Chapter 428: A Big Signboard
Early March 2002.
New York, Fifth Avenue, Manhattan.
A convoy of seven black Cadillac cars slowly drove down the road.
At this time, if there is a heart.
If you look closely, you can see the Cadillac black sedan in the middle of the convoy, and its rear compartment has been slightly hunched together.
One on the other, one sitting and one down, very rhythmic.
Even with the latest electromagnetic suspension technology, the stability of the vehicle is ensured.
But when the car was in the car, the Abel brand electric "motor" was moving wildly.
The state-of-the-art vehicle suspension technology is also not guaranteed to be unaffected by the impact of this force.
This slightly undulating state.
Hit the convoy from it. The building at 1 Young Park South came out, and it never stopped.
Until about half an hour or so.
Wait for the convoy to stop at the Smith Building in the heart of Lower Manhattan.
This kind of shaking, it has only come to an end a little.
The bodyguards of the other vehicles got down and gathered in the middle of the car, waiting for the owner of the car to get down.
Raised up the partition, completely enclosed in the silent rear compartment of the Cadillac monster.
Abel was looking relaxed and putting on his tie.
Next to him was Miss Amanda Hirst, who was scrambling to tidy up her own OL dress.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Take your time, there's still 25 minutes left until your start time. You can sort it out and get out of the car."
[In view of the general environment,
Looking at the makeup mirror in the carriage, and not seeing any lipstick marks on his face in the mirror, Abel smiled and said to Amanda who was wearing a bra.
"Hey, chick. You took the initiative to sit on it. I warned you!"
"Hmph—"
Able smiled and shook his head slightly, "According to what I said, if you mind, just pack up before getting out of the car." There's still time, so I'll go down first."
Without waiting for her to respond, Abel stepped out of the car, and after the door was closed, he said to Doni, who was guarding the car, "Wait for her in a moment."
The female bodyguard captain nodded silently and stayed by the car, while Abel glanced at the car behind her, and then walked quickly into the Smith Building surrounded by the four King Kongs.
As soon as he entered, Lydia Hirst opened the door and stepped out of the car waiting in the car behind the Cadillac monster.
The young lady of the Hearst family, with a little pink cheeks, walked up to the window of the Cadillac monster.
She knocked on the window.
Dongdong –
"What are you ......?"
After being electronically synthesized and transmitted via a wireless device, Amanda's voice rang out from a small inconspicuous speaker next to the window.
This is one of the modification facilities for this Cadillac monster.
The Cadillac monster's strong sound insulation and three-defense capabilities make it impossible for people outside the car to hear the movement inside the car at all.
In the same way, there is no way to hear the outside sound from the inside of the car.
And the meaning of the existence of this modification is that it can be safe, without opening the window door.
Let the people in the carriage communicate with the people outside.
"Aren't you alright? We're going to report today, and we're only 22 minutes away from work."
Lydia said helplessly.
"Isn't there 22 minutes left? Wait a few more minutes."
Lydia pursed her lips, but could only wait.
After about 5 minutes, Lydia and the others wanted to go in first.
The door of the Cadillac monster was finally opened.
After putting on some makeup, the radiant little woman stepped out of it.
Ah, in this state
Manda, Lydia thinks it's beautiful.
"Finally? Let's go, let's get in." Lydia said.
Before the fall of Amanda, the two of them had already obtained internships at Smith Media through Abel.
The two will intern at Smith Television Group while continuing their college studies.
This kind of situation of studying while going to work is very common among the elite children of the upper class of American society.
Many times, the children of the upper class in the United States can easily get master's and doctoral degrees from various prestigious universities, but many times these people rarely appear on campus.
The reason is that many of these people are studying in school and working in various top companies.
has a backer and background, and has enough fault tolerance.
In addition, many of them are still very hardworking and diligent.
With these prerequisites and foundations, with just a little talent, these second-generation generations can perform very well.
At least in the media reports, on the surface, it seems that everyone is the pride of the sky and the elite of the world.
Amanda and Lydia are members of this gang.
Not to mention the Hearst sisters, report to the personnel department of Smith Television Group.
Abel's side.
"Boss is ......"
"Good day, boss......"
Abel responded with a charming smile and two not-so-pretty, but sweet-sounding receptionists nodding in response.
The elevator went straight to his personal office, and when Abel stepped out of the elevator, his two female assistants were already standing outside the office door.
"Boss."
"Well, bring me the documents from this time, and those sifted invitations. Bloomberg will come in a moment and bring us two more cups of coffee."
Abel walked into the office that had been pushed open by the female assistant, and quickly commanded while taking off his trench coat and throwing it to the assistant.
"Okay boss."
Looking at the back of two female assistants who graduated from prestigious universities, worked in a large group, and were very good looking, left.
Abel raised his eyebrows and shrugged his shoulders, he knew that the collars of these two were getting lower and lower, and the career line was getting deeper and deeper.
However, appreciation is appreciation, he will not eat the grass next to the nest.
It is enough to have a lesson from Catherine Jones, the secret service Catherine Hannah next to Laura Jr. now.
Even if they can be guaranteed that they are not agents, spies, or spies, Abel no longer has the patience to cultivate two canaries.
Besides, his women are all goddess-level, although these two are in good shape and appearance.
But age and experience are not new, don't mess up when the time comes, and make some scandals of workplace X harassment, it will be really disgusting to death.
Don't think that the Americans don't dare to play this kind of trick against the big bosses of the consortium.
Even guys like David Rockefeller have had similar scandals and news.
He, Abel Smith, is a playboy himself, and this kind of scandal really happened, as long as it wasn't fake news.
The public must believe that he took the initiative.
As the saying goes, all loyalty comes from interests.
When one day, the benefits of betrayal outweigh the interests of loyalty, and perhaps they will not hesitate to choose betrayal.
Half an hour later.
"Hey, man, you look busy, what are you doing?"
"I'm writing a check, wait a minute."
Abel looked up, glanced at Bloomberg who walked in, said with a smile, holding a pen in his hand, and quickly signed his name on several documents.
"Cheque?"
The founder of Bloomberg didn't see it at all, picked up a few checks that Abel had signed in front of him and looked at them.
New york city. The chief found that they were all charitable donations to some charity associations that fought the autumn wind.
For example, digging wells for Africa, changing new clothes for Asian children, giving girls in Eastern Europe a new pair of red high heels, etc.
Many of these projects seem to be ridiculous to the Chinese people.
But in the United States, where charity is a business, they exist in this way.
Don't think that the corruption of the Cross will only happen in China.
The United States of Social Atta will only get worse.
Needless to say, no matter how far away the time or future, just a few years ago, the United Charitable Foundation, the largest charitable fund in the United States, broke out a shocking scandal.
Flying on a first-class plane, Lincoln luxury stretch car transfers, X harassing female employees, spending a lot of money to buy luxury homes and gifts for lovers......
A few years ago, William Alamoni, CEO of the largest charitable organization in the United States, was exposed to stealing donations to satisfy his own extravagant private life.
This scandal is so serious that it has set American philanthropy in a tailspin.
So...... The world is as black as a crow, and no one should laugh at anyone.
"My friend, you're so generous."
After a few dozen different checks on the table, Mr. Bloomberg found that they all added up to almost $4 million.
"I used to do this, I was paying protection money. Now I'm doing this because I'm paying for image maintenance."
Abel shook his head with a smile and said, "Fortunately, it's just a little money, so it's just a hobby of mine."
"It's not a small amount of money, two or three billion dollars a year...... This hobby of yours is really expensive." Bloomberg said, shaking his head.
Abel didn't speak, and signed the last document.
Above, the wife of one of the two senators from New York State, runs a charitable fund to call on Americans to dig wells for blacks in Africa.
It's talking about Abel, but in fact, this kind of donation Bloomberg has not donated less before.
It's just that the amount and quantity are not of the same order of magnitude as Abel.
This kind of donation is still very necessary in many cases.
Usually make a good call, the other party's requirements are met, and when you need to use these connections, you can get help with a phone call.
To put it bluntly, it's also a deal.
Similar to the situation of the revolving door, while engaging in the transfer of benefits, hang a layer of bright charity plaques.
With this skin, people who don't know the truth see it and think that every rich man in the United States is a very generous and benevolent philanthropist.
In fact, 1/10,000 of this money can reach the donor, then the other party is really a good person.
Tsk, how good is that?
One party gains, one party gets its name and help if necessary.
At the same time, this kind of behavior can also be used as the content of the United States' foreign propaganda, and it can be used as a material for NGOs to brainwash leeks in the third world.
Brainwashing leeks makes them feel that the rich entrepreneurs in the United States are all socially responsible and philanthropists.
The so-called beacon of the civilized world is washed out bit by bit.
Closing the file and stamping the pen, Abel looked up at Michael Bloomberg.
Bloomberg, in fact, is not young, and will be 60 years old after his birthday this year.
Fortunately, I have a lot of money, I can enjoy the best longevity medical technology in the world, and I also have a great personal makeup artist and image designer.
The heap of money makes the 60-year-old Bloomberg look young and strong, a strong New York City. Long image.
"I've heard about what you're doing in the City Hall, and I have to say, well done, man."
Rising from the boss's chair, Abel walked over to Bloomberg.
The two of them walked together to the sofa in the office lounge area.
Bloomberg shrugged, "I've got to do something to show the public that I'm and the rest of the city. It's different."
"Haha......" Abel patted him on the shoulder, "but I heard that you put the market."
The long office has been turned into a securities company."
Last year, Mr. Bloomberg was elected to New York City under the slogan "Willing to serve the public with an annual salary of dollars." Long.
It has been two months since he took office, and during this time, Bloomberg has transformed the traditional layout of the New York City office for 190 years, like an investment bank, into a large room in the style of a trading hall.
He also put a lot of New York technicians and managers, even bureaucrats, like traders in financial firms.
Through this system, real-time monitoring of the city's fire protection, public security, health and other indices.
Bloomberg declared that the same applies to the city, and he carefully planned the entire city.
This practice once caused heated discussions in the United States.
Many people criticized him for turning the city hall into a financial company.
Fortunately, New York is the financial center of the United States and even the world.
There is a certain foundation for doing this in New York.
In addition, as soon as the heated discussion began, Abel's "attack" occurred.
Big Internet celebrities are in the way, and Bloomberg's reform of New York City *** is not a big deal.
The two sat on the sofa, and the female assistant brought coffee.
Abel's side is as usual Meixia coffee, and Bloomberg has nothing to worry about coffee beans, he just likes to drink iced American.
It's the one with ice, it's bitter and thick, and it doesn't have a little sugar or milk.
Many Chinese people drink it as a Chinese medicine to boost their spirits.
Judging from the content of ***, the practice of ice American style is indeed no different from traditional Chinese medicine.
"The City Council has passed."
After sitting down, Bloomberg took a sip of his coffee and said softly, "The building union has also informed you, and it's not a big problem. It's time to set up a project, Mr. Gold."
"Hah—that's great news."
Abel said happily.
He had worked hard for more than a year, and even bet on Bloomberg in advance to get out Hudson Yards, and now he finally got everything ready to go.
"Let's start a Hudson Yards group, as we said earlier."
For the construction of wonders, the Huaxia attribute in Abel's soul was activated at once.
"The issue of share allocation is also based on our previous decision."
Bloomberg nodded, "No problem. Come here today, in addition to telling you about it. There's another thing."
"Huh?"
"I want to ask you what you think about governing New York, or what you want."
Hearing Bloomberg's question, Abel's eyebrows couldn't help but rise.
"City. Mr. Chief, this is your responsibility. To know about the City of New York City. It's you, it's you Michael Bloomberg, it's not me Abel Smith."
"Don't talk to me like that." Bloomberg said angrily, "You know what I mean, Mr. Abel Smith."
Bloomberg initially mastered New York City***, and after mastering the work, he came over to ask Abel this question.
It's not a city. Mr. Chang was idle.
It's not that Bloomberg regards Abel as his own Zhuge Wuhou.
I did this because Bloomberg knew that even though he was New York City. Long.
But this part of New York, it's never been a city. The long has the final say.
Or rather, it's never even the New York authorities' decision.
Want to be in New York City. Sitting firmly in this position, you have to make a difference, or be able to get oil and water.
That's not an easy thing to do.
Compared to other cities, New York, the largest city in the United States, is too crouching tiger, hidden dragon.
Nothing else, Bloomberg knew that this guy in front of him was one of the most terrifying dragons and tigers in New York.
Don't look at Abel as a Texan, but half of his real basic market is in New York City.
On Wall Street, Smith Capital has long been one of the six major investment banks, and the new Smith Financial is even more behemoth.
Smith Media is one of the giants in the media industry, one of New York's areas of strength.
The most important thing is that this guy is too rich and generous at the same time.
For checks like the one just now, Bloomberg guessed that Abel would write at least a dozen checks a day on average!
Not to mention the rest of the United States.
Just in New York.
As far as Bloomberg knows, in the whole of New York, at least nearly 90 percent of all kinds of congressmen and power figures, regardless of donkeys or elephants, have almost all received Abel's benefits.
All kinds of influential journalists, writers, and influential figures have also taken his checks.
If Soros is the whole world, throwing money at the media everywhere.
That Abel was throwing money around New York.
With revolving doors and charitable donations, this guy played better than anyone else.
A rock security, a 1450 network consulting company.
These two companies have thousands of employees who only receive salaries and do not receive jobs.
If you look closely at the list of these employees, it is easy to find among these people, the wife of the New Jersey Speaker of the Assembly, in the Brooklyn district. The name of the eldest father, the son of a representative of the Manhattan Parliament, etc.
Maintaining contact with these people is very costly.
But when Abel was in need, these networks built with dollars and profits could make him invincible in New York.
Bloomberg knew he could be elected, and one-third of that was his own and the Oilman's efforts.
The remaining 2/3 is half of the Elephant Party's good business in New York in the previous years, and the other half is the guy in front of him.
Take, for example, when the Bloomberg election was in full swing.
This guy in front of me is not in New York, though.
But a social welfare charity fund in New York suddenly launched a donation activity called "Changing Hearts and Faces".
The charity raised $6 million in charitable donations during last year's election to pay arrears to 12,000 New York City inmates who had completed their sentences but could not afford to pay fines.
In the run-up to Election Day, the charity gave the prisoners the right to vote again.
Any New York City inmate who registers to vote and faces a fine of less than $1,500 can receive sponsorship from the charity.
Shortly after the event began, Bloomberg received 1.2 more votes in one day......
To be honest, this is a path that Mr. Bloomberg himself did not envision.
New york city. The chief also knew that this should be the solution that Abel's think tank came up with.
So while getting his wish to become New York City. Long, there is also the support of a whole oilman group behind it.
Bloomberg, however, still values this "friendship" with Abel.
Just because Bloomberg knew that in New York, "Smith" was now a big sign.
With the help of this big signboard, I sat in this position.
But I want to sit down well, I want to sit down for a long time.
Smith's signboard must not be lost at any time.
Don't you see that even the one in the white house still picks up this signboard from time to time and waves?
This proves that this signboard is easy to use in the United States now.
