America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 218 Victims and Showdown

New York University is a private university founded in 1831 by Albert Gallatin, then Secretary of the Treasury.

It has about 45,000 students and mainly has two campuses.

They are the Manhattan campus and the Brooklyn campus.

It ranks among the top thirty universities in the United States.

New York University School of Law is ranked number one in the United States for tax law and international law.

In addition, New York University School of Law is also very strong in subjects involving financial law and business law.

This is the university that Anne Hathaway attended, but she majored in humanities and philosophy.

This part of the college is assigned to the Brooklyn campus.

Here on the Manhattan campus are the school's most important schools of law and economics..

The Manhattan campus basically takes Washingtontown Plaza as the heart of the school and radiates outward.

Because it is located in Manhattan, the core of New York, NYU students studying on the Manhattan campus.

There is no doubt that living expenses and food expenses will be more expensive than any university.

Laura Bush Lauren, in early March of this year.

With a letter of recommendation from White House, I successfully entered the Department of Economics at New York University.

On this day, Abel was wearing a coat, a scarf, sunglasses and a hat.

In the cool breeze of New York in mid-March.

Accompanying little Laura, I took a walk in New York University’s Washington Square.

Because it is located in Lower Manhattan, you can see the iconic Manhattan building of the Empire State Building when you look up.

The location is great.

The Manhattan campus of New York University is probably the smallest among the well-known universities in the United States.

The entire Washington Square may not be as big as many university stadiums.

It is a circular square with a small lawn in the middle and trees all around.

Just outside the door is Houston Street in Manhattan, and a few steps further is Broadway.

Just by its size, it is said to be a university, but in fact it is not even comparable to the size of many American high schools.

There is nothing we can do about this.

Who called it in a place like Manhattan?

"Do you feel small?"

Little Laura walked closely beside Abel, she smiled and said:

"I felt so small when I first came here! I originally wanted to go to Rice University. Our Rice University is much prettier and bigger than here!"

"It's really small." Abel responded with a smile:

"But its ranking is much better than Rice University. It is a good choice for you to study here."

"The law school and economics school of this school are very strong. Many people in my company graduated here."

Little Laura thought to herself, what I want to discuss with you is not about whether the school is good or not!

Little Laura also has her own worries about her affair with Abel.

She felt that Abel was too inactive.

It's obvious that the parents on both sides have to say it directly.

The combination of the two families is also very beneficial to each other.

I'm not bad looking, but at most I'm a little too small.

But I will always grow up.

But why is this guy not taking any initiative at all?

He was obviously such a playboy in the newspaper!

Thinking of this, little Laura was a little angry, and she pushed Abel gently.

"Well, what's the matter?" Abel looked down at her.

Little Laura, who is sixteen years old, is at most about 1.6 meters tall.

Standing next to him who is 1.92 meters tall, she looks like a little girl.

"I feel like you don't pay attention to me at all. I feel like you've been perfunctory with me."

Little Laura stared at him, and she said seriously.

I'm really just perfunctory with you

Of course Abel would not say such words.

He smiled and said: "How is it possible? You are so beautiful and cute. No one will treat you badly, no one will ignore you."

"Really?" Little Laura looked up at him.

"real."

"Then why do you reply to one or two messages when I send you three or four messages?"

"Well you know. I'm busy, I have too much company to take care of."

"No, you not only have so much company to take care of. You also have so many girlfriends to take care of, am I right?"

Abel was silent.

He looked at little Laura and saw a pair of very bright eyes on the face of the most beautiful girl in the younger generation of the Bush family.

"actually."

Little Laura said: "I know that our understanding is actually more due to cooperation in interests."

"The Bush family needs the help of a young, positive, and rising local family in their base camp."

"The Smith family also needs the help of a prestigious family that has climbed up."

"Working with Smith and the Shrub family will give both parties a great helper in Texas."

She looked at Abel seriously, "Am I right?"

"Forehead"

Abel really didn't want to face these truly wealthy daughters.

Except for a few of them, most of them have received a good elite education since childhood.

They may be poor in common sense and empathy, but when it comes to matters concerning their own interests.

One or two, both have good vision.

An ordinary girl around sixteen years old.

Most of them are still immersed in pursuing idols, happiness, excitement, or learning and other things.

These guys from wealthy families, as long as they are not abandoned playboys.

In fact, they are very smart.

Just like Ah Xi.

He has two sons.

His eldest son is very smart and capable. If he can survive, he will be a top American elite.

His youngest son. If you say "dandy", you are praising his youngest son.

