America’s Road To Wealth

Vol 2 Chapter 260: Ripples in the City of Angels

  Chapter 260 Waves of the City of Angels

   June 11.

   In the afternoon, the schedule of the 2001 F1 American Grand Prix came to an end.

  The winner of this year's F1 Formula One car in the United States is Hakkinen of the McLaren team, and he is also a top racer.

   Schumacher, the only one Abel knew and who already had a car king, only took second place.

   As for Abel's two teams.

  Firstly, there are no excellent racers, and secondly, the racing car itself and other supporting facilities cannot keep up.

  Abe’s acquisition time is too short, and he hasn’t had time to carry out rectification and krypton gold.

   This time I came to accompany you to run.

  The game is over.

   Li Xinyu and little Laura will naturally go back to New York to study.

  The two of them invited for almost a week this time, and it would be impossible not to go back.

  Abel did not return to New York with them.

  He's going to Los Angeles.

  According to the original plan, Li Fuzhen also went to New York with her sister.

  Li Fuzhen came to the United States this time to cultivate herself, and to accompany her sisters by the way.

   She has two younger sisters in New York. Li Xinyu is the youngest, with a second older sister on top.

   Another younger sister of Li Fuzhen is studying at the Pass Institute of Fashion Design in New York.

  But Li Fuzhen called home.

   Not long after that, Li Xinyu received news from her family. The family told Li Xinyu that Li Fuzhen, the eldest sister, had a mission and could not accompany her back to New York.

   Li Xinyu didn't think too much about it. Under Abel's arrangement, she and little Laura got on another second-hand Gulfstream G400 of Abel and were sent back to New York.

  As soon as they boarded the plane, Abel also took Li Fuzhen into his arms and boarded another Gulfstream G400.

   These two Gulfstreams are free replacement aircraft provided by Gulfstream Aerospace Corporation to Abel.

   After the two more advanced Gulfstream G450s that Abe ordered from Gulfstream leave the factory, they will be returned.

   Of course, during Abel's own use.

   The maintenance and expenses of the aircraft must naturally be paid by Abel himself.

  Gulfstream g400, inside the big soft sofa inside the plane.

  Abel hugged Li Fuzhen, who was feeding him grapes.

   is serious eating grapes, not that kind of eating grapes.

  Although he eats grapes like that, Abel has not eaten less these two days.

   "Samsung Group accounts for 20% of Han country's total GDP, but your family holds less than 2% of the shares."

  “Among the common stocks, foreign investors accounted for 57.1%.”

  Abel looked at Li Fuzhen, and while eating grapes, he smiled lightly and said:

   "Your family is working for foreigners, especially Wall Street."

  Among the 57.1% shares held by foreigners in the Samsung Group, more than 80% of the shares are held by US investment institutions.

  Especially Wall Street, like Citigroup, **** and other financial institutions, each of them holds a high proportion.

  The shareholding ratio of domestic institutional investors in Han country is only 19%.

  The shareholding structure of preferred shares that can give priority to money distribution is even more exaggerated.

  89% of the preferred shares are held by foreign investors, and only 10.2% of the preferred shares are held by domestic investors and major shareholders.

  This means that Samsung Group makes money, if it wants to share dividends.

   Those who can get dividends first, nearly 90% of the shares are foreigners.

  Simply put, the Samsung Group has made money, and it must first distribute it to foreigners, which is close to 90%.

  After this part of the money is distributed, it will be the turn of the common stock Han Guo investors and the Li family.

  Of course Li Fuzhen knew about all these situations.

   But even her father resigned to his fate.

  She is a marginal person in a family of marginal people, what can she do about it?

   What's more, the Li family can't make much money, but they can also rely on the huge influence of the Samsung Group.

   Domineering in the country of Han, the enjoyment is also not left behind.

   It can be said that he is luckier than 99.99999% of Han people.

   "After all, if I didn't choose that way at the time." Li Fuzhen said: "Samsung Group may have gone bankrupt long ago."

  Li Fuzhen is talking about the financial crisis in Han country in 1997.

  The situation at the time forced it.

  All the big companies in Han country are captured by Wall Street.

