America's Road to Wealth

Long Island has always been the back garden of New York's rich.

On the land of the city with every inch of land and the skyline that is constantly being refreshed, it is possible to own a luxurious manor surrounded by lush forests, breathe the smell of soil every day, and listen to the sound of dew falling from the leaves. Such a leisurely "slow life" is undoubtedly a luxury.

A luxury that only the rich can enjoy.

Seeing that Abel's attention was all on herself, Keira nodded in satisfaction, "The address has been chosen, let's hold it at No. 227 Swan Wharf in Great Neck, it's big enough and beautiful. By the way, My dear, why are there so many donkeys and elephants in the invitation list for the reception you prepared this time? Didn’t you declare to the public that this is mainly a gathering of the financial industry? There are so many people from both parties, it may make the banquet changing in nature."

It can be said that Keira admires her boyfriend very much for his methods and means of manipulating politics.

This time Abel took the initiative to provoke trouble, which not only made him jump out of the original elephant party framework, but now it has become an existence where both sides are trying to win over.

Both sides are now avoiding him leaning towards the other side.

It can be said that in this regard, my boyfriend maximized his own interests this time.

For Kayla Wilson, who was born in a consortium in California, this is even more admirable than Aber making $10 billion at a time.

This is mainly because the California consortium is too weak in this regard.

Occupying such a good piece of land in California, the energy and military industries are terribly strong, and the influence on the local area is not even comparable to the local donkeys and elephants...

There are so many consortiums in the United States, and the California consortium ranks second to last in terms of local control, so no one can grab the last one.

It seems that Zhengzhi is born to be the weakness of the California consortium.

Now Abel has shown talent in this area again, and he is almost invincible in business.

How can this not make the California princess more popular.

"It's okay, although it used to be bad. But it's okay now. Now they are all begging me. Hey, according to the previous newspaper, I am now one of the best manifestations of American cooking and seed oil."

Abel shook his head and smiled noncommittally:

"Besides, most of the invited guests are from the financial industry. Except for the end of last year, I haven't held a reception in New York in my own name until now. Little Laura is not here, so you can only host it for me."

"As I said, don't mention her in front of me." Keira said angrily.

Abel looked at Keira, who gave him a blank look, with the curvature of her mouth, knowing that she was very happy and useful, which undoubtedly represented that her relationship with him had entered a new stage.

a stable stage.

Keira was naturally very happy and excited about this. This was the first time for her to host such a high-level reception and dinner as the hostess, and it was still in New York, or Wall Street, and there were donkeys and elephants participating!

She felt that if she was in California, even if she got her wish to take the place of her father, there was a high probability that she would not be able to hold a banquet of this level.

Wall Street does not bird the California consortium, and the California consortium is not valued by donkeys and elephants.

In the United States, many times the California consortium has little say. They are powerful and rich, but their voices have always been small.

In this regard, it is even inferior to Florida, which does not raise idlers...

In contrast, people who are very similar to California in many ways, but actually weaker than California, have a terrible voice in the United States.

The last time she accompanied Abel to a banquet in Washington, Kayla felt that she had given herself the limelight in the media, especially in the California circle.

She felt that this time was better, as the hostess, it was even more powerful than last time!

Of course, this reception is also very important to Abel.

He not only invited his Wall Street friends, but also important personnel from Donkey and Elephant, in order to take this opportunity to ease the impact of the incident he caused at the end of last month.

Even if he is the leader, he has to make it clear to the donkey and the elephant that his position will not change at will.

In order not to intensify the conflict with the donkey and the elephant, let them deal with themselves.

Even if this possibility is very low, it is always necessary to take precautions.

...

...

Keira is indeed similar to Ikana, a fighter among women, with a strong career and ambition, and a strong woman character.

For two consecutive nights, she was tossed very hard, but she still struggled to get up on the second day and must go to work.

"I'm the general manager. If even I, the general manager of Wells Fargo Bank, took the lead in asking for leave, what would it be like?"

This is what she told Abel.

