America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 438 Smith's trip to Hong Kong Island

  The Peninsula Hotel stands at 22 Salisbury Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Kowloon, facing Victoria Harbour.

  It is the oldest existing hotel on Hong Kong Island, and it is also one of the most luxurious and famous hotels on Hong Kong Island and even in the world.

  Peninsula Hotel entrance, get off the Cadillac monster car.

  Abel looked at the bustling scene around him.

  His attention was drawn to those who were separated from the rock security staff, hotel bodyguards, and Hong Kong police officers in the distance, and those people from Hong Kong Island who were of the same species as himself were attracted.

   This is the first time Abel has set foot on this land since his rebirth.

  Even if the land he is standing on is actually Hong Kong Island.

   There is still a short distance from his true spiritual hometown.

   But after all, they belong to the same piece of land.

  This caused the richest man in the world, Abel Smith, a big capitalist from the United States, to have a strange feeling in his heart.

  This feeling is indescribable, it contains memories, nostalgia, and kindness.

  But there are also vigilance and alienation after changing identities and positions.

  Imagine that hundreds of kilometers away is the former home of my soul.

  Abel had the urge to visit and see for himself.

  But he knew that if he made such a move now.

   Whether it is the United States or this country.

   Countless people will have doubts and too many unnecessary things will happen.

   Besides, to be honest, as his wealth, power, and status change.

  The former Chinese attributes have gradually left him.

  He is now a real American, a big capitalist.

   Swiping away the last sense of strangeness in his heart, Abel smiled very skillfully, raised his hand and waved to the large crowd in the distance.

   There, he saw a large group of local reporters surrounded by rock security staff, but able to take pictures.

  The scene of him waving his hand was instantly captured by the reporters.

  The reporters are very excited. They feel that today, tomorrow, or even in the next few days, the big news on Hong Kong Island and the Chinese circle will be settled.

  Withdrawing his hand, Abel was smiling all over his face. Accompanied by the owner of The Peninsula Hotel, Michael Gadori, he walked towards the hotel gate where the red carpet had been spread to the door.

  Thanks to the advancement of modern flight and aviation technology.

   Four and a half hours ago.

  Abel was still at Incheon International Airport in Hankook, bidding farewell to Li Fuzhen.

   Three and a half hours later, the Boeing 747 sent him to No. 1 Cheung Tin Road, Chek Lap Kok, Lantau Island, an outlying island district of Hong Kong Island, which is Lantau Airport.

   Another hour or so later, Abel came here.

   Today is the time of the Chinese Imperial Capital, the morning of March 25, 2002.

  Abel stayed in Han Country for almost 5 days, and stayed with Li Fuzhen for 4 days.

   During most of the time, he accompanied the eldest princess of the Samsvng Group and handled her work in Seoul.

  Accompanies her to meet people big and small in the Seoul area.

   Mainly those prosecutors from the Prosecutor Kingdom, and some American personnel stationed in the country.

   It is to help her to apply a thick layer of Smith BUFF on her body.

  The comprador attributes of Princess Li, the head of the Samsvng Group, can be described as extreme.

  Let the entire Han country, no, it should be said that the entire Asian region, know that Li Zaixi's daughter is not only the princess of Li's parents.

  She is also the richest man in the world and the biggest spokesperson for Han country.

   Guarantee that she is at least in Han country, and no one dares to mess with her.

  And in his spare time in Seoul, he spent playing with various "prey" brought to him by the sensible and pregnant lioness.

   Not just Kim Tae Hee and the others.

  See Abel later, interested in this aspect.

  A few words from Li Fuzhen, she will not be some Hallyu female artist of Forging Entertainment.

   It was also sent to the Lion King for him to choose.

  Inside the list of these "prey".

  With the history of Hallyu, it can be called Yoo Jin in the S·E·S group of Yuanzu girl group.

  There are also 4 members of the Fin.K.L team who took over, including Lee Hyori, Ok Joo Hyun, Sung Yuri, and Lee Jin.

   There are also people who speak loudly, and Lee Jung Hyun, who is particularly good at fan dancing, and so on.

   All in all, Abel had a great time.

  Even though many of them, he didn't know each other.

  After all, during his growth period, the Hallyu impressed him the most, except for Kim Tae Hee and others.

