America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 381 Christmas is Coming

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

Walking is several times better than 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 Victoria's Secret here.

It's because of the Victoria's Secret here, after rejecting Abel's offer last year.

Because it was targeted in all directions by Elizabeth's back garden.The joint positioning, price and customer groups, etc., are all similar to Yisha Company.

But marketing ability... To be precise, it should be krypton gold ability, there is a world of 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 Internet information company, is considered by many to be a poor imitator of Isa's company.

It is considered to be a fake, a brand of underwear that copied Elizabeth's back garden.

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

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

The previous momentum of good development has been completely shattered.

Not to mention the serious injury now, but the way of marketing has been taken away by Isha.

It also comes in better and more outstanding cases than the original it did.

If Victoria's Secret still wants to develop.It may be necessary to have another traverser with a system in order to hope to do it well.

As for Abel's Elizabeth back garden, because it's on track.

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

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

Michael Levine is also just a normal work report.

After he finished his report, it was Alan Baker's turn next to him.

Alan Baker's first report to Abel was the task that Abel gave to the Smith Intelligence Group two days ago.

Two days ago, because Abel was in the AMC TV group, he met the Hurst sisters who came to work as temporary workers.

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

"...Hearst Media Group has performed poorly in the past two years."

After Michael Levine's report was over, Allen said softly:
"Because of the impact of the emergence of the Internet, many people began to look for the news information they wanted on the Internet. There has been no transformation, and the Hearst Media Group, which does not have an Internet module until now, has sales of its magazines and newspapers. had a huge impact."

“有资料数据显示。赫斯特传媒集团2000年的营收，比1999年降低了10%。1999年的营收，又比1998年降低8.9%。”

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

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

Abel nodded. He knew that the decline in revenue for many years was a terrible thing for any company.

It's okay to make less money for one or two years, and it's okay to lose money for one or two years.

But if you earn less and less for five or six consecutive years, or you have been losing money all the time.

That's a lot of trouble.

If a solution is not good, bankruptcy liquidation is really not far away.

Even if it is a century-old giant, or a century-old company.

"Except in this respect."

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

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

It can be regarded as 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 has several cousins, and all the cousins ​​have children.

If he has a physical problem and retires, it is impossible for other Hurst to have no idea.

Algebraically speaking, the Hearst family has been rich for three generations, so it can be called a wealthy family.

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

At this time, I was concerned only because the Hearst family's behavior was a little weird, so I asked someone to investigate.

At this time, after hearing what Alan said, he was prepared in his heart, so he stopped worrying about this matter.

But the situation of Hearst Media Group also made Abel sound the alarm.

"Smith Media's media, the Internet must go in front of everyone."

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

Alan Baker nodded yes.

The discussion is also over.

Time continues to move forward, not accommodated by people's will, nor changed by people's ideas.

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

As the largest city in the United States, New York almost turned into a sea of ​​red after December 12.

Red Christmas decorations are the color that dominates many stores and shopping malls.

In New York this year, after the 19th, there has been no snow.

Although the weather is a bit cold, near the zero line.

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

On the streets, there are people wearing Christmas costumes ostentatiously crossing the street, and most of the parents bring their children, or the whole family walks into the shopping malls together.

This is the authentic Christmas that Americans spend.

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

That is to say, some women just pretend to ask for gifts.Some men take the opportunity to harm girls.

Of course, the middle is mainly guided by many merchants.Who is the festival economy? It has always been a good time for businesses to make a profit.

If you listen to the merchants, they may wish to celebrate the holidays 365 days a year.

There are no holidays to celebrate, and you can create titles such as "the first cup of milk tea in autumn", "the first hot pot in winter", "the first barbecue in summer", "the first travel in spring" and so on.

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

Another hour, after it starts to get dark.

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

In the cabin of the Cadillac monster.

Abel watched the bustling scene along the way through the car window.

It can be seen that every storefront has been hung with garlands, and the doors and windows are all newly decorated. Some of the larger stores have also made Christmas windows.

To be honest, the atmosphere was similar to the Chinese New Year's Eve or the day before the New Year's Eve. It was festive, lively, and busy. Everyone, no matter adults or children, walked on the road with big bags and small bags, with happy faces.

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

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

In the Black Five war, what the hell is quality?

