Chapter 334: Playing is all about heartbeat and excitement
The sea breeze blew towards the villa, and the waves were hit on the reef not far away, splashing white water.
It pours to the shore and gently caresses the soft sand.
The waves, on the other hand, swing lightly from afar, outlining a white "skirt" to the beach.
The wind has the rhythm of the wind, and the waves have the rhythm of the waves.
Paris. She has her rhythm.
Santa Barbara, California.
Villa 73 Maria Bay Avenue.
The rhythmic sound of a room finally died down.
Instead, there was the sound of rustling clothes.
After a while, Paris's slightly hoarse voice rang out—
"You're in there again! Aren't you afraid that I'm pregnant?! ”
"I don't take medicine!"
The man's deep voice then sounded, "If you don't take medicine, you'll be raw." ”
"Bastard! I'm only twenty years old! ”
"Ikana, too, is twenty years old. She is almost two months pregnant, and she is twins. Well, how about you having a baby in the same year? ”
"Falk you!"
A few more seconds passed.
Paris's slightly flushed, seductive and amorous face poked out of the door.
At the door, she saw a female bodyguard not far away.
Paris sneaky, cautiously stepped out of the inside, and walked briskly outside.
From a distance, she looked limp as she walked.
Those who don't know think she was overexercising just now.
After a short while, Abel, who was dressed casually, came out of it.
He nodded at the female bodyguard, who was actually his female bodyguard captain, Donny.
Just now he was stealing incense inside, and Doni was in charge of keeping watch outside.
Today is the 1st of November.
It had been eleven days since he came to the West Coast from Texas.
During this time, Abel lived mainly in Ikana.
During the day he spends most of the day going out to work and coming back at night, or sometimes he doesn't come back.
Occasionally, he would stay here during the day to spend time with Ikana, who was pregnant.
Like today, he didn't go out, and not long after he got up in the morning, he grabbed Paris and entered the room.
It's almost eleven o'clock now.
For two or three hours, Paris was naturally exhausted.
Having said that, Abel was no longer afraid that Ikana would know that he had eaten her best friend.
In line with the idea that the boat will naturally go straight to the bridge, even Ikana knows.
Abel felt that she would be unhappy for a few days at best.
The Smith family office had not been established for a long time, and when she signed it, Paris said she didn't hesitate at all.
But Paris insisted that Ikana not find out, "At least don't let her know about it now." She's got your baby in her belly! ”
That's what she says and what she does.
At her insistence, the relationship between the two in front of Ikana has not been exposed for the time being.
But in this way, Abel felt brutal
Under the nose of a pregnant girlfriend, secretly with her best friend
In all corners of her house, even in her room, in her bedroom, and Ikana's best friend
To be honest, Abel found it very exciting.
There is a different kind of role-playing, or system. Temptation. Confused feelings.
Abel thinks Paris probably did it on purpose. Deliberately insisting on not letting this relationship know to Ikana
If Ikana had known, that relationship would have been missing.
There is less of the feeling of XX in front of the very interesting "girlfriends".
Abel had to admit that this Paris just knew how to play.
Even if it is a pure version of her, only Liv Taylor can compare the tricks she plays in this regard.
Wait for Paris to go first.
Abel deliberately lagged behind Paris for a long time, waiting long after she had left, before walking to the stairs on the second floor leading to the living room on the first floor.
Large living room on the ground floor.
Paris was talking to Ikana, who had just woken up, next to the TV set on.
"I think the 23rd store can be opened. Just choose Chicago, even if it's there. Hey, dear, didn't you go out today? ”
As Ikana spoke, she looked up and saw Able walking down the second floor.
"Yes. Didn't go out this morning. ”
Abel smiled and raised the mobile phone in his hand, "I just called." You're up, darling. ”
"Hmm." Ikana laughed happily and walked towards Abel with a bouncy figure "duangduang".
With every step, the good figure hidden in the loose robe is fighting against the strong gravity.
Her youthful and energetic body allowed Ikana to win easily in this confrontation.
Ikana, who walked over, hugged Abel.
She seemed to melt into her boyfriend's arms intimately, but her little nose was trying to sniff something at an angle that Able couldn't see.
The smell of shower gel, just bathed
Paris too, she smelled freshly bathed
Ted Lerner's daughter, thinking quietly.
Abel hugged her, and the two of them went to the sofa in the living room and sat down.
Not far away, there was Paris lazily eating a banana.
It's really eating bananas, fruits, the kind that comes out of the banana tree.
"I'm talking to Paris about opening a new store at YKM."
Ikana turned her back to Paris and didn't see herself talking to her boyfriend.
Paris, her best friend who was eating bananas, began to wink teasingly at her boyfriend.
He also stretched out, ate the peeled banana, and looked very charming.
Abel was sure that Paris did it on purpose.
This chick, like Liv Taylor, loves to play tricks on herself!
It's all about heartbeat and excitement!
"I just heard that. Is the new store going to be in Chicago? That's still okay, I think you've driven in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Miami. Now it's logical to move to Chicago. ”
Ikana's beautiful big eyes were looking at her, and Abel was not good at making special expressions and strange actions.
