America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 178 Suppression from Wall Street

  Marriage, marriage, marriage.

  Abel no longer knows how many people have thought about marrying him.

   He is sure that there are several.

   Like Anne Hirst in New York.

  This elder of the Hearst family who has no inheritance rights.

  She was very obvious.

   Here, it is estimated that part of it is the meaning of the Hearst family ruler.

   Otherwise, it would be impossible for an old-school wealthy family like them to allow Amanda to be so crazy.

  Secondly, Barron Hilton, this guy also mentioned to Abel several times that his granddaughter Paris Hilton is very cute.

  In addition, Ted Lena almost said directly, "You married my daughter."

  Even Robert and Abel thought the old guy was so interesting!

   How many are there?

   What's more, those who haven't expressed it yet may just think about it in their hearts.

   Or people who have no chance.

  He also knows that his current condition is more critical than his age.

  In this class, it is bound to be a very good marriage partner.

  As you become more and more successful, this trend will definitely become more and more obvious.

   Even before this, Abel had already created a **** personality for himself.

   No, that's not human design at all. Those wealthy families can easily know that Abel is a real playboy.

  But in the eyes of these traditional giants, it is estimated that they think this is nothing.

  In some families with marriages, the bond of their marriage is the pair of family members who got married.

  The two ends of this bond, the husband and wife, often play their own games.

   This is a bit like the habit of the former royal families in Europe.

  As long as the direct heirs are guaranteed to be of their own blood, they don't seem to mind much when they regenerate later.

   Or as long as you don't have children and don't stain your blood, you really don't mind.

  This concept was also brought over by the Americans from Europe.

   The leading role in the soul is the Chinese Abel, who is very repulsed by this kind of thing.

  His concept of this kind of thing is closer to the habits of the ancient Chinese dynasty.

  That is, I can have three wives and four concubines, but you can only stick to one.

   However, in the United States, his idea is obviously impossible.

   He can use his wealth and influence, even authority.

  Let those girls whose status is not equal to his, succumb to him, half helpless or tempted to respect this traditional virtue of the Celestial Dynasty.

  Like Charlize and the others.

  Even a nouveau riche and a pseudo-rich family like Ikana.

   may also yield.

   But this kind of authority is obviously useless to the same class.

  If it was useful, the European kings would probably not allow their wives to have QR.

   Abel is sure.

  If I really married wealthy daughters like Amanda.

  Let’s not talk about what the fish in the fish pond will think, whether they will run away because of this.

  Amanda, these daughters themselves and the families behind them, will definitely have ideas after a long time.

   Unless the Amandas play like this after they get married and everyone plays their own, something will happen.

   This is the reason why he didn't want to provoke the real wealthy daughters from the very beginning.

Of course.

   This kind of thing is not without a solution.

  A better solution.

   That's the "Amanda" Abel was looking for, the one who doesn't mind Abel playing outside.

  It can let him make colorful flags flutter outside, and the red flag at home will not be green if it does not fall.

  Under the condition that "Amanda" is not strong and does not take the initiative to fight back against Abel.

  The family behind her, even if they don't like Abel, there is a high probability that they will not do anything reckless.

   Like this.

   At most, Abel and this "Amanda" who married Abel are not well-known in the wealthy class for such things.

   In addition, it is necessary to ensure that the family of "Amanda" is not so prominent.

   Or her status in the family, it wasn't very important before that.

  Abel already had plans when he was around thirty years old.

  If you really can’t bear the pressure in this area.

   Find such an "Amanda" to marry.

  Before that, he continued to raise fish while looking for this kind of "Amanda" that satisfied him.

   But now it seems that before this, it will be more uncomfortable in this regard.

   Didn't you see Herbert expressing it to Alex so cryptically?

  Father Adams, who is a dignified father and son, can take the initiative to bring up this matter.

   This shows that they value Smith's relationship with the bush.

  If they can really come together, it may not be certain that the two families can become the Iron Alliance in the future.

  The shrubs used to be big families, but now they are even more prominent.

