"What a winner in life, and this world is really wonderful. It seems that sometimes, wealth is not necessarily a necessity, the key is still to depend on the person......"

Santa Barbara, California.

Corona del Mar San Mateo Road 1.

Early the next morning.

In the breakfast room of the villa, Abel held a copy of the American Sun, sending out such content.

can make Abel sigh so much because the news in this newspaper is enough to make the vast majority of male readers feel indignant when they see it, and female readers are indignant when they see it.

This is an American Sun, reprinted from the British news of the British newspaper Daily Mail.

To put it simply, it was Abel's American newspaper, which reprinted the report of Abel's British newspaper.

Switching between left and right hands, authorizing each other, can save a lot of money.

This is also the reason why those multinational news groups can develop better.

The headline of this news article is "British man lives with 7 wives, and all wives do housework through the "duty schedule", and take turns with their husbands to ...... with their husbands according to the rules.

Seriously, it's just the title.

It is enough to make most men all over the world have all kinds of envy, jealousy and hatred.

And the problem is that this corrupt man is not a very rich man like Abel, he is just a second-hand furniture dealer.

This guy claims to be a saint. The Hebrew king of the era was reincarnated, and under the pretext that God made him marry seven wives, he found seven wives one after another.

The youngest wife, No. 7, is now 20 years old and was 'married' to him when she was in college, when she was only 18 years old......

Abel felt that the benevolent brother in the news was simply against the sky.

Compared with himself, this benevolent brother has no plug-ins, he is really just an ordinary person.

Unlike himself, he has an unparalleled talent in finance.

There is also a super exaggerated body, which barely undertook the current Crystal Palace.

Crystal Palace is even a bit precarious, largely dependent on wealth and power.

What about people?

Abel couldn't help but sigh that many times the magic of religion is so terrifying.

It can even replace money, power, and other abilities to influence humanity and make humanity subjugitate to other humans.

"Oh, you're reading this news too? Ha...... It's outrageous, but I've seen it. His wives are all average-looking, and none of them are pretty. ”

Yin Kana, her father, got up a little later than Abel.

The old man came in for breakfast, glanced at the newspaper headline that Abel was reading, and said with a smile.

Able put down the newspaper and gestured to the seat next to him, "Ted, sit down." None of us seem to have breakfast together. ”

"Hah, that's true." Ted Lerner sat down with a smile.

The old man was in a good mood.

Yesterday at noon, he and Abel rushed to Santa Barbara.

It was more than two hours before Ted met the two little grandchildren he had been dreaming of.

The two children born to his favorite daughter are also the two children he values the most now.

The main reason is that Abel attaches great importance to family values and treats his illegitimate daughter very well, which is not a secret among the upper echelons of the United States.

Ted thought that the daughter of a Hollywood female star could be loved and treated favorably by Abel.

The daughter who is more loved by Abel, the child born by Yin Kana, Abel only likes it more.

Abel likes his grandson, so his grandson is naturally more valuable.

This makes Ted think that these two little grandchildren are the two most important ties in the future between the Lerner family and the Smith family.

Ted, who had a strong merchant habit, was happy to show great affection for these two grandsons, even if it was only out of merchant's ideas.

Yesterday evening and evening, he even took turns hugging Yinfana Laura Smith and Andy Trp Smith for almost two hours under the guidance of nurses and baby specialists.

That's right, the two children that Yin Kana gave birth to Abel are called that.

The girl was born first, and she was the older sister. In the end, it was decided to use Yin Kana's mother's name, which is the name of the child's biological grandmother.

The middle name is the name of her "grandmother", and the last name is, of course, the unquestionable Smith.

The boy was born later, the younger brother. The name was Andy, taken by Abel. The middle name is Yin Kana's surname, which is Ted's surname, followed by Smith.

These two children, as soon as their names are revealed, anyone who knows a little about things will immediately know who their father is.

This means that, fundamentally, Abel never thought of hiding these two children.

He is open about the presence of children.

Ted Lerner is very satisfied with this.

Because the more Abel is like this, the better it is for Ted.

Between the dining tables.

After sitting down, I first took a sip of the warm cow Nu Nai.

Then Ted asked, "Honey, have you read the development report for the X199 plot?" The manager of your real estate company should have told you that the project has started, right? ”

Lot X199 is a real estate property developed on the island of Manhattan by New Beginnings Real Estate in partnership with Ted's Lerner Group.

It is bordered by Fifth Avenue and Middle. Yang Park, the location is good, the only drawback is that the land area is a bit small, not enough to build a large community.

The year before last, under the introduction of Yin Kana, Abel came into contact with Ted Lerner.

The two looked at the plot of land later, and Abel decided to buy it and develop it into the tallest residential building in all of New York.

The land was auctioned off by his New Beginnings company, and the construction company of the Lerner Group was responsible for the construction.

