America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 362 Smith in Seoul

  Silla Hotel in Seoul has always been the supreme representative of Hanguo Hotel.

  It has a history that Han people are extremely proud of, as well as a well-known word-of-mouth service.

  The key is that it is located in the city center of Seoul, but it is built on the mountain, and behind it is the largest and most beautiful Nanshan Park in the center of Seoul.

   It really has mountains, green bushes, and it is very beautiful in summer. Various birds and small animals also make the park lively.

   It is located in the city center and surrounded by the largest park, and it is also a brand of Samsung Group.

  There is no doubt that it has become a "state guesthouse" for Han people.

  Abel's penthouse suite is on the twenty-third floor.

  The VIP executive lounge of this hotel is also on this floor.

  The next day, when Abel took Li Fuzhen and Li Xinyu with him.

  In the executive lounge of Shilla Hotel.

  Through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, overlooking the snowy Shouer outside, while eating breakfast by the way.

  The father and elder brother of the two sisters, that is, Lee Jae-seo and Lee Young-jae came.

   But when they want to get closer.

   was stopped by Lincoln and Johnson far away.

  The 23rd and 22nd floors of Shilla Hotel are now occupied by Li Fuzhen.

  The people who live here are all Abel's people.

  The rock security guards guard the elevator, and if they don't let them pass, no one can pass.

   "It's Dad, and brother!"

   Li Xinyu whispered to her pregnant sister.

   Li Fuzhen nodded, her gentle eyes looked at Abel.

  Abel shrugged, and said to Edward standing next to him, "Let the two Mr. Li come over."

  Edward nodded and called out to Lincoln and Johnson.

  For the first time in their own hotel, Lee Jae-seo and Lee Young-jae were restricted like this.

   Only then was he able to approach this side, and the other Suiyuan who followed the two were not allowed to approach.

   Only father and son came over.

  Abel is looking at the well-known head of the Li family, the invisible economy of the Han Kingdom.

   At least economically yes.

   Lee Jae-seo just turned 60 this year.

  His appearance is definitely considered handsome among Han men.

   This made his 4 children grow up to the same extent.

   Like the only son standing next to him, Li Xinyu and Li Fuzhen's older brother Li Rongzai.

   Li Rongzai can definitely be said to be a handsome guy among Han Guo's original men.

  At this time, the two good-looking father and son walked up to Abel.

  Seeing my beloved father and my elder brother who made me a little awed come over.

  Li Xinyu stood up subconsciously. After standing up, she found that her sister hadn't stood up.

  Li Xinyu looked at her sister a few more times.

   Li Fuzhen just smiled at her, and directly greeted her father and elder brother who came over:

   "Dad, and brother. Good morning."

  Li Xinyu came to his senses, and quickly greeted his father and elder brother.

   Li Rongzai responded to the two younger sisters.

   His eyes fell on Abel, and then back to his father.

   Li Zaixi spoke.

  His English is pretty good, and he can't hear the Han accent too much.

   "Mr. Smith. Good morning. The richest man in the world has come to Shouer and can stay at the Shilla Hotel. This is simply the greatest honor of our Li family. Welcome, Mr. Smith!"

   Li Zaixi's tone is sincere, and it sounds easy to give people a good impression.

  After contacting so many business leaders, Abel has discovered one thing.

   That is, many bigwigs in the business world, most of them can give ordinary people a kind and friendly feeling in their tone or manner when they talk to others.

  This may be the trait of a successful person.

   It is more likely that these people have undergone special grooming studies.

   Like Abel knows now, in the top service industry, or business courses.

   There are people who teach these skills to the rich.

  Li Zaixi, whether it is the former or the latter, he has done very successfully.

   Switching to an ordinary person, I saw the chairman of the Samsung Group and the patriarch of the Li family, the largest family in the country, talking to him so gently.

  Then this ordinary person will most likely be surrounded by Li Zaixi for a long time.

   Corporal Lixian, nothing more than that.

   "Hello, Mr. Li. Good morning, how about sitting down and having breakfast together, and then talking?"

  Abel smiled and signaled Li Fuzhen and Li Xinyu to come and sit next to him, so that their father and brother could sit opposite Abel.

   Li Fu is really obedient, even if her father and brother are in front, even if she is still a "widow" in name.

