America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 333 is playing with heartbeat and stimulation

  The sea breeze blew towards the villa in gusts, and the waves hit the reef not far away, splashing white water.

  It rushed to the shore, gently stroking the soft sand.

  The waves are layer by layer, swaying lightly from a distance, outlining a white "skirt" on the beach.

  The wind has the rhythm of the wind, and the waves have the rhythm of the waves.

  Paris. She has her rhythm.

  California, Santa Barbara.

  In the villa at No. 73, Maria Bay Avenue.

   There was a rhythmic sound in a room, which finally died down.

  It was replaced by the rustling sound of dressing.

   After a while, Paris' slightly hoarse voice sounded—

   "You're in it again! There are still so many, aren't you afraid that I'm pregnant?!"

   "I don't take medicine!"

  The man's thick voice followed suit, "If you don't take the medicine, you will die."

   "Asshole! I'm only twenty years old!"

   "Ikana is also twenty years old. She has been pregnant for almost two months, and she is still twins. Well, how about you having children in the same year?"

   "Fuck you!"

   A few more seconds passed.

  Paris poked out of the door with a slightly flushed, charming and affectionate face.

  At the door, she saw the female bodyguard not far away.

  Paris sneaked out of the room cautiously and walked outside quickly.

   Looking at it from a distance, she looked weak when she walked.

  Those who don’t know, thought she was exercising too much just now.

   After a while, Abel, who was dressed casually, came out from inside.

  He nodded towards the female bodyguard, in fact, his female bodyguard captain Donnie.

  Just now he was stealing fragrance inside, and Doni was in charge of guarding outside.

   Today is already November 1st.

  Eleven days had passed since he came to the West Coast from Texas.

  During this time, Abel mainly lived here in Ikana.

  He will go out to work most of the day and come back at night, or sometimes not come back.

  Occasionally stay here during the day to accompany Ikana who is pregnant.

  Like today, he didn't go out. Not long after he got up in the morning, he grabbed Paris and entered this room.

   It's almost eleven o'clock now.

   After two or three hours, Paris was naturally exhausted.

   Having said that, Abel is no longer afraid that Ikana will find out that he ate her best friend.

   Based on the idea that the boat will be straight when it reaches the bridge, even Ikana knows it.

  Abel felt that she was unhappy for a few days at most.

  The Smith family office has not been established for a long time. When she signed it, Paris said that she did not hesitate at all.

  But Paris insisted not to let Ikana find out, "At least don't let her know now. She still has your child in her stomach!"

   She said so and did so.

  Under her insistence, the relationship between the two in front of Ikana has not yet been exposed.

   But in this way, Abel felt quite

  Under the eyes of my pregnant girlfriend, secretly with her best friend.

   In every corner of her house, even in her room, bedroom, with Ikana's best friend.

   To be honest, Abel found it very exciting.

  There is a different kind of role-playing, or the feeling of subduing temptation.

  Abel felt that Paris probably did it on purpose. Deliberately insisting that this relationship not be known to Ikana

  If Ikana knew about it, this relationship would be lost.

  The feeling of XX in front of the very interesting "best friend" is missing.

  Abel had to admit that this Paris just knew how to play.

  Even if it is the innocent version of her, only Liv Tyler can compare her tricks in this regard.

  Wait for Paris to go first.

  Abel deliberately lagged behind Paris for a long time, and only after she left for a long time did he walk to the stairs leading to the living room on the first floor.

  In the large living room on the first floor.

  Paris was talking to Ikana, who had just woken up, next to the TV that was on.

   "I think the 23rd store can be opened. Just choose Chicago, even there. Hey, dear, didn't you go out today?"

   While Ikana was talking, she looked up and saw Abel who was going down on the second floor.

   "Yes. Didn't go out this morning."

  Abel smiled and raised the phone in his hand, "I just made a call. You're up, dear."

   "Yeah." Ikana smiled happily, and walked towards Abel with a "duangduang" bouncy figure.

