Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

"I'm back." Behind the desk, Robert Morgenthau, who was reading documents with reading glasses, said with a gentle smile while taking off his reading glasses and putting down the papers.

"Hmm." Abel unceremoniously came to the chair in front of him and sat down.

Behind Abel was Peggy, who quietly closed the door.

"You're usually going to be okay when you come to me." Robert put his hands on the table and crossed them in the "Ikari Gendo" pose, looked at Abel quietly, and said.

"I want you to go to a show."

Robert frowned, "Your lingerie company show? There's no way I'm going to go."

Let an eighty-year-old man go to the underwear show, and dare I say that if I were fifty years younger, it would be about the same—Robert thought.

"No, it's not. That's obviously not for you." Abel smiled and said:

"You're old. Robert, it's useless for you to appreciate that thing."

Robert, who was originally in a calm mood, was already a little angry.

"What the hell is that show?" Robert asked, frowning.

"Tonight. Madison Square Garden Arena, the NBA league's talent show. How about we go and see together?"

"There's no way I'm going to go." Robert's face turned completely bad, "You let me watch a lot of Brother Ni play with balls? I refuse."

Robert Morgenthau belongs to the most typical East Coast old white man style.

Don't look at him as belonging to the Donkey Party, which is the party with the most black supporters.

But if you look closely, you can see that the old man didn't even have a black friend.

After all, he was in his eighties.

In his youth, blacks were not very human in the United States

Abel knew that he would do this, so he spoke:

"Warren Buffett and Bloomberg will go. Bloomberg said, don't you want to talk to Buffett?"

Robert Morgenthau looked slightly hesitant, "No. I don't want to go, I don't like places that are too noisy."

The old prosecutor seemed resolute and did not want to back down.

"Okay." Abel said, "Then forget it. By the way, Robert, are you interested in taking a stake in Smith Capital?"

"Smith Capital?"

Robert Morgenthau sat up straight, and the gray-haired old man looked at Abel, "Tell me about your plan."

"0.2% dry shares." Abel said:

"For Peggy or her father. The premise is that the position of Manhattan District Attorney must always be Morgenthau. When you lose this position, you will also lose the right to dividends of the 0.2% shares."

Abel's words left Robert Morgenthau in deep thought.

Abel didn't bother him, but turned his head to look around and take in the layout of Robert's office.

The fact that only 0.2% of the dividend right is given to Robert Morgenthau is something that Abel has already planned.

In addition, after that, he also plans to take out another 0.6% of the dry shares that only have the right to dividends and hand them over to the other three people to dispose of.

The three are the Speaker of the New York City Assembly, New York City. City. Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.

The reason is simple.

With the addition of a Manhattan District Attorney (West District of New York), these four people are the largest and most powerful landlords in the New York area. ….

Whoever holds these positions will be entitled to dividends during their tenure.

Whoever loses these positions will also lose this right to dividends.

There is a high probability that the dividend right will not be directly held by these four people, and the rules of the game do not allow it.

But they have the right to dispose of it.

Whoever they want to give this 0.2% dividend right, Smith Capital will give it.

It's also very simple.

Smith Capital will put this person to be appointed

, recruited into the company.

Then in the form of annual salary or options, these benefits are legally and reasonably given to this person.

In fact, this is a variant of the "revolving door" that is very common in the United States, completely reasonable and legal.

The difference is that the ordinary revolving door is generally executed after the party retires or resigns.

Smith Capital's revolving door was simply given out when the other party was in office.

The difference between the two is that it is obvious that Smith Capital's 0.2% dividend will be extraordinarily amazing.

"I agreed." After about two or three minutes, Abel wanted to stand up and look at a vase in the corner of Robert's office.

Robert spoke.

"It can't be Peggy." Robert Morgenthau said calmly, "She will be my successor. Give it to her father."

Abel withdrew his gaze from the beautiful vase.

He gave Robert a smile, "No problem. Dear Grand Prosecutor, this is your authority."

Robert gave him a piece of advice, "You should show your generosity to more people. Smith Capital has not even re-employed a single retiree, which is unconventional."

