America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 494 The monster is about to start eating people
The one who saved Robert from being torn apart by the inner poisonous snake called "Remorse".

It's Bloomberg and the people around him, discussing the teams that are about to start the game below.

Today the New York Giants are playing against the New England Patriots.

The New England Patriots are a team from Boston, Massachusetts.

The reputation was not obvious before, but after the head coach and general manager Bill Belichick came to power in 1999, the speed of improvement was rapid.

Robert stopped thinking about the thing that made him regret it so much.

The old man decided to move on, and after listening for a while, Robert joined Bloomberg in the discussion.

"Hehe, today's game will definitely be fierce! Bill Belichick is probably still very angry. But who told Robert Kraft to be open-eyed for money, and he would sell even the star for money? I I think Tom Brady will give his old club a head-on blow today, after all, his new boss is standing here now!"

Robert looked very excited. Can you believe that this old guy who is almost 90 is a loyal NFL fan?
According to Robert himself, when he was young, his dream was to become a rugby player.

It was later that the family didn't allow it, so he embarked on the judicial path and had to be the prosecutor.

Among the people present, the one who is most familiar with football and NFL is probably Robert Morgenthau.

"A contract of 5 million U.S. dollars in five years, and a transfer fee of 3000 million U.S. dollars. If I were in Robert Kraft's position, I would sell Tom Brady without hesitation. And Tom Brady himself I must be very happy, this is by far the most lucrative contract in the NFL."

Bloomberg laughed from the sidelines.

What the two old men were talking about was about New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft.

At the beginning of this year, Robert Kraft disregarded the objections of head coach Bill Belichick and sold Tom Brady, a superstar star that the team had dug and cultivated, to the New York Giants for a high transfer fee.

Tom Brady was selected by the New England Patriots in the NFL Draft in 2000.

He played well that year, and last year he showed his superstar demeanor and was trained by the New England Patriots as the main force.

In a parallel time and space, this future NFL superstar can be ranked among the top five in the Hall of Fame.

In this time and space, Abel has no idea how good Tom Brady is.

But Wellington Mara, president of the New York Giants, believed that Tom Brady had super potential and spent a lot of money to get Tom Brady from the New England Patriots.

This timing is very coincidental, if it takes another six months and a year, after Tom Brady fully blooms.

Even if the New York Giants wanted to buy it, they probably wouldn't be able to.

Unlike now, Tom Brady just showed his unlimited potential, the value is high, but not for sale.

The Giants are willing to pay, which should have been the cornerstone of the New England Patriots' future. Tom Brady, who led the team to win ten Super Bowls, became Tom Brady of the Giants.

After coming from the New England Patriots, it may be to show his value, worthy of the sky-high contract and the attention of the Giants.

Or maybe in football, Tom Brady is a born superstar.

In just a few months, Tom Brady has performed very well and has already been confirmed as this year's NFL regular season MVP.

This proves that the deal established by Wellington Mara can be said to be very successful.

Coupled with several other transactions, the New York Giants have undoubtedly become the favorites to win the NFL this year.

The New York football team has been weak for more than ten years, and it suddenly became so strong.

The fans in New York naturally began to praise the Giants crazily again.

Later, Robert and Bloomberg began to praise the Giants' performance again.

Actually Abel doesn't like football much.He likes MLB, that is, the baseball league more.

The NBA is not bad either.

After all, half of his body is China and half is Texas.

But who is the NFL more popular? Seeing everyone discussing so enthusiastically, I will talk about myself later.

Abel also smiled and said:
"Hehe... To be honest, my new boss is very surprised and happy that the Giants can achieve such results. Looking at these lovely fans in New York, I believe that my players will also contribute more to everyone. Victory comes to repay everyone’s support.”

At this time, it's time for the singer to come on stage and sing.

Most commercial sports leagues in the United States will invite entertainment stars, mainly singers, to sing before most games start.

Similar to a smaller version of the NFL Super Bowl show.

