America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 397

"……how do you feel?"

Aboard the Mighty Donkey, in the yacht's largest saloon.

Richard Gephardt, who was beside Coryton, spoke softly to him.

I saw Coryton holding a glass of red wine in his hand, covering his sight with the red wine and the glass.

He had a pair of divine eyes, looking at Abel Smith who was leading Jessica in the distance, talking and laughing happily with others.

"A very smart. Full of energy. Unbelievably calm young man. Considering his financial ability, it's no wonder he can make such a result."

Coryton said softly that there were only a few people around him at this time.

His wife Hinari, Richard Gephardt, Derin Schultz, and two other donkey gangsters.

Delin Schulz said: "The value of the acquisition is extremely high. It's just a pity that the smell of elephants on him is too strong."

"Believe me."

Among a group of men, Hinari's voice was a bit abrupt, but none of them showed anything special.

Apparently among them, Hinari did this a lot.

She said: "I think this young man is by no means a simple person who only looks at the position. Interests, only interests are eternal."

"Ms. Hinari, what you said makes a lot of sense."

Richard Gephardt, the donkey gangster who was the first to contact Abel, agreed with Hinari's statement:
"I think so too. I think it's just whether the benefits are big enough."

Coryton looked at the other people in the circle, "What do you think? I also somewhat agree with Xinari."

Most of the people nodded silently, Jerry Brown held back, and then said softly:

"Then even if we want to do it. Can we do it? What we have to pay is definitely 10 times and a hundred times what the gang of elephants paid, and we may get the same level of feedback from him. The problem is that if we do this, other people who support us What will you think, what will you think?"

"The matter Jerry said is also a question that has to be considered..."

"The degree in the middle is really difficult to measure," Coryton said.

"I think we can start from several places." Hinari said softly.

"Huh?" Coryton looked at his wife.

His wife, since she was young, has not been a woman willing to be lonely.

Yu Gong, Xinari has supported him with all his strength since he started on this path.

In many cases, he gave no less help in strategy than his staff and advisors.

Probably even better.

She also perfectly played the different lady roles that Coryton needed in each period, and no one played it better than Hinari.

Yu private... Well, people who take this path are people who both husband and wife are particularly interested in, and their feelings... Hehe.

The two have been playing each other since a long time ago.

It's just that they are open to each other, and they will do their best to cover each other, and sometimes even play together... This is not a secret in their circle.

And Hinari's independence began after Coryton retired.

Coryton knew that the current self was the assistant.

The wife is the core of the stage.

"We'd all like to hear your opinion, dear." Coryton said with a smile.

Hinari said, "Okay. Then I'll talk about it."

Several people around made gestures of asking for permission.

Hinari started her small internal presentation.

On Abel's side, he took Jessica and was talking to Sumner Redstone, the founder and chairman of Viacom Group.

Viacom Group is one of the large media groups in the United States.

In terms of scale and revenue, it is much stronger than the current Smith Media.

It owns Viacom TV Group, which has 39 local TV stations, Paramount Television Group, which has produced more than 55000 hours of programs, and Paramount Film Company, which was established in 1912.

There is also the MTV music television network with great influence in the American music industry.

It is also CBS, which has more than 200 affiliated stations, which is the original three major public television networks in the United States and is now one of the four major wireless television networks.

In the United States, this old man is a slightly stronger media tycoon than Murdoch.

Oh, and it’s also an oil.

He is an oil man, so his attitude towards Abel will not be too bad now.

The same goes for Sumner Redstone, who is also friends with Bloomberg.

Although today is the first time meeting Abel, it is still on this occasion.Sumner Redstone was very enthusiastic.

"Viacom would be more than happy to partner with Smith Media!"

Clang——

Sumner Redstone held the wine glass and bumped it lightly with Abel's.

"Time Warner and Disney are horrible. I think we can overthrow them if we join forces! Mr. Smith, are you interested in working together?"

