Chapter 104

David Mellon believes this is unnecessary, mainly due to cost. Getting one of the companies in the Vault rankings to take action is costly. Encourage more families to take action, no matter the cost. But from Abel's point of view, he felt it was necessary. Dear? Very expensive. It is estimated that the cost of the entire process would buy one or two additional homes on Long Island. But he felt it was necessary. There are two reasons. He wanted to express his anger first. After more than ten months, he was reborn rich and free. One could say he was not angry at all and enjoyed every freedom. The joy of this period formed a kind of spirit in him. Robert Morgenthau and those behind him did this to him, and he didn't want to fight back. He couldn't swallow his breath. Even in reality, because of a certain amount of prudence, he had almost nothing to say about himself. What Robert and the others did did not harm him. He was just as angry. It can only be said that people's ambitions and temperament always follow the environment in which they live. and the resources available to you are constantly changing. The current Abel is no longer the person who was just reborn and is careful in everything he does. The second reason is that he believes it can also have a deterrent effect in some respect. Deter who? Robert Morgenthau and the people behind him. Meanwhile, Abel is in New York. They all behave harmlessly towards people and animals and show concern. I have never raped anyone and have never been aggressive. Except on the capital battlefield. Over time, people may feel that his character is weak. This time Abel had no intention of letting go. He intends to spend tens or hundreds of millions of dollars. It has also been pointed out that Abe Smith was an impulsive young man. Most likely, if you are impulsive, you will do unreasonable things, causing waste and burning money. Even if this were done, there would probably be no way to avoid the greed of some people and powers. But at least it might worry them. Even a simple trace is enough. This is what Abel can think of. Currently, according to the restriction, this is the best and most harmful counterattack method for Robert. As a rule, face your counterattack. Regardless, Abel has no way of getting Robert Morgenthau to fight him. Knowing that the value of money is also a law in the capitalist world. There are many reasons why these law firms and lawyers are so expensive. Either they are extremely capable or they have someone behind them like Caroline. These people took the money, even if they pretended, they were definitely targeting Robert. And the better you do, the more money you make. In this way, even some of them have a good relationship with Robert. Because of money, he had to find ways to anger Robert. Abel thinks this is part of the rules of the game. My best bet is against the Manhattan District Attorney. In particular, there is currently no leadership team, focus group, etc. around him. No one gave him advice so he did it himself. And a 20-year-old fine arts graduate from a prestigious university in Texas and a 30-year-old Chinese Internet writer. The union of two souls was so intertwined that he lived only ten months of capitalist life. Available resources can be thought of and used. That's all he can do, so that's all he can do. These were things that David Mellon did not understand and Abel did not want to explain. David Mellon quickly dropped the subject at her insistence. "Okay, as long as you like it, anyway Robert Morgenthau will probably be very embarrassed this time and will hate us later. " David shrugged and said. "I don't ask them to love." » Abel said indifferently. Respecting the rules, he really wasn't afraid of Robert causing chaos. When his track record with Texas and the Rifle Association goes wrong? If he really wants to cause trouble, it is Robert, an American, who is afraid that Dixie will cause trouble if he likes her. "GOOD." David said as he stood up: "Hey, you said it last time. From now on, you will regularly participate in social activities." "Over the past half month, many people have sent many invitations." David walked to his office cabinet and opened a beautiful drawer. From inside, he took out a dense pile of what seemed to be more than twenty leaves. All types of invitations and cards have an elaborate appearance. "Actually I chose them. They are valuable and worthy of invitations from your fellow participants. David placed them on the table in front of Abel. "Actually there are more, at least two hundred. But I found it not of great value or importance, so I submitted it to the Secretariat. 