America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 172 Continuing to expand the media territory

Anne Hathaway's mental journey in the past month.

Abel didn't know.

But she has often been in a daze for the past month, and sometimes seems very confused about this matter.

Abel knew it.

Those bodyguards staying by Anne's side.

Especially looking like an aunt, the female bodyguard Jin Na from Moscow.

Regardless of her current size, one can beat four or five men.

But when he was young, he was a professional trained in Yanzi.

Annie's slight change of mind could not escape Jin Na's surveillance.

Afterwards, Anne left alone, and went to the actor's guild to find opportunities.

In fact, it is also under the control of Abel.

He even authorized Jinna to mislead Annie to do that.

Even the audition director dared to make such an unreasonable request.

It was also done under the misleading methods of Jin Na.

People are not fools, Anne Hathaway is also a "Smith girl".

If it wasn't for Jin Na's operation, how dare he mention that kind of thing without knowing it.

Including after the incident, Jin Na contacted the Moscow gang in California and threw the other party's waist into the black community.

Abel knew the whole process and authorized it by default.

As for Anne's follow-up thoughts on some small things, Jin Na was quietly guiding them.

Swallow is a professional by birth, and everything is done very well.

When Abel came over, Annie had done her own psychological work.

Forget her distress and confusion for more than a month.

This made Abel have to give Jin Na's work an excellent rating.

In fact, including Charlize, Liv and others.

Those female bodyguards who look good at fighting and look ordinary.

In fact, they have all undergone similar training.

The content of the training is to let them control the psychology of the protected object while monitoring.

This is mainly because half of Abel's soul comes from China.

And the color of the hat that Chinese men hate the most.

It is the color of the hat that Annan monkey likes to wear most.

Inside Rock Security.

There is such a special small department dedicated to this work.

So far, this small department is doing well.

Anne Hathaway just had a semblance of a trend that was quickly interrupted.

For this reason, Abel has already praised the rock security department in private.

Jin Na was even more pleased to present a bonus check of US$[-].

Let them make persistent efforts, work hard, and maintain the internal harmony of the boss's Crystal Palace.

Although speaking of his habit, some people in the rock security who know it feel a little strange.

It's normal for them to feel that way.

After all, in the atmosphere of Europe and America, Abel's style of painting is really weird.

Fortunately, these people found it strange, but they didn't say much.

The boss is a super rich man, it's normal to have a little eccentricity.

The super rich, who doesn't have a quirk?
The key is that the salary given by the boss is high enough and the benefits are good enough, which can even be extended to the family.

Who would say no to dental insurance that ordinary jobs can’t afford?
So female bodyguards like Jin Na work very hard.

Invisibly, a big net caught the women Abel had his eyes on.

When Anne gets rid of the very tiring yoga time and regains consciousness again.

It was already that night.

Lying on the soft Simmons, Annie opened her eyes and regained her sobriety.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Abel walking towards her while taking off her clothes.

The girl from New Jersey suddenly changed her voice in fright.

"Ah? Come again! My dear, I don't want to do yoga anymore. Woohoo, I'm so tired. And my legs are numb and swollen."

"That can't be done. I just came back from the outside. For things like yoga, you have to persevere, you just have to persist."

"Good, be obedient."

When Annie is really fully awake, and there is no Abel around to force her to do yoga.

It was already noon the next day.

"Hmm~"

With a cry, Anne Hathaway, who was curled up in the soft bed, woke up with her eyes open.

Just after waking up, she habitually touched her side.

Sure enough, it was the same as before, never touching him.

The combat power is not equal, and even the time to wake up cannot be carried out at the same time.

She looked outside the quilt with some trepidation. In the messy bedroom, she did not see him.

This made Annie breathe a sigh of relief.

Finally no need to continue doing yoga.

Although doing yoga is very comfortable, it is also very tiring.

Even get hurt!

Thinking of this, Annie struggled to sit up on the bed.

She just felt as if her whole body had been torn apart, her hands and legs were sore and numb.

This is a sign of overdoing yoga.

She struggled to move a few steps, picked up the phone from the bedside table, and pressed the number one button to dial out as usual.

In most hotels, the number one key of the landline in the guest room has different functions.

But for Annie, it doesn't matter which hotel she stays in.

Dial the number [-] key on the hotel telephone.

Jin Na, her personal life assistant and female bodyguard, can be reached as quickly as possible.

This is because every time she stays in a hotel.

The room she lives in will be checked by rock security personnel.

During the inspection, by the way, the phone was replaced with Rock Security's own phone.

"Hello~ Jinna, are you there? I'm so hungry, bring me a suit of clothes and food."

"Ok."

There came the calm voice of Jin Na, a former member of the Swallows and now an employee of the special female department of Rock Security.

Annie put down the phone in peace and only waited for a few minutes.

