Chapter 229: Copyright Inc. and Tesla
Sunny California, whether it is with a little salty sea breeze or warm sunshine, every Californian looks relaxed and laid-back, which is the norm in California.

Beverly Hills, 812 North Bedford Road.
in the infinity pool.
Abel jumped into the crystal clear pool with two half-sized Rottweilers.
These two Rottweilers were last Christmas.
Abel brought out Denise's two children from the farm kennel in his hometown.
A super-rich man like him, of course, doesn't have much time to raise a dog.
The two little Rottweilers, who were only one month old at the time, were brought in by a senior dog trainer who kept them with Abel.
When Abel is free, he will look at them.
This time they came from New York to California, and they were brought with them.
Previously, they had reached the tail docking period of Rottweilers, and they needed to start tail docking, so they were placed in a pet hospital.
As the name suggests, the tail docking of Rottweilers is the cutting off of their originally long tails.
Because Rottweilers are mostly used as working dogs, there are very few chances of using their tails for activity.
At work, the tail is too long, and it is easy to get injured and infected.
When fighting, in order to cultivate its combat effectiveness and prevent it from yielding to others, it will be given a broken tail.
In fact, it is humans who think that the rottweiler with a docked tail is more beautiful.
Coupled with the fact that it has no effect on their bodies, it has become a tradition for the rottweilers who are raised.
At this time, they are already five months old, and they are already half-sized dogs, and their size is growing rapidly.
Abel had already chosen a name for them.
One is called Marvel and the other is called DreamWorks.
It is the name of two companies under Abel.
Call your own dog by the company's name, or call the company by the dog.
In Chinese culture, this is somewhat insulting.
But in European and American cultures, there is not much derogatory connotation.
Although dog meat is also allowed in many places in the United States, many people also eat dog meat.
But that doesn't stop more Americans from treating dogs as their domestic companions.
In this way, in the traditional culture of Europe and the United States.
The status of dogs in Europe and the United States is slightly higher than that of their counterparts in China.
In other words, Abel gave his dog the name of the company, which would not be particularly obtrusive and not very derogatory here.
Besides, both companies are his companies.
Even if there is a pejorative meaning, it is he himself who is belittling his own company.
It's useless for others to say.
Abel's two five-month-old Rottweilers look very strong.
There are professional dog trainers who have been training and they have begun to learn to take care of the home, defend and attack.
"DreamWorks, you guy, don't bully Marvel. Haha, help, I'm drowning, stupid dog, what are you running, let you save me."
At the edge of the pool, the captain of the bodyguard with two guns in his waist helplessly supported his forehead.
Edward sometimes felt that the boss was cold like a real capitalist.
Sometimes he is indecisive like a boy.
Sometimes it's like a nagging old father.
Sometimes. For example, now, like a naΓ―ve little boy.
Edward didn't know what Abel really was.
This old Texan, only knows that Abel is very good to the Sephorosa family.
Good to him, good to his two children.
That would be enough for Edward.
"Marvel, you stupid, you have grown so much meat for nothing. Stupid, don't show your belly. You're a fierce dog, a fierce dog, not a husky! β
Abel sat on the edge of the pool, holding Marvel's head between his arms, counting and falling.
Watching Marvel lying on the ground as a scoundrel, his forelimbs bent and his belly exposed, he wanted Abel to touch it.
DreamWorks grabbed the edge of the pool from the water, jumped ashore, and then flicked the water droplets on his body, splashing Abel, pacing to the other side, and began to lick Abel's cheeks.
Able reached out and touched its head, and DreamWorks looked like it was enjoying it, and lay down and pressed its head against the marble edge of the pool.
At this time, Lincoln, a black bodyguard, walked up to Edward and said a few words to Edward.
Edward nodded, and the bodyguard captain walked over to Abel.
The two Rottweilers who were originally enjoying themselves beside Abel.
