Chapter 262

Chapter 262 Elf Princess and Elf Queen

The predecessor of Pacific Energy Company was Sempra Energy Company, one of the powerful tycoons in the southern West Coast.

About one-third of California's electricity and about one-quarter of its natural gas are supplied by this company.

After being acquired by Abel, its tentacles also expanded to Texas for the first time

Well, in Texas, Pacific Energy is currently limited to Tarrant County and two or three small communities nearby.

Pacific Energy's current director is Delevingne York, former chief executive officer of Sampra Energy.

Of course, Draven will not be allowed to monopolize power. The integration process lasted more than a month, at Abel's request.

There are many people in Abel's advisory group.

Several of Ales Energy's top executives also became top executives at Pacific Energy.

CEO Delevingne's power is not as strong as Qixiu Martin, the original CEO and chairman.

Luckily, Delevingne himself is a senior energy executive. Capacity is enough and it is also very important for business management. Therefore, it is only a portion of the power that has been emptied.

Currently this professional manager. You can still stay in this position for a while.

The next day, early in the morning. San Diego, headquarters of Pacific Energy.

The company's top executives, led by CEO Delevingne, arrived at the company gates to personally welcome the big boss.

As a large energy corporation, Pacific Energy certainly has its own headquarters.

This 43-story CBD building in the heart of San Diego is a symbol of Pacific Energy's strength.

Pacific Energy with a total value of 17 billion USD. This is also the most valuable company among the listed companies acquired by Abel.

Standing in front of the large picture windows of the conference room on the forty-third floor.

Abel looked down at the busy creatures on the street below, busy with their lives.

A few minutes later, he turned his head to look at the qualified executives sitting in the conference room.

"I read the company's financial statements from last year to May this year. They are very good and healthy."

Abel said:

"When total revenue is only about 5.5 billion USD, profits can reach 620 million USD, which is already very good."

A positive opening statement from your boss.

This is a relief for those who are a little worried.

In front of Abel there is a file of documents.

The above shows the revenue of the three largest subsidiaries of Pacific Energy Group.

First is Southern California Gas Company with revenue of $2.494 billion. Ranked second is San Diego Gas and Electric Company, with revenue of 1,844 billion VND.

The third company is Sempra LNG, with revenue of 1.161 billion USD. (Subsidiary company has not changed name)

These three main subsidiaries contribute 95% of Pacific Energy's revenue and profits.

In addition to these three subsidiaries, Pacific Energy also has many other assets.

For example, some oil and natural gas fields have average production and have extensive oil and gas exploration rights.

Another example is the recently merged Ales Energy. Before that there was only investment and very low income.

Not to mention Ales Energy.

Simply adding the above allows Pacific Energy's predecessor company, Sempra Energy, to support a market value of more than $16 billion on the stock market.

Today the company canceled the registration.

Its net assets alone amount to at least tens of billions of dollars. Any way you look at it, this is a high-quality energy company.

If it weren't for Abel's self-deprecating reputation and his unscrupulous tactics of attracting leeks.

It is estimated that it may be difficult to purchase without the 50% premium.

Look at a company of this quality and it's also one of the troikas I rate the most.

Abel felt a little complacent for the first time. After his opening remarks, he continued:

"About where the company is going next. I already have an idea.

A complacent Abel appointed his own team of advisors.

According to the various requests he made, the path for further development was formed for Pacific Energy.

"First, Pacific Energy should begin to change its mindset and increase its diversity of activities in the energy sector."

Abel said:

"First of all, I noticed that the company has 27 subsidiaries. However, almost all of the main revenue comes from the three largest subsidiaries. This means that as long as the revenue of these three companies is not good, the company's annual operating results will be affected. This is an unusual situation and something needs to change."

"Second, we must reduce production costs and improve investment efficiency"

"Third, optimize the industrial structure and adjust the industrial layout"

"Fourth, deepen reform of enterprise mechanisms and enhance enterprise vitality.

"Fifth, improve the innovation environment and strengthen innovation."

"Sixth, expand foreign cooperation and improve the level of international activities"

"Seventh, strengthen the building of corporate culture and enhance brand value.

"."

Abel almost read the documents given by the consulting team according to the script.

This is a rarity for him.

He rarely pays much attention to his business.

Even Smith Capital has never received such attention from him. Tesla and Pacific, and a rudimentary Pacific Mall, only these three companies get the same treatment.

It was so important that he even read through his least favorite speech.

His attitude also made Pacific Energy's managers aware of this big boss's attachment to the company.

Because of this emphasis, Abel stayed in San Diego almost all day today.

This lasted until after four o'clock in the afternoon. He left extremely satisfied and returned to Los Angeles at San Diego International Airport.

The distance between San Diego and Los Angeles is relatively close.

The straight-line distance is just over 190 km.

