America's Road to Wealth

"What are you fussing about?"

Ikana was checking the luggage list next to her.

She looked up at her best friend Paris who was making a fuss and asked curiously.

Paris did not pay attention to Ikana immediately, but continued to ask Kim Kardashian on the other side of the phone.

After confirming the news several times again.

Paris took a deep breath, then another, and another.

After several times, my mood calmed down a little.

Then Paris looked at Ikana and her belly with an expression of envy and hatred.

Paris's look made Ikana feel a little confused.

Ikana covered her stomach with one hand without leaving a trace, and took two steps back.

Is this Paris going crazy suddenly?

Ikana thought.

Of course Paris was not crazy. She thought for a moment, turned around and walked a few steps outside, whispering a few words to a female bodyguard guarding the stairs next to the living room.

"What's going on? Paris, you look like this makes me worried!"

Ikana watched her "send away" the bodyguard, feeling even more nervous.

Fortunately, there is still a personal bodyguard, Jane, who has not left.

Ikana took a few steps closer to Jane's position, standing at a seemingly safe distance from Paris, and then expressed her dissatisfaction with Paris.

After Paris and the female bodyguard said a few words.

She turned around and came to Ikana again.

Ikana was a little nervous, but looked at the nervous Paris with dissatisfaction.

"I'm fine." Paris smiled bitterly and looked at Ikana's belly.

"I just heard a piece of news that shocked me so much that I lost my temper."

"What is the news? What makes you make such a fuss?" Ikana was curious and put both hands on her stomach.

He took two more steps in Jane's direction.

Ikana was a little scared by the way Paris was staring at her belly.

"Hey," Paris sighed again, and then tried her best to look happy.

The eldest lady of the Hilton family smiled:

"The news that shocked me is that the child in your belly will become the child of the richest man in the world as soon as she or he is born."

"What? When my baby is born, of course he will be very rich. You know, wait a minute."

Ikana looked at Paris in surprise, "What did you just say? The child of the world's richest man?"

Paris nodded, and when she was about to speak, Ikana's phone rang next to her.

Because of fear of radiation, Ikana no longer touches her mobile phone casually.

If you want to contact Ikana now, you must either find Paris first, or you can only call here.

Ikana only asks her bodyguard to carry her mobile phone with her when she goes out.

"Answer the phone first." Looking at Ikana's expression of great joy and uncertainty.

Paris acted mischievously and deliberately didn't finish what she said and asked Ikana to answer the phone first.

Ikana had no choice but to pick up the phone receiver with great surprise and uncertainty.

"Hello? Ikana? It's me."

"Oh, Daddy."

"Ikana, have you read today's "2001 Forbes Rich List"?"

"Not yet."

Paris had made such a fuss before.

Then there was this phone call from my father.

At this time, Ikana had vaguely guessed something in her heart.

Even if she only guessed a little bit, a huge joy and sense of accomplishment had already filled Ikana's generous heart.

"Tell you good news! My dear daughter, your boyfriend Abel Smith, he is now the richest man in the world! With a fortune of more than 70 billion U.S. dollars! Fuckshit! Let me live another hundred years, I You can’t even make half of that much!! Farke, farke, farke.”

The father said some vulgar but exciting words behind him.

Ikana could no longer hear.

She only heard her boyfriend.

The father of the child in his belly.

The Abe Smith whom I loved the most was the man who gave me everything I had now.

He is the richest man in the world, with a fortune of more than 70 billion US dollars!

Seventy billion US dollars, how many zeros are there?

Even Ikana, the top student, was stunned by the news.

Seeing Ikana's behavior at this time, Paris felt comfortable in her unbalanced heart.

The eldest daughter of Hilton quickly came over to support Ikana and said with a smile:

"Did you hear that? Why did I react so loudly just now? Do you understand?"

Ikana nodded dazedly, and was helped by Paris to sit down on the sofa in the living room.

Fortunately, Ikana has a strong will and is much more rational than most women and more rational than many men.

This kind of character quality allowed Ikana to quickly recover from the huge shock.

Ikana grabbed Paris's hand and stood up, "I want to call him. I want to call my dear, and I want him to tell me personally!"

Paris was extremely envious, but at this moment she could only accompany Smiley and help Ikana make a phone call.

Meanwhile, in DC.

During an internal consultation for members of Congress.

The owner of the White House is currently the most powerful man on the planet.

After George Bush gave a speech, he went to rest next to him with a smile.

Then one of his personal secretaries came over.

This personal secretary worked for him when he was the general manager of the Texas Rangers.

Belongs to his cronies.

The secretary came to him and whispered a few words in his ear.

After hearing these words, George Bush smiled on his face.

"are you sure?"

"Yes. That's what Forbes magazine said."

"Okay. You can call me and congratulate him in my name."

"OK."

The secretary left.

George Shrub seemed to be listening attentively to a congressman's speech, but what he was thinking in his mind had nothing to do with today's issue.