  Every step you take, the good figure hidden in the loose robe is against the strong gravity.

  The young and vigorous body allowed Ikana to easily win this confrontation.

   Ikana walked over and hugged Abel.

  She seems to be melting into her boyfriend's arms intimately, but her small nose is trying to sniff at an angle that Abel can't see.

  The smell of shower gel, I just took a shower.

  Paris too, she smells fresh from the shower too.

   Ted Lerner's daughter, thinking calmly.

  Abel hugged her, and the two came to the sofa in the living room and sat down.

  Not far away is Paris lazily eating a banana.

   is actually eating bananas, the fruit, the kind that comes off the banana tree.

   "I'm talking to Paris about YKM opening a new store."

  Ikana turned her back to Paris and didn't see herself talking to her boyfriend.

  Her best friend Paris, who was eating bananas, started winking provocatively at her boyfriend.

  Still sticking out, eating peeled bananas, looks extremely charming.

  Abel is sure that Paris did it on purpose.

   This chick loves playing tricks on herself just like Liv Tyler!

   Play is all about the heartbeat and thrills!

   "I heard it just now. Will the new store be opened in Chicago? That's still possible. I remember that you have opened in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York, and Miami. Now it is logical to develop in Chicago."

  Ikana's beautiful big eyes were looking at her, and it was difficult for Abel to make special expressions and strange behaviors.

  With him like this, Paris on the opposite side felt even more unscrupulous, and the expression on her face was provoking him.

   I have to say it is very exciting, especially now that Ikana has not discovered the relationship between the two.

   tickles Abel.

   "Paris thinks so too."

  Ikana turned around, the moment she turned around.

  The coquettish expression on Paris's face instantly returned to normal.

  This acting, Abel thinks she can go to Hollywood to try it out.

   "Is that right?" Ikana turned around and greeted her best friend.

   "Yes." Miss Paris Hilton said softly with a serious face:

  “Although there are more and more blacks in Chicago now, there are also some customers with purchasing power among the blacks. Black women also wear beautiful clothes! Chicago’s status is there, of course we can’t let this place go.”

   "Look. I agree with her."

  Ikana turned around again and looked at her boyfriend.

  The result is that Paris behind her, with her beautiful and delicate face, has a serious expression and more small movements.

  If it weren't for Ikana, Abel felt that he would be here now, and punish this chick on the spot!

   "Okay. I'm a little hungry, let's go have lunch. After lunch, I have to go out in the afternoon."

  Abel felt he couldn't stay here any longer.

  He had to admit, Ikana's best friend.

   Indeed, Paris has added a lot of temptation to herself.

   When Ikana was right in front of her eyes, this temptation was even stronger.

   "Oh, fine," Ikana said, "Then I'll get someone to prepare lunch."

"Ok."

   This lunch was warm and a little ambiguous.

  The warmth comes from Ikana who became more and more obsessed after pregnancy.

  The little ambiguity comes from Paris, who keeps making small moves.

   After lunch, Abel left 73 Maria Beach Boulevard, Santa Barbara.

  He boarded a helicopter and set off for San Diego.

  The driving distance between these two Bay Area cities is about 350 kilometers.

  It will take three or four hours by car.

  If you take a helicopter, it only takes about an hour from take-off to landing.

  There is no doubt that the helicopter is really much faster in terms of speed for this kind of short-distance travel.

  As for the question of saying that the risk of helicopter travel is relatively high, Abel also has his own considerations.

  According to last year's data, there are about 5 accidents for every 100,000 helicopter flight hours in the United States.

   This data is five times that of ordinary civil aviation.

   In other words, taking a helicopter is five times more risky than flying.

   But the data show that these helicopters fly in accidents.

   95% of them occur in bad weather, such as rain, snow, and foggy weather.

   Just avoid using helicopters in bad weather.

  The risk of helicopter travel, which is five times more dangerous than that of civil aviation, can be reduced to almost the same as that of land transportation.

   In that way, Abel felt that it was a mode of transportation that could be chosen.

