America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 260 The Ripples of the City of Angels

June 11.

In the afternoon, the schedule of the 2001 F1 American Grand Prix came to an end.

The winner of this year's Formula 1 car in the United States is Hakkinen of the McLaren team, who is also a top racer.

Schumacher, the only one Abel knew and who already had the car king, only took No.2.

As for Abel's two teams.

One is that there are no excellent racers, and the other is that the racing car itself and other supporting facilities cannot keep up.

Abel's acquisition time is too short, and there is no time to carry out rectification and krypton gold.

This time I came to accompany you for a run.

The game is over.

Li Xinyu and Little Laura will naturally go back to New York to study.

This time, the two of them invited for almost a week, and it would be impossible not to go back.

Abel did not return to New York with them.

He is going to Los Angeles.

According to the original plan, Li Fuzhen also went to New York with her sister.

Li Fuzhen came to America this time to cultivate herself, and to accompany her sisters by the way.

She has two younger sisters in New York.Li Xinyu is the youngest, with a second older sister on top.

Li Fuzhen's other younger sister is studying at the Perth Institute of Fashion Design in New York.

But Li Fuzhen called home.

Not long after that, Li Xinyu received news from her family.The family told Li Xinyu that Li Fuzhen, the eldest sister, had a mission and could not accompany her back to New York.

Li Xinyu didn't think much about it. Under Abel's arrangement, she and little Laura got into another second-hand Gulfstream G400 of Abel and were sent back to New York.

As soon as they boarded the plane, Abel took Li Fuzhen into his arms and boarded another Gulfstream G400.

These two Gulfstreams are free replacement aircraft provided by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation to Abel.

After the two more advanced Gulfstream G450s that Abe ordered from Gulfstream leave the factory, they will be returned.

Of course, during Abel's own use.

Naturally, Abel had to pay for the maintenance and expenses of the plane.

Gulfstream G400, in the big soft sofa inside the plane.

Abel hugged Li Fuzhen, who was feeding him grapes.

It's serious eating grapes, not that kind of eating grapes.

Although that kind of eating grapes, Abel didn't eat less these two days.

"Samsung Group accounts for 20% of Han Country's total GDP, but your family holds less than 2% of the shares."

"Foreign investors accounted for 57.1 percent of common shares."

Abel looked at Li Fuzhen, and while eating grapes, he chuckled and said:
"Your family is working for foreigners, especially Wall Street."

Among the 57.1% shares held by foreigners in the Samsung Group, more than 80% of the shares are held by US investment institutions.

Especially on Wall Street, financial institutions such as Citigroup and Bank of China each hold a high proportion.

The shareholding ratio of domestic institutional investors in Han country is only 19%.

The shareholding structure of preferred shares that can give priority to money distribution is even more exaggerated.

89% of the preferred shares are held by foreign investors, and only 10.2% of the preferred shares are held by domestic investors and major shareholders.

This means that Samsung Group earns money, if it wants to share dividends.

Those who can get dividends first, nearly [-]% of the shares are foreigners.

To put it simply, the Samsung Group has made money, and it must first distribute it to foreigners, which is close to [-]%.

After this part of the money is distributed, it will be the turn of the Hanguo investors and the Li family who have ordinary shares.

Of course Li Fuzhen knew all these things.

But even her father resigned to his fate.

She is a marginal person among the marginal people in her family, what can she do about it?

What's more, the Li family can't make much money, but they can also rely on the huge influence of the Samsung Group.

Being domineering in the country of Han, what should be enjoyed is also not left behind.

It can be said that he is luckier than 99.99999% of Han people.

"After all, if I didn't choose that way at the time." Li Fuzhen said: "Samsung Group may have gone bankrupt long ago."

What Li Fuzhen is talking about here is what happened during the financial crisis in Han country in 97.

Under the circumstances at that time.

All the big businesses in Hanoi are captured by Wall Street.

For those local chaebols who dominate the peninsula, all that is left is the management and control of the company, as well as the local influence on the country.

