Chapter 524: Hitching a ride on the rise of great powers
A woman's complexion is the most intuitive portrayal of happiness, and only with the nourishment of love, the care of family, abundant time and superior living conditions, can a woman exude a radiant complexion.
This kind of brilliance, all of which is inseparable from the support of the other half, the thoughtfulness of the man in the family, and the man's financial ability.
No matter how deep a woman's self-cultivation is, no matter how high her income is, and how prominent her status is, it is often difficult to whitewash the unique complexion on the face of this radiant woman.
At 11:30 a.m., at DR10066 Cielo, inside the villa's restaurant.
Looking at Ikana, who was eating little by little like a kitten eating, Abel smiled and said:
"You still have to breastfeed little Andy and little Alya, do you have enough nutrients to eat such a little?"
"Absolutely. This is a recipe designed for me by nutritionists. It allows me to guarantee the nutritional supply of my two babies, and it can also guarantee my figure. ”
Looking at the large number of these high-calorie barbecues, chicken rolls, steaks, and vegetable salads in front of Abel, as always, Ikana sighed in her heart.
She really wants to have this kind of physique that doesn't get fat, and how much strength she eats transforms into how much strength.
If she could, then she wouldn't have to start with her own sensibility, and even think about the calories of a candy every time she eats it, and how many grams of weight it will make.
The two chatted a few more words, and in the afternoon Ikana went out to find a suitable office space near Beverly Hills.
Abel has prepared the personnel and funds needed for the new company, and she only needs to pick the venue she wants, and a new Internet company will be set up in Los Angeles.
Internet companies based in Los Angeles rather than the San Francisco Bay Area are quite rare.
No matter what time it is, the rent here is still a little more expensive than there.
The two chatted a few more words, and Paris came down.
It has been almost half a month since she gave birth, and her good medical conditions and good physical fitness have made her body recover well.
I can already walk around the ground, but I can't do heavy physical labor yet.
But with a mother of her status, it is impossible for her turn to do heavy physical activities.
"Alright. I'm full, I'm going to work. You've been with me for the past few days, and the rest of the time will be given to dear Paris. Lest Miss Hilton have a postpartum depression, then I will be extremely guilty! ”
Ikana teased Paris, who gave several rolls of the eyes.
She said to go, and she really got up and was ready to go out to see her new company's office space.
This job is actually not very difficult, and New Beginnings Real Estate has prepared several options for Ikana, which are all their own properties.
If these Ikana can't afford it, then New Beginnings Real Estate Company can provide intermediary services like other real estate companies and introduce other office buildings to Ikana.
Having a real estate company of its own, not to mention the question of whether it makes money or not, at least it can provide great convenience in this regard.
Ikana is gone, and only Abel and Paris are left in the restaurant.
Abel walked over, put his arms around her, and walked her to his side and sat down.
"Honey, what do you want to eat? Oh, supposedly what can you eat right now? ”
Abel cares about authenticity.
To be honest, Abel and Paris don't actually have much affection.
At the beginning, the two were able to hook up together, mainly because the adulterer was intentional and the "Y woman" was affectionate. Coupled with the identity of having friends and girlfriends, and the excitement brought by secretly XXX by Ikana's side, the two of them got together.
After a long time, Paris's belly grew bigger, and everything was logical after that.
For Paris, Abel originally had concerns about her in a parallel time and space.
That made him stay away from Paris at first.
Paris in parallel time and space can not be said to be the good woman in the eyes of men.
Fortunately, in this time and space, Abel appeared very early. When he appeared, Paris was still the obedient daughter of the New York Hilton family, and everything was still in time.
And because of her envy of Ikana's "good luck", under the operation of Barron Hilton, she and Ikanna became good friends.
That's what follows.
Now everyone's belly is too big, and the children have been born to themselves.
Conduct and personality are completely different from those shown in parallel time and space.
