America's Road to Wealth

The so-called times have changed.

Depending on where an individual is located, his or her state of mind will also be different.

At the beginning, when I discovered that I had a talent that was invincible on Wall Street.

Abel was extremely excited. He achieved wealth and freedom in the shortest possible time.

After that it’s all about enjoyment.

He enjoyed it hard for a month.

In the capitalist world, after a serious fall.

His cautious nature took over again.

The reborn people who have read too many conspiracy theories start to think about all kinds of things and start to worry about everything.

It started from that time.

Abel took the initiative to pay taxes vigorously to the IRS.

Take the initiative to donate to those charitable foundations.

Take the initiative to contribute to the New York Police Department.

At the same time, Abel began to keep a low profile in life and did not have contact with other peers.

That was from the end of 1999 to the middle of 2000.

At that time, Abel's ideal was to be a safe and wealthy man.

There is endless money to spend every day, and there is a mansion that everyone can live in for a day and a month.

You can change to a goddess-level girlfriend every month.

He is satisfied if he has his own private jet, yacht, etc.

However, human ambition is unlimited.

When wealth gathered around him in large quantities because of his talent.

As he gained more wealth, Abel's ambitions continued to expand.

Starting in the middle of two years ago, his life goals changed.

Abel was no longer willing to be a wealthy man.

He also wants influence, and he also wants to become one of the true masters while ensuring safety.

After changing his life goals, Abel walked out of the self-righteous safe house.

He began to actively contact similar people and began to attend some high-society parties in New York.

With this start, everything else will fall into place.

To this day, Abel Smith, who at the beginning was unwilling to mess with wealthy women, was afraid of causing trouble.

Already a thing of the past.

As one of the core figures of the Texas Consortium today.

He can already be regarded as one of the top figures in this country.

Facing a wealthy family of Hearst's level, Abel already had a somewhat condescending perspective.

Now I want to defeat Abel.

Apart from using physical means against Lincoln and Kennedy, it can be said that it is already difficult to achieve.

Abel is now the leader of a huge vested interest group.

Not only the Texas consortium, but also Oilers Capital also placed heavy bets on him.

He is also one of the representative figures in New York and has a large number of investments on the West Coast.

At the same time, he is also a new flag launched by the federal government to the entire United States and even the world.

It’s the seed oil dish that cooks the world, that new lamp bead with super brightness.

Even if the legendary Thirteen Families of the Illuminati wanted to target him and defeat him, it would not be that easy.

The increase in status and influence has made the Hearst family, which he was previously afraid of.

It is no longer prominent for him now.

The Hearst family in New York is actually similar to the Newhouse family.

One of the two is a representative of the Oilers in publishing and multimedia, and the other is a representative of the Angsa people.

Abel was not afraid of Newhouse, which meant that Hearst was not afraid either.

So when Amanda provoked him from various angles again and again.

Abel finally had enough.

Restroom in the banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

He solved the trouble.

Afterwards, Abel felt.

Amanda might be better suited to be Patty Hearst's daughter than Lydia.

After the initial pain period has passed.

Her initiative and enthusiasm.

This was the first time Abel saw the girls who had taken First Blood from him.

This surprised him a little, but also enjoyed it very much.

Compared to several of his well-born women.

Amanda, who also comes from a famous family, has a completely different style from them in this aspect.

A bit like his showbiz girls.

But they are somewhat acting.

And if Amanda's identity is still like this, then there is a high probability that she is not acting.

Maybe it's just her nature.

Anyway, the first night after returning to New York from Texas.

Abel enjoyed it very much.

The next morning.

1 Central Park South, Midtown, Manhattan, New York.

This is a residential building called the Plaza Apartments. It was built in 1907 and has 20 floors and 115 units.

Most of the apartment units are located on the first fifteen floors, and the top five floors are full of large units.

Especially on the 19th and 20th floors, there is only one unit on the entire floor, with each floor covering an area of ​​more than 24,000 square feet.

The entire apartment building has complete supporting facilities and the property provides 24-hour doorman.

There are gyms, elevators, laundry rooms, storage rooms, garages and other facilities.

The 20th and 19th floors of the apartment previously existed independently.

At the end of 2000, these two floors were purchased by a company called New Starting Building.

They were reopened and renovated.

Now it is a super large flat-floor apartment with 13 bedrooms and 16.5 bathrooms, with an indoor area of ​​approximately 49,000 square feet.

The large flat floor is close to Central Park, and the outdoor space on the balcony on the top has also been purchased.

It has also been transformed into a large flat-floor swimming pool, outdoor seating area and outdoor garden.

At many New York luxury real estate agencies.

This large flat is now valued at over hundreds of millions of dollars.

It's just that this is obviously a house with a price but no market.

Because of its owner, it will not be sold.

Its owner is none other than Mr. Abel Smith, one of the city's luxurious figures.

Last night, Abel, who rarely stayed in this super flat floor, moved in with Amanda Hurst behind him.

After struggling all night.

At eight o'clock in the morning, among the 13 bedrooms, the one with the largest area and the best outward view is in the master bedroom, which faces Central Park.