Re-employment of retirees.

Robert's words were very vague, and Abel understood.

Probably referring to the normal version of the revolving door operation.

The so-called revolving door is characteristic of the United States and other European and American regions.

It refers to some ******, after leaving the job, retire and re-employment, and enter some large enterprises to work.

A lot of the time the job is a consultant, and I only get paid and don't need to do things.

Companies that are generally able to allow them to retire and re-enter the workforce.

Often, it is also very "coincidental" that they worked in the field before they left their jobs and retired.

For example, gentlemen such as officials from the Department of Health and Health or FDA reviewers.

After they retire, they often become consultants and executives of companies such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, and AbbVie.

Another example is the generals of the Pentagon.

After they retire and retire. Generally, you can get a good position in companies such as Boeing, Raytheon, and General Dynamics

This is the so-called revolving door, which is an American feature.

Unfortunately, the large enterprises of a large eastern country later began to follow suit.

Robert was probably reminding Abel of this.

Because Abel's current company does not have such consultants, and there are no such retired re-employed personnel.

It's not that Abel doesn't do this.

It's all of Abel's companies, which have either just appeared for a long time, or have just been acquired for a long time.

Even if you want to play the revolving door, you haven't had time to turn it yet.

Even if you want to recruit these retired and re-employed people, there is no suitable opportunity at present. ….

"I know what you mean." Abel thanked Robert for the reminder, "Thank you, Robert. I'll do that."

Robert smiled and nodded.

"Alright." Abel smiled and said, "We're done talking. Robert, are you really not going to accompany me to Madison Square Garden? You don't have to go to the game, it's just a draft, and you can watch it as entertainment."

"I don't like to see a large vote of Brother Ni appear in front of me." Robert Morgenthau was expressionless again.

"But Peggy can go. If she's willing to go."

Abel thought to himself that a little Ikana, a little Laura, might go.

Add one more Paige that doesn't matter, wouldn't that be a world war?

He couldn't refuse, so he looked at Peggy.

Fortunately, Peggy, who had been quiet beside her, said lightly:

"I don't like basketball either. If it's American professional baseball, I'll probably take a look."

"Ha~" Abel breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "That's easy. Wait two days I'll put the Yankees

I've bought it, and I'll invite you to watch baseball then."

The New York Yankees are one of the baseball teams in Major League Baseball.

The team's home stadium is in the Browns borough of New York. In the division of the American League, it belongs to the Eastern Division of the American League, and because the team has more than 100 years of history, it also has the most famous historical events in the history of American sports.

It is also one of the commercial sports powerhouses in New York with the most fans, and is much more popular in New York than the Knicks in basketball.

In the same way, there are football teams such as the New York Giants, and any one of them beats the Knicks in the NBA league.

However, New York is a Knicks team, and the Knicks have become the richest and richest team in the NBA league no matter how good they are.

Now in 2001, the combined market value of the entire NBA league of 30 teams is estimated to be worth more than $12 billion.

But a New York Yankee has a market value of about $4 billion.

In other words, a top team in the MLB league is worth more than a third of the NBA's team value.

In the pre-NBA era, when the Celestial Empire was not fully developed, the NBA was perennially at the bottom of the four major leagues.

After the development of the Chinese market, the value of the NBA was firmly established in the top three leagues.

But even so, there are still characters like stinky thunder in the NBA.

This is a typical example of picking up a bowl to eat, putting down the bowl and scolding the mother.

In the face of Abel's statement that he would buy the New York Yankees, Morgenso's grandchildren were not very suspicious.

Because no matter how high the New York Yankees are, it is possible to succeed with Abel's wealth.

Peggy's response to this was a faint response, "Okay. I'll go when the time comes."

Robert didn't invite, and Paige won't go.

Abel did not remain in the prosecutor's office either.

He went out with Peggy's send-off.

As soon as he got in the car, he picked up his phone and made a call.

"Hello, Warren."

"Good afternoon, Abel."

"How about a trip to New York tomorrow night?"

"What's the matter?"

