America's Road to Wealth

New York City,

No. 1, Thirteenth Road.

This place has been requisitioned by Esa Company to a certain extent.

ESAB's headquarters is in New York.

And the contracted models in Elizabeth’s back garden.

Their dormitory is this ultra-luxury manor villa that was requisitioned.

Since last year’s Christmas Eve show.

ISA Corporation, gained huge popularity.

Coupled with the very good unit price, the market quickly spread across the United States.

At the end of December last year, there were only 100 Elizabeth Garden stores in the United States.

By the end of January this year, this number had reached more than 200.

Wait until the middle of this month.

Elizabeth’s Back Garden has reached 300 stores across the United States.

The company's overseas branches have also begun preparations.

Other than that.

That Christmas Eve show last year.

The one who has benefited the most is Esa Company itself.

The second biggest benefit.

Naturally, they are the company's twenty-five contracted models.

Although there were more than forty-five models appearing at that time.

But those twenty models were not signed.

Although they are more famous, their timing and clothing on the court are very poor.

In fact, they were invited to serve as green leaves to complement Isa's own models.

This approach was successful.

This approach makes the models of Isa Company look better and sweeter than these top world supermodels.

Because of this show, Isa Company has twenty-five models.

There were more than ten, within a short period of time.

I got interview invitations from top fashion magazines including VOGUE and Harper's Bazaar.

Like the finale, Gisele Bündchen even became the cover of VOGUE magazine again.

Carmen Keys also graces the January cover of Harper's Bazaar.

This Harper's Bazaar is not China's Harper's Bazaar.

America's Harper's Bazaar is the No. 1 fashion magazine under Hearst Media Group and is very influential around the world.

And other models have also gained their own fame one after another.

Among the models, the most profitable.

Except for Gisele Bunchen and Carmen Keys, two supermodels who were very famous before joining.

Next, there are Adriana Lima and Karolina Korkova, two younger supermodels.

Adriana Lima was interviewed by VOGUE for the first time since then.

And not long ago, it was announced that Lima would play an important supporting role in MGM's Spider-Man.

Karolina Korkova isn’t too bad either, she was also interviewed by Cosmopolitan.

Cosmopolitan is one of the top five fashion magazines in the United States, founded in 1886.

In addition, Da KK, who was still young at this time, like Lima and others, got some supporting roles in Hollywood.

It can be said that except for the success of Isa Company.

Elizabeth's Angels were also a huge success.

This leaves No. 1 Thirteenth Road, Royal Point, New York.

It soon became a legend in supermodel circles.

Let’s not talk about this house. It is said that the price is as high as 65 million US dollars.

Being able to live in it is a pleasure in itself.

Not to mention, the models who lived in it all started to shine in fashion magazines around the world.

This allows those newbies who have not joined, or are unable to join, or who yearn to be in this circle.

Naturally, I admire it infinitely.

On this day, the light snow started to become colorful again.

The future Big KK is now Karolina Korkova, nicknamed Little KK in the fashion media.

In the afternoon.

While it was still snowing outside.

But she stayed comfortably in Abel and spent nearly tens of millions of dollars on renovations.

You can also swim outdoors in winter.

You can look at the snowy scenery and swim happily in the outdoor glass dome swimming pool as a mermaid.

Of course, such a big swimming pool.

It is not prohibited for any guests in the villa to use it.

Other supermodels who live in the villa can also swim in it.

Just recently, the number of girls still living here has been much smaller.

This is because Isa Company is currently holding a spring show.

Its own twenty-five contracted models were divided into four parts.

Four people and horses.

In addition, some temporarily hired supermodels will go to the four most developed cities in the United States to hold big shows.

The four cities are New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Chicago.

Other models have already set off to those three cities.

Naturally, fewer supermodels still live here at No. 1 Thirteenth Road, Royal Point, New York.

Among them, Gisele Bundchen, who is already vaguely the world's number one supermodel.

She took six colleagues with her to Los Angeles.

Carmen Keith took seven colleagues and went south to Miami.

Adriana Lima is a little younger, but has already shown her unique temperament on the T stage.

Then he took the same seven colleagues and went to Chicago to explore the market under the protection of rock security.

The youngest, Karolina Korkova, is among the remaining colleagues.

Stay in New York and continue to have a spring show in New York.

This spring show will last for a week.

There were four shows in total.

Try to stabilize or even expand the popularity accumulated from last year's Christmas Eve show.

Sisters who are more capable and older.

They go to big cities such as Los Angeles to develop markets.

Karolina Korkova, the little sister who still has little influence, stayed in New York.

In addition, by doing this, the company is almost telling its angel babies in a subtle way——

Once you gain the favor of a certain king, your position in Isa is guaranteed.

And these four leading sisters, including Karolina Korkova.

