America's Road to Wealth

English is currently the most influential language in the world.

It has hundreds of spoken languages.

Although it is divided into two major categories, namely American English and British English.

But outside and within these two broad categories, accents abound.

Apart from anything else, in fact, the native language of many third brothers is also English.

It's this part of the third brother and their English accents that are amazing.

It's amazing that most foreigners who speak English can't understand their English.

But they themselves understand it.

According to statistics, there are 454 spoken languages ​​in the UK.

No one in the United States has statistics, but the spoken language will be slightly different in the same region.

Like Abel himself, he did not deliberately maintain reasons.

When he first went to New York, the English he spoke was actually typical southern American English, with a strong southern flavor.

It is the typical red-necked standard accent in the eyes of foreigners.

But later he didn't deliberately maintain it, plus the reason why the soul came from outside.

After staying in New York for a long time, his spoken language has gradually shifted towards the East Coast.

Of course, there are subtle differences in these accents.

Foreigners outside the United States, even those who speak English, have a hard time telling them apart.

Slim Stade speaks English with a New York accent, but has no idea where Abel's accent comes from.

Even if they know it, they don't care, that is, linguists and regional artillery experts like to study these things.

"Soros came here a few days ago." Faced with Slim Stadler who got straight to the point.

Abel didn't hesitate and moved Soros out directly, "He told me so too."

In fact, Soros didn't say that at all, he just said he would think about it later.

But in business negotiations, of course, if the subject is not biased, it can be deceived or not.

Slim Stade said: "We are more sincere. We can support you at the shareholder meeting and the board of directors, Mr. Smith."

"I heard that you have sold more than 3 billion US dollars of shares in General Electric."

Abel added: "How much voice do you have left in General Electric?"

Slim Stade said confidently:

"We dare to say that this guarantee is of course prepared. The Dutch Pension Fund, the European Union Fund, the Danish National Future Fund, and the Swedish Development Fund. As shareholders of GE. They all hope that General Electric can sell the NBC television network and replace it with Huge cash profits.”

The funds that Slim Stadler mentioned are all European sovereign funds.

At the same time, he has invested in General Electric stocks and is one of the shareholders of General Electric.

That’s right, General Electric, a company that is a pillar of the United States’ national science and technology industry.

At least one-third of its shares are held by foreign companies

But it's just a holding, and at most you can get dividends.

If there is really a foreign company trying to acquire and annex General Electric.

The United States will teach this foreign company how to run a company in minutes.

Even for Americans, it would be extremely difficult for them to acquire General Electric.

It's almost like a Chinese person wants to acquire a certain medium-sized state-owned enterprise.

"Very good." Abel said with a smile: "Then I will ask Smith Media to send another acquisition letter to General Electric. I hope General Electric will not be unresponsive this time."

Slim Stade said with certainty: "There will definitely be a reaction!"

"That's perfect. Then."

The smiling Abel changed the subject and looked at Slinstad.

"What do you want from me?"

"Don't stand on the side of evil. Don't associate with Soros and others." Slinstad said sincerely:

"They are robbers. But we think you are definitely not Mr. Smith. You are the financial Moses. Moses is the being who guides believers towards the light."

"I am not a financial Moses." Abel suddenly said:

"That's just a title and nickname placed on me by some people on Wall Street and the American media. I have never admitted it, and my media companies have never promoted me in this way."

Slim Stader was stunned, and then his face immediately became happy.

"Ah! Of course, you are certainly not Moses. You are definitely not Moses! You are the investment king of Wall Street and the god of investment in the United States!"

The hat given by Slim Stadler was very big, and his expression looked relatively happy.

This is because although Moses was a saint of the three desert religions.

But too often, he's seen as the Oilers' national leader.

His status is similar to that of Emperor Xuanyuan of China.

Financial Moses, if placed in the Chinese dynasty, would mean that the Chinese people call him Financial Yellow Emperor or Financial Xuanyuan.