  The local chaebols who dominate the peninsula have only the management and control rights of the company, as well as the local influence on Han.

   "Tell me." Abel stretched out his hand, stroking Li Fuzhen's beautiful face, "With my support, what will you do when you return to Han Country?"

   "It depends on what capacity I am returning to Han Kingdom."

  Li Fuzhen was very organized, and when his fingers passed by her mouth, her winking eyes were swallowed like silk.

   "Is it identity?"

  Abel enjoys her sincere service, "The major shareholder of Wall Street, and an independent director on the board of directors of Samsung Group. How is this status?"

   "It couldn't be better." Li Fuzhen released his fingers and said softly:

"If that's the case, I'll first be in the Samsung group and observe it carefully for a month or two. After I find out the outstanding points, I'll ask for some real power in the name of a director, such as becoming the controller of an important subsidiary. "

   "My father's control and penetration of Samsung Group, even Wall Street can't do anything. I can only invade step by step like this."

  Li Fuzhen's plan, Abel nodded slightly.

   It is mainly the Li family, or the Han people are too obedient.

  Unless Abel can completely say what he says on Wall Street.

  Otherwise, it will be the same to the outside world if Li Fuzhen comes to power or her old father continues to serve.

  Because from the beginning to the end, those so-called big chaebols and big companies in the country are just American companies in the skin of the country.

  90% of the profits they earn flow to the European and American world, most of which are owned by Wall Street.

  The rest of the 10% are not natives of Han.

  Many of them will be used as the company's own funds and R&D expenditures.

  The chaebols who dominate the peninsula are just wage earners on Wall Street.

   "That's how it is." Abel thought for a while, and then said:

  “I will continue to acquire some shares of Samsung Electronics and other companies. After more than 5%, you can go back.”

  In 2001, the Samsung Group was already in the embryonic form of a technology giant, but fortunately it was not as powerful as it will be later.

   At this time, the Samsung Group, their stocks are easy to buy on the Wall Street market.

   Wait until around 2010, when the mobile Internet starts to go online.

  The status of the Samsung Group became more and more important. At that time, its profit value and market value also skyrocketed.

   At that time, it became the treasure of Wall Street.

   At that time, it was not so easy to buy a large amount of shares in Samsung Electronics.

  This kind of company that pays dividends twice a year, with tens of billions of dollars each time, can only be done by Samsung, which has the right to operate.

  Like Apple, which earns so much money, it pays a dividend of less than one dollar a year.

  Samsung Group in the same period did not make more than half of the profit of Apple.

  But Samsung's annual dividends pay out dividends, which is worth more than Apple for more than ten years.

   Among other things, buy a large number of Samsung shares and leave them alone. The annual dividend alone is a huge number.

  From Indianapolis to Los Angeles, usually about four and a half hours.

  Abel’s Gulfstream G400 took off at around 5:00 p.m., and it was already past 9:00 p.m. when he arrived in Los Angeles.

  During this time period, night has already fallen, and the City of Angels is as brightly lit as ever.

  Although there is no row upon row of high-rise buildings in New York, the lights on Beverly Hills still announce the prosperity of the city.

  In the middle of the convoy heading to Beverly Hills, in the back of a low-key modified Cadillac Escalade.

  The raised partition blocks the view of the cab. The enhanced sound insulation material prevents the outside world from capturing even the slightest sound from the rear compartment.

  Only the stable chassis of the vehicle, because of some strong shock movements, caused slight vibration ups and downs.

   Foreshadows the intense and unsettled battle situation in the rear.

  With the excited gasp, it gradually becomes lower.

   After modifying the rear compartment of Cadillac Escalade, it finally became completely quiet.

   A few minutes later, the sound of getting dressed was heard again.

  Perhaps because it was too intense before, the tailor-made high-end suit was crumpled.

  The latest Chanel dress is also in danger of falling apart.

   "The next time I fly with you, I must change to a bigger plane."

   While arranging his clothes, Abel sized up Li Fuzhen, who was half covered with clothes, with satisfied eyes.

  Gulfstream g400 is actually not very big, how big can a plane that can only carry 16 passengers at most.

