America's Road to Wealth

One Thirteenth Road, Royal Point, New York.

In the manor villa,

Beautiful and dazzling outdoor glass dome swimming pool.

Even though it’s close to four degrees outside at this time.

There was also a level 5 cold wind blowing, enough to make anyone with thin clothing shiver.

In the glass swimming pool,

Regardless of the cost and the expense of knife music.

The interior of the huge glass dome, which is forty meters wide, fifty-five meters long and about eight meters high, is as warm as spring at this time.

When Michael Levine, wearing a coat, got off the helicopter, he felt it was much colder than Manhattan.

Not long after entering the glass swimming pool, Michael was so hot that he wanted to take off his coat.

Michael looked in all four directions of the glass pool.

Under the four glass walls, there are more than twenty outdoor heaters and thermal air conditioners in total.

These energy-consuming guys provide enough warmth inside the glass dome.

The boss is really enjoying himself.

Use so many powerful air coolers combined with thermal air conditioning.

This glass swimming pool, even if it's snowing outside.

It probably won't even get cold inside.

It’s just possible that the electricity bill will be shocking.

Thinking of this, Michael Levin regained his composure and listened carefully to his boss's story.

"The New York City government has agreed. Although it is a bit expensive, and it only gave us one day to prepare, five hours to use, and three hours to dismantle."

"But it's already great. To be honest, I didn't expect them to agree. This can be regarded as an unexpected surprise."

Same as the last time I came.

Michael Levine sat primly on a recliner.

Abel was wearing a bathrobe and lounging on the lounge chair.

Beside the lounge chair,

It was Joanna, the head of Abel's housekeeper, surrounded by four beautiful maids who were always on hand.

Under the pool.

Just like last time, there are two beautiful "mermaids" wearing bikinis and swimming inside.

Michael Levine controlled his gaze to avoid upsetting his boss.

Michael Levine also knew what his boss said.

What I am talking about is that this time Isa Company was actually able to be in the hands of the New York City Government.

Apply for the qualification to hold an event in Times Square, Manhattan on December 24th.

In fact, it’s not just the boss who finds it a bit unbelievable.

Michael Levin himself still feels a bit like he is in a dream.

Half a month ago.

When Michael Levin learned that the New York City Government actually approved the application of Isa Company.

Levin's first reaction was to wonder if it was April, and whether he heard the news on April 1st.

But subsequent facts proved that Isa Company was indeed successful.

It received temporary use rights from the New York City government for a section of Times Square in Manhattan.

It's just very expensive.

In order to obtain this qualification.

In one month, Isa Company donated a total of three donations to the New York City Government.

This donation will be used for public infrastructure and public personnel welfare.

Three donations, each amounting to more than the last, totaled more than $20 million.

These are positive donations to the New York City government.

On the side, there are other donations.

ESAB has also made numerous donations to several private charitable funds.

If you look carefully, you will find these private charitable foundations.

The owners behind them each have high-level connections with the New York City government.

For example, one of them received a donation of US$3 million to a charitable foundation that cares for dolphins in New York waters.

Its permanent honorary chairman is the current First Lady of New York, Ms. Julia.

Donations in these two areas.

Add it all up, and the total amount is almost $50 million.

In addition to these donations, ESAB also has to pay for the towers surrounding Times Square.

The cost is almost more than 20 million US dollars.

Altogether, the cost has exceeded $70 million.

There is also a K Street company that specializes in New York, which was also hired by Isa.

The cost is also staggering.

In total, Esa's company has paid a bill of more than 80 million US dollars.

This is a staggering expense.

But even so, Michael Levine didn't think he could succeed at first.

The money will most likely be wasted.

After all, it was before this.

Never heard of a private company being able to use Times Square alone for a period of time.

After all, it is the famous crossroads of the world!

But in the end, the application was approved.

Early efforts with little hope, and huge expenditures of US dollars.

It paid off.