   It is the group of brilliant girl groups in the era of Da Yuetui...

   It's just that they are still very young at this time, and they can't play even if they want to.

  So in fact, he only had some impressions of Li Zhenxian, who was naked, blushing, and had a trembling voice, who gave him a fan dance.

   Fortunately, he didn't think about collecting these "prey", so it didn't matter.

  Having almost stayed in Han Country, he originally planned to fly directly to Paris, France.

  Only later on the map, Abel looked at the country not far from Han.

  The picture of the rooster that I am familiar with, but now is very strange.

  He was in a daze for a long time.

   Abel, who had a fit of feelings, finally decided to satisfy his "homesickness" that was about to dissipate.

   Fortunately, Abel also knows that if he goes to the mainland by himself, the impact may be great.

  Because there may be too many battles over there. After all, compared with Bill Gates and others, his political attributes are too strong.

  Plus that happened last year.

   On the mainland side, the hostility towards Americans is at its deepest.

  He has no interest in making things unhappy.

  So he just made excuses and said he was passing by. Before going to Rebirth, he had never been to Hong Kong Island to see.

   It can also be regarded as comforting my Chinese soul.

   This is how he is now, appearing at the entrance of the Peninsula Hotel in Hong Kong Island.

  Abel has already planned.

  Since even Hong Kong Island is here, let’s just do a round-the-world business flight.

  Stay in Hong Kong Island for a few days, and then go to Southeast Asia.

  Fly to the third brother again, go to the desert area again, and then arrive in Europe.

  Finally return to the United States.

  The entire trip took about two months.

  Two months later, Li Fuzhen, Ikana and the others should all have given birth to their children.

  At that time, it was almost time for Smith Media to go through all the procedures and start listing in New York.

   Then return to the United States.

   And during this time, I will treat it as my own travel and relax, and see if there are any prey that can be hunted on the road.

  The "prey" here does not only refer to beautiful women like Kim Tae Hee and the others.

   It's the 21st century. In terms of economy and commerce, the entire Southeast Asia and the third brother also have a lot of "prey".

  Although Abel is mainly based in the United States, it has always been the habit of American consortiums to go hunting.

  He is now the boss of the Texas consortium, and it is only natural for him to go out and find some business for the consortium.

  The European business trip he originally planned has become the current global business trip.

   "...Mr. Smith, walk this way, be careful of the steps, your arrival really makes the Peninsula Hotel shine!"

  Can speak super fluent Cantonese, and his thinking is mixed with Chinese and foreign, but in fact English is better.

  He tried to use English as much as possible, and conveyed the Chinese welcome thought he wanted to express to Abel.

  Abel's Chinese is actually very good, after all...that was his mother tongue.

   He can even speak Cantonese, because he used to be a foodie...

  At this moment, looking at Michael Jiadou, describing the scene in Chinese in English, he has no intention of expressing his Chinese.

  Abel just continued to speak English with a smile on his face, talking with the head of the Jiadori family in Hong Kong Island.

   "I've heard of the Peninsula Hotel's reputation even in New York. I've stayed at 700 Fifth Avenue, 55th Street, Manhattan, twice."

  Abel said with a smile.

   "Haha—this makes me feel very honored! Sir, really, I really feel so." Michael Gadley said happily.

  The address that Abel just mentioned is the address of The Peninsula Hotel in New York.

  Peninsula Hotel belongs to Hong Kong Island Hotel Group.

  Its banner is not limited to the Peninsula Hotel on Hong Kong Island.

  In many big cities around the world, the Peninsula Hotel has its own branches.

  Although the Jiadori family is based on Hong Kong Island and has an excellent relationship with the north, it is also very Sino-oriented, or Hong Kong-oriented.

  Dan Jiadao's family is essentially a British oilman family, deeply involved with the West, and is one of the princes in the oilman camp.

  The arrival of the world's richest man, a super capitalist, and an American consortium boss.

   Has a good relationship with the base camp of the American Oilers. For the Jiadori family that developed on Hong Kong Island, it is a big boss coming from their hometown.

  Michael Gadori naturally attached great importance to it, and showed an extremely welcoming attitude.

   Accompanied by Michael Gadori throughout the process.

   Abel chatted with him and stayed in this iconic luxury hotel on Hong Kong Island.