  She acted like Abel's little girl, sat up obediently from the seat, and sat down beside Abel across the way.

  Li Xinyu hesitated for a while, not knowing whether to sit next to her sister or sit with her brother and father.

   After Li Fuzhen sat down next to Abel, he suddenly said:

   "Xinyu come over here and sit next to my sister. My sister is a little tired, please lean on me."

  Li Xinyu looked at the eldest sister whose belly was round.

  She looked at her father and brother again, hesitated for a moment, Li Xinyu nodded and stood up.

  She bypassed her father and brother, and sat next to the elder sister.

  Li Zaixi and Li Rongzai sat down where they were sitting just now.

   Before Abel or Li Zaixi could speak again, Li Fuzhen said suddenly:

   "Ah, I can't see Shouer in the snow from here. Darling, I want to sit by your side, can I sit by the window?"

  Abel was startled, then smiled and said, "Yes, be careful."

  He stood up, supported her waist and shoulders, let her go around him, and sat by the window.

  So Li Xinyu, who was sitting next to Li Fuzhen, now sat with Abel.

  Abel sat in the middle, with Li Fuzhen by the window on the left, and Li Xinyu near the aisle on the right.

  It looks like he is hugging left and right at the moment, enjoying the two beautiful daughters of the Li family.

  Let Li Rongzai on the opposite side clenched his fists.

  Only Li Zaixi kept smiling, even his eyes didn't change much.

   Li Fuzhen also didn't seem to care.

   It seems that she really sat there to enjoy the snow scene.

  Abel also looks generous.

   On the contrary, it was Li Xinyu who didn't know what to do.

  She felt that she should continue to sit here, as if she had betrayed her father and brother.

   But sitting on the side of brother and father, it seems that it will make my sister unhappy, and it is also not giving Abel face.

  She felt that nothing she could do was good.

  He simply lowered his head slightly, not making eye contact with his father and brother, and pretended to be an ostrich.

  After the episode of swapping seats.

  Just as Li Zaixi was about to speak, he opened his mouth when he heard Abel speak first.

"Mr. Li, this is my first visit to Hanguo and Seoul. I haven't had breakfast yet. Just now I wanted Anna and Jessica to recommend some local special breakfasts. Now, Mr. Li, you are here. How about you recommending it?"

  Hearing what Abel said, Li Rongzai subconsciously looked at his father.

  Recommend Han Guo’s special breakfast to foreigners?

  Li Rongzai thought to himself, his father would never recommend all kinds of kimchi to this ghost...

   After all, the classic foods with Han’s specialties are only kimchi and stone pot barbecue.

  Other sandwiches that Han people like to eat now are all Western-style breakfasts from the West.

  He is an American, and this is what he eats in the United States.

  I came to Han Country, so I can’t recommend these, and then say that these are also the characteristics of Han Country.

  Stealing countries, stealing things and stealing culture, has always only stolen from the father’s country.

  Facing the adoptive father who is now holding a big stick, they have never dared to be filial.

   Stealing is not dared to steal.

  Li Zaixi smiled and said softly:

   "Ah, I'm sorry about this. Han Country is a gourmet desert, and we couldn't even have enough food in ancient times. In terms of gourmet food, only barbecue can barely count."

   "But Mr. Smith, you are from Texas. The barbecue in Texas is famous all over the world. It's not good for us Han people to talk about barbecue in front of you. I'm sorry..."

  The father of the sisters of the Li family, when he said that these Han people heard the words about jumping.

  His tone is relaxed, his attitude is sincere, and he seems very generous, directly admitting that there is no good food in Han Country.

  With this appearance, Abel couldn't help raising his impression of him in his heart.

   Sure enough, it can be successful, even if it is the second generation, it is still outstanding.

   Is this true for the second generation of the Shushu family, as the second generation of the Samsung Group, Li Zaixi is the same.

   "Okay." Abel said with a smile:

   "Then let someone serve some barbecue, sandwiches or something. Oh, I almost forgot I brought the chef over."

  Abel looked at David next to him, who smiled back at him:

   "David, ask Stephen to grill some steaks for me. I want Texas style, um...grill more, let the two Mr. Li also taste our Texas style."

