Abel is "singing" with Britney and Avril.

& A sub-channel of the TV group that is broadcasting its programs.

The name of this station is AMC Bloomberg TV.

After the reorganization, AMC Cable TV is owned by AMC TV Group.

> Television Group is part of Smith Media Group.

Today's AMC TV Group is no longer the AMC cable TV station that started with only two channels.

As Abel's television network plan unfolds.

In a very short period of time, the TV group has already swallowed up a number of independent TV stations.

The seven TV stations that originally belonged to Bloomberg have also become sub-TV stations of the AMC Group.

Like Bloomberg TV, which was originally the most watched and the most popular Bloomberg TV, the name has now changed to AMC Bloomberg TV.

The front is the name of AMC Television Group.

This TV station, it broadcasts content programs all over the world 24 hours a day.

Because of the power of Bloomberg News, it is often possible to invite the most famous economists to conduct interviews.

This makes the programs and content of this TV station deeply loved by financial elites from all over the world.

The governments of many countries in Asia, Africa, and Latin America have even taken it as a window to understand Europe and the United States, or to understand the world economic situation.

The main content of this TV station is naturally more professional than that of mass media.

Professional financial, political, economic and academic program content of various countries around the world is the characteristic of the station.

In other words, the worst of the people in the world who look at it can be considered half an elite.

Or have the motivation to work towards the elite.

Otherwise, who would be going to see these things?

Aren't movies, TV series, Hollywood, Grammys, NBA and MLB fragrant?

Variety shows and talk shows, are they not good?

That's why AMC Bloomberg TV was broadcasting domestic business news in the U.S. that night.

The latest news about the battle for Amex soon became known to most of the nation's business elite.

The content of this news is simple, it is mainly told with a photo as the core.

The photo shows the famous financial tycoon Soros, and another financial tycoon, Abel Smith, smiling and shaking hands.

In this photo, the expressions of the two people are very friendly, as if they are familiar at first sight.

In the news, the host said that the photo was taken secretly by a passer-by and then sold to the TV station.

The passer-by claimed that the photo was taken secretly in Manhattan this afternoon and freshly baked.

Passers-by said he was in a pizzeria and took the photo.

The two bigwigs in the photo seemed to be talking about business and cooperation at that time, and they seemed to be going well.

The news host added fuel to the mix.

Although the specific content was not said, it was listened to in the eyes and ears of the audience.

is basically telling everyone that Abel Smith has reached a cooperation with Soros.

Otherwise, how can this photo taken today be explained?

Candid camera? Hehe, candid photography at such a close distance, it's not the two of them, who can do it?

Both of them are the two most important in the United States when it comes to personal safety and security.

With the security forces of these two people, what do you say about candid photography, it's still such a close-up candid photo.

That's hilarious.

& Bloomberg TV says that, and everyone knows why.

The broadcast of this news also suddenly made the battle for Yuntong once again become a topic in the mouths of most ordinary American business elites.

But for the board of directors of Amex in the whirlpool.

This news

The appearance of the broadcast made many of them break out in a cold sweat all of a sudden.

New York

Midtown Manhattan.

In a mansion with an interior area of about 2,000 square feet.

After reading the news, Kenneth Chernot broke out in a cold sweat behind his back.

and other content put by the host of the show.

Kenneth Chernot immediately got up frantically.

He ran to his study and quickly dialed Timms, the general manager of the Soros Fund.

The call was quickly connected.

「Hello？」

"Ah~ Tims is me, I'm Kenneth Chernot."

"Oh, hello. Mr. Chenott."

Hear the phrase "Mr. Chennot" from Timms's mouth.

Kenneth Chernot's heart suddenly "gaden" and sank.

Originally.

That's not what Tims called Kenneth Chernot when he asked him to stand up for his death.

At that time, he was directly called Kenneth Chernot by his name, which was Kenneth.

Americans, like Chinese people, people who are not familiar with each other or are not in place are generally called Mr. So-and-so.

This so-and-so is often a surname.

The relationship is good, or the superior to the inferior. Then the title will directly become the name.

