Amanda Hearst's request, Abel knows that it is very common in this circle.

The children of the rich go to some well-known companies to gild and gain knowledge.

After coming out, you can write on your resume that you have worked in such and such a company.

And the company's senior management often gives this child all kinds of praise.

Similar to this unspoken rule, there are also letters of recommendation that are necessary to enter prestigious universities.

These are all very common operations in this circle.

For example, the reason why the candidate of the Elephant Party was able to enter Yale University is now.

It is because his father is a well-known alumnus of this university.

And wrote him a letter of recommendation, and then the candidate didn't even have to take the test, and became a student at Yale University.

To put it bluntly, it is an exchange of favors and connections.

This is also the reason why the elites of the European and American worlds are from high backgrounds, and each of them looks very exciting.

People who don't know the details, when they see the resumes of these people, will subconsciously think that they are so powerful.

Actually?

It can't be said that it is all embroidered pillows, but most of them are such gilded characters.

If it were replaced by the previous Abel, he would face Amanda Hearst's request.

Abel most likely refused without even thinking about it.

But now, he is also thinking about embracing the social circle.

Create your own social circle.

Then he also attaches a lot more importance to things like connections than before.

Faced with Amanda Hearst's request, he did not directly agree but did not directly refuse.

"Ha~" He smiled and said to Amanda Hearst, "Well, this one." Personally, I agree. ”

"But should I ask Ms. Hearst for her opinion?"

The favor of Amanda Hearst mainly falls on Anne Hearst.

Amanda Hearst is still underage, and he remembers alternate planes.

Until the time of her own crossing, Amanda Hearst was not in power in the Hearst family.

It's useless to give Amanda a favor, what is useful is the mother and family behind her.

Amanda's mother is in front of him, and of course he has to see the other party's opinion.

Amanda's mother's name is Anne Hearst and she is one of the heirs to the Hearst Media Group.

The Hearst Group is one of the world's largest diversified media groups.

It operates 15 daily newspapers, 34 weekly magazines and more than 300 magazines worldwide.

It also covers 18% of U.S. households with 29 local television stations, cable networks such as A+E and ESPN.

In addition, it is involved in commercial publishing, e-commerce, television production, newspaper distribution and real estate.

It is one of the giants in the industry.

The connections of the Hearst family are still relatively valuable.

Amanda Hearst's request, if only the girl's private thoughts.

It wouldn't make much sense to Abel, but if Anne Hearst agreed.

That means that Anne Hirst owes Abel a small favor.

Not to mention other aspects, if Abel needs it in the future, he wants to give it to his descendants or relatives or something.

Looking for an opportunity to work or intern at the Hearst Group, the Hearst family is embarrassed to turn down, right?

What's more, it's just a trifle, just a few days of internship.

There are too many of these things in American universities.

"If it's not troublesome." I don't know when, Anne Hearst has ended the conversation with Murdoch's Chinese wife.

To be honest, Abel doesn't know what Murdoch likes about the other party, it shouldn't be the appearance.

That's probably the ability.

The woman smiled and said, "I agreed to Amanda getting into Mr. Smith's company for an internship. ”

"I think this must be good for this child, because it can give her an understanding of what a real business elite and a financial elite are."

"Ha~" Abel smiled: "In that case, then Miss Hearst." You are welcome to report to Smith Capital during these two days. ”

"Thank you." Amanda Hearst smiled like a girl.

Anne Hearst also nodded to Abel and smiled in thanks.

"Thank you, Mr. Smith."

Abel waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need to be so polite.

Ikana, who was sitting next to him, was ostensibly still talking to John Brown. Lady J. Brown's pleasant exchange.

But my heart is already tightened.

Fortunately, at this time, John Brown on the stage J. Brown's speech has been completed.

Then this guy was actually on stage and began to perform the show.

It's a fire-swallowing stick show.

"Look, ladies and gentlemen. For the sake of the situation where I might have to burn my throat or even burn my lungs. ”

"Please be generous with your donations later!!"

I saw John S. J. Brown, taking a flaming stick from the other person next to him.

Then look up, go down, swallow. Club. Son, that's called a coherence.