As soon as the plane takes off, it's time to prepare for landing.

Not including takeoff and landing time, it is estimated that the flight from acceleration to deceleration takes just over ten minutes. This distance, if there is a high-speed train in California, will take a maximum of about half an hour by high-speed train.

Unfortunately, California does not have high-speed rail.

California will build high-speed rail in the future. It took tens of billions of dollars and thirteen years to build more than 50 kilometers of high-speed rail, which is considered the most expensive high-speed train line in history.

With such a small distance, it only takes about two or three hours to drive. Just last time Abel organized a convoy from Tarrant County and went to Houston in Harris County.

That time he was injured in the car.

After that, he refused to take a car on long road trips, as long as the trip lasted more than an hour.

If you can fly then fly, if you can't fly then take a helicopter.

Traveling by car became his last option. In the evening, the sun sets.

Abel has returned to Beverly Hills.

He did not go to 9425 Sunset Boulevard to find Li Fuzhen.

He went to New Start Real Estate, another luxury property in Beverly Hills.

This is a house located at 10410 Bellagio Road, Beverly Hills, right in the center of the highway, with an area of ​​1.7 acres, a super luxurious house with 7 bedrooms and 11 bathrooms. New Start Real Estate bought it for about $30 million.

In the villa at 10410 Bellagio Street, there was also someone waiting for him.

Abel had just entered the gate of the house, he could not go long. Just look at the Mediterranean-style front yard, with a large patio fireplace.

Liv Tyler is lounging on a white outdoor couch reading a book. The sun is setting and Beverly Hills is a warm yellow. Dye the entire yard and Liv Tyler gold.

Let Liv in this look look like Princess Alwen in modern attire.

She's like an elf princess from a magical medieval continent.

She sat there motionless, Liv not even bothering to look at the huge commotion when Abel and the others entered. It seemed that she was deeply attracted to the book's content, so passionate that she couldn't take her eyes off it.

This makes Abel feel strange.

Liv Tyler, one of Hollywood's famous assholes, reads books~www.mtlnovel.com~ and she's passionate about reading, is she reading the women's version of Playboy?

Otherwise, how to explain?

Abel curiously bent down, while he was more than a meter away from her. Suddenly,

"clack clack ~"

She dropped the thick book in her hand, laughed loudly and jumped up.

Liv ran to Abel, "Surprised, right? Liv Tyler is also reading a book? Actually, I'm not reading a book at all. You knew it right away as soon as you walked in!"

After clinging to Abel, Liv hugged Abel, smiled, and kissed Abel. The two kissed for a moment before Liv jumped down, satisfied.

"You didn't read a book, what were you doing just now?" Abel was curious.

"Because I know that when you come in from the outside, I read in this place, and reading from this angle will make me seem especially elegant, beautiful and different!"

Liv proudly said:

"I saw you return to the second floor. I immediately came down from above, conveniently picked up a book, and sat down before you went in."

"What if you thought I was extremely beautiful just now? This post, but one of the editors-in-chief of "VOGUE" magazine, Angelina, specially chose the photo post for me!"

His voice was thick, urgent and quick, but you could hear it clearly. This also made Abel understand one thing, which was that she was pretending to read a book just now.

This is to make her better in my eyes, to deepen my impression of her.

Even the sitting posture and book holding movements are guided by experts.

Abel was speechless for a moment.

I couldn't help but raise my hand and pat the attractive girl's firm, elastic yet soft little butt a few times. "Ah. Shooting like that will be very painful. If you want to take the shot at night, I'll shoot for you." Liv Tyler complained.

The host of this show

Abel shook his head and said: "You know I don't like it."

Liv said: "So I'll explain right away, so you don't get too angry."

Abel thought it was true.

"Okay. What about VOGUE?"

Abel hugged her shoulder, walked to the soft, white outdoor sofa and sat down. These expensive outdoor sofas are not afraid of rain and can be placed outdoors.

This is the standard configuration of most luxury villas. When many ordinary people watch videos of luxury homes, the outdoor furniture and furniture they see are all outdoor products.

They are not afraid of water, easy to scrub, and relatively easy to clean.

The price will of course be much higher than regular furniture. Liv Tyler answers his question:

"I can go to "VOGUE" magazine once next month. Even though it's not the cover, it's just the color page of the magazine's content. But "VOGUE" magazine still sends professional editors and photographers. The best professional came to take pictures for me."

"This place and the angle I took just now were helped me find by Angelina, editor-in-chief of "VOGUE" magazine."

Liv proudly said:

"The photo after taking it looks very beautiful, I even think I look extremely beautiful. Then I took a few more photos and found it to be truly beautiful. Before that, when I saw you coming back, I intentionally put it down."

After listening to her explanation, Abel no longer paid attention to what she had just done.

