America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 240 Girlfriend's best friend

  Abel's arrival is obviously a big event for the "Spider-Man" crew.

  It's like Michael Eisner, the chairman and CEO of Disney, no matter which Disney crew he goes to, he is bound to be extremely valued by the crew.

   After all, the status is there.

   As the boss of MGM, Abel came to a movie invested by MGM.

  Here he is, of course the biggest one.

  Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire, after he made out with Anne Hathaway.

  The two of them, the producer and other important crew members came to Abel's side obediently, looking very quiet.

   After saying hello.

  Abel observed carefully and found that Sam Remy and Tobey Maguire seemed to have a slight similarity in appearance.

  Especially at this time Tobey Maguire, in the makeup of Parker in "Spider-Man", is the kind of American version of the honest man.

   This makes the two feel more like brothers.

   But these two people have nothing to do with each other, they really just look alike.

   It fits the appearance of a European and American Caucasian honest person.

   This made Abel couldn't help but look a few more times.

  Abel's niche in this circle is too high.

  His arrival, neither Tobey Maguire nor Sam Remy dared to speak.

   Only when Abel took the initiative to chat with them did they dare to respond.

   "Shooting shouldn't be difficult, right?"

   "Oh, if you have any difficulties, just tell me directly."

   "Well, when you go to Manhattan to film, you can ask Annie to find me."

   "Well, not bad. As long as the box office is good, then everyone can get your share, or... get more."

  “.”

  Basically Abel is talking, Sam Raimi and Tobey Maguire, the producer is obedient.

  Abel also found it boring.

  He also knows that with his current status, even the biggest Hollywood bigwigs.

   In front of my eyes at this moment, I guess it is better than Tobey Maguire and Sam Remy.

   It's like the "Offensive and Defensive Way" that Lao Ma made later.

   This movie doesn't cost much money.

   But almost all the well-known Chinese stars were called together.

   Almost zero pay, starred in this movie that made Lao Ma addicted to kung fu and martial arts.

  During the filming, Lao Ma, a three-legged cat and a layman, beat the actor so hard that the actor didn't dare to say anything, so he gritted his teeth and finished the filming.

   At that time, Lao Ma was at his most energetic.

  The same goes for Abel.

   What's more, Abel is different from Lao Ma. At most, Lao Ma has the title of the richest man, and Ali Pictures, which is only responsible for investment.

  Abel's side, he has one of the real giants in the industry, the boss of MGM.

   Those superstars and celebrities who are high in the eyes of fans and movie fans, shining thousands of times.

   In front of him, it was as powerless as a group of Chinese hit stars who were hung up by old horses in "The Way of Offense and Defense".

   Chatting and chatting, Abel himself felt boring.

  He was bored at noon today, so he came here to visit the class. Curious about how Hollywood makes movies, stop by and have a look.

   After thinking for a while, he opened his mouth and said:

   "Sam, right? Don't affect the progress of the film because of my arrival. You guys continue to shoot, and I'll just watch from the side."

  The big boss has spoken.

  Sam Remy also breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately greeted the crew and actors, and continued shooting.

   It took half an hour for Abel to arrive, after the initial excitement of the crew members had passed.

  At the request of the director and rock security personnel, filming also started.

  Abel, accompanied by Anne and producer Peter Passy, ​​watched Tobey Maguire's performance by the side.

  Probably because of him, Tobey Maguire is under a lot of pressure.

  During the shooting, Toby kept ng.

  Abel laughed, and after confirming that Anne didn't have any filming tasks to do, he took her away without interfering with the crew.

  Leaving the crew, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon.

  The two found a higher-end restaurant in Queens and had a sweet dinner together.

   Return to Manhattan after dinner.

  When I returned to the city, I happened to meet the evening rush hour, and I was stuck on the road for more than an hour before returning to the Carnegie Hill Building.

  As soon as she got home, Anne couldn't hold back anymore, she was going to take a bath.

  In the living room, Abel turned on the TV and turned down in boredom.

  The focus is still watching AMC TV station. He found that he asked Richard Plepler to find Bear Grylls to shoot the reality show, which already had a trailer.

  The name of this reality show is "Survival in the Wild".

  Bell, who is far younger, more handsome, and more energetic than the parallel time and space, started his famous work under the influence of Abel.