The tragedy is that his eldest son died young, leaving only a super cheating younger son.

From his two sons, we can see the views of the American elite on family education.

If you can inherit the family and are very motivated, then work hard to cultivate education.

If you're just dawdling, that's fine.

Little Laura is the eldest daughter of George's third brother.

As the first child.

Still a girl.

This kind of child is destined to be used as a marriage tool when he is born.

In this way, the education she received was certainly related to this aspect.

And it can't be worse.

This makes her appear to be very precocious and very realistic in this regard.

"Do you know this at such a young age?" Abel had to answer.

Little Laura smiled and said:

"My uncle actually told me this. He told me that you are a good potential stock. As long as I catch you, both me and the Bush family will benefit a lot."

"All right."

Abel said softly, and at this time the two people had walked to the edge of Huashengdun Square, next to a stone bench.

He suggested sitting down, but there happened to be no one around.

You can talk to her.

After the two people sat down, Abel looked at her and said seriously:

"I'm just a playboy. Those newspapers weren't wrong. What they said was actually true."

"I have many girlfriends. I don't want to get married so early."

Abel decided to confess, because this was originally one of the reasons why he came here today to find little Laura.

Charlize's thing.

It made him want to take a risk and take the opportunity to escape from the marriage tool status that troubled him.

"But it's true that you are capable." Little Laura cutely spread her hands.

"As long as you don't change that. Even if you're a playboy, my uncle and my grandfather, even my father."

"They're still going to want you to be part of the Bush family."

"They would tell me: My dear little Lauren, men are like this, you have to learn to tolerate it!"

What she said was so straightforward that Abel felt that she seemed very magnanimous.

After thinking about it, Abel felt that this was a good time to penetrate.

Abel made a shocking revelation.

"I have an illegitimate child. One of my girlfriends, she's pregnant."

The reason why the material is powerful is that it is very powerful.

Little Laura, who had spoken very generously just now, was discovered by Abel after hearing his words.

Her beautiful eyes were widened, and for the first time, anger appeared on her pretty face.

"Are you trying to piss me off, Mr. Smith?"

For the first time, she was expressionless in front of Abel.

"If so, you've succeeded."

"Well" Abel smiled: "No, I'm just telling the truth."

"call"

Little Laura took a deep breath and let it out again.

Her pretty face, which was still a little childish, became a little cold.

"You're nothing like a Mayflower, nothing like a Smith."

Little Laura said:

“All Mayflowers, they’re very traditional.”

"Your father and grandfather were also very decent. Why are you so outrageous when it comes to you, Mr. Smith?"

At this time, little Laura looked extremely serious.

He doesn't look like he is sixteen at all, but looks like he is thirty-six, or even forty-six.

The daughter of a blue-blooded family is the kind who has a marriage mission.

The elite education he received since he was a child, plus the environment of a wealthy family.

This will make them more precocious and realistic than children from ordinary wealthy families.

"genetic mutation?"

Abel said softly:

"Just like the Mayflower, none of them can survive on Wall Street."

"And if I can, that proves that I'm not a traditional Mayflower."

"As for my father and grandfather, they were really traditional and decent."

"But if I were like them, do you think George and Herbert would choose to marry Smith?"

"Before us. George was a colleague of my grandfather, and the relationship between the two families was not that good."

"It's not because of me. Because of me, the unconventional Smith, because of the appearance of this outrageous Mayflower."

"That's how we get along now."

"Little Laura. Genetic mutation is a double-edged sword. It makes me less like a Smith and allows me to do well on Wall Street."

"But the other side of it also made me this way."

Abel kept saying one thing after another, leaving little Laura stunned.

It sounds like that's the case, but if you think about it carefully, it doesn't hold up at all.

It's just that although little Laura is precocious and realistic, it would be false to say how smart she is.

Even the pros and cons of combining the interests of two families.

It was all her parents who analyzed it for her.

This made Abel's strong words somewhat convincing in her heart.

"Then so be it." Little Laura said:

"I will think carefully about our next relationship."

Abel nodded:

"You should think about it carefully. But I don't want other people to know about this. I just hope that only the two of us know. You know that I am referring to the illegitimate child."

Little Laura stood up and wanted to leave, but paused after hearing what he said.

Finally she nodded: "I understand."

Looking at Laura Bush Lauren leaving.

Abel didn't know whether what he just did was right or wrong.

He was just upset, so he brought it up.

If she doesn't accept it, go to Xiaoshu and the others.