When he was like this, Paris on the other side felt even more unscrupulous, and the expression on his face was provoking him.
I have to say it's very exciting, especially now that Ikana hasn't found out about the relationship between the two.
Let Abel tickle.
Paris thinks so, too.
Ikana turned, the split second she turned.
The flattering expression on Paris's face became normal for a moment.
With this acting, Abel felt that she could go to Hollywood to try it once.
"Right?" Ikana turned around and said hello to her best friend.
"Yes." Miss Paris Hilton looked serious and said softly:
"Although there are more and more black people in Chicago right now. But among the blacks, there will also be some customers with purchasing power. Black women should wear beautiful clothes, too! Chicago's status is there, and we certainly can't let go of this place. ”
"Look. I agree with her. ”
Ikana turned to look at her boyfriend again.
The consequence is that Paris behind her, on her beautiful and delicate little face, her expression is not serious, and there are more small movements.
If it weren't for Ikana's presence, Abel would feel like she would be here now, and she would have given this chick to the Fa on the spot!
"Alright. I'm a little hungry, let's go have lunch. After lunch, I'm going to go out in the afternoon. ”
Abel felt that he could not stay here any longer.
He had to admit that the identity of Ikana's best friend.
It really added a lot of allure to Paris.
When Ikana was right in front of her, the temptation was even stronger.
"Oh, okay." Ikana said, "Then I'll have lunch prepared." ”
"Hmm."
This lunch was warm and a little ambiguous.
The warmth comes from Ikana, who has become more and more obsessed since she became pregnant.
The little ambiguity comes from Paris, who keeps making small movements.
After lunch, Abel left 73 Santa Barbara Maria Beach Boulevard.
He got on a helicopter and set off for the city of San Diego.
The driving distance between these two Bay Area cities is about 350 kilometers.
It's three or four hours by car.
By helicopter, it only takes about an hour from takeoff to landing.
There is no doubt that this kind of short trip, in terms of speed, helicopters are really much faster.
As for the question of saying that helicopter travel is riskier, Abel also has his own considerations.
According to last year's data, there were about five accidents in every 100,000 helicopter flight hours in the United States.
This figure is five times higher than that of ordinary civil aviation.
In other words, flying in a helicopter is five times riskier than flying.
But the data shows that these helicopters flew in accidents.
95% of the time it happens when the weather is bad, such as rain, snow, and fog.
Just avoid using helicopters in bad weather.
It would reduce the risk of helicopter travel, which is five times more dangerous than civil aviation, to about the same level as land traffic.
In that way, Abel felt that it was a way to go.
Around two o'clock in the afternoon.
Abel appeared on the outskirts of San Diego, outside the headquarters of Qualcomm in the United States.
This is Abel's second visit.
The last time he was here, he was just a passerby.
It was a passer-by who was invited to visit by a relatively high status and special wealth.
This time, he's become the company's-
"Good afternoon, Chairman."
"Good afternoon, Chairman!"
"Good afternoon, Chairman."
“.”
In the Qualcomm headquarters building.
Abel, who came in through the door, smiled and nodded to all the employees who greeted him.
He became chairman of Qualcomm at the end of this month.
After 911, the U.S. stock market fell sharply.
Abel, who came out to save the city, in addition to gaining unparalleled financial influence and fame in the United States.
He also has the status of a shareholder of more than 200 U.S. listed companies.
One of them is Qualcomm.
And since then, he has increased his stake in Qualcomm from about 10% to 55% at the end of October.
He officially became the largest shareholder of the communication company, and then it was logical that he became the chairman of the company.
The Tonasdaq stock market crash, and the blessing of the 911 disaster.
In another five years, Qualcomm will have a market capitalization of more than $40 billion.
Now the 55% stake costs him less than $2 billion in cash.
For his ownership, Qualcomm has been in a difficult period for several years in a row.
Whether it's founder Owen Jacob, the employees, or the shareholders.
Most of them showed great popularity.
The richest man in the world entered, so is the company afraid of lack of funds in the future?
At this time, Owen Jacob and the shareholders did not know that a new era was coming.
In this new era, Qualcomm will continue to be one of the most important navigators.
At this time, they all thought that Qualcomm was a dung pit.
Since it is a dung pit, the richest man in the world is still willing to jump in and share the weal and woe with everyone, and they are naturally happy.
I just don't know if they will be happy when they think about their current decision in a few years.
Qualcomm Corporation Building.
Able was again in front of the patent wall facing the door in the hall, and he was still shocked by it.
This prestigious patent wall carries the glory of Qualcomm's focus on R&D and innovation, and this is only a small part of Qualcomm's patents.
This patent wall is a carrier for GM to demonstrate its recognition of employee innovation and its emphasis on technology research and development.
After all, technology is hard to see and touch.
The recognition of patent rights is undoubtedly the best praise for Qualcomm, which has more than 80% of its employees, who are technical engineers.
Abel carefully looked at the name of the patent, the implementation path of the technical solution, the time of applying for and obtaining the patent right, and the name of the personnel involved in the research and development.
