America's Road to Wealth

Abel plans to let Scarlett shoot the movie.

It is the movie "Kick-Ass" that appeared in 2010 in parallel time and space.

This is adapted from the comic "Kick-Ass" by Mark Millar.

A funny comedy-type superhero film played by Chloë Grace Moretz, who was about thirteen years old at the time.

Abel plans to let Scarlett play the role of Super Killer at this time.

At this time, Scarlett was about the same height as thirteen-year-old Chloë Grace Moretz.

When the time comes for the shoot, make up a little more childish.

With Scarlett's current appearance, she can definitely bring out the girlish and Lolita-like temperament of Super Killer.

Without looking at Liv Tyler, I suddenly saw Scarlett wearing a bath towel.

Did you almost mistake her for a twelve or thirteen year old girl?

In addition, super-killer girls are popular. One is pretty and cool, the other is a violent Lolita plot.

Scarlett has them all.

And during the filming process, she could also try to hide her well-developed figure.

By the time Scarlett finishes these two plays, she will have almost grown up in a year or two.

Then let her play Natasha the Black Widow again.

At that time, when everyone is watching the movie.

They will suddenly discover that the Lolita super-killer girl is actually so predictable!

Abel remembered that Kick-Ass' investment was not expensive either.

Even if we just let Scarlett practice how to shoot the scene of beating a woman first, that would be fine.

After all, it’s just a low-budget funny superhero movie, so it doesn’t matter if it flops.

Just think of it as a practice for Scarlett and MGM, and learn from the experience of shooting superhero movies.

As for Scarlett, she heard that she will soon be able to play the leading role in an MGM movie.

As the heroine of a series, she didn't even ask about the film's investment budget. She was already so excited that she forgot all about it.

Even that night, the swelling had not gone away.

Scarlett sacrificed herself bravely.

It's a great time riding a horse.

The result of this is that she will need several days of training later.

Only then can the body be fully restored.

February 15th.

Abel finally returned to New York.

Unlike Los Angeles, which has already begun to recover.

New York in February.

Even if it’s already mid-term.

Except for a period at noon, the temperature is still below freezing most of the time.

Fortunately, the blizzard is gone, leaving only the occasional light and moderate snow.

But Abel had a reason to come back.

Because there are still a few days left, the closing period of Smith Capital’s first private placement is about to end.

Smith Capital’s first private placement raised a total of US$3 billion.

The management fee is 0, the redemption fee is 2%, and the subscription fee is 1%.

In addition to the outrageous management fee of 0, the other two values ​​are relatively low among Wall Street.

But the most outrageous thing is the bonus withdrawal fee of up to 50%.

50% dividend withdrawal fee for this $3 billion private placement.

This means that half of the profits earned will be commissions from the fund managers and management institutions of Abel and Smith Capital.

Among them, the share ratio of Abel and Smith's capital is 9:1.

That is, if Abel can get ten dollars.

All he needs to do is give the company a dollar.

Suppose this private placement earns 10 billion US dollars.

It is necessary to give Abel 5 billion US dollars.

Abel will give Smith Capital $500 million of the $5 billion.

At Smith Capital’s year-end investment reception.

Smith Capital has announced the closing profits of the first phase of private placement.

That's about $5.6 billion.

And wait until the 20th of this month, the closed period will officially end.

Smith Capital’s first phase of private placement will distribute money for the first time and also for the last time.

Because after that, the first phase of the private equity fund will be closed.

This is the main thing Abel has to do when he returns to New York this time.

When he came back, it was already evening.

He didn't notify anyone, after all, he was the boss and the person in charge of everything.

In addition to family members and women.

He doesn't need to explain his itinerary to anyone.

Even women and family members, many times, are the same.

Manhattan, New York.

8 East 63rd Street.

This is a five-story townhouse located on the Upper East Side.

For a 9-bedroom, 9-bathroom unit, the monthly property tax is $14,166.

It's ideally located on the boulevard between Fifth and Madison avenues.

