America's Road To Wealth Chapter 343

  Chapter 343 The Birth of the Smith Consortium

  Peggy Morgenthau tonight, obviously dressed up.

   Well, this sentence is bullshit. Which of the upper-class women participating in such an important reception would be sloppy?

   This has nothing to do with IQ, it is a woman's nature.

   What's more, tonight Peggy, as always, came with her grandfather.

  If she doesn't dress up well, Robert probably won't. That would be hurting the face of the Morgenthau family, which is something that a traditional stubborn family like them cannot tolerate.

  Tonight's Peggy has white teeth and red lips, her golden hair is tied behind her head, and her makeup is slightly mature, which is more like a lady's makeup.

  She was wearing a dark blue floor-length dress with a long skirt.

  The dark blue sleeveless mermaid skirt with a large v-neck, tight waist and bag hips, perfectly presents her proud white and tender bust curves and ravines, which are faintly visible and make people unable to look away.

  On Peggy's slender pink neck, there is a ribbon-shaped platinum diamond necklace, which is dazzling.

  This dress perfectly embellishes Peggy's graceful body, which is completely in the shape of a gourd, charming and dignified, contradictory and harmonious.

   After carefully looking at it, little Laura was a little discouraged.

  She found that she seemed to be a bit inferior to the other party in terms of appearance and figure.

   As for IQ

  Little Laura remembered this woman as a super talented child prodigy.

   Received a Juris Doctor degree in his teens, and is a very well-known real "child of other people" in political circles on the East Coast.

  Even little Laura in Texas heard about it.

  By family background.

   At this point, the current shrub family seems to win slightly.

  Compared to the shrub family that has had two leaderships, Morgenthau is a family of prosecutors and a family of justice.

   There was a big judge in Mogenthau's ancestors.

  The older generation of this generation, Robert and his three brothers, are all prosecutors in important areas of the United States.

  The youngest among them has a high probability of becoming the new justice.

  The premise is that one of the current chief judges just died, and then the chief commander who took office is a member of the donkey party.

  Young generation. The young generation of the shrub family, and there are no people now.

  Compared to her family background, Little Laura felt that she was a little better than her, but not much better.

  Finally compare the ability.

  Little Laura, whose talent is all about shrewdness and palace heart, doesn't want to compare at all.

  Comparing is just annoying.

  Little Laura finally found that she seemed to be inferior to Peggy in all aspects.

  Then why did Abel choose me?

  In addition to family background, little Laura thought of a big possibility.

  Excellent like Peggy, traditional and stubborn like the Morgenthau family.

  She and they will most likely not allow her husband, their son-in-law to be so bad in some way, right?

   On this point, the shrub family that climbed up completely by marriage in the early stage is more enlightened.

   So Abel chose me because of this?

  Little Laura thought this way, feeling that she had failed a bit.

   But anyway, he chose me in the end!

  Little Laura found her winning point, which made her smile confidently in front of Peggy.

  The two started a "cordial and friendly" conversation, with Li Xinyu watching the fun from the side.

   But in fact, it was mainly Laura who was asking, and Peggy's response was not very enthusiastic.

   After chatting for a few minutes, little Laura found that even if she wanted to surpass her verbally, she didn't seem to have any sense of accomplishment.

   Facing Peggy Morgenthau, little Laura felt like she was beating cotton and sucking air.

  So soft and weak, there is no feeling of victory at all.

   "Wow~"

  Just as little Laura was hesitating whether she was really inferior to Peggy.

  At the reception, almost everyone erupted into discussions.

  These voices attracted the attention of more than 30 ladies in the female guest area.

"what's going on?"

   "Why does it look so lively?"

   "Look over there!"

  A female guest pointed out that it was something that happened in the middle of the reception.

   I don't care about the lady's side.

  The female guest, who has been paying attention to the situation of the male guest, reminded in a low voice:

   "It seems that Mr. David Mellon just announced Smith Capital's financial report for this year?"

