Fortunately, it turned out afterwards that it was not a shooting.

A few minutes later,

Lincoln and Lin's two bodyguards, escorted a man over.

Abel noticed that the man was one of the real guests at the two tables in the restaurant just now.

There is only one guest at the table.

After confirming that it was safe, Abel who had never left his original position.

He looked at Lin and Lincoln, and then at the man who had been escorted.

One last look at Edward.

Edward immediately whispered:

"Lin spotted this guy just now, and his camera was pointed here."

It was the camera, not the gun, and Abel breathed a sigh of relief.

He confirmed that he was not a god of life and death in elementary school, and he did not go anywhere and where the aura of a shooting occurred.

"What's the situation?" Abel asked softly.

Lin handed Edward the camera, which was supposed to have been snatched from the man, to Edward.

Edward manipulated it for a while, and found a secretly photographed negative of Anne Hathaway and Abel's intimacy inside.

After being escorted over, the man who didn't look very panicked finally spoke:

"You can't do that. I'm a reporter for Happy Hollywood. You have hindered my right to interview and the media's right to know! It's against the law for you to do that!! ”

His voice was a bit loud and was heard by the whole restaurant.

In fact, he didn't have to shout so loudly.

Late at night restaurant,

The movement here is so big, everyone has already seen it.

The staff of the restaurant, presumably the lobby manager or something, have come over to inquire about the situation.

It's just that Abel arranged Johnson to block it.

Edward replied softly to his boss.

"In addition to the negatives of your and Miss Anne's photographs, there are also photographs of the guests at that table."

Listening to Edward's words, Abel subconsciously looked at the restaurant, another table of real guests.

Then he looked at Edward again, "This is the case." Anne and I went first. ”

Being disturbed like this, he had no interest in continuing to eat here.

"No problem."

Edward replied directly.

There were two other bodyguards who came up to take Lin's place and Lincoln's place.

Abel got up directly, took Anne Hathaway by the hand, and left the restaurant under the escort of Lin and other bodyguards.

Half an hour later,

In the living room of another suite on the top floor of the Four Seasons Hotel.

Edward came up to report and let Able know what was going on.

The simple thing is that this man named Steve is indeed a reporter for a newspaper.

To put it nicely as a reporter, in fact, he is a paparazzi in the paparazzi.

Paparazzi Steve, the reason why he appeared in the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel.

Or at this time of the night, because he has a relative who works in a restaurant.

This relative found out that there was a star in the restaurant.

It just so happened that Steve came to him for something, and he told Steve about it.

Steve immediately pretended to be a guest at the hotel and went to the restaurant to eat.

His real purpose is, of course, to take some pictures of this star.

It would be great if you could get a big shot.

Of course, the star here is not Anne Hathaway.

Anne Hathaway is now in Hollywood, and she is a little better than the 18th parallel.

It can be regarded as a fourth or fifth line.

Except for the end of last year and the beginning of this year, because of her first TV series "The First Experience of Love", she has been on the tabloids several times.

She was able to be in the newspaper this year because she became the heroine of "The Princess Diaries".

Disney's publicity and distribution department deliberately prepared several exposure opportunities to prepare for the release and publicity of the movie in the future.

In addition, except that she is radiant and looks like a star more than many Hollywood stars.

She's not famous.

Coincidentally, she is not very famous, but Steve happens to be one of the reporters who can recognize her.

In line with the attitude that one sheep is also a sheep, two sheep can also be picked.

While Steve was filming the star, he also quietly focused the camera on this side.

It just so happened that Anne enthusiastically pounced on Abel, which made Steve's eyes light up.

I guess Steve, at that time, had a title in mind for tomorrow.

- "Hollywood N-line actress pounces on a tall and strong man at night"

It's just that Steve just took two photos and was discovered by the professionals here.

Then Lin and Lincoln went up to arrest them, and Edward interrogated them.

"Okay." Abel was a little speechless, "The negatives have all been deleted, right?" ”

Edward nodded: "It's all deleted." Also the manager of this Four Seasons hotel, who is out there right now, wants to apologize to you. ”

In a luxury hotel like the Four Seasons, there is such a flaw.

The hotel manager will come to apologize immediately, which is also deserved.

If this kind of thing is exposed, it is estimated that no celebrities will come to this Four Seasons Hotel in the future.

If it is too big, it may affect the reputation of the entire Four Seasons Hotel in a short period of time.

"Ignore him." Abel was also dissatisfied with the Four Seasons Hotel, and this experience made him have a bad impression of the hotel.

But he was curious about another thing, "That's right. Edward, another star of this paparazzi's tracking and shooting, should be another table of guests, right? Who is it? ”

Edward said: "The other party also sent someone to inquire later. is a female star named Charlize Theron and her assistant. ”

"Charlize Theron?"

Abel, who didn't feel anything, suddenly became a little interested.

"Yes. It was Charlize Theron, indeed. Edward confirmed:

"I didn't see her in person, though. But that's what her assistant, and the paparazzi, all said. ”

"Okay." Abel was a little sorry that he didn't see the legendary "Saihuang".

