America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 397 A pair as black as an abyss

"…how do you feel?"

   On the 'Mighty Donkey', in the largest living room of the yacht.

  Richard Gephardt next to Coryton, said to him softly.

  I saw Coryton holding a glass of red wine in his hand, covering his sight with the red wine and the glass.

  His pair of divine eyes looked at Abel Smith, who was leading Jessica in the distance, talking and laughing happily with others.

  "A very smart. Full of energy. An incredibly calm young man. Considering his financial ability, it's no wonder he can make such a result."

  Collidon said softly, there were only a few people around him at this time.

  His wife Hinari, Richard Gephardt, Delin Schultz, and two other donkey gangsters.

  Derlin Schulz said: "The value of wooing is extremely high. It's just a pity that the smell of elephants on him is too strong."

"Believe me."

   Among a group of men, Hinari's voice was a bit abrupt, but none of them showed anything special.

   Apparently among them, Hinari often does this.

  She said: "I think this young man is definitely not a simple person who only looks at the position. Interests, only interests are eternal."

   "Ms. Hinari, what you said makes a lot of sense."

   And Abel contacted Richard Gephardt, the earliest donkey gangster, and agreed with Hinari's statement:

   "I think so too. I think it's just whether the benefits are big enough."

  Collidon looked at the other people in the circle, "What do you think? I also somewhat agree with Xinari."

   Most of the people nodded silently, Jerry Brown held back, and then said softly:

"Then even if we want to do it. Can we do it? What we have to pay is definitely 10 times and a hundred times what the gang of elephants paid, and we may get the same level of feedback from him. The problem is that if we do this, other people who support us What do you think, what do you think."

   "What Jerry said is also a question that has to be considered..."

  Corridon said: "The degree in the middle is really difficult to measure."

   "I think we can start from several places." Hinari said softly.

   "Huh?" Coryton looked at his wife.

  His wife, since she was young, has not been a woman willing to be lonely.

  Gong Yu, Xinari has fully supported him since he started this path.

  Many times, he gives no less help in strategy than his staff and consultants.

   Probably even better.

  She also perfectly played the role of different ladies that Coryton needed in various periods, and no one played it better than Hinari.

  Private... Well, people who take this path are people who both husband and wife are particularly interested in. Feelings... Hehe.

  The two have been playing their own games since a long time ago.

   It’s just that they are open to each other, and they will do their best to cover each other, and sometimes even play together... This is not a secret in their circle.

   And Hinari's independence began after Coryton retired.

  Collidon knew that the current self was the support.

  The wife is the core in front of the stage.

   "We are very willing to hear your opinion, my dear." Coryton smiled.

  Hinari said: "Okay. Then I will talk about it."

  Several people around made a gesture of asking for permission.

  Hinari started her small internal speech.

   On Abel's side, he took Jessica and was talking with Sumner Redstone, the founder and chairman of Viacom Group.

  Viacom Group is one of the large media groups in the United States.

  In terms of scale and revenue, it is much stronger than the current Smith Media.

  It owns Viacom TV Group, which has 39 local TV stations, Paramount TV Group, which has produced more than 55,000 hours of programs, and Paramount Film Company, which was established in 1912.

   There is also the MTV music television network, which has great influence in the American music industry.

  It is also CBS, which has more than 200 affiliated stations, which is the original three major public television networks in the United States and is now one of the four major wireless television networks.

  In the United States, this old man is a slightly stronger media tycoon than Murdoch.

   Oh, this is also an oil.

   is an oil man, and his attitude towards Abel will not be too bad now.

  The same goes for Sumner Redstone, who is also friends with Bloomberg.

  Although this is the first time meeting Abel today, it is still on this occasion. Sumner Redstone was very enthusiastic.

   "Viacom would be more than happy to partner with Smith Media!"

  clang—

  Sumner Redstone held a wine glass and bumped lightly with Abel's.

   "Time Warner and Disney are horrible. I think if we join forces, we can overthrow them! Mr. Smith, are you interested in working together?"

   "Sure, why not?"

