Chapter 429: Exchange of Interests and Shamelessness
In the office, looking at Bloomberg's sincere and serious expression.
After calming down, Able finally smiled.
Bloomberg is a smart man, a very smart smart man.
This is what Abel said about Bloomberg at this time.
Just like Bloomberg thought.
Abel spent so much effort to push this oiler into the position.
Aside from the relationship with City Bay Plaza in Hudson's Bay, does Abel want nothing?
How is this possible!
It's just Hudson's Bay City Square, and even if there is no Bloomberg, everyone else is in the city. Long, Abel can also find a way to push.
At most, it will be slower, and the effort and money that can be spent will be much saved.
Support for Bloomberg's ascension, in addition to the reasons for City Square.
is also because Abel knows that in addition to being a smart man, the old guy in front of him is also a guy who has no position.
Before becoming the Elephant Party's candidate this year, Mr. Bloomberg was a big benefactor on the Donkey Party's side.
The donkey party's financiers, or the interest organizations it represents, have always been media, finance, and the newly born Internet.
For example, the traditional forces of the Party are generally energy, industry, and agriculture.
The vast majority of media and financial giants naturally like to be on the side of the donkey party.
Like Abel, who is a financial tycoon and a media oligarchy, there are very few people who stand like the party.
This is also the reason why the donkey party has always been hostile to him.
Because of his two identities, the Donkey Party has never given up its efforts to pull him over.
As a media mogul, Mr. Bloomberg used to be a donkey party.
Many years ago, this guy was seeking the Donkey Party side of New York City. Long candidate position, just never succeeded.
Several internal elections have not passed.
It wasn't until the year before last that the guy realized that the Elephant Party had no successor in New York.
He began to make contact with the Elephant Party, and the two sides hit it off.
Without hesitation, this guy abandoned the donkey and threw himself into the elephant, jumping from the donkey party to the elephant party.
With the support of the Elephant Party, it became the current city. Long.
In parallel time and space, this guy was re-elected to New York City for two terms with the support of the Elephant Party. Long.
In the run-up to the third New York election, he found out that the Phenomenon Party was in good faith in New York.
The "Pandora's box" released by the Donkey Party changed the entire United States in just a few years.
New York is also changing.
That's when this guy decisively jumped back from the Elephant Party back to the Donkey Party, and then was re-elected to New York City. Long.
This made him an unprecedented three-term tenure in New York City. Long.
Later, he really couldn't choose the big man within the Donkey Party, so he had to give up.
Otherwise, it is estimated that he will be re-elected for one term.
Maybe he felt that he was being targeted by the Donkey Party.
After that, the guy jumped back to the Elephant Party and announced that he was running for the 2016 general election.
But at that time, the United States, under the mess of Lao Ao, was already in the era of identity justice.
Bloomberg's sideways jumps left and right upset both parties, and he lost outright when he was inside.
This made Bloomberg jump back into the Donkey Party again, and the result was that the elite Bloomberg was not favored by the voters at all.
Bloomberg failed again.
Bloomberg like this made many people ashamed of him.
There are also many people in the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party who do not like his approach.
Even in the era of donkeys and elephants, there was no addiction to jumping left and right like him.
Not to mention the era of hostility and confrontation between donkeys and elephants.
But Bloomberg's approach made Abel understand one thing.
That's the sheer animal of interest, the real wall-to-wall grass.
Whoever can let him get the benefits, who can let him get what he wants.
Whose man is that Bloomberg.
Bloomberg's orthodox stance is "nothing."
He didn't have that kind of thing at all, he just had his own position, that belonged to Bloomberg.
To put it simply, if there is a woman, it is a mother.
Whoever gives his daughter a drink, is his own mother.
What oilmen, what donkeys and elephants, that's nothing.
People with this personality are hated by many, including Abel.
But Abel knew that his character was the most useful to him.
If Bloomberg really had his own righteous position, then Abel would have to consider whether to use this person.
Unlike now, as long as you promise to be the mother with a "woman", you don't have to worry about Bloomberg's betrayal.
It's a rough statement, but Dani is not rough at all.
