America's Road to Wealth

February 21, 2001.

The Wall Street Journal, on its front page.

Reports related to Abel were published.

The Wall Street Journal was founded in 1889.

With a daily circulation of more than 2 million copies, it has become the largest paid-circulation financial newspaper in the United States.

It is the most influential daily newspaper in the United States and even the world, focusing on reporting in the financial and business fields.

The readers of The Wall Street Journal are mainly people in politics, economics, education and medicine.

Among them, 200,000 chairman and general managers are its readers.

Most managers of the 500 largest companies in the United States subscribe to this newspaper.

This newspaper is on this day.

On its front page, there was a headline like this——

"Stock Angel Reborn from Nirvana?" No, it is the financial Moses who has come to part the Red Sea! 》

【.Those elderly and outstanding family financial planners in the United States may all remember a name - Peter Lynch. 】

[Yes, that is our once famous stock angel Peter Lynch. 】

[. Peter Lynch became the manager of Magellan Fund in 1977. Since then, his legendary investment career began. 】

[In 1977, when Peter Lynch first became the fund manager of Magellan Fund. The Magellan Fund only has $20 million in its account. 】

[Thirteen years later, this number has grown to US$14 billion, with an average annual compound return rate of 29.2%. 】

[.. Peter’s rate of return is much higher than even Warren Buffett’s during the same period. 】

[.For example, from 1977 to 1981, Peter Lynch's total return was as high as 352.4%, outperforming the market by 308.2%, and Buffett's total return was 247.9%, outperforming the market by 203.7%. 】

【.This is the glorious past of the former stock angel. 】

【.But we have to look at the present, we have to look at the present, we cannot look at the past. 】

[Now in 2001, the country has entered into a period of great inflation, oil crisis, Internet bubble, skyrocketing energy and food prices, local protectionism, and declining domestic economic growth...]

[Many factors are intertwined, almost forcing family financial managers to a dead end, and they don’t know where to go. 】

[At this time, in New York, on Wall Street. 】

[A new "Peter Lynch" appears. No, he was even more exaggerated than Peter. His name was Abel Smith. 】

[Abe Smith, this year.]

【.】

This Wall Street Journal article is quite long.

Normally, the newspaper's coverage is mixed.

The long ones are one or two thousand words long, and the short ones are several hundred words long.

Today’s front page headline is already a very long article.

It's almost four thousand words.

Among the "Wall Street Journal" reports, it also falls into the category of longer content.

It starts with Peter Lynch and Buffett, "competing on the same stage" from the 1970s to the 1990s, and finally leads to Abe Smith of this era.

In the middle, the information that Smith Capital sent to investors yesterday is listed in detail.

For example, during the 180-day closing period, the total investment amount is US$3 billion.

After the closed period, the balance in the private equity company's account was US$14.6 billion.

All the information, etc., were disclosed.

Finally at the end of the article.

The author of the article declares that stock angel Peter Lynch is a thing of the past.

The Wall Street Journal also mentioned Buffett’s $16 billion investment in Smith Capital.

I also use this incident to prove that Buffett, who is still active, is already in the past continuous tense.

What appears now is the future tense, the "Moses of Finance", Abel Smith.

If not for the newspaper that published the report.

This is what the "Wall Street Journal", a newspaper that can be called old-fashioned and does not know how to adapt to, has always reported more words than pictures.

Many Americans have seen reports like this.

Everyone probably thought that this newspaper received money from Abel.

But now, such a report appears in the Wall Street Journal.

And it was not acquired by Abel.

This makes the Wall Street Journal report appear more credible.

At one time, three billion dollars in 180 days.

It turned into $14.6 billion.

It has quickly become one of the hottest spots in the entire United States.

This is also following hot news topics such as "Smith Storm", "Isa's Show", and "The New King of Wall Street is Born".

A new hot spot happened to Abel again.

Different from the previous times.

