America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 133 Becoming the New Lamp Bead of the Lighthouse
Fortuitously, a unique American term such as "Smith Storm" was created.

Abel really didn't do it on purpose.

The source of the "Smith Storm" this time was deliberately ignited by himself.

Behind his team,

That is, the department formed by David Jones and Merio, it is true that there is guidance throughout the process.

But things can rise so quickly, the storm can come so fast and so violently.

It is not limited to the strength of Abel himself.

After a few days of the incident, Abel had already noticed it.

Relevant departments in the United States pushed him behind his back.

After discovering this, he broke out in a cold sweat.

Afterwards, the relationship was quickly launched, and Lapierre was found, and even Herbert was found, and many people were found.

He was at Herbert's at last, and got the general information.

In Herbert's own words:

"We are the lighthouse, and America is the lighthouse of the whole world. The lighthouse shines on the world, but it always needs to be replaced with new lamp beads, so that the people who are illuminated feel fresh, right?"

Through various channels and spending some money to find a professional lobbyist on K Street, he finally confirmed the matter.

That's the establishment faction in this country, and they think "he" this young self.

It is an excellent material for a new "American Dream", and it is a very suitable "new lamp bead" in Herbert's mouth.

The relevant departments of the United States are indeed pushing him intentionally or unintentionally.

After confirming this, he was slightly relieved.

Combining his memories and vision before his rebirth, he confirmed that he was safe.

Because of "new lamp beads" like him, in fact, the United States will produce a few every few years.

Americans have been doing this since the Cold War.

For example, in the 80s, Wall Street launched Peter Lynch, Hollywood produced Spielberg, and there were various similar figures in other walks of life.

In the financial field in the 90s, it became the twin heroes of Buffett and Soros.

There are also lamp beads in the field of entertainment such as Jordan and MJ.

After the 21st century, in terms of business, they replaced Wall Street people with Internet giants.

For example, Bill Gates, the two founders of Google, and later the founders of Twitter and Facebook.

After 2010, these people became Musk again.

Every period, the American establishment will launch their propaganda tools.

Help outstanding figures in some fields in the United States, increase their influence, and make them world idols as much as possible.

Then use the influence of these people to create a virtual image of the beacon of the free world.

These people are the so-called "lamp beads" in Herbert.

Since it is a lamp bead, it will be replaced frequently.

It maintains both brightness and freshness.

In recent years, in the capitalist and commercial fields.

Before the Internet bubble, the new light bulb was Microsoft's Bill Gates.

After the dot-com bubble happened, the Internet was devastated.

In a short period of time, these people are embarrassed to push Bill Gates again.

At this moment, Abel happened to fall into their field of vision.

Then these people discovered that this young man was "one of their own"!
At the same time, his conduct and conduct are many times better than other capitalists.

This is an excellent candidate for new lamp beads.

In addition, Abel himself happened to be setting up a character for himself at the time.

On the surface, they beat life and death every day, but in fact, the establishment factions of the two parties, which have always been their own people, slapped their thighs.

That's him.

Hence.
Originally, only entertainment news and financial news were concerned.

It has become the attention of the whole network and the whole country.

In October, when the election season is about to start, the news about the two candidates is almost covered.

Finally, under the silent push and acquiescence of these people, Smith Storm was created.

In twenty days, a new American Idol was forcibly created.

He was young, handsome, and of modest origin, the son of a rancher in rural Texas.

He has lofty aspirations and a strong talent in the financial field. He took dozens of people to New York alone to pursue his dream.

He brought his abilities to New York, developed his formidable financial talents, and waited for time to create a huge fortune.

He never forgets his heart, and when he has money, he also pays taxes in a law-abiding manner. At the same time, he is kind and generous.

Everything fits the American Dream standard.

In short, except for a little more girlfriends, he has almost no shortcomings.

This is the "new lamp bead" on the latest free lighthouse.

The first half of the month was bright in the US.

When you wait until later,
It is already the big media in the United States that can influence the world, at the request of some people.

He and his name were rendered to the whole world.

Therefore, other places outside the American world will find that there is another Abel Smith in the United States besides the names of Buffett, Soros, and Bill Gates.

