America's Road to Wealth

Time passed and 2004 arrived.

The first few months of 2004 for Americans were, for the most part, similar to their first few months in 2003.

At its peak, the donkey and elephant have not yet been bewitched by the empire, enjoying the last peace.

In terms of international events, on January 3 and 24 this year, the Empire's "Spirit" and "Opportunity" rovers successfully landed on the surface of Mars, and sent back photos of Mars to Earth, accelerating the process of humans landing on Mars.

This almost declared NASA's final glory.

Then the leader who had led mankind to explore the stars and the universe for a long time was about to start to really fail.

In addition, at the beginning of the year, outbreaks of highly pathogenic avian influenza broke out in parts of Annan, Thailand, Huaxia, Hanguo and other countries. Asian countries have carried out extensive cooperation to curb the spread of the epidemic.

This is also big news.

On the European side, a series of major KB incidents such as a series of bombings in the Kingdom of Spain in March and the Beslan hostage incident in Maoxiong shocked the world.

The empire took the opportunity to announce that global KB activities have continued unabated, and the international anti-terrorism situation is still grim. Therefore, as a world leader, the United States will not relax its burden of cracking down on KBZY.

Time enters May, with 10 new members including Malta joining the EU. Another 25 member states are expected to sign the EU constitutional treaty this year. This means that the further expansion of the European Union and the signing of the first constitutional treaty will have a profound impact on the future development of Europe.

Washington undoubtedly cared more about this challenge to its own authority than anything else.

A long period of corruption, which proved to be very successful in parallel time and space, also began to accelerate.

May 4, 2004.

This day is a commemorative day for the country on the other side of the American ocean.

But for Americans, it's just another day.

At most, it is because this day is Friday, and the day after tomorrow will be a holiday, so it will be more or less mentally easier and happier.

AMC Bloomberg Television headquarters in Smith Tower, New York, Manhattan.

"Hi boss--"

"Good boss!"

"..."

In the corridor, Abel responded with a smile to the greetings from the employees.

From the chairman's office on the top floor to the TV station downstairs, Abel, who just turned 24, came to record an episode of "The Ellen Show".

"The Ellen Show", also known as "The Ellen DeGeneres Show", is a talk show interview program created by CBS Television in the second half of 2003.

In this time and space, because the host Ellen DeGeneres was cut off in advance by AMC, it became "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" created by AMC TV.

This talk show is favored by American audiences for its relaxed and humorous hosting style. It premiered on May 6, 2002.

The program combines anecdotes, celebrities, music, entertaining guests and human stories. Over the past two years, it has won 9 Daytime Emmy Awards.

Although the host Ellen DeGeneres is very capable, AMC's promotion is also very powerful.

But after all, it is a rising star. In terms of influence and audience ratings, it is still somewhat inferior to the more established "Oprah Show" and "The Tonight Show" created by NBC in 1955.

But only a little bit.

And Abel is here tonight because the crisis he has been paying attention to has begun to emerge.

He has been looking for an opportunity to speak out in a cryptic way. In this way, when the crisis really breaks out, he can also use his identity as a "whistleblower" to stand up and show the Americans as a savior.

The whistle should not be too obvious, nor too formal. Then instead of being a whistleblower, he would be turned into the one who started it all.

Therefore, the "Ellen Show", which is more entertainment-oriented, but has some social elements at the same time, is a good choice.

Besides, doing so can be regarded as not letting the fat and water flow into the field of outsiders.

"Boss, this is the script. Take a look, what needs to be deleted and modified?" Ellen DeGeneres said with a very respectful attitude, holding the script and handing it to Abel.

She is a middle-aged woman in her forties with short hair parted in the middle and who started the show less than two and a half years ago.

Abel didn't answer, and said to Allen with a smile: "Don't watch it, I believe in you, just follow your usual rhythm, don't worry about me being your boss, then the show effect won't come out."

Allen suddenly felt endless pressure coming, and couldn't help but trembled and became frightened.