Owners who live here can easily access Central Park, museums, Madison Avenue Shopping Center and other famous places in Manhattan.

This is the property Abel bought two months ago, costing him $24.995 million.

The reason is that the difference of US$5,000 is exactly 25 million.

This is because according to the current deed tax payment standards in Manhattan.

A luxury house worth 25 million will pay 5% more deed tax than a house worth less than 25 million.

Around ten o'clock in the evening.

Upper East Side, 8 East 63rd Street

"coffee!"

Abel, who was wearing a thick long coat, opened the door and went straight in with a chill from the female bodyguard.

After entering the warm room, he took off his coat and walked to the living room on the second floor.

Abel saw a bottle of whiskey and two crystal square glasses with slightly lower bottoms on the table.

In the two wine glasses, one had only a little bit of wine left.

The other one didn't.

There was a female bodyguard waiting next to her, and she saw the boss's questioning eyes.

The female bodyguard responded softly: "Miss Lerner and her friends went up to rest."

Abel nodded.

Miss Lerner is, of course, D. Ikana Lerner.

This townhouse is actually a little love nest that Abel gave to Ikana.

After the two confirm their relationship.

Ikana moved in here last month when Abel left New York and Hawaii.

When I was almost 20 years old, I was able to have my own independent house.

And it is also the top luxury house on the Upper East Side, an independent townhouse.

This kind of house, even with Ikana's background, makes her very proud.

The key is this house, Ikana is free to do it herself.

With it, Ikana is even more capable of dancing in the socialite circle in New York.

According to the report of the professionals arranged by Abel around her.

Ikana often brings her friends from the socialite circle back to live here, and even occasionally holds parties.

Of course.

Ikana is also very measured and has never brought a man home, not even her father.

And she never stayed up late at night.

Abel has learned about Ikana’s character and experience in parallel time and space.

He knew that was the kind of person she was.

In the past, she only had the few resources provided by her father.

She can make friends all over the New York socialite circle.

Now we have Abel's resources, as well as the mansion and yacht given by Abel.

She is even more capable in this regard.

As far as Abel knows, Ikana is now almost becoming a "lord" in the New York socialite circle.

She has a greater status in the New York socialite circle than her previous and parallel time and space contemporaries.

Abel actually agrees with this.

It is better for Ikana to work in the socialite circle all day long than to think about YKM with no future.

It's better than her thinking about becoming her main palace all day long, thinking about intrigues and scheming.

Anyway, I have professional staff to follow me, so I am not afraid of the chameleon problem.

Just a New York socialite.

Just let her play.

With a smile, Abel went up to the third floor.

The first floor of the villa is the living room and leisure room.

On the second floor are the large living room and dining room, as well as a small living room.

The third floor is a study room and a master bedroom that takes up most of the area.

The fourth and fifth floors are all guest rooms and other bedrooms.

There is an outdoor swimming pool on the roof of the sixth floor.

There is also a small hanging garden.

Ikana naturally lived in the master bedroom, and her guests were probably in the guest bedroom upstairs.

When he walked to the master bedroom door, Abel listened carefully inside but didn't hear any sound.

He turned the door, but it was unlocked, so Abel directly opened the bedroom door and walked in.

After entering, what Abel saw was some messy white round Simmons, with some clothes scattered in a mess.

A pair of white Balenciaga fell in front of the closed bathroom door.

Abel walked over and picked up the Balenciaga on the ground.

Abel was still inside and saw a pair of small Neinei from Esa Company priced at $99.99.

He walked back to Simmons, thought for a while, took out his cell phone from his pocket, and turned it to silent.

Then he stood up and took off his clothes, leaving only one piece on.

It seems that because I am looking forward to the next show, the visual impact is a bit BIG.

Checking the time, almost ten minutes had passed, and he still didn't see Ikana coming out of the bathroom.

After thinking about it, Abel lifted up the quilt and got in directly.