Originally, Timms directly called Kenneth by his name, whether it was a good relationship or regarded him as a subordinate.

This is not a bad thing for the desperate Kenneth no matter how you look at it.

But after that news aired, it was now Mr. Chernot.

This made the CEO of Yuntong Company think a lot for a moment, and the cold sweat was even more direct.

"That. . . Tims."

Kenneth already had a bad psychological premonition, but now he could only ask:

"I want to ask, is that Bloomberg news true?"

It didn't take long for Bloomberg TV to change its name. And it's just an AMC prefix.

People still like to call it Bloomberg TV, or Bloomberg Business.

"What's the news?"

"Uh" Kenneth heard the other party's perfunctory, and he had to force himself to say:

"It's Mr. Soros, shaking hands with Abel Smith. This violates Mr. Soros's image rights, I think you."

"No violation."

Tims interrupted Kenneth directly.

"I would say, there was no violation. Mr. Soros gave permission to Bloomberg Television to use the photo. Mr. Chernot, I said so much, do you see what I mean?"

Kenneth Chernot wasn't stupid, and certainly understood what Tims meant by that.

But even if he understood, Kenneth still had to continue:

"Tims, I know, I know. What do you mean?"

"That's not what I meant." Tims rudely interrupted Kenneth again:

"That's what Mr. Soros meant. Sorry, Mr. Chenott. I'm still a little busy, so I'll get back in touch when I'm free."

Without waiting for Kenneth Chernot to speak.

Timms, for his part, had already hung up on him.

"Falk you!"

"Fack! Fack!"

Listening to the busy tone coming from the phone, Kenneth Chernot roared angrily.

This Tims obviously received a number of tourist VIP tickets from the Express company he sent out, worth more than 100,000 US dollars.

As a result, when it happened, it was so ruthless.

Not even the slightest favor for Kenneth to explain the matter.

Kenneth was certainly angry.

But after the angry roar, Kenneth knew he couldn't do anything about Timms.

Kenneth sent out the VI of those American Express Premium Travel Services

In the case of P tickets, they are given out under the name of "lottery".

In other words, on the surface, Tims won these highest-level VIP tickets through his own American Express credit card "lottery".

Kenneth couldn't take it back even if he wanted to, that would conflict with many Amex customers.

Kenneth knew that Tims wasn't going down this path.

He has no contact information about Soros.

At this point, Kenneth could only shift the direction of his efforts to the other shareholders of Amex.

He made a few more phone calls to shareholders who supported him with more shareholdings.

Like Mr. Jim Walton of the Walton family.

After making a round of phone calls to these people, Kenneth was a little relieved.

At least on the phone, although these people have loosened their words a lot, their positions have not changed for the time being.

Kenneth knew he was in danger this time, but he had to try.

With that in mind, he began to call the rest of the Amex board of directors.

It's all at such a time, how can you still sleep?

Kenneth couldn't sleep at all, and he didn't give the grasshoppers on the other threads a chance to sleep.

Of course, everyone came out for a meeting to figure out how to tide over the difficulties together.

The most important thing is Soros, the main white knight.

His "sudden betrayal" made Kenneth Chernot look embarrassed at once.

The board members were all in New York, and Kenneth Chernot quickly gathered them.

They went straight to Amex headquarters in New York overnight for a meeting.

The meeting lasted late at night and lasted until the early hours of the next morning, when it was dawn.

The result is still a little unsatisfactory, the methods that everyone came up with, or the various schemes that everyone prepared.

All of them have flaws in all aspects, and they don't seem to be operable.

This is also normal.

After all, these people are ostensibly directors of the board of directors of Yuntong Company.

But except for the two minority shareholders, the other seven people are all pure workers or representatives.

With the support of the majority shareholders behind it, this board can run very well.

The shareholders behind it did not support it, or when infighting began.

Then they are the first victims.

And now, it's the turn of the victims.

This very bad mood also came to a head later when a company executive reported a piece of "bad news" to the directors.

It was six o'clock in the morning.

