America's Road To Wealth Chapter 124

  Chapter 124 Future Business Planning

   "Just answer my question."

  Abel responded to David Mellon in this way.

   But he didn't say he was looking for K Street, because he wanted the people on K Street to put pressure on Sony.

   Then he came to the door and tried to find a way to buy Spider-Man back from Sony.

   If you say it.

   Even if this matter is indeed profitable, David Mellon will definitely say that he is not doing his job properly.

  From David's point of view, Abel should work **** Wall Street.

  Wall Street makes a random sum, and the profit earned is several times that of other industries.

   It's also easier and cleaner.

  With Abel's ability, there is almost no risk.

  It's so easy to make money, so don't make it so easy.

   Run to other industries to make that meager profit.

  David Mellon couldn't figure it out.

  Abel was tired of David Mellon's long-windedness, so he didn't say it directly.

   "Okay." David Mellon didn't know what Abel wanted to do.

  He had to think for a while, and then said on the phone:

   "You don't need to look for me at all. Lapierre, haven't you just had dinner with him not long ago?

   This is an excellent lobbyist. The reason he was able to take the position was because he was excellent in this respect. "

   Being reminded by David Mellon, Abel felt a sudden realization.

  That's right, I don't need to use David to find related channels indirectly.

   Isn't the largest lobby group in this country closely related to himself?

  The National Rifle Association has always been the top client of K Street.

   "Oh, that's right." Sitting on the sofa, Abel couldn't help but patted his thigh.

   "Thank you, David, for reminding me." Abel said with a smile.

   "Lapierre is Lapierre. If you need more, I can find you some more. After all, in this field, each of them is good at different angles."

  David Mellon said: "Like Lapierre, he is obviously not very good in the financial field. If you need a lobbyist in the financial field, there are better ones on Wall Street."

   "What if what I need is external or related to the entertainment industry?"

  David Mellon was silent for a while.

   It is estimated that David was muttering in his heart that Abel was out of business again.

   But David continued:

   "Okay, I will send you an email later. You can ask Merio directly, or ask Jones to contact the other party."

   There are two Davids beside Abel, one is David Jones and the other is David Mellon.

  David Mellon is Abel's right-hand man in finance and capital.

  David Jones, is Abel's assistant in life and other less important business areas.

   Although the two Davids have not met yet.

  But both of them already knew that there was another David beside Abel.

   And it matters.

   In this regard, Abel may really be better at Merio or David Jones if he thinks about it.

   Especially Merio, this guy has been working on Wall Street for nearly two decades.

  His job has always been not investment and finance, but rather assistance in related aspects.

   "Got it." Abel responded to David Mellon:

   "Then you can send it directly to Merio. I will ask Merio to contact these people later."

   "OK~" David Mellon said.

   "That's right." Before hanging up the phone, Abel spoke again:

   "What is the price of oil now? I mean international oil prices."

   "Let me take a look." David said.

   Then David reported a piece of data on the phone.

  After hearing this, Abel immediately issued an order:

   "A good number. So, next, David, we'll start shorting."

  Abel noticed, after hearing his words related to financial investment.

  David on the other side of the phone was visibly excited.

   "Say, my BOSS. I'm happy to fight for you again!"

  Abel smiled, held his mobile phone and said:

   "Three billion US dollars, the ratio is still 1:1, and the leverage is 6-8 times. Short international oil futures at the current price."

"clear!"

  David over there is decisive and authentic.

   Abel hesitated for a moment, and he spoke softly:

   "By the way, you can also contact Mr. John J. Brown of the New York Branch of the Texas Commercial Bank."

  After hearing the name Abel said, Abel noticed that it took a few seconds for David to reply: "What do you mean?"

   "That's what it means. In the future, the middleman of Smith Capital will add a Texas Commercial Bank."

  As soon as Abel spoke, he heard David laugh softly over there, and his tone sounded more cheerful.

   "Dear Abel, it seems that you have gained a lot by going back to your hometown this time."

   Talking to smart people is easy, just ask David to contact John J. Brown.

  This Mellon-born N-generation immediately thought of many things.

  Abel smiled and said:

   "It's too early to say harvest. But there should always be one more choice, right? Like I chose you, David."

   "Understood." David Mellon said with a smile.

   "Okay. That's it." Abel said: "Let's talk next time, goodbye."

   "OK~"

  Abel hung up the phone first, and put the phone on the table next to the sofa.

   Standing up in only a spacious pajamas, he walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room of the Ambassador Suite at the Four Seasons Hotel, overlooking downtown San Francisco below.

  Looking down from the upper level, you can't see the figures of Brother Nee and the homeless people on the lower level.

   Only a bit of cyberpunk can be seen, but at the same time it is extremely beautiful, a beautiful and prosperous steel jungle.

  It's not as good as New York, but downtown San Francisco is still very prosperous.