  Generally speaking, unless specially designed, there will be no separate rooms on this small and medium business jet.

  Some don’t even have independent beds, at most they are just a big sofa.

  The Gulfstream g400 provided by Gulfstream Aerospace to Abel is this popular model.

   Want to have a private bedroom on the plane, maybe even have a bathroom bathtub, and even run around with a car in it.

   Then you must use a large aircraft, such as Abel's Boeing 747, which can do all the above.

  Unfortunately, in order not to attract attention at the time, Abel took the Gulfstream G400 to the DC District first, and then flew from the DC District to Indianapolis.

  He also didn't use his Boeing 747.

   "I'm so tired~ The space here is too narrow." Li Fuzhen's voice was hoarse after XX.

   There is an indescribable sense of temptation.

  After wiping off the things that had to be left on the face because of forgetting to do some measures.

  In the rear compartment of the Cadillac, in front of a custom-made vanity mirror specially prepared for female passengers, Li Fuzhen reattached the suspenders of the dress casually while checking her makeup.

"I've seen the news." Li Fuzhen's eyebrows were shining, her eyes were charming and gentle, and her voice was slightly hoarse, "It's news from the United States. It seems that my dear, you have a big plane? It seems to be a Boeing 747. In our country, there is There are not many private jets."

  The Li family has none.

  Senior wage earners, what kind of private jet do you want?

   Fortunately, the peninsula chaebols can use another way to travel. Without private jets, they can occupy the airline's flights.

   Carefully observe the bullying incidents that appeared on the news by the rich second generations of the peninsula chaebols.

  It can be surprisingly found that many of them happened on the flights of Asiana Airlines, Dahan Air and other airlines.

  After getting dressed, Li Fuzhen lowered the curtain of the car window on the side she was on, and she looked out the window.

  Li Fuzhen found that the vehicle was already driving halfway up the mountain.

  Condescending, you can see the Beverly Hills luxury villas in the middle of the mountain.

   There is also the brilliant night view of Los Angeles in the distance.

   Of course Li Fuzhen has been to Beverly Hills and lived in a mansion in Beverly Hills.

  Even if it is a senior worker, it is not comparable to ordinary people.

  She recognized Beverly Hills in front of her at a glance, and knew that Abel had taken her to a certain villa.

   In fact, it is true.

  The motorcade came to Beverly, 9425 Sunset Blvd.

   This is a luxury house hoarded by New Start Real Estate Company in Los Angeles.

   Such a mansion, in Beverly Hills, the new start company has stockpiled more than 20.

   It cost Abel about 300 million U.S. dollars.

  But in just over three months, the appreciation of these two dozen houses alone has made New Start Real Estate a profit of 15%.

  After the new leader came to power, the United States has started economic easing policies, and a large amount of dollars have poured into the market. The U.S. real estate industry has risen accordingly, and the U.S. real estate bull market has already made great strides.

  At this time, of course New Start Real Estate will not sell the house.

  Real estates will continue to rise in the future. If you hold these houses in your hands and sell them in four or five years, you can earn at least ten times.

   Of course, in order to save money, earn some money to pay land taxes.

   After obtaining the consent of Abel, the new starting point real estate.

  It rents out some of the more than two dozen Beverly mansions that are relatively small in size and relatively low in price.

   Use the rent earned to subsidize the exaggerated land tax.

  Those beautiful mansions with better locations, larger areas, or well-built buildings will of course not be rented out.

  They are the golden houses that Abel placed in Beverly Hills.

  It can be used as a temporary residence when necessary. Of course, it can also be used to hide the charm.

  Like this mansion on Sunset Boulevard, it is one of the relatively large houses with a good location.

   This home sits on 1.14 acres and has 9 bedrooms, 14 and a half bathrooms.

  The spacious main room is equipped with two independent reception living rooms. There is a tennis court in the south of the villa, a home theater with a surround sound system, which can accommodate 15 people to sit and watch movies and four other viewing areas.

   There is also a well-equipped fitness center, bar, and staff quarters.

  When the new starting point real estate was purchased at the end of last year, its value was only 20 million US dollars.

   Half a year later, it has been worth at least 25 million US dollars.