Sensing the sound of footsteps approaching, they immediately turned over, leaned down, and looked at Edward as he approached with a slightly threatening look, already in a state of attack.
Fortunately, it was Edward who came over, and Edward fed them.
The two puppies whined, and Able laughed and grabbed their necks with both hands.
You get what you pay for, and the Rottweiler fruit raised by a dog trainer of more than 10,000 dollars a month has a very good effect.
Abel knew that at this time, he only needed to give an attack order.
These two Rottweilers will definitely rush over.
Edward also knew that when he stood about two meters in front of the boss, he spoke: "Boss, Harvey Weinstein is here." β
"Oh?" Abel touched the two half-sized dogs, and then he said, "Then let him come." β
"Okay." Edward nodded.
At the door of the villa.
One of Hollywood's famous independent filmmakers.
One of the founders of Miramax Corporation.
One of Hollywood's famous big names.
Harvey Weinstein, a fat man with a large build, walked into the luxurious villa.
At this moment, Harvey Weinstein's mood was slightly excited.
The fat man didn't expect that one day he would attract the attention of such a big man.
To be honest, before this, Harvey Weinstein had personally seen the highest-ranking existence, and it was only the CEOs or general managers of a few Hollywood giants.
Like Disney's Michael Eisner, he is already the biggest big man Harvey Weinstein has ever seen.
But Harvey Weinstein knew he was going to meet the young man later.
In Hollywood, the ecological niche is much higher than that of Michael Eisner.
If you count the ecological niche in American society as a whole.
That's even higher than Michael Eisner, I don't know how high.
Harvey Weinstein couldn't figure out why he wanted to see him.
But after confirming that it wasn't a joke, but true.
This big fat man who is very famous in Hollywood immediately rushed over.
Harvey Weinstein is a very knowledgeable person.
The fat man knows who he can mess with and who he can't.
Obviously, anyone in this villa is an existence that he can't mess with.
So the whole time he entered the villa, Harvey Weinstein didn't squint at all.
The fat man only stared at the back of the bodyguard leading the way in front of him, and was taken by the bodyguard to an infinity pool.
Harvey Weinstein also took the opportunity to see the man who was playing in the pool with two not very large Rottweilers.
After the other person wavs his hand to summon.
Harvey Weinstein was respectful, and the fat man, accompanied by two bodyguards, came to Abel Smith.
"Good morning, Mr. Smith." Harvey Weinstein's voice greeted respectfully.
"Good morning. Mr. Weinstein. β
The fat man heard the young man's voice, gentle and magnetic.
"Mr. Weinstein, I asked you to come over because I have something to discuss with you."
Harvey Weinstein hurriedly said, "Mr. Smith, please speak." β
"I want to start a copyright company. The company's goal is to acquire as many valuable IP rights as possible from all over the world. β
"But I couldn't find a suitable general manager for this company."
"My advisory group recommended you to me. They say you have very good abilities in the copyright and entertainment industry. β
"So I want to extend an invitation to you to come and work for me in this company."
Abel didn't lie about what he said to Harvey Weinstein.
The reason why Abel found Harvey Weinstein was really the advice of the advisory group.
In fact, Abel already had an idea about the copyright company.
It's because it's not particularly important, and it doesn't have enough weight in Abel's mind.
This time in Los Angeles, he just remembered it.
Abel mentioned it to his advisors, who immediately laid out a rough plan for him.
Even the leaders of the copyright company listed several for Abel.
It has the name of Harvey Weinstein in it.
Among several shortlists, Abel picked Harvey Weinstein at once.
Without him, Abel just remembered that before the fat man's accident, this fat man was able to earn such a big influence in Hollywood from scratch with his own work ability.
Ignoring the personal morality of the fat man, it is just in terms of ability.
This fat man will undoubtedly be very suitable to be the general manager of a copyright company.
Besides.
Abel felt that Harvey Weinstein had done to women for so many years without incident.