For Qualcomm, it's their heart's work.
For Abel, it's all about money.
As long as you have these, even if you don't do anything and lie flat every day, you can get more than a billion dollars in a year.
Everybody hates patent trolls, but everybody wants to be a patent troll.
This is true of the capitalists, and so are the patent trolls.
"Good afternoon, Mr. Smith."
An old man's voice sounded beside Abel.
Abel looked away from Qualcomm's patent wall.
The founder of Qualcomm, Qualcomm's former chairman and CEO, and now CEO Owen Jacob, stood by his side.
"Good afternoon, Owen." Abel smiled and pointed to the patent wall, and said:
"When I saw this wall, I felt the greatness of technology, and the greatness of Qualcomm."
Owen Jacob was a little reserved, bent down and nodded to him: "Thank you for the recognition, Mr. Smith~"
This patent wall is also the pride of Owen Jacob, the father of CDMA.
Their roots are all built on CDMA as a communication technology.
It was the R&D personnel led by Owen Jacob who developed the CDMA technology and spread it to the world.
"Let's go. How about we go up to your office and talk? ”
Abel said to Owen Jacob.
"No problem, Mr. Smith, please come here." Owen Jacob had a good opinion of Abel at this time.
This would not have been the case if Abel had acquired Qualcomm a few years later.
Because by that time Qualcomm had come out of the manure pit, and it had become a gold pit that produced gold.
Everyone wants to stay away from the manure pit, and everyone wants to own the gold mine, even to have it for themselves.
If you go to the manure pit, no one will rob you, and they will think you are stupid.
If you want to rob someone else's gold mine, then everyone will choose to fight with you.
Accompanied by Owen Jacob, the group arrived in the elevator hall.
"Good afternoon, Chairman. CEO。 ”
"Good afternoon, Chairman and Mr. Jacob."
“.”
Qualcomm employees who were waiting for the elevator hurriedly greeted Abel Smith and Owen Jacob, who were surrounded by bodyguards.
Abel smiled and nodded.
After the special elevator door opened, Able walked into the elevator with Owen Jacob and the bodyguards.
It wasn't until the elevator door closed that the Qualcomm employees who were waiting for the elevator began to chatter.
For what has happened to their company in the past two months, every Qualcomm person is very clear.
For Abel Smith, the young richest man in the world, there are even different opinions.
Abel Smith's rise is a legend in the United States and even around the world.
In the minds of young people, Abel Smith has replaced Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, and become their new idol of the American dream!
Previously, during the staring time when Abel stood in front of the patent wall, many Qualcomm employees saw that scene in the crowded hall.
Many people feel that they can shock the legend of Abel Smith, and they are proud of it.
It is precisely for this reason that Qualcomm's ordinary employees and middle-level employees generally have a great impression of Abel's stay.
This is mainly due to the fact that in recent years, Qualcomm's life has been too hard.
The losses are so serious every year, and there is still so much investment in scientific research.
Many employees are worried, afraid that it will accidentally go bankrupt on the street.
In that case, the prospects of these communication professionals will be very bad.
Because even industry giants and leaders like Qualcomm can go bankrupt, doesn't that mean that the mobile communications industry has no future? Other, smaller companies will only be more troublesome and dangerous.
In this era when there are no competitors, no one in the industry wants Qualcomm to hit the streets.
What's more, the employees in the company, they don't want to lose their jobs, and naturally hope that the company can develop for a long time.
This concern has always been there.
It has finally disappeared completely, only because Abel Smith has become the chairman of this company!
Americans know that for every time Abel Smith buys a company, he usually does only two things at once.
One is to increase wages, which is generally 5%-10% of the wages of all employees.
This makes all the ordinary employees or middle-level employees of all companies in the United States want the world's richest man to buy the company they work for.
The second thing is to inject capital.
When others buy a company, they are eager to get back the acquisition cost immediately on the company that has been successfully acquired.
For the acquired company, it is squeezed if it can be squeezed, which makes the acquired company very nervous.
There are even more excesses, and even borrowing to buy companies. After the company was successfully acquired, the acquired company was also asked to repay its debts.
And every time Abel Smith acquires a new company, he almost always re-injects a large amount of capital after the acquisition.
This makes every company Abel acquires, and after he becomes the owner, it will immediately become a strong competitor in the industry.
After all, in the business world, more money is injected into the company, which means that the company will have more power.
In this real world, many times money means power.
About two hours later.
The 2,000 employees at Qualcomm's headquarters got the good news they wanted to hear.
That's a wage increase! 5% increase in administrative staff and 10% increase in scientific staff!
In addition, Chairman Abel Smith will inject $500 million.
If other shareholders do not match the capital injection, Abel Smith's stake in Qualcomm will exceed 55%.
Obviously, other shareholders will most likely not follow him to inject capital.
Since it's a dung pit, it's too late to get out. How is it possible to throw money into it?
This made Abel's shares, after the completion of the capital injection, from the original 55%, to 70%.
If he chooses to delist at this time, there will be no one to stop him except the U.S. Department of Commerce.
