America's Road to Wealth

After a pleasant afternoon in a Manhattan high-rise apartment.

Abel reappears at Charlie Brown's pizza parlor in lower Manhattan.

When he appeared in the store, there was only one table of customers.

There were also other guests who wanted to come in.

But they were all rejected by two rock security guards and guest service staff.

The owner, Charlie Brown, was very helpless. He couldn't do business because of the rush of customers.

Fortunately, Charlie Brown rented the store from Abel, who only charged him one dollar a month in rent.

For the sake of rent, Charlie Brown endured it.

In such a big Charlie Brown Pizza place, only Abel would come, or Abel's famous friends would come.

Here we have to put up a sign saying "closed to customers".

Like today, after this table of guests comes.

Charlie Brown's Pizza no longer welcomes outsiders.

When Abel showed up, the pizza place was completely empty except for that table of customers.

There were only two "waiters" and the dazed old guy at the bar.

"Hey, old man. Good afternoon."

Abel, who had recently subdued the upright Sophie Marceau, greeted the old guy happily.

Charlie Brown ignored him, turned around and continued to be in a daze.

Abel muttered loudly: "Damn old man, I'll kick you out next month!"

Seeing that the old man didn't respond, Abel happily walked towards the table of guests.

The only customer at that table also looked up at him.

"good afternoon."

Abel smiled and said hello: "Miss Spears, long time no see."

Beautiful teenage star looking up at him.

It is now popular all over the country in the United States and is deeply loved by peers.

Britney Spears has many crazy middle-aged male fans.

It is also known as Xiao Tiantian to Chinese people.

"Good afternoon," Britney Spears said softly, sounding a little ethereal.

It is completely different from the energetic and sexy performance she shows on stage.

"Welcome to DreamWorks Music."

Abel sat down directly in front of her and found a plate of almost-eaten pineapple pizza in front of her.

See Abel's eyes looking at the pizza.

Britney Spears, who didn't know how to speak at first, took advantage of the situation and said softly:

"I can't eat these things normally, they're too sweet and too high in calories. But now, Mr. Smith, you've saved me from my record label, my manager, my parents. I thought I'd try them. I haven't had these in so long. They are high-calorie foods. After eating them this time, I think they are particularly delicious and very delicious. I still want to eat them, but I am afraid."

Britney Spears initially spoke to Abel.

Gradually, he started talking as if he was talking to himself, without stopping.

Seeing her like this, Abel felt that she really had a mental problem.

This teenage star who became famous at a young age is now both crazily loved and crazily criticized across the United States.

Her spirit was almost on the verge of collapse.

Abel remembered that in parallel time and space, she also had accidents one after another two or three years later.

Later, he was really half crazy, so much so that his body was restricted.

A very typical example of becoming famous at a young age and falling from heaven to hell after having bad parents and a bad company.

Looking at her pretty face, she looked slightly crazy.

Abel thought for a while and said softly: "Britney, have you ever visited your parents?"

Abel's words interrupted her talking to herself.

Her attention returned to Abel.

"See it. Thank you, Mr. Smith. You seem to have made them a little different?"

"So, do you think this change is good or bad?"

"Very good." Britney Spears said this, her spirit was obviously much better, "I feel like I can dream even when I sleep!"

Her appearance reminded Abel of some of the experiences he had seen about her.

For example, after Britney became famous, the first thing she did was go home for Christmas.

She drove to her hometown of Kentwood and handed out $100 to everyone.

Instead of saying "Hi, I'm Britney," she said "Merry Christmas."

She always seemed approachable to her audience, but the same was not true of the audience.

While being successful as a superstar.

Britney has also suffered more and more criticism. To the audience, she is both a representative of sweetness and a sexy temptress in lingerie.

Her split from Justin Timberlake last year led to even more rumors attacking her.

At that time, one of them was the most popular pop star, and the other was the lead singer of the most popular pop group. Every move of the golden boy and the beautiful girl made headlines.

In parallel time and space, the two would not break up until 2002.

After that breakup, she started to act a little crazy.

In this time and space, she and Justin Timberlake broke up quickly after being in a romantic relationship for just a few months last year.

The gossip attacks came earlier, making her look even more crazy.

Looking at her mental state, Abel was a little doubtful whether she would be able to perform at the Times Square charity concert a week later.

Besides, this kind of crazy woman, no matter how beautiful she is, there's nothing he can't do.

After thinking about it, he asked Edward to come over, "Is Draven outside?"

Edward nodded.

"Go let Draven in. I think Miss Spears, you should pay more attention to rest."

Britney Spears was silent and looked a little distracted. People who didn't know it thought she was on drugs.

Draven comes in.

This agent is now a big celebrity in CAA.

Not long ago, Michael Jackson and Britney Spears even became his clients.

He also has a good relationship with Smith Media, and there are already rumors that Delevingne may become the new CEO of CAA.

