America's Road To Wealth Chapter 106

  Chapter 106 Ikana's Crisis (110 for subscription)

  David Mellon thinks it is unnecessary, mainly because of the cost.

   Getting any firm on the Vault leaderboard to act is expensive.

   Getting so many families to act together, not to mention the cost.

   But from Abel's point of view, he felt that it was necessary to do so.

Costly?

   Really expensive.

  The cost of the whole process is estimated to be able to buy one or two more villas in Long Island.

   But he felt the need.

   There are two reasons.

  One is that he wants to vent his anger.

   After more than ten months of rebirth, wealth and freedom.

  He can say that he is not angry at all, enjoying all kinds of freedom.

  The enjoyment of this period of time has already developed a kind of spirit in him.

  Robert Morgenthau and those people behind him did this to him, and he will not retaliate.

  He couldn't swallow his breath.

  Even in reality, due to some scruples and he has almost nothing wrong with him.

   What Robert and the others did did not actually hurt him at all.

  He was just as angry.

   It can only be said that people's ambition and temper always follow the environment in which they live.

   and the resources you own are constantly changing.

  The current Abel is no longer the one who has just been reborn and is careful about everything he does.

  The second reason is that he believes that doing so can also be a kind of deterrence in a sense.

   Deter who?

  Robert Morgenthau, and the people behind him.

   All the while, Abel in New York. They all acted harmless to humans and animals, and looked like they were benevolent.

   Has never been **** anyone, and has never been aggressive.

   Except on the capital battlefield.

   Over time, people may have the idea that his character is weak.

  This time, Abel didn't intend to just let it go.

  He intends to spend tens of millions or hundreds of millions of dollars.

   Also make it clear that Abe Smith is an impulsive young man.

  It is very likely that under impulse, you will do some irrational things that waste money and burn money.

  Although this is done, there may be no way to avoid the coveting of some people and certain forces.

   But at least it can make them somewhat scruples.

   Even just a trace is enough.

  This is what Abel can think of. Currently, under the restrictions of the rules, it is the best and most harmful counterattack method for Robert.

   In the rules, facing his counterattack.

  Anyway, Abel couldn't think of any way for Robert Morgenthau to counter him.

   Knowing that value for money is also a rule in the capitalist world.

  There are reasons why these law firms and lawyers are so expensive.

  They are either extremely capable, or they have someone behind them like Caroline.

   These people took money, even if they were pretending, they had to target Robert.

   And the better you do it, the more money you can receive.

  In this way, even if some of them have a good relationship with Robert.

   For the sake of money, he must have put in some effort to make Robert flustered.

  Abel felt that this was within the rules of the game.

  My best way to fight back against the Manhattan District Attorney.

   Mainly now, there is no staff group, think tank, etc. around him.

  No one gives him advice, so he does it himself.

  And a 20-year-old fine arts graduate of a prestigious university in Texas, plus a 30-year-old Chinese Internet writer.

   Such a combination of two souls overlapped, he has only experienced ten months of capitalist life.

  The resources at hand that can be thought of and used.

   That's all there is to it, so that's all he can do.

   These are things that David Mellon doesn't understand, and Abel doesn't want to explain.

  David Mellon quickly skipped this topic when he saw his insistence.

   "Okay. As long as you like it. In short, Robert Morgenthau may be very embarrassed this time, and he will hate us in the future." David shrugged and said.

   "I didn't ask them to love." Abel said indifferently.

   Within the rules, he is really not afraid of Robert messing around.

   When his Texas and Rifle Association background is fake?

   If you really want to mess around, it's also Robert, a Yankee guy, who is afraid of Dixie like him messing around.

   "Okay." David said so, then he stood up and said while talking: "Hey, you said it last time. You will often participate in social activities in the future."

   "In the past half a month, many people have sent many invitations."

  David walked to the cupboard in his office and opened a beautiful drawer.

  Take out a thick stack of things from inside, and it looks like there are more than twenty sheets.

   are all kinds of invitations and invitations with exquisite appearance.

   "In fact, I have already selected these. They are valuable and worthy of the invitation of those you participate in."

  David put these things on the table in front of Abel.

   "There are actually more, at least two hundred.

  But I think that the value is not big, or the meaning is not big, I put it in the Secretariat.

  伱If you want to see it, you can also find Catherine Jones. "

  Catherine Jones is the beautiful girl who had a successful interview last time and officially joined Smith Capital.

  After a few days of internship, she was recommended by Zeta to work in the company's secretariat.

  Smith Capital's secretariat is mainly responsible for the company's external contact and public relations.

  This is because Smith Capital currently does not have any operational and management jobs.

   "Well done, how can I see so much? I don't think there are too many of these."

  Abel stood up and picked out an invitation letter at random.

  I opened it and found that it was a New York congressman.

  The other party invited Abel to attend the congressman's own birthday dinner invitation.

