America's Road to Wealth

"You said your name was Taylor Swift, right?"

David Geffen's office at DreamWorks Music in Los Angeles.

Abel was sitting on the general manager's office chair, looking at the other side so nervous that he was trembling all over, but he still mustered up the courage to look up at his little girl, speaking in a very flat and authentic tone.

"Yes, yes... I, I am... this, this is my name... I'm sorry, Mr. Smith, but I really, really like you, and I just wanted, wanted your autograph, so I made it I'm very, very sorry about this."

The girl stammered a little in her reply, and it was obvious that she was still very nervous.

It's not at all like the Taylor Swift in Abe's impression, who is swaying freely on the stage, articulate and charming.

Just now, about half an hour ago or so.

After Abel enjoyed Faith Hill's studio recording process.

He showed up in the aisle, talking to the DreamWorks Music crew, the singers.

The process was very pleasant, but there was a little accident.

The little accident was right in front of a very young, even young Taylor Swift.

This little girl with fox eyes, she broke free from the protection of several bodyguards, rushed to Abel, jumped on him and hugged him.

In that way, it was as if the most stupid fan saw the star she loved and shocked Abel.

There was a lot of jumping behind, and she was carried down by Abel.

At that time, if Abel had spoken a little later, this daring chick might have been dragged out to find a place where no one was around and shot dead.

Afterwards, Abel figured out that she was a new signing of DreamWorks Music and was brought to Los Angeles by David Geffen from Nashville, the music capital of the United States, a few months ago.

As one of the many newcomers trained by Music DreamWorks, she is training in the company today.

After seeing Abel, her "idol", she said that she was too excited and did such a thing accidentally.

To be honest, Abel was a little angry at the beginning, and also a little scared.

If it was not a little girl who jumped on him, but someone else with a bomb, or even just a dagger, he would be able to hurt himself at the last time.

Although Abel also knows that the security of the rock has actually reached the extreme. Those who were able to come close to him have already been checked by security checks to ensure that they are not carrying any weapons, or even any metal objects or hard objects.

What's more, the situation was chaotic at that time, and little Taylor didn't seem to be a threat, so she let her take advantage of it.

By now, Abel's anger and fear had subsided.

He looked curiously at Taylor Swift, who was young and immature, and couldn't imagine that this round-faced fox-eyed blonde girl would turn into such a glamorous American girl in the future.

The growth and makeup is amazing, making her change so much afterward.

"I'm not a singer, and I can't sing or write songs or write lyrics."

Abel continued to speak flatly: "You said that I am your idol. Don't tell me that what you want to be is not a singer, but a job on Wall Street? Because this is the only way to explain your saying that I am your idol."

It's just Abe in the office now, along with Taylor Swift and David Geffen.

David Geffen couldn't bear to see Taylor Swift terrified and nervous.

At the same time, she felt that she deserved it.

Abel is not aware of the legend about Kanye West's "Bole" in the music circle.

How could David Geffen not know?

So the general manager of Music Dreamworks understands that the whole story is definitely because this bold little girl in front of her wants to emulate Kanye West and be Kanye's second.

To do something like today. Unexpectedly, she was so lucky that Abel was so close to her.

Now David Geffen thinks that Taylor Swift may be in trouble.

He could see that Abel was very angry just now.

And this little girl has a very average appearance (Taylor looked average when she was a child), and her talents are not so outstanding that David Geffen is willing to die.

In order not to make Abel angry, David Geffen is willing to support Abel's punishment of Taylor Swift.

At this moment, David Geffen couldn't bear to see Abel running on the young Swift with his words, but he had the right to ignore it.

"Hoo-hoo-hoo-"

What Abel and David Geffen didn't expect was that the courage of the little girl in front of them seemed beyond imagination.

She was able to squeeze in front of Abel so boldly, after experiencing the previous nervousness.

She stared at Abel, her body was still trembling nervously, but her voice became fluent.

"Okay. I admit my mistake, Mr. Smith. I have to admit that what I did just now was indeed on purpose. I want to be the second Kanye West, or even..."

The young Taylor gritted her teeth and broke the can, "Even the second Britney, Avril Lavigne, or the third. In short... I want to be a singer, I want to be a star!!"

After her courageous speech, she was obviously more nervous after she finished speaking.

It is reflected in the external performance of her body, that is, the shaking of her body becomes larger.

But the little girl's speech is very in line with Abel's impression of the image of Taylor Swift who shines on stage and in life.

Abel then looked down at her resume.

[Taylor Swift was born on December 13, 1989 in Pennsylvania. 】

[At age 10, she wrote a three-page poem, "The Monster in My Closet," which won an American Poetry Contest. 】

[That same year, she began performing in and around Philadelphia. At the age of 11, he took the stage to sing the American national anthem before the NBA team's Philadelphia 76ers game. 】

[In 2001, after learning the chords, she composed her first song "Lucky You". In the same year, I drove to Nashville with my family, and went to Music Street with many record companies, and sent original music samples to the front desk of each record company. 】

【…】

From her simple resume, it can be seen that this is a very courageous little girl who is loved by her family.

