Among the elite of the United States.

Marriage is a very common, if not a matter of course.

Like a few months ago, at the banquet of the Hilton family.

Barry Hilton, the second generation of the Hilton family.

He had the idea of introducing his granddaughter Paris to Abel, hoping to reach a marriage.

It's just that Abel wasn't interested at the time, and Paris didn't think so.

The two of them didn't have any interaction, which ruined Barry Hilton's idea.

Even David Mellon,

Although this guy is not married, he has always shouted that he is single.

But Abel knew that David had a fiancée.

David's fiancée was born in a more remote branch of the MG family.

It was a marriage made by each other's fathers when the two were teenagers.

This is also the reason why Abel is not good to turn his face directly with Morgenthor.

The Morgenthau family, backed by MG, can be called deeply entrenched in New York.

Otherwise, why did Kennedy become president and call Robert brothers?

David is 33 years old and has been engaged for more than ten years.

But not married.

Like him, among the American elite, it is the most common type.

David Mellon is now talking to Abel about whether Abel is interested in Amanda Hirst.

In fact, it is hinting at Abel's things in this regard.

The Hearst family is just a media giant in the whole of America.

But the Hearst family has been rooted in Los Angeles and New York for many years, and has a huge influence in both places.

In David's opinion.

If Abel marries the Hearst family, he will get a lot of help in these two places.

Coupled with David's unclear view of the Abel family, things are not very clear in Texas.

David saw Abel again, so fond of Hollywood and media.

Out of the kindness of a friend, and the position of Smith Capital.

David felt that Abel would marry the Hearst family.

It can be said that it is a good win-win choice.

In this way, Abel can take into account the common development of both the financial and media fields.

The Hearst family, in these two aspects, is still very good.

Abel didn't know what David meant at first.

After chatting, he immediately understood David Mellon's intentions.

"Okay. I see what you mean." He looked at David and said,

"Please, Amanda is only 16 years old, 16 years old! Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

What he said was righteous, in exchange for David's disdainful eyes.

And the leisurely sentence: "I remember Miss Anne Hathaway, before I met someone, she was not even seventeen years old."

"Amount"

Abel was speechless.

"Okay. I won't discuss this anymore. Anyway, I don't have that kind of interest in Amanda Hearst for the time being."

"And..." He said to David, "I'm an unmarried, and I don't find it interesting to get married."

"If you don't get married, you can live as happily as you get married. After getting married, you may have an unhappy life. So in my life, I probably won't get married, not necessarily."

David Mellon frowned, "Are you serious?"

In the United States, there are not super-rich people who have not been married in their lifetime.

Or they are married, and they have not remarried since the divorce.

But this kind of person is not in the mainstream among the rich in the United States.

The rich and elite in the United States are still more conservative and more Puritant.

And people in this class attach great importance to marriage.

In this class, the so-called unmarried are pure aliens.

Born in virtue

Abel of Xasus actually understands this.

The Smith family is also an elite family in Texas.

But from the bottom of his heart, he really never thought about getting married in his life.

The world is so big, the world is so beautiful.

There are so many girls and such a good figure.

Why do you have to be tied to a tree?

Americans can tolerate an unmarried man, a playboy with countless girlfriends.

But if this person is married, he still plays like this.

In the mainstream perception of the United States, this kind of person is scum, and even the U.S. government is embarrassed to come out and praise it.

This alone made Abel dismiss the idea of getting married.

unless

Unless he gets tired of playing in the future, or his body is wasted.

It is estimated that there will be the idea of getting married.

It's just that he thinks.

With the virtue of his current body.

Maybe this will not happen in this life.

Then not getting married may be the best choice.

"Don't talk about it. I'm only twenty years old, and you're a thirty-three-year-old fellow."

Abel glanced at David Mellon with disdain.

"Even you, an old fellow, are not married yet, what are I thinking about getting married as a child?"

「！」

David came to a national scold that Americans shouted the most, but he was speechless.

Because Abel is right, Abel is only a little over twenty years old now.

At this age in the United States, even before they are officially adults, they can't drink and buy alcohol openly.

At his age, discuss this with him.

David felt a little overwhelmed.

David thought that maybe he would wait for Abel to be older.

If the mind is more stable, then the thinking will be different.

"Okay. So be it." David Mellon shook his head and said, "Then I'm going out to get the cocktail list ready."

Abel made an OK gesture, and David nodded and turned to leave.

After David was gone.

Abel was alone in the office and he felt a little bored.

He turned on the computer on his desk.

The configuration of the computer is Bensan hard disk, 128M memory, 693 chipset motherboard, 40X optical drive, floppy drive, graphics card).

The monitor is a 1R big ass.

This configuration is now the most mainstream and advanced.

But for Abel, the reborn, it was too backward.

This is also the reason why Abel liked to play games before he was reborn, but he basically didn't touch it much after being reborn.

Mainly computer games at this time, which can be said to be lackluster.

