America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 276 NBA Draft Night Terror·Fake

At this moment, Abel didn't know that a young black man was "targeting" him.

He was talking to Buffett and Bloomberg.

To his left is Buffett, to his right is Bloomberg.

Compared to the Buffett that ordinary Americans know.

In the United States at this time, Bloomberg's fame was still limited to the upper class society, the financial circles, and the media circles.

Most ordinary Americans don’t even know that Bloomberg exists.

For Bloomberg to truly become famous, it will have to wait until he becomes the mayor of New York and firmly becomes one of the top ten richest people in the United States.

So at this time, Bloomberg was naturally ignored by the two black men, Jay-Z and Kanye West.

At this time, Bloomberg was regarded as an "inconsequential little old man" next to Abel Smith and Buffett.

At this moment, Bloomberg was watching the conversation between Abel and Buffett with a wry smile.

"You lied to me, kid. You're a liar!" Buffett said a little depressed.

The old man came here because he heard that several high-ranking people were with Abel tonight.

Buffett thought that this was another big move that Abel was going to make, so he called a group of friends in advance to discuss it.

Buffett, who was curious about this and wanted to join, made a special trip here.

I didn’t expect that there would be no big operation. Among the big names in Abel's words, there is only one Bloomberg.

The key is that Bloomberg was willing to come, and he followed Buffett because he knew he would come.

Buffett was a little angry because of this, but this anger could not really come from Abel.

The stock god can only complain and curse a few words in a low voice.

"Hehe~" Abel laughed after listening to Buffett's complaints, "I didn't lie to you. Isn't Michael here? As for Robert and the others, they went home halfway because of something. You can't allow others to go home, right? "

Seeing him like this, Buffett couldn't be more serious.

Who would have thought that the tycoon who once cost Wall Street tens of billions of dollars would have such a childish side?

Fortunately, thinking about his age, Buffett felt a little better.

Even younger than Buffett's son, what can Buffett say?

Buffett simply ignored Abel and decided to stay for a while before leaving.

What Bloomberg was watching was this slightly funny scene.

The owner of Bloomberg, found it very interesting.

As for Mr. President, who has great power in the NBA. David Stern was smiling beside him at this time.

Stern also didn't expect that Abel used "cheating" to get Buffett, the stock god.

Even Buffett and Bloomberg dared to lie. David Stern felt that Abel was the only one who dared to do this.

Others may dare to cheat, but whether they can bear the consequences of cheating these two is another matter.

At this time, Abel found David Stern.

"David. I've said it before, I will definitely make the NBA and your efforts worthwhile. Look, didn't I bring Buffett and Bloomberg here?"

"I even used deception to help the NBA and you. I made these two angry, and my sacrifice was too great. If the NBA doesn't compensate me, it will be my turn to be angry."

What else can David Stern say.

The president of the alliance, of course, could only smile bitterly at this moment.

Just like Buffett thought.

What David Stern was thinking at this time was also, "Who would have thought that Abe Smith would have such a childish side?"

David Stern whispered:

"Mr. Smith, the Rockets have already won the No. 1 pick. They are so lucky that even God is helping the Rockets. I don't think they need our help."

"Okay." Abel smiled: "You are the God of the NBA. You are helping the Rockets, which is good."

David Stern:

Buffett and Bloomberg watched Abel tease David Stern.

The old man felt a little more comfortable now.

Fortunately, the draft will begin soon, and David Stern is going to host it as president.

David Stern felt relieved, finally freed from Abel's "torture".

Abel didn't really let Buffett look at the boring so-called NBA draft in the eyes of his class.

Take advantage of this environment with no one around.

He was discussing things with Buffett and Bloomberg that had nothing to do with today's NBA draft.

"I saw in the news that Soros went to the UK. Didn't it mean that the UK has not allowed him to enter the country?" Abel asked the stock god curiously.

"There is no such thing." Buffett said:

"It's just spreading rumors. Some British people said that if Soros goes to the UK, he will be greeted with rotten eggs."

Bloomberg confirms this.

"The British government has not announced such an executive order."

Abel nodded, thinking about it, he thought this was normal.

That's England.

It is still the same Britain that experienced two imperial killers, Churchill and Thatcher.

Now in the 21st century, they have almost become the yes-men of their former little brother.

Such a British government dares to show its teeth to Americans like Soros, who to some extent symbolize the will of Wall Street?

Do you think it is 1901?

It is already 2001 in the 21st century!

The glory of the British Empire has long since faded away.

There is only one giant shit-stirring stick left on the British Isles.

All they have left is the Queen and Finance.

All other power comes from the conjugation of father and son, America.

Under such circumstances, how is it possible to show off one's teeth to American Brahmins or Kshatriyas?

If it were another European country that still had some sovereignty, it might be possible to issue such an order.

But if it's from the UK, it's most likely impossible.

"This time Soros is targeting the Norwegian krone." Buffett discussed with Abel in a low voice. "Aside from them, you may be the one who profits the most."

