America's Road to Wealth

Francois Lucelli, Chairman of the French Electricite de France (EDF) Group.

When I came to Manchester that evening.

The chairman of the European power giant was surprised to see a young lady walking with a limp next to Abel.

This very beautiful lady is Miss Aymo Alamuddin, a lawyer at Clifford Chance.

Miss Amo Alamuddin accompanied her employer, Mr. Abel Smith, after noon.

The two went to Haley's Chancellor Conference Hotel in Manchester city centre, where she explained some legal issues to her employer during a lunch break.

When Miss Aimal Alamuddin came out of the hotel at four o'clock in the afternoon, this was what she looked like now.

Her face was flushed, as if she had a cold, maybe she had strained her long legs.

Francois Lucelli felt that this was none of his business, he was just curious.

The chairman and CEO, after greeting Abel, talked to Abel in French.

Naturally, Abel couldn't speak French, and Francois Lucelli couldn't speak English either. What the older generation of French people dislike most is learning English.

Many Gallic chickens, still immersed in their former glory, still do not acknowledge their decline and the international status of English.

Francois Lucelli is such a representative.

Therefore, communication between the two parties naturally can only be done by translators.

Francois Lucelli brought a translator, and Abel's translator was Amo Alamuddin who volunteered.

This lawyer lady said that she is fluent in four languages: English, French, Russian and Spanish.

Abel's Smith Intelligence Group originally had a more powerful translation consultant than her.

But this is the first time today that this girl has been so seriously injured.

They are still unable to get out of the firing line, and their spirit deserves encouragement.

Abel was still in the new stage with her, so he let her come in and let the people from his Smith Intelligence Group keep an eye on her.

Smith's advisory group was at noon, and Abel planned to get a name for his advisory group.

As the number of consultants increases, the business involved becomes more and more complex.

Abel has already planned to set up a company with the advisory team alone.

The positioning of this company is similar to the well-known Rand Corporation in North America.

This company mainly plays a staff role, and also plays Abel's role as "Military Aircraft Department".

This is the future positioning of Smith Group.

The company's general manager is Alan Baker, while David Jones is the personnel director.

Having said that, David was the subordinate under Abel who held the most positions.

David Jones, he also holds positions in many companies such as Smith Capital, Smith Media, Rock Security, Smith Intelligence Group, 1450 Network Information Company, New Starting Point Real Estate Company, etc.

Each company will pay him a salary.

This makes his salary definitely rank first among Abel's personal staff.

He is a personal butler, and since he is older than Abel, he is more trusted.

He is also very capable and can do all kinds of things. It is normal to get more money.

Under the arrangement of the elite personnel of Smith Intelligence Group.

Amo Alamuddin acted as translator.

Abel, who spoke English, and François Lucelli, who spoke French, started business negotiations and dialogue with the help of translators from both parties.

The process was very smooth.

Because Francois Lucelli can come over, it means that EDF Group has the intention to sell the Southern England Power Network Company.

The price is not as cheap as what Abel told the people at Centric Group at noon.

The final negotiated price was £2.3 billion.

In other words, for 23+2.65 billion pounds, Abel can buy these two companies.

Just invest the money.

This will allow Abel to immediately own half of the UK's power network.

The British power system is separate, and many of the people who generate and sell electricity are not the same family.

Like the two companies Abel bought, they are not involved in power generation. They are only responsible for power transmission and power line maintenance.

There is someone else in the company responsible for generating electricity.

Of course, you can also invest. You can even build your own power plant.

As long as you have money, you can enter any industry in a country of capital.

Negotiations in this area were quick because there was already an intention.

Francois Lucelli, the chairman, came here in person.

Also because in addition to this matter, the two sides will also talk about another matter.

"Five Muhai power stations?"

Francois Lucelli said in surprise: "If it is true, this is a big project."

The conversation between the two parties is naturally through an interpreter.

"Yes. Five." Abel said firmly to Francois Lucelli's secretary:

"Tell him that Pacific Energy Company of the United States will build five Muhai power stations in a few years. We need technology transfer and support from EDF in this regard."

Speaking of Muhai power stations, the United States is the country with the most Muhai power stations in the world.

As of 2001, there were 438 Muhai power stations in operation around the world, with the United States having the most at 104.

But when it comes to the technology of Muhai Power Station, France is one of the strongest countries from the past to the present and even in the future.

In France, even about 83% of the electricity is provided by the Mohai Power Station.

After listening to the translator's translation, Francois Lucelli smiled.

The Gallic Chicken came here specially today, originally half because of the Southern England Electricity.

The other half of the reason is that Abel said that he would cooperate with EDF to build the Muhai Power Station in the United States.

Francois Lucelli originally thought that it might be some technical cooperation or something like that.

