America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 158 No One

The entire Smith Building cheered.

This is because afterward.

Their boss, with a smile, announced the bonus of each Smith Capital employee during this period.

Including the security staff who served in the Smith Building during this period, and even the cleaning staff.

All received corresponding red envelope bonuses ranging from one thousand to one hundred thousand dollars.

In this morning alone, Abel spent millions of dollars in red envelopes in Smith Capital.

This is very uncommon in Wall Street.

In Wall Street, those who have the strength to give bonuses like this are those giants.

The giants are all listed companies, and the shareholder relationship behind them is extremely complicated.

It is impossible for them, and they will not spend a lot of money, for such rewards as daily red envelopes.

In those small and medium-sized companies, the bosses are all cheapskates.

The bonus they can get at the end of the year is already their greatest generosity.

To sum up, it can basically be said that like Abel, an extra bonus will be issued once or twice a month.

And the boss with a high amount is definitely one of the rare ones.

The reason for this is mainly two reasons.

One is Abel's soul, half of which is a celestial being.

People from the Celestial Dynasty feel good after making money, and those who are more generous will be happy.

Another reason is that for Abel, money is sometimes easier than the wind.

Money comes easily and is spent generously.

Besides, Abel felt that he didn't have much charisma as a leader.

Business management capabilities are even more of a mess.

That being the case, I want the loyalty and effectiveness of my subordinates.

What's the best way?
chicken soup?Painting cake?
Sorry, he won't.

He can only use checks that smell like ink and are stamped with the signatures of those big banks to win people's hearts.

I give money, you do things for me.

It's that simple.

This is the practice of a simple, nascent, not so mature and stable capitalist.

He doesn't want to talk about feelings, feelings are the most expensive.

"Whoo~"

In Abel's office, he didn't leave for nearly a week.

David Mellon, who looked a little sloppy, couldn't help but let out a long breath.

This long, tense, exciting, and extremely exciting battle for capital.

it is finally over.

And it ended with a big victory, which made David Mellon extremely happy at the moment.

But the most important thing is actually this profit, which will increase David's personal income by tens of millions of dollars.

The dividends of tens of millions of dollars are the most important reason why he can be so excited and work so hard for so long.

Money is the best stimulant.

It doesn't matter where you put it.

"Take a good rest. It's your turn to be busy tomorrow." Abel looked at his most capable subordinate on Wall Street, and he said with a smile.

He still values ​​David Mellon very much.

Not to mention other things, these seven days have been staring at the trading floor all the time.

And when buying, selling and closing positions, make zero mistakes.

Abel couldn't do it himself.

On Wall Street, there are not many who can do it, and they are all high-level executives of those giants.

What's more, in terms of contacts on the east coast, David Mellon also brought him a lot of help.

"I understand. How is Merio preparing?" David also smiled.

"There is no need to worry about Merio's ability to work in this area." Abel said with a smile.

What the two of them were talking about was about Smith Capital's end-of-year reception.

When David entered the safe house state and no longer communicated with the outside world.

The preparations for Smith Capital's meeting at the end of the year were handed over to the deputy general manager Merio.

Merio, the deputy general manager of Smith Capital, is often not in the company.

The old fat man was busy with some logistical work assigned to him by Abel all day, mainly in New York.

For example, the preparations for this year-end reception.

And preparations for the Issa Show in Times Square, Issa's company.

At the same time, we must do a good job in the logistics of Smith Capital.

These tasks may seem unimportant, but in fact, pick one out at random.

Ordinary people can hardly do it.

Merio can do it all, and do it very quickly.

This is his personal ability.

"Then I'll go back first?" David Mellon said to Abel after confirming the problem of the reception tomorrow night.

Abel nodded: "Except for those who can't stay on duty, other employees, let's take a day off today."

David nodded, he was really tired too.

For a week, sleep only three to four hours a day.

Tired and sleepy, drink a lot of coffee to refresh yourself.

This kind of life is stimulated by money as a stimulant.

But afterwards, it was also really tiring.

No wonder some Wall Street workers sometimes choose to eat flour.

Sometimes coffee doesn't even lift your spirits.

And we can't slack off.

Isn't that just a big deal?

Wall Street is like that.

David leaves.

