America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 156 The Duality of Elephants and Donkeys

Facing this circumstances.

There are actually many people on Wall Street who have had certain thoughts.

for example

Move someone to the laboratory and slice them piece by piece for study.

Doing so can relieve everyone of a hidden danger in the future.

At the same time, you can also understand the special features of this guy's body.

It would be great if something could really be researched.

Just by the time some people have this idea, someone has been on Wall Street for more than half a year.

At that time, he was already a billionaire.

He has appeared in the media many times and has been nicknamed the Wolf of Wall Street.

More importantly, someone does not come from a bankrupt family and rise out of the wilderness like Peter Lynch did.

On the contrary, someone's family situation is already considered very good.

Although in terms of money, there are too many people on Wall Street who can crush his family.

But on another level, their influence in Texas is no longer just a small shrimp.

Not quite a crocodile, but a big fish nonetheless.

And he has good relations with many predators.

More importantly, someone takes their own life very seriously.

He was followed by a bunch of bodyguards when he came in and out, and the car he was riding in had even been modified in various ways.

This means that it is difficult to catch someone without making a move.

If you want to catch him, there will be a lot of noise.

In this way, the rewards are not proportional to the risks.

This idea has never been carried out.

the most important is.

Although there is no trace of a certain person's investment, his investment style is the same as that of a gambler.

The profit was astonishing.

But he rarely did anything. Except for that Nasdaq bet, he had almost no tricks in the U.S. stock market.

Make money in international markets all the time.

This means that there is no serious conflict of interest among everyone.

The absence of a conflict of interest is the most important reason why no one chooses to take desperate risks.

Of course.

This is also the reason why someone acted very cautiously and had a fierce investment style at the beginning, but the scale was always kept within a small range.

By the time he was noticed by everyone, he had already emerged as one of the investment stars in the market.

This makes people even more jealous and has no choice but to take action.

Today, after experiencing an exaggerated public opinion storm deliberately guided by the authorities.

After that, no one wanted to use this method anymore.

Because if you really do it.

That is bound to cause a huge reaction, even international repercussions.

But the most important thing is so far.

Basically, this person has no real conflict of interest with the Wall Street giants.

He even had a good relationship, and the banks on Wall Street were happily earning interest and commissions from him.

This person is Abel Smith, who is standing in front of these conglomerate leaders on the east coast.

In the eyes of some people, this young man is somewhat arrogant and has an incredible investment style.

At this time, the general situation has become established, and it is already difficult to deal with it by means outside the market.

It’s not time to be pushed into a hurry yet.

That's why before.

The reason why these beings had ignored him and were now approaching him.

Since there is no way to simply eliminate him physically.

Then choose to try to win over him and let him become the second Peter Lynch.

This is the view of many people on Wall Street.

Reflected in reality, there is the incident of Abel appearing in front of people like David Rockefeller.

Facing Abel's answer, the old men didn't know how to react.

Abel also knew that his answer would leave these old guys speechless.

He thought for a while and then simply told the truth: "I should say it's intuition."

This is actually true.

His talent in this area is indeed no different from intuition.

There is no system, and there is no prompt information in front of me.

It’s just a feeling in the heart, a very metaphysical thing.

Just like his explosive physical fitness, there is no way to explain it scientifically.

But in this world, most of the time the truth cannot be believed.

With his answer, the old guys just thought he didn't want to explain.

They can only understand that Abel is actually as pure a talent as Peter Lynch.

It’s the “thickness” of Abel’s talent.

It may far exceed the stock angels of that year.

By this point in the conversation, this topic has basically been chatted to death.

The old guys are starting to look tired.

In this small circle, some old people are leaving one after another.

In the end, only four members of the Morgenthau family were left, as well as Abel.

"Robert." Abel looked at Robert Morgenthau, "Thank you very much for inviting me to the cocktail party tonight. But I have to say, I find it a bit boring."

Hearing what he said, the four members of the Morgenthal family were startled.

Is this kind of drinking party boring?

You must know among the participants of this cocktail party.

Anyone who walks out is a celebrity and their family members from the political and business circles on the entire east coast.

Each one has a strong influence in their respective fields.

It can be said that they are the elite of this country.

Especially the people Abel saw just now are the top figures in the pyramid.

Such a drinking party, a social party.

He said it was a bit boring.

This made Morgenthau a little dissatisfied.

Robert, who proposed to invite him, was a little depressed.

"Well, why do you say that?" The old man with a deep city had no choice but to ask.

Abel smiled:

"Because during the entire cocktail party, Paige didn't pay much attention to me, and she didn't even want to talk to me. But in fact, I came here just for her~"

This answer caused all four members of the Morgenthau family to fall into silence.

Raleigh Morgenthau: (_)

Rod Morgenthau: (_)

Robert Morgenthau:_

Robert's two brothers looked at him with this look.