Other than that

Compared to the pre-rebirth otaku period, there was nothing fun to play, only to play with the computer.

After being reborn, he has significantly more things to play.

Compared with those virtual characters in the computer, aren't the supermodels and Hollywood actresses in reality fragrant?

Therefore, since Abel's rebirth, it can be said that he has rarely touched the computers of this period.

Fortunately, the memory is still there.

When he was a child before he was reborn, he also touched a similar big-ass monitor computer.

The interface of the window 98 system back then also belongs to a very deep memory.

This time, I got started again after many years, and there was no time cost to re-learn.

With just a little adaptation, he mastered the most fashionable internet surfing at the moment.

However, for him, the computers of this era, or the Internet of this era, are lackluster.

On the U.S. side, Yahoo is the hottest right now, even if it was the hardest hit in the dot-com bubble.

Next is Microsoft's MSN.

These two portals are the giants of the current American Internet.

Below them, it's the turn of the cutting-edge Google.

This is the choice of the average American when it comes to going online.

As for computer games,

At this time, there were only early versions of Heroes of Invincible, Red Alert and Age of Empires, Warcraft, and the like.

For Abel, who has adapted to all kinds of 2K4K3D beautiful picture quality, he is not even interested in opening up.

In the end, I browsed around hastily, and turned off the computer directly without interest.

Able raised his wrist and looked at the royal oak tree in his hand, showing that the time was already a little past eleven o'clock in the morning.

He simply got up and left the office directly.

Outside the office, he meets Katherine Jones, who is communicating with two other female secretaries.

Speaking of this Catherine Jones, David Mellon once told Abel that she is very capable.

Zeta, the head of the personnel department, also expressed her appreciation for this girl to Abel.

Abel himself was a little noncommittal, even though he was initially very fond of the girl's body and appearance.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Smith."

"Good afternoon, Mr. Smith."

Abel's appearance made the three secretaries who were talking to him hurriedly greet him.

Abel also smiled and replied, "Hello girls."

After saying hello,

He smiled and waved at the three men, turned and walked away.

didn't look so nostalgic for the glamorous Catherine Jones.

This made the latter's face lose his mind for a moment.

"Wow, I always feel like my boss is getting more and more handsome. No wonder there are so many Bichi now, all of them want to be "Smith Girl"!!"

"Who wouldn't want to be?" Another secretary said:

"Become a Smith girl. In addition to being intimate with the boss, you can also gain fame and fortune! Like that Gisele Bundchen, he was just a model before. Now I've heard that all film companies are going to ask her to make a movie!"

"yes. There are also several Hollywood actresses who are good for nothing except for being good-looking. I've heard."

The two female secretaries were excited and wanted to continue gossiping.

"Ahem, ahem"

They heard Catherine Jones coughing softly.

Due to his high academic qualifications, he is more valued by Zeta and David.

It's still Abel, the boss, who was specially approved to enter the company for an interview.

Katherine Jones was a minor leader in the company's secretariat, and she had some authority over these two direct subordinates.

Her reaction immediately shut up the two.

"Talking about the boss in the company. Do you think you're your boss's girlfriend?"

Catherine said, "Work hard, two ladies!"

Leaving these words, Catherine turned away.

Wait until she's gone.

The two average-looking female secretaries began to whisper again.

"What's there to be angry about? Like us, aren't they all just secretaries? At first, I really thought the boss was interested in her!"

"yes. But now it seems that the boss is not very interesting to her. If the boss really wanted to be interesting, he would have done it a long time ago."

"That's right! Hmph~ Bichi one!"

"Be quiet, don't be heard!"

「.」

Abel, who left Smith Capital, didn't know about such a trivial matter in Smith Capital's workplace.

He had already made it through the tarmac of the Smith Building, directly on a helicopter, into Manhattan.

Descending from the top floor of a building in Midtown Manhattan, he went straight to Midtown Manhattan through the building's elevator.

Half an hour later, at about twelve o'clock in the afternoon.

He was again seen outside the Manhattan District Attorney's Office building.

In the last time

He had lunch with LaPierre, CEO of the National Rifle Association, in the dining room.

He met two people.

Robert Morgenthau,

With his beautiful young granddaughter, Peggy Morgenthau.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Smith." Robert, who is in his eighties, has a very gentle and friendly smile.

I couldn't tell at all that he had been annoyed by Abel's lawsuit storm.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Morgenthau, and—"

Abel smiled and shook Robert's hand, then looked at Peggy Morgenthau, who was expressionless and dressed in the uniform of an assistant prosecutor.

「. And Peggy, good afternoon, too."

Peggy nodded to him, "Hello, Mr. Smith."

She didn't seem to mean to shake Abel's hand.

Able shrugged, let go of Robert's hand, and sat down separately.

After taking his seat, Abel spoke before Robert.