"Of course, why not?"

Abel smiled like a courtesan, and his fake smile appeared more and more on his face.

This proves that his kung fu in this area has become more and more mature.

"Compared to Time Warner, Walt Disney, Viacom, News Corporation, Clear Channel Group, Smith Media is a small guy. We can work with a big guy, of course we would like to."

"Oh, that would be great. That's the best news I've heard from the many times I've been to the Mighty Donkey."

Sumner Redstone smiled happily, as if he really wanted to work with Abel.

"Who says no. Me too..."

Abe continued to talk to Sumner Redstone with his courtesan smile.

Jessica next to her just felt dizzy.

She couldn't help but carefully looked around, through the conversation between Abel and Sumner Redstone just now.

She already knew who the old guys were around this small circle.

Closer first, Sumner Redstone!The chairman of Viacom Group, the overlord of Paramount!
Stomp stomp, the man who would shock Hollywood!

Those next to me who are not even qualified to talk to Abel and Sumner Redstone are Michael Eisner, Chad Parsons and the like!
Compared with Sumner Redstone, they just lack enough shares, not big bosses.

However, the authority and power in the entertainment industry or Hollywood is not much worse than Sumner Redstone.

Such a character, whoever appears at any party in Beverly Hills, will be frantically pursued by all the attendees.

In the eyes of ordinary people, the most radiant star.

In front of these people, it's like a brainless fan facing a Uranus superstar.

Here, each of them is like the most ordinary ordinary people, each of them looks so friendly and friendly.

It was the first time to participate in a reception of this level and grade, even if Abel was by his side, even Jessica knew that her boyfriend was a giant crocodile with a higher status than these people.

But her own shortcomings still made Jessica a little inferior, even cringe.

This is unavoidable, and it comes from the class concept, which suppresses her mentally.

Jessica seemed to feel that it was difficult for her to even breathe.

That's when she heard Sumner Redstone chatting with Abel.

I heard Sumner Redstone say that Paramount is interested in the Cameron super project led by MGM, and is willing to share part of the investment, or undertake part of the publicity and production work.

Abel is also happy to say that both parties can try to cooperate on these projects.

Jessica noticed that several people were coming this way.

There are men and women, and there are more women, and they are all very old.The one at the head is even Jessica's former idol, the former first lady of the United States, Shinari.

"Hi! Dear Sam~ Oh, and Abel, what are you talking about? Hope we didn't get in your way..."

Hinari, who came over, said with a smile.

Sumner Redstone and Abe stopped their conversation.

Sumner Redstone didn't react too much when she heard Hinari calling him by his nickname.

The two apparently had a good relationship and were old friends.

"Oh~ I'm discussing the cooperation between Viacom Group and Smith Group with Mr. Smith!"

Sumner Redstone smiled.

"Oh~ That must be a very powerful cooperation. Viacom Group, plus Smith Media! Other American media companies will be nervous."

Hinari's tone was exaggerated, and she seemed to be joking.

Abel smiled slightly but didn't answer.

To be honest, Abel admired Coryton a little.But at the same time, he was also very afraid of the couple.

Before his rebirth, as a foreigner outside the United States, he knew nothing about the United States except Apple, Google, and Hollywood and the NBA.

Before his rebirth, he heard the anecdotes, scandals or gossip about Zhengzhi here.

There are some rumors about the famous "Corlyton's Shroud", "Collyton's Death List".

From the perspective of conspiracy theory, this rumor has its own nose and eyes.

Some good things, but not afraid of trouble, the American media compiled this list around 2016.

The deaths of more than 50 of the better-known Americans have been linked to this eerie list.

These more than 50 people have one thing in common, that is, they were all in politics, more or less affected the Coryton family, and then died inexplicably.

At the beginning, it was James McDowell, an important witness related to the "Whitewater case".

This witness died suddenly of a heart attack during the isolation review period.