   It is impossible to directly reject that, and that would really offend people too much.

  After much deliberation, Abel can only blame himself for being too attractive in the end.

   As for this question, at present, he feels that escaping is probably the best way.

   This made him early the next morning, after eating the loving breakfast prepared by his grandma.

   Before Alex could speak, he ran away.

  Looking at the young and tall figure, it disappeared at the door of the living room.

   Arya couldn't help but blame her husband:

   "Alex. You are too impatient! Abel is still young! He is only twenty years old!"

   "What's wrong with being twenty? We were both married when we were twenty." Alex disagreed.

   "Maybe Abel is like his father. Alexander married late, maybe Abel wants to marry so late?" Arya said.

   Speaking of this, Alex is a little angry.

   "Hmph! It's because my **** son got married late! I won't have a grandson until I'm in my fifties!" Alex said:

   "Old John gave birth to John at the age of 15, and John gave birth to Little John at the age of 16, and Little John gave birth to John IV at the age of 17!"

   "Obviously I am the same age as Old John. But how many grandchildren does he have? He has many great-great-grandchildren!"

   Arya is speechless, can this be compared?

  Smith came with the Mayflower anyway.

  John and his family are Irish descendants who fled during the famine.

  It was in Texas back then, if it wasn't for the older generation of Smith to take in.

   Now I don’t know if there is John and his family.

  Ireland has many children, so it is already very famous.

   "But now I read reports in the newspaper that our little cutie already has many girlfriends."

   Arya can only speak for Abel in this way.

   "Just for fun." Alex disagreed:

   "As long as you get married, you should be more restrained. No one can tell what's wrong with him."

   Arya thought so too.

  Grandma sometimes thinks about it, and secretly feels strange.

  Her husband is not good at this, and her son is also very devoted.

   Didn't expect her grandson. Is this revenge?

  Revenge on her son and her husband for their innocence in this regard?

   Let her grandson, so exaggerated in this regard?

  Arya, a devout believer, could only say "Amen" in her heart, acquiescing to her husband's arrangement.

  Abel returned to Los Angeles soon.

  December in Texas has begun to get cold, and some areas have begun to snow.

  December in California, but still sunny.

   Occasionally a little rain, but very little snow.

   Of course, California is not without snow.

   Just getting snow in California often requires two things.

  One is when the northern hemisphere is unusually cold.

  The other is when the Hawaii sub-high is out of control.

  The previous condition has been met this year, and winter has come early all over the world.

   Fortunately, the subtropical high in Hawaii at the back is relatively strong, and it still affects California.

  This makes California a little colder this year than last year, but there is no sign of snow at the moment.

  Abel, who returned to Los Angeles, is already preparing to return to New York.

  Although New York is very cold at this time, there is a new snowstorm coming recently.

  But it’s impossible not to go back.

  He was looking forward to Elizabeth's back garden, the first Isa show in Times Square.

  This big show brought by himself changed part of the timeline.

  How could he be absent?

  The models signed by Yisha will gather in New York for rehearsal and training.

  He felt that he couldn't miss it either.

  So here in Los Angeles, he stayed for a few more days.

  After having some tenderness with Annie and the others, and at the same time handling the company affairs here.

   On December 15th.

  He returned to New York on Delta's private charter service.

anyway.

  Abel’s order to Boeing and Gulfstream is still half a year away from the fastest delivery time.

   In other words, his brand new private jet.

   At least until June next year to get it.

   This is mainly because the few orders he placed required all brand new aircraft.

  Gulfstream is fine.

  If you add more money and force it, it is estimated that the delivery can be made two or three months in advance.

  There is no way for Boeing.

  At this time, Boeing's business was as prominent as the current national strength of the United States.

  The production orders in the Boeing aircraft factory are estimated to take three to four years.

   Being able to give birth to Abel so quickly is the result of extra money.

   Play around, unless Abel is willing to accept second hand.

   Otherwise, in a short period of time, he is such a rich man, but he doesn't have his own private jet.

  When conducting business flights, you can only choose the private charter service of the airline.

