America's Road to Wealth

Abel's arrival is obviously a big event for the "Spider-Man" crew.

This is just like Michael Eisner, the chairman and CEO of Disney, no matter which Disney crew he joins, he is bound to be extremely valued by the crew.

After all, the status is there.

As the boss of MGM, Abel came to the movies invested by MGM.

So here he is, of course the biggest one.

Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire after his candid moment with Anne Hathaway.

The two of them, along with the producer and other important crew members, all came to Abel obediently, looking very quiet.

After saying hello.

Abel observed carefully and found that Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire seemed to have a slight similarity in appearance.

Especially at this time, Tobey Maguire is wearing Parker's makeup in "Spider-Man", which is the American version of an honest man.

This made the two of them feel more like brothers.

But the two people have nothing to do with each other, they really just look alike.

The kind of appearance that matches the honest European and American Caucasian people.

This made Abel couldn't help but look at it a few more times.

Abel's niche in this circle is too high.

When he arrived, neither Tobey Maguire nor Sam Raimi dared to speak.

Only when Abel took the initiative to chat with them did they dare to respond.

"It shouldn't be difficult to shoot, right?"

"Oh, if you have any difficulties, just tell me directly."

"Well, when we go to Manhattan to film, you can ask Annie to find me."

"Well, that's right. As long as the box office is good, then everyone can get the share you should get, or get an extra share."

"."

Basically, it was Abel doing the talking, and Sam Raimi, Tobey Maguire, and the producers were obedient.

Abel also found it boring.

He also knows that with his current status, even the biggest Hollywood celebrities can do it.

Right now, in front of me, he is probably just a little better than Tobey Maguire and Sam Raimi.

Just like Lao Ma later made a movie "The Way of Attack and Defense".

I didn't even spend much money on this movie.

But almost all the well-known Chinese stars were gathered together.

She received almost zero pay for starring in this film that made Lao Ma addicted to kung fu and martial arts.

During the filming, Lao Ma, a three-legged cat and a layman, really beat the actor to the point of pain. The actor did not dare to say anything and gritted his teeth to finish the filming.

It was the time when Lao Ma was most energetic.

The same goes for Abel.

What's more, Abel is different from Lao Ma. Lao Ma can only be named the richest man, and Alibaba Pictures is only responsible for investment.

On Abel's side, he has one of the real industry giants, the boss of MGM.

Those superstars and celebrities who stand above the rest and shine in the eyes of fans and moviegoers.

In front of him, he was as helpless as the Chinese star players who were hung up and beaten by the old horse in "The Road of Attack and Defense".

While chatting, Abel himself found it boring.

He was just bored at noon today and came here to visit the class. If you're curious about how Hollywood makes movies, stop by and take a look.

After thinking for a while, he said:

"Sam, right? Don't let my arrival affect the progress of the movie. You can continue shooting, I will just watch from the side."

The big boss has spoken.

Sam Raimi also breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called the crew and actors to continue filming.

It had been half an hour since Abel arrived, after the initial excitement of the crew and staff had passed.

At the request of the director and rock security personnel, filming also began.

Abel, accompanied by Anne and producer Peter Passey, watched Tobey Maguire's performance.

Tobey Maguire is under a lot of pressure, probably because he's here.

During the filming process, Toby rang again and again.

Abel laughed, and after confirming that Annie had no further filming assignments, he took her away directly and stopped disturbing the crew.

It was already past four in the afternoon when we left the crew.

The two found a higher-end restaurant in Queens and had a sweet dinner together.

After dinner, we returned to Manhattan.

I happened to hit the evening rush hour when I returned to the city, and I was stuck in traffic for more than an hour before returning to the Carnegie Hill Building.

As soon as she got home, Annie couldn't help herself and wanted to take a shower.

In the living room, Abel turned on the TV and flipped through the channels out of boredom.

The focus was still on watching AMC TV. He found that the reality show he asked Richard Plepler to find Bear Grylls to film already had a trailer.

The name of this reality show is "Survival in the Wilderness".

Bell, who is far younger, more handsome, and more energetic than in parallel time and space, began his famous career under the influence of Abel.

