Chapter 124

Chapter 124: Charlize Theron's South African diamond Fortunately, it was later discovered that it was not a shooting. Minutes later, Two bodyguards, Lincoln and Lin, are escorting a man. Abel recognized this man as one of the real guests at the two tables in the restaurant just now. Each table has only one guest. After confirming safety, Abel did not leave his original position. He looked at Lin and Lincoln, then at the man being escorted. Finally, he looked at Edward. Edward immediately said softly: "Lin just found this guy and his camera was pointed here." It was a camera, not a gun, Abel breathed a sigh of relief. He claimed he was not the elementary school student with the dead body and did not know where the shooting took place. "How are you?" » Abel asked gently. Lin gave Edward the video camera that the man was supposed to take. Edward had surgery for a while and discovered a negative film of Anne Hathaway and Abel secretly taking photos inside. The man who didn't seem panicked after being escorted finally spoke: "You can't do this. I'm a reporter for Happy Hollywood Daily. You're interfering with my right to be interviewed and the media's right to know! It's illegal for you to do this!" His voice was a bit loud, the whole restaurant could hear it. Actually, there's no need to shout so loudly. Late night restaurant, There is a lot of movement here, everyone can see it. A restaurant employee, perhaps the lobby manager, came to inquire about the situation. She was simply stymied by Abel's arrangements for Johnson. Edward responded kindly to his boss. "In addition to the negative photos of you and Miss Anne, there are also photos of the guests sitting at this table." After listening to Edward's words, Abel instinctively looked towards the real guests sitting at another table in the restaurant. Then he looked at Edward again. "I'll take care of it here. Annie and I will start." Being disturbed like that, he lost all interest in continuing to eat here. "Nothing." Edward answered directly. Two more bodyguards came to replace Lin and Lincoln. Abel stood up directly, held Anne Hathaway's hand and left the restaurant under the escort of Lin and other bodyguards. Half an hour later, In the living room of another suite on the top floor of the Four Seasons hotel. Edward came to report and told Abel the whole incident. The matter is very simple, that is, this man named Steve is indeed a reporter for a newspaper. That's a euphemism, they call him a journalist, but in reality he's just a paparazzi among paparazzi. Paparazzi Steve, the reason you appeared at the Four Seasons hotel restaurant Still at this time tonight, because he has relatives who work at the restaurant. This relative discovered that a famous person came to the restaurant. It happened that Steve came to him with something and he told Steve about it. Steve immediately pretended to be a hotel guest and went to eat at the restaurant. His real goal was of course to take some photos of the star. It would be great if you could achieve great success. Of course, the star here does not refer to Anne Hathaway. Anne Hathaway is currently in Hollywood, which is a little better than 18th Line. It can be considered the fourth or fifth line. Except for late last year and early this year, thanks to her first TV series "First Love Experience", she has appeared in tabloids many times. She may appear in this year's diary because she became the main female character in The Princess Diaries. Disney's promotion and distribution department intentionally prepared some exposure opportunities for the film's future release. Not only that, she also looks more charming and radiant than many Hollywood stars. She's not famous. Coincidentally, she was not well known but Steve happened to be one of the journalists who could recognize her. Keep in mind that one sheep can be sheared and two sheep can be sheared. When taking photos of the star, Steve also discreetly pointed the camera in that direction. At this moment, Annie enthusiastically rushed into Abel, making Steve's eyes light up. I guess Steve is already thinking about tomorrow's title by now. - "Hollywood N-line actress throws herself at a big, strong man at night" It's just that Steve had just taken two photos before being discovered by the experts here. Later, Lin and Lincoln go to arrest people and Edward interrogates them. "GOOD." Abel was a bit speechless: "Have you erased all the negatives?" Edward nodded: "It's been deleted. Furthermore, the manager of the Four Seasons Hotel is also outside at this time. He wants to apologize to you." At a luxury hotel like the Four Seasons, such mistakes still happen. The hotel manager will rush to apologize immediately, which is also expected. If this story is exposed, it is estimated that no famous people will come to this Four Seasons hotel in the future. In the event of a major disruption, the reputation of the entire Four Seasons Hotel could be affected to some degree in the short term. "Ignore him." Abel was also dissatisfied with the Four Seasons hotel and this experience left him with a negative impression of the hotel. But he was curious about something else: "By the way. Edward, the other star that the paparazzi followed and took pictures of was definitely a guest at another table, right? Who is that?" Edward said: "After that, the other party also sent someone to inquire. It's a female star named Charlize Theron and her assistant." "Charlize Theron?" Abel, who didn't feel much at first, suddenly became interested. "Yes. It's definitely Charlize Theron." Edouard confirms: "Even though I haven't met