America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 482 A Name Is Worth 200 Billion Dollars

Watch Abel hang up the satellite phone.

1 San Mateo Rd., Corona del Mar, Santa Barbara.

In the living room, Ted Lerner couldn't help but said after all:

"Dear Abe, is that what Warren Buffett agreed to?"

Abel shrugged at him and tossed the satellite phone to Edward beside him.

This is Abel's private number mobile phone.

Only a few business allies, his relatives and women could break in.

Usually kept by David or Edward.

Abel walked up to Paris and didn't shy away from Ikana's father at all. He sat down and immediately hugged the pregnant Princess Hilton.

"It's not like you didn't hear. $20 billion, 10% of the shares. Haha, technically. I've made $17 billion now. This company, Tesla Inc., is worth at least $200 billion now. "

Holding the plump Paris after pregnancy, Abel said with a light smile.

Paris was still a little embarrassed.

Because when she first got close to Ikana, she was already very familiar with the Lerner family.

At that time Ikana was already Abel's girlfriend, although only one of them.

Now in front of Ted, being held by Abel like this.

She always had a sense of embarrassment in front of Abel's real wife's father.

Even if she actually knows, Ikana is not a real card, but the same character as her.

It's just that Ikana is more favored and has a higher status in Abel's heart.

Ted didn't seem to see his son-in-law hugging other women at all.

The real estate businessman said enthusiastically:

"Wow, this is really amazing! 3 million US dollars, two years into 200 billion market value, and Buffett's approval. This kind of thing, only you can do it!"

Comparing his heart to his heart, Ted Lerner thought of what happened in the past few years.

Back then he was behind the scenes and his daughter Ikana was in the foreground.

With the full support of him and the Lerner Group, he promoted the development of the entrepreneurial "Miss Ikana" clothing brand.

That is what happened to the "YKM" clothing under Ikana's current name.

YKM clothing was very successful at the beginning, and in a few years it has achieved a market value of nearly 20 billion US dollars.

This gave Ikana, among the young generation of wealthy families in New York and even the United States, a sense of déjà vu similar to "other people's children".

But what about the actual situation?

Later, because Ted Lerner's own company encountered cash flow problems.

He had to withdraw his support for YKM and even withdraw his investment to avoid another bankruptcy of the Lerner Group.

As a result, YKM, which originally had a market value of 20 billion US dollars, could not even survive the market value of 2 billion US dollars when it conducted the second round of financing.

If it hadn't been for the birth of Abel, Ikana would have been decisive.

Resolutely sell yourself to...

Then Abel made a move and took over the shares of those shareholders.

Whether there is still YKM is a question...

And in YKM back then, Ted Lerner invested hundreds of millions of dollars in real money to support it.

As a result, it took a lot of work for several years, and the market value was only 20 billion US dollars at its highest.

Later, it simply ended in embarrassment, no money was made, and tens of millions, even almost hundreds of millions of dollars were lost.

Comparing it with the Tesla made by Abel, one can imagine the emotion in Ted Lerner's heart.

To know the market value of 200 billion US dollars recognized by Buffett, it will already be recognized by more than 70% of investors in the market.

Add Abel Smith, and 100% of investors will agree.

Unlike the original YKM, which sounds nice to say, with a market cap of $20 billion.

If you really want people to spend money to invest, except for the gangsters who were taken advantage of at the beginning, there will be no new fools willing to enter the market! !
Seeing Ted's envious expression, and the admiring expression of Paris beside him.

Abel thought for a while, and suddenly said softly:

"So, Ted. Do you have any interest in Tesla?"

"Huh?" D. Ted Lerner was startled.

"Are you interested in participating in the first round of financing? I can give you up to 1% of the share, but it must be guaranteed to be your own investment."

Abel said generously.

Ted Lerner was, after all, a well-known businessman in New York.

Now because of the hype and my own reasons.

Compared with the parallel time and space, he is more famous and richer.

If Ikana, her father, joins in, it will help Tesla's marketing from a side point of view.

