America's Road to Wealth

Abel didn't take any of them away in the end because he didn't like these soulless bodies at all.

With his current status and power, if he wants to play in this direction. His resources can make him play more excessively and outrageously than the old Chinese in the Neonxia Guild Hall.

Although one of Abel's impressions to outsiders has always been the characteristic and habit of being beautiful.

But his good looks are not purely just good-looking and beautiful figure.

Maybe it was at the beginning, but now his requirements for beauty have become very high.

One is to have characteristics, and he has no interest in a uniform body without a soul.

If you don't have characteristics, you can also have status, talents, and skills. At the very least, you must be able to attract him in terms of personality.

Or one of his feelings before rebirth.

And these things, the dolls cultivated by Xia Guild Hall basically don't have them.

What's more, Abel also suspects that these feudal scumbags have been cultivated since childhood, and they may also be responsible for espionage and spy work for the Xia Guild Hall.

Abel has no shortage of women, let alone such uninteresting, living doll-like women.

In the end, he naturally directly rejected Kitashirakawa Michihisa's idea of ​​giving him the best dolls cultivated by the twenty or so Kasumi Guild Halls at once.

However, John Wenders, the American ambassador to Japan, accepted one. The old guy explained to Abel that he wanted to see how the Neon people cultivated this kind of thing.

But Abel watched him look interested in the black pearl doll.

Abel felt that the secret that he probably brought back to study the training was fake, and that it might be true that he brought it to his private Simmons to study the mystery of Black Pearl's body.

After that, Abel continued to stay in Osaka for a few days.

It was not until August 5th that a total of 35% of the shares of the Osaka Stock Exchange officially belonged to Smith Capital (Neon) and Asia Investment Group. Abe began to prepare to leave the most developed city in Kansai, Neon. second largest city.

In terms of shares, Asia Investment Group holds 10% of the shares of the Osaka Stock Exchange, and Smith Capital (Neon) 25%.

The current shareholding ratio of Asia Investment Group is that Smith Capital accounts for 49.9% of the shares, and Abel personally holds 0.2% of the shares.

The total share capital is US$10 billion, and Han Guo has already subscribed for 15% of the remaining shares, which are mainly owned by the Li family and several other Han Guo consortiums.

Originally, according to the meaning of Han people, they wanted more shares. But was rejected by Abel.

Asia Investment Group, Asia Investment Group. The name is called Asia. Of course, Han people or Neon people can't only hold shares in it.

Abel's plan is that Neon people and Han people will each take 15%, and the remaining 20% ​​of the shares will be handed over to consortia in other Asian regions.

Only in this way can this special group play the greatest influence in Asia.

For example, Singapore, those countries with a little influence in Southeast Asia, and the big country in Asia that cannot be bypassed at all.

Putting 10% of the shares of the Osaka Stock Exchange into the Asian Investment Group is the reason for considering using these high-quality assets to attract investors other than Han Guo and Nihong.

On August 6th, a week after coming to Neon.

Abel finally bid farewell to Osaka and arrived in the current de facto capital of Neon, which is also the city these small cabinets are most proud of—Tokyo.

Tokyo is the central city of the Tokyo metropolitan area, one of the three major neon metropolitan areas. Formerly known as Edo, it used to be the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate, and now it has developed into a hub center in many fields such as neon governance, economy, culture, and transportation.

Judging from the current scale and construction in all aspects, there is no doubt that Tokyo is also the largest city in Asia.

When Abel's Boeing wide-body airliner "Smith" appeared in the sky above Tokyo's Haneda International Airport.

Below the airport, in a temporary special runway specially opened for him, there are Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Takato Maeda, and Minister of Foreign Affairs Sugiura Naoki.

The ministers of the two neon cabinets were in the VIP waiting room and received reminders from the secretaries.

"Mr. Abe Smith's plane is coming."

Takato Maeda, who was drinking coffee, subconsciously put down the coffee cup and looked up at the Minister of Foreign Affairs.

Sugiura Naoki shrugged at him, "It's already here, what else are you thinking about? It's our task today to welcome him."

"Hey, it's a bit of a fuss. He doesn't have an official identity... The Prime Minister asked us to welcome us. We took the initiative to do things that those Han people didn't do." Maeda Takato whispered a little unhappy .

Listening to the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry's resentment, Naoki Sugiura, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, pretended not to hear it.

In many cases, the neon elites have always had two extreme attitudes towards Americans.

One is outside and the other is inside.

The attitude shown on the outside is often extremely humble and even flattering to the upper class in the United States. When meeting with senior U.S. officials, he bent down and bowed in various ways, without any dignity at all.

So in the news media, in the news that the neon authorities face the US authorities, the neon people feel like servants.

This is the expression of the neon people's attitude towards the United States when it is reflected outside.

When reflected in it, there are many neon upper elites who are very dissatisfied and unhappy with the Americans in private, talking about rice and animals, and trying to revive the glory of the empire in various ways.

The problem is that these people, like other neon people, turn into that kind of dog leg when they face the Americans...Duplicity on the outside and cruelty on the inside, these guys have done it to the extreme.

