Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Build a program, build a strong family, leave a mark!

The morning sunlight of June and July in New York was what Abel loved most. Non-flammable heat spreads into the room through the white curtain that sways gently in the wind.

This won't work after noon.

It will kill people from heat stroke.

Abel opened his sleepy eyes and was slightly confused by the sunlight. After a few seconds, he turned his head and looked to the side. Ikana, with her long hair loose, was sleeping soundly.

Even though she was already asleep, there were still a few soft pillows under her toned waist and smooth, plump abs.

Let her maintain an easier posture to win the auction.

Abel rubbed his eyes, reached out to hug the beautiful, rosy Ikana, and kissed her forehead. This girl is only 4 months away from turning 20 and has been going crazy these past few days trying to get pregnant.

"For what"

Abel sighed, knowing whether what he did was right or wrong.

Since the Charlize incident, I've been thinking about it for a long time.

It's been four months and he's understood quite a few things.

He understands that with his own personality and richness. Discussing so-called love is a luxury in itself. Because this was a distant hope, Abel no longer desired love.

Now he just wants more companionship. And in this world, leave more traces.

Without extraordinary power, it cannot last forever. There are only two ways to leave more traces in this world.

Build wonders and expand your family!

The show can make future generations watch it and remember who built it back then.

A strong and successful family with a long history can make people remember you even hundreds of years later.

It is for this reason that Abel became increasingly attached to Place de la Baie d'Hudson.

It was for this second reason that Abel signed the trust fund agreement with Ikana. This is also the reason why he accompanied the insecure Ikana these two days and cooperated with her to form a love crystal.

After all, it is the soul of the Chinese that dominates, associated with too strong male hormones.

Similar to the biological instinct to have many children and many blessings, it is imprinted in one's DNA structure and mobilizes one's subjective dynamism.

"call"

Gently exhaling again, Abel kissed the sleeping Ikana's cheek.

Get up, shower and leave the room. It was exactly seven o'clock. Paris Hilton woke up early as usual and was having breakfast.

Abel smiled and joined her for breakfast before leaving.

Not far from the entrance is Central Park. Abel ran for a while. Besides him there were two other girls.

One is of course Tieu Laura, the other is Ly Tam Vu, who seems to have a better relationship with Tieu Laura.

New York University's Manhattan campus, where the two studied, is not far from Central Park.

It doesn't take fifteen minutes to walk here. If you arrive by car without traffic jams, you will arrive in a few minutes. Today is June 23.

Saturday, they don't have class today.

".Are you really going to the NBA Draft tomorrow?

The three of them jogged together, little Laura asked curiously.

Abel nodded and said: "Houston Rockets has won the number 1 pick. Furthermore, this is the first team I bought, so I support it both emotionally and rationally."

It's not surprising that the Houston Rockets earned the first pick in this year's NBA Draft. According to NBA rules, the probability for the Houston Rockets to win the number 1 pick this year is actually only about 14%.

But rules are often made to be broken.

It cannot be broken from the good side but can also be exploited secretly.

I don't know what method Stern used. No matter what, the final lottery number 1 went to the Rockets. When people express themselves this way, Abel will naturally express themselves back. He is an honest and trustworthy young man.

"So what if I go too?" Little Laura tried to ask: "We don't have to go to class tomorrow!"

Abel was surprised, he did not want to agree.

Because Ikana and Paris also said that they will go to the talent show tomorrow.

The important thing is that he has already made a promise to someone else. He thought that little Laura would not want to go see such a program that was 100% on television.

Little Laura is indeed a smart person. As soon as he saw her hesitation, he knew his boyfriend was in trouble.

She panted as she ran and asked: "Does anyone want to go with me?" Or have you already found someone to play with?

Abel bowed his head and looked seriously at little Laura with bright eyes. But her eyes were accidentally attracted to Li Xinyu, a good friend next to her.

This attraction is very natural.

It's like an overripe apple falling to the ground automatically, like a richer girl wanting to date a more beautiful girl, like the spooky weather in Lingnan, China in 2022.

This seems very unusual but it is the law of nature.

big,

really huge,

is really huge. I started running, swaying up and down, swaying left and right, looking bigger and bigger.

Li Xinyu didn't pay attention to Abel's eyes. She didn't seem to be running much and was out of breath.

Of course.

It could also be that the burden is too heavy. Running with such a heavy load will naturally make you tire more easily.

Little Laura, who also lacks exercise, will not be able to do that.

She runs easily and without burden.

Little Laura saw that Abel did not answer immediately.

She also noticed his eyes, little Laura also followed the trend of looking at Ly Tam Ngoc. Of course, I also saw my best friend's excessive weight.

Little Laura curled her lips: "Jessica! How many times have I told you? When you exercise, you should wear a sports bra! You're amazing!"

Jessica Lee fumed: "I wear a sports bra. But I wear it like this. They are not restrictive at all."