Most of the newspapers in the United States have not yet come out, or have just been delivered to newsstands and bookstores.

The "bad news" reported by this executive of the Amex company.

It's from a friend of his, who is in a high position in the editorial department of "***".

"Jack is a key editor of ***. He just told me that there is very bad news about Amex in "***" today!"

"What's the news?"

Kenneth Chernot, who hadn't slept all night, already had a bad premonition.

"It's news about Soros and Abel Smith. It seems to say that Soros officially took a stake in Smith Capital and offered Abel Smith to give him 6.9% of the shares of Amex."

Smack-

Kenneth slapped himself on the forehead, knowing he was doomed.

In fact, it is.

When the sky was completely bright and most of the American newspapers were on the market.

Soros became the sixth public shareholder of Smith Capital as a shareholder of Smith Capital.

and to Abel Smith, the matter of selling the shares of the Amex Company.

Along with these American newspapers, they were sent all over the United States.

This makes the desire for Abel Smith to take over and grab the chips

Many leeks and investors of Yuntong company's stocks were in an uproar.

If it weren't for the fact that today happens to be Saturday, the stock market is closed.

It is estimated that before noon, the stock price of Amex will fall to $40 or even lower.

But even if the market is closed on weekends, the stock market cannot be traded.

But most of the leeks and investors also know that this news has been brewing and fermenting for two days.

By the time the market opens on Monday, the stock drop it caused may be even higher than it is at this time.

More importantly, it's Saturday.

Tomorrow is a week's week, and Abel Smith's side cannot remain indifferent.

He will definitely release unfavorable news for the stock price of Yuntong Company, and further suppress the current high stock price of Yuntong Company.

After the market opens on Monday, the stock of Yuntong will definitely fall sharply as soon as it opens.

Fortunately, Abel's general tender offer is still there.

It lasts for a month, starting on November 6 and ending normally on the 5th of the following month.

That is, at least for this time. You still have Abel Smith at the bottom of the $35 base, which is a blessing in misfortune.

And when the leeks are desperate, they are glad that there is still Abertode.

Abel has left his summit mansion in the Smith Building and appeared at JFK.

Then he boarded his Boeing 747 "Smith" and flew through the sky to Austin International Airport.

The Boeing 747 is spacious and resembles the interior cabin of a villa in the sky.

Able sat in the middle, in the throne of the emperor, with a document spread out on his lap and reading.

David Jones and Alan Baker were standing quietly next to him, waiting for his inquiry.

After browsing for about ten minutes, Abel closed the patent technical specification document on lithium iron phosphate batteries.

He spoke to Alan Baker, "Professor Hans has done a great job. I didn't expect the research team he brought back from Huaxia to really have the ability to develop a simple finished product so quickly."

Alan replied with a smile:

"Who's to say it's not? The boss of the Huaxia company that Professor Hans came into contact with is an expert in battery technology, a professor who graduated from a well-known university in Huaxia and came out to start a company. Maybe that's why it's so efficient."

Abel nodded slightly.

Shortly after the beginning of the year.

Professor Hans, the chief technology officer of Tesla, left the United States and took some students to Neon to investigate technology.

In the current era, in terms of lithium battery technology, the United States is theoretically advanced.

But in actual production and application, it is better on the neon side.

And the theoretical research on the neon side is not bad at all.

Professor Hans went there to buy some patented technology.

Or pack some neon local research teams and bring them back to the United States.

But in the process of neon investigation, Professor Hans found some battery products from Huaxia.

The technology of these battery products is not very good, and it can even be said that it is a little backward and not so advanced.

But Professor Hans inquired and learned that the cost of these batteries was so low that he couldn't believe it.

The same battery product costs about a hundred dollars in the United States.

These lithium battery products are in neon, and it costs about fifty dollars to produce them.

And then these lithium battery products in China, their production cost is less than 20 US dollars.

When there is not much difference in quality and technology, this cost advantage is too huge.

Professor Hans was curious.

So after reporting to the headquarters, I went to Huaxia for inspection

。

After a month of investigation, he reached a cooperation intention with a company in Huaxia.

