America's Road to Wealth

In sunny California, whether it is a little salty sea breeze or warm sunshine, every Californian looks relaxed and leisurely, which is the normal state of California.

woof woof

Plop——

Beverly Hills, 812 North Bedford Road.

In the infinity pool.

Abel took two half-sized Rottweilers and jumped into the clear swimming pool.

These two Rottweilers were last Christmas.

Abel brought out Denise's two children from the farm kennel at home.

A super rich man like him certainly doesn't have much time to keep a dog.

The two little Rottweilers, who were only one month old at the time, were kept by Abel's side by a senior dog trainer.

Abel will look at them when he is free.

This time I came to California from New York, and they were also brought here.

Previously, they had reached the tail-docking period of Rottweilers and needed to start docking their tails, so they were placed in a pet hospital.

As the name suggests, the tail docking of Rottweilers is to cut off their original long tails.

Because Rottweilers are mostly used as working dogs, there is very little chance of using their tails for activities.

Tails that are too long at work are prone to injury and infection.

During the battle, in order to cultivate its combat effectiveness and prevent it from submitting to others, it will dock its tail.

In fact, humans think that Rottweilers with docked tails look better.

Coupled with little impact on their bodies, it has become a tradition for raised Rottweilers.

At this time, they are already five months old, and they are already half-sized dogs, and their size is growing rapidly.

Abel had already named them.

One is called Marvel and the other is called DreamWorks.

It is the name of two companies owned by Abel.

Call your dog after the company name, or call the company after the dog.

In Chinese culture, this is somewhat insulting.

But in European and American culture, there is not much derogatory meaning.

Although eating dog meat is allowed in many places in the United States, many people also eat dog meat.

But that doesn't stop more Americans from considering dogs as their family companions.

In this way, in the traditional culture of Europe and America.

The status of dogs in Europe and America is slightly higher than those in China.

In other words, Abel gave his dog the name of the company, which will not appear particularly abrupt here, and there is not much derogatory meaning.

Besides, both companies are his companies.

Even if there is a derogatory meaning, it is he himself belittling his company.

It's useless for others to say.

Abel's two five-month-old Rottweilers already look strong.

There are professional dog trainers who have been training, and they have begun to learn to guard the house, defend and attack.

"Dreamworks, you bastard, don't bully Marvel. Haha, help me, I'm drowning, stupid dog, why are you running, let you save me."

At the edge of the swimming pool, the captain of the bodyguard with two guns stuck in his waist helplessly raised his forehead.

Edward sometimes felt that the boss was cold like a real capitalist.

Sometimes indecisive like a boy.

Sometimes like a nagging old father.

Sometimes. Like now, like a naive little boy.

Edward didn't know which was Abel's true face.

The old Texan, all he knew was that Abel was good to the Sefolozas.

Be nice to him, be nice to his two kids.

That was enough for Edward.

"Marvel, you idiot, you have grown so much meat for nothing. Idiot, don't show your belly. You are a bulldog, a bulldog, not a husky!"

Abel sat by the pool, holding Marvel's head with his arms, and kept counting.

Watching Marvel lying on the ground playing a rogue, with his forelimbs bent and his belly showing, he wanted Abel to touch him.

DreamWorks grabbed the edge of the swimming pool from the water, jumped ashore, then frantically flicked the water droplets on Abel's body, splashed all over Abel, walked to the other side, and began to lick Abel's cheek.

Abel stretched out his hand and touched its head. DreamWorks looked enjoying it, and lay down on its stomach, sticking its head on the marble edge of the swimming pool.

At this time, the black bodyguard Lincoln walked up to Edward and said a few words to Edward.

Edward nodded, and the captain of the bodyguard walked towards Abel.

The two Rottweilers who were having fun beside Abel.

Sensing the sound of footsteps approaching, they immediately turned over, lowered their bodies, and looked at Edward approaching with threatening eyes, already in an attacking state.

Fortunately, it was Edward who came over, and Edward also fed them.

The two puppies whined, and Abel smiled and grabbed their necks with both hands.

You get what you pay for, and the Rottweiler fruit raised by a dog trainer who spends more than 10,000 dollars a month is really effective.

Abel knew that at this time, he only needed to issue an attack command.

These two Rottweilers will definitely rush over.

Edward also knew that when he stood about two meters in front of the boss, he opened his mouth and said, "Boss, Harvey Weinstein is here."

"Oh?" Abel stroked the two half-sized dogs, and then he said, "Then let him come over."

"Okay." Edward nodded.

At the entrance of the villa.

One of the famous independent filmmakers in Hollywood.

One of the founders of Miramax Corporation.

One of the biggest names in Hollywood.

Harvey Weinstein, a broad, fat man, walked into this luxurious villa.

At this moment, Harvey Weinstein was a little agitated.

Fatty didn't expect that one day, he would attract the attention of such a big man.

To be honest, before this, the highest-level existence that Harvey Weinstein had personally seen was just the CEO or general manager of several Hollywood giants.

Michael Eisner, like Disney, is already considered the biggest big shot Harvey Weinstein has ever seen.

But Harvey Weinstein knew the young man he was going to meet later.

