America's Road To Wealth Chapter 428

  Chapter 428 Benefit exchange and shamelessness

  In the office, looking at Bloomberg's sincere and serious expression.

   After calming down, Abel finally smiled.

  Bloomberg is a smart guy, a very smart smart guy.

  This is Abel's evaluation of Bloomberg in his heart at this time.

   Just as Bloomberg thought.

   Abel spent so much effort to push this oily man to the top.

  Is there nothing Abel wants other than Hudson's Bay City Bay Plaza connections?

How can this be!

  If it's just Hudson's Bay City Square, even if there is no Bloomberg, and other people become mayors, Abel can also find a way to promote it.

   At most, it is slower, and the effort and money that can be spent will save a lot.

  Support Bloomberg's leadership, except for the reasons of the city square.

   It was also because Abel knew that apart from being a smart guy, the old guy in front of him was also a guy who had no position.

  Before becoming the candidate of the Elephant Party this year, Bloomberg was the big donor of the Donkey Party.

  The donors of the Donkey Party, or the interest organizations behind it, have always been media, finance, and the newly born Internet.

  Like the traditional forces of the party, they are generally energy, industry, and agriculture.

  Most of the media and financial giants naturally like to stand on the side of the donkey party.

   Like Abel, he is also a financial tycoon and a media oligarch, but there are very few people who stand like the party.

   This is also the reason why the Donkey Party has never been hostile to him.

  Because of his two identities, the donkey party has never given up trying to pull him over.

  As a media tycoon, Bloomberg has always been a donkey party in the past.

  As early as many years ago, this guy was seeking the position of the mayor of New York City on the side of the Donkey Party, but he has never been successful.

  Failed to pass several internal elections.

   Until the year before last, this guy noticed that the Elephant Party had no successors in New York.

  He started to contact Xiangdang, and the two hit it off.

   This guy threw the donkey into the elephant without hesitation, and jumped from the donkey party to the elephant party.

   With the support of the Xiang Party, he became the current mayor.

  In the parallel time and space, this guy, with the support of the Elephant Party, was re-elected as mayor of New York City for two consecutive terms.

  Before the third New York general election, he found that the elephant party was gone in New York.

  The "Pandora's Box" released by the Donkey Party changed the entire United States in just a few years.

  New York is changing too.

   At that time, this guy decisively jumped from the Elephant Party to the Donkey Party, and was successfully re-elected as the Mayor of New York City.

  This allowed him to serve as the mayor of New York City for three terms.

  The latter is that he really can't choose the big boss inside the donkey party, so he has to give up.

   Otherwise, it is estimated that he can continue to be re-elected for another term.

  Maybe I felt targeted by the Donkey Party.

  After that, this guy jumped back to the Elephant Party and announced that he would participate in the 2016 General Election.

  But at that time, the United States was already in the age of identity rule under the mess of Lao Ao.

  Bloomberg's left and right jumps made both parties unhappy, and they lost directly when they were inside.

   This made Bloomberg jump back to the donkey party again. The result was that the elite sent Bloomberg, who was not favored by voters at all.

   Bloomberg failed again.

  Bloomberg like this makes many people feel ashamed of him.

   Inside the Xiang Party and the Donkey Party, there are also many people who don't like his approach.

  Even in the era when donkeys and elephants were like a family, there was no such addiction as him.

   Not to mention the era of hostile confrontation between donkeys and elephants.

  But Bloomberg's approach made Abel understand one thing.

   That is, this is a purely interest animal, a real scumbag.

   Who can make him benefit, who can let him get what he wants.

   Then Bloomberg is who.

  Bloomberg's political position is “none”.

  He has no such thing at all, what he has is his own, Bloomberg's position.

  Simply put, if you have a daughter, you are a mother.

  Whoever gives him a baby drink is his real mother.

  What kind of oil man, what kind of donkey and elephant, those are all things that don't exist.

  People with this personality are hated by many people, including Abel.

   But Abel knew that his personality was the most useful to him.

  If Bloomberg really has his own political stance, then Abel will have to consider whether to use this person instead.

