America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 535 Italian Seed Project Achieved

  Long Island has always been the back garden of the rich in New York.

  In the urban land where every inch of land is precious, and the skyline is constantly being refreshed, you can own a luxurious manor surrounded by lush forests, breathe the smell of soil every day, and listen to the sound of dew falling from the leaves. Such a leisurely "slow life" is undoubtedly a luxury.

  A luxury that only the rich can enjoy.

Seeing that Abel's attention was all on herself, Keira nodded in satisfaction, "The address has been chosen, let's hold it at No. 227 Swan Wharf in Great Neck, it's big enough and beautiful. By the way, My dear, why are there so many donkeys and elephants in the invitation list for the reception you prepared this time? Didn’t you declare to the public that this is mainly a gathering of the financial industry? There are so many people from both parties, it may make the banquet changing in nature."

  Kayla admires her boyfriend very much for his methods and means of manipulating politics.

  This time Abel took the initiative to provoke troubles, which not only made him jump out of the original elephant party framework, but now it has become a situation where both sides are trying to win over.

   Both sides are now avoiding him leaning towards the other side.

   It can be said that in this regard, my boyfriend maximized his own interests this time.

  For Kayla Wilson, who was born in a consortium in California, she is more admirable than Aber who made 10 billion US dollars at a time.

   This is mainly because the California consortium is too weak in this regard.

   Occupying such a good piece of land in California, the energy and military industries are terribly strong. As a result, the influence on the local area is not even comparable to the local donkeys and elephants...

  There are so many consortiums in the United States. In terms of local control, the California consortium ranks second from the bottom, so no one can grab the bottom one.

   It seems that Zhengzhi is born to be the weakness of the California consortium.

  Now Abel has shown talent in this area again, and he is almost invincible in business.

   How can this not make the California princess even more popular.

   "It's okay, although it used to be bad. But now it's okay. Now they are all begging me. Hey, according to the previous newspaper, I am now one of the best expressions of American cooking and seed oil."

  Abel shook his head and smiled noncommittally:

   "Besides, most of the invited guests are from the financial industry. Except for the end of last year, I haven't held a reception in New York in my own name until now. Little Laura is not here, so you can only help me host it."

   "As I said, don't mention her in front of me." Keira said angrily.

  Abel looked at Keira, who gave him a blank look, with the curvature of her mouth, and knew that she was very happy and grateful for it. This undoubtedly represented that the relationship between her and himself had entered a new stage.

   A stable phase.

  Kayla was naturally very happy and excited about this. This was the first time for her to host such a high-level reception and dinner as the hostess. It was still in New York, or Wall Street, and there were donkeys and elephants participating!

  She felt that if she was in California, even if she got her wish to replace her father, she would probably not be able to hold a banquet of this level.

  Wall Street does not bird the California consortium, and the California consortium is not valued by donkeys and elephants.

  In the United States, the California consortium often has little to say. They are powerful and rich, but their voices have always been small.

  In this respect, it is even inferior to Florida, which does not raise idlers...

  In comparison, people who are similar to California in many ways, but actually weaker than California, have a terrible voice in the United States.

  The last time I was in Washington, attending a banquet with Abel, Kayla felt that she had given herself the limelight in the media, especially in the California circle.

  She felt that this time was better, as the hostess, she was even more powerful than last time!

  Of course, this reception is also very important to Abel.

  He invited not only his Wall Street friends, but also important personnel from Donkey and Elephant, in order to take this opportunity to ease the impact of the turmoil he caused at the end of last month.

  Even if he is the leader, he has to make it clear to the donkey and the elephant that his position will not change at will.

  In order not to intensify conflicts with donkeys and elephants, let them deal with themselves.

  Even if this possibility is very low, it is always necessary to take precautions.

  …

  …

   Keira is indeed similar to Ikana, a fighter among women, with a strong career and ambition.

  She was tossed very hard for two consecutive nights, but she still struggled to get up on the second day and had to go to work.

   "I'm the general manager. If even I, the general manager of Wells Fargo Bank, took the lead in asking for leave, what would it be like?"

   This is how she told Abel.

