America's Road to Wealth

A wealthy family is like a circle. It goes around and around, but in the end, the circle is filled with its own people.

For example, in parallel time and space, there was a female student at Stanford University a few years later.

Instead of studying at Stanford University, she went to study like Bill Gates and dropped out of school halfway.

After dropping out of school, he opened a blood testing company in California.

This female entrepreneur claims that the new product developed by her blood testing company can perform hundreds of different physical tests with only a needle, a drop of blood, and a cheap examination fee.

She claimed that compared with the traditional method, which often requires drawing a small bottle of blood and expensive to conduct a single test, her innovative method obviously has more commercial prospects.

At first glance, this statement violates basic physiological common sense and should have no market.

But this female entrepreneur has grown her company to a valuation of US$9 billion in just a few years.

Because she owns more than half of the shares, her net worth once reached US$4.5 billion.

She also formed a very prominent board of directors for her company.

There are more than one former US Secretary of State on this board of directors.

There are also more than one former Secretary of Defense of the United States.

There are former U.S. senators, there are former U.S. Navy admirals, there are still more than one...

There is also the former CEO of Wells Fargo, the media tycoon Rupert Murdoch, the former CEO of Beechtel...

Except for herself, every member of the board of directors of her company is a prominent figure in the United States.

However, this kind of technology that can only be realized in science fiction movies and novels is of course impossible to achieve in reality.

In the end, the female entrepreneur and her company were proven to be a scam.

She "swindled" a large number of powerful people, as well as many wealthy people and investment companies out of more than one billion dollars in real money.

It stands to reason that he has deceived such a large group of big guys and their money.

In a place like the United States, she would definitely disappear physically and physically after using all the things she had.

Being shot eight times in the back, being hit by a car while walking on the street, etc., should all happen.

But this fraud case took several years from discovery to sentencing.

During this period, not only was she not imprisoned, she even got married and had a baby while she was appealing.

None of the big guys who were deceived by her have come forward to pursue the case.

Until shortly before Abel was reborn.

She was sentenced to 11 years and 3 months in prison for defrauding investors.

The kind that serves a sentence in a private prison.

The private prison where she served her sentence happened to be run by her husband.

It was just opened, she was the first one, and later proved to be the only prisoner.

The detailed address of this private prison with only one person happened to be a mansion owned by her husband.

This woman's name is Elizabeth Holmes.

And now, this is the future "female version of Steve Jobs" who is only 18 years old.

Tonight, she accompanied her father to the banquet of the Morgenthal family in New York.

When her father took the initiative to socialize with the big guys at the banquet.

Elizabeth herself was smiling brightly and chatting quietly with Abel's fiancée Laura Bush.

"Oh, Laura. You are so enviable. Look at your future husband. He is like a cosmic black hole in this hall. Everyone is attracted to him!"

Elizabeth was the same age as little Laura and was only a few months older.

Little Laura is currently studying at New York University's Manhattan campus.

Elizabeth studied at Stanford University in California.

The two schools are in the east and the other in the west, and Elizabeth is not from Texas.

But they don't look unfamiliar at all now.

This is because the two have known each other since they were very young.

Elizabeth lives in Washington, District of Columbia, a city with a special status in this country.

When little Laura was a child, she lived with her grandparents in the white house for four years.

The reason for the friendly relationship between his parents and the family is that the Holmes family lives very close to the White House.

The two of them were playmates and friends when they were children.

As a DC person, I can have such a good relationship with someone who lives in a white house.

The identity of Elizabeth's parents naturally makes it impossible for them to be ordinary people.

Her family tree includes Charles Louis Fleischmann, who founded the Fleischmann Yeast Company, and Dr. Christian Holmes, who founded Cincinnati General Hospital and the University of Cincinnati College of Medicine.

Elizabeth's father held a series of positions from the U.S. Academy of Sciences to the Agency for International Development, and also served as the vice president of Enron.

As a senior Pentagon official, he planned and implemented the transformation of the US military from a conscription system to a fully volunteer service system.

Elizabeth's mother works in the U.S. Congress and is also from a well-known family.

Her family ancestry can even be traced back to one of Napoleon's top field generals, Marshal Davot.

It looks more impressive than a shrub that can only be traced back to a family of lumberjacks in England.

With such an identity, she was naturally qualified to be friends with little Laura who lived in the white house at the time.

Hearing Elizabeth's words, he looked at her fiancé who was talking with a group of old people not far away.

Little Laura smiled lightly:

"I've always had good luck, Elizabeth, you know that. When we were kids, we learned to fish together, and I always caught more than you."

Little Laura knows, don’t look at Elizabeth, who is now sticking to her like a good best friend.

But in fact, this guy had never thought highly of himself before.

When she was a child, little Laura even heard her friends in Washington say it.

It is said that when Elizabeth was a child, after her grandfather failed to be re-elected, she once said happily to her friends: "The country bumpkin from Texas is finally back!"

All along, little Laura knew that Elizabeth was jealous of her.

Jealous that I can live in a white house.

It was before, it is now... Looking at Elizabeth's eyes, little Laura knew it was the same.

