America’s Road To Wealth

Vol 2 Chapter 221: annie likes the feeling

Chapter 221 The feeling Anne likes

The lush trees sway with the wind.

The hot sun hangs high in the sky.

Warm winds blow through the City of Angels.

Beverly Hills, 812 North Bedford Road.

"On the Internet, many people are saying bad things about you~"

"Honey, these people are so stupid."

"They don't blame themselves for being greedy, or for being stupid."

"They're blaming you, these idiots! No, I'm going to scold you back!"

“.”

In the villa, facing the city view of Los Angeles.

Outside the huge mobile floor-to-ceiling windows, there is an infinity pool in the master bedroom.

Anne Hathaway is sitting at a computer.

She turned her head to talk to Abel from time to time, while concentrating on scolding people on the Internet.

Anne logged in at this time, a forum on the Yahoo website.

This is a stock forum, where many American leeks speak freely.

But not long ago, a public enemy appeared in this forum.

This public enemy is named Abel Smith.

According to a survey initiated by a post owner in the forum.

At least one-third of the people in the entire forum lost more than one thousand dollars in "Sampla Energy".

Let everyone lose so much money, and everyone regards Abel Smith as the culprit.

Naturally, I was resented by the people in the forum.

Looking at Anne who was typing vigorously.

Abel came to her side with a smile, and stretched out his hand to gently wrap her round and smooth shoulders.

He didn't even glance at the content of those American netizens who were scolding Annie.

Abel knew these people, so he must be very angry at this time.

These American leeks, they probably didn't expect it either.

Abel Smith initiated the first general tender offer of his life.

The process would be so tortuous, and the ending would be like this.

But Abel was not afraid of their resentment.

Because it is not just Buffett and Winston who are playing with Abel this time.

This round I did this time.

Thousands of investment banks across the United States, at least more than 100 participated.

More securities companies must also have their hands.

In this "Sampra Energy" incident.

These large and small institutions.

They earned tens of millions of dollars more, and it is estimated that they could make millions of dollars less.

Not much meat, but it was an enjoyable hunt at hundreds of establishments across the United States.

It's a bit like the "GameStop" event in the later period in parallel time and space.

This is why the original thing just happened.

In the media and on the Internet, there is still a lot of criticism of Abel.

But within two days, these voices were suppressed.

There are these organizations helping here.

These organizations are worried about Abel, who holds the media group in his hands.

When you can't bear the pressure, expose them.

These institutions reciprocated, and with a little cooperation, they directly suppressed most of the voices.

So much so that the entire United States is currently up and down.

Still scolding Abel's voice, only those relatively small American leeks still have some lingering voices in the forum.

Let's put it this way, this "Sampra Energy" incident.

It is a round that Abel made.

He paid a portion of his fame and fame, with the cooperation of those institutions that smell blood.

Flicked in a large number of leeks and buried them in the pit of "Sampra Energy".

The institutions cooperated with him, and within a short period of time, the stock price went up.

In the process of speculation, institutions have left the market one after another.

The stocks of "Sampra Energy" they held were all sold to Leek who heard the news.

Then when the time came, Abel turned around and bought the shares of Cal Pacific Electric.

This made Sampra Energy stagnate.

Before that, many institutions started shorting.

Then the stock price of Sampra plummeted, falling to the point where the leeks could not take care of themselves.

In the end, Smith Capital won the shares of Sempra Energy at a very low price.

In this incident.

Abel achieved his goal at a relatively low cost.

Abel's harvest can be regarded as the biggest.

Followed by institutions.

Institutions earn once for long positions and once for short positions.

Although there are too many people participating, there is very little distribution to each person.

But more or less money is made, and institutions are the happiest.

The worst thing is leeks.

They wanted to make a vote on "Financial Moses", betting that Abe would buy Sempra Energy at a premium.

This is one of the common cognitions of those previous financial experts!

Leeks don’t know, in fact, many experts are dogs raised by institutions.

The leeks didn't even expect it.

The "Financial Moses" who had such a good reputation before would rather not have a positive reputation.

are also unwilling to buy their stocks at a premium.

In the end, their wishes came true and they suffered serious losses.

In this incident.

Abel was not without loss, what he lost was part of his fame and good reputation.

Fame refers to his reputation in the stock market.

Originally, his reputation in this area was similar to that of Buffett.

is the kind of stock he buys.

The positive reputation that any stock will go up.

But just for this battle, it is impossible for the leeks to trust him anymore.

If Buffett came here once, no one would believe it in the future.

But this actually made Abel more satisfied.

Because of such fame, he didn't want it in the first place.

Thinking about it, I know why he doesn't want it anymore.

Abel and Buffett are different in many investments.

Buffett's investments are basically real value investments.

It is the kind that buys it and holds it for a long time to wait for dividends, and basically will not sell it again.

Abel's investment, in addition to short-term investment.

