Chapter 119

Abel is naturally aware of his inclusion on the Forbes list. Since the Robert Morgenthau case. Privately, Abel asked Merriot to create a special division within Smith Capital. Normal work of this department it tracks all the news related to Abel in the market. Including but not limited to issues, rumors, scandals, rumors and good news. Abel also asked David Jones to cooperate with Merio to jointly establish this department. This type of department is not uncommon in large companies. It must be said that all large companies, including medium-sized companies, will have this department. Same with the public relations department It's just that the department that Abel let these two set up was one that was ahead of similar departments at other companies. This is a division of Smith Capital that goes beyond traditional public relations methods. Abel asked Melio and David Jones to focus and develop the power of the Internet. That was in 2000, even though the Nasdaq bubble had burst. Most Internet companies in the world are at rock bottom. But what burst was just a bubble, what was destroyed were only Internet companies. The global Internet does not fail for this reason. Compared to 1998 and 1999, Internet users worldwide also increased by 36%. Currently, in 2000, the number of Internet users worldwide is approximately 260 million people. The United States employs 110 million people (another figure is 95 million). Whether it's 110 million or 95 million, it's clearly a terrible number. At that time, the US population was only 282 million people. Whatever the data, it shows that one-third of Americans are Internet users. This is scary data, Because this means that public opinion and public opinion can already be manipulated on the Internet. This division created by Smith Capital will fulfill the majority of its functions. is to join and become the first established Internet company in history. This was Abel's request and also the central idea he gave to David Jones and Merio to build this department. This organ exists even when its entire body is not yet formed. But Abel is on the rich list and ranks very high. Of course, he quickly understood and informed Abel. Regarding this issue, Abel always has a relatively positive attitude. Mainly because he's thinking about some of his next moves and projects. If your reputation and positive influence is great enough. If it can be done more easily, then this reputation will naturally be good. After making a gesture. The somewhat rudimentary "Department of Communications and Public Relations" also began to give Abel Smith a good image on the Internet in the United States. Next step. American Internet, Many famous charity workers have "accidentally" leaked internal donation lists. In these lists, Abel Smith will always be at the top. A little observant American Internet user will suddenly discover: Abe Smith, the new richest person, has donated money to various charities this year, amounting to a staggering amount. After that, interested American internet users will continue to explore. Abel Smith was not only the richest American but also the most giving person. He is also a strong supporter of the IRS and his taxes alone exceed those of Goldman Sachs, Citigroup and other major corporations. Here are inspirational stories from his childhood as well as interesting stories about how he became successful. It will gradually be discovered by "interested Internet users" and will have to wait a few months for everyone to know. On the forums of the main portals are widely distributed, ranked, popular and appreciated. Everyone will be surprised to know this. Abel Smith is a person with positive energy and a sense of social responsibility. Both are very rich, only the super rich have a success story that completely matches the American dream! And all of this will be the main work of this new department in the next period. Among them, the first position on the Forbes list is like blowing the trumpet for this position. Preliminary preparations began as the Manhattan District Attorney's Office entered Smith Capital. Of course. These suites are the work of Melio and David Mellon. Abel only occasionally checks the progress of his work. Also on the positive side, be supportive. This support includes but is not limited to providing capital. Because he knew, if he really wanted to do all of this, he couldn't rely on the navy alone. The Navy is not omnipotent, the most terrifying is the powerful dog. No matter how strong the Navy is, if it meets the end of the mighty dog, everything will be like foam. There are many Internet regulatory agencies in the United States, and the most powerful is of course the US government. Second, they are Internet giants. These giants can influence and even control the network. Today, in 2000, the worthy Internet giants are Yahoo and Microsoft. Twitter and Facebook, which will be great in the future, don't even have prototypes yet. Today, most American Internet users still visit the forums of all major websites. Collect information, mainly through portals. The two largest information portals in the US are Microsoft and Yahoo. Microsoft and Yahoo, as well as Google are very famous now. There's also Twitter and Facebook, which have no prototypes and are both located in California. In Texas, Abel stayed for more than a week. After solving so many problems, he did not wait for new communication from the Texan team. Determined not to wait any longer, he plans to proceed step by step according to his plan. It's good that the Texas group can accept each other. If he doesn't accept it, he can do everything himself! He left for California, which was the first time in his life. That evening, Annie saw Abel make the Forbes list. A Delta Air Lines Gulfstream G400 slowly lands at San Francisco International Airport. The airport is a Class 4F international airport and major aviation hub, located approximately eight miles north of downtown San Francisco. San Francisco has a more familiar name on the Chinese side. It's in China and called San Francisco. The roar of the two Rolls-Royce engines of the Gulfstream G400 gradually subsided, and a few minutes later the plane door opened. The car elevator connection was completed earlier, and Abel walked straight out of the hatch. Texas is approaching October and it gets a little chilly in the evenings. It's almost October but the evenings in San Francisco are not cold. And it's not hot, the temperature is suitable, even with the afternoon sun shining in, it's still very pleasant. This made Abel, who was used to the four-season climate of the Southern and Eastern United States, feel like he had come to the right place. After getting off the plane, Abel quickly left the airport. Outside the airport, David Jones and Rock's security staff arrived two days earlier than him and prepared the convoy to head to the West Coast. As is