Chapter 301: Spain's national treasure goddess

The romantic capital is brightly lit at night.

Even though there are no high-rise buildings in New York.

The lights of the Champs Elysées still signal the city's prosperity.

This is the most famous fashion week in the world. The Sun King and Emperor Napoleon were born here. It is the center of the global perfume industry.

Many times, this city called Paris was the true center of Europe.

It's always been like that from time immemorial.

Compared to Berlin and Paris, London in the mind of the French is a rural city.

The 18th arrondissement of Paris, one of the 20 arrondissements of Paris, is located on the right bank of the Seine River. The 18th arrondissement includes the old town of Montmartre, attached to Paris in 1860.

Many famous artists in history carried out creative activities there.

Among them are Spanish painter Salvador Dali, Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani, Claude Monet, Pablo Picasso and Vincent Van Gogh, etc.

This makes the cultural and artistic atmosphere here especially strong, which also attracts the entire French and even European entertainment industry to flock to this place.

One day, Paris will truly be able to speak of a European "Hollywood." Probably only Montmartre in district 18.

Tonight, a grand reception takes place at the Hotel Saint-Ouen-Marche-Pousse in Montmartre.

Vivendi Universal Group is here to entertain corporate guests from the Americas.

Because the guest's status is so high, the question of the guest's preferences is also raised.

Tonight, Vivendi Entertainment has attracted almost every famous star in Europe. These stars are also happy to join us, here is Spike's invitation.

In Hollywood, this is almost like an invitation from Murdoch Smith.

Who can refuse and who can refuse?

We're only halfway through the reception.

Many people discovered that the main object at Vivendi's party had disappeared. Luckily, the CEO of Vivendi Universal Group and Spike of Vivendi Entertainment are still around.

With the presence of two great figures, this welcome will once again be a top priority.

As before, people occasionally left and reappeared in pairs during the reception.

The hustle and bustle outside only masks the movement in some hotel rooms.

As he gasped for breath, the sound gradually became quieter. Hotel St. Ounma Chepsey, in the women's restroom there is a sign under repair.

Finally completely calmed down.

Minutes later.

In the bathroom, the sound of changing clothes was heard again.

The suit was worth tens of thousands of dollars, the tailor-made suit from a famous tailor was wrinkled. There was also the latest Chanel, an Hermès evening outfit that was in danger of falling apart.

what a shame.

"You are so charming, Miss Cruz."

While arranging clothes, the man looked at the woman with satisfied eyes.

"You can call me Penelope, Mr. Smith."

The woman's voice was hoarse after something happened.

There is an indescribable temptation. After washing everything that comes into contact with the surface with clean water.

She turned around and even though she had just washed her face, she had already put on makeup.

She is still a European goddess who already has the title "Beauty of Spain's national treasure".

"You can also call me Abel, Penelope."

Abel finished arranging his clothes, went to Penelope Cruz's house and looked in the mirror to check his appearance.

"Honestly, it was my best thing ever. »

Penelope Cruz smiled seductively, her charming face looking very pleased, "I think I'm in love with you, Mr. Smith."

"Me too." » Abel said smiling and reaching out to Penelope next to him. Of course he won't believe it. People will say nice things.

is a young beauty carrying a Spanish national treasure, always with very good aesthetic taste.

Skilled technique along with the most beautiful and mature body at the age of 27 is quite impressive.

Oh, and another French kiss brought him back. She is also very nice.

So good that Abel goes crazy for her.

Abel then concluded.

Perhaps it's because of the emotional reward.

So much so that she was so tired that she didn't leave the cabin. "Go call Sophie. It's time for me to go out. If I don't go out again, Mr. Messier will probably think I'm gone." Abel smiled.

Penelope Cruz flashed a flattering smile and watched him leave the bathroom.

Wait until he actually leaves. Penelope walked up to a stall in the women's restroom and knocked on the door, "Sophie, are you still not recovered? He's gone."

In the box came the tired voice of Sophie Marceau.

"Huh? After I left, I was so tired. Penelope, I feel like he's targeting me. Does it seem like he likes me more? »

Penelope felt a little jealous, she had the impression that Sophie was showing off.

But actually before that man was more interested in Sophie Marceau.

Even though I'm younger and have a better body.

"It was my hallucination," said Penelope. "Sophie, we are all the same. We are just desserts for the big guys."

"Hehe. Do me a favor, Penelope, help me. I really don't have the strength anymore, my legs are so soft."

Penelope cursed silently but still went to help Sophie Marceau.

After all, Penelope knows that against the big guys, one plus one will always be bigger than two.

At that time, Sophie Marceau and I should unite a little. Only then maybe we can get higher scores from the big guys.

Until the next time you return to Hollywood, perhaps it's time for you and Sophie to blossom in Hollywood.

Following the two European goddesses, they helped each other out of the bathroom.

Only a Rock Security bodyguard suddenly appeared and removed the "under maintenance" sign hanging on the door handle of the women's restroom.

It wasn't until later that someone returned to that bathroom. This is someone who came here and thought the smell inside was strange.

