America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 106 Ikana's Crisis (110 begging to subscribe)
David Mellon didn't think it was necessary, mainly because of the cost.

Getting any of the firms on the Vault leaderboard to act is expensive.

Let so many families act together, not to mention the cost.

But from Abel's point of view, he felt that it was necessary to do so.

Costly?

It's really expensive.

For the cost of the whole process, it is estimated that I can buy one or two more villas in Long Island.

But he felt the need.

There are two reasons.

One is that he wants to vent his anger.

After more than ten months of rebirth, wealth and freedom.

It can be said that he didn't get angry at all, and enjoyed all kinds of freedom.

The enjoyment during this time has already cultivated a kind of spirit in him.

Robert Morgenthau and those people behind him did this to him, and he will not pay back.

He couldn't swallow it.

Even in fact, due to some scruples and he has almost nothing wrong with him.

What Robert and the others did didn't actually hurt him at all.

He was just as angry.

It can only be said that people's ambition and temper have always followed the environment in which they live.

And the resources you own are constantly changing.

The current Abel is no longer the one who has just been reborn and is careful about everything he does.

The second reason is that he believes that doing so can also be a kind of deterrence in a sense.

Who to deter?
Robert Morgenthau, and those behind him.

All the while, Abel in New York.They all acted harmless to humans and animals, and looked like they were benevolent.

Never had a hard time with people, and never showed aggression.

Except on the capital battlefield.

Over time, people may have the idea that his character is weak.

This time, Abel didn't intend to just let it go.

He planned to spend tens of millions of dollars.

It must also be made clear that Abel Smith was an impulsive young man.

It is very likely that under impulse, you will do some irrational things that waste and burn money.

Although this is done, there may be no way to avoid the coveting of some people and certain forces.

But at least it can make them somewhat scruples.

Even just a trace is enough.

This is what Abel can think of. Currently, under the restrictions of the rules, it is the best and most harmful counterattack method for Robert.

In the rules, facing his counterattack.

Anyway, Abel couldn't think of Robert Morgenthau, there would be any way to counter him.

Knowing that value for money is also a rule in the capitalist world.

There are reasons why these law firms and lawyers are so expensive.

Either they are extremely capable, or they have someone behind them like Caroline.

These people took money, even if they were just pretending, they had to target Robert.

And the better you do it, the more money you can receive.

In this way, even if some of them have a good relationship with Robert.

For the sake of money, he must have put in some effort to make Robert flustered.

Abel felt that this was within the rules of the game.

The best way to fight back against the Manhattan District Attorney.

Mainly because now, there is no staff group, think tank or the like around him.

If no one gives him advice, he does it himself.

And a 20-year-old fine arts graduate of a prestigious university in Texas, plus a 30-year-old Chinese Internet writer.

The fusion of these two overlapping souls, he has only experienced the life of a capitalist for ten months.

The resources at hand that can be thought of and can be used.

That's all, that's all he can do.

These are things that David Mellon doesn't understand, and Abel doesn't want to explain.

Seeing his insistence, David Mellon quickly skipped this topic.

"Okay. As long as you like it. In short, Robert Morgenthau may be very embarrassed this time, and he will hate us in the future." David shrugged and said.

"I didn't ask them to love." Abel said indifferently.

Within the rules, he really wasn't afraid of Robert messing around.

Was his background with the Rifle Association bogus when he was in Texas?
If you really want to mess around, it's also Robert, a Yankee guy, who is afraid of Dixie like him messing around.

"Okay." David said so, then he stood up and said while talking: "Hey, you said it last time. You will often participate in social activities in the future."

"In the past half a month, many people have sent many invitations."

David went to the cupboard in his office and opened a beautiful drawer.

I took out a thick stack of things from it, and it seemed that there were more than 20 sheets.

All kinds of beautiful invitations and invitations.

"In fact, I have already selected these. They are valuable and worthy of the invitation of those you will participate in."

David put these things on the table in front of Abel.

"There are actually more, at least 200.

But I think that the value is not big, or the meaning is not big, and I have put it in the secretariat.

You can also find Catherine Jones if you want to see it. "

Catherine Jones was the beautiful girl who had a successful interview last time and officially joined Smith Capital.

After a few days of internship, she was recommended by Zeta to work in the company's secretariat.

The secretariat of Smith Capital is mainly responsible for the company's external contact and public relations.

This is because Smith Capital currently does not have any operational and management jobs.

"Well done, how can I see so much? I don't think there are too many of these."

Abel stood up and picked out an invitation at random.

When I opened it, I found that it was a New York congressman.

The other party invited Abel to attend the congressman's own birthday dinner invitation.