In the amazement and shock of the audience, John J. Brown's three times in a row.

Abel was stunned.

This is in . What about acrobatics?

"How? Is it worth it for you to donate a million? I took a big risk. ”

With a stick in his hand that was burning with flames and even emitting black smoke, John Brown was the one who was smashing black smoke. J. Brown exclaimed.

At the same time, Abel heard from John J. J. Brown's wife, whispering to Ikana—

"Ma'am, this also seems too dangerous. How did Mr. Brown! ”

"John practiced this for a month. It's not easy, but it's not as thrilling as it seems, don't worry, Ikana. ”

"Oh oh oh ~ okay."

On stage, John S. After a thrilling performance and a harmonious agitation, J. Brown's vocal appeal began to call for donations.

"Is there any gentleman who is generous enough to donate a million dollars? Please stand up and let everyone have a good look at your greatness!! ”

"Do you hear that? Stand up, it's a million dollars! ”

As soon as his voice fell, almost all of the most important tables stood up.

Including Abel and Murdoch and others, not counting John A. J. Brown himself is already four million dollars.

Applause rang out, and at the same time, at the other tables, people also stood up.

At a glance, there were about seven or eight people.

Then John S. J. Brown shouted again: "Well, you don't want to donate a million." ”

"What about 500,000? Next is half a million dollars, stand up, gentlemen and ladies. ”

One after another, many people stood up again.

This time, it's a lot more than a million dollars.

"Okay. Half a million dollars, it seems to be over. So. Of the 100,000 dollars, what kind gentleman or lady stood up? ”

The applause resumed, and more people stood up.

Abel glanced at it and counted it for tonight.

John S. J. Brown, along with the four media giants, could raise at least $20 million.

In most charity banquets, this number is not small.

Even if there is a charity auction with the blessing of auction items, it is generally only auctioned to this number.

After the donation program ends.

The next step is to eat and drink, and start to be able to move around each other.

In a real sense, the latter half is the real core of tonight's charity banquet.

It is these so-called high society, the most enthusiastic Ball court exchanges.

"Whew~"

John S. J. Brown came down from the stage and sat down in his wife's place.

Passing his wife and Ikana, he smiled and said to Abel:

"It's not easy, I almost worked hard to get so much money."

John S. J. Brown's wife smacked him lightly, and said with a smile:

"That's not the money you get. The money goes to the United Nations Children's Charity Fund, as well as more than a dozen other charitable funds and institutions! ”

"Hahaha~"

John S. J. Brown smiled heartily and smiled at several other media giants:

"Guys, it's your home field next."

Murdoch to John J. Brown raised his glass and smiled: "Thank you for your hard work, John~ Cheers to your adventurous spirit just now!" ”

"Cheers!" John S. J. Brown's direct toast.

"Cheers!!"

Anne Hirst and others also raised their glasses, and everyone drank together.

Then Anne Hirst, Murdoch and the others left the table and went to other places next to them.

As they leave the table, many people also leave their tables to find their own circles.

Circles of as few as two or three people, as many as five or six people, took shape one after another.

Of the more than 20 tables, few of them still sitting, have gone to the couches, bars, and other places next to them.

This is New York's so-called upper-class ball court culture.

At Abel's table, only he and John J. were left at the table. J. Brown.

And each other's female companions.

"Ha~ New Yorkers like that." John S. J. Brown said to Abel:

"But now in Houston and Dallas, that's the case. In contrast, I prefer to go to the farm and grill large pieces of beef!! ”

Abel smiled: "Then when you are free, you are welcome to come to my farm." Tarrant County, First Smith Farm. There are five types of beef cattle, no matter what flavor you prefer. And, of course, lamb and horse meat, and even. Dog meat is also available. ”

Ikana couldn't help but look at Abel, her eyes widening slightly.

Dogs are good friends of humans!!

They're so cute, how can they

But Ikana also knows that in the southern and central regions of the United States.

Even on the East Coast, there are many Americans who like to eat dog meat.

Born in rural Texas, Abel has this habit.

It's also normal.

She comforted herself.

"Of course, of course." John S. J. Brown smiled and said, "Next time I go back to Texas, I must be a guest!" ”

Able smiled back, and he raised his glass and said, "Cheers." ”

"Cheers." John S. J. Brown, too, raised a glass.