  After explaining, Abel looked at Li Zaixi again, "Mr. Li, is it okay to have barbecue in the morning? Oh, and Mr. Li."

  He eats steak in the morning, and that's what Ghost really is.

   Li Rongzai thought to himself, but just like his father, he smiled and nodded in agreement.

  After the breakfast food is decided.

  Li Zaixi finally found a chance to speak.

   "Mr. Smith." Li Zaixi said.

"Ok?"

   "You just came here." Li Zaixi smiled and said, "There is one thing, I want you to give me some reference."

"What's up?"

   "It looks like this."

   Li Zaixi seemed to be considering his tone, and seemed to be thinking about it. He paused for more than ten seconds.

   Under the watchful eyes of his two daughters and only son, as well as the Americans present.

  Li Zaixi said: "As we all know, there are many families with a long history in the United States. Like Mr. Smith, your Smith family, or the Bush family, the Walton family and so on."

"Especially the Walton family, where the founder has many heirs. Then I would like to know what kind of arrangement a family like them has when dividing the inheritance or making a will. Mr. Smith, can you give me a suggestion ?"

  Abel looked at Li Zaixi, wondering why the old man suddenly mentioned such a thing.

  The Walton family's will and the method of dividing the family property should be the kind that can be easily found for people at Li Zaixi's level.

  Sam Walton, who founded Wal-Mart, has not been dead for ten years.

  When the Walton family divided the inheritance, many newspapers reported it in great detail.

   It is easy to find if you want to find it now.

  I really want to study how to divide the family property and make a will.

  Then just let someone find it, why ask yourself?

  But the current Abel, after all, is not the time when he just traveled.

  Except for two talents, he is an ordinary former Huaxia Internet writer.

  After listening to Li Zaixi's words, it took only a few seconds.

  Abel already understood why Li Zaixi suddenly raised this question.

  Different from Li Zaixi, Abel said bluntly:

   "Mr. Li, looking at you like this, do you want to make a will?"

   Faced with Abel's directness, Li Zaixi was a little uncomfortable.

   What Li Zaixi faced in Han State were more traditional Han State businessmen.

  Hanguo is also in the East Asian Confucian cultural circle, and the merchant culture here is still closer to Huaxia.

  It is more tactful and graceful when it is reflected in negotiation and speaking skills.

  Not as direct as European and American businessmen.

  Look at Abel being so straightforward, and his son who suddenly collapsed when he heard the "will" beside him.

   and the two daughters on the opposite side looked at him.

   Li Zaixi sighed in his heart, and nodded slightly.

   "Yes. I'm already thinking about it. After all this year, I'll be 60 next year."

   "I always have to think about my afterlife, so making a will and the distribution of the estate also need to be put on the agenda."

  Abel looked at Li Zaixi, then at Li Rongzai.

  The latter looked at him and himself, and gave Abel a friendly smile.

  Abel smiled, and spread his hands directly at Li Zaixi, "I can't help here. First of all, I'm not a lawyer or an accountant, and I don't understand the law, let alone Han's law."

   "Secondly, this is Mr. Li's private matter after all. I'm not in a position to manage it, and I'm not qualified to do so. If you want advice, Mr. Li, maybe I can recommend Mr. Dakning from PricewaterhouseCoopers?"

  Li Zaixi secretly hated him. He is the same as many old men and old guys that Abel met in the United States.

  At this time, I also felt in my heart whether Abel was slippery or not.

  She looks so young, and her actual age is only less than twenty-two years old, but she looks like this.

  After thinking about it, Li Zaixi also decided not to be so verbose.

  The old man looked at his two daughters, and then turned his head to look at Li Rongzai.

   "I have already drawn up the will."

  Li Zaixi suddenly revealed a rumor that the brothers and sisters of the Li family had heard.

   All of a sudden, the three brothers and sisters all looked at Li Zaixi.

  Even Li Fuzhen, who seemed very calm at first, and Li Xinyu, who had been an ostrich just now.

   "Mr. Smith, can you have one of your people fetch it for me? It's right behind me at the lawyer's."

   Li Zaixi pointed to several attendants of the Li family who were blocked outside.

  Abel nodded, and Lincoln over there took a file bag from a Han Chinese in a suit and leather shoes.