Abel also stood up and left the Smith Building after a while.

Get out of the warm interior, before getting into the car.

Although it is warm, it does not look bulky.

But being blown by the cold wind outside, Abel missed the neither hot nor cold climate in Los Angeles.

He is ready.

After the reception tomorrow night is over, go to Los Angeles to avoid the cold!
Come back when the Issa show is at the end of December, and then go to LA after Christmas.

In the winter here in New York, as long as nothing happens, Abel feels that he will never stay here again!
Thinking of this, he got into Lincoln City in the middle of the convoy and left Smith Building.

It was still around eleven o'clock in the morning, and the rush hour of traffic jams in New York had not yet arrived.

Before the rush hour, Abel's motorcade arrived at the Ted Lener Building at 40 Wall Street.

In the lobby of the Ted Lener Building, he saw a smiling father and daughter standing together with D. Ted Lerner to greet him.

"Hi~Mr. Smith, good afternoon! Welcome to Ted Lena Mansion, to my kingdom~"

Ikana's father walked in as soon as he saw Abel and his party.

So he walked towards them enthusiastically, and shouted loudly from a long distance away.

This immediately attracted other people in the hall who came and went to and from the Ted Lena Building.

Ikana could only smile wryly behind her father.

Dad is such a character, he is afraid that others will not know that Abel Smith is coming to Ted Lena today.

But after thinking about it, Ikana also knew the reason why her father would do this.

In recent months, because of the bank loans over the past few years, one after another has expired.

D. Ted Lerner's cash flow capital chain suddenly became tense.

A sudden rupture is unlikely, but life is not as comfortable as before.

This is why D. Ted Lerner can no longer support his daughter's YKM.

Thanks to those "excellent" performances from D. Ted Lerner earlier.

Banks are willing to lend him money.

But D. Ted Lerner has always been ruthless in repaying the loan.

Several recent repayments have forced D. Ted Lerner to sell some properties.

Fortunately, they are all small problems, that is, cash flow will become very tight.

under these circumstances.

People all over the country like Abel know that he is rich, and a tycoon with a lot of cash comes to his door.

No matter which angle you stand on, D. Ted Lerner will certainly be very welcome.

What's more, D. Ted Lerner was probably thinking about it too, when Abel came to the door.

Create a good relationship between himself and Abel, and then use this relationship.

Let those guys on Wall Street not be so ruthless in chasing debts.

Who is Abel now? He is a big treasure in the eyes of many people on Wall Street.

"Hi, Mr. Lerner." Abel smiled and shook hands with the tall blond old white man.

After the handshake, it was the turn of Ikana who came from behind.

When it was Ikana's turn, Abel was more than just shaking hands.

He hugged him directly, and with Ikana's shy expression, gave him a kiss on the face.

D. Ted Lerner saw it from the side, and suddenly this thought came to his mind——

[This is obviously a problem.Ikana still told me that what was reported in the media was just gossip, and it was fake!Hehe. Let me just say, no man can refuse my daughter's charm. 】

After the kissing ceremony.

The three of them, their assistants and entourages, quickly left the crowded lobby of the Ted Lena Building.

Stay longer, New York paparazzi with a good nose.

It is estimated that it will be on the doorstep.

".Oh~ You have found the right person for this matter."

"Mr. Smith! I bet no one knows New York real estate better than I do!"

"."

Ted Lena Building,

A spacious conference hall.

Round conference table.

D. Ted Lerner made his favorite gesture with one hand, and said something, but his eyes were on his daughter and Abel, who were sitting very close together.

D. Ted Lerner once again confirmed that these two people must have an affair!

"Then tell me, Mr. Smith, what piece of New York real estate would you like to know about?"

"Or do you want to buy some luxury houses or something? My company also has intermediary business."

"Last time the newspaper said you bought that $6500 million house, you definitely paid too much!"

"If you came to me at that time, I only need 5000 million US dollars, and I can help you get it!"

"I have to stress this one more time! No one understands the real estate industry in New York better than me!"

Watch as Ted Lener is ebullient, vocal, and full of energy.

Abel smiled slightly.

This time he came to the Ted Lena Building, looking for Ikana by the way.

The main purpose is really to find Ted Lener.

