America's Road to Wealth

The development of Elizabeth's back garden is already on the right track.

The distance traveled is several times better than that of Victoria's Secret in parallel time and space.

The reason why we are talking about the Victoria's Secret in parallel time and space, not the one here.

It's because Victoria's Secret here rejected Abel's acquisition last year.

Due to being targeted in all directions by Elizabeth's back garden. The positioning, price, customer base, etc. are all similar to those of Isa.

But marketing ability... to be precise, it should be krypton gold ability. There is a huge difference between the two.

As a result, Elizabeth's back garden has its current status, and Victoria's Secret, under the attack of Abel's 1450 Network Information Company, is considered by many to be a poor imitator of Elizabeth's company.

It is considered to be an A-grade imitation, a brand of underwear copied from Elizabeth's back garden.

Even if Victoria's Secret actually appeared earlier and was more famous before, it's the same.

In terms of financial resources and media, there is no way to compare with the Isa company that is backed by Abel. Victoria's Secret, which was targeted and attacked, is having a very difficult life.

The previous good development momentum has been completely shattered.

Now, not to mention that the vitality is seriously damaged, but the marketing path has been taken away by Isa Company.

It still comes out better and better than the original.

If Victoria’s Secret still wants to develop. Maybe we need another time traveler with a system to hope to get it done.

As for Abel's Elizabethan back garden, that's because it's already on track.

In addition to the annual Christmas Eve show, Abel's connections are needed to get through Times Square.

In other aspects, excellent managers can already develop it very well.

Michael Levine just reported to work normally.

After he finished his report, it was the turn of Alan Baker next to him.

The first thing Alan Baker reported to Abel was the task that Abel gave to the Smith Intelligence Group two days ago.

Two days ago, Abel met the Hearst sisters who came to work as part-time workers at the AMC TV Group.

At that time, he asked the Smith Intelligence Group to investigate and see what was going on with the Hearst Group.

"...Hearst Media Group's performance in the past two years has been very poor."

After Michael Levine’s report ended, Allen said softly:

"Due to the impact of the emergence of the Internet, many people began to search for the news and information they wanted on the Internet. Hearst Media Group, which has never transformed and does not have an Internet module until now, has recorded sales of magazines and newspapers. It’s been a huge impact.”

"According to data, Hearst Media Group's revenue in 2000 was 10% lower than in 1999. Revenue in 1999 was 8.9% lower than in 1998."

"The revenue in 1995 was 50% more than that in 2000. The revenue in the first three quarters of this year combined is only 90% of the first three quarters of last year. It is obvious that this year is another fiscal year with poor results."

Allen concluded: "From this perspective, Hearst Media Group is in a very bad situation."

Abel nodded. He knew that declining revenue for many consecutive years was a terrible thing for any company.

It’s okay to make less money in one or two years, and it’s okay to even lose money in one or two years.

But if for five or six consecutive years, you make less and less, or you keep losing money.

That would be very troublesome.

If the solution is not good, bankruptcy and liquidation are really not far away.

Even if it is a century-old wealthy family, or a century-old company, it is the same.

"Except for that aspect."

Alan Baker added: "William Hearst's physical condition is very poor, and his brothers and sisters may have begun a struggle for power."

William Hearst is the current chairman of the Hearst Corporation and the eldest grandson of William Randolph Hearst, who founded the Hearst Media Group.

They are the third generation of the Hearst family, and Amanda and the others are the fourth generation.

He is the current core figure of the Hearst family. The key is that he has no children, but he has several cousins, and the cousins ​​all have children.

If he retires due to physical problems, other Hearsts will not be without ideas.

In terms of algebra, the Hearst family can be considered rich for three generations and can be described as a wealthy family.

Abel nodded again, but actually he didn't know how many elders Amanda had because he didn't care about this before.

The concern at this time is only because the Hearst family behaved a bit strangely, so they asked someone to investigate.

At this time, after hearing what Allen said, he was somewhat prepared and no longer struggled with the matter.

But this situation of Hearst Media Group also sounded the alarm for Abel.

"For the media under Smith Media, the Internet must be in front of everyone."

Abel explained: "You make a plan and consult with Smith Media."

Alan Baker nodded in agreement.

