Little Laura only knows about the Ziptons, who were once participants in the Franco-American Foundation's Young Leaders Program.

She didn't know that it was on the French side.

There are many celebrities who have also participated in this organization or have been helped by this organization.

For example

Mr. Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Ma Yinglong, who is not yet 24 years old this year.

This young Frenchman is also one of the outstanding young people in France who have received funding from the Franco-American Foundation.

Abel attended today's gathering of Franco-American young leaders, and Ma Yinglong also attended.

In this party-style party.

Pony, who will marry the mother of his high school classmate in the future, is looking at Abel on the stage with some envy at this time, giving a speech to hundreds of outstanding French youths.

When I was eighteen years old, I traveled to New York, passed by Wall Street, and saw the bronze bull on Wall Street. I swore that I would become a leader on Wall Street in the future! ”

When I was twenty years old. I graduated from college. Then I took all my savings and got on a plane to New York. When I came to New York and set foot on Wall Street, I had only seventy dollars left on me, and you may not believe it, but that's the way it is."

That's right, in October 1999. I was on Wall Street and made my first million dollars. It was less than a month since I arrived in New York. ”

5 January 2000. It's been a year and eight months since now. At that time, I earned my first billion in dollars. ”

After that, I"

“.”

Abel's speech.

In the eyes of Ma Yinglong and the more than 100 outstanding young people in France below.

In fact, whether it is the subject matter or the appeal he shows in his speech, it is not particularly good.

At least many of the outstanding French young people in this can surpass Abel.

In the speech section, Abel, who has not received special training.

It may not be as good as the ponies at this time.

After all, there is a specialization in the art industry.

But if in Abel's body, he will be crowned the super-rich man in the United States, and after the title of the richest man in the world.

Abel's ordinary impromptu speech would suddenly become attractive and convincing in front of these outstanding French youths.

This is a very simple truth - you think what he said is not good enough, then you go on, do you have as good as he did?

The speeches and words of successful people, no matter how naïve they may seem, are not even logical.

But as long as he is illuminated by the aura of success on his body, he will look very glamorous.

Especially after this reception, you know.

Every "outstanding young leader of France" present can get "some" help from the Franco-American Foundation.

For example, tens of thousands of euros of "training grants", "re-education grants", "further study grants" and so on provided by the Franco-American Foundation.

When everyone applauded, of course, they did their best.

Looking at Abel, who was swaying freely on the stage and receiving cheers from all the outstanding compatriots below.

Ma Yinglong really wants that one day, he can stand on such a high platform and accept everyone's cheers.

Soon Abel Smith's speech ended, and another celebrity from the French side came up.

As is customary, there will be four such speeches this evening.

France and the United States sent two representatives each.

France is the host, so naturally it is the turn of this side to be the first to speak.

The person who spoke on behalf of Fran was an excellent member of the French side of the Young Leaders Project.

It is the city of Tulle, France. Mr. François Holland, the first secretary of the French Socialist Party.

Ma Yinglong noticed that when the second representative of the French youth leader went up to speak.

Abel Smith, the representative of the American side, who came down, sat down next to Mr. François Holland.

The two were talking intimately, not knowing what they were talking about.

Ma Yinglong really wanted to go to these two people and listen to the conversation between these two bigwigs.

It's a pity that he is still a young man, and he has only just joined the Socialist Party this year.

If he hadn't joined the French Socialist Party this year.

It is estimated that as a recipient of the Franco-American Foundation, he will not even be able to participate in the reception of the Young Leaders Program today.

I can't even see the speech of such a young richest man in the world!

"Whew"

Although he can sit here, Ma Yinglong feels that he is lucky enough.

And among the French youth, it is good enough.

But Pony still feels that he still needs to work hard, and he should work harder.

In this way, you can strive to be a speaker on stage in the future, even in a few years!

Ma Yinglong knows that almost all of the people who have been on the podium above are big people.

On the French side there is Monsieur François Holland, and on the American side it is even more exaggerated.

The great former Grand Commander couple is said to have both spoken at one time.

Listening to the speech of the new representative of France, the ponies begin to fantasize about their future in the future.

And not far in front of the pony, Abel, who had just finished his speech.

He was talking to François Holland, the big French man in Ma Yinglong's eyes.

"Oh, François, you mean, I should buy Le Parisien? And not the Soirrai? ”

François Holland nodded solemnly and reservedly: "Yes." Sir, I think Le Parisien is more valuable for you to acquire. ”

Hearing him say this, Abel smiled: "As far as I know, the color of "Le Parisien" is relatively light. And the "Evening de France" has a strong color of righteousness, why do you think I should buy the former? ”

"Mr. Smith." François Holland whispered: "Actually, I suggested it for this reason. ”

"It is precisely because Le Parisien is relatively weak in the color of justice. In this way, the French would not react so much when they knew that it had been bought by the Americans. ”

Abel gradually understood, and understood what François Hollande meant.

