America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 510 Capitalism really has merit

The first ray of sunlight in the morning, passing through the white gauze curtain, suddenly became as light as a mist, spreading hazily on the face.

At this moment, Abel just opened his sleepy eyes on the warm Simmons.

Looking at D'Addario's long loose golden hair tightly pressed against his arms with his back turned to him, Abel withdrew his hand through her armpit, and by the way, took a few pieces of hair from Megan's behind his mouth Fox's long hair removed.

"call--"

Feeling the softness and fragrance of the two girls sliding to his body, he couldn't help but let out a long breath.

This kind of gentleness is so easy to be addicted to.

No wonder in the history of mankind, there are so many heroes who couldn't extricate themselves after indulging in gentleness, and finally surrendered themselves, changing from a hero to a bear, from a hero to a fatuous king.

It is true that some women, their attraction to men is indeed very incredible.

From Helen to Shih Tzu, to Agnes Sorel, to Chen Yuanyuan, there are many, many similar examples...

Three years ago, when Abel first went to New York, he might have sunk in such a gentle place.

Fortunately, Abel now has a strong immunity in this regard.

After all, in the past three years, he has experienced this level of temptation many times.

It cannot be regarded as temptation, it should be said to be enjoyment.

He has enjoyed so much, his immunity has been built up, he will indulge and like it, but he will never sink.

Coming out of Fenyue's jade arm, Abel looked at the time, and it was only after 7:8 in the morning, not before [-]:[-].

With a stable biological clock and strong physical fitness, even though he was "busy" until 3 o'clock last night and only slept for 4 hours, he still woke up as usual and was full of energy.

Glancing at Simmons of Yu.body.heng.Chen, Abel exhaled happily, turned and walked into the bathroom next to him.

After taking a shower, he walked back to the bedroom and took out the clothes from the closet. While putting on his shirt, Abel looked at the two girls who were sprawled all over and had no image. He nodded in satisfaction, and then left the room.

When we got outside, it was only a little over 8 in the morning.

Jessica hadn't woken up yet. In the early stages of pregnancy, she started to snooze, and her sleep time was more than half longer than before.

Abel didn't bother her either. He went to the manor villa's gym to exercise, and went to the outdoor swimming pool for a while.

He didn't leave the property until about 9:30 in the morning. The specific address is 9555 Heather Road, Beverly Hills. It is a luxury villa built in 1941. It has 9 bedrooms and 9.5 15505 full bath and enjoys approximately [-] sq. ft. of ensuite.

Much smaller than the house Jessica had chosen last time.But the location is better in terms of security work. It is located on the top of Beverly Hills. There is only one way to go up. The nearest villas around are all 50 meters away. It can be said that it is full in terms of security.

Obviously, after what happened on July 7th.

On the second day, Jessica gave up the villa and moved to the top of the mountain.

It is now July 7th, and 25 days have passed since that day.

Megan Fox and Alexandra Daddario have also known Abel for more than 5 days.

During the 5 days, of course they had developed all their knowledge by Abel.

Otherwise, with the two blank sheets of paper, it would be impossible to persist until 3 o'clock in the middle of the night last night under Abel's fighting power.

The convoy started from Beverly Hills and headed for downtown Los Angeles.

Sitting in the carriage, Abel took the newspaper from David on the front passenger seat.

Seeing the first newspaper, the headline on the front page read—[Smith Media's market value exceeded US$1500 billion within one month of listing!The most valuable media company ever created! 】 Such a title.

Abel knew that these newspapers had been selected by David.

It is estimated that they are all good news, which can make me read the contents of the newspaper in a good mood.

After all, I have to do some less pleasant things later.

He flipped through the Wall Street Journal a little.

【…Since its listing on the New York Stock Exchange, Smith Media has been infinitely sought after by the market and investors due to its long-term rise. 】

[...Since its listing in June, the market value of this media company has repeatedly hit new highs.Up to now, the market value has risen by more than 6 times, and as of now, the market value has exceeded 2.7 billion US dollars.This is a very milestone event for a listed media industry company. 】

[...Because before Smith Media, the only media company with a market capitalization of more than 13 billion U.S. dollars was Disney 785 years ago, and now Disney’s market capitalization is only [-] billion U.S. dollars. 】

[...Compared to the previous Disney, first of all, Smith Media has achieved steady growth in performance and revenue in its field, and has achieved very good success in the pan-entertainment diversified track. 】

[... the data show that after the millennium.The media sector is becoming a new area of ​​economic growth…]

【…】

Able skimmed through the very long report, and found that it was all about Smith Media’s new high market capitalization news.