  The prices of high-end real estate in the United States during the golden age of the real estate bubble were so exaggerated.

  Li Fuzhen got off the car and stepped into the courtyard of the villa.

  The air in the courtyard is fresh, and the flowers are full of fragrance. Under the elegant and unique pergola, she feels that reading there during the day will definitely be a good enjoyment.

   Li Fuzhen fell in love with this villa just at the first sight.

  She felt that living here would be very comfortable.

  The villa has a spacious and beautiful outdoor swimming pool, just next to the outdoor tennis court.

  At night, the swimming pool lights are fully turned on, and the light ripples in the blue pool, which is very dreamy.

  The climate in the City of Angels at the end of June is very comfortable, even at this late hour it is neither too hot nor too cold.

  Abel suggested: "How about our swimming? I think this pool is very beautiful."

  Li Fuzhen felt the same way, she agreed in her heart, but said, "I didn't bring a swimsuit."

   "It's just the two of us swimming, what swimsuit do we need? I'll ask all the staff to stay away."

  Actually, it only takes half an hour at most for the rock security staff in the villa to deliver a swimsuit that fits Li Fuzhen.

  It's just that Abel wanted to be here and continue to enjoy this cold and cool young lady of the Li family, Han Guo's superb wealth and wealth.

   Watching a naked mermaid swim in the swimming pool is also a pleasure.

  Li Fuzhen understood what he meant, and cast a charming glance at him, fully grasping the charm of a mature woman.

   Soon, in half an hour.

  In the outdoor pool at 9425 Sunset Boulevard, Beverly Hills.

  Following Li Fuzhen's muffled snort, the beautiful warm water in the pool under the lights began to ripple, and the waves circled and circled from the center to the outside, knocking against the walls of the pool continuously.

   In the clear night of Beverly Hills, it looks extraordinarily clear and charming.

  The next day, Li Fuzhen was like other women.

  The biological clock was completely disrupted by someone, and the body was exhausted and could not wake up.

  Abel wakes up at seven o'clock under the punctual work and rest in the creature.

   Able woke up and patted Li Fuzhen, who hummed a few words in Korean that Abel couldn't understand.

   ".."

   ""

  Abel couldn't understand either, so he smiled and casually covered the air conditioner next to her.

   Then get up, wash up, and go out to have breakfast in the sunny restaurant next to the living room.

   After breakfast, I came to the courtyard by the pool.

  Two burly Rottweilers are already waiting for him.

   This is Abel's Dreamworks and Marvel.

  After seeing Abel, they were very excited, and ran to him, jumping and jumping, very happy.

   These two Rottweilers originally flew around with Abel.

   Later, the dog trainer said that this is not conducive to their stable character. During their stable character period, it is better to use a fixed environment to let their character settle down.

   Abel believed in experts in this regard, so he let the two puppies stay in Los Angeles for training.

   Another two months passed.

  Their personality stabilization period has passed, and their personalities have stabilized.

   At this time, I am not afraid to fly around with them again.

   "Hahaha~"

   "Dreamworks, Marvel. Come on, let's go swimming."

   Holding a dog in one hand, Abel took them to the pool, laughed and pushed them all down.

   In the morning of Los Angeles after eight o'clock, after the sun rose, it was not cold at all.

  Abel also took off his clothes and jumped into the pool.

  He played with the two puppies for a while.

  Edward, wearing sunglasses, walked to the pool.

   "BOSS. Your Harvey Weinstein is here." Edward said.

   "Oh?" Abel said casually, "Then let him in."

  Edward sent someone to pass the message.

   After a while, Harvey Weinstein, a fat man with serious dark circles, came to the pool.

  The fat man saw Abel swimming in the pool, but he didn't dare to speak, so he stood by the pool and smiled.

  Abel continued to play with the two dogs as if he hadn't seen Harvey Weinstein.

  He has amazing physical strength, exhausted playing with the two dogs in the swimming pool, and lay on the edge of the swimming pool with his tongue out.

  Abel still felt that he had just warmed up.

   And it has been almost half an hour.

  Harvey Weinstein was next to him, and he also basked in the sun for almost half an hour, sweating all over his body and head.