In terms of size, the two newspapers are actually about the same.

The same is true in terms of sales.

In terms of the difficulty of the acquisition, it is a little more difficult for Le Parisien.

Because the boss of Le Parisien is Amaury.

This is one of the main monopoly newspaper groups in France, including Le Parisien, Le Occidental Courier, Le Le Corps (the largest sports newspaper in France), and Mann Free Press; Journal Perspectives.

If you want to buy a large newspaper in the hands of this giant.

There is no other way but to throw money at it.

In contrast, the "Evening de France", which has a stronger color of Zhengzhi, is better to acquire.

Its shareholders are relatively dispersed, there is no clear boss, and as long as most of the shares are acquired, there is a way to privatize it.

Originally, Abel meant to be more inclined to buy the "French Evening News" first.

Because the difficulty is relatively low.

But when he asked François Holland, the Parisian snake, he was advised to attack Le Parisien first.

At first, Abel didn't understand it, but now Abel understands.

According to François Holland's meaning, it is actually very easy to understand.

It is the "French Evening News" that has a strong positive color and has a high status in the hearts of the French people.

The person who bought the "Evening de France" is better to say if it is French.

But if you are a foreigner, the French who are proud of their country and have the pride in the whole of Europe may have a relatively large mood.

In contrast, Le Parisien has very little color of righteousness, and it does not pay much attention to righteousness, but only to people's livelihood.

A foreigner buys the Evening de France, and the impact will be great.

Foreigners bought Le Parisien and not many French people cared.

In addition, Abel looked up at François Holland.

Abel remembered that the Franco-American Foundation had given him information.

This Mr. François Holland has a very good relationship with the Amaury family, the founder of the Amaury newspaper group.

This guy made such a suggestion, and it is estimated that it has something to do with this aspect of things.

Thinking of this, Abel smiled and agreed with François Holland's suggestion.

"Very good offer. But François, I am not familiar with Amaury. ”

"I've only been here today, it's the first time I've been to Paris, it's the first time I've been to France."

"I'm very unfamiliar with this side. And you're a local, and I'd like to ask François, can you introduce me to the gentlemen over there? ”

Abel laughed at the sight of François Holland.

François Hollande said: "Of course, I happen to know Henry of the Amaury family. He has a great relationship with me! ”

"That's great!" Abel laughed.

Off topic - the conversation between the two is entirely in English.

This is because the French youth funded by the Franco-American Foundation first requires him to have a good foundation in English.

In other words, more than 100 outstanding French young people were present at this reception at this time.

Everyone is fluent in English, even the French who are now speaking on stage.

He also speaks English rather than French.

In this way, more than two dozen Americans, including Abel.

There will be no language communication problems in this.

François Holland also spoke English at this time, and Abel certainly understood.

After talking about the newspaper, Abel communicated with François Holland about the place to live.

"Paris is such a beautiful city."

Abel smiled and said, "It's so beautiful that I want to buy a house here." ”

The truth is that more than an hour ago, he told little Laura and Anne that the city was too dirty and dark.

But a lot of times, it's just to open your eyes and tell nonsense.

Especially for those who are on a high level, or who want to be a top person, this skill is even a must-have.

That's the reality.

François Hollande also smiled and gave advice, "Mr. Smith, with your status and wealth. Naturally, they should live in the 16th district. ”

"Oh, District 16." Abel smiled and said, "I see." I'll keep an eye on it later. ”

The two chatted again, mainly François Holland, who was doing his best to entertain Abel.

After all, among the members present now, there is no doubt that Abel has the highest status.

He is also a major funder of the Franco-American Foundation, a Wall Street tycoon in the United States, and a marriage relationship with the bush family, and the richest man in the world.

There is no one here who is higher than him.

François Holland is already a Frenchman here, and is currently the highest-status.

If François Holland doesn't accompany him, who can accompany Abel?

Is it possible to let a small character like Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Ma Yinglong accompany him?

The whole reception consisted of four presentations and a follow-up networking session.

It took about two hours in total.

It's almost over.

Abel and several U.S. representatives of the Franco-American Foundation, the U.S. youth leaders of the Young Leaders Program, came to power.

The outstanding young people of France lined up to shake hands with these outstanding young leaders of the United States.

In the eyes of some well-intentioned people, it is estimated that this is the young French elite, worshipping the young American elite

Well, in a sense, that's actually the reality.

Among the representatives of the Young Leaders of the United States.

Abel stood at the top, smiling and shaking hands with these young people who would most likely become the mainstay of the country in a decade or twenty.

Holding and holding, he held an excellent representative with an expression as excited as other French youths.