This is also one of the hottest news in the US stock market today.

Smith Media, which has an issue price of $55 a share, has now risen to around $153 a share, and it only took about a month.

With this size, it can be said to be very exaggerated.

The financial media ran wild about it, and the Wall Street Journal was no exception.

However, the content behind the report of the "Wall Street Journal" is actually bragging about the media field, saying that the media field is worth investing in.

After seeing this part of the content, Abel felt that the Wall Street Journal's report today was quite normal.

Because it is also a media field, of course I hope that the media field will be better in the future.Taking the opportunity of bragging about Smith Media, bragging about the entire field is also what the industry should mean.

I haven't seen that in the past month, because of the crazy popularity of Smith Media's listing, the stock prices of other listed media companies have also been improving.

At this time, of course everyone came together to praise Smith Media, so that the stock price of the entire industry will be better, and everyone will benefit together.

Apart from this aspect, looking at the whole article, there is nothing special, except for the exaggerated market value of Smith Media.

A company with fixed assets of more than 500 billion US dollars has tripled in the stock market.

The price-earnings ratio of a normal media company is generally 10-15 times.Now, the price-earnings ratio of Smith Media has reached 30 times.

This ratio is almost the same as that of the Internet high-tech companies before the Nasdaq collapsed.

After the Nasdaq collapsed, this is quite unusual in the U.S. stock market, which mainly relies on dividends and dividends to make money.

Apparently, there are invisible black hands in the market that are pushing Smith Media's stock price to continue to rise, and they want to use Abel's influence to stealthily harvest a wave of leeks.

Abel didn't want to care about this, because it was a market behavior.Smith Media has been listed on the market, and it has to follow market rules in many cases.

Even if someone scolds him for being cut leeks, it can only be blamed on the greed and ignorance of the person who was cut leeks, and it has nothing to do with Abel.

Because the shares of Abel, a group of executives, and original shareholders have a half-year sales restriction period.In the past six months, the rise and fall of stock prices had little impact on them except for their nominal worth.

Naturally, the people whose leeks were cut cannot be blamed on them.

He put the Wall Street Journal aside and found that underneath it was a copy of Smith Media's American Daily Sun.

Compared with the "Wall Street Journal", the "American Sun" and the "New York Post" are in the same tone.

The main focus is a popularization, and an entertainment to death.

This can be seen from the headlines on its front page today, which are completely different from the "Wall Street Journal".

[Two suspects in Hollywood studio manslaughter charged with manslaughter], this is the headline on the front page of today's "American Sun".

The report is about the recent development of Hollywood movie star Baldwin's accidental murder on the set.

Prosecutors in New Mexico formally indicted Baldwin and Reed, a prop master, on two counts of manslaughter each.If convicted, each faces a maximum sentence of five years in prison.Baldwin is also the first actor in Hollywood history to be criminally prosecuted for a manslaughter on set.

If he is successfully prosecuted and sentenced, he will also be the first actor in Hollywood history to go to jail for accidentally killing someone on set.

This has nothing to do with Abel, he glanced over and turned over.

By the time the stack of newspapers was almost full, he had already arrived at the headquarters of the MGM film group at the junction of Hollywood Highland Street and Sunset Boulevard.

At the entrance of the film company headquarters, CEO Robert Iger has long been leading a group of high-level executives waiting to greet him.

Not to mention that Lao Mei does not engage in formalism, everyone is human, and everyone is actually a bird.

It can be said that at the MGM headquarters at this time, there is only a pair of red cloth on the back, which reads "Welcome Chairman Abel Smith is approaching for guidance".

In other aspects, it is basically the same as the treatment enjoyed by the leaders of the Huaxia domestic group when they went to inspect the subsidiaries below.

