America's Road to Wealth

The lush trees swayed in the wind.

The scorching sun hangs high in the sky.

A warm breeze blows through the City of Angels.

812 North Bedford Road, Beverly Hills.

"On the Internet, many people are saying bad things about you~"

"Honey, these people are so stupid."

"They don't blame themselves for being greedy or stupid."

"They're all blaming you, you idiots! No, I'm going to scold you back!"

"."

The villa faces the city view of Los Angeles.

Outside the huge movable floor-to-ceiling window is the master bedroom with an infinity swimming pool.

Anne Hathaway is sitting at a computer.

She turned around to talk to Abel from time to time, and at the same time she was concentrating on arguing with people on the Internet.

Annie logged in at this time from a forum on the Yahoo website.

This is a stock forum where many American leeks speak freely.

But not long ago, a public enemy appeared in this forum.

This public enemy was named Abel Smith.

According to a survey initiated by a poster on the forum.

At least one-third of the people in the entire forum have lost more than a thousand dollars in "Sampra Energy".

Abe Smith was regarded as the culprit by everyone for causing everyone to lose so much money.

Naturally, I was resented by people on the forum.

Looking at Annie who was typing vigorously.

Abel came to her side with a smile, stretched out his hand and gently hugged her round and smooth shoulders.

He didn't even glance at the content of the American netizens who were scolding Annie.

Abel knew that these people must be very angry at this time.

They probably didn't expect these American leeks.

The first general tender offer in his life launched by Abel Smith.

The process would be so tortuous, and the ending would be like this.

But Abel was not afraid of their resentment.

Because it’s not just Buffett and Winston who are playing games with Abel this time.

This is the round I did this time.

There are thousands of investment banks across the United States, at least more than a hundred participating.

More securities companies must also take action.

In this "Sampla Energy" incident.

These institutions, large and small.

Some of them have made tens of millions of dollars, and some of them can probably make millions of dollars.

There wasn't a lot of meat, but it was an enjoyable hunt for hundreds of agencies across the United States.

It's a bit like the later "GameStop" incident in parallel time and space.

This is why it happened when it first happened.

Abel was also criticized in the media and on the Internet.

But within two days, these voices were suppressed.

There are these organizations helping here.

These institutions are worried about Abel, who controls the media group.

Expose them when you can't bear the pressure.

These organizations reciprocated the favor and directly suppressed most of the voices with a little cooperation.

So much so that the entire United States is currently.

The only voices that are still scolding Abel are those in the forums of relatively small American leeks.

Let’s put it this way, this time the “Sampra Energy” incident.

It was a game made by Abel.

He sacrificed part of his fame and reputation, with the cooperation of institutions that smelled blood.

They deceived a large number of leeks and buried them in the pit of "Sampla Energy".

Institutions cooperated with him and drove up the stock price in a very short period of time.

In the process of speculation, institutions have left the market one after another.

The shares of "Sampla Energy" they held were all transferred to Leeks who heard about it.

Then when the time came, Abel turned around and bought shares of California Pacific Electric.

This caused a sudden stagnation on Sampla Energy's side.

Before that, many institutions had started short selling.

Then Sampla's stock price plummeted, to the point where the leeks could no longer take care of themselves.

In the end, Smith Capital acquired Sampra Energy’s shares at a very low price.

in this incident.

Abel achieved his goal at a relatively low cost.

Abel's harvest can be regarded as the greatest.

Next are the institutions.

Institutions make money once when they go long and once when they go short.

Although there were so many people participating, only a small amount was allocated to each person.

But it’s all about making money, and institutions are the happiest.

The worst thing is leeks.

They originally wanted to make a profit on the "Financial Moses" and bet that Abel would acquire Sampra Energy at a premium.

This is one of the common perceptions of previous financial experts!

Leeks don’t know that many experts are actually dogs raised by institutions.

The leeks didn't even expect it.

The "Financial Moses" who was so well-known before actually preferred to have a positive reputation.

They are also unwilling to acquire their stocks at a premium.

In the end, their wishes came true and they suffered serious losses.

in this incident.

Abel was not without losses. What he lost was part of his fame and good reputation.

Fame refers to his fame in the stock market.

Originally, his reputation in this area was similar to that of Buffett.

It's the kind of stock he buys.

This kind of positive reputation means that all stocks will rise.

But after just this one battle, it was impossible for the leeks to trust him gullibly again.

If it were Buffett who did this once, no one would believe it in the future.

But this actually satisfied Abel even more.

Because he didn't want such fame in the first place.

After thinking about it, I know why he doesn't want it.

Abel and Buffett are different in many investments.

Buffett's investments are basically true value investments.

It's the kind where you buy it, hold it for a long time, wait for dividends, and basically never sell it again.

As for Abel's investment, except for short-term investment.

Many times, when he is in the stock market, he is thinking about mergers and acquisitions.

Short-term investment is okay, the leeks can help him get out faster and more happily.

But if it is investment in mergers and acquisitions, leeks will also rush in, which will raise the stock price.

This would create obstacles for his acquisitions.

Just like Sampra Energy this time.

