America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 394 The reason why David Stern licked wildly

  There are many places in the United States called Manhattan, which may be roughly equivalent to various "Chengguan Towns" in China.

   It is said that there are 170 Chengguan towns in China. In this regard, there are only a lot more places in the United States called Manhattan.

   The most famous of course is Manhattan in New York.

  It is so famous that in the eyes of most people, when Manhattan is mentioned, it refers to Manhattan Island in New York.

  In California, there are dozens or hundreds of them in a place called Manhattan.

  The smallest is a road in Southern California called Manhattan Road...

  The most famous "Manhattan" in California is Manhattan Beach.

  To the south of Manhattan Beach is El Segundo, and to the north is Hermosa Beach.

  It is not very far from Santa Monica Beach, but there are much fewer people coming here than Santa Monica Beach.

   This is why many Hollywood stars prefer this place.

  In fact, Manhattan Beach is far less beautiful than Malibu Beach.

  The key is that it is close to Hollywood.

  It takes about two hours to drive from Malibu Beach to Hollywood, and the traffic jam doubles when going out of the city on weekends.

  Beverly Hills to Manhattan Beach, only half an hour's drive without traffic jams.

  It is also one of the famous wealthy areas in the United States.

  Land and house price appreciation potential is huge.

  So the new starting point real estate company has also bought a dozen houses here a long time ago.

  Abel was dubbed "the world's craziest luxury house buyer" by many major media, and it's not for nothing.

   Having said that, the new starting point real estate company is not really a real estate company.

   First of all, it has only been bought but not sold, and at most it has been rented out.

  Secondly, the most important core competence of real estate companies—real estate development and construction, it is almost equal to nothing.

  New Start Real Estate Company does not even have the most important construction department of the real estate company...

   Except for a super high-rise residential building project that I cooperated with Ikana’s company in New York, there are no other projects under construction.

  To be precise, Abel’s positioning of New Start Real Estate Company is itself a real estate speculator and a tool for Abel to pick up girls.

  Abel knows that by the end of 2006, the real estate in the United States will double in general, and several times in some areas.

   It looks very much like Huaxia in 2013-19.

   This money is not earned for nothing.

   What's more, things like houses are no matter ancient or modern, Chinese or foreign, or even the animal kingdom.

   It has always been one of the main tools used by males to attract females and allow them to propagate and expand genes for themselves.

  The Manhattan Beach villa where Abel and Anne are at the moment is located at 3120 Seaside Hotel Road, Manhattan Beach.

  7 rooms and 9 bathrooms, the interior building is 6699 square feet, and the land area is 9690 square feet if the private beach is not included.

  Counting the private beach, it adds up to more than 15,000 square feet.

   At the end of 2000, the new starting point real estate company bought it for only 8 million US dollars.

   Now its price in the market has almost quadrupled.

   It can only be said that whether it is the property market or the stock market, when the market is bullish, making money is really profitable.

   Walk down the wooden trestle bridge of the villa.

On the private beach, Abel took a DV and filmed running wildly like a child, and then posed various charming poses in front of him, showing her career line that was obviously much bigger than a year ago, youthful and invincible Appearance, quite beautiful.

Annie happily stepped on the water, stepped on the waves, and the sea water reached her waist. Abel flipped the DV and raised his arms. Annie snuggled into Abel's arms, raised her chin, and kissed Abel's cheek. At this time, she saw When the huge waves came, he ran away in fright, showing a frightened expression, and blew his white teeth on the top, which looked quite funny.

"Ha ha…"

   Abel, who took pictures of all the expressions, laughed loudly, letting Annie, who was embarrassed to avoid the huge waves, ran over with gritted teeth in embarrassment, jumped up, put his arms around Abel's neck, and lay on his back.

  Abel supported her, while Annie lay on Abel's shoulder, biting Abel's ear, and said coquettishly, "Kill you to death..."

   "Hehe." Abel carried her on his back and walked towards the beach. The DV in his hand kept taking pictures of the two of them. "Actually, if you want, I can fulfill your wish now."

   "Bah! Big seer wolf!"

  Annie, who was already well versed in this way, understood in seconds, and spat angrily, showing how much a white lotus had been polluted by Abel.

   "There's a big rock over there, we can..."

   "Bah!"

  Hearing Abel's proposal, Annie's foxy eyes sparkled, her pretty face flushed slightly, and she bit Abel's shoulder with a look of shame, but she didn't refuse, but had some exciting expectations.

