America's Road to Wealth

The complexion of a woman is the most intuitive portrayal of happiness. Only with the nourishment of love, the care of family, ample time and superior living conditions, can a woman exude a radiant complexion.

This kind of brilliance, all of which are inseparable from the support of the other half, the thoughtfulness of the man in the family, and the financial ability of the man.

No matter how deep a woman's self-cultivation is, no matter how high her income is, no matter how prominent her status is, it is often difficult to cover up the unique complexion on this radiant woman's face.

At 11:30 in the morning, No. DR10066, Siero, inside the restaurant of the villa.

Looking at Ikana who was eating like a kitten, Abel smiled and said:

"You still want to breastfeed little Andy and little Alia. Is there enough nutrition to eat such a little?"

"Of course there is. This is a recipe designed by the nutritionists for me. It allows me to ensure the nutrition supply for my two babies and my figure."

Looking at Abel, as always, a large pile of such high-calorie barbecue, chicken rolls, steaks, vegetable salads, etc. were placed in front of Abel, Ikana sighed inwardly.

She also really wants to have this kind of physique that can be converted into strength as much as she eats without getting fat.

If this is the case, then she doesn't have to start from being sensible, and every time she eats a candy, she has to consider its calories and how many grams it will add to her weight.

The two chatted for a while, and Ikana went out in the afternoon to find a suitable office space near Beverly Hills.

Abel has prepared the personnel and funds needed for the new company. She only needs to pick the venue she wants, and a new Internet company will be established in Los Angeles.

It can be said that Internet companies based in Los Angeles instead of the San Francisco Bay Area are quite rare.

No matter which period, the rent here is still a little more expensive than that.

The two chatted a few more words, and Paris came down.

It has been almost half a month since she gave birth, and her good medical conditions and good physical fitness have allowed her to recover very well.

I can already walk around in the ground, but I can't do heavy physical labor.

But for a mother like her, it is impossible for her to do heavy physical activities in her turn.

"Okay. I'm full. I'm going to work. You've been with me for the past few days, and the rest of the time can be given to my dear Paris. To prevent Miss Hilton from having postpartum depression, I'm a heinous sinner." !"

Ikana teased Paris, who rolled her eyes several times.

She left as soon as she said, and really got up, ready to go out to see the office space of her new company.

This job is actually not very difficult. The New Start Real Estate Company has prepared several options for Ikana, and these are all their own properties.

If Ikana doesn't like these things, then New Start Real Estate Company can provide intermediary services like other real estate companies and introduce other office buildings to Ikana.

There is a real estate company of its own, not to mention whether it makes money or not, at least it can provide great convenience in this regard.

Ikana left, and only Abel and Paris were left in the restaurant.

Abel walked over, put his arms around her, and took her to sit beside him.

"Honey, what do you want to eat? Oh, it should be what you can eat now?"

Abel cared authentically.

To be honest, Abel and Paris don't really have much affection.

At the beginning, the two were able to hook up together, mainly because the adulterer wanted it and the "Ye wife" was affectionate. Coupled with the status of having friends and girlfriends, and the excitement brought about by secretly having sex with Ikana, the two got together.

After doing it for a long time, Paris's belly grew bigger, and everything followed.

For Paris, Abel originally had concerns about her in parallel time and space.

That made him keep a respectful distance from Paris at the beginning.

Paris in the parallel time and space is not the kind of good woman that men think of.

Fortunately, in this time and space, Abel appeared very early. When he appeared, Paris was still the obedient daughter of the Hilton family in New York, and everything was still too late.

And because she was envious of Ikana's "good luck", under the operation of Baron Hilton, she and Ikana became good girlfriends.

This is how the following things came about.

Now people's bellies are too big, and the children are all born to themselves.

His conduct and character are completely different from those shown in the parallel time and space.

For such a Paris who is obedient to him and has no deformity in appearance, but is getting more and more beautiful, he will naturally have some affection.

"I've already eaten it." Paris said sweetly, "The doctor said it's best to follow the dietitian's recipe for the first 20 days. That's the best for me and the child."

"By the way, dear, are you okay this afternoon?"

Usually at this time, Abel has long since disappeared. He usually goes out in the morning and does not come back until evening.

It's this time today, Ikana has gone out, but Abel hasn't left yet.

That's why Paris asked this question.

"I'm going to go out later, to Music DreamWorks, to solve some things. I'm going to San Francisco in two days. But wait a minute, just read the investment briefing, so I can accompany you now." Abel hugged Looking at Paris, who now gave him a chubby feeling, he said softly.

It's only been ten days since the birth of the baby, how could it be possible to lose weight immediately.

Now Paris is very moist all over. It has a very strong smell of women's water, which is a unique smell of breastfeeding women.

Some like it and some hate it, but Abel loves it anyway.

This may be one of the reasons why he likes to impregnate his women one by one.

After spending more than an hour with Paris, she went to take a nap later.

Helping Paris cover the blanket, looking at the upturned corners of her mouth and her peaceful sleeping face, with a slight smile, Abel picked up the shorts on the side and put them on—

Some places cannot be used during the confinement period, but not all places cannot be used.

