Abel and Jim Walton's business phone calls were all buzzing for a while.

Most of the people who called Abel were probably those shareholders of Express Company whom he had contacted before, but they all wanted to wait for the price and raised the price very high.

The people who called Jim Walton were probably the same people.

They were probably condemning him, condemning Jim for disregarding the shareholder offensive and defensive alliance agreement and contacting Abel privately.

But what's the use?

What Jim Walton did was not illegal.

The time for Pacific Commercial Bank’s comprehensive takeover bid has not yet ended.

It won't end until the fifth of this month.

Everything is reasonable and legal. At most, Jim Walton just violated their verbal agreement.

These people had no scruples and did not expect that among the shareholders, Jim Walton was the one who had the most serious confrontation with Abel in the media.

He was actually the first to betray everyone.

Jim Walton's decisiveness can only be said to be that of the son of a top businessman who created the world-class enterprise Wal-Mart.

The first day of December passed like this.

The next day.

December 2nd.

Early morning is the purest time of the day.

This was also the time when Abel was most energetic.

Like many things, doing them in the morning is of great benefit to the body.

For example, exercising in the morning, eating fast food, etc.

A harmonious and beautiful morning exercise.

It cheered up Abel's mood for the day.

As for Avril, who had suffered from a serious lack of sleep last night and was so cute, she once again had the most beautiful and colorful morning.

The price is that I will be tired and sleepy, and I will probably have to sleep until after noon today.

Now Abel is at the pinnacle of the Woolworth Building.

Xiao Tiantian ran away after signing a short-term employee agreement.

She regained her "freedom".

The end of the year is approaching, and as a top pop idol, Britney can be said to be very busy.

Coupled with her mental problems, after experiencing a series of incidents with Abel.

He was actually declared cured, and many top psychiatrists were amazed by this.

Abel also didn't expect that he could get such an effect by injecting her in that area.

Britney had recovered mentally and had a good rest physically, and her strong work ethic was back.

When she was at Sony, she had such a hard-working attitude and only slept three or four hours a day.

Sixty percent of the time, Sony wants to take advantage of her popularity, so it can exploit her like crazy.

The remaining reason is that Britney is a natural workaholic in this regard and does not reject that level of work.

Otherwise, even if Sony wants to take advantage of it, most people cannot bear that level of work even if they are physically able to bear it mentally.

At most half a year, both body and mind will collapse.

As for Bryony, before she developed mental problems, she had maintained this level of work intensity for two or three years.

I only slept three or four hours a day, all year round, for two or three years.

If she didn't have her own workaholic attitude, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Just wait until she feels tired and wants to rest for a while.

Sony refused.

Capitalists are addicted to exploitation. In addition, the contract of the newcomer is about to expire. If you want to continue to exploit, you must use a large contract. The cost of continuing to exploit is very high.

Sony certainly wants to take the opportunity to squeeze as much profit as possible before signing a big contract.

When Britney herself began to feel tired, Sony naturally refused her request to rest in order to squeeze out more profits.

Coupled with emotional disputes, and constant attacks from idiot fans, some media, and some black fans.

Britney's mental state gradually began to have problems last year, and this year it began to appear.

In parallel time and space, next year she will really start to go crazy.

After being separated and reunited with his first love many times and being completely dumped, he gave up on himself.

In a short period of two years, I had six boyfriends and got married twice.

She is fine now. Abel's injection has successfully cured her mental internal disorder.

The employee agreement that Abel asked her to sign also gave Xiao Tiantian, who had a typical dependent personality, a psychological support.

That workaholic Britney, full of energy, is back again.

While Abel was away in New York, she went to work.

Let Avril stay alone in the top mansion.

Facing the returning Abel, the punk girl was helpless and was severely conquered.

Not even this morning.

Abel, whistling happily, turned off the shower and pulled on a towel.

He first wiped his wet hair, then wiped his body casually a few times, took the bathrobe from the side, put it on, and walked out of the bathroom.

In the master bedroom, the petite punk girl was still sleeping soundly.

During this period of time, to be precise, it was after singing at the National Performing Arts Conference on September 11th.

Avril Lavigne has already begun preparations for her first album under the preparation of David Geffen.

New York itself is one of the important cores of the American music and recording industry.

Even the Grammy Awards are held alternately in New York and Los Angeles.

Avril Lavigne’s workplace has always been here in New York.

After looking at Avril, who probably didn't wake up that early, Abel turned and walked out of the bedroom.

On the table in the living room, a cup of steaming, extremely fragrant coffee and a stack of newspapers have been placed.

After Abel walked to the sofa and sat down, he took the coffee and took a sip with great joy. He smashed it in his mouth a few times. The coffee was brewed well. It should have been brewed by Edward or Tony.

These people who were close to him gradually learned the art of making coffee from him.

Who told the boss to like drinking coffee?

He nodded with satisfaction, put down his coffee cup, picked up a newspaper, opened it and read it.

The one placed on top is, of course, Abel's own newspaper.

With the launch of Smith's newspaper group plan, since June this year.

Smith Newspaper Group has made more than a dozen acquisitions across the United States.

A large number of influential regional newspapers were acquired across the country.

Newspapers such as the "Indiana Star", "Utah Daily News", "Kansas Daily Independent", etc., which sell hundreds of thousands of copies per day locally but have very low sales nationwide, have become the acquisition targets of Smith Newspaper Group.

.

In the past six months, the results have been pretty good.

Smith Newspapers has acquired six newspapers across the country with daily sales of more than 200,000 copies, and 11 newspapers with daily sales of 100,000 copies.

The number of newspapers with a daily sales volume of more than 50,000 and less than 100,000 is even greater.

Last month, Forbes launched a ranking of national newspaper groups.

Smith Newspaper Group also jumped into it. It became one of the top ten American newspaper groups, just behind Gannett Newspaper Group, Tribune Newspaper Group, Chicago Newspaper Group and other established giants.

But at present, Smith Media Newspaper Group's national newspapers are mainly the "New York Observer" and "The American Sun".

The New York Observer is a bi-weekly magazine and is published only once every two weeks.

The current average sales per issue has reached the critical line of about 100,000 copies.

If it's any higher, it's hitting the top three.

It has only been less than two years since it was acquired by Abel.

This achievement is really a blessing to Abel.

Many people bought it specifically because they saw Abel's interview on it.

After all, Abel's authorization is there, even if sometimes Abel is not interviewed.

As long as the content of the magazine is approved by Smith Think Group.

The New York Observer itself could fabricate some of Abel's views and put them in its bi-weekly publication to attract readers.

Like the last time American Express had a hostile takeover battle.

Abel just wanted to warn the leeks that they should pay attention to the risks when investing.

The New York Observer used its collective wisdom to turn his words into a wonderful interview.

This exclusive interview directly increased the sales of that issue of the New York Observer by more than 100%.

It can only be said that now that Abel's influence is increasing day by day.

Whether it is entertainment newspapers or financial, fashion, and current affairs newspapers.
