America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 394 The reason why David Stern licked wildly
There are many places in the United States called Manhattan, which may be roughly equivalent to various "Chengguan Towns" in China.

It is said that there are 170 Chengguan towns in China, and in this regard, there are only a lot more places in the United States called Manhattan.

The most famous of course is Manhattan, New York.

So famous that in the eyes of most people, when Manhattan is mentioned, it refers to Manhattan Island in New York.

On the California side, there are dozens or hundreds of them in a place called Manhattan.

The smallest is a road in Southern California called Manhattan Road...

The most famous "Manhattan" in California is Manhattan Beach.

To the south of Manhattan Beach is El Segundo and to the north is Hermosa Beach.

It's not very far from Santa Monica Beach, but there are far fewer people coming here than Santa Monica Beach.

This is also the reason why many Hollywood stars prefer this place.

In fact, Manhattan Beach is far less beautiful than Malibu Beach.

The key is that it is close to Hollywood.

It takes about two hours to drive from Malibu Beach to Hollywood, and the traffic jams outside the city double on weekends.

From Beverly Hills to Manhattan Beach, it only takes half an hour by car without traffic jams.

It is also one of the famous wealthy areas in the United States.

Land and housing prices have great potential for appreciation.

Therefore, the new starting point real estate company also bought a dozen houses here a long time ago.

Abel was dubbed "the world's craziest luxury house buyer" by many major media, and it's not for nothing.

Having said that, Xinqidian Real Estate Company is not really a real estate company.

First of all, it has only been bought and not sold up to now, at most it has been rented out.

Secondly, the most important core competence of real estate companies - real estate development and construction, it is almost equal to nothing.

Under the new starting point real estate company, it doesn't even have the most important construction department of the real estate company...

Apart from cooperating with Ikana's company in New York on a super high-rise residential building project, there are no other projects under construction.

To be precise, Abel's positioning of New Start Real Estate Company is itself a real estate speculator and a tool for Abel to pick up girls.

Abel knew that by the end of 06, the real estate in the United States would double as a whole, and several times in individual regions.

It looks very much like Huaxia in 13-19.

This money is not earned for nothing.

What's more, things like houses are no matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, or even the animal kingdom.

It has always been one of the main tools used by males to attract females and allow them to propagate and expand genes for themselves.

The Manhattan Beach house where Abel and Anne are at the moment is located at 3120 Seaside Hotel Drive in Manhattan Beach.

7 rooms and 9 bathrooms, the interior building is 6699 square feet, and the land area is 9690 square feet if the private beach is not included.

Including the private beach, that adds up to more than 1.5 square feet.

At the end of 2000, the new starting point real estate company bought it for only 800 million US dollars.

Now its price in the market has nearly quadrupled.

It can only be said that whether it is the property market or the stock market, when the market is bullish, making money is really profitable.

Walk down the wooden trestle of the villa.

On the private beach, Abel took a DV and filmed running wildly like a child, and then posed various charming poses in front of him, showing her career line that was obviously much bigger than a year ago, youthful and invincible Appearance, quite beautiful.

Annie happily stepped on the water, stepped on the waves, and the sea water reached her waist. Abel flipped the DV and raised his arms. Annie snuggled into Abel's arms, raised her chin, and kissed Abel's cheek. At this time, she saw When the huge waves came, he ran away in fright, showing a frightened expression, and blew his white teeth on the top, which looked quite funny.

"Ha ha……"

Abel, who took pictures of all the expressions, laughed loudly, and Annie, who was embarrassed to avoid the huge waves, ran over with gritted teeth in embarrassment, jumped up, put her arms around Abel's neck, and lay on her back.

Abel supported her, while Annie lay on Abel's shoulder, biting Abel's ear, and said coquettishly, "Kill you to death..."

"Hehe." Abel carried her on his back and walked towards the beach. The DV in his hand kept taking pictures of the two of them. "Actually, if you want, I can fulfill your wish now."

"Bah! Big wolf!"

Annie, who was already well versed in this way, understood in seconds, and spat angrily, showing how much a white lotus had been polluted by Abel.

"There's a big rock over there, we can..."

"Pooh!"

Hearing Abel's proposal, Annie's foxy eyes sparkled, her pretty face blushed, and she bit Abel's shoulder with a look of shame, but she didn't refuse, instead she had some exciting expectations.