A huge push in this regard, coupled with the guidance of Abel's team.

Only then did the "Smith Storm" take shape in the past twenty days.

It can only be said that time is fate, and pigs will take off when they encounter a tuyere.

What's more, what about the devil who cheated?
For all this, after Abel was worried at first.

The follow-up is basically enjoyment.

Because he discovered that after becoming a new lamp bead, unless it is really hopeless.

Otherwise, no one in the world can hack you.

Amei does not allow its lamp beads to be discredited, even if they are not so bright.

It can be said that in the second half of the month, Abel, who continued to stay in Los Angeles, really lived happily every day.

The time came to August 10.

It has been almost a month since he came to Los Angeles.

There is a feeling of reluctance to leave, mainly because the weather here is much better than that in New York.

At this time in New York, the average daily minimum temperature is only five degrees, and the average daily maximum temperature is only twelve degrees.

And it's starting to blow windy, and it's going to snow in a while.

But here in Los Angeles, the daily average minimum temperature is 22 degrees, and the daily average maximum temperature is [-] degrees.

The key is that the sun rises almost every day, and it is usually late at night when the average temperature is lowered.

It is the most suitable time of the year for its temperature.

It made him a little reluctant to leave.

Well, the point is actually that there is Hollywood on the Los Angeles side.

Here in Hollywood, there are those elite women who have gathered from all over the United States and even the world.
There is already a well-established Internet, coupled with a very useful means of communication.

In addition, his main business is also financial capital, and he can also direct Smith Capital from a distance in Los Angeles.

He has been in Los Angeles for so long, and it has not affected him to control the company and rampage in the capital market.

His contracted employees and ambiguous objects can also fly over here to meet him, and take a vacation in Los Angeles by the way.

The only one who suffered was coming to Los Angeles for almost a month.

Peggy Morgenthau, who had always been looking for a chance to meet him, and was passed on to him every day, but was always avoided by him intentionally or unintentionally.

That's right, it's been almost a month since Peggy Morgenthau came to Los Angeles.

She had come with a request from her grandfather, Robert Morgenthau, and hadn't seen Abel at all.

Naturally, there was no way to reconcile with Abel on behalf of grandfather.

On the way, she actually thought about going back to New York and let her grandfather think of a way.

But on the grandfather's side, after the general election in November, he will start his own election.

It was a critical moment, let her continue to stay in Los Angeles, try to find an opportunity to meet with Abel Smith, and ease the tension between the two parties.

Peggy Morgenthau had no choice but to choose to stay in Los Angeles and continue to look for opportunities to meet Abel.

Fortunately, on Abel's side,

And he really didn't want to break face with Robert Morgenthau just yet.

Mainly because of the current situation, Abel can't help but get Robert Morgenthau.

Those lawsuits, at best, just made Robert uncomfortable.

If it hadn't just happened to be an election, Robert would have felt uncomfortable at most, and he might not have paid attention to it in the future.

In addition, it is only now that Abel knows.

Robert, Morgenthau, is more than one Robert and one Peggy, who is a political powerhouse on the east coast.

When Kennedy came to power, he and Robert were brothers.

If you still don't understand, you can actually look at the surname Mo Genthau.

This surname is Mogen Suo, which means "MG son" in English.

There are rumors that Robert Morgenthau's father, the founder of the Morgenthau family, was the youngest illegitimate son of Big M.

The Morgenthau family, in fact, is an outside branch of the MG family with the same name as Rockefeller or even earlier.

That's why Robert Morgenthau was able to serve as a prosecutor in Manhattan for so long
"MG's son", just the meaning of this surname is enough to make Wall Street support.

It's just that in the past ten years, MG has continued to split like Mellon.

The influence is not as good as it was back then, and it has been surpassed by Rockefeller, who is not very divided.

If this was changed to 20 years ago, Robert Morgenthau probably wouldn't even look at the situation today.

Because as long as it's in Manhattan, no one can influence him.

Now forced by reality, Robert will send his granddaughter to find him.

Abel didn't understand this aspect at first.

It was after Robert's side that he found someone to talk to him.

