America's Road To Wealth Chapter 110

  Chapter 110 Ikana's Nervousness (510 begging to subscribe)

  Amanda Hearst's request, Abel knew it was very common in this circle.

  Children of rich people go to some well-known companies for gold plating and gain knowledge.

  After you come out, you can write on your resume that you have worked in a certain company.

  And the senior executives of the company often give this child various praises.

  Similar unspoken rules like this, there are also letters of recommendation necessary for admission to prestigious universities.

   are very common operations in this circle.

  For example, the candidate of the Xiang Party is able to enter Yale University.

   It is because his father is a well-known alumnus of this university.

   And wrote him a letter of recommendation, and then this candidate didn't even need to take an exam, and he became a student of Yale University grandiosely.

   To put it bluntly, it is the exchange of favors and connections.

  This is also the reason why the resumes of elites from European and American backgrounds look very exciting.

   People who don't know the details, seeing the resumes of these people, will subconsciously think that they are just that powerful.

   Actually?

   It cannot be said that all of them are embroidered pillows, but most of them are gilded characters like this.

  If you change to the previous Abel, you will face Amanda Hearst's request.

   Abel will most likely refuse without even thinking about it.

  But now he is already thinking about embracing the social circle.

   Create your own social circle.

   Then he pays more attention to things like contacts than before.

   Facing Amanda Hearst's request, he didn't directly agree but didn't directly refuse either.

   "Ha~" He smiled and said to Amanda Hearst: "Well. I personally agree."

   "But you should ask Ms. Hurst for her opinion?"

  The favor of Amanda Hearst mainly fell on Anne Hearst.

  Amanda Hearst is underage now, and he remembers an alternate time and space.

   Until the time when she crossed over, Amanda Hearst had not yet been in power in the Hearst family.

   It is useless to give Amanda favors, what is useful is the mother and family behind her.

   Amanda's mother is right in front of him, of course he depends on the other party's opinion.

   Amanda's mother is Anne Hearst, one of the heirs of the Hearst Media Group.

  The Hearst Group is one of the largest diversified media groups in the world.

  Its main business involves 15 daily newspapers, 34 weekly magazines and more than 300 magazine publications worldwide.

   At the same time, it also covers 29 local TV stations in 18% of American households, cable TV networks such as ENetworks and ESPN.

  In addition, it also involves comprehensive businesses such as commercial publishing, e-commerce, TV production, newspaper distribution and real estate.

   It is one of the giants in the industry.

  The contacts of the Hearst family are quite valuable.

   Amanda Hearst's request, if it is just the girl's private thoughts.

  That wouldn't make much sense to Abel, but if Anne Hurst agreed.

  That means that Anne Hurst owes Abel a small favor.

  Not to mention other aspects, if Abel needs it in the future, he wants to give something to his descendants or relatives.

   Looking for an opportunity to work or intern in the Hearst Group, the Hearst family is too embarrassed to refuse, right?

   Besides, this is just a trivial matter, just a few days of practice.

  In American universities, there are too many such things.

   "If it doesn't bother you." At some point, Anne Hurst had ended her conversation with Murdoch's Chinese wife.

  To be honest, Abel doesn't know what Murdoch likes in the other party, it should not be appearance.

  That is probably ability.

  The lady smiled and said: "I agree with Amanda entering Mr. Smith's company as an intern."

   "I think it must be good for the kid, and let her understand what a real business elite and financial elite are."

   "Ha~" Abel smiled: "In that case, then Miss Hurst. You are welcome to come to Smith Capital to report tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, within these two days."

   "Thank you." Amanda Hearst showed a girlish smile.

  Anne Hurst also nodded to Abel and thanked him with a smile.

   "Thank you, Mr. Smith."

  Abel waved his hand to show that there is no need to be so polite.

  Ikana, who was sitting next to him, was still having a pleasant conversation with John J. Brown's wife on the surface.

  But my heart is already much tighter.

   Fortunately, at this time, John J. Brown on the stage had finished his speech.

   Then this guy was actually on stage and started performing.

   is a fire-eating stick show.

   "Watch, ladies and gentlemen. Watch as I might burn my throat and even burn my lungs."

   "Please, gentlemen and ladies, be more generous in the donations that will be made later!"