Abel bought shares in the company in order to control Sempra Energy.

If the leeks follow the trend, this will inevitably drive up Sampra Energy's share price.

At this time, if Abel still wants to take control, he may even take absolute control or privatize it.

Then the money he wants to pay will definitely be much higher.

Once or twice would be fine, if only it were like this every time.

Then every time he acquires a company, he not only has to fight with the company's original shareholders and other institutions, but he even has to share the profits with the leeks every time.

Of course Abel didn't want this to happen.

So after he proposed this idea, his think tank came up with it for him.

The consequence of this is that it will directly ruin his reputation in this regard, like Buffett's.

The disadvantage is that when he buys stocks in the future, the leeks will not dare to follow suit.

But the advantage is that if Abel makes another comprehensive takeover offer in the open market in the future.

Those leeks want to take advantage of this opportunity.

We need to consider whether the "Financial Moses" is going to trick them again.

In addition to this reputation.

Another price he paid was part of his previously good social reputation among ordinary people.

This is also a suggestion given to him by the think tank.

The think tank suggested that he add some stains to his character.

In the eyes of ordinary people in American society, Abel's original character was very upright.

Pay taxes according to law, true philanthropist, super investor, super entrepreneur

The first two, any one of them in the United States, can be regarded as a halo of saints.

He made two at once.

If it weren't for the fact that he added a playboy character to himself later on.

It is estimated that many Americans are already muttering about him in their hearts.

It's kind of like Anne Hathaway.

Annie's parallel time and space was why she was later blackmailed by the entire United States.

She just "looks so good."

The above are the exact words of an ordinary person who was interviewed by a Hollywood newspaper.

So did Abel.

The character of a playboy is not dark enough.

Even in the eyes of many Americans, Playboy is not a stain at all.

He took the initiative to do this this time, and there was also an element of discrediting his own character.

In this way, many people knew about Abel.

I won't think of him as "perfect" too much.

So he is now.

It doesn't matter at all that the leeks are slandering him in various Internet forums.

This kind of smear was what he originally wanted!

Otherwise, rely on the power of 1450 Network Information Company.

He himself can suppress these voices.

It's just that Anne didn't know that these were actually directed by him.

Because of the scoldings directed at him in these niche forums, he would angrily start a scolding war with them.

On a side note, Anne's "The Princess Diaries" is getting ready for release.

The Princess Diary of a Parallel Time was released on August 3, 2001.

A princess diary in this time and space.

Because of Abel's appearance and the investment of ab Smith Entertainment.

Disney made it earlier.

And it was decided to be released on April 12th.

As the heroine, she is also the main character.

Anne Hathaway, who plays the princess, will of course attend the premiere, as well as some subsequent promotional activities.

She also took a week off from the established "Spider-Man" crew.

Starting tomorrow, she will be promoting with the crew for a week.

Fortunately, the filming of "Spider-Man" has not officially started yet.

Currently in the process of setting up and final preparations.

Filming is not expected to begin until April 20.

Tomorrow is April 12th.

Anne, who had already taken leave in advance, returned to No. 812 North Bedford Road, Beverly Hills, with Abel.

As for Abel, he came over after the Sampra Energy incident.

He came here to discuss the privatization of Sampla Energy.

According to Abel's plan, he is planning to merge Alais Energy with Sempra Energy, as well as California Pacific Electric!

The main difficulty in this work is on the California Pacific Electric side.

In Pacific Electric, he only holds 51% of the shares.

What if the three companies merged.

The other 49% of California Pacific Electric's shares will occupy a large proportion of the new company.

This was something Abel couldn't tolerate.

Because in his plan, energy is one of his troika.

The other two carriages of this troika.

One is the American Pacific Supermarket, which is still in Texas and is just a prototype.

The other carriage was still in its infancy at this time.

It's a Tesla company that doesn't even have a product yet.

According to his plan.

These three companies respectively symbolize energy, people's livelihood, and high-tech manufacturing.

Finance and media are the knights he uses to protect and support the Troika.

Finally, walking in the middle were Masaharu and himself, the groom driving the carriage.

So Abel can tolerate Smith Capital and even American Pacific Bank of Commerce having other shareholders.

We can also allow other voices in the media group.

But among the troika, he only wanted monopoly.

While gently rubbing Annie's shoulders, Abel was thinking about how to acquire the remaining shares of California Pacific Electric as soon as possible.

In fact, the easiest way is to throw money.

California Pacific Electric previously had a market value of nearly $30 billion.

Later in the Sampla Energy incident, because it was the main competitor of Sampla Energy.

Everyone thinks that if Abel gets Sampla.

California Pacific Electric will definitely have a hard time in the future.

This made California Pacific Electric investors not optimistic about it, so that the stock price fell to more than 24 billion US dollars.

Abel secretly contacted the shareholders of this company and directly purchased 51% of the shares in cash.

51% of the shares can be bought with cash, and of course the rest.

It was after experiencing the Sampla Energy incident.

If you want to buy these shares of California Pacific Electric, you will definitely need a premium.

