Chapter 209

Chapter 209: King Smith

The movie Abel intended for Scarlett to make.

is a parallel time and space, the movie "Kick-Ass" was released in 2010.

This is based on the comic book series "Kick-Ass" by Mark Miller.

A fun superhero comedy starring Chloe Grace Moretz, who was about thirteen years old at the time.

Abel intended for Scarlett to play the role of Super Assassin at that time. At that time, Scarlett was the same height as 13-year-old Chloe Grace Moretz.

When taking pictures, I will wear a little more childish makeup.

With Scarlett's current appearance, she can definitely bring out Super Killer's mixed feminine and lolita temperament.

I didn't look at Liv Tyler but suddenly saw Scarlett wearing a towel.

Would you almost consider her a twelve or thirteen year old girl? Additionally, Super Killer is very popular. One is pretty and cool, and the other is a violent lolita plot.

Scarlett has it all.

And during filming, she probably tried to hide her best developed figure.

Once Scarlett finishes performing in these two plays, she will almost be an adult in a year or two. Around this time, she was asked to play Natasha the Black Widow again.

It's time for everyone to watch a movie together.

They will suddenly discover that lolita's super assassin is unexpected!

Abel remembers that Kick-Ass's investment was not expensive.

Even just letting Scarlett practice filming scenes of beating women.

After all, this is just a fun, low-budget superhero movie, so it's okay if it explodes. Think of it as an internship for Scarlett and MGM, or gaining experience making superhero movies.

As for Scarlett, I heard she may soon play the female lead in an MGM movie.

She is still the female lead of the movie, and did not ask about the movie's investment budget, so she was so excited that she was infatuated.

So that night the swelling did not go away.

Scarlett is very brave and dedicated. Horseback riding is a joy.

As a result, let it wait a few days to cultivate.

Only then can the body be fully restored.

February 15.

Abel finally returned to New York. It's different from Los Angeles, which has begun to recover.

New York in February.

Even though we're already half way there.

Except for midday, temperatures remain mostly below zero.

Luckily, the blizzard passed, leaving only light to moderate snow at times. But Abel has a reason to return.

Since there are still a few days left, the closing time for Smith Capital's first private placement is coming to an end.

Smith Capital's first phase of private placement raised a total of three billion US dollars.

The management fee is 0, the acquisition fee is 2%, and the registration fee is 1%.

Except for the management fee of zero, which is too high, the other two items have a relatively low value on Wall Street. But the most scandalous thing is the bonus withdrawal fee of up to 50%.

50% dividend withdrawal fee for this private placement worth 3 billion USD.

This means that half of the profits earned will be commissions from Abel and Smith Capital, the entity that manages and manages the fund.

Among them, the sharing ratio between Abel and Smith Capital is 9:1.

That is, if Abel can get $10. All he had to do was give the company a dollar.

If this private placement brings in 10 billion USD.

Abe will receive $5 billion

Abel's $5 billion will be handed over to Smith Capital along with $500 million.

At Smith Capital's year-end investment reception. Smith Capital posted profits from the first phase of its private placement at maturity.

That's about $5.6 billion.

And wait until the 20th of this month, the closing period officially ends.

Smith Capital's first phase of private placement will be the first and final distribution of funds.

Because then the first private equity fund will close. This is what Abel has to do when he returns to New York this time.

When he returned, it was dark.

He didn't warn anyone, after all he was the boss and the one in charge of everything.

In addition to family members, there are also women.

He doesn't need to explain his route to anyone. Even women and family members are often like this.

Manhattan, New York.

8 East, Street 63.

This is a 5-story townhouse located on the Upper East Side.

9 bedrooms, 9 bathrooms, real estate tax 14,166 USD/month. It is conveniently located on the boulevard between Fifth Avenue and Madison Avenue.

Owners living here can easily travel to Central Park, museums, Madison Avenue Mall and other famous locations in Manhattan.

This is the property that Abel bought two months ago for $24.995 million.

The reason for the difference of 5,000 USD is exactly 25 million.

Because according to current Manhattan deed tax payment standards. A villa worth 25 million yuan will pay 5% more deed tax than a house worth less than 25 million yuan.

About ten o'clock at night.

Upper East Side, 8 East 63rd Street

"Coffee!"

Abel, who was wearing a long thick coat, walked straight in with the cold air when the bodyguard opened the door.

After entering the warm room, he took off his coat and walked towards the living room on the second floor.

Abel saw on the table a bottle of whiskey and two square crystal glasses with small bottoms. Out of two glasses of wine, one glass only has a little alcohol left.

The other is not.

There was a bodyguard waiting beside her and she saw her boss's questioning eyes.

The bodyguard gently replied: "Miss Lerner and her friend have gone up to rest.

Abel nodded.

Miss Lerner is of course D·Ikana Lerner. This townhouse is essentially a small love nest that Abel gave to Ikana.

After both confirmed their relationship.

Ikana moved here when Abel left New York and Hawaii last month.

When I was almost 20 years old, I had my own independent house.

And this is also the most beautiful mansion on the Upper East Side, a freestanding townhouse. This type of house, even though she comes from Ikana, makes her very proud.