  Little Laura looked over and saw that the male guests were all taking things out of their pockets.

   Someone took it out first, it was a rough and clumsy invitation letter from Smith Capital, and many people took out the invitation letter to read it.

   Seeing this, little Laura showed a proud and proud smile on her face.

  She greeted the female guests including Peggy Morgenthau, smiled and said:

   "It's nothing, Mr. David Mellon should show everyone the invitation letter. The number on the invitation letter is the total profit of Smith Capital this year."

  Among the thirty or so female guests, there happened to be a few of them holding invitation letters.

  These ladies quickly took the invitation letter from their small bags.

   After a while, the fastest lady has opened the invitation letter.

  On the invitation letter, the lady only found a number【$458】at the end.

  Other numbers, there are only year, month, day, and time numbers.

   That obviously won't be the earnings number for Smith Capital this year.

   "【$458】? What does this number mean?" The lady couldn't help asking.

   "That's right. My invitation also has [$458] on it." Another woman also said:

   "$458? Or $4.58 million? $45.8 million? $458 million? It can't be $4.58 billion, or $45.8 billion?"

  They couldn't help looking at little Laura.

  The latter nodded with a reserved smile, and looked at Peggy with her beautiful eyes.

  Peggy still had that peaceful and gentle expression. When little Laura looked over, she even took the initiative to smile at little Laura.

  Little Laura had no choice but to smile back, and at the same time said softly:

   "Yes. Abel told me just now. The gross profit of Smith Capital this year is a total of 45.8 billion U.S. dollars!"

"Wow!"

   Among the female guests, the same discussion as that among the male guests just now erupted.

   Can participate in this reception tonight.

   It can also be a female guest brought by a male partner, boyfriend, or husband.

  None of them are ordinary women.

  Either came from a big family, rich family. .

  Either he is particularly capable, such as Wendy Deng who is mixed in the crowd and has a marginal status.

  She persuaded her husband to come with Murdoch, which is also a manifestation of her ability.

  Including Wendy Deng, everyone knows what a gross profit of US$45.8 billion means for a company.

   means that in terms of profit this year, Smith Capital may lead all companies in the world!

   "Did we hear correctly? Miss Bush, you just said 45.8 billion U.S. dollars?"

  Wendy Deng, who was at the farthest edge of the circle, raised her voice and asked.

   At this time when everyone was curious, Wendy Deng felt that she took the initiative to get some attention from these women.

  Several other female guests also joined in and asked:

   "Yeah, $45.8 billion! Lord God, this is unbelievable."

   "Sorry, I'm so shocked. But I really want to make sure."

  Little Laura didn't care about other people, and she didn't see too many superfluous expressions on Peggy's face.

   This made little Laura a little disappointed, but facing the questions from the women, she smiled and pointed to the male guest.

   "Look there. Gentlemen and gentlemen, their reaction is the most authentic."

  Little Laura's words drew everyone's sight and attention to the male guests at the reception.

  At this time, Soros, like many others, opened the invitation letter and looked at the numbers on it.

   George had already discovered this problem when he was in the elevator hall outside.

  At that time, he was a little skeptical, but he didn't expect that the number [$458] would be 45.8 billion U.S. dollars.

   is the profit of Smith Capital for this year.

  In other words, Smith Capital has actually plotted their profits this year in their invitation letter this year.

   It's just that no one knows that Smith Capital's profit this year will be so exaggerated.

   No one would have thought just now that this figure is actually a company's annual profit!

  Soros took a deep breath, and he looked at Tims who was also shocked beside him.

   "Tims, tell me." Soros said in a low voice, "Is the profit of Soros Fund Company and Quantum Fund combined this year so much?"

   Tims smiled wryly.

"BOSS. It's hard. I don't think there is any. As of October, Soros Fund's profit was 3.25 billion U.S. dollars. I don't know about Quantum Fund, but it should not exceed 5 billion U.S. dollars, because last year Quantum Fund The profit is five billion dollars."

