America’s Road To Wealth - Vol 2 Chapter 429

Chapter 429 An Invitation from a Rich Family on the East Coast

Looking at Amanda with a displeased face, she left her office indignantly.

Abel didn’t have the slightest turmoil in his heart.

Even before he decided to eat the rose with thorns, he knew that she was not as easy to deal with as Ikana and Paris.

But so what?

It’s just a little more challenging.

Now Abel is not afraid of these extra challenges.

The process of taming the rouge horse made him feel more interesting.

Turn around and go back to your seat.

Abel continued his boring life as a chairman.

This boring calm was broken in the afternoon

Peggy Morgenthau, whom I haven’t seen for a long time, is here.

Today’s Peggy, as always, is wearing her prosecutor’s OL dress, which sets off her slender figure with a perfect female curve.

Clear and bright pupils, curved willow eyebrows, long eyelashes trembling slightly, fair and flawless skin revealing a light pink, thin lips like rose petals.Delicate.Tender.Delicate.Drip.

Only from the appearance and figure.

Abel thinks that Peggy is much more beautiful than Laura Little, Amanda and others of the same class.

There is also a strong, intellectual and bookish temperament on her body, which is also what little Laura and the others lack.

“Good afternoon, Peggy. Long time no see.”

“good afternoon…”

The blond and elegant western beauty calmly took out a beautiful invitation letter, “I’m here to give this thing.”

Abel nodded, not letting David or Alan who were waiting next to him pick him up.

The two of them, here just now, were discussing something with Abel.

Abel came over by himself, walked up to Peggy, and took the initiative to take the invitation letter in her slender and white hand.

Standing beside her, Abel smelled the faint scent of perfume on her body.

is the smell of GucciBloom perfume.

Abel is not a perfume master, nor is he a scumbag who deliberately memorizes the smells of different perfumes just to pick up girls.

The reason why this GucciBloom can be smelled at once.

Because Abel remembers that his fiancée, Laura Shrub, likes to use this perfume the most.

According to little Laura, that is—

“This perfume from GUCCI very well reproduces the prosperous and blooming scene in the garden of the white house when my grandfather was the commander-in-chief when I was young.”

“The top notes are jasmine and tuberose. It is very obvious. At the first smell, it is like blooming flowers in front of you. In the strong aroma of jasmine, you can also faintly smell the fragrance of honeysuckle, gardenia and other white flowers. A girl among flowers.”

Can remember so clearly, it is purely because Abel’s current memory is extraordinary.

It’s the same as his body that can be in peak human condition without exercising.

It is the same as financial talent, and it is the benefit of Abel traveling through time and space.

In front of Peggy, Abel opened a beautiful and classical invitation letter.

He glanced at it and found that it was Robert Morgenthau, an invitation letter to invite himself to the banquet at Morgenthau Manor tonight.

Tonight is Robert’s 82nd birthday, and he has invited many people to attend.

“Oh, this is really a good thing, it’s a big day. I will definitely participate, don’t worry.” Abel said with a smile.

Peggy nodded calmly, and said in a flat voice:

“Grandfather asked me to bring it over. He also asked me to tell you that Morgan and Rockefeller will also be there.”

Abel Wanran understood why Robert would leave the small matter of sending letters to his most precious granddaughter.

Robert was telling himself through Peggy, pay attention to Rockefeller and Morgan, or other guys who are interested in him at the banquet tonight.

“Thank you, Paige.”

Abel said softly.

“Um.”

Peggy’s bright sapphire-like eyes glanced at him calmly, “Then I’m leaving.”

Abel: “Um…okay.”

Abel finished speaking.

Peggy turned around without hesitation and walked towards the office door.

A few seconds later, her slender figure disappeared into Abel’s spacious and luxurious office.

David and Alan next to him were motionless, they didn’t dare to make a sound, and they even lowered their breathing as much as possible.

Because from the time Peggy turned around until she left, their boss just stood there, staring in her direction.

Even though she had disappeared outside the door, she didn’t change her movements in the slightest.

About ten seconds passed.

The two closest subordinates around Abel saw the boss turn to them again.

“Okay. A small episode, now let’s talk about the acquisition of the New York Giants and New York Yankees.”

The New York Giants are the NFL, which is the National Football League, and one of the veteran teams of the NFL.

The New York Yankees are one of the baseball teams affiliated with the American League in Major League Baseball. The home court is located in the Browns district of New York.

Just before Peggy came to deliver the invitation.

Abel discussed with Alan Baker and David Jones about the acquisition of these two commercial sports companies in New York.

Under Abel’s name, there has always been a humble company called Smith Sports.

It started out as standalone.

After Smith Media was established, it belonged to the media group.

This company is also the parent company of the NBA team Houston Rockets.

At the same time, it also holds some European teams, that is, the stocks of the five European teams acquired by Abel.

There is also a part of the stock of F1 holding company.

In fact, even in Smith Capital, Abel’s personal shareholding is only about 30%.