   For this reason, Michael Gadori even emptied the guests in the central wing of the Peninsula Hotel, the guest rooms on the top 6 floors.

  He gave all the six floors to Abel for the residence and office of Abel's accompanying team.

   After deciding to turn European business trips into global business trips.

  Smith Intelligence Group made a new plan overnight and sent more targeted staff.

   To meet the needs of Abel's global business travel.

  The rock security side also adjusted their work to ensure Abel's safety in the next two months.

  Not to mention those who will follow up, but Abel's personal security personnel and assistants, the number has reached more than 200.

  So many people will live beside Abel.

  Peninsula Hotel has cleared so many layers, but it is just enough to use.

  Michael Gardner himself, until he sent Abel to the room that was ready to be cleaned up overnight, and was once used by former US President Richard Nixon, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth and other big figures.

  Michael Cadori left with a smile on his face.

   "...Well, honey, I've arrived. I'm in the best hotel on Hong Kong Island right now."

   "What? Don't worry about George, my trip is purely for business. If you do that kind of thing for George, then come here again next time, and these countries will be very wary of me."

   "Okay. You're right. Even if I didn't do anything, with my identity and relationship with the bushes, they would still think that my appearance came with a mission..."

  Holding a dedicated satellite phone after going abroad.

  Abel is on the phone with little Laura in New York.

   On the phone, said little Laura.

  Her uncle hopes that Abel will help the white house with some things during this trip.

  Abel refused at first, but little Laura convinced him.

  Because he knew, with his relationship with the bush family.

   When you appear in other countries.

   I insist that I have no political purpose in me.

  That is simply impossible for those countries that are wary of the United States.

   In this regard, no matter who, as long as they are Americans, there is almost no exception...

  This is the whole world, those sober countries, sober understanding.

   Anyway, whether you do it or not will be suspected.

  Then he might as well help out with something.

   But he asked himself to have the initiative.

   It also requires a certain degree of control over personnel related to ClA.

   But there is no need to tell little Laura about these requirements.

   Later, George should call in person. At that time, Abel decided that he should ask George again.

   After chatting with Little Laura for a few more love words, Abel hung up the phone.

  Throwing the satellite phone to David Jones next to him, Abel walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows facing Victoria Bay.

  Victoria Harbor in the daytime, blue sky, white clouds, wide water surface, large and small ships shuttle back and forth, tall buildings on both sides of the river, the scenery is pleasant.

  It still looks very beautiful.

  And this is the Victorian seascape that makes countless Hong Kong people proud, and now makes countless mainlanders yearn for it.

  In Abel's eyes, he felt very ordinary.

  This kind of scenery, Hudson Bay in Manhattan, the banks of the East River, and the banks of the Thames River in London, Abel has long been tired of seeing.

   At this time, the Peninsula Hotel was rarely open to the public, and was only used for special occasions. The door of the largest suite was suddenly opened.

  Abel's bodyguard captain, Edward, walked in from the outside.

   In his hand, he was still holding a relatively thin file bag.

  David, who was standing beside Abel, immediately lowered his head and said, "Boss, Edward is back."

  Abel heard the words and withdrew his gaze from the Victoria Harbor outside the floor-to-ceiling windows.

  Turn around and look at Edward who is coming.

  At this time, neither Edward nor David knew that despite the seemingly calm look on Abel's face, he was actually very fluctuating at the moment.

  If someone were to stick to his chest at this time, you would hear Abel's heart beating even faster.

   "Report to the boss, the task has been completed."

  Edward walked up to Abel and said softly.

  Abel nodded expressionlessly, motioning for Edward to report.

   "We didn't find the person you were looking for, and we even used a little bit of CIA's intelligence system for this. There is no such person in the place you mentioned. The specific situation is all here."

  Edward handed over the thin document bag.

   Without Abel's instructions, David has consciously taken over.

  The butler of the Smith family directly opened the file bag and took out the paper inside.

   Then he took out an instrument from his pocket and scanned the document.

   In the end he even sniffed the paper with his own nose.

   It took a minute or so to check.

   After confirming that it was safe, David handed the document to Abel respectfully.

  Abel seemed to take it calmly, but actually he was a little nervous and quickly browsed and read silently.