Robert was helpless. He didn't expect that this kid would even dare to say such things in this situation, and he would have the nerve to say it.

Peggy on the other side was even more speechless and wanted to find a place to hide.

In front of the three most important elders in the family, Abel said and treated him like this.

She didn't know how to face the three elders!

"Haha~"

Morgenthau looked at him with different expressions, but overall he didn't have a good expression.

Abel laughed, "Sorry, I was joking. I was joking just now~ In fact, I am very satisfied with today's cocktail party. I am also very grateful to Paige. Don't look at me like this, I was really here just now joke."

His smile is obviously completely different from the four Morgenthau's.

Brothers Rhodes and Raleigh looked at Abel at this time.

They had a bison from Texas that broke into their valuable horse pen.

Among the purebred and precious horses, the Texas bison, which seems to have mad cow disease, runs rampant, teasing and provoking the feeling of being the leader of the herd.

At this moment, the two brothers had such a sense of sight.

They don't want to stay any longer.

Rod said directly to his brother Robert:

"Sorry. Robert, you will be the one to receive Mr. Smith. I'll go over there and see if Mr. Morgan and the others need anything."

Raleigh also said: "I'll go there too."

Robert wanted to say that he wanted to go there too.

However, his brothers smiled at Abel and left without waiting for his consent.

Now only Robert, Peggy, and Abel were left.

Looking at Robert with a dull expression, he looked like he wanted to complain but had nothing to complain about.

Abel said softly:

"Okay. Robert, I know you may be a little depressed now. But you need to know that for a period of time before this, I was as depressed as you are now because of you."

His voice was calm and low, matching his handsome appearance that was easy to impress.

Robert and Peggy both looked at him in a daze.

"That's right. I actually did it on purpose just now. Who told you to do that to Smith Capital in the first place?"

"I took revenge just now." He said with a smile.

"Haven't we already reconciled?!" Peggy, who had hardly spoken a word the whole night, said this to Abel for the first time tonight.

She actually wanted to say - I had a very hard time that day in order to reconcile with you!

"Not before. I am very stingy. But now that I see you are so depressed, I think it can be considered a reconciliation."

Abel said of course.

Peggy was so angry that he was speechless.

Robert, on the other hand, finally laughed softly.

"Okay." Robert said, "It was our fault before. So now the matter is considered even?"

"It's even." Abel nodded.

His look made Peggy angry again.

On the contrary, Robert was very open-minded.

Although I was a little depressed just now, it has improved now.

Robert smiled and said: "Then can we say some normal words next?"

Abel nodded.

Robert made a relieved expression, and the old man looked at Abel.

"So Abel, is it okay for me to call you this? You and Paige have become friends. And Paige is my most beloved granddaughter."

"Of course you can."

"Okay. Abel, have you read the note I gave you last time?"

"I've seen it. I must thank you for the reminder, Robert." Abel admitted frankly.

Robert nodded again. The old man lowered his voice and said at a level that only the three people present could hear:

"Then do you know who it is?"

"There is some speculation."

Abel looked at Robert: "Do you know who it is?"

Robert nodded in admission.

Abel immediately said: "Katherine Jones?"

Robert looked a little surprised, and the old man nodded quickly.

"Only one?"

"There is only one piece of information I have learned."

"But..." Robert said: "According to the latest news I learned, FBl is going to take back this eye. As for the reason, it has to do with the election. There is a high probability that your Texas guy will take office."

Today is already the 11th, and the general election has started four days ago.

The competition between the two candidates is fierce.

But by this time, the results can already be seen.

The market situation in 2000 can be said to be very intense.

At the beginning, the Donkey Party, with 267 electoral votes, was ahead of the Elephant Party, which received 246 votes.

But Florida still has 25 electoral votes.

These 25 votes will determine the real winner this year.

This instantly put Florida into the national spotlight.

Data shows that in Florida, the Donkey Party is only about 1,800 votes behind the Elephant Party.

Because the difference in the number of votes was too small, a recount was conducted in accordance with Florida law.

Subsequently, the BBC reported that technical problems with Florida's ballots attracted people's attention.

First of all, Florida uses "hanging hole ballots." If the holes are not completely punched, hole chips will remain, or even only punch marks will be left on the ballot, which requires manual verification again.

Secondly, Florida uses a "butterfly ballot" in which the candidates' names are arranged on both sides and the punching position is in the middle, which will also confuse local voters.

After a recount, Florida announced that the Elephant Party had narrowly won.

25 votes fell into the elephant family.

25+246 is more than 267.

However, the Donkey Party immediately requested a recount in some counties in Florida, citing technical problems with the ballots.

In order to consolidate its vote advantage, the Elephant Party held the election on November 11.