The ecological niche in Hollywood is much higher than that of Michael Eisner.

If you count the ecological niche in the entire American society.

That's even better than Michael Eisner, I don't know how much higher it is.

Harvey Weinstein couldn't figure out why he wanted to see himself.

But after confirming that this is not a joke, but true.

This fat man, who is famous in Hollywood, hurried over immediately.

Harvey Weinstein was a very informed man.

Fatty knows who to mess with and who he can't mess with.

It is obvious that anyone in this villa is an existence that he cannot mess with.

Therefore, throughout the entire process of entering the villa, Harvey Weinstein did not turn his eyes at all.

The fat man only stared at the back of the bodyguard leading the way, and was led by the bodyguard to an infinity swimming pool.

Harvey Weinstein also caught sight of the half-naked man playing in the pool with two small Rottweilers.

After the opponent waved his hand to call.

Harvey Weinstein was respectful, and the fat man, accompanied by two bodyguards, came in front of Abel Smith.

"Mr. Smith, good morning." Harvey Weinstein greeted respectfully.

"Good morning. Mr. Weinstein."

The fat man heard the young man's voice, which was gentle and magnetic.

"Mr. Weinstein, someone invited you here because they wanted to discuss something with you."

Harvey Weinstein quickly said, "Mr. Smith, please tell me."

"I want to set up a copyright company. The goal of this company is to acquire as many valuable IP copyrights as possible around the world."

"But I have never been able to find a suitable general manager for this company."

"My advisory group recommended you to me. They said that you have excellent abilities in the copyright and entertainment industry."

"So I would like to extend an invitation to you, hoping that you can come to this company to work for me."

Abel was not lying when he said these things to Harvey Weinstein.

The reason why Abel approached Harvey Weinstein was really the suggestion of the advisory group.

In fact, Abel had already thought about the copyright company.

It is because it is not particularly important, and the weight ratio in Abel's mind is not large enough.

This time in Los Angeles, he just remembered.

Abel spoke to his advisory group, and the advisory group immediately outlined a plan for him.

Even the leader of the copyright company listed several for Abel.

It has Harvey Weinstein's name in it.

Among several shortlists, Abe picked Harvey Weinstein at once.

Without him, Abel just remembered that before this fat man had an accident, this fat man was able to earn such a large amount of influence in Hollywood from scratch with his own working ability.

Fatty's personal morality is not considered, it is only in terms of ability.

This fat man is undoubtedly very suitable to be the general manager of the copyright company.

Again.

Abel felt that what Harvey Weinstein did to women, he did it for so many years without incident.

Wait until 2017 to have an accident.

That can only prove one thing.

That is, after 2017, this fat man may offend someone who cannot afford to offend, or Harvey Weinstein has begun to fail to give those women what they want.

In the end, things will be revealed, and then you will be ruined and imprisoned.

Because as far as Abel knows, there are not a thousand people in Hollywood who do the same thing as Harvey, at least a hundred or so.

Like Michael Ovitz, this guy is actually an enhanced version of Harvey Weinstein.

It's just that Ovitz doesn't enjoy it himself, he only acts as a senior pimp.

People like Harvey Weinstein.

In the modeling and entertainment circles all over the world, it is really too common.

This kind of thing is actually easy to understand.

For example, there is a female role, and currently there are three actresses who are all suitable.

The company background behind them is similar.

Characters who can determine the ownership of the characters.

Among these three actresses, of course, only the one that suits me best will be chosen.

Which one is most desirable?

Of course the most obedient one.

Otherwise, the three of them have the same conditions, why should the big man pick you?

The probability of something like Mary Sue happening in reality is extremely low.

this kind of deal.

In Hollywood and the world of modeling, it's not even an unspoken rule anymore.

It is the rule.

The kind that is on the surface.

Harvey Weinstein was wrong. He didn't fulfill his responsibilities later and let an actress report him.

Coupled with Fatty's own influence and ability, he couldn't hide it.

In the end, the incident could only be revealed, and Lin Dang was imprisoned.

In fact, strictly speaking, Abel has committed much more serious crimes than Harvey Weinstein in this regard.

Like Liv at the beginning, and Scarlett, and Charlize.

And those angels in Elizabeth's back garden.

In other words, Abel is more capable, richer, and even more generous while Abel himself is good-looking.

This made them later feel that this kind of thing is actually a disadvantage for Abel, not for them.

That's why they became more and more happy with Abel.

But if one day, Abel loses all his wealth, he also loses all his power and influence.

The fate of Harvey Weinstein in that parallel time and space will most likely be his fate.

The difference is Abel's looks and build.

It would make those women less likely to hold him accountable.

Knowing this situation, Abel was willing to use Harvey Weinstein.

As long as the fat man can help him do good things, then other problems are just small problems.

The premise is that Fatty, like everyone else, knows how to behave.

Otherwise, Abel has a thousand ways to make the fat man regret his life.

At this time, he faced the invitation of Abel, the legendary big man.

Harvey Weinstein was at war with man.

Fatty was reluctant to part with his position in Miramax.

Even though Miramax has been acquired by Disney, he and his brother are still big names in Miramax.