Faced with this situation this time, Abel was able to call and get a general idea.

He made a direct call into the white house.

Not a few minutes later.

Laura, her uncle, started talking with Abel.

"Are you here again? George, you are trying to flatter me again. I am still so young."

"Ha~"

Xiaoshu's hearty voice came from the phone, "What's wrong with this? There are too many people who don't even want such treatment."

"It's really nice. But you held me up too high. I'm afraid that if I fall, I will be shattered to pieces."

Abel's face was expressionless. He was at Smith Capital when he made this call.

"Don't be afraid. My dear, you still have us behind you. Besides, who said this new lamp bead of yours is still so dazzling even if we don't polish it for you. Those guys think that if this is the case, then just let it shine You should be more dazzling."

"No matter how dazzling it is, it can't compare to the sun. After the sun comes out, the lamp beads will lose their light."

"There is no sun. There is no real sun in this world. There are only you lamp beads."

"alright, I got it."

"Hahaha~ By the way, be mentally prepared. Maybe after a while, you will receive a Medal of Freedom."

"Do you think the lamp beads are not bright enough?"

"Hahaha~ Let's just say that. By the way, remember to date little Laura more often. She will go to New York to go to college next month."

"Okay."

"."

The call was hung up.

Abel also confirmed that he was indeed taken out by the lighthouse again this time and polished again.

But unlike last time, he was a little frightened by the storm this time.

These old Ansa are not afraid of praising others too highly.

When it falls, it will be smashed to pieces!

As a result of his cowardice, he left New York the next day.

He ran away.

He chose to go back to Texas.

February 22nd.

The Abels were already in Tarrant County.

At this time, American public opinion is in the midst of a craze initiated by the Wall Street Journal.

Reports on the “Financial Moses” have become feverish.

So much so that even non-serious entertainment media and talk shows have started a new round of Smith storm.

This time it may be because of the small shrubs in the white house.

This time the storm of public opinion has become even crazier.

This made Abel have to complain that these white guys just don't know what moderation is.

Including his own grandfather and father!

When I got the chance to blow, I blew like crazy.

But this time, Abel stopped playing with them.

Abel wisely did not continue to be exposed in front of the media, but chose to go back to the countryside to hide for a few days.

But he did not return to Smith Farm.

Because it is obvious that the media cannot find him.

They might go there to find him.

Smith Farm had to receive them because of Alexander's appointment.

So I might be harassed when I go home.

Abel came directly to his security company.

He was in a farm and military training ground covering more than 200 square kilometers.

Surrounded by thousands of rock security staff and family members.

He felt much safer.

Sunnis Mountain Farm, the new headquarters of Rock Security.

In the beginning, when Abel bought it from a Florida guy.

It is only over 141 square kilometers in size.

Later, one after another, Abel also purchased the surrounding farms.

The total area of ​​the entire training ground + farm is two hundred square kilometers.

Here, Abel lived a life of resting from sunset to work at sunrise.

Later he became interested and even went directly to the wilderness to survive in the woods.

It's just that his wilderness survival is so unprofessional.

Even the cabin for survival in the wilderness was built for him by the staff of Rock Security.

There is also no shortage of shotguns, chain saws, firewood, daily necessities, food, etc.

At most, they just moved from the mansion on the farm to the cabin in the forest.

There were even more than twenty faceless rock security PMCs around the cabin, hiding and hiding around to protect him.

These PMCs even brought professional shoulder-borne individual air defense missiles

In addition, he is not surviving alone in the wilderness.

He cast Charlize Theron, who hasn't had much work lately.

He was also called over to accompany him to "survive in the wilderness".

Early March 2001.

It doesn’t snow anymore in Texas.

But at this time, in the morning, evening and night, the temperature occasionally reaches below freezing.

Relatively cold.

So on this day, around eight or nine o'clock in the morning.

Charlize Theron has been here for almost half a month.

