America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 164 The good show is about to begin

"I regret."

  As the provider of the venue, facilities and services tonight.

  The owner of the Hilton Hotel.

  Barry Hilton after the appearance of John Chris Morgan and David Rockefeller.

  He suddenly said to his granddaughter Paris standing beside him:

   "Dear Paris. I suddenly regret it."

  Paris:? ? ?

   "What do you mean?" Paris asked cautiously.

   She rarely saw this slightly depressed look on Grandpa's face.

   In her impression, she took over the Hilton Hotel.

   And let Hilton Hotel go international and develop better grandpa.

  He has always been a high-spirited person who never admits defeat no matter what.

"Ugh"

   Barry Hilton sighed.

  He said: "That day when Abel Smith attended our reception for the first time. I should have encouraged you with all my strength and let you associate with him."

   "If you are by his side now, as his female companion. How wonderful it would be!"

  Hearing what grandpa said, it was Paris' turn to be speechless.

   Want me to take the initiative?

   I am such a person!

  I am the eldest lady of the Hilton family!

  Why should I take the initiative to chase him? !

   But look at the characters who are next to Abel at this moment.

   It reminds me of what Grandpa said just now.

  She did realize that at this time, she could be by Abel's side.

  That would be great!

   "Grandpa." Paris said aggrievedly:

   "He's not interested in me. He'd rather chase after Ted Lener's ugly daughter than take the initiative to express a little interest in your granddaughter!"

   "Uh" Barry Hilton looked at his granddaughter, and then at Ikana who was standing with Ted Lena in the distance.

   Is it ugly?

  The old guy doesn't think so.

   But now, he feels he should encourage his granddaughter.

just in case

   Just in case?

  Barry said with a smile: "You are more beautiful and attractive than Ikana. Believe me, Paris. If you take the initiative, no man can resist your charm!"

   Well, that's what Anne Hirst said to her daughter.

  Anyway, it’s not a loss to try it, and the granddaughter will not lose a piece of meat because of it.

  Amount. Maybe there will be less meat.

   But there is only a small piece of meat, so what is there to be afraid of?

  Even if we can’t really walk together in the future.

   Having such an experience may be of some help to her in the marriage and love market in the future.

  No matter how you think about it, you will not lose money, even if you fail completely.

   Then what are you afraid of?

   But if it succeeds, it will be of great help to her and the Hilton family.

   It is a business that makes a lot of money without capital, or a piece of meat that makes a lot of money.

  Barry Hilton felt that this was probably one of the best deals in the world.

  Of course he wants to encourage it.

   "Grandpa, do you really think so?" Paris lacked confidence.

  That guy was rumored to be dating more than a dozen people at the same time.

   Among them are the ruthless characters in the circle of Wall Street socialites such as Ikana and Peggy Morgenthau.

  Although I think I look good and have a good figure.

  The family background is not worse than that of Ikana, even better.

   But facing that guy, she didn't feel that she had any charm to attract him.

   But now that grandpa said so, Paris has motivation in her heart.

   "Of course." Barry Hilton affirmed.

  As the second generation of the Hilton family, Barry has long worried about this family.

   But the younger generation, none of them are promising.

  This makes Barry Hilton, in his seventies, working hard for the family.

  He was already tired.

  If you can find a thigh to shelter your family from wind and rain.

  It's just a granddaughter, even his most beloved granddaughter.

  Barry also felt indifferent.

   "Hmm" Paris lowered her head slightly, looking at the ground.

   Here at Grandpa, Paris, who was encouraged again, finally had a little courage.

   At this moment, Paris suddenly heard her grandfather let out a little surprise.

  She quickly raised her head and looked at Grandpa, "What's the matter? Grandpa."

   "I didn't expect him to come too." Barry Hilton said.

   "Oh?" Paris looked at the small circle again.

  She saw an energetic middle-aged man with a smile on his face coming out of the elevator.

  Paris felt that this middle-aged man looked familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.

   "Grandpa, who is that?" Paris couldn't remember for a while, she asked her grandpa.

  Barry Hilton whispered a name.

  Paris immediately said in surprise:

   "He's coming too. Oh, this guy seems to be a Texan too. Abel is a Texan too."

   "Grandpa, he is only one of the two candidates. He is still in the lawsuit, so there is no need to be so surprised by his arrival, it's not that he has already lived in that house."

   Barry Hilton was a little disappointed with his granddaughter's words.

  Because the granddaughter's words revealed that she is indeed not very good in terms of IQ.

   doesn't care much about Masaharu either.

   Otherwise, it should be like most smart people in America at this time.

   Everyone knows this guy in front of him is very good-looking, beyond gold and jade.

   There is a high probability that he will be the next most powerful person on this planet in name.

   Be stupid, be stupid.

  Girls who are a bit stupid can actually live an easier life.

  What if someone likes this kind of stupid girl?

  Barry Hilton could only comfort himself in this way.

  Abel’s side, regardless of the consideration of practical interests.

   It is still a relationship between two families.

  He had no choice but to express the greatest intimacy and importance to the latest guest.