Abel no longer remembers where Bei went in the first episode of "Survival in the Wild" in the first season.

Anyway, in the first episode of the first season of the AMC TV version of "Into the Wild", the destination is the wilderness of Las Vegas.

But it’s just a trailer for now. Abel watched it and it won’t be until the 1st of next month.

That is to say, it will not be officially launched until June 1, 2001.

Abel, who loved watching wilderness survival programs in his previous life, thought about it and prepared to call Richard Plepler.

The big boss of AMC TV station wants to watch the younger Mr. Pei's performance in advance.

But after looking through his cell phone, he found that there was no Richard Plepler's number on his No. 2 cell phone.

It only took one phone call to get Richard Plepler's phone number, and even the AMC TV station manager came over in person right away.

But he couldn't find Richard Plepler's mobile phone number at the first time, and Abel, who was temporarily interested, gave up the plan.

Just at this time, Annie came out of the bedroom.

He also put down his cell phone.

Annie has already taken a bath.

She wore a very sexy mesh lace suspender nightgown, a white semi-sheer nightgown with the hem just reaching her hips. Her white and smooth arms and slender legs were completely exposed to the air.

Because she had just taken a shower, her skin was extremely white, tender and moist, and she looked almost breakable.

Water drops were still dripping from her wet hair, dripping on her clothes, and the wonderful scenery was looming in the white nightgown.

Seeing Abel staring at her, his eyes full of possessiveness, as if he wanted to eat him, Annie's pretty face turned red and she chuckled: "What are you looking at? He wants to eat someone!"

"No, I want you to eat it." Abel said.

Anne was stunned for a moment, then blushed and became angry.

After more than a year of dating, she has become an expert in this field.

Old Siji Anne understood it as soon as she heard it.

"Aha~ Then I'm here to eat~" She jumped up and lay on Abel.

Abel hugged her tightly, and his hands naturally went to where they should go.

Having said that, Abel "admires" the male protagonists in those novels who are able to remain calm in their arms while holding a beautiful girl who wants everything she wants.

He doesn't have the same skills as a eunuch.

However, it seems that eunuchs also like women, otherwise why would there be such a word as "sexual intercourse"?

Even eunuchs know how to find the right food.

What's more, he is a normal man who is healthier than ordinary people.

He grabbed Anne's round, smooth shoulders.

Another wonderful evening.

The next morning.

Smith Building,

Trading room on the fourth floor.

David Mellon accompanied Abel as he walked among the traders.

The current USD/NOK price is still between 7.6050-7.6100.

"The Neon Man has added some more chips."

David Mellon said while sipping his coffee:

"But I suspect that a third party has already entered the market, but the other party is very cautious and the speed of opening positions is very slow, so we can't find it for a while."

After a day of betting, Smith Capital and Neon Man were on the betting board, and the combined funds between the two parties exceeded about five billion U.S. dollars.

The two sides of the bet caused the USD/NOK exchange rate to fluctuate very frequently overnight.

This kind of fluctuation has long attracted the attention of global investors.

Especially the large number of retail investors with average strength.

This can be seen from the sharp increase in the number of USD/NOK transactions in the past 24 hours.

"Normal situation." Abel said softly:

"I suspect that at this time, the entire Wall Street and the City of London are staring at our bet."

David also nodded, thinking what his boss said made sense.

This is like when Soros attacked the British pound in 1991.

There were also a large number of onlookers around.

"So what should we do now?" David asked his boss.

Abel said: "Didn't I say it yesterday? The new 100,000 lots are about 10,000 lots per day, and it takes ten days to open a position."

David was stunned. Is it that simple?

David was unsure, but he believed in Abel's arrangement and nodded immediately.

"alright."

Go around and make sure the situation is normal.

Abel left Smith Building.

noon.

Manhattan, Union Square.

Union Square is a large square in Manhattan. Connecting Fifth Avenue and Broadway near 14th Street.

Nearby are well-known universities such as New York University and Parsons School of Design, as well as weekend markets and chain stores of major brands.

This is the equivalent of a college town in Manhattan.