  Abel felt that he didn't know the other party, and there was no need to invite him to the other party's birthday dinner.

   But here is Lao Mei, Lao Mei has bought a new pet, and she can invite her neighbors over to have a party together.

  Birthday dinner is a good excuse to hold a party openly and expand your social circle.

  If it is possible, these political creatures, like Hope and Celestial People, can celebrate two birthdays a year.

   "David Luke, the name is the same as yours. I remember he is a donkey gang? A congressman from Brooklyn?" Abel asked uncertainly.

   There are really too many people named David in the United States.

   As much as John, Jack, Robert, etc.

   "Your memory is correct, that's it." David said: "But he will run again this year, and the constituency has been assigned to Manhattan.

  If he succeeds, he will be one of the members of Manhattan in the future. "

   "Not interested. I'm an elephant party, so I won't go to the donkey party's banquet." Abel shook his head.

   David shrugged, "Come on. Don't I know you yet?

  Elephants and donkeys don't matter to you. You're just an Abel Smith party. "

  Abel laughed, "Sure enough, you still understand me, David, you are really my good partner."

   While talking, he took out another invitation letter.

  I opened it and saw that the person who invited him was John J. Bai Lang is the general manager of the New York branch of Texas Commercial Bank.

   "The bank of Texas, the people of Texas." David looked at the invitation letter and explained:

   "You are also a Texan. I think you should be interested in this invitation."

  Holding the invitation letter, Abel nodded, "I am indeed interested. Let me see that the time is just tonight."

   "Well, let's take part in this."

   "Understood." David Mellon said: "But this is a charity banquet, and it is required to bring a female companion.

   Who are you going to take there? D. Ted Lerner's daughter?

  The other party didn't invite me, so I won't go tonight. "

   "Hey, you reminded me." Abel smiled and said, "Then I'll take her there. It's a date, see if I can find a chance to take her down."

  Seeing Abel's playful smile, David Mellon shook his head.

   Then David got serious and said, "Abel, D Ikana Lerner is different from other women.

  She has great self-control, ambition and endurance. "

   "I don't think you are suitable to provoke her, because your character and your hobbies are what she hates the most."

   "If you really want to be a celebrity, I think Paris Hilton is better."

   "Oh?" Abel wondered why David thought so. "Let's not talk about my hobbies and personality that you mentioned."

  Abel said: "As far as I know, Barry Hilton is far more authoritative than D. Ted Lerner, right? Why can he provoke Paris but not Ikana?"

  David shook his head, "This has nothing to do with Barry Hilton and D. Ted Lerner."

   "Paris is just a spoiled rich girl who doesn't understand anything and is easy to deceive. At most she has some cleverness."

  Abel complained: "It seems like you can be fooled."

   "Ahem—don't change the subject," said the single David.

   "Ikana's entrepreneurship is somewhat watery. But her IQ and ambition, these are not watery."

  "You have always abandoned Paris, and at most she will cry and scold you in the media."

   "If you give up on Ikana all the time, then she may bring you really big trouble."

  Facing David's evaluation, I thought about the future experience of Paris and Ikana in parallel time and space.

  Abel felt that what David Mellon said made sense.

   is concerned about himself, so Abel said: "Your suggestion makes sense. But the more this is the case, the more I don't like Paris."

   "Paris isn't pretty, is she out of shape?" David was curious.

  Paris, who is only 19 years old this year, has not yet started her wandering career.

  Youth coupled with rich family education, looks and figure are considered good.

  With the addition of Doikana at this time, the magic that has not yet been in time becomes more attractive.

   At this time, let a normal man choose Paris and Ikana, the result is really hard to say.

Of course.

  If there is no Abel.

   In two or three years, Paris will start to fail.

  Ikana started her most attractive period.

  If you had to choose at that time, no one would choose Paris.

   "No, it's not a question of beauty. It's a question of challenge. Paris makes me feel that there is nothing worth challenging."

   "Ikana has it."

  Abel said, "So tonight, I will invite Ikana to accompany me. Unless she refuses me."

David rolled his eyes, "It's up to you. In short, I have given you my advice. If you fall into the pit in the future, then I will not pull you. I will just stand on the edge of the pit and laugh at you loudly !"

"hehe!"

  Abel gave David a middle finger, "Let's go, I'm going to prepare for my date at night."

  David returned the same international gesture, shook his head and ignored him.

Six p.m,

  Night falls and the lights come on.

  Brilliant lights illuminate the entire Manhattan beautifully.

  The bright neon lights everywhere make this place like a paradise in the steel jungle.

  A black special-made Lincoln limousine, under the explicit and covert **** of several other vehicles.

   Driving on some congested streets in Manhattan.

   Even if it sells for as much as $300,000, it still has to be stuck in traffic.

  In the spacious rear compartment like a bar counter.

