Chapter 431: The status of the wealthy ecological chain
The wealthy family is a circle, going in circles, and in the end, the circle is full of their own people.
For example, in a parallel time and space, a few years later there was a female student at Stanford University.
She didn't study at Stanford University, but she went to study with Bill Gates and dropped out of school.
After dropping out of school, he opened a blood testing company in California.
The female entrepreneur claims that her blood testing company has developed a new product that requires only a needle's eye and a drop of blood, as well as a cheap examination fee, to do hundreds of different physical tests.
She claims that her innovative approach is clearly more commercially promising than the traditional method, which often requires a small vial of blood to be drawn and expensive to perform a single test.
This kind of statement, which violates basic physiological common sense, should have no market.
But this female entrepreneur has developed her company to a valuation of $9 billion in just a few years.
She herself owned more than half of the shares, and her net worth once reached $4.5 billion.
She also put together a very prominent board of directors for her company.
In this board of directors, there is a former secretary of state of the United States, and there is more than one.
There is a former country of the United States. Minister of Defense, there are also more than one.
There are former senators of the United States, there are former seas of the United States. Military. will, the number is still more than one......
There is also the former CEO of Wells Fargo, and there is media mogul Rupert Murdoch, the former CEO of Bechtel......
Except for herself, the board of directors of her company, any member of the board of directors, is a prominent figure in the United States.
However, this kind of technology that can only be realized in science fiction movies is of course impossible to complete in reality.
In the end, the female entrepreneur and her company were proven to be a scam.
She "defrauded" a large group of powerful people, as well as many billions of dollars of real money from wealthy people and investment companies.
It stands to reason that he cheated such a large group of bigwigs, and they have so much money.
In this part of the United States, she will definitely disappear directly after the physical body is fully used.
Anything that was shot 8 times in the back, was hit by a car while walking on the street, etc., should have happened.
But this fraud case has dragged on for several years from the discovery to the sentencing.
During this period, not only was she not imprisoned, but she even got married and had a baby during the appeal.
Those bigwigs who were deceived by her, one or two have not come out to investigate.
Until shortly before Abel's rebirth.
She was sentenced to 11 years and 3 months in prison for defrauding investors.
The kind that serves a sentence in a private prison.
The private prison where she served her sentence also happened to be run by her husband's family.
It's still new, and she's the first, and the only one who has been shown to be a prisoner later.
This private prison with only one person, the detailed address, happens to be a mansion of her husband's family.
The woman's name was Elizabeth Holmes.
And now, the 18-year-old future "female version of Jobs".
Tonight, she accompanied her father to a banquet for the Morgenthau family in New York.
When her father took the initiative to socialize with the bigwigs at the banquet.
Elizabeth herself, smiling, whispered to Abel's fiancée, Laura Bush.
"Oh, Laura. You're so enviable. Look at your future husband, he's like a cosmic black hole in this hall, and everyone is attracted to him! ”
Elizabeth is the same as little Laura every year, only a few months older than little Laura.
Little Laura is now a student at New York University's Manhattan campus.
Elizabeth studied at Stanford University in California.
There are two schools, one in the east and one in the west, and Elizabeth is not a Texan.
But they don't look strangers at all.
This is because the two have known each other since they were very young.
Elizabeth's family lives in Washington, D.C., a city with a special status in the country.
When little Laura was a child, she lived with her grandparents in the white house for four years.
The reason for the friendly relationship between the father and the family, and the fact that the Holmes family lived close to the white house.
When they were children, the two were playmates and friends.
As a D.C. native, I was able to have such a good relationship with the people who lived in the White House.
Elizabeth's parents, naturally, cannot be ordinary people.
Her family pedigree includes Charles Louis Fleischman, who founded the Fleischmann Yeast Company, and Dr. Christian Holmes, who founded Cincinnati General Hospital and the University of Cincinnati School of Medicine.
Elizabeth's father, who held a range of positions from the U.S. Academy of Sciences to the Agency for International Development, was also a vice president at Enron.
Also once as a five. A high-ranking official at the Corner of the United States planned and executed the transformation of the U.S. military from a conscription army to a fully voluntary service army.
