America's Road to Wealth

"Well, I see. This is just a trivial matter and will not affect our progress."

Time soon came to August, and the Alberts were still in the San Francisco Bay Area.

He answered a call just now, and it was from New York.

It is a matter related to Hudson Yards. Simply put, it is a small shareholder of the project. Something happened within the family, which may affect the project.

Bloomberg called him and told him about it.

"It's just that someone died. People die every day in the United States. Although a rich man's child died this time, it's nothing. Everything remains the same."

After Abel finished speaking, he hung up the phone, walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows, looked at the night view of San Francisco outside, shook his head and sighed softly.

I don’t know if all wealth heirs are so annoying. No matter the country, region or nationality, the rich second generation are almost synonymous with desire and wealth, but they can’t get rid of the entanglement of scandals.

Abel thought about the business empire he had built, and what his children would be like in the future. Perhaps, there would also be such prodigal sons who only spend money and even damage their bodies.

After all, I have so many children, it is impossible for me to control everyone.

No, I must not let wealth erode my children into waste!

Abel squinted his eyes slightly and made a decision. Wealth is a double-edged sword for children. If it is used well, it can make children even more powerful. If it is not used well, it can only kill them faster. sword.

When your children start to go to school, you must not be used to it, let alone let them develop the habit of squandering.

Do you want to build your own kindergarten or primary school?

After thinking about this, Abel picked up his mobile phone and called Ikana. Soon, the phone was picked up. Hearing Ikana's sweet voice, Abel, who was a little heavy in his heart, felt much better.

"My dear, I have some news to tell you. It's not a big deal, but I still think it's better to let you know."

"Hey, what news, you asked me to tell me, is it good news or bad news?" On the phone, Ikana asked with a smile.

"It should not be good news. Not long ago, Maria Goldman was found dead in her New York apartment."

"God—" Ikana exclaimed.

As a wealthy New York socialite in the same age range, Ikana hasn't been in New York for a long time.

But hearing the news of the death of a former friend, I was somewhat embarrassed.

"She has said many times that her life will not be too long. She has always said that she will not live to be 30 years old. Unexpectedly..."

The reason why Abel made this special call was that the Goldman Sachs family was one of the minority shareholders of the Hudson Yards project.

Maria Goldman, who also died because of this high drug overdose, was a classmate of Ikana's high school and junior high school. So he mentions it to her by the way.

As for this Goldman Sachs family, it's not that Goldman Sachs.

Goldman Sachs of the Goldman Sachs Group, in fact, its name comes from "Gaojia" and "Shengjia". After the merger of the two founder families, Shengkes and Goldman, it becomes Goldman Sachs.

The Goldman Sachs of Maria Goldman is just her surname. It has nothing to do with the Goldman Sachs of Goldman and Shengkes.

The New York-based Goldman Sachs family's wealth comes from real estate -- they own more than 400 properties in New York, including a 17 percent stake in the World Trade Center development.

Solil Goldman created Solil Management when he started buying bank auction properties on the cheap in the 1950s.

The company had a percentage of the Hudson Yards lot, and Abe pulled them in when he called the project.

There are a lot of similar minority shareholders, mainly local snakes from all walks of life in New York in this project.

It is because there are so many people sharing a piece of the pie at the same time, and the Hudson Yards renovation project that started with all kinds of difficulties in the parallel time and space will become so easy when it comes to Abel.

At the same time, this is one of the reasons why Abel can respond to everyone in New York.

Now he is the cash cow of many New York rich and powerful, and the leader of interests in a certain sense.

There is no conflict of interest and there is a relationship of interest, and you can still get benefits from him.

Well these New Yorkers don't mind supporting a Texan as their head.

After chatting with Ikana for a while, Abel ended the call. Abel returned to the bedroom and went to bed with Scarlett Johansson, who had rushed over two days ago, to sleep.

Having said that, Scarlett has "grown up".