Abel felt that he might have to bear the anger from that side.

But he has already been mentally prepared, even prepared to endure all this.

He mainly considered that it would be better for Shrub to be held accountable for this kind of thing afterwards.

It's better to expose it directly before you really confirm your relationship with them.

Let the shrub make the choice.

Let the bushes consider for themselves whether they should continue to choose themselves or choose to separate.

Even allowing Charlize to be born instead of aborting it directly.

He also has thoughts about this matter.

That would be unfair to Charlize.

There is a certain possibility that she will become a victim.

But Abel felt that this was the result of her own self-assertiveness.

is a possible punishment from him.

Although he accepted her decision, he still felt unhappy.

Then just take this opportunity to have a showdown with the Shrub family.

After the showdown, no matter what the outcome is. Only then can you continue to live your original life.

How good is this?

After thinking about these things clearly, there are still preparations and plans for the next step.

Abel was sure that he took the initiative to find little Laura this time and accomplished what he wanted to do.

He has no interest in staying here anymore.

He stood up from the stone bench and was about to leave.

But in the distance, he saw little Laura walking towards him quickly, holding a paper bag in her hand.

Abel stood still, waiting for her to come over.

"this is for you."

After walking up to Abel, little Laura handed him the paper bag.

"What is it?" Abel took it easily.

"A scarf, I made it myself." Little Laura said expressionlessly.

"Given to me?"

"Um."

"Thank you then."

"You're welcome." Little Laura said, turned around and left.

Abel carried the paper bag and took out a white scarf from it. It could be seen that the workmanship was very rough.

He didn't know how to evaluate it.

In the end, he just didn't want to. Anyway, he just had to be prepared to deal with the anger from his family or the Bush family.

With this in mind, he took the paper bag and left NYU.

For the next few days, Abel waited for the call.

Waiting for a call from Texas, or from DC.

But on March 20th.

The call he wanted to wait for didn't come.

It was quiet in Texas, and it was quiet in DC.

He was so quiet that he wanted to call back.

This made some of his preparations basically in vain.

After the 20th, he was too lazy to wait any longer.

Anyway, the soldiers came to cover up the water and the soil, so Abel decided to live his own life first.

This day he came to Smith Building again.

In the office on the fourth floor.

Abel sat on a special office chair and quietly looked at the spot gold trend chart.

Smith Capital has been building a position for many days.

The average position opening line is around 238.00.

Now, the price of London gold is around 229.00.

Yes, London gold has fallen.

The reason for the decline is that there are some problems in Asia.

these days.

In Asia, the Hang Seng Index and the Nikkei 225 Index both plummeted for three days.

As we all know, Asia is the place that values ​​gold most in the world.

The financial situation is sluggish, and spot gold has also plummeted, and it is still falling.

The reason for this is actually Abel also knows the reason.

It's because during this period of time on Wall Street, under the leadership of Soros, there was another small wave of dollar tides.

The so-called dollar tide refers to the United States and Wall Street.

It is a means of harvesting high-quality assets in the global high-quality market through financial means by taking advantage of the interest rate cuts and increases of the US dollar.

If I had to explain this, I could probably write a paper on international economics worth tens of thousands of words.

To put it simply, Wall Street hot money headed by Soros has started causing trouble again.

The target is Asia, mainly Southeast Asia, Hong Kong Island, Neon and Bangzi.

This kind of thing happens every few years.

There are large and small scales. The big one is the Southeast Asian economic crisis in 1997.

It is precisely because of this routine harvest that led to the abnormal decline of spot gold.

But this was already expected from Abel's talent.

Even Abel knew that this small bull market in spot gold started because of this.

After the plunge, the market became more risk averse and retaliatory.

This can support the emergence of a bull market.

Abel looked at the spot gold trend chart and tapped the table gently.

Because of this small dollar tide, today’s spot gold, spot silver and other precious metal futures are trading.

Both the Asian and European markets are plummeting, and the K-line on the daily chart is currently a big negative line.

Spot silver opened at 15.70 in Asian trading, and now it has fallen to 15.00, a full 70 points!

However, Smith Capital does not do spot silver.

Spot gold opened at 236.0 in Asian trading, but has now fallen to 228.0, a plunge of $8, or 80 points.

This caused Smith's capital losses to be considerable.

At least the floating loss must exceed US$500 million.

The trading capital Abel gave them was only US$10 billion, and their losses were as high as 5%.

But these were all within his expectations.

The time has come.

He issued new orders.

Keep building positions, and build as many positions as possible.
