America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 500 Get what you want

   There are a lot of people who want to participate in Smith Media's celebration.

  If Abel is willing, more than 90% of the rich people in the United States are willing to join him.

  But Abel controlled the scale of the banquet to around 300 people.

  Among the more than 300 people, except for more than 100 foreign guests.

  The remaining more than 200 people are all middle and high-level managers of Smith Media Group and various companies, as well as some employee representatives selected by lucky draw.

  In the guest list of more than 100 people, the names of Sirani and his wife appeared.

   Anyway, these two are the last first couple of the United States.

  The two took the initiative to express that they hoped to meet Abel and to participate in this banquet.

   Even in some aspects, the two sides have a hostile situation.

   But Abel still has to give this face after all, because he still has to consider other factors.

  So here comes Sirani and Zipperton.

  Now the couple are two, and Zidun is by Abel's side.

  Sirani, who has already "debuted", can only play the role of wife.

   Now she is actually one of the brightest rising stars in the American arena.

  In her current position, she is one of two U.S. senators from New York State and the first female U.S. senator in the state's history

   It is her former first lady, coupled with her status as a senator, that will flatter Charlize.

  Selani is talking to Charlize.

  Her husband, Zipperton, who has retired, is beside Abel, discussing some recent problems in New York City with Abel.

   "Some people just don't want good things to happen. They do all the bad things. They don't make good things happen."

  Zip and Abel, just now they talked about the recent construction worker parade in New York.

  He is expressing his opinion: "Faced with this situation, I think the federal judiciary should get involved in the investigation. No matter how bad it is, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office should also get involved. What do you think, Mr. Smith?"

  Abel listened to Zizi's speech with a smile, but he felt in his heart how sensitive the couple's sense of smell was.

   It is estimated that the two had just received the wind that they were going to fight against the two, and then the two came over immediately.

  Come here, and you will give up Vincennes and those members of the guild as soon as you open your mouth.

  This kind of decisiveness is worthy of being a couple who can make such a thing as a "zippered couple's death shroud".

   It’s no wonder that they have been in power for decades, and until Abel was reborn, he was still the second most prominent figure behind the scenes in the United States.

  Not to mention his background, this determination and ability are not something ordinary people can possess.

  Looking at Zipperton in front of him, to be honest, Abel is a little envious of David Rockefeller now.

  Why would he envy old David when he looked at Zipperton?

  The reason is very simple, because in their circle, there are rumors of "gossip" that William Jefferson, who was born in Arkansas, is the illegitimate son of the third generation patriarch of the Rockefeller family...

   There will be such gossip, of course there are reasons and evidence.

  Evidence 1, ordinary people have no way to find old David's childhood photos. But for their class, it is not difficult to see old David's childhood photos.

   Those photos of old David when he was a child, and some black and white childhood photos released by Zizi, can be said to be surprisingly similar in appearance.

  Evidence two, well, it’s actually evidence one. Not to mention childhood photos. Zipper, an adult, looks very similar to David.

  After David passed away, Zipper got old in his 60s. The two look more alike.

  Evidence three, before Zipper became the leader of the United States, all the points in his life were stuck, and the cards were too accurate. His life trajectory from childhood to adulthood shows strong signs of being arranged.

   Born in 1946, a single mother quickly found her stepfather. The stepfather and mother haven't given birth yet, so they can't be better for him, just like the housekeeper and servant.

  In 1963, at the age of 17, as a representative of outstanding youths in the United States, he visited the capital Washington DC.

   There were more than 100 representatives at the time, and the photo of him shaking hands with Kennedy was photographed, which was reported by newspapers all the time.

  In 1964, after graduating from high school, he was admitted to Georgetown University, where he majored in diplomacy, served as the president of the University Student Union, and assisted Federal Senator William Fulbright in his work.

  The Chairman of the University Student Union has nothing to say.

  But an eighteen or nineteen-year-old college student can assist the work of only 100 senators in the United States.

  Each senator is basically a prince of one side.

  He and William Fulbright were neither related nor related...

