America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 207 Fear of death is not Abel’s exclusive attribute

  Guided by "Senior Colleague" Liv Tyler.

  Plus someone's integrity is actually the same.

  What you say and what you do are always different.

   What is thinking in my heart is often easily shaken.

   Scarlett Johansson was far earlier than Aber imagined.

   Became his real employee earlier.

   On the morning of February 11th.

   Around 7:30, Abel had breakfast and started his morning workout.

  Since his rebirth, he has always maintained the habit of going to bed late and getting up early.

  Every night, he usually doesn't rest until three or four o'clock.

  The next day I usually wake up after seven o’clock.

   This once made him very worried, worried that there was something wrong with his body.

  Later, he spent a lot of money and invited the best doctors to give himself a physical examination.

  At first, he was worried that his secrets would be revealed.

  Later, he discovered that the real secret of himself could not be revealed.

   What can be revealed is not a secret at all.

  For example, his super high male hormone secretion, as well as abnormal physical recovery and deep sleep quality.

   After checking so many times, he was told the results of each physical examination.

  He is very healthy.

   There are even sleep experts who stayed up for several nights to do sleep tests for him.

  The result of the test is also very healthy.

  He is the one in a million freak in human physique.

   This reassured him a little, knowing that he was not sick.

   But the body is really good.

  Those doctors are so good to his body.

  Most guesses and studies are believed to come from genetic inheritance or acquired mutations.

  Only Abel knows that he has this healthy and excessive body.

  The high probability may be related to my different experiences from ordinary people.

   And this made him cherish his body even more.

  Since then, he has been exercising.

   No matter how good a kitchen knife is, it will rust if you don't sharpen it hard.

  He felt that no matter how good his body was, if he didn't pay attention, he would lose shape one day.

   If it is really deformed, the physical strength will drop.

  That would be too bad.

  This world is so beautiful, he wants to enjoy it for a few more years!

   At 7:30 in the morning, the exercise is over.

   That is to say, before 8:30.

  He has already completed a series of things such as getting up, running, taking a bath, eating, and so on.

   At this time, there are two "employees" in the room.

  They are still sound asleep.

   At nine o'clock, Abel left Paradise Bay Villa.

  Around one o'clock at noon.

  In Paradise Bay Villa, the largest master bedroom.

   Liv Tyler slowly opened her eyes.

  She is full of energy, but physically tired.

   Liv looked up at the unfamiliar ceiling above her head and was dazed for a while.

   Stared blankly at the ceiling for a few minutes, spending the hazy time when he first woke up.

   Liv just turned sideways, and she was no longer surprised that the man was not around.

   And another young figure of the same **** appeared beside him.

  She is also not surprised.

  The last time we woke up together this morning.

  The same-sex person lying on the same bed with her is Sarah Michelle Gellar.

  The one who was lying with her this time, Liv Tyler knew her name was Scarlett Johansson.

   Liv Tyler suddenly found out.

   Whether it's Sarah, Scarlett, or herself.

   All three of them were born as child stars.

   There are people in the family who have been in Hollywood or the entertainment industry.

  The previous experiences are very similar, but the experience in Hollywood is different.

   "Fantastic similarity, bad encounter."

   Liv Tyler muttered like this.

  She leisurely saw the sleeping Scarlett, the eyeballs under her eyelids were trembling.

   Liv knew that it was a sign that a sleeping person was about to wake up.

   Not long after, Scarlett also opened her eyes.

  At first, she looked at the ceiling as vaguely as Liv just now.

   "啪~"

   Liv slapped her directly on the shoulder.

   "It's one o'clock, it's almost afternoon. Still sleeping? Young man, you don't need to work."

   Scarlett, who was a little hazy, became a little sober after being beaten by her.

   Frozen for a few seconds, Scarlett's memories continued.

  The blond girl remembered where she was at this time.

   The two chatted for a while.

   Liv got up first, followed by Scarlett who continued to lie down for a while before slowly getting up.

   And wait for the two of them, probably around two o'clock in the afternoon.

   just came out of the bedroom.

  Abel himself, others have arrived in the Bay Area.

  He met Warren Buffett in San Francisco, also known as San Francisco in China.

   It was Warren who asked him to meet here.

  Buffett came here to inspect several companies.

  Then the stock **** heard that Abel was nearby, so he asked him out.

   The two met in San Francisco, an ordinary cafe.

   Another word.

   Warren Buffett also has his own security company.

   is the scale, not as big as Abel's rock security.

   After all, behind Abel, I still want to play PMC and try to be the king of war COSPLAY.

  Both of them had too many bodyguards.

  The bodyguards of two people occupied the entire cafe.

  So among the richest people in the United States.

  The attribute of fear of death is not exclusive to Abel.