And this is what happened.

Go further.

It was about ten o'clock this morning.

Arriving at the entrance to the Vivendi building, he was greeted by most of the senior executives of the Vivendi Universal corporation. It was Abel's procession that had just arrived from the Champs-Élysées.

Abel came to Vivendi this time mainly to sign a share purchase contract with Vivendi Universal Group.

After three months of negotiations.

In Abel's case, he implements many methods off the field.

Vivendi Universal Group, which owns 20% of NBC TV's capital, eventually had to give up its stake in NBC TV. After that, there was a long negotiation between the two sides.

Finally, Vivendi Universal Group agreed to sell its shares at a valuation of $20 billion.

These shares were purchased by Vivendi four years ago for $2.9 billion.

Four years later, this amount would become $4 billion, which would be a profit for Vivendi no matter what.

This happened right after NBC TV lost shares. Vivendi Universal's strategy to expand in the United States and cover all media areas failed.

But the board of directors and shareholders also understand this.

Because even Vivendi himself knows that the Americans have begun to focus on Vivendi.

Vivendi, the company that already owns Universal Music and Universal Movies, could still become the boss of the NBC television channel.

It's very possible that the Americans will make it to the finish line. It is because of this ability and Abel's off-market means.

Plus, there are actually a lot of benefits.

Vivendi eventually had to give up an important territory in its North American grand strategy.

Choose Congxin and sell 20% shares of NBC TV to Abel.

Abel's main goal in Paris is also to gain 20% of the shares. Today he came to the door to sign the contract.

The contract signing process went very smoothly, after all, the two sides had been negotiating for several months before.

Of course, the teams on both sides discussed everything that needed to be discussed.

Abel's presence only shows how much he values ​​the actions of the 20%.

The focus is still on Vivendi Universal group. "Happy cooperation."

After signing the contract, Abel spoke to Vivendi's senior executives with a smile.

Compared to the old people at EDF, the senior leaders of Vivendi Universal Group generally speak English.

There is no need for translation between the two parties.

"Happy cooperation." Jean-Marie Messier also declared with a smile.

After signing the contract. CEO Jean-Marie Messier politely brought Abel to visit Vivendi Universal.

The reason is that today Abel is not only the chairman of Smith Media Group.

He is also one of the shareholders of Vivendi Universal group.

Vivendi Universal Group is a company listed in Paris, France.

The French stock market currently has the fifth largest market capitalization in the world. In addition to US, Japanese, Hong Kong and British stocks, the total market value of the Paris stock exchange currently ranks 5th in the world.

But he would soon be overtaken by Big A, then finish sixth for a long time.

After 2022, it will again be fifth.

At that time, under the promotion of Prime Minister Lettuce and the British Prime Minister, the British stock market successfully fell to sixth place, losing to the French stock market.

Furthermore, world-famous luxury and cosmetics corporations such as LVMH, Hermès and L'Oréal are all listed on the Paris Stock Exchange. Still, as one of only two or three countries in the world with a thriving industry, France still has some hard power.

The embodiment of this type of hard power is that France does not rely on Wall Street but also has its own stock market.

As soon as he wanted to buy back the NBC television channel, Abel continuously bought shares of Vivendi Universal group.

To date, he holds about 3% of Vivendi Universal's shares.

Big and small are equal shareholders. Vivendi Universal Group is willing to sell NBC shares to it and there may be certain factors involved in this regard.

As a shareholder, the CEO naturally has the obligation to take them on a tour of the company.

Abel was also in the Vivendi Universal group, which took almost an hour.

At noon, he declined an invitation to lunch from Vivendi executives, but accepted an invitation to an evening reception.

Because Abel knows that in European and American high society. All forms of entertainment, sometimes absolutely necessary, are the best channels to expand your social circle.

Even Rockefeller and others wanted to host or participate in various receptions.

That is the habit of both Europe and America, it can even be said that it is the habit of all humanity.

Even Tianchao, in fact, they also like to hold such receptions.

Just not as popular as here, most of them are held in the name of birthday parties, wedding parties, childbirth parties, etc. It will not be like in Europe and the United States, where our dogs give birth to puppies, and ordinary Europeans and Americans will celebrate

Abel also switched from protesting to participating based on his current mood.

These past two days he has been in a very good mood because he achieved the achievement of taking off for the first time with little Laura.

He thought about taking the two of them together in the evening so they could have fun together.

When he returned to the villa in District 16.

But I found out that little Laura might not be able to stay with her in Europe anymore. "Is Herbert sick?"

Abel was very surprised.

Little Laura's grandfather, Herbert, the patriarch of the Bush family, is ill.

Still seriously ill, Laura's parents want her back.

In any case, Herbert was seventy-seven years old.

Although he was in good shape during the week, he also enjoyed the best medical conditions in the world. But this time he caught a cold and was seriously ill.

The Bush family rushed home.

As long as Abel knows, the old man can live another ten or twenty years.