  Student assistant to the senator, this is probably unprecedented in the United States and even in the world.

  30 years old, served as Arkansas Attorney General.

  32 years old, became governor of Arkansas.

  At that time, the governor of Arkansas was not in the current four-year term and could only be re-elected once.

  At that time, the governor of Arkansas served only two years.

   Then he went on to win six consecutive terms and served six terms as governor of Arkansas for 12 years...

  And the reason he left Arkansas and stepped down as governor of Arkansas was not because he lost the election.

   In 1990, when he was only 44 years old, he was successfully elected as the chairman of the National Supreme Conference of the Donkey Party.

   Yes, the No. 1 figure in the Donkey Party.

  Two years later, at the age of 46, he easily defeated George's father and became the third youngest American general in history.

  In addition to Master Luo and Kennedy, he is the most outrageous in terms of the age of the generals of the United States.

   And those two can come to power at such a young age, there are special historical factors.

  There is no special historical factor in Zipperton. He is so smooth and smooth, as if everything has been arranged, and he can succeed in everything very easily.

  Including running for President of the United States…

   There are so many retired American leaders.

  Except for someone with the power of maga.

   There is no other Grand Commander who has the terror of his retirement.

  This is Zipperton, and this is why Abel envies David.

  Because of this gossip, it is likely not a gossip, but the truth.

  If it is the truth, it means that David's illegitimate son became one of the great leaders of the United States.

   Isn't this enviable enough?

  This is also the reason why Abel agreed without much consideration when the Zipper couple wanted to come to the banquet and compromise with him.

  He guessed that the old guy David probably had the intention of the two coming over tonight.

   Now that he has said so, Abel also smiled and said naturally:

"Well, I think Mr. Zipper is right. The demands of workers are very important, but as an employer, sometimes I have to consider whether what I see and hear is really the demands of workers. And It’s not the guys who take advantage of the workers, try to profit for themselves, and deliberately mislead the workers into making mistakes.”

  The zipper couple is so upbeat, and at the same time, Abel also has to consider the face of the old guy David.

  So as long as Zi Zidun breaks his "arms" and hand over those who helped him make trouble, then Abel is willing to let the past go.

   "Mr. Smith is really good." Zipper smiled: "I think so too."

  The tone of this matter was basically set after the two compromised with each other.

   And for those who work for Zipper, such as former lawyer Vincennes.

  The ending is a bit cruel and very desperate.

  The banquet was very successful and ended with a very festive atmosphere.

  June 22 will come soon.

   On this day, the front pages of newspapers across the United States were dominated by 'Smith Media Listing'. This should be the most breaking news in the United States in June 2002.

  As the largest newspaper of Smith Media itself, the "American Sun" uses four full pages to introduce in detail the process of Smith Media's listing, and the content is mainly thanks.

   Headings use bold, eye-catching fonts:

  【Thank you for this moment! Just like all of us are grateful to God! Customer is God! 】

  The photo on the front page is a group photo of the bell ringing when the board was listed, and the full text of Abel's speech is published below.

  The Wall Street Journal headline reads:

  【$100 billion! 】

  The editorial focuses on explaining the reasons for the rise of Smith Media's stock price, and the views mainly revolve around Abel.

   And finally said that it is very likely that after the newspaper is listed today, the market value of Smith Media will exceed 100 billion U.S. dollars, or even higher.

   It will not exceed this month at the latest, and the title is very eye-catching.

  But as always, the facts are presented and the data is very clear, which is in line with the consistent style of the media under the Dow Jones Group.

  The Washington Post, which has been acquired by Smith Media and is actually its own, has a very concise headline:

  【The world's number one media group! 】

  As the most serious newspaper in the United States, it is the real official media of the federal government.

  The "Washington Post" made a lot of hype about the listing of its parent company, and its sister newspaper "The American Sun" reported in completely different styles this time.

  The "American Sun", which was previously frivolous, has become serious.

  The previously serious "Washington Post" has become light and provocative.