Plus Ikana, the reason why I just gave birth to a pair of twins for Abel.

Loved by the house, Abel decided to give her dad a hand.

Anyway, in Abel's mind, this is also one of the future killers.

If you really need to use it in the future, the current profit sharing can be regarded as an emotional investment.

"Of course I'm interested."

Ted Lerner immediately said excitedly.

He was so interested.

Not to mention Abel's approval.

Even Buffett's approval is enough to make him sell everything he can to join.

This kind of project that Buffett is optimistic about, the former Ted Lerner has never encountered once in his life.

Most of the projects he can invest in are scam projects on Wall Street.

Most of those good projects that can make money are also mostly out of his turn.

"Will 2% be too little? In fact, with my strength, I can take at least 5%, maybe 10% is fine!"

Let’s not talk about whether you have this strength, the most important thing is to win first!
Father Ikana has a simple idea, that is to seize this opportunity.

There are Abel and Buffett's names.

These Tesla shares, Ted Lerner has 100 ways to cash them out!

As long as the operation is good, he can hold these shares without spending much money at all.

The reason is very simple. The whole Wall Street is willing to give him money for the project where the two names of Abel Smith and Warren Buffett appear together.

"No." Abel looked at the greedy Ikana father, and shook his head with a chuckle:

"I need to set aside a lot of shares for others. 2% is already the maximum."

Hearing what Abel said, Ted Lerner showed a pained and regretful expression on his face.

This is an opportunity for him to go straight to the white wolf and make a lot of money.

And Abel looked down at Paris, who had a hesitant expression in his arms.

He smiled and pinched her beautiful cheeks that had rounded a lot after she was pregnant with his own child.

"Of course I won't forget my dear Barron. There is also a 2% share, which will be reserved for the Hilton family. As long as your father and grandpa are interested."

"Bah-"

Paris's reaction was to get up and kiss Abel hard on the face.

Her pretty face beamed with joy:

"Oh, of course they'd be interested. I'm sure they'd even fly straight in from New York if they knew by now!"

Isn't this the most important reason why she is willing to change her personality to give birth to Abel?
Compared with this, what kind of shitty free love is really just shitty shit!

Damn Hilton, good luck Barron, but I'm not bad, and my daughter is more favored!
Looking at this scene, Ted Lerner smiled on the surface, but thought so in his heart.

Abel smiled lightly and hugged Paris to prevent her from being too excited and hurting the child in her stomach.

The Hilton family's influence in New York is not bad, and it is more famous than Ed Lerner in the world.

Letting the Hilton family enter the venue can also increase Tesla's reputation.

What's more, compared with controlling lithium mines, or the entire industrial chain.

The Tesla car is actually of little value. It is just a brand made by Abel, a decoy.

It is an introduction to attract everyone to leave the field and help him promote the track of new energy vehicles.

So of course, the more people end up the better, anyway, he will have absolute control from the beginning to the end.

What's more, doing so can also strengthen Abel's bondage to the Hilton family and the Lerner family.

The deeper the interests are involved, the more unable Ikana and Paris can leave themselves.

The family behind them will eventually be completely dyed in Smith's color.

Taking another 2 steps back, 200% of Tesla’s shares are calculated based on the current market value of [-] billion US dollars.

The two of them have to spend 4 million US dollars each to get these shares.

Abel's total investment is only about 3 million US dollars.

3% of $4 million in exchange for $8 million.

From a mathematical point of view, this is a huge profit.

And now, he is willing to take these shares.What they got in exchange was Ted Lerner's excited smile that almost cracked his ears, and Paris's more gentle and obedient.

Of course, it was impossible for Abel to refuse this kind of thing that made a lot of money in all aspects.

For the sake of names like Abel Smith and Warren Buffett.

It is absolutely impossible for Hilton and Lerner to refuse.

The next day.

The heat of "Smith driving a sports car incident" has not gone down.

Someone added another fire to this news.