The rest of the shares, except for the batch of other people, are all controlled by some offshore companies.

Of course, after putting on several layers of skins, these offshore companies are actually all wholly owned by Abel.

The reason for doing this is mainly for reasons of tax avoidance and mutual shareholding to increase security.

The core shares of those big companies and consortiums are basically operated in this way.

Based on the principle of continuing to expand your influence in New York.

Abel intends to acquire the NFL and MLB, the two most influential teams in New York with a large number of fans.

At this time, it is naturally the turn of Smith Sports.

Smith Sports in the United States has a headquarters with only a few dozen people, and even the general manager is concurrently held by David Jones.

After all, this company was purely a whim by Abel at the beginning, and it was a company in the nature of gambling.

He remembered, put some money into it, and spend some energy playing that kind of game.

If you are not serious enough, you will naturally be less healthy.

Even the intention to acquire the New York Yankees and New York Giants this time is mainly for other purposes.

Commercial sports… Although this piece of meat is fat, in Abel’s eyes, it is too thin.

If it weren’t for the huge influence on ordinary people that this industry often accompanies.

Abel probably didn’t have the slightest interest in them.

Seeing the boss recover from that state, Allen and David didn’t dare to mention Peggy at all.

Allen immediately said:

“As we said just now, it is difficult to acquire the New York Yankees. As long as the price is right for the Giants, it is not difficult.”

“For most of the time, the Giants have been owned by the Mara family.”

“It wasn’t until 1991, when Preston Robert Tisch bought 50% of the shares of the Giants, and then gradually increased his holdings that the owner of the Giants became the Tisch family.”

“However, the founder of the Giants, Tim Mara’s son Wellington Mara, is still one of the team’s chairman and president. He played a very important role in the operation of the Giants.”

Hearing these words from the chief consultant and general manager of Smith Intelligence Group.

Abel nodded and said, “The key lies in the Tisch family and Wellington, right?”

David nodded, and the butler of the Smith family said softly:

“According to what you said, Boss, I have already contacted the Tisch family. The Tisch family has made many mistakes in investment before, and the cash chain of their core industry is very tight. After I contacted them, they said that as long as If the price is right, they are willing to sell their 67% stake.”

Abel pointed to David, “Give them the money, and I want their stocks.”

David nodded, knowing that for the boss, things that can be solved with money have always been the easiest things.

Allen added:

“Wellington Mara is also a problem. When he sold 50% of the shares to the Tisch family, Wellington left a clause. This clause stipulates that as long as Wellington is alive, he will always be Chairman of the Giants. At the same time, he has a veto power over the team’s stock transactions.”

“This is easy.”

Abel said softly:

“This Wellington, since he is the son of the founder of the team, he must also hope that the team will develop better. Then I think it will be difficult for him to refuse a man who can give him unlimited financial support, so that he can poach people at will. boss.”

“Allen, go tell him. I’ll give him money, money that can buy all the MLB superstars.”

Allen nodded.

“alright.”

“Now tell me, why is buying the New York Yankees so difficult?”

Facing the question of the boss, David and Allen looked at each other.

Finally, David spoke.

“George Steinbrenner, the owner of the Yankees, turned down our offer. This guy claims that because you’re a Texan, the Yankees fans won’t like a Dixie owner…”

“Fack the Snow!”

This is some nonsensical reason, so Abel can’t help but speak dirty.

Dixie can’t be the owner of the Yankees, for what **** reason?

“Fack! I remember this guy, he seems to be from Ohio? I have seen him, at a banquet in New York. I remember he is a German immigrant who came in the Gilded Age. What right do you have to despise Texas?”

Seeing that the boss is a little angry.

David quickly added: “Boss, this is just a reason for rejection. The real reason may be that George Steinbrenner has a good relationship with the Newhouse family.”

“Newhouse?”

Abel frowned. He had a conflict with Newhouse.

But not long ago, Shi Yi Newhouse of Newhouse had already approached him, wanting to shake hands with him.

Abel also agreed with Shi Yi Newhouse’s intention in the spirit of Hong Zu’s famous words.

“Contact George Steinbrenner again. If he still refuses, I will call Shi Yi Newhouse.”

Abel said directly.

Both David and Allen nodded.

After the acquisition of two local New York commercial sports companies, David and Allen were about to leave.

These two are busy people, busier than the CEO of Smith Media and the CEO of Smith Capital.

They were about to go out when they heard Abel calling them to stop.

“By the way, David and Alan, make arrangements. In the middle of this month, we will go to Europe.”

Both David and Alan were startled, but they both nodded immediately.

Watching the two leave, Abel stood up from the spacious and soft sofa in the rest area, and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows facing Broadway.

Broadway Avenue is an important north-south road in Manhattan, starting from Battery Park in the south and running through the island of Manhattan from south to north.

Because there are a large number of theaters on both sides of this road, it is an important place for the development of American dramas and musicals.

