America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 410 Becoming a symbol of Americans

Just like Jay-Z and his manager Lidl thought.

When these black men passed multiple security checks.

It was not easy to enter the Staples Center today, the venue for the competition.

Haven't found my seat yet.

Hip-hop superstar Jay-Z and his manager Lid found a large group of people at the core of the huge Staples Center auditorium corridor.

within those people.

It was easy for Jay-Z and Lid to discover the existence of Abel Smith.

Because even the TV broadcast screens in the entire stadium, their current pictures are all in that area.

"Wow, he looks in good shape," Jay-Z whispered to his manager.

Lid nodded slightly.

I saw it on the left side of the arena, which is also the side of the visiting team's dugout.

At least two to three hundred positions have been cleared.

In these positions, there are many Hollywood stars, Grammy Award winners, or some American celebrities who are familiar to Americans.

They were all sitting in that area.

They were like stars over the moon, surrounding a young and tall man in the middle.

And that young, tall, handsome man with a piece of white gauze tied on his head and a pale face.

He is one of the two basketball teams participating in the game today, the owner of the Houston Rockets, the famous Abe Smith!

A few days ago, the central figure in the bomb attack that shocked the United States.

Jay-Z carefully observed Abe Smith's status today.

The black hip-hop superstar discovered that the white guy was still as handsome as ever.

The white gauze was wrapped around the forehead, which did not lose the handsomeness and handsomeness of the other party at all.

The white gauze and slightly pale face made Abel Smith look like a wounded and handsome vampire lord today.

The handsomeness that is no longer as bright as before seems to be easier to attract some women with different hobbies.

Of course, Jay-Z's eyesight isn't that good.

The high-priced scalper ticket bought by the hip-hop superstar is just opposite Abel's area.

From such a distance, it was impossible for Jay-Z to see clearly.

Black hip-hop music superstar Jay-Z made his judgment based on the extremely conspicuous close-up shots of the other party captured and broadcast by the camera on a screen monitor hanging above his head.

"Fake!" Jay-Z whispered to his agent:

"Leed, I think if I had that face, even if I didn't know anything, people in Hollywood would ask me to make movies, just like Leonardo at the beginning!"

"Ha~" Lid responded softly: "Who says it's not the case..."

When two black people carefully and quietly discussed tonight, the absolute core of the Staples Center.

Most of the people on the field were actually discussing each other.

As everyone guessed, Abel disappeared after the bombing.

He actually showed up at Staples Center tonight, right where he happened.

Now even the real fans in the arena don't have much interest in tonight's NBA game.

What fans and viewers are more interested in right now is whether Abe Smith will come out and say something later.

What would he say again.

What everyone is more curious about now is this.

And now, before the game starts.

Everyone can only sit far away.

Watch the close-up on the broadcast screen, or observe from a distance with the naked eye, observing the other person chatting quietly with the two people sitting next to him.

Sitting next to Abel Smith is the league president, David Stern, who is very familiar to NBA fans.

It was this president who first gave the NBA its current achievements and status.

Many fans like David Stern, even if they also call him a vampire and a liar.

Another person close to Abel Smith. In front of the TV, NBA fans watching the live broadcast may not be familiar with it except those in the Los Angeles area.

But most people in Los Angeles are familiar with the man on the other side of Abel.

The man's name was Dick Riordan.

Dick Riordan has been the mayor of Los Angeles from 1994 to the present.

If we talk about former Mayor Tom Bradley, he served as Mayor of Los Angeles from 1973 to 1993.

During this period, Tom Bradley transformed Los Angeles from a suburban city into the second largest city in the United States.

Dick Riordan, the new mayor who took over Tom Bradley's responsibilities, firmly placed Los Angeles as the second largest city in the United States.

A Tom Bradley, a Dick Riordan.

These two mayors are the most popular leaders among local citizens in Los Angeles in modern times.

Today, Dick Riordan, who was born in the Donkey Party and is very popular in the Los Angeles area, is by Abel's side.

In front of the TV, people who didn't know Dick Riordan's identity just thought he was some big shot.

Those who knew Dick Riordan's identity were all speculating on why Dick Riordan appeared next to Abel today.

Because all along, even in private, the relationship between many Donkey Party and Elephant Party bosses has been very good.

But this kind of good relationship often has to be hidden, at least in public.

The reason is that in order to put on a show for their voters, they have to appear incompatible in public.

This is very common in countries with multi-party governance.

Who are those cute and stupid voters, that’s what they are?

In order to get votes, everyone has to be able to act.

