America's Road to Wealth

June 11th.

In the afternoon, the 2001 F1 US Grand Prix schedule came to an end.

The winner of this year's US F1 Formula One championship is McLaren's Hakkinen, who is also a top racing driver.

The only one Abel knew, Schumacher, who already had the image of a car king, only finished second.

As for Abel's two teams.

Firstly, there are no outstanding racing drivers, and secondly, the racing cars themselves and other supporting facilities cannot keep up.

The acquisition time of Abel was too short, and there was no time to make rectifications and make money.

This time I am here to run with you.

Finished watching the game.

Li Xinyu and little Laura will naturally go back to New York to study.

This time the two of them stayed for almost a week, and there was no way they could not go back.

Abel did not return to New York with them.

He's going to Los Angeles.

According to the original plan, Li Fuzhen would also go to New York with her sister.

Li Fuzhen came to the United States this time just to recuperate and spend time with her sisters.

She has two sisters in New York. Li Xinyu is the youngest, and there is a second sister above her.

Li Fuzhen's other sister is studying at the Pass Fashion Institute of Design in New York.

But Li Fuzhen made a phone call home.

Not long afterward, Li Xinyu received news from home. The family told Li Xinyu that the eldest sister Li Fuzhen had a mission and could not accompany her back to New York.

Li Xinyu didn't think much about it. Under Abel's arrangement, she and little Laura got on Abel's other second-hand Gulfstream G400 and were sent back to New York.

As soon as they boarded the plane, Abel also took Li Fuzhen into his arms and boarded another Gulfstream G400.

These two Gulfstreams are free replacement aircraft provided by Gulfstream Aerospace Company to Abel.

After the two more advanced Gulfstream G450s ordered by Abel from Gulfstream leave the factory, they will have to be returned.

Of course, during Abel's own use.

Naturally, Abel has to pay for the maintenance and expenses of the aircraft.

Gulfstream G400, in the large soft sofa inside the aircraft.

Abel held Li Fuzhen, who was feeding him grapes.

It’s serious grape eating, not that kind of grape eating.

Even though he eats grapes, Abel has eaten them in the past two days.

"Samsung Group accounts for 20% of the country's total GDP, but your family's shares are less than 2%."

"Among ordinary shares, foreign investors account for 57.1%."

Abel looked at Li Fuzhen, while eating grapes, he chuckled and said:

"Your family is working for foreigners, especially Wall Street."

Of the 57.1% shares held by foreigners in the Samsung Group, more than 80% of the shares are held by American investment institutions.

Especially on Wall Street, financial institutions such as Citigroup and JPMorgan Chase each hold a high proportion.

The shareholding ratio of Hanguo's domestic institutional investors is only 19%.

The ownership structure of preferred stocks that can distribute money first and first is even more exaggerated.

89% of the preferred shares are held by foreign investors, and only 10.2% of the preferred shares are held by domestic investors and major shareholders in Hanguo.

This means that if the Samsung Group makes money, it wants to pay dividends.

Those who can get dividends first are given priority, and nearly 90% of the shares are foreigners.

To put it simply, when the Samsung Group makes money, it must first distribute it to foreigners, which is close to 90%.

After this part of the money is distributed, it will be the turn of Hanguo investors and the Li family of common stocks.

Of course Li Fuzhen knew all these situations.

But even her father accepted his fate.

As a marginalized member of the family, what can she do about this?

What's more, the Li family can't make much money, but they can still rely on the huge influence of the Samsung Group.

When he was domineering and prosperous in the Han Kingdom, what he should enjoy was also not withheld.

It can be said that he is happier than 99.99999% of Han people.

"After all, if we didn't make this choice at the time," Li Fuzhen said, "Samsung Group might have gone bankrupt long ago."

What Li Fuzhen is talking about here is what happened during the financial crisis in Han Dynasty in 1997.

Forced by circumstances at the time.

All the big companies in Han State were taken over by Wall Street.

Those local chaebols who dominate the peninsula only have the management and control rights of their companies, as well as their influence on the local area of ​​Han.