  When the figures of the two disappeared on the reef, it didn't take long to hear Annie's exasperated and coquettish reprimand.

   "Asshole, turn off the DV"

   "Hehe, such a beautiful picture should be kept as a souvenir..."

   More than an hour later, in the evening, the warm sea reflected the gorgeous sunset.

  Under the colorful umbrellas on the viewing platform of the wooden plank road of the villa, the mellow aroma of fine wine wafts out.

  Abel put his arms around Annie, who was already asleep, and pulled the blanket that covered the two of them. He watched the big orange fireball hanging above the sea level, dyeing the entire sky red, which was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.

   Bowed his head and kissed Annie's hair, Abel smiled dotingly.

  The setting sun disappeared on the sea level, Abel lifted the blanket, stood up from the recliner, wrapped Annie in the blanket, hugged her horizontally, and walked into the bedroom.

"Ok?"

Annie, with a hint of tiredness on her pretty red face, opened her sleepy eyes, saw Abel's smile, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, and closed her eyes again. For Annie, everything these days was like her paradise Life.

   I really want to live like this forever, however, it is unrealistic after all.

   Don't say that Abel is so hardworking and busy.

  Even now, after a while, Aymo Alamuddin, who went out to negotiate with BMW and Volkswagen on behalf of Abel today, may be back.

  BMW and Volkswagen have been sued by the British Rolls-Royce Motor Group, and it has been half a year now.

  There is no doubt, because the venue of the appeal is the Supreme Court in London.

   Plus Abel's influence over there.

  As the saying goes, the referees are all my people, how do you compare with me?

   In this lawsuit that has already been held once, Volkswagen and BMW are at a disadvantage.

  According to the judgment, the acquisition of Rolls-Royce Motor Group by Volkswagen and BMW is invalid and illegal.

   As long as the Rolls-Royce Motor Group can pay the "ransom", that is, the funds at the time of the acquisition, and return it to the public, then it can restore freedom.

  At that time, Volkswagen bought Rolls-Royce in the hands of the Vickers Group for 1.44 billion marks.

  According to the exchange rate at that time, it was about 710 million US dollars.

  If the judgment of the London House of Lords can be implemented, then Volkswagen and BMW will not only lose Rolls-Royce, but also lose some money.

  Because of the current exchange rate, the US dollar is stronger. 1.44 billion marks can now be exchanged for only 700 million US dollars.

   In fact, the mark is almost out in Germany, and the euro is replacing the mark.

  This judgment, even if inflation and business factors are not considered, will cost tens of millions of dollars.

  Volkswagen and BMW were naturally dissatisfied, mobilizing their connections and energy while appealing.

  Like Rolls-Royce Aviation Engine Company, it started to put pressure on Rolls-Royce again to make Rolls-Royce Motors succumb.

   Because of the Rolls-Royce engine, it has too many technologies that need to use the patents of BMW and Volkswagen.

  The main body of the Rolls-Royce trademark is in its hands again.

  The family has already been separated, Luo Luo is too lazy to care about Rolls-Royce's life and death.

   As long as it can continue to use BMW's technology patents.

  In the acquisition case a few years ago, Rolls-Royce cars were able to be transferred around because of the threat from Rolls-Royce.

   This time it was in danger, and BMW and Volkswagen took this trick again.

   It's just that this time the Rolls-Royce Motor Group has Abel's backing.

   Facing Rolls-Royce's threats and pressure, this time Rolls-Royce Motors did not hesitate.

  In the current prosecution case, multiple parties are confronting each other.

   Of course, Volkswagen and BMW also know who is behind the Rolls-Royce Motor Group.

  Following the last time in France, BMW and Volkswagen approached Abel again and wanted to talk to him.

  Abel didn't see them this time.

  He asked Allen and others to talk to people from BMW and Volkswagen.

  Aimer Alamuddin, as Abel's representative and the person who knows the lawsuit best, went to meet them.

   "Okay. I'll clean you up later! I didn't enjoy myself just now!"

   After Abel and Annie hugged affectionately, they said with smiles.

  Annie, who knew Abel's indomitable spirit, had a rosy glow on her fair cheeks, looked at Abel with winking eyes, and said in a trembling voice, "I, I'm not afraid of you!"

   "Hehe, really? After that, no matter how much you beg for mercy, I won't bother you anymore. I want to see if you are afraid."

   "Humph! We'll see!"

