Chapter 178

Chapter 178: Wall Street Repression

Wedding, wedding, wedding.

Abel no longer knew how many people had thought about marrying him.

There are definitely some.

Like Anne Hirst in New York.

The eldest of the Hearst family has no inheritance rights. It's very clear.

Here, it is believed that part of that is the importance of the head of the Hearst family.

Otherwise, a rich, old-fashioned family like them wouldn't be able to let Amanda go crazy like that.

Second, Barron Hilton, this guy has also mentioned to Abel many times that his niece Paris Hilton is very cute.

Furthermore, Ted Lena said almost outright: "You marry my daughter."

Even Robert and Abel found the old man amusing!

How many? Furthermore, those who have not expressed it can only think in their hearts.

Or people who don't have a chance.

He also knew that his current condition was more critical than his age.

In this class, you will definitely be a very good life partner.

As you become more and more successful, this trend will certainly become more and more evident. Even before that, Abel had created a bloody persona for himself.

No, this is not a human concept at all. These wealthy families easily realized that Abel was a real playboy.

But in the eyes of these traditional giants, it is estimated that they think it is nothing.

In some married families, the bond of marriage is the couple of married family members. On both ends of this relationship, husband and wife often play their own games.

It's a bit like the habits of old European royal families.

As long as direct heirs are guaranteed to carry their own blood, it doesn't seem to bother them much when reincarnated later.

Or as long as you don't have kids and don't have blood on your hands, you really don't mind.

This concept was also imported by Americans from Europe. The main role in the soul is the Chinese Abel, who is very disgusted with this kind of thing.

His concept of this kind of thing is closer to the habits of ancient Chinese dynasties.

In other words, I can have three wives and four concubines, but you can only have one.

But in America, his idea was clearly impossible to implement.

He can use his wealth and influence, even his power. Let the girls whose status is not equal to yours have to submit to you, half helpless or tempted to respect this traditional virtue of the Heavenly Court.

Like Charlize and others.

Even a nouveau riche and pseudo-rich family like Ikana.

can also give way.

But this kind of power is clearly useless to the same class. If it were useful, perhaps European kings wouldn't allow their wives to have QR.

Abel is sure of that.

If I really marry a rich girl like Amanda.

Let's not talk about what the fish in the fish pond will think, whether they will run away because of this or not.

Amanda, these girls themselves and the families who support them will definitely get the idea after a long time. Unless Amanda's family plays like this after their wedding and everyone plays their own game, something will happen.

This was the reason why he didn't want to provoke really rich girls in the first place.

Of course.

This kind of thing is not without solutions.

A better solution. This is the "Amanda" that Abel is looking for, who is not afraid to have fun outside.

This may allow him to hang colorful flags outside, and the red flag at home will not be green if it does not fall.

Provided that "Amanda" is not strong and does not actively take revenge on Abel.

The family behind her, even if they didn't like Abel, most likely wouldn't do anything reckless.

Such. At most, Abel and the "Amanda" who married this Abel were not known in rich circles for such things.

Additionally, care must be taken to ensure that "Amanda's" family is not too important.

Like his status in the family, it wasn't very important before.

Abel had a plan at thirty.

If you really cannot stand the pressure in this area. Let's find such an "Amanda" to marry.

Before that, he continued to raise fish while searching for a type of "Amanda" that satisfied him.

But now it seems that before, this aspect will be even more uncomfortable.

Didn't you see Herbert expressing that to Alex in such a confusing way?

Father Adams, a worthy father and son, can proactively solve this problem. This shows that they value Smith's relationship with the bush.

If they can truly unite, it is uncertain whether the two families can become the Iron Alliance in the future.

The bushes once formed large families, but now they appear even more numerous.

It is impossible to directly refute this, and it would really offend people too much.

After much consideration, Abel can only blame himself for being so attractive in the end. Regarding this matter, he currently feels that escape is probably the best solution.

This happened early the next morning, after eating a loving breakfast prepared by my grandmother.

Before Alex could speak, he ran away.

Looking at the tall young figure, she disappeared through the living room door.

Arya couldn't help but blame her husband:

"Alex. You are so impatient! Abel is still young! He's only twenty years old! »

"What's wrong with being twenty? We both got married when we were twenty." Alex disagrees.

"Maybe Abel is like his father. Alexander got married late, maybe Abel wanted to get married that late?" » Arya said.

Mentioning this, Alex was a little angry. "Hmph! It's because my son got married late! I was only fifty years old when I had a grandson!" Alex said:

"15 year old John gave birth to John, 16 year old John gave birth to Little John, 17 year old Little John gave birth to John IV!"

"Obviously I'm the same age as old John. But how many grandchildren does he have? He has a lot of great-grandchildren!"

Arya was speechless, could this be compared?

Smith ended up on the Mayflower anyway.

John and his family are descendants of Irish people who fled during the famine. Back then it was Texas, if it weren't for the old generation of Smiths taking care of it.

Now I don't know about John and his family.

