The enthusiastic call ended quickly.

At this time, if there are other people around the two sides of the call.

I must not feel that these two people have a conflict before.

I just feel like they've always been good friends and have a good relationship.

This is the so-called upper layer.

For the sake of profit or something, conflicts and alliances are often only fleeting.

Robert Morgenthau invited Abel to attend a cocktail party at Morgenthau's estate tomorrow night.

After a little groaning, Abel agreed to the other party's invitation.

Abel remembers not long ago when Herbert was a middleman.

He once said that Morgenthau was one of the branches of MG.

He also said that both MG and Rockfaeller were interested in themselves.

Those who are familiar with the family behind Herbert know that his family has a deep relationship with Rockefeller.

Herbert's grandfather was one of the generals under the original Rockphil.

Herbert was able to move his family to Texas and develop, and it was also with the help of Torocphil.

This is probably one of the reasons why he is rooted in Texas and is recognized by the entire Elephant Party.

Abel felt.

Maybe tomorrow night, at Morgenthau's drinking party.

You can meet Rockfeller or MG people yourself.

Putting down the phone, Abel pondered as he quickly ate the food in front of him.

After the food is eaten.

His thoughts cleared.

For possible temptations or invitations.

He felt that he should not refuse, nor could he fully accept it.

First of all, he has to consider the attitude of the Texas consortium.

If he could, Abel felt that he would be a middleman and a wall grass between the two big consortia, or even more consortia.

With your own state and ability, you may be able to get more.

It's the degree in between, which is very difficult to master.

Abel didn't think he could master it, and he might not have such a big ability.

But this kind of sideways jumping, if you can master it.

The development time and resources that can be obtained are also very considerable.

Like the rabbit in the 60s and 80s, it is a typical master of sideways jumping.

At that time, between the Soviet Union and the United States, the greatest benefits were obtained, and there was no need to completely take refuge in one of the two.

In the end, while jumping, he became the giant of the new century.

This kind of "wall grass", if you can jump into it.

Abel felt that his dream of forming a "group" alone could not be realized.

Thinking like this made him even more determined to think about it.

Next

The entire New York metropolitan area is enveloped in a world of thick white ice and snow.

Last night's snowstorm affected more than the entire New York area.

The northeastern part of the United States has enjoyed the caress of General Winter.

Today's newspapers and media reports also have a lot of reports about last night's blizzard.

In this icy and snowy place.

Abel didn't even have the desire to go out.

He spent a whole day in Issa's Garden on Long Island.

During the period, I also had a day with top supermodels.

After yesterday and a night, there is still a day of getting along.

The relationship between the supermodel and him is finally much more harmonious.

It doesn't look like business anymore like it used to.

At least now, everyone can talk and laugh.

It's the wild wolf-eyed Lima, who is a little unsociable.

A bit of frolicking and playing.

Until this evening.

Abel was reluctant to say goodbye to the four figures,

Appearance, physical strength and professionalism are the top supermodels in the industry.

Surrounded by his own team, he slowly left No. 1 Huangdian 13th Road in New York in the ice and snow world.

The target is on the same Long Island, but at the Morgenthau Estate on the Southampton side of Long Island.

As an old money on the East Coast.

Morgenthau's home is in New York and Manhattan, and of course there are houses.

But their main home is not in the city.

These old money, they all like to put the main house on Long Island.

As in the case of the great Gatsby, in the past, the top rich people did not live in New York and Manhattan.

Because for a long time, New York and Manhattan were industrial hubs on the East Coast.

The pollution is very serious, and the sanitation of the city is very bad.

Ordinary people live here, rich people work here, but they don't live here.

With the great improvement of sanitation and the great development of the city.

The situation is much better.

Let the rich people return to live in Manhattan one after another.

But naturally, they won't give up their main home on Long Island.

Anyway there are a lot of houses.

You can live wherever you want, and you can do whatever you are comfortable with.