  Abel is thinking about his next business layout.

   To be honest, because he was not a business elite.

  Just a street network writer.

  Yuan was a senior redneck with a strong artistic talent, but was only good at walking dogs, herding horses and doing some American farm work.

  After such two souls are fused, it would be really strange if they could suddenly become a business elite.

  If he didn't have the “talent” in finance, Abel estimated that at most he would be able to spend some spare money to invest in some future listed companies in advance.

   Hold it firmly in your hand, and sell it after ten years or so.

   In this way, it is estimated that they can earn more than a dozen, or even billions of dollars.

   It is also enough for me in that state to live happily in the United States.

  The key is that I am not only reborn, but also bring such a "talent".

   And also came to Wall Street.

  The happy life on Wall Street for more than ten months has made him no longer satisfied with the life of a rich man.

  He wants more.

   It's just that these "mores" are not so easy to get. Anyway, Wall Street alone can't get them.

  If you only rely on Wall Street, it may be risky.

  He had no choice but to start a grand commercial layout for himself.

   As a result, the layout is only just getting started.

  He himself felt a little confused and couldn't control it.

   Thinking about it gave him a headache, so he patted his forehead.

   "Well, after all, it still doesn't match Germany."

  He could only warn himself in this way, so that he could grasp the key points as much as possible.

  Don't think of yourself as a business elite, and don't think of others as stupid.

   For other things, it can only be said that we have taken one step at a time.

   Fortunately, he also knows that he is actually the two strongest places.

  One is my talent in the financial field.

  There is also a family background that can be strengthened under the influence of my financial talent.

   Keeping these two, Abel felt that even if he failed a few times in business, it was nothing.

  Thinking about it this way, Abel felt much more relaxed.

  He no longer thinks about it, he has some complicated business layout.

   "That's it. Media and entertainment first! But focus on energy and industrials."

"In terms of media entertainment, there are currently CAA, ab Smith Entertainment, Marvel, ab Smith News, and Isha. Isha shouldn't be counted, it's just a playground. That's brokerage business, film investment, film companies, and paper media. .”

   After much deliberation, in this business chain.

   It also lacks film distribution capabilities and TV stations.

  The theater chain is not easy to touch, and it may trigger the Paramount Act at that time.

  After much deliberation, in terms of media and entertainment, Abel feels that he will focus on TV stations and film distribution next.

   Among them, the release of the movie is not very important.

  As long as you have money, the movie is still a good movie, and you are not afraid of not having a good distribution company.

  The key is the TV station.

  Abel in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows returned to the sofa.

  He searched a few drawers next to it, and found paper and pens easily.

  He wrote down the words of the TV station on the paper.

  After clarifying this field, Abel turned his attention to energy and industry, which he actually valued more.

  The media is just the mouthpiece and personal entertainment, while energy and industry are the backbone of whether one can stand up straight.

  In terms of business, Abel has no clue, to be honest.

   Energy is okay, and now he has become the owner of Aleswas and Electric Company in Texas.

  Although Ales Company is only a small and medium-sized energy company, it can be regarded as an entry-level company.

   Subsequent capital injection can be used to expand itself, or directly annex other peers.

  Thinking of this, he wrote "Energy-Annexation" on the other corner of the paper.

  After confirming these two key points, he breathed a sigh of relief.

   "Let's do this for now."

  Abel put down his pen, picked up the A4 paper with a few simple words on it, and looked at it.

  At this time, he heard light footsteps behind him.

   That was the sound of bare feet stepping on the soft carpet.

  Abel turned his head and saw the dim light.

  With not a single strand on her body, Anne Hathaway, who was glowing white all over, rubbed her eyes dimly, and limped towards him.

   Unlike Jessica, this girl doesn't like to wear clothes when she is around him.

   "Honey, what are you doing?" Anne Hathaway, who squinted for a while, couldn't find Abel after waking up.

   Hearing voices in the living room, he came out to find Abel.

   "It's nothing, I was afraid that I would forget something, so I wrote it down to strengthen my memory." Abel responded with a smile.

   As soon as he finished speaking, Annie had already walked beside him.

   Then she was not polite at all, and directly sat in Abel's arms.

  Abel is wearing pajamas, but the pajamas are also in the most primitive state of human beings.

  Anne: Σ(°△° )︴

  Abel: (→_→)

   "Oh, I suddenly remembered. I'm hungry, I'm going to eat something." Annie stood up and said.

   Abel pulled her over and took off his pajamas.

   "What's for dinner?"

   When the two came out of the room and wanted to find something to eat.

   It was already around twelve o'clock in the evening.

   Honestly, Anne Hathaway didn't want to come out at all.

  At this moment, her hands and feet are limp, relying entirely on her boyfriend to support her.