The person who helped make peace was Herbert, and Herbert also informed Abel about the inside story of this inconspicuous family.

On the one hand, with my current means and resources, I can't defeat them all at once.

On the other hand, the purpose of revenge has been achieved, and the warning to the outside world has also been achieved.

On the 29th, when he planned to return to New York in the near future.

Abel finally meets Peggy Morgenthau, who has been waiting for nearly a month.

The meeting place is in Malibu, California.

Malibu is located in the northwest of Los Angeles, adjacent to Hollywood. The coastline stretches for 21 miles and has the most beautiful sea view in the world.

There are warm and pleasant sunshine, blue and full coasts, white and fine sandy beaches, seagulls and egrets spreading their wings in the wind.

All the beauty that can be found in the sea and the beach can be found here.

Abel and Peggy Morgenthau met at a table under a beach umbrella in Malibu.

There were clean and clear waves a few tens of feet away from the two of them, and the two of them stepped on sand, and the wind blowing over them was warm and not hot sea breeze.

In front of the two of them was a glass of ice water with ice and lemon.

"Mr. Smith, it is not easy to see you now."

Paige Morgenthau's opening remarks are clearly bitter, but not so obvious.

Abel, who was holding the lemonade, took a sip.

He didn't speak immediately, but first took a look at Peggy Morgenthau who surprised him.

Having said that, this is the first time Abel has seen Peggy Morgenthau in person.

Peggy Morgenthau had met Abe at a dinner hosted by the Hilton family two months earlier.

But there were many people at that time, and Abel was the focus. He didn't realize that Peggy was watching from a certain corner at that time.

After that, the closest encounter between the two.

It was Abel who deliberately pulled LaPierre and ran downstairs to the Manhattan District Attorney's office building for dinner.

Peggy was on the third floor with her grandpa at the time, and Abel saw her grandpa Robert, but not her.

Later, Abel knew Peggy Morgenthau and ran to Los Angeles to find himself.

A bodyguard showed him a photo of Peggy Morgenthau taken by Rock Security.

In the photo, he thought that the assistant prosecutor, Robert's granddaughter, was pretty.

Seeing himself for the first time now, he confirmed that Peggy Morgenthau was just beautiful.

Peggy has a petite face that doesn't match her tall figure, with delicate features on her face.

Delicate and fair skin, like goat's milk curd, in terms of looks alone, Abel thinks that Peggy is much better than Ikana who will come to Los Angeles to meet him tomorrow.

The key is that I don't know whether it is a professional factor or a personality problem.

Peggy Morgenthau, who is wearing a casual outfit suitable for appearing on the beach today, is obviously very casual, but she has a heroic feeling.

She looks so beautiful, and Abel has no good way to beat the Morgenthau family to death.

He also agreed to a settlement with Robert, on the assurances of Herbert, the intermediary.

"No way." Abel responded to Peggy with a smile, "I'm too busy this month. I have to be busy with MGM, I have to be busy with the acquisition of new companies, and I am also busy with other business matters. Until today I'm sorry to see Miss Morgenthau for nothing."

"Really"

Peggy Morgenthau said slightly bitterly:
"I saw it in newspapers and on the Internet, but you change your girlfriend every day and hang out with you everywhere."

She noticed that Abel raised his pretty eyebrows when he heard her say this.

Although her teeth were itching with anger, at least Peggy knew that she came here to admit defeat and reconcile.

It’s not about coming here to add fuel to the flames and continue to increase conflicts and contradictions.

She immediately changed the subject and said softly:

"Sorry, I said something wrong just now."

"Mr. Smith, let's discuss how we can make you stop."

She looks at Abel.

"What do you need Morgenthau to do for you to stop?"

Without waiting for Abel to answer, the girl with a clean and bright temperament said again:
"If you want to know, who told my grandfather to do this. I can tell you right now, it was MG and Rockefeller."

"Obviously, in Manhattan, my grandfather couldn't say no to them."

"But before Cyrus led people to act, my grandfather had already warned Cyrus that everything must be legal and compliant, otherwise he would be the first to spare Cyrus."

What Paige Morgenthau said, what she revealed.