The "Whitewater Case" refers to the Whitewater Development Company, which is 50% owned by Coryton, and has close contacts with a guarantee company suspected of fraudulent claims.

And Hinari also used this guarantee company to illegally swipe Money to support Coryton’s campaign.

In the end, the Corytons were acquitted because of the death of an important witness.But such results are not convincing.

After that, Vincent, the former White House consultant who was preparing to expose the "Whitewater case" again, and Ron Brown, the U.S. Secretary of Commerce who publicly expressed his hope that the Corytons would take legal responsibility for the "Whitewater case", died successively.

Vincent died mysteriously in the park, with obvious gun holes in the back of his head, but was judged to have committed suicide by the local police, and the case was closed hastily.

Well, aiming a gun at the back of the head to commit suicide, it has the taste of committing suicide with eight bullets in the back.

Ron Brown can already be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person, the Secretary of Commerce of the United States.

He died in a plane crash.But the autopsy showed that he also had a gun hole in his brain, but no one pursued it any further.

Maybe this gentleman has the habit of playing with guns on the plane.

Then when the plane crashed, he happened to be playing with a gun, and he accidentally pushed the trigger of the gun.

Bizarrely, shortly after Brown's accident, the air traffic controller at the time committed suicide, and the cause of suicide is unknown.

In November 1993, Ed Wiley, who raised campaign funds for Coryton, was shot dead and shot in the head on the day his wife publicly accused Coryton of sexually assaulting her, and was still ruled a suicide.

A few years later, White House intern Mary Magno was shot dead in a cafe just before she was about to expose Coryton's same XXX thing to her.

In June 2016, before Abel's rebirth, American writer Mike Flynn first published an article exposing the inside story of the Coryton Foundation.

Later, he boldly prepared to appear in court to prove that Coryton had done something to him.

But the day before his court appearance, he mysteriously committed suicide at home.

Over the years, many deceased persons who had relations with Coryton were "arranged" on this fabled "death list".

This couple, the water is very deep.

The heart is also not as sunny as they show the outside, but the harshest darkness in America.

For this kind of guy who likes to play eight shots in the back and commit suicide.

How could Abel, who had always paid the most attention to his own safety, be willing to get too close to him?

Don't forget how Atan hung it!

Even with rock security, and the status is not comparable to those on the "Corridon Shroud".

But this couple became so crazy that even someone with the status of Ron Brown dared to do it.

Abel believed that the couple was really pushed into a hurry and would dare to do anything.

Abel wasn't afraid of the couple, but he didn't want to mess with Mad Dog, as long as there was no conflict of interest.

Since it was a mad dog, he didn't want to touch it, let alone get close to it.

Then keep it at a respectful distance.

If he had known in advance that the Corytons were here this time, Abel might not have come.

It's coming now, but he doesn't want to get too involved with the other party.

That's why he chatted for a short time just now. After the party started, Abel found an excuse to leave Coryton's circle.

It's just that Abel doesn't want to get involved with the other party, which doesn't mean that the other party will let him go, the sweet pastry in the eyes of most high-level figures in the United States now!
A rising core figure of the nascent consortium, who would give up if such a figure could be drawn into his camp?
Even though it is very difficult, it is not impossible to try.

Hinari came with such a purpose.

Seeing that Abel was not very enthusiastic about herself, she didn't feel blocked.

I was still thinking about continuing the conversation, but suddenly I heard Jessica next to Abel yelping in pain.

"what--"

"What's wrong?" Abel immediately asked with concern.

Jessica's beautiful eyes were pitiful, and she looked at Abel pitifully, with grievances in her eyes.

Abel blinked at her imperceptibly.

Jessica froze.

But she reacted very quickly, under the watchful eyes of the big people around, she said cautiously:
"It's okay...just...the high heels are a bit high, they're twisted, and it hurts."

"Oh, let me see."

Then, under the watchful eyes of the big shots, Abel bent down his tall body and squatted down to check.
