Chapter 301: European Hollywood

English is currently the most influential language in the world.

It has hundreds of spoken languages.

Although there are two main categories in it, that is, American English and British English.

But outside and inside these two categories, there is a high number of accents.

Not to mention anything else, in fact, many third brothers are also native speakers of English.

It's this part of the third brother, their English accent is amazing.

It's so amazing that most English-speaking foreigners can't understand their English.

But they themselves understand.

According to British statistics, there are four hundred and fifty-four spoken languages.

There are no statistics in the United States, but the spoken language is a little different in about the same area.

Like Abel himself, he didn't deliberately keep the reason.

When he first went to New York, the English he spoke was actually typical Southerner English, with a strong Southern flavor.

It is the standard accent of a representative red neck in the eyes of foreigners.

It's just that he didn't deliberately keep it later, and the soul is the reason for coming from the outside.

Having spent a long time in New York, his spoken language has now shifted towards the East Coast.

Of course, there are nuances in these accents.

Foreigners outside the U.S., even if they can speak English, can be difficult to distinguish.

For example, Sling Stard speaks English with a New York accent, but has no idea where the Abel accent is.

Even if you know, you don't care, and you're a linguist and a regional cannon expert, and you like to study these things.

"Soros came the other day." Face the straight to the point Sling Stad.

Abel didn't hesitate and moved Soros out directly, "He told me so too." ”

In fact, Soros didn't say that at all, he just said to go back and think about it.

But business negotiations, of course, are not biased in the case, can be blinded.

Sling Stader said: "We are more sincere. We can support you at the shareholder meeting and the board of directors, Mr. Smith. ”

"I heard that you have sold more than $3 billion of shares in General Electric."

Abel said, "How much voice do you have left in General Electric?" ”

Shiling Stard confidently said:

"We dare to say that this guarantee is certainly prepared. Dutch Pension Fund, EU Fund, Danish National Future Fund, Swedish Development Fund. As a shareholder of GE. They all want General Electric to sell the NBC network for a large cash profit. ”

The funds that Sling Staud is talking about are Europe's sovereign funds.

At the same time, he has invested in GE shares and is one of the shareholders of GE.

That's right, General Electric, the national science and technology pillar of the United States.

At least one-third of its shares are held by foreign companies

But it's just a hold, at most you can pay dividends.

If there really is a foreign company trying to buy and annex General Electric.

Then the United States will teach this foreign company how to do it in minutes.

Even if the United States itself wants to buy General Electric, it will be extremely difficult.

It's almost like a Chinese man who wants to buy a stalwart state-owned enterprise.

"Good." Abel smiled and said, "Then I'll let Smith Media now, and then launch an acquisition letter to General Electric." Hopefully, this time GE won't be unresponsive. ”

Sling Stader affirmed, "There will be a reaction!" ”

"That couldn't be better. So."

The smiling Abel turned to Shiling Stad.

"What do you want from me?"

"Don't go on the side of evil. Don't be in the company of Soros and others. "Sling Stader said sincerely:

"They are robbers. But we think that you must not be Mr. Smith, you are the financial Moses, and Moses is the being who guides believers to the light."

"I'm not the financial Moses." Abel suddenly said,

"That's just a title and a nickname that some people on Wall Street and the American media put on my head. I've never admitted it, and my media company has never promoted me like this. ”

Sling Stard was stunned, and then immediately a happy color appeared on his face.

"Ahh Of course, you're certainly not Moses. You are definitely not Moses! You are the king of investment on Wall Street and the god of investment in the United States! ”

Sling Stard gave him a large hat and a cheerful expression.

This is because Moses was a desert saint though.

But many times, he is seen as the national leader of the oilers.

Its status is similar to that of Emperor Xuanyuan of China.

Financial Moses, if it is placed in the Celestial Empire, it means that the people of the Celestial Empire call him the Yellow Emperor of Finance and Xuanyuan of Finance.

As Abel said, he and his media never acknowledged or uttered the word.

And he finances the title of Moses. In the beginning, it was given to him by a group of Wall Street oilmen.

The first time the public saw the title was called by a platform of CBS Television Network, which is owned by Viacom.

From the oilers on Wall Street to the controllers of Viacom, all of them are America's oilman elite.

There are also the follow-up media who obeyed the orders of the authorities and polished the new lights of the lighthouse.

All under the influence of the oilman-controlled media, the title of financial Moses was placed on Abel's head.

Including Forbes.

If it weren't for the 19 generations of Smith's ancestors, all of whom were all Anglo-Saxon.

It is estimated that those American oilman media have already brushed a layer of oil on him.

Like Murdoch, he is only one-eighth of the oil man, and he has never admitted that he is oil.

But at least half of the people in the United States and around the world think he's an oilman.

The oilman is so perverted about his own propaganda and the principle of a drop of blood.

is as strong as Abel, and he can't even get rid of the title of financial Moses on his body.

The main thing is that it's not good to turn the other cheek now.

Shiling Stard is a smart man, through Abel's ambiguous expression and words just now.