The premium may be high. It is estimated that Abel's total cost may be more than 30 billion US dollars to obtain all of them.

Abel didn't want to spend such a large amount of money.

After thinking about it, Abel's eyes drifted to the computer Annie was playing on.

April 11, 2001, two o'clock in the afternoon.

April 11th.

September 11th!

In the end, he decided to wait another five months.

Five months later, bargain hunting in the U.S. stock market!

Thinking of this, he no longer insisted on getting his three carriages up immediately.

He is still very young and still has a lot of time to prepare and build his own perfect empire.

Abel's focus was on the lovely person in front of him.

Annie's skin is very good, she is actually a mixed race.

She is of German, French, English and Jewish descent.

It has gathered the ancestry of mainstream European and American races.

She also has perfect looks and a tall figure, as well as Xiong Da, who is not particularly big, but is not small at all.

Such good natural materials have fared so poorly in parallel time and space.

It can only be blamed on the bad nature of Americans.

Americans, or many Westerners, do not believe that there are such perfect women in the world.

Well, Abel knew that Anne wasn't that perfect either.

for example

She snores when she sleeps deeply;

The sound she made when she was too excited during yoga was a bit unpleasant, as if she was being beaten;

Her learning ability is very poor in certain aspects. She cannot always play the organ well or sing the lyrics of Chen Houzhu;

Her stamina is very poor, even worse than Scarlett who is only sixteen years old.

Scarlett can last about two hours.

Annie would have to call for help within an hour at most, but she wouldn't know anyone in two hours.

In short, Anne actually has many shortcomings.

Now, Abel looked at Annie, who was engaged in an online scolding battle, and he wanted her to sing.

But before that, she should brush up on how to play the organ.

Abel asked her to get up and he took Annie's seat.

Abel came to fight those leeks on the Internet.

Anne

Anne played the organ to him on the carpet.

Soon, the sun set in the City of Angels.

The arrival of dusk is also the most beautiful time in Los Angeles in April.

The sky in Beverly Hills is like a piece of drawing paper, allowing the magical brush of sunset to sway freely on it.

"I can't do it anymore. I can't do it anymore."

812 North Bedford Road, Beverly Hills.

The edge of the infinity pool outside the master bedroom.

The water in the pool rippled in waves.

Annie lay helplessly on top of the swimming pool, begging for mercy:

"I really can't do it anymore. Let me go, honey, please."

Abel could see that she had indeed reached her limit.

He didn't really want her to get hurt, so Abel naturally had no choice but to let her go.

Abel sat next to Anne, letting the golden sunshine of the sunset fall on himself and Anne.

While admiring the scenery of Los Angeles in the distance, he admired Annie, who was as beautiful and lazy as a golden muse next to him.

I was in a good mood, and suddenly I heard Annie whispering in a low voice:

"Honey, actually you can ask that Jessica or Charlize to come."

Abel: "!!!"

He looked sharply at Annie and found that the latter was also looking at him.

"What do you mean?" Abel said softly.

Annie's tired face pretended to be relaxed, and she smiled while lying on the edge of the pool:

"Literally. Let them come too, so I can feel more relaxed."

"In some ways, you're not human!"

"Jessica, Charlize and I" Abel wanted to explain a little.

"You want to say that you have nothing to do with them?"

"Stop joking. And don't just try to lie to me, honey."

Anne said softly: "Actually, I have seen it and guessed it a long time ago."

Abel was silent.

After a few seconds, he said, "When did you see it? How did you see it?"

"Ha~ Do you admit it? Humph!"

Anne took it easy and frowned at Abel:

"It's very early. There were speculations last year. It's confirmed this year. For example, Michael Ovitz's attitude towards us is the same, but his attitude towards other actresses is different."

"This proves that in Ovitz's heart, I have the same status as them."

“Similar to that is Robbie from MGM.”

"It's so easy to observe if you're willing."

"What's more, you don't bother to hide it yourself. Your photos are everywhere in the media."

Abel looked at Annie, and after thinking about it, he picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.

It was starting to get dark outside, and she might catch a cold without any clothes on.

"Then what are your plans?" Abel asked softly as he walked in with her in his arms.

Anne's face flashed with confusion, but she soon became determined.

"What else can I do?"

"I tried to stay away from you. But I found that it was impossible unless I was willing to disappear."

"The entire United States is full of your shadow. As long as you don't let me go, it's useless what I do."

Anne stretched out her hands and took the initiative to hug him:

"In that case, I might as well just be your mistress!"

The word mistress is a bit harsh.

But in Abel's heart, Anne really is this position.

Just because of his preferences before rebirth, Anne's status in his heart will be slightly more important than others.

"Being your mistress. I can enjoy things that I would never have been able to enjoy in my life."

"And the look from you."

"From your protection."

"I think that's enough."

At this time, Annie had been carried onto Simmons by Abel.

But she refused to let go.

"Honey, have me again."

she says.

"I love that feeling!"

The atmosphere is good.

Lien Zhan five scumbag Annie,

She couldn't help but want to challenge her own limits.

I'll write the rest tomorrow, I'm too sleepy.