Guys who can't act or are not good at acting are really not suitable to be involved in democratically elected politics.

Guys with poor acting skills can only go to Hollywood or other entertainment circles.

Democracy governs this circle, and it is a place where only real Oscar winners can thrive.

due to this reason.

Normally, Dick Riordan, the donkey gang boss.

It should be that the relationship with Abel, a senior Elephant Party supporter who is well-known throughout the country, is not so good.

After all, my father is still the Elephant Party Sheriff of Tarrant County in Texas.

My grandfather was also a well-known senior elephant gang member at that time, and he appeared in public together with George Shrub many times.

Dick Riordan of the Donkey Party, at least in public, must maintain the appearance that his relationship with Abel is not on good terms.

But now, Dick Riordan is not shy about doing this in public.

This reason is enough to make many people fall into contemplation and doubt.

At the scene, Dick Riordan and David Stern.

They ignored the entire audience, nearly 20,000 spectators, celebrities, celebrities, as well as the sights and lenses of media reporters.

They were all talking quietly to Abel.

Mainly Dick Riordan, talking to Abel.

In the NBA league, David Stern seems to have a particularly high position.

In front of these two people, they are more of a compliment and foil.

"Mr. Smith... I have to say. Your presence here today is definitely the best interpretation and embodiment of the light of freedom. Your courage and strong heart should be supported and learned by all Los Angeles people."

Dick Riordan spoke in clichés.

This time Abel Smith was attacked, and the most serious damage and impact was except for the U.S. stock market.

The second most serious thing is the place where the incident occurred, Los Angeles, the second largest city in the United States.

after the incident.

What happened in lower Manhattan happened in downtown Los Angeles.

A large number of high-quality citizens, the elite middle class who are very rich but not really rich enough.

They all began to hesitate because of this attack. Many people began to want to escape downtown Los Angeles near the Staples Center.

Near the Staples Center, the core of downtown Los Angeles, this area has the highest housing prices.

In just two days, it fell by almost 10%.

Former Mayor Tom Bradley spent 20 years developing the entire Los Angeles area.

Dick Riordan's main credit was the development of downtown Los Angeles.

But what if the scene that happened in lower Manhattan also happened in downtown Los Angeles.

It can be said that most of Dick Riordan's greatest achievement was wasted in one fell swoop.

At this time, if Abel Smith, a senior Elephant Party leader, comes out and says something bad about Los Angeles.

Then Dick Riordan must be in even greater trouble.

Affected Angelenos may wonder whether Dick Riordan is up to his job.

Fortunately, not only did Abel not say anything bad about Los Angeles, but he did so within a few days of the incident.

Appearing at the Staples Center.

For Dick Riordan, this is the best support for the mayor.

The favor was reciprocated, and Dick Riordan wanted to move up.

Plus the entire top brass within the Donkey Party.

For a long time, he also wanted to win Abel Smith, who seemed to have no hostility towards the Donkey Party, to his side as much as possible.

After all, many of these super bosses are from different camps.

Like Rockefeller, Morgan, etc...

There are not many people who truly defend a camp to the death.

Of course the Donkey Party thought Abel was like this too.

After communicating with the senior leaders of the Donkey Party.

Dick Riordan took the initiative and showed up at Staples Center today.

At this moment, Dick Riordan was like a lackey.

When talking to Abel, his attitude was so good that it surprised David Stern.

Mr. Mayor stayed with Abel like this, watching today's NBA regular season game.

Face to face with Dick Riordan's clichés.

Abel, who had a very senior makeup artist specially make him look as pale as today, smiled slightly.

In this state and appearance, he showed this smile.

In front of countless TV screens, the female viewers screamed inwardly that they couldn't stand it.

"It is the yearning for freedom and the pursuit of freedom. Our ancestors, with the desire for a new world, appeared on this land with great courage."

When it comes to telling clichés, Abel, who was a Chinese in his previous life, is really not afraid of anyone.

Even if he's not professional, he always talks the same thing when he speaks.

"As a citizen of the United States of America, I will not compromise or surrender to evil and terror as long as I die."

"no way!"

Dick Riordan smiled.

He said without any embarrassment:

"Yes, that's why you are a great person! Los Angeles thanks you, and I thank you very much!"

This guy kept his posture very low and even used honorifics.

It also made Abel admire the cultivation of these senior guests in this area.

As long as it is profitable, for these Zhengzhi animals, it means face, camp and dignity.

Some even have wives and children who are nothing.