  Unlike now, as long as you guarantee to be the mother with a "naughty girl", you don't have to worry about Bloomberg's betrayal.

   These words are rough, but the reasoning is not rough at all.

   As for Bloomberg's question at this time, the Smith Intelligence Group has already provided Abel with multiple plans.

  At this time, Abel smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll just say a few words."

  Bloomberg laughed, "Would love to listen!"

   "I think..." Abel said:

   "I want to be in this position, and I want to be here in 4 years. First of all, dear Michael, you can't look the same as those previous mayors."

"uh-huh."

   "The previous mayors, they were almost carved out of the same mold. Michael, you can't do this."

   "What do you think I should do?"

  Bloomberg stared at Abel seriously, looking at himself, the big benefactor, the core figure of a powerful consortium.

   "For example, first reduce government expenditures. This will allow you to gain a good reputation among ordinary people."

  Bloomberg nodded. Abel said that his own think tank had also provided similar advice.

  As the largest city in the United States, New York has a developed economy and a large population, and most importantly, it is very rich.

  The various municipal expenditures in New York City are a super amazing amount.

  Just a city, New York spends more on the city every year than many small states in the United States.

   States like North Carolina, Kentucky, and Alabama, many times, in many places, as a state, they are no match for a city like New York.

   "It's going to be very difficult, and there will be a lot of opposition," Bloomberg said.

  New York City is spending a lot. It's not that the former mayor didn't know about this problem, and it's not that no one wants to change it.

   But this kind of thing is like the redundant officials and soldiers in the last years of the ancient Chinese dynasty.

   It has formed an interest group within it, and it is a place where many people **** blood.

  If you want to reform, you need to deal with these people first.

   "It's not all cuts, you can target a certain aspect. For example... you can first order to cancel most of New York's official vehicles and reduce expenditures in this area."

   Abel said softly.

  Bloomberg was stunned, then smiled and said: "A very good idea!"

   "Also, it is not for you to really cut spending and offend people. What you have to do is to let the people or voters know that you are doing this."

  Abel said softly:

   "For example, as the mayor of the largest city in the United States, you have countless luxury cars and sports cars. But you yourself take the subway to and from get off work every day. I believe that after knowing this, everyone will like you."

   Bloomberg frowned.

  Take the subway to and from get off work every day?

  The bird in the New York subway is famous all over the world.

  More than 30% of the crimes in New York occurred in this subway system, which is about to turn 100 years old.

   Let him, a billionaire, commute to get off work in this super dangerous thing?

   Do you want to bring dozens or hundreds of bodyguards with you every day?

   Seeing Bloomberg's hesitation, Abel laughed.

   "As far as I know, there is a kind of shuttle bus called security train in the New York subway. There will be no passengers on it. It patrols underground in New York every day to check the safety of the subway system."

   "As the mayor, sit on the security train, check the subway safety of the day for every New Yorker at the first time of every day, and pass by to go to work."

   "If I were a citizen of New York, I would be very moved when I knew about it."

  Bloomberg suddenly became enlightened and laughed:

   "Oh, indeed. This is my duty as mayor, and I will ensure the safety of every New Yorker."

  Bloomberg has heard it.

  He understood that Abel didn't let himself really do something that benefited New York and the people.

  What I have to do is to make New Yorkers think that I am doing this in New York City.

   Just do it.

   "It's roughly like this. Other aspects, such as environmental governance, promoting healthy eating for citizens, conducting charity and donation activities, etc., let alone these routine things."

  Blomberg nodded, but after listening for so long, he never heard what he really wanted to hear.

  He came to ask Abel this question, did he really want Abel to give him advice on how to manage the city?

   Not really.

  What he really wants to know is what kind of benefit exchange Abel needs.

  Let's put it this way, asking this question, Bloomberg actually wants to know what Abel wants to get.

  This is Bloomberg's feedback on Abel's efforts in promoting himself to the position of mayor of New York City.

   It's like after George moved into the white house, it only took two months.

   It is the same as appointing 38 powerful people who helped him during the election as American ambassadors to 38 countries.

  Price clearly marked, exchange of interests, this is one of the basic principles of the American official forum.

