Chapter 13: The local tyrant begins
In the afternoon, San Francisco Irvine.
Edward Sephorosa and his wife, Selena I. Sephorosa, were on their way home in a Mercedes S sedan that was very modern many years later.
Edward was a successful businessman who immigrated to the United States with his family from the Kingdom of Britain at the age of five.
At the age of 12, he began to work as a hawker, and at the age of 15, he began to work as a broker in a real estate company. At the age of 18, he became one of the best real estate agents in Los Angeles and at the age of 20 he founded his own real estate company.
At the age of 48, he has become one of the most famous real estate dealers on the West Coast thanks to his private real estate company, Casa de Sefolosa.
Casa de Sephorosa is mainly engaged in high-end real estate, and the company itself has an intermediary business and also operates in the construction industry. Similar to the combination of a contractor and a real estate agent, it mainly deals in high-end real estate with a unit price of more than 1 million US dollars.
The [House of Sephorosa], which has not yet been listed, is valued at $2 billion in the stock market, and Edward, who owns 60% of the company's shares, has just become the 389th in the Forbes 400 this year with a net worth of about $1.2 billion in this fairly good real estate company.
As for the remaining 40% of the company's shares, it belongs to Selena I Sephorosa, who is Edward's wife.
Selena is a Chinese woman. When he was young, he came to the United States to study and met Edward. As a result, the immigrant boy from Britain fell in love with this rich lady at first sight, stalked him, and finally got the beauty back. The Chinese surname was Yi's wife and gave birth to an only son for Edward.
Abel Sephorosa.
That's right.
This middle-aged couple is Abel's father and mother in this life.
The two were leaving the company to return to their home in Irvine.
Irvine, San Francisco, is a city in Orange County, California, USA, which was planned and designed by the famous architect William Pereira and was established on December 28, 1971. Located in the middle of Orange County, the majority of residents are upper-middle-class families.
Although it has only been 19 years since the city was founded, this wealthy city has grown rapidly. It has become one of the famous rich concentrations in California, and was named one of the "Five Safe Cities in Los Angeles" last year.
Because there are more Chinese and whites above the middle class here, the Sephorosa family settled here.
Abel's current home is a luxury villa built in 1988, with 6 bedrooms, 7 full baths, and an indoor living area of about 9901 square feet, covering an area of about 0.47 square acres, with a huge garden and yard.
Such a house will cost at least a few million dollars in twenty or thirty years. But this house was developed and built by Edward's own real estate company, and it only cost about 1 million dollars from the purchase of the land to the construction, which is already a good deal.
The car drove to the door.
Edward got out of the car and walked very gentlemanly to the side of the passenger seat to pick up his wife.
Ms. Yi Mina, whose English name is Selena Yi Seforrosa, saw that her son's red Cadillac was not parked in the parking lot, and when she got out of the car, she couldn't help but muttered to her husband:
"Why hasn't Little Abel come back yet? It stands to reason that I'm supposed to be back. ”
Edward raised an eyebrow.
It's the same as Abel.
He snorted coldly, "Hmph! In more than a month, I want to research a new drug." Although this kid has been very smart since he was a child, how can things be so simple! I hope he can get the investment of those pharmaceutical companies, otherwise your money will be smashed into the water. ”
Yi Minna gave her husband a blank look.
The check for $1 million to her son, although she gave it to him. But the check for $1 million was also given to him by her husband. Although the husband verbally did not believe in his son's entrepreneurship, he still took the money.
Although Yi Minna has 40% of the company's shares, she doesn't care about things and doesn't touch money. She was born as a rich lady, so she didn't bother to take care of mundane things.
So in fact, the money given to Abel was also given by Edward's father.
It's just that Abel doesn't know.
Edward also did not allow his wife to speak out, and only Selena and Edward knew.
Yi Minna's understanding of this behavior is: an awkward father-son relationship!
"Edward! Abel was in a coma for three months half a year ago, and he was lucky to wake up! Don't criticize him anymore! I believe in my child, he will succeed! If those pharmaceutical companies don't look down on him, they are blind!" Yi Minna said to her husband angrily.
Edward did not dare to contradict his wife, he loved his wife very much, and that was because this love made him a little awkward to Abel since he was a child, because he felt that his son had taken away part of his wife's love.
It's a bit of a childish temper, but that's what Edward thinks. He muttered quietly:
"Maybe...... If he can succeed, then I will cut all the lawns and flowers and trees in the yard this month......"
"Humph!" Yi Minna glared at him, and Edward didn't dare to speak anymore.