This is a migrant worker who has been saddled with a mortgage for 30 years, and there is nothing else to do.

At about half past six in the evening, Abel's motorcade arrived at its destination.

Located at 33 London Road in Southampton, the Morgenthau family is known as the Waterfront Manor, which is a common European castle-style building on Long Island, and was built in 1900.

The earliest owner of this mansion was not Morgenthau, but the original MG

The Morgenthau mansion covers 300,000 square feet, with the main building alone measuring 18,000 square feet.

This ancient mansion has an invincible view of the sea, occupies a very advantageous location, and in the past, except for the army, a small group of bandits would never be able to capture the guarded ancient mansion.

The main building has three floors, and the whole house is like a stone castle, exuding the style of Western classical feudal aristocracy.

There is a large round pavilion on the left and a meadow in front of it, which is exquisitely laid out.

There are also two-storey workers' dormitories, and the underground is the garage, and the mansion is surrounded by tall plants on all sides, like a fortress, solemn and noble.

Above the main entrance to the mansion, Able also saw the words written in Latin: ".

This is what it means to "wealth is not once."

It is said that it is also the family emblem created by the first generation of Morganthau for his family.

European and American families with a little inheritance like to engage in this.

Forehead. Looks like the Smiths don't.

Abel doesn't remember Alex or Alexander, who said something similar to himself.

Since it hasn't been said, it should be nothing.

Abel was now standing outside the mansion and looking at these "façades" with interest.

& has such a façade.

In Manhattan, there is such power.

The real influence in this country can be imagined.

"Ha~Abel, good evening."

Just as Abel decided to go in, a calm and gentle voice came from behind him.

He looked back and saw Bloomberg smiling behind him.

"It's magnificent, it's classical, it's beautiful." Bloomberg pointed to the Morgenthau House, and he smiled and said, "It's exactly 100 years old this year. It's like the history of the Morgenthaus."

Abel nodded at him, and then said, "Compared to these old houses, I still like new buildings, new architectural styles~"

"Amount"

"Okay." Bloomberg smiled, "An era has an era. Everybody has their own aesthetic, and you're right."

The two of them stood for a few minutes, and then new guests came one after another.

Naturally, they would not stay still, and the two of them, led by the servants of the Morgenthau family, walked in.

Since it was the Morgenthau family's drinking party, of course, there would be people from the Morgenthau family to greet them.

After entering the interior of the classical mansion, inside the warm heating coverage.

Abel saw Peggy Morgenthau standing at the door of a huge hall.

There were also two middle-aged men standing in front of her, and a teenage girl who was younger than her.

Abel, who walked with Bloomberg, heard Bloomberg greet two middle-aged men warmly after walking over.

"Good evening, Mr. Morgenthau."

"Good evening, Mr. Bloomberg."

The four members of the Morgenthau family also smiled and saluted Bloomberg, and then shook hands.

It was Abel's turn, and he didn't know the other three, just staring at Peggy Morgenthau.

The latter was a little unbearable by his staring, and said:

"Father, this is Mr. Abel Smith, and it's clear you've heard of him."

Abel also smiled at the right time: "Hello, I'm Abel Smith."

"Oh~ Of course, of course. The wolf of Wall Street, who on Wall Street doesn't know?" One of the middle-aged and elderly men immediately smiled and spoke:

"Hello, Mr. Smith. I'm George Morgenthau, Peggy Morgenthau's father, and Robert Morgenthau is my father."

"Hello, Mr. Morgenthau." Abel shook hands with him.

Then there was another middle-aged and elderly white man, who also introduced himself with a smile:

"Hello, Mr. Smith. I'm John Morgenthau, George is my brother, and Robert is my father."

Abel also smiled and shook hands with him.

Finally, it was Peggy Morgenthau's turn next to the younger-looking girl.

"Anna Morgenthau." The girl smiled, "Peggy's cousin, my father just shook your hand. Hello, Mr. Smith."