Maeda Takato is such a Neon person, and as the dignified Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry, he also holds a high position in Neon.

Now, he was asked by the prime minister to welcome an American businessman together with the foreign minister.

Even if this American businessman is the richest man in the world, Tama Maeda feels that the specifications are a bit exaggerated.

This is the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. Their two levels of welcome, except for the fact that the US President is a bit unqualified.

When other foreign heads of state came to Japan, when they both appeared on the stage at the same time, they were fully qualified to welcome any non-American foreign heads of state!

Takato Maeda, who is a little younger and a bit more aggressive, is also a neon person who is very particular about seniority, so of course he has some opinions on this.

More importantly... the President of the Neon Central Bank who once suffered from Abel's hand, the President Hayami Yu who has run away now, and has no whereabouts or news, he is Maeda Takato's brother-in-law.

Under various circumstances, Maeda Takato would naturally complain to Abel. Of course, I only dare to say such things in private, when facing a friend like Sugiura Naoki and an ally of Masaharu.

"Let's go, don't say these things are useless. This is not just a simple businessman." The more calm Sugiura Naoki said bluntly.

You must know that this person today is not only the richest man in the world. At the same time, he is also the core figure of a large consortium in the United States, and the son-in-law of the family of the current US leader.

The identity of the son-in-law in the front is okay, but the identity of the core figure of the big consortium behind... Even if the Neon people want to ignore it, they also know that this is actually the master behind the United States.

Of course, Takato Maeda knew that he was the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry of Nihong after all.

The high-ranking officials in neon suits who wore suits for two summers, braving the scorching sun, appeared on the special VIP apron of Tokyo Haneda International Airport at the hottest time of the day at noon.

At this time, the Smith just landed slowly, and began to slow down and head towards this side.

It was very hot, even if someone next to him was holding an umbrella, it was still very hot.

Sugiura Naoki and Maeda Takato, who were wearing suits, were sweating from the sun and were very uncomfortable.

Takato Maeda, who was already a little upset, was about to speak in a low voice to Naoki Sugiura next to him.

Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from behind, and both of them subconsciously turned their heads to look back.

It was found that several men in black suits like them were walking quickly in the scorching sun.

The looks of the first few made Sugiura Naoki and Maeda Takato couldn't help but straighten their waists, and their expressions became more serious and cautious.

The person who brought about these changes was not their immediate superior, the prime minister, but several prominent figures from the Special Service Department of the Neon Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office.

Director Furukawa City Hei, Executive Takeda Eijiro and several others are all Neon people.

Takato Maeda, who originally wanted to say something strange, immediately shut up after seeing these people, and became more cautious in his words and actions.

Today, even some foreigners know that the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office is the "Eastern Factory" established by the United States in Neon, and it only obeys the orders of the United States, not the Neon authorities at all.

This institution is in a detached position in the Neon government, and basically all high-ranking officials who violated the interests of the United States were killed by this institution.

The key is that as long as people make a move, they almost never go empty-handed.

Those targeted by the Special Service Office of the Tokyo District Prosecutor’s Office, the best ending is to step down, the middle ending is to be imprisoned, and the serious ones are to die directly from some accidents. In the worst cases, even their family members will be punished. implicate...

Over time, not only the upper echelons of Nihong who know the inside story will be afraid of these people, but even ordinary Nihong people or employees of government agencies will tremble when they hear the names of these people.

Like Furukawa City Hei, he is unknown in the common people of Nihong, but his reputation among the elites of Nihong is almost the same as that of Liu Jin and Wei Zhongxian were heard by the scholar-officials in the Zhengde and Tianqi years of the Ming Dynasty.

The lethality is huge.

Maeda Takato and Sugiura Naoki were in doubt, when Maeda Takato began to regret what he said just now.

Furukawa Ichibei and others have already walked to Maeda Takato and Sugiura Naoki.

He didn't even look at the two cabinet ministers first, but first glanced at the Smith, which was slowly gliding on the tarmac, and saw that it was still several hundred meters away, and then he breathed a sigh of relief in front of the two ministers. Said to himself: "It's okay, it's okay, luckily I caught up!"

Immediately afterwards, the director of the Special Service Department of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office, as if he had just seen Sugiura Naoki and Maeda Takato, greeted the two ministers with a smile:

"Maeda-san, Sugiura-san, good afternoon. Thank you so much."

"Good afternoon, Furukawa-san. No hard work." X2.

Both greeted Furukawa, and then nodded to several others behind Furukawa.

It's just that the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry and the Minister of Foreign Affairs are a little confused at this moment, wondering why these people are here?

It seems that he didn't come to arrest the two of them, but he also came to greet Abel Smith?

But these people's identities are obvious and they are not suitable for welcoming foreign guests.

Is it to arrest Americans?

Oh, what a joke!

Then... only the former possibility is left, that is, like us, to welcome the American, Abel Smith.

While wondering, there was no time for Sugiura Naoki and Maeda Takato to use their language skills to find out the truth from Furukawa City Hei.

Because the Smith had already stopped on the tarmac, the ladder truck drove over to dock, and the American was about to get off.

