The American Kill Line: I Can Predict the Future

A nutritious breakfast is clearly not enough to fill you up.

After having lunch at the Peninsula Hotel, Ron drove the Rolls-Royce Chrono that the hotel provided to the Bowers & Partners law firm on Sixth Avenue.

Alexandra wisely refrained from following the man and disturbing his conversation, and patiently waited in the coffee shop downstairs.

Pauls is a top white-shoe law firm on Wall Street.

Known in Hollywood for high-stakes litigation and white-collar crime defense.

In recent years, it has also engaged in corporate mergers and acquisitions and private equity business.

And achieved good results.

This is why Powell ranks sixth among thousands of law firms in New York.

If Ron chooses Povis, the basic agency fee for one year will be no less than $100 million.

The services included are: asset protection, family governance, trust management, estate planning, federal and state tax planning, charitable donation structure design, offshore tax optimization, investment transaction review, contract negotiation, compliance consulting, etc.

And legal support for purchasing luxury homes, private jets, yachts, art collections, etc.

Compared to Victor's advice, professional lawyers like Paul Vaughan truly understand how to legally minimize taxes.

Ultimately, on Matthew's advice, Ron established a personal S-Corp fund management company.

Unlike traditional joint-stock companies, S-type corporations only tax their shareholders, not the company itself.

This allows you to avoid double taxation while legally minimizing your tax rate.

If Ron wants to continue investing in finance in the future, or to start a private equity or hedge fund, he can directly establish a fund in Delaware and invest as a limited partner (LP) to realize long-term capital gains.

"It's a pleasure working with you!"

After the contract was signed, the rest was left to the law firm of Powell.

All Ron had to do was rent an office in New York and recruit a finance and investment-related employee.

Perfect timing, he also wanted to look at houses.

In the afternoon, Ron spent the whole time shopping with Alexandra.

It has to be said, this girl is truly blessed with good looks.

Alexandra has a delicate oval face, long eyelashes, and a pair of bright blue eyes that sparkle like jewels. She has a high nose bridge and full, sexy lips.

What's most striking is her figure. She's over 1.7 meters tall, with a slender waist without an ounce of fat, and her full hips and impressive bust, all tightly wrapped in a bright red dress, create a visually striking silhouette.

In the Oscar de la Renta ready-to-wear store, Alexandra looked at her dress in front of the mirror:

"How is it, Ron? Does it look good?"

Ron stepped up behind her, stroked his chin, looked at Alexandra in the mirror, frowned and pondered, "Not quite perfect."

Alexandra pouted her rosy lips and playfully wrinkled her nose at Ron in the mirror to express her displeasure.

Ron raised his hand, and as if by magic, a jeweled necklace appeared before Alexandra's eyes.

"Oh my God!" Alexandra exclaimed, covering her mouth in surprise.

Ron fastened the jewelry necklace around her snow-white neck, examining it as if it were a work of art, a satisfied smile spreading across his face: "Now it's perfect!"

"Honey!"

Alexandra turned around, her slender arm hooking around the back of Ron's neck, her icy blue eyes filled with tenderness:

"What should I do? I think I'm starting to fall in love with you."

No woman can resist a romantic surprise, especially an expensive jewelry necklace.

She didn't think Ron would try to fool her with a cheap product.

The dress she's wearing alone is worth tens of thousands of dollars.

Ron gripped her waist, a smile playing on his lips: "Then you'd better figure out, is it love, or love!"

Alexandra paused for a moment, then understood. She tiptoed slightly and gently bit Ron's lower lip: "I want both!"

After shopping, the two went to a coffee shop located on the ground floor of a mid-rise residential building at 710 Park Avenue.

In the coffee shop, the real estate agent gave Ron a detailed introduction to several houses in the vicinity.

This is a well-known, long-established affluent neighborhood in New York, home to many hedge fund giants, oil tycoons, media executives, and members of European royalty.

New Yorkers call them "old money."

The area has nice greenery and convenient transportation.

Most importantly, it's very close to Merrill Lynch, less than two miles away.

After spending half an hour, Ron finally chose a 3000-square-foot high-rise unit.

4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, with a private elevator.

The master suite is 600 square feet and features floor-to-ceiling windows, a custom walk-in closet with double doors, a separate bathtub, a steam shower, and marble walls.

It features a 150-square-foot private terrace where you can relax, have a drink, host a barbecue, or enjoy the view of Central Park.

What pleased Ron the most was the study. It was clear the homeowner was also in finance; the study's design was extremely modern and technologically advanced.

He wasn't sure what was happening to him, but after two experiences, he roughly understood that his future career might be related to finance.

This study came in handy.

He will likely spend a long time here for the foreseeable future.

Unfortunately, the landlord only rents out the property and doesn't sell it.

$50,000 a month, with a two-month deposit.

Ron didn't haggle and finalized the deal on the spot.

While there was still time, Ron took Alexandra to the nearby Manhattan luxury car center.

There just so happens that there's a limited edition Lexus LFA in stock; apparently, the person who ordered it went bankrupt.

It's the Nürburgring Accessories Edition, with some additional features, and the full price is $55.

Ron took a liking to this "little guy" at first sight, and after test driving it, he was even more attracted by its ferocious temper.

I paid by card on the spot.

Thinking that the Rolls-Royce Phantom he had been riding in these past few days was quite nice, Ron spent an extra six hundred thousand dollars to order a flagship version of the Phantom.

The evening breeze in May was slightly cool.

The roar of the engine echoed down Fifth Avenue as people watched the stunning ice-blue car whiz by, their eyes filled with envy.

As the setting sun cast its golden rays, a halo seemed to form around his face. Alexandra gazed at his profile, a strange light shining in her eyes.

A man driving with one hand is still very handsome!

Her family background was actually quite good. She grew up in New York, her father was a prosecutor and her mother was a lawyer, so she had a relatively comfortable life growing up.

Later, after entering Hollywood, he encountered many wealthy people.

But today was the first time she had ever seen a billionaire spend money.

Two cars cost over a million US dollars, bought on a whim.

Hundreds of thousands of dollars in rent were paid without hesitation.

It was even more enjoyable than shopping for clothes in a mall by herself.

Thinking about how she had worked hard for half a year filming, and the salary she received was only enough for a few months' rent for someone else, Alexandra felt for the first time that dating a young billionaire might not be a bad option.

After having dinner at the Peninsula Hotel, Ron brought out his luggage.

Actually, he didn't have much.

He became rich too quickly; all he had was a laptop and a few sets of clothes.

There weren't even toiletries.

Alexandra said with a smile, "I'll go shopping with you."

Ron raised an eyebrow, understanding the implication in her words.

But then again, bowling is actually quite fun.

After a moment's thought, he nodded gently: "Then let's go. I'd like to try it too, and see if your cooking is really as delicious as you say."

"You won't be disappointed; I received direct instruction from my mother."