  I saw John J. Brown, taking a stick with a burning flame from the other person next to him.

  Then raise your head, lower your head, and swallow the stick. That is called coherence.

  Amidst the astonishment and shock of the audience, John J. Brown came like this three times in a row.

   Abel was surprised when he saw it.

   Is this doing acrobatics?

   "How? Is it worth asking you to donate one million? I took a very big risk."

  Holding a stick that was burning with flames and even emitting black smoke, John J. Brown yelled loudly.

  At the same time, Abel heard Mrs. John J. Brown talking to Ikana in a low voice—

   "Ma'am, this looks too dangerous. How did Mr. Bai Lang do it!"

   "John has been practicing this for a month. It's not easy, but it's not as thrilling as it looks. Don't worry, Ikana."

   "Oh oh oh ~ okay."

  On the stage, John J. Brown began to call for donations after a thrilling performance and agitation.

   "Is there any generous Oxfam gentleman who is willing to donate one million dollars? Please stand up and let everyone admire your greatness!"

   "Hear that? Stand up, it's a million dollars!"

  As soon as his voice fell, almost everyone on the most important table stood up.

  Including Abel, Murdoch and others, not counting John J. Brown himself, it is already four million dollars.

   Applause sounded immediately, and at the same time, people stood up at other tables.

  At a glance, there were about seven or eight people.

  Then John J. Brown shouted again: "Okay, you don't want to donate one million."

   "What about half a million dollars? Next up is half a million dollars. Stand up, ladies and gentlemen."

   One after another, many people stood up again.

  This time it was much more than the one million dollars.

   "Okay. $500,000, looks like it's over. So... $100,000, any kind sir or lady stand up?"

   The applause broke out again, and more people stood up.

  Abel glanced over and counted down tonight.

  John J. Brown and the four media giants can probably raise at least 20 million US dollars in charitable funds.

   In most charity banquets, this number is not small.

  Even if it is a charity auction with the blessing of auction items, it can usually only be auctioned for this number.

   After the donation show.

  The next thing is to eat and drink, and start to walk around each other.

  In a real sense, the second half is the real core of tonight's charity banquet.

   These so-called high society are the most enthusiastic about ball field communication.

   "Hoo~"

  John J. Brown came down from the stage and sat in his wife's place.

   Across his wife and Ikana, he smiled and said to Abel:

   "It's really not easy. I almost worked my life to get so much money."

  John J. Brown's wife gave him a light slap and said with a smile:

   "This is not money you get. The money is going to the United Nations Children's Charity Fund, and a dozen other charitable funds and institutions!"

   "Hahaha~"

  John J. Brown laughed heartily and smiled at several other media giants:

   "Everyone, it's your home game next."

  Murdoch raised his glass to John J. Brown and smiled: "Thank you, John~ Cheers to your adventurous spirit just now!"

   "Cheers!" John J. Brown raised his glass directly.

"cheers!"

  Anne Hurst and others also raised their glasses, and everyone drank together.

  Next, Anne Hearst, Murdoch and others left the table one after another, and went to other places nearby.

  As they left the table, many people also left their table to find their own circle.

   Circles of at least two or three people, and as many as five or six people, gradually formed in this way.

   There are more than 20 tables, few of them are still sitting, and they have all gone to the sofa, bar and other places next to them.

   This is the so-called upper-class ball field culture in New York.

  At Abel's table, only he and John J. Brown remained.

   And each other's female companions.

   "Ha~ New Yorkers like this." John J. Brown said to Abel:

   "But now in Houston and Dallas, that's actually the case. In contrast, I prefer to go to the farm to grill a large piece of beef!"

Abel smiled: "Then when you are free, you are welcome to come to my farm as a guest. Tarrant County, First Smith Farm. There are five kinds of beef cattle, no matter what taste you like. Of course, there are also lamb and horse meat , even dog meat."

  Ikana couldn't help but look at Abel, her eyes widened slightly.

  Obviously dogs are good friends of human beings!

  They are so cute, how can

   But Ikana also knows, in the South and Central America.

  Even on the east coast, many Americans like to eat dog meat.

  Born in rural Texas, Abel has this habit.

   is also considered normal.

