America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 444 Different people have the same plan

  "...Slade Wilson did not comment. He did not expressly express my inquiry, but he did not deny the possibility of cooperation between him and Abel Smith."

at the same time.

  When Abel rushed to No. 26 Garden Road, Hong Kong Island.

  John Chris Morgan just got out of the car.

  The head of the Morgan family appeared in Rockefeller's new Kikwit Manor.

  The old Kikwit Manor, located in Upstate New York, covers an area of ​​more than 400 acres and is very beautiful. It contains a large number of artworks and antiques collected by Rockefeller and his son.

  Decades ago, the Rockefeller family gave it to the government of the United States as a museum park.

  But the property rights are still in the hands of the Rockefeller family. The U.S. government only has the right to use it, and must also ensure its integrity and safety.

   Still have to pay for maintenance and repairs...

   In other words, Rockefeller saved tens of millions of dollars a year, but the old Kikwit estate was still theirs.

  The members of Rockefeller moved to the new manor, also in upstate New York, not far from the old Kikwit manor.

  The name of New Manor is still Kikwet, but it is no longer made public, and its name is not even on the map.

  A true hideaway, the current enclave of the Rockefeller family.

  In the new Kikwit Manor, in a beautiful little garden.

  The contemporary head of the Morgan family said softly to David Rockefeller:

"It's obvious. Even if Slade Wilson didn't agree, this guy obviously has such an idea. Maybe even Abel Smith, under his instigation, stood up and made such a request. After all... Slade Wilson was the first guy in nearly 30 years to ask for it. Abel Smith was only the second."

  David Rockefeller did not immediately respond to John Cleese.

   Anyway, the head of the Rockefeller family, he is really old.

  Full of experience, wisdom has also accumulated over time, and it has become sufficient to handle most things.

   This is the gift of time to David.

   But time also took away David's physical functions.

  The degeneration of the brain and thinking of the elderly is unavoidable for the human body.

  David, who is in his eighties, has nothing but experience and enough experience.

  In terms of responsiveness and reaction speed, he is already inferior to most young people.

   In terms of coping, David needs more time to respond to the outside world.

"No, John. Even if he didn't think so. But now Abe Smith has launched a challenge. As long as Slade Wilson still has this kind of thought, then he will not let go of this opportunity. Anyway, he is not needed this time He is safer compared to charging ahead. How could he let it go?"

  David Rockefeller responded to the head of Morgan in a fairly orderly manner after more than a minute.

  After speaking, don't wait for John to speak.

  It seems to be to make myself look less sluggish.

  The head of Rockefeller continued:

   "I also contacted Bai Lang's group through my channel...the feedback was not very friendly."

David looked at John with cloudy eyes, "This group of guys, they have very deep expectations of Abel Smith now. They are eager for this young man to provide them with strong financial help, even far beyond them Profits in traditional areas."

   "Hoo—"

John sighed, "Honestly, don't talk about them. If possible, I really want this guy to make money for me. Look at the gambling agreement between him and those people. It's still a profit of 400 billion US dollars in a few years. David , we all know that it is very difficult even for us.”

  "The young man is courageous, relatively intelligent, and extremely talented."

   "Signing such a gambling agreement is crazy, but it is barely understandable." David Rockefeller said.

"but…"

  The head of the Rockefeller family changed his subject, but his expression remained calm:

  "The young male lion has started to challenge the Lion King Alliance. Before defeating him and making him realize the gap. The male lion will not be willing to bow to the Lion King Alliance, he will only think about replacing it."

   "You mean..." John looked at David.

   "We have to beat him once." The head of Rockefeller said.

"Everything he has now is almost entirely based on the financial field that he has never failed. If someone can make this young man suffer a big loss in this regard. For him, it is no less than Napoleon's Waterloo. "

  John nodded.

   This, in fact, the vast majority of American elites know.

  Why do those Texans trust Abe Smith so much?

   Because he is also a Texan, because he is the son-in-law of the Bush family?