"Tell me." Abel reached out and stroked Li Fuzhen's beautiful face, "With my support, what will you do when you return to Han Kingdom?"

"It depends on what identity I return to Han Kingdom."

Li Fuzhen was very organized, and when his fingers passed by her mouth, she took them in with such charming eyes.

"Identity?"

Abel enjoyed her obedient service, "A major shareholder on Wall Street and an independent director on the board of directors of Samsung Group. How is this status?"

"It couldn't be better." Li Fuzhen released his fingers and said softly:

"If that's the case, I'll first be in the Samsung group and observe it carefully for a month or two. After I find out the outstanding points, I'll ask for some real power in the name of a director, such as becoming the controller of an important subsidiary. "

"My father's control and penetration of the Samsung Group is beyond even Wall Street's control. I can only invade it step by step."

Abel nodded slightly at Li Fuzhen's plan.

It's mainly the Li family, or the Han people are too obedient.

Unless Abel can completely say what he says on Wall Street.

Otherwise, it would be the same to the outside world if Li Fuzhen came to power or her old father continued to serve.

Because from the beginning to the end, those so-called big chaebols and big companies in the country are just American companies in the skin of the country.

90% of the profits they earn flow to the European and American world, most of which are owned by Wall Street.

The remaining 10% are not natives of Han Country.

Many will continue to be used as the company's own funds and R\u0026D expenditures.

The chaebols who dominate the peninsula are just wage earners on Wall Street.

"That's it." Abel thought for a while, then said:

"I will continue to acquire some shares of Samsung Electronics and other companies. After more than 5%, you can go back."

In 2001, the Samsung Group was already in the embryonic form of a technology giant, but fortunately it was not as powerful as it will be in the future.

At this time, the Samsung Group, their stocks are easy to buy on the Wall Street market.

Wait until around 2010, the mobile Internet began to go online.

The status of Samsung Group became more and more important. At that time, its profit value and market value also skyrocketed.

At that time, it became the treasure of Wall Street.

At that time, it was not so easy to buy a large amount of shares in Samsung Electronics.

This kind of company that pays dividends twice a year, with tens of billions of dollars each time, can only be done by Samsung, which has the right to operate.

Like Apple, which earns so much money, it pays a dividend of less than one dollar a year.

During the same period, the Samsung Group earned less than half of Apple's profits.

However, the money that Samsung pays dividends every year is as high as Apple for more than ten years.

Among other things, buy a large number of Samsung shares and leave them alone. The annual dividend alone is a huge number.

From Indianapolis, fly to Los Angeles, usually around four and a half hours.

Abel's Gulfstream G400 took off around five o'clock in the afternoon, and it was already past nine o'clock in the evening when it arrived in Los Angeles.

During this time period, night had already fallen, and the City of Angels was as brightly lit as ever.

Although there is no row upon row of high-rise buildings in New York, the lights on Beverly Hills still announce the prosperity of the city.

In the back of a low-key modified Cadillac Escalade in the middle of the Beverly Hills-bound convoy.

The raised partition blocks the view of the cab. The enhanced sound insulation material prevents the outside world from capturing even the slightest sound from the rear compartment.

Only the stable chassis of the vehicle, because of some powerful shock movements, caused slight vibration ups and downs.

It indicates that the battle situation in the rear is fierce and unsettled.

The sound of excited gasping gradually became lower.

After modifying the rear compartment of Cadillac Escalade, it finally became completely quiet.

A few minutes later, the sound of getting dressed was heard again.

Perhaps because it was too intense before, the tailor-made high-end suit was crumpled a little.

The latest Chanel dress, too, is in danger of falling apart.

"Next time I fly with you, I must change to a bigger plane."

While arranging his clothes, Abel sized up Li Fuzhen, who was half covered with clothes, with satisfied eyes.

The Gulfstream g400 is actually not that big, how big can a plane that can only carry 16 passengers at most.

Generally speaking, there will be no separate rooms on this small and mid-size business jet unless specifically designed to do so.

