America's Road to Wealth

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

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

The most famous one is of course Manhattan in New York.

It is so famous that in most people's eyes, when mentioning Manhattan, it refers to Manhattan Island in New York.

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

The smallest one 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 Kamosha Beach.

It's not very far from Santa Monica Beach, but there are far fewer people 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's close to Hollywood.

It takes almost two hours to drive from Malibu Beach to Hollywood, and the traffic jam doubles when leaving the city on weekends.

It only takes half an hour to drive from Beverly Hills to Manhattan Beach without traffic jams.

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

Land and housing prices have huge potential for appreciation.

Therefore, Xinqidian Real Estate Company has also purchased more than a dozen houses here for a long time.

Abel has been called "the world's craziest luxury home buyer" by many major media, and he is not well-deserved.

Having said that, New Starting Point Real Estate Company really doesn't look like a real estate company.

First of all, it can only be bought, not sold, and at most it can be rented out.

Secondly, the most important core capability of a real estate company - real estate development and construction, is almost nil.

New Starting Point 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 in New York with Papa Ikana's company, there are no other projects under construction.

To be precise, Abel's positioning of New Starting Point Real Estate Company is that it is a real estate speculator and a tool for Abel to pick up girls.

Abel knew that by the end of 2006, real estate in the United States would double as a whole, with some areas doubling several times.

It looks very much like China in 2013-19.

If you don't make this money, you won't make it in vain.

What's more, things like houses exist in ancient and modern times, at home and abroad, and even in the animal kingdom.

It has always been one of the main tools used by males to attract females and let them spread their genes for reproduction and expansion.

The Manhattan Beach villa where Abel and Annie are currently located is located at 3120 Oceanfront Hotel Road, Manhattan Beach.

It has 7 bedrooms and 9 bathrooms, with an indoor building area of ​​6,699 square feet and an area of ​​9,690 square feet excluding the private beach.

Including the private beach, the total adds up to more than 15,000 square feet.

New Starting Point Real Estate Company purchased it for only US$8 million at the end of 2000.

Now its price on the market has nearly quadrupled.

All I can say is that whether it is the property market or the stock market, when the market is bullish, making money is really profitable.

Walk off the wooden trestle of the villa.

Arriving at the private beach, Abel took the DV and filmed herself running around like a child, and then put on all kinds of charming poses in front of her, showing that her career was obviously much bigger than a year ago, and her youth was invincible. Looks quite beautiful.

Annie happily stepped on the water, riding the waves, and the seawater reached her waist. Abel turned over the DV and raised his arms. Annie snuggled in Abel's arms, raised her chin, and kissed Abel on the cheek. At this time, she saw behind her When a huge wave came, he was so frightened that he ran away with a frightened expression on his face and his upper row of white teeth, which looked quite funny.

"Ha ha……"

Abel, who took pictures of all his expressions, burst out laughing, leaving Annie, who was embarrassed to avoid the huge waves, to run over and gnash her teeth in embarrassment, jump up, put her arms around Abel's neck, and lay on his back.

Abel held her up, while Anne lay on Abel's shoulder, biting Abel's ear, and said coquettishly: "Bite you to death..."

"Haha." Abel carried her on his back and walked to the beach. The DV in his hand kept taking pictures of the two of them. "Actually, if you are willing, I can fulfill your current wish."

"Bah! Big wolf!"

Anne, who was already well versed in this, immediately understood and spat angrily. It was obvious to what extent a white lotus had been polluted by Abel.

"There is a big rock over there, we can..."

"Pooh!"

Upon hearing Abel's proposal, Anne's foxy eyes sparkled, her pretty face flushed, and she bit Abel's shoulder with a look of embarrassment. However, she did not reject it, but instead had some exciting expectations.

When the two figures disappeared from the reef, it didn't take long before Annie's angry scolding was heard.

"Asshole, turn off the DV"

"Haha, such a beautiful scene must 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 villa's wooden plank road, the aroma of fine wine wafts out.

Abel hugged Annie, who was already asleep, and pulled the blanket covering the two of them. He looked at the orange fireball hanging on the sea level, dyeing the entire sky red. It was so beautiful that it was intoxicating.

Lowering his head and kissing Annie's hair, Abel smiled lovingly.

As the sunset disappeared over the sea level, Abel lifted off the blanket, stood up from the lounge chair, wrapped Annie in the blanket, hugged her horizontally, and walked to the bedroom.

"Um?"

Annie, who had 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 has been her paradise. Life.

I really want to live like this forever, but it is ultimately unrealistic.

Not to mention that Abel was so carefree and busy.

Even now, in a while, Amo 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 Cars Group for half a year.

There is no doubt that the venue for appeal is the Supreme Court of London.

Plus Abel’s influence there.