"Tell me." Abel reached out and stroked Li Fuzhen's beautiful face, "With my support, what will you do when you return to Han Country?"

"It depends on what identity I am returning to Han Country."

Li Fuzhen was very organized, when his fingers passed by her mouth, her winking eyes were sucked in like silk.

"Is it identity?"

Abel enjoys her sincere service, "The major shareholder of Wall Street, and an independent director on the board of directors of Samsung Group. How is this status?"

"It couldn't be better." Li Fuzhen released his fingers and spoke softly:
"If that's the case, I'll first be in the Samsung group and observe it carefully for a month or two. After I find out the outstanding points, I'll ask for some real power in the name of a director, such as becoming the controller of an important subsidiary. "

"My father's control and penetration of the Samsung Group, even Wall Street can't do anything. I can only invade step by step like this."

Li Fuzhen's plan, Abel nodded slightly.

It's mainly the Li family, or the Han people are too obedient.

Unless Abel can completely say what he says on Wall Street.

Otherwise, it would be the same to the outside world if Li Fuzhen came to power or her old father continued to serve.

Because from the beginning to the end, those so-called big chaebols and big companies in the country are just American companies in the skin of the country.

9% of the profits they earn flow to the European and American world, most of which are owned by Wall Street.

The remaining [-]% are not natives of Han Country.

Many will continue to be used as the company's own funds and R&D expenditures.

The chaebols who dominate the peninsula are just wage earners on Wall Street.

"That's it." Abel thought for a while, then said:

"I will continue to acquire some shares of Samsung Electronics and other companies. After more than 5%, you can go back."

In 2001, the Samsung Group was already in the embryonic form of a technology giant, but fortunately it was not as powerful as it will be in the future.

At this time, the Samsung Group, their stocks are easy to buy on the Wall Street market.

Wait until around 2010, the mobile Internet began to go online.

The status of Samsung Group became more and more important. At that time, its profit value and market value also skyrocketed.

At that time, it became the treasure of Wall Street.

At that time, it was not so easy to buy a large amount of shares in Samsung Electronics.

This kind of company that pays dividends twice a year, with tens of billions of dollars each time, can only be done by Samsung, which has the right to operate.

Like Apple, which earns so much money, it pays a dividend of less than one dollar a year.

During the same period, the Samsung Group earned less than half of Apple's profits.

However, the money that Samsung pays dividends every year is as high as Apple for more than ten years.

Among other things, buy a large number of Samsung shares and leave them alone. The annual dividend alone is a huge number.

From Indianapolis, fly to Los Angeles, usually around four and a half hours.

Abel's Gulfstream G400 took off around five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening when it arrived in Los Angeles.

During this time period, night had already fallen, and the City of Angels was as brightly lit as ever.

Although there is no row upon row of high-rise buildings in New York, the lights on Beverly Hills still announce the prosperity of the city.

In the back of a low-key modified Cadillac Escalade in the middle of the Beverly Hills-bound convoy.

The raised partition blocks the view of the cab.The enhanced sound insulation material prevents the outside world from capturing even the slightest sound from the rear compartment.

Only the stable chassis of the vehicle, because of some powerful shock movements, caused slight vibration ups and downs.

It indicates that the battle situation in the rear is fierce and unsettled.

With the excited gasp, it gradually became lower.

After modifying the rear compartment of Cadillac Escalade, it finally became completely quiet.

A few minutes later, the sound of getting dressed was heard again.

Perhaps because it was too intense before, the tailor-made high-end suit was crumpled a little.

The latest Chanel dress, too, is in danger of falling apart.

"Next time I fly with you, I must change to a bigger plane."

While arranging his clothes, Abel sized up Li Fuzhen, who was half covered with clothes, with satisfied eyes.

The Gulfstream g400 is actually not that big, how big can a plane that can only carry 16 passengers at most.

Generally speaking, there will be no separate rooms on this small and mid-size business jet unless specifically designed to do so.