  Under Abel's signal, Lincoln handed over the portfolio directly to Li Zaixi.

  Li Zaiximo remained silent, took out several documents inside, and handed them to his three children who were present.

   "Take a look. Xuxian didn't come back from New York, but I have someone give her a copy."

  Lee Jae-seo said to his children

  Xuxian is the name of his second daughter Li Xuxian.

  Same as Li Xinyu, both study in New York.

  But Li Xuxian was studying at Parsons School of Fashion Design.

  In the parallel time and space, after returning from school, the Second Miss of the Li family is mainly in charge of clothing and textiles in the Samsung Group.

  Now the three children of the Li family, after receiving the documents, all started to read them in unison.

  Even Li Xinyu, who cared the least about interests, was the same as her brothers and sisters, flipping through the will and inheritance documents handed over by her father.

  Only Li Fuzhen stopped suddenly after turning two pages.

  She smiled softly and handed the document to Abel.

   "The obstetrician said that after I am pregnant, it is not suitable to read too much, it will hurt the eyes, and it is not good for the baby."

   "Honey." She gently hugged Abel's hand, and acted like a baby to her lover in front of her father and brother, "Please help me see."

  Abel looked at Li Zaixi, and the latter smiled at him, indicating that he could watch.

   "Originally, if it is passed, it can be made public." Li Zaixi said.

  Abel nodded and opened Li Zaixi's will.

   Actually, there is nothing to see, because Li Zaixi looks super imposing in Han country, even more prestigious than the commander of Han country.

   All the assets he owns together, at the end of 2001, the total is only more than 6 billion US dollars.

  In the era before the explosion of smartphones, Samsung Electronics, the most profitable company in the Samsung Group, had not yet grown into a giant with an annual profit of 10 to 20 billion U.S. dollars.

  Li Zaixi's net worth, of course, did not grow accordingly.

   After all, the Samsung Group owned by Li Zaixi and the shares of its various subsidiaries are not many.

  The Li family is the same as most Han Guo chaebols and consortiums.

   are just high-end wage earners on Wall Street or foreigners.

   Li Zaixi's net worth of more than 6 billion US dollars is still mostly shares.

  For the vast majority of people, this wealth is already a super astronomical figure that cannot be expected.

   But to Abel, it was nothing.

  The document is thick and the text is thin. It even details the allocation of a car and a luxury item under Li Zaixi's name.

  Give Li Fuzhen this copy in English, and Abel can understand it.

  If it’s in Korean, then he really can’t understand it.

   I don’t know if it was specially prepared, or if all three of them are in English.

  If it is the former, combined with what Li Zaixi suddenly said in front of him today, Abel will understand what Li Zaixi means.

  Thinking of this, Abel looked sideways at the document next to Li Xinyu.

   As a result, he found out that Li Xinyu's copy was in Korean.

  Then... Abel looked at Li Zaixi, he already knew what the old man meant.

  He threw the file directly on the table, and said softly:

"Mr. Li, Anna and her children will not ask for a penny from the Li family. I hope you can understand this. If all goes well, Anna's children will inherit and get most of my property in Han Country. "

   "For example, my shares in Samsung Group, LG Group, Modern Wear Group, SK Group, etc."

  Abel's words attracted everyone's attention to him.

   Li Zaixi and his son were looking at him, and Li Fuzhen and his sister were also looking at him.

   Li Fu really reacted the fastest. She fell directly on Abel's body softly, her expression and movements can be described as gentle as water.

  The three Li family members next to her have never seen her like this before.

   Facing Abel's statement, Li Zaixi opened his mouth to say something, but didn't know what to say.

  At this time, Li Zaixi heard some footsteps and conversations coming from behind him.

   This just eased his embarrassment.

  Li Zaixi hurriedly pretended to look back, and looked behind him.

  He saw the lawyer and entourage he brought over were pushed aside.

   It wasn't crowded by people from Abel's side.

   It was done by another gang of ghosts in overcoats.

  The ghosts were talking to Abel's men after his men were pushed aside.

  Li Zaixi was wondering who this was, what he was looking for Abel for, or what he was doing here.