And as one of the Hollywood giants, at the gate of the headquarters of MGM Film Group, of course, there are a large number of entertainment reporters and paparazzi observing it every day.

There are so many celebrity directors who come and go here every day, if you can take good photos, it will be a lot of money.

In fact, there are a large number of people like them at the gates of well-known and influential film companies every day.

So the arrival of Abel at this moment ignited the enthusiasm of these people in an instant.

"Whoa, it's Abe Smith! It's Abe Smith! They say he's in California recently, and it turns out to be true!"

"Hey, we should have thought of it earlier. Robert Iger brought so many people to greet him at the door so early, who else could it be except Abel Smith?!"

"Ah, I really want to go down and take pictures. It's so far away, the focus is not right, can you take a few good photos?"

"Hehe...then you go down and see the bodyguards next to you?"

"I really don't dare..."

"..."

While the reporters were making noise and frantically taking pictures, Abel was already greeted by Robert and walked into the rather magnificent lobby of MGM headquarters.

"I haven't been here for half a year, and it's even more lively here."

Looking at the crowd of executives gathered around him, as well as some people from the entertainment industry outside, Abel said with a smile.

"The listing of the group will bring the company to a higher level."

Robert said happily, "Now everyone says that we are the number one giant in Hollywood. Disney and Warner Bros. are a thing of the past!"

Abel suppressed his smile and patted him on the shoulder, "I hope so, let's go. Go to your office and have a chat."

Robert was taken aback. He thought the boss was here and would inspect the company first.

Because before Abel came, it was usually the same process.

For this reason, Robert has already made an arrangement to ensure that the boss can be satisfied with everything during his inspection.

Only in this way can he reflect the excellent work ability of his CEO.

Unexpectedly, when the boss came this time, instead of going on inspection first, he would go directly to his office.

Of course, Robert did not dare to object.

A group of people waited, directly took the elevator that can only be made by the company's senior management, and arrived at the 50th floor on the top floor, which belonged to Robert's office.

As an aside, Abel's office here is also on this floor, occupying half a floor facing the junction of Highland Street and Sunset Boulevard, and it is twice as big as Robert Iger's.

Seeing Abel, he walked directly to his office instead of the bigger and more luxurious chairman's office.

The CEO of MGM has already sunk in his heart.

A bad premonition rose to my heart.Robert thought about it carefully, thinking about his recent work, whether there was anything that he could not do well.

He didn't think it out, because within his ability, he had already done it to the extreme.

However, the boss's unusual behavior today made him feel a little uneasy.

Sure enough, after a group of people entered his office, the trouble Robert had expected appeared.

"Faruk Gursoy, Aman Dahhurst, Michelle Simon, Colette Anastasia, Dorothea Molders..."

Abel, who was still smiling below, entered Robert's office and calmly called out a long list of names.

Robert is very familiar with these names, and they are all high-level executives of MGM Film Group.

Like Michelle Simon, she is the director of the publicity and distribution management department of the group, responsible for the publicity and distribution of most of MGM's films, and once served as the vice president of the film company at Paramount.

There is also Aman Dahurst, who is the main person in charge of the company's overseas business department, responsible for business contacts with overseas, mainly in the direction of Europe and Asia, which are the two directions that MGM Film Group is trying to develop in the past .

"These guys are all fired."

After Abel read the names of these people expressionlessly, he immediately added:

"They are incompetent and have violated the interests of the group. In addition to dismissing them, the legal department of the group headquarters will sue them in the California High Court later."

Facing Abel's expressionless sneer, Robert was relieved.

Anti-corruption, he understands.

In the sensuality of Hollywood, the executives of the film company are very vulnerable to corruption, and then some internal corruption occurs.

There are so many unspoken rules and clear rules in Hollywood, which often come from this aspect.

Robert thinks he has a clear conscience, and he doesn't need to be greedy in his position.

The generosity of Abel has allowed him to enjoy the benefits and benefits that most of the management in Hollywood cannot enjoy.

The problems were caused by some middle and high-level people, and probably had nothing to do with him, so Robert was naturally no longer worried.

As for the boss who was away all the year round and rarely came to the company, Robert didn't want to get into why he was able to detect corruption in the company.

