Hilton Midtown, Manhattan, Golden Ballroom.

Somewhere in the banquet hall,

A white man about forty years old, with a wine glass in his hand, his lips nunctured to the corner where D. Ted Lerner was.

"Look, look over there. The wolf of Wall Street is coming. ”

The speaker was surrounded by four people, all of whom were over forty years old.

Two of them are gray-haired old white men.

"Ha~ It's the first time I've heard that he participated in such a banquet."

One of them, a gray-haired white man about sixty years old, said with a smile:

"What did he like about Barron Hilton? Or is he interested in Hilton? ”

"That's not clear. Barron Hilton controlled Hilton very well, and it was difficult for outsiders to break through the defenses he had set up. Even if someone is interested in Hilton, it will be difficult to succeed. ”

"That's just as well. By the way, William, won't you go over and talk to him? The opportunity is rare, and it will not be easy to see him again next time. ”

William Rhodes, whose name was named, was also an old white man with gray hair.

The two men who spoke were the two oldest of the five.

William Rhodes shook his head slightly, nodded slightly, and looked at the man who said this:

"John, if you think I should go over and talk to him. Then I'll go, if not, I won't go. ”

Hearing William Rhodes say this, John Reed frowned slightly:

"William, if you say that, it will make people think that I am a dictator at Citi.

But I'm not, and if I were a dictator, I wouldn't resign next month. ”

"Of course I didn't mean that.

But at least until next month, dear John, you're the president of Citi.

I'm just a senior executive, and it's more effective for you to engage with him than I am. William Rhodes said without yin or yang.

John Reed was a little angry, and he looked at the other three people next to him who were watching the show.

John Reed said angrily, "Don't tell me, you don't want to go over and talk to him." ”

"Hahaha~ Of course not, we actually want to go over and contact him."

The first to speak, the middle-aged white man, who was also the youngest of the five people present, said with a smile:

"It's just that this gentleman has a very strange temper, and we think it's better to wait and see."

"Blinken? What do you think? ”

Bryn Boulley, who was named by the youngest middle-aged white man, is the CFO of Lehman Brothers Investment Bank.

Bryn Boowe chuckled and shook his head, responding to Charlie Scharf, the youngest in the room:

"That's what I think. The rest of Wall Street thinks the same way. But people outside of Wall Street, they don't think so. ”

"Look, Lerner and his daughter, they're having a good time dancing with the wolf. ”

Hearing Bryn Bullley say this, all the Wall Street giants looked in that direction.

They also really did see that Mr. D. Ted Lerner, a very famous man in New York, with his daughter.

Over there, I had a great time chatting with the people who were in the spotlight here.

At this time,

Charlie Schaff, the youngest who was the first to speak, suddenly said:

"I decided. I'm going to go over and talk to Lerner about a line of credit he owes Merrill Lynch that's due next month. I want to know, when will he repay the loan. ”

After all that, the youngest guy among the Wall Street presidents.

He shook his glass of wine and walked that way.

Bryn Bouli looked at his back and couldn't help but curse in a low voice-

“SHIT！！ Who doesn't know that there is no bank in New York that is not indebted by D. Ted Lerner! ”

Then the CFO of Lehman Brothers also picked up a glass of red wine and walked over without saying a word.

Of the remaining three,

Citi's John Reed and William Rhodes,

They looked at Shary Vinston, the president of PNC's financial services group, who had not spoken among the five.

Shari Vinston shrugged at the two Citibank giants, and without saying a word, followed.

When the three of them walked a little farther, William Rhodes couldn't help but say:

"A little Dixie, a few times successful, does it need to be taken so seriously?"

"It's Dixie Jr., but it's really worth taking seriously. Let's go, William, and let's go too. John Reed shook his head.

John Reid, who is stepping down as president of Citigroup, also followed.

One of the most promising executives, Citigroup's William Rhodes, will only have to keep up.

The other side.

“... Hello, I'm D. Ikanna Lerner. ”

"I'm Abel Smith, Miss Lerner, good evening."

“.....”

Abel, who is introducing each other to D. Ted Lerner's daughter.

I didn't know that I was noticed by a few Wall Street giants who happened to be attending today's banquet.

At this time, he looked at the daughter of Lerner in front of him.

This Miss Ikana, about the same age as Paris Hilton over there.

Under 20 years old and over 18 years old.

Compared with the slightly more delicate Paris, the D. Ikana Lerner in front of her looks more dignified.

The figure is obviously much better than Ikana, and the headlights of such a young car are already very impressive.

D. Ikanna Lerner can be said to be very famous in the celebrity circle of New York.

This is a typical "other people's child", even for the children of the rich, and is also a role model for many wealthy parents when educating their own children.

It is said that at the age of thirteen, she entered the MIT Business School by virtue of her own ability.

At the age of fifteen, he left MIT to go to graduate school at the Wharton School.

Sixteen years old, out to work.

Everyone thought she would go to work for her father's company.

Who would have thought that D. Ikana Lerner went to the modeling circle, joined the elite modeling agency in the United States, and became a model.

At that time, her actions were a bit unconventional in the New York celebrity circle and were criticized by many people.

Many people said in a weird way - "worthy of being the daughter of D. Ted Lerner!" ”

But D. Ikana Lerner only stayed in the modeling industry for a year, and at the age of seventeen, she came out and started her own clothing brand.

In just two years, D. Ikanna Lerner's clothing brand "Miss Ikana" has opened more than 50 chain stores in the United States.

Not long ago, Goldman Sachs was valued at $1.1 billion in market value, and D. Ikanna Lerner, who was less than 20 years old, became one of the youngest richest people with a net worth of more than $1 billion.

She started her own business and had experience from a young age.

It immediately became a favorite example for parents in the rich circle of New York, and even the entire rich circle of the United States, when educating their children.

The typical American plutocratic version of "someone else's child".

Although like her father, she was able to have her current career because she relied on her father.

But remember that D. Ikana Lerner is only nineteen years old now.

Also nineteen years old, Paris Hilton will only stay by her doting grandfather at the age of nineteen.

Other rich ladies and young masters are still driving sports cars, clubbing, or other entertainment activities.

D. Ikana Lerner is nineteen years old, but she is already the founder and chairman of a $1.1 billion clothing brand company.

The difference is still relatively stark.

The key appearance and figure are not bad at all, and they are really a clear stream in the rich gold circle of New York.

Contrary to her father.

Her father was a turbid current in New York's wealthy circles.

For the sake of her appearance and figure, Abel is also willing to chat with him more.

It's just that someone wants to talk to him more, such as-

A hearty-sounding voice interjected.

"Oh, dear Ted, I'm so glad to see you!"

Charlie Schaff is here.
