America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 211 King Smith

The movie that Abel was going to let Scarlett do.

It is the parallel time and space, the movie "Kick-Ass" that appeared in 2010.

This is based on Mark Miller's comic strip "Kick-Ass".

A hilarious comedy superhero film starring Chloe Grace Moretz, who was about 13 years old at the time.

Abel intends to let Scarlett play the role of Super Killer at this time.

At this time, Scarlett was about the same height as 13-year-old Chloe Grace Moretz.

When it's time to shoot, the makeup will be a little more childish.

With Scarlett's current appearance, she can definitely bring out the girly and Lolita mixed temperament of Super Killer.

Without looking at Liv Tyler, she suddenly saw Scarlett wearing a bath towel.

Did they almost regard her as a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl?

In addition, Super Killer is popular.One is pretty and cool, and the other is a violent Lolita plot.

Scarlett has it all.

And in the process of filming, she can also try to hide her well-developed figure as much as possible.

After Scarlett finishes acting in these two plays, in another year or two, she will almost grow up.

At that time, she was asked to play Natasha the Black Widow again.

At that time, when everyone is watching a movie.

They will suddenly discover that that Lolita super killer is actually so unexpected!
Abel remembered that the Kick-Ass investment was not expensive.

Even if it's just to let Scarlett first, practice how to shoot the scene of beating a girl.

Anyway, it's just a funny superhero movie with a small budget, and it doesn't matter if it goes bad.

Just think of it as a practice for Scarlett and MGM, and learn from the experience of shooting super British movies.

As for Scarlett, I heard that she will soon be able to act as the heroine of an MGM movie.

She is still the heroine of the series, and she didn't even ask about the film's investment budget, and she was already so excited that she carried herself away.

So that night, the swelling has not disappeared.

Scarlett sacrificed herself bravely.

Riding a horse is a joy.

The result of doing this is to let her wait for several days to cultivate.

In order to fully restore the body.

2 month 15 day.

Abel is finally back in New York.

It's different from Los Angeles, which has begun to pick up.

New York in February.

Even if it's already mid-term.

Except for a period of time at noon, the temperature is still below zero for most of the time.

Fortunately, the blizzard was gone, only the occasional light snow.

But Abel had reasons why he had to come back.

Because there are still a few days left, the closed period of the first private placement of Smith Capital is coming to an end.

The first private placement of Smith Capital raised a total of US$30 billion.

The management fee is 0, the redemption fee is 2%, and the subscription fee is 1%.

Except that the management fee of 0 is outrageous, the other two items are relatively low values ​​in Wall Street.

But the most outrageous thing is the bonus withdrawal fee of up to 50%.

50% dividend withdrawal fee, for this $30 billion private placement.

It means that half of the profits earned will be commissions from Abel and Smith Capital, the fund manager and management institution.

Among them, the share ratio between Abel and Smith Capital is 9:1.

That is, if Abel can get ten dollars.

He only needs to give the company a dollar.

Suppose this private placement earns 100 billion US dollars.

$50 billion is going to be distributed to Abel.

For the 50 billion U.S. dollars, Abel will give 5 million U.S. dollars to Smith Capital.

At Smith Capital's year-end investment reception.

Smith Capital has announced the profit of the first phase of private placement at the time of the deadline.

Almost $56 billion or so.

And wait until the 20th of this month, the closed period officially ends.

The first phase of private placement of Smith Capital will be the first and last distribution of money.

Because after that, the first private equity fund will be closed.

This is the main thing Abel needs to do when he returns to New York this time.

When he came back, it was already night.

He didn't notify anyone, after all, he was the boss and the host of everything.

In addition to family members and women.

He didn't need to explain his itinerary to anyone.

Even women and family members are often the same.

Manhattan, New York.

63 East 8rd Street.

This is a townhouse located on the Upper East Side with 5 floors.

9 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, property taxes $14166 per month.

It's ideally located on the boulevard between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue.