Just like Abel said, he himself and his media have never admitted or said this word.

And he is called Financial Moses. In the beginning, it was a title given to him by a group of Wall Street oilmen.

The first time the public saw this title, it was called by a platform of the CBS television network owned by Viacom Group.

From the oilmen on Wall Street to the controllers of Viacom Group, they are all the oilman elite in the United States.

And then there are the media who follow the orders of the authorities and polish the new bead of the lighthouse.

All under the influence of the media controlled by the oil people, the title of Financial Moses was placed on Abel.

Including Forbes.

This would be if it weren't for the fact that the 19 generations of Smith's ancestors who can be traced are all of the Unsa race.

It is estimated that those American oil media have already painted a layer of oil on him.

Just like Murdoch, he is only one-eighth of Oil blood, and he has never admitted that he is an Oil person.

But in the United States and around the world, at least half of the people think he is an Oiler.

The Oilers' propaganda and the One Drop of Blood principle are so perverted.

Even better than Abel, he couldn't even get rid of the title of Financial Moses.

Mainly because it’s not good to fall out now.

Slim Stadler is a smart man, and through Abel’s ambiguous expression and words just now.

He found this out and was a little happy.

Because Slimstad thought Abel was expressing his stance to him, saying that Abel was not an Oil man.

And Soros is one of the famous representatives of the Oilers.

Slim Stade thought that Abel was saying that he would not hang out with Soros.

The Norwegian was naturally delighted.

It's a pity that Abel is not so satisfied.

Abel planned it for more than two months and wasted so much capital cost.

If the NBC television network is successfully acquired, then that's not a problem.

But the formal acquisition hasn't started yet, so how can we be satisfied with this small profit?

"So be it. Before Soros comes to me again, I promise to stand in the middle."

Abel said to the smiling Slynn Stader:

"But if Soros's side would benefit me more. Sorry, Mr. Stade, you know, I am a businessman, a businessman. You are also a businessman, sir, you know what I mean."

Slimstad's happy smile disappeared, and the Norwegian knew that he was happy too soon.

Fortunately, the Norwegians came a few days later and were more prepared.

Slim Stader thought for a moment and spoke again——

"Norwegian Petroleum Fund is willing to hand over its approximately 20 billion U.S. dollars of funds to Smith Capital Management. At the same time, it can transfer one-third of the fund's remittance account in the United States to American Pacific Bank."

This is giving benefits.

Replace it with ordinary Wall Street companies, ordinary Wall Street giants.

Being able to get so much custody funds at once, and also get one-third of the remittance account of the Norwegian Petroleum Fund.

Most Wall Street companies will definitely regard this as a piece of fat.

Even giants like Goldman Sachs are no exception.

If operated well, these two businesses of the Norwegian Petroleum Fund. It can bring in profits of at least one billion U.S. dollars every year.

It's a pity that the Wall Street tycoon in front of Slim Stadler is the only Wall Street person who doesn't regard money as money.

He is the only Wall Street tycoon who treats money like dirt.

Other Wall Streeters want money in addition to money.

Abel is not a pure Wall Street guy.

More than money, Abel wanted influence.

Of course, if possible, money is also required.

"I want all these conditions." Abel looked at Slinstad, and then said softly:

"In addition to this, I also want to invest in Norwegian Hydro and Statoil. I believe that this will make me a bright knight in the fight against financial bandits."

"This is impossible! Mr. Smith!" Slim Stade said decisively: "This is absolutely impossible."

Statoil, founded in 1972, is a large comprehensive oil and gas company group.

If coupled with the oil and gas division of Norwegian Hydro, these two companies are almost representatives of the entire Norwegian energy industry.

It is also the economic pillar of the Kingdom of Norway and the confidence that supports this country.

Together, the two companies will be the world's third-largest crude oil exporter, the largest crude oil producer in the North Sea, and Europe's second-largest natural gas exporter.