Abel smiled back at this.

It can be said that this time Abel and Soros, in a sense, are a bit in cahoots.

Soros is heading to the Kingdom of Norway.

The main purpose is to cut leeks and start the dollar tide.

He wants to plunder the wealth of the Kingdom of Norway just like he plundered the Southeast Asian countries and the Kingdom of Han.

It is the world's eighth largest oil exporter and the world's third largest natural gas exporter.

Just these two titles will make those oil people unable to wipe off their saliva.

As for Abel, he just used Norwegian krone as the stage as his bet. Play a zero-sum gambling game with a large number of international institutions and speculators.

Soros is engaged in cash foreign exchange, and his goal is to collapse the Norwegian krone.

Abel was playing a foreign exchange futures betting contract, and his goal was also to short the Norwegian krone.

Both sides want different things.

One is the wealth of the Kingdom of Norway.

One is betting against the player's money on the plate.

But if both sides want to win, or want to win more, they must let the Norwegian krone collapse.

That's why Buffett said that one of the biggest beneficiaries of Soros's demise was Abel.

This is also the reason why Abel’s talent tells him why USD/NOK can go long.

"There is still danger," Abel said, "but I stand on top of George's head. I see higher than him and farther than him. He may fail, but I will never fail."

Buffett was silent.

The stock god felt that this guy was too crazy when he said these words.

But there is something convincing about it.

It was as if Abel could really do what he said.

Buffett thought about it carefully, and the stock god thought that this was probably related to Abel's victorious record in finance.

It's like Napoleon before the Battle of Waterloo.

From Napoleon's enemies to his subordinates, allies, and subjects, no one thought that Napoleon would really lose.

As long as Abel's Battle of Waterloo hasn't happened yet.

When Abel says these things on Wall Street and in the American financial community, there will always be people who believe him.

Including Buffett.

"I don't care." Buffett said:

"Anyway, I don't play with you. I only play value investing. Everything else has nothing to do with me."

It is wrong to speculate!

The stock god thinks.

"Do you really only play value investing?" Abel glanced at Lao Ba.

"Need I remind you? Dear Warren," Abel mouthed to Buffett.

‘Sampra Energy’.

Buffett's black face was one of the few speculators in his life.

The decision was made at the instigation of Abel and Sullivan, CEO of PNC Financial Services Group.

Not to mention, the investment-to-income ratio is amazing.

In terms of annualized rate of return, it is higher than the investment with the highest rate of return in Buffett's life.

Speculation is the opposite, and the rewards will always be higher than value investment.

The risks are just as high.

Buffett kept his face dark and shut up, ignoring the smiling Abel.

But if Abel still wants to play similar operations.

Buffett feels that there is a high probability that he will participate.

Without it.

The numbers on Berkshire Hathaway's accounts are growing rapidly. It's so sweet.

Suddenly Buffett saw Abel applaud. The stock god himself was lightly patted on the shoulder by Abel, "Hey, Warren, give me some face and applaud with me."

When Buffett saw Bloomberg next to Abel, he was already smiling and applauding.

The stock god, who didn't pay attention to what was happening below at all, could only follow the two people and smile and applaud.

It turns out that down below, Rockets general manager George Postellos has announced the Rockets' selection for the No. 1 pick.

In 2001, he was the first pick in the first round of NBA rookie selection.

This player is Ming Yao from Eastern China.

A tall man who is young and a little thin, and a little giant who is 226cm tall.

Instigated by some trustees invited by the NBA and a large number of Chinese people present, the audience also burst into warm applause.

"Why did your team pick an Asian?"

Bloomberg, who had been silent, asked curiously:

"Looks a little thin. Doesn't look like he's suitable for the NBA."

The NBA is a bunch of muscular black guys, and they can't compare to the more perverted guys who play in the NHL.

But at this time, Yao looked too young and thin, even thinner than Aliang and Sun Dasheng when they first came to the NBA.

It doesn't look like it can be typed.

Abel said with confidence: "Hey, you will know later. I asked the team manager to pick this specially!"

After hearing what Abel said, of course Bloomberg stopped talking about this topic.

At this time Buffett couldn't help it anymore, and the old man said to Abel:

"I'm leaving. You can continue to stay here and watch the black people."

The old man's voice was very low, and he was afraid of being heard by black people.

The power of ZZZQ is something that stock gods should be wary of.

It doesn't matter if Bloomberg and Abel hear it.

"Okay." Abel said, "I'm about to leave. Let's go together. We'll leave together when I call David Stern over to say a few words."

Buffett hesitated for a moment, a little unconvinced.

But the old man still chose to stop and wait for Abel.

Abel waved to David Stern.

Working below, David Stern was full of enthusiasm and attracted the attention of the audience.

The president of the NBA league, his attention has actually been on Abel's side.

Saw the big guys calling.

The NBA president immediately said some kind words on the spot.

Then he handed the microphone to his right-hand assistant Xiao Hua, and then the president of the NBA league came to Abel and others.