Next to him, David Stern kept smiling while listening to the conversation between the two big guys.

It’s just that as time goes by, the game is about to begin.

David Stern had to speak softly to interrupt the conversation between the two bosses.

"Oh, Mr. Smith, and Mr. Riordan..."

David Stern whispered: "Game time is almost here. Mr. Smith, would you like to say a few words?"

This was something that the NBA had discussed with Abel before today.

Abel will be in the NBA tonight at Staples Center for this game.

It was his first public appearance since the attack.

David Stern and the NBA certainly welcome this with both hands and feet.

Looking around, there are at least hundreds of first- and second-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry.

There are also an equally large number of other entertainment celebrities or social celebrities.

They are here, 9/10, because of Abe Smith.

The remaining 1/10 is Dick Riordan.

Tonight, David Stern feels that the NBA will have its highest ratings night in history.

The key to this, league executives unanimously believe, lies in Abel Smith.

Abel at the Staples Center.

Whether he will speak at Staples Center tonight will play a decisive role in the ratings.

David Stern naturally hopes that Abel will speak to the public today and say more.

As agreed, David Stern reminded Abel that it was time to say something to the public.

Facing David Stern’s reminder, Abel smiled and nodded.

David Stern waved back excitedly.

His closest subordinate, former special assistant and current NBA vice president Adam Silver, handed over the microphone like an errand boy.

Taking the microphone, David Stern made a few gestures.

The behind-the-scenes control center of the Staples Center broadcast also connected the sound signal.

Soon David Stern's voice was amplified through the device.

Appeared in the somewhat noisy Staples Center Arena.

"Dear gentlemen and ladies, I am very happy that you can appear at the Staples Center tonight."

"I am David Stern, and you may all know me. Before the game starts, Mr. Abel Smith, the symbol of the light of freedom and the world's number one philanthropist, would like to say something to everyone on this occasion. "

"Now, I hope that all Americans can applaud one of our American spiritual symbols, our Mr. Abel Smith!!"

After David Stern's excited voice ended, the president held the microphone in front of the camera and applauded hard.

The nearly 20,000 spectators at Staples Center today applauded him very much.

Jay-Z and his manager Lidl. Just like other entertainment superstars, they stood up and took the lead in applauding.

The deafening applause made the entire Staples Center seem to resonate.

This is the biggest applause ever in the history of this famous West Coast entertainment center that just opened a few years ago!

Under the eyes of everyone and the deafening applause.

Abel, with a white gauze on his head and a smile on his face, took the microphone from David Stern.

"Good evening."

"A few months ago, our fellow citizens, our lives, and the freedoms we cherish came under a deliberate attack."

"Many hijacked passengers and staff at work were unfortunately killed."

"They may be: secretaries, businessmen, women, military or federal government personnel, parents, relatives, friends or neighbours."

"Thousands of people suddenly lost their precious lives due to despicable and criminal acts. Faced with pictures of plane crashes, raging fires, and collapsed buildings, we cannot believe the tragedy before our eyes and feel extremely sad and angry."

"Their acts of mass killing are designed to lead our country and our lives into chaos and regression."

"But their plot will not succeed. Our country remains strong, and great Americans have been mobilized to defend their country."

"The fate that happened to thousands of people a few days ago has happened to me personally."

"And what I want to say now is-"

"In the past, they couldn't succeed. Now, they can't succeed either."

"Here, I want to say a word to all Americans and all people in the world who pursue peace, seed oil, and cooking."

"That is--"

"No matter what the difficulties and dangers are, it cannot scare the heroic Americans!"

The backstage at Staples Center cooperated very well and turned the sound of the live broadcast and broadcasting equipment to the maximum when Abel said the last words.

The effect is when Abel's speech reaches the next sentence.

His rich voice, like the applause just now, became deafening.

It was like a declaration, a declaration made at Staples Center.

By suddenly increasing his voice, Abel's last words were broadcast live across the United States today.

It also played a shocking role in front of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of TV viewers across the United States.

“No difficulty is too great for heroic Americans.”

This sentence was broadcast on television, and in seconds, through the mouth of Abel Smith, it was transmitted to the entire United States.

Officials in various aspects in the United States have been whitewashing the situation for almost two years.

The new beacon of the Free Beacon, Abel, who has experienced this attack, after this evening.

He has truly become one of the symbols of America.

Compared with these.

Tonight, two NBA teams play at the Staples Center.

Even to the NBA itself, they are no longer important.

And this is why Abel is willing to appear at the Staples Center tonight.