At Abel's request, she didn't go for shrunken bear surgery.

Also because of the reason Abel likes it so much, she even specially strengthened the nutrition and protection in this aspect, which is greater than that in parallel time and space.

Make Abel very happy.

In the morning of the next day, Abel watched the news of the death of a rich second-generation celebrity that was being reported on the front pages of major newspapers, and couldn't help shaking his head, "Entertainment to death!"

Abel closed the newspaper and said helplessly.

No way, entertainment is the media hegemony of this era. No matter what method is used, it is only for bloggers to laugh, and artistic value and ethics can be put aside. It can be said that "the one who wins entertainment wins the world".

Regardless of the content and whatever the perspective, the entire purpose of the medium is to entertain readers.

"God, I didn't expect that Warren Beatty is simply a super big stallion, it's so disgusting..."

At the breakfast table, Scarlett Johansson, who was also reading the newspaper, suddenly exclaimed, with a look of disgust on her face, which made Abel, who was still sighing about being entertained to death, couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth a few times, and asked in confusion. : "What happened to Warren Beatty?"

Warren Beatty was a popular niche in Hollywood in the 1970s, almost as popular as Tom Cruise or Leonardo now.

"Look, this is a super stallion in human skin! The media broke the news that Warren Beatty was eavesdropped on a discussion with his friends a few days ago. During the discussion, Warren Beatty said that he I have actively or passively had sex with 12,775 women, my God... 12,775!"

Abel took the newspaper and listened to Scarlett's complaints, the corners of his mouth couldn't help twitching again, he looked at the newspaper in disbelief, the more he read it, the more he admired it.

Nima, the 67-year-old Warren Beatty is not a first brother even though he is almost 20 years old.

But he has slept with almost all the beauties in Hollywood for decades, some of whom he dated before, and some of whom he dated, including top female stars of the last century such as Jane Fonda and Joan Collins.

Oh, and not surprisingly, Madonna.

If we go by the number of women exposed, on average he slept with 245 women every year for 47 years.

Of course, this is very unscientific. After all, as his age increases, his physical strength will definitely not be able to keep up. If it is shortened to thirty years, then this guy will have sex with two women almost every day, and it still won’t last long. heavy...

This is Nima’s humanoid self-propelled artillery!

Old scum!

A respectable senior.

Although Abel knew that there was probably some exaggeration in it.

In order to attract attention, the media probably personally added Warren Beatty several times.

However, Abel feels that even if it is reduced by 10 times, 1,277 is still an exaggeration.

Abel thought that compared with this guy, he was really insignificant. There was no way to compare with the old scumbag. It was like the sky, the earth, or the eighteenth floor underground.

It seems that I am really too pure, too pure!

Time passed, and Abel stayed in the San Francisco Bay Area until mid-August.

At this time, the internal elections of the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party also began.

Some media in California even revealed that this year is the year of the "bush" family.

Why do you say that?

Because in Florida, we have Florida Governor Jeb Bush. In the white house, there is George Bush.

In California, Neil Shrub, who just became a member of the House of Representatives two years ago, is also running for the Donkey Party's internal election this year. If he wins, he can represent the Donkey Party in this year's California election.

Once both George and Neil win this year, the Bush family will be able to have two governors and a great leader at the same time, which is more successful than any other political family in American history.

There is a lot of praise in the article, but anyone with a discerning eye can see that it is flattery. Because this newspaper has always taken the stance of the Donkey Party, and its key support is Neil’s competitors within the Donkey Party, there was no good intention in producing this report.

Although strictly speaking, the general election does not start for more than three months.

However, the smell of gunpowder between the two parties has frequently appeared in the media.

The actual election campaign has already begun in advance, and interested people from all walks of life have appeared in the media and started their performances in front of potential voters and intended voters.

No one will really wait until December to start taking action. If you really come out and ask voters to vote for you by then, it will be too late.