  Neither, just because he, a Texan, has created undefeated results and earned amazing profits in a field that Texans have never been good at.

  Those traditional rednecks actually have this ability when they see their fellow villagers.

   Being forced by the old giants in the east, they are forced to form a group of very united Texans.

  After seeing him, they thought they had found a weapon against the financial invasion of the eastern giants.

  After the trial, even this "weapon" has a strong, self-consciousness.

  Texans still chose him.

  Because it is compared to being slowly invaded by the eastern giants.

  Compatibility and their more matching Texas weapons, at most they just want to be their leader.

   Unlike here, if they can’t keep it, then their Texas will become the second DuPont, the second Citigroup...

   What those old Texans couldn't tolerate was this ending.

  So they embraced Abe Smith, gave him a very strong support.

   This is a decision based on reality, but at the same time there are sufficient historical factors.

  It's true for the Texans, and it's pretty much the same for the Oilers.

  Oilers have always been masters at playing the money game since ancient times.

  If you let them play freely, even Morgan and Rockefeller may not be able to play with these Oilers.

  Ansas are really not very good at finance and lending.

  They are more like the style of the ancient Vikings, but they just happened to hitch a ride in the Age of Discovery.

  Oilers are best at long betting.

  Even the moustache that removed the most oil back then. During his rise to power, he also had the support of a large amount of oilman capital.

  Now these oilmen, in the Texas kid, see a strong potential and development future.

   Same option as the Texans, but for a different purpose.

  Part of the Oilers, with the support of the Oilers, also chose to take refuge in the Texas boy.

   In addition, there are traditional Midwesterners in the Midwest who also need a barrier, or a weapon to resist the invasion of the East.

  These three forces are currently the young Texas boy, the biggest three support.

   It is also the reason why he has such a high position in the United States, is so young, and has such great influence.

   But David and John both know.

  All of this is based on Abel's financial talent and his achievements in the financial field.

  Once you fail in this field, even just once.

  Then his indestructible golden body will also be destroyed.

   These three major forces may still support him.

  The strength of support, and Abel's own words within them, must be seriously weakened.

   "He has now established a large amount of yen foreign exchange positions, as well as international spot gold contracts."

  After thinking about it, John Chris said softly:

   "If we want to defeat him, at least once. At present, it seems that it can only be done in these two fields."

   "Choose the yen." David Rockefeller said directly.

  In the two battlefields, as long as you are not a fool, as long as you have a certain strategic vision.

   would choose the yen over gold.

  Because most bankers and investors can see it.

  After the new century, gold may still have short-term fluctuations and declines in the future.

   But in the long run, it's bound to keep going up.

  Because, including the United States, in the first two years of the 21st century, most countries began to inject a lot of water into their currencies.

  In addition to another war, oil began to fluctuate endlessly.

  These situations all say "good for gold".

  If Abel chooses to hold gold futures for a long time.

  It would be difficult to snipe him in terms of gold.

   Unless a new gold mine is discovered on the earth, this new mine will directly increase the reserves of gold, a precious metal, by an order of magnitude.

   "It seems that at present, this is indeed the only way to go."

  John Chris Morgan also made a decision.

  When these two are synchronized, the world's largest financial machine, which may not even have one, begins to rotate slowly.

  Coincidentally, not only upstate New York, but two people from New Kikwit Manor were discussing Abel Smith.

  Across a continent and an ocean.

  A small island in the south of Asia.

  The specific address is Xiangjiang Island, No. 79, Deep Water Bay Road, South District.

  Here, someone is also discussing Abel Smith, they are father and son.

   "Daddy..."

   Cucumber’s youngest son, Li Kai, looked at the elegant and calm old father in front of him. He had just lost his temper with his father not long ago, and said:

   "I tried my best, but Huo Yu and Huo Wen didn't disclose it. In other words, what they disclosed was no different from what Huo Yiguan announced to the public. It was Huo Yiguan who went to that ghost and didn't talk about anything."