It’s just that land in Manhattan is too expensive, and there are not many schools that can operate here.

Each campus is smaller than the other.

New York University's Manhattan campus is already the largest campus on Manhattan Island.

On the north side of Houston Street, in a restaurant called Brandy, Abel was waiting for someone.

A while later, around half past twelve.

The door of the restaurant was pushed open, and two slim girls were just looking around at the door.

Duoni, the female bodyguard captain next to Abel, approached and said, "Miss Bush, the BOSS is over here."

"Oh, it's you. Tony, please," little Laura said with a smile.

"You're welcome." Tony took a few more curious glances at the Asian girl behind little Laura.

Tony felt that this Asian girl's figure was not "Asian" enough.

Ordinary Asian girls are never as big as this.

Under the leadership of Dorni, little Laura and her female companion turned around the corridor and came to the innermost seat of the Brandy Restaurant.

Little Laura noticed, in front of the table where Abel was sitting.

Marcus, her security team leader, and Edward, Abel's bodyguard captain, were nodding at her.

Little Laura knew that this meant that she and Abel were accepting their protection.

She smiled kindly at the two captains, took her female companion's hand and walked towards Abel.

"Hi~ dear, good afternoon." Little Laura greeted happily.

Abel smiled: "Good afternoon."

While he was responding to little Laura, he looked at little Laura's female companion curiously, just like Tony.

Seeing the figure of this Asian girl, Abel also felt the same way Tony did just now.

That's the body shape of this Asian girl, not Asian at all.

That is no longer Xiong Da or Xiong Er.

Those are already headlights.

Abel and little Laura had an appointment in the morning. During the lunch break, we had lunch together outside the NYU Manhattan campus.

Later, around noon, little Laura called him and said she would bring a female friend she met at school over.

Of course Abel would not refuse. He came over to the restaurant to wait.

I just didn’t expect that the female friend little Laura met in school would be an Asian girl.

He thought it would be some blue-blooded lady, the daughter of a rich Mayflower man.

Little Laura took the Asian girl who looked a little cautious and sat down opposite Abel.

After sitting down, she smiled and introduced her female companion to Abel.

"This is a friend I met in school. Her name is Jessica. Oh, this is her English name. I can't pronounce her native name very well. Is it Li Xinyu?"

The Asian girl named Jessica in English couldn't help but correct her: "It's not Li Xin Yu, Lauren, your pronunciation is wrong. It's "Li Xin Yu"."

"Is there any difference?" said little Laura.

"Uh, forget it, just call me Jessica." The Asian girl looked at Abel with a smile:

"Mr. Smith, I'm Jessica Lee. Nice to meet you. Lauren has mentioned your name in front of me many times."

Look at this innocent and beautiful Asian girl holding a headlight.

Abel suddenly said in standard Chinese Mandarin:

"Your name is Li Xinyu? Li Xinyu?"

He blurted out very natural Mandarin, which made little Laura and Jessica stunned.

Little Laura: "Dear, what language are you speaking? It seems like... I seem to have heard it somewhere, but I forgot what language it is."

"It seems to be Chinese? The language of China." Jessica said:

"But I'm sorry, Mr. Smith, I'm not Chinese. I'm from Han. Sorry, I can't understand Chinese."

"Oh, stick." Abel muttered in Chinese.

Just now he thought this Jessica was Chinese, or Chinese.

Only then can they say greetings in Mandarin.

I didn’t expect it to be a stick, but also a very beautiful headlight.

"My dear, you speak Chinese." Little Laura was surprised: "I didn't expect you speak Chinese so well!"

Abel smiled and talked nonsense:

"I studied fine arts in college. There was a time when I was very obsessed with Chinese ink paintings and traditional Chinese paintings. I found a teacher from Huaxia and learned Chinese by the way."

The first half of these words is true.

Abel's predecessor actually learned Chinese ink painting techniques and also found Chinese teachers in related fields.

Even when studying and teaching, the two of them actually use English.

Unless he finds the teacher and confronts him, no one will doubt what he said.

After all, who would have thought that there would be such an outrageous thing as another soul in the body of an orthodox Mayflower Ansa?

