America's Road to Wealth

San Francisco Bay Area.

"This one is a Bay Area view villa, covering an area of ​​3.51 acres, with a living area of ​​7894 square feet, 6 bedrooms, 6 bathrooms, and a gym..."

"It's a palace-style decoration again!"

Amanda Hearst frowned slightly, looked at the luxury villa in front of her, and interrupted a smiling person in charge of the New Start real estate company who was in a cold voice, and completely lost interest in continuing to look at it.

"Give me the picture album." Amanda asked for the picture album with a cold expression on her fair and pretty face, and quickly flipped through it while the people from Xinqidian Real Estate Company waited carefully.

The person sent by the new starting point real estate company is a middle-aged woman.

She holds a high position in New Start Real Estate Company, one of the top ten real estate groups in the United States, and is the general manager of the company's San Francisco Bay Area.

It's just that the way she looks at Amanda at this moment is full of curiosity and envy in awe.

In particular, her eyes frequently fell on Amanda's fully bulging belly, which could be seen for some time!

She thought, this must be that blood!

This lady is still surnamed Hearst, so she should be the Hearst from Hearst Media.

So she felt that the child in Amanda's belly must be extremely noble.

She had to be very cautious and respectful in front of Amanda.

Amanda flipped through the album quickly, then found a picture, pointed to it and said, "Go and see this building."

After finishing speaking, he returned the album to the female manager, stepped on the flat shoes, turned around and walked back to the car, bent down and sat in the black Cadillac.

The female manager with a wry smile also trotted back to her car, started the car, and led the way.

Amanda, who was sitting in the Cadillac compartment, had a calm expression on her face.

It has been half a month since she came to California from Washington with Abel.

When he first arrived that day, in Beverly Hills, Abel held his two children and gave one of them a happy smile on his birthday that Amanda still remembers.

He really loves kids!

From then on, the trace of hesitation and confusion since pregnancy completely disappeared from Amanda's heart.

To bear him a child, Amanda is now sure that she did nothing wrong.

Not long after that, Abel communicated with her once.

The content is very simple, her belly is already very big, and she will give birth in two or three months

Continuing to work with such a big child will undoubtedly be hard work and a little dangerous.

Abel thought it was time for her to have a baby.

And assure her that after she can continue to work after giving birth, she can still go to any position she likes, including the position of general secretary and great secretary.

Amanda agreed.

She did feel hard work, the child seemed to be a bit nutritious and relatively big, and being a mother was also hard work.

Then she chose a place to raise her baby in the San Francisco Bay Area, one of the places with the best climate in the United States.

Today, Abel arranged for the person from the New Start real estate company to accompany her in choosing a villa in the San Francisco Bay Area for later childcare.

First, choose from the properties owned by New Start Real Estate Company.

If you are not satisfied, look at other companies, in short, make her satisfied.

Having said that, even if you are a member of the Hearst family.

She has never experienced the feeling of randomly picking a mansion worth tens of millions of dollars.

Today has been picking all morning, and now it is afternoon.

She didn't feel tired walking around with a big belly, but she never got tired of it. It can only be said that women are like this, when shopping, they have endurance and energy buff bonuses.

Another mansion.

In front of the modern-style independent villa with sea view and mountain view, the female manager carefully looked at the expression on Amanda's face, and found that the expression looked much better, so she couldn't help but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

She didn't expect the beautiful little pregnant woman in front of her to be so difficult and difficult to serve. Looking at her in a subtle and low-key dark blue suit, a complete set of tops and skirts, and open sleeves, the combination of tradition and modern features made her look even more attractive. Sparkle.

A large wave of hair falls to one side, adding to the delicate charm.

Black silk and mermaid skirt can be called a perfect match, especially for such a tall, mature beauty with unusually exquisite curves, once she puts on this style of skirt, it is equivalent to the deadliest temptation.

The white shirt, embroidered with special red flowers on the neckline, subtracted from the monotony, and the bulging belly gave her a more mature taste, which is simply amazing.

Walking slowly in the mansion decorated in an ultra-modern style, looking at the translucent floor-to-ceiling windows, the panoramic view, the metal kitchen, the luxurious marble bathroom, the oversized bathtub, and the big Simmons in the bedroom that almost occupies the entire room.

Amanda was finally satisfied, her beautiful brows raised involuntarily, and she turned to the female manager and said, "That's it, how much is it worth?"

The female manager quickly breathed a sigh of relief, "The market price is 13.5 million US dollars!"

Amanda frowned, feeling a little cheap.

But she is also very clear, don't look at this as a luxury residential area in the San Francisco Bay Area. But in terms of price, it really can't compare to places like Beverly Hills and Manhattan.

