America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 37 Focus on the audience

   Here comes Charlie Schaff.

  This Merrill Lynch executive was at the banquet hosted by Barron Hilton tonight.

  Belongs to one of the higher-level guests.

  His every move can easily attract other guests at the banquet.

   Most people's attention, including the owner Barron Hilton.

   Besides, Charlie Scharf didn't go alone.

   Behind him, there are four other Wall Street giants.

   For a while, this one was in the golden banquet hall.

  The originally inconspicuous corner suddenly became the place that attracted the most attention from the audience.

  This phenomenon, let's stay with Grandpa Barron Hilton tonight.

  Paris Hilton, who was very happy, suddenly became a little less happy.

the reason is simple.

  Because everyone's attention and eyes were on her.

   Well, it was actually on her grandpa.

  But she has always been by Grandpa's side, and Grandpa is willing to take her with him.

  Paris felt that this was equivalent to herself, attracting so much attention.

   This is one of the greatest honors for a girl like her who was born in a rich family.

  But now, everyone's attention has gone there.

  Especially over there, there is the woman she hates the most in New York.

  The young Miss Paris Hilton felt even more upset.

   It's just her upset mood, which doesn't affect Charlie Schaff.

  After Charlie Scharf came over, the target seemed to be D. Ted Lerner.

  He chatted with D. Ted Lerner with a smile—

   "Dear Ted, you've done a great job this year.

  The audience rating of the Miss Young America contest was 0.9%, and the audience rating of the Miss Universe contest was 1.2%. "

  “Especially the latter, this is an excellent result.

  Even if it is compared with the ratings of Miss World, it is not much worse. "

  Charlie Scharf mentioned Miss Teen America and Miss Universe, which are two beauty pageants jointly organized by D. Ted Lerner and NBC.

   Although they are two beauty pageants, they are actually one and the same.

  The winner of the Miss Young America Contest will be selected first every year.

   Then the champion will represent America,

  Participate in the Miss Universe beauty pageant.

  So the two are actually the same, and the right to host both is also in the hands of D. Ted Lerner.

   He bought it in 1996, but it is not exclusive, but it is jointly owned and co-hosted with NBC, which is the National Broadcasting Corporation of the United States.

  NBC is one of the three major commercial broadcasting and television companies in the United States, and its strength is beyond doubt.

   Otherwise, D. Ted Lerner, a real estate businessman, would not be able to hold this kind of beauty contest that requires the cooperation of TV stations.

  After hearing what Charlie Schaff said, Ted suddenly said:

   "Charlie, your data may be wrong.

   On the night of the final of the Miss Young America Contest, the ratings have already exceeded 1.2%.

  Miss Universe Contest final night, more than 9 million viewers! "

   "Compared to 0.6% and 5 million people watching in 1995, it has increased by more than 50%. Especially the latter, the increase is close to 100%."

   "So I can say, I'm not doing very well. I'm doing very, very, very well!"

  After talking about these data,

  D. Ted Lerner proudly compared the two thumbs, it looked like he was giving a speech, and said with a smile:

   "No one knows beauty pageants better than me! Only I can bring Miss Universe back to life!"

  Charlie Scharf: "Uh"

  The chief financial officer of Merrill Lynch, the reason why he mentioned beauty pageants was just to find a topic to intervene in.

  For this kind of annual profit, it will not exceed 50 million US dollars, and the risk is extremely high, and it is very cumbersome.

  He's not interested.

   Just when Charlie Scharf was left speechless by D. Ted Lerner's "I Get It."

   Lehman's CFO, Mr. Bryn Bulley, has come over.

  CFO is the abbreviation of Chief Financial Officer, this position is very important in financial companies.

   Sometimes the power is even greater than the CEO.

   Bryn Bulley, like Charlie Scharf, is the CFO of their respective banks.

  Compared to Charlie Schaff who talked to D. Ted Lerner first after coming over.

  Bryn Bulley is obviously much more direct.

  This Lehman executive does not care about D. Ted Lerner, who is hated by the New York rich circle.

  He smiled directly at David Mellon who was standing with Abel:

   "Dear David.

   If my guess is correct, the person next to him must be Mr. Abel Smith? "

  Charlie Shaf next to him couldn't help but widen his eyes when he saw him being so direct.

   Obviously I came first!

  Charlie Scharf glanced helplessly at D. Ted Lerner.

  The latter was very interested and wanted to continue discussing with him about the Miss Universe pageant.

  David Mellon laughed and said softly:

   "Yes, this is my boss."

  Abel stretched out his hand at the right time and said with a smile, "Abel Smith, Smith Capital."

   "Hi, Mr. Smith. I'm Bryn Bulley from Lehman" Bryn Bulley smiled happily.

  Charlie Schaaf thick-skinned what's the use of coming first?

   After all, he is not really the thickest-skinned, so he foolishly went to talk to D. Ted Lerner first.

   New Yorkers, who doesn't know D. Ted Lerner.

  Young and unreliable, Bryn Bulley thought.

   But he looked at the younger Abel and David Mellon, hesitating to overthrow this idea.

   Some people are very young, but he really seems to be reliable.

at this time,

  Sally Winston, President, PNC Financial Services Group,

   Citibank President John Reed, Citibank Senior Vice President William Rhodes also came to the front.

  Like Bryn Bulley, these three didn't care about D. Ted Lerner after they came here.

   Unlike Charlie Scharf, they just greeted Abel and David and introduced themselves.

  Abel's response is the same as that of Bryn Bulley.

  Smile and say hello, then introduce yourself.

   Abel, who felt that the time was right, was already willing to contact these Wall Street giants.

  These Wall Street giants finally had the opportunity to contact him, and they were all very proactive.

   Both parties can say that they are in love with each other, and they have a close heart to each other.

  Once contacted and started chatting, everything went smoothly afterwards.

   Within a few minutes, these guys with extremely high IQs understood what Abel meant.

That is.

  Before it had been very cold, turning a blind eye to many Wall Street hints.

   Even Smith Capital, who treated each other coldly.

   I have the meaning of letting go.

   This made these giant crocodiles who just wanted to come here to get close and get acquainted with each other, all of them felt the joy of unexpected gains.

  The host of the banquet tonight who was originally elsewhere and has always been admired by the stars.

  The second-generation ruler of the Hilton family, Barron Hilton is considered one of the most outstanding second-generation rich men.

  The old man was also smiling, and walked towards this side with his granddaughter and several other people.

   36-37 is harmonious, I don’t even know how to change it, and I can’t release it after a major change, and it takes two days to continue to apply for review, which is painful.

   It should be about Ah Dang and his daughter. Others can write about it, but I can’t because I’m probably reported. I will revise the outline later to reduce their appearance.

   Because 36-37 was banned, posting an extra chapter today is considered compensation