The deliberations also ended here.

Time continues to move forward, not accommodating people's will, nor changing according to people's ideas.

Christmas is getting closer and closer, and the holiday atmosphere across the United States has begun to heighten.

New York, the largest city in the United States, almost turned into a sea of ​​red after December 20th.

Red Christmas decorations occupy the color of many stores and shopping malls.

This year in New York, it hasn’t snowed since the 19th.

Although the weather is a bit cold, close to the freezing point.

But this does not prevent New Yorkers from celebrating the most important holiday of the year.

The streets are full of people wearing Christmas costumes strutting through the streets. Most parents take their children or families together to go shopping in major shopping malls.

This is an authentic American Christmas.

In contrast, many people in China celebrate the so-called Christmas.

That is, some women ask for gifts under clever pretexts. Some men just pick up girls and harm them.

Of course, many businesses are leading the way. Who calls the holiday economy? It has always been a good time for businesses to boost revenue.

If we listened to the merchants, they might wish they could celebrate the holidays every day, 365 days a year.

There is no festival to celebrate, but you can create some titles such as "the first cup of milk tea in autumn", "the first hot pot meal in winter", "the first barbecue meal in summer", "the first trip in spring" and so on.

That evening, Abel was sitting in the car, and the motorcade was heading to Times Square.

In another hour, when it starts to get dark.

This year's Elizabeth Christmas Eve show is about to begin in Times Square.

Inside the cabin of the Cadillac Monster.

Abel looked through the car window at the lively scene along the way.

You can see that every store has been hung with garlands, and the doors and windows have been decorated. Some larger stores have also made Christmas windows.

To be honest, the atmosphere is similar to that of Chinese New Year's Eve or the day before New Year's Eve. It is festive, lively and busy. Everyone, whether adults or children, is walking on the road with big and small bags and happy smiles.

One of the annual American traditions, the Christmas shopping season starts very early.

The price war on Black Friday has brought the moral integrity of the American people to its lowest point.

What the heck is quality in the Black Friday war?

Late at night, I started queuing up to wait for the mall to open and let people in. Then I ran all the way and started grabbing the goods as if they were free of charge.

The level of madness and the ferocious expressions on those people's faces could have been used to film Resident Evil Invasion without makeup. (If you are interested, you can watch the Black Friday sales video in the United States, it looks scary)

In fact, Abel couldn't quite figure it out. In such a scene, stampedes and personal injuries would occur in shopping malls in many places every year.

It can be said that there are many behaviors such as fighting over goods and fighting.

As a result, in later generations, after China's economy developed, Chinese tycoons began to sweep across the world.

These Westerners, from a higher perspective, laughed at the Chinese tycoon army.

It's just because of envy and jealousy. After entering the 21st century, the economic downturn caused ordinary people in the West to go shopping during the discount season.

And the wealthy Chinese who can go abroad are queuing up to buy all luxury brands. It is understandable that Westerners are so fed up with it that the sour water naturally overflows desperately. After all, when I eat glutinous vegetables and look at the delicacies of the "inferior people" I looked down on before, I seem to be much richer than myself. It would be weird not to scold my mother...

Soon, Times Square arrived.

On December 24, Christmas Eve, the word “crowds of people” cannot describe the crowds near Times Square.

Fortunately, New York is one of Abel's home stadiums, and the New York Police Department was out in force today.

Among the police forces deployed to Manhattan, 60% were stationed near Times Square.

Even if the media or anyone questions it, the NYPD is completely justified.

No matter what time of day, the busiest place in Manhattan is Times Square.

Then they sent most of the police force to the busiest places on the busiest day with the most people. What's wrong with that?

With the help of a large number of New York police officers, Isa's period show started as scheduled that night.

That night, Mr. Cheney, the current Vice President of the United States, finally appeared in a VIP seat in Times Square to Bloomberg's surprise.

Let this gentleman appear here, in front of the media.

What Abel paid was a private promise that Smith Media would vigorously assist Ms. Liz Cheney in certain activities in Wyoming.

What's more, even without considering this, the relationship between Cheney and Bush. As he happened to be in New York, it was difficult for him to refuse Abel's small request.