At noon, Charlie Munger, vice chairman and chief executive of Omaha-based Berkshire Hathaway.

The big man in the American financial world, Buffett's right-hand man and best partner.

In an interview with reporters on AMC Bloomberg Television, he said:

"Whether it's me or Warren, we are very optimistic about a new company called Tesla. After Warren's efforts, Berkshire Hathaway successfully acquired Tesla for $20 billion. 10% of the shares. I personally believe that this is definitely one of the most successful investments in the history of Berkshire Hathaway!!"

After the news was reported.

Buffett is in!

This is the first thought of the whole Wall Street.

At first, I was a little hesitant, but I was excited, but I haven't started to act. The Wall Street giants.

Almost immediately they started to move.

They all realized that in the case where Abel Smith and Buffett were on the platform at the same time.

Even this Tesla company, it develops and operates a bunch of defenses.

That was before Abel and Buffett lost their godheads.

Even if its product is a defense, it is also a golden defense!
There are countless investors around the world who will frantically wave their checks and send them to Tesla, just hoping to grab these replies! !

The reality is like this, as long as a person can continue to succeed, then he is the endorsement of success.

Buffett is like this, and Smith, whose record is even crazier, is the same now.

Don't wait until the third day.

Ted Lerner was very excited to find out.

His 4% stake, which can be obtained for only $2 million, has easily doubled in value.

As of the evening of May 5, any report on Tesla in the United States believed that its market value was at least 3 billion U.S. dollars.

this evening.

California, South Pasadena.

Slade Wilson put down the Los Angeles Times.

The news headline folded above is impressively—"Tesla!Future tech giants appear! "

In front of his son John Wilson, Slade shook his head slightly.

"This is too crazy. A company with fewer than 300 employees and a total investment of more than 3 million US dollars, which has lost money until now, should not see profitability for a long time in the future, but there are so many people I want to send money to it."

John Wilson, who looked very similar to Slade Wilson, answered his father with a chuckle:

"A $400 billion valuation, $200 billion from Smith, $200 billion from Buffett. Wall Street thinks those two names are worth that much, so it's worth that much. Father, that's how it is a lot of the time."

Slade Wilson nodded slightly.

He is also an old consortium, of course he knows what the essence of finance is.

The essence of finance is confidence.

Investors put their faith in Abe Smith and Warren Buffett.

Then Tesla, it is worth so much money now.

Someday wait for Buffett or Abel to lose the confidence that investors believe.

Then Tesla began to depreciate.

If Tesla has not grown up one day, the two will withdraw their capital.

Then Tesla is worthless.

"Let's not talk about this." Slade Wilson looked at his son.

This son, he is not very satisfied.

He felt that John was not capable enough.

But Slade has only two children.

Keira is still a daughter with average abilities.

That being the case, for the patriarchal WASP group, there is of course no doubt about who the heir is.

But Keira's ability is not good, but her ambition is not inferior to her brother's.

It looks like a jasmine flower, but its ability is the most common impatiens flower in the United States, but it wants to be a cannibal flower that eats people...

Slade Wilson knew very well the character and abilities of his only two children.

He looked at John Wilson: "Your sister is dating Abe Smith. John, what do you think?"

"I will not allow her to succeed. Because father, you are looking for me. But I will not hurt her, because she is my sister."

John Wilson said without hesitation.
John knew this answer, the one his father liked best.

Sure enough, Slade Wilson nodded in satisfaction:
"Let her make a fuss. Your sister won't give up until she sees total failure. That's her character."

Slade Wilson forgave his son, "You are an older brother, you have to be considerate of your younger sister. And you are destined to be my heir, so it is normal for her to do this."

John again expressed his understanding.

Seeing the tired expression on his father's face again, John immediately took him to rest inside with empathy.

After Shrede fell asleep, John left gently.

As soon as I walked out of my father's bedroom.

John Wilson, who had a filial expression on his face just now, showed a cruel look on his face.

"call--"

He took a deep breath, "Kayla Wilson...hehehe...sister...hehe..."