The follow-up was the elite research team of the Huaxia company, which was packaged and brought back to the United States by Tesla.

Tesla also took a stake in the Huaxia company, holding one-third of the company's shares, and the two sides shared this battery technology.

With the cooperation of both parties, the lithium iron phosphate battery proposed by Abel has made a breakthrough.

At present, it has been possible to achieve an energy density of about the laboratory lithium iron phosphate battery.

This energy density is more than twice as high as that of lead-acid batteries.

It's still much worse than the ternary lithium that Neon is mainly pushing on the side.

But according to Professor Hans, from an economic point of view, Tesla should still study lithium iron phosphate, which is larger and less energy dense.

Professor Hans thinks so for two reasons.

One is that compared with ternary lithium, lithium iron phosphate is safer.

This is actually the reason why professors mainly consider it.

Because this professor is also a scholar no matter how he says, he has some humanistic care.

In this case, if you really want to engage in electric vehicles, Professor Hans thinks more about safety in front of performance

The other is the reason that Professor Hans used to convince Abel.

That is, compared to ternary lithium batteries that need to use certain precious metals.

There is no need to use the precious metal lithium iron phosphate in the material, which has a very high advantage in large-scale production cost.

It is that the cost is relatively cheap, and this is often the most preferred direction for capitalists.

I have to say that the professor is worthy of being an American and understands capitalists.

And the Huaxia battery company that Professor Hans went to inspect now has a certain reputation in Huaxia.

But it's not so famous, and it's a bit bad, because it's a bit weird in name.

"BYD" Abel gently read the name of this Huaxia company, shook his head lightly and smiled, "Then continue to research." That's a good direction."

Abel remembers BYD, who later became the boss of Huaxia New Energy and began to set off to the world market in parallel time and space.

The battery technology road it chooses, and finally the lithium iron phosphate battery technology.

When Abel first started at Tesla, he asked them to study lithium iron phosphate.

It's because he remembers it.

At that time, Abel only knew lithium iron phosphate, which was relatively safe.

But I didn't expect that it would have an advantage in cost.

That made Abel feel even more that there must be nothing wrong with choosing it.

Didn't you look at the Tesla in parallel time and space, and later chose lithium iron phosphate batteries?

At first, Abel thought Tesla was for safety.

After all, it seems to have a lot of news about accidents.

But now it seems that Tesla took the initiative to replace lithium iron phosphate batteries, and it is estimated that it is still a cost problem.

A capitalist is a capitalist, and burning a person to death is nothing.

If the cost can be reduced by tens of dollars on average, then there will be a lot of obstacles.

Abel closed the technical description of the patent and threw it to David.

He looked up and asked, "How long has it been?" How long will it take to get to Austin?"

It takes less than four hours to fly from New York to Austin.

The Smith departed at 9 a.m. this morning, less than 11 a.m.

It's still half way from Austin.

Abel was bored, and he said to David, "Then let Mary come."

David smiled and nodded, and left with Alan Baker.

Soon the head of the private flight attendant team of the Boeing 747 "Smith", the charming Ms. Maria, walked in.

Maria was the senior flight attendant selected by the United American Airlines department when Abel did not have a private jet and took a private flight provided by Amex.

looks charming and sexy, and the figure is very perfect and material.

Later, Katherine Jones, who is now the Hannah Catherine next to little Laura.

After she resigned from United States Airlines, she was on the plane twice as the flight attendant who served Abel.

In the middle, she went back to get married, and after getting married, she went back to work for United Airlines.

Abel thinks her harmonica skills are good, and her service attitude is also very good.

After Abel bought a private jet himself, he asked Maria to come over here as a flight attendant.

When Abel traveled without a woman by his side.

Occasionally, he would ask Maria, who was already married, to come and play the harmonica for him

Use art to cultivate sentiment and kill the time of air passage.

Shortly after, the Smith arrived at Austin International Airport.

As soon as he exited the airport, Abel saw his father-in-law, the father of little Laura.