In addition, this is the United States, let alone the deputy commander, even if the commander shows up to watch the underwear show, it is barely acceptable.

Have fun with the people.

So here comes Cheney.

That night, a large number of top stars from the entertainment industry also appeared in the show.

Like MJ and Britney.

The difference is that both of them were artists under Sony Music Group last year.

By this year, both of them have become singers from DreamWorks.

Compared with last year, this year’s Isha show model is more mature.

Big-name singers, celebrity backup dancers, backup singers, and Isa Angel walked the catwalk in sexy lingerie.

It is extremely powerful to gain ratings and eyeballs when it is still new to the audience.

The data presented in terms of TV ratings are much better than last year.

Last year, for the first Isa Times Square Christmas Eve show, Nielsen Data Company reported a global viewership of 1.969 billion (total historical data, including replays on demand), of which the 24-hour viewership in the United States was 23 million.

To compare with this data, the 1998 NBA Finals, in which the Bulls participated, had approximately 3 billion viewers globally and approximately 36 million viewers in the United States.

Last year's Isha show can be said to have 2/3 of the influence of the NBA Finals.

This year, because it was not so rushed, we had a longer time to promote it, and we also had the blessing of word-of-mouth from last year.

This year's Isa show was watched by 2.8 billion people worldwide and 28 million viewers in the United States.

Of course, this is incomparable with the exaggerated statistics that the Super Bowl often attracts hundreds of millions of viewers across the United States, with almost 1/3 of Americans watching it.

After all, it was the American Spring Festival Gala.

If a lingerie show had higher ratings than the American Spring Festival Gala.

That would require everyone in the United States to be a serious LSP, and then there would probably be hope.

But Abel didn't care much about these.

He was attending the reception at the end of Isa's show that day.

Late that night, he got rid of twenty-five mermaids who had been pestering him for several days.

Get on a Boeing 747 and return to Texas from New York.

Returning to Smith Farm in the darkest hour before dawn.

Strictly speaking, it's already Christmas at this time.

Alexander, Sheriff Tarrant, of course returned home.

In the United States, on Christmas Day, even the commander-in-chief will stay with his family to celebrate the holiday.

If the commander-in-chief leaves his family and goes to work on this day, the media may say that he does not value his family and the public will be disgusted.

It can only be said that national conditions are different.

It was about 4 a.m. on Christmas Day 2001 when Abel returned to the Smith Farm.

Mr. and Mrs. Alexander and Mr. and Mrs. Alex are sleeping.

But someone was waiting for him.

It's Charlize Theron, the mother of Abel's child. Knowing that he would return at this time, he got up all night to greet him.

Late at night, at the door of Smith Manor.

Accompanied by two female bodyguards.

Charlize wore a light blue short shawl coat, which highlighted her excellent figure. She paired it with a bright yellow velvet knee-length skirt, a pair of black high boots, and her light blond hair had a natural look. The undulating arc is placed on the shoulders. Clear and bright pupils, curved eyebrows, and long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Abel smiled and walked over to her and hugged her directly. Her fair skin suddenly showed a faint reddish pink, and her thin eyes suddenly showed. His lips were captured instantly.

After several minutes, she was let go.

The two of them walked into the white-dominated farm villa with their fingers clasped together.

Both the decoration and furniture here are full of Texas farm style, but the materials used are better and the decoration technology is better. You can tell by looking at it that it is worth a lot of money.

In the middle of the night, Abel didn't want to disturb his parents and grandparents.

He directly took Charlize's hand and walked to his area in the villa.

He occupies the best and largest room in his own home.

Compared with the villa, this house is relatively independent.

It has its own door that separates it from the rest of the Smith Farm estate.

Inside, there are even 5 rooms belonging to him.

It used to be a master bedroom and a study room. The master bedroom slept in the study room and painted and studied.

Other rooms are vacant and used for storage and other purposes.

But now, in addition to the study, the other three rooms have been cleared out.

One of them was used by Charlize, another as a nursery, and one as a guest room.

As for Abel's master bedroom, Charlize didn't live in it, and she doesn't know why.

It may be that she and little Laura have some kind of agreement, but it's not necessarily true.

After all, Charlize was originally little Laura, the first Abel woman to accept her.