The owner who lives here can easily go to Central Park, museums, Madison Avenue shopping mall and other famous places in Manhattan.

This is the property that Abel bought two months ago, costing him $2499.5 million.

The reason why the difference of 5000 US dollars is exactly 2500 million.

It is because according to the current Manhattan deed tax payment standard.

A luxury house worth 2500 million will pay 2500% more deed tax than a house worth less than 5 million.

Around ten o'clock in the evening.

Upper East Side, 63 East 8rd Street

"coffee!"

Abel, who was wearing a thick long coat, entered the room with a cold air when the female bodyguard opened the door.

After entering the warm room, he took off his coat and walked to the living room on the second floor.

Abel saw that there was a bottle of whiskey and two crystal square glasses with a little bottom on the table.

Of the two wine glasses, one had only a little drink left.

The other didn't.

There was a female bodyguard waiting beside her, and she saw the boss's questioning gaze.

The female bodyguard responded softly: "Miss Lerner and her friends went up to rest."

Abel nodded.

Miss Lerner, of course, is D. Ikana Lerner.

This townhouse is actually a little love nest that Abel gave Ikana.

After the two confirmed their relationship.

Ikana moved in here last month when Abe left for New York and Hawaii.

When I was almost 20 years old, I could have my own independent house.

And it is also the top mansion in the Upper East Side, an independent townhouse.

This kind of house, even with Ikana's background, made her very proud.

The key is this house, which Ikana can do freely by herself.

With it, Ikana's circle of celebrities in New York has become more proficient in dancing.

According to the report of the professionals arranged by Abel by her side.

Ikana often brings friends from her celebrity circle to live here, and even holds parties occasionally.

Of course.

Ikana is also very measured. She has never brought a man home, not even her father.

And she never stays out at night.

Abel who has learned about the parallel time and space, Ikana's character and experience.

He knew she was that kind of person.

In the past, there were only a few resources provided by her father.

She can make friends all over the world in the New York socialite circle.

Now I have Abel's resources, as well as the mansion and yacht given by Abel.

In this regard, she is even more able to toss.

As far as Abel knows, Ikana is now almost becoming a "vassal prince" in the New York celebrity circle.

She has a higher status in the New York celebrity circle than her previous and parallel time and space contemporaries.

In this regard, Abel's view is actually in favor of it.

It's better to let Yikana go to the circle of celebrities to toss all day, than she spends all day thinking about YKM, which has no future.

It's better than her thinking about becoming her own harem all day long, thinking about intrigue and scheming.

Anyway, I have arranged professional staff to follow me, so I am not afraid of the chameleon problem.

It's just a New York celebrity circle.

Just let her play.

With a smile, Abel went up to the third floor.

The first floor of the villa is the welcoming living room and leisure room.

The second floor is the large living room and dining room, as well as a small living room.

The third floor is the study room, and a master bedroom that occupies most of the area.

The fourth and fifth floors are all guest rooms and other bedrooms.

There is an outdoor swimming pool on the roof of the sixth floor.

There is also a small hanging garden.

Ikana lived in the master bedroom, of course, and her guests probably went upstairs to the guest bedroom.

Walking to the door of the master bedroom, Abel listened carefully inside, but did not hear any sound.

He turned the door, but it was unlocked, which made Abel push open the bedroom door and walk in.

After entering, what Abel saw was some messy white round Simmons, with some clothes thrown in a mess.

A pair of white Balenciaga fell in front of the closed bathroom door.

Abel walked over and picked up the Balenciaga on the ground.

Abel was still inside and saw a small neinei from Isha's for $99.99.

He walked back to Simmons, thought for a while, took out the phone from his pocket, and turned it to silent.

Then he stood up and took off his clothes, except for one.

It seems that because of looking forward to the next show, the visual impact is a bit BIG.

Checking the time, almost 10 minutes had passed, but he still didn't see Ikana coming out of the bathroom.

After thinking for a while, Abel lifted the quilt and got in directly.

