America's Road to Wealth

What Dylan is holding in his hand is actually the "tapping door" incident created by several newspapers under Murdoch's News Corporation.

To put it simply, Murdoch's subordinates chose the most indecent means in order to get big news. They try to get breaking news by eavesdropping on celebrities or certain company executives, so as to increase the sales and ratings of newspapers.

After all, it is for money, and the means adopted are indeed despicable.

Abel also heard about this incident in the parallel time and space before his rebirth.

He didn't know how Murdoch in the parallel time and space settled this matter. But in this time and space, when Dylan brought these documents to him, Abel was not thinking about the morality and immorality of Murdoch and News Corporation.

His first reaction was what he and his company could gain by doing so.

Can it invade News Corporation, even drive away the Murdoch family, and let Smith Media annex News Corporation?

Not very likely. Rupert Murdoch can indeed be called a generational hero in terms of media.

The son of an Australian farm and small media owner, he has been able to develop into one of the global media giants in a few decades. It can be said that whether it is ability or luck, Rupert has never lacked.

The key is that he can still gain a firm foothold in the United States surrounded by crocodiles. Although he has been trying to climb to the top of the WASP circle, he has not been successful.

But this does not mean that he has no background. If he really does not have a background, it is impossible for News Corporation to gain a firm foothold in the United States...

In fact, although the WASP group has never accepted the Murdoch family, because this group itself is the most closed circle in the world. But because of Murdoch's initiative to approach and Rupert's own blood, some people in the WASP group appreciate Rupert Murdoch more.

It is precisely because of this that Murdoch can more or less get some support from WASP, which allows News Corporation to gain a firm foothold in the United States.

This can be seen from the parallel time and space. After Ikana's father came to power, almost all the media giants in the United States ignored him. But Murdoch's News Corporation often chooses to side with Ikana's father.

The reason is because of Ikana's family, although it is not a WASP. But many of their concepts and traditions are similar to those of WASPs. In addition, redneck is gradually becoming a neutral word with a positive meaning, which is also somewhat in line with the ideas of WASPs.

Therefore, like Murdoch, Ikana's father did have the support of some WASP members, which brought the two parties together to a certain extent.

Off topic.

In short, Abel is very clear that it is unrealistic for him to take the opportunity to annex News Corporation just by relying on the wiretapping incident.

There are people behind Murdoch, even if they are not very powerful. But with the Murdoch family's own firm control of News Corp., it was enough to give Rupert Murdoch a foothold in the US.

Even if Abel contributes and the wiretapping door breaks out, at most it will only cause News Corporation to bear more negative public opinion, and the stock price of the listed part will fall wildly for a period of time.

But today's news group has become a big trend, these can only make them feel weak, not even a serious injury.

After thinking about this, Abel didn't let Dylan get out the bugging door right away.

He even asked Dylan to combine these things and make a copy and send it to the News Corporation Fox Building on Eighth Avenue in Midtown Manhattan.

Normally, Rupert Murdoch, who runs News Corp., works there.

Abel did not want to show his favor to Murdoch by doing this. Today, he no longer needs to show his favor to the Australians.

In doing so, Abel knew that with the emotional intelligence and wisdom of Australians, he would know what it meant.

On the morning of May 10th.

A meeting related to the future business pattern of the island of Manhattan was held at City Hall Park in the Civic Center of Lower Manhattan surrounded by Broadway, Park Row and Chambers Street.. the New York City Hall in the center.

Listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places, the historic City Hall itself still houses the government of New York City today.

For example, the office of the mayor of New York City and the venue of the New York City Council are located here. It is also the oldest city hall still in use in the United States.

The meeting was held directly in the venue of the City Council. The host was the current Mayor of New York, Mr. Bloomberg. In addition to the members of the New York City Council, there were also many important figures in the city.

For example, Mr. Abel Smith, known as the first honorary citizen of New York, appeared in the venue and was continuously photographed by many news media present today.

Yes, this is a public meeting. Mr. Mayor announced that this meeting will be broadcast live, and any interested New Yorkers and Americans can watch this meeting on certain channels of several major TV networks.

As for the ratings, it can only be said to be mediocre. Except for New Yorkers and some people who like to watch the excitement, who in other parts of the United States will go to the New York City Council?

