Chapter 101

Long Island, New York,

Morning sunlight streamed into the elder Simmons' bedroom through the large floor-to-ceiling windows.

A young man fell asleep in the luxurious Simmons, large enough to accommodate five or six people.

and two young women.

During sleep, the human face is illuminated by the sun, like the sleeping god Apollo in Western mythology.

The face has no flaws, beautiful and sophisticated. Compared to him, there are two very beautiful women next to him.

In comparison, it's a bit worse.

Suddenly, the man's thin eyelashes trembled slightly.

Then, he opened his eyes and unconsciously raised his hand to block the sunlight.

"Oh~~"

Abel sighed, looking at the fallen curtains. I just remembered,

I had a great time last night.

Carmen Kath was playing by the window, screaming and tearing down woolen curtains that sold for more than three thousand dollars at Sam's Club.

So this morning there were no curtains.

Sunlight can shine directly into the bedroom, waking Abel.

Pillow after pushing sleepy and overworked Gisele Bundchen away. Under the pillow is a cell phone that was randomly stuffed last night.

Taking out his phone, closing his eyes and looking at it, Abel realized it was only seven o'clock in the morning.

Apparently last night all three of them played into the second half of the evening.

It was about four o'clock when he fell asleep.

However, now I only get about three hours of sleep. Abel discovered that his nature was energetic and filled with limitless power.

Beautiful figure, excessive appetite.

This is the change that Abel discovered in himself after his resurrection.

This change is as significant as his "talent" in the financial field.

This is reflected in physical fitness. In addition to great strength, he also possesses great resilience and endurance.

However, there are two examples in good condition.

Even if there was thunder near them right now, they probably wouldn't be able to wake up.

They are so tired.

"Oh~~"

Sighing, he picked up his cell phone and stood up from the bed. Anything that smells in the nose has a special smell.

Last night I had so much fun, I had it everywhere.

The natural flavor is great.

After that, I didn't wash it so it smelled bad, that's normal.

Shaking his head, he climbed straight out of the large white-spotted bed. Holding his cell phone, Abel walked out of the room without looking at Gisele Bundchen and Carmen Kath behind him.

Outside the bedroom is a small living room.

When Abel came out.

Joanna, the housekeeper of Villa No. 1, Huangdian Road 13, led two maids to stand in front of the door one after another, carrying breakfast and clothes.

Joanna's eyes turned to BOSS's toned body. She then lowered her eyelids to stare at a mirrored ornament to Abel's left.

"Sir, do you want to eat breakfast first or shower and change clothes first?" Joanna said.

Compared to Joanna, there are two young maids behind her, and their appearance is not bad.

His gaze will be more direct, and the look he looks at Abel will be even more provocative.

It's like he's saying, "We're not much worse than the other two, right?"

And through the reflection of the small decorative mirror, Joanna saw the eyes of the two maids. In his heart, the butler had listed these two maids on his training list.

You may be ambitious, but you cannot be disqualified from service.

Unless the owner needs it.

Otherwise it is a violation of the housekeeper's rules.

This was Joanna's request to the boss's personal maid under her direction. "You take a shower first and then change your clothes. I'll shower first."

"The bathroom in the room was a bit messy and in poor condition," said Abel. It can only be washed on the outside.

"Okay, are you going to swim in the pool or take a shower?" Joanna repeated.

"Let's go take a shower."

Ten minutes later. In another room of the mansion, in a bathroom that was at least forty square meters large.

Abel was lying in the bathtub, next to two beautiful young maids. Two beautiful young servants, one helped him bathe, the other fed him breakfast.

He took a sip of soy milk and asked the maid to wipe the corners of his mouth for him.

"Oh~"

Abel sighed. This wonderful and pleasant life of a true capitalist is not boring at all.

Even though it's boring and tedious, it makes people enjoy it. "Joanna, write a check to both girls later."

Abel said.

"Understood, sir, what number should I enter?"

"Okay, if I don't make it clear later, I will write 100,000 USD."

"airy."

Here he is, half an hour later. At eight o'clock in the morning, Abel was in a good mood, put on a suit and boarded the helicopter to Manhattan.

After half an hour of flight, the helicopter landed at the helipad located on the top floor of the Simpson Building in Manhattan.

Similar aprons exist on the upper floors of many buildings in Manhattan. Indeed, in Manhattan, many people travel by helicopter every day.

Most of these people live on Long Island. Some live farther away, even living in New Jersey.

Of course.

The net worth of each of these people is calculated in "billions". Otherwise, they couldn't afford to fly helicopters to and from Manhattan's upper platforms.

This time, Abel's helicopter lands on a building called the Simpson Building. In Manhattan, where there are many high-rise buildings, the Simpson Building is very ordinary.

It has 61 floors and each floor's construction area is about 15,000 square feet.

After Abel took off his apron on the top floor of the Simpson building, he went straight to the 43rd floor of the building. It was formerly the weekly New York Observer, an office shared with another company.

That company canceled its lease last month, and only the New York Observer leased it a week ago. But just yesterday, another newspaper also set up shop here.

It shares this floor with the New York Observer, known as The New York Sun.

It was a newspaper that was established very early. Published on September 3, 1833, Benjamin Day was its founder and editor-in-chief and its slogan was: "To Shine for All."

This is also the origin of the newspaper's name.

This newspaper was the first commercial newspaper in the United States based on business principles and was also the first "Penny Newspaper". This means that the selling price is one penny or one cent, which is why it is also called a penny journal.