  Annie, who was already full of mist in her vixenous eyes, was full of spring, and said arrogantly with a dead duck mouth.

  It's just those big long moon legs, but they can't help trembling slightly.

   This made her very ashamed, but there was nothing she could do about it. It had been almost two years since she was tortured by Abel, and her body already had a memory.

  From spirit to body, it can be said that it is in the shape of Abel.

   "Hehe, go to bed."

  Abel chuckled, reached out to hold her chin, kissed her red lips again, with a bright smile on his face, patted her on the back, helped her cover the quilt, left, and closed the door.

  Backed to the living room, sat on the sofa, took out his mobile phone, and was about to read the text messages on his mobile phone. When Abel saw David beside him, he asked casually, "By the way, what did Stern say?"

  Abel asked David Stern and wanted to invite him to the All-Star Game.

   But Abel refused, and asked if the NBA could arrange the Rockets' game to California in the near future, so that Abel could attend.

  Hearing the boss's question, David smiled slightly and said:

   "BOSS, Mr. Stern has already replied. He said that the Houston Rockets VS Memphis Grizzlies game on January 20 has been temporarily canceled because of the safety hazard at FedEx Plaza, the home of the Grizzlies."

  "The objects of the two teams' matches have been changed. The time for the Rockets' next game will remain the same, but the venue and team will be replaced by the Staples Center and the Los Angeles Lakers."

  Abel raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Mr. Stern, you are very willing to spend your money..."

   "Who can say otherwise." David smiled.

  Abel also did not expect that Stern would dare to risk the authority of the NBA and change the game system in order to make himself appear on the NBA court.

   Sure enough, he deserves to be the pioneer who single-handedly brought the NBA into the Big Four in the United States, and even the most influential person in the world.

  Even Abel appreciates his courage and courage to do things.

   It's just that it's normal for Stern to do this.

  First, he is the richest man in the world, the super traffic king of the United States, one of the representatives of the pure Anza white man, and one of the top Wall Street giants. The combination of these layers of identities is enough to make Abel a super baby in any industry that needs exposure.

   Let alone the NBA.

  Even in Major League Baseball or the National Football League, if the current Abel appears on the field, it will still cause a certain degree of sensation.

   However, his influence is currently limited to the United States.

  In the whole world, he does not have the status of a super traffic king.

  Only the status of the richest man in the world and super handsome.

  Secondly, the NBA is dismantled and looked at. In its management, the Oilers can be said to cover the sky with one hand.

  The owners of 30 teams, half of them are Oilers.

  Stern himself is an Oiler, and Abel’s relationship with the Oiler—

   To some extent, the Oilers have already regarded him as one of the representatives of the new generation, or the future Anzafang.

  Facing the Ansa people who hold knives, the Ahyou people have always been courteous and provide services.

  The oil people's attitude towards Abel is basically unified.

   Same old style.

  Collection, corruption, parasitism, just like they did to the older Ansar elite.

  With this premise, Stern is happy to provide convenience for Abel in the NBA.

   This is something that the big shots inside their Oilers will smile at.

   "January 20, right? Then go. The NBA is so sincere. If you release pigeons again, it will appear that I am stingy." Abel smiled.

   "Oh, that's right. Tell Michael, oh, it's Levin's Michael. Let Michael invite some stars and celebrities to participate. I've always been generous."

  David smiled and nodded.

  Abel just picked up the phone and looked at the text message.

   Those who can contact him by text message, except for special text messages that require special effects during special time periods.

  The rest, mostly his women, sent him text messages.

  The one who likes texting the most and is very good at playing tricks is Liv Tyler, the green tea girl.

   Followed by Scarlett Johansson.

  She is the youngest among Abel's women, younger than little Laura.

   Liv's text messages are teasing Abel in different ways, while Scarlett Johansson's text messages are the most dense.

  Abel will reply to them every day or two.

   This made Abel miss the convenient WeChat.

  He was already thinking about whether he should let Google develop WeChat.

  Oh, in fact, the United States already has "WeChat".

  MSN chant.

   It’s just that MSN is really hard to use, and the current technical conditions and network don’t support the emergence of WeChat.

   Now a family of five has a five-month-old son who hasn’t had a fever yet, and I don’t know if it’s the incubation period or if it’s the day’s choice to hit the worker.

   I don't have a high fever today, but a low fever with a sore throat. It took me four hours to figure this out, and I don’t have the energy to check for typos. Please help me catch bugs if you see it, and I will modify it later, thank you.
