America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 184 Ambrosio was taught a lesson

Wall Street giants actually only need one month.

It doesn’t even take a month.

These giants are concerned about the flow of Smith Capital investment funds.

They will then know that Abel's true investment style is always only one.

That is. Abel Smith, who always only invests in financial categories that make money!

Whether it is his radical approach in the international foreign exchange market or the international futures market.

It is still his stable and diversified approach in the US stock market.

Or in the future, in venture capital, he will adopt a fisherman’s approach of casting a net.

There is only one final result, and that is to make money, make a lot of money!

This is because

This time Smith Capital invested in more than 100 U.S. listed companies.

They are judged in Abel's financial genius over the next half to two months.

Each of them has increased by more than 50%, and the most exaggerated increase has even increased by 364% in two months.

This means that Abel’s investment is more than 10 billion US dollars.

He doesn't have to do anything next, he just needs to rely on the growth of the stocks of these companies themselves.

There is also the stimulus and help from the US government to US stocks.

In two months at the latest, his US$10 billion will become at least more than US$20 billion.

Put it this way.

His investment transaction this time was actually directly involved in more than 6,500 U.S. listed stocks in 2000.

The top three stocks on the list of more than 100 stocks rising in the past two months were selected.

As long as the general trend of the U.S. economy does not suddenly change.

As long as Abel's financial genius is still working.

As for these stocks, even if someone snipers.

Nor do they change easily.

Making money is Abel's only investment style.

But right now, Wall Street isn't very clear about this.

They have always thought that Abel's investment style is a gambler's risk-taking.

This is because they made a mistake in judgment.

After this investment in US stocks.

Smith Capital's cash flow is no longer as "strong" as before.

before this.

Smith Capital has almost $15 billion in funds in its account.

Including Smith Capital 1, 2, and 3, the total number of private equity funds in the three phases is approximately US$18.6 billion.

A total of approximately US$33.6 billion in funding.

these funds.

Abel set up New Start Real Estate and took out a billion dollars.

It was acquired by Abel to form Pacific Commercial Bank, which took away almost 13 billion US dollars.

Abel invested in US stocks and withdrew a total of US$14 billion.

The cash flow of US$33.6 billion suddenly dropped by US$28 billion.

Compared with the previous huge amount of more than 30 billion.

The remaining cash flow of more than 5 billion can naturally be called "thin".

It's just that this kind of lack of "richness" is actually considered a lot on Wall Street.

Abel was not anxious about this.

For the time being, he has no intention of continuing to cut leeks in the international market.

The main reason is that the Wall Street giants are now staring at him.

Abel didn't want to spend all day in the company, so he had to use his "talent" every day to avoid falling into the trap.

Coupled with more than five billion US dollars in cash, it is enough for him to deal with most emergencies.

What's more, even this cash is not enough.

He now has his own bank.

At Pacific Commercial Bank, at least half of the more than 100 billion US dollars in custody funds can be borrowed by him.

As long as you guarantee interest and avoid runs, you can use it as long as you want.

That's the benefit of having your own bank.

It can greatly improve the financial group's capital circulation.

This is also the reason why banks are often the core of large consortiums.

December 22nd.

Abel had a busy few days at Smith Capital, after working in the capital market.

He was finally free.

As soon as he had some free time, he wanted to do something new.

for example

The first annual show of Isa Company will start in two days.

On the evening of December 24th in Times Square, this "crossroads of the world" will launch a super underwear show!

As early as four or five days ago, around Times Square.

Those super giant "billboards" composed of buildings.

On them, the advance warm-up content for December 24th has already appeared.

There are many MVs shot by Isa Company.

Including those beautiful and sexy angels, wearing lingerie catwalk clips.

Scene of blood spurting while changing clothes in the locker room without revealing any spots

They show innocent and cute moments in "everyday life".

Clips of them working hard and sweating during training rehearsals

These pictures were shot and constructed by professional Hollywood photographers and directors.

Keep appearing on these giant "billboards".

Like Central Park, Times Square is an iconic area of ​​New York.

There are about 600,000 people here every day, and the average annual tourist flow is 40 million.

And by advertising here, you can often get international gossip.

This is considered another indirect advertisement.

This also makes advertising here very expensive.

Want those giant "billboards" to advertise.

The billing is calculated in seconds.

The price is based on the large screen outside the Times Company building, which is the most conspicuous and expensive.

If you want an image to appear on it, the cost is $1,000 for 20 times, 5 seconds each time, which is equivalent to an average of $10 per second.

An hour costs $36,000, and a day costs $860,000.

It costs more than 20 million US dollars a month.

Of course, there are discounts for monthly subscriptions.

The Times Company gave a very "favorable" price.

If anyone really wants to book it for a month.

According to the current market conditions, only ten million US dollars is needed.

And this is just one of the most conspicuous big screens in Times Square.

There are more than 20 such large screens in the entire square.

The area is smaller, or the area is even smaller, for example, some are even only a few square meters.

The total number of such billboards in Times Square exceeds 300.

Some of the more remote or inconspicuous billboards are actually very cheap.

The price of an ordinary screen is about US$100,000-500,000 per month.

ISA's approach.

Choose a week before Isa's show.

Advertisements began to be placed on these billboards.

On the first day, there were only five big screens showing.

Ten pictures the next day.

Twenty cards on the third day.

Forty cards on the fourth day.

Eighty on the fifth day.

One hundred and sixty on the sixth day.

The seventh day.

All the billboards throughout Times Square.

There will only be those sexy and beautiful Isha Angels catwalking and charming MV scenes left!

At the same time, this evening will also be the day when the annual show of Isa Company begins!

December 22nd is already the fifth day of advertising.

Among the eighty billboards, thirty are large and the rest are medium-sized.

In terms of number, they only occupy about one-sixth of the billboards in Times Square.

But in terms of visual area, the entire Times Square has been rendered into the appearance of Elizabeth's back garden.

The screen is constantly showing off the beauty, sexiness, vitality and youth of the angels in Elizabeth's back garden in every possible way.

This scene has long been spread to the entire world through the media.

Just a few days.

These super ads for Elizabeth's back garden.

It has attracted countless LSPs, women who care about fashion, and melon-eating people around the world.

A large part of it has focused its attention here.

Even the relatively conservative China at this time.

The more open and cutting-edge TV stations in Hong Kong and Macao have also reported on this.

The Chinese Internet is also full of curiosity and discussion about the scene in Times Square.

And drooling and screen licking

"Wow, so models can be so sexy and beautiful? I thought they were all just sticks with little flesh."

"Look, they can still smile! They smile so beautifully! I saw models from the past on catwalks, and they all had a stern face!"

"Shadow! Shape! Look at the figure, there are so many bears!"

"Brother, you discovered Watson's big blind spot!"

"Hey, hey, that's a big deal. I checked, and that beautiful girl is called Gisele Bundchen. She is a Brazilian supermodel. She seems to be very famous in the United States!"

"I think the most beautiful one is the younger one, named Lima. She seems to be from Argentina?"

"Oh, I think the one named Karolina Korkova is more beautiful. I heard that she is only sixteen years old. She is so tender that she is almost wet!"

"Ahhhh~~ I really want to go to New York, I really want to go to Times Square~~"

"."

Compared to Victoria's Secret in parallel time and space, because it dares to burn money.

Elizabeth’s back garden entered the attention of Chinese people several years earlier than Victoria’s Secret in parallel time and space.

In other countries around the world, they only have contact with the outside world.

As long as there is a place radiated by European and American media.

In a very short period of time, because of this super commercial in Times Square.

Many people paid attention to this big show in Elizabeth's back garden in advance.

This is also thanks to the already relatively complete global Internet.

Old SPs, fashion lovers and melon-eating viewers, except on TV stations and newspapers.

They can also get more relevant news through the Internet.

To some extent.

This can be regarded as an increase in the exposure of Elizabeth's back garden and this annual show.

This incident also made the New York City government very happy.

For the New York City government, this is undoubtedly a publicity for Times Square and a publicity for New York.

This allows the current mayor to deal with the doubts of citizens and opponents on this matter very toughly.

Mr. Mayor said loudly:

"Look! This wise decision of mine not only made money for the New York City government, but also gave New York a free advertisement! There is no wiser decision than this!"

Mr. Mayor still had something to say.

That was his wise decision.

At the same time, it also allowed many members of the New York City government to make a lot of money privately!

And just when the eyes of most LSPs around the world were drawn to Times Square.

December 22nd.

Abel decided to take a trip to the Long Island beach.

It's been a while since he went to No. 1 Thirteenth Road, Royal Point, New York.

During his absence.

One Thirteenth Road, Royal Point, New York.

Abel privately called it the manor villa in Isa's Baby Garden.

It was borrowed by Isa Company to temporarily serve as accommodation and training space for the 25 contracted models.

One more thing to mention.

It’s time for the lingerie catwalk.

There will be more than just these twenty-five contracted models taking part.

There will be about twenty other models who will also appear on the stage at the same time as them.

Compared with the models of Isa Company, these green leaf models are more famous.

Many professionals are attracted by them.

But these supermodels who have not signed a contract and are generally more famous

The location and time of their catwalks are certainly not as good as those of Isa's company.

They are just temporary green leaves to support the debut of Isa's angels.

They themselves know this.

Just for the sake of the green dollar bills, they are willing to be green leaves for once.

All in all, the total investment for the first Isa show.

Probably more than $150 million.

This is definitely Victoria's Secret right now, and there's money Wexner isn't willing to burn.

It is precisely under this exaggerated burning of money.

Only then can Isha Company, which didn’t even exist three months ago.

In a short period of time, it attracted the attention of tens of millions of people across the United States and even the world.

When everyone's eyes are on Times Square.

The twenty-five "angels" who live here also received the message.

The boss will come today.

Early in the morning, Isa's models started putting on makeup.

Put on the clothes they each think are the most attractive and wait for his arrival in Baby Isa's garden.

No. 1 Huangdian Thirteenth Road has a total of 18 bedrooms and 22 bathrooms.

The indoor area is more than 200 square meters, and the master bedroom has a usable area of ​​300 square meters.

That was the room where Abel lived.

Of course they can't live in it.

Not even the four supermodels who have had negative distance contact with Abel.

But the remaining seventeen large bedrooms are used to house twenty-five contracted models.

Definitely more than enough.

Four of them are already in a relationship with Abel, a supermodel, and of course they have their own private room.

Before the other supermodels arrived, the private rooms of the four of them were actually their private rooms.

The remaining twenty-one supermodels.

Had to share the other thirteen bedrooms.

Those with lower status can naturally only live in a room with two people.

Like Gisele Bundchen, who is from Brazil.

Alessandra Ambrosio is only nineteen years old this year.

She had to share a house with another young American supermodel, 21-year-old Angela Lindworth.

Angela Lindewald actually has very good credentials in the modeling industry.

She debuted in 1993.

In 1998, she signed a contract with Prada and became their exclusive supermodel for one year.

Even in 1999, she replaced Stella Tennant as Karl Lagerfeld's muse.

This year Angela Lindewald was also selected as "Vogue" Model of the Year.

But was ultimately defeated by Carmen Keys.

In the last month, because Elizabeth's back garden better pay and benefits.

And the reasons why people like Gisele Bündchen enjoyed their fame after becoming Smith Girls.

Angela Lindewald did not resist the temptation and also signed up for Elizabeth's Back Garden.

In fact, Elizabeth’s back garden is because of Abel’s super traffic aura.

Its appeal to supermodels is already higher than any fashion brand.

After all, those fashion brands and even luxury brands bring them fame and income.

No matter how you look at it, it is impossible to get more than what Hollywood and Isa Company have given them.

Smart people know how to choose.

