Chapter 172

Chapter 172 continues to expand media territory

Anne Hathaway's spiritual journey over the past month.

Abel didn't know that.

But she often gets dizzy for a month and sometimes seems very confused about it.

Abel knows that.

Bodyguards are always by Anne's side. Especially Jin Na, a bodyguard from Moscow who looks like an aunt.

Regardless of one's current size, four or five men can be defeated.

But in his youth, he was already a trained expert in Swallow.

Annie's slight change of mind cannot completely escape Jin Na's observation.

Annie then left alone and went to the actors' union to find an opportunity. In reality, she is also under Abel's control.

He even allows Jinna to trick Annie into doing this.

Even the audition director dared to make such an unreasonable request.

This was only done through Jin Na's fraud.

People are not stupid, Anne Hathaway is also a "Smith girl".

If it weren't for Jin Na's manipulation, how would you dare mention this kind of thing without knowing? Including Jinna, who then contacted the Moscow gang in California, throwing the other side's caliber into the black community.

Abel knows the whole process and is authorized by default.

Regarding Anne's thoughts on some small things, Jin Na quietly guided.

Swallow is a born pro and things are going very well.

When Abel was brought to our house, Anne did the psychological work herself. I forgot about her suffering and confusion for more than a month.

This makes Abel appreciate Jin Na's work.

In fact, that includes Charlize, Liv, and others.

These female bodyguards appear to be good at fighting but are ordinary on the outside.

In fact, they all offer similar training. The training content is intended to help them control the psychology of a protected subject when monitoring that subject.

This is mainly because half of Abel's soul comes from China.

And the hat color that Chinese men hate the most.

is the hat color that Monkey Annan likes to wear the most.

Inside the safety of the Rock. There is a special small department dedicated to this work.

So far, this small department is doing well.

Anne Hathaway just had something of a trend that was quickly extinguished.

For this reason, Abel silently praised Rock's security department.

Jin Na was even happier when she presented the $100,000 bonus check. Let them persevere in their efforts and work hard to maintain internal harmony in their boss's Crystal Palace.

Even though it was his habit, some people in the safety of the rock who knew him found it a bit strange.

It's normal for them to feel this way.

After all, in the European and American atmosphere, Abel's painting style is indeed very strange.

Fortunately, these people felt strange, but did not say much. The boss is super rich so being a little eccentric is normal.

Super rich people, who doesn't have random ideas?

It's important that the employer pay a living wage and adequate benefits, which may even extend to family members.

Oral health insurance that a normal job cannot afford, who would refuse?

Bodyguards like Jin Na therefore work very hard. Invisibly, a large net has caught the women that Abel loves.

Waiting for Anne to get out of her extremely tiring yoga session and wake up.

It's already dark.

Lying on the soft Simmons, Annie opened her eyes, regaining consciousness.

As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Abel taking off his clothes and walking towards her. The girl from New Jersey suddenly changed her voice, scared.

"Ah? Come back! Honey, I don't want to do yoga anymore. Geez, I'm so tired, my legs are numb and swollen."

"This is impossible. I just came back from outside. With subjects like yoga, you have to be persistent, just be persistent."

Be obedient and obedient.

When Anne was actually sober and no Abel was forcing her to do yoga.

It was noon the next day.

"Um~"

With a groan, Anne Hathaway, curled up on the soft bed, woke up with her eyes wide open.

When she woke up, she often touched herself. Indeed, it was still the same as before, never touching him.

The combat power is not as good, even the awakening time cannot be carried out at the same time.

She looked out of the blanket with worry. In the messy room, she couldn't see him.

At this moment, Annie breathed a sigh of relief. In the end, I no longer needed to continue practicing yoga.

Although practicing yoga is very comfortable, it is also very tiring.

Even hurt!

Thinking like that, Annie could hardly sit up in bed.

She just felt like her whole body was being torn apart, her arms and legs were numb.

This is the performance of excessive yoga. She struggled to walk a few steps, picked up the phone on the bedside table, and pressed the number one button to dial as usual.

In most hotels, the number one button on the room phone has a variety of functions.

But for Annie, it didn't matter which hotel she stayed at.

Dial number one from the hotel phone number.

Jin Na can be contacted as soon as possible, she is her assistant and personal bodyguard. The reason is because she stays in a hotel every time.

The room she stays in will be monitored by Rock's security staff.

During the test, I changed my phone and replaced it with Rock Security's own phone.

"Hello ~ Jin Na, are you there? I'm hungry, bring me some clothes and some food."

"Alright."

The calm voice of Jin Na, former Swallows member and current employee of Rock Security's special female division, rang out. Annie hung up the phone with peace of mind and only waited a few minutes.