In the middle of the night, I started queuing up to wait for the mall to open the gates to release people, and then ran all the way, and started buying like crazy, just like the goods don’t cost money.

The degree of madness, as well as the hideous expressions on those people's faces, can be directly used to shoot Resident Evil Invasion without makeup. (If you are interested, you can watch the video of the Black Friday panic buying in the United States, it is very scary to watch)
In fact, Abel can't figure it out. With such a scene, there will be stampedes and personal injury incidents in shopping malls in many places every year.

Fighting for goods, fighting and tearing behaviors can be said to be everywhere.

As a result, in later generations, after China's economy developed, China's local tyrants began to sweep the world.

These Westerners, however, stood at a higher angle and laughed at the army of local tyrants in the Celestial Dynasty.

It's nothing more than envy and jealousy.After entering the 21st century, the economic downturn has caused ordinary people in the West to buy wildly during the discount season.

And the local tyrants who can go abroad lined up in a long queue to sweep up all the luxury brands.It is understandable for Westerners to get tired of crookedness, and the acid water will naturally spill out.After all, eating bran-swallowed vegetables by myself and looking at the delicacies of the "lower people" that I used to look down upon, it seems that I have much more money than myself, so it's no wonder I don't scold my mother...

Soon, Times Square arrived.

Now, on December 12th, Christmas Eve, a crowd of people can no longer describe the crowds near Times Square.

Fortunately, New York is one of Abel's home games, and today the New York Police Department is fully deployed.

Among them, 6% of the police force deployed in Manhattan was near Times Square.

Even if the media or someone doubts it, NYPD is fully justified.

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

Then they sent most of the police force to the busiest place 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, the time show of Isa's company started as scheduled that night.

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

Let this gentleman show up here, in front of the media.

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

What's more, even without considering this, the relationship between Cheney and the shrubs.Now that he was in New York again, it was difficult for him to refuse this small request from Abel.

In addition, this is the United States, let alone the deputy commander, even if the commander-in-chief shows up to watch the underwear show, it can barely be justified.

Have fun with the people.

So here comes Cheney.

That night, there were also a large number of top stars in the entertainment industry who appeared in the big show.

Like MJ and Britney Spears.

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

By this year, both had become DreamWorks singers.

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

Big-name singers, star dancers, backup singers, Angel Issa walked the catwalk in sexy lingerie.

Now that the audience thinks it is still very fresh, it can be said to be extremely powerful in harvesting ratings and eyeballs.

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 reported a global audience rating of 19.69 billion (the sum of historical data, including replays on demand), of which the US 24-hour audience rating was 2300 million.

Compared with this data, in 1998, the NBA Finals with the Bulls participating had about 30 billion viewers worldwide, and about 3600 million viewers in the United States.

Last year's Isa show, it can be said that it had 2/3 of the influence of the NBA Finals.

This year, because it is not so hasty, it has a longer time to promote, and last year's word-of-mouth blessing.

This year's Issa show was later reported to have been watched by 28 billion viewers worldwide and 2800 million viewers in the United States.

Of course, this is incomparable to the exaggerated data that the Super Bowl has hundreds of millions of viewers in the United States, and almost one-third of Americans are watching it.

After all, it was the "Spring Festival Gala" of the Americans.

If it was an underwear show, the ratings would be higher than that of the American Spring Festival Gala.

That requires everyone in the United States to have a serious and deep LSP, so it is estimated that there is hope.

But none of these Abel cared much.

After he attended the reception at the end of the Isa show that day.

In the middle of the night that night, he got rid of 25 mermaids who had been stalking him for days.

Board a Boeing 747 and return to Texas from New York.

Before the dawn, the darkest hour, returned to Smith Farm.

Strictly speaking, it's already Christmas time.

Alexander, the Sheriff of Tarrant, of course also returned home.

On Laomei's side, on Christmas Day, even the Grand Commander will stay with his family for the holiday.

If the commander-in-chief leaves his family behind to go to work on this day, the media may say that he does not value his family, and the public will resent him.

It can only be said that the national conditions are different.

It was around 2001 a.m. on Christmas Day 4 when Abel returned to Smith's Farm.

The Alexanders, the Alexs are sleeping.

But someone is waiting for him.

It was Charlize Theron, the mother of the Abel child.Knowing that he would come back at this time, she got up overnight to greet him.