Elizabeth's mother in the United States. Country. can work, and he is also from a famous family.
Her family ancestors can even be traced all the way back to one of Napoleon's top field generals, Marshal Davotte.
It looks more remarkable than a shrub that can only be traced back to a family of lumberjacks in England.
With such an identity, she was naturally qualified to be friends with little Laura, who lived in the white house at the time.
Hearing Elizabeth's words, I looked at her fiancé who was talking to a group of old people not far away.
Little Laura smiled shallowly:
"I've been lucky, Elizabeth, you know. When I was a kid, we learned to fish together, and I always caught more than I fished. ”
Little Laura knows, don't look at Elizabeth, now clinging to herself like a good girlfriend.
But in fact, this guy didn't think much of himself before.
When she was a child, little Laura even heard from her friends in Washington.
said that Elizabeth when she was a child, after her grandfather's re-election failed, she happily said to her friends: "The hillbilly from Texas has finally returned!" ”
All along, little Laura knew that Elizabeth was jealous of herself.
Jealous that he can live in a white house.
It was, and it is now...... Looking into Elizabeth's eyes, little Laura knew too.
It's just that on this occasion, the two used to be playmates when they were children.
Elizabeth was so enthusiastic and proactive, she couldn't be too rude.
"Yes, you can always be favored by luck."
Elizabeth felt that her emotions were well hidden.
She looked at Abel in the distance, and then at little Laura.
I think Abel is tall and handsome, and at the same time so dazzling.
I also feel that little Laura is not as beautiful as herself, and her figure is not as good as herself, and her background is ...... If it weren't for the two Great Commanders, it would have been like that.
Elizabeth felt that most of her life was better than little Laura.
That small part can be regarded as equal between the two sides.
But such a little Laura has a fiancé who is so good that the whole United States is stunned.
And what about yourself?
Except for the same background, I don't have anything now!
A potential marriage partner picked by the family, and the family that opened a chain of private prisons!!
Although the opening of a private prison in the United States is still a chain, it is actually very profitable, and it must also be very powerful.
No matter how much money you make, this industry is also an industry that is not very exposed and not very glorious.
If it weren't for Aburbi of Little Laura, it would be easy to say, at least it would be very powerful.
As long as she compares with Little Laura's Abel, Elizabeth will feel unbalanced from the bottom of her heart.
In Elizabeth's opinion, the fiancés of the two are simply a heaven and a hell.
But now, the situation is stronger than people. Elizabeth knew that she had better please this bush chick she hated since she was a teenager!
What's more, because of Abel, Elizabeth started to drop out of school and start a business earlier than in parallel time and space.
She is now full of thoughts about getting close to Abel through little Laura.
I want to get angel investment from Abel and get Abel's support.
In this way, no matter what aspect of entrepreneurship you do, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort.
Think about the startups and startups that the richest man in the world is optimistic about.
This name alone is enough to attract any investor and any wealthy person from all over the world to join!
Of course.
It would be even better if you could snatch Abel away from the hated little Laura!
Elizabeth thought she could do it herself.
Even his parents and family will definitely support him fully.
Instead of letting yourself go with the one who opened the prison!
"Laura, unlike you who are blessed by luck. I wasn't so lucky. ”
Elizabeth smiled wryly, trying to look pitiful.
"My fiancé, most likely John of the Cox family......"
Cox is a relatively rare surname in the United States, but there is a very famous Cox family.
The family, which owns Cox Enterprises, is one of the media giants, ranking around 14th or 15th in the national ranking of private companies.
But little Laura knew that the Cox that Elizabeth was talking about was not Cox of Cox Enterprises, but the Cox family on the East Coast of the United States, specializing in chain private prisons.
The two are actually related, and the latter also has a small stake in Cox Enterprises.
But the two sides separated a long time ago and cannot be confused.
It's a bit like the relationship between the branches of the Mellon family now.
They are all ancestors, and they are also relatives, but they have long passed their own lives.
Since the Cox family can open a private chain of prisons, it means that this family has a strong presence at the official level.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be able to make such a big deal of a profitable private prison business.
Little Laura knew that John Cox and knew that it was a wealthy family similar to the Holmes family.