He found out about it, and then he was a little happy.

Because Sling Stader thought that Abel was expressing his stance to him, stating that Abel was not an oilman.

And Soros is one of the famous representatives of the oil man.

Shiling Stard thought that Abel was saying that he would not mix with Soros.

The Norwegian was naturally happy.

It's a pity that Abel is not so satisfied.

Abel laid out for more than two months, wasting so much capital cost.

The successful acquisition of the NBC television network is not bad.

But now that the formal acquisition has not yet begun, how can it be satisfied with this small profit.

"So be it. Until Soros comes back to me, I promise to stand in the middle. ”

Abel said to the smiling Sling Stad:

"But if it's Soros's side, it's more beneficial to me. I'm sorry, Mr. Stard, you know, I'm a businessman, a businessman. You're a businessman too, sir, and you know what I mean. ”

Shiling Stad's happy smile vanished, and the Norwegian knew he was happy too soon.

Fortunately, the Norwegians came a few days late and were a little more prepared.

Sling Stadder thought for a moment, and spoke again—

"The Norwegian Petroleum Fund is willing to hand over its $20 billion or so to Smith Capital for management. At the same time, one-third of the fund's remittance account in the United States can be transferred to the Pacific Bank of the United States. ”

That's giving benefits.

Replace it with an ordinary Wall Street firm, an ordinary Wall Street giant.

You can get so much escrow funds at once, and you can also get a third of the remittance account of the Norwegian Petroleum Fund.

Most Wall Street companies will definitely treat this as a piece of fat.

Even giants like Goldman Sachs are no exception.

If it is done well, these two businesses of the Norwegian Petroleum Fund. It can bring in at least a billion dollars in profits every year.

It's a pity that the Wall Street giant in front of Sling Stard is the only Wall Street person who doesn't treat money as money.

He is the only Wall Street tycoon who treats money like dung.

Other Wall Streeters, in addition to asking for money, still want money.

Abel is not a pure Wall Streeter.

More than money, Abel wants influence.

Of course, if you can, you want the same money.

"I want all of these conditions." Able looked at Shiling Stad, and then whispered:

"In addition to this, I would like to take a stake in Norwegian Hydro and Statoil. I believe that this will make me a knight of light against financial robbers. ”

"It can't be! Mr. Smith! Sling Stard said categorically: "This is absolutely impossible." ”

Founded in 1972, Statoil is a large integrated group of oil and gas companies.

If you add the oil and gas divisions of Norway's Hydrodro, these two companies represent almost the whole of Norwegian energy.

It is also the economic pillar of the Kingdom of Norway and the foundation that supports the country.

Together, the two companies will be the world's third-largest exporter of crude oil, the largest producer of crude oil in the North Sea and the second-largest exporter of natural gas in Europe.

It is also the most popular in Norway. Saliva. Desire. Dripping of fat.

In addition to making money, Soros's international travel funds are the assets that he wants to win the most, and these two companies are definitely the first.

None of them have succeeded yet, and they are still preparing for the robbery.

Abel is good, he didn't even end the game.

I want to pick the fattest two fruits.

How could Sling Stader and Norway agree.

Seeing that Sling Stad's reaction was so big, Abel was not angry, he smiled and said:

"Can bargain. I only need a little bit of a stake, only about 2%. ”

No matter how much Abel estimates that Norway is dead, it is impossible to agree.

This is equivalent to a foreigner saying to the people of the Celestial Empire, I want to take a stake in your Sinopec PetroChina.

It's not the kind of stock of a listed company, but a share that can have real power and make a lot of money.

Can the people of the Celestial Empire agree?

There is a high probability that they will not agree, and of course the Norwegians will not agree.

Shiling Stadder took a deep breath, "So be it. GE will continue to support you, Mr. Smith. Funds custody and account depository, we can support you too. ”

"As for the shares, let's not talk about them. But we want you to let us know when Soros is looking for you. And you can continue to be in the middle until we come to the door. ”

Abel also knows that you can't push people too much, and if you force too much, you may not be able to catch a single hair.

Frogs are boiled by heating them little by little with warm water.

It's the same whether Soros or the Norwegians are the same.

So Abel smiled and replied to Sling Stad, "No problem. I agreed. But the matter of shares, I think you can think about it. ”

"Thanks, no need to think about it. I'm going back, Mr. Smith, we're busy right now. ”

"Yes." Abel stood up to see off the guest.

It was before Sylin Stard was about to walk out of the room.

He laughed and shouted again, "Don't you really think about it?" Mr. Stad? ”

Sling Stard responded by slamming the door behind and quickly leaving the French-style villa with his entourage.

Abel couldn't help laughing, and then said to David Jones next to him:

"Go and ask Alan to call Robert. Tell Robert that he can send another acquisition letter to GE. ”

David smiled and nodded to inform.

The next day was August 15.

In the morning, the energetic Abel sat in the car with his legs crossed, looking at the report in the "Daily Telegraph" specially sent from London, and the corners of his mouth could not help but curl slightly, and his expression was happy.

