America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 325 Now I'm the No. [-] Snake in New York
Woolworth Building,

On the second floor, in Abel's office.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, Abel looked down at the ruins not far away.

Crick and Bloomberg stood by his side.

In the ruins in the distance, it still looks a little smoky.

"The air pollution is so bad," Bloomberg said:

"I asked relevant experts. It will take at least a year for this kind of air pollution to gradually dissipate. Do you really want to work here?"

The implication is to ask Abel if he is not afraid of air pollution.

"I've had the latest ventilation system installed."

Abel smiled: "The whole building cost me about 500 million dollars in total. It's very expensive, but as long as you are in it, you don't have to worry about the air you breathe at all."

After the big event.

In addition to the 110-story Twin Towers, five other World Trade Center buildings, the Marriott Hotel, four subway stations and the Orthodox St. Peter's Church were destroyed or severely damaged.

In addition, a total of 25 buildings in Manhattan were damaged, and 7 buildings in the World Trade Center were razed to the ground.

News came not long ago that the Deutsche Bank Building, located opposite the World Trade Center, was also destroyed due to the unusable toxic environment in the office building.

After the World Trade Center was burned, a large amount of poisonous gas was produced, and the environment became very inhospitable.

This is also the reason why many residents of lower Manhattan are leaving here.

Fortunately, this kind of problem can often be solved by krypton gold.

A set of the latest fresh air system can solve 99.99% of the pollution in the air.

Then install a large number of air sensors to detect the quality of the air at any time.

Then it is enough to ensure the safety of the air inside the Woolworth Building.

All vehicles in which Abel himself travels.Whether it's the latest Cadillac monster, or any other modified vehicle.

They all have three defense systems, and they are not afraid of the attack of biochemical poisonous gas, and they are not afraid of a little air pollution.

At most, he might inhale a little bit of polluted air when he enters the room from the vehicle.

But only that little bit.

That's just polluted air, not poisonous gas.

Only by living in it for a long time and breathing this kind of air every day will it affect the body.

In fact, after this big event happened.

Manhattan has also become the area with the most fresh air systems installed in residential buildings in the United States.

Abel is appealing to ordinary citizens to come back here again.

He'll be here a lot too, yes.

Abel himself can breathe the purified air without affecting himself.

Ordinary citizens will breathe heavily polluted air, so that has nothing to do with him.

Abel thought that would be all right.

Bloomberg thought so too, and the founders of Bloomberg have long thought about it.

Bloomberg's headquarters and Bloomberg's residence in Manhattan are also equipped with similar air purification devices.

As for the Creek. As the largest armed force headquarters in New York, it is located at No. 1 Police Plaza on Park Street in Manhattan. There has long been a three-defense system inside.

Instead of caring about this, Abel thinks it's better to care about Bloomberg's election.

This will determine whether Abel can act recklessly in New York for the next eight years.

"I heard the time was chosen for October 10th?"

In front of the huge French windows, Abel asked Bloomberg softly.

The founder of Bloomberg nodded: "That's right, October 10."

Bloomberg and Abel said on October 10th.

It refers to the general election in New York this year, which will officially start on October 12th.

The originally determined time was actually the middle of last month.

Who called the incident that happened last month, so this year's New York election was selected this month.

In accordance with the relevant laws and regulations of New York.

Donkey Party candidate Mark Green and Elephant Party candidate Michael Bloomberg.

The two have 26 days to promote themselves and win votes.

"Have any polls been conducted? What is the current support rate?" Abel asked softly again.

In the long past, New York used to be a red market.

But now almost 100 years old, New York has become dark blue.

Throughout the 20th century, only three Elephants were elected mayor of New York.

The last one is the current Giuliani.

In the past 30 years, New York has only had Giuliani as the party mayor.

In such a blue to black place, it is still very difficult for Bloomberg to win.

That's why Bloomberg has been with the donkey party for almost ten years.

In the end, he chose to jump to Xiangdang's side.

It is because on the donkey party, the internal competition is too fierce.

Intense like a real New York election.
Because most of the time, the result of the internal election of the New York Donkey Party is the result of the New York general election.

Bloomberg, who couldn't get ahead there, jumped over here.

This time Bloomberg's rival, Mark Green, is a seasoned political veteran.

He has served as the mayor of Queens and Brooklyn for many times.

Facing Abel’s question, Bloomberg said softly:

"The situation is not optimistic. In the poll conducted by the New York Post, Mark Green's support rate is 10 points higher than mine. And in the New York Times and CBS poll audience, his support rate is also 8 points. [-]% more than me."

Bloomberg is already satisfied with this figure.

Bloomberg knew that if he had been at the beginning of the year.

No words to ally with Abel.

Then Mark Green leads his approval rating, which will be much more than it is now.

Aligned with Abel, Bloomberg has the overwhelming support of the NRA on the New York side.