Able shook her hand, too, but he felt as if Anna was exerting some strength.

By the time he could react, Anna had already stopped.

Then another guest came, and Bloomberg walked forward.

Able knew that this was not the time to talk to Peggy Morgenthau.

So he and Bloomberg went inside.

and his own servants in the house to guide them.

Later, after the Morgenthau family welcomed another wave of guests.

There was a short break.

During this brief period of hollowness, Peggy Morgenthau heard her cousin whisper in her ear:

"My dear cousin. That Abel Smith himself looks even more handsome than the TV news. Are you sure that the news you are on is really just a scandal?"

Peggy Morgenso glanced helplessly at her cousin, who was a little deviant in the family.

Fortunately, before Peggy could speak, Anna's biological father, John, had already reprimanded:

"Anna. Your grandfather has already said that Peggy is just acting in a play with the other side. Your curiosity is misplaced!"

"Oh~" Anna Morgenthau pouted unhappily, but didn't dare to say back.

George Morgenthau, who was next to him, smiled at this time.

"Alright. It doesn't have to be like this, Anna is such a character. She's not malicious, and she has the best relationship with Peggy at home."

Anna nodded hurriedly, "Uncle is right! I'm just concerned about my cousin! You know, when Catherine and they were talking nonsense, I almost went up and beat them!"

Catherine is the granddaughter of Peggy and Anna's grandfather, and is a cousin of the two.

Robert Morgenthau had three brothers, and the three brothers had their own offspring.

Of these offspring, Robert's two sons were the worst mixed.

So much so that now I come to the door to greet me

Guest's acquaintance.

The daughters of the two brothers are the two most beautiful in the fourth generation.

Of course, their cousins, whose fathers were better mixed, would be jealous of them.

John Morgenthau just wanted to open his mouth and reprimand his own daughter again.

But at this time, a new wave of guests came in.

John had no choice but to give Anna a threatening look and tell her not to get too out of the way.

Anna stuck out her tongue mischievously at her father, leaving John Morgenthau helpless and depressed.

Finally, it was Peggy who quietly tugged at Anna, who quieted down.

The other side.

Abel who enters the Morgenthau mansion with Bloomberg.

In a large reception hall with an indoor area of about six or seven hundred square meters, a beautiful golden dome, and a Victorian style of decoration, I met Robert Morgenthau.

Robert Morgenthau, along with a few other old men of about the same age, was chatting and laughing with other younger old white men.

Abel noticed, in that circle.

Standing there is a figure that Bloomberg would love to replace: the current mayor of New York City.

"Oh oh oh~"

Abel whispered to Bloomberg, "Michael. Look over there, even if you do succeed next year. In that circle, it seems that they can only stand a little outside."

Bloomberg was actually looking at that circle, too, and the richest man in New York chuckled softly and bitterly.

"If you knew the identity of the people who were chatting with Robert, you probably wouldn't think it was a bad thing to be on the periphery of that circle."

"Oh?" Abel's handsome eyebrows raised.

"John Chris MG, David M. LKFL。」 Bloomberg whispered two names: "They are the heart of the circle."

Abel nodded, and Bloomberg's reminder made him aware of the weight class in the circle that Robert was in at the moment.

Because as far as he knew, the names of the two men that Bloomberg had just mentioned.

It is now the head of these two families, in name.

The former is okay, he is still relatively young at this time, about forty years old.

The latter is already in his eighties, and he is the third generation of LKFL, a real old guy from 1915.

Abel whispered to Bloomberg, "By the way, I heard the grapevine. That David, he's had four heart transplants, is that true? Four hearts?"

Bloomberg looked speechlessly at Abel, who had a gossipy look on his face.

He replied softly, "I can't answer that question. If you want to know the answer, you know. I'm there, you should go and ask him."

"Huh."

Abel smiled back at Bloomberg's response.

The two chatted for a while, and more and more guests came.

In the large hall, in less than half an hour, there were probably hundreds of people.