   "Quantum Fund hasn't made any big moves this year, and I think it's probably just such a profit."

   It's not that the Quantum Fund didn't make any big moves this year, but in the biggest move this year, it not only didn't make much money.

   Instead, Soros wasted several months and even lost millions of dollars.

   Tims didn't dare to speak out about this matter, it was a relatively rare failure for the boss.

   Tims had no choice but to say it indirectly.

  Soros couldn't help but rubbed his eye sockets, wondering if the contact lenses were uncomfortable to wear, or he was in a bad mood.

  Compared to Timms, when he was in London, he saw Soros who Abel operated on London Gold.

   To be honest, he didn't have too much doubt about the profit figure of Smith Capital.

  Soros remembered that time, in just one afternoon, Abel raised nearly four billion dollars in the international financial capital market.

  Follow-up on the Norwegian krone, at least tens of billions of dollars were cut.

  Only these two profits that Soros knew about added up to more than 15 billion U.S. dollars.

  After the whole year, the total profit is more than 40 billion US dollars.

   Soros doesn't think it's a lie.

   Besides, this is just a simple total value report, and there will definitely be a complete financial report for investors and investors later.

   This number can be deceiving, but in the complete financial report, it is not so easy to deceive people.

   Someone will definitely contact companies like PricewaterhouseCoopers for an actuarial calculation.

   These most professional top people can easily figure out whether Smith Capital and Abel are lying!

  Thinking of this, Soros knows this number, and it is probably true.

  In Soros' view, being able to make money is especially good at making money, which can be many times more than most people make.

   This was originally Abel's greatest reliance.

  Abel could not have lied about this, because if Abel lied about this, he would be caught.

  The consequences will definitely be serious, and it will cause Abel's current golden body to be broken.

  As long as Abel knew this, Soros felt that he should not mess around.

  Soros thought of his time with Abel and his own observations when he was in London.

  One of the well-known representatives of the Oilers in the financial world thinks that Abe will not lie and deceive people in this regard.

  Soros also took a deep breath, and couldn't help showing a wry smile on his face.

He said to Tims: "This data is probably true. In other words, Abel Smith and his Smith Capital have earned five times the profits of my two companies within this year! Facker, Facker !"

   Speaking of the latter, Soros, the oily man who is forbidden to swear in the dogma, couldn't help but cursed in a low voice.

  Tims sympathizes with the boss very much.

   At this time, surrounded by the crowd, Abel, who was receiving the enthusiastic attention of everyone, was smiling all the time, with a calm expression on his face.

   At this moment, the big donkey and giant elephant not far away, the two giants on Capitol Hill came over.

  Among the slightly fanatical discussions on Wall Street and the rich, Richard Bruce Cheney, the deputy of the owner of the White House, the President of the Senate, and the Vice President of the United States.

  He smiled and reached out to Bloomberg, who was standing next to Abel, who was smiling all the time.

   "Congratulations, Michael." Richard reached out to him affectionately: "You have won."

  Bloomberg was startled, and subconsciously shook hands with Cheney.

  He is still thankful for his decision to invest in Smith Capital at the beginning of the year.

  Bloomberg, who holds a 4% stake in Smith Capital, is the happiest vested interest in the field, just like Buffett and Sullivanston.

   Suddenly seeing Deputy Commander Cheney say this to himself, Bloomberg was stunned.

   Then the minority leader of the House of Representatives, one of the donkeys, Richard Gephardt also smiled at him and stretched out his hand:

   "Congratulations, Michael. Mark has decided to admit defeat just now."

   and one of the donkey party representatives also shook hands.

   Bloomberg finally knows what happened.

  His face showed joy, and he said softly: "Mr. Gephardt, what you just said is true? Has Mr. Mark Green admitted it?"

  Richard Gephardt shrugged his shoulders. Although he was a little upset, he still said very gracefully:

   "Yeah. We lost in New York this time. But we're going to win it back in four years. I hope you understand that."