The key is this house, which Ikana can build freely on her own.

As a result, Ikana's New York social circle became more knowledgeable.

According to the reports of the experts arranged by Abel at his side.

Ikana often brings her celebrity friends to live here and even hosts parties from time to time. Of course.

Ikana is also very measured. She had never brought a man home, not even her father.

And she never goes out at night.

Abel, who discovered Ikana's personality and experiences in parallel time and space. He knew she was that kind of person.

Previously, his father only provided him with a few resources.

She can make friends all over the world in the circle of famous people in New York.

Now I have Abel's resources, as well as the villa and yacht that Abel gave me.

She is likely to be even more agitated in this regard. As far as Abel knows, Ikana has now almost become a "vassal prince" in New York social circles.

She had a higher status in New York social circles than her previous and parallel contemporaries in time and space.

In this regard, Abel actually agreed with this.

It's better for Yikana to join the celebrity world and have fun all day, than for her to think all day about YKM having no future.

It's better than thinking about making your own harem all day long, thinking about intrigues and intrigues. Anyway, I have professional staff monitoring me so I'm not afraid of the chameleon problem.

It's only for the New York women's association.

Let her play.

Abel smiled and went up to the third floor.

The first floor of the villa is an airy living room and entertainment room. The second floor is a large living room and dining room as well as a small living room.

The 3rd floor is the office and main bedroom taking up most of the area.

The fourth and fifth floors are both living rooms and other rooms.

There is an outdoor swimming pool on the sixth floor terrace.

There is also a small hanging garden. Ikana naturally lived in the master bedroom, and her guests probably went to the guest room upstairs.

Walking to the master bedroom door, Abel first listened carefully inside, but did not hear any sound.

He turned the door and it was unlocked, causing Abel to push open the bedroom door and enter.

After entering, what Abel saw was a round, white Simmons in disarray, with clothes thrown around haphazardly.

A pair of white Balenciagas fell out the closed bathroom door. Abel walked over and picked up the Balenciaga from the floor.

Abel remained inside and saw an Isa penis worth $99.99.

He returned to Simmons, thought for a moment, then took his phone out of his pocket and put it on silent mode.

Then he stood up and took off his clothes, except for one set.

It seems that because we have to wait for the next screening, the visual impact is a bit BIG. He checked the time, almost ten minutes had passed but he still didn't see Ikana coming out of the bathroom.

Thinking for a moment, Abel lifted the blanket and went straight inside.

A few minutes later, he was lying under the covers and heard the bathroom door open.

He quietly waited.

Soon, Abel heard footsteps, walked to the edge of Simmons and stopped, not knowing what he was doing. He originally wanted to wait for Ikana to sit on Simmons.

It exploded again to give him a real "surprise".

But the comforter was a bit stuffy and the heating in the room was too strong.

This makes it really impossible for Abel to stay.

Abel was in Ikana, just sitting next to Simmons, the person closest to him. He suddenly stood up, lifted the blanket, hugged Ikana and laughed: "Surprise!!"

He noticed this Ikana went out without wearing a bathrobe.

This number is still much smaller and has decreased significantly.

Responding to him were two screams from Ikana.

Why are there two sounds?

Because another Ikana in a bathrobe, right in front of him, came out of the bathroom. Ikana, who was wearing a bathrobe, was startled to see someone suddenly jumping out of the blanket, and couldn't help but scream.

Another Ikana without a bathrobe was hugged by him.

She was suddenly attacked, and naturally she screamed in fear.

I saw Ikana at the bathroom door and I was holding "Ikana" in my arms.

Abel suddenly knew he must have kissed the wrong person. He was a little embarrassed, bowed his head and stiffened his neck.

"Ikana" in my arms, where is Ikana?

Obviously Paris Hilton.

Ten minutes of chaos followed.

In the large living room on the second floor. "Feel guilty."

Abel looked at Paris Hilton with her neat pockets and apologized.

Sitting opposite him was Paris Hilton, she seemed a bit shy and didn't dare look at him. She bowed her head slightly and said:

"You didn't do it on purpose. You misunderstood me as Ikana. I don't blame you."

Next to him was Ikana, embarrassed and helpless.

"Okay~ This is over." Abel smiled: "It's a little late, Miss Hilton, I'm going to rest."

After explaining, don't wait for the two of them to react.

Abel stood up directly and walked towards the master bedroom on the third floor. He stayed in the master bedroom for about half an hour.

The master bedroom door opened and Ikana walked in.

He directly hugged Ikana and threw it at big Simmons.

"When did your relationship with Paris get so good?"

After persevering, Abel did not immediately take the second step.

» he asked curiously. Ikana said helplessly: "Actually, we have always known each other. New York only has a limited size, how big can our circle be?

"Alright." Abel nodded: "Then don't worry about Paris. Honey, it's still big! I love them!"

Abel begins the second move.

The next day, Abel's biological clock caused him to wake up automatically around seven o'clock.

As for Ikana. It is estimated that she will sleep until noon before waking up.

After showering in the master bedroom, he left the bedroom and went up to the second floor.