But she really liked this villa very much, so she "reluctantly" accepted its "cheap" shortcomings, and chose this villa anyway.

In the evening, Abel, who had just finished a meeting, walked into his office while thinking about the problem.

"Boss, I'm back."

"Huh? How about it? Are you looking forward to it? You have been looking at houses for two days. If you really can't do it, just look at the houses on the market."

Abel took off his suit, looked at Amanda with a chuckle and teased.

Amanda took the suit, hung it on the hanger, and said gruffly:

"After all, I'm going to live in the future for a long time, so I can't pick someone I don't like. But today I met someone I like, and I've already picked it!"

Speaking of which, Amanda also opened the picture album of the villa to Abel, and put it on the table to introduce him page by page.

"Okay, it's not bad, that's it, we'll move in today. We'll stay in San Francisco for a few days, and we'll go back to Los Angeles next month."

After Abel nodded and finished speaking, he watched Amanda happily decorate their "home".

Abel shook his head with a smile, took a folder, opened it and began to look at the files.

It is now late July, and he has been in California for more than half a month.

Everything is going well with Ikana, and Twitter is developing in an orderly manner. It’s just that Google has some criticisms. They think Twitter’s model is very good, and they want to develop similar businesses, but they are rejected by Abel, the largest shareholder.

But Abel always came in and gave a candied date with a stick.

He promised to give Google a certain percentage of Twitter stock in the second round of financing. In this way, Google has become a shareholder of Twitter, and everyone can earn money together.

But although the Internet is very profitable, compared with Abel's "old business", it is really nothing.

Recently, international crude oil prices, which were stabilized by the United States in the past two years, have risen again.

A few days ago, it broke through $60, the highest price in history, which once triggered a sharp drop in global stock markets.

Abel has been prepared for this, and even he is partly responsible for the global stock market downturn.

Smith Capital became a big short and made a fortune.

If Google and Twitter only rely on profit for this sum of money, I don’t know how long it will take to make it back.

But not just simply making money, Abel also wants to take this opportunity to spend a lot of money to brush up the presence of Tesla electric vehicles.

This new energy company with a valuation of more than 20 billion yuan has become less and less popular since the last time he and Buffett had a toss.

The product that can be launched recently is finally coming out soon, and Abel intends to help it brush up the popularity.

Just in time for a sharp rise in oil prices, of course we can't let it go.

This round of "big bull market" in oil prices began at the beginning of this year. It soared from more than US$30 per barrel at that time to a maximum of US$61, and it is now around US$58.

The conclusion given to Abel by the Smith Intelligence Group is that, measured by the increase in oil prices of the three previous oil crises, this round of oil price increases has constituted a new oil crisis, which is also an important reason for the U.S. economy to fall into recession and the global economy to slow down. one.

Even strictly speaking, it is also one of the reasons for the formation of the subprime mortgage crisis and the financial crisis in the parallel time and space.

Oil crisis, energy crisis. For Tesla, this is simply a godsend marketing opportunity.

These days, it's only when people are in a crisis and the price of oil is so high that they can't afford it.

People will pay more attention to renewable energy and environmental protection energy, and the replacement of petroleum.

Abel has been nestling in the San Francisco Bay Area for the past two days, staying more with Tesla.

A meeting will be held every day to brainstorm marketing plans and publicity methods, brainstorm to find new ideas, and then immediately choose to implement them.

Under the influence of geopolitics, major oil-producing countries have repeatedly refused to increase production.

Many media and institutions even predicted sadly that the future oil price may break through 80 US dollars per barrel.

Abel thought to himself, $80 is nothing. If you continue to go on, $100 is just a cloud, and even more is a very simple matter.

However, although the publicity has begun now, the launch of Tesla products will have to wait until the end of this year or the beginning of next year.

Therefore, the hot spot of publicity is mainly at the end of the year. Abel even directly asked MGM to start shooting the "Fast and Furious" movie.

At that time, let the new energy vehicles show off, even if it is a bit of science fiction, it doesn't matter.

At the same time, the other films of the group, which are only related to cars, can also be slightly modified and shown in the new energy car show.

Speaking of movies, the two guys, Robert and the soul of Marvel, have not given up hope of letting Abel participate in Marvel movies.

So much so that according to Abel's vision, Iron Man, who was supposed to be the c-biter who came out earlier, hasn't been filmed yet, and has been stuck in the screenwriter's book.

It can only be said that these two people are really persistent.

But it's understandable, because Abel is really willing to take the filming.

That's just his starring role, which is estimated to increase the global box office by about US$1 billion.

Not to mention there are numerous other unseen benefits.

Then they naturally still want to work hard to achieve it.