【. Smith Media, an American media giant, sent another letter to GE Group, intending to acquire GE's NBC TV company. 】

【. NBC TV CEO Bob Wright claimed in an interview with reporters that GE will never give up NBC TV easily, and anyone who wants to buy NBC TV will not succeed. 】

[However, a reporter interviewed GE shareholders, but many shareholders believed that GE should sell NBC Universal, because its investment had already been recouped, and the sale of NBC TV at this time could at least bring more than ten times the profit to GE. 】

Behind the newspaper are a number of other issues in the United States and internationally, which are beyond Abel's concern.

Abel put aside the international edition of the Daily Telegraph.

The convoy came to a slight halt as it passed a corner on the Champs-Élysées in Paris.

Abel's car door was opened, and a pair of long black over-the-knee leather boots stepped into the car, and it was Aimo Alamuddin, who looked like Anne.

Today's Aimo Alamuddin wears a silver-white dress with a black, silver-gray vertical striped trench coat.

Meticulous black high ponytail, with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and flaming red lips.

It's the kind of gold-wire glasses that wear glasses the most

"Waited, huh?"

Abel smiled and took the tall and graceful body of the female lawyer into his arms and kissed the bright red lips.

It is a taste different from Anne.

"It's fine. Just for a moment. Aimo Alamuddin whispered a little shyly.

That day in Manchester, she was given several hard shots by Abel.

I was a little limp when I walked.

Originally, she thought that she should be one of Abel's people in the future.

But after that day, Abel never looked for her again.

Two days later, Aymour Almuddin received the bad news that Abel had left London for Paris.

Fortunately, when Aim Alammuddin was disappointed.

She learned from the lawyer's office that Abel had gone to Paris on a business trip.

Then, two days later, she was sent by the law firm to continue to serve as an intermediary contact between Abel and the law firm.

This brings us to the fact that Aamo Alamuddin was sent to Paris today.

Looking at Aimo Alamuddin, who looked and had a temperament very similar to Anne, Abel whispered to the driver in front of him, "Let's go to Vivendi Global Headquarters." ”

The convoy began to move towards the La Défense area, where Abel had lived a few days earlier.

La Défense is the most complete and high-rise CBD in Europe, and it has the most skyscrapers in the European metropolitan area.

Abel's purpose is the headquarters of the Vivendi Global Group, in a skyscraper in La Défense.

The skyscraper has 69 floors, 39 of which are occupied by Vivendi Global alone.

In fact, the name of this skyscraper is also the Vivendi Building, which was originally the property of the Vivendi Group.

It's just that the group itself can't use so many floors, so it rents out the thirty floors below.

Vivendi Global Group has a very high position in France, and is even the reason why it is the number one media giant in France or Europe.

It owns Canal+ TV Group, Universal Music Group, and Vivendi Entertainment.

Even Universal Pictures, one of the Hollywood giants, is a subsidiary of this company.

It can be said that it is the boss of the entertainment industry in France and even Europe.

Many French film companies, entertainment companies, and even European film companies and entertainment companies, like to rent their headquarters here.

They all hope to rely on Vivendi Global Group to get a little bit of the resources of this giant.

Gradually, it has also become a mecca for many French and even European entertainment people.

Except for the British, for special reasons.

In recent years, other people in the European entertainment industry have basically entered Hollywood indirectly through the channels of Vivendi Global Group.

And because it is too large and has too high status, the people in the entertainment industry who can enter and exit here are naturally mainly middle- and upper-class.

Even if it is a star, it is the most famous group of stars in France.

In a sense, around this building, a small "European Hollywood" has been formed.

It's a very small scale, and almost all of them rely on Vivendi Global Group to live.

It looks a bit like the whole of Europe, except for the stuffy bear.

Basically, they live on the United States.

It is precisely because of the smell of "European Hollywood" that there are many French or European paparazzi reporters around the Vivendi building.

This is normal.

For example, paparazzi reporters are flies. The stars are their favorite rotten eggs.

Where rotten eggs appear, flies naturally appear.

This situation, even Vivendi Global Group has no way to stop it.

The French are used to being free and loose.

For the French, many times, even the French capitalists do not have a very good way.

After all, it is an old area of the Revolution Revolution, and it goes to the streets at every turn, and its combat effectiveness in this regard is still in the forefront of the European and American worlds.

Anyway, it is much better than the American and British counterparts of Fira.

It's just that today, the paparazzi, who originally wanted to shoot European stars, discovered another strange thing.

That is Mr. Jean-Marie Messier, the first person in the European entertainment industry, CEO of Vivendi Global Group.

At about ten o'clock in the morning.

He actually appeared outside the square of the Vivendi building with several senior executives of the group.

This made the paparazzi instantly excited after being surprised.

Jean-Marie Messier

20,000 words a day for 50 consecutive days, my hand began to hurt these days, and I went to the hospital in the morning to say that it was mild hand fasciitis. That is, if you tap the keyboard with your fingers too much, your fingers should rest properly. So recently I've been working on voice plus keyboard typing, and it's a lot slower.