customary, most Cadillac Lincolns are paired with a more reliable Toyota Sequoia as a tool cart. After getting into the new Cadillac STS that David Jones bought for him on the West Coast. Abel said to David Jones in the passenger seat: "Have you contacted Isaac Perlmutter?" "BOSS. Contacted." David watched Edward sitting in the driver's seat start the car and immediately replied to Abel: "Mr. Perlmutter, I'm waiting for you at the Hilton Hotel in downtown San Francisco." Abel nodded: "Then you go first, Edward, let's drive." "GOOD." Edward, who was temporarily the passenger's driver, held the wireless radio next to him and communicated with the team. After a few seconds, A convoy of more than seven vehicles slowly turned onto the main road and left San Francisco International Airport. The airport has Airport Boulevard directly connected to the city center. On the way, just take Airport Boulevard. Accompanied by a warm red sunset over San Francisco, the motorcade approached downtown San Francisco as night fell and the lights came on. I just arrived downtown, occasionally looking out the window at the cars passing by. Abel couldn't help but frown. David Jones, who sat in the cockpit, focused most of his attention on the captain. Look at the boss looking out the window with this expression. David Jones immediately said: "Boss, do you think downtown San Francisco is a bit dark?" Abel looked away from the window and looked at David. The two people in the car were both his most trusted subordinates. He was not afraid of being heard, so he said directly: "Isn't it a bit dark?" Almost all black, right? I noticed there weren't many white people on the street, mostly Mr. Nee. » "Ha~" David Jones smiled bitterly, "Yeah, you're right. But here on the West Coast. At night, the closer to the city center, the more Nee brothers there are. It's a normal thing. " "It's not just San Francisco, it's also downtown Los Angeles." Abel was a bit surprised because this had never happened in Texas and New York. Texas in 2000 had not yet begun to make a splash. The black population is quite large, but due to the power of white people, it can be considered the most docile black population in America. Over there in New York, Abel operates primarily in Manhattan. When it appears in other regions, it often flies directly by helicopter. Manhattan, because the New York government takes this issue very seriously. So there were black people, but it certainly didn't look like downtown San Francisco. Obviously, next to it are busy buildings, high-rise buildings and steel forests. But underneath these bustling beautiful buildings there are a lot of black people, homeless people, etc., dying everywhere. David Jones added: "It's different from the East Coast, the South and the Central region. On the West Coast, the closer you are to the city center, the more dangerous it is at night." "The wealthy neighborhoods here are all outside the city center." Hearing David's somewhat confusing explanation, Abel immediately understood what he meant. In other words, on the West Bank, the closer you are to the city center, the safer you are. It's the opposite of the East Coast and the South Coast. Partnered with several affluent neighborhoods in San Francisco and Los Angeles, all of which are far from the city center. And the most famous companies are also far from the city center. Abel understood this. "GOOD." "I see, this suddenly makes me want to go to the Hilton," Abel said. "The area where the Hilton hotel is located remains in good condition." "You don't need to worry about security," says David Jones. » Plus, you always have a lot of bodyguards with you at all times. It is estimated that the gang members here have formed a group to attack, and will not be able to face your bodyguard group for a while! Downtown San Francisco at night can be a bit dangerous for the average person. For you, the danger really isn't that great! Of course David would not say these words, the devil can flatter, and they also know what an honorable person is. Around 6:30 p.m., Abel's motorcade arrived at the Hilton Hotel in downtown San Francisco. There are security guards and people organized by David waiting here. No need for hotel doormen or parking lot patrons to come and help you. Some of our men went up to him, opened the door for Abel, and greeted him. While calling and hugging each other, Abel and the others quickly entered the Hilton hotel. He did not choose to return to the previous room but went straight to the restaurant located on the 4th floor of the Hilton hotel. At the restaurant, he met Isaac Perlmutter, whom he had not seen for several days. It's been a few days since I last saw you, compared to before. Isaac Perlmutter's mental state appeared to be much worse. "Ha~Mr. Perlmutter, you don't look very well." Abel Dama Jindao, along with Edward and David, sat right in front of Isaac Perlmutter. Isaac Perlmutter had long ago seen Abel enter and stood up to greet him. Looking at Abel sitting down, he finished saying this sentence. Isaac Perlmutter had a wry smile on his face, and at the same time, a trace of resentment and helplessness flashed deep in his eyes. "Mr. Smith ~" Isaac Perlmutter said somewhat gloomily: "Actually, you don't need to do this at all. Even if you don't, I'm still thinking about selling Marvel to you." "Open?" Abel pretended to be confused and said: "Mr. Perlmutter, what do you mean?" I don't understand what you are saying. Seeing Abel's "arrogance", old man Isaac Perlmutter really wanted to say "FXXKYOU". But Isaac Perlmutter knew better than to do that, it would only make things worse. Previously, many of Isaac's subordinates considered him an unscrupulous capitalist. Isaac didn't feel anything special about being scolded. But now he wants to be like his former subordinates, calling the young man in front of him a "disgusting capitalist." The reason is that Isaac Perlmutter went through many channels. Know about stock investment losses, venture capital crisis, capital chains about to be broken, etc. that I am currently facing. The reason for all this. At least two-thirds were led from the start by young people. The remaining third is because Isaac's recent investment policy is too drastic and impatient. "Oh~" I took a deep breath and exhaled slowly. Isaac Perlmutter, who was prepared, said simply: "One hundred million dollars, Mr. Smith, I'm willing to sell Marvel to you!" Listen to what I most want to hear from Isaac Perlmutter. Abe smiled brightly. He said: "Ha~ What a surprise for me. But I have to say, Mr. Perlmutter, this is good news for me. Seeing that he was still on air, Isaac Perlmutter tried to endure the feeling of nausea and anger in his heart and continued: "I have convinced the majority of shareholders, but about 35% do not want to. This part must be convinced by you." "airy." Abel smiled and said, "No problem." (end of this chapter)