And Bloomberg's problem at this time, the Smith Intelligence Group has already provided Abel with multiple plans.
At this time, Abel smiled and said, "Okay, then I'll just say a few words." ”
Bloomberg laughed, "Very happy to listen!" ”
"I think ......," said Abel.
"I want to sit in this position, I want to sit here in four years. First of all, dear Michael, you can't be with those before the city. Looks the same. ”
"Uh-huh."
"Before those cities. Chiefs, they're almost carved out of a mold. Michael, you can't do that. ”
"What do you think I should do?"
Bloomberg stared at Abel earnestly, at himself, the big benefactor, the core of a powerful consortium.
"For example, reduce government spending first. This will make you gain a good reputation among ordinary people. ”
Bloomberg nodded, and Abel's own think tank had provided similar advice.
As the largest city in the United States, New York has a well-developed economy, a large population, and most importantly, a lot of money.
New York City's various municipal expenditures are a staggering amount of money.
Just one city, New York spends more annually on the city than many smaller states in the United States.
States like North Carolina, Kentucky, and Alabama, many times, in many places, as a state, are not as good as New York.
"It's very difficult, and there will be a lot of people who oppose it." Bloomberg said.
New York City is spending a lot of money on this issue before the city. It's not that I don't know, and it's not that no one wants to change.
But this kind of thing is like the redundant officials and redundant soldiers in the last years of the ancient Chinese dynasty.
A collective of interests has been formed within it, and it is a place where many people suck blood.
If you want to reform, you need to get rid of these people first.
"It's not an all-encompassing cut, you can target a certain aspect. Like what...... You can start by ordering the elimination of most of New York's municipal vehicles and reduce spending on this. ”
Abel said softly.
Bloomberg was stunned, then smiled, "A very good idea!" ”
"Also, it's not like you're going to cut back on expenses and offend people. What you have to do is let the people or the voters know that you're doing this. ”
Abel whispered:
"For example, as the mayor of the largest city in the United States, there are countless luxury sports cars. But you yourself take the subway to and from work every day. I'm sure everyone will like you when you know this. ”
Bloomberg frowned.
Commuting by subway every day?
The bird-like shape of the New York subway is famous all over the world.
More than 30 percent of crimes in New York occur in the subway system, which is about to turn 100.
Let him, a billionaire, commute to work in such a super dangerous thing?
Do you want to bring dozens or hundreds of bodyguards with you every day?
Seeing Bloomberg's hesitation, Able laughed.
"As far as I know, there is a kind of shuttle bus in the New York subway called the security train, which will not have passengers on it, and it patrols the New York underground every day to check the safety of the subway system."
"As the city. Long, sitting on the security train, the first time every day for every New Yorker, check the safety of the subway that day, and pass to work by the way. ”
"If I were a New Yorker, I would have been very touched when I found out about this."
Bloomberg suddenly burst into laughter:
"Oh, indeed. That's my obligation as mayor to keep every New Yorker safe. ”
Bloomberg had understood.
He understood that Abel didn't let himself really do anything for the benefit of New York.
All I have to do is make New Yorkers think that they are doing it for the benefit of New York's citizens.
Just do that.
"That's pretty much it. In other aspects, environmental governance, promoting healthy eating of citizens, carrying out charity, donation activities, etc., not to mention these routines. ”
Bloomberg nodded, but he had listened for so long, but he never heard what he really wanted to hear.
He came to Abel and asked Abel this question, did he really want Abel to give him instructions on how to govern the city?
Not.
What he really wanted to know was what kind of exchange interests Abel needed.
Let's put it this way, ask this question, and in fact Bloomberg just wants to know what Abel wants.
This is Bloomberg, on Abel pushing himself onto the city of New York City. In the process of growing this position, the feedback of the strength is out.
It's like George lived in the White House, and it only took two months.
Just like appointing 38 powerful people who helped him during the election campaign as U.S. envoys to 38 countries.
Clearly marking prices and exchanging interests is one of the basic principles of the United States.
If you can't, you're a bad businessman and will keep everyone away from you.