  Around two o'clock in the afternoon.

  Abel appeared in the suburbs of San Diego, outside the headquarters building of Qualcomm.

   This is Abel's second visit here.

  The last time he came here, he was just a passerby.

   is a relatively high-status, very rich passer-by who was invited to visit.

  He came here this time, he has become the company's—

   "Chairman, good afternoon."

   "Good afternoon, Chairman!"

   "Good afternoon, Chairman."

  “.”

  In the Qualcomm headquarters building.

  Abel, who came in through the gate, smiled and nodded to all the employees who greeted him.

  He became the chairman of Qualcomm at the end of this month.

   After 9/11, the U.S. stock market plummeted.

   Abel, who came out to rescue the market, besides reaping unparalleled financial influence and fame in the United States now.

   What he gained was also the identity of shareholders of more than 200 listed companies in the United States.

   One of them is Qualcomm.

   And after that, he increased his stake in Qualcomm from about 10% to 55% at the end of October.

  He officially became the largest shareholder of the communication company, and later became the chairman of the company as a matter of course.

  The Nasdaq stock market crash, and the blessing of the September 11 crash.

   In another five years, the market value will exceed Qualcomm, which is worth US$40 billion.

  The current 55% of the shares cost him less than two billion dollars in cash.

   For his entry, Qualcomm has been in a difficult period for several years.

  Whether it is the founder Erwin Jacobs, employees, or shareholders.

   Mostly showed great welcome.

  The world's richest man enters the market, so is the company afraid of lack of funds in the future?

  At this time, Erwin Jacobs and the shareholders did not know that a new era was coming.

  In this new era, Qualcomm will still be one of the most important navigators.

  At this time, they all thought that Qualcomm was a cesspit.

  Since it is a cesspit, the richest man in the world is willing to jump in and share weal and woe with everyone, so they are naturally happy.

   I just don’t know if they will still be happy when they think of the current decision in a few years.

  Qualcomm Building.

  Abel came to the patent wall facing the hall again, and he was still shocked by it.

   This prestigious patent wall bears the glory of Qualcomm's focus on R&D and innovation, and this is only a small part of Qualcomm's patents.

  This patent wall is a carrier for Qualcomm to demonstrate its recognition of employee innovation and its emphasis on technology research and development.

   After all, technology is hard to see and intangible.

  The recognition of patent rights is undoubtedly the best compliment to Qualcomm, where more than 80% of its employees are technical engineers.

  Abel carefully looked at each patent certificate, the name of the patent written, the path to realize the technical solution, the time of applying for and obtaining the patent right, the names of the personnel involved in the research and development, etc.

   For Qualcomm, this is their hard work.

   For Abel, it's all about money.

  As long as you have these, even if you don’t do anything and lie down every day, you can get more than one billion dollars in a year.

  Everyone hates patent trolls, but everyone wants to be a patent troll.

  As with capitalists, so with patent trolls.

   "Good afternoon, Mr. Smith."

  An old man's voice sounded beside Abel.

  Abel moved his gaze away from Qualcomm's patent wall.

  The founder of Qualcomm, the original chairman and CEO of Qualcomm, and the current CEO Irwin Jacobs, stood beside him.

   "Good afternoon, Owen." Abel smiled and pointed to the patent wall, he said:

  “Seeing this wall, I feel the greatness of technology and the greatness of Qualcomm.”

  Owen Jacob was a little reserved, bowed and nodded to him: "Thank you for your approval, Mr. Smith~"

   This patent wall is also the pride of Irving Jacob, the father of CDMA.

  Their foundations are all based on the communication technology of CDMA.

   And it was the R&D personnel headed by Owen Jacob who developed the CDMA technology and promoted it to the world.

   "Let's go. How about we go up to your office and talk?"

  Abel said to Owen Jacob.

   "No problem, Mr. Smith, this way please." Owen Jacob had a good impression of Abel at this time.

  If this is changed to a few years later, if Abel acquires Qualcomm again, it will not be like this.

