The routine is not afraid of getting old, as long as it works.

The same routine that Abel had already used once on Ikana was just as effective on little Laura.

A quick sketch of little Laura, in exchange for a sweet kiss from her.

It's the weekend, and little Laura doesn't have to go to school.

After running and drawing, after breakfast.

Abel pulls little Laura and embarks on a boat at South Street Harbor in Manhattan.

Although this kind of weather is especially suitable for going out to sea.

Whether it's a yacht ride or a small island to visit, it's very good.

But Abel's Ikana, now all over his body, is full of Ikana's breath.

There's no way he's going to take little Laura with him.

He is also reluctant to borrow someone else's yacht, or rent a yacht.

So taking little Laura with you is not as simple as going to sea to play.

It took about half an hour for the two to arrive in the town of Big Neck, Long Island, New York.

Located on the north shore of Long Island, Big Neck is one of the affluent areas of New York.

It is called Big Neck because the whole town is a peninsula with a silhouette like a neck, surrounded by water on three sides, and the scenery is beautiful.

Nine of the 25 towns with the highest average income in the nation are here.

The two of them, their assistants, and their bodyguards, came here by sea.

The crowd disembarked at the deep-water pier of a seaside estate.

As soon as she got off the boat, little Laura saw a beautiful and huge classical Western-style manor house behind the deep-water pier.

She was very interested and said, "Is this your house?"

Abel smiled and nodded, "Yes, let's go in and have a look."

Little Laura walked in front with joy, and Abel followed her.

Marcus of the Secret Service, who is in charge of the security of Little Laura, the team leader, looks at the luxurious, beautiful and dignified mansion in front of him.

Marcus couldn't help but whisper to Edward next to him:

"Hey, is this your boss's house too? It looks so big, so beautiful, it must be worth tens of millions, right?"

Edward glanced at Marcus and succinctly spat out a number, "Five million dollars."

Marcus couldn't help but be stunned.

The Secret Service is the leader of the Seventh Group, and Marcus knows that he will not be able to afford such a house for the rest of his life.

This allowed him to officially come to the fortune of the Kiabel for the first time.

Marcus couldn't help but ask softly again:

"Hey~ bro, we may see each other more often in the future. Can I ask you a question?"

"Say." Edward was much colder in front of Marcus.

It's not that Edward doesn't like Marcus.

It's not that Edward doesn't like to talk.

Usually Edward is in front of the other three Donkey Kongs, as well as Abel and other bodyguards, but he actually likes to talk.

It's the people he is facing now, the Secret Service.

Edward was afraid that his words would accidentally reveal his boss's secrets.

After all, people are professionals.

Therefore, when Edward faced Marcus, he would be reticent.

"I'd like to ask." Marcus looked a little embarrassed and embarrassed, "Maybe that's a bit offensive. I'm really curious, brother, how much can you earn in a year under Mr. Abel Smith?"

It's no secret that this is the problem.

Edward thought for a moment and said, "A fixed annual salary of one million dollars, along with other benefits."

"Million Dollar ?!!!" Marcus's voice couldn't help but get a little louder, attracting the attention of several people next to him, and even Abel and Little Laura in front of him turned their heads.

Marcus hurriedly apologized to everyone with apologies, saying that he had just accidentally made a fuss.

When the embarrassment passed, Marcus whispered in disbelief, "A million dollars a year? I heard you right, brother."

Edward could see how small the secret service was

Team leader, the shock just now is real.

The captain of the bodyguard thought it was funny, and Edward was serious:

"What's there to fool you? Our treatment is open in the company. In addition, we will tell you that our salaries are all after taxes."

"After tax." Marcus's voice almost got louder again, but fortunately he reacted immediately and put his hands over his mouth to control the volume.

This made Edward feel more and more funny, and the captain of the bodyguard wanted to tease the Secret Service team leader.

Edward Says:

"Our BOSS is the number one VIP of the IRS, a super tax citizen. Every week, we go through the IRS process and we can use it as we please."