"Mr. Smith? What's wrong?" David Stern was worried that the tycoon would do something else.

Obviously that Asian guy was drafted by the Rockets.

This has already met Abel's requirements, isn't he going to do any more tricks?

Fortunately, Abel said:

"It's like this. David, Warren is feeling a little unwell, and his age is reflected here. There are too many people here, and it's still an indoor venue. He can't stay here any longer. I want to accompany him to the hospital for a checkup. "

Buffett:

The stock god already regretted why he had to wait for Abel.

He felt that it was the right thing for him to just leave.

Bloomberg burst out laughing next to him.

David Stern doesn't know if it's true or not.

But if something happens to Warren Buffett at Madison Square Garden, the NBA will also be in trouble.

David Stern quickly said:

"Then what are you waiting for? Gentlemen, Mr. Buffett's health is in serious condition. Please send him to the hospital for examination as soon as possible."

Buffett wanted to sneer at David Stern, but by now the stock god was too angry to speak.

The stock god stood up and walked outside, and the bodyguards began to follow.

Abel patted David Stern on the shoulder, "Look. He is already so anxious. Let's leave first. But..."

At this point, Abel's voice paused.

Then he continued: "How many people are here at Madison Square Garden today?"

David Stern was a little confused, wondering why Abel suddenly asked this.

But the president of the NBA league still replied: "Nearly 20,000 people, already full."

"Okay." Abel patted him on the shoulder again, "Then in the name of our dear Mr. Warren Buffett, please invite each of the 20,000 spectators here to eat one of McDonald's most expensive single-person meals. .After all, he is the big boss of McDonald’s.”

"Pfft~"

Bloomberg, who also stood up next to Abel, could not help laughing at this time, and then had to continue to hold back his laughter next to him.

Buffett hasn't gone far yet, so we can't let Buffett find out.

David Stern was a little confused, not knowing whether what Abel said was true or false.

"Go." Abel said with a smile, "We're leaving soon. Hurry up and do it. As for the expenses, you go to Berkshire Hathaway to reimburse them first. If Warren doesn't reimburse you, Then come find me in Queens. Smith Building, you should know the location."

David Stern nodded subconsciously.

The president of the alliance saw Abel and Bloomberg starting to walk outside surrounded by a group of bodyguards.

The auditorium in the most important and best corner of Madison Square Garden suddenly became a large blank space.

The bodyguards and entourages of the three bosses, plus themselves, totaled more than forty people.

This scene made a lot of noise and was noticed by the entire scene.

However, they only saw David Stern standing still, sending off a large group of very powerful people towards the special exit.

David Stern, who stayed where he was, gritted his teeth and began to take out his phone.

Ordered takeout from McDonald's.

When Abel and others got up.

Kanye West, who was next to Jay-Z, suddenly stood up and said to his boss:

"Sean, my stomach feels uncomfortable. I'm going to go take a nap first."

"Go, go, go." Jay-Z's attention was attracted to Abel, and he waved impatiently.

Kanye West immediately left, and the young black music producer plucked up the courage to make a big plan.

On Abel's side, he caught up with Buffett, who was a little angry.

Bloomberg followed.

"Let's go, Warren." Abel said with a smile:

"Michael and we, let's find a place to have a drink? Coffee or wine? You've already invited so many people to McDonald's. It's my turn to treat them this time."

Treating so many people to McDonald’s?

Buffett was puzzled that when Abel and David Stern said those words, the stock god was already a little far away and did not hear them.

Buffett wasn't really angry, he was just stingy.

The key is Abel's age.

If Abel were older, Buffett would feel that he was humiliating him.

If it were Abel who was younger than his son, Buffett would not feel this way.

In the circle of stock gods, there is really no one so young but with a similar status to him.

"Okay. But I'm not drinking coffee tonight. Let's go eat McDonald's," Buffett said.

"Pfft~"

Bloomberg, who was walking behind Abel, couldn't help laughing when he heard Buffett say this.

Buffett didn't know why Bloomberg suddenly laughed.

The more Bloomberg thinks about it, the funnier he gets, but now he can only hold back his laughter:

"Sorry, I suddenly thought of something funny. I couldn't hold it back."

Buffett finds Bloomberg baffling.

The three tycoons, accompanied by security personnel, walked outside.

When I just walked out of the special entrance of Madison Square Garden.

An accident happened.

A young black man tried to get closer. As he approached, he shouted:

"Mr. Smith! Mr. Smith! I have something to ask Mr. Smith!"

The young black man had not even taken a few steps closer.

Several "passers-by" who were wandering around him suddenly became angry and suppressed him.

At the same time, Abel and Buffett retreated into Madison Square Garden under cover.

Facing the surging bodyguards, a somewhat stunned Kanye West regretted it.

The young black man felt that he was a fool, how could he come up with such a stupid plan.

This was not even close when something like this happened.

If you can't talk to the other party, if you are regarded as an assassin.

Kanye West feels that he will be in bad luck next time!
