America's Road to Wealth

After losing his temper, Abel felt much better.

This made his face less ugly when he met Anna Wintour, the American editor-in-chief of "VOGUE" later.

Anna Wintour is a big deal in the fashion industry.

She is the editor-in-chief of the American edition of Vogue magazine.

At the same time, this fifty-one-year-old woman is the prototype of a movie that has not yet appeared, "The Devil Wears Prada" (The Devil Wears Fashion).

The bragging British people even called this British-American woman the "unofficial mayor of New York."

When Abel comes.

He saw all his Isha Angels, all surrounding Anna Wintour.

Each one of them looked excited, like a star-chasing fan meeting their idol.

This made Abel realize the status of Anna Wintour, an old woman, in the fashion circle.

He curled his lips slightly, and the idea of ​​acquiring "VOGUE" magazine came to his mind again.

In other words, "VOGUE" magazine is really difficult to acquire.

Otherwise, based on today's scene, he would probably take action right away based on his temper.

After seeing his arrival, the Isa angels still turned some of their attention to him.

It was at this time that the reporters of "VOGUE" were all around me, so it was very obvious that I was not doing well.

Several photographers, editors, and reporters from "VOGUE" magazine also met Abel immediately.

And the sudden change in the face of our editor-in-chief, Anna Wintour.

It turns out that Anna Wintour has always had a very high attitude in front of Isa Angels and didn't even show her teeth when she smiled.

After seeing Abel surrounded by crowds.

The female devil's eyes were blurred at this moment. When Abel came, she couldn't help but move closer.

".Oh my God, my Lord, my Lord."

"Look what I see in the human world?"

Anna Wintour used an aria-like voice, stared at Abel, and babbled:

"Oh, I saw Apollo in the human world. I saw the resurrected King David. I saw Daphnis, Narcissus, and Don Juan walking~ Oh, this is really incredible!"

In the eyes of outsiders, Anna Wintour after meeting Abel.

The supreme female devil in the fashion circle showed unprecedented initiative in front of Abel.

She came close to Abel and gently rotated around him, uttering various exclamations as she walked.

It looks like a treasure hunter who has discovered a rare treasure.

This scene made the surrounding Isa Angels, as well as "VOGUE"'s own reporters, both shocked and envious.

Because there are not many models who can be valued by Anna Wintour.

Abel was the first man that she valued to this extent.

Including models, many people in the fashion industry.

At this moment, they all felt that they would not be surprised if Anna Wintour asked Abel to be her "male muse."

But Abel's side.

Abel frowned slightly when Anna Wintour stared at him like this. He was not used to it.

Anna Wintour walked around Abel, and finally came to stand in front of Abel, looking up at Abel:

"Are you Mr. Smith?"

Abel nodded and said to her: "Ms. Anna Wintour?"

"Yes." Anna Wintour smiled: "Anna Wintour is me."

Abel looked at the old woman and then around.

He discovered that everyone, including himself, had two completely different attitudes towards Anna Wintour's performance.

Like him and his entourage, namely Edward and David, and his bodyguards.

They all look a little disapproving of Anna Wintour.

She looked even more disgusted with Abel's strange appearance and behavior after she saw him.

In fact, this is probably a normal reaction from people who are obsessed with fashion.

But the surroundings include twenty-five Isha angels.

There are also the staff of "VOGUE" magazine and the employees of Isa Company who came here to help today.

They were all not surprised by Anna Wintour's behavior, and many even cast envious glances at Abel.

Abel didn't even know what they envied him for.

Are you envious that Anna Wintour said these crazy things to you?

At this moment, Abel just wanted to make a quick decision, finish the interview with "VOGUE" magazine as soon as possible, and go back to deal with the paparazzi reporters who were becoming more and more unhappy with him.

Abel tried to sound as less irritated as possible.

He said to Anna Wintour:

"Ms. Wintour, now that I'm here, I think the interview with "VOGUE" can begin, right?"

"Of course~" Anna Wintour smiled, but still looked at him with a look that was fascinated by Abel.

Fortunately, this look is obviously not the look between men and women.

It’s the kind of expression a good chef would have when he sees good ingredients, or a person who likes drinking would have a look when he sees good wine.

If it were the former, Abel would definitely turn around and leave, and then cause trouble for "VOGUE" afterwards.

Under the arrangement of Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of the magazine.

"VOGUE" magazine's interview with Isha Angels and Abel began in an orderly manner.

The content of the interview was very simple, and the interview questions had already been checked by Abel.

What cannot be asked and what can be asked, what can be answered and what cannot be answered.

I have practiced it for a long time.

Even "VOGUE", the biggest brand in the fashion industry, has no effect when faced with super rich people like Abel.

Magazines like "VOGUE" only have the highest status in the fashion and entertainment circles.

Ask them to interview billionaires. Unless they are interested in fashion and entertainment, most of them will ignore them.

The super holy book of the fashion world, the "fashion" prefix in front of it has limited its greatest dominance to that small circle.

After the interview, it was time to take photos. When taking photos, Abel felt that the photographers of "VOGUE" were really professional.