That is, today, a lawsuit was filed with the Federal District Court for the Southern District of Florida to stop the manual counting of votes, but it was rejected.

Now the two sides have opened up another battlefield, which is to use litigation to determine this year's victory.

This is very American. Aren’t the elite professions in America just lawyers and doctors?

On the surface, the Donkey Party still has a chance to win.

Because the lawsuit has not officially started yet.

But just a little wiser people.

Look up and see the attributes of those sitting in the Supreme Court.

You can understand that this year's victory has actually been decided.

After all, in this country, no matter what level of litigation.

As long as the stalemate persists, we will eventually go to the Supreme Court.

Whoever has the loudest voice in the Supreme Court will be the winner.

At present, the Elephant Party's voice is obviously louder.

The outcome is already determined.

Smart people know who will win this year.

So even though the situation is now at a stalemate, some smart people have already begun to make choices.

So

Born in Texas, he is the only son of the Smith family who is also a shareholder of the Rockets and the Texas Rangers.

He is also the famous creator of Smith Storm.

Even in the media.

There was also the derby between the Houston Astros and the Texas Rangers.

When the game ended, some media took photos of Abel Smith and Mr. Herbert leaving together.

There is no need for orders from above, someone in FBl will naturally make a smart decision.

This is how Abel knew that Fobol had an undercover agent by his side.

The reason why he was not worried.

Now I find that there is really no need to worry too much.

He just felt it was a pity.

Such a beautiful girl is actually an FBL agent.

He didn't even dare to make a move, and now he even ran away.

"Although I am not very worried about FBl's investigation of me. Because I am an aboveboard person and I have never been afraid of investigations."

Abel thanked Robert: "But I still have to thank you, Robert. You have good intentions after all, and I appreciate this kindness."

Even if you don't actually have this kindness, I won't be hurt.

But it’s just a matter of conversation, so there’s no harm in talking about it.

"By the way." Abel suddenly said: "Robert, I remember you are a donkey gangster, right?"

"Yes." Robert Morgenthau smiled: "65 years, older than any donkey."

"Then I am an elephant, and my whole family is an elephant~" Abel said with a smile.

"I don't have to explain it so clearly, right?" Robert smiled: "Donkey and Elephant, I think a smart person like you should understand."

"Hahaha~"

Abel laughed softly with him.

Donkeys and elephants are seemingly incompatible with water and fire.

In fact, the two can often be one in this country.

The typical example is King M.

In order to realize his dream, this man once jumped between elephants and donkeys.

In addition to the donkey and the elephant, he also jumped to the Reform Party, a third party.

Just a mess.

A similar famous figure, and one of Abel's friends, is Bloomberg.

In parallel space and time,

Bloomberg jumped from donkey to elephant next year.

In the future, when jumping from an elephant back to a donkey, pay attention to one jump.

As far as Abel knows, Bloomberg at this time.

In fact, I am already ready to change jobs.

Just after the New Year, it was announced.

The main thing is that in America, Elephants and Donkeys are more of an elite club.

As long as you agree with what this club stands for.

Even if you don't agree with it in your heart, you can apply to become a member of this club as long as you are willing.

This is how the elephant and the donkey rule the world in the United States.

It was later.

The donkey couldn't play anymore and started to break the rules.

after that,

I don’t know where this self-evident situation will develop.

But now in 2000.

When all of America has enough to eat.

Balance exists between the elephant and the donkey.

Very harmonious.

"Okay, okay." Robert smiled happily and gently rubbed his old face.

"I feel a little tired too, so I'm going to take a rest first."

He looked at Abel and his granddaughter: "You young people, have fun with yourselves."

At this moment, even Robert had to admit it.

I was attracted to Abel.

Of course.

It wasn't that he was tempted, but Robert felt that if Morgenthau, a giant in the east, could have an Austrian aid in the south.

At the same time, this target is still the words of Abel, a young man with an unlimited future.

Seems like a very good thing.

Although the old guy is reluctant to part with the apple of his eye, he still has to consider family interests.

Robert also knew what to choose.

The old man left quickly, leaving the two of them alone.

The atmosphere was a little quiet for a while.

Having said that, Abel actually has similar thoughts about Paige and Amanda.

That is, women from really wealthy families should not be offended.

The difference was that Hester had no grudges against him.

Morgenthau had a problem with him.

While in Los Angeles, he humiliated Paige a little.

Let Morgenthau make a little fool of himself in the media.

That was actually his revenge.

But this time, it has developed beyond now.

He had indeed reconciled with Morgenthau.

Then the motivation to continue teasing Peggy and the Morgenthau family would be lost.

After losing this motivation, she faced Peggy who was far superior to Amanda in terms of appearance, figure and knowledge.

He felt a little troubled.

It seems like her grandfather wants me to pick up his granddaughter?