  Tonight, for the first time, he took the initiative to walk towards the other party.

   "Oh, George. I didn't expect you to come."

  Abel walked over with a smile and shook hands with this middle-aged man who was extravagant.

   "Hahaha~" The middle-aged man, who was about the same age as Alexander and Ted Lena, smiled and shook hands with him.

   “I called Alex and Alexander to congratulate them on Alexander’s success.”

   "Alex told me that you will have such a reception here."

   "I just happened to be here, and then I came."

"hope I did not disturb you."

  Acquaintances who have a relationship say things differently.

  As soon as he opened his mouth, he used Abel's elders to get closer to Abel.

   Also let people around understand that middle-aged people coming here at this moment do not represent a certain group.

   represents himself and his family.

   And now that he has come to this point, he also has such qualifications, only representing himself and his own family.

   This is something that the families who helped him to the top can't stop it.

   "Hi~ Davis, you are here too!"

   After shaking hands with Abel and letting go, the middle-aged man greeted Davis Brown with a smile.

  Davis Brown responded enthusiastically with a smile.

   Then came David Rockefeller and John Chris Morgan, who also responded enthusiastically.

   "I'm thirsty. If I want to have a drink, I won't bother you." The middle-aged man said with a smile.

   "No problem. I'll go over and talk to you later, dear George."

  The middle-aged man patted his shoulder with satisfaction, said with a smile:

   "Do you still remember Jenna and Barbara? When you were young, you played very well. Remember to contact them when you have time!"

   "Ah" Abel was startled, and immediately said: "Okay~ I also miss Jenna and Barbara a little bit."

   he said politely.

  At the same time, in his memory, he quickly searched for this past memory.

   Well, it was about ten years ago, when the original body was five or six to seven or eight years old.

   At that time, it was the middle-aged man in front of me who launched a call in Texas to build a powerful Rangers baseball team.

  Abel used to go over to Alex a lot, and Alex would take him to the baseball field.

  In baseball diamonds and baseball companies.

  At that time, he was playing with the two middle-aged daughters who were about the same age as the middle-aged man in front of him.

   There are probably three or four such experiences.

  But if you want to say how familiar it is, it's really not.

   It’s just a playmate I played with a few times when I was young.

  At this moment, among the middle-aged population, he said it as if everyone was a childhood sweetheart.

  Abel was a little speechless.

  With the addition of the two sisters, their appearance and figure can only be described as average.

   Not ugly, but far from beautiful.

  Abel just responded politely.

  The middle-aged man seemed to just mention it, smiled and patted Abel on the shoulder, and walked away.

   This scene made many smart people in the reception.

   were surprised again.

   They felt, the number of times they felt surprised this evening.

   Almost matching the amazement they've felt over the past year!

  But the giants around were not surprised by this scene.

  Because of the relationship between the Smith family and the middle-aged family, it is no secret to them.

  They also know that, in fact, the Smith family and the family of the middle-aged man are not as good as the middle-aged man just now.

   Now this middle-aged man is going to be in charge.

  Abel performed so well again, he is still a fellow villager, neighbor, and good family friend.

   No matter which side you stand on, there will be some benefits in wooing Abel.

  Middle-aged people will do this.

  If Abel was ordinary, it is estimated that no matter how good the relationship between the two parties is, the middle-aged man will not appear tonight.

  After the middle-aged man appeared, it was almost half past seven.

   Most of the guests who should come, or were not invited.

  Basically all came.

   When David Mellon finally walked out of the elevator hall with an old man who looked somewhat similar to him, representing the Mellon Consortium.

   Almost all the guests at the reception tonight have arrived.

  The Hilton Golden Hall is more than a thousand square meters and employs more than forty waiters.

   At this time, there was a lot of smoke and noise, and it was as lively as a vegetable market.

  Even in the so-called high society, when everyone gathers to chat and talk.

  It is no different from having a party with ordinary people, or haggling in the vegetable market.

   We are all human beings alike, there is no difference in nature.

   At most, it is the status of the guests, the food they eat, the drinks they drink, and the venue where the party is held. The specifications and quality vary.

   But essentially the same.

   "Hoo~"

   After David Mellon came up, Abel let out a breath.

  He finally got some free time.

  Under the watchful eyes of many people, he came to the side of the Ted Lena father and daughter who were in a corner and almost no one came to strike up a conversation.

   "Hi ~ Ikana." Abel walked over with a smile, and leaned over to give Ikana an intimate kiss.

   Smelling the nice smell of perfume and hormones on her body.

  He smiled and whispered in her ear, saying in a voice that only she could hear:

   "I didn't expect you to be able to get up~ I thought you were going to rest on the yacht!"

  Ikana resisted the urge to slap him.

  Many people are watching.

   Must hold back.

  She rolled her eyes gently and cutely, and responded with the same tone:

   "Just now I saw that you and Peggy Morgenthau were like me. But it wasn't for Amanda Hearst. Could it be that you are also involved with Morgenthau?"

   "Ah" Abel looked at her.

   I didn't expect her to be quite observant.

