America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 381 Christmas is coming

  The development of Elizabeth's back garden is already on the right track.

   Walking is several times better than Victoria's Secret in parallel time and space.

  The reason why we are talking about the Victoria’s Secret in parallel time and space, not the one here.

   It’s because of the Victoria’s Secret here, after rejecting Abel’s offer last year.

   Because of being targeted by Elizabeth's back garden in all directions. The joint positioning, price and customer groups, etc., are all similar to Yisha Company.

  But marketing ability... To be precise, it should be krypton gold ability, there is a world of difference between the two.

   The result is that Elizabeth's back garden has its current status, and Victoria's Secret, under the attack of Abel's 1450 Internet information company, is considered by many to be a poor imitator of Isha's company.

   It is considered to be a fake product, which is an underwear brand that copied Elizabeth's back garden.

  Even if Victoria’s Secret appeared earlier and was more famous in the past.

  In terms of financial resources and media, there is no way to compare with Isa, which is backed by Abel, and Victoria's Secret, which has been targeted and attacked, has a very difficult life.

  The previous momentum of good development has been completely shattered.

   Now it’s not to say that the vitality is seriously injured, but the way of marketing has been taken away by Yisha Company.

   Still going better than the original it, better and more outstanding case.

  If Victoria’s Secret still wants to develop. It may be necessary to have another traverser with a system in order to hope to do it well.

   As for Abel's Elizabeth back garden, because it's on track.

  In addition to the annual Christmas Eve show, Abel’s contacts need to be used to get through Times Square.

  In other aspects, excellent managers can already develop it very well.

  Michael Levine is just a normal work report.

  After he finished his report, it was Alan Baker's turn next to him.

   What Alan Baker first reported to Abel was the task that Abel gave to the Smith Intellectual Group two days ago.

  Two days ago, because Abel was in the AMC TV group, he met the Hurst sisters who came to work as temporary workers.

  He asked the Smith Intelligence Group to investigate to see what was going on with the Hearst Group.

   "...Hearst Media Group has performed poorly in the past two years."

  After Michael Levine's report was over, Allen said softly:

"Due to the impact of the emergence of the Internet, many people began to look for the news information they wanted on the Internet. There has been no transformation, and the Hearst Media Group, which does not yet have an Internet module, has sales of its magazines and newspapers. had a huge impact."

   "According to the data, the revenue of Hearst Media Group in 2000 was 10% lower than that in 1999. The revenue in 1999 was 8.9% lower than that in 1998."

   "The revenue in 1995 was 50% higher than that in 2000. The revenue in the first three quarters of this year is only 90% of the first three quarters of last year. It is obvious that this year is another poor fiscal year."

   Allen concluded: "From this perspective, the situation of Hearst Media Group is very bad."

  Abel nodded. He knew that the decline in revenue for many years in a row was a terrible thing for any company.

   It’s okay to make less money for one or two years, and it’s okay to lose money for one or two years.

  But if you earn less and less for five or six consecutive years, or lose money all the time.

   Then things are very troublesome.

   If a solution is not good, bankruptcy liquidation is really not far away.

  Even if it is a century-old giant, or a century-old company.

   "Except in this regard."

  Alan Baker added: "William Hearst's physical condition is very bad, and his brothers and sisters may have begun to fight for rights."

  William Hearst is the current chairman of the Hearst Group and the eldest grandson of William Randolph Hearst, who founded the Hearst Media Group.

   It is the third generation of the Hearst family, and Amanda and the others are the fourth generation.

   is the current core figure of the Hearst family. The key point is that he has no children, but has several cousins, and all the cousins ​​have children.

  If he has a physical problem and retires, it is impossible for other Hurst to have no idea.

  In terms of algebra, the Hearst family has been rich for three generations, so it can be called a wealthy family.

  Abel nodded again, but in fact he didn't know how many elders Amanda had, because he didn't care about it before.

  At this time, the concern is only because the Hearst family's behavior is a bit weird, so let people investigate.

   At this time, after hearing what Alan said, he was prepared in his heart, so he stopped worrying about this matter.

  But the situation of Hearst Media Group also made Abel sound the alarm.

   "The media under Smith Media, the Internet must go in front of everyone."

  Abel confessed: "You make a plan and consult with Smith Media."

  Alan Baker nodded yes.

  The discussion also ends here.