Abel felt that he didn't know the other party, and there was no need to invite him to the other party's birthday dinner.

But here is Lao Mei, Lao Mei has bought a new pet, and she can invite her neighbors over to have a party together.

A birthday dinner is a good excuse to hold a party openly and expand your social circle.

If possible, these political creatures, like Hope and Celestial People, can have two birthdays a year.

"David Luke, the name is the same as yours. I remember he is a donkey gang? A congressman from Brooklyn?" Abel asked uncertainly.

There are really too many people named David in the United States.

As much as John, Jack, Robert, etc.

"Your memory is correct, that's it." David said: "But he will run again this year, and the constituency has been assigned to Manhattan.

If he succeeds, he'll be one of Manhattan's congressmen. "

"Not interested. I'm an elephant party, so I won't go to the donkey party's banquet." Abel shook his head.

David shrugged, "Come on. Don't I know you yet?

Elephants and donkeys have nothing to do with you.You're just an Abel Smith party. "

Abel laughed, "As expected, you still understand me, David, you are really my good partner."

While speaking, he took out another invitation letter.

I opened it and saw that the person who invited him was John J.Bai Lang is the general manager of the New York branch of Texas Commercial Bank.

"A bank in Texas, a person from Texas." David saw him scrutinizing the invitation letter and explained:
"You are also a Texan. I think you should be interested in this invitation."

Holding the invitation letter, Abel nodded, "I'm really interested. Let me see that the time is just tonight."

"Well, let's take part in this."

"Understood." David Mellon said: "However, this is a charity banquet, and it is required to bring a female companion.

Who are you taking there? D. Ted Lerner's daughter?
And the other party didn't invite me, so I won't go tonight. "

"Hey, you reminded me." Abel said with a smile, "Then I'll take her there. It's a date, see if I can find a chance to win her."

Seeing Abel's playful smile, David Mellon shook his head.

Then David got serious and said, "Abel, D Ikana Lerner is different from other women.

She has great self-control, ambition and endurance. "

"I don't think you are suitable to provoke her, because your character and your hobbies are what she hates the most."

"If you really want to be a celebrity, I think Paris Hilton is better."

"Oh?" Abel wondered why David thought so. "Let's not talk about my hobbies and personality that you mentioned."

Abel said: "As far as I know, Barry Hilton is far more authoritative than D. Ted Lerner, right? Why can he provoke Paris but not Ikana?"

David shook his head, "This has nothing to do with Barry Hilton and D. Ted Lerner."

"Paris is just a spoiled rich girl who doesn't understand anything and is easy to deceive. At most she has some cleverness."

Abel complained: "It seems that you can be deceived."

"Ahem—don't change the subject," said the single David.

"Ikana's entrepreneurship is somewhat watery. But her IQ and ambition, these are not watery."

"You have always abandoned Paris, and at most she will cry and scold you in the media."

"If you give up on Ikana all the time, then she may bring you really big trouble."

Faced with David's evaluation, I thought about the future experience of Paris and Ikana in parallel time and space.

Abel felt that David Mellon had a point in what he said.

He was concerned about himself, so Abel said, "Your suggestion makes sense. But the more you do this, the less I like Paris."

"Paris isn't pretty, is she out of shape?" David was curious.

Paris, who is only 19 years old this year, has not yet started her wandering career.

With youth and rich family education, his appearance and figure are considered good.

With the addition of Doikana at this time, the magic that has not yet been in time becomes more attractive.

At this time, let a normal man choose Paris and Ikana, the result is really hard to say.

Of course.

If Abel didn't show up.

In two or three years, Paris will start to fail.

Ikana has started her most attractive period.

If you choose at that time, no one will choose Paris.

"No, it's not a question of beauty. It's a question of challenge. Paris makes me feel that there is nothing worth challenging."

"Ikana does."

Abel said, "So tonight, I'm going to invite Ikana. Unless she says no."

David rolled his eyes, "It's up to you. In short, I have given you my advice. If you fall into the pit in the future, then I will not pull you. I will just stand on the edge of the pit and laugh at you loudly !"

"Ha ha!"

Abel gave David a middle finger, "Let's go, I'm going to prepare for my date at night."

David returned the same international gesture, shook his head and ignored him.

Six p.m,

As night falls, the lights are on.

Brilliant lights illuminate the entire Manhattan beautifully.

The bright neon lights everywhere make this place look like a paradise in the steel jungle.

A black custom-made Lincoln limousine, under the explicit and covert escort of several other vehicles.

Driving on the somewhat congested streets of Manhattan.

Even if it costs as much as $30, it will still be stuck in traffic.

In the spacious rear compartment like a bar counter.