   If you can't do it, then you are a bad businessman and will keep everyone away from you.

   "Besides these. My friend, do you have any other ideas, or..."

  Bloomberg's voice lowered: "Request."

   This is to stop talking about other things, stop being euphemistic and hypocritical, and just ask Abel what he wants.

  Abel was silent.

  In the entire office, only the sound of two people breathing remained for a while.

   For tens of seconds, neither of them spoke, they just looked at each other.

  Until Bloomberg, it was almost a little uncomfortable.

   "I don't like Roland of the Transportation Administration. Their family has been sitting here for decades."

   "I have a new energy company in California, and next year at the earliest will launch a new energy environment-friendly vehicle with zero pollution. It is a unique product in the world."

   "Miss Laura Bush will become the CEO of a healthy eating company at the end of this year, which is a new company."

   "Also, let me tell you a good thing. I plan to set up the Smith Charitable Foundation next month."

   "I say this, do you understand? Dear Michael."

Snapped-

  Bloomberg patted his thigh, finally showing a relaxed expression on his face.

   "My man, you should have said that!"

"h"

  Abel shook his head helplessly, "Then you should ask me what I want as soon as you come up. Instead of asking how I should govern New York."

   "Well, my fault. I was not honest enough. I admit it." Bloomberg laughed.

  The originally sluggish atmosphere became more relaxed under the smiles of the two.

  Bloomberg didn't stay long at the Smith Tower.

   After determining the requirements of the partner.

  The Mayor of New York City left soon.

  Send him out of his office door, return to his boss chair, sit down, and continue working.

   until noon.

  In Abel's office, the court-style arched curtains hang down on both sides, and the special bulletproof floor-to-ceiling windows inside the house cannot be seen from the outside.

   Abel, who had lunch, admired the bustling streets of Manhattan in spring.

  In the bathroom behind him, there were violent coughing and retching sounds, followed by the sound of running water.

   "Ahem...you're such an asshole!"

  Walking out of the bathroom, Amanda was wearing a light blue Chanel and Hermès mixed-and-match OL suit. Her pretty fair face was still flushed red.

  After she washed, her pretty face was dripping with water.

  In the bathroom just now, she not only washed off the makeup on her face, but also the tears in the corners of her eyes and the things Abel gave her were gone.

"h"

  Abel glanced back at Amanda with charming eyes, laughed and said:

   "You asked for it yourself. "Would you like to try Office XX?" This is not what an intern in the content department of one of your subsidiaries should say to the chairman of the headquarters!"

   Just now, Amanda, as an intern in the content department of Smith Media, was ordered by the president of the media group, Michael Levine, to bring some materials to the chairman of the headquarters for review.

  Abel was a little surprised by her arrival, but he could accept it.

  He knows Michael Levine, so he should know Amanda's identity.

  Abel didn't say much, and asked Amanda to bring the information, and opened it to read.

   Before reading two pages, I heard Amanda in a beautiful OL suit say that sentence.

  Abel naturally started without hesitation.

   "Humph—I said that, you can't do that."

  Amanda whispered "angry":

   "You are immoral workplace unspoken rules, X harassment!"

   Seeing her pretending to be angry, Abel found it interesting.

  This chick, like Liv, is also a trickster.

  Abel was "vicious", reached out and pinched Amanda's chin, lifted her up, looked at each other, and said:

"Then let me tell you as the chairman of the group company, this is the unspoken rule of the Smith Group. Also, your chairman will tell you that starting today, one of your tasks is to come up to it at noon every day Take a shower, remember to practice well. Just now, just like when I was at home, your teeth made me a little hurt."

   Amanda pouted.

   "You guy, you really have a conquest yu of change! Are you particularly excited when you see me make a fool of yourself? Don't lie to me, I saw your eyes and expression."

  Her beautiful blue eyes slanted: "Come to think of it, Laura Bush often kneels in front of you and does it like this, right? Oh, and there are those Ikana, Paris and the like."

  Abel: ()

   It was said that the central matter.

   May I ask which man doesn't want to see a noble girl from the upper class, with a noble status, kneeling in front of him, doing that kind of thing with an attitude of extreme submission?