Abel thought to himself that you are not a manager, at most you are just a regional president.

But Kaila is very persistent, even if her eyelids are fighting, she must go to work.

Abel wanted to pull her to have another breakfast, but was rejected, saying that he would make up for him when he came back at night.

After breakfast, Abel sent Keira to work, and then came to Smith Tower.

in the office.

Abel quickly browsed through the briefings sent by various companies. There was a stack of today’s newspapers on the desk at hand. The top one was the financial section. Influence".

This undoubtedly makes Canadians seem a little dumbfounded. A large number of people have recently begun to worry about queuing up to withdraw money and buy things.

And these situations were already analyzed by Abel and his subordinates, so they would not be surprised. Instead, it was a piece of news from the European entertainment edition, which made Abel quite concerned.

The marriage of the Italian national treasure goddess Monica Bellucci and the French talent Vincent Cassel is on the red light. A reporter took pictures of the two arguing.

In fact, since the two countries have separated in the past two years, speculation about the relationship between the two has never stopped.

He picked it up and looked at it, but there were no details in the newspaper.

But Abel knew that there was a high probability that this had something to do with him.

The taste of the Italian national treasure goddess is very good.

That time in the garden, Monica "played" so well with herself.

At that time, I even let her talk to her husband in a wicked way, and I deliberately made the voice so loud.

As long as Vincent Cassel was a man with a normal IQ, he would feel something unusual at that time.

Abel remembered it as if Monica had promised her husband that she would help out with the role.

At that time, Vincent Cassel probably considered this, so he pretended not to know.

Now why is this Frenchman quarreling with his Italian national treasure-level goddess wife?

Thinking of this, Abel was a little curious, and asked David to come in to find Monica's contact information, and then called her.

But it didn't connect, it seems to be busy. David later confirmed that Monica Bellucci was filming with several European actresses in Europe at this time.

The fashion documentary that Abel got them started shooting this month, in September.

She and Sophie are all busy.

That being the case, Abel put aside his curiosity a little bit and started his work.

As Abel owns more and more companies, he now spends more time reading the briefings every day. Sometimes, when he sees some content in the briefings, he has to directly pick up the phone to inquire about the parties involved.

This management mode has freed up his own time to a large extent, but now it still takes about four or five hours a day to finish processing, usually two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon, and occasionally look at it in the evening, which has become the norm .

Of course, it is incomparable with workaholics such as the CEO of General Electric who wakes up at 4:30 in the morning to read the briefing at 4:30 in the morning and works 100 hours a week.

"The scariest thing in this world is that people who are richer than you work harder than you!"

Well, this is true, but in Abel's view, busyness cannot be equated with hard work or hard work. Being busy must be based on a strategic vision and a platform, otherwise it can only be "poor and busy" and fall into the vicious cycle of getting busier and poorer-the poorer and busier.

In this, the platform can be said to be very important.

The old horse said that he works 16 hours a day in the company, sometimes more than 20 hours.

Sounds very hard-working, scarier than 996. But have you ever thought that the old horse doesn't have to work as hard as you when he works in the company.

When people are tired, they can directly rest in the extremely luxurious private office, and let the masseuses come directly to the SPA to relax their bodies.

It is said that I work 20 hours a day, and the real work may be at most four or five hours.

Similarly, the crazy work hours of other successful people that the media brags about contain water to some extent.

Abel is not making excuses for only working 4 or 5 hours a day.

He feels that he has a pair of eyes that can see through the future, strategy is his greatest reliance, and doing everything by himself will become a nightmare instead.

A successful person also needs to have one thing, that is, self-knowledge.

If you don't know it, like after 2021, the boss of a domestic car brand will put his daughter in charge and produce a lot of cars.

As a result, the sales volume of this brand fell from the top three in China to the seventh or eighth in two years...

This is a sign of lack of self-knowledge.

Whether Abel is busy or not is a matter of opinion. Some would say that he wasn't busy at all, because the only thing he did all day was read briefings. What's more, he thinks that he spends most of his time with women...