  After hearing what the younger son said, Cucumber nodded slightly and looked at the elder son.

  The youngest son who is more like me in terms of doing things, and the ability is also the most like me, but he is escaping in doing things and has a personality that I don't like.

  Ability is mediocre, but his personality is very similar to his eldest son, and he is even more loved by Cucumber.

   Facing his father's gaze, Li Ju shook his head slightly:

   "What I found was similar to my brother... Daddy, maybe that's the truth."

   Cucumber frowned. Being cunning by nature, he didn't believe Huo Yiguan. Yesterday morning, he stayed in Lu Yu Tea House for almost an hour, but in the end he only talked about the opinions of the north.

  If this is the case, then he feels that Huo Yiguan is too unlike a businessman.

   "Old Officer Huo has a very strict tone this time, no one can tell."

   Cucumber finally spoke.

"I can't find anything, and I can't blame you. But I called you back this time, especially Akai. I called you back from Po County because I want to take you to a banquet at 26 Garden Road tonight. .I hope you will not let me down."

   Facing his father's words, Li Ju nodded calmly and gently.

  Li Kai said: "Ha - I want to see after tonight. How can Zheng Chun, a street boy, still show off...the mother boy, just attended a London banquet, and he has been showing off for almost a year!"

  The Li family is from Chaozhou, and they occasionally speak Chaozhou dialect internally.

  Seeing his younger son like this, Cucumber shook his head helplessly.

  Just when I was about to say something to make Li Kai pay more attention at night.

   Cucumber heard the younger son say again:

   "By the way, Daddy. In fact, I have nothing to do with the richest man in the world."

   "Huh?" Cucumber looked at his youngest son.

   "In 1999, Daddy, you called me. You asked me to help a fellow from Chaozhou, inject capital into his son's company, do you still remember?"

  Hearing what the younger son said, Cucumber thought for a while.

  Although he is old, he is well maintained, and he may be really talented in this area, so I immediately remembered it.

   Indeed there is such a thing.

  At the turn of the new century, Cucumber wanted to negotiate a piece of land in Pengcheng in the north.

  The location of this piece of land is very good, and many people on Hong Kong Island are vying for it.

   But in the end it was snatched by Cucumber.

  In the process of contention.

  A Chaozhou native who works in Pengcheng and can barely be regarded as a fellow of Cucumber, gave him a lot of help.

   Cucumber is a smart person, and he often contacts him in reciprocation, which can be regarded as a good relationship.

  The company of the fellow son behind encountered difficulties in operation and needed financial help.

   Thinking about repaying the favor, Cucumber asked his youngest son to invest a sum of money in the other son's company.

   It seems to be more than 10 million Hong Kong dollars.

   "Yes, I remember. It seems that the surname is Ma, what should I say?" After thinking about it, Cucumber asked softly.

   "Yes. The surname is Ma." Li Kai said with a smile: "At that time, I invested 16 million Hong Kong dollars, which was worth about 2.2 million U.S. dollars."

  “Last year, because I was going to engage in electric technology and wanted to get back the funds, I started selling the shares. At that time, there were two buyers, one was a South African and the other was an American.”

   "You sold to the Americans? The Americans are related to Abel Smith?" Cucumber asked sharply immediately.

   "Daddy is amazing, he guessed it all at once."

  Li Kai said proudly: "I earned more than five times! It was 2.2 million U.S. dollars and sold for 13 million U.S. dollars! At that time, the South Africans bid 12.6 million U.S. dollars, and the Americans were a little more generous and bid 13 million U.S. dollars."

"Although the company that bought my shares is registered in the inland, it is the inland branch of Smith Capital, registered in Modu. So I said, in fact, I have some overlap with the richest man in the world. I Earned him more than 10 million dollars!"

  Earning more than 10 million US dollars as the world's richest man, Li Kai didn't feel it before, but now he mentions it in front of his father, he is quite proud.