But Harvey Weinstein on the other hand did not dare to directly refuse Abel's request.

When this gentleman gets angry, even the Manhattan District Attorney dares to mess with him.

And the granddaughter of the Manhattan District Attorney who ended up dating him.

Harvey didn't feel like he had the power of the Manhattan district attorney.

After hesitating for a few seconds, he watched Abel staring at him.

Especially beside Abel, there are two half-sized Rottweilers who look very fierce at this time.

They stared at the fat man covetously, making the fat man think that as long as Abel let go. In the next moment, they will charge fiercely and tear themselves to pieces.

Harvey was ruthless, made up his mind, and said:

"Good! I agree to your invitation, Mr. Smith! But in terms of salary"

"I will give you twice your current annual salary at Miramax. At the same time, for the copyrights acquired in your hands, 1% of their subsequent profits will belong to you." Abel said.

Harvey Weinstein was terrified of Abel's identity and ability, and was intimidated.

But Harvey Weinstein was less afraid when it came to the fat man's own interests.

"1% is too little. Mr. Smith, I think 4% would be a good number."

"2%, this is my bottom line."

"Okay, just 2%!" Harvey Weinstein persuaded immediately, and immediately accepted the condition.

"Then it's settled." Abel said with a smile.

Looking at Abel, who smiled brightly and looked better than most Hollywood male stars.

In Harvey Weinstein's heart, he also made complaints like many Hollywood bigwigs after seeing Abel's appearance with his own eyes——

He is so handsome and tall, even in the entertainment industry, he can have a good meal.

After talking business with Harvey Weinstein, Abel was in no mood to hang out with Fatty anymore.

Abel waved his hand and called another member of the advisory team.

A middle-aged man named George Williams was a former CPA for PricewaterhouseCoopers.

"George, I would like to trouble you to sign a professional contract with this Mr. Weinstein. At the same time, the structure of the new company is also in charge of the two of you."

"By the way, the name of the copyright company is."

Abel looked at the two half-sized Rottweilers beside him, and said with a smile:

"The name of the new company should be Rottweiler, and the company's icon and image will use the appearance of my two Rottweilers."

"I hope that in the field of IP copyright in the future, this new company can capture copyright for my nursing home like them."

In the end, Abel said: "For the initial capital of the Rottweiler company, let's give it 200 million U.S. dollars for the time being."

His last words left the fat man Harvey Weinstein speechless.

A new company, nothing yet. The initial capital was US$200 million, and Miramax has been in business for more than ten years, and it has been acquired by Disney for several years.

There had never been two hundred million dollars in Miramax's account.

At this moment, Harvey Weinstein is also the same as the management of other media companies under Abel.

I experienced the feeling of not bad money that is rare in the industry.

It also let Harvey Weinstein know why the management of MGM is now the most envied and hated group of executives of all entertainment companies in Hollywood.

Such a generous boss.

It would be strange if you were not envious.

Harvey Weinstein said goodbye to Abel respectfully, and happily followed George Williams to leave.

As soon as the fat man left, Abel waved his hand and called Edward over.

"Hey, I'm a little worried about this fat man." Abel said, "Put one or two people by his side to monitor him at all times, understand?"

Edward thought to himself, don't worry, it's fine if you don't need this fat man?

But it's just thinking about it in my heart.

In action, Edward never questioned or disobeyed any of Abel's decisions.

Edward nodded: "Understood, I will arrange it now."

Fortunately, after Rock Security moved to Texas, more and more people were recruited, and all aspects became more and more professional.

Otherwise, it would be really difficult to let a security company do this kind of surveillance and espionage.

When Edward went to call to explain things, Abel lost interest in swimming.

He had the master dog trainer called over and had the two Rottweilers taken care of.

Abel himself went back to the bedroom and changed into a set of clean clothes.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, Abel's motorcade left 812 North Bedford Road in Beverly Hills.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon, Abel's figure appeared in Palo Alto, San Francisco Bay Area, California.

In the northwest suburb of Palo Alto, the headquarters and R\u0026D bases of Tesla New Energy and Google are located here.

As soon as the convoy arrived, Abel naturally went first to Tesla, his son in his heart.

In Tesla's top-secret scientific research shed.

Abel saw a car with a full sense of technology, which already looked like a future new energy vehicle.

Beside Abel stood the CEO of Tesla, Jack St Cage, and the chief technology officer, Professor Hans.

Looking at the electric car, which already looks a bit like a funeral, Abel asked with interest: "Is this the prototype? Can it move?"

Jack St Cage said with a smile: "Let's let our chief technology officer answer the technical questions."

Professor Hans did his part, the old professor smiled and said: "No problem, dear Mr. Smith, how about I introduce our prototype to you?"

"good."

Abel said succinctly.

Thanks for the reward from Mr. Q! The first leader in this book is not easy, the leader is finally not empty.

At the same time, I would also like to thank Mr. Yi X, Mr. TT, Mr. Jiong, Mr. Prince, Mr. Wild Boar and so on.

In short, thank you for all the rewards, monthly votes, and recommendation votes. The most important thing is the big guys who made the full decision. Thank you! ! !