Fortunately, the ventilation is very good, and the ventilation can be guaranteed at the same time, but also the temperature can be guaranteed.

This makes the huge ballroom feel stuffy or unventilated.

After a while, Abel met a few more acquaintances in it.

For example, Anne Hearst of the Hearst family, she took her baby daughter with her as always.

and the current CEO of Dow Jones Group, Pierre Carter.

and the owner of the New York Times newspaper company, Arthur Oakes Suzberg Jr. and his wife.

In addition to Murdoch and John A. J. Brown.

At the last charity banquet, several people Abel knew came.

Murdoch didn't come, and Abel guessed he might not have been invited.

For a long time.

This Aussie has always wanted to fit in with the American upper class.

But even in the time before Abel's rebirth,

None of the Murdoch family really got involved.

This made this guy even have to stand on the side of the MAGA king.

At that time, when the whole American media was in the black ga, Fox was saying good things about him.

It was the huddle of the excluded to keep warm.

In the present year 2000.

Although Murdoch had immigrated to the United States, News Corp. was still considered a foreign company at this time.

In the eyes of real local tycoons, Murdoch is an outsider and is very unpopular.

In this kind of banquet, it is also appropriate not to receive an invitation.

As for John S. J. Brown

This is the representative of the Texas consortium on the East Coast.

Today's drinking party looks like a traditional gathering of old money on the East Coast.

It's understandable not to invite the Southerners.

Abel doesn't count.

Although he was a Southerner, he started in New York and on Wall Street.

And he's also involved with the many oligarchs on Wall Street, plus that terrible financial ability.

To some extent, there is a value of being co-opted by this side.

In addition, the Texas consortium did not have a clear intention to accept him.

Abel's own attitude also seemed to be wavering.

For such a banquet, the invitation fell on his head.

But it doesn't matter.

Important:

Amanda Hearst, Anne Hearst's daughter, looked excited when she found him at the party.

She even left her mother's side directly and came to Abel.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he asked, "Huh? Didn't you bring a female companion? Didn't you bring that Ikana?"

"Amount"

Abel looked down at the pretty tear-stained girl, and then at her mother, who had a smiling look on her face.

There was also watching the lively Bloomberg, and Pierre Carter with his wife.

"When Robert called me, he didn't say he wanted a female companion. And Michael didn't bring a female companion with him." Abel replied softly.

The reality was that he was at the Royal Point in New York.

At that time, there were only top supermodels there, and he had a lot of fun and didn't want to leave during the day.

Can't you let Ikana or other female companions appear at No. 1 Thirteenth Road, which he named Isa's back garden, right?

plus Robert, it is true that he did not explicitly say that he wanted to bring a female companion.

So he came alone.

Looking over at this moment, he found that there was nothing but himself and Bloomberg.

It seems that most of the guests attending the banquet today are in pairs.

He couldn't help but look at Bloomberg, "Michael, why didn't you bring Mrs. Bloomberg here?"

Bloomberg shrugged, "My beloved wife is sick, and she's very sick. As you know, I certainly can't bring her here."

"Amount"

Abel was silent.

Then he heard Amanda whisper, "How about me being your female companion? Mr. Smith?"

"Not really, right?" Abel pointed to Anne Hearst, "Lady Anne can't be left alone."

"Oh~"

Anne Hearst laughed and whispered, "If Michael doesn't mind, maybe the two of us can make up for a while?"

"Oh~ beautiful lady. It's my pleasure." Bloomberg said immediately.

On the other side, Pierre Carter, who had a one-sided relationship, and his wife were smiling happily next to him.

The wolf of Wall Street is a little embarrassed, how can you do it without watching the excitement?

"How? You won't be ashamed to choose me!"

Amanda Hearst smiled, pinched her skirt in front of his eyes, and spun it around slightly.

Youth plus beauty, plus elegant and beautiful clothes.

Let this moment of immature girl, there is

With a different kind of charm.
