Chapter 278 Angels’ Paradise Island

Time never waits for anyone.

The calendar of 2001 was quickly turned to the seventh month.

The sun is shining brightly in New York in July, which in a sense is the most beautiful time of the year.

On the first Tuesday in July.

The New York Post, owned by News Corporation, published a story about Abel Smith.

The headline of the news is "America's No. 1 Real Estate Buyer".

In this news, the New York Post reported on Abel's massive purchases of real estate and land across the United States.

According to reports, Abel bought one-third of the 300 Malibu mansions in one go.

Of course, this does not mean that there are only these 300 houses in Malibu.

Malibu has a large beach area, and if you include the urban area, there are at least tens of thousands of million-dollar houses.

This is a deliberate rhetorical device by the New York Post.

It's just that Abel bought exactly one hundred sets, so they used the quantifier three hundred sets.

If Abel bought 50 sets, the New York Post would probably use 150 sets.

This is the reporting style of the New York Post. It likes to use a variety of non-startling words, which greatly stimulates readers' reading pleasure.

The report also claimed that Abel not only quietly purchased 100 million-dollar mansions.

Twelve of them are located in Paradise Bay, known as "Billionaire's Beach", with a total value of US$350 million.

The reason why it is surprising is that these 12 mansions are located next to each other on a beach.

In other words, he not only bought a mansion, but also bought an entire beach with it.

Let half of the entire Malibu Paradise Bay become his private beach.

In the words of a Malibu real estate manager in the report, “There are only so many front row seats. If you pick the best quality property in the best location, it’s inherently going to be a good investment. That’s what Asia is all about.

Is there anyone who still doesn’t believe in the opportunities that Bo Smith saw and the investment vision of Financial Moses? So wealthy people in the United States, take out your credit cards and checks, Malibu Beach is the next Beverly Hills.”

This does not include Abel’s purchases in major cities in the United States, including New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Houston, Miami and other cities.

As if the dollar in his hand was a waste of paper, he swept it away like crazy.

In addition, he also invested heavily in office buildings, buying the Woolworth Building in New York and a fifty-story building in Hollywood, Los Angeles.

This does not include Smith Capital, which is currently using the Smith Building.

In addition to these, the New York Post also claimed that Abel was frantically acquiring downtown commercial real estate in major cities across the United States.

The New York Post didn't know that this was Abel preparing for the future Pacific Mall.

This newspaper claimed that Abel was a sole proprietor of "New Starting Real Estate Company".

It only took half a year to become one of the top ten real estate companies in the United States thanks to Abel's large investment regardless of cost.

In terms of pure real estate value, New Starting Point Real Estate is more likely to rank among the top three in the U.S. real estate industry.

At the end of the article, the reporter from the New York Post claimed that Abel Smith is definitely "the most enthusiastic buyer of luxury homes in the United States."

This report increased the sales of the New York Post by more than ten percentage points that day.

Fortunately, Americans have seen too much of this kind of news.

Similar news has appeared countless times since the appearance of Abel Smith, the new light bead of the lighthouse.

Ordinary people actually have the same perception of this kind of news as the news of Abel's acquisition of well-known companies such as MGM and DreamWorks.

I was shocked by Abel Smith's wealth, and then I kept doing whatever I had to do.

In addition to these shocking wealth news.

There are usually two other types of news that often appear on Abel Smith.

One is Scary News.

It was Abel Smith who was rumored to be having an affair with so-and-so again, and was photographed.

And these photos all look intimate and ambiguous, but there are no actual intimate photos.

There are no photos of even kissing, at most they are just hugging each other.

In fact, these photos have already been reviewed.

After the paparazzi storm earlier this year.

Only the privileged reporters with his permission were able to take intimate photos of Abel and women again.

The photos taken by these reporters must be reviewed by Abel's team.

Of course, the contents of the reviewed photos can be seen by ordinary Americans.

This kind of content can not only make Americans talk about Abel Smith's romance and love affairs.

It doesn't do any harm to Abel's character.

Except Scary News and Fortune News.

There was another kind of news that appeared on Abel.

Ordinary Americans will see this news.

This will allow them to develop a certain immunity to the first two kinds of news that happened to Abel.

Let them watch the Scary News and Fortune News.

But he has always been able to maintain a very good popularity and reputation for Abel Smith.

A third type of news related to Abel Smith

It's news related to his charity.

Almost every week or half a month, you can see reports in the news.

Report what charity fund Abel donated and how much money he donated.

Or report how much tax Abel Smith paid to the IRS this month.

Or Abel Smith, who wants to report to the government, school, or relevant administrative department in which U.S. region?

Or simply people in a certain area donated some buildings or facilities.

Almost once a week.

This kind of behavior has never appeared in the European and American world, and it looks more like Brother Su than Brother Su.

It has already made ordinary Americans feel a little numb.

This kind of news occasionally appears a few times, and ordinary people think it may be true after seeing it.

If it appears many times, ordinary people will become suspicious and suspect that it is fake.

It has appeared countless times, and no one has ever come out to crack down on fakeness. No one has come out to say it is fake.

Then everyone will guess that this should be true.

There is a huge amount of news support for this.

The scandalous news and wealth news that appeared on Abel were not so dazzling.

At the same time, from time to time, many beneficiaries of Yaboen's favors came forward to speak out personally, and were even interviewed on television.

These often appear in reports.

Let Americans know that these are true, at least most of them are true.

Come down with this combination of punches.

Ordinary Americans will feel that the more super-rich people like Abel in the United States, the better.

So this New York Post story is like any other news about Abel's wealth.

Many Americans like to watch it, and after watching it, it will not arouse the hatred or other bad emotions of ordinary people like other news about wealthy people showing off their wealth.

This is the personal benefit brought by charity invested with real money.

Of course, the relevant departments have also made great contributions to the public support and promotion of the new lamp beads.

Especially when the person living in the white house is little Laura's uncle.

We have spared no effort in promoting and building momentum in this area.

They are countless times more powerful than Buffett and others before.

This is probably the American version of "there are people in North Korea who can do things easily."

Soon the first Saturday in July will come.

Inside the Merrill Lynch headquarters.

David Komansky got bad news.