Well, if you have to say that, Abel has no choice but to say with a sneer: "I don't need to stay up late to become the richest man in the world. No matter how hard you stay up late, you will only get dark circles under your eyes."

Abel, who was not busy, sorted out the briefing, opened the drawer and put it away, then shook the mouse with his hand, picked up the phone and prepared to hold a video conference call, and continued to pay attention to his shorting of the Canadian dollar.

At this time, the mobile phone he used to call Monica Bellucci just now rang.

Abel picked it up and saw that it was a number from Europe, which was Monica's phone number.

You must be busy, right?

As he thought about it, he casually answered the call from the Italian national treasure goddess.

"Ciao, dear Monica, have you finally called me back? I've been waiting anxiously." Abel responded with a smile.

"ciao" is the most common way of saying "hi" or "hello" in Italian.

But sometimes "ciao" can also be translated as "goodbye", depending on the context in which it is spoken.

Abel doesn't speak Italian, but there is a simple way of saying hello in the languages ​​of major European countries.

For example, "Bungy Pig" in French, "Guterntack" in German, etc., he has learned it specially.

This is one of the suggestions given to him by his advisory group.

When interacting with Europeans, occasional greetings like this can reduce the psychological defense of the other party, which is a small detail in the psychology of the business environment.

"You can't use "ciao" when you call to greet, you should say "pronto". But it is your Italian teacher's job to correct your Italian speech. What can I do, Mr. Smith?"

From the microphone of the mobile phone, Monica's somewhat resentful voice came.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just want to care about you. The main reason is that I saw the news about your quarrel with Vincent Caso in today's newspaper. I'm a little worried about you, so I called to ask."

"Hehehe..." Monica Bellucci's sneer came from over there, and then she continued to voice with some resentment:

"Why did I quarrel with Vincent? In terms of reasons, Mr. Smith, you should be somewhat self-aware, right?"

"Okay, okay." Abel smiled. After all, he played with others. He said with a smile:

"It's all my fault. I asked just now and said that there is already a good role for your husband. Why does he still quarrel with you?"

Abel was curious about this. Vincent Cassel probably knew about himself and his wife.

For the role and acting career, the Frenchman can bear it for so long.

It doesn't make sense. You just got the role now, so you can't bear it?

The play hasn't been filmed yet, but the role can be canceled at any time.

"call……"

Abel heard Monica take a deep breath.

"Mr. Smith, do you really want to know why?"

"If you are willing to tell, then I want to know. If you are not willing to tell, then it doesn't matter if I don't know."

This is Abel's honest words, he just had a gossip mental episode, plus looking at the beautiful pictures of Monica Bellucci in the newspaper pictures.

He somewhat missed the perfect body of the Italian national treasure goddess.

So the main purpose of making the call just now was to get her to come to the United States and come to New York.

After all, in New York, he only had Keira and the Hurst sisters now, and he was a little confused.

Monica, who is overflowing with femininity, became a member of the "fire fighting team" he planned to get for himself.

As for filming or something, you can ask for leave or postpone it. It is very easy for him, the big boss, to nod.

"Well, since you want to know, then I'll tell you."

In her voice, Abel heard her seem to be relieved.

"The reason why Vincent quarreled with me was not because...it wasn't because I did that kind of thing with you!"

Hearing what she said, Abel became even more curious. Even this kind of thing can be tolerated, and the role has been obtained, so why does Vincent Cassel quarrel with his wife?

"The reason why he quarreled with me was because I was pregnant! And the child is not his yet!"

Oh, this is the reason. His wife is pregnant, and the child is not his own. No wonder Vincent Cassel was so angry that he quarreled with her.

Compared with the former kind of thing, the latter matter is indeed more intolerable for men.

Wait, Monica is pregnant?

"The child's father is..." Abel thought of a possibility.

"Who else could it be? Dear Mr. Smith, your female bodyguard has been by my side since you took me away! I can't fool around with other men at all!"

The voice from Monica Bellucci's side became even more bitter.