   Really reach a certain level, the real rich.

   It can be said that there is no one who is not afraid of death and does not pay attention to his own security work.

  Especially the rich in the United States!

   The most typical example is Soros.

   Around Lao Suo, within the same class, there are rumors around him, and there are even professional Secret Service and FBl or ClA people working.

  The reason is that Soros is still the financial sword of Wall Street.

  Many times, whether Lao Suo is willing or not.

  Old Suo will be pushed by the people behind him, even the white house directly, to invade small countries financially.

   Lao Suo's numerous crimes in financial warfare.

   It is enough for those countries that have been financially invaded by him to launch a physical and physical counterattack against him.

   You will know if Lao Suo dares to go to Southeast Asia.

  This is also the reason why Soros's security work has those special staff.

   People are really fighting for the country!

   Even this "country" is often just a representative of capitalists.

  Compared with him, Abel and Buffett are much more normal.

   "Hi, good afternoon. Warren~"

  After the Smith Investment Reception last year.

   Abel and Buffett have become friends.

  Business cannot be benevolent and righteous.

  At that time, Buffett, although he did not succeed in investing in Smith Capital.

  But the two chatted quite speculatively at the time, and the relationship naturally settled down.

"Good afternoon." The old guy said with a smile, "You guys have been on the West Coast for a long time. Hollywood has been stirred up by you for so long. People who don't know think that you are really an entertainment tycoon, and forget that you are the most famous person on Wall Street. A young giant."

   "I'm not a giant." Abel smiled: "My head circumference is so standard, where is it "giant"?"

   "Hahaha~" Buffett laughed out of face.

   As a stock god, few people have said such boring jokes in front of him.

   And with Abel's current status, it is obvious that he can start to be on an equal footing with him.

  Even if the influence is slightly worse, the wealth may be lower.

   But being equal is enough.

   Not to mention accumulating these wealth, Buffett has spent thirty-five years.

   And Abel is less than two years old!

  Have saved 70% or 80% of Buffett's net worth in two years.

   This speed is absolutely unprecedented.

   "I know you guys, you never engage in boring communication."

  Abel had coffee in his hand, but he didn't drink it.

   This is what Buffett ordered for him.

   As soon as he smelled it, he knew it was cheap coffee in this cafe.

   In addition, this has not been checked by the bodyguards, and there is no confirmed safety.

   When outside, Abel will not enter at will.

  He looked at Buffett: "Otherwise, you guy, you wouldn't put Berkshire Hathaway in that small place in Omaha."

   "So let's be honest. Warren, what do you want from me."

   Buffett was not surprised by Abel's directness.

  The last time he was in New York, the stock **** had seen many aspects of Abel directly.

  In fact, this is the same as most Americans, including the upper elites in the United States.

  Because I have never learned the golden mean, I have never learned the tactful Angsa people, so they are often so direct.

  The stock **** took a sip of coffee, put it down, and said, "Do you want to become the owner of American Express?"

  Abel raised his eyebrows, neither surprised nor surprised by Buffett's question.

  The accident was because he didn’t expect that Buffett would directly talk to himself and drink coffee because of the American Express incident.

   Not surprisingly, it was Abel who knew that Buffett took American Express seriously.

  In parallel time and space.

  Since Buffett became a shareholder of American Express, he has always held a heavy position in American Express, and this was the case until Abel crossed over.

   This makes Buffett, has always been the major shareholder of American Express.

   And now on the list of shareholders of American Express, Buffett ranks first.

   But Smith Capital ranked fourth, and Pacific Bank of Commerce ranked fifth.

  The combined shares of the two companies have exceeded Buffett's 11.4% by a little more.

   Americans know that these two companies seem to be independent.

  But there is only one boss behind them.

   In other words, just note the percentage of American Express owned by these two companies.

   Then you can find out.

  Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway is no longer the largest shareholder of AmEx.

   AmEx's largest shareholder has changed.

   is already Abel sitting in front of Buffett at this time.

   "Why is there such a problem?" Abel smiled and responded:

   "You are optimistic about American Express, and I am also optimistic about American Express."

   "Anyway, it is also one of the constituent stocks of Dow Jones. I think such a high-quality company is worth holding for a long time, and I will naturally buy its shares."

  His explanation did not satisfy Buffett.

   "I have been studying you."

  Buffett said softly:

   "Among the materials I researched, it shows that any company you have a stake in, if it takes more than 10% of the shares, will be slowly eaten away by you and eventually become your property."

  Abel responded: "How many companies have I invested in? Maybe not even one-tenth of yours? With such a small amount of data, what is there to count? What truth can be compared?"

   Buffett smiled.

   "But more importantly... the American Express business, and your Pacific Bank of Commerce, form a very beautiful complement."