It's just that on this occasion, the two of them were childhood playmates.

Elizabeth was so enthusiastic and proactive, so she couldn't be too rude.

"Yes, you are always blessed by luck."

Elizabeth felt that her emotions were well hidden.

She looked at Abel in the distance, and then at little Laura.

I think Abel is tall, handsome, and dazzling at the same time.

He also felt that little Laura was not as beautiful as him, her figure was not as good as hers, and her background...if she hadn't produced two great commanders, that would be it.

Elizabeth felt that most of herself was better than little Laura.

That small part can be regarded as equal between the two sides.

But this little Laura has a fiancé who is so outstanding that the whole United States is paying attention.

And what about yourself?

Apart from a similar background, I have nothing now!

A potential marriage partner chosen by the family turns out to be a family that runs a chain of private prisons! !

Although private prisons in the United States are chain-linked, they are actually very profitable and must be very powerful.

But no matter how much money is made, this industry is rarely exposed and has little glory.

If it's not comparable to Little Laura's Abe, then it's okay, at least it's pretty awesome.

As long as Elizabeth is compared with little Laura's Abel, she will feel unbalanced from the bottom of her heart.

In Elizabeth's view, their fiancés were like a paradise and a hell.

But now, the situation is stronger than the people. Elizabeth knew that it was best for her to please this bush chick that she had hated since childhood!

What's more, because of Abel, Elizabeth decided to drop out of school and start a business earlier than in parallel time and space.

In her heart, she was currently thinking of getting closer to Abel through little Laura.

I want to get angel investment and support from Abel.

In this way, no matter what kind of entrepreneurship you do, you will get twice the result with half the effort.

Think about the startups and entrepreneurial projects that the world’s richest man is optimistic about.

This name alone is enough to attract any investor and any wealthy person in the world to join!

Of course.

It would be even better if Abel could be snatched away from that annoying little Laura!

Elizabeth felt that if she could do this.

Even his parents and family will definitely support him fully.

Instead of letting yourself be with someone who runs a prison!

"Laura, unlike you who are blessed by luck. I am not so lucky."

Elizabeth smiled bitterly, trying to look pitiful.

"My fiancé will most likely be John from the Cox family..."

Cox is a relatively rare surname in the United States, but there is a very famous Cox family.

This family owns Cox Enterprises, one of the media giants. It ranks around 14th or 15th among private companies in the United States.

But little Laura knew that the Cox Elizabeth was talking about was not the Cox of Cox Enterprises, but the Cox family that specialized in chain private prisons on the east coast of the United States.

The two are actually related, with the latter also having a small stake in Cox Enterprises.

But the two parties separated a long time ago and cannot be confused.

It's a bit like the current relationship between the branches of the Mellon family.

They all have the same ancestors and are also relatives, but they have already lived their own lives.

Since the Cox family can open a private chain of prisons, it means that this family has a strong presence on the official level.

Otherwise, they would not be able to do such a profitable private prison business.

Little Laura knew John Cox and knew that this was a wealthy family similar to the Holmes family.

They all live in DC, and little Laura saw them when she was little.

"What about John Cox? That's not bad. His evaluation is very good in our circle. He is a stable person." Little Laura said softly with a smile.

Elizabeth curled her lips inwardly.

John Cox is qualified to marry Holmes, and his family is certainly not bad.

It is roughly the same as Holmes, or a shrub with only one leader.

After two great commanders, the Shrub family has risen in class and is slightly higher than them.

The problem is that Elizabeth's character is naturally pushy.

If she marries John Cox in the future, she will most likely no longer be able to be in the spotlight.

Those who run prisons, whether they are private chains, try their best to stay out of the news.

Elizabeth thought about continuing to act pitiful, building a good relationship with little Laura, and then using little Laura as a springboard to contact Abel.

Because she was mainly thinking about Abel, before talking to little Laura, she subconsciously looked ahead, in the direction of Abel.

It was okay not to look at it, but after taking a look, Elizabeth couldn't help but scream out softly.

"Oh, OMG, Laura, look over there! It's David Rockefeller and John Chris Morgan!"

It turned out that the social circle of Abel, who was admired by the stars, was surrounded by an equally large circle.

In the middle of that circle, the two leaders were surprisingly the two oligarchs John Chris Morgan and David Rockefeller.

"99 out of 100 banquets on the East Coast will have rumors that these two will come. But in fact, they will only show up once or twice at most!"

"I heard that these two would show up tonight, but I didn't expect these two to actually show up tonight!"

After talking about it, Elizabeth's tone became very excited.

Fortunately, she also knew that she couldn't scream loudly in this situation, so she kept her voice down.

"Really?" Little Laura smiled lightly again:

"But I heard that whenever Abel appears at a banquet hosted by a wealthy family on the east coast, the probability of these two appearing is 100%. I don't know if that's true."

Elizabeth was stunned. At first, she silently calculated the probability.

Later Elizabeth realized that this was not an arithmetic problem at all.

This is the Xiaobi next to him making a pool, showing off to himself.