  Abel no longer remembers where he went in the first episode of "Survival in the Wild" in the first season of Master Pei.

  Anyway, the first episode of the first season of the AMC TV version of "Survival in the Wild", the destination is the wilderness of Las Vegas.

   But it’s just a trailer at the moment. Abel watched it, and it will be the first of next month.

   That is, it will be officially launched on June 1, 2001.

  Abel, who liked watching wilderness survival programs in his previous life, thought about it and planned to call Richard Plepler.

  The big boss of AMC TV station wants to watch the younger Pei Ye's performance in advance.

   But after looking through his mobile phone, he found that his number two mobile phone did not have Richard Plepler's number.

   It only took one phone call to know Richard Plepler's phone number, and even asked the AMC TV station manager to come over in person immediately.

   But he couldn't find Richard Plepler's mobile phone number at the first time, and Abel, who was interested in the moment, gave up the plan.

   Just at this time, Anne came out of the bedroom.

  He also put down his phone.

  Annie has taken a bath.

  She wore a very **** mesh lace suspender nightdress, a white semi-transparent nightdress, the skirt just reached her hips, her white and smooth arms, and slender and slender legs were completely exposed to the air.

  Because she had just taken a bath, her skin was extremely white, tender and moist, and she looked almost flimsy.

  Her wet hair was still dripping water, dripping on her clothes, the wonderful scenery looming in the white nightdress.

   Seeing Abel staring at him, his eyes were full of possessiveness, as if he was going to eat him, Annie blushed pretty, giggling: "What are you looking at, you want to eat people!"

   "No, I want you to eat it." Abel said.

  Annie was taken aback for a moment, and then blushed for a moment.

  After dating for more than a year, she has already become an experienced driver in this respect.

  Old Siji Anne understood it as soon as she heard it.

   "Aha~ Then I'll eat you~" She jumped up and lay on top of Abel.

  Abel hugged her tightly, and his hands naturally went where they should go.

   Having said that, Abel really “admires” the male protagonists in those novels who hold a beautiful girl who can ask for anything, and who can sit still.

  He doesn't have the eunuch's ability.

  However, it seems that eunuchs also like women, otherwise why would there be the word opposite food?

  Even eunuchs know how to find the right food.

   What's more, he is a normal man with a healthier body than ordinary people.

  He grabbed Annie's round and smooth shoulders.

   Another wonderful evening.

  The next morning.

  Smith Building,

  Fourth Floor Trading Hall.

   David Mellon accompanied Abel, walking among the traders.

  The current price of USD/NOK is still anxious between 7.6050-7.6100.

   "The Neon people have added some chips."

  David Mellon sipped his coffee and said:

   "But I suspect that a third party has already entered the market, but the other party is very cautious and the speed of building positions is very slow, so we can't find it for a while."

  After a day of betting against each other, Smith Capital and Neon people are on the gambling table, and the combined funds between the two parties have exceeded five billion US dollars.

   The two sides who gambled made the USD/NOK exchange rate fluctuate very frequently overnight.

   This kind of volatility has long attracted the attention of global investors.

   Especially retail investors with a large number and average strength.

   This can be seen from the sharp increase in the number of USD/NOK transactions in the past 24 hours.

   "Normal situation." Abel said softly:

   "I suspect that at this time, the entire Wall Street and the City of London are staring at our gamble."

  David also nodded, thinking that what the boss said made sense.

   It's like 1991, when Soros attacked the British pound.

  The side was also surrounded by a large number of onlookers.

   "Then what should we do now?" David asked the boss.

  Abel said: "Didn't I already say it yesterday? The new 100,000 lots, about 10,000 lots per day, takes ten days to open a position."

  David was stunned for a moment, is it as simple as that?

  David was not sure, but he believed in Abel's arrangement, so he nodded immediately.

"All right."

   Take a tour around and confirm that the situation is normal.

   Abel leaves the Smith Building.

noon.

  Manhattan, Union Square.

  Union Square is a large square in Manhattan. Connects Fifth Avenue and Broadway near 14th Street.

   Nearby are well-known universities such as New York University and Parsons School of Design, as well as weekend markets and chain stores of major brands.

  This is equivalent to the university town of Manhattan.