The more important the competition, the higher the level of the invited star or singer.

Today's game, which has attracted much attention in New York and is very popular among NFL fans across the United States, is naturally a relatively important performance occasion.

It was two female singers who were invited to sing.

The Metropolitan Stadium is the home court of the Giants. In terms of singer selection, of course, it is a field that does not flow to outsiders.

The ones performing and singing on stage were Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears, two of the most popular female singers in the American entertainment industry in recent years.

After a song, Keira whispered beside Abel, and said sourly:
"The two of them can sing really well. But people don't know that they actually sing better at certain times..."

When Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears are in New York, they usually live on the top floor of the Smith Tower.

and Kayla are now "neighbors".

Even two days ago, the three of them were all killed by Abel in the middle of the night...

In this regard, Keira has some opinions.

She felt that she had a noble status, why should she suffer with the little singers in the entertainment industry?

Why are they being placed like Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears!
It's just that at that time she was already too tormented to resist, even if she was upset, it was useless.

It is also because of this reason that she is sour and unhappy now.

She didn't want to think about it.

If only Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears hadn't been in New York lately, living with her on top of the Smith Tower.

With her alone, can she handle the terrifying Abel?
It can only be said that she will be liked by Abel with her character, but she has absolutely no hope of becoming the main palace. There is a reason.

Ignoring her sourness, Abel smiled at her and the others and said:
"Okay, it's time to sing "The Star-Spangled Banner". We will definitely appear on the big screen in a while, and the cameramen will not miss this opportunity..."

Sure enough, the accompaniment sounded from the audience.

As "The Star-Spangled Banner" progressed, a picture of Box [-] appeared on the big screen in the stadium.

The audience started to applaud enthusiastically again, applauding for Abel, the new boss.

His acquisition made the New York Giants once again the focus of American football fans, allowing New Yorkers to taste the taste of victory again.

The mayor of New York City with a very standard smile nodded; the majestic Manhattan District Attorney rarely looked very gentle; the Chief of the Crick Bureau who was not wearing a police uniform looked cute today.

And the familiar faces of Americans appeared one by one on the big screen.

The atmosphere in the stadium has also become more enthusiastic. All the fans are happy and proud that their home team can attract so many big names to watch the game.

The stars of the Giants, such as Tom Brady and Drew Brees, were even more excited, staring at each other, trying to knock the opposite New England Patriots to the ground.

Game start……

In fact, after the game started, there was much less attention paid to the bottom in the boxes.

One is tonight, no matter how you look at this game, the Giants can win without any effort.

Secondly, the bosses in the box, except for the old Robert who has a real love for football, how much do they really love the NFL?
Not necessarily!

In addition, shortly after the start of the game, Keira Wilson was a little uncomfortable to find out.

Both Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears who were singing below were brought up.

She also found that the other members of the New York Hydra in the box were very friendly to the two of them.

There is no discrimination at all, and even look down on them.

She didn't know that it was because Abel was always good to his women in every way as long as they were obedient.

Others who understand his personality naturally have more respect for his women.

This is normal, if Abel doesn't pay attention to them, or even treats them as playthings.

In the eyes of these people, their status is naturally not high.

But if Abel pays more attention, even if he only considers Abel's feelings, including Bloomberg, he will be a little more polite to these female stars in the entertainment industry.

To be honest, after Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears came up, they were also very nervous.

Firstly, Keira Wilson was here, and they, who knew her identity, were somewhat afraid of her.

The second is the big shots here, except for Abel, they are not familiar with any of them.

But among them, the worst one can affect their entertainment career and even their lives.

They were able to enter here only because they were related to Abel.

In this case, of course the two of them would be nervous or even scared.

This naturally made their attention all focus on Abel.

Keira's displeasure was ignored by them.

"There are some objections. If foreigners are invited, the AFL-CIO asks for a bit too much."

They saw the mayor of New York talking to Abel, and they talked about it.

They couldn't quite understand the conversation between Bloomberg and Abe.

