America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 687
"Well, I see. This is just a trivial matter and will not affect our progress."

Time soon came to August, and Abel was still in the San Francisco Bay Area.

He just received a call from New York.

It is a matter related to Hudson Yards. Simply put, it is a small shareholder of the project. Something happened within the family, which may affect the project.

Bloomberg called him and told him about it.

"It's just that someone died. People die every day in the United States. Although a rich man's child died this time, it's nothing. Everything remains the same."

After Abel finished speaking, he hung up the phone, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the night view of San Francisco outside, shook his head and sighed softly.

I don’t know if all wealth heirs are so annoying. No matter the country, region or nationality, the rich second generation are almost synonymous with desire and wealth, but they can’t get rid of the entanglement of scandals.

Abel thought about the business empire he had built, and what his children would be like in the future. Perhaps, there would also be such prodigal sons who only spend money and even damage their bodies.

After all, I have so many children, it is impossible for me to control everyone.

No, I must not let wealth erode my children into waste!
Abel squinted his eyes slightly and made a decision. Wealth is a double-edged sword for children. If it is used well, it can make children even more powerful. If it is not used well, it can only kill them faster. sword.

When your children start to go to school, you must not be used to it, let alone let them develop the habit of squandering.

Do you want to build your own kindergarten or primary school?
After thinking about this, Abel picked up his mobile phone and called Ikana. Soon, the phone was picked up. Hearing Ikana's sweet voice, Abel, who was a little heavy in his heart, felt much better.

"My dear, I have some news to tell you. It's not a big deal, but I still think it's better to let you know."

"Giggle, what news do you want to tell me specifically? Is it good news or bad news?" Ikana asked with a sweet smile on the phone.

"It should not be good news. Not long ago, Maria Goldman was found dead in her New York apartment."

"Oh God -" Ikana exclaimed.

As a wealthy New York socialite in the same age range, Ikana hasn't been in New York for a long time.

But hearing the news of the death of a former friend, I was somewhat embarrassed.

"She has said many times that her life will not be too long. She has always said that she will not live to be 30 years old. Unexpectedly..."

The reason why Abel made this special call was that the Goldman Sachs family was one of the minority shareholders of the Hudson Yards project.

Maria Goldman, who also died from this drug overdose, was Ikana's classmate in high school and junior high school.So he mentions it to her by the way.

As for this Goldman Sachs family, it is not that Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs Group's name actually comes from the "Gao family" and "Sheng family". After the merger of the two founding families, Shenks and Goldman, Goldman Sachs became Goldman Sachs.

The Goldman of Maria Goldman is just that, and has nothing to do with the Goldman of Goldman and Shenks.

The New York-based Goldman Sachs family's wealth comes from real estate -- they own more than 400 properties in New York, including a 17 percent stake in the World Trade Center development.

Solil Goldman created Solil Management when he started buying bank auction properties on the cheap in the 20s.

The company had a percentage of the Hudson Yards site, and Abel brought them on board when he called for the project.

There are a lot of similar minority shareholders, mainly local snakes from all walks of life in New York in this project.

It is because there are so many people sharing a piece of the pie at the same time, and the Hudson Yards renovation project that started with all kinds of difficulties in the parallel time and space will become so easy when it comes to Abel.

At the same time, this is one of the reasons why Abel can respond to everyone in New York.

Now he is a cash cow and a certain interest leader for many New York rich and powerful families.

There is no conflict of interest, there is an exchange of interests, and you can still get benefits from him.

Well these New Yorkers don't mind supporting a Texan as their head.

After chatting with Ikana for a while, Abel ended the call. Abel returned to the bedroom and went to bed with Scarlett Johansson, who had rushed over two days ago, to sleep.

Having said that, Scarlett has "grown up".

At Abel's request, she did not undergo any bear shrinkage surgery.

And because Abel liked it so much, she even specially strengthened the nutrition and protection in this area, which was even greater than in parallel time and space.

Make Abel very happy.

In the morning of the next day, Abel watched the news of the death of a rich second-generation celebrity that was being reported on the front pages of major newspapers, and couldn't help shaking his head, "Entertainment to death!"

Abel closed the newspaper and said helplessly.

No way, entertainment is the media hegemony of this era.No matter what method is used, it is only for bloggers to laugh, and artistic value and ethics can be put aside. It can be said that "the one who wins entertainment wins the world".

Regardless of the content and whatever the perspective, the entire purpose of the medium is to entertain readers.

"God, I didn't expect that Warren Beatty is such a huge stallion. It's so disgusting..."

At the breakfast table, Scarlett Johansson, who was also reading the newspaper, suddenly exclaimed, with a disgusted expression on his face, the corners of Abel's mouth twitched a few times, and asked dumbfoundingly : "What happened to Warren Beatty?"

Warren Beatty was a popular Hollywood actor in the 70s, almost as popular as Tom Cruise or Leonardo DiCaprio today.

"Look, this is a super stallion in human skin! The media broke the news that Warren Beatty was tapped when he was discussing with his friends a few days ago. During the discussion, Warren Beatty said that he I have actively or passively had sex with 12775 women, my God...12775!"

Abel took the newspaper and listened to Scarlett's complaints. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch again. He looked at the newspaper in disbelief. The more he looked at it, the more he admired it.

Nima, the 67-year-old Warren Beatty is not a first brother even though he is almost 20 years old.

But he has slept with almost all the beauties in Hollywood for decades, some of whom he dated before, and some of whom he dated, including top female stars of the last century such as Jane Fonda and Joan Collins.

Oh, and not surprisingly, Madonna.

According to the number of women exposed, in an average of 47 years, he slept with 240 five women every year.