Compared with the photographers of my own newspaper, their skills are at least several levels better.

Some of the later photos that were taken to show him the effects made Abel look a little unrecognizable to him.

In some of them, Abel felt that he really looked like Apollo on earth, so sunny and handsome.

And the so-called devil Anna Wintour was by her side the whole time——

"Oh, Apollo~", "Oh, how much he looks like Narcissus~", "He, he is the living Don Juan~"

Weird things like that.

A lot of Abel couldn't understand it, but he knew that the old woman was praising him.

This can be inferred from the performance of the surrounding fashion circles, including the Isha Angels.

Originally, Abel planned to have a good time here after the interview was over before leaving.

But Anna Wintour's performance made him feel weird and a bit intolerable.

After the photo interview was over, he left immediately.

Wait until Abel and his men leave.

Next to Anna Wintour, a woman slightly younger than her walked over.

This woman is the reporter and editor of "VOGUE" magazine who was responsible for asking Abel the question just now.

This female reporter and editor looks to be about forty years old, a little younger than Anna Wintour.

".Miss."

Looking in the distance, the Elizabeth Angels are being photographed by professional photographers from "VOGUE" magazine.

The female editor said softly:

"Obviously, this gentleman has not done anything because of your special regard and special favor."

At this time, if Abel is still here.

Or if anyone else saw Anna Wintour, the look on her face at this moment.

You will notice the expression on Anna Wintour's face at this moment.

It was completely different from the way she looked at Abel just now, as if she were seeing a rare treasure.

"Hahaha" Anna Wintour smiled softly, "Angelina, this is normal. Such a super rich man can achieve such success at such a young age. This proves that he himself is He is not an ordinary person. How could such a heroic figure make a judgment that is below his level so easily just because of my "addiction"."

Female reporter Angelina nodded, "I still think you don't need to do this. You are Anna Wintour, you are the unique devil in the fashion industry, and you should not bow to anyone, even the super capitalists. Same thing."

"Angelina. I don't want to either." Anna Wintour said:

"But it's really hard for me to tolerate Newhouse's attitude towards me anymore!"

Look at the lady’s somewhat distorted face when she mentions Newhouse.

Angelina, whose apparent identity is a female reporter but whose real identity is actually one of the editors of "VOGUE" magazine, had to remain silent.

After a few seconds, Angelina spoke:

"Okay. As long as you are willing. Madam, I will always stand by your side anyway."

"Oh~" Anna Wintour looked at Angelina, "You are always so considerate, Angelina, I love you."

"I love you too~" Angelina responded softly and affectionately.

The brief warm atmosphere quickly disappeared.

Angelina pointed to the Elizabethan angels not far away, and she said softly:

"Are we really going to let all these little bitches appear on our cover together?"

"Of course." Anna Wintour smiled:

"It's hard to give up the bait but not catch the fish. These are the baits we throw out so that we can catch the big fish behind them."

"Okay. I get it," Angelina said.

"Go, get to work. As long as our plan works. Angelina, soon we'll be rid of that bastard Newhouse!"

When saying these words, Anna Wintour looked heroic and high-spirited.

How can he not be as obsessed with seeing rare treasures as he was when he faced Abel just now.

Anna Wintour in this look is the real devil of fashion.

Just behaved like that to Abel.

It's just a fashion devil who deliberately puts on a show for some purpose.

Abel was unaware of Anna Wintour and Angelina's plans.

He just thinks Anna Wintour is weird.

It seems that he wants to please himself, or thinks that he is a super-level male model embryo.

The confusion that Anna Wintour brought to him was forgotten in about ten minutes.

Abel was angry and a little depressed.

He wanted to vent.

So that night, Caroline, the barrister entrusted by Smith Capital.

On behalf of Abel, she sent legal letters to 113 entertainment magazines and newspapers across the United States.

Subsequently, lawsuits were launched against local prosecutors and judges in 31 of the 50 states in the United States against the above entertainment media and their staff.

To put it simply, Caroline, on behalf of Abel, wants to sue the paparazzi who ambushed No. 1 Thirteenth Road, Royal Point, New York during the day.

As soon as the news was reported, paparazzi reporters all over the United States made an uproar.

Many paparazzi are very angry, and at the same time they are a little bit scared.

Fear unites them.

".Why does he sue us? The United States is a country of free speech! Don't forget, Abel Smith would not be where he is today without our help!"

".I'm just doing this for work. Interviewing and exposure are the duties of journalists. I'm just fulfilling my responsibilities!"

"Abe Smith is obstructing free speech when he does this!"

". Boycott Abel Smith, starting with every one of our reporters! From now on we will no longer report anything about Smith's company and employees, we will make them beg for us to report!"

"."

Many paparazzi and the newspapers behind them clamored on the Internet, or criticized Abel verbally and in interviews with some talk show hosts.

For a while, only about two days.

At least when it comes to entertainment media and paparazzi.

Abe Smith's reputation took a turn for the worse.

In most small and medium-sized entertainment media in the United States.