Even Kayla couldn't quite understand it.

Of course Abel understood.

Abel told Bloomberg a long time ago that he had a way to reduce the construction cost of Hudson Yards by about 10%.

The solution is to hire a large number of foreign laborers.

This is common in the population-poor oil states of West Asia and has proven to be a cost-saving solution.

Dubai, the pearl of the desert, is a city built by minibuses and cheap workers from Sange.

The problem is that this method works in West Asia, but not necessarily in the United States.

There are also many workers in the United States, and at the same time there are extremely powerful guilds.

At that time, Abel and Bloomberg said that the method was to give appropriate profits to the AFL-CIO, that is, the American Federation of Labor and Industry.

Let the AFL-CIO select some workers to come in, about 5% to 10%, and get wages several times higher than their usual wages.

Rely on these workers to fight against ordinary American workers who may have opinions.

At the same time, give some benefits to the high-level members of the Federation of Labor Federation-CIO, that is, the guild nobles with American characteristics, and let them join in.

And what Bloomberg is now reporting to Abel is the high-level executives of the AFL-CIO, and the asking price is a bit high.

Abel is no stranger to the AFL-CIO.

Corso, a guild nobleman in California, even colluded with him a long time ago.

However, the United States has a characteristic, that is, between regions, everyone's status is equal to put it bluntly.

They are all similar to the relationship between countries during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in ancient China.

To put it bluntly, it is fragmented, and the regime is very severe.

A state is a big vassal state, and the various families in the counties and cities in the state are the small lords in the big vassal state.

Complicated mess.

Corso, who has the right to speak in the California AFL-CIO, in New York State or New York, their voice is better than nothing.

On the New York side, there are New York's own guild nobles.

After hearing Bloomberg's words, Abel knew that it seemed that the guild nobles in New York were dissatisfied with the distribution of benefits.

"Wait a minute, I remember..." Abel pondered for a moment, "Amuso Lucchese, I remember this name. Is he taking the lead?"

Bloomberg knew what Abel was talking about.

The mayor of New York shook his head slightly, "The Lucchese family has long since lost its past glory. Amuso Lucchese is very cooperative, but the problem is that he can only influence about 1/5 of them."

After listening to Bloomberg's words, Abel nodded slightly.

The Lucchese family and Amuso Lucchese mentioned by the two are one of the gray and black forces in the deep cold underground area of ​​New York.

One of the most famous black and gray families in New York.

The families here, it doesn't mean that they are all named Lucchese or Gambino.

To be precise, Lucchese and Gambino are actually the name of their organization.

Before becoming leaders, most of them were not named Lucchese.

The surnames they declare to the outside world are also their original surnames, not the surnames of their organization.

Like Amuso Lucchese in the mouths of Abel and Bloomberg, the name on his driver's license is actually Amuso Scott Payne.

Thinking of this, Abel turned his head to look at David in the corner.

"David, can you contact Amuso Lucchese?"

The family butler nodded without hesitation, "No problem."

"Send him here. Right away."

"Ok."

David went on the phone.

Abel and Bloomberg's communication continues.

At this time Robert Morgenthau also took his attention back from the following game.

"It's not Lucchese's problem. The rats are working together this time," said Robert. "It's a guy named Vincennes."

"Huh?" Abel looked at Bloomberg and Robert. Abel had never heard of this name.

And with his photographic memory, super exaggerated memory.As long as he has heard and seen something, he will never forget it.

Then this Vincennes is either a small person.Or it is a newly promoted figure whose name has not yet reached the ears of people like him.

Bloomberg nodded, "Robert is right. This Vincennes is the secretary general of the Architectural Fraternity in Manhattan. This guy was originally a lawyer, and he only took up this position at the beginning of this year."

Abel understood a little.

He even thought of the reason directly.

"This guy has some heels? Someone behind him? Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a coincidence. As soon as we confirmed the city square project, he immediately became the secretary general of the construction association."

