"Although there are more and more black people in Chicago now, there will also be some customers with purchasing power among the black people. Black women also need to wear beautiful clothes! Chicago's status is there, and of course we cannot let this place go."

"Look. She and I are on the same page."

Ikana turned around again and looked at her boyfriend.

As a result, Paris behind her, with her pretty and delicate face, had an unserious expression and more small movements.

If Ikana hadn't been there, Abel felt like he would be here right now, punishing this little girl on the spot!

"Okay. I'm a little hungry. Let's go have lunch. After lunch, I have to go out in the afternoon."

Abel felt that he could no longer stay here.

He had to admit that Ikana was his best friend.

It really added a lot of temptation to Paris.

When Ikana was right in front of me, this temptation became even stronger.

"Oh, okay." Ikana said, "Then I'll have someone prepare lunch."

"Um."

This lunch was warm and a bit ambiguous.

The warmth comes from Ikana, who has become more and more obsessed after becoming pregnant.

The little ambiguity comes from Paris, who keeps making little moves.

After lunch, Abel left 73 Maria Beach Boulevard, Santa Barbara.

He got on the helicopter and set off for Santiago.

The driving distance between these two Bay Area cities is about 350 kilometers.

It takes three or four hours by car.

If you take a helicopter, it only takes about an hour from takeoff to landing.

There is no doubt that helicopters are much faster for this kind of short-distance travel.

As for the question of whether helicopter travel is risky, Abel also has his own considerations.

According to last year's data, there were about 5 accidents for every 100,000 helicopter flying hours in the United States.

This data is five times that of ordinary civil aviation.

In other words, flying in a helicopter is five times more risky than flying in an airplane.

But data shows that these helicopters are involved in accidents.

95% of them occur when the weather is bad, such as rain, snow, or fog.

Just avoid using the helicopter in bad weather.

This can reduce the risk of helicopter travel, which is five times more dangerous than civil aviation, to about the same as land transportation.

In that case, Abel felt that it was an alternative mode of transportation.

Around two o'clock in the afternoon.

Abel appeared outside the headquarters of Qualcomm in the suburbs of San Diego.

This is Abel's second time here.

The last time he came here, he was just a passerby.

He was a relatively high-status, extremely wealthy passerby who was invited in to visit.

When he came here this time, he had already become a member of this company——

"Good afternoon, Chairman."

"Good afternoon, Chairman!"

"Good afternoon, Chairman."

"."

In the Qualcomm headquarters building.

Abel, who came in through the gate, smiled and nodded to all the employees who greeted him.

He became the chairman of Qualcomm at the end of this month.

After September 11, the U.S. stock market plummeted.

Abel, who came out to rescue the market, not only gained financial influence and fame that is unparalleled in the United States.

What he gained was also the status of shareholder of more than 200 American listed companies.

One of them is Qualcomm.

And after that, he increased his stake in Qualcomm from about 10% to 55% at the end of October.

He officially became the largest shareholder of the communication company, and then naturally became the chairman of the company.

Thanks to the Nasdaq stock market crash and the September 11th stock market crash.

In another five years, the market value will exceed Qualcomm's $40 billion.

Now this 55% stake cost him less than US$2 billion in cash.

Regarding his appointment, Qualcomm has been in difficult times for several consecutive years.

Whether it's founder Irving Jacobs, employees, or shareholders.

Most showed great welcome.

With the world's richest man entering the market, will the company still be worried about lack of funds in the future?

At this time, Owen Jacobs and shareholders did not know that a new era was coming.

In this new era, Qualcomm will still be one of the most important navigators.

At this time, they all thought Qualcomm was a shithole.

Since it is a cesspit, they are naturally happy that the world's richest man is willing to jump in and share the joys and sorrows with everyone.

I just don’t know if they will still be happy when they think about their current decision in a few years.

Qualcomm building.

Abel came to the patent wall opposite the door of the hall again, and he was still shocked by it.

This prestigious patent wall carries the glory of Qualcomm's continuous focus on R&D and innovation, and this is only a small part of Qualcomm's patents.

This patent wall is a carrier used by Qualcomm to demonstrate its recognition of employee innovation and its emphasis on technology research and development.

After all, technology is difficult to see and touch.

Obtaining patent recognition is undoubtedly the best compliment for Qualcomm, where more than 80% of employees are technical engineers.

Abel carefully looked at each patent certificate, which contained the name of the patent, the implementation path of the technical solution, the time when the patent was applied for and obtained, the names of the personnel involved in the research and development, etc.

For Qualcomm, this is their hard work.

To Abel, all that was in France was money.

As long as you have these, even if you do nothing and just lie down every day, you can earn more than one billion US dollars in a year.

Everyone hates patent trolls, but everyone wants to be a patent troll.

Capitalists are like this, and so are patent trolls.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Smith."

An old man's voice sounded beside Abel.

Abel moved his gaze away from Qualcomm's patent wall.

The founder of Qualcomm, Qualcomm's original chairman and CEO, and current CEO Irving Jacobs, stood next to him.

"Good afternoon, Owen." Abel pointed at the patent wall with a smile and said:

"Seeing this wall, I felt the greatness of technology and Qualcomm."

Owen Jacobs was a little reserved, bending down and nodding to him: "Thank you for your recognition, Mr. Smith~"

This patent wall is also the pride of Irving Jacobs, the father of CDMA.

Their foundations are all built on the communication technology of CDMA.

It was the R&D personnel headed by Irving Jacobs who developed CDMA technology and promoted it to the world.

"Let's go. How about we go up to your office and talk?"

Abel said to Owen Jacobs.

"No problem, Mr. Smith, please come this way." Owen Jacob had a good impression of Abel at this time.

If this had been a few years later, and Abel had acquired Qualcomm, things would not have been like this.

Because at that time, Qualcomm had escaped from the cesspool and turned into a gold mine that produced gold.