   She comforted herself like this.

   "Of course." John J. Brown said with a smile: "Next time I go back to Texas, I must be a guest!"

  Abel smiled back, raised his glass and said, "Cheers."

   "Cheers." John J. Brown also raised his glass.

  His wife and Ikana also smiled and raised their cups, and each took a little drink.

  Afterwards, John J. Brown's face became serious.

  He asked softly: "Abel, I wonder when you plan to go back to Texas?"

  Abel raised his eyebrows and replied directly: "It may be soon, or it may be later."

  John J. Brown nodded, and then he said meaningfully:

   "Better hurry up. Because Mr. Hunter, Mr. McKison, Mr. Elkins and Mr. Richardson, etc., want to see you very much."

   "Understood." Abel smiled: "I'll go back in a few days after I've settled the matter here. After all, my father also needs a little help from me."

   "Hahaha~"

   Seeing Abel answer so quickly, John J. Brown laughed heartily again.

  This guy's laughter is easy to give people a good impression.

   I don't know if I have practiced it specially, or I have been trained by a special grooming trainer.

  In short, his laughter easily gives people a sense of déjà vu that this person is a "cheerful person".

   "Please rest assured." John J. Brown said in an ambiguous tone:

   "Mr. Smith will probably be able to succeed. He is very popular in Tarrant County."

  Abel smiled: "If that's the case, that would be great."

  The two chatted for a while, and then John J. Brown and his wife stood up.

   "I am very happy tonight because I met you, dear Abel."

  John J. Brown said with a smile: "But I can't stay here all night."

   "I want to go to other friends and chat with them. I think Abel, you should also have this need?"

   "Sure. Go ahead."

   After greeting Abel, John J. Brown and his wife said goodbye to Ikana and walked away.

  On this table, only Abel and Ikana were left.

   "Hoo~"

  Abel had just exhaled lightly when he saw the smiling Ikana and asked suddenly:

   "Abel, you said, John J. Brown. Is it the J. Brown of the Texas Consortium?"

  Abel looked at her. The latter may be the reason why he drank some wine just now, and his face was ruddy and very beautiful.

  He smiled:

   "Otherwise? John is the general manager of the New York branch of the Texas Commercial Bank. It's this last name again, what do you think?"

  Ikana nodded, her beautiful eyes looked at Abel, as if they were dotted with starlight.

   "Then Mr. J. Brown just now is obviously inviting you."

   "Ha~ Did you see it too?"

  Abel was in a good mood, looking at the extremely beautiful Ikana in a red dress.

  He couldn't help reaching out and grabbing the opponent's little hand.

  The latter twitched subconsciously, but failed.

  Abel skipped the topic just now, and didn't let go, and immediately continued:

   “We can't just sit here all the time, we should move around too.”

   "Otherwise, it would be a waste of time tonight. It would also be a waste of the one million I just had."

   While speaking, he gently pulled Ikana up.

  Hearing what he said, Ikana no longer withdrew her hand.

   Instead, let him hold his hand, because the female companions of other guests are like this.

   At such a banquet, on such an occasion.

  Talk to other people more, communicate more with other people, and get in touch with other people more.

  It is always good for the so-called high society.

   For many business elites, many business opportunities.

   Sometimes it often comes from such a banquet.

  For example, Cucumber in Hong Kong Island was once at a banquet, and just heard a few more words from the ghost at the next table.

  The next day he bought a building and spent 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

  A week later, this building made him 700 million Hong Kong dollars.

  That was Hong Kong Island in the 1970s, and 700 million Hong Kong dollars was almost equivalent to one-third of his net worth at that time.

  The business intelligence obtained from a banquet earned one-third of his net worth.

  This exaggerated income is of course related to Cucumber's keen investment and businessman's sense of smell.

  But if there is no platform for upper-class social networking, then even having such a keen sense of smell is useless.

  So although such social occasions, most of them are useless.

  Occasional effects can also benefit real business elites a lot.

   What's more, even if you don't get any good business information, you can get to know more elites from other industries.

  It is also very helpful to these celebrities.

  The higher the social situation, the more so.

   This is whether it is the queen of Ball, the king of Ball, or the real business elite.

   are all keen to participate in this kind of banquet occasion.
