America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 388 It depends on the owner to beat a mouse

   Another two days passed in the blink of an eye, at Ikana and Paris's place.

  Abel stayed for 5 days in total. He couldn't stand it anymore.

  Two charming beauties who are even more **** after pregnancy are in front of them.

   Can be eaten, but not completely eaten.

  For Abel, who has a body of this level, it is really uncomfortable.

   Being able to stay for 5 days is all because he can have a snack, and because of his affection and attention to them.

   On January 8th, Abel finally left Santa Barbara.

  San Diego, Qualcomm headquarters.

  Irwin Jacobs and his son, Paul Jacobs.

  Father and son are accompanying Qualcomm Chairman Abel Smith, passing through the low buildings of Qualcomm headquarters.

  Qualcomm headquarters is located on the outskirts of San Diego, consisting of 11 buildings.

   It seems that Qualcomm has many buildings and is very strong.

   But let’s not talk about these buildings, they are all in the suburbs, and the land is not worth much at all.

   Just from these buildings, most of which are low-rise buildings with 6 to 7 floors, we know that Qualcomm really lived a normal life before.

  The various scientific research departments of Qualcomm, their offices and research sites are located in these relatively low-rise buildings.

  The tallest eleven-story building serves as the company's facade and administrative headquarters.

  The blue wall, which symbolizes Qualcomm's scientific research strength, is in that building.

  “The market is picking up. The George administration has used many measures to rescue the market.”

  Abel admired a flower bush on the side of the road, and spoke to Owen Jacob and his son.

   "More importantly, Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile, they have successively laid 3G signal stations. There is no doubt that the era of mobile communication revolution is coming."

   "I believe that by then. We, Qualcomm, will occupy a vital position in the new era."

  Abel patted Erwin Jacobs lightly, then patted his son Paul Jacobs.

   Laughing as a gesture of encouragement, as if he is the master here.

  Paul Jacob, who was patted on the shoulder by him, is not young, already 40 years old.

  Paul joined Qualcomm after receiving his doctorate in 1989, starting from the initial technical research and development personnel.

   Now in a high position, he is one of the marketing directors of Qualcomm.

   But in fact, the ability of Owen Jacob's son can only be said to be average.

   Last year, Paul Jacobs led the BREW software platform within Qualcomm.

  Qualcomm originally hoped that through this platform, it could be used as a game and mobile e-mail service base station for communication operators.

   Unfortunately, there are very few applicants, and few operators are willing to use this software platform.

   Coupled with the aftermath of the Internet bubble burst, no one is optimistic about these things related to the Internet.

   The BREW software platform led by Paul suffered a complete mess.

  In the parallel time and space, the second generation said that it sounds good because creative inspiration often arises in his mind, he likes to take risks, has the courage to accept challenges, and always tries to do new research and development.

   To put it bluntly, it means that he is ambitious and very prodigal.

  If it weren't for the strong foundation left by Irving Jacobs, Qualcomm's paving the way for patented technology is close to a monopoly position.

  Changing to any other technology company, there is a high probability that it will be squandered by Paul Jacobs' various "adventures".

  Let’s put it this way, in parallel time and space since Paul Jacob came to power.

  Qualcomm’s loss-making businesses were basically led by Paul Jacobs.

   Fortunately, his prodigal losses are not very serious, and he doesn't lose much each time.

   Relying on Qualcomm's terrifying background in the communications industry, it can still be saved.

  Combined with Owen Jacobs and his own ability to maneuver, he has been able to firmly hold Qualcomm's power.

   It's a pity that in this time and space, Qualcomm is at its most difficult time.

  Abel moved with lightning speed.

   At a speed that even Irving Jacobs couldn't react, he directly controlled most of Qualcomm's shares.

  Even the founder, Irving Jacob, can only rely on the prestige of the founder to continue to stay in the position of CEO.

  Paul Jacob wants to take the stage to master Qualcomm's words after Irving Jacob retires like Parallel Time and Space.

  Not likely.

  Because even Abel doesn’t know Paul’s ability in parallel time and space.

   But the Smith Group is not a vegetarian.