Ireland has a lot of children so it is already very famous.

"But now I read an article saying that our cute girl already has many girlfriends."

Arya can only speak for Abel in this way.

"Just for fun." Alex disagrees:

"If you just get married, you should be more restrained. No one can know what illness he has. »

Arya thought so too.

Grandma sometimes thought about it and secretly felt strange.

Her husband is not good at it and her son is also very dedicated.

I wasn't expecting your grandson. Is this revenge? Revenge against her son and husband for their innocence in this matter?

Leaving his nephew, too exaggerated on this matter?

Arya, a devout believer, could only say "Amen" in her heart, accepting her husband's arrangements.

Abel soon returned to Los Angeles.

December in Texas starts to get cold and some areas start to get snow. December in California but still sunny.

Sometimes there is light rain but very little snow.

Of course, California is not without snow.

Getting snow in California usually requires two things.

The first occurred when the northern hemisphere was unusually cold. The other case is when Hawaii's sub-high temperatures get out of control.

Previous conditions were met this year and winter came early around the world.

Fortunately, the subtropical pressure behind Hawaii is relatively strong and still affects California.

This makes California a little colder this year than last year, but there are still no signs of snow.

Abel, already back in Los Angeles, is preparing to return to New York. Although the current weather in New York is very cold, a new snowstorm is coming recently.

But I can't help but come back.

He's looking forward to Elizabeth's Garden, Isa's first performance in Times Square.

It was this great scene that partly changed the chronology.

How could he be absent? Yisha models will meet in New York for rehearsals and training.

He felt like he couldn't miss it either.

So here in Los Angeles, he stayed a few more days.

After being a bit gentle with Annie and the others, and managing the company's affairs here.

December 15. He returned to New York using Delta's private charter service.

Anyway.

Abel's orders from Boeing and Gulfstream are still 6 months away from the fastest delivery times.

In other words, his brand new private jet.

We won't get it until June next year at least. This was mainly due to the number of orders he placed that required completely new aircraft.

Gulfstream is fine.

If additional funds and forces were added, it was estimated that deliveries could be made two or three months in advance.

There is no way for Boeing.

At the time, Boeing's operation was comparable in size to the current U.S. national force. It is estimated that production orders at the Boeing aircraft factory will take 3 to 4 years.

Being able to give birth to Abel so quickly was thanks to the extra money.

Let's play, unless Abel is willing to accept second hand.

Otherwise, in just a short time, he would have become such a rich person but he didn't have a private plane.

When flying business class, you can only choose the airline's private charter service. Luckily, it only took half a year and Abel was able to endure it.

In addition, he has some "old acquaintances" at Delta Airlines.

This time on the plane he met the beautiful, married flight attendant Maria.

Under the gesture of his eyes.

His lovely wife Maria obediently came to cover him with a blanket and play the harmonica. Abel is also good at playing the harmonica.

Then David Jones gave him a small gift.

After all, eels come and go.

Looking at the map, Los Angeles is far away from New York.

Actual flight time only takes about 6 hours. But in fact, on the clock or watch, the flight takes only three hours.

Because these two places are three hours apart.

In China there is only one official time, which is capital time.

But in the United States, there are four official schedules.

So when foreigners watch American news, they often see the news at the beginning...

[East Coast Time xxx]

[US West Coast Time xxx]

[US Central Time xxxx]

[USA Mountain Time xxx]

Very complicated. Many foreign newspapers simply use local time to express themselves.

In the United States, use of one of four time zones in reporting is required.

Sometimes the average person's transition is a bit complicated.

As complex and subject to change as official US time.

There are also American standards for weights and measures, and even standards for converting currency to dollars. They were all Americans who learned from the British, or who brought them over from Europe.

But Europe, including Britain, no longer uses this complexity.

Americans are stubborn and use their own standards of life and death.

US East Coast Time, December 15 at 4 p.m.

Delta Airlines' Gulfstream G400 lands at LaGuardia Airport in Queens. This is different from California, which is still considered hot.

New York in mid-December is still New York with La Niña weather.

When Abel got off the plane.

The cold wind blew into my face, even though my body was wearing warm, comfortable clothes, it still felt a bit cold.

I don't know how many homeless people have frozen to death in New York this year. Master Abel has a kind heart and he hates it.

So he never went to the slums in places like Brooklyn.

It was snowing heavily outside and Abel didn't want to be stuck in Manhattan at that time.

He just needs to go back to the Smith Building and have someone call Michael Levine.

Before Michael Levine arrived. Abel is in his office talking to David Mellon, whom he hasn't seen in a month.

".Clear."

In the office, David said with a sarcastic smile:

"Ni's conditions don't make them happy. My God, $500 billion! If that's true!"

David owns 2% of Smith Capital's dry stock.

There are conditions for him to take on this part.

The condition was that David work for Abel for at least fifteen years. Only when his working time ends will these shares officially belong to him.

The contracts are very strict.