"Even though I don't know much about Hollywood. But as far as I know, even if "VOGUE" magazine is a color page, Hollywood practitioners can't get in if they want."

Abel said:

"You don't have any recent works, Lord of the Rings hasn't come out yet so it's not very popular. How could "VOGUE" magazine think of inviting you?"

Liv said:

"Maybe it's because I've been to Isha's shows a few times recently? These fashionistas have evaluated me very well."

"VOGUE" magazine interviewed my title and said that I am a cross-border star involved in both Hollywood and fashion."

Abel has no commitment, "Maybe."

"Right." He said again: "You called me, what's going on?"

Abel went to 10410 Bellagio Street because Liv was harassing him over the phone.

If Liv hadn't invited him, maybe Abel would still be at 9425 Sunset Boulevard today.

He still hasn't eaten enough of Ms. Li's fresh meat.

Li Fu Zhen should rest for a day, Abel felt like he could continue to try it.

Liv filed a complaint:

"I can't come see you if I have nothing to do? As your first contract employee, I am your number one subordinate. »

"Um" Abel said: "Okay. So my number one subordinate, why did you call me here?"

The dissatisfaction on Liv's face immediately disappeared, she smiled and said:

"Of course it's a good thing. If it wasn't a good thing, I wouldn't dare personally invite the boss here."

"What good?"

Liv Tyler smiled mysteriously, then said in a noble and elegant voice that she played Princess Arwen in The Lord of the Rings:

"One of the rulers of Lothlórien in the Golden Wood, the strongest elf in Middle-earth during the Third Age, the young princess of the Noldor, Galadriel, great Queen of the Elves, will be here tonight with her daughter hers as Princess Arwen, against the fearsome Great Demon King Sauron!

"Dear Great Demon King Sauron, are you afraid?" Liv said provocatively: "Where are you going to meet the elf?" Oppress and destroy Galadriel and her child?

"Great Demon King, please choose!"

Abel understood Liv Tyler's meaning.

I must say he was moved immediately. Galadriel, Queen of The Lord of the Rings, countless Chinese movie fans are moved by her aura.

She may also be the first character in history to conquer the public thanks to her temperament rather than her beauty.

Galadriel is not the best person in the movie.

But she is the most attractive and seductive woman in the film.

Abel in his previous life only knew the relationship between men and women, but he was still a dead-faced dog. All were fascinated by Galadriel's temperament in the film.

This is also one of Abel's feelings.

He patted Liv's upturned butt, pretending to be calm: "Speak in human language."

"Hey hey~" Liv could see he was getting emotional.

The business manager immediately muttered:

"Tonight, I invited Galadriel here to dine. When the time comes… Hateful Great Demon King Sauron, do you have any opinion?

Abel looked at her and said coldly: "Do you want me to use force?"

Liv was extremely scared when she saw his face turn a little cold.

As soon as the mischief disappeared, poor Liv said:

"How is it possible! I've already made the arrangements. Dear BOSS, you don't even know how much effort and preparation I put into today!"

"What was the preparation and effort like?" Abel asked meaningfully.

Liv looked at his face and saw that he wasn't really angry.

She breathed a sigh of relief and whispered to Abel about the plan she had been working on for the past few months. According to Liv.

Right when she first played Arwen for Abel.

This very brave Hollywood green tea thought of placing "Galadriel" and "Alwen" together in Sauron's bed for the devil to enjoy.

Later, she discovered that the Great Demon King actually had this idea.

Liv gradually begins her plan. She first tried to maintain a good relationship with Australian actress Cate Blanchett, who played Galadriel.

Under Liv's initiative, the two played mother and daughter in the film crew.

Relations between the two quickly heated up and they became good friends within a few months.

After becoming good friends, Liv used all kinds of secret tricks.

In front of Cate Blanchett, Abe Smith boasted of his power, giving him many advantages in Hollywood. Even more so when the two come together.

We often place Charlize, Anne, Jessica, etc., or even simply Sarah, who has a one-night stand with Abel.

Talk to Cate Blanchett over and over about their adventures and treatment and use a variety of words intelligently.

Liv's original intention was to imply that Cate Blanchett "made some sacrifices".

Such sacrifices are very common in Hollywood.

Unfortunately, Cate Blanchett didn't know whether she didn't understand, or whether she understood clearly but in her heart refused. Galadriel fails to catch the bait Liv throws.

Liv Tyler simply thought, put the elf queen into a coma, and then took her to meet the Great Demon King Sauron.

Alwen will stun Galadriel and give it to the Great Demon King.

The daughter said goodbye to her mother.

Liv thought Abel might like such a storyline too. "If you disagree." Liv strangles Abel.

"Then I'll tell him not to come tonight. I'll make a long-term plan and think of a way to get him into your bed."

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Abel was actually a little touched.

But he feels there are some things he cannot do.