  His son Li Rongzai immediately whispered in Korean, beside Li Zaixi:

   "It's the four-star general Leon Laporte, the commander-in-chief of the U.S. Command in Hanoi, and the commander Walter Sharp! Why are they here too??!"

  Lee Young Jae used Korean.

   It's not that Li Zaixi doesn't know these two.

  Walter Sharp is okay, Leon Laporte, the overlord of Han.

   Li Zaixi even had dinner with him a few times.

   It’s just that Li Zaixi’s people are old and their eyesight has deteriorated, and the other party is not wearing a military uniform at such a long distance.

  Li Zaixi didn't expect the other party to come here, to a place like Shilla Hotel.

  He didn't remember it for a while.

  His son wears glasses and knows these two people, so he can tell right away.

   Was reminded by Li Rongzai.

  Li Zaixi became much more energetic and stood up all of a sudden.

  He heard Abel, who was sitting opposite, say to the tall, big, white bear-like bodyguard:

   "Go get Mr. Laporte and Mr. Sharp."

  The bodyguards in front, after confirming the identities of the two US military bosses, let them come over long ago.

  But the two military leaders brought so many people here.

   Most of them were also stopped, only Leon Laporte, Walter Sharp, and two other followers who looked very strong at first glance followed.

  Edward who was ordered and David Joan Jones who came back.

  The two people also greeted them, and welcomed the two big men from the United States stationed in Korea.

  Wait until smiling Walter Sharp and Leon Laporte get close enough.

   Li Zaixi noticed that Abel also stood up for the first time, passed Li Xinyu, walked out of the seat, and took two or three steps.

He shook hands with Leon Laporte, who came up to him, "Ha, Mr. Laporte? I saw your picture. I was so surprised to hear that you were coming. Your work is so busy, I'm so sorry to bother you!"

  Leon Laporte has a typical Anza look, with rough skin, blond hair, and iconic inverted triangular eye sockets.

   Looks a little younger than Walter Sharp.

  Looking about 50 or so, Leon Laporte laughed and said:

   "It's not very busy. There is still time to see Mr. Smith."

   "That should be me going to meet you in the barracks." Abel said with a smile.

   "It doesn't make any difference. I'm close too. It's all the same."

  Lion Laporte looks approachable, more like a businessman than a general, and his cheerful appearance is very kind and rich.

  Those who don’t know the special national conditions of the United States will be surprised to see him like this.

   After all, Leon Laporte is also a 4-star general, a leader of the US military.

  A military leader, but he treats the top domestic businessmen like this, which makes many people outside the United States very puzzled.

   But in the United States, Leon Laporte's reaction is considered normal.

  In this, except for some reasons that Abel has hooked up with the Texas consortium and will soon become one of the important members of the military-industrial complex.

   Also because of American characteristics, or the revolving door system with European and American characteristics.

  Not to mention a four-star general, even a five-star general will retire.

  With the longevity medical technology developed in the United States, the generals who are superior to others can live a long life after retirement.

  Most of the generals also have many offspring, or relatives and friends, who need to live a good life.

   Then what should we do?

   Of course, when the generals were in office, they had a good relationship with people like Abel and became "good friends."

   This allows the generals to help out in the company of "good friends" after retirement.

   This is easy to understand, right?

   Or the relatives and friends of the generals, when they need to work or need some financial help.

   If the general himself can do nothing, then these "good friends" can help them again.

   Over time, which American general would not want to be good friends with big businessmen and capitalists?

  Anyway, regardless of national conditions or laws, this is allowed and has no restrictions.

  This kind of thing has low risk and many benefits.

   Then what is there to be afraid of?

  After exchanging warm greetings with Abel, Leon Laporte finally seemed to be beside him, seeing Li Zaixi whom he also knew.

   "Ah, Jerry, are you here too?!"

   Leon Laporte called out Li Zaixi's English name, and he said with a "surprised" smile.

  Li Zaixi nodded quickly, the smile on his face was much more sincere and touching than when he was facing Commander Han.

   "Ah, yes. Mr. Laporte, yes, I'm here. Oh, I'm here for breakfast and to see my daughter."

  Li Zaixi carried out Li Fuzhen who was standing beside Abel, who looked like a little woman.

  It was only now that Li Zaixi really realized what the name Abel Smith meant to Americans.

