Chapter 36 Someone else's child
Manhattan, Midtown Hilton hotel, gold-plated banquet hall.
Somewhere in the ballroom,
A white man in his forties held a glass of wine, his lips moving to where D. Ted Lerner was sitting in the corner.
"Look, look. The Wolf of Wall Street is coming."
The speaker was surrounded by four people, all over forty years old. Two of them were old white men with gray hair.
"Ha~ This is the first time I heard of him attending such a party."
One of the gray-haired white men, about sixty years old, smiled and said:
"What did he see in Barron Hilton? Or was he interested in Hilton?"
"It's unclear. Baron Hilton controls Hilton very well. It's difficult for outsiders to break through his densely arranged defenses. Even if someone is interested in Hilton, it's difficult to succeed."
"Right. By the way, William, why don't you go talk to him? This is a rare opportunity and next time it won't be easy to meet him again."
William Rhodes, after whom he was named, was also an old white man with gray hair.
The two people who spoke were both the oldest of the five people.
William Rhodes shook his head slightly, then nodded slightly and looked at the person who spoke:
"John, if you think I should go talk to him. I'll go, otherwise I won't."
Hearing William Rhodes say, John Reed frowned slightly:
"William, if you say that, everyone will think I'm the dictator at Citigroup. But that's not the case, and if I were a dictator, I wouldn't resign next month. "
"Of course I didn't mean that.
But at least until next month, dear John, you're the chairman of Citigroup.
I'm just a senior manager, and contacting him would be more effective than contacting me. " William Rhodes said indifferently. John Reed looked a little angrily at the three other colleagues watching the broadcast.
John Reed said angrily: "Don't tell me, you don't want to go talk to him."
"Hahaha~ Of course not, we really want to go contact him."
The middle-aged white man who spoke first and was also the youngest among the five people present smiled and said:
"It's just that this person's personality is very strange, we think it's best to wait and see."
"Blinken? What do you think?"
Brin Bulley, nominated by the youngest middle-aged white man to be chief financial officer of Lehman Brothers Investment Bank.
Bryn Bulley laughed and shook his head, responding to the younger Charlie Schaff:
"I think so. The rest of Wall Street thinks so. But people outside of Wall Street don't think so. »
"Look, Lerner and his daughter are dancing happily with the wolf."
Hearing what Bryn Bulley said, all the big guys on Wall Street looked in that direction.
They also actually saw famous New York MD Ted Lerner and his daughter.
There, I was happy to chat with the person everyone was focusing on. At this time,
Charlie Schaff, the youngest to speak first, suddenly said:
"I've made up my mind. I'm going to go talk to Lerner. He has a line of credit owing to Merrill Lynch that's due next month. I want to know when he's going to pay it off."
After speaking, the youngest of the Wall Street presidents.
He shook his glass of red wine and went there. Brin Bully looked at his back and couldn't help but curse in a low voice—
"DAMN! Who doesn't know there isn't a bank in New York where D. Ted Lerner doesn't owe money!"
Then Lehman Brothers' financial director also walked over with a glass of red wine without saying a word.
Of the remaining three,
John Reid and William Rhodes of Citigroup,
Looking at the five people together, Sally Winston, president of PNC Financial Services Group, remained silent.
Sally Winston shrugged at the two Citibank giants, following them without a word.
Waiting for the three of them to go a little further away, William Rhodes couldn't help but say:
"Is it necessary for a little Dixie to have succeeded so many times?"
"Even though it's little Dixie, it's definitely worth considering. Let's go, William, let's go too. »John Reed shook his head and said.
John Reed, who is about to step down as chairman of Citigroup, followed suit.
One of the key executives taking over, Citigroup's William Rhodes, couldn't help but keep up.
on the other hand.
".Hello, my name is D. Ikana Lerner."
"My name is Abel Smith, Miss Lerner, good evening."
"."
Abel was the one who introduced Dr. Ted Lerner's daughter.
Before I knew it, I was being noticed by some of the Wall Street alligators attending today's party.
At this moment, he looked at Lena's daughter in front of him.
This Ikana girl is about the same age as Paris Hilton over there.
Under 20, over 18. Compared to the slightly more elegant Paris, the D·Ikana Lerner in front of her looks more dignified.
The Ikana's silhouette is clearly much better, and the headlights of such a young car are already impressive.
D·Ikana Lerner is very famous among New York celebrities.
This is "the typical child of someone else's family". Even for the children of rich families, he is also an example for many wealthy parents in raising their children. It is said that at the age of thirteen, she entered MIT Business School on her own merit.
At age fifteen, he left MIT and entered the Wharton School of Business for graduate studies.
Sixteen years old, working.
Everyone thought she would work at her father's company.
Who would have thought that D. Ikana Lerner will enter the modeling world, joining the American Elite Modeling Company and becoming a model.
At that time, his behavior was somewhat unusual among New York celebrities and was criticized by many people.
Many eccentric people said: "Sure enough she is D. Ted Lerner's daughter!"
But D. Ikana Lerner was only in the modeling world for a year and founded her own clothing brand at the age of seventeen. In just two years, D. Ikana Lerner's clothing brand "Miss Ikana" has opened more than 50 chain stores across America.
Not long ago, D. Ikana Lerner, who was valued by Goldman Sachs at a market value of $1.1 billion, became one of the youngest rich people with a net worth of more than a billion dollars.
She started her own business and had childhood experiences. It immediately became an example that parents in wealthy New York and even wealthy America as a whole liked to use to educate their children.
A rich and distinctly American version of the "other."
Although like her father, she is able to continue her current career because she relies on her father.
But know that D. Ikana Lerner is only nineteen years old at this time. Also nineteen, Paris Hilton won't be staying with her beloved grandfather until she's nineteen.
Other rich ladies and young men still drive sports cars to go to clubs or other entertainment activities.
D·Ikana Lerner is only 19 years old, but he is already the founder and president of a clothing brand company worth $1.1 billion.
The difference is quite obvious.
The key looks and figure aren't bad at all and it's actually a clear trend among wealthy families in New York. The opposite of his father.
His father was a scoundrel among the wealthy in New York.
Looking at his appearance and figure, Abel was willing to talk a few more words with him.
It's just that someone wants to talk to him more, like...
A friendly voice interjected.
"Oh, dear Ted, it's so nice to meet you!"
This is Charlie Schaff. (end of this chapter)