Abel opened his eyes on the round high-end Simmons that was specially customized by Simmons Company.

Next to her was Amanda, who was sleeping soundly, with fair skin but many red marks on her body.

Some of these red marks were made by Abel.

But what's more, she accidentally caused it last night when she was so happy that she was about to lose control.

This girl is very fierce.

Listening to her slight snoring, Abel knew that she was just like his other women.

Amanda probably won't wake up until noon today.

He wasn't going to lie here and wait until she woke up.

Sit up from the round Simmons.

Look at the beautiful Sleeping Beauty in her deep sleep.

Abel subconsciously leaned down and wanted to kiss her slightly fat cheek.

Halfway down, he stopped.

He smelled it.

Not that Amanda has bad breath or anything.

She sleeps with her mouth closed and there is no bad smell.

On her cheeks and near the corners of her mouth, Abel smelled something else.

A bit smelly of heather.

Heather is certainly not meant to be planted in a bedroom.

That was Abel's own taste.

Forget it, forget it, stop kissing, I can’t continue kissing.

Abel covered her with a quilt, got up directly, and entered the bathroom of the master bedroom.

Looking at the messy bathroom, Abel scratched his head.

It's not possible to take a bath here.

Last night, this was also one of the battlefields.

Shaking his head slightly, Abel turned and left the bathroom and walked out of the master bedroom.

Opening the door to the master bedroom, there was Duni and another female bodyguard standing outside the door.

Usually when staying in a hotel, the people responsible for keeping watch over Abel are two of the Four Vajras.

And at home, no matter which home it is.

Dorni and other female bodyguards were usually responsible for keeping vigil in Abel's room.

He looked at the boss who walked out of the master bedroom with no clothes on.

Doni and another female bodyguard looked at each other and whispered hello to the boss.

Good morning, BOSS.

Not that they were well-informed and had seen anything bigger than this.

But they have seen it too many times.

After seeing it too much, no matter how shocked it is, it will only be that way.

This is like what if there really were dinosaurs living to this time.

If they were really discovered, all human beings would be very surprised at first. They would be very rare.

But if they are successfully bred in large numbers, everyone can often see them.

To humans, they are probably just huge cows, sheep, cats, dogs and the like.

Abel smiled and nodded slightly to the two female bodyguards.

I need to take a shower. The bathroom inside is a mess. Have someone prepare a new set of clothes for me.

The two female bodyguards responded quickly, and one of them left to inform the housekeeper.

Tony took Abel into the bathroom of another bedroom.

Before the maid comes to serve.

Dorni, the female bodyguard captain, temporarily acted as a maid, filling the bathtub with water for her master, preparing bath supplies, and even washing his hair and wiping his shoulders without fear of getting wet.

Everything is very natural and smooth.

Because on weekdays, Dorni sometimes does these things.

He closed his eyes and let Tony help wash her hair, while Abel chatted with her softly.

Doni, I heard that you and Johnson are in a relationship?

Ah...yes BOSS.

It's strange. I didn't expect you to be with Johnson.

I'm surprised, too. But, BOSS. I have to admit, I have a crush on Johnson. I'm serious, and so is he.

Feeling her slightly calloused hands rinsing her hair.

Abel added: That's good. In fact, I think Johnson has a better character. He is also a black man, and as a boyfriend or husband, I believe Johnson must be much better than Lincoln.

Johnson is the black sharpshooter among the four kings of Abel's bodyguards.

The four kings of rock security are Edward, Lincoln, Johnson and Lin.

These four people each have their own areas of expertise.

The most stable character is Edward, but the most careful is Sniper Johnson.

Johnson is a black man. His appearance is very ordinary among black men. He is tall and looks like a slightly smaller version of O'Neal.

He has always been taciturn, and is the least talkative among Abel's four great kings.

Abel didn't expect that Johnson, who was the least talkative and least presentable, would actually fall in love with Tony.

At this time, two pretty maids in maid costumes walked into the bathroom under the leadership of the housekeeper.

The water in the bathtub had just been put in, and at the same time, Tony also rinsed Abel's hair.

Abel opened his eyes and looked at Tony, who was only a little shorter than him in height and probably weighed about the same as himself.

He suddenly felt that although Doni was a serious white Texan.

She is also the biological sister of Little John and the biological aunt of John IV.

One of the people I have known since childhood.

But Johnson seemed to make sense as a match for her.

This height, this waistline and weight...

The professionals are here.

Tony took a closer look at the two maids to make sure they were safe.

She just nodded to the housekeeper and exited the bathroom.

Abel lay down in the bathtub and the two maids began to serve him.

Serious service, body scrubbing, cleaning kind.

To the people around you, especially maids, bodyguards and the like.

Abel was always pleasant and had a good attitude.

And he has never engaged in any kind of beautiful bodyguards or maids.

A girlfriend is a girlfriend, a bodyguard is a bodyguard, a housekeeper is a housekeeper, and a maid is a maid.

He always has a clear positioning and is never confused.

Next to him, the housekeeper was holding his clothes and waiting.

All Abel needed to do was to close his eyes and accept the specially trained professional techniques of the maids, massaging and relaxing him while bathing his body.

