America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 209 King Smith

  The film that Abel intends to let Scarlett do.

   is a parallel time and space, the movie "Kick-Ass" that appeared in 2010.

   This is based on Mark Miller's comic strip "Kick-Ass".

  A funny comedy superhero movie played by Chloe Grace Moretz, who was about thirteen years old at the time.

  Abel intends to let Scarlett play the role of Super Killer at this time.

  Scarlett at this time was about the same height as thirteen-year-old Chloe Grace Moretz.

  When it’s time to shoot, the makeup will be a little more childish.

  With Scarlett's current appearance, she can definitely bring out the girly and Lolita mixed temperament of Super Killer.

   Didn't look at Liv Tyler, and suddenly saw Scarlett wearing a bath towel.

   Almost regarded her as a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl?

   In addition, Super Killer is popular. One is pretty and cool, and the other is a violent Lolita plot.

  Scarlett has them all.

   And during the shooting process, she can try to hide her well-developed figure as much as possible.

   After Scarlett finishes acting in these two plays, she will almost grow up in a year or two.

  At that time, she was asked to play Natasha the Black Widow again.

   When the time comes, when everyone is watching a movie.

  They will suddenly find out that the Lolita super killer is so unexpected!

  Abel remembered that Kick-Ass' investment was not expensive.

  Even if it’s just for Scarlett to practice how to shoot scenes that hit women.

   Anyway, it’s just a funny superhero movie with a small budget, so it doesn’t matter if it blows up.

   Think of it as a practice for Scarlett and MGM, or to learn from the experience of shooting super British movies.

   As for Scarlett, I heard that she will soon be able to act as the heroine of an MGM movie.

   She is still the heroine of the series, and she didn't ask about the film's investment budget, so she was so excited that she carried herself away.

  So that night, the swelling has not disappeared.

   Scarlett was brave and dedicated.

   Riding a horse is a joy.

  The result of doing this is to let her wait for several days to cultivate.

   Only then can the body be completely restored.

   February 15th.

  Abel is finally back in New York.

  It is different from Los Angeles, which has begun to pick up.

  New York in February.

  Even if it is already mid-term.

   Except for the time at noon, the temperature is still below zero most of the time.

   Fortunately, the blizzard is gone, leaving only occasional light and moderate snow.

   But Abel had reasons why he had to come back.

  Because there are still a few days left, the closed period of the first private placement of Smith Capital is coming to an end.

  Smith Capital’s first phase of private placement raised a total of three billion US dollars.

  The management fee is 0, the redemption fee is 2%, and the subscription fee is 1%.

   Except that the management fee is 0, which is outrageous, the other two items are relatively low values ​​in Wall Street.

  But the most outrageous thing is the bonus withdrawal fee of up to 50%.

  50% dividend withdrawal fee, for this $3 billion private placement.

  It means that half of the profits earned will be commissions from Abel and Smith Capital, the fund manager and management institution.

  Among them, the share ratio between Abel and Smith Capital is 9:1.

   That is, if Abel can get ten dollars.

  He only needs to give the company a dollar.

  If this private placement earns 10 billion U.S. dollars.

  Abe will be given $5 billion.

  Abel’s $5 billion will be given to Smith Capital with $500 million.

  At Smith Capital’s year-end investment reception.

  Smith Capital has announced the profit of the first phase of private placement at the time of the deadline.

   That's about $5.6 billion.

   And wait until the 20th of this month, the closed period officially ends.

  Smith Capital’s first phase of private placement will be the first and last distribution of money.

  Because after that, the first private equity fund will close.

   This is the main thing for Abel to do when he returns to New York this time.

   When he came back, it was already night.

  He didn't notify anyone, after all, he is the boss and the host of everything.

   In addition to family members, there are also women.

  He doesn't need to explain his itinerary to anyone.

   Even women and family members, many times the same.

Manhattan, New York.

   8 East 63rd Street.

   This is a townhouse located in the Upper East Side with 5 floors.

  9 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, property taxes $14,166 per month.

   It is ideally located on the boulevard between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue.

  The owner who lives here can easily go to Central Park, museums, Madison Avenue shopping mall and other famous places in Manhattan.

