Chapter 684: Don't give up yet
San Francisco Bay Area.
"This is a Bay Area landscape villa on 3.51 acres, 7,894 square feet of living area, 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, gym ......"
"It's palace decoration again!"
Amanda Hearst frowned slightly, looked at the luxury villa in front of her, and directly interrupted a person in charge of the smiling New Start Real Estate Company with a smile on her face, completely losing interest in continuing to watch.
"Give me the picture book." With a cold expression on her fair face, Amanda asked for the album directly, and while the people from the New Start Real Estate Company were waiting carefully, she quickly flipped through it.
The person sent by New Beginnings Real Estate Company is a middle-aged woman.
She holds a high position in New Beginnings Real Estate, one of the top 10 real estate groups in the United States, and is the company's head of the San Francisco Bay Area.
It's just that at this moment, the way she looked at Amanda was completely in awe with curiosity and envy.
Especially when her eyes frequently fell on Amanda's big belly, which was completely bulging and could be seen for some time!
This, she thought, must be the blood of that one!
This young lady is also surnamed Hearst, and she should be the Hearst of Hearst Media.
So she felt that the child in Amanda's womb must be extremely noble.
She had to be very cautious and respectful in front of Amanda.
Amanda flipped through the catalogue quickly, then found a picture, pointed to it, and said, "Go and see this one." ”
After speaking, he returned the album to the female manager, turned around on his flat shoes and walked back to the car, and bent down directly into the black Cadillac.
The female manager with a wry smile also trotted back to her car, started the car, and led the way in front.
Amanda sat in the Cadillac compartment with a calm face.
She followed Abel from Washington to California, and it has been half a month.
When he first arrived, on Beverly Hill, Abel hugged his two children and gave one of them a happy smile on his birthday that Amanda still remembers.
He is really fond of kids!
Since then, a trace of wandering and confusion since pregnancy has completely disappeared from Amanda's heart.
Having a baby for him, Amanda is now pretty sure she's not wrong to do so.
Not long afterward, Able communicated with her.
The content is very simple, her belly is already very large, and she will give birth in two or three months
Continuing to work with such a big child will undoubtedly be very hard and dangerous.
Abel thinks it's time for her to have a baby.
And assured her that after she gave birth and could continue to work, she could still go to any position she liked, including the position of general secretary and chief secretary.
Amanda agreed.
She did feel hard, the child seemed to be a little nutritious, relatively big, and she was also hard as a mother.
Then she chose to place the baby in the San Francisco Bay Area, one of the best places in the United States.
Today, Abel arranged for the New Beginning Real Estate Company to accompany her to choose the villa to be used to raise her baby in the San Francisco Bay Area.
First choose from the new starting real estate company's own properties.
If she is not satisfied, then look at other companies, in short, make her satisfied.
Then again, even if you are a member of the Hearst family.
She has never experienced this feeling of picking a 10-million-dollar mansion at will.
It's been a morning today, and it's all afternoon.
Walking around with a big belly, she didn't feel tired, but happy. It can only be said that women are like this, and when shopping, they have stamina and energy buff bonuses.
Another mansion.
In front of the modern style detached villa with sea and mountain views, the female manager carefully looked at the expression on Amanda's face, and found that the expression looked much better, and couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
She didn't expect the beautiful little pregnant woman in front of her to be so difficult and difficult to serve, looking at her in a subtle and low-key dark blue suit, a full set of tops with skirts, and open sleeves, so that the traditional combination with modern characteristics made it more and more shining.
A big rattle of hair hangs down to one side, which makes it even more sophisticated.
Black silk and mermaid skirt can be called a perfect match, especially such a tall and curvy mature beauty, once you wear this style of skirt, it is equivalent to the most fatal temptation.
The white shirt with a special red flower embroidered on the neckline subtracts the monotony, and the bulging belly adds more mature flavor to her, which is simply fascinating.
Walking slowly in the ultra-modern style decoration of the mansion, looking at the surrounding transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, panoramic views, metallic kitchen, marble luxurious bathroom, oversized bathtub, the bedroom almost occupies the entire room Simmons.
Amanda was finally satisfied, her beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but pick, and she turned back to the female manager and said, "That's it, how much is it worth?" ”
The female manager hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, "The market price is $13.5 million!" ”
Amanda frowned, feeling a little cheap.
But she also knows very well that this is a luxury residential area in the San Francisco Bay Area. But in terms of price, it really can't compare to places like Beverly Hills and Manhattan.
