America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 390

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

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

Two beauties who are charming and charming, even more sexy after pregnancy, are in front of them.

It can be eaten, but it cannot be eaten completely.

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 1, Abel finally left Santa Barbara.

Inside Qualcomm's headquarters in San Diego.

Erwin Jacobs and his son, Paul Jacobs.

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

Qualcomm headquarters in the suburbs of San Diego, a total of 11 buildings.

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

But let's not talk about these buildings, all of them are 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.

Qualcomm's various scientific research departments, 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 recovering. 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, and T-Mobile have successively laid out 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.

Smiling as a sign of encouragement, he acted as if he was the master here.

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

After Paul received his Ph.D. in 1989, he joined Qualcomm and started as a technical research and development personnel.

Now he is in a high position and 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 base station for communication operators' games and mobile e-mail services.

It's a pity that 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, to put it bluntly, often has creative inspiration in his mind, likes to take risks, has the courage to accept challenges, and always tries to do new research and development.

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

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

If you change 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.

The businesses in which Qualcomm lost money were basically dominated by Paul Jacobs.

Fortunately, his prodigal defeat was not very serious, and he didn't lose much every time.

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

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

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

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

Unlikely.

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

But the Smith Intelligence Group is not vegetarian.

The consultants have already passed various investigations and believed that Paul Jacob is not suitable to be the successor of Erwin 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, both in and out, revealed that he wanted his son to take over his class.

But Abel kept laughing and skipping the incident.

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 Jacobs is clearly such a second generation.

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

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

More than two hours later, it was already lunch.

Watch Abel's helicopter take 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 Jacobs just punched the leather sofa in the lounge area.

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 equity structure would have been a problem.

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.

Jacobs, 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 take over from his father and dominate the technology company is also difficult to achieve.

Today, Owen Jacob implicitly expressed his thoughts to Abel.

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 could be said to be very slim.

Smart people hold back.

But he is very smart, but greedy, or not reconciled to ordinary people.

It's not that easy to back down.

Facing his angry son, Owen Jacob was silent.

But 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's 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, Irving Jacob has always regarded Qualcomm as his territory.

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

Of course, he hoped that this "territory" could be passed on to his son.

In parallel time and space.

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

The inheritance of Irving Jacob was successfully completed.

Now facing Abel's oil and salt is not good.

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

"It really can't just be 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's mood improved, 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 hand, Abel has left San Diego.

He has two and a half companies in this city.

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

Before touring Qualcomm, he had been to two energy companies.

After touring Qualcomm, he naturally left San Diego.

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

It's just coming from New York not long ago, here to promote the first album of life, and at the same time go to Grammy's Avril Lavigne, Avril Lavigne.

Britney will be here tomorrow too.

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 has the hope of winning one, and it is an award that a singer only has one chance to win in a lifetime - 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 stepped forward to meet Abel.

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

In her scream of "haha", Abel walked towards the villa like carrying a primary school student.

"Put me down. You big stupid bear, 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 scent of shower gel, came out of Avril Lavigne's room.

The girl didn't come out, and she was exhausted from bearing it alone.

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

Abel, who only wore beach shorts, walked out of the villa, and in front of him was the vast sandy beach.

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, refreshed and refreshed.

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

Just smelling the slightly salty sea breeze, David Jones suddenly walked over.

The butler of the Smith family walked up to Abel and said softly:

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

"Say."

"Those underground rats acted a little uncleanly. They left some hand tails and 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 the 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, owns 65 percent of the magazine. Advanced has 20 percent."

After hearing this information.

Abel knew why such a "little matter", 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 Abel, a big tree, can shelter her and the gang of migrant workers who follow her.

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

At the same time, it is possible for Smith Media to obtain a new fashion magazine with an influence no less than that of "VOGUE".

Abel, 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?
Even if you are afraid of this, then what kind of big tree is it!
After gaining his support.

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

Her words were actually quite gentle. The original words were:
"Mr. Shi Yi Newhouse is quite wise, but his younger brother Donald Newhouse is not so good."

This sentence is not very offensive.

The problem is Anna Wintour, the editor-in-chief of VOGUE magazine, a property owned by the Newhouse family.

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

You must know that Shi Yi Newhouse, the head of the Newhouse family, has created a famous "fashion Christmas banquet" 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 and left hands of the Newhouse family actually said such a thing, it naturally has to make people imagine.

Of course, the Newhouse family will not take this matter lightly.

There are no impervious walls in the world.

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

After investigation, it was easy to find that Anna Wintour dared to show her teeth to her original owner only after she got close to the big tree of Abel Smith.

Abe received an invitation to meet with Shiyi Newhouse soon after.

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 was going to kill Newhouse's parents.

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

Then simply disappear.

Smith thinks so too.

Since then, there is no doubt that the Newhouse family has regarded Abel and Smith Media, as well as other companies in the Smith family, as rivals.

Abel knew those rats, after being photographed by a reporter from The New Yorker while they were doing things.

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."

The pace and plan of Lincoln, the big black man, was the plan 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 bright side, this matter cannot be related to Abel.

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

If someone dared to start this, it would 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, it's just that some things, cat owners, find it more convenient for mice to do.

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

Abel is also one of the "owners of cats".

Others could kill the rat that was 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 a certain Eppy Island incident.

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

Something that everyone does, or a lot of 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 tail of the hand is clean.

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

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

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

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

But 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 had to consider whether they could be his mice.

A cat owner who can't keep a mouse on his own errands.

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

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

If the Newhouse family can kill these rats in front of Abel.

That can be regarded as an indirect revenge on Abel.

At the moment of Anna Wintour's job-hopping.

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