  Time continues to move forward, not accommodated by people's will, nor changed by people's ideas.

  Christmas is getting closer, and the festive atmosphere across the United States has also begun to heighten.

  As the largest city in the United States, New York almost turned into a sea of ​​red after December 20.

  Red Christmas dress, occupying the color of many stores and shopping malls.

  In New York this year, after the 19th, there has been no snow.

  Although the weather is a bit cold, it is close to the zero line.

   But this does not prevent New Yorkers from celebrating the most important festival of the year.

  On the streets, there are people wearing Christmas costumes ostentatiously crossing the street. Most of the parents bring their children, or the family walks into the major shopping malls together.

   This is the authentic Christmas that Americans have.

   In contrast, the so-called Christmas that many people in China celebrate later.

   That is to say, some women want gifts in a clever name. Some men take the opportunity to harm girls.

  Of course, the middle is mainly guided by many merchants. Who is the festival economy? It has always been a good time for businesses to make a profit.

  If you listen to the merchants, they may wish to celebrate the holidays 365 days a year.

   There is no festival to celebrate, and you can create names such as "the first cup of milk tea in autumn", "the first hot pot in winter", "the first barbecue in summer", "the first travel in spring" and so on.

  This evening, Abel was sitting in the car, and the motorcade was heading to Times Square.

  Another hour later, after it starts to get dark.

   This year's Elizabethan Christmas Eve show will start in Times Square.

  In the cabin of the Cadillac monster.

  Abel watched the lively scene along the way through the car window.

  You can see that every storefront has been hung with garlands, and the doors and windows have been newly decorated. Some of the larger stores have also made Christmas windows.

  To be honest, the atmosphere is similar to the Chinese New Year’s Eve or the day before New Year’s Eve. It’s festive, lively, and busy. Everyone, whether it’s an adult or a child, is walking on the road with big bags and small bags, with happy faces.

   And one of the annual American traditions, the Christmas shopping season starts very early.

  The price war on Black Friday brought down the integrity of the American people to the lowest point.

  In the Black Friday battle, what the **** is quality?

  Late at night, I started queuing up to wait for the mall to open the gates to release people, and then I ran all the way and started buying like crazy, just like the goods don’t cost money.

  The degree of madness, as well as the hideous expressions on those people's faces, can be directly used to shoot Resident Evil Invasion without makeup. (If you are interested, you can watch the video of the Black Friday panic buying in the United States, it is very scary to watch)

  Actually, Abel can’t figure it out. With such a scene, every year there will be stampedes in shopping malls in many places, and there will be news of personal injury incidents.

   Competing for goods, fighting and tearing behaviors can be said to be everywhere.

   As a result, in later generations, after China's economy developed, China's local tyrants began to sweep the world.

  These Westerners, however, stood at a higher angle, laughing at the army of local tyrants in the Celestial Dynasty.

   It's nothing more than envy and jealousy. After entering the 21st century, the economic downturn has caused ordinary people in the West to buy wildly during the discount season.

  The Chinese local tyrants who can go abroad lined up in a long queue to sweep away all luxury brands. It is understandable for Westerners to get tired of crookedness, and the acid water will naturally spill out. After all, eating bran-swallowed vegetables by myself and looking at delicacies from the "lower people" that I used to look down on, it seems that I have much more money than myself, so it's no wonder I don't scold my mother...

   Soon, Times Square is here.

   Now, on December 24th, Christmas Eve, a crowd of people can no longer describe the crowds near Times Square.

   Fortunately, New York is one of Abel's home games, and today the New York Police Department is out on a global scale.

  Among the police forces deployed in Manhattan, 60% went near Times Square.

   Even if the media or someone questioned it, NYPD is fully justified.

   No matter what time it is, Times Square is the busiest place in Manhattan.

   Then they sent most of the police force to the busiest place on the busiest day with the most people. What's wrong with that?

  With the help of a large number of New York police officers, the time show of Isa Company started as scheduled that night.

  That night, Mr. Cheney, the current US deputy commander, finally appeared at the VIP seat in Times Square, to the surprise of Bloomberg.

  Get this gentleman here, in front of the media.

   What Abel paid was a private promise that Smith Media would greatly assist Ms. Liz Cheney in certain activities in Wyoming.

  What's more, even if you don't consider this, the relationship between Cheney and the shrubs. Now that he was in New York again, it was difficult for him to refuse this small request from Abel.