Work for a regular company in the United States. Generally, wages are paid once every Friday, and very few companies pay wages once every two weeks.

In the United States, there is generally no monthly salary, and it is basically an annual salary.

If you count 52 weeks in a year, you will be paid 52 times or 26 times.

Adding up this money is the annual salary, and the bonus is calculated separately.

Looking at Edward's confident and proud appearance, Marcus's eyes straightened.

After thinking about it, Marcus asked in a low voice:

"How can you earn so much? You're already the most profitable in your company, right?"

Edward nodded, "I'm the captain of the bodyguards, and I do have the most annual salary among the bodyguards."

Oh, and the first place is only a million dollars a year.

Thinking of this, Marcus breathed a sigh of relief.

That's fine. What a fart!

Marcus knew that the most earnest in the Secret Service was less than half a million dollars a year.

Not even a Grand Commander who lives in a house!

The Commander-in-Chief's standard salary is only $400,000 a year, and this is only after the June 1999 salary increase.

Before that, the U.S. Commander-in-Chief had an annual salary of $200,000.

Of course, I can be the commander.

That little salary is really nothing.

At this time, Marcus heard Edward say:

"There is a huge disparity between the salaries of our bodyguards. I earn the most, earning around a million dollars a year. The worst income is less than $180,000 after taxes."

Listening to his previous words, Marcus nodded repeatedly, and Marcus felt that the income disparity was normal.

But the number that broke out later made Marcus almost think that he had heard it wrong.

"How much?" Marcus couldn't help but lean closer to Edward, "What is the lowest paid bodyguard you just mentioned?"

"$180,000 after tax."

"$180,000!" Marcus suppressed the thought of shouting, "Or after taxes?"

In the latter sentence, Marcus's voice changed a little.

In response to Marcus, Edward nodded calmly.

At this point, Marcus wanted to ask, and asked if Rock Security was going to recruit.

Compared to the income of the rock security bodyguards.

Marcus felt that the income of the USSS, that is, the Secret Service, was pitiful.

Secret Service staff, recruited only internally.

Generally, the recruitment targets are in the U.S. military, U.S. police, FBl, ClA and other armed departments, and the best of the best recruits.

It is necessary to examine ability, but also to examine family background and political trial.

This also makes the personnel of the USSS often better.

Better people, of course, are matched with better internal compensation.

At USSS, regular Secret Service personnel, if they can be supervisors, earn $000 per year.

The lowest paid are the technical support operators, who are responsible for maintenance and repair work, and there is basically no danger.

These people earn the lowest annual salary, starting from $ 76. Then there are the technicians and their team leaders, who are paid $17 a year, and the top department head earns $771 a year

。

The most common are newly recruited Secret Service field agents who have undergone 5 months of training.

It's to be a bodyguard, Marcus and them. The annual salary is $55, and the annual salary of managers is $008, and Marcus himself is in this gear.

He earns about $130,000 a year, plus various field allowances.

With a little hard work in a year, you can almost earn about $180,000 in income.

But all of this income is pre-tax income, and you have to pay taxes as well as the USSS team leader.

&The only one who can't be checked is the current commander.

But the commander will always step down, and once he leaves office, the IRS can check again.

Fortunately, as a staff member of the special department.

Marcus has certain tax incentives, and after paying the taxes, about 13 to 140,000 dollars a year will fall into his pocket.

His income is already considered a high income in the United States.

The average monthly salary of the average American is about $2,500-$3,000.

The average American earns more than $40,000 a year at most.

There are a total of 50 states in the United States, and each state has a different salary level and a different level of consumption, for example, people living in New York have an annual income of 80,000 US dollars to spend, because everything is expensive in first-tier cities.

Except for a few first-tier cities in the United States, the consumption level of the rest of the states is not too much.

In other states in the United States, an annual income of $40,000 can support a family, but they can't save a little money, and if they need to pay off the mortgage, it will be very stressful.

Marcus's income is enough for him to live well anywhere in the United States.

Until then, Marcus was very satisfied.

