America's No. 1 financial conglomerate

Chapter 628 Wenger's Approval

Ernst has moved back to his mansion in Central Park, New York.

He had no choice but to move; the two stray cats were constantly fighting each other, and he was getting a headache.

"She seems to have really changed." He glanced in the direction of the living room, raised an eyebrow, and a playful smile curved Wenger's lips.

Picking up his coffee, he looked at Ernst with amusement. "Speaking of which, this 'blessing' you have isn't so easy to enjoy, is it?"

Ernst gripped his cigar tightly and said viciously, "Sooner or later I'll have them both on my bed at the same time."

Massim left, but Anne stayed, ostensibly for business coordination.

The consensus has been reached on that piece of wasteland in Everett; an East Coast Las Vegas would undoubtedly be a fatal attraction for the Boston consortium.

To his surprise, it turned out that Annie was in charge of this matter.

This naive and innocent girl has lost her innocence, and Ernst is indeed interested in her current changes.

Just because a partner meets his criteria doesn't mean there won't be any trouble.

First and foremost, he needs to let his women know that he's not like Bill Gates, keeping a mistress in secret with some kind of gentleman's agreement.

You can be the mistress of the Garfield family if you want, but you have to accept everything about me.

This includes his playboy image and the people around him.

Although Ernst was indulging her, allowing those women to be overly intimate in front of Anne, it was to prepare her mentally.

What she didn't expect was that Connery and the others knew to restrain themselves when facing Anne, at most shouting louder to assert their status.

But the way Italians do things seems to be quite different from Americans.

He appeared in full battle gear, sitting in the living room, almost ready to go to war with Ernst. The sounds he made were definitely louder than usual; anyone who didn't know better would think it was a movie set.

Anne didn't hold back. She shed the shyness she used to have when she heard or saw these things and immediately ran away, and directly declared war.

You have Zhang Liangji, I have a wall ladder.

Her ladder over the wall was for connecting the project with Everett City.

Moreover, it's unclear how her work schedule is arranged; whenever Monica Bellucci gets herself into trouble, she'll show up.

Ernst almost lost his temper last night because of her sudden outburst.

I was planning to catch up on my lessons this morning, and with the bullets already loaded, the enemy broke in again.

They didn't say anything, just stood by the bed watching. If you're so capable, then go ahead and continue.

Monica Bellucci was so angry that she threw off the covers, wanting Ernst to see clearly, but Ernst was reluctant.

It felt like I was having sex with an Italian woman, with a live translator standing next to me.

There was no other way but to move back first and separate the two of them.

When Wenger heard Ernst's statement, he was visibly taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter. "Only you would dare to think that you could have all the Kennedy women share one husband."

"However," he glanced at the restaurant again, and said thoughtfully, "I'm at least satisfied with her current appearance."

After saying that, she added with some emotion, "I really didn't expect that such a big change could happen in such a short time. It's as if she has become a completely different person. If I hadn't seen her in person, I really wouldn't have believed it."

Ernst seemed quite calm about this, accepting the other party's change: "Children from large families, no matter how well protected, are exposed to many things from a young age."

He leaned back on the sofa and said slowly, "If she wants to change, the resources she can access are beyond what ordinary people can imagine."

So-called social experience is essentially nothing more than having experienced and been exposed to more things, and naturally understanding them as a result.

For ordinary people to gain a deep understanding of an industry and become familiar with a field, it often takes three to five years, or even eight to ten years, to explore and accumulate experience.

Most of that time is wasted on climbing the corporate ladder and making ends meet.

But for a heiress like Kennedy, time is never an issue.

Three months is enough for her to figure out the backstabbing and scheming in the industry, and then calmly move into a new field to learn and evolve again.

After a moment of silence, Ernst also turned his gaze towards the restaurant. Turning back, he looked at Wenger and said solemnly, "Let's take another look and wait a bit longer."

He understood what Wenger meant when he said he was satisfied.

This signifies that Wenger has acknowledged her, or rather, her abilities and the skill she is currently displaying.

Through this incident, Ernst truly felt his own inadequacy, or rather, the gap between these newly rich and the old money families with centuries of heritage.

In terms of information acquisition channels and the accumulation of personal connections, there is still a considerable gap compared to those established forces.

If he could marry Anne, he could indirectly gain access to the connections and resources of the entire Kennedy family and even the Boston conglomerate through Anne, which would undoubtedly be a qualitative leap for the Garfield family.

This is similar to the family tailor hired by the household office for him; both are manifestations of upward mobility in social class.

Nowadays, he doesn't need to flaunt his wealth through custom-made clothing, watches, or jewelry.

However, these things can be used to demonstrate a family's status.

Good tailors are never something you can hire just by spending money.

Even the British nobility would be directly refused if they wanted a top tailor like Alessandro.

It's not that those families can't afford the hiring fees, but rather that in the eyes of these top tailors, not all families deserve their craftsmanship and added value.

What is the most expensive fabric?

Peruvian llamas wool is one type, and a single piece of cloth can cost tens of thousands of dollars.

The global annual production of this fabric is less than one ton. Half of it is supplied to major luxury brands around the world, and the vast majority of the remaining sales channels are in the hands of these top tailors.

There's also the Yun brocade of China, which has always been said to be worth its weight in gold.

Then there's Queen Victoria's tussah silk, made from the golden silk spun by amber silkworms that feed only on the leaves of specific wild oak trees in India.

And these are things that only the wealthy can access; there are also things that ordinary wealthy people can't buy even if they have money, or that they've never even heard of.

For example, items woven from golden spider silk only exist in museums.

But thinking about it, it's obvious that this is meant for the general public, because although this thing is rare, it is produced every year, and you can't just send it all to a museum.

Just as good fabric can enhance the quality of clothing, a good tailor can also increase the value of the fabric.

The merchants who controlled the supply of these fabrics were shrewd; they outsourced a portion to top tailors, who then created rare and exquisite pieces.

They then use their work to inflate prices, selling another portion to luxury brands.

Sophistication is what matters.

The fact that your clothes are made of the same fabric as the Queen of England is enough to make those newly rich people open their wallets.

Therefore, Alessandro was not just a tailor, but a tailor who could elevate the entire Garfield family's quality and elevate the family to a higher level.

Similarly, the marriage alliance with the Kennedy family was also a result.

He can crush his opponent in terms of wealth, but in terms of connections, he needs the opponent's help.

Otherwise, no matter how much wealth you have, they won't easily include you in their circle.

In these old-money circles, lineage, heritage, and connections are paramount.

"As long as you know what you're doing," Wenger said without trying to persuade him further, and instead brought up the issue of restoring Judah.

"This is a risky move for you. If you don't handle it well, you could end up in a situation where you can't get out of control."

Ernst simply smiled faintly. "Wasn't this what we were waiting for when we took Epstein in?"
