America's Road to Wealth

During this meal, little Laura ate a little carelessly.

She ate this meal much faster than when she and Abel ate alone before.

After eating almost.

She even smiled and pulled Jessica Li, waved to Abel, and said she wanted to go back to school to prepare, and said she was going to class.

Jessica Li wanted to say that she wasn't full yet, and she hadn't even eaten her milk fish soup yet.

She needs energy so that she can sustain her consumption.

But little Laura couldn’t help but say something. After Abel smiled and nodded, he pulled Jessica Li away.

Jessica Li could only smile at Abel in a friendly manner, and then left with little Laura.

Marcus, the leader of the U.S. Secret Service team, also said goodbye to Edward, then called his team members and left with the protected person.

After they are all gone.

Edward came over and whispered to Abel:

"Boss, we have found out. This Jessica Li is a member of a family named Li in Han Kingdom."

Abel nodded: "Do you have any exact information?"

Edward immediately responded: "I'll have it delivered right away."

Ten minutes later, when Abel was killing the last Icelandic-flavor roasted leg of lamb.

Doni sent a piece of A4 paper.

Abel swallowed the last bite of mutton.

He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth. Edward handed him a basin of water and Abel washed his hands.

After Abel washed his hands and wiped them clean with a sheep's towel, he picked up the A4 paper handed over by Tony.

【Korean name:】

[Chinese name: Li Xinyu]

[English name: Jessica·Li]

[Date of birth: November 18, 1979]

[Academic experience: In June 2000, graduated from Ewha Womans University in Seoul with bachelor's degrees in French and French literature and art. In September 2000, he entered New York University's Stanfield School of Education to study arts management. In March 2001, he changed his major and entered New York University School of Law's major in international economic law.]

[Family relationship: Father Li Xizai, mother Hong.]

【.】

Just scanned it briefly.

Abel confirmed the identity of little Laura's best friend.

That's a great countryman.

As for why a Han nationality's name in the information has a Chinese name.

This is because although the Han Dynasty had its own writing, there was no intonation distinction.

Just like the Chinese pinyin does not mark the tones, there will be many characters with the same tones, so it is very difficult to distinguish.

Like Zhang San, Zhang Shan, Zhang Shan, etc., the pronunciation and writing in Korean are exactly the same.

Therefore, in order to distinguish their names, Han people use Chinese to mark their names, so that there will be no problem of being unable to confirm their identity with their ID cards.

In fact, this is not mandatory.

It's just that the Han people were afraid that it would be unclear, so they took the initiative to put Chinese names on their ID cards.

According to statistics, more than 80% of the ID cards in Hanguo have Chinese names on them.

"She is the youngest daughter of the chairman of Sanxing Group."

Abel remembered.

In parallel time and space, this person seems to be the one who hanged himself in an apartment in New York a few years later.

She attended New York University.

It was in the information that Li Xinyu changed her major in March this year, which attracted Abel's attention.

Abel remembered little Laura, who also transferred to New York University in Manhattan in March this year.

You must know that before this, little Laura was studying in college preparatory classes at Rice University in Texas.

This Miss Li Xinyu happened to change her major at this time, and she soon became good friends with little Laura.

Abel suspected it was more than a coincidence.

But the Secret Service and the Shrub Family have to deal with this kind of thing.

Abel felt that since Li Xinyu could be so close to little Laura.

It should have been registered with the Secret Service and approved.

Otherwise, little Laura would be deceived.

With the energy of the Shrub Family and the capabilities of the Secret Service, Li Xinyu will also be prevented from getting close to little Laura.

Besides, the entire country of Han is shaped like the United States.

Those chaebols themselves are the white gloves and managers of American capitalists in Asia.

With this kind of relationship, Li Xinyu can't change the world.

There is a high probability that Li Xinyu will do little harm to little Laura, even if he has some purpose.

Thinking of this, Abel put the matter aside for the time being.

Just before leaving and walking out of the Brandy Restaurant.

Abel couldn't help but think to himself - this Li Xinyu didn't know what to eat when she grew up.

Why are the headlights so big?

Could it be that Hex Technology of Han Kingdom was added?

Can her family background and appearance. It seems like she doesn’t need to add Hex Technology to her own body to attract men, right?

That headlight.

Almost as good as Ikana.

The problem is that Ikana is 1.8 meters tall, and her frame can support it, so she looks very coordinated overall.

This Li Xinyu is at most about 1.6 meters tall, about the same height as little Laura.

Slim waist, slender shoulders, small hips, but unscientifically so big.

If Hex Technology had not been added, Abel felt that it could only be understood through genetic mutation.

It didn’t take long after I walked out of the restaurant and got into the Cadillac STS in the middle of the motorcade.

Abel received a text message from little Laura.

[Jessica just said nonsense. I don't like racing! I haven’t even started taking the driver’s license test yet. 】

Abel smiled.