Before that, David felt like he had given Abel a sip of ecstasy.

will accept such harsh conditions.

But now David doesn't think so. Who calls this a 2% stake, it could actually be very, very valuable!

The voting rights of the remaining 2% of shares must also be transferred to Abel.

Previously, David could only earn 2% of the company's dividends.

Now whether Smith Capital's $500 billion market value is correct or not.

This is equivalent to David's net worth of $10 billion at one point.

Even if it takes fifteen years to officially own it. But it was enough to make David ecstatic.

But according to David, even if there is a gambling agreement.

Abel's $500 billion estimate is actually a bit of an exaggeration.

GM GE Group has the largest market value, a century-old brand and is the company of famous inventor Edison.

One of the pillars of American technology, the current market value is not 500 billion USD. Abel smiled and said:

"I believe Smith Capital is valuable and it will only become more valuable in the future. Work hard and in a few years you will be a billionaire!"

David wanted to say it was impossible, but he himself was looking forward to it.

Ten billionaires!

Mellon family, how many years has there been no billionaire?

There are dozens of billionaires and more than a dozen billionaires.

David sometimes wondered whether his ancestors did the right thing or not. Melon's split completely deprived him of the ability to compete with contemporary rivals such as Rockefeller and Morgan.

You should know that Mellon did not even lose to these two in the most glorious moment of his era.

But its divisions also allowed it to essentially stabilize its presence among the American elite.

There are currently more than two hundred members, scattered in various industries across the United States.

If Mellon is really needed, these free Mellon words can be combined. Motivationally, it's not impossible to compete with Morgan and the others.

Even David himself knew this.

Even today, it would probably still be impossible to bring Thomas Mellon, Andrew Mellon, Richard Mellon and others back from the dead.

Remembering the Mellon empire in his heart, David looked seriously at Abel:

"BOSS, my boss, it's just like what I reported to you. That's right, it's quite similar to what you guessed.

"Then they really started looking at us vaguely."

"According to your request, many of the small-scale investments I made have been hacked to some extent."

"It's clear that they control cash flow very tightly."

"Boss, what you did made them angry. These people are targeting us."

What David said.

When Abel was in Los Angeles, he set David free.

Use your Smith Capital account and funds to make some small market trades.

The business style also imitates Abel. This is because David, unlike Abel, had no problems to solve.

The losses on some of the trades were somewhat significant, with losses of over $10 million.

This is an unprecedented loss for Smith Capital.

There's definitely a reason why David can't date and he's not as cruel as Abel.

But David's ability is not bad. Normally, even if he doesn't make much money, he won't lose much.

But I still lost a lot.

After reading the transaction records.

Abel confirmed that Smith Capital's capital flows are indeed closely monitored.

And my Wall Street colleagues need to give Smith Capital a try. "I knew this would happen."

Abel smiled.

Abel knows this is the result of his confrontation with Wall Street.

Be those crocodiles.

They found Abel and didn't want to be like Peter Lynch.

Not wanting to accept being just their cash cow. There is absolutely no way to avoid this kind of thing.

Abel is not like Buffett, who prefers conservative investing and value investing.

Abel's investment style, in the eyes of these people, emphasizes risk.

The risks are very high and it is often impossible to find international futures markets and foreign exchange markets where there are counterparties.

These people are also more convenient when carrying out sniper attacks and deliberate attacks. "But do not worry."

Abel looked at David:

"I will soon make them understand clearly. On the battlefield of the capital, what kind of existence will they encounter!"

After Abel finished speaking, he felt that he was a bit in second place.

But David Mellon doesn't think so.

"GOOD!" David Mellon rejoices:

"My good boss, if you can think like that, that's great! I believe you, Smith Capital will definitely crush them!"

"Only this way! We can make them understand, the valuation of 500 billion US dollars is not excessive at all!"

This is probably one of the reasons why this guy is so superstitious about Abel.

David Mellon really has a bull at Smith Capital. Smith Capital can take off, he is the heir to the New York Mellon family.

can instantly defeat his father and grandfather.

This essentially tied David Mellon to Smith Capital.

This is also one of the confidences that helped Abel say no to Wall Street.

If not for David Mellon's trading prowess. If it was Abel himself, it would be a bit too much to be honest.

If he really wanted him to do it himself, it was estimated that in this life he would just be an invincible super cow.

But if you want to trade on a large scale, it is not possible.

It usually takes half a month to open a position and it takes half a month to close a position, with an investment of tens of billions of dollars.

A person cannot even play with a supercomputer. This is also the reason why he chose to give David a portion.

That is the best way for two people to share common interests and unite firmly before the outside world.

On the other hand, David Mellon was a Wall Street genius.

Because of his background, as long as he continues to succeed on Wall Street, he could even hope to become the CEO of a major investment bank.

If Abel hadn't been optimistic at that time, he would have been attracted to Abel's actions. With his experience and abilities, why should he work for Texas Dixie?

Strictly speaking, David Mellon is also a typical old East Coast Yankee.