"Other than that. My friend, do you have any other ideas, or ......?"
Bloomberg's voice became smaller: "Request." ”
This is not to talk about anything else, no longer tactful and hypocritical, and directly ask Abel what he wants.
Abel was silent.
In the entire office, for a while, only the sound of two people breathing remained.
For dozens of seconds, the two did not speak, just looked at each other.
Until Bloomberg, it was almost a little uncomfortable.
"I don't like Roland from the Transit Authority. Their family has been sitting here for decades. ”
"I have a new energy company in California, and it will launch zero-pollution new energy environmental protection vehicles next year at the latest. It is a unique product in the world. ”
"At the end of this year, Miss Laura Bush will become the CEO of a healthy eating company, which is a new company."
"Also, tell you a good thing. I plan to start the Smith Charitable Foundation next month. ”
"I say this, do you understand? Dear Michael. ”
Smack-
Bloomberg slapped his thigh, and finally a relaxed expression appeared on his face.
"My man, you should have said that!"
"Hah-"
Abel shook his head helplessly, "Then you should ask me what I want as soon as you come up." Instead of asking me how I should govern New York. ”
"Well, my bad. It's that I'm not honest enough. I admit my mistake. Bloomberg laughs.
The atmosphere that was originally a little sluggish also became soothed under the smiles of the two.
Bloomberg didn't stay at the Smith Building for long.
After determining the requirements of the partner.
New york city. The long soon left.
Escort him out of his office door, back in his boss chair, sit down, and get back to work.
Until noon.
In Abel's office, the palace-style arched curtains hang low on both sides, and the inside cannot be seen from the outside in front of the special bulletproof floor-to-ceiling windows.
After lunch, Abel admired the bustling streets of Manhattan in spring.
In the bathroom behind him, there was the sound of violent coughing and retching, followed by the sound of running water.
"Ahem...... What a bastard you are! ”
Walking out of the bathroom, Amanda was wearing a light blue Chanel and Hermes mixed OL suit, and her originally fair and pretty face was still flushed red that had not subsided.
After she washed it, her beautiful face was covered with water droplets.
In the bathroom just now, she not only washed off the makeup on her face, but even the tears in the corners of her eyes and the things Abel gave her were gone.
"Hah-"
Abel glanced back at Amanda with a flattering look in her eyes, and said haha:
"You brought it on yourself." Do you want to try office XX", this is not what an intern in the content department of one of your subsidiaries should say to the chairman of the headquarters! ”
Just now, Amanda, as an intern in the content department of Smith Media, was instructed by Michael Levine, president of the media group, to bring some information to the chairman of the headquarters for approval.
Abel was a little surprised by her arrival, but he was okay with it.
He knows Michael Levine and should know Amanda's identity.
Abel didn't say much, and asked Amanda to take the information and open it to read.
I didn't read two pages before I heard Amanda, who was dressed in a beautiful OL suit, say that sentence.
Abel naturally did not hesitate to start.
"Hmph—I said that, you can't do that."
Amanda whispered "angry":
"You are an unethical unspoken rule in the workplace, and you are X harassment!"
Seeing her pretend to be angry, Abel found it quite amusing.
This chick, like Liv, is also a trickster.
Abel was "vicious", reached out and pinched Amanda's chin, lifted her up, looked at each other, and said:
"Then I tell you as the chairman of the group company, this is the unspoken rule of the Smith Group. Also, your chairman will also tell you that from today onwards, one of your work tasks is to come up at noon every day to bathe it, remember to practice hard. Just like when I was at home, your teeth hurt me a little. ”
Amanda pouted.
"You guy, you really have the conquest to become a tai! Are you particularly excited when you see me make a fool of myself? Don't lie to me, I see that look and look in your eyes. ”
Her beautiful blue eyes slanted, "Come to think of it, Laura Bush often kneels in front of you like this, right?" Oh, and those Ikana, Paris, and whatever. ”
Abel: ()
It was said that it was the center of the matter.
What man doesn't want to see a noble woman from high society kneeling in front of him, doing that kind of thing with an extremely surrendered attitude?