Some don't even have independent beds, at most they are just a big sofa.

The Gulfstream G400 provided by Gulfstream Aerospace to Abel is this popular model.

Want to play a private bedroom on the plane, you can even have a bathroom bathtub, and even run around with a car in it.

Then you must use a large aircraft, such as Abel's Boeing 747, which can do all the above.

It's a pity that in order not to attract attention, Abel took the Gulfstream G400 to the DC area first, and then flew from the DC area to Indianapolis.

He did not use his Boeing 747.

"I'm so tired~ The place here is too narrow." Li Fuzhen's voice was hoarse after XX.

There is an indescribable sense of temptation.

After wiping off the things that had to be left on the face because of forgetting to do some measures.

In the rear compartment of the Cadillac, in front of a custom-made vanity mirror specially prepared for female passengers, Li Fuzhen reattached the suspenders of the dress carelessly while checking her makeup.

"I've seen the news." Li Fuzhen's eyebrows were shining, her eyes were charming and gentle, and her voice was slightly hoarse, "It's news from the United States. It seems that my dear, you have a big plane? It seems to be a Boeing 747. In our country, there is Not many people have private jets.”

None of the Li family.

A high-end wage earner, what kind of private jet do you want?

Fortunately, the peninsula chaebols can use another way to travel. Without private jets, they can occupy the airline's flights.

Carefully observe the words of bullying incidents that appeared on the news by the rich second generations of the peninsula chaebols.

It can be surprisingly found that many of them happened on the flights of Asiana Airlines, Dahan Air and other airlines.

After getting dressed, Li Fuzhen lowered the curtain of the car window on the side she was on, and she looked out the window.

Li Fuzhen found that the vehicle was already driving halfway up the mountain.

From a high vantage point, you can see most of the Beverly Hills mansions and villas halfway up the mountain.

There is also the brilliant night view of Los Angeles in the distance.

Of course Li Fuzhen has been to Beverly Hills and lived in a mansion in Beverly Hills.

Even high-level migrant workers are not comparable to ordinary people.

She recognized the Beverly Hills in front of her at a glance and knew that Abel had taken her to a certain villa.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

The motorcade arrived at 9425 Sunset Boulevard in Beverly.

This is a luxury property hoarded by New Starting Real Estate Company in Los Angeles.

New Start Company has stocked up on more than twenty such luxury homes in Beverly Hills.

It cost Abel almost 300 million US dollars.

But in just over three months, the appreciation in value of these twenty-odd houses alone allowed New Starting Point Real Estate to earn at least 15%.

After the new leader came to power, the United States began to ease the economic policy, and a large number of dollars poured into the market. The U.S. real estate industry rose accordingly, and the U.S. real estate bull market has already made great strides.

Of course, New Starting Real Estate will not sell houses at this time.

Real estate will continue to rise in the future. If you hold these houses and sell them in four to five years, you can earn at least ten times.

Of course, in order to save money, make some money to pay local taxes.

New Beginning Real Estate after obtaining Abel's consent.

It rents out some of the relatively small and relatively low-priced houses in more than 20 Beverly mansions.

Use the rent earned to subsidize exaggerated local taxes.

Of course, those beautiful mansions with better locations, larger areas, or better construction will not be rented out.

They are the golden houses that Abel placed in Beverly Hills.

It can be used as temporary accommodation when necessary. Of course, it can also be used to hide your beauty.

The mansion on Sunset Boulevard is one of the larger houses with a good location.

The house sits on 1.14 acres and has 9 bedrooms, 14 and a half baths.

The spacious main house is equipped with two independent reception living rooms. There is a tennis court in the south of the villa, a home theater with surround sound system, which can accommodate 15 people to sit and watch movies and four other viewing areas.

There is also a fully equipped fitness center, bar, and staff quarters.

When Xinqidian Real Estate purchased it late last year, it was worth only $20 million.

Six months later, it is worth at least 25 million US dollars.

The prices of high-end real estate in the United States during the golden period of the real estate bubble were so exaggerated.

