Chapter 208: Fear of death is not Abel's exclusive attribute

There is the guidance of Liv Taylor, a "senior colleague".

Plus someone's discipline is actually just like that.

What is said and what is done has always been different.

What is in the heart is often easily shaken.

Scarlett Johansson is far earlier than Abel imagined.

Earlier became his real employee.

On the morning of February 11.

At about half past seven, Abel had breakfast and began his morning workout.

Since his rebirth, he has always maintained the habit of going to bed late and waking up early.

Every night, he mostly rested at three or four o'clock.

The next day, I often wake up at seven o'clock.

This once made him very worried, worried that there was something wrong with his body.

Later, he spent a lot of money to bring in the best doctors to do a physical examination for himself.

At first, he was worried that his secrets would be revealed.

Later, he discovers that his true secret cannot be revealed.

What can be leaked is not a secret at all.

For example, his ultra-high male hormone secretion, as well as metamorphosis and other physical recovery and deep sleep quality.

He had been examined so many times, and the results of each medical examination were told to him.

He is very healthy.

There was even a sleep expert who stayed up for several nights to do a sleep test for him.

The results of the test were also very healthy.

He is the freak of human beings in terms of physique, one in a million.

Only then did he feel a little relieved that he was not sick like this.

It's that the body is really good.

The doctors were so good to him.

Most of the speculation and research is based on genetic inheritance or acquired mutations.

Only Abel himself knew that he had this healthy body.

It may most likely be related to your own experience that is different from ordinary people.

And this also made him cherish his body more.

Since then, he's been exercising consistently.

No matter how good the kitchen knife is, it will rust if you don't sharpen it hard.

He felt that no matter how good his body was, if he didn't pay attention, he would deform one day.

If it's really deformed, your physical strength will decrease.

That's terrible.

There is so much beauty in this world, and he wants to enjoy it for a few more years!

At half past seven in the morning, the workout was finished.

That is, before half past eight.

He's done with getting up, running, showering, eating, and so on.

And at this time, the two "employees" in the room.

They're still asleep.

At nine o'clock, Abel left Paradise Cove Villa.

Around one o'clock in the afternoon.

Paradise Cove Villa, in the largest master bedroom.

Liv Taylor opened her eyes slowly.

She was full of energy, but physically tired.

Liv looked up at the unfamiliar ceiling above her for a moment.

I stared at the ceiling for a few minutes, and spent the hazy time when I first woke up.

Liv turned sideways, and she was already surprised that there was no man by her side.

And another young figure of the same sex appeared next to him.

She's just as surprised.

The last time we woke up together in the morning.

The same-sex woman who was lying in the same bed with her was Sarah Michelle Gayla.

Lying with her this time, Liv Taylor knew that her name was Scarlett Johansson.

Liv Taylor suddenly discovered.

Whether it's Sarah or Scarlett, or herself.

All three are child stars.

There are people in the family who are in Hollywood or the entertainment industry.

Previous experiences all

It's very similar, but the experience in Hollywood is different.

"Wonderful similarities, bad encounters."

Liv Taylor muttered.

She saw Scarlett sleeping, her eyeballs fluttering under her eyelids.

Liv knew that it was a sign that a sleeping man was about to wake up.

It didn't take long for Scarlett to open her eyes too.

At first, she was looking at the ceiling as hazy as Liv had just been.

"Smack~"

Liv slapped her directly on the shoulder.

"It's one o'clock, it's almost afternoon. Still sleeping? Young people, you don't have to work."

Scarlett, who was a little hazy, was a little sober by her beating.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Scarlett's memories continued.

The blonde girl remembered where she was at this moment.

The two chatted for a while.

Liv got up first, and then Scarlett continued to lie down for a while before getting up slowly.

And waiting for the two of them, it was about two o'clock in the afternoon.

When I came out of the bedroom.

Abel himself, others have arrived in the Bay Area.

He met Warren Buffett in San Francisco, commonly known as San Francisco.

It's Warren who asked him to meet here.

Warren Buffett came here to inspect several companies.

Then the god of stocks, when he heard that Abel was also nearby, asked him out.

The two met in San Francisco, an ordinary café.

One more thing.

Warren Buffett also has his own security company.

It's the scale, it's nowhere near as big as Abel's Rock Security.

After all, Abel still wants to play PMC and try to be the king of war.

The number of bodyguards brought by the two of them is a bit large.

The bodyguards of two people filled the entire café.

So among the rich in the United States.

The attribute of fear of death is not an exclusive attribute of Abel.