"New York Sun" has undergone more than 100 years of development since its founding. In the middle it will shine once, fall once, then shine again, then fall again.

The experience of this newspaper can be considered an abridged history of the entire American journalism industry.

It changed names for a while and finally, in 1996, it became the "New York Sun" again. But at that time it was just a newspaper in addition to its name.

It has no real connection to the original "New York Sun". The revived "New York Sun" has been working hard for several years.

Currently in New York, daily sales are around 30,000 to 40,000 copies.

Counting sales across New York State, daily sales could be closer to 90,000 to 100,000 copies. His boss quoted 18 million USD, a relatively cheap price.

Because behind that is a debt that must be paid of nearly tens of millions of dollars. Currently there are two newspapers: New York Sun and New York Observer.

Not only do they live in the same office building, but they also have the same boss.

The boss is of course Abel Smith. Abel went to the 43rd floor of the Simpson Building and exited the elevator.

The editors-in-chief of the two newspapers and management staff were already standing at the elevator door. Melio, deputy general manager of Smith Capital, stood in front of everyone.

After the elevator door opened, the first person Abel saw was Merio.

"Hello chef." The middle-aged or older white man, chubby Merio, immediately greeted the boss with a warm smile. "Hello, Merio." Please look at this excellent employee with a kind heart.

Abel responded with a smile. If David Mellon was Abel's right-hand man in New York.

Merio was then his essential left-hand man in New York.

In terms of high-end investments and relationships, Merio is no match for Mellon's David. But when it comes to New York, there are also many inexplicable connections.

Merio is even better. That's why Abel will decorate the company's new headquarters and handle financial accounting and other tasks right from the start of buying the newspaper.

Everything was entrusted to him and Merio did everything well.

This pleased Abel. Welcomed by Meriot, the management and important staff of the "New York Observer" and "New York Sun" welcomed the boss.

Melio also introduced the identities of these people to Abel. ".This is Dylan, editor of the New York Observer."

".This is Lewis, editor of the New York Sun."

".This is Alex, the New York Observer."

"."

Merio eloquently introduced Abel to dozens of main characters from the two newspapers.

Melio does not introduce other important people from the newspaper.

Abel didn't bother to ask. After introductions and handshakes, everyone entered the company.

Because they have the same owner, the two newspapers now have their own reception counters, creating a relatively large reception room. The reception room is still under renovation but is large enough to accommodate the executives of the two newspapers.

Today, both newspapers have more than 20 executives, editors and senior staff.

Everyone in the room raised their heads to look at their common master. This kind of scene was just a small scene for Abel.

Before time travel, when he was in high school and college. But they are the type of people who dare to speak on stage in front of thousands of classmates.

Furthermore, after the resurrection, there are hundreds of millions of net assets left to rely on.

Even when asked to speak at the White House, he was not pressured. Looking towards the crowd, Abel said directly:

"At age 20, I had no relevant experience in the publishing industry."

"But now I have two of the best tools an editor can have: great people and a curiosity to break the mold."

"Plus, I have abilities that other editors don't have."

"I want to ask what kind of ability this is."

"I'll tell you, it's financial ability."

"But."

After speaking, he changed the subject, his smiling face turned cold.

"Last time you failed to manage the New York Sun and New York Observer."

"I have your data in hand. The data shows that the "New York Sun" can only maintain a monthly balance of payments, with no surplus.

The New York Observer failed even more, losing between $200,000 and $300,000 per month. "

"Those two numbers, not including New York. Even if they are published in the national press, you are still a loser. »

His cruel words, revealing the short words of these people, made the laughing people even more embarrassed.

Abel is the boss again. At that time, they really did not smile and did not laugh.

Facing these employees, Abel was also lazy to talk and continued directly:

"Currently, 'New York Sun' and 'New York Observer' are directly owned by the company [AB Smith Newspapers]."

"Then I will invest $50 million in AB Smith newspaper."

"This fifty million dollars is the fund for the revival of the New York Sun and the New York Observer, and this is your chance, too."

"It's up to you whether you take the opportunity or not. But remember, my company doesn't accept losers."

"It's simple."

"CURRENTLY."

Abel looked at Merio and then said to the latter: "Let the editors of the two newspapers meet me. By the way, where is my office?

Melio hurriedly took Abel to the president's office that had been prepared for him a long time ago.

A renovated room in the luxurious office of Arthur Carter, boss of the first "New York Observer." In this office, Abel only saw Louis and Dylan shaking hands once.

The first person is the editor-in-chief of the "New York Sun" and the second person is the editor-in-chief of the "New York Observer".

Looking at the two editors walking in with somewhat cautious expressions on their faces. Abel said in a neutral tone:

"Invite you two in, mainly explain the direction of the next article."

"Okay, Dylan, first tell me what you think the New York Observer should do next," Abel said. Dylan is an old white man in his fifties, just like Louis.

Now, in 2000, zzzq isn't as serious anymore and it's a place like New York.

People with high positions naturally become whiter.

Dylan had some doubts, the editor said in a deep voice:

"I think the next New York Observer should still focus on the original roadmap."

The New York Observer, a weekly newspaper, still focuses on real estate, economics and politics. It was a more serious and positive week. This is why it is recognized by the majority of New York's elite and is a must-have in every field.

He's just too focused on news from New York and the East Coast.

Relatively indifferent to current events in the United States and around the world.

But that's also where its value lies. There's nothing wrong with being serious, positive, and sociable. The reason it hasn't been able to expand is because it's focused on New York.

This also ties into the lack of strength of the original boss, Arthur Carter.