   "Ha!" Deputy Commander Cheney next to him immediately said, "That's impossible. Richard, if Michael can win you once, then he can win you again!"

   "Hehehe" Richard Gephardt smirked back.

  People around this circle.

  At this time, through the dialogue between the big donkey and the giant elephant, as well as Bloomberg, I understood one thing.

   That is this year's New York election, and it should be the victory of Michael Bloomberg in front of him.

   Listen to what Richard Gephardt and Cheney just said.

   It was the candidate of the Donkey Party who admitted defeat and announced his withdrawal.

   This was considered a tradition before the split between elephants and donkeys.

   That's when elections are held on both sides, when one side's victory is in sight.

  When the other party sees that their hard work is ineffective, they will congratulate the other party in the media and admit that they have lost the election. They look polite and gentlemanly.

   Now it should be Mark Green who sees that there is no hope of victory, and voluntarily quits.

  So after a day today, Bloomberg, who has already led Mark Green by 150,000 votes.

  He was naturally elected as the next mayor of New York City, and he can take office after January next year.

  Abel also realized this, and he looked at the surprised Bloomberg.

  Abel thought for a while, then suddenly grabbed Bloomberg's hand and raised Bloomberg's hand.

   Then the chairman of Smith Capital announced loudly to the guests present:

   "Guys! Guys, look over here, look this way. Look at this Mr. Michael Bloomberg next to me. Many of you should know him. He is the founder and chairman of Bloomberg."

   "But today, I'm announcing another identity for Mr. Bloomberg."

  "Mr. Bloomberg's new identity means that he has become our new mayor next year. Everyone, how about we applaud our new mayor together?"

  As soon as Abel finished speaking, the two Davids beside him and Smith Capital's own people immediately took the lead in applauding.

   Ted Lerner and Baron Hilton were a little slow to react, but they immediately applauded.

  The guests at the reception, seeing this, all put down their wine glasses and followed Abel's suggestion, and all applauded.

  Among the huge applause, Bloomberg, who was extremely surprised, turned around and gave Abel a hug—

"Thank you, thank you, dear Abel, my dearest friend! Thank you very much, and thank you all! As the new New York public servant, I will definitely serve all the citizens of New York in my tenure, and bring good and Bring light to everyone"

  Among the applause, many people looked at Bloomberg who was so excited that he embraced Abel.

  A thought flashed through their minds.

   That is, in the city of New York, no one may be able to compete with Abel Smith in the future.

  A huge group and consortium headed by Abel Smith with New York as the main base.

   is already taking shape at this moment today.

  Look at the people around Abe Smith.

  Buffett, Sullivanston, representatives of the two major powers in the American financial circles, the East Coast and the Central Region.

  Bloomberg, mayor of New York City, founder of Bloomberg, one of the top leaders of the Oilers, and one of the top leaders of the Oilers. Among the oilmen, he is similar to Soros.

   Cheney, President of the Senate, deputy to the owner of the White House. His presence is like Dang and George, a platform for Abe Smith in a way!

   Even Richard Gephardt, the donkey boss. His appearance can also be seen as a way for the Donkey Party to take the initiative to show favor to Abel Smith and not want Abel to completely fall to the Elephant Party.

  The simultaneous appearance of these two people can be considered to be that Abel has become a character worthy of the donkey and the elephant at the same time.

  In addition to these people, Paulson, David Komansky, Philip Purcell, Richard Fuld and so on surrounded Abel.

  These investment bank giants can also be regarded as the performance of Wall Street's initiative to show favor to Abel.

   Against the backdrop of these characters, the more than 300 guests attending the meeting tonight.

  Most of them had a strange feeling of witnessing the birth of history.

  They witnessed the emergence and birth of a new huge interest group with Abel Smith as the core.

  somebody is thinking.

  Perhaps a new member will be added to the DeepState of the federation.

   There is another chapter later, but it may be late, so don't wait until tomorrow to read it again.

  (end of this chapter)