Holding Charlize's hand, Abel went to the baby room first and looked at his only child born so far.

This is his first child and his eldest daughter. Even if she is an illegitimate daughter, she is still valued by him.

In some places in China, there is a saying that the first child is gold, the second child is silver, the third child is iron, and the fourth child is grass.

It is said that the eldest son/daughter is often the most favored.

The same is true for Europeans and Americans. This can be seen from the fact that their elites are basically inherited by the eldest son.

The child is in the nursery. There are two nannies taking care of her in the nursery. She rests directly there. There are more than two people taking care of little Alia 24 hours a day.

The master and mistress appeared, and the two nannies woke up and stood aside and looked at them cautiously.

In front of the baby's bed, Charlize said softly: "I just fed Nai. She can sleep for about two hours, and then she will be hungry again. Then they will take her over to me to feed Nai."

Abel looked deeply at the little baby in the baby bed.

The little guy is already one month old.

She is very small, has a round and red face, and sleeps very sweetly.

The two eyes were closed tightly, like two lines; the two eyebrows were like two curved crescent moons, and the mouth was smiling crookedly, not knowing what good thing he had dreamed of.

"She's so beautiful."

Maybe it really fits the saying - children are good from one's own family, and wives are beautiful from other people's families.

The more Abel looked at little Alia, the more he liked her.

In the outline of her little face, he felt like he saw his own appearance.

Obviously, his eldest daughter looks more like his father in appearance.

But it didn't matter, he felt that whether little Aaliya looked like him or her mother, she would never be ugly.

After looking at his daughter for a while, Abel pulled up Charlize, whose eyes were as gentle as water, and left the room, heading towards the stairs leading to the master bedroom on the second floor.

The master bedroom is easy to find. It is located near the outer wall. When you open the door, you will find a large Simmons room that is about 2.5 meters long and 3.5 to 4 meters wide.

The bed is wrapped in tan leather, and the bed sheet and quilt are pure white.

These have been replaced and were not like this before.

It was Simmons who was replaced when Abel came back last year.

His idea at the time was simple, because Spider-Man Parker said——

"The bigger Simmons is, the more girls there are!"

The result of making such a special large Simmons is that the aisle between it and the wall is only about 1.5 meters.

Don't look at this oversized Simmons.

The spatial layout of the room is as traditional as ever in the southern style.

Furniture and other items are arranged in order, with a separate balcony. The entire part near the outer wall is a balcony, but there is a special glass wall to separate it. You can see the outside from the inside, but you cannot see the inside from the outside.

A set of wide and narrow fabric sofas are placed on the balcony outside.

You can sit on it and enjoy all the scenery below the mountain. The lake in the distance is sparkling under the light of the lakeside lights.

After entering the master bedroom and closing the door, Abel turned around and saw Charlize looking at him with watery eyes.

"You can?"

He remembered that after a woman gave birth, it seemed that it would take a while before she could do anything.

"It's been checked. Because it was a natural birth and with the best conditioning and care, the recovery is very, very good."

"The doctors all said there's nothing wrong with it."

What else is there to say, after all, it’s been a month.

There is also the endorsement of the best medical team invited from Houston.

Abel directly pulled Charlize in front of him.

Charlize's restraints began to be lifted.

The light blue short shawl coat slipped on the carpet.

Then there is the bright yellow velvet knee-length skirt, and then...

In the middle, little Alia was brought over. The baby was hungry and wanted to eat.

But her food reserves were all eaten up by her father.

She had no choice but to feel aggrieved and eat a meal of rice noodles.

Soon the morning comes and Christmas comes.

With the arrival of Christmas, the farm is no longer as busy as usual in the early morning, but you can still hear a few cows braying and dogs barking.

Smith Farm Villa, independent of the corner Abel master bedroom.

The slightly gapped balcony partitioned the glass wall, and a cool breeze blew in from time to time. A pair of Isa's custom-made stockings was thrown beside the wall.

On the soft wool carpet, some clothes and used tissues were thrown on the ground. They had obviously experienced indescribable treatment.

The customized Super Simmons shuddered.

As Charlize let out a final whine.

The sound that lasted for a long time finally came to an end.

In the bedroom, peace finally fell.