He carefully opened the door and walked out, into the study at the other end of the corridor.

Sitting in front of the computer, opened his e-mail, and began to check the briefing. In fact, he also knew that there was nothing important in the briefing. However, it was very important to him to keep abreast of the daily life of each company. .

He can delegate power, and is willing to delegate power, and suspects don't have to be suspicious, but some monitoring is still necessary.

Among a bunch of briefings, he saw a briefing from Huaxia.

For Huaxia, Abel didn't pay much attention to the outside world.

But only he himself knows that he is actually very concerned about it, no matter whether it is public or private.

Yu Gong, he has a lot of investments there.

Since the end of 2000, Abel has sent a Chinese executive named Lin Xiaoying and an American executive named Kavelin to China to set up a branch of Smith Capital.

The two of them are responsible for Smith Capital (Huaxia), where the main job is to conduct angel round investment and venture capital.

And do some support work for Abel, such as after they passed.

Some public media in China, mainly publications and the Internet, often see positive reports on the American legend Abel Smith.

In these reports, those reporters, writers, and columnists praised him as an American like a flower in the sky.

In those articles, Buffett, Soros, and Bill Gates are all inferior to Abel Smith.

They talked about Abel's donations to charity over and over again, and then accused the rich in their country of being indifferent.

Anyway, it is something that will look old-fashioned in the future, but in this environment after the millennium, it can reshape many things of the three views of little.white.rabbit.

To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is actually the earliest form of NGO.

During this period, its power is particularly powerful.

So much so that after two years, Abel Smith has almost become the most positive image of a foreigner in the impression of Chinese people.

It is roughly equivalent to the sum of the positive images of Buffett + Bill Gates and others in this period in parallel time and space.

Of course, compared to other NGOs that are only responsible for blowing and infiltrating, Abel is much more human.

Something happened over there, when a donation was needed.

Smith Capital (Huaxia), a foreign-funded company with no business there, has always been the one that donated the most.

It also made his reputation in the authorities there particularly good.

Especially when he still has such a big influence in the United States and the world.

These are the main tasks of Lin Xiaoying and Kai Fulin.

But compared to paving the way for his personal image, Abel is actually more concerned about their performance in China.

Abel has carefully checked every briefing they sent.

This made him very satisfied, because in these briefings, Smith Capital (Huaxia) has almost all the future Chinese industry giants involved.

In terms of the Internet, Penguin, Ali, Somao Solu, Wangzhuyi, Jinshan and the like all have more than 15% of the share investment, and the highest even accounts for more than 35%.

Other aspects have not been overlooked, such as the shares of Moutai Group, which went public on August 27 last year, with a price of only 31 yuan Huaxia currency.

Abel asked Lin Xiaoying to invest 100 million U.S. dollars in it. The money will become billions of U.S. dollars in the future without doing anything...

Other industrial companies such as Liji Automobile, BYD, etc., Abel also did not let them go.

After more than two years, Abel's total investment in China has exceeded 5 billion US dollars.

But Abel was very cautious, and his purpose was clear. He didn't come to try to control these Chinese companies, he came to share the benefits of China's rise.

Therefore, his proportion of these investments will not be very high. Even if the net pig is as high as 35%, he plans to gradually reduce it to about 10% in the future. This is the safety line he set for himself.

If you stay within the safety line, you will not be afraid of suppressing your investment for the purpose of national security.

One thing more is worse than one thing less. All Abel wants is to lie on Huaxia's body and make hundreds of billions of dollars by riding a ride.

This is the public aspect, and it is the attitude of a capitalist towards that country.

Personally, even though he has become a capitalist, he still has some feelings for that side.

Because of special circumstances, it can't pass, but it's okay to take care of it from a distance.

After reading a round of briefings, Lin Xiaoying's briefing on Huaxia Investment, the last bit of content caught Abel's attention.

As mentioned above, a company called Goudong recently wanted to obtain investment from Smith Capital (Huaxia).

Founded in 1998, this company is currently the most influential agent in the field of optical and magnetic products in China, and its sales volume and influence are second to none in the industry in China.

Now this company wants to expand investment outside the field of optical and magnetic products, and wants to try to enter the Huaxia e-commerce field, which has already begun to emerge, and cultivate the experimental field of entrepreneurship.

Lin Xiaoying offered Goudong US$15 million for a 30% stake, which is still under consideration.

In the briefing, it was confirmed that this Gou Dong is that Gou Dong, and this strong brother is that strong brother later.

Abel replied by e-mail to give instructions that the $15 million, that is, more than 100 million RMB, can be reduced to $10 million, and the shares can only be required to be about 20%, but priority financing rights are required.

10 million U.S. dollars, more than 70 million RMB according to the current exchange rate, was already a huge sum of money for Gou Dong and Brother Qiang at that time.

Reducing the proportion of shares can reduce the vigilance there and make it easier for Smith Capital to buy shares.

At 3 o'clock in the afternoon, Paris had already woken up from her nap.

Abel was in the room, holding his son Barron Jr. for a while, and then kissed Paris goodbye, and went to the living room, ready to go out.

