Many of the songs on Avril's album were released at the end of last year and landed directly in the top 10 of the Billboard chart.

Album sales, 731K in the first week, broke the annual record of 712K for Britney Spears at the beginning of the year.

The first month sales were 2150K, that is, 2.15 million copies, directly becoming the first place in the first month of sales in the past three years.

The name Avril Lavigne also has the word "pure punk".

It also appeared on Google, and it was in the top 10 of the hot word list not long after it was launched, and it has not come down yet.

To sum it up, Avril is on fire.

David Geffen is indeed a veteran of music production.

Teaching students according to their aptitude and adapting measures to local conditions, the character design with a huge sense of contrast, coupled with Avril's own talent.

As soon as she debuted, she was at least several times more popular than her in parallel time and space.

Avril, who experienced this feeling of explosion, was willing to work hard to maintain her image of a pure white lotus in front of the public.

As for the back...... Of course, what it was, and what it is now.

When you grow up, it's hard to change it.

Abel hugged Avril, and he liked her now, and the kind of person she was in front of her was inconsistent:

"Anyway, my dear. You have to understand that in front of the public, your innocence is more important than anything else, and you have to pay attention to this at all times."

"Hmph, am I innocent? You ......."

Avril had red lips, snorted softly, wrapped her arms around Abel's neck, and said angrily.

is this bad guy, after the media certified himself as a "music girl".

When he was messing with himself, he was more motivated.

More active and harder than when he started.

Avril, who understands Abel's bad intentions, certainly knows the reason.

"Haha, you can play around like this with the 25 purest beauties in the United States selected by "Hollywood Report" magazine, ranked 19th. Tsk, shouldn't I be proud?"

Abel teased playfully.

"So, is it fun?"

Avril was slightly red, biting, and said softly with silky eyes.

「Delious！ It's delicious!"

"Giggles, do you want to continue now...... Play?"

Avril whispered in Abel's ear.

"Tsk, you little glutton...... You thought about it yourself!"

What else can Abel say about such an invitation from Avril Lavigne, who eats marrow and knows the taste?

Naturally, it can only meet her simple request!

Princess Abel picked up Avril Avril, who had been looking at him with her beautiful eyes flashing, smiled slightly, and walked towards the bedroom.

Only Abel knows, although he is taking the contradictory beauty route of pure + rock.

In the past and in the future, we have been working hard to create a presented character, and it will always be this route.

Over the years, she has become one of the most beautiful and innocent actresses selected by various media magazines.

But in essence, she is not a good girl.

Avril has a very strong musical talent.

Uninhibited and wild in some things, petite in size, not American either.

But in essence, she is a standard American girl.

This kind of person is different from one person to another, which can make Abel experience completely different feelings. ….

Well, it's the same as at the Hilton Hotel in Brooklyn, New York.

At the last minute.

Abel asked her, are you ready? Are you sure?

Under the gaze of Sophie Marceau and Penelope.

Avril said, get ready! Of course I'm sure!

As Abel could have seen, she couldn't have been better prepared, and she couldn't have been more certain.

Just like now.

I don't know how long it took to be in the dark bedroom, the moon

The light shines through the veil and onto the floor.

Abel put his arm around Avril, who was already tired and asleep.

One arm rests behind his head, and his bright eyes open in the night.

Same as she was yesterday, same as Britney's today.

After a few hours, the innocent punk Avril couldn't bear it.

Abel looked at the clock hanging on the wall, it was past eleven o'clock.

Cut, only four hours......

It's inferior.

All of them are -

The cabinet next to Simmons, the mobile phone placed on it, shook.

Abel looked at the clock again—

January 8, 2002, 23:15 p.m. West Coast Time.

Seeing this time, he smiled slightly, then stretched out his long arm and took the phone.

"Hey?"

「BOSS。 There was a little accident at Pacific Electric in California."

"What kind of accident?"

"It was at an electrical substation in Southern California, and it exploded. The explosion caused a fire, which spread to the neighborhood. There were many houses of residents that were burned down. In addition, there are 7 employees in the substation. Three people were killed on the spot, and four people have been taken to the hospital for emergency treatment, temporarily out of danger of life."

"What a horrible and sad accident...... What did the CEO of Schupus say?"

Abel is chairman of Pacific Electric in California, where he holds a 50.9 percent stake.

But for a long time, because of other shareholders and local reasons in California, Abel has not interfered too much in California Pacific Electric.

Because Abel already has a Pacific Energy.

If only he had completely gotten his hands on Pacific Electric in California.

California's energy supply, in terms of electricity and gas, will be controlled by two-thirds.

In the area of gasoline and diesel, 1/4 will also be affected or controlled by him.

This is a difficult thing for many local giants in California to accept.

Under the influence of these native head snakes.

Abel even holds as much as 50.9% of the shares.

But Pacific Electric in California, he still can't completely control it.

From beginning to end, he went on patrol a few times.

It can be said that Pacific Electric in California has not had many traces of him until now.

It is because of these local snakes that they continue to persuade, dissuade, and lobby the local *** in California.