Elizabeth's defense was broken, her expression became extremely bad, and she felt like she couldn't continue acting.

"That's it. Elizabeth, it's nice to see you tonight. But I have to go talk to the other ladies."

At this time, little Laura also said goodbye to her at the right time, and then slowly walked towards the ladies' circle in the other direction.

It was the ladies and ladies of the Morgenthau family who entertained the circle of female family members brought by the real bigwigs at the banquet tonight.

Elizabeth had just come out of that circle.

Within that circle, young Elizabeth belonged to the outer periphery.

I can only stay with the smiling face the whole time and listen to the ladies talking.

Elizabeth didn't like the feeling of playing a supporting role. After seeing little Laura just now, she ran out immediately.

"Fake's poop turned a pool..."

Elizabeth cursed secretly when she saw the circle of top ladies that made her feel a sense of escape just now.

After little Laura walked over.

Like peacocks, they took the initiative to greet little Laura.

A large group of people, like blooming flowers, surrounded little Laura.

At a glance, it was clear that little Laura was the center of the circle, one of the few people who were flattered, flattered, and envied among the petals.

"Fak, Shet, Fak, Shet!!"

Elizabeth's defenses were completely broken and she was filled with resentment. She ignored her father who was still socializing and turned around and walked outside.

Not to mention Elizabeth who fled in anger.

Abel's side.

"What are you talking about that makes everyone so happy?"

In the two merged circles, David Rockefeller came over with a glass of red wine and joined in with a smile.

"We are talking about the New York Yankees and the New York Giants. Mr. Newhouse just promised that Mr. Steinbrenner will sell the Yankees to Mr. Smith. After all, George is old."

An old man who looks somewhat similar to David Mellon but is not young said with a smile.

"Oh, the Yankees? That's my favorite team, but I don't like that guy Steinbrenner. If Mr. Smith really buys it, I guarantee I will appear in Yankee Stadium. "

Yankee Stadium is the home stadium of the New York Yankees. It is located opposite McCombsdale Park in the Bronx, New York City. It was built in 1923.

The speaker was the younger John Chris Morgan.

This core figure of the Morgen family is said to have just gained control of the family a few years ago.

He is considered to be the youngest head of a family in the top circle of American wealthy families. He seems to be in his fifties.

The premise is to ignore someone who is only 22 years old this year.

"Hahaha--"

"That's what I said just now."

The first old man to reply responded to John Chris Morgan with a smile.

The old man’s name is Depp Mellon. He is the head of the Mellon family in New York and one of the important figures in the Mellon family in the United States.

He has a son named David Mellon...

Looking at the two guys looking at him, Abel smiled:

"If Mr. Steinbrenner is really willing to part ways, as Mr. Newhouse said, I will certainly be willing to fulfill your gentlemen's wishes and go to Yankee Stadium with you to watch the game."

When Abel talked about himself, Shiyi Newhouse immediately smiled and said:

"Hahaha, I think George will definitely not refuse. He also wants gentlemen to appear at Yankee Stadium. Even if he is no longer the owner there at that time."

Newhouse's words made everyone laugh, including Shiyi Newhouse.

Everyone seemed to be smiling happily.

George Steinbrenner, who probably was not present, or was not qualified to be present, would most likely not be able to laugh after hearing the news.

Just a native leopard from Ohio.

He just happened to be embraced by the Newhouse family and was able to make a name for himself in New York.

In the eyes of ordinary people, he may already be one of the top rich people.

But in this circle, George Steinbrenner's status is roughly the same as that of Ikana's father who never met Abel.

They all appear at banquets of this level, and they can easily be regarded as clowns, the kind that everyone makes fun of.

After laughing for a while, David Rockefeller smiled, still cordially, and smiled at everyone:

"Sorry guys, Abel, I think we should talk."

"Haha, of course, I'm looking forward to it. Sorry, everyone, excuse me."

Abel smiled and raised his glass with everyone. After taking a sip, he nodded to little Laura who was not far away.

Then he and the two old guys slowly walked up to the second floor under the watchful eyes of interested people.

In the study room with simple and heavy decoration.

Abel, David Rockefeller, and John Chris Morgan sat across a small round table in a triangle shape, sitting opposite each other on comfortable chairs with semicircular backs.

"Thank you. But I don't smoke..."

Abel declined the cigars baked by David Rockefeller and shook his head with a smile.

If other people knew about this scene, even the heads of wealthy families would be very surprised.

The core figure of the Rockefeller family, specializes in roasting cigars...

Even the commander-in-chief of the United States or the chairman of the Federal Reserve would never dare to refuse.

"Ha, it's true. Everyone says Mr. Smith doesn't smoke, and it seems to be true."

John Chris Morgan said with a smile.

David Rockefeller didn't look angry either. He took the cigar back and smoked it himself instead of toasting it for John Cleese.

The latter is already roasting by itself.

"Young man, we don't have to beat around the bush. How about we do a share exchange? We want shares of Smith Financial Group."

David Rockefeller, who lit his cigar, squinted his eyes slightly amid the smoke and spoke straight to the point.