In his person, who knows the most about beauty and entertainment, almost all of them come from Marvel and DC superhero movies.

Charlize Theron is one of his few acquaintances with Hollywood beauties.

Fortunately, he is no longer a rookie, after meeting Ovitz and Levine, and becoming the chairman of CAA.

I also learned a lot about Hollywood, and many things behind many glamorous beauties like Charlize Theron.

Although this will not dispel his thoughts about these big beauties.

After all, in terms of appearance and figure, they are indeed very top.

It's a normal man, and he must be hungry for their bodies.

It's just that when Abel was an ordinary person, the glorious impression in his heart has disappeared.

Nowadays, these great beauties like Charlize Theron.

In Abel's heart, it is no longer just a daffodil that can be seen from afar.

But if you have the opportunity, you can play enough and play thoroughly with the top real doll.

At this moment, he was "disappointed" that he didn't see Charlize Theron.

It's just the kind of little emotion that missed the best figure, and found out that I regretted it afterwards.

"Then then, follow the process. How should this kind of thing be handled? Able looked at Edward.

"I'm referring to the handling of this paparazzi."

Edward didn't actually know that he was a professional special forces soldier before.

Not long after joining Rock Security, he met Abel.

In the follow-up training, he became a professional bodyguard.

But his employer is not a Hollywood practitioner.

He hasn't had time to learn how to deal with it.

Fortunately, Abel is surrounded by more than one Hollywood practitioner.

Due to the demand for this aspect, Rock Security has also recruited many security personnel in this area.

Edward didn't know how to deal with such a thing, and someone else knew.

Edward said: "Ordinary Hollywood stars, in the face of this kind of thing, can be private. As long as the other party does not break the law, they have little means. ”

Abel nodded, "Then did this guy break the law?" ”

"It is said that there is none. On the contrary, our methods are a bit rough. The other party wants to pursue it, and we have some trouble. ”

"However, it is better to find a lawyer for related issues." Edward said.

"So be it."

Abel said, "Break his camera, pull him outside and beat him up." Let him go again. Find a lawyer here and find someone to plead guilty. The treatment of those who bear the guilt is doubled during this period, and there is another reward afterwards. ”

There's nothing Hollywood stars can do about this kind of thing, that's Hollywood stars.

Abel is not a Hollywood star, he is a capitalist.

When capitalists encounter this kind of thing, there are too many ways to solve it.

It's just that this guy can't be guilty of death, and Abel didn't want to let him commit suicide by being shot eight times in the back.

Then teach a little lesson and get angry.

"Something similar in the future. Let's do it all. Abel whispered.

"Understood." Edward nodded immediately.

"So be it."

Able said, "I'll go and rest, and I'll leave this matter to you, Edward." ”

Edward nodded yes, and watched the boss walk into the bedroom before he turned to leave the suite to settle the matter.

On the other side of the hotel,

Charlize Theron's assistant, who had just finished coping with the apology of the hotel staff, returned to his boss's room.

I saw Ms. Charlize Theron, the "high-end doll" and "high-end figure" in Abel's mind, was lying on the sofa in the living room in pajamas at the moment.

"How's it going? How's that paparazzi doing? ”

After seeing the female assistant come back, Charlize Theron hurriedly asked.

The female assistant replied:

"The assistant manager of this hotel, always apologises to you. It also means that if you come here to stay in the future, the cost will be 50% off. ”

"Heh~" Charlize Theron laughed, "She still wants me to come and live here in the future?" What about the paparazzi? ”

The words of that reporter. He was taken away by the guests at that table, and he has not seen anyone yet. The female assistant said.

"I can't get back the photos of us that I took secretly?" Charlize Theron asked.

"This is not clear, maybe we can think of a way to contact the other party again?"

Charlize Theron shook his head slightly: "No need. Those photos are not something that cannot be reported. And didn't you notice that the table was very crowded? He must be a great man, and he probably doesn't want us to bother him. ”

Charlize Theron is well aware.

Don't look at herself, she is a shining star in the media, known as the South African diamond.

In the eyes of fans and ordinary people, he is one of the big stars who has become famous.

But she deeply knows that in the eyes of many people, she is just a play, or even just a good-looking female cousin!

The one who can have so many bodyguards and is not afraid to grab people directly in public.

It is likely that such a big man is.

The handsome young man, Charlize Theron, guessed that the other party might be the descendant of some gate valve, or the descendant of some big business owner.

Charlize Theron doesn't want to provoke such a person.

Because of this kind of person, even those Hollywood giants can't be provoked.

In Hollywood like her, she is currently a little stronger prawn.

really wants to provoke the other party, and the ending is estimated to be no different from the paparazzi named Steve, and the result is no different.

Charlize, who is ambitious, has deep self-knowledge, and has a low IQ and EQ.

She thinks it's better to stay away from such big names more.

When the female assistant saw the boss say this, she naturally had nothing to do.