Li Fuzhen got out of the car and stepped into the villa courtyard.

The air in the courtyard is fresh, and the flowers are full of fragrance. Under the elegant and unique pergola, she feels that reading there during the day will definitely be a good enjoyment.

At just the first sight, Li Fuzhen fell in love with this villa.

She felt that living here would be very comfortable.

The villa has a spacious and beautiful outdoor swimming pool, right next to the outdoor tennis court.

At night, the swimming pool lights are fully turned on, and the light ripples in the blue pool, which is very dreamy.

The weather in the City of Angels at the end of June is very comfortable, not too cold or too hot even so late.

Abel suggested: "How about we swim? I think this pool is very beautiful."

Li Fuzhen felt the same way. She already agreed in her heart, but she said, "I didn't bring a swimsuit."

"It's just the two of us swimming, what kind of swimsuits do we need? I'll ask all the staff to stay away."

In fact, it would only take half an hour at most to ask the rock security staff in the villa to deliver a swimsuit that fits Li Fuzhen.

It's just that Abel originally wanted to stay here and continue to enjoy this cold and cool eldest lady of the Li family, the most beautiful flower of wealth in the Han Kingdom.

Watching the naked mermaid swim in the swimming pool is also fun.

Li Fuzhen understood what he meant and glanced at him charmingly, revealing the charm of a mature woman.

Soon, half an hour later.

In the outdoor pool at 9425 Sunset Blvd., Beverly Hills.

Following Li Fuzhen's muffled snort, the beautiful warm water in the whole pool under the lights began to ripple, and the waves circled and circled from the center to the outside, knocking against the walls of the pool continuously.

On a clear night in Beverly Hills, it looks particularly clear and charming.

The next day, Li Fuzhen was like other women.

The biological clock is completely disrupted by someone, and the body is exhausted and unable to wake up.

Abel, on the other hand, follows a biologically punctual schedule and wakes up at seven o'clock.

When Abel woke up, he patted Li Fuzhen, who hummed a few words in Korean that Abel couldn't understand.

".."

""

Abel didn't understand either, so he smiled and casually covered the air conditioner next to her.

Then get up, wash up, and go out to have breakfast in the sunny dining room next to the living room.

After breakfast, we went to the courtyard by the swimming pool.

Two sturdy Rottweilers were waiting for him.

This is Abel’s DreamWorks and Marvel.

After seeing Abel, they were very excited and ran to him and jumped around, very happy.

These two Rottweilers were originally flying around with Abel.

Later, the dog trainer said that this was not conducive to stabilizing their personalities. During the period when their personalities were stable, it was best to use a fixed environment to let their personalities settle.

Abel naturally trusted the experts in this regard, so he let the two puppies stay in Los Angeles for training.

Another two months have passed.

Their character stable period has passed and their character has stabilized.

At this time, it is not afraid to fly around with them again.

"Hahaha~"

"Dreamworks, Marvel. Let's go, let's go swimming."

Holding a dog in one hand, Abel led them to the pool, laughing and pushing them all down.

After eight o'clock in the morning in Los Angeles, after the sun rose, it was not cold at all.

Abel also took off his clothes and jumped into the pool.

He played with the two puppies for a while.

Edward, wearing sunglasses, walked to the pool.

"BOSS. Your Harvey Weinstein is here," Edward said.

"Oh?" Abel said casually, "Then let him in."

Edward sent someone to deliver the message.

After a while, Harvey Weinstein, a fat man with serious dark circles, came to the pool.

The fat man didn't dare to speak when he saw Abel swimming in the pool, so he stood by the pool and smiled.

As if he didn't see Harvey Weinstein, Abel continued to play with the two dogs.

He had amazing physical strength, exhausted playing with the two dogs in the swimming pool, and lay on the edge of the swimming pool with his tongue out.

Abel still only felt that he had just warmed up.

And it's been almost half an hour.

Harvey Weinstein was beside him, and he also basked in the sun for almost half an hour, sweating all over his body and head.