If only Abel had nothing to do and just relied on money to drop these.

Maybe even his 50.9% stake in Pacific Electric in California will have to be sold.

It is precisely for this reason that Pacific Energy has not been able to integrate Pacific Electric in California.

California, the media that are controlled by the local snakes.

It has been propaganda to the local population that once the two Pacific Pacifics merge.

Then there will be an energy "trust" in California's local energy supply. ….

Against the opposition of these land snakes.

Abel was also unable to continue to acquire a stake in Pacific Electric in California.

Because the authorities in California, and even in several states on this side of the West Coast, are clearly opposed.

This will keep his stake in the company at around 50.9%.

You must know that at the beginning, he was 51%.

Later, I had no choice but to sell 0.1% to California***.

This is also the attitude of the local authorities.

And he himself only held the position of chairman.

But the top management of this company does not have much power to appoint and dismiss.

It's not that the shareholders are powerful, it's when he wants to do certain actions. The California authorities, instigated by the local snakes, will react violently.

There are 50 states in the United States, and there are kings in the states.

This sentence

The words are not false, the United States is such a country that is bulk to the extreme.

There are a few families in every state, and they belong to the invisible warlords.

That is, the federation is very strong, and together it is more beneficial for the capitalists to plunder the whole world.

It didn't split because of this, so it can always maintain this bulk state.

It is united by interests, but when one day it divides interests greater than those put together.

No one can stop it from splitting.

The real manager of Pacific Electric in California is a CEO named Shyps.

If something happens to Pacific Electric in California now, it will naturally be handled by the CEO of Schupus and the company's senior management.

It was Alan who called Abel, who went on to answer on the phone:

"Asia Pacific Electric's CEO, Supps, has held a press conference overnight to apologize to the media. And they have arrived at the scene of the accident, as well as the investigation team, FBl, and the local police."

"That's good. Leave it to them."

Abel said, "Although I am the largest shareholder and chairman. But until now, I haven't had any real power in Pacific Electric, California. It's none of my business, you know?"

"Understood...... BOSS, I know how to do it."

"That's good."

It's obviously not going to be that simple.

The next morning.

When Abel accompanied Avril and Britney, two best friends, to have breakfast together.

The CEO of Pacific Electric in California, Supps, came to the door with a call.

"Mr. Chairman, I'm Shyps. Good morning, sir."

"Ah~ Good morning, Hypus. Your voice sounds tired, how's things going? In half an hour, the stock market will open. I don't want my property to be affected by this."

Abel said in a calm tone as he ate the sandwiches, milk, and grilled steak that Avril and Britney had fed him.

Shopps on the other side of the phone, his voice listening tired.

Maybe I didn't really have a good rest last night.

"Mr. Smith, things might be a little troublesome. The substation suffered serious damage and has burned down completely. There was an explosion later. As a result, more than 135 families in the vicinity have suffered damage of various sizes."

"Ah...... That's unfortunate. They are wretched people, and I hope God can soothe their wounded hearts." ….

Listening to Abel's compassionate tone, Shopus pouted near the accident substation.

He didn't believe that Abel was really so kind, even if Abel's personal donation was the highest among all the richest people in the United States.

Capitalists have a conscience? If there is, then it is not called a capitalist.

In fact, if he had a choice, Shopps would definitely not want to call Abel.

Even if Abel is the largest shareholder of Pacific Electric in California, he is also the chairman.

Because if it was inside Pacific Electric in California, Shopus, who was supported by the California authorities and the rest of the major shareholders, would have been on the opposite side of Abel.

In terms of guarding against and countering Abel's complete control of Pacific Electric in California, it has always been Shopps who has been in the front.

If it weren't for the current situation, it would be very bad for Pacific Electric in California.

This call, Schupus will definitely not call.

"Mr. Chairman. An accident occurred at the substation, causing a series of explosions. Although the number of dead and injured is small, the area affected is large. The impact on the public and the media is very bad."

Supus pleaded, "We want you to see you as the chairman of the company and the largest shareholder. You can help Pacific Electric in California in the media."

Hypus expressed his reason for looking for Abel.

Make such a big accident. The next impression of Pacific Electric in California among the public and the media can be imagined to be very bad

。

When Shyups made this call, he hoped that Abel, a media tycoon, could mobilize the power of Smith Media to help Pacific Electric in California in the media and public opinion.

On Abel's side, Avril and Britney, one was feeding Abel milk, and the other was wiping his mouth with a tissue.

At this time, they saw Abel sneering silently, but his tone was very calm:

"Oh, of course. After all, it's in my interest. Rest assured, Mr. Schupps. How could I not help Pacific Electric of California?"

"Thank you, thank you!" Hypus had doubts in his heart, he didn't believe that Abel could talk so well.

But at this time, I can only thank Abel.

"That's it. You should be very sleepy or busy right now, go about your work or rest, Mr. Hypes. In terms of public opinion, I will watch it."

"Thank you very much."

Abel hung up the phone.

