America's Road to Wealth

A scene in Hollywood,

If it doesn't happen eight hundred times a day, there will be at least four or five hundred times of open and covert fighting.

It broke out between Liv Tyler and Sarah Michelle Gellar.

But as far as the guests on the ship or Ovitz were concerned, they couldn't be bothered with such a thing.

Now that you're on the boat, it means you agree to the rules.

Once you agree to the rules, you must act within the rules.

If you violate the rules, you will be banned to some extent in this circle.

You can choose not to come, or you can choose to refuse.

At best, it's just a lost opportunity.

But if you come and want to quit midway.

Punishment is inevitable and often unbearable.

Within the rules, if there is any trouble, Ovitz and the others don't care.

The conflict that breaks out between Liv and Sarah now falls within the rules.

They really don't care.

Only actresses are interested in this kind of thing.

I am happy to stand by and watch the jokes and tricks.

To put it bluntly, it’s just the intrigue among women.

the other side.

Abel didn't know that in his absence.

Ms. Liv Tyler, a well-known tea art master, started her tea art performance.

He and Bloomberg arrived at the rear of the Ovitz.

It's a spacious platform, not nearly as large as the forward deck.

The area should be forty or fifty square meters, surrounded by railings.

About ten meters behind you is the cabin.

The whole space has an unobstructed view, making it suitable for talking about things.

Especially in the back, there is a beautiful view of the ocean.

This is actually a viewing platform.

At this time, "Ovitz" had been sailing for forty minutes.

Due to the slow speed, we can still see the outlines of Manhattan and New York Harbor in the distance.

Bloomberg stood by the railing and looked back at Abel, who was following behind him.

Abel slowly walked up to him and looked at the fifty-year-old tycoon quietly.

"Mr. Smith, you may have received some information."

Bloomberg looked around to make sure there was no one around.

He spoke softly: "Someone is investigating you and your company."

Abel's face did not change color, but his heart moved slightly.

Did Bloomberg call him over to talk to him about this?

In this case, Bloomberg may really know something that he doesn't know.

To put it bluntly, Bloomberg and his Bloomberg.

In fact, it is a large business information sales company.

Bloomberg, which is rooted in New York, may even be more familiar with New York than FBl and ClA.

If the guy wanted to, there was very little New York could hide from him.

This guy is eating this bowl of rice.

"David told me. Someone is indeed investigating me and my company." Abel responded softly.

According to David Mellon, it was in the upper echelons of New York.

It's not a secret.

Most likely for this reason, at the Hilton family banquet earlier.

Those capital hyenas who said they were happy to work with Smith Capital.

It's been so many days and no one has come to the door.

"Little Mellon? Well, okay. He's really smart and a clever guy.

His background and identity are also very suitable for Wall Street. "

Bloomberg nodded and said again: "But he probably doesn't know who is investigating you, right?"

"That's right." Abel said, "It seems you know what you mean?"

It seems like I really owe this guy a favor this time.

It's CAA shares again, and I tell myself this kind of thing in advance.

I don’t know what Bloomberg is planning on himself.

Abel was a little worried, but only a little.

In this world, if you want to succeed, you have to owe favors.

Being able to owe a favor means that you are needed.

Only when you are needed can you have room to bargain with others.

Let's put it this way, if Abel doesn't have what Bloomberg needs.

So is Bloomberg so easy to talk to?

That's the truth.

"It just so happens that I really know. I also heard it from a friend." Bloomberg smiled slightly.

"You are being investigated by the Manhattan U.S. Attorney's Office."

"Manhattan Prosecutor's Office." Abel muttered quietly.

During his morning discussion with David Mellon.

There is speculation about who is investigating him and Smith Capital.

Among them, the Bureau of Securities Regulatory Commission, the State Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the State Insurance and Capital Institutions Bureau, the New York Attorney's Office, the Manhattan Prosecutor's Office, and even FBl and ClA are possible.

Even the NYPD is a possibility.

These agencies and organizations have the power to investigate companies that monitor the financial industry.

The least likely is the IRS, the Federal Tax Service.

Paying so much tax is not for nothing.

Because it is a large taxpayer.

Alberto has had meals with many senior IRS officials and has had personal contact with them.

If the IRS launched an investigation, there was no way he wouldn't get wind of it.

Now Bloomberg says the Manhattan DA's office is investigating him.

It was indeed on the list of guesses made by Abel and David.

"I remember" Abel pondered for a moment, "The prosecutor of the Manhattan District of New York has been in office for more than 20 years?"

"That's right." Bloomberg nodded: "Mr. Robert Morgenthau took over this job in 1975. He has not moved his position in 25 years."

"Thank you, Michael." Abel said half sincerely, half falsely:

"You really helped me a lot this time. No, two favors. There is also the matter of CAA."

"Hahaha~"

Bloomberg laughed: "It's just simple things.

I would like to be your friend, Mr. Smith, and that is something I would be happy to do. "

"You can just call me Abel, just like I think it's more affectionate to call you Michael." Abel said with a smile.

"Okay. Abel, I also like people to call me Michael."

The premise is that the status is similar to him, or he has someone to ask for.

Look at the ordinary employees of his company, how dare they call him Michael?

Suddenly, Abel changed the subject: "Michael, I heard that you quit the Donkey Party and joined the Elephant Party?"

"That's right." Bloomberg glanced at Abel appreciatively.

The founder of Bloomberg felt that this young man really had a sharp mind.

I came up with this idea in such a short period of time.

"It seems that New York will have a new mayor next year." Abel said with a smile.

Through Bloomberg's current attitude, he feels that he has discovered what Bloomberg needs him to do.

"Hahaha~" Bloomberg laughed again.

This time it was a genuine smile.

He was very happy and said with a smile: "It's just possible. But if I want to win the election, I can't rely on myself."

Abel understood what he meant.

It is no secret among the upper echelons of New York that Bloomberg will run for the New York election next year.

A few years ago, when current mayor Rudy Giuliani was running for the second time.

Bloomberg expressed his ambition.

At that time, he was a member of the Donkey Party and failed when he participated in the internal election of the Donkey Party.

Otherwise, it would not have been Henry Carlet who was running against Rudy Giuliani at the time.

It's Michael Bloomberg.

This year, Bloomberg decisively quit the Donkey Party and joined the Elephant Party.

This is almost an announcement to outsiders that he will participate in the New York election next year.

This is no secret.

So Abel knew it.

It's just that he has some doubts. What does he value in Bloomberg's election next year?

Since he would let Bloomberg contact him so proactively?

Political contribution?

This guy doesn’t lack this, does he?

It is now 2000, and the funds required for various campaigns have not been exaggerated to the extent that they will be in the future.

The campaign funds in the United States are out of control and have expanded to an exaggerated level. It will be in the Obama era.

Abel was a little confused, he could only smile and said: "Don't worry.

I will definitely support you then.

When the time comes, I will definitely write the largest check allowed by the rules for your campaign office. "

"Of course. If you need it."

"I will also provide any help within my ability."

He said with a smile.