  The completely different reporting styles make the audiences of these two newspapers a little strange and uncomfortable with each other, but they are very eye-catching.

  The "Los Angeles Times", which likes to speak ill of New Yorkers, finally spoke good words about New Yorkers this time.

  The headline of the "New York Post" is completely eye-catching.

  【The wealthy team of Smith Media! 】

  The contents of this newspaper are all related to internal shareholders and management. They drew a picture of shareholders in a unique way, and posted their big heads.

  【In this listing, investors and major shareholders are not counted, only company managers are counted. 】

  【Smith Media gave birth to 28 billionaires, 136 multi-millionaires, and 260 millionaires in one day. The last two numbers are relatively common, and the number of billionaires in the front is really rare among all listed companies in the United States. 】

  The list of the richest people listed by the "New York Post" has become the most sought-after information today, which directly caused the daily sales of this newspaper to soar by 42%.

  The newspaper office also received nearly 200 letters from lawyers that day, requesting them to immediately withdraw the news involving personal privacy.

  The management department of the "New York Post" was very troubled and dared not deal with it. They sent all the letters from lawyers and the reasons for the incident to the boss Murdoch.

  Murdoch went through the lawyer's letter in detail and found that there was no official letter from Smith Media, so he threw it into the trash can and let the "New York Post" continue to report the next day.

  After the public opinion spread, most Americans almost dropped their jaws in shock. The first sentence they chatted was similar words: The rich team of Smith Media listed by the New York Post has a high degree of credibility.

  After the news came out, for a month in a row, the threshold of the personnel department of Smith Media was almost broken, and there was an endless stream of job seekers.

   This is mainly because, in the past, similar companies went public and the news about employees and management getting rich was almost all Internet high-tech companies.

  In this new industry, the job hunting threshold is too high.

  Unlike the media industry, it has long been regarded as a traditional industry, and the barriers to entry are not so high.

  Even those who graduated from liberal arts and have some literary literacy and literary skills are expected to enter the work.

   What's more, the news of the sudden wealth of technology companies was all before the Nasdaq bubble burst.

  It is the first time that a company in the media industry has gone public.

   Naturally, it is more eye-catching than the news of those companies in Silicon Valley.

   What's more, the U.S. officials and Wall Street are also giving vague guidance.

   Guide this news, hoping to attract retail investors to stocks and boost the U.S. stock market that has been sluggish since last year.

  After Smith Media went public, Abel's life also underwent a small change.

   It's not that he's worth tens of billions more.

   After going through the celebration banquet that night, his girlfriends in Hollywood basically resigned to their fate.

   They have all met each other. From then on, he can travel among them openly and comfortably within them.

   Like now, it is already June 25th.

  Yesterday, the stock price of Smith Media broke through $100 for the first time, and its total market value reached an astonishing $101.5 billion.

  Abel is currently in a 5-story, 9-bedroom, 9-bathroom townhouse at No. 8 East 63rd Street on the Upper East Side of Manhattan.

  A few nights ago, the women who accompanied him as his female companion to the celebration banquet at Smith Media all lived here these days.

  In New York today, it was raining heavily. In the morning, the rain seemed to be pouring, and it hit the floor-to-ceiling windows with rattling noises.

  In the warm room, Abel was a little reluctant to get up.

  After rebirth, he became fond of fruit sleep. Because of his preference, so does the woman who spends the night with him.

  In this house, many women lived in these two days. Therefore, there is no need to face Abel's firepower alone.

  Scarlett, who was young and recovering well, was able to wake up early.

  She felt the intimate contact between her back and Abel's skin.

   Gradually, Scarlett's beautiful, delicate and white neck kept stretching forward, and her whole body arched like a shrimp.

   There was a trace of discomfort between the brows at first, but it was completely relaxed in an instant, and for a while, a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes were full of watery luster.

   He was rising and falling, and his breathing was also very short.

   "Strange, you haven't woken up today?"

  Townhouse, the second floor is spacious and beautiful, with a Rococo-style main living room.