But here in Edward today, I heard that Rock Security has the lowest annual income, which is about $180,000 after tax.

Marcus was unbalanced.

In an instant, the leader of the USSS team felt that his struggle for more than 20 years was nothing.

Looking at Edward, whose face was calm, Marcus couldn't help but look ahead.

At this time, little Laura and Abel had already walked into the vicinity of the manor's waterfront pool.

Marcus suddenly approached Edward, lowered his voice, and said mysteriously:

"That. . . Brother, good brother, Edward, good Edward. I want to ask, do you rock security recruit bodyguards?"

"Uh" Edward looked at Marcus a little speechless.

After thinking about it, Edward had to be expressionless:

"I don't know. But you can go to Tarrant County, Texas, and ask our headquarters."

"There's no need to bother." Marcus Says:

"You're the captain, and the boss is there. Wouldn't it be okay to ask you directly or your boss directly?"

"Then go ask my boss." Edward said.

Marcus said, "I want to ask too, but that would be a violation of the USSS rules, and that's a crime."

"Then I'll have to wait until you take a vacation and go to Texas to ask." Edward's Stall:

"I don't care about these things. I'm only responsible for the security of my OSS."

"Okay." Marcus was dumbfounded.

Unbeknownst to Abel, Edward boasted to Marcus.

If he knew, Abel would have laughed it off at best.

That's right, among the bodyguards of Rock Security, the lowest annual income after tax is about $180,000.

But such bodyguards are only about 100 people in the entire rock security.

The bodyguard department of Rock Security is separate from other departments such as the PMC department.

The bodyguard department has the most lucrative income, because the bodyguard department is the elite who follow Abel and the women around Abel.

The Four King Kongs, Dony, Jane, Mary, Kinna, etc., etc., these people have this income.

Other rock security staff outside of the bodyguard department

, the salary is not so exaggerated.

There is a salary and treatment level within Rock Security, which is currently on a scale of 1-12.

& Rating: An annual salary of one million dollars after taxes, as well as a variety of benefits that can be seen and seen.

The lowest level of Band 1 is $35,000 per year after taxes, as well as appropriate benefits.

In the whole company, there is only one Edward at level 12.

The other three King Kong and Doni are only 8-10 level treatment.

Edward's words to Marcus here are actually high-minded.

But Marcus didn't know that the Secret Service team leader had seen the information about the Rock Security.

Marcus knew about the company, and there were thousands of staff members capable of fighting. Marcus also thought that among the thousands of people, the lowest salary was 180,000 after tax.

In this way, when it is paired with his own income, Marcus's reaction will be so great.

In fact, Marcus's income after tax is about 13 to 140,000 US dollars.

Even in the rock security, it can be ranked to about level 6.

This job, apart from the personal bodyguards who have to block guns when necessary, there are not many people in the rock security who can get it.

"Huh? How can there be so many engineering vehicles?"

In Marcus's depressed state, the group had already arrived at the manor.

In the manor, little Laura saw a lot of construction machinery, construction vehicles, that is, excavators, loaders, bulldozers and the like.

"Because I'm going to bulldoze everything around the neighborhood and rebuild it." Abel beside her explained with a smile.

Little Laura: "Why?"

"I bought this house. It's 18 acres and $50 million."

"I also bought the house on the left, 8 acres, 20 million dollars."

"I bought the house on its right, 25 acres, 55 million dollars."

"I bought the two houses behind it, two in total, adding up to about 30 acres. Because it's cheaper not to be near the sea, it's only $30 million in total."

"Everything you can see in front of you, everything you can't see, a total of 81 acres, worth about $160 million."

"They're all mine now. I'm going to bulldoze them all and build a manor on top of them like never before!"

"I'm going to name it the Flower of Lauren. What do you think of the name, my dear?"

The numbers in Abel's mouth had already made little Laura stunned.

The "Laurentian Flower" in the back made a smile appear on her young and beautiful face: "Why the Lauren Flower?"

"Don't like Lauren's flowers? Then use the name Laura's flower?"