He has actually known about little Laura's hobby for a long time.

After knowing that if he married the Shrub family, the partner would be little Laura.

Abel also conducted some investigations into the information about her.

After the investigation, he roughly understood some things about little Laura. Only then will you be less repelled by this matter.

What if his marriage partner was changed to Little Laura's other cousin, Enoch Shrub.

Abel would never agree.

Compared to Ainosh, Xiaoshu's twin daughters are much more beautiful than her.

In addition, the daughter of Laura's second uncle is also very shocking in her words and deeds.

Little Laura is truly the best-looking one in this generation of her family, both in appearance and personality.

The Bush family was willing to push out little Laura instead of the more age-appropriate Barbara and the three of them.

Obviously there is also this part of the consideration. They also know someone's virtues.

Abel remembered.

In the information about little Laura.

There is a record of this little girl liking cars and going to F1 and other car races held in the United States.

The above records were not very detailed. At first, Abel thought it was just an ordinary liking.

But today it seems that little Laura is still a car fan.

And that Li Xinyu seems to be a car fan too. Even if she is not a true car fan, she is still related to cars.

Car headlights.

Abel couldn't help shaking his head, trying to shake them out.

But they are really too big.

Once you see it, it’s hard to forget.

Abel replied to little Laura.

【It turns out to be fake. If it is true, I would also like to take you to Indiana to watch the F1 Grand Prix early next month. I just checked and it said it started on June 8th, which is not that long from now. 】

It only took about a minute before this long text message was sent.

Abel's No. 1 cell phone dinged, and little Laura's text message came back.

[I actually really don’t like watching racing. But you boys all like cars. If you want to go, I can go with you! 】

After reading the message, Abel smiled slightly, this little Laura is really tough-talking.

[I'm not interested in racing. I only like to ride in safe cars. If you don't like it, forget it. 】

Enter, send.

Sent successfully.

At this moment, Abel particularly wanted to know what expression would be on little Laura's face.

"Haha~" In the back compartment, Abel couldn't help but smile, and then he said to Edward on the passenger side:

"Contact David Jones, David Jones."

David Jones, Abel's life steward, has been around since Abel had the idea of ​​building the Laurentian Flower Manor.

David spent half of his time there.

So much so that my time with Abel has been a bit short recently.

"Understood." Edward was about to call when he heard his boss suddenly say:

"Wait a minute, forget it. Let David continue with Zaha Hadid's progress. Give me your No. 2 phone."

Edward handed Abel's No. 2 mobile phone, which was his business phone, to his boss.

Abel took it and found the phone number of Alan Baker, the core of the advisory group.

On weekdays, when there is no business need or business travel.

Abel's huge advisory team will only have one legal representative who will always be with Abel.

to handle any legal issues Abel may encounter at any time.

Other members of the advisory team usually work on the fourth floor of Smith Capital.

Recently, the fourth floor of Smith Capital has been turned into a financial safe house, so they can only temporarily work on the third floor.

These people also have to deal with various business requirements that the boss may make at any time.

At the same time, he also acts as a middleman, handling documents and affairs submitted by various companies under Abel's name every day.

In Abel's business territory, they basically fulfilled the role of "Military Aircraft Department" and "Cabinet" required by Abel.

Just to help Abel deal with the less important but very complicated matters of various small and large companies.

For example, the internal integration of the new American Pacific Energy Company.

As small as the Elizabeth Back Garden Company, it is about to apply for the establishment of a star model training department.

He also had to manage the income and taxes from some private properties in Abel's name.

When Abel needs time, a large number of personnel must be mobilized to accompany Abel in starting the merger and acquisition work between enterprises.

In Abel's business, his advisory group does everything.

This also allowed this group of people to go from seven people at the beginning to more than twenty people later.

So far, the total number of people, both inside and outside, has reached hundreds.

There are about fifty people working in Smith Capital every day.

The remaining members of the advisory team traveled around the United States, visiting or conducting research among various companies under Abel's name.

This keeps all members of the advisory team very busy every day.

Currently, the person in charge of the more than 100 people is Alan Baker, a former senior actuary and business manager of the European division.

The call was quickly connected, and Alan Baker's voice came from the phone receiver.

"BOSS."

"Well Allen, I need you to help me investigate and see if there are any F1 teams that can be acquired in the near future."

Alan Baker: "Is it an F1 team?"

"Yes. I want to buy an F1 racing team, preferably an American F1 racing team."

"Sorry. Boss, although I don't know much about F1. But as far as I know, there doesn't seem to be an American team in F1." Alan Baker said.

Abel: “No????”

Later, when Abel returned to the company, the people on the advisory team also did some understanding and investigation.

Abel only found out now in 2001.

There really are no F1 racing teams in the United States.

F1 is the abbreviation of the World Formula One Championship.