The other side.
Hilton San Francisco Airport.
After 5 hours.
It was already evening.
Retire from the premium meeting room, leave the hotel, and stand in front of the Hilton Hotel.
Illuminated by the warm sunset of California and facing the mild sea breeze of California in March, Able only felt refreshed!
Refreshing!
It's really worth cooling!
Alvertelli and Cameron Diaz followed.
Alvertelli answering the phone.
A few seconds later.
Wait for Abel to face the sunset in California and stretch his waist.
Alferteli beamed and reported to his boss:
"BOSS! The bank called me just now, and the company accounts of Oasis Investment, Red Giant Bear, and SPG Fund have each transferred $100 million!
"Haha! It is worthy of being the No. 1 pharmaceutical manufacturer in the universe, when it was still a little guy in terms of mergers and acquisitions, it dared to spend money so much, and was willing to spend money!" Hearing the news, Abel couldn't help but admire.
Alvertelli was stunned.
The No. 1 pharmaceutical company in the universe?
It seems that although Pfizer is not bad, it is only in the top 10 at most in the Federation, right?
The boss may be too happy.
That's what he said to praise Pfizer.
Alvertelli thought.
The little secretary standing next to Alvertelli was a little dizzy at this time, she still couldn't believe that the boss spent more than a month to get something that was actually sold for 300 million!
Three hundred million dollars!
How long will it take for her to earn it?
If you follow the current income, even if you don't eat or drink, it will only be $120,000 a year, 1.2 million in 10 years, and $12 million in 100 years.
$300 million, it would take her thousands of years to earn. Cameron Diaz feels that even if he fulfills his past wish to become a top Hollywood superstar, he is estimated to earn less than $300 million in a lifetime.
The boss's originally tall and handsome back seemed to be even taller in the mind of the little secretary.
It's just a little bit bad.
Not in that regard.
The little secretary thought regretfully.
If Abel knew what she was thinking now, he would probably have the heart to correct her on the spot. But he doesn't know how to read minds, and he made so much money at once at once, he just wants to be a local tyrant.
How to be a local tyrant?
Local tyrant method 1: Increase the salary of your subordinates and increase your loyalty.
Miss Cameron Diaz, less than two months after graduating from high school, has been working for less than two months, and her monthly salary has suddenly increased from $10,000 after tax to $20,000 after tax. Let this beautiful mixed-race beauty suddenly want to dedicate herself in the car.
Despite the conditions, she did not dedicate herself. But he also kissed Abel on the cheek excitedly, and imprinted a big flaming red lip on the left side of his face...... Stamp!
This little mouth...... I guess I can't call it a small mouth, because it's really big and sexy.
Well...... It's nice to the touch!
Andles' salary, like Cameron Diaz, is $20,000 after tax.
Alferteli as manager is $25,000 after tax.
With only a small amount of money, Abel received the gratitude of the only three subordinates.
Loyalty upupup!
Local tyrant method 2: Abel dialed the phone of a Hollywood practitioner who had just met.
As soon as the phone was connected, Abel said to the other party very simply and directly:
"Harvey, remember me? I'm Abel Sephorosa. Last time we met in Hollywood. ”
"Mr. Sephorosa? Sure, how's that? Are you looking to invest in films? Miramax does have a couple of good projects right now, I think ......."
"I'll talk about investing in movies later. I would now like to get a call from you about Heidi Fryce. Or Michelle Braunbibi Sam's......"
Abel's straightforwardness made the other side stunned for a moment, and after a few seconds he hesitated to say, "I...... I didn't. ”
"Huh. Abel smiled and said in a playful voice, "I don't believe it." Harvey, you're destined to become a Hollywood mogul in the future. ”
Listening to Abel's playful compliment, the other party seemed to think for a while before he hesitated: "Mr. Sephorosa." A friend of mine can reach Miss Heidi Fryss if you need it......"
"Uh-huh!"
Hang up the phone.
The little secretary couldn't help but come up and asked curiously to his boss, "Boss, who is Heidi you're looking for?"
Abel smiled mysteriously.
looked at the towering murderous department of the little secretary condescendingly, and wanted to reach over and grab it, but there were still two subordinates in front!
He replied, "Don't ask, little kids! You're five months old to reach adulthood! Hey, why isn't there a Juliet and Romeo Act now?!......
Cameron Diaz was stunned.
Juliet and Romeo?
Haven't you heard of it? What kind of law is it? But the boss is right, according to the law, he will not be considered an adult until August of this year......
The little secretary pouted and stopped talking.