  Consultants have long gone through various investigations and believe that Paul Jacob is not suitable to be the successor of Irving Jacob.

   This made Abel already in his heart, and sentenced Paul Jacob to death very early.

  So even if Abel came to inspect today.

  Owen Jacob's words were both inside and outside, revealing that he wanted his son to take over his class.

  Abel kept laughing and skipping the matter.

   Just kidding, as the saying goes, "If you are not afraid of the second generation prodigal, send the second generation to start a business."

  Paul Jacob is obviously such a second generation.

  Abel is not his father. But he won't get used to him and support Paul messing around at Qualcomm.

  The expectations of Jacob and his son are destined to fail.

   After more than two hours, I have already had lunch.

  Looking at Abel's helicopter, it took off in front of the flat ground of the Qualcomm headquarters building.

  Jacob and his son returned to Owen Jacob's office.

  In the CEO's office, Owen just closed the door.

  Paul Jacob hit the leather sofa in the rest area with a fist.

boom-

   A loud voice sounded, and Owen Jacob frowned, looking at his son.

   "Paul, calm down. I'm a little disappointed by the way you look."

   "Dad. But that guy, he's so obvious. He just doesn't want me to take over from you!"

  Paul Jacob said angrily.

  If it is said that Abel acquired Qualcomm, the most unhappy person in the entire Qualcomm must be Paul Jacobs.

  Because if it weren't for the appearance of Abel, Qualcomm's complicated shareholding structure would have occurred.

  Jacobs and his sons can use the majesty of the founders and use some means to maintain the control of the Jacobs family over Qualcomm.

  But now Abel has absolutely held the shares and delisted the company.

  Jacob, who only owns about 3.5% of Qualcomm's shares, is unlikely to pose any real threat to Abel, who holds 90.1% of the shares.

  When Owen Jacob is getting older, lacks energy, and has reached retirement age.

  Paul Jacob's desire to succeed his father and dominate this technology company is also difficult to achieve.

  Today, Owen Jacob expressed his thoughts to Abel cryptically.

  But I didn’t get any positive response, which was Abel’s answer.

  Jacob and his son already knew that this was even the last glimmer of hope, which can be said to be very slim.

   Smart people hold back.

   She is very smart, but greedy, or rather unwilling to be ordinary people.

   It is not so easy to back down.

   Facing his angry son, Owen Jacob remained silent.

  Paul Jacob said: "Dad, would you like to see the company you created and worked so hard to maintain completely fall into the hands of others? It is already obvious that that guy just doesn't like me!"

   Owen Jacob was also quite unhappy in his heart at this time.

  In fact, Owen is not ignorant of his son's lack of ability and personality flaws.

  I also know that Paul is not very suitable to be the helm of Qualcomm.

   But like Paul said.

  As the founder of Qualcomm, Owen Jacob has always regarded Qualcomm as his territory.

  Since it is his own "territory", Owen has only one son.

  The "territory", of course he hopes to pass it on to his son.

  In parallel time and space.

   Due to the large number of Qualcomm shareholders, the shares are still very scattered. Owen has great authority and prestige, and the Jacobs family finally controlled Qualcomm completely to a certain extent.

  The inheritance of Owen Jacob was successfully completed.

   Now facing Abel's oil and salt, he can't enter.

   Owen, who wanted to leave the position to his son, already knew Abel's attitude.

   "It really can't be just like this."

Irwin Jacobs said softly, "But we need to take the long view, you understand? Paul, we are dealing with a terrifying Wall Street giant. We can only act when there is hope of a comeback. Until then, we must Forbearance."

   See the father's clear attitude.

  Paul Jacob felt better, he looked at his father: "Then what do you mean?"

   "I need time." Owen Jacob responded to his son with a blank expression.

  Paul Jacob nodded again and again, knowing that he still had hope.

  He just hoped that time would come sooner.

   On the other side, Abel has left San Diego.

  He has two and a half companies in this city.

   are Pacific Energy, Qualcomm, and California Pacific Electric, which holds 50.1% of the shares.

   Before going to tour Qualcomm, he had been to two energy companies.