  The land in Manhattan is too expensive, and there are not many schools that can run schools here.

  The campus area is smaller than the other.

  The Manhattan campus of New York University is already the largest campus on Manhattan Island.

   In a restaurant called Brandy on the north side of Houston Street, Abel is waiting for someone.

   After a while, about half past twelve.

  The door of the restaurant was pushed open, and two slender girls just looked around at the door.

  The female bodyguard captain Doni next to Abel leaned forward: "Miss Bush, the boss is here."

   "Oh, it's you. Donnie, please." Little Laura said with a smile.

   "You're welcome." Donnie looked curiously at the Asian girl behind little Laura.

  Doni thinks that this Asian girl's figure is not "Asian" enough.

  Ordinary Asian girl, but never such a big bear.

  Led by Donnie, little Laura and her female companion turned around the corridor and came to the innermost position of the brandy restaurant.

  Little Laura noticed, in front of the table where Abel was sitting.

   Her security team leader Marcus, and Abel's bodyguard captain Edward, are nodding at her.

  Little Laura knew it was her and Abel, who were accepting their protection.

  She gave a friendly smile to the two captains, took the hand of her female companion and walked towards Abel.

   "Hi, dear, good afternoon." Little Laura greeted happily.

  Abel smiled: "Good afternoon."

   While responding to little Laura, he looked curiously at little Laura's female companion just like Donnie.

   Seeing the figure of this Asian girl, Abel also had the same feeling as Doni just now.

   That's the body of this Asian girl, not Asian at all.

  That is no longer Xiong Da or Xiong Er.

   That's already a headlight.

   Abel and little Laura have an appointment in the morning. During the lunch break, we had lunch together outside the NYU Manhattan campus.

   Later around noon, little Laura called him and said she would bring a female friend from school.

  Of course Abel would not refuse, he came to the restaurant first and waited.

   I just didn’t expect that the female friend Laura met in school would be an Asian girl.

  He thought it would be some kind of blue-blooded lady, the daughter of the richest man in the Mayflower.

  Little Laura took the restrained Asian girl by the hand and sat down opposite Abel.

  After sitting down, she smiled and introduced her female companion to Abel.

   "This is a friend I met in school. Her name is Jessica. Oh, this is her English name. I can't pronounce the name in her mother tongue well. It's Li Xinyu?"

  The Asian girl whose English name is Jessica couldn't help correcting her aloud: "It's not Li Xinyu, Lauren, your pronunciation is wrong. It's "LiXinYu"."

   "What's the difference?" said little Laura.

   "Forget it, just call me Jessica." The Asian girl looked at Abel with a smile:

   "Mr. Smith, I'm Jessica Lee, nice to meet you, Lauren has mentioned your name many times in front of me."

  Looking at this pure and beautiful Asian girl carrying the headlights.

  Abel suddenly said in standard Mandarin Chinese:

   "Your name is Li Xinyu? Li Xinyu?"

  He blurted out natural Mandarin, which made little Laura and Jessica stunned.

  Little Laura: "Honey, what language are you speaking? It seems to be. It seems that I have heard it somewhere, but I forgot what language it is."

   "It seems to be Chinese? The language of China." Jessica said:

   "But I'm sorry, Mr. Smith, I'm not from Huaxia. I'm from Han. Sorry, I can't understand Chinese."

   "Oh, stick." Abel muttered in Chinese.

  He just thought that this Jessica was of Chinese descent, or Chinese.

   will speak and greet in Mandarin.

   I didn't expect it to be a stick, but also a very beautiful headlight.

   "Honey, you speak Chinese." Little Laura was surprised: "I didn't expect your Chinese to be so good!"

  Abel laughed and babbled:

   "I studied fine arts when I was in college. For a while, I was very obsessed with Chinese ink painting and traditional Chinese painting. I found a teacher in Huaxia and learned Chinese by the way."

  The first half of these words are true.

  Abel had really learned Chinese ink painting skills before, and also found a Chinese teacher in related fields.

   That is, when learning and teaching, the two of them actually use English.

  Unless he finds the teacher to confront him, no one will doubt what he said.

  After all, who would have thought that there would be such an outrageous thing as another soul in the body of an orthodox Mayflower Angsan?

"All right."