Unexpectedly, Abel is really going to cooperate with EDF.

There are actually as many as five Muhai power stations to be built.

Even though it may be a painted cake, this cake looks too big and beautiful.

Even Francois Lucelli had to be moved.

"We, EDF Group, have the most advanced electric power technology in the world."

"We will definitely meet your request, Mr. Smith!"

Although I can't understand François Lucelli's French.

But Abel could understand the attitude of this Gallic chicken, and he became very enthusiastic after hearing this number.

The investment to build a Muhai power station requires at least a billion or even billions of dollars in huge funds.

If five were built, it would be a multi-billion dollar business.

Even if he only earns a part of it, it is a very amazing profit and income for Francois Lucelli.

There is money to be made.

It looks like there's still plenty of money to be made.

François Lucelli was naturally enthusiastic.

This makes the subsequent negotiations and discussions between the two parties easier.

Shortly afterwards, a contented Francois Lucelli was sent away.

Abel called Allen, the general manager of Smith Intelligence Group.

"Send the conversation I just had with this Gallic chicken to Exnor Company in some way."

Allen smiled and nodded, understanding what his boss meant.

Exnor is an American power giant with the most advanced power station technology in the United States.

Basically similar to EDF Group.

Abel wanted Exno to compete with EDF.

Although the cake he drew is very big, it is not that easy to actually eat it.

Even the construction plan for the five Muhai power stations is actually fake.

Pacific Energy Company only needs three at most.

By then, two will be deployed on the West Coast, and one will be deployed on the Texas coast.

This will allow Pacific Energy's power system to increase its share in California and enter the Texas market at the same time.

This is like the third brother doing business, asking for hundreds of millions of goods as soon as he opens his mouth.

After waiting for the goods to be customized to suit your wishes, the final order amount is only tens of thousands of yuan.

Shrunk by tens of thousands or thousands of times...

Abel would only shrink by half in this way, and he was already of sufficient quality compared to his third brother.

After settling this matter, Abel did not stay in Manchester any longer.

He then left Manchester city center and arrived at Manchester International Airport.

Manchester International Airport is the second largest airport in the UK and has flights to the world.

The UK is just a tiny bit bigger, and it only takes a little over an hour to fly from Manchester to London.

Around six o'clock, Abel was still negotiating with François Lucelli.

At around 8pm, he returned to No. 1, Palace Garden Street, Kensington.

After he comes back.

Little Laura and the housekeeper Joanna came out with a smile.

What surprised Abel was that he actually met the younger Aimo Alamuddin next to little Laura.

No, that's not Aymo Alamuddin at all.

That's Anne Hathaway.

"Are you surprised?"

Little Laura smiled at Abel.

Abel took a deep breath and tried to appear calm.

"I'm surprised." Abel had to admit.

"Let Annie tell you." Little Laura smiled again.

Abel looked at Annie.

Anne Hathaway smiled at him, and then said crisply: "Actually, I was in contact with Miss Bush two months ago."

"We have already said it." Little Laura interrupted Annie with a smile, and she said to Annie:

"You are older than me, can you just call me Laura? Dear Annie."

"Okay." Annie looked particularly well-behaved in front of little Laura.

Anne looked at Abel and continued:

"Laura admitted my existence generously. She said she was willing to stay with you with me, as long as I was sincere. Of course I am sincere."

"so.."

Abel spread his hands towards little Laura and Annie, "What do you mean?"

Little Laura blinked at him, and then said coquettishly:

"So since you are unwilling to take action against the British "Anne Hathaway", then I will call your Anne Hathaway over here!"

Abel wanted to say that the British version of "Annie" you mentioned has been used by me today.

But at this time, the real Annie and little Laura were in front of him, and of course Abel couldn't say such things stupidly.

"That means" He looked at the two of them again.

"So that's it." Little Laura smiled: "I promised you, and I did it. My dear, I hope you can do what you promised me, too!"

Abel was silent for a few seconds, then smiled, "Of course. Let's go. I just came back from Manchester and haven't eaten yet. Get me something to eat first."

He took the lead into the living room, not holding little Laura, let alone touching Annie.

While making an excuse to eat, he also found out the reason why Annie was here.

Anne participated in the filming of "Spider-Man", and her scenes were filmed at the end of July.

After she completed her mission, she went back to Los Angeles to rest for a few days.

Not long after resting in Los Angeles, she received a transoceanic call from little Laura.

It turned out that little Laura had contacted Annie before this.

The two girls did not say what conversation took place between the two parties.

Little Laura called Anne this time and invited her to come to Europe.

At that time, Anne was still in the excitement of Abel having just become the richest man in the world. .