Abe lolled in a black suit, next to Ikana in a gorgeous evening gown.

"That's the bad thing about Manhattan. When the time comes, the traffic jam is the traffic jam. It doesn't matter if you're rich or not, it's fair."

"Who says it's not? If there were no such traffic jams, Manhattan at night would be more beautiful."

The two exchanged in low voices, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

"By the way." Abel said suddenly: "I saw a report in the "New York Times" yesterday, which said that "MISS Ikana" had encountered some troubles, and the capital chain was in danger. Ikana, it's true ?"

Reporting on the "Miss Ikana" clothing brand, the reporter who encountered a crisis was named Thomas.

New York's unofficial history said that the senior New York Times reporter had a feud with D. Ted Lerner.

The reason is because Thomas divorced five years ago.

It was because Thomas' wife had joined D. Ted Lerner's real estate group at that time.

Also, D. Ted Lerner's secretary.

In addition, Thomas' wife is a beautiful blond [big. wave] wavy, a standard big ocean horse.

After that, the famous reporter.

It is said that he especially loves to report bad news about D. Ted Lerner, his company, and even his family members.

Ikana heard Abel mention the incident.

She was startled, and smiled wryly, looking elegant and beautiful.

"Abel, maybe you have heard of the grievances between Thomas Jones and my father."

"If you've heard of it. Presumably you should think that it's only natural for him to make such a report."

"Hahaha~" Abel laughed, "I only read it in the tabloids, and Mr. D. Ted Lerner seems to have done something to apologize to this reporter."

"No. But what the truth is, I don't know."

Ikana probably didn't want to mention it, it was her father's scandal.

"but."

Ikana changed the subject and said softly: "Thomas is not talking all nonsense.

My company has indeed encountered some problems in terms of capital chain. "

Ha~ finally admitted.

thought Abel.

On the surface, he said: "I would like to hear the details."

Ikana paused, as if considering her words.

Then he said: "It's mainly my father's problem.

"He had some loan troubles, so he diverted funds from my side. This is what caused YKM's current situation."

In fact, the real situation is similar to what she said, but it is far less relaxed than what Ikana said.

The real situation is that D. Ted Lerner discovered that the second financing of MISS Ikana seems to be impossible to deceive.

On the other side of the real estate group, there is an urgent need for funds to repay the loan.

Without other sources of funds, he had no choice but to withdraw his investment in Miss Ikana.

D. Ted Lerner felt that the MISS Ikana fell and fell.

In the future, when I have money, I can buy another one for my daughter.

If he goes bankrupt again, it won't help that MISS Ikana survives.

Which is more important, D. Ted Lerner made it very clear.

Then only Ikana would be unlucky.

Originally, the second round of financing was not smooth, and now even the most important core assets, the most important properties supporting the market value of MISS Ikana, have to be withdrawn.

MISS Ikana can be said to be experiencing the biggest crisis since its establishment.

Abel actually knew all these things.

Because of D. Ted Lerner's enemy, the reporter Thomas.

It was clearly written in yesterday's New York Times report.

In the news, Thomas said that he followed MISS Ikana for three years.

I have a clear understanding of the situation of this clothing brand, and the article even exaggerates Ikana's experience in establishing this brand from scratch.

Some may be true and some may be false.

But Thomas finally concluded that YKM was a scam by D. Ted Lerner and his daughter.

The scam is now going bankrupt, and Thomas gloats in the article.

It is estimated that Ikana also knows that Abel has already had a deep understanding of MISS Ikana after reading yesterday's report.

After saying the above words, which somewhat shifted the responsibility to her father, she said again:
"It's just a crisis, the situation is not as dangerous as Thomas said.

Even if my father withdraws all the funds, the market value of MISS Ikana will be more than [-] million US dollars. "

Abel nodded with a smile, and suddenly asked, "So, does MISS Ikana welcome new investors?"

Ikana's beautiful big eyes lit up, and she was a little confused.

On the last date, she hinted at it a few times.

Abel has never been interested in MISS Ikana.

Unexpectedly, she didn't hint much today.

He ended up saying so himself.

Ikana was tempted to say right away, of course she was welcome.

It's just that she thinks that this kind of thing should be reserved, otherwise if Abel waits to bargain, she will be short of breath.

She considered her tone and was about to speak.

But at this moment, the convoy, which had been stuck in traffic for half an hour, happened to turn around a street.

After entering here, the traffic flow is not so dense and there is no congestion.

Outside the streets, there are New York police officers maintaining traffic order.

Behind these policemen, there are quite a few reporters gathered together.

The reporters were all filming the scene at the entrance of a hotel not far away.

John J．The hotel where Bai Lang held the charity banquet arrived.