   After visiting Qualcomm, he naturally left San Diego.

  He didn't go back to Santa Barbara, because he couldn't get a good vent when he went back.

  Abel's helicopter went straight to Malibu.

  Malibu, California, has Malibu Beach. It is one of the most sought after beaches in all of Southern California.

  When the helicopter landed in Malibu, 23762 Malibu Road.

  The pretty girl in the villa has already greeted her.

   I just came here from New York, and I’m here to promote my first album, and at the same time, I went to Grammy’s Avril Lavigne, Avril Lavigne.

  Britney will come tomorrow.

  Under Harvey's public relations, as long as Abel plays, DreamWorks Music can get at least 15 Grammy medals.

   Among them, in the past two years, in terms of album sales and influence, Britney Spears, who has swept the entire European and American world, can get at least two.

  Even Avril Lavigne hopes to win one, and it is an award that a singer only has one chance to win in a lifetime—the Best Rookie/Rookie Award.

  But now, the only girl in the villa is a Canadian girl.

   Then she will suffer.

  When Avril Lavigne has complex expressions of joy, anxiety, displeasure, jealousy, and happiness.

  When he came forward to meet Abel.

  The treatment she received was that she, who was only 160cm tall, was picked up directly and placed on Abel's shoulders.

  Amidst her "haha" screams, Abel walked towards the villa like carrying a primary school student.

   "Put me down. You big stupid bear, you are so tall. I'm afraid, I'm afraid of heights!"

   "It's okay, you won't be afraid later. You'll just scream."

   Three hours later.

   23762 Malibu Road.

  Abel, who was wearing beach shorts and exuded the fragrance of shower gel, came out of Avril Lavigne's room.

  The girl didn't come out with her, she was exhausted from bearing alone.

  At this moment, I can only rely on rest to replenish my physical strength after strenuous exercise.

  Abel, who was only wearing beach shorts, walked out of the villa, and there was a vast beach in front of him.

   As the warm sunset fell, he took two extra steps and stepped on the sand, which felt soft and comfortable. In front of him was a vast and boundless ocean scenery.

  In the room, the beauty Cheng En was exhausted.

  Outside the house, I feel refreshed.

  Abel feels that this is definitely the comfortable life that every man has been yearning for for a long time.

  While sniffing the slightly salty sea breeze, David Jones suddenly walked over.

  The butler of the Smith family walked to Abel's side and said softly:

   "BOSS, there is a small problem in New York."

"Say."

   "Those underground rats, their actions are a bit unclean. They left some hand tails, which were photographed by reporters."

   "The mice were cornered and found Lincoln..."

  Abel raised his eyebrows.

  Although what David said was not very clear, Abel understood what it meant.

   "Which reporter captured it?"

   "The New Yorker."

  Hearing this name, Abel raised his eyebrows and frowned.

   "The New Yorker? I remember...it seems to be a magazine owned by Condé Nast?"

  David nodded and said: "Yes, Condé Nast Group, owns 65% of the magazine. Advanced Group has 20%."

   After hearing this information.

  Abel knew why such a "little thing", David would come over and talk to himself specifically.

  Some time ago, Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of the American edition of "VOGUE" magazine, approached Abel.

  She wants to get rid of Condé Nast, get rid of the Newhouse family.

  I hope that the big tree of Abel can shelter her and the group of migrant workers who followed her.

  Because Anna Wintour has a way to hollow out "VOGUE" magazine at once.

  At the same time, Smith Media has the hope of obtaining a new fashion magazine with as much influence as "VOGUE".

  Abe, who has never been afraid of getting into trouble, agreed to Anna Wintour's refuge.

   Big trees, for some little guys who can add fertilizer for themselves, shelter from the wind and rain.

   Isn't that what it should be?

  If you are afraid of this, then what kind of tree is it!

  After getting his support.

  Not long ago, fashion godmother Anna Wintour, began to openly attack Condé Nast Group and the owner behind Condé Nast Group in the media.

  Her words are actually quite gentle, the original words are:

   "Mr. Shi Yi Newhouse is quite wise, but his younger brother Donald Newhouse is not so good."