I miss what Abel misses. She was tight, plus little Laura's invitation.

Anne, who has always had a straightforward personality, agreed without much hesitation.

By the time she regained her senses and started to wake up, she was already in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean.

And then here we are.

Abel ate alone, and the two girls, Annie and little Laura, watched after dinner.

.

The atmosphere between the three of them was very strange.

Not to mention Annie and little Laura, they had never been around Abel with other women.

Even Abel himself has never been together like this with two women he values ​​​​more.

This atmosphere, with a touch of embarrassment and weirdness, lasted until late at night, and the situation got much better after everyone separated. .

Then it's time to go to sleep.

Abel first went to the master bedroom where he and little Laura lived.

He stayed in this room for half an hour.

In the end, he was pushed out by little Laura. .

Then without hesitation, he went to the nearest Anne Hathaway's room next door. .

After staying in Annie's room for more than half an hour.

Annie's door was opened.

Wait until the next day.

The three of them rested in little Laura's room.

Abel got up and left No. 1 Kensington Palace Garden Street to go to work feeling refreshed.

A few more hours passed.

Villa One, Garden Street, Kensington Palace.

The master bedroom is the largest and best location.

Little Laura woke up leisurely. As soon as she woke up, she saw Anne Hathaway without a trace, lying on her side looking down at her. .

"Good morning, Laura."

Annie's presence startled little Laura and she instantly woke up.

After waking up, the young lady of the Shrub family remembered the ridiculous things last night.

"Good morning."

Little Laura noticed that she was not wearing any clothes either, and responded with some embarrassment.

"It's already late. It's already half past twelve." Anne Hathaway said with a relaxed tone and a smile.

Little Laura noticed that the tone of her conversation with herself had changed.

Before, although I couldn't say I was afraid, I was very cautious.

But now.

Little Laura couldn't help but bite her beautiful silver teeth.

We rolled together on Simmons and saw the most primitive state and ugly state.

Of course there will be no more formality!

Seeing little Laura's silence, it was Annie who spoke first, "Laura. I have a question. I don't know if I can ask it."

"Say it."

"That's it." Anne Hathaway looked at little Laura and said thoughtfully:

"With your identity and your family. How could it be possible? How could it be possible? How could it be..."

"How could I accept your existence, or even the existence of other women? You want to ask this, right?" Little Laura asked.

Anne Hathaway nodded immediately.

Little Laura smiled bitterly, revealing her true feelings to a third party for the first time.

"I refused at first. Do you believe it? Believe it or not, this is indeed the case."

"But our man has shown too much ability. In addition, my status in our family is not very important. Especially my grandfather, he likes Abel too much."

"After Abel and Charlize had a child, my father and uncle strongly opposed it and wanted to stop it."

"Wait a minute!" Annie interrupted little Laura, "What did you say? You said Abel and Charlize had a baby!!!"

Annie's voice was loud and her tone seemed excited.

"Oh, I let it slip." Little Laura smiled, "But it is true. Charlize Theron, he has our first child."

Anne Hathaway couldn't help but jump up on Simmons, "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Fake's green pool, that South African green pool."

"Don't be excited." Little Laura smiled and pulled her, "This is what happened to Charlize. If you knew that there was another Ikana who also had his child, wouldn't you be more excited? Relax, relax, Anne"

Little Laura told her to relax, but in fact she was also very sad in her heart.

Little Laura thought to herself that if she encouraged and supported Anne Hathaway to cause trouble now, she would definitely succeed.

Charlize and that Ikana will definitely be embarrassed.

But if he did that, Abel would probably be very unhappy.

You will become very passive.

Thinking of this, little Laura suppressed her emotions with strong forbearance, and instead she comforted Annie.

"I thought you were mentally prepared. Otherwise, you should have left when I first came to you."

Anne Hathaway calmed down a little under her comfort.

Because Anne suddenly felt that even little Laura, the most likely royal, was not so excited.

I have already accepted it in my heart, so what's the use of being so excited.

"hateful."

Anne Hathaway said softly: "If I had known it yesterday, I wouldn't have taken medicine!"

Little Laura smiled and said, "Do you also want to get pregnant right away?"

Anne wanted to nod, but held back. She looked at little Laura.

"May I?"

Anne Hathaway's IQ, which was admitted to New York University, allowed her to ask such a well-behaved question to little Laura.

Sure enough, little Laura felt much more comfortable.

At least Annie seemed to respect her younger real girlfriend.

"Why not?"

Little Laura said generously: "One is a baby, and two is a baby. Since one is broken, it is also a good thing to have more."

The premise is that it can only be an illegitimate child, and she can only guard her children from now on.

Like those peripheral families of Morgan and Rockefeller!

Little Laura thought to herself.