It didn't happen until 2017.
That only proves one thing.
That is, after 2017, this fat man may have offended someone who can't afford to offend, or Harvey Weinstein has begun to give those women what they want.
Eventually, the matter will be revealed, and then he will be ruined and imprisoned.
Because as far as Abel knows, there are not a thousand people in Hollywood who do the same thing as Harvey, but at least a hundred or so people.
Like Michael Ovitz, this guy is actually an enhanced version of Harvey Weinstein.
It's just that Ovitz doesn't enjoy it himself, and only acts as a high-class pimp.
Someone like Harvey Weinstein.
In the modeling circle and entertainment industry all over the world, it is really too common.
This kind of thing is actually quite understandable.
For example, there is a female character, and there are currently three actresses who are all suitable.
The company background behind them is similar.
Characters who can decide who the character belongs to.
Among the three actresses, of course, only the one that suits them the most will be chosen.
So which one is the most desirable?
Of course the most obedient one.
Otherwise, the three of them have the same conditions, why should the big man pick you?
The probability of such a thing as Mary Sue happening in reality is extremely low.
This kind of deal.
In Hollywood and the world's modeling circles, it's not even an unspoken rule anymore.
It's the rules.
The kind that is on the surface.
Harvey Weinstein was at fault, he didn't fulfill his responsibilities later, and let an actress denounce him.
Coupled with the fat man's own influence and ability, he can't cover it up.
In the end, the incident could only happen in the east window, and Lin Zhong was imprisoned.
In fact, strictly speaking, Abel is much more serious than Harvey Weinstein in this regard.
Like Liv at the beginning, and Scarlett, and Charlize.
And the angels in Elizabeth's back garden.
It is also that Abel is more capable and wealthy, and Abel himself is more generous while being good-looking.
This made them feel that this kind of thing was actually Abel's loss, not their loss.
made them more and more willing to Abel.
But one day, Abel loses all his wealth, and all his power and influence.
The fate of Harvey Weinstein in that parallel time and space will most likely be his fate.
The difference is Abel's looks and figure.
It would make those women a little less accountable for him.
It was because he knew this situation that Abel was willing to use Harvey Weinstein.
As long as the fat man can do good things for himself, then the other problems are just minor problems.
The premise is that fat people, like everyone else, know how to behave.
Otherwise, Abel has a thousand ways to make the fat man regret being a man.
At this time, he faced the invitation of Abel, a legendary big man.
Harvey Weinstein was at war with heaven and man.
The fat man was reluctant to take his place in the Miramax company.
Even though Miramax has been acquired by Disney, he and his brother are still big names in Miramax.
But Harvey Weinstein, on the other hand, did not dare to directly refuse Abel's request.
This gentleman was so angry that even the Manhattan District Attorney dared to do it.
The granddaughter of the Manhattan District Attorney ended up dating him.
Harvey didn't feel like he had the power of the Manhattan District Attorney.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he saw that Abel had been staring at him.
Especially beside Abel, there are two half-sized Rottweilers who look fierce at this time.
They looked at the fat man with doggy eyes, making the fat man feel that as long as Abel let go. The next moment they will rush through with ferocity, tearing themselves to shreds.
Harvey was ruthless in his heart, made up his mind, and spoke:
"Good! I grant your invitation, Mr. Smith! But in terms of pay"
"I'll give you double your current annual salary at Miramax. At the same time, 1% of the profits generated by the copyrights acquired by you will belong to you. Abel spoke.
Harvey Weinstein is afraid of Abel's identity and abilities.
But when it comes to the fat man's own interests, Harvey Weinstein is not so afraid.
"1% is too little. Mr. Smith, I think 4 percent would be a good number. β
"2%, that's my bottom line."
"Okay, just 2%!" Harvey Weinstein was intimidated and immediately accepted the condition.
"Then it's settled." Abel said with a smile.