If you are not very courageous, it is impossible to dare to perform on stage at the age of 10 or 11, and perform everywhere.

If the family didn't pamper her, they wouldn't accompany her on her adventures in Nashville.

Of course, it can be seen that she is full of talent. Otherwise, her parents wouldn't have been so bold as to move the family to Nashville to help her pursue her dream...

Then just a few months ago, she was spotted by David Geffen, who often goes to Nashville to find good prospects, and signed to bring her back to Los Angeles.

Her family moved from Nashville to Los Angeles for her.

Then there is the basis for this scene to happen today.

Closing her resume, she saw that her body was still shaking, but she looked at him stubbornly, her eyes were still fixed on her.

Even though her appearance was a bit inconsistent, in Abel's eyes, she gradually merged with the image of Taylor Swift in his memory.

"call……"

Abel exhaled lightly, and the serious and plain expression on his face finally began to ease.

He smiled and said, "Ha, what a brave little girl, it seems that you are doing this to chase your dreams?"

"Yes." Seeing Abel smile for the first time, the young Taylor was slightly relieved, "For my dream, I am willing to give everything, everything, anything!"

A small person, but his tone is decisive.

For the sake of being Taylor Swift...

Abel thought to himself, and then spoke.

"David, I think she is very suitable to be a superstar, at least in terms of character and courage. What do you think?"

He looked at David Geffen, and what he said surprised David a little.

David Geffen originally thought that Taylor Swift would be severely punished.

Unexpectedly, Abel would say that now. Gay Fern looked at Abel, and then at Taylor Swift, who hadn't opened yet but had very characteristic fox eyes.

Gayfen remembered some rumors in the circle that no one dared to shout about.

For example, Zizi Dun is addicted to sex like life, and he will never choose food when he is hungry.

For example, Zipper's wife likes to have a party, and she also likes to open it with Zipper.

Another example is a certain young guy from Texas who really likes...

David Geffen thought he got it.

Give Fern a smile: "Well, courage and character are indeed an important part of being a superstar. People without this kind of character will not be able to go too far on this road. I think Miss Swift is very good at this. In addition, BOSS, she also has excellent talents in composing and singing. Especially in composing, she is a creative seedling, and I am very optimistic about her."

Abel nodded with a chuckle, "That's it. List her as a key training and inspection object, and give her another contract."

"Okay." David Geffen felt that he understood, so he responded immediately.

Thinking of the parallel time and space, the future Taylor Swift has almost become the most profitable singer after MJ.

More importantly, she can always be popular and create.

Just holding concert tours around the world in a year can easily earn more than two hundred million US dollars.

Even without considering her own collection, she is indeed a future cash cow in music.

Thinking of this, Abel spoke again, this time to Taylor Swift.

"Your family has moved to Los Angeles? It's not easy to live in Los Angeles. It's not a pleasant thing to live in Los Angeles without money. The consumption level here is much higher than that in Nashville and Pennsylvania."

"In the contract, I will give you a signing fee of 1 million US dollars. I think this money will allow you and your family to stay happily in Los Angeles."

Hearing this, Taylor Swift is simply elated.

A signing fee of 1 million US dollars, 1 million US dollars!

This was a huge amount of money that she had never thought of. The contract she signed earlier had a signing fee of only 50,000 US dollars.

After the signing fee of 50,000 US dollars was received by her father, her parents were ecstatic.

She couldn't imagine how happy her parents would be after receiving a check for 1 million US dollars!

What makes Taylor Swift even more excited is that since Music DreamWorks is willing to give him a signing fee of 1 million US dollars, it proves that he attaches great importance to himself.

After that, I will definitely be able to get the company's key training and strong promotion in terms of music.

This, like the signing fee of 1 million US dollars, made her face turn red with excitement.

But she didn't want to think about it, how could there be such easy money?

With a signing fee of US$1 million, there are bound to be many restrictions and requirements in the contract, many of which are even the kind that tie her to death.

It's just that Taylor is still excited, and doesn't pay attention to these at all.

Abel did not continue to stay at Music DreamWorks.

At six o'clock in the evening, his motorcade left the Music DreamWorks.

In the car of the Cadillac monster, Abel said with a cold face, "I am a little disappointed with your performance today. It seems that you are a little lax."

What the boss said made Edward in the driver's seat and Johnson in the passenger's seat feel nervous and the atmosphere was too serious.

They know that the boss is angry today.

That nasty chick really killed them.

"call--"

Abel exhaled, and then said what he had done to them:

"Everyone who participated today, except you, everyone will deduct 10% of this month's salary and bonus. You 4, deduct 50%. I don't want this to happen again. Once there is, I think you understand of."

Edward and Johnson nodded quickly.

They all knew that although the boss was usually lenient, once angry and serious, his harshness would make any slave owner or factory owner before the Civil War feel ashamed.

Taking this opportunity, Abel simply launched an internal rectification, starting inside the rock security.

It was a bit of an excuse, but it also proved that he was really angry.

Entering late August, the whole of California is bathed in bright and bright sunshine.

After Abe got a lot of major shareholders of AMD Semiconductor, he signed a share transfer agreement and kicked out Jerry Sanders, the founder who might prevent the merger of AMD and Texas Instruments.