A few minutes later, he in the quilt heard the sound of the bathroom door opening.

He waited quietly.

Soon Abel heard footsteps, came to the edge of Simmons and stopped, rustling, not knowing what he was doing.

Originally, he wanted to wait for Ikana to sit on Simmons.

He exploded again to give her a real "surprise".

But the quilt was a bit stuffy, and the heating in the room was too strong.

This made Abel really unable to stay.

Abel was in Ikana, just sitting next to Simmons who was closest to him.

He suddenly jumped up, lifted the quilt, hugged Ikana, and laughed—"Surprise!!!"

He noticed that this Ikana came out without wearing a bathrobe.

The figure is also petite a lot, shrunk a lot.

What responded to him were two screams from Ikana.

Why are there two sounds?
Because another Ikana in a bathrobe, just across from him, came out of the bathroom.

Ikana, who was wearing a bathrobe, was startled when she saw someone jumping out of the quilt suddenly, and couldn't help screaming.

The other Ikana, who was not wearing a bathrobe, was held in his arms.

She was suddenly attacked, and naturally she screamed in fright.

I saw an Ikana at the door of the bathroom, and I was holding an "Ikana" in my arms.

Abel naturally knew that he had definitely embraced the wrong person.

He was a little embarrassed, bowed his head stiffly.

"Ikana" in my arms, where is Ikana.

Obviously Paris Hilton.

Ten minutes after the chaos.

In the living room on the second floor.

"Feel sorry."

Abel looked at Paris Hilton with her pockets in order and apologized.

Sitting opposite him was Paris Hilton who looked a little shy and didn't dare to look at him. She lowered her head slightly and said:

"You didn't do it on purpose. You misunderstood me as Ikana. I don't blame you."

Beside him is the awkward and helpless Ikana.

"Okay~ That's the end of this matter." Abel smiled: "It's a bit late, Miss Hilton, I'm going up to rest."

After explaining, he didn't wait for the reaction of the two of them.

Abel got up directly and went to the master bedroom on the third floor.

He was in the master bedroom for about half an hour.

The door of the master bedroom was opened, and Ikana walked in.

He hugged Ikana directly and threw it on the big Simmons.

"When did your relationship with Paris become so good?"

After pressing up, Abel didn't immediately take the second step.

He asked curiously.

Ikana said helplessly: "Actually, we have always known each other. New York is only so big, how big can our circle be?"

"Okay." Abel nodded, "Then don't care about Paris. Honey, it's big again! I love them!"

Abel started his second move.

The next day, Abel's biological clock made him wake up automatically around seven o'clock.

As for Ikana.
It is estimated that she will sleep until noon before waking up.

After washing up in the master bedroom, he left the bedroom and went to the second floor.

In the restaurant, Abel saw Paris again.

"Good morning, Paris." Abel greeted with a smile, as if nothing that happened last night embarrassed him at all.

Paris seemed a little surprised to see him get up so early.

But the eldest lady of the Hilton family also responded quickly:
"Good morning, Abel."

"What do you want to eat?"

Abel sat down at the head of the table in the restaurant, and he asked Paris.

Next to him is Stephen, the personal chef who came to serve him first after seeing him appear.

Chef Stephen, previously worked at a Michelin-starred restaurant in New York.

The second time Abe and Ikana went on a date, it was at the restaurant where Stephen worked.

It was that time that Abel dug Stephen into the wall.

Later, he arranged for Stephen to work at [-] Thirteenth Road, Emperor Point, New York.

Later, Joanna was transferred to Manhattan to work by him.

Stephen also transferred to Manhattan to Abel.

It just so happened that Stephen used to be a private chef at Ikana's house.

Abel simply asked Stephen to work here at 63 East 8rd Street.

Paris lowered her head and said softly, "I can do anything."

Abel also let the chef arrange it casually.

For one breakfast, Abel ate extremely embarrassingly.

This made him eat quickly, and after eating, he talked to Paris Hilton and left quickly.

Around 09:30 am.