  Abel smiled like a courtesan, and his fake smile appeared more and more on his face.

  This proves that his skills in this area have become more and more mature.

   "Compared to Time Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, News Corporation, Clear Channel Group, Smith Media is just a small guy. We can cooperate with a big guy, of course we are happy."

   "Oh, that's great. That's the best news I've heard from the many times I've been a guest at Mighty Donkey."

  Sumner Redstone smiled happily, as if he really wanted to work with Abel.

   "Who says no. Me too..."

  Abel continued to talk to Sumner Redstone with a courtesan smile.

   Jessica next to her just felt dizzy.

  She couldn't help but carefully looked around, through the conversation between Abel and Sumner Redstone just now.

  She already knew who the old guys were around the small circle.

   Closer first, Sumner Redstone! The chairman of Viacom Group, the overlord of Paramount!

   Stomp stomp, a character who would shock Hollywood!

  Those who are not even qualified to come here to talk to Abel and Sumner Redstone are Michael Eisner, Chad Parsons and the like!

  Compared with Sumner Redstone, they just lack enough shares, not big bosses.

   But the authority and power in the entertainment industry or Hollywood, none of them are much worse than Sumner Redstone.

   Such a person, if he appeared at any party in Beverly Hills, he would be wildly pursued by all the attendees.

  In the eyes of ordinary people, the most radiant star.

   In front of these people, it's like a brainless fan facing a Uranus superstar.

  Here, each of them is like the most ordinary ordinary people, each of them looks so friendly and friendly.

   It was the first time to participate in a reception of this level and grade, even if Abel was by his side, even Jessica knew that her boyfriend was a giant with a higher status than these people.

  But her own insufficiency still made Jessica feel a little inferior, even cringe.

  This is unavoidable. It comes from the concept of class, which suppresses her mentally.

   Jessica seemed to feel that it was difficult for her to even breathe.

   Just when she heard Sumner Redstone chatting with Abel.

  I heard Sumner Redstone say that Paramount is interested in the Cameron super project led by MGM, and is willing to share part of the investment, or undertake part of the publicity and production work.

  Abel is also happy to say that both parties can try to cooperate on these projects.

  Jessica noticed that there were several people coming this way.

   There are men and women, and there are more women, and they are all very old. The one at the head is even Jessica's former idol, the former first lady of the United States, Shinari.

   "Hi! Dear Sam ~ Oh, and Abel, what are you talking about? Hope we didn't get in your way..."

  Hinari, who came over, said with a smile.

   Sumner Redstone and Abel stopped their original conversation.

   Sumner Redstone didn't react too much when he heard Hinari calling him by his nickname.

   The two obviously have a good relationship and are old friends.

   "Oh~ I'm discussing the cooperation between Viacom Group and Smith Group with Mr. Smith!"

  Sumner Redstone smiled.

   "Oh~ That must be a very powerful cooperation. Viacom Group, plus Smith Media! Other American media companies will be nervous."

  Hinari's tone was exaggerated, and she seemed to be joking.

  Abel smiled slightly, but did not answer.

  To be honest, Abel admires Coryton a little. But at the same time, he was also very afraid of the couple.

  Before he was reborn, as a foreigner outside the United States, he knew nothing about the United States except Apple, Google, Hollywood and the NBA.

  Before his rebirth, he heard the anecdotes, scandals or gossip about Zhengzhi here.

   There are some rumors about the famous "Corlyton's Shroud", "Collyton's Death List".

  From the perspective of conspiracy theory, this rumor has its nose and eyes.

  Some good things, but not afraid of trouble, the American media compiled this list around 2016.

  The deaths of more than fifty of the better known Americans have been implicated in this eerie list.

  These more than 50 people have one thing in common, that is, they were all politically involved, more or less affected the Coryton family, and then died inexplicably.

   At the beginning, it was James McDowell, an important witness related to the "Whitewater case".

  This witness died suddenly of a heart attack during the isolation review.