   Cate Blanchett, with a big belly, asked curiously about Nicole Kidman, who had the same big belly next to her, but a little smaller than herself.

  Nicole knew what Kate meant.

  The Aries, whose skin was so white that his skin would glow, shrugged,

   "It seems to be in Johnson's room. That chick is so young that she can squeeze out water. She has also undergone beating training, has been exercising, and has an outrageous height difference. Of course she will be liked by him."

  After hearing Nicole's "guess", Kate pouted.

  She knew that Nicole was right. Scarlett's chick was almost half her age, and it was normal to attract men.

  "I've been staying here for the past two days. We're all like this, and we're not allowed to leave...It's outrageous." Nicole complained, "Aren't you afraid that we will be uncomfortable? And the only ones who want to get pregnant are Jessica and Anne."

"lets change a topic."

  Kate doesn't want to discuss this matter anymore, she cares more about her age than Nicole.

  Compared with those two who just turned 20 and less than 18, age is Kate's biggest disadvantage.

   "After giving birth, do you still plan to continue to be an actor?" Kate asked softly.

   "Why not?" Nicole replied, "Charlize may be about to have her second child now, hasn't she just picked up a "Devil"? I heard that I don't like being ugly."

   Kate was silent for a while.

  She actually doesn't want to continue to be an actress.

   Thinking about quitting Hollywood after giving birth to Abel. Because her motives for becoming an actor have now been satisfied.

  Better life, higher status. Then why do you have to work so hard to be an actor?

   And Nicole's current statement made Kate realize that leaving Hollywood prematurely does not seem to be a good thing.

  Seeing Kate's silent and tangled look, Nicole smiled.

   "Do you know why he likes us and why he likes us to bear his children?"

  Faced with this question, Kate hesitated, shook her head, then nodded again.

   "Haha... It seems that you know." Nicole said with a light smile:

   "Because we're beautiful? Part of it must be."

   "But there are many women, more beautiful than us, with better bodies. But they failed to get his favor."

   "So part of our attraction to him is because we're stars."

   "He likes to fatten us guys who look good in front of the camera and on the TV!"

"It's as simple as that, I've known it for a long time. So I'm not going to quit the showbiz unless he asks me to. That way, I think it should keep me attractive, and I won't be able to stop until I have enough kids. will decline so quickly."

  Nicole's words are very direct, even close to Chi Guoguo.

   There is another sentence that Nicole didn't say. That is, even if you want to stay in Hollywood, you have to abide by his rules.

  For example, you can't shoot intimate scenes, and even misplacement or doubles are not allowed.

   Otherwise, no one would dare to bear his anger.

  In fact, up to now, there are no directors or actors in Hollywood who dare to arrange them or shoot intimate scenes with them.

  Kate knew that there was a high probability that Nicole was right, and that was definitely the case.

"Why…"

   She sighed.

  In the bedroom.

  Abel grasped hard with both hands, with great strength, and locked Scarlett tightly in his arms.

   "Hoo..."

   After a while, he let out a long breath.

   "In this way, you should be able to complete the task, right?"

   Scarlett has no energy to answer.

  The physical strength she had saved after resting for so long was exhausted again.

  As for that **** task, she really didn't want to complete it.

  She is still young.

  However, it is estimated that it really has to be completed.

   Tired and about to fall asleep, this thought flashed through her mind.

   Then fell asleep again.

   There was a crunch.

   When Scarlett fell asleep from exhaustion, the door of the room opened.

  Charlize, who was wearing pajamas, walked in, looked at the mess in the room, and couldn't help shaking her head.

Then she looked directly at Abel with aggressive eyes, "I'd like to accompany you. But maybe I already have little Alia's sister or brother in my stomach. Secondly, your Wells Fargo bank's California The woman is here. I think you'd better go see her."

  Kayla is here?

   Then it is not good to continue to stay in the flowers.

  Abel stood up and looked at Jessica and Annie who were still sleeping soundly next to him.

  He felt that in the past few days, they should all be able to get what they wanted.

   "Okay. Time for me to get back to work, too."