  To be honest, before this, Li Zaixi's impression of Abel was just data and intelligence on paper.

  Li Zaixi knew that Abel was very good.

  But he didn't expect that Abel would be so powerful.

  Lion Laporte, the owner of Lian Han Guoqing's house, has always been indifferent.

   But facing Abel, Leon Laporte had this attitude.

  Li Zaixi finally knew about Abel's influence in the United States.

  The old man is already a bit regretful now, regretting the trick he played just now.

   It seems that Abel has already seen it just now, otherwise it would not be that kind of reaction.

  At this moment, Li Zaixi hasn't come up with a good solution yet.

   I saw the two daughters again, standing beside Abel with a submissive look.

   Li Zaixi took his heart into consideration, and directly directed his ideas to his two daughters.

  He directly said that he came to see his daughter Li Fuzhen, not to prevent Abel from taking the Li family property.

   "Oh." Leon Laporte looked at Li Fuzhen.

  The general noticed that Li Zaixi's daughter had a big and round belly.

   Leon Laporte also thought of some rumors about Abel Smith in the United States.

  Lion Laporte understood immediately, and said with a smile: "I see. But..."

  The invisible Supreme Emperor of Han Kingdom suddenly changed the topic——

   "Ms. Anna Li is a good friend of Walter and me. But I heard that she was attacked yesterday morning. A group of gangsters hit her car and threw acid on her."

   Leon Laporte looked at Li Zaixi:

   "Jerry, this is your daughter. You are a big shot in Han Country anyway, how do you do it?"

   "If it weren't for the place where Ms. Anna Li had an accident. There happened to be two members of our SEALs who happened to pass by during vacation and acted bravely. Then things would be troublesome!"

  A Word by Leon Laporte

  Let everyone present understand the level of speech and work of the 4-star generals in the United States.

  High, that is called a high.

  Even Abel was in his heart and couldn't help but give Leon Laporte a compliment.

  This four-star general is too sensitive and quick to respond.

  With these few words, he directly helped Abel and settled the biggest trouble on Abel's side.

  The SEALs who passed by, were on vacation, met by chance, and returned Faxet’s bravery...

  Where do Han people go to reason?

   At most, it can only be said that the members of the "Seal Commando" who act bravely are a bit too much.

  Abel could not help laughing and said:

"Yes, Mr. Laporte, you have insight! This matter is actually as simple as that. Those nasty gangsters, I heard that they are the so-called violent generation on Han's side? Oh, they are the gangsters on our American side. Then they are even worse."

   Didn’t say much all the time, the commander-in-chief, Walter Sharp, who made the background board, interjected at this time:

   "But in the United States, gangsters dare not attack high-class people. I didn't expect gangsters on Han's side to even dare to attack Mr. Li's daughter. I won't be surprised that they will attack our barracks next time."

   Li Zaixi was so overwhelmed by the words of these three Americans that he was speechless.

   But at this moment, Han Guo's economic leader also knew the attitude of Walter Sharp and Leon Laporte.

   That was Han Guo's invisible overlord, and they stood behind Abel Smith without hesitation.

   This is no solution for Han people.

  Even if the owner of the Green House is the same, unless there is a call from the north...

   Must also be able to win.

  Thinking of this, he was able to abolish his brothers and seize power in the Samsung Group.

  As the youngest son of the Li family, Li Zaixi, who has become the head of the Li family, is not a good person.

  At least when facing Han people, Li Zaixi's waist is tougher than any Han people.

   Li Zaixi immediately stated:

   "Mr. Laporte, Mr. Sharp, Mr. Smith."

   "You are right, this matter cannot be counted as it is. I must find out Fuzhen, and I will avenge her!"

   "Please rest assured, this is a father's promise!"

   When saying these words, the chairman of the Samsung Group spoke firmly.

  Looking at Li Fuzhen, his eyes were also full of love.

  It looks like a man who loves his daughter, loves his family, and protects his family wholeheartedly.

   But obviously his daughter has been attacked for more than 24 hours.

  If it weren't for the stance of a few Americans today.

  He hasn't even expressed condolences to his daughter until now.

   Such a person, is he really a good father?

  From the beginning to the end, Li Xinyu saw his father's change beside him.

   At this moment, she has such doubts in her heart.