   This sentence is actually not very offensive.

  The question is Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of VOGUE magazine, an industry owned by the Newhouse family.

   Many people in the circle know that the relationship between Anna Wintour and Donald Newhouse is not simple.

   You should know that Shi Yi Newhouse, the head of the Newhouse family, has created a famous "fashionable Christmas party" in the fashion circle in the past ten years.

  In this Christmas reception, Shi Yi Newhouse's left and right hands are often Anna Wintour of "Vogue" and Tina Brown, the legendary female editor-in-chief of "Vanity Fair".

   Now that one of the right-hand men of the Newhouse family actually said such a thing, it naturally has to make people imagine.

  The Newhouse family will certainly not take this matter lightly.

  There is no impenetrable wall in the world.

  Newhouse is one of the traditional New York media giants similar to the Hearst family.

  Under the investigation, it was easy to find that Anna Wintour dared to show her teeth to her original owner because she was next to the big tree of Abel Smith.

  Abel soon received an invitation from Shi Yi Newhouse to meet.

  But he refused because he couldn't get away.

  Abel was going to hollow out the roots of "VOGUE".

  And "VOGUE" magazine is undoubtedly the most profitable magazine under the Condé Nast Group.

  As the saying goes, blocking someone's way of making money is like killing one's parents.

  Abel is going to kill Newhouse's parents.

  He felt that no matter how much he talked, he couldn't get a good result.

  That simply disappeared.

  Smith thinks so too.

  Since then, there is no doubt that the Newhouse family regards Abel and Smith Media, as well as other companies of the Smith family, as their opponents.

  Abel knew about those rats, after they were photographed by a reporter from The New Yorker while they were working.

  This matter is not so easy to deal with.

   "Are Lincoln's hands clean?"

  Abel asked the key point first.

  David nodded: "There is no problem at all. Even if FlA came to investigate, it would be impossible to find anything. Because we are innocent."

  Lincoln, the **** man's steps and plans this time, are the plans that the Smith Intelligence Group researched after spending a few days and referring to the practices of a large number of American gang elites.

  According to this set of plans, at least on the surface, this matter cannot be related to Abel.

   Not many people dare to investigate this kind of thing too deeply.

  If someone dares to start this, it will attract the hostility of the entire class.

  Because Abel is not the only one who does this kind of thing.

   There are many rats in the United States. Why do these rats exist.

   Is it because the cats in the United States are not capable?

   No, just some things, cat owners, find it more convenient to let the mice do it.

   This makes the "rats" have the value of existence.

  Abel is also one of the "cat owners".

  Others can kill the mouse that is working for Abel.

   Anyway, it's just a mouse, and it either dies today or tomorrow.

   But if the matter is related to Abel, then the group hostility of the cat owners has to be considered.

  If you dare to pull out Abel Smith today, you may not dare to pull out one of you tomorrow.

   It's kind of like the Eppy Island incident.

   It is also considered as a class, a content that cannot be mentioned.

  Everyone does, or something that many people do.

  You mentioned it, and you are making enemies of these people.

  Whoever mentions it is unlucky, the ability is not enough, the end is usually 8 shots in the body, or hanged to death in prison.

  So let’s not say that the hands are clean.

  Even if the hands are dirty, Abel is not worried that The New Yorker will attack him.

  Even if Newhouse knew that these rats were working for Abel.

  Newhouse would never dare to attack Abel directly, even indirectly, on these matters.

   But although Newhouse can't take pictures of these mice to attack Abel.

  They can also take these photos and directly beat these mice to death in front of Abel.

   In doing so, it looks like Abel has little to lose.

   But later when Abel needs the mice to do his errands.

  The other mice have to consider whether they can be his mice.

  A cat owner who can't keep a mouse that does his own work.

  Even if he is the owner of the cat, that can't make the mouse feel at ease.

   Under the watchful eyes of members of the class who know it all.

  The Newhouse family, if they can kill these rats in front of Abel.

  That can be regarded as an indirect revenge on Abel.

  At the moment when Anna Wintour quits.

   More or less, it can also save some face of the Newhouse family within the class.