But Michael Levine knew why he could apply for success.

In addition to the credit of a lot of U.S. dollars, ESAB's own efforts have actually achieved little.

Can be approved by the New York City Government.

The biggest reason still lies in the young and handsome boss in front of him.

Hearing his boss's emotion at this moment, Michael Levine said quickly:

"This is all because of you. It is because of your efforts that Isa has achieved tasks that other companies cannot achieve!"

"Ha~ I like hearing you say that." Abel said with a smile: "Even if it is true. But Michael, your tone is always so pleasant."

The two Michaels around Abel are both senior pimps.

Or should I say,

A good entertainment agent in the United States is also the so-called entertainment agent.

Every one of these people must have worked as a pimp!

An entertainment agent who cannot do this job well must not have very good resources in the industry.

Because many times, if you make the senior figures in the circle happy, you will have a high probability of getting the corresponding resources.

The costs are low and the rewards can be huge.

Low investment and high benefits, why not?

Under this premise,

An entertainment agent cannot be a pimp even if he wants to.

If you want to be a good pimp, you must have a sweet mouth in front of people with resources, that's for sure.

Michael Ovitz did it, Michael Levine did it.

Abel felt that among the people around him.

When it comes to flattering and sweet-talking, only Melio can steadily suppress these two people.

"Now that we have the right to host it."

Abel looked at Michael Levine and said seriously:

"Then we can't screw it up. If we screw it up, it will not only make the future of Isa Company bleak."

"It will also embarrass me. It may even make the New York City government complain about me."

"You know what I mean? Michael, there's no way to fail on the night of December 24th."

Seeing the serious expression on his boss's face, Michael Levin's heart suddenly tightened.

Michael Levine immediately nodded and said seriously:

"BOSS. Please rest assured. I have hired the best designers, engineers, and actuaries to calculate the entire process and construction and dismantling of the facilities."

"I guarantee that there will be no problems with the facilities of this event!"

That's Times Square, it's so eye-catching.

The Isa Company will hold its own Isa show there on Christmas Eve, December 24th.

It can be said that just these two points will attract the attention of most Americans that night.

The popularity will be so high that one can even hope to see the Super Bowl.

After all, the Super Bowl happens every year.

The lingerie model catwalk in Times Square on Christmas Eve was truly the first time in history!

If something happens on the field when it is held, or even an accident.

Not only will Abel bear a great responsibility, but even the New York City government may become a laughing stock.

The current mayor of the Elephant Party will no longer participate in the election next year.

He is about to leave office. Due to physical reasons, he will not be able to pursue a career in politics in the future.

Before leaving office,

He wants to make a fortune and is not afraid of taking the blame.

In addition, I also wanted to take risks and bet that Abel would succeed.

If successful, it would give New York one more event.

The tourism and attention to New York can also be of some help.

There are considerations in this regard.

Only the New York City government would agree to this application and approve this outrageous application for the Isa show to be held in Times Square.

Abel's personal reasons also played a part in this.

When Isha Company applied, it was when the Smith storm was at its most intense.

New York is somewhat of an Internet celebrity city, and at that time Abel was the largest “Internet celebrity” in the United States.

New York also wants to take advantage of his hot spot.

In addition, Abel contacted several companies on K Street in Washington, DC.

In addition to asking them to cause trouble with Sony, they also asked them to find some people to lobby for this matter.

After a multi-pronged approach, we finally succeeded.

But this kind of success is not even half of the real success.

Real success will have to wait until the Isa show is over and get very good feedback.

That is true success.

Of course, there can be no mistakes in this process.

If things go wrong, the collapse of Isa's company is only a trivial matter.

Let the New York City government complain or even blame, or cause a bad impact.

That's the big bad thing.

Here, if something happens, Abel is of course the first person responsible.

But Abel could escape easily. At most, he would have a bad reputation and bear some infamy.

Lose some money.