There is no doubt that they are the four angel babies who are most favored by the king.

Wow~

In the swimming pool, there was a sound of water.

Karolina Korkova, who was tired from swimming, came to the swimming pool and went ashore to rest.

In her gentle gasp.

Another supermodel, Alessandra Ambrosio, swam up to her with a smile.

Hi~ Carolina, are you not going to swim?

I'm a little tired from swimming, let's take a rest. Karolina Korkova responded with a smile.

Alexandra is also a contracted model for Isa.

In this back garden, she has a lower status.

Room with Angela Lindewald.

In contrast, the younger Karolina Korkova can live in a room by herself.

Obviously Big KK is here now and has a much higher status than Alessandra.

That's why Carolina.

The reason for looking more calm when faced with Alessandra's greetings.

That's right~ Alexandra said in a very relaxed tone:

Carolina, I heard that our boss is back in New York? I saw the news this morning! The New York Post said that he went to Smith Company.

Karolina Korkova is young after all.

Moreover, she entered the modeling industry at the age of 15 and came to the United States when she was less than 16 years old.

After coming to the United States, I was signed by Victoria's Secret before I even became famous.

Although Victoria's Secret is now suppressed by Isha and is about to close down.

But it treated its own signed models like Karolina Korkova relatively well at the time.

At least it's much better than those dark modeling agencies.

Because of this, Karolina Korkova entered Isa's company.

I hardly bear the darkness in any big circle.

Inexplicably, he became Elizabeth's angel.

This made Karolina Korkova less wary of her circle and colleagues.

To put it bluntly, he is too young and has relatively little experience.

Hearing Alexandra ask this.

Carolina even said a little proudly:

I'm back in New York! I sent a message yesterday to ask. The boss said he would come to see me today or tomorrow!

Of Elizabeth's angels, only four had Abel's number.

These four people were the first to come to the villa.

Karolina Korkova is one of them.

She is also relatively naive and courageous.

He was also the one among the four who dared to send messages to Abel.

Oh oh oh~ Alexandra smiled.

Then Alexandra swam in the water for a few more minutes.

She said to Karolina Korkova:

Carolina, I'm tired. I won't swim anymore. I'm going back to change clothes first.

Karolina Korkova said innocently:

Are you tired of swimming so quickly? You swam for most of the day yesterday. Okay, I'll swim for a while longer.

Alexandra nodded with a smile and left, returning directly to the room.

In the same room as Alexandra, Angela Lindewald, who had charming eyes like a fox, was not there.

Angela went to Miami, and Alexandra had the room to herself for the time being.

Alessandra quickly came to sit in front of the makeup mirror.

She started applying makeup carefully and then picked out clothes.

So waiting for Abel was around four o'clock in the afternoon.

Take a boat across the sea and arrive at No. 1 Thirteenth Road, Royal Point, New York.

When walking into the largest living room, which was once used as a temporary show stage.

In the warm living room.

What he saw was Alessandra Ambrosio, who was wearing cool clothes and very nice light makeup.

Mr Smith!

Seeing Abel's arrival, Alexandra showed an expression of surprise and joy on her face.

She jumped up on the couch.

In the cool clothes, she has a very material figure, which looks very beautiful because of her jumping.

Abel's eyes were fixed on Ambrosio's jumping bear, and he smiled and said:

I remember you, your name seems to be Alexander?

When he heard this sound, Abel felt strange.

Because his father also has this name.

Alessandra, Alessandra Ambrosio corrected.

The name is pronounced differently when applied to a woman, dear sir.

Okay. Abel smiled and nodded.

Alexander is a common name in the United States.

And not only men can use it, some parents also choose this name for their daughters.

But the name is, after all, the name of Alexander the Great.

It's okay for men to use it, but it'll be weird for women to use it.

Later, different pronunciations developed, and when a woman used this name, she would pronounce it as Alexandra.

Alexandra, why are you the only one here? Abel walked towards her curiously.

Alexandra answered obediently:

Some of them are taking a nap, some are swimming, and some don't know what they are doing.

I'm reading here~

Abel naturally hugged her into the sea.

He also saw Alexandra holding a copy of The Old Man and the Sea in her hand.

Alexandra's The Old Man and the Sea is certainly not a song.

It is a work written by the famous American writer Hemingway in the last century.

The story revolves around an elderly Cuban fisherman who fights a huge marlin in the Gulf Stream far offshore.

Abel felt strange.

I thought to myself, how could a top supermodel who is a scumbag read such a boring book?

Even Abel himself.

He also finished reading this book in junior high school when he had the strongest desire to read in his life before he was reborn.

He didn't know.

This is the persona Alessandra Ambrosio created for herself in front of him.

A beautiful supermodel who pursues high-end tastes, likes literature and philosophy, but has a good figure and strong professional skills.