Abel came outside the Smith Building.

I didn't come to the company for a month.

His first feeling after coming to the company was that the number of vehicles parked in the parking lot in front of the company building had increased.

To be exact, the entire parking lot was full.

So much so that some cars were parked on the avenue outside the parking lot.

Obviously, during the time he didn't come back.

Smith Capital was hiring so many people that there were so many people coming to work that the parking lot couldn't fit.

Just because other people's cars can't fit, doesn't mean the boss's car can't fit.

In the entire parking lot, the few parking spaces closest to the door are always empty.

That is the parking space for the management, and there are two more parking spaces, which are dedicated to the Abel team.

After entering the company, Smith Capital is more lively than before.

In the entire Smith Capital, the total number of staff has never exceeded 130.

The entire building, the second and first floors, were previously empty.

The workshop and the trading hall are all set up on the third floor, and the whole building is very empty.

After returning to the company this time, he found that many changes had taken place in the company.

He was watching the company change.

Those employees in the company who found him back were looking at him.

The arrival of his boss, this Wall Street giant, and this symbol of Smith Capital.

It has long attracted the attention of all the employees of the company.

Some old Smith Capital employees shouted excitedly after seeing him appear:

"Hey! Our king is back! Smith Capital, pay tribute to our king!"

The old employees yelled and learned the knight rites in ancient Europe and the West, paying tribute to Abel.

The actions of these old employees made the new employees start to act immediately.

Finally, from the door to the elevator.

All the Smith employees on the road were saluting to Abel with the ancient European knight salute.

This made Abel dumbfounded.

At the same time, when Abel was taking the elevator, he saw many busy people on the first and second floors.

When Abel took the elevator and reached the fourth floor.

David Mellon, the general manager of Smith Capital, and Melio, the deputy general manager, have already led a group of senior executives to wait at the elevator entrance.

As soon as Abel came out, all he saw was David, they looked good, and Merio shouted loudly like an ancient courtier:
"Salute like our king~"

Then the executives of Smith Capital, like other employees downstairs.

A set of standard medieval European standard knight salutes came to Abel.

Abel: .
Soon, in Abel's office.

"How is it? I think this is very good."

"In our Smith Capital, you are the only king."

"We are all knights who charge forward for you in the country of capital."

"Knights should perform knight rituals to kings~"

"It was Meriot's proposal at the beginning. I found it very interesting later and asked everyone to have a meeting. Everyone agreed, and then that's it!"

"."

David's explanation made Abel finally know why all the old employees of Smith Capital today.

There is also the reason why new employees that Abel doesn't know will give him a knight salute.

To be honest, it's a bit of a second-guess to describe it in words.

But in it, everyone passing by treats themselves like a king.

It really made Abel feel like he was the king in this building.

Facing David's statement, Abel frowned, and said hesitantly, "I always think this is a bit weird."

"I don't think so." David said with a smile:
"Basically, the big investment banks and big financial companies on Wall Street will have their own strange traditions."

"Like Goldman Sachs, their tradition is that the vice president walks everywhere, and the president is not as good as a dog."

"Like Morgan Stanley, their tradition is that every Thursday, the whole company must drink afternoon tea, and there must be muffins in the afternoon tea."

"Like Lehman Brothers, their top executives like to play with the unspoken rules of the workplace~ well, it's better not to go to their company because they are pretty."

"Like Bear Stearns, they hold an internal sports competition on the first Monday in June every year."

"Like Bridgewater"

"."

David Mellon talked eloquently, talking about some industry secrets that even Abel didn't know.

"These are traditions. They probably have no serious use."

"But they are crucial to shaping the culture, rules, and spirit of an enterprise."

"Sometimes very useful."

David looked at Abel seriously:

"Smith Capital exists because of you. You are the king of this kingdom. Your role in Smith Capital is stronger than the creator."

"The Lord said we cannot create God in our lives."

"But we can follow the king in life~"

"We will be knights from now on, and you will be King Smith."