And Michael Levine, the second person responsible, is probably beyond redemption.

For this event, Michael Levine can be said to have staked his career and reputation.

Cheng Ze became the boss of the most famous modeling company and underwear company in the United States and even the world, and became a big boss in the industry.

If it fails, I probably won’t even be able to go back to work at CAA.

When things come to this point, Michael Levine is naturally extremely serious.

Fortunately, Abel gave him very strong support.

Whether it’s connections in New York or financial support.

No effort is spared.

This makes Michael Levine do a lot easier on this matter.

Michael Levine reciprocated whatever his boss asked for.

Naturally, I try my best to do it.

Like tonight.

In fact, he was still negotiating with personnel from two engineering companies before this.

I'm so busy that I can't even sit down.

But as soon as the boss called, he immediately brought two young models who were participating in the catwalk show in New Jersey to the boss.

Just because the boss said that I was afraid of swimming at night and needed two people to accompany me.

Next,

Michael Levine chatted with Abel again about the Issa Show.

Among them are considerations of hardware facilities.

"It's so cold in New York now. By Christmas Eve, it may have snowed for who knows how long."

"Although the models are very frost-resistant, they may also be extremely cold."

"It's better not to freeze them by then. If they get sick from the cold, the news later will not be good."

"Michael, do you have any plans or preparations for this?"

Hearing this question from his boss, Michael Levin thought to himself——

[You can walk in Times Square on Christmas Eve under the attention of more than tens of millions of American viewers. 】

[Those models, how could they be afraid of just a little bit of cold? 】

[Not to mention the weather around minus 5 or 6 degrees Celsius, even if it is minus 20 or 30 degrees Celsius, they will be willing. 】

Of course, they are mentally willing.

But after all, the body is still a mortal body, and it is also afraid of the cold.

When the time comes for the catwalk, we still have to think about keeping warm.

"There are currently two options."

Michael Levine spoke:

"They are all plans given by design companies and engineering companies."

"The first plan is to cover the outside of the catwalk with a glass cover to isolate the air and turn on the air conditioning and heating inside. This way the models will not be frozen."

"If we just use this plan, the scene may not be so beautiful."

Abel nodded. The disadvantage of this plan is that the glass will reflect light.

Especially at night.

At that time, it may affect the shooting and the effect of the scene.

"What about the second plan?" Abel asked again.

"The second option is to use a large number of hot air conditioners and cooling fans on site to try to increase the temperature in and around the show venue."

"The disadvantage is that no matter how much you improve it, it will eventually get cold because the hot air escapes."

"It's just that it should be much better than nothing. Models may be able to withstand the cold."

"Okay." Abel nodded. He actually didn't care much about this.

If you can perform in front of tens of millions of people around the world, what's wrong with being a bit colder?

Will any model say no?

If you get frozen, you'll probably have to rest for a while to heal.

If they don’t show up, the models will probably be the first to refuse.

After chatting for a few more words, Abel looked at the time and it was almost time.

He smiled at Michael Levine.

"Michael, I'm going swimming. Do you want to come with me?"

How dare Michael Levin come together.

The quick-responsive former CAA senior partner and agent immediately stood up and said:

"Ah~ no. Boss, to be honest, I can't swim. And I still have a job, and I have to go back to Manhattan."

"Are you still working at this late hour?"

"Yes. And it's urgent. I have to leave immediately."

"Okay then." Abel said hypocritically: "Since you are busy, you can go first."

"Okay. I'm leaving. Goodbye, BOSS."

"Goodbye, Michael."

Michael Levine left the glass pool without looking back.

It was as if he had forgotten the two young models he had brought here.

The two "mermaids" in the swimming pool have actually been paying attention to Michael Levine and Abel.

Seeing Michael Levin leave, the two people became nervous.

They knew that the drama was coming.

Can I attend the Isa show in Times Square?

Is there any chance to become a "Smith girl" like the two seniors in the company?