"Congratulations, Mr. Morgenthau." Abel smiled and said:

"Obviously, until you're tired of sitting in this position. No one can compete with you for this position."

"Haha~ No, no, it's just that everyone trusts me and thinks I'm fair, so they'll be happy to vote for me." Robert responded with a smile.

The two of them are talking about this year's Manhattan district attorney election.

In a few days, it will be the day of the official general election.

The district attorney election in New York will be held earlier.

In the race for Manhattan District Attorney.

Robert had already received 56% of the votes in the first round of voting.

The other three remaining candidates divided the remaining parts.

This result can basically be said to officially announce Robert's re-election.

From 1975 to now, it has been twenty-five years.

The Manhattan District Attorney almost wrote the name Robert Morgenthau.

This is one of the reasons why Abel chose to reconcile with Morgenthau.

Even if he doesn't reconcile with Robert, Robert is still expected to be selected this time.

Robert's advantage is too great, and his connections and energy in the Manhattan area are too great.

Now that both sides have taken a step back, Morgenthau's side showed slight weakness, and Abel chose to stop.

For the current situation.

For Abel, it is also a more mediocre and helpless choice.

Fortunately, on October 29th.

Peggy Morgenthau made him his girlfriend for a day.

Although she didn't really do anything, she was tired enough.

Her name also appeared in many subsequent media.

Said she was the eleventh Smith girl

Fortunately for New York, the media were relatively silent.

There has been little or no coverage of Peggy Morgenthau.

But on the West Coast, people aren't afraid of you Morgenthau.

People are not even afraid of Rockefeller and MG.

Naturally, it was various reports on Peggy, which made Peggy famous.

She responded with silence.

The response is not as great as that of girls who need fame and exposure.

Gradually, after a few days, it became less eye-catching.

But for Abel, it can be regarded as letting him breathe.

So that he is in the mood to sit with Robert now, eat and talk calmly.

But to be honest, Abel didn't know what to say to Robert.

One is that there have been minor conflicts before.

The second is a judicial and prosecutorial system between the two sides. One is finance, or finance that doesn't require financial asylum.

If it weren't for the previous conflict, the experience of Peggy's one-day girlfriend.

gauze

Bert's invitation this time, Abel may not come today.

Now after the opening remarks, Abel fell silent.

Don't know what to say.

It's really unfamiliar.

On the other side, Peggy was also silent.

Fortunately, Robert is very talkative, the old guy said with a smile.

"Mr. Smith, this time you bought MGM on behalf of Wall Street. A lot of people on our side are happy."

For a long time.

Wall Street is the representative of the East Coast, and Hollywood is the representative of the West Coast.

The two sides have always looked down on each other.

Because of this, Hollywood at that time coincidentally worked together to pit Wall Street.

Wall Street, naturally, is concerned about this.

But because it is unprofitable, the financial capitalists do not bother to take revenge.

It's just that that breath still exists after all.

Abel bought MGM this time as a member of Wall Street.

For some of the older guys who take this aspect seriously, old East Coasters of Robert's age.

It's a more enjoyable thing to boost the momentum of the East Coast.

That's why Robert brought it up as a topic.

"It's nothing. It's just MGM, it's not Viacom, it's not Comcast." Abel disagreed.

Compared to the latter two, MGM is a little guy.

"Uh," Robert thought Abel was a bit of a catchy conversation.

MGM, which has a market value of more than $2 billion, is nothing.

How many other companies in the U.S. are there that belong to "what"?

Fortunately, since Abel has chosen to reconcile with the other party, after the dislike in the early stage.

He still showed some respect for the elderly.

It was Abel's turn to change the topic and talk about some things about Wall Street and Manhattan.

In this regard, Robert of the old East Coast was able to chat with him very smoothly.

A meal, and at the end it took about an hour or so.

Peggy Morgenso never spoke, and Abel, who had been talking to the old man, found it boring.

When he was almost finished, he offered to leave.

Naturally, Robert would not refuse.

It's just that before Abel went out, he handed Abel a note from his pocket.

Abel was stunned, thinking it was a check.

But when I looked closely, I found that it was just a blank piece of paper with some letters written on it.

"This is Morgenthau's reparation for you, sir." Robert smiled.

Abel didn't know what it was.

He looked at Robert, then at Peggy, nodded and smiled.

After taking it, he didn't look at it, smiled and nodded and left.

Robert watched Able leave.

After Abel left, old Morgenso looked at his granddaughter.

"Peggy, what's wrong with you today?" Robert asked, somewhat puzzled.

Although before that, Morgenthau did have some conflicts with Abel.

But it was only a skirmish, and now both sides have reconciled.

There is a high probability that they can be friends in the future, at least that's what Robert thinks.

He felt that he had the pearl in his palm, and there was no need to look like this.

"Is it because of the newspaper report, or what happened that day?"

"Didn't you say that he wasn't rude to you?"

"In that case, it's just a trivial matter."

"Why are you like this today?"