The two parties jointly contributed, with Abel contributing more and enjoying 60% of the property rights, and Lerner Group enjoying 40%.

It was also in this collaboration that Abel had people gather information on commercially valuable land throughout New York.

At the beginning, Abel wanted to build his own "Stark Building" in Manhattan.

It's in the Marvel movie, with a big "A" standing above the head, an iconic building.

With this in mind, Abel discovered the plan for Hudson's Bay City Plaza in the intelligence of these commercial real estate plots.

On Manhattan Island, there is such a large piece of undeveloped land, Abel is naturally amazed.

After he understood it, he wanted to carry out this plan in New York, and he wanted to do something spectacular in Manhattan.

After more than two years of unremitting efforts, Hudson Yards now finally has an eyebrow.

The demolition work is almost over, even if it is very difficult in the middle, and there are some accidents.

But in any case, with the efforts of Abel and Bloomberg, Morgenthau, and other collaborators.

After all, it was all settled, and it was really a huge project.

A big project to negotiate with behemoths, including Mahken and Rockphil.

If it weren't for Abel's rapid growth, if it weren't for Abel's crazy expansion.

Even if we can talk about success, it will not be so smooth.

Fortunately, now, it is finally done.

The entire huge project is expected to start demolition work at the end of next year or early the following year.

Construction began around the beginning of 2005.

Completion is expected by the end of 2008 or early 2009.

Seeing the time period when it was completed, if there were reborn people in this world, it would be found that Able could be said to have "sinister intentions".

Because this project started in New York, and even in the United States after the 21st century, when real estate was the most prosperous and the housing price was the most expensive.

At that time, for this huge project, Abel is bound to engage in off-plan housing.

It's the kind of house that is sold before the house is built.

Don't think that it's just like this in China, and it's the same abroad......

There are many foreign real estate options, and real estate is not an advantageous project.

Except for particularly in-demand real estate projects, most real estate companies can't do this.

And now, no matter how you look at it, Hudson Yards is one such super sought-after project, one of the future Manhattan centers.

Able can take advantage of the boom in the U.S. real estate industry to push up the housing prices of Manhattan's new city landmarks to an exaggerated degree.

When the profit is maximized, sell or rent out the house in the city square.

When the whole project is almost constructed, it is about to be delivered.

It was the end of the subprime mortgage crisis, and the effects of the financial crisis were still ongoing, but it was also nearing the end of the crisis.

This period was also one of the lowest in the history of U.S. home prices.

At that time, the most exaggerated place in the United States, home prices in 2009 fell by 4/5 from their peak in 2007.

The house, which was originally sold for $5 million, fell to more than $1 million.

Even Manhattan is no exception, just slightly better.

At that time, Abel can completely take back the house sold at a high price with the attitude of a great benevolent person.

At that time, there will definitely be a large number of investors who will have to cut their meat and leave the market.

The meat they cut was what Abel called a delicacy.

And as we all know, the economy of the United States began to "recover" again.

Housing prices, which have fallen, have begun to rise again one after another, returning to their peak in 2014, almost doubling in 2018, and doubling in 2020......

Sell at a high price to earn a hand, buy it back at a low price and earn another hand.

After such a toss, the entire construction fund can not only be fully recovered, but even make a lot of money.

This is the basic operation of the capitalists.

As for the X199 plot, the total investment is only hundreds of millions of dollars, and the maximum is only $1 billion.

For Abel, it's just a dessert before a big meal in Hudson Yards.

Insignificant.

But what doesn't matter to him is what matters to Ted Lerner.

This project is already the largest construction project that Ted Lerner has ever received in his lifetime.

In the past, most of the real estate projects engaged by the old man were to buy and sell existing houses, at most they were renovated and renovated.

Today, this x199 project still has a certain landmark, and it is a project in cooperation with the world's richest man.

Of course, Yin Kana's father attaches great importance to it. The old man's work in the past year has all been on this.

Now I have the opportunity to meet Abel in person. Of course, the real estate businessman wants Abel to pay more attention to this project.

This will also raise the profile of the project.

By the time the project is completed, the value of the project will be higher.

When it's time to sell the house, the offer can also be higher.

The house built by Abel Smith is the first real estate project in which the world's richest man participated.

What a good gimmick, those West Asian tyrants who are not bad for money definitely don't mind opening their pockets and spending hard!

"Have you seen it, hasn't the construction work already begun? I remember saying that the progress was good. ”

Of course Abel knew what Yin Kana and her father thought.

Abel smiled and said:

"It is expected to be completed in 2004 and will be available for sale by the end of the year. Ted, trust me, it's going to make you a fortune. And this will definitely make the Lerner Group establish enough reputation in the industry. That way, when construction begins on my Hudson Yards. I will be able to openly let your company join in this feast. It's all in my plan, so you don't have to worry about it. ”

Even if he already knew that the plan was like this, now hearing Abel say this still made Ted Lerner feel more at ease.