  There were only a few sheets of paper, but Abel spent more than ten minutes reading them over and over again.

   After watching, David and Edward let out a long breath when they saw their boss.

   There was a relaxed expression of disappointment on his face, as if he had let go of the big stone in his heart.

   "Then let's call it a day."

  Abel gave the document to David, "seal this matter as a secret of the Rock Security Special Department."

   "Understood..." Edward nodded and took the document from David, and heard the boss say to the two of them:

   "That's it, I'm a little tired after sitting on the plane for a long time. You go out first, and I will stand here by myself for a while."

  David and Edward, after hearing what Abel said, they couldn't help but look at each other.

tired?

The word   , and this kind of thing, rarely appear on the boss.

   I don’t know why the boss asked the special department of Rock Security to investigate such an insignificant village in a small place in China...

   Unable to figure it out, David and Edward bowed respectfully and gave up the space in the living room to their boss.

   Abel, who was alone, stared at Victoria in a daze in front of him.

  This kind of expression and manner has been very rare since his rebirth.

  …

  …

  When Abraham was alone in a daze.

  He didn't know that since the beginning of the 21st century, the elite class on Hong Kong Island has gradually calmed down.

  But because of his arrival, the inside immediately boiled up.

   "Thirty years ago, David Rockefeller came to Hong Kong Island for a visit. Thirty years later, a new American consortium boss came to our Hong Kong Island."

  Hong Kong Island, Barker Road, Victoria Peak.

  The home of Li Ji, known as one of the Four Great Masters on Hong Kong Island.

  Li Ji himself, facing Li Cucumber, Zheng Tong, and Guo Sheng in front of him, talked eloquently:

   "I find it inconceivable that the officer hasn't visited the Peninsula Hotel yet."

   "It is not before 1997. And he is American, not British..." Guo Sheng continued:

   "Compared to these, I'm actually curious about what this crocodile wants to do when he comes to Hong Kong Island? Is there anything in this small place that this big crocodile has taken a fancy to?"

   "His spokesman announced that he came to Hong Kong mainly for tourism and leisure..." Zheng Tong continued.

"Tsk... I don't really believe it. Such a busy person is still a consortium boss. He has just won power. At this time, he is not in the United States to stabilize power and come to our Hong Kong Island for tourism? Do you believe it? I really don't know. Letter." Li Ji shook his head and said.

  Looking at Li Ji's performance, Zheng Tong looked at Li Cucumber, who was sitting next to Guo Sheng and kept silent.

   "Ah Cheng, we haven't met for a long time. It's rare that we get together because of this ghost. You can't do without talking."

  Zheng Tong knows that there are two Lis in Sisi, and the relationship between them has become worse and worse in the past 10 years.

   Discussing matters at Li Ji's house, Cucumber Li may be in a bad mood.

  So Zheng Tong took the initiative to ask.

"What else can I say?" Li Cucumber smiled and waved his hands, "I think, the arrival of this ghost. In fact, Beifang and the officer may be more nervous than us. Tsk tsk, they can live in the white house directly." Ghost, he is still the richest man in the world. I guess someone from the north must be coming now..."

  Hearing what Li Cucumber said, Guo Sheng slapped his palm.

   "Yes. Acheng, you are more familiar with the north." Guo Sheng suddenly realized:

   "We have nothing to be nervous about, and we have nothing to be in a hurry. Now it's not like before. The sky is falling and there are tall people standing on it, so what are we afraid of!"

  When Li Ji and Guo Sheng heard this, they immediately felt that what Cucumber said made sense.

  Li Ji couldn't help but sigh in his heart, feeling that there was a reason why he was being overwhelmed by cucumbers all the time.

   Like the key here, he didn't think of it for a while.

   But Cucumber caught the point right away.

   Fourth Uncle Li had no choice but to say softly: "Then...wait and see what happens?"

   "It's best to wait and see what happens." Cucumber took the initiative:

   "But during this period of time, we need to keep in touch more. In case something happens, it's always good to advance and retreat together. After all, it's a big crocodile from outside. No, it's not a big crocodile anymore, it's a big shark!"

  Others also nodded, agreeing with his opinion.

   439 is harmonious, the review has not passed, and it will take two days to re-review... So I posted two chapters today, blame the review...