When the figures of the two disappeared on the reef, it didn't take long to hear Annie's exasperated and coquettish reprimand.

"Asshole, turn off the DV"

"Hehe, such a beautiful picture, it is natural to keep it as a souvenir..."

More than an hour later, in the evening, the warm sea reflected the gorgeous sunset.

Under the colorful umbrellas on the viewing platform of the wooden plank road of the villa, the mellow aroma of fine wine wafts out.

Abel put his arms around Annie, who was already asleep, and pulled the blanket that covered the two of them. Looking at the big orange fireball hanging above the sea level, it dyed the entire sky red, which was so beautiful that people were enchanted.

Bowing his head and kissing Anne's hair, Abel smiled dotingly.

The setting sun disappeared on the sea level, Abel lifted the blanket, stood up from the recliner, wrapped Annie in the blanket, hugged her horizontally, and walked into the bedroom.

"Ok?"

Annie, with a hint of tiredness on her pretty red face, opened her sleepy eyes, saw Abel's smile, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and closed her eyes again. For Annie, everything these days was like her paradise Life.

I really want to live like this forever, but after all, it is unrealistic.

Not to mention that Abel is so hardworking and busy.

Even now, after a while, Aymo Alamuddin, who went out to negotiate with BMW and Volkswagen on behalf of Abel today, may be back.

It has been half a year since BMW and Volkswagen were sued by the British Rolls-Royce Motor Group.

There is no doubt, because the venue of the appeal is the Supreme Court in London.

Plus Abel's influence over there.

As the saying goes, the referees are all my people, how do you compare with me?
Volkswagen and BMW are at a disadvantage in the lawsuit that has already been heard once.

According to the judgment, the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Group by Volkswagen and BMW is invalid and illegal.

As long as the Rolls-Royce Motor Group can pay the "ransom", that is, the funds at the time of the acquisition, and return it to the public, then freedom can be restored.

At that time, Volkswagen bought Rolls-Royce in the hands of the Vickers Group for 14.4 billion marks.

According to the exchange rate at that time, it was about 7.1 million US dollars.

If the judgment of the London House of Lords can be implemented, Volkswagen and BMW will not only lose Rolls-Royce, but also lose some money.

Because the current exchange rate is that the US dollar is stronger. 14.4 billion marks can now be exchanged for only 7 million US dollars.

In fact, the mark is almost out in Germany, and the euro is replacing the mark.

Even if inflation and commercial factors are not taken into account in this judgment, it will cost tens of millions of dollars.

Volkswagen and BMW naturally refused to accept it, mobilizing their connections and energy while appealing.

Rolls-Royce Aviation Engine Company, like Rolls-Royce, has started to put pressure on Rolls-Royce again to make Rolls-Royce Motors succumb.

Because of the Rolls-Royce engine, it has too many technologies that need to use the patents of BMW and Volkswagen.

The main body of the Rolls-Royce trademark is in its hands again.

They have already separated, so Luo Luo is too lazy to care about Rolls-Royce's life and death.

As long as it can continue to use BMW's technology patents.

In the acquisition case a few years ago, Rolls-Royce was able to be transferred around because of the threat from Rolls-Royce.

This time it was in danger, BMW and Volkswagen took this trick again.

It's just that this time, the Rolls-Royce Motor Group has Abel's backing.

Faced with Rolls-Royce's threats and pressure, this time Rolls-Royce Motors did not hesitate.

In this prosecution case, multiple parties are currently confronting each other.

Of course, Volkswagen and BMW also know who is behind the Rolls-Royce Motor Group.

After the last time in France, BMW and Volkswagen approached Abel again and wanted to talk to him.

Abel didn't see them this time.

He asked Allen and others to talk to people from BMW and Volkswagen.

And Aymo Alamuddin, as Abel's representative and the person who knew the lawsuit best, went to meet them.

"Okay. I'll clean you up later! I didn't enjoy myself just now!"

After Abel and Annie hugged each other affectionately, they said with smiles.

Annie, who was well aware of Abel's indomitable struggle, had a rosy glow on her fair cheeks, looked at Abel with winking eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "I, I'm not afraid of you!"

"Hehe, really? From then on, no matter how much you beg for mercy, I won't pay any attention to it. I want to see if you are afraid."

"Humph! Just wait and see!"