Little Laura laughed, "That's still Lauren's flower. What are you doing, there are so many people here."

She screamed a little, and it turned out that Abel was hugging her.

He leaned into her ear and whispered as he blew hot air into her earlobe—

"After two to three years, it's completely built. When the time comes. Right here, how about our engagement reception?"

Little Laura didn't know that it was the smell of his body, and the manly breath that came out of her mouth intoxicated her.

It was the content of his words that made his heart beat faster.

At this moment, she felt that she was all soft.

She gritted her teeth slightly, ignored the dozens of bodyguards and assistants around her, and raised her head and stepped on her feet - a bit of a bad scenery, because she was not tall enough to kiss.

Fortunately, Abel leaned over cooperatively, and the two kissed sweetly.

After a few minutes, separate.

Little Laura panted and said with a smile, "I like the name Lauren's flower!"

"I like it too." Abel laughed and leaned over and pecked her again.

The noble daughter of the bush family, the grandfather is the commander, the uncle is the commander, and the second uncle is the governor and has the hope of being the greatest

Commander, the third uncle is about to become the commander, what if the father can be the governor at worst in the future?

The conditions are right, and then use money to smash it, she will also be dizzy.

The only reason why those who can't be smashed is that the money they don't have is enough.

Or the person who throws the money is not in enough status.

Since No. 1 13th Road, New York, it has become Elizabeth's back garden.

Abel has always had the idea of buying a house on Long Island

Originally, he also wanted to buy ready-made ones directly at the emperor's side.

But then I felt that many of the ready-made mansions I might be dissatisfied with, and they might need to be remodeled later.

It's like No. 1 Huangdian 13th Road.

It's better to start from scratch and buy your own land and build it yourself.

is the land on Long Island, and what can make Abel look at it basically has a master, or there is already a house on it.

The new real estate helped the boss to find it, and finally Abel fell in love with the land near the town of Big Neck.

The total of 81 acres of land includes a pond of about 10 acres, a small hill more than 100 meters above sea level, a private beach that stretches for more than 1 kilometer, and ready-made tall forests, meadows, swamps, gardens and even farmland.

The point is that the location is too good.

It's less than 50 miles from Manhattan in a straight line and can be reached in an hour without traffic jams.

It can be reached in ten minutes by helicopter.

It only takes half an hour to take a yacht cruise from the deep-sea pier.

The location is excellent, and the key is to buy all the surrounding area, which is extremely concealed and safe.

The conditions are too suitable in all aspects.

Abel was ruthless and spent $155 million to buy this huge land in an excellent location.

He planned to bulldoze and rebuild it, and invited a well-known designer to directly help him design another house.

Not long ago, the land purchase contract was negotiated, and the construction has just begun to be bulldozed.

Looking for a designer.

Today he ran with little Laura in the morning, thinking that since he had already established a relationship with the other party.

In the future, I will deepen my cooperation with the shrub family, so show my sincerity to that side.

So he brought little Laura here and showed little Laura the "love nest" of the two in New York in the future.

That's where we are today.

Abel took little Laura by the hand and strolled through the manor, which had begun to be dismantled.

He pointed to the core of the 81 acres of land behind him, the hill that was about 100 meters above sea level.

"Look over there."

Abel said, "It was originally a small summer garden, and the original owner built a swimming pool and a small living room on it."

"I think it's a waste. I think we can bulldoze it and build the main part of the house on top of it."

Little Laura looked at the place he was pointing, and although she didn't know anything about civil engineering or construction, the little hill looked too small.

"Build the house on top of that? It looks small, and it can't build many houses on it, right?" Little Laura said.

Abel nodded:

"I can't really build many houses. But we can pile it up around it, and build an artificial hilltop around it. Then we can build our future home on the top of the mountain."

Little Laura felt that the amount of work must be very large, a big exaggeration.

But listening to Abel's opening and closing of her mouth is "our home", her heart is sweet.

"Okay." Little Laura also does not consider the current unrealistic, large amount of work.

She smiled and said happily, "Then it's on top, built in our home!"