Neil Bush stood outside the car waiting for him, and Able walked over with a smile.

They then went to Herbert's place again.

This time Abel's grandparents were not here, they had already returned to Houston.

Abel stayed here that night and left the next day.

When he left, he took little Laura's father with him.

In fact, this is also the reason why Abel's plane chose to stop in Austin.

That is to take Neil Bush, who has been on the West Coast for a while to familiarize himself with the situation, and then returned to Austin to rest.

「.. …… It's a big plane. Using a Boeing 747 as a private jet, the space is really spacious."

As soon as I got on the plane, the plane hadn't taken off yet.

Neil Bush looked at the interior of the super-rich son-in-law's private jet and said with a smile.

It's not like Neil Bush hasn't flown on a private jet, even Air Force One.

But none of that has anything to do with him, and this Boeing 747 belongs to his son-in-law, so it has something to do with it.

Neil Bush talks a little more.

Abel smiled and said, "I'll study the plane later." Let's sit down and wait for the plane to take off."

Neil smiled and nodded.

The two of them sat down in a premium airline business seat, fastened their seat belts and waited for the plane to take off.

It's fair to say that both private jets and mass flights are just as weightless and uncomfortable as they are when the plane takes off.

Fair gravity doesn't make much of a difference just because it's a private jet and a mass flight.

The two in the middle were not silent, Abel and Neil Bush were talking.

"Neil, what do you think of the West Coast? How does San Francisco make you feel compared to Texas or New York?"

"It's fine. The climate is more comfortable, even more comfortable than Texas. Otherwise, I honestly don't really like the situation over there."

"Oh? That's not going to work. Neil, you know. A lot of times we have to endure certain things, even if we don't like them."

"Of course I do." Neil Bush was a little upset.

This kid hasn't become his son-in-law yet, so he educates himself like this.

What is the status of the father-in-law!

But Neil also knew that Abel was also doing this for his own good.

And in terms of the status of the two at this time, if the private identity of the son-in-law and father-in-law is removed.

In front of Abel, he is indeed several grades behind.

Abel is still his big benefactor, and he is also his backer for his development on the West Coast.

As far as matters are concerned, Neil Bush will not discuss personal feelings and private affairs when discussing business with Abel.

"I'm trying to adapt. Rest assured, trust me. Give me a little more time, and I'll be a "traditional" West Coaster."

Abel laughed.

"If only that's the case. At that point, we can start planning on the West Coast

。」

"Hahaha~" Neil Bush laughed happily.

The Boeing 747 also finally took off.

It begins to climb to normal altitudes until it reaches the stratosphere above 8,000 meters, when it starts its normal cruising mode.

Looking out the window at the swift clouds drifting by, Neil Bush's heart surged.

He thought that he could finally start on this path after his two brothers and father.

There are more people paving the way for him, and the path he has to take seems easier to walk.

At the thought of this, Neil Bush couldn't help but feel better.

This made Neil's gaze at Abel, the son-in-law with a big carrot, even more gentle.

This proves that Neil has a strong tradition of the shrub family.

Shrewd and forbearing.

Many times, for the sake of profit, you can do most of the things you hate.

Just like his second brother Jeb, in order to get the support of the growing number of Mexican immigrants in Texas.

A long time ago, he married a Mexican woman as his wife in advance.

This very unconventional, very non-blue-blooded practice, Jeb, the shrub that most resembles Herbert, did it.

It also has strong support from the family.

At that time, this was laughed at by many gate valves in other regions.

Marrying Momo at that time was not much different from marrying a black man as a wife for those of them.

But Herbert just let Jeb marry, and later gave birth to a mixed-race grandson, or the eldest grandson.

Suffice it to say that in this regard, the shrub family is really good at being flexible.

The premise is that the interest is enough for the shrub to be willing to make this adaptation!

It's like Jeb marrying a Mexican wife, like Neil going against tradition to develop on the West Coast.

It's like Herbert's insistence on marrying little Laura to a big carrot.

Go to Neon to investigate, and the investigation is halfway there