When she walked out of the cabin where she and Abel were "surviving in the wilderness".

Wearing simple clothes made of fur, she felt it was cold outside.

But she could only bite the bullet and come out.

Because she wanted to empty the contents of the "pee bucket" in the cabin.

The urine bucket, as the name suggests, is naturally used for peeing.

The cabin is narrow in space, and except for a bed and a simple fireplace, it is full of things.

There's no place to use a toilet inside, not to mention it's a wild place.

So the two people living here have a solution to three urgent needs.

Or just go directly to the woods to solve it.

Or you can only put it in a urine bucket and then throw it away. No matter whether it is big or small, it is solved in this way.

Of course, Charlize can't go to the woods to solve it.

She begged Abel to get a bucket to hold the excrement.

It just so happens that someone is so lazy that every time he goes to dump the excrement, Charlize has to do it himself.

This made Charlize furious.

I think of her as a beautiful woman at the peak of her youth.

It's enough to think about living the life of a female savage.

But she couldn't defeat Abel, not on any level, so she had no choice but to "suck it up" and become a savage with Abel.

"Wow~"

The goddess in countless men’s dreams, Charlize poured someone’s excrement and her own excrement into a dug pit.

Charlize, who was emptying the bucket of urine, had a bad expression.

Because even the hole was dug by Charlize himself with a shovel.

Charlize took the smelly bucket and went to the flowing river next to it to wash the bucket.

It won’t work if you don’t wash it, you’ll need to use it later.

After finishing all this, she returned to the outside of the cabin.

Only then did he see Abel open the door and come out.

Wearing a fur-stitched savage outfit similar to hers, he smiled and said "Good morning" to her.

Looking at the "savage" Abel in the sun, strong and healthy, exuding a kind of wild beauty.

Charlize had to admit.

Even in his raunchy appearance, the guy is still as handsome as ever.

Even in the days of primitive man, he was a handsome primitive man.

she thought to herself.

"What's for breakfast?" Charlize said a little resentfully, "What's for breakfast?"

"How about stew? We are savages now, so this is how we should eat."

Charlize took a deep breath, wanting to get angry, but held back.

After thinking for a while, Charlize said:

"Forget it. Let's eat the stew. By the way, you may need someone to send something over."

"Um?"

"My Aoi period has always been very accurate. If you calculate the time, it will be either today or tomorrow, and it should be here."

Charlize looked at him without hesitation:

"You're not going to let me wipe it with those furs, are you? I don't want bacterial infection!!"

"Well, okay." Abel smiled, and then suddenly stopped smiling, "Wait a minute, wouldn't it be true if you came to Kuiqi?"

"That's right." Charlize finally couldn't help laughing, "You can't hurt me anymore!"

After saying this, Charlize couldn't help but think of this time, the days when she was being yelled at by him all day long.

To be honest, if she didn't exercise regularly on weekdays.

After following Abel, she has been strengthening her endurance and physical fitness in order to "save her life".

This time in this cabin, the two of them were alone for about half a month.

Charlize felt that she might really be hurt by him!

Fortunately, except for the first few days, he was quite energetic.

In the next few days, Charlize felt that maybe he was tired of it, or maybe it was due to the special environment.

He doesn't yell at himself that much anymore.

This allowed Charlize to not have the energy to walk out of the cabin all day like she did at the beginning.

Thinking of this, Charlize looked at his aggrieved expression and couldn't help but smile and said:

"If you don't mind blood, I can do that too."

"I do not mind!"

She actually answered this immediately when she saw him.

"Madefak!" Charlize cursed angrily.

"Hahaha~" Abel said with a smile, "I'm not that kind of person. Don't worry, I can control it."

Although he said this, Abel was already thinking in his heart whether he should send Charlize away.

Find another person to accompany you to "survive in the wilderness".

Thinking like this, he didn't take action immediately.

Soon there was a female bodyguard who brought what Charlize needed.

