America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 343 The Birth of the Smith Consortium
Peggy Morgenthau tonight, obviously dressed up.

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

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

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

If she was not well dressed, Robert probably wouldn'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 hips perfectly showed her proud white and tender bust curves and ravines, which made people unable to look away if they were faintly visible.

On Peggy's slender pink neck, she wore a ribbon-shaped platinum diamond necklace, which was dazzling.

This dress perfectly embellished Peggy's graceful and delicate body. It was completely in the shape of a gourd, charming and dignified, contradictory and harmonious.

After looking carefully, 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-genius prodigy.

He received his Juris Doctor degree in his teens, and is well-known in political circles on the East Coast as a real "child of other people's family".

Even little Laura, back in Texas, had heard about it.

than family background.
In this regard, the current shrub family seems to win slightly.

Compared with the shrub family that has had two terms of leadership, Morgenthau is a family of prosecutors and a family of justice.

There was a big judge in Morgenthau's ancestors.

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

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

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

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

In terms of family background, Little Laura felt that she was better than her, but not much better.

Finally compare the ability.
Little Laura, whose talent is all about shrewdness and 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.

So why did Abel choose me?

Besides family background, little Laura thought of a big possibility.

Excellent as Peggy, traditional as stubborn as the Morgenthaus.

There is a high probability that she and them will not allow her husband, their son-in-law to be so bad in some way, right?
In this regard, the shrub family that climbed up completely by marriage in the early stage is more enlightened.

So Abel chose me because of this?

Thinking this way, little Laura felt that she was a bit of a failure.

But anyway, he chose me in the end!

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

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

But in fact, it was mainly little 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 Paige Morgenthau, little Laura felt like she was beating cotton and sucking air.

It was limp and weak, and there was 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 [-] ladies in the female guest area.

"what's going on?"

"Why does it look so lively?"

"Look over there!"

Some female guests pointed out that it was something that happened in the middle of the reception.

There are things that don't care about the lady.

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 the male guests 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 Paige Morgenthau, and said with a smile:
"It's nothing. It should be Mr. David Mellon who showed 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, just a few held invitation letters.

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

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

On the invitation letter, the lady only found a number [$458] at the end.

The other numbers are only the year, month, day, and time numbers.

That obviously won't be Smith Capital's earnings figure for the 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美元？或者458万美元？4580万美元？4.58亿美元？总不会是45.8亿美元，或者458亿美元吧？”

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 smiled at little Laura.

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

"That's right. Abel told me just now. The gross profit of Smith Capital this year is a total of 458 billion U.S. dollars!"

"Wow!"

Among the female guests, the same discussion as 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 he was born in a big family, a wealthy family. .

Either he is particularly capable, such as Deng Wendi 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.

Everyone, including Wendy Deng, knows what a gross profit of US$458 billion means for a company.

It 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 458 billion US dollars?"

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

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

Several other female guests also joined in and asked:

"Yeah, $458 billion! Lord God, that's 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 faced with the questions from the girls, she smiled and pointed to the male guests.

"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 figure of [$458] would actually be 450 billion US dollars.

is Smith Capital's profit for the 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 knew that Smith Capital's profit this year would 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 combined profit of Soros Fund and Quantum Fund this year worth that much?"

Timms smiled wryly.

"BOSS. It's hard. I don't think there is any. As of October, Soros Fund's profit was 32.5 billion U.S. dollars. I don't know about Quantum Fund, but it should not exceed 50 billion U.S. dollars, because last year Quantum Fund The profit is $50 billion."

"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 big moves this year, but that it didn’t make much money in the biggest move this year.

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, a bit euphemistically.

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 with Tims, 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 almost 40 billion US dollars in the international financial capital market.

In the follow-up, it was on the Norwegian krone, at least tens of billions of dollars were cut.

Just these two profits that Soros knew about added up to more than 150 billion US dollars.

For the whole year, the total profit was more than 400 billion US dollars.

Soros didn't think it would be a lie.

What's more, 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 deceive people, but in the complete financial report, it is not so easy to deceive people.

Someone will definitely contact companies such as PricewaterhouseCoopers, and the accountants will do actuarial calculations.

These most professional top people can easily figure out whether Smith Capital and Abel are lying!
Thinking of this, Soros knew this number, 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.

It is impossible for Abel to lie about this, because if Abel lied about this, he would be caught.

The consequences would be serious, and Abel's current golden body would 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.

The oilman, one of the well-known representatives of the financial world, thought that Abe would not lie and cheat on this matter.

Soros also took a deep breath because of this, 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 feels sympathy, and feels very much the same as the boss.

At this time, surrounded by the crowd, Abel, who was receiving the enthusiastic attention of everyone, kept smiling and looked calm.

At this moment, the big donkey and the giant elephant, the two giants on Capitol Hill, came over.

Amidst the somewhat frenzied 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 had been smiling the whole time.

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

Bloomberg was startled, and subconsciously shook hands with Cheney.

At the moment, 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 among the happiest vested interests present, 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 held out his hand:
"Congratulations, Michael. Mark has decided to admit defeat just now."

He also shook hands with one of the donkey party representatives.

Bloomberg finally knew what happened.

There was joy on his face, and he said softly: "Mr. Gephardt, what you just said is true? Has Mr. Mark Green admitted it?"

Richard Gephardt shrugged, although he was a little upset, he still said with grace:
"Yeah. We lost in New York this time. But we're going to win it back in four years, and 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, which should be the victory of Michael Bloomberg in front of us.

Listen to what Richard Gephardt and Cheney just said.

It was the donkey party candidate 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 victory for one side is in sight.

When the other side 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 seem to be polite and gentlemanly.

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

Then after a day today, Bloomberg, who has already led Mark Green by 15 votes.

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

Abel realized this too, 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 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.

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

Amidst 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 a new public servant of New York, I will definitely try to serve all citizens of New York in my tenure, and bring good and Bring light to everyone"

Amidst 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 can compete with Abel Smith in the future.

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

This moment has taken shape today.

Just look at the characters around Abe Smith.

Buffett and Sullivanston, representatives of the two major forces 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 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 banking 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 have 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.

Some people are thinking.

Perhaps a new member will be added to the Deep State of the Federation.
