Chapter 60: Manhattan District Attorney
A scene in Hollywood,
Not 800 times a day, at least 400, 500 times we fight openly and secretly.
Liv Tyler and Sarah Michelle Gellar's breakup.
But for the guests on the train or Ovitz, they don't care about such things.
Since getting on the boat, this means accepting the rules.
If you agree to the rules, you must act according to the rules. If you violate the rules, then in this circle you will be banned to a certain extent.
You can choose not to come, you can choose to decline.
At most, it's just a wasted opportunity.
But if you come and want to stop midway.
Punishment is inevitable and often unacceptable. To comply with the rules, Ovitz and the others did not care what they wanted to do.
The current conflict between Liv and Sarah is one that follows the rules.
They really don't care.
Among actresses, they are interested in this.
It's fun to watch from the sidelines, see the jokes and see the tips. To put it bluntly, it's a ploy between women.
on the other hand.
Abel didn't know that when he wasn't there.
Ms. Liv Taylor, a famous tea ceremony master, began her tea ceremony performance.
He and Bloomberg reached the stern of the "Ovitz". This is a spacious platform, incomparable with the front deck.
The area must be from forty to fifty square meters, surrounded by a railing.
About ten meters behind you is the cabin.
The entire space can be seen at a glance and it is suitable to talk about everything just by looking at it.
In particular, the back still has a very beautiful view of the sea. Actually, it is an observation platform.
The "Ovitz" was now forty minutes away.
Due to the slow speed, the outlines of Manhattan and New York Harbor were still clearly visible in the distance.
Bloomberg stood near the railing and looked at Abel following him.
Abel slowly approached him, quietly observing the fifty-year-old tycoon. "Mr. Smith, you may have heard of this."
Bloomberg looked around and confirmed that no one was there.
said softly: "Someone is investigating you and your company.
Abel's face remained unchanged, but his heart moved slightly.
Bloomberg calls himself, does he want to talk about this issue?
In this case, Bloomberg may actually know something he doesn't.
To put it bluntly, Bloomberg and his Bloomberg. Truly a great business intelligence sales company.
Bloomberg, with roots in New York, knows New York better than the FBI and CLA.
There was little New York couldn't hide from him if he liked it.
This guy is eating this bowl of rice.
"David told me. Someone is indeed investigating me and my business. » Abel replied gently.
According to David Mellon, this case involves New York's upper class.
It's not a secret.
It is highly likely that this happened at the Hilton family's party before.
These capital hyenas have expressed their willingness to cooperate with Smith Capital. They haven't come to the door for many days.
"Little Mellon? Okay. He's really smart and quick.
His origins and identity also fit well with Wall Street. "
Bloomberg nodded and repeated: "But he probably still doesn't know who is investigating you?"
"Right." Abel said: "It seems you understand what you mean?"
Looks like I really owe this guy a favor this time.
It's still that sharing, and it foretells things like this for me.
I don't know what Bloomberg has planned for himself.
Abel was a little worried, but only a little.
In this world, if you want to be successful, you have to do it yourself. Maybe debt of gratitude is necessary.
If necessary, you have the opportunity to negotiate with others.
Suppose Abel doesn't have what Bloomberg needs.
Is Bloomberg that easy to talk to?
That's the reason. "I found out by accident. I also heard it from a friend." Bloomberg smiled slightly.
"The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is investigating you."
"Manhattan District Attorney's Office." Abel muttered softly.
In the morning while chatting with David Mellon.
There is speculation about who is investigating him and Smith Capital. Among them are the Securities Regulatory Commission, the State Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the State Department of Insurance and Corporations, the New York County District Attorney's Office, the Manhattan District Attorney's Office and even the FBI and The CIA could be involved.
Even the NYPD is a possibility.
These agencies and organizations have the right to investigate and supervise companies in the financial sector.
Least likely is the IRS, the Federal Tax Service.
Paying that much tax is not for nothing. Because he is a big taxpayer.
Abel dined with many high-ranking IRS officials and maintained personal contact.
If the IRS opened an investigation, they certainly wouldn't find out about it.
According to Bloomberg, the Manhattan district attorney's office is currently investigating him.
It was definitely on the list that Abel and David had guessed. "I remember," Abel thought for a moment, "The district attorney of Manhattan, New York, has been in office for more than 20 years?"
"Right." Bloomberg nodded: "Mr. Robert Morgenthau took this position in 1975. For 25 years, he never moved."
"Thank you, Michael." Abel said half true and half false:
"You really helped me a lot this time. No, those were two favors. There was also the problem of the air conditioning."
"Hahaha~"
"Those are simple things," Bloomberg laughed.
I want to be your friend, Mr. Smith, and I'm happy to do so. "
"You can call me Abel directly, just like I think calling you Michael is more affectionate." » Abel said smiling.
"Okay. Abe, I also like being called Michael."
The premise is that the status is similar to his, or that he has someone to ask.
Look at the ordinary employees in his company, do you dare to call him Michael?
Suddenly, Abel changed the subject: "Michael, I heard you left the Donkey Party and joined the Elephant Party?"
"Right." Bloomberg glanced at Abel appreciatively. Bloomberg founder believes that this young man has a very sharp mind.
In such a short time, I have thought about this aspect.
"It looks like New York will have a new mayor next year." » Abel said smiling.
With Bloomberg's current attitude, he feels he has discovered where Bloomberg needs him.
"Hahaha~" Bloomberg laughed again. This time it was a genuine smile.
He was very happy and smiled and said: "It's simply possible. But if I want to win the election, I can't do it alone."
Abel understood what he meant.
It's no secret to New York's top brass that Bloomberg will run in next year's New York election.
A few years ago, current Mayor Rudy Giuliani was running for office for the second time. Bloomberg expressed his ambitions.
At that time, he was a member of the Donkey Party and failed in the internal election of the Donkey Party.
Otherwise it wouldn't be Henry Carlette versus Rudy Giuliani.
That's Michael Bloomberg.
This year, Bloomberg resolutely left the Donkey Party and joined the Elephant Party. It was almost an announcement to outsiders that he would run in next year's New York election.
It's not a secret.
So Abel is clear.
It's just that he has doubts. When Bloomberg is elected next year, what will he like about himself? Since when did you let Bloomberg contact you in such an aggressive manner?
Political contributions J?
This guy doesn't lack that, right?
It is now the year 2000 and the amount of money needed for various campaigns is not as exaggerated as it was in the future.
America's old campaign fund is out of control and inflated to excessive levels. This will be the era of Obama.
Abel was a bit confused and could only smile and say: "Please rest assured."
I will definitely support you when the time comes.
At that time, I will definitely write the largest check to your campaign office according to regulations. "
"Of course. If you need it."
"I will definitely assist to the best of my ability."
He said with a smile like this.