   Fortunately, it only took half a year, and Abel could bear it.

   What's more, he has a few "old acquaintances" at Delta Airlines.

   This time on the plane, he reunited with the married beautiful stewardess Maria.

   Under the gesture of his eyes.

  The charming wife, Maria, obediently came over to cover him with a blanket and play the harmonica.

  Abel also because of her good harmonica playing.

  Afterwards, David Jones gave her a small gift.

   After all, eels come and go.

  Looking on the map, Los Angeles is far from New York.

  The actual flight time only takes about 6 hours.

  But in fact, on the clock or watch, the flight process only takes three hours.

  Because there is a three-hour time difference between these two places.

   There is only one official time in China, and that is the time of the imperial capital.

   But in the United States, there are four official times.

  So when foreigners watch American news reports, they often see at the beginning of the news—

  【US East Coast Time xxx】

  【US West Coast Time xxx】

  【US Central Time xxxx】

  【US Mountain Time xxx】

very complicated.

  Many foreign newspapers simply use local time to express.

   While in the United States, it is strictly required to use one of the four time zones in news reports.

   It is sometimes a bit complicated for ordinary people to convert.

   As complex and changeable as official U.S. time.

   There are also American standards for weights and measures, and even a standard for dollar currency conversion.

   These are all Americans learned from the British, or they themselves brought them from Europe.

  But Europe, including the UK, no longer uses this complicated thing.

   Americans are stubborn, and they use their own standards life and death.

  US East Coast time, December 15th at four o'clock in the afternoon.

  Delta Airlines' Gulfstream G400 landed at LaGuardia Airport in Queens.

   It is different from California, which is still considered warm.

  New York in mid-December is still New York with La Niña climate.

  When Abel got off the plane.

  The cold wind blowing on his face, even with his physique, wearing comfortable and heavy warm clothes, felt a little cold.

   I don’t know how many homeless people have froze to death in New York this year.

  Master Abel is kind-hearted, and he hates this.

   So he never goes to the ghettos in places like Brooklyn.

  It was snowing heavily outside, and Abel didn't want to be stuck in Manhattan at this time.

  He simply went straight back to the Smith Building, and asked someone to call Michael Levine over.

   Before Michael Levine came over.

  Abel was in the office, chatting with David Mellon, whom he hadn't seen for a month.

  “.Obviously.”

  In the office, David said with a wry smile:

   "Ni's terms don't make them happy. Gosh, $500 billion! If it's true!"

  David owns 2% of the dry shares of Smith Capital.

   There are conditions for him to take this share.

  The condition is that David will work for Abel for at least fifteen years.

   Only when the working period expires can these shares officially belong to him.

   Very demanding contracts.

  Before this, David felt that he had given Abel a ecstasy soup.

   will agree to such harsh conditions.

  But now, David doesn't think so.

  Who calls this 2% share, it may really be very, very valuable!

  The voting rights of the other 2% of the shares must also be handed over to Abel.

  Before this, David could only get 2% of the company's dividends.

  Now if the market value of Smith Capital's $500 billion is true.

  That is equivalent to David's net worth of 10 billion US dollars at once.

  Even if it takes fifteen years to officially own it.

   But it was enough to make David ecstatic.

  But in David's view, even if there is a gambling agreement.

  Abel's valuation of US$500 billion is indeed a bit exaggerated.

  The GM GE Group with the largest market value, a century-old brand, and the company of the famous inventor Edison.

  One of the pillars of American technology, the current market value is not 500 billion US dollars.

  Abel smiled and said:

   "I believe that Smith Capital has such a value, and it will only be worth more in the future. Work hard, and in a few years you will be a billionaire!"

  David wanted to say that it was impossible, but he himself was looking forward to it.

   Ten billionaires!

  The Mellon family, how many years have there been no billionaires?

   There are dozens of billionaires, and more than a dozen billionaires.

  David sometimes didn't know whether his ancestors were doing the right thing.

  Melon's split completely lost the ability to confront contemporary opponents like Rockefeller and Morgan.