All the neon people in very formal suits could only brave the scorching sun and wait for the American guests to appear under the scorching heat.

After more than a minute, the hanging ladder truck was connected, and the door of the plane was opened. A tall and strong black figure leaned out first, looked at them, and then retracted into the plane.

After a while, a tall and straight young white figure appeared at the door of the plane.

At this time, without Maeda Tamamon and Sugiura Naoki's instructions, in the shooting area not far away, the photographers assigned by the Neon authorities had already started shooting with their equipment.

These photos will be selected and retouched later, and then sent to the major newspapers and media of Neon.

This evening, even in the afternoon, the news that the American oligarch Abel Smith visited Neon and was welcomed by the Minister of Economy, Trade and Industry Takato Maeda and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Neon, Naoki Sugiura, will appear in Neon and various other countries on the news.

But, Furukawa Ichihei and Takeda Eijiro from the Tokyo District Public Prosecutor's Office Special Service Agency will not be on the news.

They don't even exist in the photos, because it's not easy to explain to ordinary neon people!

There were no fancy elementary school students to greet them, because there was a little too little time, and the other side also bluntly said that they didn't need it.

According to the original rehearsal, Sugiura Naoki and Maeda Takato were all smiling, just like their prime ministers when they met with the U.S. President, and walked quickly to the hanging ladder.

After a long distance, the two bent down slightly, and stretched their hands forward to shake hands with Abel who was about to walk down.

But someone was faster than them, Furukawa City Hei almost rushed over, and appeared in front of Abel before Sugiura Naoki and Maeda Tamamon, and spoke to Abel enthusiastically in English with a southern American accent:

"Dear Mr. Smith, welcome to Neon! Your arrival has made Tokyo even more glorious!"

This exaggerated flattering tone made Sugiura Naoki and Maeda Takato, who were behind him, open their mouths and feel somewhat righteous indignation in their hearts.

This is too lickable!

The subsequent conversation between Abel Smith and Furukawa Shibei made them understand why Furukawa Shibei was so humble.

"You are John, right? Hahaha, George told me about you and said that you are one of his most satisfied foreign students. He just called me two days ago and said that if I have any trouble in Neon If so, I can find you."

Abel smiled back.

"Mr. Tenet really said that? Then I dare not take it, and it is also my honor. I am just one of his many ordinary students! But what he said later is correct, and I am very happy to serve you, anything! "

"Well, I also heard from George that you studied at New York University?"

"Yeah, Mr. Tenet was one of my teachers back then. It's so hot in here, Mr. Smith, I think we should go in. The summer in Tokyo is so annoying, compared to my I still think the summer in New York and Los Angeles is more pleasant!"

"Haha, let's go. But before that, I should have a chat with these two gentlemen, right?"

"Of course! Of course! Please let me introduce you!"

Then even the director of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office Special Service, who was a little afraid of the capital, brought Abel to Maeda Tama and Sugiura Naoki who were looking at each other like a servant.

"This is Naoki Sugiura, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Neon. This is Takato Maeda, Minister of Brokerage and Industry of Neon. They are responsible for welcoming you today."

Furukawa City Hei first introduced the two neon cabinet ministers to Abel respectfully.

After Abel smiled and nodded, he introduced Abel to the two neon men:

"Maeda-san and Sugiura-san, I think you all know that the one in front of you is the famous Mr. Abel Smith?"

Takato Maeda really wanted to scold people, scolding Furukawa Ichibei, are you fucking a Neon person, why are you acting like an American at this time!

You must know that you are the Director of the Special Service Department of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office of Neon, not the Special Service Department of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office in the United States!

Naoki Sugiura immediately smiled like their Prime Minister, and began to nod and bow to Abel in a very "Japanese style", "Of course, of course I know Mr. Abel Smith! You are the most famous man in the world Entrepreneur, philanthropist and financier, how could I not know you! Nice to meet you, Mr. Smith, just like Furukawa-san said, I am Naoki Sugiura, Minister of Foreign Affairs of Neon, representing the Prime Minister and Neon today The Hong people are here to welcome you!"

"I'm Takato Maeda, I'm very glad to meet you!" Takato Maeda, even though he was full of complaints, had almost the same appearance as Naoki Sugiura. He was slightly stooped even though he was not tall. The height profile is just like the comparison between college students and primary school students.

"Hi everyone, go in after taking pictures, it's really too hot here."

Well, Tokyo, where is it not hot, Abel smiled understandingly and said.

Only then did Sugiura Naoki greet the special photographer over there, and came over to take pictures of the individual, and took various poses for more than ten minutes.

The task was completed, Takato Maeda and Naoki Sugiura led the way, and several people from the Special Service Department of the Tokyo District Prosecutor's Office followed behind. The neon people graciously welcomed Abel into the special VIP waiting room at Haneda International Airport.

After that, the Tokyo Metropolitan Police Department, which had been prepared long ago, escorted Abel's convoy away from Haneda International Airport.

That's what happened on Abel's first day in Tokyo.

The weather is hot, and the neon people are also "hot", passionately hot.