There is also the strong support of the New York Elephant Party, coupled with the help of Abel's media forces.

Only now is this situation.

Klick said softly at this time: "I want to go through today's incident. This situation will definitely be greatly improved."

Creek is the chief of the New York Police Department appointed by Giuliani. In other words, he is also a party member.

In fact, if he could choose, Klick would rather follow his old benefactor Giuliani all the time.

But Giuliani has served as mayor for two terms and cannot continue to run for office.

And Giuliani is also old, and it hasn't been long since he retired from the official arena.

Crick, who had just tasted the taste of power not long ago, was reluctant to leave the inner circle so soon.

Under Abel's matchmaking, Klick decisively turned to support Bloomberg.

With this approach, even Giuliani couldn't say anything bad about Klick.

Who said that if Bloomberg fails, Klick will definitely be dismissed by the donkey party.

You must know that the position of the boss of NPYD has always been a super fat job in this country.

This is an annual budget of 40-50 billion US dollars, more than 5 employees, the most powerful police department in the United States
There are so many advantages to being the leader here.

Not to mention other aspects, if Crick is not the head of NYPD.

Then he is not qualified at all to stand beside Abel and Bloomberg.

Hearing Crick's statement, Bloomberg also showed a faint smile on his face.

The founder of Bloomberg also felt that today's good show should be able to add a lot of points to himself.

"The concert on the 11th is very important." Abel said: "I think this should increase your support rate by a few percentage points for Michael."

"I understand." Bloomberg's face became serious.

"Giuliani has agreed," Bloomberg said. "The good thing is we don't have to spend as much money this time."

Abel's Christmas Eve show in Times Square last year.

Although there is a brand of Elizabeth's back garden standing up behind.

This brand is now ranked around 450th in the world on the Forbes list.

The brand value is hundreds of millions of dollars, and the company's market value has exceeded 20 billion dollars.

Revenue from last year to now has exceeded [-] million US dollars.

There is no doubt that it was a very successful marketing that created this cutting-edge brand.

But if it failed at that time.Abel invested close to more than 8000 million U.S. dollars in funds, even if it was in vain.

Without [-]/[-], any media company or music company would want to hold a concert in Times Square.

Even with Abel's connections, it would probably cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

In order to get through all the links, hold this kind of event in Times Square like Isa Company.

The investment of almost hundreds of millions of dollars.

No music company or media company dared to take such a big risk like Abel.

Fortunately, thanks to [-]/[-], righteousness stood in the way, even the New York City Council did not dare to stop it this time.

So the cost of the charity concert held in Times Square this time is much lower.

Abel and Bloomberg each offered $100 million.

A total of 200 million US dollars of funds, most of which are used to build the stage and specific expenses.

If this is changed to other times.

It is estimated that it will cost 5000 to 9000 million U.S. dollars to get through the official government link in New York.Including donations, expenses, etc., the total is about [-] million US dollars.

Then there is the cost of inviting a singer to sing.

The cost of this is also exaggerated.

For example, to invite Michael Jackson to play, the appearance fee is more than 500 million U.S. dollars, and the VCR recording is 50 U.S. dollars.
At least a dozen or twenty people should come to a concert, right?

That's tens of millions of dollars to appear
After all, if you want to hold a concert in Times Square, if you just spend money, there is no cost of 1.2-1.5 million US dollars that cannot be met.

It is also the Times Square New Year's Eve concert and the [-]/[-] charity fundraising concert in Times Square. In this special case, it is not necessary to spend so much money.

The two discussed some concert matters, and Klick also joined.

Because the security at that time will mainly be NYPD.

Compared with Abel and Crick, Bloomberg is obviously more concerned.

If such a good opportunity to attract ordinary voters is missed, it will affect the election.

Bloomberg can't let himself go.

Abel felt a little pity, pity those singers invited by DreamWorks Music.

No one dared to refuse the invitation, and no one dared to make additional requests.

This group of Uranus superstars who usually have special personalities, even the boss of the music company coaxes them to come.

They heard that it was okay to sing in Times Square, or to commemorate and pray for those who died on [-]/[-].

Even if there is no appearance fee for the concert, there is not even a transportation fee.

Even if they had to pay for their own air tickets and accommodation in New York.

These people are still all farts here.

This made it impossible for Abel to throw stones at others and harm other music companies and singers signed by record companies.

It can only be said that ZZZQ, which Americans like to play the most, has played the set of moral kidnapping to the extreme.

Under the banner of ZZZQ, even if the singer himself doesn't want to.The singer's agent and company will also tie them up.

After noon.

Creek and Bloomberg meet and leave, and Abe leaves the Woolworth House.

In a motorcade circle, he left Manhattan.

He was going to an area of ​​Brooklyn he rarely visited.

Brooklyn is the most populous of the five boroughs in New York City.

It has a large population of about 200 million and a very large area of ​​251 square kilometers.These two criteria are the highest among the five boroughs of New York City.