Even the rotating CEO of Smith Media last year actually knew a little bit about this.

It is said that there is a special work department on the Rock Security Company, which is said to be the boss's most important concern.

The responsibility of this work department is to collect and monitor information about the internal managers of the boss's major holding companies.

Robert guessed that the reason why the boss was able to find things that he couldn't find out even though he was outside was most likely due to that special department.

He felt that he and Michael must be on the list of this special department.

With Robert's cooperation and Abel's black face.

MGM, who was originally happy to welcome the boss to visit, was in turmoil and howling throughout the morning.

There are more than 5000 people in the film group company.

More than 300 middle and high-level personnel were arrested, and more than 100 of them were taken away by the California Prosecutor's Economic Crime Team and the Los Angeles Police Department before noon.

The remaining 200 or so people were fired directly, and at the same time, they were announced to be banned by MGM Film Group.

The company will inform the entire industry about their corruption, so that it will not be so easy for these people to get involved in the entertainment industry in the future.

The thunder sweeping operation did not subside until noon.

Robert was apprehensive and wanted to invite the boss to stay for lunch.

In the past, Abel usually ate in the company restaurant when he made inspection tours.

"It's not the right day, Robert. You saw the situation, and I don't blame you. But you're responsible, too, and you know what I mean."

Of course Robert understood, so he had to send the boss away in fear.

When this elegant and gentle Mr. "Mickey Mouse" turned around to face the senior management of the film group, his face was already frosty.

Not to mention Robert's internal reorganization after Abel left.

On Abel's side, he returned to the villa at No. 3 Heather Road at around 9555:[-] p.m.

When they returned to the villa, the housekeeper told Abel that Jessica had gone out at noon to go to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for a checkup.

Located in Beverly Hills, Cedars-Sinai is a top private hospital that is very famous in the United States.

Unbeknownst to everyone, it is actually a medical center for the American Oilers group.

Those bigwigs who are rich and powerful among the oil people usually receive treatment here when they get sick.At the same time, it is also the largest biological research center in the United States controlled by the Oilers, and has been secretly conducting research on longevity genes.

It is similar to the Adam and Eve scientific research studios established by Abel, but they have gone farther and earlier than him.

Unlike him, it's actually just getting started.

Abel didn't think much of it, because in Beverly Hills, or in the whole of Los Angeles.

If you have money and conditions, Cedars-Sinai Medical Center is indeed the best choice.

Even this hospital is on Abel's donation list.

After all, Los Angeles is also one of the main places where Abel lives.He is afraid of death, and he has never been stingy in this regard.

At this time in the villa, there were only two white paper little sisters who slept in the pool until 2:[-] noon. When Abel came back, they were playing in the swimming pool.

"Okay, my little Megan and little Daddario, go and sit across from each other. If you're like this, aren't you afraid that you won't be able to get up at night?"

With a playful smile, Abel stretched out his two hands, caressing their fair cheeks, and stroked their beautiful eyebrows with his fingers. Naturally, he would not refuse the two little girls who would kiss each other as soon as they met.

They were all hugged into his arms just now, and after a fierce fight, he smiled and let them go.

"Heck, I'm not afraid, at worst I won't sleep until tomorrow!!" Megan Fox was obviously more lively. After getting along for a few days, she was not as in awe of Abel as she was at the beginning.

D'Addario stood up from Abel's arms, didn't speak, but raised his eyebrows at Abel with a mischievous and cute face. That delicate and incomparably beautiful face made Abel feel a little dazed.

"You really..."

Abel shook his head slightly with a smile, thinking how good it is to be young.

No wonder Arden and Aden are so satisfied with the island services provided by Apo.

The corruption of capitalism, indeed, has some redeeming qualities.

He waved his hand, and the maid following behind brought over two beautifully packaged, small paper boxes.

"For you." He said with a smile.

"What's inside? The sound seems to be very small?"

The more lively Megan Fox took it right away, shook it first, and heard a sound coming from inside the cardboard box, her pretty face looked at Abel curiously, shaking the gift box in her hand constantly.

Daddario, by contrast, is much quieter.

At this time, he was also holding a gift box, and his big light blue eyes were full of curiosity.