Annie, who was already full of mist in her foxy eyes, was full of spring, and said arrogantly with a dead duck mouth.

It's just that those long long moon legs couldn't help trembling slightly.

This made her very ashamed, but she couldn't help it. It's been almost two years since she was tortured by Abel, and her body already has a memory.

From spirit to body, it can be said that it is in the shape of Abel.

"Hehe, go to sleep."

Abel smiled lightly, reached out to hold her chin, kissed her red lips again, with a bright smile on his face, patted her on the back, helped her cover the quilt, left, and closed the door.

Back in the living room, sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and was about to read the text messages on the mobile phone. When Abel saw David beside him, he asked casually, "By the way, what did Stern say?"

Abel was asking David Stern and wanted to invite him to the All-Star Game.

But Abel refused, and asked if the NBA could arrange the Rockets' games to California in the near future, so that Abel could attend.

Hearing the boss's inquiry, David smiled slightly and said:

"Boss, Mr. Stern has already replied. He said that the Houston Rockets VS Memphis Grizzlies game on January 1 has been temporarily canceled due to safety hazards at FedEx Plaza, the home of the Grizzlies."

"The objects of the two teams' matches have been changed. The time for the Rockets' next game will remain the same, but the venue and team will be replaced by the Staples Center and the Los Angeles Lakers."

Abel raised his eyebrows and said with a smile, "Mr. Stern, you are very willing to spend your money..."

"Who can say otherwise." David smiled.

Abel also didn't expect that Stern would dare to risk the authority of the NBA league and change the game system in order to make himself appear on the NBA court.

Sure enough, he deserves to be the pioneer who single-handedly brought the NBA into the Big Four in the United States, and even the most influential person in the world.

Even Abel admired him for his courage and daring to do things.

It's just that it's normal for Stern to do this.

One is the richest man in the world, the super traffic king of the United States, one of the representatives of the pure Ansa white man, and one of the top Wall Street giants. The combination of these layers of identities is enough to make Abel a super baby in any industry that needs exposure.

Let alone the NBA.

Even in Major League Baseball or the National Football League, if the current Abel appears on the field, it will still cause a certain degree of sensation.

However, his influence is currently limited to the United States.

In the whole world, he does not have the status of a super traffic king.

Only the status of the world's richest man and super handsome.

The second is that the NBA league is dismantled and looked at. In its management, the Oilers can be said to cover the sky with one hand.

Of the 30 team owners, half are Oilers.

Stern himself is an oil man, and Abel's relationship with the oil man——

To some extent, the Oilers have already regarded him as one of the representatives of the new generation, or the future Anzafang.

Facing the Anza people with knives in their hands, the Ayou people have always been courteous and provide services.

The oil people's attitude towards Abel has basically been unified.

old fashioned.

Co-opt, corrupt, parasitize, just like they did to the older Ansar elite.

With this premise, Stern is happy to facilitate Abel's NBA career.

This is something that the bigwigs in their oil people will all smile about.

"January 1, right? Let's go. The NBA is so sincere. If you release pigeons again, it will appear that I am stingy." Abel smiled.

"Oh, that's right. Tell Michael, oh, it's Levin's Michael. Let Michael invite some celebrities and celebrities to participate. I've always been generous."

David smiled and nodded yes.

Only then did Abel pick up his phone and read the text message.

Those who can contact him by text message, except for special text messages with special effect requirements during special time periods.

The rest, mostly his women, sent him text messages.

Liv Tyler, the green tea girl, likes texting the most and is very good at playing tricks.

Next is Scarlett Johansson.

She was by far the youngest of Abel's women, younger than little Laura.

Liv's text messages are teasing Abel in different ways, and Scarlett Johansson's text messages are the most dense.

Abel would reply to them every day or two.

This made Abel miss the convenient WeChat.

He was already thinking about whether he should let Google get WeChat out of it.

Oh, in fact, the United States already has "WeChat".

MSN chant.

It's just that MSN is really hard to use, and the current technical conditions and network don't support the emergence of WeChat.

　Now a family of five has a five-month-old son who hasn't caught fire yet, and I don't know if it's the incubation period or if it's a worker chosen by God.

　　I don't have a high fever today, but a low fever with a sore throat.It took me four hours to figure this out, and I don’t have the strength to check for typos anymore. Please help me catch bugs if you see it, and I will modify it later, thank you.