That's the end of what happened to the team.

Next, Anne stayed with Abel for two days.

She asked for leave later, and the crew agreed.

Two days later, Anne returned to the set.

Abel continued to stay near San Francisco.

On the first of October, it is a birthday day for another country.

He saw what is now a reputation in Silicon Valley.

Although it is not as good as Microsoft and Yahoo, the two founders of Google have already appeared.

Larry Page and Serge Brin founded Google's predecessor, BackRub, in 1997.

In 1998, it officially changed its name to Google, and then received a $25 million investment in the same year.

After two years of development, the most important thing that Google's market value began to soar happened this year.

That was this year, when the giant Yahoo said it would use Google as its search engine provider.

Yahoo had its own search engine business, and before that Google saw it as a competitor.

Before that, Yahoo and Microsoft were competing for market share with Google, which had achieved absolute superiority, in the search market.

Yahoo's decision made Google completely bigger.

Yahoo made this decision because it wanted to buy Google.

The plan was good, but Larry Page and Serge Brin also relented under the sincerity of the other party.

And then everyone knew it was going to happen, but everyone thought it was going to be a long time before the dot-com bubble came.

The rich are deep, and Yahoo, which was richer than everyone before, has no money.

It lowered its offer for Google, but still wants to buy Google.

Although the market was in a downturn, Larry Page and Serge Brin had no intention of reducing the value of the company.

The two rejected Yahoo's new offer to Google, an offer of no value.

Compared to this year's peak, it has been going downhill.

Its market capitalization will fall from 100 billion dollars all the way to billions, and finally billions of dollars Yahoo.

In the year 2000, this is the general situation of Google today.

"Good afternoon."

Looking at the strange-looking Google founder in front of him, dressed as a typical Silicon Valley programmer, Abel smiled and said:

"Mr. Larry Page, Mr. Serge Bryn, it's a pleasure to meet you."

Larry Page and Serge Brin are actually as young as Abel.

It's just that in the past year, with the rapid development of Google.

There are too many VCs and financial firms waving checks and coming to block the door of these two people.

Both of them are accustomed to the experience of meeting investors today.

It has been nearly half a year since the Internet bubble.

The number of investors who come to their doors is much smaller, and the numbers on the checks they wave are much lower.

This also makes Larry Page and Serge Brin a lot better for investors.

It's no longer like at the beginning of this year, a little bit of a sense of superiority.

"Hello, Mr. Smith." Larry Page responded with a smile.

Serge Brin said hello with a smile in the same way.

After the opening scene was simple, Abel's words were very direct.

He got straight to the point and said, "Invite the two of you to come and meet, my purpose is very simple. That's why I want to be a shareholder of Google! ”

He said it so directly that Serge Brin and Larry Page couldn't help but look at each other.

Every investor who comes to meet the two of them wants to become a shareholder in Google.

But it's the first time I've seen someone as direct as Abel.

Larry Page said, "Sir, every investor who meets us wants to be a shareholder in Google. ”

Serge Brin didn't speak, and when facing outsiders, Larry Peggy was in charge most of the time.

Even in interpersonal relationships and company management, Larry Page is just as capable.

Abel was not verbose, and he directly made an offer to make Larry Page and Serge Brin sit up straight.

"I want 20% of the stock, and I'm willing to give up $500 million. And I can grant you the voting rights of my stock all the time, to ensure that you manage and control the company. ”

Larry Page glanced at Serge Brin again, and he saw that the latter was also looking at himself.

After hearing this offer, both of them sat up straight.

Google is very valuable, and this is indeed the perception of the whole of Silicon Valley now.

Earlier this year, Yahoo made a $2 billion offer to Google.

That was the price before the dot-com bubble.

After the dot-com bubble was burst, Yahoo offered another price of only $1.2 billion.

In other words, Yahoo now thinks Google is only worth so much money.

However, Abel knew that in a parallel time and space.

Yahoo, which recovers some of its vitality next year, will spend $3 billion to buy Google again.

But at that time, it was not yet September 11th.

The whole Internet has more or less replied with some anger.

Serge Brin and Larry Page, among other shareholders of the company.

Are no longer satisfied with this offer from Yahoo.

They want more.

Again, they rejected the offer.

Then on September 11th, the Internet, which had just picked up, fell into a slump.

Larry Page and Serge Brin, who wanted to sell Google for a good price, found that no one was willing to take over for a while.

Woe and fortune relied on, and the two people who continued to hold and develop Google made more money later.

It's just that before that, the two really had the heart to sell Google.

The reason for this is that, until now, Google has never made a single cent.

In addition, it is now the period when the dot-com bubble has been punctured the most.

The market as a whole is extremely pessimistic, which also affects the two co-founders.

Between now and next year, Serge Brin and Larry Page are the ones who want to sell Google the most.

This is also the reason why they will be particularly excited in the face of Abel's offer.

What's more, Abel is also willing to give them the right to vote, which is a factor that makes the two even more excited.