Abel already knew on Herbert's side when Herbert came over to act as a middleman.

Herbert's family also had a close relationship with Rockefeller.

Herbert even revealed that after Abel returned to the east coast.

MG or Rockefeller may intentionally invite Abel for a meeting.

And there is a high probability that it will not be a bad thing, and it will also promote the progress of the relationship between Abel and the Texas consortium in the future.

Or the relationship with both parties.

That would obviously help Abel better establish himself on Wall Street, Herbert said.

On Abel's side, it was these two families who heard Robert do that.

In fact, he already understood that he could not do anything to the other party in a short time.

For these two surnames, unless they have absolute force, they can overthrow the entire US military.

Or grow internally to surpass them.

Otherwise, forget about revenge.

He is the player with the highest level within the rules of the United States.

This is also one of the reasons why he is willing to choose to reconcile with Morgenthau.

Facing Peggy Morgenthau, this kind of slightly straightforward, non-commercial negotiation.

To be honest, Abel is not used to it. He is more used to negotiations in finance and business.

After thinking about it, Abel spoke softly:
"Before asking what I need Morgenthau to do for me. I think we should be sure, what can Morgenthau do for me?"

"A lot." Peggy said quickly:

"For example, as long as my grandfather continues to be in Manhattan. Then Smith Capital will not be troubled by related aspects in the future."

"Even if there is something that the Manhattan District Attorney can't stop, then we will find a way to notify in advance."

This is considered to be a direct change from half an enemy to an ally in a certain sense.

Robert is also really a political figure, he was a little embarrassed by it, and he was willing to choose this way.

"I abide by the law, pay taxes according to the law, and do charity." Abel said with a smile:
"I've never violated one shred of the law, not one shred, when it comes to finance."

"Such a shelter is of no use to me. If I were not like this, I would be the one who was passive before."

His response also left Peggy wondering how to interface for a while.

Just like on Abel's side, he didn't know what he could get in the reconciliation with Morgenthau.

On Morgenthau's side, he didn't know what he could offer to reconcile Abel.

It cannot be money in the first place.

Abel is not short of money, and Mogenthau doesn't have enough money to make Abel's heart flutter.

Except for the main family, the most powerful thing about Morgenthau is their influence among the political giants on the east coast.

And two district attorneys, a senator from an East Coast state.

But these things don't seem to be very attractive to Abel.

Paige had a headache herself.

Her grandfather didn't teach her how to do it, so what she could do was the condition of the alliance between Morgenthau and Smith in Manhattan.

The two fell silent.

It is clear that both parties have a heart to reconcile.

I just don't know where to start, how to reconcile specifically, and what conditions to talk about.

For a while, the atmosphere of the two on the beach became a little awkward.

In desperation, Abel caught a glimpse not far away from the corner of his eye.

Outside the security cordon of Rock Security.

There are five or six sneaky guys, holding "long guns and short cannons" and shooting wildly here.

Abel has been used to this scene recently.

In the beginning, he even took the lead and asked someone to come over to shoot.

These people are actually professional elite paparazzi, who are best at following celebrity scandals and the like.

Abel was previously reported in the media, with photos and news of dating so many "girlfriends".

They were all concocted by these people.

Abel didn't give any special instructions today, and the rock security staff thought that these people were the same as before.

The bodyguards did not stop them, allowing them to film the scene where the boss and Peggy met on the beach.

These tall and burly bodyguards did not stop them.

They knew it was the super new rich and did not object.

These people were suddenly ecstatic, and the flashing lights of long guns and short cannons flashed a little arrogantly.

They don't even cover up.

This also made Peggy discover this.

She couldn't help but look in that direction, and found many reporters, holding video cameras to shoot wildly here.

She was frowning, turning her head to look back at Abel.

She saw Abel smiling to herself, looking very good on the beach.

"I have a proposal."

"Maybe it will be very useful for the reconciliation between us."

Paige nodded.

"You said."

　Although I don’t know if the recommendation ticket and the monthly ticket are useful, but I’m too embarrassed to ask for anything now, so I just ask for a vote~ I hope everyone will vote more, thank you, thank you, thank you!