About twenty minutes later, when Abel walked out of the bathroom, his whole body was completely renewed.

Simply settle down after breakfast in the restaurant of a few hundred square feet.

Wearing a light blue suit, he left the building.

When leaving the door of the building, an incident happened.

When Abel walked out of the door of the apartment building.

A little girl wearing sunglasses and a peaked cap, accompanied by several women, screamed his name.

Abe Smith? Mr. Abe Smith? Are you Mr. Abe Smith?!!

Abel didn't need to do anything.

Rock Security personnel responded immediately, isolating their owners from any possible danger.

Abel ignored the little girl and the women.

He went straight out the door and into the Cadillac Monster in the middle of the convoy.

Ten minutes later.

Edward, who was sitting in the passenger seat, took the satellite phone and explained the ins and outs of the episode just now.

She's a Hollywood female star. I've checked the information and confirmed it with her agent and company.

She recently had an event in New York. Her agent rented her a house in the Plaza Apartments. In other words, she also lives here, in Room 69 on the 13th floor.

She seems to admire BOSS You very much. After recognizing you, she couldn't help but shout out. That's why the scene just happened.

Oh, by the way. BOSS, the agency she signed with is your CAA agency.

After hearing Edward's explanation, Abel nodded slightly.

CAA Agency is a name that is already a long time ago for him.

But two years ago, when his career had just started and he was just about to try other fields from finance.

In order to acquire shares of this company, he also spent a lot of thought at that time.

His favorite cosplay was Liv Tyler, which he collected at that time.

Mainly because at that time, he had nothing in New York except money.

Whatever you do, you need to do it yourself.

Unlike now, even if the entire CAA was given to him, he would be indifferent.

Keep an eye on it for a while, and then talk about it after making sure it's safe.

Abel said softly.

Edward nodded, holding the satellite phone and about to turn around.

Suddenly, the bodyguard captain seemed to have thought of something, and turned to the boss behind him and said:

By the way, this little actress is less than 12 years old this year. She is British and her name is Emma Watson.

Emma Watson? Abel thought the name sounded familiar and casually smiled:

What activities does a British actress under 12 years old have when she comes to New York? She won't be deceived.

Probably...not right?

Edward said uncertainly: She is the heroine of the Harry Potter movie. Many children like her. She seems to have come to New York for a book signing event to give author J.K. Rowling a new book signing platform.

The person who reported to Edward just now didn't actually say anything about these things.

The reason why Edward knows Emma Watson so clearly.

It's because he has a daughter and a son, aged 6 and 8.

These two children are Abel's nominal godson and goddaughter, and are destined to be more prominent figures than their parents in the future.

The two children are both crazy fans of the little wizard. Their love is so intense that even Abel, the unreliable godfather, has heard about it.

Edward is more family-oriented and loves his children.

Except during working hours, Edward spends all his time with his family.

Having been with the child for a long time, Edward naturally has some understanding of the child's idols and favorites.

Even this time Emma Watson came to New York to sign the new Harry Potter book.

Edward also took the initiative to find someone and got some tickets.

This little thing is too simple for Edward now.

As Abel's bodyguard captain, he is now considered a figure.

At that time, Edward or his wife will take the children to participate and see their idols.

Wait...did you just say Emma Walter?

After Edward finished speaking, a few seconds later, he suddenly heard his boss say this.

The bodyguard captain nodded.

Is it the Emma Watson who plays Hermione in the Harry Potter movies?

That's her.

Okay, I get it now.

When the boss responded like this, there was no response.

Edward also sat down in the passenger seat.

The bodyguard captain watched the driver Andy driving next to him while always being alert to the situation outside the car.

The convoy swam quietly with the river of cars in Manhattan in the morning.

At about 9 a.m., the convoy entered near Wall Street.

Looking not far away, that small street symbolizes money, madness, greed, and power.

The people there have an almost pathological desire for money.

When a group of money addicts get together, it's a recipe for disaster.

The late sociologist and playwright Philip Slater described the symptoms of addiction to wealth in a 1980 book.

In that book, the writer says that money addicts are a danger to everyone, yes, everyone.

They are energetic, competitive, ambitious, and wealthy, but they are under great pressure and abuse laundry detergent and alcohol. Women are indispensable for their parties, venting the pressure brought by their work.

If you want to understand these, DiCaprio's movie The Wolf of Wall Street is a good choice.

Wall Street, in front of Smith Tower.

Abel gets out of the Cadillac Monster.

He looked up at the Smith Tower in front of him.

After six months of renovation, inside and out.

Today's Smith Building, also known as Woolworth Building, has long been renovated.

It now looks nothing like an old building that existed at the beginning of the last century and has been in existence for more than 80 years.

It is now just like the Texas consortium after it accepted Abel.

While maintaining the old heritage and history, it has been injected with new impetus.

The old shell, stronger limbs, and a new engine that can output terrifying power.

Something old has a new look.

It is bound to have a subversive impact on the old order.

call--

In February in New York, there is still a bit of cold air.

Abel blew out a puff of white smoke.

He took steps easily and walked towards Smith Tower.