   This is the property that Abel bought two months ago, costing him $24.995 million.

  The reason why the difference of $5,000 is exactly 25 million.

  Because according to the current Manhattan deed tax payment standard.

  A mansion worth 25 million yuan will pay 5% more deed tax than a house worth less than 25 million yuan.

  Around ten o'clock in the evening.

  Upper East Side, 8 East 63rd Street

   "Coffee!"

  Abel, who was wearing a thick long coat, went in directly with the cold air when the female bodyguard opened the door.

   After entering the warm room, he took off his coat and walked to the living room on the second floor.

  Abel saw that there was a bottle of whiskey and two crystal square glasses with a little bottom on the table.

  Of the two wine glasses, one has only a little drink left.

   The other did not.

   There was a female bodyguard waiting beside her, and she saw the boss's questioning gaze.

  The female bodyguard responded softly: "Miss Lerner and her friends went up to rest."

  Abel nodded.

  Miss Lerner, of course, is D·Ikana Lerner.

  This townhouse is actually a small love nest that Abel gave Ikana.

   After the two confirmed their relationship.

  Ikana moved in here when Abel left New York and Hawaii last month.

  When I was almost 20 years old, I could have my own independent house.

   And it is also the top mansion in the Upper East Side, an independent townhouse.

  This kind of house, even if it is from Ikana's background, makes her very proud.

   The key is this house, which Ikana can make freely by herself.

  With it, Ikana's circle of socialites in New York has become more proficient.

  According to the report of the professionals arranged by Abel by her side.

  Ikana often brings friends from her celebrity circle to live here, and even holds parties occasionally.

Of course.

  Ikana is also very measured. She has never brought a man home, not even her father.

   And she never stays out at night.

  Abel who has learned about the character and experience of Ikana in parallel time and space.

  He knew she was that kind of person.

  In the past, there were only a few resources provided by her father.

  She can make friends all over the world in the New York celebrity circle.

  Now I have Abel's resources, as well as the mansion and yacht that Abel gave.

  She is even more able to toss about in this regard.

  According to Abel's knowledge, Ikana is now almost becoming a "vassal prince" in the New York socialite circle.

  She has a higher status in the circle of New York socialites than her previous and parallel time and space contemporaries.

   In this regard, Abel actually agrees with it.

  It is better to let Yikana go to the circle of celebrities and toss around all day, than she spends all day thinking about YKM, which has no future.

  It's better than her thinking about being her own harem all day long, thinking about intrigue and scheming.

  Anyway, I have arranged professional staff to follow, so I am not afraid of the chameleon problem.

  It's just for New York ladies circle.

  Let her play.

  With a smile, Abel went up to the third floor.

  The first floor of the villa is the welcoming living room and leisure room.

  The second floor is a large living room and dining room, as well as a small living room.

  The third floor is the study room, and a master bedroom that occupies most of the area.

  The fourth and fifth floors are all guest rooms and other bedrooms.

  There is an outdoor swimming pool on the roof of the sixth floor.

   There is also a small hanging garden.

  Ikana naturally lived in the master bedroom, and her guests probably went to the guest bedroom upstairs.

   Walking to the door of the master bedroom, Abel listened carefully inside first, but did not hear any sound.

  He turned the door and it was unlocked, which made Abel push the bedroom door open and walk in.

  After entering, what Abel saw was some messy white round Simmons, with some clothes thrown in a mess.

  A pair of white Balenciaga fell in front of the closed bathroom door.

  Abel walked over and picked up the Balenciaga on the ground.

  Abel was still inside, and saw a $99.99 Isa penis.

  He walked back to Simmons, thought for a while, took out the phone from his pocket, and turned it to silent.

   Then he stood up and took off his clothes, except for one.

   It seems that because of looking forward to the next show, the visual impact is a bit BIG.

   Checked the time, almost ten minutes had passed, but he still didn't see Ikana coming out of the bathroom.

   After thinking for a while, Abel lifted the quilt and got in directly.

   A few minutes later, he was under the blanket, and heard the sound of the bathroom door opening.