  Seeing him like this, Amanda pouted again, "Lydia is indeed right. Looking at your expression, I really hit the spot just now."

  Hearing what Amanda said, Abel showed surprise in his eyes, and asked curiously:

   "Lydia is right, you told her this kind of thing? What else did she say?"

   "Hehe... Yes, I have told her a lot about our affairs. Lydia is now my staff in this regard!"

  Abel was silent for a while, if Amanda hadn't said it herself.

  He didn't even know that Lydia, who seemed introverted and easily shy, could be an advisor to Amanda on such matters...

   Also, can I tell my sisters about this kind of thing?

   Well, Abel suddenly discovered that this kind of thing is normal among American women.

  Amanda's self-exposure continues.

   "Lydia also told me that the way you look at her is like the way a woman sees jewelry."

  Abel was surprised: "What kind of eyes?"

   "Blinking, greedy and full of possession."

  Amanda hugged Abel's waist, walked around in front of Abel, with a playful smile on her face, and reached out to stroke Abel's handsome face.

  "Lydia is very smart, but I'm just a man. It's very normal to appreciate a woman's gaze."

   "And..." After finishing speaking, Abbott paused before saying again:

   "A lot of times I think two is better than one, what do you think?"

  Amanda was startled, but hadn't responded yet.

I heard him say insatiably: "Beside Ikana, there is a Paris. Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba are getting better and better. Not to mention those Hollywood girls, and Isa Company Angel babies. Do you know what I mean, my dear Amanda."

  Of course Amanda understood, and she was furious, seeing him take it for granted.

   Gritting her teeth, Miss Hurst: "You are shameless!"

   "Sometimes, being shameless can be regarded as one of my mottos. I think Mr. William Randolph Hearst must have agreed with my words."

   Amanda was speechless.

  Because Abel's last sentence is actually her great-grandfather, to be exact, the great-grandfather, the founder of the Hearst family, William Randolph Hearst's motto and code of conduct.

  Don't worry about how tall and traditional the current Hearst family has packaged itself.

   But in that Gilded Age, William Randolph Hearst, who was a reporter, was known as the golden writer, and he was known throughout the United States for his shamelessness.

  The shocking title party of Huaxia UC in later generations was used by William Randolph Hearst as early as more than 100 years ago.

  Amanda's great-grandfather is the founder of the headline party and X news that shocked the world's press...

  Modern newspaper industry has a term "Yellow pornographic news", which specifically refers to the sensational reporting of news. The content of these reports is mostly sensational, focusing on crime news and social scandals.

   Sex, violence, conflict, etc. are common topics.

  The newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst in the early 20th century is regarded as one of the founders and master of "Yellow Journalism".

  In the beginning, the Hearst family relied on the shamelessness of William Randolph Hearst to start their business in the tabloid world.

   Facing the attack of William Randolph Hearst, even Joseph Pulitzer, founder of the highest award in journalism, was helpless.

  Amanda, the ancestor, also served as a member of the United States Congress, and even affected the course of world history.

  At the end of the 19th century, Hearst used his own newspapers to vigorously encourage the United States to go to war against Spain.

  During the Spanish-American War, he personally led a team to the battlefield for interviews, showing great enthusiasm.

  Historians believe that Hearst "indispensably contributed" to the outbreak of the Spanish-American War.

  The crazy factor in the Hearst family genes originated from this.

  Abel took out William Randolph Hearst's motto at this time to block Amanda's mouth.

  Even if the two talk about the shamelessness of men and women, the other talks about the shamelessness of behavior.

   Amanda was still speechless.

   "Go to work, Miss Hurst. Don't forget who you are now."

  Seeing her like this, Abel asked her to calm down by herself, he would not spoil her, "You are an intern now. Miss intern, please don't forget your job."

   Yes, he ate her.

   But Abel will not let Amanda indulge freely.

   On the contrary, because of its personality and family genes.

  He will only keep her under strict supervision.

   is a bundle, not a typo, a bundle of bundles.

   Amanda would be wrong if she thought she could do that with that kind of relationship.
