At this time, if Abel still wants to take control, he may even take absolute control or privatize it.

Then the money he wants to pay will definitely be at a much higher premium.

Once or twice would be fine, if it happens every time.

Then every time he acquires a company, he not only has to fight with the company's original shareholders and other institutions, but he even has to share the profits with the leeks every time.

Of course Abel didn't want this to happen.

So after he proposed this idea, his think tank came up with it for him.

The consequence of this is that it will directly ruin his reputation in this regard, like Buffett's.

The disadvantage is that when he buys stocks in the future, the leeks will not dare to follow suit.

But the advantage is that if Abel makes another comprehensive takeover offer in the open market in the future.

Those leeks, they want to take advantage of this opportunity again.

We need to consider whether the "Financial Moses" is going to trick them again.

In addition to this reputation.

Another price he paid was his previously good social reputation among ordinary people.

This is also a suggestion given to him by the think tank.

The think tank suggested that he add some stains to his character.

In the eyes of ordinary people in American society, Abel's original character was very upright.

Pay taxes according to law, true philanthropist, super investor, super entrepreneur

The first two, any one of them in the United States, can be regarded as a halo of saints.

He made two at once.

If it weren't for the fact that he added a playboy character to himself later on.

It is estimated that many Americans are already muttering about him in their hearts.

It's a bit like Anne Hathaway.

Annie's parallel time and space was why she was later blackmailed by the entire United States.

She just "looks so good".

The above are the original words of an ordinary person named Black Annie interviewed by a Hollywood newspaper.

So did Abel.

The character of a playboy is not dark enough.

Even in the eyes of many Americans, Playboy is not a stain at all.

He took the initiative to do this this time, and there was also an element of discrediting his own character.

In this way, many people knew about Abel.

I won't think of him as "perfect" too much.

So he is now.

It doesn't matter at all that the leeks are slandering him in various Internet forums.

This kind of smear was what he originally wanted!

Otherwise, rely on the power of 1450 Network Information Company.

He himself can suppress these voices.

It's just that Anne didn't know that these were actually directed by him.

Because of the scoldings directed at him in these niche forums, he would angrily start a scolding war with them.

By the way, Anne's "The Princess Diaries" is getting ready for release.

The Princess Diary of a Parallel Time was released on August 3, 2001.

The princess diary in this time and space.

Because of the emergence of Abel and the investment of ab Smith Entertainment.

Disney filmed it earlier.

And it was decided to be released on April 12th.

As the heroine, she is also the most important character.

Anne Hathaway, who plays the princess, will of course attend the premiere, as well as some subsequent promotional activities.

She also took a week's leave from the already established "Spider-Man" crew.

Starting tomorrow, she will be promoting with the crew for a week.

Fortunately, the filming of "Spider-Man" has not officially started yet.

Currently in the process of setting up and final preparations.

Shooting is not expected to begin until April 20.

Tomorrow is April 12th.

Anne, who had taken leave in advance, returned to No. 812 North Bedford Road, Beverly Hills, with Abel.

As for Abel, he came over after the Sampra Energy incident.

He came here to discuss the privatization of Sampla Energy.

According to Abel's plan, he is planning to merge Alais Energy with Sempra Energy, as well as California Pacific Electric!

The main difficulty in this work is on the California Pacific Electric side.

In Pacific Electric, he only holds 51% of the shares.

What if the three companies merged?

The other 49% of California Pacific Electric's shares will occupy a large proportion of the new company.

This was something Abel couldn't tolerate.

Because in his plan, energy is one of his troika.

The other two carriages of this troika.

One is the American Pacific Supermarket, which is still in Texas and is just a prototype.

The other carriage was also still in its infancy at this time.

It's a Tesla company that doesn't even have a product yet.

According to his plan.

These three companies respectively symbolize energy, people's livelihood, and high-tech manufacturing.

Finance and media are the knights he uses to protect and support the Troika.

Finally, walking in the middle were Masaharu and himself, the groom driving the carriage.

Therefore, Abel can tolerate Smith Capital and even American Pacific Commercial Bank having other shareholders.

We can also allow other voices in the media group.

But among the troika, he only wanted to be monopolized.

While gently rubbing Annie's shoulders, Abel thought about how to buy the remaining shares of California Pacific Electric as soon as possible.

In fact, the easiest way is to throw money.

California Pacific Electric previously had a market value of nearly $30 billion.

Later, in the Sampla Energy incident, because it was the main competitor of Sampla Energy.

Everyone thinks that if Abel gets Sampra.

California Pacific Electric will definitely have a hard time in the future.

This made California Pacific Electric investors not optimistic about it, causing the stock price to fall to more than 24 billion US dollars.

Abel secretly contacted the shareholders of this company and directly purchased 51% of the shares in cash.

51% of the shares can be bought with cash, and of course the rest.

It was after experiencing the Sampla Energy incident.

If you want to buy these shares of California Pacific Electric, you will definitely need a premium.

The premium may be very high. It is estimated that Abel's total cost may be more than 30 billion US dollars to obtain all of them.

Abel didn't want to spend such a large amount of money.

As he was thinking about it, Abel's eyes drifted to the computer Annie was playing on.

April 11, 2001, two o'clock in the afternoon.

April 11th.

September 11th!

In the end, he decided to wait another five months.

Five months from now, bargain hunting in the U.S. stock market!

Thinking of this, he no longer insisted on getting his three carriages up immediately.

He is still very young and still has a lot of time to prepare and build his own perfect empire.

Abel's focus was on the lovely person in front of him.

Annie's skin is very good, she is actually a mixed race.

She is of German, French, English, and Jewish descent.