   You must know that Mellon did not even lose to those two at the most glorious time of his time.

   But its split has also allowed it to basically stabilize its presence in the upper echelons of the United States.

  Contemporary more than two hundred members, scattered in various industries across the United States.

  If Mellon is really needed, these loose Mellon words can be combined.

   In terms of momentum, it is not impossible to compete with Morgan and the others.

  Even David himself knew it.

  Even now, it is probably impossible to bring Thomas Mellon, Andrew Mellon, Richard Mellon and others back from the dead.

   Reminiscing about the Mellon Empire in his heart, David looked at Abel seriously:

   "BOSS, my boss. Just like what I reported to you before. It's not wrong, it's about the same as you guessed."

   "After that, they have indeed begun to stare at us vaguely."

   "According to your request, the several small-scale investments I have operated have all been attacked to some extent."

   "The flow of funds is obviously monitored very strictly by them."

   "Boss, what you did made them angry. These guys are targeting us."

  What David said.

   When Abel was in Los Angeles, he let David free himself.

  Use the account and funds of Smith Capital to make several small transactions in the market.

  The trading style also imitates Abel.

  It is that David, unlike Abel, has no hang-ups to open.

  The losses in several transactions were a bit large, with a loss of more than 10 million US dollars.

   This is an unprecedented loss for Smith Capital.

   There is certainly a reason why David can't hang out, and he is not as perverted as Abel.

  But David's own ability is not bad. Normally, even if he can't make a lot of money, he won't lose much.

  But still lost so much.

  After reading the transaction records.

  Abel confirmed that the capital flow of Smith Capital is indeed closely monitored.

  And colleagues on Wall Street must be sniping at Smith Capital.

   "Knew it would happen."

  Abel smiled.

  Abel knew that this was the result of his showdown to Wall Street.

   Be these crocodiles.

  They found Abel, didn't want to be like Peter Lynch.

  Unwilling to be reconciled to only being their cash cow.

   There is absolutely no way to avoid this kind of thing.

  Abel is not like Buffett, who likes prudent investment and value investment.

  Abel's investment style, in the eyes of these people, favors risk.

  The risk is very high, and many times it is impossible to find the international futures and foreign exchange market whose counterparty is.

   It is also more convenient for these people to carry out sniping and deliberate strikes.

"but it does not matter."

  Abel looked at David:

   "I will make them realize soon. On the battlefield of capital, what kind of existence are they going to face!"

   After Abel finished speaking, he felt that he was a little bit in the second place.

   But David Mellon doesn't think so.

   "Good!" David Mellon cheered up:

   "My good boss, it would be great if you can think like this! I believe you, Smith Capital will definitely step on them!"

   "Only in this way! We can make them understand that the valuation of 500 billion US dollars is not excessive at all!"

   This is probably one of the reasons why this guy is so superstitious about Abel.

  David Mellon really has a cow in Smith Capital.

  Smith Capital can take off, he is the heir of the New York Mellon family.

   can immediately beat his father and grandfather.

   This has basically tied David Mellon to Smith Capital.

   This is also one of the confidences that Abel can say no to Wall Street.

  If there is no David Mellon's ability in trading.

  If it were Abel himself, it would be too much to be honest.

  If you really want him to do it by himself, it is estimated that he will only be a super invincible cow in this life.

  But if you want to conduct large-scale transactions, it is impossible.

   It often takes half a month to open a position, and it takes half a month to close a position, with an investment of tens of billions of dollars.

  One person can’t even play with a supercomputer.

  This is also the reason why he chose to give David a share.

   This is the best way for two people to have common interests and stand together firmly against the outside world.

   Otherwise David Mellon was a genius on Wall Street.

  Because of his background, as long as he continues to do well in Wall Street, he may even hope to become the CEO of a major investment bank.

  If it weren’t for Abel’s bullishness at the time, and he was attracted by Abel’s shares.

  With his background and ability, why should he work for a Dixie from Texas?

  Strictly speaking, David Mellon is also a typical old East Coast Yankee guy.