  He waited quietly.

   Soon Abel heard footsteps, came to the edge of Simmons and stopped, rustling, not knowing what he was doing.

   Originally, he wanted to wait for Ikana to sit on Simmons.

  He exploded again to give her a real "surprise".

   But the quilt is a little stuffy, and the heating in the room is too strong.

   This made Abel really unable to stay.

  Abel was in Ikana, just sitting next to Simmons who was closest to him.

  He suddenly jumped up, lifted the quilt, hugged Ikana, and laughed—"Surprise!"

  He noticed that this Ikana came out without wearing a bathrobe.

  The figure is still a lot smaller and has shrunk a lot.

   What responded to him were two screams from Ikana.

  Why two sounds?

  Because another Ikana in a bathrobe, just across from him, came out of the bathroom.

  Ikana, who was wearing a bathrobe, was startled when she saw a person jumping out of the quilt suddenly, and couldn't help screaming.

  Another Ikana, who was not wearing a bathrobe, was held in his arms.

  She was suddenly attacked, and naturally she screamed in fright.

  I saw an Ikana at the door of the bathroom, and I was holding an "Ikana" in my arms.

  Abel naturally knew that he had definitely embraced the wrong person.

  He was a little embarrassed, bowed his head with a stiff neck.

  The "Ikana" in my arms, where is Ikana.

   Obviously Paris Hilton.

   Ten minutes after the chaos.

  In the large living room on the second floor.

"Feel sorry."

   Abel looked at Paris Hilton with her pockets in order and apologized.

   Sitting opposite him was Paris Hilton, who looked a little shy and didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her head slightly, and she said:

   "You didn't do it on purpose, you misunderstood me as Ikana, and I don't blame you."

  Beside him is the embarrassed and helpless Ikana.

   "Okay~ That's the end of this matter." Abel smiled: "It's a bit late, Miss Hilton, I'm going up to rest."

   After explaining, he didn't wait for the two of them to respond.

  Abel got up directly and went to the master bedroom on the third floor.

  He stayed in the master bedroom for about half an hour.

  The door of the master bedroom was opened, and Ikana walked in.

  He directly hugged Ikana and threw it on the big Simmons.

   "When did your relationship with Paris become so good?"

  After pressing up, Abel didn't immediately take the second step.

   He asked curiously.

  Ikana said helplessly: "Actually, we have always known each other. New York is only so big, how big can our circle be?"

   "Okay." Abel nodded, "Then don't care about Paris. Honey, it's big again! I love them!"

   Abel started his second move.

  The next day, Abel's biological clock made him wake up automatically around seven o'clock.

   As for Ikana.

   It is estimated that she will sleep until noon before waking up.

  After washing up in the master bedroom, he left the bedroom and went to the second floor.

  In the restaurant, Abel saw Paris again.

   "Good morning, Paris." Abel greeted with a smile, as if what happened last night didn't embarrass him at all.

  Paris seemed a little surprised to see him get up so early.

   But the eldest lady of the Hilton family also responded quickly:

   "Good morning, Abel."

   "What would you like to eat?"

  Abel sat down at the head of the table in the restaurant, and he asked Paris.

  Next to him is Stephen, the personal chef who came to serve him first after seeing him appear.

  Chef Stephen, previously worked in a Michelin star restaurant in New York.

   When Abel and Ikana went on their second date, they ate at the restaurant where Stephen worked.

   That was the time Abel dug Stephen into the wall.

   Later, he arranged for Stephen to work at No. 1 Thirteenth Road, Emperor Point, New York.

  After Joanna was transferred to Manhattan to work by him.

  Stephen was also transferred to Abel and transferred to Manhattan.

   It just so happened that Stephen used to be a private chef at Ikana's house.

  Abel simply asked Stephen to work here at 8 East 63rd Street.

  Paris lowered her head and said softly, "I can do anything."

  Abel also let the chef arrange it casually.

   A breakfast, Abel ate extremely embarrassingly.

   This made him eat very quickly. After eating, he talked to Paris Hilton and left quickly.

  Around nine thirty in the morning.

  Abel came outside the Smith Building.