Many times, when he is in the stock market, he is thinking about mergers and acquisitions.

Short-term investment is okay, and the leeks can make him get out faster and more comfortably.

But if it is an investment in mergers and acquisitions, and the leeks are also swarming up, it will raise the stock price.

This will create obstacles for his acquisitions.

Just like the Sempra Energy this time.

Abel rushed to hold and control Sempra Energy, and became a shareholder of this company.

The leeks are following suit, which is bound to raise the stock price of Sempra Energy.

At this time, if Abel still wants to hold a controlling stake, it may even be an absolute holding or privatization.

Then the money he wants to pay will definitely be at a premium.

Once or twice is okay, if it happens every time.

Then every time he acquires a company, he not only has to fight with the company's original shareholders and other institutions, but even distributes the benefits to the leeks every time.

Abel certainly didn't want this to happen.

So after he came up with this idea, his brain trust made this for him.

The consequence of doing this is to directly ruin his reputation in this regard, just like Buffett.

The disadvantage is that in the future, leeks will not dare to follow him when he buys stocks.

But the advantage is that Abel will be in the open market in the future, if he makes a general acquisition offer.

Those leeks, want to take advantage of this opportunity again.

It is necessary to consider "financial Moses", whether to cheat them again.

In addition to the fame in this respect.

Another price he paid was part of his good social reputation among ordinary people.

This is also a suggestion given to him by the think tank.

The think tank advised him to add some stains to his character design.

In the eyes of ordinary people in American society, Abel’s original personality is very majestic and upright.

Pay taxes according to law, true and great philanthropist, super investor, super entrepreneur

The first two, any one in the United States, can be regarded as a halo of a saint.

He made two of them.

If it weren't for the latter, he added a **** personality to himself.

It is estimated that many Americans are already thinking about him in their hearts.

It's kind of like Anne Hathaway.

Annie's parallel time and space, the reason why she was later hacked by the whole of the United States.

is that she "looks too good."

The above are the original words of a black Anne ordinary person interviewed by a Hollywood newspaper.

So did Abel.

The persona of a **** is not black enough.

Even in the eyes of many Americans, Playboy is not a stain at all.

He took the initiative to do this this time, and there is also a factor of discrediting his own character design.

So many people know Abel.

Won't think of him too "perfect".

So he is now.

It doesn't matter at all that leeks are slandering him in various Internet forums.

What he wanted was this kind of slander!

Otherwise, rely on the power of 1450 Network Information Company.

He himself can suppress these voices.

That is, Annie didn't know that these were actually directed by him.

Because of the scolding of him in these niche forums, he will be furious and fight with them.

In addition, Anne's "Princess Diaries" is about to be released.

The Princess Diaries in Parallel Time and Space was released on August 3, 2001.

Princess Diary in this time and space.

Because of the appearance of Abel, there is also the investment of ab Smith Entertainment.

Disney filmed it earlier.

And decided to release it on April 12th.

As the heroine, and also the most important role.

Princess Anne Hathaway, of course, will attend the premiere, as well as some promotional activities that will follow.

She also took a week off from the established "Spider-Man" crew.

Starting tomorrow, she will be promoting with the crew for a week.

Fortunately, the filming of "Spider-Man" has not officially started yet.

Currently in the set and final preparations.

Filming is not expected to start until April 20.

Tomorrow is April 12th.

Annie, who had already asked for leave in advance, returned to No. 812 North Bedford Road, Beverly Hills with Abel.

As for Abel, he came over after the Sampra Energy event.

He came here to deal with the privatization of Sempra Energy.

According to Abel's plan, he is planning to merge Ales Energy, Sempra Energy, and California Pacific Electric!

The main difficulty of this job lies with California Pacific Electric.

On the Pacific Electric side, he only holds 51% of the shares.

If the three companies merged.

The other 49% of California Pacific Electric's shares will occupy a large proportion of the new company.

This is something Abel cannot tolerate.

Because in his planning, energy is one of his three chariots.

The other two of the troika.

One is still in Texas, just a prototype American Pacific Supermarket.

Another carriage, also still in its infancy at this time.

It is a Tesla company that does not even have a product.

According to his plan.

These three companies symbolize energy, people's livelihood, and high-tech manufacturing respectively.

Finance and media are the knights he uses to protect and support the troika.

The last one is Masaharu and himself walking in the middle, the groom driving the carriage.

So Abel can tolerate Smith Capital, and even Pacific Bank of Commerce has other shareholders.

It is also possible to allow other voices in the media group.

But in the Troika, he just wants to be exclusive.

While gently rubbing Anne's shoulders, Abel was thinking about how to get the rest of California Pacific Electric's shares as soon as possible.

In fact, the easiest way is to spend money.

California Pacific Electric had a previous market value of nearly $30 billion.

Later in the Sempra Energy incident, because it was the main competitor of Sempra Energy.