Really reach a certain level, a real rich person.

It can be said that there is no one who is not afraid of death and does not pay attention to his own security work.

This is especially true of America's plutocrats!

The most typical is Soros.

Lao Suo's side, within the same class, is rumored to be around him, and there are even professional secret services and FBl or ClA people working.

The reason is that Soros is still the financial sword of Wall Street.

A lot of the time, whether the old one wants it or not.

Lao Suo will be pushed by the people behind him, or even directly the White House, to invade small countries financially.

Lao Suo's numerous crimes in the financial war.

It is enough for those countries that have been financially invaded by him to launch a physical and physical counterattack against him.

You can see if Lao Suo dares to go to Southeast Asia.

This is also the reason why Soros's security work has those special staff.

People are really fighting for the country!

Even if this "country" is often just a representative of the capitalists.

Compared with him, Abel and Buffett are much more normal.

"Hi, good afternoon. Warren~"

After last year's Smith Investment Reception.

Abel and Warren Buffett have become friends.

Buying and selling is not benevolent.

At that time, Warren Buffett, although he did not succeed in investing in Smith Capital.

But the two chatted quite well at the time, and the relationship naturally fell down.

"Good afternoon." The old guy smiled and said, "You've been on the West Coast for a long time. Hollywood has been stirred up by you for so long. People who don't know think you're really an entertainment mogul and forget that you are

The youngest giant on Wall Street."

"I'm not a giant." Abel smiled: "My head circumference is so standard, where is it 'huge'?"

"Hahaha~" Buffett laughed very face-wrenchingly.

As a stock god, there are very few people who say such boring homophonic jokes in front of him.

And with Abel's current identity, it is obvious that he can already start to be on an equal footing with him.

Even if the influence is a little worse, the wealth may be a little lower.

But on an equal footing, it is already enough.

What's more, it has been 35 years since Buffett accumulated these wealth.

And Abel is less than two years old!

In two years, Buffett has saved seventy or eighty percent of his net worth.

This speed is absolutely unprecedented.

"I know you're a guy who never has boring interactions."

Abel had coffee in his hand, but he didn't drink it.

This is what Warren Buffett gave him.

As soon as he smelled it, he knew it was cheap coffee in this café.

In addition, there is no bodyguard inspection, and there is nothing to confirm that it is safe.

When he is outside, Abel will not enter at will.

He looked at Buffett, "Otherwise, you guy wouldn't have put Berkshire Hathaway in that little place in Omaha."

"So let's be honest. Warren, what the hell are you looking for me?"

For Abel's directness, Buffett was not surprised.

Last time in New York, the stock god had already seen many aspects of Abel's directness.

In fact, this is the same as most Americans, including the upper elites of the United States.

Because I haven't learned the mean, I haven't learned the tactful Anglo-Sa people, many times it's so direct.

He took a sip of his coffee, then put it down before he spoke, "Do you want to be the American Express?"

Abel raised his eyebrows, surprised or surprised by Buffett's question.

Unexpectedly, because he didn't expect Buffett to chat with him for coffee because of the American Express incident

Not surprisingly, it was Abel who knew that Buffett took American Express very seriously.

In parallel time and space.

Buffett has been a heavy position in American Express since he became a shareholder of Amex, and it was the case until Abel crossed over.

This makes Warren Buffett a major shareholder of American Express.

And now on the list of shareholders of American Express, the first place is still Buffett.

But Smith Capital in fourth place, and Pacific Commercial Bank in fifth place.

The combined stake of the two companies has surpassed Buffett's 11.4%.

Americans know that the two companies look independent.

But there is only one boss behind them.

In other words, just pay attention to the proportion of shares held by these two companies.

Then you can find out.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is no longer the largest shareholder of Amex.

The largest shareholder of Amex has been replaced.

It was already Abel who was sitting in front of Buffett at this time.

"Why is this problem?" Abel smiled and responded:

"You're optimistic about American Express, and I'm also optimistic about American Express."

"Anyway, it's also a component of the Dow Jones. I think it's worth holding on to such a quality company for a long time, so it's natural to buy a stake in it."

His explanation did not satisfy Buffett.

"I've been studying you."

Warren Buffett whispered:

"In the materials I studied. Companies that show that you have a stake in more than 10% of the shares will slowly be eaten away by you and eventually become your property."

Abel responded, "I'm a shareholder

How many companies are there? Maybe not even a tenth of yours, right? With such a small amount of data, what is there to count? And what truth can be compared?"

Buffett smiled.