Since then, AMD has been dominated by the Abel family and has begun to delist.

Once the delisting is complete, it is AMD and Texas Instruments that will begin the work of merging.

At that time, a semiconductor company with a larger scale and more complete patent barriers will appear in the hands of Abel.

This is a pair of iron triangles created by Abel for the future mobile Internet.

Qualcomm, TI, AMD, communication patent technology, architecture design and semiconductor chip manufacturing process, a very complete prototype of semiconductor empire has been formed since then.

After getting this matter done, which is a major event for the future, his hard work in California has officially come to an end.

On the afternoon of August 25th, on the private tarmac of Los Angeles International Airport.

Wearing a T-shirt and shorts, Abel looked at the Boeing 747-8vip, his "Smith", which had landed and slid slowly on the runway, with a gentle smile on his face.

And behind him are a dozen black full-size Cadillac Escalade SUVs lined up side by side, and bodyguards with indifferent expressions are lined up around them.

Today is the day when his Han Guo Daqing.ren brought his first mixed-race son Adam Lee Smith, whose country name is Li Shiming, to the United States.

Han people are very traditional, especially big families, who usually use the same word when naming their peers.

Like Li Fuzhen's elder brother Li Rongzai, they are all from the generation of Zaizi, and they will always use a Zaizi in their names.

Li Rongzai and Li Fu are really the next generation, the "world", and they are asked to be placed in the middle.

Li Fuzhen over there is obviously very important now, as can be seen from the fact that her son is directly named Li Shiming.

However, this is generally used on boys who carry on the family line, and daughters' names are generally more casual.

Abel sent his private plane to Han Country to pick up Li Fuzhen, mother and son.

When the plane stabilized, a hanging ladder truck came quickly and set it up in front of the cabin door.

boom!

The cabin door was opened, and the first person to come down was a black female bodyguard next to Li Fuzhen. After looking down the hanging ladder, she turned around and returned to the cabin. Soon her black hair was curly, and her figure regained her curvaceous curves. The more prosperous Li Fuzhen walked out of the cabin wearing sunglasses.

The white tight vest highlighted her proud bust even more, and the sky blue elastic pants made her pair of long skirts more slender.

Standing under the hanging ladder, Abel raised his head and looked at Li Fuzhen who was walking down. Seeing the charming smile on the corner of her mouth, he also showed a happy smile. He took off his sunglasses, hugged her with open arms and walked down carefully. The Queen of the Kingdom of Han, who was hanging from the ladder, hugged her as if no one else was around, and hugged her tightly without getting up.

"Ahem, don't get in the way, the baby is coming down."

The kiss was extremely enthusiastic, and the two who quenched their thirst with each other were interrupted by the sound of coughing and complaining behind them.

Li Fuzhen rolled her eyes charmingly, and Abel also put down Li Fuzhen with a smile, and looked at the younger sister of the Li family who was standing on the hanging ladder wearing sunglasses.

Since little Laura returned to Dezhou to raise her baby, Li Xinyu followed her to stay in Dezhou for two days and couldn't stay longer.

Later, when she heard that Abel sent someone back to Han to bring her sister and "nephew", she volunteered to go with her.

This time we came back from Han Country together.

"Show me my little Adam, my boy."

With a smile, Abel, the mother holding the child, stepped forward to look at the child in the arms of his sister-in-law.

"Hmph..." Li Xinyu snorted softly, but still carried the child meekly, so that Abel could have a better look.

Abel reached out to take it, and saw the beautiful half-breed who was sleeping soundly.

Li Fuzhen looked at the tenderness and loving eyes on Abel's face when he saw her son, she couldn't help but put her arms around Abel's arm and said softly:

"I just finished drinking Nunai before. After playing for a while, I fell asleep when I was tired from playing. He won't wake up within two hours."

"Well, dear, thank you for your hard work." Abel held the child in one hand, looked at Li Fuzhen with gentle eyes, and said softly, and then the two kissed each other intimately.

The sister-in-law who had already directed the people and started to load the luggage on the car looked back at the two of them, and shook her head helplessly.

She felt that she and her sister were completely besotted.

Especially my sister, after having little Adam, her views on many things have become even more incomprehensible.

Will the child make such a big difference?

Then if I have his child in the future, will it change so much?

But last time, although little Laura took most of it, she also got a lot of it.

Little Laura was naturally pregnant, but she hadn't made any movement yet.

If it wasn't for her body being normal after the examination, she would have suspected that there was something wrong with her body.

She wouldn't doubt Abel. Because Li Xinyu knew that that guy had already impregnated many, many people.

The convoy sped out of the airport, onto Highway 1, and headed for Malibu.

This time Li Fu really came over for vacation and met Abel at the same time.

Naturally, where you live comfortably, Malibu Beach is a good choice.

In the carriage, Abel's right-handed sister and left-handed sister, the three of them have not stopped since getting on the car, even if there is little Adam who is sleeping beside him.

At this time, the modified Cadillac Escalade SUV, which is more spacious and huge than a car, is particularly important.