His wife and Ikana, smiling beside him, raised their glasses and drank a little each.

Subsequently, John S. J. Brown's face became serious.

He asked softly, "Abel, I wonder when you plan to go back to Texas again?" ”

Abel raised his eyebrows and replied directly, "It may be soon, or it may be a little later." ”

John S. J. Brown nodded, and then he said meaningfully:

"It's better to be quick. Because Mr. Hunter, Mr. McKison, Mr. Elkins, and Mr. Richardson, among others, would love to meet you. ”

"Understood." Abel smiled: "I'll finish solving this matter and I'll go back in a few days." After all, my father needs a little help from me. ”

"Hahaha~"

Seeing how quickly Abel answered, John Abel. J. Brown laughed heartily again.

This guy's laughter is easy to give people a good impression.

I don't know if I have practiced it on purpose, or I have found training from a special grooming trainer or something.

In short, his laughter is easy to give people a sense of déjà vu that this person is a "cheerful person".

"Don't worry." John S. J. Brown said in a vague tone:

"Mr. Smith is probably going to make it. He is in Tarrant County and is very popular. ”

Abel smiled: "If that's the case, it couldn't be better." ”

The two chatted for a while, and then John F. J. Brown's and his wife stood up.

"I'm glad tonight because I met you, dear Abel."

John S. J. Brown laughed and said, "I can't stay here all night, though. ”

"I'm going to go to other friends and talk to them. I think Abel, you should have this kind of need, right? ”

"Of course. Be my guest. ”

After greeting Abel, John W. J. Brown and his wife said goodbye to Ikana, and walked away.

At this table, only Abel and Ikana were left.

"Whew~"

Abel had just exhaled lightly when he saw a smiling Ikana, and suddenly asked:

"Abel, you say, John J. Brown. Is it the J. Browns of the Texas consortium? ”

Abel looked at her, who was probably the reason for the drink just now, and her face was ruddy and very beautiful.

He smiled:

"Or else? John is the General Manager of the New York branch of the Bank of Texas Mercancies. It's this surname again, what do you think? ”

Ikana nodded, her pretty eyes looking at Abel, which seemed to be dotted with starlight.

"Then this Mr. J. Brown, who just now, is obviously inviting you."

"Ha~ So you can see it too?"

Abel was in a happy mood, looking at Ikana, who was wearing a red dress and was unusually beautiful.

He couldn't help but reach out and grab the other party's small hand.

The latter subconsciously twitched, but was unsuccessful.

Abel skipped the topic just now, and did not let go, and immediately continued:

"We can't just sit here all the time, we should be moving around as well."

"Otherwise, tonight will be in vain. It's also a waste of the million I just had. ”

As he spoke, he gently pulled Ikana up.

Hearing him say this, Ikana stopped pulling her hand back.

Instead, let him take his hand, for the other guests' female companions were like that.

At such a banquet, on such an occasion.

Talk to other people, interact with other people, and connect with other people.

For the so-called high society, there is always good.

For many business elites, a lot of business opportunities.

Sometimes it often comes from such a banquet.

For example, cucumbers on Hong Kong Island used to be at a banquet, but I just listened to the ghost guy at the next table say a few more words.

The next day, he bought a building and spent 100 million Hong Kong dollars.

A week later, the building earned him HK$700 million.

It was still the 70s on Hong Kong Island, and HK$700 million was almost equivalent to one-third of his worth at that time.

The business intelligence obtained from a banquet earned one-third of the net worth.

This exaggerated return is of course related to cucumber's keen investment and businessman's sense of smell.

But if there is no platform for social networking in the upper class, it is useless to have such a keen sense of smell.

So although it is said that such social occasions, most of them are useless.

But occasionally some roles, but also can benefit the real business elite a lot.

What's more, even if you don't get any good business information, you can get to know more elites from other walks of life.

It's also very helpful for these celebrities.

This is especially true for social situations with higher ranks.

This is also whether it is the queen of the ball, the king of the ball, or the real business elite.

The reason why they are keen to participate in this kind of banquet occasion.