A few minutes later, he heard the sound of the bathroom door opening while under the quilt.

He waited quietly.

Soon Abel heard footsteps and came to the edge of Simmons and stood still, rustling and not knowing what he was doing.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Ikana to sit on Simmons.

He exploded again to give her a real "surprise".

But the quilt was a bit stuffy, and the heating in the room was too sufficient.

This made Abel really unable to stay any longer.

Abel was in Ikana, sitting next to Simmons who was closest to him.

He suddenly jumped up, lifted the quilt, hugged Ikana, and laughed - "Surprise!!!"

He noticed that this Ikana actually came out without wearing a yukata.

The figure is still much smaller and has shrunk a lot.

What responded to him were two screams from Ikana.

Why two sounds?

Because another Ikana wearing a yukata, just opposite him, came out of the bathroom.

Ikana, who was wearing a yukata, was startled when she saw someone suddenly jump out from under the quilt, and couldn't help but scream.

There was another Ikana in his arms, without wearing a yukata.

She was suddenly attacked, and naturally she screamed in fright.

I saw an Ikana at the bathroom door, and I was holding an "Ikana" in my arms.

Abel naturally knew that he had definitely hugged the wrong person.

He was a little embarrassed and lowered his head with a stiff neck.

The "Ikana" in my arms, where is Ikana.

It's obviously Paris Hilton.

Ten minutes after the chaos.

In the large living room on the second floor.

"Feel sorry."

Abel looked at Paris Hilton, who was neatly dressed, and apologized.

Sitting opposite him was Paris Hilton, who looked a little shy and did not dare to look at him. She lowered her head slightly and said:

"You didn't mean it. You misunderstood that I was Ikana. I don't blame you."

Next to her was an embarrassed and helpless Ikana.

"Okay~ That's it for now." Abel smiled: "It's a bit late, Miss Hilton, I'm going up to rest."

After explaining, he didn't wait for their reaction.

Abel got up directly and went to the master bedroom on the third floor.

He was in the master bedroom for about half an hour.

The door to the master bedroom was opened and Ikana walked in.

He directly hugged Ikana and threw her onto the big Simmons.

"When did your relationship with Paris become so good?"

After pressing up, Abel did not immediately take the second step.

He asked curiously.

Ikana said helplessly: "Actually, we have always known each other. New York is so big, how big can our circle be."

"Okay." Abel nodded, "Then don't worry about Paris. Honey, they are so big again! I love them!"

Abel took his second step.

The next day, Abel's biological clock automatically woke him up around seven o'clock.

As for Ikana.

She probably wouldn't wake up until noon.

After washing up in the master bedroom, he left the bedroom and went to the second floor.

In the restaurant, Abel saw Paris again.

"Good morning, Paris." Abel greeted with a smile, as if what happened last night did not make him feel embarrassed at all.

Paris seemed a little surprised to see him getting up so early.

But the eldest daughter of the Hilton family also responded quickly:

"Good morning, Abel."

"What do you want to eat?"

Abel sat down at the main seat of the restaurant table and asked Paris.

Next to him was Stephen, the personal chef who came to serve him first after seeing him appear.

Chef Stephen previously worked at a Michelin-starred restaurant in New York.

When Abel and Ikana went on their second date, they ate at the restaurant where Stephen worked.

It was that time that Abel dug Stephen into the wall.

Later, he arranged for Stephen to work at No. 1 Thirteenth Road, Royal Point, New York.

Later, Joanna was transferred to Manhattan to work by him.

Stephen was also transferred to Manhattan by Abel.

It just so happened that Stephen used to work as a personal chef at Ikana's house.

Abel simply asked Stephen to come and work at 8 East 63rd Street.

Paris lowered her head and said softly: "I can do anything."

Abel just let the chef make whatever arrangements he wanted.

Abel had an extremely awkward breakfast.

This made him eat quickly. After eating, he said something to Paris Hilton and left quickly.

Around 9:30 am.

Abel arrived outside the Smith Building.