It is also the most coveted fat meat in Norway.

In addition to making money, Soros's international hot money wants to acquire the assets most, and the first ones are definitely these two companies.

None of them had succeeded yet and were still making preparations for the robbery.

Abel was lucky, he didn't even end up.

I just want to pick the two fattest fruits.

How could Slinstad and Norway agree?

Seeing Slinstad's reaction, Abel didn't feel angry. He smiled and said:

"You can bargain. I only need a small share, only about 2%."

No matter how much Abel thought that Norway would die, he would never agree.

This is equivalent to a foreigner saying to Chinese people, I want to take a share in your Sinopec and PetroChina.

It's not the kind of shares of a listed company, but shares that can have actual power and make a lot of money.

Can the Chinese people agree?

There is a high probability that they will not agree, and it is certainly impossible for the Norwegians to agree.

Slim Stadler took a deep breath and said, "So be it. We will continue to support you at General Electric, Mr. Smith. We can also support you in fund custody and account custody."

"As for the shares, let's not talk about it. But we hope that you will notify us when Soros is looking for you. And you can continue to maintain a neutral attitude before we come to your door."

Abel also knew not to push people too hard. If he pushed too hard, he might not get even a hair.

Frogs need to be boiled by heating them little by little with warm water.

It doesn't matter whether it's Soros or the Norwegians.

So Abel smiled and responded to Slimstad, "No problem. I agree. But I think you can think about the shares."

"Thank you, no need to think about it. I'm going back, Mr. Smith, we are very busy now."

"Okay." Abel stood up to see the guest off.

Just before Slimstad was about to walk out of the room.

He smiled and shouted again, "Are you really not going to think about it? Mr. Stade?"

Slinstad responded by closing the door loudly and quickly leaving the French-style villa with his entourage.

Abel couldn't help laughing, and then said to David Jones next to him:

"Go and ask Alan to call Robert. Tell Robert that it's okay to send another acquisition letter to GE."

David smiled and nodded and went to inform.

The next day is August 15th.

In the morning, the energetic Abel sat in the car with his legs crossed, reading the report in the "Daily Telegraph" specially sent from London, and couldn't help but curling up the corners of his mouth with a happy expression.

[. American media giant Smith Media sent another letter to General Electric Group with the intention of acquiring NBC Television Company, a subsidiary of General Electric. 】

[. NBC Television CEO Bob Wright claimed in an interview with reporters that General Electric would never give up NBC Television easily, and anyone who wanted to acquire NBC Television would not succeed. 】

[However, a reporter interviewed General Electric shareholders. Many shareholders believed that General Electric should sell NBC Universal because its investment has already been repaid. Selling NBC TV stations at this time can at least bring more than ten times the profit to General Electric. ,at this time.】

At the back of the newspaper are some other issues about the United States and the world, which are not within the scope of Abel's concern.

Abel put aside his copy of the International Daily Telegraph.

The motorcade paused briefly as it passed a corner on the Champs Elysées in Paris.

Abel's car door was opened, and a pair of long legs wrapped in black over-the-knee leather boots stepped into the car. It was Amo Alamuddin who looked very similar to Annie.

Today, Aymo Alamuddin is wearing a silver-white dress and a black and silver-gray vertical striped windbreaker.

A meticulous high black ponytail, a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and flaming red lips.

It’s the kind of gold-rimmed glasses that are the sexiest thing to wear.

"Have you been waiting for a long time?"

Abel smiled, took the tall and graceful female lawyer's body into his arms, and kissed her bright red lips.

It has a different taste from Annie.

"It's okay. Just for a little while." Amo Alamuddin whispered shyly.

That day in Manchester, she was given several injections by Abel.

I had a slight limp when I walked.

She originally thought that it would be natural for her to become one of Abel's people later on.

But after that day, Abel never looked for her again.