It may replace Michael Ovitz, because the latter will leave CAA to develop at Smith Media.

Only Draven himself knows that all this is true.

And everything that happened to me was because I was very smart and took refuge in Abel.

Therefore, we faced the things Abel told us, or the people and things related to Abel.

This senior partner of CAA has always taken it very seriously.

When he came in, he took someone with him to send Britney Spears to rest first. She needed a rest so much right now.

It has been almost three years since she became famous in 1998.

She almost never slept for more than five hours at a time, and her body could handle it because she was young.

My spirit is really failing.

Sitting in Britney Spears's spot, Abel asked Delevingne about Britney Spears.

"With your help, Ms. Spears escaped the shameful and endless oppression of Sony and JIVE."

Draven is now particularly talkative:

"I have seen the best psychiatrist. Miss Spears has a slight dual personality, severe anxiety, and a slight case of short-term amnesia. Physically she is fine, but mentally she is very unstable."

Abel nodded, no wonder he looked a little crazy.

But in this state, she can still burst out with such huge vitality on the stage.

Showing her special sexiness and sweetness, I don't know if she is praising her for her hard work and dedication.

It would be better to say that her split personality is exaggerated.

"Then what are you going to do with her?" Abel asked casually.

Draven looked at the boss carefully and complained in his heart.

How do I know?

You asked for the people from Sony.

Britney Spears was able to switch from Sony's JIVE Music label to DreamWorks Music.

It was Abel who had David Jones operate it.

David's approach sounds simple.

One is the father who makes Britney very active and her mother becomes well-behaved and obedient. Now both of them are working as farm workers on the farm over in the Sunnis Mountains.

The other side is negotiating with Sony. It ended up spending $8 million to buy out the remaining months of Britney Spears' contract with Sony.

Then use the influence of the Spears couple on her to get her into DreamWorks Music.

The specific process is this.

But only David and Spears know how dirty and dark the details involved are.

Draven didn't know any of this.

He is only responsible for handling matters after Britney Spears comes here.

At that moment, Delevingne had no choice but to bite the bullet and said, "Let Miss Spears take good care of herself first?"

"That won't work." Abel said directly:

"I spent so much money to get her here. It's not because she feels pity for her to do good things. But in her normal state, she is a money tree."

"How about this."

Abel ordered: "Take care of your body and mind, but you can't stop performing. She needs to make money for DreamWorks Music. But we won't just follow the normal singer process like the Neon people do."

Draven breathed a sigh of relief. It was much better to have specific orders to carry out than to let him do it himself.

"Understood." Draven said quickly.

"By the way, why hasn't MJ come yet?" Abel asked.

There is more than one Britney Spears whom Abel invited here today.

There is also a Michael Jackson.

After giving enough benefits to Ikana's father.

The old man tried very hard to persuade Michael Jackson.

Maybe he also saw the power of Smith Media and the fact that Sony had taken advantage of Abel many times.

Coupled with the friendship of Ted Lerner, MJ finally agreed to the conditions Abel proposed at the time.

He is willing to join DreamWorks Music, provided that Abel can block his dispute with Sony.

Abel agreed.

This is also a superstar with serious mental and physical problems.

Just like Britney, she is one of the hottest stars right now.

DreamWorks Music, which does not have superstars to support the stage, just needs the two of them.

Even if there are some problems, Abel can only get these two superstars in first and then talk about it.

After all, if a superstar is mentally intact, then Sony and Universal will keep a close eye on him.

"I have already informed Michael Jackson." Delevingne said quickly:

"He also said he would come over. I don't know why, but he hasn't come yet."

Draven particularly admires Abel now. Because Abel actually hired Michael Jackson and Britney Spears for DreamWorks Music.

These two are Sony's not-for-sale treasures, and Abel was actually able to snatch them.

In the United States, only Abel can do it.

This is a bit like a max-level player in the game who goes to the level 30 area to bully people.

People who hold cocktail parties in a white house all day long go to bully Sony. Don't be too simplistic.

Who told Sony to be different from those Han Guo consortiums?

To this day, it still maintains the autonomy of Neon People, with only about one-third of the shares owned by Americans.

Unlike those Hanguo companies, which are all American companies that approve Korean leather.

Naturally, there won't be that many people speaking out for it here in the United States.

At this time, Edward whispered a few words in Abel's ear.

Abel nodded, "Then let them in."

It turned out that Michael Jackson had arrived.

The reason why Jackson was late for so long was not because of MJ's big name.

It was this guy who went to No. 40 Wall Street and called Ikana’s father over.

It is probably the first time to face Abel, even the emperor of pop music is a little nervous.

It was different having my good friend Ted Lerner as a buffer in the middle.

Soon the door of Charlie Brown's Pizza was pushed open, and Ted Lerner's iconic hearty laughter came in first.

"Hahaha~ I've eaten at this restaurant before, and it's very good. I didn't expect you to like it too, Abel!"