For such a Paris, who is obedient to himself and has no crippled appearance, but is becoming more and more beautiful, he will naturally cast some feelings.
"I've already eaten it." Paris said sweetly, "The doctor said that it is best to follow the dietitian's recipe for the first 20 days. That's the best for me and for my children. ”
"By the way, dear, are you okay this afternoon?"
Usually at this time, Abel has long been gone, and usually goes out in the morning and is busy until the evening before returning.
It's this time today, Ikana has gone out, but Abel hasn't left yet.
That's why Paris asked.
"I'm going to go out a little later, go to the music dream factory, and fix some things. I'm going to San Francisco in two days. But wait a minute, just take a look at the investment briefing, so I'm going to be with you now. Abel put his arms around Paris, who was now giving him a fleshy feeling, and said softly.
It's only been ten days since I gave birth, how can I lose weight right away.
Now Paris is very moist. There is a strong smell of female water on the body, which is a unique taste of lactating women.
Some people like it and some people hate it, Abel likes it anyway.
This may also be one of the reasons why he likes to get his women pregnant one by one.
She stayed with Paris for more than an hour, and then she went to take a nap.
Help Paris cover the blanket, look at the upturned curvature of her mouth and the quiet sleeping face, smile slightly, Abel picked up the shorts on the side and put them on-
Some places cannot be used during the confinement period, but not all places cannot be used.
He cautiously opened the door and walked out, into the study at the other end of the hallway.
Sitting in front of the computer, he opened his email and began to check the newsletter, in fact, he also knew that there was nothing important on the newsletter, but it was very important for him to know the daily life of each company at all times.
He can delegate power, and he is willing to delegate power and use suspicious people without suspicion, but the surveillance that should be there is still very necessary.
In a bunch of briefings, he saw a briefing from Huaxia.
For Huaxia, Abel does not attach much importance to external performance.
But only he knows that he is very concerned about it, both public and private.
Yu Gong, he has a lot of investments there.
Since the end of 2000, Abel has sent a Chinese executive named Lin Xiaoying and an American executive named Kevlin to Huaxia to set up a branch of Smith Capital.
Smith Capital (Huaxia), which is led by the two of them, is mainly engaged in angel round investment and venture capital.
and to do some auxiliary work for Abel, such as after they have passed.
Some public media in China, mainly publications and the Internet, often see positive reports of the American legend Abel Smith.
In these reports, the reporters, writers, and columnists praised him as an American like a flower in the sky.
In those articles, Buffett, Soros, and Bill Gates are not as good as Abel Smith.
They talk over and over again about Abel's charitable donations, and then in turn blame them for the indifference of the rich people in their country.
Anyway, some of them will look old-fashioned in the future, but in this environment after the millennium, many small ones can be reshaped. White. Rabbit three views of things.
To put it bluntly, this kind of thing is actually the earliest form of NGO.
During this period, its power came to be particularly great.
So much so that in the past two years, Abel Smith has almost become the most positive image foreigner in the impression of Chinese people.
It is roughly equivalent to the sum of the positive images of Buffett + Bill Gates and others in this period in parallel time and space.
Of course, compared to other NGOs who are only responsible for blowing and infiltrating, Abel has to be much more human.
Something happened over there, when you need a donation.
Smith Capital (Huaxia), a foreign-funded company that has little business there, has always been the one that has donated the most.
It also makes his reputation particularly good for the authorities over there.
Especially when he has such a big influence in the United States and the world.
These are the main jobs of Lin Xiaoying and Kevlin.
But compared with the foreshadowing of their personal image, Abel is actually more concerned about their performance in Huaxia.
Abel had carefully read every briefing they sent.
This made him very satisfied, because in these briefings, Smith Capital (ChinaAMC) has touched almost all the future Huaxia industry giants.
In terms of the Internet, Penguin, Ahri, Somao Sodonkey, Wangzhuyi, Jinshan and the like all have more than 15% share investment, and the highest even accounts for more than 35%.