Two days later, Aymo Alamuddin received the bad news that Abel had left London and gone to Paris.

Fortunately, just when Amo Alamuddin was disappointed.

She learned from the law firm that Abel went to Paris on business.

Then two days later, she was sent over by the lawyer's office again and continued to serve as the intermediary between Abel and the law firm.

This is the case of Amo Alamuddin, who was sent to Paris today.

Looking at Aimmo Alamuddin, whose appearance and temperament were very similar to Anne's, Abel said softly to the driver in front of him: "Let's go to Vivendi Global Headquarters."

The convoy began to drive towards the La Défense area where Abel had stayed a few days ago.

La Défense is the most complete and tallest CBD in Europe. It has the most skyscrapers among European metropolitan areas.

Abel's destination is the headquarters of the Vivendi Universal Group, located in a skyscraper in La Défense.

This skyscraper has 69 floors, and Vivendi Global Group alone occupies 39 floors.

In fact, the name of this skyscraper is also the Vivendi Tower, and it was originally a property of the Vivendi Group.

It's just that the group couldn't use so many floors internally, so it rented out the thirty floors below.

Vivendi Global Group has a very high status in France, and is even the first media giant in France or Europe.

It owns Canal+ Television Group, Universal Music Group, and Vivendi Entertainment.

Even Universal Pictures, one of the Hollywood giants, is a subsidiary of this company.

It can be said that it is the boss of the entertainment industry in France and even Europe.

Many French film companies, entertainment companies, and even European film companies and entertainment companies like to rent their headquarters here.

They all hope to rely on Vivendi Global Group to get some resources from this giant.

Gradually, this place has become a holy place for many people in the French entertainment industry and even European entertainment circles.

Except for the British for special reasons.

In recent years, other people in the European entertainment industry have basically entered Hollywood indirectly through the channels of Vivendi Universal Group.

And because it is so large and has such a high status, the people in the entertainment industry who can come and go here are naturally mainly middle- and upper-class people.

Even if they are celebrities, they are the most famous celebrities in France.

In a sense, a small "European Hollywood" has formed around this building.

It's just that the scale is extremely small, and almost all of its life depends on Vivendi Global Group.

It looks a bit like Europe as a whole, except for the woolly bears.

Basically, I rely on the United States to make a living.

Precisely because this place has a bit of a "European Hollywood" feel, many French or European paparazzi reporters appeared around the Vivendi Building.

This is normal.

For example, paparazzi reporters are flies. Those celebrities are the rotten eggs they love to chase.

Where there are rotten eggs, there will naturally be flies.

Not even Vivendi Global Group can stop this situation.

The French are used to being free-spirited.

For the French, even the French capitalists often don’t have a good solution.

After all, this is an old area of ​​the Revolutionary Revolution, and they take to the streets at every turn. Their combat effectiveness in this area is still among the best in Europe and the United States.

In any case, it is much better than its American and British counterparts, who are struggling with Fela.

But today, the paparazzi who originally wanted to take pictures of European celebrities discovered another strange thing.

That is Mr. Jean-Marie Messier, the first person in the European entertainment industry and the CEO of Vivendi Universal Group.

At about ten o'clock in the morning.

He actually appeared outside the square of the Vivendi Building with several senior executives of the group.

This made the paparazzi instantly excited after being surprised.

Jean-Marie Messier

I have been writing 20,000 words a day for fifty consecutive days. In the past few days, my hands have begun to hurt. I went to the hospital in the morning and was told that it was mild hand fasciitis. I just typed too much on the keyboard with my fingers, and my fingers needed to rest properly. So I have been studying voice plus keyboard typing recently, and the speed is much slower.

I've only coded two chapters today, so I'm a bit late. It will be updated later, and it will be updated if you stay up late, but you don't have to wait, it may be later.

These two chapters will be released in advance, and the other two chapters may not be released until midnight. Please read these two chapters first, and read the next two chapters tomorrow.