I saw the burly Jin Na carrying another bodyguard, Anna, carrying clothes and food.

The two bodyguards knew the smell of heather filled the room.

Every time the boss comes, Miss Anne's room is filled with this smell.

Sometimes, even with ventilation, it often takes a day or two to disperse. Jin Na secretly inquired about her hometown. People said that there were witches who had researched this field.

Witches speak only to the strongest men.

can fill the room with this smell.

Jin Na thought the boss must be such a man.

With the help of two bodyguards, Annie brushed her teeth, washed her face, and ate in bed. After changing into more casual home clothes, Annie left the heather-filled room.

entered the room.

Annie was so tired that she didn't want to move or go out.

After all, it was a vacation, so she decided to stay at the hotel and wait for Abel to return.

But being alone was boring so she asked Jin Na to help her turn on the TV. American television channels are divided into three types: public channels, cable channels, and pay channels.

It's the year 2000.

There are five public television networks in the United States, which are CBS, ABC, Fox, NBC, and PBS.

Among them, CBS, ABC and NBC are the top three traditional public television channels.

Fox gradually established a television network that covered more than 90% of the United States from 1986 to the early 1990s. Time and space go together,

After 2006.

Time Warner's WB TV merged with UPN to become CW TV, becoming the sixth largest public television network.

Currently, WB TV and UPN have not yet reached the level of television networks.

Today, out of the five public television stations, there are four commercial television stations that rely on advertising to make a living.

PBS is a public, non-commercial organization whose purpose is to support the development of public broadcasting. It is probably equivalent to CiciTV, which has a low political status.

The difference between cable stations and toll stations is even more complicated.

As head of Abel's research organization, Alan Baker negotiated the acquisition of AMC, a typical cable channel.

Pay stations are specialty television channels that LSPs around the world enjoy watching.

24 hours a day, at least 18 hours of stacked image playback. Intercontinental Hotel, TV in luxury 5-star hotel room.

Except for special paid channels, all other TV channels are fully connected naturally.

Additionally, if needed, billers can also view it here.

This means there will be additional fees and the hotel only needs to pay those fees.

Annie was alone, with two bodyguards sitting next to her and talking to her. Of course, he cannot reach these toll booths.

When she accompanies Abel on a novelty hunt, she will watch it two or three times and imitate some of the above content.

The channel she is watching right now is FOX TV network channel.

FOX has 29 television channels and more than 240 channels, covering 90% of US households.

I must say that Murdoch is really very capable. As an Australian, he could find himself under the monopoly of three legacy television networks.

Suddenly opened up this situation and became one of the media giants in America.

Belongs to truly competent people in this industry.

Anne watched this channel under the name FOX.

is an entertainment news television channel, focusing on Hollywood gossip and Beverly Hills trivia. Of course, sometimes it's Hollywood or American showbiz.

When there is big news, he will also report it.

Normally, Annie likes to watch this channel the most.

His first Hollywood dream and star dream.

It was only after watching the glamorous lives of these teenage stars on this TV channel that my desires were aroused. During this time, the channel broadcast everything related to Hollywood celebrities and teen stars.

Very talkative and lively, but Anne is still young.

Even though she's in this round, she still likes to watch these low-nutrition things.

[. Britney Spears was suspected of having a conflict with Justin and was filmed by media reporters. She jumped out of Justin's car.

Inside the canal.

The gossip show host broadcasts in a relaxed and teasing tone.

Suddenly, a male presenter appeared on the screen, took the microphone from the female presenter and began to speak:

[Read messages alternately. ]

[This station has received the latest information that Wall Street super tycoon, Storm Smith founder, MGM movie boss, Wall Street crocodile to Hollywood and Abel Smith's spokesman, David Jones, announced to the public them not long ago Two messages. ]

Although the male host's voice was fast and thick, the audience could still hear it clearly. Basic professional broadcasting skills are strong.

[The first message was:]

[ab Smith Entertainment under the name Mr. Abel Smith announced to the public that Mr. Smith has completely acquired the AMC television channel. ]

[The transaction is said to be worth approximately $1.5 billion. ]

[Later, Rainbow Entertainment, the original major shareholder of AMC TV, confirmed the news. ]

[Rainbow Entertainment announced that it has received a deposit of 150 million USD from Mr. Smith and the transfer agreement has officially taken effect. ]

[Another news related to Mr. Abel Smith. ]

Today, Mr. Mike Richardson, founder of Dark Horse Comics, America's largest independent comic book company, announced that Dark Horse Comics has been fully acquired by MGM. ]

[The amount involved in this acquisition is US$210 million. ]

[This is slightly more expensive than Mr. Smith's acquisition of Marvel. ]

[. This station will invite Mr. **** and Mr. OOO to analyze these two questions]

[Interested viewers you can]

[.]