  Now he is a big-bellied man, and his food intake alone is equivalent to the food intake of several red necks over two meters tall.

   It takes time for the hotel staff to clean up the room.

   Simply go out to eat, anyway, the Four Seasons Hotel also has a restaurant.

   And it is still open 24 hours a day, dedicated to serving customers.

  Annie, who was not sleepy but trembling with fatigue, was followed by Edward and others.

  Abel took the elevator to the fourth floor of the building.

   There is the VIP restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel in downtown San Francisco.

   Walking out of the elevator, the first thing Abel saw was a rock security staff member.

  He nodded towards the other party, and the other party was flattered, and quickly responded to his boss.

   This staff member came down ten minutes early.

  The job of this staff member is before the boss arrives.

   Arrive at the place where the boss is going early to check the safety situation.

  The accompanying rock security staff, not only this staff member, three came down.

  With the direct relocation of the Rock Security Headquarters, plus Abel's long-standing emphasis.

   This security company is getting bigger and bigger and more professional in related aspects.

  Edward did not stop himself from coming down, and Abel knew that this meant that the rock security had confirmed the safety situation here.

  He stepped out of the elevator, half supported and half led Anne Hathaway, and walked into the restaurant.

  At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night,

  The VIP restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel, and other guests.

  Abel noticed that there were three tables of guests in a restaurant of about two hundred square meters.

  Including his table, there are four tables in total.

  He soon discovered that the guests at the other table nearer to him were not guests at all.

  It was played by rock security personnel, probably setting up a protection post to facilitate support in the restaurant.

   There are two other tables, one table has only one guest, and the other table has three guests.

   Seeing this scene, he nodded in satisfaction.

  This level of security work is not in vain for him to spend tens of millions of dollars on rock security every month.

   After sitting down, the bodyguard brought the menu of the restaurant. Abel ordered a bunch of meat, and then gave the menu to Anne.

   "The milk pudding here looks good in the picture. I remember you like milk pudding the most. Would you like some?"

  Abel asked softly.

  Anne Hathaway took it subconsciously. After hearing what Abel said, her eyes fell on the picture of milk pudding on the restaurant menu.

  On weekdays, she really likes to eat this dessert.

   "I still don't want to eat." She whispered.

   "I'll just order a glass of lemonade."

   Just drink something to relieve your tiredness, Annie thought.

  Abel nodded, he didn't think about it, and handed the menu to the bodyguard directly.

  Have your own bodyguards, send the menu to the restaurant, and then supervise their cooking.

  At this moment, Annie's body is sore and numb, the kind of tiredness after excessive exercise.

  She is in better spirits. On the way from Los Angeles, I slept in the car for two hours.

   Just at night, I squinted for another hour or so.

  She is feeling sleepless and exhausted now, and she talks to Abel:

   "My dear, look at what you said to Ovitz today, have you really bought Marvel?"

  Abel nodded with a smile, "I arrived in San Francisco yesterday. I didn't let you come over because I was negotiating with Marvel's Isaac Perlmutter yesterday."

   The negotiation took half an hour, and the rest of the time was spent doing other things.

   "At noon today, 63% of Marvel's shares have been owned by AB Smith Entertainment."

   "This ratio is close to an absolute holding, and it has basically been declared that this company will belong to me next."

   "Oh~"

   Relying on her own ability and IQ, Anne was admitted to New York University, not just those pure scumbags in Hollywood.

  Know and understand concepts such as relative holding, safe holding and absolute holding.

   "So it's true that you want to buy back the copyrights of Spider-Man and X-Men?" Anne Hathaway asked curiously again.

   "Naturally it is true." Abel stretched out his hand with a smile, and picked up the sideburns that drooped when she was speaking, and put them back on her white and delicate ears.

  This little action made Annie feel very good, and she smiled sweetly.

   "Do I really have a chance to play Mary Jane or Gwen? When I was a child, my favorite superhero was Spider-Man! The woman I wanted to be the most was Mary Jane. But then I thought Gwen was pretty good too!"

   Anne Hathaway said happily.

   "Then I will make your dreams come true. Trust me." Abel laughed.

   "Honey~ You are so kind." Annie's mood became better and better, even though her hands and feet were sore and her waist was numb, she still couldn't help but want to throw herself into a hug, and squeezed into Abel's arms.

  Abel held her with one hand, and stroked her soft and slender waist with the other.

   I have to say that the big horses are in good shape when they are young and at their best!

   He sighed in his heart.

   At this moment, Abel suddenly noticed Edward beside him, and leaned towards him.

   Immediately next to him, Lin and Johnson were also on his left, blocking his view in that direction.

   These very tacit movements of the bodyguards made Abel slightly startled.

  FXXK!

   he thought to himself—

   It's not really that unlucky, it's just that I came out to have a late-night snack when I was hungry, did I encounter any shooting incidents?