Hudson Yards, as long as you can eat 1% of it, it can double the current market value of the Lerner Group!

Thinking of this, the old man's mood improved, and the appearance of his eyebrows fluttering.

"Oh, of course, of course I understand! No one knows ...... better than I do."

Halfway through his sentence, Ted retracted his favorite mantra.

He felt that in front of his son-in-law, it was better not to say anything, and no one understood better than himself.

Smiling disapprerovingly, Ted wisely shifted the topic to Yin Kana and the children.

"Abel, I decided to transfer 10% of the shares of the Lerner Group to the names of Yin Kana, Andy and Yin Fanna."

Abel raised his eyebrows, eyes looking at Ted.

"Yoonkana is my child, my first child. Either way, she will be one of my heirs. Her children, of course, also have the right to inherit a part of my property. And rightfully so. ”

Ted said with a natural expression.

Regarding the old man's statement, Abel was a little unimpressed.

He remembered being Ted's most outstanding child in a parallel time and space, but only because he was a daughter.

Yin Kana didn't get much inheritance at all.

What she has is only part of the management of the Lerner Group.

To put it mildly, she is just working for her father and earning more property for her brothers in the future.

If it weren't for the inheritance of her father's property, she didn't feel much hope.

She won't be ruthless and give up so much, just to marry the oily husband she chose.

Even her vision is not good.

The husband she picked herself is bright on the surface, but he is actually very ordinary on the inside.

A full embroidered pillow, and there was even a thing like "Yin Kana, there are you" in the back.

In view of the parallel time and space, this kind of thing happened to the Lerner family.

Abel doesn't think that Ted is now sincere in giving a part of his property to his women and children in advance.

The old man did this, in fact, it was a businessman's habit.

What are Merchant Habits?

Pay the cost, want to get more benefits.

The 10% stake in the Lerner Group is the cost that Ted took out when he did "this business".

And what he wants is, of course, more and more.

Knowing this, but for the sake of Yin Kana and the children, Abel thought about it.

He still said softly: "I'll replace Yin Kana, Andy, and Yin Fanna, and say thank you to you." ”

"Ted. In this way, all the subsequent proceeds of the x199 project will be merged into the Lerner Group in the name of Yin Kana and the children. This will be the same as the 10% share, as the property of Yin Kana and the children. ”

】

Ted didn't have time to think about whether it would be better for him to do this.

Abel had already stood up, and he spoke:

"I'm full and I'm going to get back to work. In two days, I will go to Washington. Ted, feel free to do it yourself. If you're going back to New York, I'll have my plane take you back. ”

Ted only had time to answer before he saw Able turn away.

Looking at Abel's disappearing back, Ted patted himself a little distressed.

"Smack-"

The old man regretted it, regretting that he had put his bottom line out so early.

In fact, to put it bluntly, the 10% stake that Ted said was given to Yin Kana and her children, which was not as fair as Ted said.

The reason why he did this was very important was because he was afraid that Yin Kana would use Abel's power and with Abel's help to influence and intervene in the Lerner Group.

The Lerner Group and he are so dependent on Abel now, if Yin Kana wants to do so, Abel will support it.

Nated himself and his other children would be very troublesome.

If Yin Kana is ruthless, Abel will also be ruthless.

It is not impossible for Ted and his children to even be directly occupied by the dove.

This happens too often among the wealthy and business families in the United States and Europe.

It is a standard wealthy grudge routine.

The problem is that Ted is now reluctant to bring the benefits that Abel brings to him. And the impact of all aspects, and a better future.

In order to guard against this possibility, he intends to divide the property in advance.

Give up a large piece of interest and cut a large piece of your own meat.

Hopefully, I can dispel the idea that Yin Kana may be able in this regard.

He was testing Abel just now.

Test Abel's possible attitude and stance in this matter.

As a result, Abel didn't express it at all, and he had to increase his weight on this matter.

The interests of the X199 project were merged into the Lerner Group, which gave Yin Kana a greater voice in the Lerner Group.

If Kana Yin doesn't have an idea, that's fine.

By doing this, Abel was purely helping Ted Lerner and allowing him to grow his real estate company faster.

If only Yin Kana had an idea.

By doing this, Abel was directly helping Yin Kana seize power on the bright side.

It's just that Yin Kana is both famous and capable, and her brothers are too inferior.

In that case, there was nothing her father could do but cut it right away.

Thinking of the possibilities that followed, the more Ted Lerner thought about it, the more he regretted it.

"I shouldn't have said that...... No, I shouldn't have come to California! ”

Ted hates California, and he doesn't think California is compatible with him!

Now he is even more sure of that.