  Abel thought to himself that you are not a manager, at most you are just a regional president.

   But Kayla is very persistent, even if her eyelids are fighting, she must go to work.

  Abel wanted to pull her to have another breakfast, but was rejected, saying that he would make up for him when he came back at night.

   After breakfast, Abel came to Smith Tower after sending Keira to work.

  In the office.

Abel quickly browsed through the briefings sent by various companies. There was a stack of today’s newspapers on the desk at hand. The top one was the financial section. Influence".

   This undoubtedly makes Canadians seem a little dumbfounded. A large number of people have recently begun to worry about queuing up to withdraw money and buy things.

   And these situations were analyzed by Abel and his subordinates a long time ago, so naturally they will not be surprised. Instead, it was a piece of news from the European entertainment edition, which made Abel quite concerned.

  The marriage of the Italian national treasure goddess Monica Bellucci and the French talent Vincent Cassel is on the red light. A reporter took pictures of the two arguing.

  In fact, since the two separated in the past two years, there has been constant speculation about the relationship between the two.

  He picked it up and looked at it, but there were no details in the newspaper.

  But Abel knew that it was most likely related to himself.

  The taste of Italian national treasure goddess is very good.

  That time in the garden, Monica "played" so well with herself.

  At that time, I had a bad taste in letting her talk to her husband, and I deliberately made my voice so loud.

  As long as Vincent Cassel was a man with a normal IQ, he would feel somewhat unusual at that time.

  Abel remembered that it seemed that Monica had promised her husband that she would help get the role.

  At that time, Vincent Cassel probably considered this, so he pretended not to know.

   Now why did this Frenchman quarrel with his wife, an Italian national treasure goddess?

  Thinking of this, Abel was a little curious, and asked David to come in to find Monica's contact information, and then called her.

   But there is no connection, it seems to be busy. David later confirmed that Monica Bellucci was filming with several European actresses in Europe at this time.

  The fashion documentary that Abel made for them has already started shooting this month, that is, in September.

  She and Sophie are all busy.

  Since this is the case, Abel put aside his curiosity a little and started his work.

  As there are more and more companies owned by Abel, he now spends more time reading briefings every day. Sometimes, when he sees some content in the briefing, he even directly picks up the phone to inquire about the parties involved.

This management mode has freed up his own time to a large extent, but now it still takes about four or five hours a day to complete the processing, usually two hours in the morning, two hours in the afternoon, and occasionally look at it in the evening, which has become the norm .

  Of course, it is incomparable with workaholics like Cook of Apple who wake up at 4:30 in the morning to read briefings and work 100 hours a week like CEOs of General Electric.

  “The scariest thing in this world is that people who are richer than you work harder than you!”

   Well, this is true, but in Abel’s view, busyness cannot be equated with hard work or hard work. Being busy must be based on a strategic vision and a platform, otherwise it can only be "poor and busy" and fall into the vicious cycle of getting busier and poorer-the poorer and busier.

  In this, the platform can be said to be very important.

  Old Ma said that he works 16 hours a day in the company, sometimes more than 20 hours.

   Sounds very hardworking, even more terrifying than 996. But have you ever thought that the old horse doesn't have to work as hard as you when he works in the company.

  When people are tired, they can directly rest in the extremely luxurious private office, and let the masseurs come directly to the SPA to relax their bodies.

   It is said that it is 20 hours a day to work, and the real work may be at most four or five hours.

  Similarly, the crazy working hours of other successful people boasted by the media contain water to some extent.

  Abel is not making excuses for only doing things for 4 or 5 hours a day.

  He feels that he has a pair of eyes that can see through the future, strategy is his greatest reliance, and doing everything by himself will become a nightmare instead.

  A successful person also needs to have one thing, that is, self-knowledge.

  If you don’t know it, like after 2021, the boss of a domestic car brand will put his daughter in charge and produce a lot of cars.

  As a result, the sales volume of this brand fell from the top three in China, to the seventh or eighth in two years...

  This is the performance of no self-knowledge.

   Whether Abel is busy or not is a matter of opinion. Some would say that he wasn't busy at all, because the only thing he did all day was read briefings. What's more, he thinks that he spends most of his time with women...