But on the surface, she still had to look at Abel with a moved face, and said helplessly and seriously: "Thank you, boss, for your trust."

"Hehe, by the way, our mayor and Mr. Buffett will appear as guests later, you can chat with them more, I believe the effect will be very good." Abel said with a smile.

"Okay, I understand. Both gentlemen are already reading the script, and they arrived a little earlier than you. I'll bring up the topic in a moment, and they are already reading it."

"Hahaha... I was a little nervous when I said that."

"You're joking, boss..."

After the recording of the program started, the atmosphere in the studio became extremely warm, with constant laughter and applause. On the bright stage, Abel, Bloomberg, and Buffett sat on a long sofa, and Abel was sandwiched by top bosses. In the middle, he was completely relaxed, interacting with Allen in a humorous and funny way.

He felt that even without himself. With Bloomberg and Buffett around, either of them can at least top the ratings of 3 million viewers, right?

In addition to himself, tonight's ratings, even Abel became a little curious.

However, the program was actually recorded, and it is noon now, and it will be played at night after the editing is completed.

And whether it can be played at that time will have to be checked by the team of Abel, Buffett, Bloomberg and others before a final decision can be made.

Ellen DeGeneres is indeed very capable. After the tension in the early stage, he also showed very good qualities of a talk show host when facing three super bosses.

On the surface, even if there are three super bigwigs, she is still playing "high", throwing some questions from time to time, 'taking the opportunity' to ask Buffett and Bloomberg about their stock trading or doing things in New York City. For a long time, some interesting things secret.

Especially Bloomberg, who, after all, is seeking re-election next year.

Although he has done well in the past three years, for the sake of votes, he needs to start working for next year now.

"Mr. Bloomberg, what do you think of our boss?"

After asking the question on the script, Allen felt relieved while being nervous.

She felt that she was definitely the first person in this world who could ask this question and get an answer!

Even if the answer is false, the answer is already written in the script!

This is the thought in her heart.

On the scene, Allen looked smirking. The audience quickly snickered along with them, and they seemed to be very much looking forward to Bloomberg, who had already "broke" the whole night's news, to continue to break the news.

Anyway, after the filming is over, the audience will definitely see it like this.

They would never know that all of this, including Ellen DeGeneres and the performance of the audience, was all scripted.

Almost everyone is trusting, except for the three big bosses, the atmosphere at the scene is actually extremely tense...

At this time, Bloomberg also showed embarrassment very cooperatively, hesitant to speak, and secretly looked at Abel, who was dumbfounded, as if he was worried that telling the truth would make him unhappy.

"Hey——what's that expression on your face? Don't you know what I am like?" Abel looked at Bloomberg with "dumbfounded laughter" and complained.

The performance is like the relationship between ordinary people and good friends.

It can only be said that in the United States, even the big bosses of the chaebol need to show off their acting skills occasionally.

As soon as he finished speaking, Bloomberg and Buffett seemed to have made a deal. The two old men curled their lips together and rolled their eyes in a down-to-earth manner, which caused everyone to "laugh".

"Ahem, what do you guys mean..." Abel seemed a little annoyed, and pretended to be very guilty and said:

"Well, I did go a little too far. Warren, I shouldn't have thrown your McDonald's coupons down the drain. Michael, I shouldn't have hidden your change when you went to the subway. , let you have no money to pay for the subway. Sorry, I need to apologize to you for these two incidents...”

"Hahaha……"

The audience around were all "teased" by Abel and burst into laughter. It seemed that the atmosphere of the show was very light.

"Hahaha..." Bloomberg continued with a smile and said:

"I forgive you, Abe dear. Well, except for that. I think you're a very nice man, a lifelong friend, a true friend."

"I don't forgive..." Buffett interrupted at the right time, and the program continued according to the flow.

The two-hour recording, intermittent, ended in a superficially warm and cheerful atmosphere.

But whether it can be played or not can only be decided after the three big brothers have watched the clip.

But everyone knows that if it can be broadcast, tonight's "Ellen Show" will definitely shock the American talk show world!