"Vincens was originally from Davis Polk & Wardwell. Behind him stood Cuomo."

Hearing the surname "Cuomo", Abel was taken aback, "Is that Cuomo? The Cuomo who married Kennedy?"

Bloomberg and Robert nodded simultaneously.

After being verified, Abel began to meditate.

Cuomo is a political powerhouse in the New York State area.

Let's put it this way, they are in New York State, which is equivalent to the shrubs without a leader in Texas.

Meanwhile, Andrew Cuomo, who is married to JFK.

His father, Cuomo Sr., also initiated the famous speech nominating Ladenton at the Donkey Party Convention in 1992.

From 1993 to 2001, Andrew Cuomo was a key member of the White House.

Do you understand?The Cuomo family and this Andrew are actually the Zipper couple's own people, and one of the donkey gangsters on the West Coast.

"Is that what the couple meant?" Abel spoke again.

This time he mainly looked at Robert.Because Robert is also one of the big bosses of the West Coast Donkey Party.

The difference is that the Morgenthau family is a very traditional donkey gang boss.

What is a traditional donkey gangster?That is the school that can change from a donkey to an elephant when needed...

The couple who zippered are not, those two are the big bosses of the new school of donkeys.

The donkey of the new faction is the one that carries the banner of new seed oilism high and releases Pandora's box behind it.

It is from the Ahina school.So after Ah Hei came to power, many people said that Zipper actually continued his rule.

"That's them." Robert said in a deep voice:
"That's why I came here and must meet you."

"Haha..." Abel said with a smile, "Isn't it because of the Giants game?"

Robert glanced at the game below, smiled and nodded.

"That's one of the reasons."

Although he was joking with Robert, Abel had already paid attention.

He didn't pay attention to the little man Vincennes, but the people behind this little man.

It's obvious now.

Some people see Hudson Yards, success is imminent.

They couldn't bear it anymore, they wanted to go down the mountain to pick some peaches to eat.

This kind of person is often not successful enough, but has a strong ability to fail.

They can't fix what Abe has done, but they can, in many ways, stop the progress of the Town Square project.

Abel felt very disgusted, even if he knew it, these people didn't dare to go too far.

They just want to pick some peaches to eat, and they have neither the courage nor the ability to occupy the entire peach tree.

It's not that Abel is reluctant to part with those peaches, but the behavior of these people really makes him dissatisfied.

As soon as Abel was quiet, the atmosphere in the box also fell silent.

The voices of the audience outside were very enthusiastic.

The matchup between the Giants and the New England Patriots was also very exciting.

But everyone in the box, everyone's attention was focused on this young, excessive young man.

Including Avril Lavigne and Britney, who can't understand at all, and Keira, who can already understand a little.

Abel thought.

That couple is tough and a real viper.

So, how about throwing some peaches to keep the monkeys from messing around?

No, I can let.But that's when I do it voluntarily, not when I'm forced to.

Facing Bloomberg's eyes.

Abel, who quickly figured it out, said calmly to David who just came in after calling, "Have you notified Lucchese?"

David felt the solemn atmosphere in the box after he left and returned.

"Yes. Lucchese said he'd be here in a minute, half an hour at the most."

Abel nodded, "Please, David, go and call Gambino and the others over."

David was startled, but nodded immediately, "Understood."

David went out on the phone again.

At this time Bloomberg frowned slightly, "Dear Abel, do you want to..."

Abel shrugged and interrupted his question.

"Michael, I hope certain people understand. I'm generous because I'm generous."

"It's not because I'm generous that other people can take bread from my basket without my consent."

"Do you know what I mean?"

Bloomberg was silent, and the old oilman certainly understood.

Except for Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears, everyone else understood Abel's subtext.

Keira Wilson, next to the two singers, understands more or less now.

After understanding, in the eyes of Slade Wilson's daughter, Abel was the only one left.

At this moment, Keira felt that in front of her eyes, the terrifying monster lingering in New York was about to start eating people!