Everyone thinks that if Abel gets Sampra.

Cal Pacific Electric will definitely have a hard time in the future.

This made California Pacific Electric investors not optimistic about it, so that the stock price fell to more than 24 billion US dollars.

Abel secretly contacted the shareholders of this company and directly bought 51% of the shares in cash.

51% of the shares can be bought in cash, and of course the rest can be.

After experiencing the Sampla energy incident.

If you want to buy these shares of California Pacific Electric, you must pay a premium.

The premium may still be high. It is estimated that if you get all of them, Abel’s total cost may be more than 30 billion U.S. dollars.

Abel didn’t want to spend such a large amount of money.

Thinking about it, Abel's eyes drifted to the computer Anne was playing on.

April 11, 2001, at two o'clock in the afternoon.

April 11.

September 11th!

Finally he decided to wait another five months.

Five months later, buy the bottom of the US stock market!

Thinking of this, he was no longer obsessed with getting his three carriages up immediately.

He is still very young, and he still has a lot of time to prepare to build his own perfect empire.

Abel's focus was on the lovely girl in front of him.

Annie's skin is very good, she is actually a mixed race.

She is of German, French, English, and Jewish descent.

Gathered the blood of mainstream European and American races.

She also has perfect looks and a tall figure, as well as Xiong Da who is not particularly big, but Xiong Er who is not small at all.

Such a good natural material, but it is so poorly mixed in the parallel time and space.

You can only blame the inferiority of the Americans.

Americans or many Westerners, they don't believe that there is such a perfect woman in the world.

Well, Abel knows that Anne is not that perfect.

for example

She will snore when she sleeps deeply;

When she was too excited when she was doing yoga, the sound was a bit ugly, like being beaten;

Her learning ability is very poor in some aspects, she can't always play the organ or sing the lyrics of Chen Houzhu;

Her stamina is very poor, even worse than that of Scarlett, who is only sixteen years old.

Scarlett can last for about two hours.

Annie will call for help in an hour at most, and will not know if she is in two hours

In short, Anne actually has many shortcomings.

Now, Abel looked at Annie who was seriously fighting online, and he wanted her to sing a song.

But before that, let her brush up on how to blow the piano.

Abel asked her to get up, and he sat in Anne's place.

Abel himself came to fight those leeks on the Internet.

Anne

Annie played the piano for him on the carpet.

Soon, the sun set in the City of Angels.

Dusk comes, and it is also the most beautiful moment in Los Angeles in April.

The sky in Beverly Hills is like a piece of drawing paper, on which the magical paintbrush of sunset can be freely swayed.

"I can't do it, I can't do it."

812 North Bedford Road, Beverly Hills.

The edge of the infinity pool outside the master bedroom.

The water in the pool rippled wave after wave.

Annie lay powerlessly on the swimming pool, she begged for mercy:

"I really can't do it. Let me go, honey, please."

Abel could see that she was indeed at her limit.

He didn't really want her to get hurt, so Abel could only choose to let her go.

Abel was sitting next to Annie, letting the golden sunlight of sunset fall on himself and Annie.

While admiring the scenery of Los Angeles in the distance, he admired Annie, who was as beautiful and lazy as a golden muse.

I was in the right mood, and suddenly I heard Annie whispering:

"My dear, you can actually send that Jessica or Charlize."

Abel: "!"

He looked at Annie suddenly, and found that the latter was also looking at him.

"What do you mean?" Abel said softly.

Anne pretended to be relaxed on her tired face, and she smiled and lay down by the pool:

"Literally. Let them come too, so I can relax a bit."

"In some ways, you are not human!"

"Me and Jessica, Charlize" Abel wanted to explain a little bit.

"You want to say that you have nothing to do with them?"

"Stop kidding. And don't try to lie to me, honey."

Annie said softly: "Actually, I have seen it and guessed it a long time ago."

Abel was silent.

After a few seconds, he said, "When did you see it? How did you see it?"

"Ha~ Admit it? Hmph!"

Annie felt relaxed, she frowned at Abel:

"It's very early. There was speculation last year. It's confirmed this year. For example, Michael Ovitz has the same attitude towards us, but his attitude towards other actresses is different."

"This proves that in Ovitz's heart, I have the same status as them."

"Similar to MGM's Robbie."

"As long as you want, it's so easy to observe."

"Not to mention that you don't bother to hide these yourself. The media is full of your photos."

Abel looked at Annie, thought for a while, he picked her up and carried her into the bedroom.

It was getting dark outside, and she might catch a cold without clothes.

"Then what are your plans?" Abel asked softly as he walked in with her in his arms.

Annie's face flashed with confusion, but she quickly became firm.

"What else can I do?"

"I tried to stay away from you. But I found that it was impossible unless I was willing to disappear."

"Your shadow is everywhere in the United States. As long as you don't let me go, I won't do anything."

Annie stretched out her hands and embraced him actively:
