Liam S. H· L. Hunter, this old guy has been at 324 Buckingham Road in Houston's Dr. District for a long time.

Until about 10 p.m.

The patriarch of the Hunter family left satisfied.

In the courtyard.

Looking at Liam's departing convoy.

Abel smiled and whispered to David and Allen, who were standing beside him:

"Look, didn't we just find a crack inside the iron plate that we could get into?"

David smiled slightly and didn't answer the boss's words.

Alan replied respectfully, "They themselves are not ironclad. In fact, even if it's a Rockphil or a Morgun. As long as there are enough benefits, they can also be able to make cracks."

"Well said."

Abel smiled and applauded, "Yes, profit. Profit is everything."

"Alright." His voice softened, "It's late. Let's all go back and rest. There's still a lot of work to be done in the next few days."

These days, Alan and David have been really busy.

It involves the exchange of shares, shares, and some terms between dozens of large companies within two huge consortia.

These efforts are mainly coordinated by the Smith Intelligence Group.

Allen is the general manager of the Smith Intelligence Group and is responsible for most of the oversight work.

David, in turn, oversees Allen and Smith's Intelligence.

During the merger of the two consortia, the two of them were the busiest.

On the other hand, David and Robert are more relaxed, and they just need to continue their work.

"Okay...... David replied with a smile.

As the housekeeper of the family, David had a room of his own in many of Abel's houses.

Basically, except for going out to run errands, and it is generally related to Abel's family.

Wherever Abel goes, there is David Jones.

Unlike Allen, Allen will generally only appear by Abel's side when he has business needs.

Otherwise, Alan would normally be in New York, the headquarters of the Smith Intelligence.

Like now, the Smith Intelligence Group, Smith Capital, and Pacific Commercial Bank have come to hundreds of people.

Abel was in downtown Houston and chartered two hotels.

Alan lives inside the hotel, so he can keep an eye on the staff.

Two cronies left one after another.

Abel, who had been busy all day, also turned around and went back to the living area at the back of the villa.

This manor house, with its exterior style, is a pure New England countryside idyll.

But the interior of the living quarters is very modern.

When he came in, Scarlett didn't show up.

Abel walked around, but he didn't see his little canary.

He made his way to the master bedroom, which had a sleek marble vanity and shiny wooden hard floors.

Able walked up to the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, which gave him a very open view of the bustling night view of Uptown Houston.

After glancing at the night scene, Abel closed the curtains with his hand, and he took off his suit and untied his tie.

By this time, a smile had already appeared on his lips.

He heard the sound of water coming through the crack in the door in the master bedroom's bathroom.

….

I picked up a neatly folded new bathrobe on the couch, looked at it, and threw it back.

What to wear......

Anyway, you have to take it off later, so it's better not to wear it directly.

He quickly undressed himself, swayed and flicked, and walked into the bathroom where the sound of water came from.

There were no screams of a woman in the bathroom.

Abel looked at the beautiful scenery in front of him with some amazement.

That beautiful arc can make any man crazy, and he can't take his eyes off it at all.

or

Xu was because of the hot water, the girl's face was covered with redness, a little immature, but extremely charming.

Under his watering.

Now it looks more and more fascinating.

Looking at Abel's unbridled gaze.

Scarlett stepped forward slowly, stood on tiptoe, and with a somewhat reluctant hand, hooked Abel's neck.

It's a bit of a strenuous.

She's a little short, he's too tall.

The girl whispered, "What are you waiting for?"

The four eyes looked at each other without blinking.

Scarlett's body was held up.

And then...... Spring has arrived, everything has come to life, and it is the season of happy animals again.

Spring flowers bloom, grass grows warblers fly, spring, everywhere is full of vitality and romance. Abel naturally won't let it go.

A busy night.

This time "called" to go, Scarlett Johansson stayed in Houston for a total of three days.

The experience of these three days made her suddenly understand a lot of things.

Let the girl, who was already very mature in her original mentality, become more and more stable.

Three days of getting along.

She really felt that Abel did seem to be a little abnormal in pampering herself.

But in fact, Scarlett Johansson herself feels that she really has no advantage compared to the "girlfriends" or "employees" that Abel knows around.

In terms of beauty, she feels that she is inferior to Annie and Jessica.

In terms of figure, although he is big enough in some aspects. But it's too short, and the total score is really not high.

In terms of temperament, even Scarlett is very confident. But she also knows that temperament, an ethereal thing, is what she lacks the most.

On IQ, on acting, on ability, on character......

In every way, she didn't feel like she was the best.

It seems like...... Seem...... is also in the area of age, and he is the youngest one.

She was suspicious, perhaps for this reason.

He just likes to be more of himself.

Because Scarlett had heard of that guy's fiancée, she was the same age as herself!!

Look at the way he looks obsessed with himself.

Scarlett couldn't help herself: Fake! Sure enough, it's Smith, and a blacksmith is a blacksmith!

These three days, Scarlett noticed.

He was very busy during the day, just herself, and stayed by his side for half a day.

Follow him, go to see him half a day's work, and see that he commands dozens of real banking elites, directing and investing for the flow of billions and tens of billions of dollars.

In an instant, he decided the future compensation and benefits package for the thousands of employees of his energy company.

There will also be a future gigafactory in Houston and so on.

And that's not all.

The problem was that he had received more than twenty phone calls that morning.

….

It seems to be talking about something that Scarlett doesn't understand, such as international gold, oil, and the yen exchange market, and I don't know what I'm talking about.

This busyness lasted until about eight o'clock in the evening.

His phone would stop.

His big man, David Jones, who even valued his respected assistant David Jones, would leave with his other two mobile phones.

But even so, the personal mobile phone he carried with him would ring non-stop.

Scarlett Johansson overheard twice, once when he was on the phone with a guy named Michael.

At first, Scarlett thought it was Michael Ovitz or Michael Communications.

Both of them were senior executives at Smith Media, and Scarlett knew them.

They also treat her with a lot of respect, and she knows why they respect her.

Later, she found out that it didn't seem to be the two Michaels.

Because Scarlett had seen him and the two Mais

The way Kerr's conversation looked, not as egalitarian as the phone call she accidentally overheard.

Later, Scarlett speculated that it could be Disney's Michael Eisner.

This is also a big shot.

But in a few seconds, Scarlett overturned this speculation.

Disney's Michael, at most, is about the same status as his two Michaels.

It is impossible for him to be called "my brother" or "old friend".

Later, she heard Michael's last name, Bloomberg.

Scarlett then thought that he was in a relationship with New York City. Long Michael Bloomberg calls!

Oh, the mayor of the first city in the United States, and he was on the phone for half an hour!

Even if she didn't hear what the two of them said, Scarlett realized what kind of existence this man who demanded too much about his body!!

If the first phone call that "accidentally" overheard has already made Scarlett a little numb.

The phone call he answered when he was holding her.

That is, his second phone number, the guy he contacted, surnamed Bush.

I heard him and Mr. Bush, like two college students' best friends, complaining and laughing at each other.

Scarlett was completely speechless.

If she was not mistaken, this shrub must be the shrub in the white house.

She knew that as long as Abel didn't give up, she wouldn't think about running away from him in her life.

In addition to these, Scarlett also found that his private mobile phone text messages were particularly high.

There are more than a dozen of them every hour.

She sneaked a glance at it, and found names such as Annie, Jessica, Yinkana, and Liv in the list of text messages on her phone.

They send a lot of text messages, many of them unread.

This made Scarlett understand that it was no wonder that he had sent him so many text messages, and he would only reply once or twice a week or two.

Scarlett felt that if she was replaced by herself, there were so many people looking for her every day.

It is estimated that he will be like him, and he will only reply to one occasionally.

Otherwise, it may take half a day just to reply to these text messages every day.

In addition to work, there are also calls and calls.

In the past three days, he just focused on tossing himself.

….

The night before returning to Los Angeles, he tossed himself for more than three hours six times.

In the end, Scarlett Johansson felt that his whole body was close to collapse, and he was barely satisfied.

She was tired, but Scarlett was happy.

She felt that this was further confirmation that he was indeed "pampering" himself.

This is the biggest gain that Scarlett has gained in the past few days in Houston.

And when Scarlett Johansson left Houston and returned to Los Angeles to continue promoting "King Haibian" and planning a new movie and new role.

[In view of the general environment,

Two days later, on the evening of 10 February 2002.

Smith Media's major newspapers, television stations, Internet news channels and other news media published the same notice.

The content of the notice is that the U.S. Pacific Commercial Bank, together with the First National Bank of Dallas, the First City National Bank of Houston, and Dallas. And. National Bank and the Texas Mercancies.

There are also three other insurance companies, which announced restructuring, merger, new equity distribution, and the formation of new financial groups.

The name of the new financial group is Smith Financial Group.

As soon as the news was published, within a few minutes, it was reprinted and disseminated by all the commercial media in the United States and even around the world.

In many countries, elite business media have devoted themselves to programs with special reports in less than half an hour.

Obviously, they were prepared.

And in the 2nd

The No. 1 selling newspaper in the United States, the Wall Street Journal, named after Wall Street.

Take this news as its front page headline today.

【…… First National Bank of Dallas, First City National Bank of Houston, Dallas Common. And. National Bank and the Texas Mercantile Bank, all four of which are in the top 30 in the U.S. banking rankings. 】

[The highest ranking is the Commercial Bank of Texas, which is the 10th in the United States. Five. Big banks. It has 98 branches, total assets of US$12.1 billion, and assets under management of more than US$100 billion. 】

[These banks also have insurance companies, after the merger with the Pacific Commercial Bank.] 】

[It will make the new Smith Financial Group one of the top 5 super financial giants in the United States.] 】

[In terms of assets alone, Smith Financial Group is now only below Citibank, Wells Fargo, Morgun Chase, and Mellon Bank, and even surpasses giants such as Bank of America and Bank of New York. 】

[This merger between the two sides is no less than dropping a heavy depth charge in the banking industry throughout the United States and even the world. 】

[The splash caused by this bomb is bound to spread to the entire banking and financial industry, and the impact is far-reaching. Especially this new company, its chairman and CEO, are all Mr. Abel Smith. 】

[Presumably, next, Mr. the richest man in the world will definitely make Smith Financial Group more attention-grabbing. 】

[However, this is not the most important thing, the most important thing is ......]

【……】

The Wall Street Journal's report was talking about the merger of several big banks.

….

But later, it revealed the truth behind the merger in a storytelling way.

That was the bank merger, which was actually the core event of the integration of the consortium represented by Abel Smith with the Texas consortium.

In its report, the Wall Street Journal expressed to its readers in a subtle way the emergence of a new and large consortium.

On this day, in fact, the Wall Street Journal is not the only one that reported it.

Other large media outlets such as ***, New York Post, Los Angeles Times, Washington Post, etc., which are not controlled by Smith Media.

The content they report is generally similar to that of the Wall Street Journal.

To a certain extent, these behaviors of these newspapers can be shown as the dissatisfaction of other established consortia with the convergence between the two major consortia, as well as the behavior of taking eye medicine.

And this has indeed surprised many Americans.

They weren't surprised by the existence of the consortium.

It's like the chaebol of Han and Neon.

The lives of ordinary Han Guoren and Neon Cabinet cannot be separated from the influence of their chaebol.

It's the same with ordinary Americans.

Their lives are also full of shadows of various European and American consortia.

If Xiao Yaga and Xiao Nishi Hachi can accept the existence of the chaebol, then of course the Americans will have no problem.

Many Americans, they are surprised that Abel Smith has only been active for two or three years.

In just two or three years, how did he suddenly become the owner of the new consortium that the big newspapers say?

This is also an exaggeration.

You know, in the past, the newspapers used to say that Abel Smith was born in rural Texas and was the son of a farmer.

He grew up feeding cattle and sheep, shaving sheep, driving farm tractors, and was a standard Texas farm boy.

In addition to being particularly handsome, he can also draw.

In other respects, he is like thousands of American teenagers.

In this way, almost three years ago, he went to New York with dozens of dollars to chase his dream.

But now?

Now the farm boy of the year became the richest man in the world last year, and this year he has become the owner of a new consortium!!

In just three years, he has done it all.

Isn't this the best American dream?

Combined with his recent encounter with being attacked by those KBFZs.

and his character who has always been very benevolent.

Too many Americans feel that young Abel Smith is the living American dream.

It can only be said that at this time, Abel's various personalities for more than two years, as well as the recent attack, combined with a very good positive effect.

Let the major media that originally wanted to take eye medicine, let their malicious reports have had a positive effect in the hearts of many Americans.

Those reports, on the contrary, became more flattering to Abel Smith, his legendary standard American dream.

A new thought