Abel shrugged, spread his hands, and signaled, "Open it and see for yourself."

"Stab—"

"Whoa? A car key! OMG, is the car in this picture a gift? Wow wow thank you Abe, what a great gift I love it boo~ thank you!! "

Megan Fox held the car keys in her hand, looked at the photo of a pink, red, fifth-generation Porsche 911 in the box, and cheered happily. The bright prints were firmly imprinted on Abel's cheeks.

Alexandra Daddario has also dismantled it, and inside is a photo of an identical fifth-generation Porsche 911 sports car, but in blue.

Because she told Abel that her favorite color was blue, just like Meghan's pink.

Now Daddario, like Megan, has excited eyes that are about to turn into stars.

For a 16-year-old girl, owning a Porsche 911, especially those Hollywood girls who have objectified themselves in their hearts, is even more irresistible to the excitement of sports cars.

"Hehe, well, call the number on the back of the photo, and someone will send the car to you. Then I remember that both of you are over 16 years old and can take the driver's license test. I will arrange someone to train you, You will get your driver's license soon. The car and driver's license are my compensation for your past birthdays."

In the United States, you can test your driver's license at the age of 16.

However, according to the regulations, you can't go on the road by yourself after passing the pass, you need someone to accompany you.

As for the Porsche 911 that was given to the two of them, it was the same fifth-generation 2000 Turbo launched in 911, with a displacement of 3.6L and a maximum power of 415 horsepower.

At the Porsche Store on Sunset Boulevard below, they're flagships that cost as much as $15.68.

A gift of $10,000+ is expensive by any measure.

But for Abel now, it is not even a drop in the bucket.

As Abel was talking, his mouth was gagged by two little girls swarming up, and then the backs of the girls leaving with cheerful smiles.

Abel took out a tissue from the table, walked to the mirror, wiped off the bright lipstick on his cheeks and mouth, and smiled, reminiscing about the elegant and sweet girlish taste.

Just when I was about to take off my clothes and go to the water to soak in the bubbles.

Jessica is back from her checkup at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.

He just took off his clothes, turned around and met the smiling eyes of Jessica who walked in, showing a gentle smile.

"Wow, dear, today you are as beautiful as ever."

Abe delivered the unsparing compliments, that's what American chicks love to hear.

Jessica did deserve her praise, but behind her, Abel saw two girls in nurse uniforms and a medical kit with a red cross symbol.

This made Abel frown, "What's the matter? Are you in good health? Why is there a nurse?"

Jessica leaned over, also offered a mouthful, and then explained.

It turned out that it was her physical examination, and the condition was normal.

After all, her body is pregnant, and her nature is not so good.

After the test results came out, it showed that her multiple indicators were low.Doctors at Cedars-Sinai Hospital suggested to her that it is best to take care of the fetus for a long time, and hospitalization is the best.

Jessica didn't want to be hospitalized, but she planned to listen to the doctor's advice and take care of her pregnancy.

From the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a female doctor and two nurses were sent over.

Of course, it's not as kind as that of the hospital.

But when Jessica signed the bill, she didn't hesitate, even if it cost tens of thousands of dollars just to check.

To put it bluntly, there is no such thing as the benevolence of doctors in the United States.With the dollar bills in place, you can move the entire Cedars-Sinai or Mayo to your house if you want.

The money is not in place, and even the door of the hospital cannot be entered.

Jessica still wanted to talk to Abel about her own pregnancy later, but saw his eyes lingering on a little nurse behind her for a long time.

It was a very pretty, but very young nurse.

She was very depressed, but Jessica still introduced three people from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center for her boyfriend.

"This is Dr. Melia, this is Nurse Maria, and this is Nurse Gail."

Abel smiled, shook hands with the doctors and nurses, and introduced himself.

At the last little nurse, he suddenly asked, "Nurse Gail, hello. Your last name is Gadot, right?"

"Ah? Yes... yes, yes." The immature and young female nurse introduced herself in a panic, "Mr. Smith, hello, I'm nurse Gal Gadot."

Seeing her flustered and cute look, Abel's heart sank.

Hey Nurse, Gal Gadot, and the Oilers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center...  

Things got interesting.

　A little Calvin, write a little daily...