  Well, if you have to say that, Abel has no choice but to say with a sneer: "I don't need to stay up late to become the richest man in the world. No matter how hard you stay up late, you will only get dark circles under your eyes."

   Abel, who was not busy, sorted out the briefing, opened the drawer and put it away, then shook the mouse with his hand, picked up the phone and prepared to hold a video conference call, and continued to pay attention to his shorting of the Canadian dollar.

  At this time, the cell phone he used to call Monica Bellucci just now rang.

  Abel picked it up and saw that it was a number from Europe, which was Monica's phone number.

   You must be busy, right?

  He thought, and answered the call from the Italian national treasure goddess.

   "Ciao, dear Monica, you finally called me back? I was a little anxious waiting." Abel responded with a smile.

   "ciao" is the most common way of saying "hi" or "hello" in Italian.

   But sometimes "ciao" can also be translated as "goodbye", depending on the context of speaking.

  Abel does not speak Italian, but there is a simple way of saying hello in the languages ​​of major European countries.

  For example, the French "Bungy Pig", the German "Guterntack" and so on, he has specially learned.

   This is one of the suggestions given to him by his advisory group.

  When interacting with Europeans, occasional greetings like this can reduce the psychological defense of the other party, which is a small detail in the psychology of the business environment.

  "You can't use "ciao" when you call to greet, you should say "pronto". But it is your Italian teacher's job to correct your Italian speech. What can I do, Mr. Smith?"

  In the microphone of the mobile phone, Monica's somewhat resentful voice came.

   "It's actually nothing, I just want to care about you. The main reason is that I saw the news of your quarrel with Vincent Cassel in today's newspaper. I am a little worried about you, so I called to ask."

   "Hehehe..." Monica Bellucci's sneer came from the other side, and then her voice continued to be somewhat resentful:

   "Why did I quarrel with Vincent? As for the reason, Mr. Smith, you should be somewhat self-aware, right?"

   "Okay, okay." Abel smiled, after all, he played with others, he said with a smile:

   "It's all my fault. I asked just now and said that I already had a good role and gave it to your husband. Why is he still arguing with you?"

   Abel was curious about this. Vincent Cassel probably knew about himself and his wife.

  For the role and acting career, this Frenchman can bear it for so long.

   It doesn't make sense. You just got the role now, so you can't bear it?

  The movie hasn’t been filmed yet, but the role can be canceled at any time.

   "Hoo..."

  Abel heard Monica take a deep breath.

   "Mr. Smith, do you really want to know why?"

   "If you are willing to say it, then I want to know. If you are not willing to say it, then it doesn't matter if I don't know."

  This is Abel’s sincere words, he just had a gossip mental episode, plus looking at the beautiful photos of Monica Bellucci in the newspaper pictures.

  He misses the perfect body of the Italian national treasure goddess.

  So the main purpose of making the call just now was to get her to come to the United States and come to New York.

   After all, in New York, he only has Keira and the Hurst sisters now, and he is a bit confused.

  Monica, who is overflowing with femininity, became a member of the "fire fighting team" he planned to get for himself.

  As for filming or something, you can ask for leave or postpone it. It is very easy for him, the big boss, to nod.

   "Well, since you want to know. Let me tell you."

  Abel heard her relieved look in her voice.

   "The reason why Vincent quarreled with me was not because...it wasn't because I did that kind of thing with you!"

  Hearing what she said, Abel became even more curious. Even this kind of thing can be tolerated, and the role has been obtained, so why does Vincent Cassel quarrel with his wife?

   "The reason why he quarreled with me was because I was pregnant! And the child is not his yet!"

  Oh, this is the reason. His wife is pregnant, and the child is not his own. No wonder Vincent Cassel was so angry that he quarreled with her.

  Compared with the former, the latter is indeed more intolerable for men.

  Wait, Monica is pregnant?

   "The child's father is..." Abel thought of a possibility.

   "Who else could it be? Dear Mr. Smith, since you took me... your female bodyguard has been by my side all the time! I can't fool around with other men at all!"

  The voice from Monica Bellucci became even more bitter.