"alright."

Abel smiled and said:

"You probably have classes in the afternoon, right? Let's eat first. You'll have to go back after dinner."

Both girls nodded in agreement.

There was already Duoni, a temporary waiter, delivering the restaurant's menu.

The theme of this brandy restaurant is Nordic flavor, Nordic cuisine.

Seafood and meat are all served with very fresh forest ingredients.

Little Laura actually picked the restaurant, and she and Jessica had already eaten there.

While ordering, little Laura also introduced to Abel:

"Although it is Nordic-style food, the taste is not as light as expected. I personally think it is very memorable. My favorite is grilled cod with fresh seasonal peas. The taste is very layered."

Abel smiled and nodded, "Then order me the same set as yours."

Little Laura smiled sweetly at him.

The two girls lowered their heads and began to order.

Abel's eyes lingered on them for a moment, and then he looked out the window.

Abel noticed that there was a Secret Service employee protecting little Laura outside, talking to two Asian men in suits.

The eyes of the two Asian men in suits drifted towards this table from time to time.

This made Abel frown.

On the table in front, Edward, who had been observing his expression, noticed his eyes.

Edward immediately looked at where Abel was looking, and then asked Marcus next to him:

"Marcus. What's going on with the two people talking to your men outside?"

Marcus looked over, turned back to Edward and said:

"Those two Asians are Miss Jessica's bodyguards. Her family is very powerful in Han State, and she also has a team of bodyguard assistants around her."

"Oh." Edward nodded, planning to tell Abel later.

On Abel's side, little Laura and Jessica had already ordered their meals.

Little Laura ordered grilled cod with fresh seasonal peas, two portions, one for each of herself and Abel.

Fortunately, little Laura also knew that such a small amount of food would not be enough for Abel.

She had seen Abel's exaggerated appetite, so she ordered a lot of Nordic-style barbecue and meat.

For example, Swedish venison meatballs, Icelandic-style roasted leg of lamb, Nordic-style cinnamon rolls, and so on.

Jessica was surprised how little Laura could order so much. She herself also ordered a grilled cod with fresh seasonal peas and a creamy fish soup.

After ordering, everyone started chatting again.

Mainly little Laura was talking, Jessica occasionally responded, Abel listened with a smile, and occasionally asked questions.

"Who would have thought that Jessica looks so weak and pure, but her favorite thing is racing!!"

"A racing car, that's a racing car!"

As little Laura talked, the topic turned to her and Jessica.

We talked about how the two met and got to know each other, and finally talked about Jessica’s hobbies.

"You still talk about me" Jessica looks pure and weak, and her personality does not seem to be very weak.

She also exposed little Laura's information: "Aren't you the same? Lauren, you also like racing."

"Uh" Little Laura pulled Jessica under the table and told her not to say anything.

But Jessica was exposed a lot of information by her, and now she knew that Abel in front of her was little Laura's boyfriend again.

She ignored little Laura’s hint and continued:

"You also said that you started driving at the age of twelve, which scared your parents. You also said that you went to the Indianapolis Motor Speedway to watch F1 last year. You also said that your dream is to drive F1."

"You still say it! It hurts! Let it go, let it go, I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore."

"Stop talking." Little Laura gritted her teeth and gave Jessica a hard blow. Jessica was so painful that she swallowed the next words and screamed out. Then she fought back not to be outdone.

The two girls laughed a little, and little Laura looked up at her boyfriend's eyes full of meaning, and finally stopped in embarrassment.

Jessica also felt that this was a bit rude, so she blushed and became quiet.

"I've never heard of you having such a hobby."

Abel suddenly said leisurely: "If that's the case, maybe I need to consider adding a racing track for you in Laurentian Flower?"

Little Laura smiled coquettishly, and just then the guest waiters, such as Tony and others, began to serve the dishes.

Little Laura said quickly: "Ah, stop talking about this, I'm hungry. Hurry up and eat. My dear, try this grilled cod with fresh seasonal peas. It's really delicious!"

Abel gave her a look that would settle the score with you later, took the food she pushed over with a smile, and started eating.