"But more importantly. The American Express business, and your American Pacific Commercial Bank, are a wonderful complement."

"If only we could merge with American Pacific Commercial Bank and American Express."

"The merged bank will make you one of the real giants in no time."

"I think this must be a very big temptation for you."

Seeing Buffett's confident look, Abel knew that people could come to the door.

That's sure you're going to think this way.

And that's exactly what I think.

Abel simply had a showdown.

"Okay. Then why did you find me? Warren, you didn't come to me just to persuade me to quit the board of directors of Amex, right?" Abel spread his hands and looked at Buffett.

"$300 billion, I want 5% of the shares."

Buffett suddenly said, "I'll satisfy you with shares in Amex and Berkshire, as well as some cash."

Abel raised his eyebrows again, he knew what Buffett was talking about.

He was also quick to react.

"Four thousand. 4%。」

"Yes. But the VAM must become 150, 300, 500, 700."

"Deal. Welcome to your fourth shareholder at Smiths Capital."

Abel stood up and reached out to Buffett with a smile on his face.

Buffett also smiled, stood up and shook his hand.

After a slight handshake, the two sat down separately.

The atmosphere between the two was obviously much better after this.

Abel asked curiously:

"Warren, are you so optimistic about me? You know, even the Texans haven't contacted me again."

"A lot of people say that my investment skills are steady, value investing."

Warren Buffett said seriously:

"But I don't think so, my real investment philosophy is actually to invest in "people" and brands."

"I am a strong shareholder of Coca-Cola because I recognize the brand."

"When I first invested in American Express, I was also investing in brands. But then re-investing in American Express is already investing in Howard. Clark."

Howard. Clark was the CEO of American Express in the 60s and 80s.

In those days, American Express had a near-bankruptcy crisis.

It's Howard. Clark took American Express out of the quagmire and into a very good situation.

"This time." Warren Buffett set his sights on Abel:

"I'm investing in you, dear Mr. Abel Smith."

Abel shrugged.

He scoffed a little at Buffett's statement.

Scold. If there was no gambling agreement, Abel would almost believe it!

What does it mean to invest in brand investment and "people"?

In the end, isn't it because there is that VAM agreement at the bottom?

&,

&,

&,

&。

The four-year VAM agreement requires a total profit of more than $165 billion over four years.

Just the profits of these four years.

It can already allow investors to return one-third of their capital.

In this way, the annualized return is about a little higher than about 10% on average.

This kind of annualized return is similar to Buffett's own investment in recent years.

Not to mention such a huge investment.

It is inherently much more difficult to make them profitable than it is to make small batches of money.

Buffett's words, Abel estimated

At best, half of the story is true.

The other half is based on the VAM agreement.

"That's right." Buffett suddenly smiled and asked:

"Just now you said I was Smith Capital, the fourth shareholder."

"Who are the first three?"

"I, David Mellon, and a Texan." Abel replied directly.

"Oh, Texans." Warren Buffett understands in seconds.

Look at the way he understood.

Abel laughed in his heart, in fact, strictly speaking, you are the first real investor.

Those two investors. People take dry shares, and they only have the right to dividends in the early stage.

It will be a long time before we can guarantee support for Smith Capital.

to be able to become the kind of real shares.

The right to dividends will always be in the hands of Abel.

So whether they can get the money or not depends on Abel in the end.

As a result of this incident, Berkshire Hathaway officially took a stake in Smith Capital

After the two leaders of their two countries have determined the basic intention of cooperation.

Naturally, there will be more detailed negotiations between the relevant personnel of the two companies in the future, as well as the study of the contract.

In this kind of matter, professional accountants, actuaries and lawyers naturally intervene.

Among the top 10 private companies in the United States, there are three or four companies such as PricewaterhouseCoopers.

That's what they do.

The next two men chatted for a while.

Soon after, Warren Buffett left.

The stock god will continue to inspect the company.

Unlike Abel, Buffett was looking to invest in a company.

The old guy will be very active in researching the company, attending the company's shareholders' meeting, and visiting the company on the spot.

It's like playing a game.

Some players carefully look for strategies, study the clearance video, and finally work hard to clear the customs.

Some players can enter "999" at the beginning.

The back is to directly buy, buy, buy, build, build, build, build

Those who can be opened, and those who cannot.

The gameplay is naturally different.

Sending off Warren Buffett, the protagonist did not leave St. Francesc.

It's all here, so naturally I'm going to go to a few of his companies here.

For example, at the request of his largest shareholder, he also moved to Google in Palo Alto.