her in person. But his assistant and the paparazzi said so. » "GOOD." Abel felt a bit regretful because he had not yet met the legendary "Emperor of Cyprus". For him, the person with the most extensive knowledge of American entertainment, most of it comes from Marvel and DC superhero movies. Charlize Theron is one of the few acquaintances of Hollywood beauties. Luckily, he was no longer new but after meeting Ovitz and Levine, he became CAA president. I also learned a lot about Hollywood insiders and many glamorous beauties like Charlize Theron. But that didn't stop him from thinking about these wonderful beauties. After all, in terms of appearance and figure, they are truly amazing. As a normal man, he must be greedy with his body. It's just that when Abel was an ordinary person, the brilliant and bright impression in his heart had disappeared. Now it's stunning beauties like Charlize Theron. In Abel's heart, it is no longer a daffodil that can only be viewed from afar but cannot be played with. But if you have the chance, you can play to your heart's content with a top-notch real human doll. Currently, he is "disappointed" because he cannot meet Charlize Theron. Just this little feeling made me miss the most beautiful figure and then feel a bit regretful. "Then let's follow the procedure. How to deal with this kind of thing? » Abel looked at Edward. "I mean how to deal with these paparazzi." In fact, before that, Edward did not know that he was a professional special forces soldier. Not long after joining Rock Security, I met Abel. During his regular studies, he became a professional bodyguard. But its owner is not a Hollywood practitioner. He did not have time to absorb the necessary knowledge to solve this situation. Luckily, in addition to Abel, there is more than one Hollywood practitioner. Due to the demand in this field, Rock Security has also recruited many security personnel in this field. Edward didn't know how to handle things like that, someone did. "Normal Hollywood stars, when faced with things like this, can keep it a secret," Edward said. As long as the other party does not violate the law, they do not need to do anything. » Abel nodded: "Is this guy illegal?" "That's not right. On the contrary, our methods are a bit rough. The other side wants to investigate, and we're in trouble." "But for related matters, it's best to find a lawyer." Edward said. "So what?" "Smash his camera, take him outside and beat him," Abel said. So let him go. So get a lawyer to come here and find the person responsible. During this time, the error recipient will be processed twice. There will be other rewards later. » Hollywood stars are not doing well, neither are Hollywood stars. Abel is not a Hollywood star, he is a capitalist. There are too many solutions for capitalists to solve this type of problem. It's just that this guy didn't commit a deadly crime, so Abel couldn't bear to shoot him in the back eight times and then commit suicide. So teach me a little lesson and express my anger. "I will encounter similar things in the future. Let's do it this way." » Abel said gently. "Understand." Edward immediately nodded. "As indicated." Abel said: "I'm going to rest, I leave this matter to you, Edward." Edward nodded, watched his boss enter the room, then turned and left the room to solve the problem. On the other side of the hotel, Charlize Theron's assistant just apologized to the hotel staff and then returned to her boss's room. I saw the "advanced doll" and "advanced figure" in Abel's mind, Miss Charlize Theron, wearing a mask and lying on the living room sofa in her pajamas. "How are you? How are the paparazzi?" After seeing her assistant return, Charlize Theron quickly asked. The assistant replied: "The assistant manager of this hotel apologized to me. He also said that if I come to stay here in the future, I will get a 50% discount." "Heh~" Charlize Theron laughed, "Does she still want me to live here after this? Where are the paparazzi? » "The reporter's words, he was taken away by this customer desk, I haven't met anyone yet." » said the assistant. "Can't we get our secretly taken photos back?" » Charlize Theron asked. "It's not clear, maybe we can think of a way to contact the other party?" Charlize Theron shook her head slightly: "That's not necessary. These photos aren't something you can't see in the newspaper. And don't you realize that the guests at this table are a big sight?" He's definitely a very important person." and maybe I didn't want us to bother him. Charlize Theron knows everything. Don't look back, she is a charming media star, nicknamed the South African diamond. In the eyes of fans and ordinary people, he is one of the big stars who has become famous. But deep down, she knows that in the eyes of many people, she is just an actress, or even just a beautiful cousin! Guests can have that many bodyguards without fear of directly arresting people in public. Probably a big step forward. This handsome young man Charlize Theron guessed that the other could be a descendant of a powerful family or a descendant of a large business owner. Such a person, Charlize Theron, does not want to provoke herself. Because of this type of person, even Hollywood giants cannot afford it. In Hollywood, like her, she is now a slightly stronger shrimp. If you really want to cause trouble with your opponent, the ending will probably be the same as that of the paparazzi named Steve. Charlize is ambitious, deeply self-aware, and has high IQ and EQ. She thought it was better to stay away from those big guys. When the assistant saw the boss say that, he naturally