America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 431 Invitation from the Rich Family on the East Coast

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

There was no turmoil in Abel's heart.

Long before he decided to eat the thorny rose, 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 with a hint of pink, and thin lips like rose petals. Delicate. Tender. Delicate. Delicate. Delicate.

Just in terms of looks and stature.

Abel felt that Peggy was much prettier than Little Laura, 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 you this."

Abel nodded, and didn't let David or Alan who were waiting next to him pick him up.

The two of them, who were 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.

It's the smell of Gucci Bloom perfume.

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

The reason why this Gucci Bloom can be smelled immediately.

It's 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."

Being able to remember so clearly is simply because Abel's current memory is extraordinary.

It's the same as his body that can be at the peak of human condition without exercising.

Like financial talent, it is the benefit of Abel traveling through time and space.

In front of Peggy, Abel opened the beautiful and classic 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 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 be there."

Abel suddenly understood why Robert would leave such a small matter of sending letters to his most precious granddaughter.

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

"Thank you, Paige."

Abel said softly.

"Ah."

Peggy glanced at him calmly with eyes as bright as sapphires, "Then I'm leaving."

Abel: "Um...okay."

Abel finished.

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 them were motionless, did not dare to make a sound, and even lowered their breathing as much as possible.

Because from the moment 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 to Abel saw the boss turn back to them.

"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 in the American Major League Baseball that belongs to the American League.The home court is located in the Browns district of New York.

Just before Peggy came to deliver the invitation.

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

In Abel's name, there has always been a humble company called Smith Sports.

It started off as standalone.

Later, 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 portion of shares in F1 Holdings.

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

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

Of course, after covering several layers of skins, these offshore companies are actually all sole proprietorships of Abel.

The reason for this is mainly for reasons of tax avoidance and mutual shareholding, which increases security.

The core shares of those big companies and big consortia 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 was 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 of Abel's 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 that this industry often has on ordinary people.

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

Seeing the boss recovering 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 subsequently 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 chairman and president of the team, and he played a very important role in the operation of the Giants."

After listening to the words of the chief consultant and general manager of Smith Intelligence Group.

Abel nodded and said, "The key lies in the Tisch family and this 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, I want their stocks."

David nodded, knowing that for the boss, things that can be solved with money are always 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."

"It's simple."

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 superstars in MLB."

Allen nodded.

"All right."

"Now tell me, why is it so hard to buy the New York Yankees?"

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. The guy said, because you're a Texan, Yankees fans wouldn't like a Dixie owner..."

"Fack the Snow!!"

This was some nonsensical reason, so Abel couldn't help but utter dirty words.

Dixie can't be the owner of the Yankees, what the hell reason?
"Fack! I remember this guy, he seems to be from Ohio? I saw him, at a banquet in New York. I remember he was a German immigrant who came in the Gilded Age. What right do you have to despise Texas?"

The boss looked 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 approached him and wanted to shake hands with him.

At that time, Abel also agreed with Shi Yi Newhouse's intention in the spirit of Hong Zu's famous saying.

"Contact George Steinbrenner again, and if he still refuses, I'll call Shi Yi Newhouse."

Abel said directly.

Both David and Allen nodded.

After the acquisition of two local commercial sports companies in New York, 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.

Just as they were about to go out, they heard Abel calling them over.

"By the way, David and Alan, make arrangements. We will go to Europe in the middle of this month."

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

Watching the two leave, Abel stood up from the spacious and soft sofa in the lounge area and walked to the huge French 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 US national power, and the expansion of influence.

"Broadway" has gradually become 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 that time.

Looking down at the traffic on Broadway.

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

Cell phone number 1, his personal cell phone.

He called his fiancée's phone.

"Hello~"

"Honey, let's go to Long Island tonight."

"To Robert Morgenthau's birthday party. The old man, who is a great partner of mine in New York."

"That's it, I'll send someone to pick you up later."

……

……

The Morgenthau family estate, surrounded by a lush wooded landscape on Long Island.

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

If you 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 has the feeling of a pocket Swan Castle.

When Abel and little Laura arrived.

The big black 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 words "Dives non est omnia" written in white Latin on the gate of the black mansion.

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

The general idea is that "wealth is not everything".

After reading this 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 also 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.

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

"Welcome to you, Abel, oh, Miss Laura Bush, you are so 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 said politely.

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

Robert is stationed in Manhattan, a land of every inch of land, and prosecutors have been doing it for decades.

You know, that's Manhattan, the home of Wall Street.

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

Two of Robert's brothers, the younger one was even expected to be one of the High.Judges.

The other is also the attorney general of a state.

Even if there is a factor of background, but the 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, nothing has been accomplished.

Now he is the head of the legal department of the newly established Hudson City Group, which 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 this place in the United States, being able to reincarnate well is a super skill in itself.

"Hehe, it's our honor, please..."

Georges 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 them 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 tonight, he can't favor one person over another.

Even if he really wanted to continue chatting with Abel, he could only politely signal Abel to go in first.

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

He found very coincidentally the same as last time.

Bloomberg came after him again, taking his wife, to the Morgenthau mansion.

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

This time, beside him was a beautiful fiancee with an elegant smile on her face.

Seeing Blumberg waving to him, Abel smiled and slowed down little Laura.

After Bloomberg and George Morgenthau are 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? Last time too."

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

"let's go."

They couldn't block 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 an elegant temperament, and their eyes were full of fascination with little Laura who looked at him. Together with Michael Bloomberg and his wife, they walked into the magnificent and luxurious hall like daytime .

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.