The shrub family is becoming more and more prosperous in my hands!

A former commander-in-chief, a current commander-in-chief, a governor of Florida, and the richest man in the world.

Compared to my father back then, I am more successful now and my family is also more successful!

George took a deep breath, but his heart became more and more happy.

wall street,

Goldman Sachs Headquarters,

Office of the CEO.

Paulson threw the copy of "Forbes' Richest People 2001" aside.

The CEO looked at his right-hand man, Lord Blankfein, next to him.

"Lalder, there is a world's richest man on Wall Street. What do you think it means to us?"

Lloyd Blankfein smiled bitterly, "It means that we were robbed of tens of billions of dollars by him."

Paulson laughed.

In fact, this is how many Wall Street executives feel after seeing Abel, the Wall Street tycoon, ascend to the throne of the world's richest man.

From the perspective of Wall Street, most of Abel's wealth was plundered from the financial battlefield.

The most active in the financial battlefield is the Wall Street Legion.

Abel earns ten dollars in the financial battlefield, at least five of which will go to Wall Street.

Wall Street will feel that Abel's net worth has been stolen from them.

But fortunately, everything Abel is doing now is within the rules of Wall Street.

Even Abel himself has begun to uphold the rules of Wall Street.

Even if Abel robbed him of his money, Wall Street would at most give him a few words and no practical actions.

If your skills are not as good as others, there is nothing you can do.

But if Abel is not a member of Wall Street, he is not an American.

If he had this talent and "robbed" so much money from Wall Street.

Then the conversation between Paulson and Lloyd Blankfein today would not be like this.

He would be shouting at Abel to kill him.

Then Wall Street will use any method, including physical means, to target such a guy who is not within the rules.

simply put.

If there were a "talented" guy like Abel in China or Maozi.

Unless this person does not go abroad, something will happen if he goes abroad.

Something might happen even within his own country.

Like a car accident or something

It is precisely because Abel understood this that he became less resistant to integrating into Wall Street and became particularly proactive.

A conversation between two Goldman Sachs executives.

There are many similar conversations happening on Wall Street at this time.

Wall Street actually doesn't value the so-called richest man in the world.

Because these people on Wall Street know who the real richest man in the world is.

In their eyes, Forbes' world's richest man is just a relatively wealthy guy.

That is to say, Abel was born on Wall Street, and most of his net worth was "robbed" from them.

Wall Street is talking about him so much.

If it were other non-Wall Street people who got the world's richest man, they wouldn't bother to discuss it.

Ikana and the others reacted greatly, George Shrub's reaction was also not small, and Wall Street also reacted.

The repercussions of Abel Smith becoming the richest man in the world are yet to come in the United States.

Let's turn our attention back to London.

Among the women related to Abel, Laura Shrub, who now had the highest status in his mind, was the last to know the news.

The reason is because little Laura didn't get up until almost noon.

She went to bed early last night and felt very comfortable being simply held by Abel to sleep.

When I got up to change the paper in the middle of the night, I looked at Abel's pitiful appearance.

She had no choice but to push Abel to the next room.

But it was already past four in the morning.

She didn't go to bed until around four or five o'clock. Little Laura was at the end of her pubertal development. There was no one to disturb her and she didn't have to go to school, so she naturally slept soundly.

When I woke up, I had just had lunch.

She just learned the news.

At this time, Abel was still in the City of London and had not returned. He had been answering the phone all morning, and he didn't know how many people had called him with busy signals.

Villa One, Garden Street, Kensington Palace.

In the spacious and bright living room outside the master bedroom.

After hearing the news, little Laura couldn't help but smile on her face.

Marcus, the team leader of the U.S. Secret Service who delivered the news next to him, held up a thick copy of the Forbes rankings and said:

"Miss Bush. Mr. Smith is incredible. He is only twenty-one years old. When I was twenty-one, I was still playing in the mud in the army."

Little Laura smiled lightly: "Everyone has his own talent. Marcus, your talent is not here. But when it comes to protecting people, Abel is not as good as you."

Marcus knew she was trying to comfort him, but he still felt very useful.

The team leader of the Secret Service felt that this little Miss Shrub was more than a hundred times better than Jeb Shrub's daughter.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the world's richest man chose her as his future wife.

Marcus thought with a simple smile, "Maybe. But I think Mr. Smith is too powerful."

Little Laura smiled again and said: "In that case, you can follow Abel from now on. How about after you retire from the Secret Service?"

"No problem!" Marcus agreed quickly, not caring that there were two colleagues next to him.

One of those two colleagues was Catherine.

Hannah Katherine looked at Marcus's ruthless appearance, and he didn't look like an elite Secret Service agent at all.

Catherine felt very unhappy and thought about reporting Marcus to her superiors when she went back.

But in Hannah Catherine's mind, she thought that the young rich man who once stared at her lustfully was now the richest man in the world.