   "If the American Pacific Bank of Commerce can be merged with American Express."

   "The merged bank can make you one of the real giants immediately."

   "I think this must be a very big temptation for you."

   Seeing Buffett's confident appearance, Abel knew that since he could find him.

   That is to be sure that I will have this kind of thought.

   And I really thought so too.

   Abel simply had a showdown.

   "Okay. Then why did you come to me? Warren, you didn't come to me just to persuade me to quit the board of directors of Amex, did you?" Abel spread his hands and looked at Buffett.

   "300 billion dollars, I want 5% of the shares."

  Buffett suddenly said: "I will satisfy you with the shares of American Express and Berkshire, and part of the cash."

  Abel raised his eyebrows again, he knew what Buffett was talking about.

  His reaction is also very fast.

   "Four thousand. 4%."

   "Yes. But the VAM agreement must become 150, 300, 500, 700."

   "Deal. Welcome to join, the fourth shareholder of Smith Capital."

  Abel stood up, smiling and reaching out to Buffett.

   Buffett also smiled, stood up and shook hands with him.

   After shaking hands for a while, the two sat down again.

  The atmosphere between the two became much better after this.

  Abel asked curiously:

   "Warren, are you so optimistic about me? You know, even the people in Texas haven't contacted me yet."

  “Many people say that my investment skills are prudent and value investing.”

  Buffett said seriously:

  “But I don’t think so. My real investment philosophy is to invest in “people” and brands.”

   “I hold Coca-Cola firmly because I believe in the brand.”

  “When I first invested in American Express, I was also investing in the brand. But when I invested in American Express later, I was already investing in Howard Clark.”

  Howard Clark was the CEO of American Express in the 1960s and 1980s.

  In that era, American Express once experienced a crisis that almost went bankrupt.

   It was Howard Clark who brought American Express out of the quagmire and into a very good situation.

   "This time." Buffett focused on Abel:

   "I'm investing in you, dear Mr. Abe Smith."

  Abel shrugged.

   He scoffed at Buffett's statement.

   Heh. If there was no such gambling agreement, Abel would have almost believed it!

  What is Investing in Brands Investing in "people".

   In the end, isn't it because of the gambling agreement?

  150,

  300,

  500,

  700.

  The four-year gambling agreement requires a total profit of more than 165 billion US dollars in four years.

  Just the profits of these four years.

   It is already possible for investors to return one-third of their capital.

   Calculated in this way, the annualized return is about 10% higher on average.

  This kind of annualized income is almost the same as Buffett's own investment in recent years.

   Not to mention such a huge investment.

  The difficulty of making them generate profits is inherently much higher than that of small batch funds.

   Buffett's words, Abel estimated that at most half of the truth.

  The other half is based on the gambling agreement.

   "That's right." Buffett asked with a sudden smile:

   "Just now you said that I am Smith Capital, the fourth shareholder."

   "Who are the first three?"

   "I, David Mellon, and a Texan." Abel replied directly.

   "Oh, Texans." Buffett understood in seconds.

  Looking at him understanding.

  Abel smiled secretly, but strictly speaking, you are the first real investor.

  Those two investors. They all took dry stocks, and only had the right to dividends in the early stage.

   It will take a long time to guarantee support for Smith Capital.

   can become the kind of real shares.

  The dividend right will always be in the hands of Abel.

  So whether they can get the money or not depends on Abel in the end.

  After this incident, Berkshire Hathaway officially became a shareholder of Smith Capital

  After the two leaders have determined the basic cooperation intention.

  In the follow-up, there will naturally be relevant personnel from the two companies to conduct more detailed negotiations and study the contract.

  This kind of thing naturally requires professional accountants, actuaries and lawyers to intervene.

  Among the top ten private companies in the United States, there are three to four companies such as PricewaterhouseCoopers.

   That's what they do.

  Then the two chatted for a while.

   Soon after, Warren Buffett left.

  The stock **** will continue to inspect the company.

  Different from Abel, when Buffett wants to invest in a company.

  The old guy will be very active in researching the company, attending the company's shareholders' meeting, and visiting the company on the spot.

   It's like playing a game.

  Some players earnestly searched for strategies, studied clearance videos, and finally cleared the level with hard work.

  And some players can enter "greedisgood9999999999" at the beginning.

  The next step is to directly buy, buy, buy, buy, build, build, build, build, and build, and the strength is enough to make a flat push.

  The ones that can be opened and the ones that cannot be opened.

  The gameplay is naturally different.

   sent Buffett away, and the protagonist did not leave San Francisco.

  He’s all here, so of course he’s going to visit some of his companies here.

  For example, at the request of his largest shareholder, Google also moved to Palo Alto.