I saw the burly Jin Na, bringing in another female bodyguard, Anna, with clothes and food.

The two female bodyguards were familiar with the smell of heather that filled the room.

Every time the boss came over, Miss Anne's room would be filled with this smell.

Sometimes even if it is ventilated, it often takes a day or two to disperse.

Jin Na secretly asked her hometown, and it is said that there are witches who have researched in this area.

Only the strongest men, said the witch.

Only then can the room be filled with that smell.

Jin Na felt that the boss should be such a man.

With the help of two female bodyguards, Annie finished brushing her teeth, washing her face, and eating on the bed.

After changing into a set of more casual home clothes, Annie left the bedroom full of heather smell.

Come to the bedroom.

Anne was so tired that she didn't want to move or go out.

Anyway, it was vacation time, so she decided to stay in the hotel and wait for Abel to come back.

But bored alone, she asked Jin Na to help turn on the TV.

There are three types of television stations in the United States: public stations, cable stations, and paid stations.

2000 now.

There are five public television stations in the United States, namely CBS, ABC, Fox, NBC, and PBS.

Among them, CBS, abc, and NBC are the earliest three traditional public television stations.

From 86 to the early 90s, Fox gradually established a television network covering more than 90% of the United States.

in parallel time and space,
2006 years later.

Time Warner's WB Television merged with UPN to form The CW Television, making it the sixth largest public television network.

At this time, WB TV and UPN are not yet at the level of TV networks.

Today, among the five public television networks, four are commercial television networks that rely on advertising for their livelihood.

The last PBS is a public institution, non-commercial, with the purpose of fostering the development of public broadcasting.

It is probably equivalent to CiciTV, which has a weak political status.

As for the difference between cable stations and toll stations, it is even more complicated.

Like the head of Abel's think tank team, Alan Baker negotiated the acquisition of AMC TV station, which is a typical cable station.

In terms of pay stations, they are those special TV stations that LSPs all over the world love to see.

24 hours a day, at least [-] hours are playing mosaic images.

Intercontinental Hotel, the TV set in this top five-star hotel room.

Except for the special paid stations, all other TV stations are naturally full.

In addition, if necessary, those who charge can also be viewed here.

It's just that there is an additional charge, and it's enough to pay the hotel.

Annie was alone, with two female bodyguards sitting beside her chatting with her.

Of course she couldn't possibly go to the pay booths.

She also watched it two or three times when she was hunting with Abel, and imitated some of the content above.
What she is watching now is a channel under the FOX TV network.

FOX owns 29 television stations and more than 240 channels, covering 90% of households in the United States.

I have to say that Murdoch is indeed very skilled.

As an Australian, but under the monopoly of the three old TV networks.

He opened up this situation abruptly and became one of the media giants in the United States.

It belongs to the kind that is really capable in this industry.

Annie watches this channel under FOX.

It is a TV channel that specializes in broadcasting entertainment news, focusing on Hollywood gossip and Beverly Hills anecdotes.

Of course, sometimes Hollywood or American showbiz.

When there is any big news, it will also report it.

On weekdays, Annie likes to watch this station the most.

Her original Hollywood dreams and star dreams.

It was only after watching the glamorous lives of those teenage stars on this TV station that I aroused my longing.

During this period of time, what this channel is broadcasting are all things about teenage stars and teenage stars in Hollywood.

Very gossip and frothy, but still young Anne.

Even though she is already in this circle, she still likes to watch these unnutritious things.

[.Britney Spears suspected that she and Justin were at odds, and was filmed by a media reporter. She stormed out of Justin's car]

inside the channel.

The female gossip news host was broadcasting in a relaxed and teasing tone.

Suddenly a male host appeared on the screen, took the microphone of the female host, and began to say:
[Play an interstitial message. 】

[This station has received the latest notification. The super tycoon of Wall Street, the founder of Storm Smith, the boss of MGM movies, the tycoon who came to Hollywood from Wall Street, and the spokesman of Abel Smith, David Jones, announced to the public not long ago Two messages. 】

The male host's voice is fast and dense, but it can be heard clearly by the audience.

The basic skills of broadcasting are very strong.

[The first message is:]

[ab Smith Entertainment under the name of Mr. Abel Smith announced to the public that Mr. Smith has fully acquired AMC TV station. 】

[It is said that the transaction involves an amount of about 15 billion US dollars. 】

[Subsequently, Rainbow Entertainment, the original controlling shareholder of AMC Television, confirmed the news. 】

[Rainbow Entertainment claims that they have received a deposit of US$1.5 million from Mr. Smith, and the transfer agreement has officially come into force. 】

[Another piece of news concerning Mr. Abe Smith. 】

[It was today that Mr. Mike Richardson, the founder of Dark Horse Comics, the largest independent comic company in the United States, claimed that Dark Horse Comics had been fully acquired by MGM. 】

[The amount involved in the acquisition is 2.1 million US dollars. 】

[This figure is a little more expensive than Mr. Smith's acquisition of Marvel. 】

【.This station will invite Mr. xxx and Mr. OOO to analyze these two matters】

[Interested viewers can]

【.】

Seeing this, Annie looked at Jinna with some joy.