If the districts of New York are independent cities, then Brooklyn is the third most populous city after Los Angeles and Chicago, and it can also be regarded as the fourth largest city in the United States.

As characteristic of the United States as a nation of immigrants, and especially of New York City, a cosmopolitan capital, Brooklyn has residents from nearly every corner of the globe.

It is also for this reason that in the 1980s and 1990s, it was famous for its poor law and order.

Fortunately, since Giuliani, the mayor of New York City, took office, the law and order has been greatly improved, and the quality of living has gradually improved.

But even so, after Abel entered the area.

The number of vehicles in his fleet has also increased to as many as seven.

Six accompanying Cadillac cars and SUVs were loaded with a total of 6 rock security staff.

Including Lincoln and Edward on the Cadillac monster car, a total of 26 bodyguards and a driver accompanied him.

At the same time, what is even more outrageous is that when Klick separated from Abel, he knew that he was coming to Brooklyn.

Today, the chief of the chief, who showed his love for the police and the people with Abel, also made several phone calls on purpose.

The result of those phone calls.

It was Abel's motorcade as soon as it crossed the Brooklyn Bridge.

This side of the Brooklyn Bridge.

There are five branch bureaus in Brooklyn, which sent seven police cars and 21 mounted police officers on motorcycles to patrol within 200 meters of the convoy.

There are even two police helicopters on standby directly on the apron above the two sub-bureaus.

This made Abel in the rear compartment of the Cadillac monster feel happy physically and mentally.

It also made Abel feel that he is now a real New York coward.

It is not in vain that I have been tirelessly investing in this place.

"Huh, at this time, if someone from the Mafia, the Blood Gang, or the Lame Gang came out and slapped me in the face, that would be great."

Boringly knocking on the car window, looking at the passing Brooklyn street scene outside the window, Abel couldn't help but feel emotional.

It's a pity that there are not so many face-slapping links in reality.

Those gang members are not stupid, seeing such a fleet of all luxury Cadillacs.

Already have run as far as possible.

What's more, there are so many police cars and mounted police in places visible to the naked eye.

No matter how arrogant a gang member is, it is impossible to come up to die in this situation.

If you want to slap your face, unless Abel wears a famous brand and runs to the black district of Brooklyn alone.

But this is also impossible. For Abel, who can't wait to bring the special PMC personnel of the Rock Security Company, he can't do such a risky thing.

In this way, Abel has a great momentum all the way.

Soon came the Bensenhe district of Brooklyn, a small sports arena on the edge of New York's East River.

As soon as he got to the outside of the stadium, through the car window, Abel could see the parking lot of the stadium, where a large number of vehicles were parked.

Many of them are luxury cars and nanny cars.

Around the parking lot, you can also see more reporters, photographers, and videographers.

The reason for such a scene is because it started on October 10th.

Many famous singers and musicians in the United States suddenly appeared here.

These big stars come in batches every day and leave one after another.

They are rehearsing for the concert in this small stadium.

They are preparing for a charity fundraising concert in Times Square on the night of October 10.

As the chairman of Smith Media.

Abel, the mastermind behind the entire concert, has never been here.

I just chatted with Bloomberg about the concert today, and he has nowhere to go in the afternoon.

Abel decided to come here to have a look.

The person in charge of this concert is Michael Levine, the son of Anne Hathaway's mother's godfather.

Who called the fashion show on Christmas Eve last time, and Michael Levin, who was in charge of organizing it, did it very well.

Michael Levine has more experience hosting concerts in Times Square than anyone else.

Abel naturally left the matter to him.

Michael Levine, one of the presidents of Smith Media and the CEO of Elizabeth Back Garden Company, also shoulders this responsibility.

With the help of David Geffen, the producer of DreamWorks Music, he was in charge of everything for this very hasty concert with a huge lineup and layout.

Because the preparation time is less than ten days, even with the help of a lot of resources provided by Abel.

Even if you have already experienced it once.

Michael Levine was equally busy, and there were too many things for Michael to worry about.

When Abel arrived.

What Abel saw was Michael Levin, whose mouth was bubbling.

He was scolding a black singer who was dressed very hip-hop in the audience.

"Fack you! I have given you time for several days! This is the answer you gave me!? Fark you!!? Fark you!!"

"We were singing in Times Square! At least hundreds of millions of Americans will be able to see it, and hundreds of millions in the world! You want to sing these shit in front of hundreds of millions of people!!"

"Fake you!! Look at the lyrics you gave me! Five songs, what are the lyrics? The lyrics for Fake are some police bastards, this woman's ass is really big, the government wants to kill us ordinary people Ah, mother is the greatest, the gold chain has to be thick enough to be worthy, kill the enemy with one shot."

"Fack you! Except one mother is the greatest, which one do you think is suitable to sing in the square?!! Fake you! Fake you!!"

The voice of Fake YOU resounded through the audience.