   Yes, Peggy Morgenthau and Robert came just now.

   And Anne Hearst with her baby girl Amanda Hearst.

  The elders of the two of them, at this time, Biddlerner has a lot more status.

   is also more proactive.

  As soon as he came up, he took his daughter and granddaughter to find Abel.

   Unlike Ted Lena, he actually wanted to talk to Abel.

   But he was held back by his daughter.

  This leads to Abel's different reactions when he met Amanda and Peggy just now.

   Just shaking hands with Amanda, even if she has already made a prelude to kissing the face.

  With Peggy, that is, when Peggy was about to reach out her hand, he took the initiative to lean forward and gave her a face kiss.

   This kind of small action is not big, and many people don't notice it.

   Besides, this is a relatively normal behavior in European and American social etiquette.

   It fell into the eyes of a caring person like Ikana, and she was immediately aware of it.

  Abel smiled and said softly: "Ikana, I think you are very talented as a detective. You can even apply for the New York Police Department."

   "That's right." He smiled and said, "Peggy Morgenthau is actually my girlfriend, believe it or not?"

  Ikana rolled his eyes at him again, looking elegant and charming.

   She was skeptical about Abel's words.

  Because the woman's intuition told her that Abel might have a crush on Peggy.

  Peggy might have too.

   But the two should not have that kind of relationship.

  Because the face-kissing etiquette of two people is a bit rusty.

  If I had that kind of relationship, I wouldn’t feel this strange feeling.

   "Hey ~ Smith." Ted Lener's voice sounded:

   "You can't just talk to my daughter. You're going to make me a laughing stock today!"

  Ted Lena has already noticed the little transparency in the reception, among the more than two hundred guests present.

   At this time, there were at least a hundred people, all looking this way.

  Little transparent Ted Lener feels pressured, but at the same time feels better.

  But if Abel comes over and only talks to his daughter, not to himself.

  He felt that he was going to make a fool of himself.

  With his character, he certainly couldn't accept it.

  He spoke immediately.

   "Ha~ How could I forget you. Mr. Lerner." Abel smiled and shook hands with him.

  But found that this guy, when shaking hands, whispered to himself:

   "Boy, as long as you are a little closer to Ikana tonight and show your relationship. Then I will forgive you for cheating on my daughter!"

   "Ha~" Abel raised his handsome eyebrows, and he also responded in a low voice:

   "Then how do I show it? Just hug her and kiss her? As a father, don't you mind?"

"Forehead"

   Ted Lener didn't expect this kid to be so shameless when he said something like this.

   These two people are completely different from the business elites when they were talking about cooperation two days ago.

"Ok."

   When Ted Lener was a little upset, he heard Abel say with a smile:

"Don't worry. Ikana is my woman and I will not let her be wronged. But today is not the right occasion. Believe me, Mr. Lerner. I will make your daughter one of the happiest women in the world .”

One of    is the happiest woman in the world, and there will be many.

  What can Ted Lener say?

   There are more and more guests with exaggerated identities.

   Ted Lener has already realized that Abel's strength is far more exaggerated than what he showed.

  Just the strength that Abel showed before is beyond the reach of Ted Lena at this time.

   Now Ted Lener finds that this is just the tip of the iceberg.

  What kind of scene will it be under the iceberg?

   Ted Lener can only say sullenly:

   "Well, I hope you keep your word. Then I will allow you to associate with my daughter!"

   "Dad~" Ikana said coquettishly beside her.

   I have to say that her father is sometimes more realistic.

   This character even affected her.

   But no matter how realistic it is, her father still attaches great importance to family affection.

  Apu is really a sweetheart.

Just at this time.

  David Mellon and Melio walked towards Abel.

  Ikana, who was just about to say something, knew that dinner was coming tonight.

  She immediately shut up and watched the conversation between David Mellon and Abel curiously.

  David first greeted Ted Lena and his daughter in a friendly manner.

   Then he said, "Boss, it's almost time."

  Abel nodded: "Then let's start."

  David hesitated for a while, and he said, "I still think it would be better for you to go up in person."

   "I'll go up. But after that. David, like in the capital market, I need you to lead the way for me."

  Abel looked at him with a smile: "Whether it's before, now, or in the future. Do you understand what I mean?"

  David was taken aback, and then a happy smile appeared on his face.

   "I see." David said softly happily.

   This is Abel, revealing to him.

  Even after this, Smith Capital expanded its scale and gained many other shareholders.

   There may be more personnel sent by these shareholders.

   But Abel will also support him, and David Mellon will continue to sit in this position.

   "And Merio." Abel looked at Merio next to him again, and said in the surprised eyes of the latter:

   “I want you to work for me until you retire. Even after you retire, your kids can work for me, that would be great.”

   "Ha~ definitely. Boss, I am willing to follow you forever, oh, and my child. If he is not willing, then I will break his leg!" Merio said excitedly.

  Abel smiled, then patted David on the shoulder.

   "Go, my friend, my partner."

   "Go and tell the crocodiles in the pool how well we have done in the past six months!"