As the saying goes, the referees are all mine, how can you compare with me?

This lawsuit, which has already been heard once, puts Volkswagen and BMW at a disadvantage.

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

As long as the Rolls-Royce Motor Cars Group can pay the "ransom", that is, the funds from the acquisition, and return it to Volkswagen, then it can regain its freedom.

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

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

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

Because the current exchange rate is that the U.S. dollar is stronger. Mark 1.44 billion can now be exchanged for only US$700 million.

In fact, the Mark is about to withdraw in Germany, and the Euro is replacing the Mark.

This verdict, even if inflation and business factors are not taken into account, would be a loss of tens of millions of dollars.

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

For example, Rolls-Royce Aviation Engine Company has started to use its old tricks to put pressure on Rolls-Royce, trying to make Rolls-Royce Motor Cars succumb.

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

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

The families have already been separated, and Luo Luo is too lazy to care about the life and death of Rolls-Royce.

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

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

This time when they encountered danger, BMW and Volkswagen came up with this trick again.

It's just that this time, Rolls-Royce Motor Group has Abel's support behind it.

Faced with the threats and pressure from Rolls-Royce, Rolls-Royce did not give up this time.

Currently, many parties are facing off in this prosecution case.

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

After 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.

Aymo Alamuddin, as Abel's representative and the person who knew the most about the lawsuit, went to see them.

"Okay. I'll deal with you later! I didn't have all the fun just now!"

Abel and Annie hugged each other affectionately and said with a smile.

Anne, who was well aware of Abel's unrelenting torment, blushed on her fair cheeks, looked at Abel with charming eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "I, I'm not afraid of you!"

"Haha, really? No matter how you beg for mercy from now on, I won't pay attention to you anymore. I want to see if you are afraid."

"Hmph! Let's see!"

Anne, whose foxy eyes were filled with water mist and full of spring, said in a arrogant and tough-tongued tone.

But those long legs could not help but tremble slightly.

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

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

"Haha, go to sleep."

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

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

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

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

Upon hearing the boss's inquiry, David smiled slightly and said:

"BOSS, Mr. Stern has already replied. He said that the game between the Houston Rockets and the Memphis Grizzlies on January 20 has been temporarily canceled due to safety hazards at FedEx Plaza, the home of the Grizzlies."

"The object of the match between the two teams has been changed. The time of the Rockets' next game remains unchanged, but the venue and opponent team have been changed to Staples Center and the Los Angeles Lakers."

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

"Who can say it isn't?" David smiled.

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

He is truly worthy of being a pioneering figure who single-handedly brought the NBA into the top four in the United States and even became the most influential player in the world.

Even Abel admired his courage and daring to do things.

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

Firstly, he is the richest man in the world, the super-traffic king of the United States, one of the representatives of pure Anzai white guys, and one of the top tycoons on Wall Street. The combination of these several identities is enough to make any industry that needs exposure regard Abel as a super treasure.

Let alone the NBA.

Even if it is Major League Baseball or the National Football League, if Abel appears on the field now, 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 world's richest man and super handsome guy.

Secondly, if you take a look at the NBA, you will find that among its management, the Oilers can be said to dominate the world with one hand.

Half of the 30 team owners are Oilers.

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

To some extent, the Oilers have regarded him as a new generation, or one of the future representatives of the Ansar side.

Faced with the Ansa people who have knives in their hands, the Ayous have always been courteous and provide services.

The Oilers' attitude towards Abel is now basically unified.

Same old thing.

Co-opt, corrupt, and parasitize, just like they did to the older generation of Anzalo elites in the past.

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

This is something that the big guys within the Oilers will smile about.

"January 20th, right? Let's go then. The NBA is so sincere. If I let go, I'll look stingy." Abel said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way. Inform Michael, oh, it's Levin's Michael. Let Michael invite some stars and celebrities to participate. I've always been a generous person."

David smiled and nodded in agreement.

Abel then picked up his phone and read the text message.

You can contact him by text message, except for special text messages with special effects requirements during special time periods.

Most of the rest are his women, texting him.

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

Next is Scarlett Johansson.

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

Liv's text messages were all about teasing Abel, and Scarlett Johansson's text messages had the most content.

Abel would reply to them every day or two.

This made Abel miss the convenience of WeChat.

He was already thinking whether he should let Google create WeChat.

Oh, actually the United States already has “WeChat”.

MSN.

It’s just that MSN is really difficult to use, and the current technical conditions and network do not support the emergence of WeChat.

Now a family of five, their five-month-old son has not yet developed a fever, and we don’t know if it is the incubation period or the chosen one.

I don’t have a high fever today, it’s a low fever and a sore throat. It took me four hours to come up with this, and I no longer have the energy to check for typos. Please help me catch the bug if you see it. I will modify it later, thank you.