   After listening to my son for two years, I made more than 5 times the profit.

  For some reason, Cucumber didn't feel happy or proud.

   It is about investment, the world's richest man who has always been invincible.

  Even if the price of the son is sold at a high price, he earns more than 10 million US dollars.

  For some reason, Cucumber felt as if he had lost something on his side.

   "Tell me about Smith Capital. I'm talking about the branch in the mainland. Does anyone know more about it?"

   Cucumber faced the two sons and asked his own questions.

   Li Ju shook his head, expressing that he was not very clear about this.

  An American company, just a branch in the Mainland.

  The key is that when it was first established, Abel was far from being as famous as he is now.

  So the establishment of Huaxia Smith Capital, no matter in the United States or in Asia, there is no movement.

  Besides, it has been very low-key, and has never seen any big movements.

   Cucumber and Li Ju didn't pay attention, which is naturally normal.

   They probably wouldn't even know there was such a branch if it wasn't for Abel.

   "I know, Daddy, I know!" Li Kai raised his voice and said, "Because I want to sell stocks to them, I have more or less known about it!"

   Cucumber can’t say how disappointed he is with his eldest son, because he has always been disappointed with Li Ju.

   It’s just that the eldest son’s personality is like his own, and Cucumber’s eldest son who believes in Confucianism will inherit.

  So even if Li Ju is a little less capable than his younger brother, he is still regarded by Cucumber as his first heir.

   "Tell me." Cucumber said calmly.

   "This branch of Smith Capital was actually established the year before last. The managers are two women, one is an inland student studying in the United States, and the other is an American girl."

   "Since its establishment at the end of the previous year, this company has been keeping a low profile. In the mainland, it mainly plays angel investment and venture capital."

"I had someone check it out, and found that most of its investments are Internet companies that have just been established in the Mainland. As far as I know, there is the Penguin company from Chaozhou, and the well-known Wangyi Company, etc. .”

   "Specific investment list, Daddy, if you need it, I can make a list for you, but I need to ask my secretary to prepare it."

   Cucumber frowned, "Only angel investment and venture capital?"

   This is the investment he hates the most.

   Cucumber has always liked companies that have been listed, or have sufficient fixed assets, or have sufficient cash flow.

  Those new forces and new companies with unknown future prospects but seemingly good potential.

  Cucumbers have always been disliked.

   In this regard, he is imitating Buffett, the stock god, even the direction of investment is very similar.

  Buffett has always disliked new forces, especially the Internet.

   "Make a list for me and send it right away."

   But Cucumber still considers Abel Smith's invincibility all the time.

   Cucumber is going to take a look.

"OK."

  In the evening, before going to the banquet at No. 26 Garden Road.

   Cucumbers are in the compartment.

   Received the investment list of Huaxia Smith Capital for more than a year from his son's secretary.

   On the list, Cucumber saw a bunch of companies whose names he hadn't even seen.

  Such as Souhu.com, Eighteen Thieves, Xinglang, Penguin, the son of a Chaozhou fellow he knew, and Wangyi, which he had heard of.

   At a glance, most of them are new power companies related to the Internet and IT.

  In addition to the investment list, there are also photos of the two female leaders of Huaxia Smith Capital.

  Looking at the photo, there are two obviously good-looking women.

   Frowning, Cucumber just crumpled the document paper and threw it aside.

  Originally, the habit of businessmen broke out, and Cucumber wanted to follow Smith Capital and invest in these companies.

  But he found out that they are all companies of this kind, and the person in charge of the company is still after the two beauties.

   Cucumber feels that there is a high probability that this investment list will not be written by the richest man in the world.

  He felt that this might be the handwriting of the two women in charge.

   And these two women in charge are most likely to be playful Yankees, mistresses in China.

  Then this investment list is worthless.

   Just like that, Cucumber didn't know what he missed.

  He took his two sons and set off for No. 26 Garden Road, which was extremely congested today.