But that night, Charlize had no use for it.

Her Aoi period didn't come as promised.

Abel breathed a sigh of relief and continued to hold on.

It was at this time that he noticed that Charlize seemed to be a little reluctant.

The next day, Charlize's day still didn't come.

Abel continued to hold on, but Charlize said she was in a little pain and begged to be let go.

Abel had to let her go.

On the third day, he didn't come either.

Charlize stopped Abel from climbing on top of her.

"There may be something wrong with my body," she said.

"Otherwise it would never be like this. You know, I haven't had a single mistake since I was eleven years old!"

"Then let's check it out." Abel was not unsympathetic to her.

Survival in the wilderness returned to survival in the wilderness, and she couldn't let anything go wrong with her body.

In addition, Abel himself was a little tired of it.

I'm tired of this kind of "wilderness survival".

I'm also a little tired of Charlize.

Don't doubt it, this is normal.

What's the saying?

The goddess that every one of you longs for.

Behind her, there will always be a man that she feels tired of.

Obviously, the man behind Charlize is Abel

No matter how beautiful the goddess is, she will eventually get tired of doing that kind of thing to her all day long.

A doctor soon came to check on Charlize.

Two buses were also brought directly that could perform blood tests and perform some basic physical examinations.

After the inspection, Abel received shocking news.

charlize,

pregnant.

Abel's first reaction was anger!

He felt like his hair had changed color!

He immediately summoned Edward and others.

You get angry for a while, but after the fire has passed.

He placed security around Charlize.

They are willing to guarantee with their lives that they have not seen any other man within one meter of Charlize.

They had to keep an eye on Charlize 24 hours a day, and it was absolutely impossible for what Abel thought to happen.

After all the hard work, I waited until I returned to the small town of Sunnis.

Abel was sure of one thing, and that was the life inside Charlize's belly.

is his.

He met Charlize, whom he hadn't seen for several hours, at his house in Sunnis Town.

"Really hit?"

This was the first thing Charlize said after meeting Abel.

"Did you have a plan?"

"Yes." Charlize said, "I replaced the medicine you asked me to take with vitamin tablets."

After she finished speaking.

Both fell silent.

All along, the women around Abel.

Including Charlize, they all take long-acting birth control pills for a long time.

Because Abel doesn’t want to have children so soon.

He himself is only twenty years old.

He was also worried that if he really couldn't handle the pressure, his wife from a wealthy family would cause unrest in the family because of this.

Also, the medicines Charlize and the others use are very expensive special products.

The drug is difficult to produce on a large scale because it is too expensive.

This drug only needs to be taken once every two to three days and has almost no side effects on women's bodies.

As long as you stop taking the medicine for more than five days, it's normal.

Just taking this drug once will cost about four to five thousand dollars.

It must also be taken for a long time.

Who knows that Abel doesn't like restraint, but he is also worried about the short-term and urgent impact on their bodies.

He can only bear the cost of about $100,000 per woman per month.

They have been taking the medicine all the time, and even have female bodyguards monitor and record every time they take the medicine.

Abel really took this kind of thing seriously.

This time, people around him felt that he was abnormal in this regard.

It's just that even his level of perversion cannot reach the perversion of many ordinary rich people.

Everyone just regarded it as his quirk.

Abel himself would occasionally check these records.

But this time while accompanying Abel to survive in the wilderness, Charlize secretly replaced the medicine she was taking with vitamin tablets.

She stayed with Abel all day long to "survive in the wilderness", and it was not like usual when she had female bodyguards and assistants monitoring her medication.

The first few days when she stopped taking medication were her most dangerous time.

At that time, Abel wasn't tired of it yet, so he drank hard all day long.

The maximum amount per day is estimated to be several hundred milliliters.

It would be strange if she missed.

"What are you going to do with me now?"

With tears in her eyes, Charlize looked at Abel stubbornly: "Sink me to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean?"