Sitting in the car of the Cadillac monster, Abel opened his mouth to order:

"Go straight to DreamWorks Music."

After Edward confirmed the safety of the main entrance of the villa through the communicator on his ear, the car drove out of the gate and drove away.

DreamWorks Music Company.

This Smith Media company is mainly responsible for the music field. It was originally a branch of DreamWorks Films.

After Abel bought DreamWorks, it became Abel's property as a matter of course.

Abel convinced David Geffen, the world's richest giver, to continue running and leading DreamWorks Music.

This dude is indeed very capable in this field, and he is indeed a master of the industry who once created a legendary singer group and a legendary superstar.

Today Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Celine Dion, Kanye and other well-known singers are all signed singers of DreamWorks Music.

In the American music industry, the original situation of three major players and one minor was broken by DreamWorks. After Warner Music, Sony Music, Universal Music and BMG, DreamWorks Music became a new giant, known as the Big Five.

Compared with these four old giants, the only thing that DreamWorks Music lacks is its global layout.

Now, the headquarters of DreamWorks Music is actually in Smith Tower in New York. After all, New York is the music capital of the United States.

But here in Los Angeles, there is the largest recording studio and branch of DreamWorks. After all, here has a unique geographical advantage, close to Hollywood, enough for Dreamworks Music to increase investment here.

The big boss arrived, and of course David Geffen, the general manager of DreamWorks Music, greeted him in person.

But David Geffen is a billionaire himself, worth billions of dollars, and doesn't devote all his time to the company.

He has his own business and entertainment, so David Geffen came from his villa.

Abel had been in the chairman's office for a while when he came over.

"David Geffen is here?. Let him in later."

Abel raised his chin slightly to make it easy for Lydia, Hearst's secretary, who was tying her tie.

Why is he wearing a tie? Of course it's because he took it off just now.

As for why she had to take it off, looking at Lydia's beautiful red cheeks now, one could guess some reasons.

Lydia tied Abel's tie, picked up the suit hanging aside, stood behind Abel, and unfolded the clothes for him to put on more conveniently.

Seeing Lydia twist her waist and leave the office, Abel took a sip of his coffee and leisurely took a sip of the cigar on the crystal ashtray.

He never did it before, maybe now that he's old, he'll take a sip or two now and then. .

But in fact, it's just pretending, and I don't really like it much.

His props are very expensive, the price of Behike cigars produced in Cuba is 471 US dollars each.

Only 4,000 of these cigars were produced in a box of 40, and they were only sold in boxes of 40.

Not long after Lydia went out, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in."

The richest man on earth, one of Hollywood's most influential tycoons, American music mogul David Geffen walked in with a smile.

Abel and David Geffen have known each other since they first met on Ovitz's yacht.

At that time, Abel wanted to see the scene and at the same time buy shares in CAA from Ovitz and others.

David Geffen went fishing. It was real fishing. This guy was a super fishing friend, rich and free, and he drove a yacht to fish all over the world.

Because there is a feeling of "acquaintance at the end of life", the relationship between the two is not just a boss and a worker, but more like a friend.

"Good afternoon, David. I heard that you caught a 50-pound golden-ringed Tang in Hawaii a while ago, and it was all on the news."

Abel greeted him with a smile.

The golden ring surgeonfish is only found near the Hawaiian Islands and is a specialty there. Generally, it weighs more than ten pounds, and those weighing more than 50 pounds are considered huge.

Abel, who is not a fishing friend, can know this and still care about this, of course he has done his homework in advance.

"Ha...that's all luck. The weather was fine that day, and I didn't expect to catch it." This incident is the most proud and happy thing for this fisherman recently.

Hearing Abel mention this matter as soon as he entered the door, David Geffen's mood immediately became very good.

After chatting on this topic for a while, taking advantage of the good atmosphere, Abel shifted the focus of their chat to the company and David Geffen's whereabouts.

Yes, where David Geffen is going.

This guy, he wants to resign.

In other words, he wants to step down from his position as the general manager of DreamWorks Music and only act as a producer and consultant, so that he can spend more time on other areas that he is more interested in.

For example... buy a large newspaper, become the owner of the newspaper or something.

Abel had promised him at the time that he would help him try to acquire the Los Angeles Times.

Abel was a little helpless about this guy's thoughts in this regard.

First of all, David Geffen is very rich. There is always a net worth of five or six billion dollars, and maybe even more.

Secondly, he is gay, because he is too rich and has little need for material things.

In terms of power and wealth, Abel had nothing to attract him. If he really wants to resign, Abel really has nothing to do.

At that time, allowing him to stay and help him rectify DreamWorks Music was achieved only through love and the promise to help acquire large newspapers.

The so-called desireless is just like David Geffen.

"David, you can actually continue to lead DreamWorks Music and do something you love."

Abel made a request to keep him. The main purpose of coming here today is to let David Geffen stay.

"For example, when the time comes, you can put your office at the headquarters of the Los Angeles Times or something. In this way, there is no delay on both sides. One side is your hobby and the other side is your career. I think this is perfect."

Abel began to persuade, even he himself did not know if he could succeed.