  Plus this is the United States, let alone the deputy commander, even if the commander-in-chief shows up to watch the underwear show, it can barely be justified.

   Have fun with the people.

   So here comes Cheney.

  That night, there were also a large number of top stars in the entertainment industry who appeared in the big show.

   Like MJ and Britney Spears.

  The difference is that both of them were artists under Sony Music Group last year.

  By this year, both of them have become DreamWorks singers.

  Compared with last year, this year's Isha show model is more mature.

  Big-name singers, star dancers, backup singers, Angel Issa wearing **** underwear on the catwalk.

   Now that the audience thinks it is still very fresh, it can be said to be extremely powerful in harvesting ratings and eyeballs.

  The data presented in terms of TV ratings are much better than last year.

  Last year, the first Isa Times Square Christmas Eve show, Nielsen Data reported a global audience rating of 1.969 billion (the sum of historical data, including replays on demand), of which the US 24-hour audience rating was 23 million.

  Compared with this data, the 1998 NBA Finals with the Bulls participating had about 3 billion viewers worldwide, and about 36 million viewers in the United States.

   Last year's Isa show, it can be said that it had 2/3 of the influence of the NBA Finals.

  Because it is not so hasty this year, it has a longer time to promote, and last year's word-of-mouth blessing.

   This year's Isha show was later reported to have received explosive data of 2.8 billion viewers worldwide and 28 million viewers in the United States.

   Of course, this is incomparable to the exaggerated data that almost one-third of Americans watch the Super Bowl, which has hundreds of millions of viewers in the United States.

   After all, it was the "Spring Festival Gala" for Americans.

  If it was an underwear show, the ratings would be higher than that of the American Spring Festival Gala.

  It requires all Americans to have a serious and deep LSP, so it is estimated that there is hope.

   But these Abels don't care too much.

   After he attended the reception that ended the Isa show that day.

   Late that night, he got rid of the twenty-five mermaids who had been pestering him for days.

  Boeing 747, return to Texas from New York.

   Before dawn, the darkest hour, I returned to Smith Farm.

  Strictly speaking, it is already Christmas at this time.

  Alexander, the Sheriff of Tarrant, of course also returned home.

   On Laomei's side, on Christmas Day, even the Grand Commander will stay with his family for the holiday.

  If the commander-in-chief leaves his family behind to go to work on this day, the media may instead say that he doesn’t value his family and make the people resent him.

   It can only be said that the national conditions are different.

   It was around 4 a.m. on Christmas Day 2001 when Abel returned to Smith's Farm.

   The Alexanders, the Alexs are sleeping.

   But someone was waiting for him.

   is Charlize Theron, the mother of the Abel child. Knowing that he would come back at this time, she got up overnight to greet him.

  Late at night, at the gate of Smith Manor.

   Accompanied by two female bodyguards.

Charlize was wearing a light blue short shawl coat, which set off her excellent figure very conspicuously, and matched it with a bright yellow velvet knee-length skirt, a pair of black high boots, and her light golden hair with natural The undulating arc rests on the shoulders. Clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, and long eyelashes trembling slightly.

  Abel walked over with a smile, and hugged her directly. Her fair skin suddenly revealed a light pink, and her thin lips. His lips were caught immediately.

   It took several minutes before she was let go.

  The two of them clasped their fingers together and walked into the farm villa with white as the main color.

  Whether it is decoration or furniture, it is full of Texas farm style, but the materials used are better and the decoration technology is better, so you can tell that it is worth a lot of money.

   At midnight, Abel didn't want to disturb his parents and grandparents.

  He directly took Charlize's hand and walked towards his area in the villa.

  He is in his own home, occupying the best and largest house.

  Compared with the villa, this house is more independent.

   Has its own door, separated from the rest of the Smith Farm estate.

   In it, there are even 5 rooms that belong to him.

   In the past, there was a master bedroom and a study room, and the master bedroom slept in the study room to draw and study.

  The other rooms are vacant for storage and other functions.

   But now, in addition to the study, the other three rooms have been tidied up.

   One of them was used by Charlize, another as a nursery, and one as a guest room.

  As for Abel's master bedroom, Charlize didn't live in it, and I don't know why.

   It may be that she has an agreement with little Laura.

   After all, Charlize was originally little Laura, the first Abel woman to accept.