  Abel smiled and said:

   "Should you still have class in the afternoon? Let's eat first, and you will go back after eating."

   Both girls nodded in agreement.

   On one side, Doni, who was acting as a temporary waiter, brought the menu of the restaurant.

  The theme of this brandy restaurant is Nordic flavor, Nordic cuisine.

  Seafood and meat are served with very fresh forest ingredients.

   The restaurant was actually chosen by little Laura, and she and Jessica had already eaten here.

   While ordering, little Laura also introduced to Abel:

  “.Although it is a Nordic-style food. But the taste is not as light as expected, and I personally think it is very memorable. I like grilled cod with fresh seasonal peas the most. The taste and texture are very layered.”

  Abel nodded with a smile, "Then order me the same set as yours."

  Little Laura smiled sweetly at him.

  Two girls lowered their heads and began to order.

  Abel's eyes stayed on them for a while, and then looked out the window.

  Abel noticed that there was a Secret Service employee protecting little Laura outside, talking to two Asian men in suits.

  The eyes of the two Asian men in suits drifted towards this table from time to time.

   This made Abel frown.

  On the table in front, Edward, who had been watching his expression, noticed his eyes.

  Edward immediately looked at where Abel was looking, and then asked Marcus beside him:

   "Marcus, what's going on with the two people talking to your subordinates outside?"

  Marcus looked over, turned around and said to Edward:

   "Those two Asians are Miss Jessica's bodyguards. Her family is very powerful in Han Country, and she also has a team of bodyguard assistants."

   "Oh." Edward nodded, planning to tell Abel later.

  Abel's side, Little Laura and Jessica have already ordered meals.

  Little Laura ordered grilled cod with fresh seasonal peas, two servings, one for each of her and Abel.

   Fortunately, little Laura also knows that such a little food is not enough for Abel.

  She had seen Abel's exaggerated appetite, so she ordered a lot of Nordic-style barbecue and meat.

  Such as Swedish venison meatballs, Icelandic-style roasted leg of lamb, Nordic-style cinnamon rolls, etc.

   Jessica was surprised how little Laura would order so many, and she herself also ordered a grilled cod with fresh seasonal peas, and a creamy fish soup.

   After ordering, everyone started chatting again.

  It was mainly little Laura who was talking, Jessica would occasionally answer a few words, and Abel was responsible for listening with a smile, and occasionally asking questions.

  “.Who would have thought. Jessica looks so weak and pure, but her favorite thing is racing cars!”

   "Racing car, that's a racing car!"

  Little Laura talked and talked about her and Jessica.

   talked about how the two met and got acquainted, and finally talked about Jessica's hobbies.

   "Still talking about me" Jessica looks pure and weak, and her personality doesn't seem to be very weak.

  She also broke the news of little Laura: "You are the same. Lauren, you also like racing cars."

   "Uh" Little Laura tugged at Jessica under the table, telling her not to speak.

  But Jessica was exposed a lot by her, and now she knows that Abel in front of her is Little Laura's boyfriend again.

  She ignored little Laura's hint and continued:

  “You also said that you started driving at the age of twelve, which frightened your parents. You also said that you went to Indianapolis Motor Speedway to see F1 last year, and you also said that your dream is to drive F1.”

   "You still talk! It hurts! Let go, let go, I won't say it, I won't say it."

   "Stop it." Little Laura gritted her teeth and gave Jessica a slap in the face. The painful Jessica swallowed back the words and screamed, and then fought back not to be outdone.

  The two girls laughed for a while, and little Laura looked up at her boyfriend's eyes full of meaning, and finally stopped in embarrassment.

   Jessica also felt that this was a bit impolite, and she blushed and became quiet.

   "I've never heard of you having such a hobby."

  Abel suddenly said leisurely: "If this is the case, maybe I need to consider adding a racing track for you in Lauren's Flower?"

  Little Laura smiled mischievously, just at this time Donnie and the other waiters who played a guest role began to serve the dishes.

  Little Laura quickly said: "Ah, don't talk about this, I'm hungry. Hurry up and eat. My dear, you can taste this grilled silver cod with fresh seasonal peas. It's really delicious!"

  Abel gave her a look to settle accounts with you later, smiled and took the food she pushed over, and began to eat.