I haven't come to the company for a month.

His first feeling after arriving at the company was that the number of vehicles parked in the parking lot in front of the company building had increased.

To be precise, the entire parking lot was full.

So much so that some cars were parked on the avenue outside the parking lot.

Obviously, during the time he didn't come back.

Smith Capital was hiring heavily, and more people came to work than there was room in the parking lot.

But just because other people's cars can't fit, doesn't mean the boss's car can't fit.

In the entire parking lot, the parking spaces closest to the door are always empty.

That is the management parking space, and there are two parking spaces in it, which are dedicated parking spaces for Abel's fleet.

After entering the company, Smith Capital is visibly more lively than before.

Previously, the total number of employees in Smith Capital never exceeded 130.

The entire building, the second and first floors were previously vacant.

The workshops and trading rooms are all located on the third floor, and the entire building is very empty.

After returning to the company this time, he found that the company had undergone many changes.

He was watching the company change.

Those employees in the company who discovered that he was back were looking at him.

The arrival of his boss, this Wall Street giant, this symbol of Smith Capital.

It has already attracted the attention of all the company employees.

Some old Smith Capital employees shouted excitedly after seeing him appear:

"Hey! Our king is back! Smith Capital, salute our king!"

The old employees were yelling and even imitating the ancient European and Western knightly etiquette to pay tribute to Abel.

The actions of these old employees made the new employees take action immediately.

The last step is from the door to the elevator.

All the Smith employees on the road were performing the ancient European knight's salute to Abel.

This made Abel dumbfounded.

At the same time, when Abel was taking the elevator, he saw many more busy people on the first and second floors.

When Abel took the elevator and reached the fourth floor.

David Mellon, general manager of Smith Capital, and Melio, deputy general manager, were already waiting at the elevator entrance with a group of senior executives.

As soon as Abel came out, he saw David and the others, and Melio shouted like an ancient courtier:

"Salute like our king~"

Then the executives of Smith Capital, like the other employees downstairs.

Facing Abel, a set of standard medieval European knightly etiquette came.

Abel:.

Soon, in Abel's office.

"How is it? I think this is good."

"In our Smith Capital, you are the only king."

"We are all knights who charge into battle for you in the country of capital."

"A knight should perform knightly rites against a king~"

"This was Melio's suggestion at the beginning. Later I thought it was very interesting and asked everyone to hold a meeting. Everyone agreed, and that was it!"

"."

David's explanation finally made Abel understand why all the old employees of Smith Capital were here today.

There is also the reason why new employees whom Abel doesn't know will perform knighthoods on themselves.

To be honest, describing it in words is a bit half-hearted.

But when you are in it, everyone who passes by treats you like a king.

It really made Abel feel like he was the king in this building.

Facing David's statement, Abel frowned and said hesitantly: "I always think this is a bit weird."

"I don't think so." David smiled and said:

"Basically, the big investment banks and financial companies on Wall Street all have their own strange traditions."

"Like Goldman Sachs, their tradition is that vice presidents travel everywhere, and the president is worse than a dog."

"Like Morgan Stanley, their tradition is that every Thursday, the whole company must have afternoon tea, and there must be waffles in the afternoon tea."

"Like Lehman Brothers, their senior management likes to play with the unspoken rules of the workplace~ Well, if you're pretty, it's best not to go to their company."

"Like Bear Stearns, they hold an internal sports competition on the first Monday of June every year."

"Like Bridgewater"

"."

David Mellon talked freely, telling some little secrets in the industry that even Abel didn't know.

"These are traditions. They probably have no serious use."

"But they play a vital role in shaping the culture, rules and spirit of a company."

"Sometimes very useful."

David looked at Abel seriously:

"Smith Capital exists because of you. You are the king of this country. Your role in Smith Capital is stronger than the Creator."

“The Lord has said that we cannot create the Lord in our lives.”

"But we can follow the king in life~"

"From now on, we will be knights, and you will be Smith's king."