Of course, this is very unscientific. After all, as he ages, his physical strength will definitely not be able to keep up. If it is shortened to 30 years, then this guy will have OOXX with two women almost every day, and it is not the same. of……

This is Nima's humanoid self-propelled artillery!
Old scum!
Respectable old-timer.

Although Abel knew that there was probably some exaggeration in it.

In order to attract attention, the media probably personally added Warren Beatty several times.

But Abel felt that even if it was reduced by 10 times, 1277 would be an exaggeration.

When Abel thought of himself being compared with this guy, he was really insignificant. There was no way to compare with the old scum. It was like a heaven and an underground, or the eighteenth floor underground.

It seems that I am really too pure, too pure!
Time passed, and Abel stayed in the San Francisco Bay Area until mid-August.

At this time, the internal elections of the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party also started.

In California, some media broke out that this year is the year of the "shrub" family.

Why do you say that?
Because in Florida, there is Florida Governor Jeb Shrub.In the white house, there is George Bush.

In California, Neil Shrub, who just became a member of the House of Representatives two years ago, also came out to participate in the internal election of the Donkey Party this year. If he wins, he can represent the Donkey Party in the California general election this year.

Once both George and Neil win this year, the Shrub family will be able to have two governors and one general at the same time, which is more successful and exaggerated than any political family in American history.

There is a lot of praise in the article, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is flattery.Because this newspaper has always been on the side of the Donkey Party, and the main support is Neil's competitor within the Donkey Party, so this report has no good intentions.

Although strictly speaking, the general election does not start for more than three months.

However, the smell of gunpowder between the two parties has frequently appeared in the media.

The actual election campaign has already begun in advance, and interested people from all walks of life have appeared in the media and started their performances in front of potential voters and intended voters.

No one will really wait until December to take action. It will be too late to come out and ask voters to vote for you by then.

Studies have shown that voters are more likely to vote for politicians they know.

Therefore, starting from July and August, politicians need to appear in the media one after another, trying their best to show their faces in front of voters and try to become familiar with them.

However, it will not really start canvassing votes directly, because the United States has relevant regulations that can only be formally canvassed after the election period.

Strictly speaking, the warm-up should start now.

So whether it was Neil, George, or Abel's father, they all started their own actions.

It was also at this time that Abel returned to New York, where he was loyal.

In New York in August, the weather is at its hottest.

A light rain last night made Manhattan look a little stuffy today.

Tourists and passers-by walking on Fifth Avenue were dripping with sweat.

The surrounding businesses are very smart, and the air conditioning is turned on very loudly, which is very attractive.

But none of the shops on Fifth Avenue sell bargains, only luxury goods or brand-name goods.

Ordinary people can't afford it, and only the rich who live on the island of Manhattan and the rich among tourists can choose from a wide range of branded goods while blowing the air conditioner in the shops.

1150 Fifth Avenue, Carnegie Hill Apartment No. 18th floor.

This is a 7-bedroom, 9-bathroom, 7500-square-foot apartment located on the 18th floor of Carnegie Hill Building on Fifth Avenue.

All along, this house has served as Anne Hathaway's residence in New York.

Like now, she took her children back to New York to visit relatives, and lived here after returning from New Jersey.

Annie's child is called Al Smith. This beautiful and adorable little boy is almost one year old.

It was the age of learning to walk. At this time, Annie was smiling, accompanied by two parenting experts, training to attract her son to walk.

Watching him learn to walk, from the master bedroom to the living room, a little bit through a lounge with huge French windows, two long art corridors full of murals and decorations.

"Oh, Al is awesome! Oh, my little one!"

"You are so awesome, come to mom! Come to mom, haha..."

Hugging the son who rushed over with a smile, Annie and the little baby rolled into a ball on the carpet, next to the huge French windows.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the artificial lake in the middle of Central Park not far away.

August is the most beautiful time in Central Park, and it is green in the past.

The artificial lake in the middle of the park is even more blue and sparkling under the sunlight at ten o'clock in the morning!

This scene made Anne feel a little dazed. A few years ago, it should have been 4 years.

At that time, I was sitting here at the same time, looking at the beautiful scenery of Central Park.

She remembered that she and Abel had just known each other for two months, and she became his girlfriend and moved in here.

At that time, Abel seemed to be in a hurry to go back to Texas and left himself here.

How time flies and I wasn't even 18 at the time.

Now, she looked at her son, who was lying on the glass with both hands, babbling at the bottom.

Now her son can almost walk on his own.

While feeling emotional, suddenly the housekeeper came over and said with joy on her face:

"Madam, Mr. Sefolossa said Mr. Smith is on his way!"

"Who? Mr. Smith?" Anne was stunned for a moment, then realized, "You said Abel is on his way over?"

"Yes." The housekeeper said with a smile as she watched the hostess look surprised.

"Ah!" Annie jumped up happily. Al was supporting her mother, but now she fell down on the soft carpet and couldn't help crying.

"Oh, baby, I'm sorry, Mom is so happy! Your father is coming, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't cry!"

Annie quickly picked up Al and comforted him, and handed Al to the nanny as soon as he stopped crying. She hurried into the room and started putting on makeup.

Because she didn't plan to go out today, she didn't put on any makeup when she got up in the morning, she just took care of herself.

Women are the ones who please themselves, not to mention so many competitors.Annie, like other women, hope that Abel will only see his beautiful side forever.

It’s just that Abel came too quickly.

She was only halfway through her make-up, and the housekeeper told her that the master had arrived.

Before she could finish putting on her makeup and go out, she saw Abel walking in with a smile on his face and holding his son in his arms.

Seeing the harmonious relationship between the father and son, Annie felt that the whole room brightened up in an instant.