Seeing him put his phone away, Avril asked strangely, "How do you feel that the expression on your face when you answered the phone just now, and the tone of your voice, are completely different attitudes."

Britney nodded as well, "The expression is sarcastic, but the tone is good. Like two people."

Abel laughed, reaching out and gently squeezing the tender faces of the two.

"Analogy. You bought half of the equity of a cake shop. But the original owner of this shop and the locals are not allowed to interfere with the operation of this shop."

"You can only be the big boss in name. There is also the possibility of receiving dividends or losses every year. How would you feel?"

Avril thought for a moment, "I'm going to be very angry. I'm going to sell all my shares, open another store across the street, and let it go out of business if I don't make any money!" ….

This approach is really Avril, Abel smiled after hearing this.

"If it were me, I'd be angry, too. But maybe we can talk about it?" Britney said.

"I'll add to that. It's the same analogy just now. If this shop is in business and suddenly encounters trouble, for example, its cake has damaged many people's stomachs and affected the health of many people, and it will cause a lot of trouble."

"At this time, the manager of this cake shop, other shareholders, local people. Came to you for help because you're the big boss in name. So what are you going to think and do?"

"How can you help?!

I wish it went out of business!" Avril, who turned 18 in 9 months, immediately said loudly.

Britney nodded.

Abel smiled and spread his hands, "That's why my expression and tone were the same just now. The phone call I made was from the "cake shop manager". He wants me to help."

"Do you have a cake shop?" Avril was a little naïve.

Britney's pretty eyebrows furrowed slightly.

The hottest young idol actress now, since she was by Abel last year.

Her spirit gradually became normal, and her IQ gradually became normal.

After her IQ became normal, Britney developed some symptoms of Stockholm syndrome for Abel.

She especially likes to collect news related to Abel, and especially wants to know about all aspects of Abel.

Now Britney is wondering if Abel has a cake shop.

"Yes." Abel smiled and said, "This cake shop, it also serves most of California. It's just that the "cake" it makes is more special."

Avril wanted to ask what special cake to eat.

Abel had already stood up and said to the two:

"I'm going to go out. You are free to do your free. It's just that it's too far away from California, and there are still ten days left to start in Glamé."

Britney and Avril both nodded obediently and watched him leave.

When Abel left, Avril looked at Britney, "Does Abel own any cake shop?" I haven't heard of it."

Britney shook her head, she had just thought about it for a while, but she didn't remember.

Ya who went out

Bo, the convoy headed straight to downtown Malibu.

Malibu was only officially established in 1991.

It is located west of Los Angeles with a population of 12,000 and is bordered by the Santa Monica Mountains to the north and the Pacific Ocean to the south.

It's more of a town than a city.

In its city center, there is only one business, with a large number of luxury brands and fast-food chains such as Starbucks, McDonald's, Subway, Pizza Hut, KFC, and some restaurants.

[In other words, it is best to read aloud and listen to books at present, @@, install the latest version.] 】

Then again, in the American fast food world, McDonald's is the undoubted giant.

Although KFC is very popular in China, its status in the United States is very low, and its business is very miserable.

In the United States, it is at the bottom of the first-class fast food chains.

As for the many reasons, but the performance of KFC's second largest fast food chain in the world, more than 60% of the performance is contributed by Huaxia.

Abrato Malibu city center, mainly to meet a friend. ….

Daliso Cosso, a friend Abel just met a few months ago.

In downtown Malibu, in a café called Vespaciano.

Abel meets Daliso Cosso.

Daliso Coso is in his 60s.

His father, Buda Coso, was a prominent California Workers' Guild activist in the '60s.

His son, Moss Cossau, is the head of the AFL-CIO in the San Francisco area.

Dalisso Cosso himself is the current president of the California Federation of Labour and Industry.

"Ah, good morning. Mr. Smith."

It's already in a café that has been chartered.

Daliso Cosso, who had been waiting for about half an hour, got up enthusiastically and waved hello after seeing Abel, and said with a smile.

"Good morning. Dear Daliso. Please call me by name, we are friends. Call me Smith, that's too much of an outrage!"

Abel walked over with a smile, shook hands with him, hugged him, and parted.

"Okay." Daliso Coso was so good that he immediately smiled and said:

"Abel, I can have you as a friend. It's really a blessing for our Coso family."

"Me too."

The two of them smiled and sat down.

This breakfast coffee, the two of them drank for about half an hour.

I didn't say anything unspeakable in the middle.

Even if someone is around, listening and monitoring the whole process, they will only think that this is an occasional party and chat between a pair of friends.

At around 10 o'clock, the two left separately.

Get into your own Cadillac monster car.

Able said, "How's the stock price going?"

David Jones, who was in the passenger cab, immediately replied softly:

"The market fell by 13.6% after it opened. ...... so far."

David looked down at his phone, "It's more than 25%."

"Oh...... That's terrible. Ah, my money, lost 25% all at once. It's an unfortunate day today."

In the carriage.

Abel had a smile on his face and said sad words that were completely different from his expression.

A new thought