At least now, this persona has aroused Abel's curiosity and attention.

One is dressed coolly and has a super figure.

She is a beautiful woman who is flattering to herself and looks quite artistic at the same time.

It would be strange if Abel wasn't interested.

This made him and Alexandra couldn't help but chat a little more.

While chatting, the clothes on his body disappeared.

As they chatted, Alexandra’s clothes disappeared.

Waiting for Karolina Korkova to finish swimming comfortably later.

Back in the room, she put on her bathrobe and wanted to sit in the living room.

When she arrived outside the living room, she heard sounds coming from inside.

This voice was all too familiar to Karolina Korkova.

She quietly opened the door and saw a copy of Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea falling on the ground inside.

The Old Man and the Sea is covered with a pair of tulle trousers produced by Elizabeth.

Above, on the sofa.

Abel and Alexandra are reading.

Karolina Korkova is relatively naive, but she is not stupid.

I have also heard many legends in the circle.

When she saw the woman inside, it was Alexandra, not other colleagues.

The young big KK immediately understood something.

This made her grit her teeth and feel furious:

Madefak! Bichi, Dabichi!

She had already guessed that Alexandra was trying to trick her just now!

This made the young KK realize the darkness of this circle.

Even the Garden of Eden in the industry cannot escape this pattern.

At most, it is relatively orderly, has rules, and has its own king.

In other respects, this place is actually no different from the outside world.

After thinking about this clearly, Karolina Korkova gritted her teeth, opened the door and walked in.

Later, naturally, the three of them watched The Old Man and the Sea together.

After that, other supermodels came.

The number of people watching The Old Man and the Sea together changed from three to four, four to five, and five to six.

Finally, including Abel, there are eight people in total, reading Hemingway’s masterpiece——

The Old Man and the Sea.

This is The Old Man and the Sea. The content in the book is slightly different from Hemingway's original work.

This version of Abel's The Old Man and the Sea.

It’s about seven mermaids.

The story revolves around a young fisherman named Abel who fights on sofas, carpets, walls and many other places.

When Abel left No. 1 Thirteenth Road, Royal Point, New York.

It was already daytime the next day.

It's a nice day today, the snow has finally stopped in New York.

The sun is out, and although the sky is not clear, it still makes people feel physically and mentally comfortable.

Abel walked out of the villa, holding his waist, hands on his hips, looking at the sky with a smile.

He explored his limits.

One against seven, no pressure!

In this way, he left No. 1 Thirteenth Road, Royal Point, New York.

Today is already February 17th.

There are still three days left until the end of the first phase of Smith Capital’s private placement.

Smith Capital has notified 100 LPs (investors) of the first phase of private placement.

Let them come by themselves or have representatives come to Smith Capital for a meeting on the 20th.

This incident quickly spread throughout New York.

The general profitability of this private equity fund.

At the Smith Capital investment reception that night on November 15th last year.

It has been announced once.

Now the closed period is about to end, even if it is not the LPs of this private placement.

Other New York rich people, and even American rich people who have heard about it, are also very curious about this matter.

Everyone is curious, but only three months have passed since November.

This private equity account has grown from US$3 billion to more than US$8.6 billion.

Now another three months have passed.

What will become of the balance of US$8.6 billion?

Did an additional US$5 billion make it US$13.6 billion?

Still not US$13.6 billion, or even more than US$13.6 billion?

Basically these are three guesses.

Anyway, no one thought it would be less than 8.6 billion US dollars.

Wall Street, in particular, is very curious about this.

Mainly last month.

In the USD/JPY incident between Smith Capital and more than a dozen investment banks.

Smith Capital hurt them.

Let these investment banks know that Smith Capital's profits will definitely be terrible.

At this time, David Mellon announced on behalf of Smith Capital.

Smith Capital’s new private equity funds 4, 5, and 6, a total of three phases of private equity funds, will begin to raise funds.

To all American investors.

This news instantly detonated the New York rich circle.

After it spread to the wealthy circles in the United States.

There were even many wealthy Americans who immediately took private planes and flew directly to New York.

And David Mellon is smart enough.

He did not explain at all to the outside world that Abel would not be the fund manager for these three private placements, but another trader from Smith Capital.

If we say it directly, many rich people may not come.

But if you don’t tell them, trick them into the company first.

Even if they get angry and regret it afterwards, they should still be able to retain some customers.

And doing so will do no harm to Smith Capital.

Because there were Phase 2 and Phase 3 private placements ahead, which were managed by Abel.

And it’s not like Abel will no longer create new private placements in the future.

In these three phases of private placement, Abel will also come forward to provide certain guarantees.

There are three prongs of these efforts.

These private placements from Smith Capital should not be difficult to raise.