Ted Lerner walked in first, followed by the somewhat feminine-looking MJ.

"I'm one of the owners of this store."

After all, he is Ikana's father, and he keeps the trump card that he may use in the future.

Facing Ted Lerner, Abel maintained some respect.

In Ted Lerner's opinion, this is because of Ikana.

Otherwise, with Abel’s current status.

Ted Lerner felt that if it were him, he would not be as gentle as Abel.

“No wonder the pizza here tastes so good.”

Ted Lerner had already walked up to Abel. He glanced at Delevingne who stood up and began to introduce MJ to Abel.

"Michael Jackson, the King of Pop, and most importantly, he is my good friend!"

"This is Abe Smith. Michael, obviously you know him. He is also your future boss."

During Ted Lerner's grand introduction, Abel did not stand up. He sat down and actively smiled and stretched out his hand:

"Hello, Michael. I love your music and welcome you to DreamWorks Music."

MJ immediately shook hands with him and said with a smile: "Thank you very much for your interest, Mr. Smith. I am also very happy to be able to join DreamWorks Music!"

"Sit down." Abel smiled and pointed to Draven, "I'm used to eating and chatting at the same time."

Delevingne quickly stepped aside and gave up his position to Ted Lerner and MJ. He walked to stand next to Abel.

However, after giving Edward a glare, the future CEO of CAA sneered, thought about it, and walked to the side to stand.

Ted Lerner took MJ and sat down across from Abel.

He is the emperor of pop music and the famous MJ who is comfortable on the stage.

Facing Abel at this moment, he looked a little reserved.

This is normal. After all, Michael Jackson at this time has already experienced the horror of capital.

Just a Sony Music, which has many restrictions in the United States, makes this global superstar embarrassed.

The person sitting in front of him is a person who can make Sony embarrassed.

After experiencing the horror of capital, MJ deeply understood the power of this young man who looked like a Hollywood superstar.

After the two sat down, Abel didn't know what to say first.

Abel actually doesn't like listening to MJ's music that much. Because he didn't listen to music very much in his previous life.

Britney Spears is, after all, very beautiful, with a unique temperament that is pure, sweet and sexy under normal circumstances.

Abel was particularly moved.

Where is MJ?

Sorry, Abel helped him, partly because of the sympathy he brought from his previous life.

The other part is like helping Britney Spears.

That is, DreamWorks Music needs superstars to join, so that it can complete Abel's territory in the field of media and music.

For Abel, who has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, this is worth his effort.

There is no doubt that Michael Jackson is very important in this area.

So he opened his mouth on a topic that made MJ a little embarrassed——

"By the way, I heard from Ted that Michael, your financial situation was a bit bad before. Have you dealt with it now? Do you still need help?"

One of the reasons why MJ was so embarrassed by Sony was that he borrowed tens of millions of dollars from Sony.

What happened later was exposed, and everyone knew that MJ was in a debt crisis.

This has caused great damage to the personal image of the pop music emperor.

Abel signed MJ to DreamWorks Music.

One of the conditions is to first help MJ pay back the money he owes Sony.

Because MJ has already repaid part of it himself, which is US$35 million.

The money will certainly not be given away in vain.

Subsequent deductions will be made first as MJ’s remuneration, share, and salary from DreamWorks Music.

Only after all the money is earned and returned to DreamWorks Music can MJ get money here.

Although the topic of Abel made MJ feel embarrassed.

But Abel's identity and status are here, and it really helped MJ get rid of Sony's entanglement.

Michael Jackson was so grateful that he whispered back: "It's settled. Thank you very much, Mr. Smith."

"And there I am." Ted Lerner said dissatisfiedly:

"Without my help. Michael, you are still in a lawsuit with Sony right now!"

"Thank you too. My friend, thank you very much for always helping me. Thank you, Ted." MJ said gently to Ted Lerner.

Ted Lerner nodded with satisfaction and smiled.

Abel could see that the relationship between the two was really good. He smiled and said:

"That's good. In that case, Michael, your task is to adjust and recuperate your body while preparing music. The concert in a week will depend on your performance."

"No problem!" MJ agreed simply.

The scene in front of me is exactly what Abel said to Bloomberg:

The reason he could get Britney Spears and Michael Jackson.

The reason is because these two are now signed singers with DreamWorks Music.

When the time comes, letting these two superstars play will not be a matter of words.

As for other singers, it’s also very simple.

Tomorrow DreamWorks Music will come up with a list and deliberately leak it to the media.

Let’s talk about this list at that time. It is the list of singers that DreamWorks Music wants to invite to participate in the charity performance in Times Square.

If you don't show up at the concert.

It was these singers who refused the invitation of DreamWorks Music and refused to contribute and pray for the poor victims of September 11.

Use all the rhetoric of moral kidnapping.

It would be easier if singers from other music giants promised to come by then.

If you don’t want to come, then don’t blame DreamWorks Music and Smith Media for adding insult to injury.