Little Laura was speechless. Is it so big that it can't be controlled by regular sports underwear?

it seems like it's true

Seeing her best friend's majestic little Laura with her own eyes, she couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

In this respect, Little Laura is really not strong enough.

"If you want to go, it's not impossible."

Abel's voice attracted little Laura's attention.

Abel no longer looked at Li Xinyu. My girlfriend was right next to me but my eyes were still glued to my best friend's big bear, it was too much.

Gently walking without any pressure, Abel looked at little Laura who was also panting: "As long as you don't mind, we'll go together. I promised you, as long as you love me and follow my rules, I won't do that." Do not do that." It doesn't bother me."

Little Laura sighed, regretting that she had said too much just now.

But at that time, to start the relationship she had always wanted, there was also a marriage that was highly valued by her family.

She accepted Abel. "No error." Little Laura said, "I promised you." So can you tell me who's coming with me tomorrow?

"Ikana Lerner."

"D. Ted Lerner's daughter?"

"Correct."

Little Laura was a bit depressed.

She knew Ikana existed.

It must be said that she knows all the women who had scandals with Abel and caused a stir. Little Laura remembers that Ikana resembles her best friend, Li Xinyu.

She has unparalleled high-quality resources to raise her children.

Large bears are not necessarily present in large numbers, and small bears may not be present in large numbers.

"Do you like this one does not?" Little Laura was depressed, she really couldn't do anything in this regard. Genes and nature have already been determined, tomorrow's adjustments can only rely on technology. She doesn't want to use technology.

"What?" Abel was confused.

Tieu Lao reached out and pushed Ly Tam Ngoc to the right.

The latter shouted: "Laura! What are you doing!"

"This." Little Laura pouted: "This."

"Puff~"

Seeing her depressed and dancing with Li Xinyu, Abel couldn't help but laugh.

Li Xinyu rushed towards little Laura violently, wanting to push her away. Of course, little Laura did not let her succeed, she just smiled and ran away.

Li Xinyu gritted his teeth and chased after her, but his burden was too heavy to keep up with agile little Laura.

Physical strength is also weak, running for a while is unbearable.

In the morning, at Manhattan Central Park, the cheerful laughter of young people echoed everywhere.

At noon. Charlie Brown's Pizzeria.

"Congratulations, Michael. Congratulations on winning the party election. Congratulations, the Elephant Party's #1 candidate in New York."

Across the dinner table, Abel congratulated Michael Bloomberg.

Michael Bloomberg himself smiled at that moment. However, earlier this year, New York Elephant Party bigwigs all defended Bloomberg.

At that time, Bloomberg's opinion had been determined in advance.

But at the end of the day, there is no formal procedure or election, and everything is subject to change.

This time, on June 20, the election in the New York Elephant Party officially ended.

Officially confirming Michael Bloomberg as the No. 1 candidate of the New York Elephant Party this year. "This is not just my effort but the success of all of us."

Bloomberg smiled a little hesitantly: "Thank you for your help, Abel."

Abel shrugged and smiled gently: "That's fair, we're friends after all, right?"

"Yes. We are friends." Bloomberg smiled even more.

At that time, old man Charlie Brown invented chicken pizza himself.

Abel frowned, the old man looked at Abel unceremoniously.

Bloomberg, who was next to him, couldn't help but smile when he saw this scene. While waiting for him to age, Abel complained to Bloomberg:

"Wrong! Doesn't this old man know that the store he rented was already bought by me? If he dares to be so arrogant again, I will definitely kick him out and not let him rent!"

Michael Bloomberg laughed but did not answer this question but opened another topic.

"Tell me, my friend, the foreign exchange market in Europe is very complicated today so you must be very busy. You must have something to do with me. Regarding our relationship, please tell me frankly.

"Hey..." Abel smiled lightly, deciding to get straight to the point: "Are you free tomorrow night?"

"Huh? There's a reception tomorrow night that's not important, but it can be canceled." » Bloomberg said.

"How about we go to Madison Square Garden together?"

"Madison Square Garden?" Bloomberg reacts: "NBA Draft? Are you going to watch it? Oh, you bought an NBA team.

"Correct." Abel smiled and said: "But I asked you to come with me to see, in fact it's for your own good."

Bloomberg raised his eyebrows, they began to turn white. " What do you mean ?

"First of all, there are less than five months left until the election starts. From that point on, you have to start building momentum, right? So right now, anything that can bring give you some votes, I think you should give it a try."

Abel said solemnly: "Appearing at New York Stadium, I feel this is not a bad choice. Whether it's NBA, MLB or NHL."

Bloomberg nodded, as did his team.

"Monday. I also invited Warren, Warren Buffett. » Abel smiled:

"If you can also ask him to help you, then your chances of success will be a little higher."

Although Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway headquarters is not in New York, his influence persists in financial circles across America.

Having the backing of such a tycoon would also help Bloomberg's campaign.

Bloomberg nodded, but said skeptically:

"Does Buffett watch basketball? He doesn't even watch baseball or football."