Of course it wasn't for hugging thighs, Ted Lener had a fart thigh to hug at this time.

At this time, Ted Lener was just one of the many rich men in New York.

It is also because of his many bankruptcies, as well as his performance on TV as an upstart and nouveau riche.

Let many old New York money regard him as a shame for the rich in New York.

To be honest, based on the situation of Ted Lener's family, if Ted Lener's performance is a little better.

To his life, to Ikana's life.

They can be considered one of the old money in New York.

But Ted Lener's performance over the years still makes them look like nouveau riche.

Not accepted by the old money in New York, and outside the circle of rich people in New York.

Abel came to Ted Lener, just like Ted Lener said.

He wanted to know about the state of New York's real estate industry.

Next, come over to see Ikana by the way.

He wants to eat a large pear.

"All right, Mr. Lerner."

Abel smiled and said:
"What I mainly want to know is actually only Manhattan, especially the situation of the land near Central Park."

If you want to buy a house or luxury house, of course you can also find Ted Lena Group.

In terms of price and agency fees, it may be cheaper, not necessarily.

But
With the house purchased by the Ted Lena Group, Ikana must know the situation.

Ikana is also helping her father now, dealing with some matters of the Ted Lena Group.

Abel was unwilling to do this.

He really wants to buy a house, and most of it is also used to hide the beauty in the golden house.

How can Ikana know about this kind of place?

Because of what Ikana did in the parallel time and space.

To be honest, Abel is somewhat defensive towards Ikana.

This girl has too much ambition, too much action, and too much self-control.

But it doesn't seem very smart.

"The land in Manhattan. It's also near Central Park."

Ted Lener pondered for a moment, and the tall old man said:

"I don't know Mr. Smith, what are you going to use the land for?"

Abel spoke frankly:
"Two purposes. One is to build a building that belongs to me. My company has more and more companies, and it will be more convenient to use one building to work together. Here, it is like Mr. Lerner's Ted Lener Building Same."

"The other is to develop housing. I think some housing in Manhattan make me very dissatisfied. I want to buy my own land and develop my own housing."

His purpose ahead is fine.

Building a corporate headquarters building in Manhattan is something that any powerful company or rich man dreams of.

In Manhattan, there is a skyscraper of its own.

This is a symbol of strength in the United States.

Ted Lener knew that Abel was very rich.

It was not surprising that he would have such thoughts about Abel.

His own Ted Lena Building is the best expression of this approach.

But Ted Lena couldn't understand Abel's latter purpose.

"Develop the house yourself?" Ted Lener was curious: "Do you build it to live in?"

"I will live by myself. But I will also take it for example." Abel smiled: "Mr. Lerner, next to Central Park, build the world's tallest residential building with a height of 1776 feet kind of. What do you think?"

"1776 feet?" Ted Lener frowned. "I don't think so."

"That's too high. The technical difficulty will be very high, and the amount of capital will be too large."

"In addition, in New York, the highest in the United States is Gemini 1725. It is only 1776 feet including the antenna. [-] is even higher than Gemini [-]."

After Ted Lener finished speaking, he asked Abel curiously.

"Why is it exactly 1776 feet? Since it's going to be that high, wouldn't it be better than 1800 feet, or 1900 feet?"

"Why is it 1776 feet." Abel said with a smile:
"Because our country was established in 1776."

"Wow, yes. You're right." Ted Lena was startled when he heard that, and then his thick eyebrows felt like they were going to fly.

"It's cool, it's very, very cool. If it could be built, I guarantee it would be the coolest building in America! 1776 feet, just a really cool number!"

"Mr. Smith, I have to admit that you are a genius. I think if you develop in the real estate industry, you can also do well!"

Abel smiled.

But I said in my heart: Nonsense, the tallest building in the United States in the future in parallel time and space is this number
If he didn't remember this, he really wouldn't know how to use the number 1776.

In the United States, this number still has a certain special significance.

Same as 1949.

"To build such a tall building, the land area required is not small."

Ted Lener mused, "It's not easy to find such a large open space in Manhattan."

It's 2000, not 1900.

At this time, Manhattan was already very expensive, and the core area was filled with high-rise buildings.

Among them, the land surrounding Central Park is even more scarce.