Some don't even have independent beds, at most they are just a big sofa.

The Gulfstream G400 provided by Gulfstream Aerospace to Abel is this popular model.

Want to play a private bedroom on the plane, you can even have a bathroom bathtub, and even run around with a car in it.

Then you must use a large aircraft, such as Abel's Boeing 747, which can do all the above.

It's a pity that in order not to attract attention, Abel took the Gulfstream G400 to the DC area first, and then flew from the DC area to Indianapolis.

He also didn't use his Boeing 747.

"I'm so tired~ The place here is too narrow." Li Fuzhen's voice was hoarse after XX.

There is an indescribable sense of temptation.

After wiping off the things that had to be left on the face because of forgetting to do some measures.

In the rear compartment of the Cadillac, in front of a custom-made vanity mirror specially prepared for female passengers, Li Fuzhen reattached the suspenders of the dress carelessly while checking her makeup.

"I've seen the news." Li Fuzhen's eyebrows were shining, her eyes were charming and gentle, and her voice was slightly hoarse, "It's news from the United States. It seems that my dear, you have a big plane? It seems to be a Boeing 747. In our country, there is There are not many private jets."

None of the Li family.

Senior wage earners, what kind of private jet do you want?
Fortunately, the peninsula chaebols can use another way to travel. Without private jets, they can occupy the airline's flights.

Carefully observe the words of bullying incidents that appeared on the news by the rich second generations of the peninsula chaebols.

It can be surprisingly found that many of them happened on the flights of Asiana Airlines, Dahan Air and other airlines.

After getting dressed, Li Fuzhen lowered the curtain of the car window on the side she was on, and she looked out the window.

Li Fuzhen found that the vehicle was already driving on the middle of the mountain.

From the heights, you can see the Beverly Hills mansions and villas in the middle of the mountain.

There is also the brilliant night view of Los Angeles in the distance.

Of course Li Fuzhen has been to Beverly Hills and lived in a mansion in Beverly Hills.

Even senior workers are not comparable to ordinary people.

She recognized Beverly Hills in front of her at a glance, and knew that Abel had taken her to a certain villa.

In fact it is.

The convoy came to Beverly, 9425 Sunset Blvd.

This is a luxury house hoarded by New Start Real Estate Company in Los Angeles.

Such luxury houses, in Beverly Hills, the new start company has stockpiled more than [-].

It cost Abel about [-] million U.S. dollars.

But in just over three months, the appreciation of these two dozen houses alone has made New Start Real Estate earn at least 15%.

After the new leader came to power, the United States began to ease the economic policy, and a large number of dollars poured into the market. The U.S. real estate industry rose accordingly, and the U.S. real estate bull market has already made great strides.

At this time, New Start Real Estate will certainly not sell the house.

Real estate will continue to rise in the future. If you hold these houses in your hands and sell them in four or five years, you can earn at least ten times.

Of course, in order to save money, earn some money to pay land taxes.

New Start Real Estate after getting Abel's consent.

It rents out some of the more than two dozen Beverly mansions that are relatively small in size and relatively low in price.

Use the rent earned to subsidize the exaggerated land tax.

Those beautiful mansions with better locations, larger areas, or well-built buildings, of course, will not be rented out.

They are the golden houses that Abel puts up in Beverly Hills.

It can be used as temporary accommodation when needed.Of course, it can also be used to hide the charm.

Like this mansion on Sunset Boulevard, it is one of the better located and bigger houses.

The home sits on 1.14 acres and has 9 bedrooms, 14 and a half bathrooms.

The spacious main house is equipped with two independent reception living rooms. There is a tennis court in the south of the villa, a home theater with surround sound system, which can accommodate 15 people to sit and watch movies and four other viewing areas.

There's also a well-equipped fitness center, bar, and staff quarters.

When New Start was purchased late last year, it was worth only $2000 million.

In the past six months, it has been worth at least 2500 million US dollars.

The price of high-end real estate in the United States during the golden age of the real estate bubble was so exaggerated.