Studies show that voters are more likely to vote for politicians they know.

Therefore, starting from July and August, politicians need to appear in the media one after another, trying their best to show their faces in front of voters and try to become familiar with them.

However, we will not really start canvassing votes directly, because the United States has relevant regulations and cannot formally canvass votes until the election period.

Strictly speaking, the warm-up should start now.

So whether it was Neil, George, or Abel's father, they all started their own actions.

It was also at this time that Abel returned to his loyal New York.

In New York in August, the weather is at its hottest.

A light rain last night made Manhattan look a little stuffy today.

Tourists and passers-by walking on Fifth Avenue were dripping with sweat.

The surrounding businesses are very smart, and the air conditioner is turned on very loudly, which is very attractive.

But none of the shops on Fifth Avenue sell cheap goods, all luxury goods or brand-name goods.

Ordinary people can't afford it, and only the wealthy people living on Manhattan Island and tourists can go into shops and enjoy the air conditioning while choosing from the dazzling array of branded goods.

1150 Fifth Avenue, Carnegie Hill Apartments, eighteenth floor.

This is a 7-bedroom, 9-bathroom, 7,500-square-foot apartment located on the eighteenth floor of the Carnegie Hill Building on Fifth Avenue.

All along, this house has served as Anne Hathaway's residence in New York.

Like now, she took her children back to New York to visit relatives, and lived here after returning from New Jersey.

Anne's child is named Al Smith, a beautiful and lovely little boy who is almost a year old.

It was the age of learning to walk. At this time, Annie was smiling, accompanied by two parenting experts, training to attract her son to walk.

Watching him learn to walk, from the master bedroom to the living room, a little bit through a lounge with huge French windows, two long art corridors full of murals and decorations.

"Oh, Al is awesome! Oh, my little one!"

"You are so awesome, come to mom! Come to mom, haha..."

Hugging the son who rushed over with a smile, Annie and the little baby rolled into a ball on the carpet, next to the huge French windows.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the artificial lake in the middle of Central Park not far away.

August is the most beautiful time in Central Park, and it is green in the past.

The artificial lake in the middle of the park is even more blue and sparkling under the sunlight at ten o'clock in the morning!

This scene made Anne feel a little dazed, a few years ago, it should have been 4 years.

At that time, I was also at this time, sitting here looking at the beauty of Central Park.

She remembered that she and Abel had just known each other for two months, and she became his girlfriend and moved in here.

At that time, Abel seemed to be in a hurry to return to Texas and left himself here.

Time flies so fast, I was not even 18 years old at that time.

Now, she looked at her son, who was lying on the glass with both hands, babbling at the bottom.

Now her son can almost walk on his own.

While I was sighing, suddenly the housekeeper came over and said with a happy face:

"Madam, Mr. Sefolossa said Mr. Smith is on his way!"

"Who? Mr. Smith?" Anne was stunned for a moment, then realized, "You said Abel is on his way over?"

"Yes." The housekeeper said with a smile looking at the hostess's surprise.

"Ah!" Annie jumped up happily. Al was supporting her mother, but now she fell down on the soft carpet and couldn't help crying.

"Oh, I'm sorry, baby, mommy is so happy! Your daddy is coming over, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, don't cry!"

Annie quickly picked up Al and comforted him, and handed Al to the nanny as soon as he stopped crying. She hurried into the room and started putting on makeup.

Because she didn't plan to go out today, she didn't put on any makeup when she got up in the morning, just a simple skin care routine.

A woman only looks good if she pleases herself, not to mention there are so many competitors. Anne, like other women, hopes that Abel will always only see her beautiful side.

It’s just that Abel came too quickly.

She was only half done with makeup when the housekeeper told her that the master had arrived.

Before she could finish putting on her makeup and go out, she saw Abel walking in with a smile on his face and holding his son in his arms.

Seeing the harmonious relationship between the father and son, Annie felt that the whole room brightened up in an instant.
