America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 36
Manhattan, Midtown Hilton Hotel, Golden Ballroom.

somewhere in the banquet hall,
A white man in his forties, holding a wine glass, pointed his lips towards D. Ted Lerner's position in the corner.

"Look, look over there. The Wolf of Wall Street is coming."

The speaker is surrounded by four people, all of whom are over 40 years old.

Two of them are old white men with gray hair.

"Ha~ This is the first time I heard that he participated in such a banquet."

One of them, a white man with gray hair and about 60 years old, said with a smile:
"What did he like about Barron Hilton? Or is he interested in Hilton?"

"That's not clear. Barron Hilton controls Hilton very well, and it is difficult for outsiders to break through the heavy defenses he has set up. Even if someone is interested in Hilton, it is difficult to succeed."

"That's true. By the way, William, why don't you go and have a chat with him? It's a rare opportunity, and it won't be easy to see him again next time."

William Rhodes, who was named, was also an old white man with gray hair.

Speaking of these two people, they are the two oldest of the five.

William Rhodes shook his head slightly, nodded again, and looked at the person who said this:

"John, if you think I should go over and talk to him. I'll go, if not, I won't."

Hearing what William Rhodes said, John Reed frowned slightly:

"William, when you put it that way, people will think that I am a dictator at Citigroup.

But I'm not, and if I were a dictator, I wouldn't be resigning next month. "

"Of course I don't mean that.

But at least until next month, dear John, you are the president of Citigroup.

I'm just a high-level executive, and you're more effective than me in reaching out to him. "William Rhodes said indifferently.

John Reed was a little angry, and he looked at the other three colleagues who were watching the show.

John Reed said angrily: "Don't tell me, you don't want to go over and have a chat with him."

"Hahaha~ Of course not, we all want to go over and get in touch with him."

The first to speak was the youngest middle-aged white man among the five people present and said with a smile:
"It's just that this gentleman has a weird temper. We think it's best to wait and see."

"Blinken? What do you think?"

Bryn Bulley, who was named by the youngest middle-aged white man, is the CFO of the Lehman Brothers investment bank.

Bryn Bulley chuckled and shook his head, responding to the youngest Charlie Schaff:

"I feel that way. The rest of Wall Street feels that way. But people outside of Wall Street, they don't feel that way."

"Look, Lerner and his daughter are having fun dancing with the wolf."

Hearing what Bryn Bulley said, all Wall Street giants looked in that direction.

They also really did see the well-known Mr. D. Ted Lerner in New York, and his daughter.

Over there, I was very happy chatting with the person that everyone here focused on.

At this moment,
Charlie Schaff, who was the first to speak and the youngest, said suddenly:

"I've decided. I'm going to go over and have a chat with Lerner. A line of credit he owes to Merrill Lynch is due next month. I want to know when he will pay it back."

After finishing speaking, the youngest guy among the Wall Street presidents.

He shook his red wine glass and walked over there.

Bryn Bulley looked at his back and couldn't help cursing in a low voice——

"SHIT!! Who doesn't know that there is no bank in New York that is not owed by D. Ted Lerner!"

Then the CFO of Lehman Brothers also picked up a glass of red wine and walked over without saying a word.

Of the remaining three,
Citi's John Reed and William Rhodes,

Looking at the five people together, Sally Winston, the president of PNC Financial Services Group, who has been silent.

Sally Winston shrugged at the two Citibank magnates and followed without saying a word.

When the three of them walked a little further, William Rhodes couldn't help but said:
"A little Dixie, who has succeeded a few times, does it need to be so important?"

"Although it is Little Dixie, it is indeed worthy of attention. Come on, William, let's go there too." John Reed shook his head and said.

John Reed, who is about to step down as president of Citigroup, also followed suit.

One of the top executives to take over, Citigroup's William Rhodes, can only keep up.

the other side.

".Hello, I'm D. Ikana Lerner."

"I'm Abel Smith, Miss Lerner, good evening."

"."

Abe introducing D. Ted Lerner's daughter.

Before I knew it, I was noticed by several Wall Street giants who happened to be at today's banquet.

At this time, he looked at Lena's daughter in front of him.

This Miss Ikana is about the same age as Paris Hilton over there.

Under 20 years old, above.

Compared to the slightly more delicate Paris, the D. Ikana Lerner in front of her looks more dignified.

Ikana's figure is obviously much better, and the headlights of such a young car are already very impressive.

D. Ikana Lerner is well-known in the celebrity circle in New York.

This is a typical "other people's child". Even for the children of the rich, he is also a role model for many wealthy parents when educating their children.

It is said that at the age of 13, she entered the MIT Business School by virtue of her own ability.

At the age of 15, he left MIT and went to the Wharton School of Business for graduate school.

Sixteen years old, out to work.

Everyone thought she would join her father's company to work.

Who would have thought that D. Ikana Lerner would go to the modeling circle, join the American Elite Modeling Company, and become a model.

At that time, her behavior was a bit out of the ordinary in the New York celebrity circle, and was criticized by many people.

Many people said eccentrically—"As expected of D. Ted Lerner's daughter!"

But D. Ikana Lerner only stayed in the modeling circle for one year, and came out at the age of 17 to start her own clothing brand.

In just two years, D. Ikana Lerner's clothing brand "Miss Ikana" has opened more than 50 chain stores across the United States.

Not long ago, D. Ikana Lerner, who was valued by Goldman Sachs at a market value of US$11 billion, became one of the youngest rich men with a net worth of more than US$20 billion.

She started her own business and has experience since she was a child.

Immediately, it became an example that the parents of the New York rich circle, and even the entire American rich circle, like to use when educating their children.

A typical American rich version of "other people's children".

Although, like her father, being able to have the current career is all dependent on her father.

But remember that D. Ikana Lerner is only nineteen years old now.

Also [-] years old, Paris Hilton will only stay with her doting grandpa when she is [-] years old.

The other rich ladies and young masters were still driving sports cars to go clubbing, or during other entertainment activities.

D. Ikana Lerner is nineteen years old, but he is already the founder and chairman of a $11 billion clothing brand company.

The difference is still quite clear.

The key looks and figure are not bad at all, it is really a clear stream in the rich family circle in New York.

Contrary to her father.

Her father is a dirty current in New York's rich circle.

Seeing her appearance and figure, Abel was also willing to chat with him a few more words.

It's just that some people want to talk to him more, such as——

A hearty voice cut in.

"Oh, dear Ted, I'm so glad to see you!"

Here comes Charlie Schaff.