It was cold in the middle of the night, and the night in Los Angeles in May was somewhat cool.

Shaking his head, John Wilson returned to his normal expression and walked away quickly.

Meanwhile, at 8500 Beverly Boulevard in Los Angeles, some way outside South Pasadena.

In a restaurant called Yardbird.

John Wilson's sister, and the founder of Tesla, Abel Smith, who has been in the news all over the United States these two days, are having dinner.

"Oh, the name of this deviled egg is not good. It tastes surprisingly good."

Under the bright lights, Keira Wilson, who was very beautifully dressed, elegantly cut a dish made of eggs, and said with a sweet smile.

Today's Keira is wearing a Dior white T-shirt on her upper body. There are two decorative openings on the chest of the V-neck, revealing a clear collarbone and white skin, which is faintly seductive.

Her lower body is a pair of black slacks rarely designed by HugoBoss, with a silver-white chain hanging from the right side, shining with a bewildering light.

With her standard blond hair and blue eyes, the appearance and figure of a beautiful American girl are attractive to any man.

"The taste is really good, very attractive."

Abel also smiled and agreed.

Even when he was talking, his eyes were not on the food on the plate at all.

Instead, he kept staring at Kayla.

It looked like Kayla was on his plate tonight.

Seeing Abel's eyes like this, Keira, who had other thoughts, was naturally delighted.

She pretended not to notice his very direct eyes, but continued to discuss the food in front of her with Abel.

"This is a rare opportunity for me to try southern cuisine. After tasting it, I found that southern cuisine is also very attractive. It's really good."

Her tone sounds very simple, but people with complicated thoughts will feel that there is something in the words.

At first glance, it sounds like she is praising the delicious food of this restaurant, or the delicious food of the American South.

Thinking about it, it seems to be saying that the southerners of the United States attract her.

And just across from her, there is such a southerner.

Abel smiled and nodded cooperatively.

"This restaurant is nice and the flavors are good for promotion. Maybe I can buy it?"

This Yardbird restaurant currently has four chains across the United States, in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Houston, and Miami.

In Los Angeles, the atmosphere and service of the restaurant are good.

It specializes in Southern cuisine and is best known for its fried chicken waffles and deviled eggs.

The latter is certainly not the egg of a real devil, and this is not fantasy.

It's just an egg salad, the egg yolk is mixed with mashed potatoes and a variety of ingredients in the white, and it's topped with caviar.

The taste is very special, and after the entrance, you can slowly taste many layers.

After Abel tasted it, the southern American gene in his body expressed his liking, so he had the idea of ​​buying this restaurant and expanding its business in the United States.

It's a bit like Batman in DC, who bought all the banks in Kansas in order to pay off Superman's house loan.

Hearing Abel's words, Keira was startled.

She wasn't surprised by Abel's wealth.

Rather, she felt that Abel was too much like her father when he spoke like this.

That kind of carelessness, as if everything around him is as long as he wants.

Whether it is a giant enterprise or a small supermarket on the side of the road, his attitude of being able to acquire and annex it can be said to be too similar.

She knew that it was a typical business tycoon, the mentality of a consortium boss.

Even if she came from a wealthy family, she still doesn't have one.

Even her elder brother, who was raised as an heir, does not currently exist.

Because John Wilson is not yet a giant, he is just a representative of Slade Wilson.

Thinking of his elder brother growing up like Abel in the future.

And since I was a child, I have been more loved by my father.

Just because I am a woman, my greatest possibility in the future is to accept the fate of marriage.

Marry into another wealthy family of the same level, and there is a high probability of becoming a reproductive machine.

Dreaming of Yang Fengxianhua, who acts as a piranha, thought of this possibility.

She faced Abel again with a pure smile like jasmine:
"Oh, who says it can't? I think it's a good idea, but how to do it? I don't know."

"I know what to do. I'll make it right and you won't be disappointed."

Abel heard this and said to her with a smile.