"Correct." Little Laura said with concern:

"While hunting, my grandfather wanted to hunt a wild boar and fell into a puddle. No one was hurt, but he was completely drenched. He did not change his clothes immediately, rode into the wind and then caught a cold.

"Is this serious?"

Although I still want to stay in Europe for a while, I don't want to return to the United States within a month.

But if Herbert is really in danger.

Abel knew that with his current condition, he still had to return.

He already knew that on the Bush family side, it was Herbert who always insisted on marrying him.

Without Herbert's support. Little Laura is such a reasonable and sensible civil servant that I guess I couldn't even meet him.

Thanks to little Laura, Abel is now somewhat grateful to Herbert.

"That's much better." Little Laura comforts Abel:

"My dad told me that if I wanted to go back, there was no need at all. Grandpa, just let our grandchildren go back."

"Oh, that's right." Little Laura thought for a moment and then added to Abel:

"After my grandfather learned that you were in Europe, he also asked my father to ask how long you would stay in Europe."

"Last time you told me it would take more than a month. I told my grandfather through my father. Then my grandfather said you have to do a good job in Europe, do a good job in Europe and then come back to the United States. It's not too late.

To be honest, Abel had no idea at first.

but now.

He looked seriously at Laura, she still seemed worried about Herbert.

"Alright. So I won't go back. So you go back to Texas first." Abel said.

"Correct." Little Laura agreed.

After sending little Laura away, Abel couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Because it's a coincidence. Today is August 15th.

The thing Abel wanted to avoid the most was less than a month away.

In fact, Abel went to Europe at the end of July, he actually just wanted to not stay in the United States during this period.

What if Manhattan isn't chosen this time but Queens instead?

Bringing little Laura here also implies this thought. Available now.

As for the shrub family, Herbert was sick at the time.

Then call back all the young generations of shrubs.

Once you know you are in Europe, let yourself do well in Europe and stay longer.

Looking at these things individually, they are all normal. But in short, in the eyes of Abel, who had reincarnated memories, it was a bit unusual.

Is this really a conspiracy theory?

Abel is not sure.

But he wasn't too worried.

Because he was prepared for that. His family comes first.

Alexander, the Tarrant County sheriff, had only been to New York once in his life.

Now I'm the police chief, I'm very busy every day.

Abel also entrusted him with the establishment of Pacific Mall.

Alexander is unlikely to go to New York. Not to mention Emily, Smith Farm is now completely managed by her.

She still had to take care of pregnant Charlize, and couldn't let her leave without a reason.

As for grandfather and grandmother, both have not left Texas for more than 20 years.

Unless Abel gets married in Texas, the two elders won't be able to leave.

And Abel felt it in his relationship with the Bush family. As long as there's no problem on my side.

The bush family will likely look to keep their loved ones in Texas when the time comes.

The premise is that this is actually a conspiracy.

Then there are the women themselves.

Ikana left for California and would not return to New York until the baby was born. If you want to return, you can also call the bodyguard team to find out first to avoid any problems.

Not to mention Charlize, her belly is already big and she's always with Emily.

Jessica and Annie, Annie is by my side.

Jessica and Scarlett are both in Los Angeles.

Abel decided that when time was almost up, he would ask MGM to find them jobs that wouldn't allow them to leave Los Angeles. Their route is not difficult to control.

Then there are two Australian girls, Liv and another's wife, Blanchett, who have returned to Australia for a holiday.

There are security guards next to them.

Finally, there are Elizabeth's angels.

They are the best arrangement. Since the beginning of this year, Isa has planned to launch in early September this year.

Let all the angels come to Europe to expand their business and make efforts to open the European Isa market.

It can be said that he arrived in Europe early.

Abel was able to steer his people, through Rock Security and several corporations, away from Manhattan for certain periods of time.

If an accident could happen like this, I wouldn't care. Because that's already the limit to do that.

If it were more clear.

This may then attract the attention of some parties.

As for Abel, he arrived in Europe at the end of July.

And the activity and methods here are constant, the companies are acquiring one after another and it seems that they are actively expanding the European market. If you stay for a month or two, if there are any doubts, it will be deliberately aimed at him.

I think if this really was a conspiracy, maybe the Bush family would have told him at that time.

This is the benefit of doing thigh presses when you are still very weak.

The passing of little Laura has drawn attention to this issue.

After thinking, Albers was sure that nothing was missing. If there are any shortcomings, you can also use stone security to compensate for the delay at the end.

He felt a little relieved and went to look for Annie who hadn't left yet.

He brought in Aymer Alamuddin.

Little Laura has disappeared.

If you're upset about "twins" right now, is Abel still Abel? It was as much to Anne's surprise and disappointment as it was to Aymo Alamuddin's surprise.

An English imitation of Anne, an American Anne.

The two Annies played together until evening.

The result was a late-night Vivendi reception that none of them were able to attend.

Because my arms and legs were numb, walking was a problem. It was Abel who washed up and went to the reception in the 18th arrondissement of Paris.

It was a little after seven o'clock in the evening.

Abel's motorcade slowly approached the entrance of the Chepsey Hotel in St. Owen.