had nothing to do. Whatever happened to the team is over. Anne then stayed with Abel for two days. She then asked to leave and the crew agreed. Two days later, Annie returned to the crew. Abel continued to stay near San Francisco. October 1st is another country's birthday. He saw it and is now famous in Silicon Valley. Although not as good as Microsoft and Yahoo, they are the two founders of Google and have established themselves as kings. Larry Page and Sergey Brin, the two people who created the "BackRub" project, the predecessor of Google, in 1997. And officially changed its name to Google in 1998, then received an investment of 25 million USD in the same year there. After two years of development, this year Google's market value has increased the most. That year, the giant Yahoo announced that it would choose Google as its search engine provider. Yahoo initially had its own search engine business, and Google also considered it a competitor before that. Previously, Yahoo and Microsoft both competed for market share in the search field, in which Google gained the absolute advantage. Yahoo's decision strengthened Google. Yahoo made this decision because they wanted to buy Google. The plan was very good, but Larry Page and Sergey Brin also felt comfortable thanks to each other's sincerity. Then came the Internet bubble that everyone knew was coming but everyone thought it was still very far away. Rich and powerful, Yahoo, who was previously richer than anyone else, had no money. He reduced his offer to Google but still wanted to buy Google. Even if the overall market is slowing down, Larry Page and Sergey Brin don't want to reduce the company's value at all. Both of them rejected Yahoo's new offer for Google, which was a cheap offer. Compared to this year's peak, the situation is getting worse. Its market capitalization grew from hundreds of billions of dollars to several billion dollars, and Yahoo eventually reached over a billion dollars. In 2000, this was the general situation of Google today. "Good afternoon." Looking at the strange Google founder dressed like a typical Silicon Valley programmer, Abel smiled and said: "Mr. Larry Page, Mr. Sergey Brin, nice to meet you." Larry Page and Sergey Brin are actually as young as Abel. Last year, with the rapid development of Google. Too many venture capitalists and financial companies are waving checks to block the doors of these two men. These two people now know the experience of meeting investors. In the past six months, because of the dotcom bubble. There are far fewer investors walking through the door, as are the number of checks they are waving. This also makes Larry Page and Sergey Brin both have a much better attitude towards investors. It's not like the beginning of the year anymore, it's a bit far away. "Hello, Mr. Smith." Larry Page responded with a smile. Sergey Brin also smiled and waved. After the simple words of the opening scene, Abel's words are very direct. He got straight to the point: "Come see me, my goal is very simple. This means I want to become a shareholder of Google! He spoke so bluntly that Sergey Brin and Larry Page couldn't stop looking at each other. All the investors who came to see them wanted to become Google shareholders. But this is the first time I've seen someone as simple as Abel. Larry Page said: "Sir, every investor who sees us wants to become a shareholder of Google." Sergey Brin did not speak. Usually when it comes to strangers, Larry Page is the one who handles most of it. Even in terms of interpersonal relationships and business management, Larry Page is equally capable. Abel was not reserved at all, he directly asked to talk about Larry Page and Sergey Brin. "I want 20% of the shares and I am willing to pay 500 million US dollars. And I can still grant you voting rights on my shares to guarantee you the right to manage and control the company." Larry Page looked at Sergey Brin again and realized that the latter was also looking at him. After hearing the suggestion, they both stood up straight. Google is very valuable. This is actually the current perception of the entire Silicon Valley. Earlier this year, Yahoo made a $2 billion offer for Google. This was the price before the Internet era. After the dotcom bubble burst, Yahoo offered to sell it, leaving only 1.2 billion USD. In other words, Yahoo now thinks Google isn't worth much. However, Abel knew this in parallel space and time. Yahoo, which regained vitality next year, will spend $3 billion to buy Google. But it wasn't 9/11. The entire Internet reacted with some anger. Sergey Brin and Larry Page, as well as other shareholders of the company. I am no longer satisfied with this offer from Yahoo. They want more. They once again refused the offer. Then on September 11, just as the Internet was just starting to improve, it crashed. Larry Page and Sergey Brin, who wanted to sell Google at a bargain price, suddenly realized that no one was ready to take over. Misfortunes and blessings depend on whether two people can endure and continue to own and develop Google and earn more money later. Just before that, both were eager to sell Google. The reason is that until now Google has never made a penny of profit. This is currently the most serious stage when the Internet bubble bursts. The entire market was extremely pessimistic, which also affected the two co-founders. Next year, Sergey Brin and Larry Page may want to sell Google. This was also the reason why they were so excited about Abel's offer. Furthermore, Abel was willing to give them the right to vote, which excited them even more. (end of this chapter)