Have the opportunity to enter Hollywood to make movies, and have the opportunity to be an actor.

Even an already famous supermodel like Angela Lindworth.

She also found it difficult to resist the temptation of Elizabeth's back garden.

It's just that she joined relatively late, even though her reputation and qualifications are relatively high in the modeling circle.

After joining Isa Company, my current ranking is not very high.

I can only share a house with Alessandra Ambrosio, a "little model" who is currently unknown in the United States.

Although it is shared accommodation, each guest room at No. 1 Huangdian Thirteenth Road has an area of ​​more than 70 to 80 square meters.

Each large bed is over two meters tall.

Two slender supermodels are not crowded at all when lying on it.

Coupled with the overall services and facilities of the villa, it can be said that everyone's living environment is actually very exaggerated.

Good exaggeration.

This makes supermodels have no complaints about living together.

If it is based on their current income and expected future income.

It's obvious.

It was once on the news that they would never be able to live in this house for the rest of their lives.

It is said to be worth more than $65 million and is where the super-rich man on the Forbes list lives.

Originally in the morning.

Supermodels gather together and eat nutritious meals provided by the company.

In the breakfast room.

They all got the news that the owner of this mansion would come to visit them today.

At the same time, the company also announced that they can take a rest this morning and no longer need to train or rehearse.

The company’s CEO and general manager, Michael Levine, also said implicitly——

"I hope you will look your best to welcome our Mr. Smith!"

"Believe me, this will bring you unimaginable benefits!"

"Be brave and decisive."

"Many years from now, I believe you will definitely feel lucky for your bravery today!"

"Girls, go get ready for your beauty show!"

Getting this news, hearing what Michael Levine almost said directly.

Twenty-five top supermodels, or beautiful women with the potential to become top supermodels.

They all ran back to their own houses in the villa.

Like Alessandra Ambrosio and Angela Lindworth, they do the same.

in the room.

Two running back supermodels.

Just now we almost got into a fight over the position in front of the makeup mirror.

They both want to put on makeup before the other.

Fortunately, they all have sense and know that if it really makes a big fuss, it might become a joke.

In the end, they didn't fight.

Instead, they unanimously decided to decide who would use the makeup mirror first through guessing.

Angela Lindworth won, and she started putting makeup on herself.

Alessandra Ambrosio, the younger supermodel, stood aside and watched with cold eyes.

That kind of look, as if looking at the enemy.

Obviously before this, the two of them had a pretty good conversation because they lived in the same house.

"Hey, dear Alexandra! You don't have to look at me like that!"

Angela Lindwall raised her thin eyebrows carefully, and she had no time to speak, Barabala said.

"There's still plenty of time. The boss said he won't come until around ten o'clock. It's not even nine o'clock now, so you still have time to put on your makeup!"

"Haha." The younger Alessandra Ambrosio sneered.

"You understand why I look at you like that. Angela."

"I look at you like this because I have been getting along with you for nearly a month. I think we are friends!"

"I didn't expect you to treat a friend like this. You almost hit me just now!"

Alessandra Ambrosio said angrily.

"Haha~" Angela laughed softly while putting on makeup.

"Alexandra. You have just arrived in the United States, and you have just officially entered this cruel top circle."

"As someone who has experienced this, you should not be angry at my attitude just now."

"Instead, you should thank me for teaching you the true cruelty of this circle through this month of getting along and what happened today!"

"That's what it means to be in this circle. One second you could still be with smiling colleagues."

"In the next second, I may fall out with you because of an advertisement, an endorsement, or even a cover!"

"You see what I mean? Alexandra?"

Perhaps before this, Alessandra Ambrosio still didn’t understand.

But after this month of getting along, and Angela Lindworth’s change of face just now.

Alessandra Ambrosio gets it.

in this circle.

In the face of opportunities and interests.

Even if it's just a possible opportunity or benefit.

As the same kind.

It often only takes a moment for them to fall out.

Alessandra Ambrosio learned a lesson today.
