America's Road to Wealth

Jean Georges' Michelin three-star restaurant is known as the best French restaurant in New York in the most exclusive part of Manhattan. It is recognized as a fashion landmark in New York and also a Vanity Fair in New York.

At around 6 o'clock in the evening, Abel went to the appointment and met John Chris, the head of the Morgan family who was smiling. After a simple warm greeting, the two sat down and began to laugh and chat, waiting for the restaurant to serve.

When the first dish was served, Abel and John Chris started to get to the point while eating. As soon as it was served, John Chris said straight to the point:

"Abel, you've been messing with me recently..."

"Oh?" Abel looked at John Chris in a daze, pretending to be confused and asked, "Why do you say that?"

John Chris looked at Abel's blank face, wishing he could go up and give him a punch, but he could only pretend to be dumbfounded and said:

"Don't pretend to be stupid. Everyone in the entire railway alliance is in danger now. Enough is enough."

"Ah~" Abel showed an exaggerated dazed expression, then sneered:

"John Chris. We are a free country, we are a capitalist country, right? We don't have state-owned enterprises, we don't need state-owned enterprises, that's right? Since this is the system, the acquisition A business is anyone's freedom. Any business is also free to be acquired, no one needs to worry about anything, right?"

John Chris shook his head with a helpless smile, sighed and said:

"That's right. But... making money is the first thing, isn't it? The railway industry is no longer a profitable industry, and there is no need for you to continue to get involved."

"Dear John John Chris, since you feel that the railroad industry is no longer profitable, you should give up the shares of Amtrak and Union Pacific. This unprofitable business, or even a loss, I am very happy I will bear it for you." Abel deliberately borrowed the words of John Chris, and looked sharply at the head of the Morgan family opposite him.

John Chris's face was finally not as natural as before.

On his face, there was an obvious look of wanting to attack. But looking at the younger and more heroic Abel, he finally sighed.

"Well, I shouldn't have said these useless things to you. I should have said useful things directly."

The head of the Morgan family shrugged, and when he spoke again, he changed into a business-like, standardized tone of bargaining.

"Make an offer, Mr. Smith. If it's the right offer, let alone get you into the business. If you want to be the owner of Amtrak and Union Pacific, there's nothing wrong with that."

Hearing this kind of words that he was willing to hear, Abel also showed a sincere smile for the first time:

"Aha, dear John Cleese, this is what a real American, a real American businessman should say."

John Chris shrugged again, thinking how long you can be arrogant.

Yes, you, Abe Smith, are amazingly talented and brilliant, and there is nothing we can do about you.

But you will always get old, and you have more illegitimate children than anyone else, it depends on what you do when you get old.

And at that time, it is time for our revenge!

It can be said that the head of the Morgan family had the same thoughts as Rockefeller when it came to Abel.

They are all thinking that since it is unavoidable, it is difficult to win a smooth victory when a conflict occurs. Then be a little more tactful and use the tried and tested method to target the rising Smith.

In desperation, these veteran overlords chose to compete with Abel for their strongest point - the foundation.

The background accumulated over the past hundred years is also the worst thing about a guy like Abel Smith who has only risen for a few years.

For example, in terms of talents, these comprehensive consortiums are not comparable to Abel.

Even with the Texas Consortium.

In the past, Texans have always been limited to the South and the energy and military industries.

In other comprehensive fields, without Abel, when the Texas consortium faced other consortiums, especially the old overlords on the east coast, they would be scumbags.

Suppose now, Abel starts a new company. He needed a bunch of his own people, middle and upper management, in this new company.

If this company is not in the energy and military industry, then he may not be able to get enough trustworthy talents.

With Rockefeller and the others, this kind of thing is easy to do.

The accumulation of hundreds of years, besides wealth and contacts, is the biggest manifestation here.

"Haha... reach a consensus for us, let's have a toast!" Thinking of this, John Chris smiled and raised his glass.

"Cheers!" Abel raised his glass with a smile, and clinked with the other party.

After a meeting of interests with John Chris Morgan, Abel returned to the crown apartment on the top floor of the Smith Tower in the evening.

He was greeted by Avril Lavigne and Britney Spears with a big belly, and Keira Wilson, who has not yet grown up but has confirmed that she is pregnant again, and his two children.

After kissing each other with three women, and hugging two children.

Abel chatted with them with a smile, and went to the bathroom for a brief soak.

After taking a shower, he wore loose silk gold-edged ancient Greek-style pajamas and entered his exclusive study.

On the surface, he is working, dealing with business matters inside, such as various business briefings.

In fact...

In the study, while drinking coffee, he started a transoceanic remote video call with a group of pregnant women far away from Hawaii.

Now in 2004, after technological development and technological progress. The function of video chat has gradually become popular. Ordinary people use the Internet, and now they can also start their video chats.

After all, due to technical limitations, whether it is video chat in the ordinary world or the higher-level remote video conferencing system that Abel can use, the resolution of the video is naturally far inferior to that of Abel before his rebirth.

It's probably like 480p resolution, and ordinary people's resolution is lower, maybe only 360p or 240p.

This is a little unaccustomed to people who are used to 720p no matter what, or 1080p.

However, at the moment, it is already the embodiment of the most advanced technology to ensure real-time cross-ocean continuous streaming, no delay or low delay.

At this moment, Abel in the study. Looking at several pregnant women in a bright room from the LM-P70 17-inch LCD monitor, the latest Motorola product this year, on the table.

The closest pregnant woman on the screen, her name is Gisele Bundchen, a native of Horizontina, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, is now a dual citizen of the United States and Brazil, and the chief model of Elizabeth's back garden company As well as the director of the modeling department and one of the presidents of the company.

It is different from the whole country in the big eastern country, which all use the same time standard. There are mainly 5 time standards in the United States, namely Eastern United States, Central United States, Mountain United States, Alaska United States and Hawaii Time.

So when it is around 6:00 pm EST, it is only around 12:00~1:00 noon in Hawaii, USA.

When it was dark outside on Abel's side, it was still bright on Gisele Bundchen's side.

"Everything here is good, except that the weather is a bit hot. But it is cooler in the morning and evening, and we can go out to play in the water and have a wind. At other times, we stay indoors more."

"There are also people who are willing to do nothing and stay in the house all day. We are busy all year round, and most of us are not used to such a long break once in a while."

When it comes to so many of them, will it be boring in Lanai, Hawaii?

Ji Niangniang with a big belly shrugged and said sassyly with a smile.

While she was talking, most of the other pregnant women on the screen were also laughing.