Other aspects have not been spared, such as the shares of Moutai Group, which was listed on August 27 last year, and the price is only 31 yuan Huaxia currency.
Abel asked Lin Xiaoying to invest 100 million US dollars, and this money does not have to do anything, and it will become billions of dollars in the future......
Other industrial companies such as Liji Automobile, BYD, etc., Abel did not let them go.
In the past two years, Abel's total investment in China has exceeded 5 billion US dollars.
But Abel was very cautious, and his purpose was clear. He is not here to try to control these Chinese enterprises, he is here to share the benefits of China's rise.
Therefore, the proportion of his investment will not be very high. Even if it is as high as 35% of the net pig easy, he plans to slowly compress it to about 10% in the future, which is the safety line he set for himself.
If you stay within the safety line, you are not afraid that they will suppress their investments for the purpose of national security.
More is better than less, what Abel wants is just to lie on Huaxia and make hundreds of billions of dollars by hitchhiking.
This is the public aspect, the attitude of a capitalist towards that country.
On the private side, even if he has become a capitalist, he still has some feelings for that side.
Because of special circumstances, it can't be passed, but it's okay to care about it from afar.
After reading a round of briefings, Lin Xiaoying's briefing on Huaxia Investment, the last bit of content caught Abel's attention.
The above is that there is a company called Goudong that wants to get investment from Smith Capital (ChinaAMC) recently.
Founded in 1998, the company is currently the most influential agent in the field of optical and magnetic products in China, and its sales volume and influence are second to none in the industry.
Now, the company wants to expand investment in the field of optical and magnetic products, and wants to try to enter the field of e-commerce in China, which has begun to emerge, and cultivate the entrepreneurial experimental field.
Lin Xiaoying offered Goudong $15 million, a price of 30% of the shares, which is still being considered.
In the briefing, it was confirmed that this dog dong is that dog dong, and this strong brother is that strong brother.
Abel replied by email to instruct that 15 million US dollars, that is, more than 100 million RMB, could be reduced to 10 million US dollars, and the shares could be required to be only about 20%, but they were required to have preferential financing rights.
10 million US dollars, according to the current exchange rate of more than 70 million RMB, is already a huge amount of money for Gou Dong and Brother Qiang at this time.
Reducing the proportion of shares can make the other side less vigilant and make it easier for Smith Capital to take shares.
By 3 p.m., Paris had woken up from a nap.
Abel was in the room, hugging his son Barron Jr. for a while, before kissing Paris goodbye and going out to the living room.
Sitting in the carriage of the Cadillac monster, Abel opened his mouth and commanded:
"Go straight to DreamWorks Music."
After Edward confirmed that the main entrance of the villa was secure through the contact on his ear, the car drove out of the gate and drove away.
DreamWorks Music.
The Smith Media, a music business, was formerly a subsidiary of DreamWorks Films.
After Abel acquired DreamWorks, it naturally became Abel's property.
Abel convinces David Geffen, the richest man in the world, to continue running and leading DreamWorks Music.
This guy is really capable in this field, and he is worthy of being an industry leader who has created a legendary singer group and a legendary superstar.
Now Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Avril Lavigne, Celine Dion, Kanye and other well-known singers are all signed singers of DreamWorks Music.
In the American music industry, the original situation of three big and one small was broken by DreamWorks, following Warner Music, Sony Music, Universal Music and BMG, DreamWorks Music has become a new giant, known as the Big Five.
Compared with these four old giants, the only thing that DreamWorks Music lacks is the current global layout.
Now, DreamWorks Music is actually headquartered in the Smith Building in New York, after all, New York is the music capital of the United States.
But here in Los Angeles, there are DreamWorks' largest recording studios and branches. After all, it has a unique geographical advantage, and its proximity to Hollywood is enough for DreamWorks Music to invest more here.
