Chapter 58 The beginning of the yacht business
Abel was with Ovitz when he met Sarah Michelle Gellar and Liv Tyler.
He had already made a guess.
When he and Ovitz arrived on the yacht, they saw the women around other guests.
He already understood.
I understand what kind of gathering today is.
Look, over there,
At the Hilton family banquet, it was Bloomberg, who had met him once.
Isn’t the woman next to Bloomberg Helen Hunt?
Who is Helen Hunt?
She was an Oscar winner a few years ago.
In 1997, at the 70th Academy Awards ceremony.
Unintentionally, she became the best actress due to her outstanding performance in As Good As It Gets.
There was another woman beside Bloomberg, whom Abel did not recognize.
But it looks familiar, he must be an actor who has acted in movies or something.
On the other side, next to another guest.
Abel saw Vera Farmiga, another well-known Hollywood actor.
In addition, among the female guests on the yacht.
There were many actors and actresses he was familiar with.
It's the kind of person that when you suddenly see her, you will know that she is an actress, but you can't name her for a while.
Helen Hunt, even though she won an Oscar.
But it's basically the same as not taking it. No movies have been made in the past few years.
I had no choice but to go back to filming TV series and did very poorly.
In Hollywood, it does not mean that becoming an actor or actress will make you an absolute A-level star.
Many people only get Oscar statuettes after becoming A celebrities.
On the other hand, there are many movie kings and movie queens who have won Oscars.
In fact, apart from the awards, he is not doing very well in business.
One of the classic examples is right before our eyes, Helen Hunt.
There are five or six male guests on such a yacht.
More than ten female guests.
The youngest male guest is Abel, and the oldest one looks to be in his sixties.
The oldest female guests are no more than 40 years old.
They are all Hollywood actresses with good looks, figure, temperament and acting skills.
The words X day X banquet had already flashed through Abel's mind.
Ovitz, in the deck corridor.
Faced with Abel’s invitation,
Liv Tyler was quicker.
This beautiful woman with a charming temperament immediately responded with a smile: No problem. As long as I'm not working, I'm free.
Sarah Michelle Gellar did not explicitly refuse. The more delicate-looking actress smiled and said: Me too.
Ovitz, who had disappeared for a while, suddenly came over.
He came over with a bright and beautiful girl about thirty years old.
Hi~ Mr. Smith. I'm here to tell you about the next itinerary of the yacht.
Hi, Michael. You can actually call me by my name.
Just like I prefer to call you Michael, not Mr. Ovitz.
Okay. Ovitz said with a smile:
The yacht will be able to completely sail out of New York Bay in about half an hour.
It will take two hours to sail and we are expected to arrive at Kaulide Island around 4:30.
Ovitz said: Callide Island is my private island.
I have my villa and servants on the island.
There are also bright green beaches that are not found in the city, and flora and fauna that are unique to the island.
At that time, you can choose to spend the night on the island or come back and spend the night on the yacht.
Sounds very good. Abel responded with a smile.
And these old rich guys are very good at playing.
It’s a yacht and a private island.
To be honest, it is standard equipment for these top rich people.
Abel wants to have it now.
Haha~ Ovitz continued with a smile: The yacht will return at noon tomorrow and is expected to return to Manhattan at this time tomorrow.
Abel nodded: I believe it will be a pleasant journey.
Of course, I believe that Ms. Liv and Sarah will also make you feel very happy.
After arriving on the yacht, the ship left the inland sea.
Ovitz's pimp temperament suddenly seemed to be hidden away.
Before boarding the boat just now, they said that the two of them admired Abel's investment ability.
Now on the yacht, I can say the words these two will make you happy directly.
After the key point is revealed,
Neither Liv Tyler nor Sarah Michelle Gellar reacted very well.
Either they were mentally prepared and knew what was going on.
Either they were a little silly and didn't understand what Ovitz meant.
Abel prefers the former, because these two are child stars who jumped into the entertainment industry when they were still in their teens.
You can see the whiteness and sweetness.
But there is no way for a fool to survive in Hollywood.
Okay. Abel said with a smile, Of course, I also hope that the two ladies will be happy as well.
Liv Tyler smiled, she wanted to say something.
But at this time, three people came up behind Ovitz.
Two women and one man.
One is Helen Hunt, one of the most unsatisfactory Oscar-winning actresses.
There was also that gorgeous girl who looked so sexy that Abel couldn't name her.
The only man is Michael Bloomberg.
Americans really like the name Michael.
In the United States, there are probably more people named Michael than there are people named Smith.
Ovitz is called Michael, and so is Bloomberg.
The basketball god Jordan is Michael, and the pop god Jackson is also Michael.
Michael is everywhere.
Oh, Mr. Smith. It's so nice to see you again. The founder and head of Bloomberg, a famous New York billionaire, came over.
Then he smiled and said, It's only been a few days, and we meet again.
Yes. Abel responded with a smile. Although he and Bloomberg only met at the Hilton family banquet.
But before that, Smith Capital had already become one of Bloomberg’s major clients.
Bloomberg, a company that outsiders only know is the world's largest private financial media group.
But everyone knows that it is also one of the advanced information service providers for most business groups in the world, especially companies in the financial investment industry.
Simply put, this is where Bloomberg primarily makes its money.
That is, it can quickly and accurately push financial quotes, intelligence, and news from major markets around the world to its customers.
Their main service targets are major companies, traders, and investors.
Smith Capital is a financial company, so it naturally needs the services of Bloomberg.
At the Smith Capital headquarters in Woolworth Building, there are twenty Bloomberg terminals.
Not counting the price of purchasing them, the annual fee for each one alone is $20,000.
These terminals have exclusive patents and exclusive networks.
They are a cash cow for Bloomberg and the most convenient tool for a large number of financial companies to understand market conditions.
As Bloomberg approached, Ovitz didn't leave.
The entertainment mogul seems to have a good relationship with Bloomberg.
Hey, Michael. Ovitz said with a smile:
The buyer is here, Mr. Smith, and is very interested in the CAA shares you hold.
The three English letters of CAA have no specific concept in the ears of ordinary Americans.
But it is combined with letters such as WME and UTA, and is heard by practitioners in the American entertainment industry.
But it has a different important status.
Therefore, just the combination of the three letters CCA attracted the attention of several ladies nearby who were always smiling.