Catherine also felt a little incredible.

If at that time he

Catherine began to think wildly.

city ​​of london,

On the 15th floor of the Furui Building, in the chairman's office.

When little Laura just woke up, she took a morning phone call and had to hand over mobile phones No. 1 and No. 2 to David and Jed to let these two people help with the call.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Abel met the elite lawyers from Clifford Chance Law Firm who came to his door.

The people who came were still Timmy Owen and Amo Alamuddin, but there were two more assistants or followers.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Smith." The barrister smiled more and more friendly.

The well-informed lawyer naturally already knew that the man in front of him was now the richest man in the world.

After learning about this, the senior executives of Clifford Chance Law Firm immediately asked Timmy Owen to kill him.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Owen." Abel was curious, "Is something okay?"

"Ahem~ That's it." Timmy Owen coughed, "Mr. Smith, you told us what happened last night. We have sorted out some clues."

"So fast?" Abel couldn't help being surprised.

Last night he gave Clifford Chance a piece of business.

That is to find enough material to sue BMW and Volkswagen.

Although in this process, Clifford Chance was able to get help from the British Vickers Group, as well as Rolls-Royce Motor Cars itself.

But it was too fast. I had to explain this matter at nine o'clock last night.

It's noon now. It's just before 12 noon.

That is thirteen or four hours at most.

Has Clifford Chance already prepared the materials for prosecution?

Timmy Owen smiled reservedly, "Yes. The things we have now allow prosecutors to initiate prosecutions. BMW and Volkswagen must respond."

After confirming this, even Abel couldn't help but admire him a little.

Abel wanted to say, ‘This is so professional! ’

Little did he know that Clifford Chance could produce something that took a week to prepare so quickly.

It's because Clifford Chance attaches too much importance to Abel, a big client.

Timmy Owen left early last night to go back to the company for a meeting to prepare documents.

Last night, dozens of elite ordinary lawyers at Clifford Chance were all called over to work overtime.

In the morning, Timmy Owen and several other senior partners, the barristers of Clifford Chance, all set out.

Their appearance has greatly improved the efficiency of Vickers Group and Rolls-Royce Motor Cars, which have always been procrastinating.

A busy night and a morning of overtime work.

Dozens of elite lawyers worked for Abel, which made the work efficiency so exaggerated.

Originally, within the Clifford Chance law firm, some senior officials had objections to Timmy Owen's "making a fuss out of a molehill".

But these opinions, this morning, Forbes announced that Abel is the world's richest man.

And his personal wealth is as high as 70 billion US dollars, or even more in the future.

These so-called opinions disappeared in an instant, and became the strong support of the entire Clifford Chance law firm.

A client who was already very generous and is now the richest man in the world.

There are too many law firms willing to rob you.

Timmy Owen came here in a happy mood and came to see Abel on business.

To be honest, Abel himself thought that it would take at least two or three days for the results to come out.

In the past, Caroline in New York could do things very quickly.

But it takes more than two days to prepare the materials.

Clifford Chance, a law firm in London, is actually twice as fast as Caroline.

This made Abel feel that it was indeed the birthplace of the modern lawyer system.

As one of the ancestral places of legal practitioners, efficiency means speed.

"Okay." Abel said with a smile: "If that's the case, then what are you waiting for? Sue BMW and Volkswagen. We want to seek justice for Rolls-Royce Motor Company!"

"No problem." Timmy Owen laughed. He liked the words "justice" spoken by the world's richest man.

That's right, we lawyers are not the lackeys of the rich and money.

We are just seeking justice for the rich!

At most, it is just a little "insignificant" reward in the process and ending of justice.

Thinking this, Timmy Owen pointed behind him, where Amo Alamuddin was dressed as Legally Blonde.

"Mr. Smith, this is Miss Aymo Alamuddin. You met her last night."

"From now on, Miss Aymo Alamuddin will be responsible for the contact between Clifford Chance Law Firm and you."

“She is a great lawyer at Clifford Chance and is sure to meet all your needs.”

When Timmy introduced himself, Amo Alamuddin immediately stood up, smiled and bowed to Abel:

"Hello, Mr. Smith. Amo Alamuddin is happy to serve you."

Abel smiled and nodded towards her and Timmy. He thought the two people were talking strangely.

Provide service, provide service and look at the Legally Blonde in front of you.

Abel twitched the corners of his mouth, offering services if he needed them.

Probably it may not be limited to legal services.

It is estimated that her body and her body are just one of the services provided by Clifford Chance Law Firm.

Otherwise, she would have been a trainee lawyer yesterday and last night.

Today I am actually an official lawyer.

Is it possible to become a full-time employee so quickly?

Yes, as long as you are willing to pay.

Whether it's a permanent change or something else.

For beauties, it's often very fast.

The next chapter will be at one or two o'clock. You can read it tomorrow without waiting. I rushed back from my hometown today, sorry