At the restaurant, Abel reminisces about Paris.

"Hello France." Abel greeted him with a smile, as if last night's events didn't embarrass him at all.

Paris seemed a bit surprised to see him up so early. But the eldest grandmother of the Hilton family quickly responded:

"Hello, Abel."

"What do you want to eat?"

Abel sat at the head of the restaurant table and asked Paris.

Next to him was Stephen, the personal chef who came to serve him first after seeing him appear.

Chef Stephen previously worked at a Michelin-starred restaurant in New York.

When Abel and Ikana go on their second date, they dine at the restaurant where Stephen works.

That's when Abel slammed Stephen against the wall. After that, he arranged for Stephen to work at 1 13th Street, Emperor Point, New York.

After Joanna was transferred to Manhattan to work with him.

Stephen was also transferred to Abel and transferred to Manhattan.

Turns out Stephen is the personal chef at Ikana.

Abel simply asked Stephen to work here, at 8 East 63rd Street. Paris bowed her head and said softly: "I can do anything."

Abel also leaves it up to the chef to make arrangements.

One breakfast, Abel ate extremely embarrassed.

This makes him eat very quickly. After eating, he talked to Paris Hilton and then quickly left.

About nine thirty in the morning. Abel walked out of the Smith Building.

It's been a month since I've been to the company.

After arriving at the company, his first feeling was that the number of cars parked in the parking lot in front of the company building had increased.

To be precise, the entire parking lot was full.

Some cars were even parked on the avenue in front of the parking lot. Obviously he didn't come back at that time.

Smith Capital recruited many people, so many people came to work that the parking lot could not accommodate.

But just because someone else's car doesn't get in there doesn't mean your boss's car doesn't get in there.

Throughout the parking lot, the few parking spaces closest to the door are always empty.

This is the parking space for the management, in addition there are two other parking spaces reserved for the Abel team. After joining the company, Smith Capital is more vibrant than before.

Before the entire Smith Capital, the total number of employees had never exceeded 130 people.

The entire building, the 2nd and 1st floors were previously empty.

The workshop and trading hall are both located on the third floor, the entire building is very deserted.

After returning to the company this time, he noticed that the company had many changes. He is observing changes in business.

The company employees who found him all looked at him.

His boss, this Wall Street giant, the appearance of this symbol of Smith Capital.

has long attracted the attention of all company employees.

Some former Smith Capital employees shouted with excitement after seeing it appear:

"Hey! Our king is back! Smith Capital, hello our king!"

The old employees cheered and learned the ancient ritual of the knights in Europe and the West, paying homage to Abel. The actions of these former employees caused the new employees to take immediate action.

The last step is from the door to the elevator.

All Smith's employees on the street saluted Abel in the manner of an old European knight.

This made Abel laugh and cry.

At the same time, when Abel took the elevator, he saw that the first and second floors were full of busy people. Wait for Abel to take the elevator and go to the fourth floor.

Smith Capital CEO David Mellon and Deputy CEO Melio each led a group of senior executives waiting at the elevator entrance.

As soon as Abel stepped out, what he saw was David and they looked very nice together, and Merio shouted loudly like an ancient courtier:

"Hello like our king~"

Then there are the managers of Smith Capital, as well as the other employees below.

A series of standard medieval European knightly greetings are addressed to Abel.

Abel: . Right after that, at Abel's office.

"How are you? I think it's very good."

"In our Capital Smith, you are the only king."

"We are all knights guiding you into the capital."

"Knights should perform knightly rituals for kings~"

"At first it was Merio's suggestion. Later I found him very interesting so I asked everyone to meet. Everyone agreed, that's it!"

"."

David's explanation finally allowed Abel to understand why all the former employees of Smith Capital are like this now. There were also some new employees that Abel didn't know, and there was a reason why they had to give a chivalrous salute.

Honestly, that's just the second word description.

But in there, all the passersby treat each other like kings.

It really made Abel feel like he was the king of this building.

Facing David's words, Abel frowned and hesitantly said: "I still feel a bit strange."

"I do not think so." David smiled and said:

"Basically, the big investment banks and the big financial firms on Wall Street are going to have their own weird traditions."

"Like Goldman Sachs, their tradition is that the vice president goes everywhere and the president is no better than a dog."

"Like Morgan Stanley, their tradition is that every Thursday the whole company has to have afternoon tea and there must be muffins for afternoon tea."

"Like Lehman Brothers, their senior executives like to follow unwritten rules in the workplace ~ well, it's better not to go to their company because they're pretty."

"Like Bear Stearns, they hold an annual intramural sports competition on the first Monday in June."

"Like Bridgewater"

"."

David Mellon spoke eloquently, talking about some industry secrets that even Abel didn't know. "Those are traditions. They probably don't serve any serious purpose."

"But they are essential in shaping the culture, rules and spirit of a company."

"Sometimes very helpful."

David looked seriously at Abel:

"Smith Capital exists for you. You are the king of this kingdom. Your role at Smith Capital is stronger than that of the creator."

"God says we cannot create God in our lives. »

"But we can follow the king in life~"

"From now on we will be knights and you will be King Smith."