Seeing that, Annie looked at Jin Na a little happily.

"Honey, did you buy a TV channel?"

"Oh, AMC, I saw their show! And baby bought the dark horse too! Now it's just DC!"

Jinna wanted to roll her eyes.

She feels that the object of her protection has a good personality and beautiful appearance.

But sometimes it's childish, like the tone when I talked to Abel on the phone before.

Jin Na did not answer Anne's question at all. This was her character before Annie, a strong, quiet, stable and trustworthy bodyguard.

On the other hand, another bodyguard is not part of the special department for women.

say more.

Annie also knows the "character" Jin Na and quickly chats with the bodyguard.

"Amc's programs are average. The TV series seems average. »

"Dark Horse Comics' comics and comic book movies are a huge success!"

"But I think that once they are bought by my loved ones, they will immediately be different!"

"Anna, help me think for a moment. For the Dark Horse Comics that hasn't been turned into a movie yet, which female character is suitable for me to play?"

"More, Anna."

"."

Anne and her bodyguard Anna are happily discussing the large sum of money from MGM and AB Smith Entertainment.

Abel himself left Los Angeles.

He ran toward Palo Alto, which falls under the jurisdiction of the San Francisco Bay Area.

Palo Alto is adjacent to Stanford University to the west and is the heart of Silicon Valley, where many high-tech companies are headquartered. was Stanford University founder Leland Stanford, who helped create economic development in Palo Alto.

At the same time, Palo Alto is also one of the most expensive cities in America.

Abel came to this place once.

Last time Abra came here mainly to buy IDEO shares.

Many Chinese people do not know about the existence of this company. Let's put it this way, many of the Tesla cars after the first page are designed by this company!

After the old American horse took over Tesla, IDEO took over most of Tesla's design work.

After all, Old American Horse isn't the real Iron Man, it's just someone else's character design.

You let him do some programming or programming or something.

Maybe his sword isn't old yet and he can still do it.

But you want him to design a patented new energy facility technology or a patented aerospace facility technology. Then you embarrass others.

IDEO seems to intervene in different areas.

But after all, they are in the heart of Silicon Valley, next to high-tech companies or Internet companies.

It operates as a design company, a creative company.

Compared to other people of the same age, there will naturally be more bias. IDEO is more about Internet design and electronic technology.

When Abel arrived last time, the three founders of IDEO initially disagreed with his assessment.

But for now, the Internet winter is not over yet.

Ninety-nine percent of Silicon Valley internet startups are dead.

The three founders of IDEO did not want the company to die like these companies. They eventually accepted Abel's assessment, making Abel one of the company's major shareholders.

After that, IDEO also received a design proposal from Abel.

Abel came here this time just to see for himself how IDEO is doing.

Being a major shareholder of the company, increasing customer uniformity.

There is also a super rich and newly promoted first generation media and Internet traffic king. Abel's appearance naturally caused a stir at IDEO.

The founders of the three companies, Mike Nato, Bill Morgridge and David Kelly, were all present and accompanied them in person.

It is even said that the management of several other high-tech companies and Internet companies are also present in Palo Alto.

After hearing the news, he also went to IDEO.

In the IDEO repository. Abel sees here some sketches of the plans he was assigned to design.

First off, here's a large image of the exterior design, printed and edited with a few pencils.

Looking at this sketch, it would appear from some already existing product with some sci-fi concepts added.

Abel picked it up directly, and in the eyes of the three founders of IDEO, he tore it into pieces.

In the surprised eyes of the three people, he was expressionless:

"I paid IDEO millions of dollars for the design. I also injected money to bring you back to life. Is this how you passed it on to me?

"With design drawings like that, any newly graduated art student can do it?"

Seriously, Abel is a bit angry.

Mainly in his memory, IDEO company's parallel time and space is very stupid.

The first generation Tesla has made its contributions, many home appliance brands and electronic brands in China are becoming more and more beautiful and fashionable.

IDEO is also involved. This made Abel unconsciously think that IDEO must be the best creative design company in the industry.

But he didn't take into account that it was still the year 2000.

The company IDEO is actually doing very well in the industry but is still just a startup.

At the same time, Abel's aesthetics in this area were more than 20 years ahead.

IDEO couldn't design anything that would meet Abel's requirements on the outside. is actually normal.

Seeing his expressionless face, the three founders of IDEO were silent.

To be honest, they're actually meant to be a bit superficial.

But now they know that if they continue to be superficial, something will happen.