However, she really liked this villa, so she "reluctantly" accepted its "cheap" shortcomings, and chose here.
In the evening, Abel, who had just finished a meeting, walked into his office while thinking about the problem.
"Boss, I'm back."
"Huh? How's that, is there anything optimistic? You've been looking at the house for two days, so if you can't do it, just look at the market. ”
Abel took off his suit and chuckled as he looked at Amanda.
Amanda took the suit, hung it on the hanger, and said in a greasy voice:
"After all, I'm going to live for a long time in the future, so I can't pick one I don't like. But today I met a favorite one, and I've already picked it! ”
Saying that, Amanda also opened the album of the villa to Abel and put it on the table to introduce him page by page.
"Okay, it's not bad, so be it, we'll move in today. We're going to be here in San Francisco for a few days, and we'll be back in Los Angeles next month. ”
After Abel nodded, he watched Amanda decorate the "home" of the two with great interest.
Able shook his head with a smile, took a folder, opened it, and began to look at the files.
It's late July, and he's been in California for more than half a month.
Everything is going well on Ikana's side, and Twitter is on track. It's just that Google has a slight complaint, they think that Twitter's model is very good, and they also want to develop a similar business, but they are rejected by Abel, the largest shareholder.
However, Abel has always played a stick to give a sweet date.
He promised to give Google a percentage of Twitter stock in the second round of funding. In this way, Google will also become a shareholder of Twitter, and everyone will make money together.
But although the Internet is very profitable, compared with Abel's "old business", it is really nothing.
Recently, international crude oil prices, which had been stabilized by the United States in the previous two years, have risen again.
A few days ago, it broke through $60, which is the highest price ever, and once triggered a sharp decline in global stock markets.
Abel has been prepared for this, and even the global stock market has fallen to his part.
Smith Capital was a big short and made a lot of money.
Google and Twitter only rely on making profits, and I don't know how long it will take to earn it back.
But it's not just about making money, Abel also wants to take this opportunity to spend a lot of money to brush up on the presence of Tesla's electric vehicles.
This new energy company, which is valued at more than 20 billion yuan, has become less and less hot since the last time he tossed with Warren Buffett.
The products that can be marketed recently are finally coming out, and Abel plans to help it brush up on the heat.
It just happened that the oil price rose sharply, so of course it can't be let go.
This round of oil price "bull market" began at the beginning of this year, soaring from more than $30 per barrel at that time, to a maximum of $61, and now about $58.
The conclusion given to Abel by the Smith Intelligence Group is that this round of oil price increases, measured by the magnitude of the previous three oil crises, constitutes a new oil crisis, which is one of the important reasons why the US economy has fallen into recession and the global economy has slowed down.
Even strictly speaking, it is one of the reasons for the formation of subprime mortgage crises and financial crises in parallel time and space.
Oil crisis, energy crisis. For Tesla, this is a godsend.
It's only in times of crisis when people are in crisis and the price of oil is too high to refuel.
People will pay attention to the issue of renewable energy and environmentally friendly energy, and the substitution of oil.
Abel has been nesting in the San Francisco Bay Area for the past two days, staying more on Tesla's side.
We will have a meeting every day to brainstorm new ideas on marketing planning and promotion methods, and then we will immediately choose to implement them.
Under the influence of geopolitics, major oil producers have repeatedly refused to increase production.
A number of media and institutions even sadly predict that oil prices may exceed $80 per barrel in the future.
Abel thought to himself, pull it down, $80 is nothing. It's easy to keep going for $100 and even more.
However, although the publicity has started now, the launch of Tesla's products will have to wait until the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
So the hot spot of publicity was mainly at the end of the year, and Abel even directly asked MGM Pictures to start filming the "Fast and Furious" movie.
When the time comes, let the new energy vehicles show off fiercely, even if they are engaged in science fiction, it doesn't matter.
At the same time, the group's other films, only related to cars, can also be slightly modified on the new energy vehicle show.
Speaking of movies, Robert and Marvel soul Lee have not given up hope of letting Abel participate in Marvel movies.
So much so that according to Abel's assumption, Iron Man, who should have come out early in the C position, has not been filmed yet, and has been stuck in the screenwriter's book.
It can only be said that these two people are really persistent.
But it's understandable, because Abel is really willing to take the film.
That's just his starring role, which is estimated to increase the global box office by about $1 billion.
Not to mention that there are numerous other unseen benefits.
Then they naturally want to try to achieve it.