It is the highest level annual track racing series organized by the International Motor Sports Federation (FIA).

It is the highest level of racing competition in the world today.

In the eyes of car fans, it is known as the "three major sports events in the world" together with the Olympic Games and the World Cup.

Its annual viewership is as high as 60 billion.

It is also one of the tournaments with the highest advertising revenue in the world.

On the body of F1 racing cars, each car is distributed with 36 advertising spaces of varying sizes from 21 sponsors.

These advertising spaces can bring in $300 million in revenue to teams with outstanding performance every year.

The advertising spaces range from large to small. The smallest advertising space is about the size of a palm, but is worth US$1.3 million a year.

Obviously, the limited space and expensive car body cannot meet the advertising needs of many advertisers, nor can it fully cater to their advertising creativity.

As a result, teams, drivers, and racing cars have all become advertising entities for major world-renowned companies.

The above are all data released by the FIA.

After listening to what Alan Baker said, Abel took out his No. 1 mobile phone.

After he deliberately sent that message, little Laura didn't reply.

I don’t know if I’m angry or if I’m going to class.

He looked at the phone and smiled, then looked up at Alan Baker.

"There would be no American teams. Allen, tell me which F1 team we can acquire."

Before the boss Abel arrived.

The professionals on the advisory team have obviously conducted investigations quickly.

Alan Baker originally didn’t know much about F1, but with the support of professional business intelligence, he was able to talk to Abel at this time——

"At present, there are three F1 teams that are not difficult to acquire. They are Feijian Racing Team, Prost Racing Team and Benetton Racing Team."

Abel nodded and said, "Tell us about these three teams."

In the short period of time just now, before the boss arrived, Alan Baker had already written down some information about these teams.

"The first is Benetton. It was born in 1986 and has won one constructor championship and two driver championships. It is worth mentioning that it was the debut team of the famous racing driver Schumacher, but Schumacher left in 1996 it."

"But last year, there were rumors that Renault was in talks with the Benetton team. If we joined, we might compete with Renault. We agreed that it was not necessary because there are two other teams."

After Allen said so much, Abel only remembered that this team was the team where Schumacher made his debut.

Car king Michael Schumacher is probably the first person that most Chinese people think of when they hear F1.

But now that Schumacher has left and there are competitors, the advisory group still says it is not necessary.

Then Abel followed suit and motioned for Alan Baker to continue.

"Behind us are Team Feijian and Team Prost."

"Let's talk about the Prost team first. This team was founded by the legendary driver, racing professor, and four-time world champion Alain Prost."

"Founded in 1997, it is the youngest team in F1. This team's performance is very poor and it has not won any awards so far."

"Even founder Prost claimed that this team was the worst thing that happened to him in his life. It has changed five drivers in a row and ranked 9th last year."

Alan Baker said: "It seems that we are only one step away from bankruptcy."

Abel nodded and motioned for him to continue talking about the last convoy.

"Finally, there is Feijian Racing Team. This team was established very early, in 1978. But the results are the same as Prost's, and they are still blank until now."

"The news media said that since 1998, Feijian has become a team that "lives and wins". Like Prost, it is also a team that is only one step away from bankruptcy."

After listening to Alan Baker's last narration, Abel pointed directly at Alan.

"Just this flying sword and what? Yes, the Prost team!" Abel said:

"Contact their owner and buy them for me."

"Them?" Alan Baker asked respectfully:

"You mean, buy both teams?"

"Yes." Abel said:

"When I eat delicious food, I like to eat two portions at a time. When I buy a team, I also want to buy two at a time. That's the David Stern, who does not allow one person to own two NBA teams. I now Buying teams, since there are two, then I will buy them both. Don’t tell me, F1, like the NBA, does not allow one person to own two teams."

Alan Baker thought about it carefully and confirmed that the information found by the team did not say that one person in F1 could only buy one team.

Allen said: "It should be possible. We can try to contact these two teams and then contact the FIA."

"Pa~"

Abel snapped his fingers: "Then go."

Alan Baker nodded.

This is the core of the advisory group. Seeing that the boss has such a firm attitude.

He also stopped explaining to his boss the cost of maintaining an F1 team.

Because Allen also knows that for ordinary wealthy people, the cost of raising an F1 team is a huge amount.

For his boss, it is just a small amount of money that saves him from buying one or two luxury houses and one or two planes a year.

As the core of the advisory group, Allen is well aware of the terrible cash flow of his boss.

Allen feels that with the boss's cash flow, as long as there are no major problems.

Not to mention two F1 racing teams.

Even if he buys ten F1 racing teams, the boss can still afford them.

Maybe the FIA ​​could allow the boss to buy two racing teams.

But it is estimated that the boss will not be allowed to buy ten racing teams.

Because this year the entire Formula 1 race.

There are only eleven racing teams in total.