Abel felt that this young Frenchman was a little familiar, and he was used to smiling at each other.

"Hello, sir. What is your name? Alberto asked.

The main thing is that the other party makes Abel feel a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere.

"Hello, Mr. Smith." The young French man was very excited and introduced himself, "My name is Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frédéric Ma Yinglong!" ”

"Oh, hello. Mr. Ma Yinglong. Abel used to call each other's surnames, and he reacted after calling.

Isn't Ma Yinglong the surname of the future French commander?

Abel couldn't help but look at the young man in front of him more.

Confirmed, this is the future European customer service pony.

"Hello, Mr. Ma Yinglong. I'm Abel Smith, and it's a pleasure to meet you. I think you will have a bright future and future! Able smiled, shook his hand a few times, and patted him on the shoulder as a sign of encouragement.

This makes the pony very excited.

But for Abel, that's all there is to it.

Not to mention that the pony is still a young man.

Even if it is Ma Yinglong in the future, Abel may not pay much attention to it.

On this planet, there are not many people who deserve the attention of the current Abel.

Anyway, the pony in front of him won't be this kind of person at the moment.

later

Later, when he can really become the commander of France.

Abel estimated that at that time, he would also stand in a higher position.

So what about the pony, he shook his hand and skimmed it.

It's just that after all, he said a few more words to Ma Yinglong, and this scene also fell in the eyes of the Americans and French present.

The Americans are okay, they didn't react much.

The French present reacted differently.

A big man like François Holland, who followed Abel, couldn't help but look at Emmanuel Jean-Michel Frederick Ma Yinglong a few more times.

Originally, a few years later, the pony that would be eyed by Holland.

In this time and space, but because of Abel.

It was noticed by François in advance.

If only the ponies found out, they would be very happy.

After this cocktail party.

When Abel returned to the Pullman Paris Defense Resort, it was already around seven o'clock in the evening.

In the executive lounge of the Pullman Paris Defense Resort, Abel met Soros who was chasing after him.

He had to give up the option of going back to his room and meeting them with little Laura for a while.

Instead, stay and negotiate with Soros.

"Mr. Smith."

in the hotel's executive lounge.

Soros looked at the handsome young Abel in front of him, and the oilman giant crocodile said:

"Until now, are you still reluctant to join us? The fat in front of you is the world's third-largest exporter of natural gas and eighth-largest exporter of oil. ”

Abel smiled and whispered:

"But it's also one of the top 10 economic powers in Europe. It also has one of the most powerful oil funds in the world. With so much oil sold, the country has enough wealth to keep its currency safe. ”

"Its oil fund has joined the fray!"

Soros said, "If it weren't for Mr. Smith, if it weren't for your actions. It's already failing. ”

"But I heard. The Norwegian Petroleum Fund is drawing its global investments and is ready to come back to support its country. ”

Abel said leisurely, "For example. This fund sold more than $3 billion of its shares in General Electric and exchanged them for dollars. ”

Seeing Abel like this, Soros sighed.

The oiler guy knows that if he doesn't talk about some practical benefits, he will definitely not be able to impress the kid in front of him.

As tough as Warren Buffett.

Soros thought to himself.

"Let's get straight to the point." Soros whispered, "Mr. Smith, what do you want?" ”

It's coming, it's coming.

That's how it feels.

Abel kind of experienced the feeling of the United States standing in the middle of World War I and World War II.

Not a winner, but able to enjoy the benefits of the winner in advance!

"NBC Network."

Abel spat out such a sentence.

"It can't be." Soros directly refused.

"It's not like I don't have money to buy it. Two billion dollars. How is it? Let GM GE sell it to me, and I'll be out. Abel said.

Soros smiled bitterly: "Mr. Smith, this is not easy. GE has a big regard for NBC TV. ”

"That's my condition." Abel whispered, "If I can't get it here, maybe I'll contact the Norwegian Petroleum Fund." After they sold some of their shares in General Electric, they still have about $7 billion worth of shares on GE's side. ”

Abel smiled and spread his hands at Soros, "As a major shareholder of General Electric." Maybe they might have a way to say that GE might or not. ”

Soros gritted his teeth, "We'll think about it." But I hope that before we consider the reply, Mr. Smith, you can't meet with the Norwegian Petroleum guys! ”

"I can't do that."

Abel said, and then he added with a smile before Soros's face changed drastically:

"But I can assure you, before you give me an answer. I'm not going to give an answer to the Kingdom of Norway, so it should be fine. ”

Soros nodded a little stiffly, then gritted his teeth and left quickly.

Looking at his back as he left, Abel laughed happily.

The layout, which has been close to two months, is finally somewhat useful by this evening.

But the bigger head is still to come.

Able couldn't help but look forward to the back.