  Because at that time Qualcomm was out of the cesspit, it became a gold mine that produced gold.

  Everyone wants to stay away from the cesspit, and everyone wants to own the gold mine, or even monopolize it.

  If you go to grab the cesspit, no one will **** it from you, and they will think you are stupid.

   If you want to grab other people's gold mines, then everyone will choose to fight with you.

   Accompanied by Owen Jacobs, the group arrived at the elevator hall.

   "Good afternoon, Chairman. CEO."

   "Good afternoon, Chairman and Mr. Jacob."

  “.”

  The Qualcomm employees who were waiting for the elevator saw Abel Smith and Owen Jacobs approaching surrounded by bodyguards, and hurriedly greeted them.

  Abel smiled and nodded one by one.

   After the special elevator door opened, Abel took Owen Jacob and the bodyguards into the elevator.

   It wasn't until the elevator doors closed that the Qualcomm employees waiting for the elevator started chattering.

   Everyone at Qualcomm is very clear about what their company has encountered in the past two months.

  For Abe Smith, the young richest man in the world, they have different opinions.

  Abe Smith's road to rise is a legend in the United States and even the world.

  In the minds of young people, Abel Smith has replaced Bill Gates and Buffett, and has become their new idol of the American Dream!

  Before, during the gazing time when Abel stood in front of the patent wall, many Qualcomm employees saw that scene in the hall where people came and went.

  Many people feel that they are honored and proud to be able to shock the legendary figure of Abel Smith.

   It is also for this reason that ordinary and middle-level employees of Qualcomm generally have a good impression of Abel's stay.

   This is mainly in recent years, Qualcomm's life is too hard.

  The annual loss is so serious, and the investment in scientific research is still so much.

  Many employees are worried, afraid that it will go bankrupt and go bankrupt if they are not careful.

  In that case, the prospects of communication professionals like them will be very bad.

  Because even an industry giant and leader like Qualcomm can go bankrupt, doesn't that mean that the mobile communication industry has no future? Other smaller companies will only be more troublesome and dangerous.

  In this era when there are no competitors, no one in the industry wants Qualcomm to rush to the street.

   What's more, the employees in the company don't want to lose their jobs, so they naturally hope that the company can continue to develop for a long time.

   This kind of worry has always been there before.

   It finally disappeared completely until now, only because Abel Smith became the chairman of this company!

  Americans know that every time Abel Smith acquires a company, he usually does only two things right away.

  One is to increase wages, which is generally a 5%-10% increase in wages for all employees.

  This makes ordinary employees or middle-level employees of all companies in the United States want the richest man in the world to buy the company they work for.

  The second thing is capital injection.

  Others who acquire a company are eager to get back the acquisition cost immediately on the successfully acquired company.

  The acquired company is squeezed as much as it can, which makes the acquired company very nervous.

   Some go too far, even borrowing money to buy companies. After the company is successfully acquired, the acquired company is allowed to repay its debts.

   And every time Abel Smith acquires a new company, he will almost always re-inject a large amount of capital after the acquisition is successful.

  This makes every company that Abel acquires, immediately after he takes over, a strong competitor in the industry.

   After all, in the commercial field, more money injected means that the company will have more power.

  In this real world, money often means power.

   About two hours later.

  The 2,000 employees in the entire Qualcomm headquarters got the good news they most wanted to hear.

   That is a salary increase! Administrative personnel increased by 5%, scientific research personnel increased by 10%!

   In addition, chairman Abel Smith will inject 500 million US dollars.

  If other shareholders do not match the capital injection, Abe Smith's shares in Qualcomm will exceed 55%.

  Obviously, other shareholders will most likely not join him in injecting capital.

  Since it's a cesspit, it's too late to get out. How could it be possible to throw money into it?

   This allowed Abel's shares to increase from 55% to 70% after the capital injection was completed.

  If he chooses to delist at this time, no one can stop him except the U.S. Department of Commerce.