   I haven’t come to the company for a month.

  After he came to the company, his first feeling was that the number of vehicles parked in the parking lot in front of the company building had increased.

  To be precise, the entire parking lot is full.

   Even some cars were parked on the avenue outside the parking lot.

   Obviously, during the time he didn't come back.

  Smith Capital recruited so many people, so many people came to work that the parking lot couldn't fit.

  But just because other people’s cars can’t fit, doesn’t mean the boss’s car can’t fit.

  In the entire parking lot, the few parking spaces closest to the door are always empty.

  That is the parking space for the management, and there are two more parking spaces, which are dedicated to the Abel team.

   After entering the company, Smith Capital is more lively than before.

  Before the entire Smith Capital, the total number of staff has never exceeded 130.

  The entire building, the second and first floors were previously empty.

  The workshop and trading hall are all set up on the third floor, and the whole building is very empty.

  After returning to the company this time, he found that the company has undergone many changes.

   He was watching the company change.

   Those employees in the company who found him back were looking at him.

   His boss, this Wall Street giant, the arrival of this symbol of Smith Capital.

   has long attracted the attention of all the employees of the company.

   Some old Smith Capital employees shouted excitedly after seeing him appear:

   "Hey! Our king is back! Smith Capital, salute our king!"

  The old employees yelled, and learned the ancient knight ceremony in Europe and the West, paying tribute to Abel.

  The actions of these old employees made the new employees start to act immediately.

  The last step is from the door to the elevator.

  All the Smith employees on the road were saluting to Abel in the ancient European knight salute.

  This made Abel laugh and cry.

  At the same time, when Abel was taking the elevator, he saw many busy people on the first and second floors.

   Wait for Abel to take the elevator and reach the fourth floor.

  Smith Capital General Manager David Mellon and Deputy General Manager Melio have already led a group of senior executives to wait at the elevator entrance.

  As soon as Abel came out, what he saw was David and they looked good, and Merio shouted loudly like an ancient courtier:

   "Salute like our king~"

   Then the executives of Smith Capital, like the other employees downstairs.

   A set of standard medieval European standard knight salutes was directed at Abel.

  Abel: .

   Soon, in Abel's office.

   "How is it? I think this is very good."

  “In our Smith Capital, you are the only king.”

   "We are all knights who charge forward for you in the country of capital."

   "Knights should perform knight rituals to kings~"

   "It was Merio's proposal at the beginning. Later, I found it very interesting and asked everyone to have a meeting. Everyone agreed, and then that's it!"

  “.”

  David's explanation made Abel finally know why all the old employees of Smith Capital are today.

   There are also new employees that Abel doesn’t know, and there is a reason why they will perform knight salutes on themselves.

   To be honest, it’s a bit of a second-guess description in words.

   But in it, everyone passing by treats themselves like a king.

   It really made Abel feel like he was the king in this building.

   Facing David's statement, Abel frowned, and said hesitantly, "I always think this is a bit weird."

   "I don't think so." David said with a smile:

  "Basically, the big investment banks and big financial companies on Wall Street will have their own strange traditions."

  “Like Goldman Sachs, their tradition is that the vice president walks everywhere, and the president is not as good as a dog.”

  “Like Morgan Stanley, their tradition is that every Thursday, the whole company must drink afternoon tea, and there must be muffins in the afternoon tea.”

   "Like Lehman Brothers, their senior management likes to play unspoken rules in the workplace~ well, it's better not to go to their company because they are pretty."

   “Like Bear Stearns, they hold an internal sports competition on the first Monday in June every year.”

   “Like Bridgewater”

  “.”

  David Mellon talked eloquently, talking about some industry secrets that even Abel didn't know.

   "These are traditions. They probably don't have any serious use."

   "But they are crucial to shaping the culture, rules, and spirit of an enterprise."

   "Sometimes very useful."

  David looked at Abel seriously:

   "Smith Capital exists because of you. You are the king of this kingdom. Your role in Smith Capital is stronger than the creator."

   “The Lord has said that we cannot create God in our lives.”

   "But we can follow the king in life~"

   "We will be knights from now on, and you will be King Smith."