伱If you want to see it, you can also search for Catherine Jones. " Catherine Jones is a beautiful girl who had a successful interview last time and officially joined Smith Capital. After a few days of internship, Zeta advised him to work in the company secretariat. The Smith Capital Secretariat is primarily responsible for the company's external contacts and public relations. Indeed, Smith Capital currently has no management or operations work. "Good job, how can you see so much? I don't think there are too many." Abel stood up and randomly picked out an invitation letter. I opened it and realized it was a congressman from New York. The other party invites Abel to the congressman's birthday party. Abel felt that he didn't know the other person, and there was no need to invite him to the other person's birthday party. But this is Lao Mei, Lao Mei bought a new pet and she can invite her neighbors to have a party together. A birthday dinner is a good excuse to throw an open party and expand your social circle. If possible, these political beings, like Hope and Sky People, could celebrate two birthdays a year. "David Luke, that's your name. I remember a gang of criminals? A congressman from Brooklyn?" » Abel asked with uncertainty. There are too many people named David in the United States. As much as John, Jack, Robert, etc. "Your memory is very good, that's all." "But he is running this year and the district is assigned to Manhattan," David said. If successful, he will be one of the members of Manhattan in the future. " "Not interested, I'm an elephant party so I won't go to the donkey party." Abel shook his head. David shrugged, "Come on. I do not know you ? Elephants and donkeys are not important to you. You are just one side of Abel Smith. " Abel smiled: "As expected, you always understand what I mean, David, you are truly my good partner." As he spoke, he took out another invitation letter. I opened it and saw that the person who invited him was John J. Bai Lang, general manager of the New York branch of Texas Commerce Bank. "The Bank of Texas, the People of Texas." David looked at the invitation and explained: "You're also a Texan. I thought you might be interested in this invitation." Holding the invitation in his hand, Abel nodded: "I am indeed interested. Let me see, just tonight." "Okay let's go." "Understand." "But this is a charity party, someone has to come," David Mellon said. Who will you take there? D. Ted Lerner's daughter? The other party didn't invite me so I won't go tonight. " "Hey, you reminded me." Abel smiled and said: "Then I will take him there." Going on a date, let's see if I can find a chance to take her down." Seeing Abel's cheerful smile, David Mellon shook his head. Then David became serious and said: "Abel, Dr. Ikana Lerner is different from other women. She has great self-control, ambition and endurance. " "I think it's inappropriate for you to provoke her, because your temperament and preferences are what she hates the most." "If you really want to be famous, I think Paris Hilton would be better." "OH?" Abel wondered why David thought that way. "Don't talk about my interests and personality that you mentioned." "As far as I know, Barry Hilton has more authority than D," Abel said. Ted Lerner, right? Why can he provoke Paris but not Ikana? » David shook his head. "This has nothing to do with Barry Hilton and D. Ted Lerner." "Paris is just a spoiled rich girl who doesn't understand anything and is easily fooled. At most she has a little intelligence." Abel complained, "It looks like you might be fooled." "Ahem, don't change the subject," said single David. "Ikana's business mind is somewhat loose. But her IQ and ambition are not loose." "You always abandon Paris, at worst she will cry and scold you in the media." "If you always abandon Ikana, she can cause big trouble for you." Faced with David's assessment, I contemplate the future experiences of Paris and Ikana in a parallel space and time. Abel felt that what David Mellon said made sense. Worried about himself, Abel said, "Your proposal makes sense. But the more this happened, the more I disliked Paris. "Isn't Paris beautiful, she has a nice figure, right?" David was very curious. Paris is only 19 years old this year and has not yet begun her wandering career. Youth as well as education from a wealthy family, appearance and physique are all considered good. With the addition of Doikana at this time, magic that had not yet appeared became more attractive. Now, whether an ordinary man chooses Paris and Ikana or not, the outcome is really difficult to say. Of course. There is no Abel. In two or three years, Paris will begin to fail. Ikana is entering its most exciting period. If I had to choose, no one would choose Paris. "No, it's not about beauty but about challenges. Paris makes me feel like there's nothing worth discussing." "Ikana has it." Abel said: "Then I will invite Ikana to come with me tonight, unless she refuses me." David rolled his eyes: "It's up to you. Anyway, I gave you some advice. If you fall into a hole in the future, I won't be able to help you get out. I'll stand right on the edge." of the hole." and I would laugh "at you!" "Oh oh!" Abel pointed David's finger: "Let's go, I'm preparing for the date." David returned the same international gesture, shaking his head and ignoring him. Six pm, Night falls and the lights come on. Beautiful bright lights illuminate all of Manhattan. Bright neon lights everywhere make this place a paradise in the middle of a steel forest. A specially built black Lincoln limousine, under the explicit and covert escort of several other vehicles. Drive through some congested streets in Manhattan. Even though it was sold for up to $300,000, it was still stuck in traffic. The rear compartment is as spacious as a bar. Abel in a black suit lazily sat next to Ikana in a beautiful evening gown. "That's the bad part of Manhattan, when there's traffic, there's traffic. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, it's just the way it is." "Who says no? If there weren't such traffic jams, Manhattan at night would be more beautiful." The two talked in low voices, the atmosphere was very cheerful. "Besides." Abel suddenly said: "Yesterday I saw a news report in the "New York Times", which said that "MISS Ikana" had encountered problems and the capital chain was in danger. Ikana, is this true? Reporting on the clothing brand "Miss Ikana", a reporter in crisis named Thomas. There are unofficial rumors in New York that this senior New York Times reporter has a grudge against D. Ted Lerner. The reason is because Thomas divorced 5 years ago. This was due to Thomas's wife, who at that time had joined D. Ted Lerner's real estate group. Also, D. Secretary Ted Lerner. Also, Thomas's wife is a beautiful [tall] blonde. wavy] wavy, a large standard ocean horse. And then there is the famous journalist. It is said that he especially enjoyed delivering bad news about D. Ted Lerner, his company, and even his family members. Ikana heard Abel talking about it. She was surprised, then smiled wryly, looking elegant and beautiful. "Abel, you may have heard of the grievance between Thomas Jones and my father." "If you had heard of it. Perhaps you would find it natural for him to report like that." "Hahaha ~" Abel laughed loudly, "I just read it in the tabloids, it seems like Mr. D. Ted Lerner did something to apologize to this reporter." "No. But I don't know the truth." Ikana probably doesn't want to talk about it, it's her father's scandal. "But." Ikana changed the subject and said softly: "Thomas is not talking nonsense." My company actually had a capital chain problem. " Ha~ I finally admit it. Abel thought. Outwardly he said, "I want to know more about this." » Ikana paused, as if considering his words. "It was mainly my dad's problem," he said later. "He had some problems with the loan so he transferred the money to me. This is the cause of YKM's current situation." In fact, the actual situation was the same as what she said, but it was much less comfortable than what Ikana said. The current situation is D. Ted Lerner discovered that MISS Ikana's second grant seemed straightforward. The remaining real estate group is in urgent need of capital to repay debt. With no other financial resources left, he had no choice but to withdraw his investment in MISS Ikana. D · Ted Lerner thought, MISS Ikana is disappointed, she is disappointed. Later, when I have money, I will buy another one for my daughter. In case she goes bankrupt again, MISS Ikana's survival will be of no use. What is most important, D. Ted Lerner said very clearly. So only Ikana is unlucky. Initially, the second round of funding did not go smoothly and now even the most important core assets, the most important assets supporting MISS Ikana's market value, have to be withdrawn. It can be said that MISS Ikana is going through the biggest crisis since its founding. Abel really knows all this. Because of D. Ted Lerner's enemy, journalist Thomas. In yesterday's New York Times report, this was clearly written. When he heard the news, Thomas said he had been following MISS Ikana for three years. I understand very well the current situation of this clothing brand, the article even exaggerates Ikana's experience in building this brand from scratch. Some may be right, others may be wrong. But Thomas eventually concluded that YKM was a scam by D. Ted Lerner and his daughter. This scam is now bankrupt and Thomas is delighted with this article. It is estimated that Ikana also knows that Abel read the report yesterday, Ikana also has a very deep understanding of it. After saying the above words, somewhat shifting responsibility to her father, she repeated: "It's just a crisis, the situation is not as dangerous as Thomas said. Even if my father withdraws all the money, the market value of MISS Ikana will be more than 100 million US dollars. " Abel smiled and nodded, suddenly asking: "So Ikana, do you welcome new investors?" Ikana's big beautiful eyes lit up and she was a bit confused. During our last meeting, she hinted at it several times. Abel has never cared about MISS Ikana. Unexpectedly, she didn't give many clues today. As a result, he said it himself. Ikana wanted to say right away, of course it was nothing. It's just that she believes that she must be careful about this kind of thing, otherwise Abel will wait to negotiate and she will have difficulty breathing. She thought about his tone and was about to speak. But at that time, the convoy was stuck in traffic for half an hour before turning onto the street. Coming here, traffic will not be too congested and congested. On the streets, the New York Police Department maintains traffic order. Behind these police officers there were many journalists gathered. Not far away, reporters were filming the scene at the entrance to a hotel. John J. The hotel where Bach Lang held the charity event has arrived. (end of this chapter)