With the growth of the national power of the United States, and the expansion of influence.

“Broadway” gradually became synonymous with musicals.

It is one of the widest and most luxurious roads in Manhattan.

After all, the original English meaning of Broadway originally meant “broad avenue”.

Thinking about the way Peggy delivered the letter to herself just now, and her mood at the time.

Looking at the traffic on Broadway below.

Abel put his hand in his pocket and took out a mobile phone from it.

Mobile phone number 1, his personal mobile phone.

He dialed his fiancée’s phone.

“Hello~”

“Honey, let’s go to Long Island tonight.”

“At Robert Morgenthau’s birthday party. The old guy is an important partner of mine in New York.”

“That’s it, I’ll send someone to pick you up later.”

…

…

The Morgenthau family’s estate, located in Long Island surrounded by a densely wooded forest.

The main body of the center is a very historical, white stone castle building.

Don’t look at the electric lights next to it, and the modern decoration outside.

At first glance, they even give people a feeling of being in medieval Europe.

It feels like a pocket Swan Castle.

When Abel and little Laura arrived.

The **** iron gate outside the manor was wide open, and a team of black-clothed bodyguards stood on both sides, isolating the entrance and exit.

Abel looked up and saw the white Latin font on the gate of the black mansion: “Divesnonestomnia”.

This is the ancestral motto of the Morgenthau family, or something like the family motto.

The general idea is “wealth is not everything”.

After looking at the group of Latin words, Abel continued to discuss his first visit to Morgenthau’s ancestral house with little Laura in a low voice.

His convoy drove in unimpeded and stopped in front of the fountain square of a white classical mansion that looked like an ancient Greek temple.

A brand new red carpet stretches from the entrance of the mansion to the front of the car door.

Abel stepped out of the car, turned around and helped little Laura, who was wearing an evening gown with a long skirt, get out of the car, and then walked up the steps on the red carpet.

“Welcome, Abel, oh, Miss Laura Bush, you are charming tonight!”

Robert Morgenthau’s eldest son, George Morgenthau, took his wife, Peggy’s mother, out of the gate of the old house, and met Abel on the platform in front of the door.

Peggy’s father smiled kindly, shook hands with Abel cordially, and praised little Laura’s beauty without hesitation.

“Thank you very much Morgenthau for the invitation, George.”

Abel was polite and authentic.

The three brothers of the previous generation of the Morgenthau family, all of whom are dragons and phoenixes, all got along very well on the east coast.

Robert is based in Manhattan, a place where every inch of land is precious, and prosecutors have been doing it for decades.

You know, that’s Manhattan, where Wall Street is located.

If you want to sit firmly in this position, your background, background, and ability are all indispensable!

Robert’s two brothers, the younger one is even expected to become one of the Supreme. Great. Judges.

The other is also the Attorney General of a state.

Even if there are factors of background, but personal ability is also very good.

But the next generation of these three brothers, that is, the generation of Peggy’s father and cousin, is a bit ordinary.

Like Peggy’s father, he has never done anything.

Now he is the director of the legal department of the newly established Hudson City Group, and that is entirely due to his father.

It is more of a naming nature.

Even Abel’s kindness to him was partly due to his father Robert and partly due to his daughter Peggy.

It can only be said that in the United States, being able to reincarnate well is a super skill in itself.

“Hehe, it’s our pleasure, please…”

George Morgenthau really wanted to have a few more conversations with his future boss and the person his wife said was his daughter’s favorite.

But there are constantly guests coming, each of whom is a famous figure in New York or the East Coast, or even the whole of the United States.

As the person who welcomes the guests here on behalf of the Morgenthau family this evening, he cannot favor one person over another.

Even if I really want to continue chatting with Abel, I can only politely signal Abel to go in first.

Abel smiled and took two steps forward, then subconsciously looked back.

He found that very coincidentally the same as last time.

Bloomberg came to Morgenthau’s main house with his wife after him again.

The difference is that Abel was single that time and came alone.

This time, beside him is a beautiful fiancee with an elegant smile.

Seeing Bloomberg waving towards him, Abel smiled and slowed down little Laura.

Wait for Bloomberg and George Morgenthau to be polite.

The old guy took his wife, walked a few steps faster, and came to walk with Abel and little Laura.

“What a coincidence, Michael. Remember? It was like this last time.”

“Hahaha—of course I remember. So I just said, this is the Lord who made us meet!”

“let’s go.”

Don’t be stuck at the door for too long, the four chatted a few words and then walked inside.

Abel and his little Laura, who also showed a charming smile, raised their chins slightly, showed elegance, and their eyes were full of fascination. They walked into the magnificent and luxurious hall with Michael Bloomberg and his wife together. .

With the arrival of the young couple Abel and Little Laura, the atmosphere in the hall became more and more lively. Familiar and unfamiliar people appeared in Abel’s circle in turn, and everyone interacted with each other. Greetings.