Looking at the sunny smile *** Most Hollywood male stars are good-looking Abel.
Harvey Weinstein's heart also issued the same complaints as many Hollywood bigwigs who saw Abel's appearance with their own eyes-
looks so handsome and tall, even in the entertainment industry, you can eat a good bowl of rice.
After chatting with Harvey Weinstein, Abel was in no mood to stay with the fat man any longer.
Abel waved his hand and summoned someone from another advisory group.
A middle-aged man named George Williams was a former CPA at PricewaterhouseCoopers.
"George, excuse me, go and sign a professional contract with this Mr. Weinstein. At the same time, there is also the structure of the new company, which is also in the hands of the two of you. β
"By the way, the name of the copyright company is called."
Abel looked at the two half-sized Rottweilers beside him, and said with a smile:
"The name of the new company will be Rottweiler, and the logo and image of the company will be like my two Rottweilers."
"I hope that in the future, in the field of IP copyright, this new company can capture the copyright for my home care home, just like them."
In the end, Abel said: "The starting capital of the Rottweiler company, let's give 200 million dollars for the time being." β
His last sentence made Harvey Weinstein, a fat man, speechless.
A new company, and yet nothing. With a starting capital of $200 million, Miramax has been in business for more than ten years, and it has been several years since it was acquired by Disney.
Miramax has never had $200 million in his account.
At this moment, Harvey Weinstein is also in the same management as other Abel's media companies.
I experienced the feeling of not being bad for money that is rare in the industry.
also let Harvey Weinstein know why MGM's management is now the most envious and jealous group of executives of all entertainment companies in the entire Hollywood.
There is such a generous boss.
It would be strange if you didn't envy it.
Harvey Weinstein respectfully said goodbye to Abel and happily followed George Williams away.
As soon as the fat man left, Able waved his hand and called Edward over.
"Now, I'm a little worried about this fat man." Abel said, "Put one or two people by his side and keep an eye on him at all times, understand?" β
Edward thought to himself, don't you worry, don't you just don't need this fat man?
But it's just thinking about it.
In action, Edward never questioned or defied any of Abel's decisions.
Edward nodded: "Understood, I'll arrange it." β
Fortunately, after Rock Security moved to Texas, more and more people were recruited, and all aspects became more and more professional.
Otherwise, this kind of surveillance, espionage and other things, let a security company do it, it is really not good.
When Edward went to call to explain his errands, Abel lost his interest in swimming.
He had the dog trainer called over and the two Rottweilers to take care of.
Abel himself went back to the bedroom and changed into a clean set of clothes.
At about ten o'clock in the morning, Abel's motorcade left 812 North Bedford Road in Beverly Hills.
At around two o'clock in the afternoon, Abel appeared in Palo Alto, California's San Francisco Bay Area.
In the northwest suburbs of Palo Alto, the headquarters and R&D bases of Tesla New Energy and Google are here.
As soon as the convoy arrived, Abel naturally went first to his own son Tesla.
In Tesla's top-secret research studio.
Abel saw a car that looked full of science and technology and already had a bit of a future new energy vehicle.
Next to Abel stood Tesla's CEO Jackster Cage and Chief Technology Officer Professor Hans.
Looking at the electric car, which already had a bit of a future appearance, Abel asked with interest: "Is this the prototype?" Can it move? β
Jack Cage smiled and said, "Let our CTO answer the technical questions." β
Professor Hans took the lead, and the old professor smiled and said, "No problem, dear Mr. Smith, how about I introduce you to our prototype?" β
"Okay."
Abel was succinct.
Thanks to Q boss for the tip! The first alliance leader in this book, it's not easy, the alliance leader is finally not empty.
At the same time, I also thank Yi X boss, TT boss, embarrassed boss, prince boss, wild boar boss and so on.
In short, thank you for all the rewards, monthly votes, recommendation votes, and the most important thing is the big guys who are all set, thank you!!