It all depends on how the two of them perform next.

The Czech supermodel Karolina Korkova is only 16 years old this year and has not yet grown up.

Soaking in the warm pool water, she couldn't help but whisper to Adriana Lima next to her, who was several years older than her:

"Lima, are you nervous?"

Karolina Korkova is sixteen, and Adriana Lima is actually not much older.

Lima, who was born in 1981, has only turned nineteen years old.

However, compared to Karolina Korkova, 19-year-old Lima has already made a certain reputation in the New York modeling circle.

In the middle of this year, she even became a cover model for an issue of Elle magazine.

"What's there to be nervous about?" Adriana Lima disagreed:

"What do you have to pay to enter this circle? Don't tell me you don't have this awareness yet?"

Of course, Karolina Korkova has the awareness Lima talks about.

Even though she is only sixteen years old, she has been in the modeling industry for two years.

The modeling circle in Europe and the United States is a darker circle than the entertainment industry.

Many of the explicit and implicit rules in the entertainment industry are not rules at all here.

They belong to the everyday.

"Okay." Karolina Korkova said, "I'm just a little nervous. After all, it's my first time."

Adriana Lima glanced at the little sister who was not yet fully developed.

She wanted to speak a few more words.

But at this time, she noticed that Abel on the shore had taken off his bathrobe.

The body was like a marble sculpture, more beautiful than most of the top male models in the modeling world, and jumped into the water with a splash.

Swimming towards them.

Adriana Lima retracted her slightly disdainful expression towards Karolina Korkova.

With a bright smile on her face, she swam towards Abel who was swimming over.

Sixteen-year-old Karolina Korkova was startled, then gritted her teeth, fluttered, and followed Adriana Lima.

This evening.

The glass swimming pool at No. 1 Thirteenth Road, Royal Point, New York.

Because of human movement, the temperature of the swimming pool water has increased by 0.0001 degrees.

Early next morning.

When Karolina Korkova opened her eyes in confusion, she looked at the unfamiliar ceiling above her head.

Her first reaction was that she was so tired and hurt somewhere in her body.

The second reaction was oh, I’m in my villa on Long Island now.

Last night Adriana Lima and I completed a "deal" together.

The third reaction is where is that man?

The future light of the Czech Republic, she quickly turned around and looked around, trying to find the figure of the man she thought she would never forget in this life.

But she only saw Adriana Lima sleeping and even snoring on the bed and in the room.

There was also a messy room that looked like it had been in a great war.

Due to the low blood sugar when she first woke up and her young age, K.K, the future top supermodel, was in a daze for a few minutes.

After a while, she couldn't help but push Adriana Lima next to her.

"Lima, Lima. Adriana!"

She yelled softly.

But Adriana Lima didn't react. She was still sleeping.

Lima is older and more developed.

His appearance has also completely grown.

It also took more firepower tonight.

It's a little more tiring.

Karolina Korkova couldn't wake Lima.

This made K.K feel heartbroken and secretly pinched him.

Adriana Lima screamed and then opened her beautiful wolf eyes.

"What to do?" Adriana Lima frowned and looked at KK holding the quilt.

Karolina Korkova innocently said:

"Nothing. Just Adriana. It's three o'clock in the afternoon."

"I remember we had a show in Brooklyn at four o'clock today."

"Do you think you can still walk on the catwalk now?"

Adriana Lima woke up much faster than Karolina Korkova.

"Let alone the catwalk. I feel like I can't even walk now! I won't be going to the show today!"

"But that would violate the contract and company regulations." Karolina Korkova said worriedly.

This is also the reason why after Karolina Korkova wakes up, she immediately wants to wake up Adriana Lima.

After all, Isa's contract is still very strict.

"Ha~"

Nineteen-year-old Adriana Lima sneered.

"I don't think Michael Levine is going to give us any trouble over this."

"You know it was him who sent us to this bed last night!"