  Holding Charlize's hand, Abel went to the baby room first, and looked at his only child who was born so far.

  This is his first child and also his eldest daughter, even if it is an illegitimate daughter, he still takes it seriously.

  In some places in China, there is a saying that the first child is gold, the second child is silver, the third child is iron, and the fourth child is grass.

   It is said that the eldest son/daughter is often the most favored.

  Europeans and Americans are actually the same. This can be seen from the fact that their elites are basically inherited by the eldest son.

  The child is in the baby room, and there are two nannies in the baby room to take care of her, and they just rest in it. There are more than two people in the baby room 24 hours a day, taking care of little Alia.

  The host and hostess appeared, and the two nannies woke up, standing beside them and watching them cautiously.

  Before the baby was in bed, Charlize said softly: "I just fed my nai, and I can sleep for about two hours, and then I'm hungry again. Then they will carry her over to me to feed her nai."

  Abel looked deeply at the little baby in the baby bed.

   The little one is one month old.

   is very small, with a round face, red, and sleeps very sweetly.

  Two eyes are tightly closed, like two lines; two eyebrows are like two curved crescent moons, and the mouth is crookedly smiling. I don't know what good things I dreamed of.

   "She is so beautiful."

  Maybe it really fits the sentence-children are good for one’s own family, while wives are beautiful for other people’s family.

   For little Alia, Abel liked it more and more.

  In the outline of her small face, he felt that he saw his own appearance.

   Obviously, his eldest daughter looks more like his father in terms of appearance.

   But it doesn't matter, he thinks that whether little Alia looks like himself or her mother, she will definitely not be ugly.

   After looking at his daughter for a while, Abel pulled Charlize, who had gentle eyes like water, left the room and walked towards the stairs leading to the master bedroom on the second floor.

  The master bedroom is easy to find. The one near the outer wall, when you open the door, there is a big Simmons about 2.5 meters long and 3.5 to 4 meters wide in the bedroom.

  The chuang head is wrapped in tan leather, and the bed sheet and quilt are pure white.

   These have all been replaced, it wasn't like this before.

   It was the big Simmons who had been replaced when Abel came back last year.

  He was thinking simply because Spider-Man Parker said—

   "The bigger Simmons, the more girls!"

  The result of making such a special large Simmons is that the aisle between the wall and the wall is only about 1.5 meters.

   Don't look at this oversized big Simmons.

   The space layout in the room, it is the traditional southern style as always.

  Furniture is lined up one by one. There are separate balconies, and the entire part of the outer wall is a balcony, but there are special glass walls to separate them. You can see the outside from the inside, but you can’t see the inside from the outside.

  A set of wide, narrow and long fabric sofas are placed on the balcony outside.

  You can sit on it and enjoy all the scenery under the mountain, and the lake in the distance is sparkling under the light of the lake.

   Entering the master bedroom, closing the door, Abel turned around and saw Charlize looking at him with watery eyes.

   "You can?"

  He remembered that after a woman gave birth, it seemed to take a while before anything could happen.

   "I checked. Because it was a normal delivery, coupled with the best conditioning and nursing, the recovery is very, very good."

   "The doctors all said that there is no problem."

   Then there is nothing to say, after all, it has been a month.

   There is also the endorsement of the best medical team invited from Houston.

  Abel directly pulled Charlize in front of him.

  Charlize began to be unshackled.

  The light blue short shawl coat slipped on the carpet.

   Then came the bright yellow velvet knee-length skirt, and then…

   In the middle, little Alia was brought over. The little baby was hungry and wanted to eat.

   But her food reserves were all eaten up by her father.

  She had no choice but to feel wronged and had a meal of milk powder.

   Soon morning comes and Christmas comes.

  With the arrival of Christmas, the farm is no longer busy in the usual morning, but a few cows and dogs can still be heard.

  Smith Farm Villa, independent from Abel's master bedroom in a corner.

  The balcony partition glass wall with slightly open gaps, from time to time a cool breeze blows in, and a pair of Isa's custom-made stockings are thrown by the wall.

  On the soft wool carpet, some clothes and used tissues were thrown on the floor, which had obviously undergone indescribable treatment.

  The customized Super Simmons shuddered.

  Following Charlize, she uttered her last wail.

  The sound that lasted for a long time finally came to an end.

   In the bedroom, finally fell into peace.