The lighting in the venue was very dark because a projector was placed in the middle. The slideshow is playing on it.

Mr. Bloomberg's voice echoed in the venue

"...Extending from the shores of Hudson Bay to Lower Manhattan, the entrance of the most prosperous port area and the edge of Wall Street. With finance, culture, media, and high-end consumption as the core industries, it is equipped with the world's top high-rise residences."

With a wave of his hand, the slideshow had switched to a panoramic rendering.

The angle of view is looking north from Hudson Bay, across the green space of Lower Manhattan Park in the foreground, the most conspicuous building in the renderings catches everyone's eyes.

A church style that resembles the most important Christian cultural elements, but at the same time has a modernist style. It looks like a very special high-rise building standing on the west side of the Hudson Bay. Only on the far left and at the end, there are two similar tall buildings.

"New York Tower!" The mayor's voice continued, "1776.74 feet high, it will become the tallest building in New York and the tallest building in the United States after completion. Its height is the day when our great country was established !The structure of the tower starts from the 125th floor, and there will be a skirt building every four floors down, which can also be understood as a gallery. Ladies and gentlemen, a giant "church" stands on the shore of Hudson Bay!"

"Extending inland from this 'church' is New York, one of the most prosperous cities in the world. The total budgeted cost of this building is 2.4 billion US dollars."

When Bloomberg said this, many people in the venue turned their eyes to Abel.

Everyone knows that this is a core landmark built by Abel, who led the entire Hudson Yards plan.

A super building integrating top mansions, luxury consumption, vacation and sightseeing, and high-end business offices.

In the building named "New York Tower", several floors on the top were even built into a high-altitude indoor garden, which is a high-altitude playground. On the top of the corridors on the highest floor, there are multiple helipads on the left and right.

When necessary, it can even allow 18 standard-sized helicopters to take off or land at the same time.

Some of the lower corridor roofs are planned to be outdoor restaurants in the sky, or outdoor swimming pools, or other high-end resort and sightseeing facilities.

The overall appearance of the building is off-white, and the facade is mainly composed of glass walls and white-gray steel.

This building with an extremely eye-catching visual style immediately made everyone in the conference hall open their mouths.

As one of the investors, Buffett couldn't help raising his hand and asked: "Can this structure...can it be built? 1,776 feet...God, a building of more than 540 meters?!"

Mr. Mayor smiled and replied: "Since the design team designed this way, of course they have considered these issues. Now, the complete building construction design drawings have already been completed. For the sake of structural strength, a more beautiful shape was sacrificed, otherwise it would be more shocking. .”

To put it bluntly, this building is a bit like Reykjavik Cathedral in Iceland. It's just that it incorporates more Christian elements in its shape, so it doesn't look a bit like an aviation rocket like the Reykjavik Cathedral in Iceland...

In addition, it does look like a church. There is even a huge black exterior decoration in the middle of the front that looks like a cross, and there are glass windows that look like small crosses everywhere.

Seriously, if it was ever made. Just this image and appearance, it very pokes the aesthetics of many believers in the United States.

It is estimated that after it is completed, it is unknown how many devout believers will come to New York every year to make a pilgrimage to the largest "church" in the world...

You must know that since the founding of the country, one of the essences of this country has been "theocracy". A country where even the commander-in-chief and important leaders must swear according to the Bible when they come to power. If this building is really built, everyone present knows that it will have a huge impact on believers across the United States.

No one had any more questions, and Bloomberg continued.

"Wells Fargo's New York headquarters building, AMC TV station's headquarters building, Berkshire Hathaway's New York headquarters building, the three-dimensional space of the subway station in Lower Manhattan, the flat-floor residential area with sea view on Hudson Bay..." Bloom Berg introduced each division of this super plan one by one, and finally said:

"This is the overall development plan of New York City and Hudson Yards Group. What I want to say is that the construction time of the whole plan has passed for a year. Now everyone goes to the original wasteland, you can It is found that everything inside is presenting rapidly. It is estimated that in 2006, the New York Tower and the lower Manhattan subway terminal will be completed. Other corresponding supporting facilities, facilities, and buildings will appear before the eyes of New Yorkers before 2008."

"Five years from now, there will be a new landmark in Manhattan - Hudson Yards!"