"Come to Madison Square Arena tomorrow night and we'll watch the NBA Draft together."

As soon as this sentence was finished, Abel was afraid that Buffett would refuse, so he rushed before Buffett opened his mouth and said: ....

"I've invited the City of New York City. Chairman, City Council Chair, Elephant Party candidate Bloomberg, and Western District Attorney Robert Morgenthau. These people will show up when the time comes. Warren, are you sure you're not coming?"

Warren Buffett was silent for a few seconds, then said, "What's the big plan?"

"You'll find out when you come here."

"Okay. Then I'll go over tomorrow."

"OK, wait for you."

The phone hung up, and Abel breathed a sigh of relief.

In fact, the people he just talked about were only one of Bloomberg who promised to go.

And I still heard that Buffett would go, so Bloomberg was willing to go.

In fact, Abel did not invite Buffett at all before this.

He has only now extended an invitation to Buffett.

As for what New York City. City. Mayor, City Council Chair, Western District Attorney Robert and others

Abel was either not invited at all, or was denied.

But. Whatever.

Even Warren Buffett and Bloomberg found out the truth afterwards.

Could they fall out with Abel and be dissatisfied with Abel because of this trivial matter?

At most, it's speechless, and then angry for a while.

This face, Abel still has at this time.

It's just through this incident that Abel also discovered that none of these upper-class old white men in the United States are really interested in the NBA league.

It seems that even Omaba, as the only black-skinned leader, has never been to the black-dominated NBA league.

In the United States, what is too much and too strong for black people is destined to belong only to the bottom.

No matter how hard the NBA league executives try, as long as they don't change that, they will never be able to compete with the NHL and MLB.

At most, he uses the influence of the international market to press the ice hockey league under him as the fourth, and he himself as the third.

But it doesn't matter to Abel.

Much of his interest in the NBA came from his teenage years.

It is in the nature of a play ticket.

Whether the NBA league can go up or not, he doesn't bother to care.

After hanging up, Abel's motorcade headed for Woolworth Tower.

Negotiated in 1913, the 792-foot (241-meter) 57-story building was built in the neo-Gothic style.

It is now one of the properties under the New Realty umbrella.

The tax + cost of buying the building cost Abel a total of $1.635 billion.

In the heart of Manhattan's core, buying a prestigious building is such an exaggerated price.

After being wholly owned, Abel has applied to the New York City Government for a name change.

If it is approved, there will be no "Woolworth Building" in New York.

Instead, there is a mansion with the prefix of Smith's name.

It's like Daddy Ikana's Tedlerna Building, which was originally called the Chase Bank Building in Manhattan.

It was the old man who bought it and changed his name to his last name and first name.

Abel also learned from him.

It's just that Abel's side is a little more difficult.

Because the Woolworths Building is more famous, taller, and more important, it is already a historical building.

This one is a little bit so hard to change.

Today, the Woolworths Building is beginning to be fully leased, and more than 400 companies inside are being cleared out.

It's a money-losing job, but it's not too difficult, and it takes some time. ….

In addition, the façade of the building has already been renovated and cleaned, which will last for a month or two.

Half a year later, there will be a skyscraper that does not change its original appearance, but has a new look.

Abel didn't go up to the building, and there was nothing to see if he went up.

He was at the door of the building and looked at it.

Perhaps he felt that looking at the Woolworths Building, he couldn't help but look to the south of the building.

There, there are two buildings that look exactly the same, a lot taller than the surrounding buildings.

They are shining brightly in the late June sun in New York, setting off the city's prosperity and modernity.

"Twins~"

Abel sighed softly.

He had already decided to stay in New York for another month and leave the city after a month.

He won't be back in New York until that is over.

He would wait until the dust had cleared before returning to traumatized New York.

Then, if he can, he'll come here as the savior of New York or Manhattan to establish his new image in the city!

This plan, he has been precipitating for a long time.

It's just that because you can't tell others, you can only know it yourself.

It's a little ruthless.

He was also curious if it was a conspiracy.