Late at night, at the gate of Smith Manor.

Accompanied by two female bodyguards.

Charlize was wearing a light blue short shawl coat, which set off her excellent figure very conspicuously, and matched it with a bright yellow velvet knee-length skirt, a pair of black high boots, and her light golden hair with natural The undulating arc rests on the shoulders.Clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, and long eyelashes trembling slightly.

Abel walked over with a smile, and hugged her directly. Her fair skin suddenly revealed a faint pink, and her thin lips.His lips were caught immediately.

It took several minutes before she was let go.

The two of them clasped their fingers together and walked into the farm villa with white as the main color.

Whether it is decoration or furniture, it is full of Texas farm style, but the materials used are better and the decoration technology is better. It is worth a lot of money just by looking at it.

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

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

He is in his own home, occupying the best and largest room.

Compared with the villa, this house is relatively independent.

It has its own door, separating it from the rest of the Smith Farm estate.

In it, there are even 5 rooms that belong to him.

In the past, there was a master bedroom and a study room, and the master bedroom slept in the study room to draw and study.

The other rooms are left vacant for storage and other functions.

But now, in addition to the study, the other three rooms have been tidied up.

One was used by Charlize, another as a nursery, and a third as a guest room.

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

It may be that she has an agreement with little Laura.

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

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

This is his first child and also his eldest daughter, even if it is an illegitimate daughter, he still takes it seriously.

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.

Europeans and Americans are actually the same, which can be seen from the fact that their elite class is basically inherited by the eldest son.

The child is in the baby room, and there are two nannies in the baby room to take care of her, and they just rest in it. There are more than two people in the baby room 24 hours a day, taking care of little Alia.

The master and mistress appeared, and the two nannies woke up, standing by and watching them cautiously.

In front of the baby's bed, Charlize said softly: "I just fed my nai, I can sleep for about two hours, and then I'm hungry again. Then they will carry her to me to feed her nai."

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

The little guy is a month old.

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

The two eyes are tightly closed, like two lines; the two eyebrows are like two crescent moons, and the mouth is smiling, and I don't know what good things I dreamed.

"She's so pretty."

Maybe it really fits the sentence-children are good for one's own family, while wives are beautiful for other people's family.

For little Alia, Abel liked it more and more.

On the outline of her small face, he felt that he saw his own appearance.

Obviously, his eldest daughter looks a little more like his father in terms of appearance.

But it doesn't matter, he thinks that whether little Alia looks like himself or her mother, she will definitely not be ugly.

After looking at his daughter for a while, Abel pulled Charlize, who had gentle eyes like water, left the room and walked towards the stairs leading to the master bedroom on the second floor.

The master bedroom is easy to find. The one near the outer wall, when you open the door, there is a big Simmons about 3.5 meters long and 4 to [-] meters wide in the bedroom.

The bed was wrapped in tan leather, and the bed sheet and quilt were pure white.

These have all been replaced, it wasn't like this before.

It was the big Simmons who had been replaced when Abel came back last year.

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

"The bigger Simmons, the more girls!"

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

Look no further than this over-spec big Simmons.

The layout of the space in the room and whatnot, it's traditional Southern style as always.

Furniture and everything are lined up one by one, a separate balcony, and the entire part of 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, narrow and long fabric sofas are placed on the balcony outside.

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

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 to take a while before anything could happen.

"I've checked it. Because it was a normal delivery, coupled with the best conditioning and nursing, the recovery is very, very good."

"The doctors said there was nothing wrong with it."

Then there is nothing to say, after all, it has 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 began to be unshackled.

The light blue short shawl coat slipped on the carpet.

Then came the knee-length velvet dress in bright yellow, and then...

In the middle, little Alia was brought in, the little baby was hungry and wanted something to eat.

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

She also had no choice but to feel wronged and had a meal of milk powder.

Soon morning came and Christmas came.

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

Smith Farm Villa, in the corner of Abel's master bedroom.

The slightly open balcony partitioned the glass wall, and a cool breeze blows in from time to time, and a pair of Yisha's custom-made stockings were thrown by the wall.

On the soft wool carpet, some clothes and used tissues were lying on the floor, they had obviously undergone indescribable treatment.

The customized Super Simmons shuddered.

With Charlize's last wail.

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

In the bedroom, it finally fell into peace.