"It wasn't because of me." "I invited him to come," Abel said. »

"OH." Bloomberg nodded, he believed. Because of the current relationship between Abel and Buffett, if Abel really invited Buffett.

It's very likely that Buffett was indeed invited to the scene and that the stock market gods would be pleased to give Abel that face.

"Alright." Bloomberg smiled: "Please let me sit in the front row when the time comes."

Abel signaled his agreement.

"You didn't come to me just for that?" » Bloomberg asked.

If it's just this problem, there's no need to call Bloomberg, the problem will be resolved with a phone call. "Of course it's more than that."

Abel's initially relaxed and cheerful expression turned serious.

"Michael. I think we need to be true allies now."

"Open?" Bloomberg looked at him, wondering what Abel meant.

"Stock trading." "I will exchange 1% of Smith Capital shares for 10% of Bloomberg shares," Abel said. Michael, you know that at this rate you can earn something.

Hearing Abel's request, Bloomberg remained silent. Is the founder, chairman and largest shareholder of Bloomberg Intelligence.

Bloomberg of course knows how much the two giants investing in Smith Capital spent on 4% of Smith Capital's shares.

Today, in 2001, Bloomberg has not yet become the highest-grossing news company in the world.

Even though it was never listed.

But due to its uniqueness and presence in the market, its market value has been very high. The market estimates it at no less than 30 billion US dollars.

The 10% stake is worth about $3 billion.

Without hesitation, after a few minutes of silent contemplation.

Bloomberg has accepted this stock exchange request.

"Correct." The future mayor of New York stood up and extended his hand to Abel: "But that's not 10% of the shares. That's 13.3%."

Bloomberg said: "Because Buffett and PNC both agree with Smith Capital's valuation. So do I."

10% of Bloomberg's shares, worth about 3 billion USD. The 13.3% stake is worth about $4 billion.

Based on valuations by Buffett and PNC Financial Services Group, 1% of Smith Capital's stock is worth $4 billion.

The exchange of 13.3% for 1% of shares is a sign that Bloomberg does not want to take advantage of Abel. But the capitalists, the reason they cannot take advantage of it is because it is not easy to take advantage of it.

Bloomberg appeared very sincere towards Abel and traded shares at low prices.

After careful consideration, I decided not to take advantage of it.

He wants to stay with Abel longer so obviously exchanging the same value would be more appropriate.

Abel also understood what Bloomberg meant. He smiled and said: "Yes, then according to 13.3%."

Shaking hands, the two let each other go after a few seconds. Since then, Abel and Bloomberg have gone from nominal and verbal allies to real allies who own shares in each other.

Usually, large corporations gather and emerge gradually.

The two chatted for a while, mainly about Bloomberg's campaign work in the next five months.

At about one o'clock in the afternoon, the two broke up.

After separating, Abel drove non-stop to the nearby Manhattan district attorney's office. This was the first time he had entered Robert's lair and it was Peggy Morgenthau who greeted him at the door.

I haven't seen her in a month and Peggy has short hair.

After seeing so many beauties, appearance was not the first thing that impressed Abel.

Face, skeleton, pure or seductive temperament all become very important points for Abel to evaluate a woman.

Like Cate Blanchett and Li Fuzhen, their temperament overshadows their appearance, making Abel more interested in their unique temperament than their good looks. Temperament is often closely related to cultivation, talent, demeanor, etc. of a person.

Peggy, who has short hair, has a fresh and unique temperament, which touches Abel.

"The hair is very beautiful." He smiled and congratulated.

Peggy was surprised then smiled back.

The two men walked into the Manhattan district attorney's office building together. Abel walked to Peggy's left, calmly welcoming the view from all directions, and at the same time able to talk to Peggy.

"If it was a few months ago. If I walked in here, I probably wouldn't have felt so comfortable."

Peggy smiled slightly after hearing this.

She knew what Abel meant.

Before seven or eight months, Abel and his grandfather Robert were not friends, even enemies in some sense. At that time, what the Manhattan District Attorney's Office wanted most was to know Abel's criminal record and put him in prison.

For his part, Abel invited more than a dozen of the most powerful lawyers in America and drove the Manhattan district attorneys crazy.

The two sides faced each other and had a very fierce confrontation.

After that, Robert and the prosecutors actually found nothing against Abel.

Furthermore, Abel is not a base for others to dig a hole, but also has a bottom. In the end, Robert was the one to proactively admit defeat, after which the two sides officially reconciled.

After that, they gradually became friends and gradually became current allies.

Since this year, Robert has helped Abel many times.

Like last time, the paparazzi storm involves Abel.

is the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, the first agency to fight against paparazzi and the paparazzi media. Dozens of paparazzi media outlets were shut down immediately after the photo was taken, and more than 30 paparazzi reporters were sent to prison.

Facing curious looks from the prosecutors, the two talked quietly and then took the elevator to the third floor.

Outside Robert's office, Peggy knocked lightly on the door.

"Mr. Morgenthau," Paige said, "Mr. Smith is here."

"Please let him in."