The big boss arrived, and David Geffen, the general manager of DreamWorks Music, of course, greeted him personally.
But David Geffen, a billionaire himself and worth billions of dollars, doesn't devote all his time to the company.
He had his own business and entertainment, so David Geffen came from his villa.
When he came, Abel had been in the chairman's office for a while.
"David Geffen is here?. Wait a minute, let him in. ”
Abel lifted his chin slightly to help Lydia, Hearst's secretary, who was tying her tie.
Why do you wear a tie, of course, because he took it off just now.
As for why you want to take it off, you can guess some of the reasons by looking at Lydia's beautiful red cheeks now.
Lydia tied Abel's tie, picked up the suit hanging aside, stood behind Abel, and unfolded his clothes to make it easier for him to put them on.
Watching Lydia twist her waist and leave the office, Able took a sip of coffee and leisurely picked up a cigar on the crystal ashtray and took a puff.
He never did this before, but now that he may be older, he occasionally smokes a puff or two.
But in fact, it's just pretending, and I don't really like it much.
The props he pretended to be expensive were $471 a Behike cigar from Cuba.
This cigar is produced in a limited edition of 4,000 in boxes of 40 and is sold in full boxes of 40 cigars.
Not long after Lydia went out, there was a knock on the door.
"Come in."
The richest guy on earth, one of Hollywood's most influential tycoons, American music magnate David Geffen walked in with a smile.
Abel and David Geffen have known each other for a long time, first meeting on Ovitz's yacht.
At that time, Abel wanted to see the scene and buy a stake in CAA from Ovitz and others.
David Geffen went up fishing, it was real fishing, this guy was a super fishing friend, rich and free, and he drove a yacht to fish all over the world.
Because there is a feeling of "acquaintance in Weimo", the relationship between the two is not just a boss and a worker, but more like friends.
"Good afternoon, David. I heard that you caught a gold-ringed thorntail fish of more than 50 pounds in Hawaii a while ago, and this is all in the news. ”
Able greeted him with a smile.
The Ringed Piercing Fish, a fish that has only been found near the Hawaiian Islands, is a specialty there. Generally more than a dozen pounds, more than 50 pounds are already considered behemoths.
Abel, who is not a fishing friend, can know this and care about this, of course, he has done his homework in advance.
"Hah...... That's just luckier. The weather was nice that day and I didn't expect to catch it. "This is the thing that this angler is most proud of and happy about lately.
As soon as he entered the door, he heard Abel mention it, and David Geffen's mood immediately became very good.
After chatting on this topic for a while, Abel took advantage of the very good atmosphere before Abel shifted the focus of the conversation between the two to the company and David Geffen.
Yes, where did David Geffen go.
This is for the guy, he wants to resign.
Or maybe he wanted to step down from his position as general manager of DreamWorks Music and only serve as an executive producer and consultant so that he could spend more time in other areas that he was more interested in.
Like what...... Buying a big newspaper and being a newspaper owner or something.
Abel had promised him at the time that he would help him try to buy the Los Angeles Times.
Abel was a little helpless about this guy's thoughts.
First of all, David Geffen is very rich, and he is always worth five or six billion dollars, and maybe even more.
Secondly, he is gay, because he is too rich to have any material needs.
Abel had nothing to attract him in terms of power and wealth. He really wants to resign, and Abel really has no good way.
At that time, it was only possible to let him stay and help him tidy up the music of DreamWorks, which was achieved with the promise of helping to buy a large newspaper.
The so-called desirelessness is just like David Geffen.
"David, you could actually continue to lead DreamWorks Music and do what you love."
Abel made a reservation and came here today, mainly to let David Geffen stay.
"For example, you can put your office in the headquarters of the Los Angeles Times or something. So that you don't have to delay on both sides, on one side is your hobby and on the other side is your career, which I think is perfect. ”
Abel began to persuade, but even he himself did not know if he could succeed.