Or is it just the inevitable occurrence of accidental events formed by various coincidences?

He didn't know any of this, but he knew that his life was important.

During that time, he would also keep his women, important employees, away from Manhattan for a while, under various pretexts.

In fact, he was not the only prophet who did this.

In parallel time and space.

When that day comes.

Around these two buildings, there is not even a single Wall Street executive.

The kind that doesn't have one.

They were either on a business trip, on vacation, or they happened to be out of Manhattan at the time.

It's such a coincidence.

This kind of coincidence made many movies in Hollywood later, and it was vaguely mentioned in the movie.

Even American dramas have it, and the American drama "Billions" also mentioned a little bit of this coincidence.

It's just very vague and I don't dare to mention it blatantly.

After looking at them for a while, Able relented and got into the car.

"Let's go. Andy." He commanded the driver.

Andy, the driver, flipped his turn signal and drove into the middle of Manhattan's vast river of cars surrounded by a convoy.

Unfortunately, today is Saturday.

Tourists flock to Manhattan to visit one of the most developed modern wonders of the capital nation.

As a result, Manhattan is blocked.

Leaving at three o'clock, it was only four or five kilometers away, but it took an hour to drive.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon.

After a long day out, Abel returned to 8 East 63rd Street on Manhattan's Upper East Side.

Paris and Ikana, haven't been out all day today.

Paris stayed in her room, in the middle of a manuscript. YKM's design director has been rushing to the draft all day long.

This is the consequence of the lack of strength and talent, but to take on the heavy responsibility of the design director of a fashion clothing company.

Ikana, on the other hand, was very laid-back. ….

When Abel returned, he watched her read a book in the living room on the second floor, wearing loose casual clothes that she rarely wore in normal times.

Ikana looked at it so seriously that Able didn't notice it when he walked up to her.

Abel looked at the cover of the book she was looking at in Ikana's hand.

The name of the book is "The Perfect Guide to 40 Weeks of Pregnancy Upgraded Best-Selling Edition".

This discovery allowed Abel to reaffirm her resoluteness.

For the sake of the child, she is a little enchanted.

On the table, there were several other books.

Abel picked it up and looked at it, what were "Mary's 100 Tricks for Sure Pregnancy", "How to Conceive a Healthier Baby", "How to Eat Pregnant, Pregnancy Nutrition and Recipes".

It's outrageous.

"Smack~"

Able reached out and closed the book she was reading, which startled Ikana.

She looked up and saw that it was Abel who had returned, and her face had just shown joy.

But Ikana heard Abel say, "What's the use of reading these books if you want children? Of course, the actual operation is more useful! Let's go, let's go up and do the actual operation, so that you can have a child as soon as possible."

Ikana smiled shyly and wanted to say something, but she screamed in fright, and it turned out that Able picked her up all of a sudden.

Abel was still holding her and walked to the third floor.

"Be careful. In case of a fall, it will be troublesome. Maybe I already have it now, so I need to be more safe!"

"What are you afraid of, it's not that you don't know my strength. Like you, I can hold two at a time, one on my back, and one in front."

"Bragging~ Ah, don't hit, don't fight, don't grab so hard. I believe it, I believe it, but can't I believe it?"

"Haha."

While the two were laughing, they happened to meet Paris Hilton on the third floor who was holding the design draft and preparing to go to the second floor.

"Hi Paris, hello." Abel hugged Ikana and greeted her.

Paris nodded, and just as she was about to say something, Abel had already carried Ikana to the room.

Paris: "What are you going to do?"

Ikana ate and smiled without answering, with a light in her eyes.

It's spring,

It's the water light,

It's a brilliant light.

Just don't answer Paris.

Fortunately, before entering the master bedroom, before closing the door, Abel winked at Paris, "Of course it did."

bang

The door closed.

Paris was stunned for a moment.

Then he reacted again.

"Falk oil!"

She made an international gesture to the master bedroom of Ikana and Abel.

In the afternoon, I took the third child to the hospital for a check-up, the three-month-old child had a cough for two days, and he came back at six o'clock, sorry.