"Honey bought a TV station?"

"Oh, AMC, I have seen their show! And my dear bought the dark horse too! Now only DC is left!"

Jinna wanted to roll her eyes.

She felt that her protected object had a good temper, good looks and good figure.

But sometimes it is really childish, such as the tone when I was on the phone with Abel before.

Jin Na didn't answer Annie's current question at all.

This is her personality in front of Annie, a silent, stable and reliable powerful female bodyguard.

In contrast, another female bodyguard who does not belong to the special department for women.

It's more talkative.

Annie also knew Jin Na's "temper", and soon chatted with the female bodyguard.

"Amc's programs are average. TV dramas seem to be average."

"Dark Horse Comics' comics and comic-adapted movies are very successful!"

"But I think they will be different immediately after they are acquired by my dear!"

"Anna, help me think about it. For the comics of Dark Horse Comics that haven't been adapted into movies, what female characters are suitable for me to play?"

"Also, Anna."

"."

Anne and the female bodyguard Anna were happily discussing the big money of MGM and ab Smith Entertainment.

Abel himself, has left Los Angeles.

He ran to Palo Alto, which is under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Palo Alto, which is adjacent to Stanford University to the west, is the center of Silicon Valley and has many high-tech companies.

It was Leland Stanford, the founder of Stanford University, who helped create the economic development of Palo Alto.

At the same time, Palo Alto is also one of the most expensive cities in the United States.

Abel has been to this place once.

The last time Abra came here, it was mainly to buy shares in IDEO.

Many Chinese people don't know the existence of this company.

Let's put it this way, a lot of things in the few versions of Tesla cars after the front page were designed by this company!

After the old American horse took over Tesla, IDEO has undertaken a large part of Tesla's design work.

After all, the old American horse is not the real Iron Man, it's just a human design.

You let him engage in programming, programming or something.

Maybe his sword is not old yet, and he can still do it.

But you want him to design new energy core patented technology, or aerospace core patented technology.

Then you are embarrassing the old horse.

On the surface, IDEO seems to be involved in different fields.

However, after all, they are in the center of Silicon Valley, next to either high-tech companies or Internet companies.

It works as a design company, a creative company.

Compared with other peers, it will naturally be more partial.

IDEO is more inclined to the design of the Internet and electronic technology.

When Abe came last time, at the beginning the three founders of IDEO disagreed with his valuation.

But the Internet winter has not yet passed.

Ninety-nine percent of Internet startups in Silicon Valley are dead.

The three founders of IDEO did not want the company to die like those companies.

They eventually agreed to Abel's valuation, making Abel one of the company's majority shareholders.

After that, IDEO also got a design proposal from Abel.

Abel came here this time just to see for himself how IDEO is doing.

As the major shareholder of the company, increase the dual identity of customers.

There is also a super rich, newly promoted first-generation Internet and media traffic king.

Abel's arrival naturally caused a sensation in IDEO.

The founders of the three companies, Mike Nato, Bill Morgridge, and David Kelly were naturally present and accompanied them in person.

It is even said that the management of some other high-tech companies and Internet companies who are also in Palo Alto.

After hearing the news, I was also on my way to IDEO.

In the archives inside IDEO.

Abel saw some sketches of the plan that he handed over to design here.

The first is a large picture of the exterior design, which was printed and modified with some pencils.

Looking at this sketch, it should be born out of some products that already exist now, with some sci-fi concepts added.

Abel picked it up directly and tore it into pieces in the eyes of the three founders of IDEO.

In the surprised eyes of the three, he was expressionless:
"I gave IDEO millions of dollars to design. I also injected money to bring you back to life. Is this how you put me?"

"Such a design drawing can be made by any student who graduated from fine arts, right?"

Seriously, Abel was a little pissed off.

This is mainly in his memory, the IDEO company in the parallel time and space is very bad.

The first-generation Tesla has their contributions, and many domestic home appliance brands and electronic brands in China have become more and more beautiful and fashionable in design.

IDEO is also involved.

This made Abel subconsciously think that IDEO should be the best creative design company in the industry.

But he didn't take into account that it was still 2000.

IDEO is indeed a very good company in the industry, but it is still a start-up company.

At the same time, Abel's aesthetics in this area is more than 20 years ahead.

On the outside, IDEO couldn't design anything that met Abel's requirements.

In fact, it is normal.

Seeing his expressionless face, the three founders of IDEO fell silent.

To be honest, they really have a little perfunctory meaning.

But now, they know that if they continue to perfunctory, something will happen.