Li Fuzhen got off the car and stepped into the courtyard of the villa.

The air in the courtyard is fresh, and the flowers are full of fragrance. Under the elegant and unique pergola, she feels that reading there during the day will definitely be a good enjoyment.

From the first sight, Li Fuzhen fell in love with this villa.

She felt that living here would be very comfortable.

The villa has a spacious and beautiful outdoor swimming pool, just next to the outdoor tennis court.

At night, the swimming pool lights are fully turned on, and the light ripples in the blue pool, which is very dreamy.

The climate in the City of Angels at the end of June is very comfortable, even at this late hour it is neither too hot nor too cold.

Abel suggested: "How about our swimming? I think this pool is very beautiful."

Li Fuzhen felt the same way, she agreed in her heart, but she said, "I didn't bring a swimsuit."

"It's just the two of us swimming, what swimsuit do we need? I'll ask all the staff to stay away."

In fact, it only takes half an hour at most for the rock security staff in the villa to deliver a suit of swimsuits that fits Li Fuzhen.

It's just that Abel originally wanted to be here and continue to enjoy this cool young lady of the Li family, Han Guo's superb wealth and wealth in the world.

Watching a naked mermaid swim in the swimming pool is also a pleasure.

Li Fuzhen understood what he meant, and cast a charming glance at him, fully grasping the charm of a mature woman.

Soon, in half an hour.

In the outdoor pool at 9425 Sunset Blvd, Beverly Hills.

Following Li Fuzhen's muffled snort, the beautiful warm water in the whole pool under the lights began to ripple, and the waves circled and circled from the center to the outside, knocking against the walls of the pool continuously.

On a clear night in Beverly Hills, it looks extraordinarily clear and charming.

The next day, Li Fuzhen was like any other woman.

The biological clock was completely disrupted by someone, and the body was exhausted and could not wake up.

Abel, on the other hand, woke up at seven o'clock under the punctual work and rest in the biology.

Able woke up and patted Li Fuzhen, who hummed a few words in Korean that Able couldn't understand.

".."

""

Abel didn't understand either, so he smiled and casually covered the air conditioner next to her.

Then get up, wash up, and go out to have breakfast in the sunny dining room next to the living room.

After breakfast, come to the courtyard by the pool.

Two burly rottweilers were already waiting for him.

This is Abel's Dreamworks and Marvel.

After they saw Abel, they were very excited and ran to him, jumping and jumping, very happy.

These two Rottweilers originally flew around with Abel.

Later, the dog trainer said that this is not conducive to their stable character. During their stable character period, it is better to use a fixed environment to let their character settle down.

In this regard, Abel naturally believed in experts, so he let the two puppies stay in Los Angeles for training.

Another two months passed.

Their personality stabilization period has passed, and their personality has stabilized.

At this time, it is not afraid to fly around with them again.

"Hahaha~"

"Dreamworks, Marvel. Let's go, let's go swimming."

Holding a dog in one hand, Abel led them to the pool, laughing and pushing them all down.

After eight o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, after the sun rose, it was not cold at all.

Abel also took off his clothes and jumped into the pool.

He played with the two puppies for a while.

Edward, wearing sunglasses, walked to the pool.

"BOSS. Your Harvey Weinstein is here," Edward said.

"Oh?" Abel said casually, "Then let him in."

Edward sent someone to deliver the message.

After a while, Harvey Weinstein, a fat man with serious dark circles, came to the pool.

The fat man didn't dare to speak when he saw Abel swimming in the pool, so he stood by the pool and smiled.

As if he didn't see Harvey Weinstein, Abel continued to play with the two dogs.

He had amazing physical strength, exhausted playing with the two dogs in the swimming pool, and lay on the edge of the swimming pool with his tongue out.

Abel still only felt that he had just warmed up.

And it's been almost half an hour.

Harvey Weinstein was beside him, and he also basked in the sun for almost half an hour, sweating all over his body and head.