  The "Whitewater Case" refers to the Whitewater Development Company, which is 50% owned by Coryton, and has close contacts with a guarantee company suspected of deceit.

   And Hinari also used this guarantee company to illegally use money to support Coryton’s campaign.

  In the end, the Corytons were acquitted because of the death of an important witness. But such results are not convincing.

  After that, the former White House consultant Vincent, who was preparing to expose the "Whitewater case" again, and the US Secretary of Commerce Ron Brown, who publicly expressed his hope that the Corytons should bear legal responsibility for the "Whitewater case", died one after another.

  Vincent died mysteriously in the park, with an obvious gun hole in the back of his head, but was judged to have committed suicide by the local police, and the case was closed hastily.

  Well, he committed suicide by pointing a gun at the back of his head. It tasted like suicide with eight bullets in the back.

  Ron Brown can already be regarded as a high-ranking authority, the Secretary of the United States Department of Commerce.

  He died in a plane crash. But the autopsy showed that he also had a gun hole in his brain, but no one pursued it any further.

  Maybe this gentleman has the habit of playing with guns on the plane.

   Then when the plane crashed, he happened to be playing with a gun, and he accidentally pushed the trigger of the gun.

   Bizarrely, shortly after Brown's accident, the air traffic controller at the time committed suicide, and the cause of suicide is unknown.

  In November 1993, Ed Wiley, who raised campaign funds for Coryton, was shot dead and shot in the head on the day his wife publicly accused Coryton of sexually assaulting her, and was still ruled a suicide.

   Years later, White House intern Mary Magno was shot dead in a cafe just before exposing the same XXX thing Coryton did to her.

  Before Abel’s rebirth, in June 2016, American writer Mike Flynn first published an article exposing the inside story of the Coryton Foundation.

   Later, he boldly prepared to appear in court, proving that Coryton had done something to him.

  But the day before appearing in court, he mysteriously committed suicide at home.

   Over the years, many deceased persons who had relations with Coryton were "arranged" on this legendary "death list".

  This couple, the water is very deep.

  The heart is not as sunny as they show it, but the harshest darkness in America.

  For this kind of guy who likes to play eight shots in the back and commit suicide.

  Abel, who has always been the most concerned about his own safety, would be willing to get too close to him?

   Don't forget how A Tan hung up!

  Even if there are rocks for security, and the status is not comparable to those on the "Shroud of Coryton".

  But this couple became so crazy that even someone with the status of Ron Brown dared to do it.

  Abel believed that this really pushed the couple into a hurry, and they dared to do anything.

  Abel is not afraid of the couple, but he also doesn't want to mess with Mad Dog if there is no conflict of interest.

  Since it is a mad dog, he doesn't want to touch it, and it is even more impossible to get close to it.

   Then keep it at a respectful distance.

  If he had known that the Corytons were here in advance, Abel might not have come.

   Now it's time to come, but he doesn't want to get too involved with the other party.

  That's why he chatted just now. After the party started, Abel found an excuse to leave Coryton's circle.

   It’s just that Abel doesn’t want to get involved with the other party, it doesn’t mean that the other party will let him go, the favorite in the eyes of most high-level figures in the United States now!

  A rising core figure of the nascent consortium. If such a figure can be drawn into his own camp, who is likely to give up?

  Even if the difficulty is very high, it is not impossible to give it a try.

  Hinari came with such a purpose.

  Seeing that Abel is not very enthusiastic about herself, she doesn't feel blocked.

   Still thinking about continuing the conversation, but suddenly heard Jessica next to Abel yelping in pain.

"what-"

   "What's wrong?" Abel immediately asked concerned.

   Jessica's beautiful eyes were pitiful, and she looked at Abel pitifully, with grievance in her eyes.

  Abel blinked at her imperceptibly.

   Jessica was stunned.

  But she reacted very quickly. Under the watchful eyes of the big people around her, she said cautiously:

   "It's okay...just...the high heels are a bit high, twisted, and it hurts."

   "Oh, let me see."

   Then, under the watchful eyes of the big shots, Abel bent down his tall body and squatted down to check.