   Abel in a black suit sat lazily, next to Ikana in a gorgeous evening dress.

   "That's the bad thing about Manhattan. When the time comes, the traffic jam is the traffic jam. It doesn't matter if you're rich or poor, it's fair."

   "Who says it's not? If there were no such traffic jams, Manhattan at night would be more beautiful."

  The two communicated in low voices, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

"By the way." Abel said suddenly: "I saw a report in the "New York Times" yesterday, which said that "MISS Ikana" had encountered some troubles, and the capital chain was in danger. Ikana, it's true ?"

  Reporting on the "Miss Ikana" clothing brand, the reporter who encountered a crisis was named Thomas.

  New York has an unofficial history saying that this senior New York Times reporter had a grudge against D. Ted Lerner.

  The reason is because Thomas divorced five years ago.

   It was because of Thomas' wife, who joined D. Ted Lerner's real estate group at that time.

   Moreover, D. Ted Lerner's secretary.

  In addition, Thomas' wife is a beautiful blonde [big. wave] wavy, a standard big ocean horse.

   After that, the famous reporter.

   It is said that he especially loves to report bad news about D. Ted Lerner, his company, and even his family members.

  Ikana heard Abel mention it.

  She was startled, then smiled wryly, looking elegant and beautiful.

   "Abel, maybe you have heard of the grievances between Thomas Jones and my father."

   "If you have heard of it. Presumably you should think that it is only natural for him to make such a report."

   "Hahaha~" Abel laughed, "I only read it in the tabloids, and Mr. D. Ted Lerner seems to have done something to apologize to this reporter."

   "No. But I don't know the truth."

  Ikana probably didn't want to mention it, it was her father's scandal.

"but."

  Ikana changed the subject and said softly: "Thomas is not talking all nonsense.

  My company has indeed encountered some problems in terms of capital chain. "

  Ha~ Finally admitted.

   thought Abel.

  He said on the surface: "I would like to hear more about it."

  Ikana paused, as if she was considering her words.

   Then he said: "It's mainly my father's problem.

   "He had some trouble with loans, so he transferred funds from my side. This is what caused YKM's current situation."

  In fact, the real situation is similar to what she said, but it is far less relaxed than what Ikana said.

  The real situation is that D. Ted Lerner discovered that the second financing of MISS Ikana seems to be impossible to deceive.

  The other real estate group is in urgent need of funds to repay the loan.

  With no other sources of funds, he had no choice but to withdraw his investment in MISS Ikana.

  D·Ted Lerner thinks, MISS Ikana is down, it's down.

   In the future, when I have money, I can buy another one for my daughter.

   In case she goes bankrupt again, the survival of MISS Ikana is useless.

   Which is more important, D. Ted Lerner made it very clear.

   Then only Ikana will be unlucky.

   Originally, the second round of financing was not smooth, and now even the most important core assets, the most important properties supporting the market value of MISS Ikana, have to be withdrawn.

  MISS Ikana can be said to be experiencing the biggest crisis since its establishment.

  Abel actually knew all these things.

  Because of D. Ted Lerner's enemy, reporter Thomas.

   In yesterday's New York Times report, it has been clearly written.

  In the news, Thomas said that he followed MISS Ikana for three years.

  I have a very clear understanding of the situation of this clothing brand, and the article even exaggerates Ikana's experience in establishing this brand from scratch.

  Some may be true and some may be false.

  But Thomas finally concluded that YKM is a scam by D. Ted Lerner and his daughter.

  This scam is now going bankrupt, and Thomas gloated in the article.

   It is estimated that Ikana also knows that Abel has read the report yesterday and has a deep understanding of MISS Ikana.

  After saying the above words that somewhat shifted the responsibility to her father, she said again:

   "It's just a crisis, the situation is not as dangerous as Thomas said.

  Even if my father withdraws all the funds, the market value of MISS Ikana will be more than 100 million US dollars. "

  Abel nodded with a smile, and he suddenly asked: "So, does MISS Ikana welcome new investors?"

  Ikana's beautiful big eyes lit up, and she was a little confused.

   On the last date, she hinted at it a few times.

  Abel has never been interested in MISS Ikana.

   Unexpectedly, she didn't give much hint today.

   As a result, he said so himself.

   Ikana wanted to say it right away, of course you are welcome.

   It's just that she thinks that this kind of thing should be reserved, otherwise if Abel waits to bargain, she will be short of breath.

   She considered her tone and was about to speak.

   But at this moment, the convoy, which had been stuck in traffic for half an hour, just turned around a street.

   Entering here, the traffic flow will not be so dense and congested.

   Outside the street, there are New York police officers maintaining traffic order.

  Behind these policemen, there are quite a few reporters gathered together.

  The reporters are all shooting, not far away, the scene at the entrance of a hotel.

  John J. The hotel where Bai Lang held the charity banquet arrived.