It is no longer rich enough to be able to get a large area of ​​land.

Abel smiled and said:
"That's why I came to you, Mr. Tedler."

"As you said, I also feel like no one in New York understands the real estate industry better than you."

"Aha~"

Ted Lener laughed.

"You're right, Mr. Smith. No one knows New York real estate better than I do."

"Okay. I'll keep an eye out for you. Later, I'll ask someone to make a list of the land that can be built in Manhattan at present, and then send it to your company."

"No problem." Abel also reciprocated, he said:
"As long as I can get the land, then the construction of the building and the residence must also involve the Ted Lena Group."

"I remember Ikana said that the construction company of Ted Lena Group is very good."

Ted Lener immediately said:
"You are right. No other construction company can be better than mine!"

While speaking, Ted Lena looked at his daughter with slight appreciation.

It's not like pulling your arms out completely.

After business talk.

The atmosphere that followed was even more relaxed.

Ted Lener is a very talkative guy.

When chatting in private, he doesn't look like the nouveau riche on TV at all.

Although his words are a little "dry", they are also well-founded, which is in line with the impression of a normal person on a New York billionaire.

Except for the occasional "no one is better than me xx" that pops up occasionally.

Abel doesn't think that Ted Lener is much worse than Bloomberg and the like.

Ted Lener is clearly a smart guy.

After chatting for a while.

The rich man, who was about the same age as Abel's father Alexander Smith, got up and left with a smile, saying that he still had a meeting at noon.

He left enough private space for his daughter and Abel.

After he left.

Abel wasn't worried about the cameras in the conference room either.

He walked directly to Ikana, pulled a chair over, sat beside her and hugged her.

"There is surveillance," Ikana said softly.

"It's your family's surveillance. Your father won't secretly spy on us, will he?"

That's hard to say. Ikana thought to herself.

Then she heard Abel smile and say:
"By the way. Look at Mr. Lerner's appearance. You don't seem to have told him about our relationship?"

Ikana squinted at him, "The relationship between the two of us? What kind of relationship is it?"

Abel was confident: "Of course it's a couple's relationship!"

Ikana was a little surprised.

This bastard, trying to find a way to pua himself.

Get yourself hooked.

As a result, afterward, he was not what Ikana imagined at all.

Like a boyfriend in a normal boyfriend and girlfriend, cling to her as a girlfriend.

Although it's not enough to pull X away, it doesn't mean to go whoring for nothing.

But she just doesn't take the initiative, she insists on taking the initiative.

Only when she is greedy for her body, will she take the initiative to come over
Facing such Abel, Ikana had a headache.

Let's break up, I don't want to.

The body is given away.

What's more, no matter how you look at it, Abel's quality is a bit too much.

The kind that is even more perfect than the Ruyi Langjun she had imagined before.

Find a way to tease him pua, this guy eats sugar-coated spit cannonballs.

Every time it was herself, who couldn't get down.

Dare to say anything in a daze.

Papa called me many times
It can't be hard, nor can it be soft, which makes Ikana helpless.

For half a month, she has doubted whether she can really achieve her wish.

She wondered if it was wrong for her to do so.

Unless the sunk costs are too high.

And he was reluctant to bear the words of various resources brought by Abel.

And the extravagant hope that if it succeeds.

Ikana, who has strong self-control, wants to retreat.

But now in his mouth, he heard his unmistakable acknowledgment of the relationship between the two parties.

Ikana was naturally surprised.

"Do you dare to say these words in front of my father?" Ikana wanted to provoke him, "Do you dare to announce them in front of the public?"

Ikana wanted to prod him a bit.

Use a little aggressive method.

But it made her see Abel's shameless side again.

I saw Abel said confidently:

"Why don't you dare? I have always said in the media that I have hundreds of girlfriends, and that every American girl can be my girlfriend!"

"Ikana, my dear. Go find the media for me right away! I will definitely tell them that you are my girlfriend in front of them!"

Ikana was speechless.

Yes, she believed Abel would do it.

But if there are other shameless women who also find the media.

Ikana thought.

There is a high probability that Abel will tell the media that Bichi is also his girlfriend in front of other media!
Ikana had no doubts about that.

He will definitely do it! !