Seeing him like this, Amanda pouted again, "Lydia is right. Looking at your expression, I really said it just now. ”
Hearing Amanda say this, Abel's eyes showed a look of surprise, and he asked curiously:
"Lydia is right, you told her about this? What else did she say? ”
"Giggle...... Yes, I've told her a lot about us. Lydia is in this regard, she is now my staff officer! ”
Abel was silent, if it weren't for Amanda herself.
He didn't know that Lydia, who seemed introverted and easily shy, could still serve Amanda as a counselor in this kind of thing......
Also, can you say this kind of thing to your sisters?
Well, Abel suddenly discovered that this kind of thing is normal among American women.
Amanda's self-exposure continues.
"Lydia also told me that the way you look at her is the kind of look a woman looks like when she sees jewelry."
Abel was surprised: "What kind of eyes?" ”
"Flickering, greedy, and full possession."
Amanda hugged Abel's waist and walked around to Abel, smiling playfully, reaching out to caress Abel's handsome face.
"Lydia is very smart, but I'm just a man, and it's normal to appreciate a woman's gaze."
"And ......" After saying that, Abel paused before saying again:
"A lot of times I think two is better than one, what do you think?"
Amanda was stunned, yet to react.
I heard him say insatiably: "Ikana, there is a Paris beside her." Anne Hathaway and Jessica Alba are getting better. Not to mention those Hollywood girls, and the angel babes of Isha's company. Do you know what I mean, my dear Amanda. ”
Amanda understood, of course, and she was furious and saw that he looked like he was taking it for granted.
Gritting her teeth, Miss Hearst: "Shame on you!!" ”
"Sometimes, shamelessness is one of my mottos. I think Mr. William Randolph Hirst must have agreed with me very much. ”
Amanda was speechless.
Because Abel's latter sentence is actually the motto and code of conduct of her great-grandfather, to be exact, that is, the founder of the Hearst family, William Randolph Hearst.
Regardless of how tall the current Hearst family is, how traditional and majestic they are.
But in that Gilded Age, William Randolph Hearst, a journalist-turned-journalist, was known as the golden writer, and he was known for his shamelessness throughout the United States at that time.
The kind of shocking title party of later Chinese UC was used by William Randolph Hearst more than 100 years ago.
Amanda's great-grandfather is the founder of the Shocking Headlines Party and the Lower Three Pornography X News in the world......
The modern newspaper industry has a term called "yellow journalism," which refers to sensationalist news reporting, mostly sensationalist and focused on crime news and social scandals.
Romance, violence, and conflict are common topics.
William Randolph Hearst, a newspaper magnate in the early 20th century, is regarded as one of the founders and masters of "Yellow News".
At the beginning, the Hearst family started with the shamelessness of William Randolph Hearst and opened up the situation in the tabloid world.
In the face of William Randolph Hirst's attack, even Joseph Pulitzer, the founder of the highest award in journalism, was helpless.
Amanda, the ancestor, also served as a member of the U.S. Congress and even influenced the course of world history.
At the end of the 19th century, Hearst used his own press to vigorously encourage the United States to go to war against Spain.
During the Spanish-American War, he personally led a team to the battlefield to cover the situation and showed great enthusiasm.
Historians believe that Hearst "played an important role" in the outbreak of the Spanish-American War.
The madness factor in the Hearst family's genes comes from this.
Abel took out William Randolph Hearst's motto at this time and plugged Amanda's mouth.
Even if one of the two is about the shamelessness of men and women, and the other is about the shamelessness of acting.
Amanda was still speechless.
"Go to work, Miss Hearst. Don't forget who you are now. ”
Seeing her like this, Abel directly asked her to calm down, he would not get used to her, "You are an intern now." Miss intern, please don't forget your job. ”
Yes, he ate her.
But Abel won't let Amanda indulge freely.
Rather, because of its personality and family genes.
He would only keep her more and more tightly guarded.
It's a bundle, not a typo, a bundle of bondage.
If Amanda thought that with that kind of relationship, she could do that, then she was wrong.