Abel Smith and his entertainment company were boycotted by the entire paparazzi industry.

Even giants like MGM have been affected.

Caroline sued over a hundred paparazzi reporters.

There are hundreds of entertainment media.

There are a large number of small and medium-sized entertainment media in the United States, as well as paparazzi reporters.

For a moment, they seemed to be united.

In their position, a charge was launched against Abel.

This scene immediately made Abel Smith look a bit precarious in the entertainment media.

Hundreds of small and medium-sized entertainment media are all going crazy.

Even some entertainment media that did not question Abel Smith also participated in the report.

This made this thing, from a small melon at the beginning, gradually become a big melon that all Americans enjoy eating.

But there are also smart people who keenly noticed that within three to four days after the incident happened.

The media that came out to criticize Abel Smith were all small and medium-sized entertainment media.

Most of them are entertainment tabloids.

Really large entertainment media can only reprint some reports at most.

However, he has always maintained a neutral stance on this matter.

More importantly, those media are more mainstream, popular and rigorous.

For example, almost none of the major newspapers such as the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and the Wall Street Journal suffered.

In this storm of public opinion that is being clamored by small and medium-sized entertainment media across the United States.

Almost all of these mainstream media have remained silent on this matter.

On the fourth day after the incident.

It’s also the last day of May.

May 31, 2001.

The New York Times published a small report.

In the report, a New York Times reporter claimed.

There are eleven entertainment magazines and newspapers headquartered in New York.

He was brought to court by Manhattan District Attorney Robert Morgenthau on suspicion of 11 charges including defamation, obstruction of personal safety, and violation of public discipline.

The court heard the case quickly and made a verdict on June 1st.

The verdict requires these 11 entertainment media companies to compensate Abel Smith for mental damages caused by them.

At the same time, journalists and newspaper and media staff involved will also be sentenced to penalties ranging from half a year to one year.

As soon as this news came out.

Hundreds of small and medium-sized American entertainment media outlets that were clamoring just a moment ago seemed to have their throats strangled.

Wait until the next day, June 2nd.

Anderson, Houston Court Judge, Houston, Texas.

At the request of the jury, nine Houston-area media outlets were found guilty of infringement of damages caused to Abel Smith.

The court judge ordered the newspaper to pay mental compensation, and the reporters and newspaper staff involved were also required to go to jail just like those in New York.

On the same day, the Los Angeles court also opened.

Then Chicago, then Miami, then New Jersey

It’s June 3rd.

The voices clamoring that Abe Smith was obstructing freedom of public opinion in the past few days have all disappeared.

It was around June 6th.

All over America, whether it's entertainment media or other newspapers.

There is absolutely no trace of the entertainment public opinion storm a few days ago.

Everything seems calm, and the American media world is peaceful.

Only some thoughtful and intelligent people know.

113 entertainment newspapers and magazines were sued by Barrister Caroline.

The big ones among them, with backers behind them, all made compensation and published their apologies in newspapers, and those involved were also imprisoned.

Those small and medium-sized enterprises, or those without backers, have declared bankruptcy and liquidation after June.

And among the more than 95,000 Americans imprisoned this month.

Almost 436 people worked as entertainment media reporters before going to prison.

It is truly a spectacle that about 5% of the tens of thousands of entertainment journalists in the United States suddenly went to jail together.

June 7th.

"VOGUE" magazine, at its headquarters in New York, USA.

Angelina is the editor-in-chief of the fashion section of "VOGUE" magazine.

Carrying a pile of magazines and newspapers, she came to the office of Anna Wintour, editor-in-chief of the American edition of "VOGUE" magazine.

Angelina put all these newspapers and magazines on Anna Wintour's desk.

"As you can see," Angelina told Anna Wintour:

"These are the entertainment newspapers and magazines that will cease publication this month."

Anna Wintour said: "So many?"

"It's more than that. This is just part of it." Angelina said:

"Actually there are more, but some I can't buy, and there are too many that I can't hold."

Looking at the various entertainment magazines and newspapers piled as high as a mountain on his desk.

A lot of the above is from the end of May.

It even included the "Smith's contempt for freedom of public opinion" incident that was frantically reported by small and medium-sized entertainment media in the United States at that time.

Angelina said with some lingering fear: "Ana, it's too scary. This man's energy is too scary."

Anna Wintour knows what she's talking about.

At this moment, the Fashion Devil is also a little doubtful whether her plan will succeed.

Because that young man's power in this country has exceeded Anna Wintour's imagination.

Anna Wintour looked at Angelina, who looked a little scared.

This made Anna Wintour grit her teeth, "Because of this, it is more beneficial to us. Angelina, think about it. If he joins, wouldn't it be helpful for us to get rid of Newhouse with his energy?" Greater help?”

When Angelina thought about it, she also felt that from this perspective, Anna Wintour seemed to be right.

"But."

Angelina said hesitantly: "How can we make him willing to help us? Just rely on the appeal of "VOGUE" to him? I think it's not enough."

Anna Wintour touched her forehead.

"Let me think about it, let me think about it, let me think about it some more."