They all live in the DC zone, and little Laura also saw it when she was a child.
"John Cox? That's not bad, his evaluation is very good in our circle, and he is a steady person. Little Laura laughed and whispered.
Elizabeth pursed her lips inwardly.
John Cox is qualified to marry Holmes, and his family is certainly not bad.
It's about the same as Holmes, or just a shrub with a Grand Commander.
After the two Grand Commanders, the Bush family had already jumped up the ranks, and was slightly one level above them.
The problem is Elizabeth's character, born to be in the limelight.
If she marries John Cox in the future, then she will probably not be able to be in the limelight casually.
Those who run prisons, whether they are private chains, try their best to avoid being in the news.
Elizabeth wants to continue to pretend to be pitiful, have a good relationship with little Laura, and then use little Laura as a springboard to contact Abel.
Because she was mainly thinking about Abel, before talking to little Laura, she subconsciously looked ahead, that is, Abel's direction.
It's okay not to look at it, but when I look at it, Elizabeth can't help but whisper.
"Oh, OMG, Laura, look over there! It's David Rockfaeler and John Chris Morgun! ”
It turned out to be the social circle of Abel, who was held by the stars and the moon, and there was an equally large circle of people.
In the middle of that circle, the two people who were headed by were the two oligarchs John Chris Morgun and David Rockefeller.
"Ninety-nine out of 100 East Coast banquets will be rumored to be coming. But in reality, they will only appear once or twice at most! ”
"I heard that the two of them would show up tonight, but I didn't expect these two to actually show up tonight!"
Speaking of the latter, Elizabeth's tone had become very excited.
Fortunately, she also knew that on this occasion, she couldn't scream loudly, so she still lowered her voice.
"Really?" Little Laura smiled lightly again:
"But I heard that as long as Abel appears at a banquet held by the East Coast giants, the probability of these two appearing is 100%, and I don't know if it's true."
Elizabeth was stunned, and at first she tacitly calculated the probability.
Later, Elizabeth realized that this was not an arithmetic problem at all.
This is this little Bi next to him, showing off to himself.
Elizabeth broke her defense, her face became extremely bad, and she felt a little unable to act.
"So be it. Elizabeth, it's a pleasure to see you tonight. But I'm going to talk to the other ladies. ”
At this time, little Laura also said goodbye to her at the right time, and then slowly walked to the circle of ladies in the other direction.
It was the ladies and ladies of the Morgenthau family who entertained the circle of female family members brought by the real bigwigs at this banquet tonight.
Elizabeth had just come out of that circle.
In that circle, young Elizabeth belonged to the periphery of the periphery.
can only accompany the smiling face and listen to the ladies throughout the whole process.
Elizabeth didn't like the feeling of a supporting role, and when she saw little Laura just now, she immediately ran out.
"Falk the Pool ......"
Elizabeth scolded secretly, and saw the top lady circle that made her feel like she was fleeing just now.
After little Laura walked over.
They were peacocks and took the initiative to greet little Laura.
A large crowd of people, like blooming flowers, surrounded little Laura.
At a glance, little Laura is the center of that circle, one of those people who are flattered, flattered, and envied among the petals.
"Fack, Shet, Fack, Shet!!"
Elizabeth completely broke her defenses, full of resentment, and she turned around and walked outside, ignoring her father, who was still circling and socializing.
Not to mention Elizabeth, who fled in resentment.
Abel's side.
"What are you talking about to make everyone so happy?"
In the two circles that blended, David Rockphil came over with a glass of red wine and joined in with a smile.
"Talking about the New York Yankees and the New York Giants. Just now, Mr. Newhouse promised that Mr. Steinbriner would definitely sell the Yankees to Mr. Smith. After all, George is old. ”
An old man who looked somewhat similar to David Mellon, but was not young, said with a smile.
"Oh, Yankees? It's my favorite team, but I don't like Steinbriner. If Mr. Smith had bought it, I promised I'd be on top of Yankee Stadium. ”
Yankee Stadium is the home of the New York Yankees, located across from McComberstein Park in the Bronx of New York City, and was built in 1923.
The man who spoke was a younger man, John Chris Morgun.
The core figure of the Mahogon family is said to have only gained control of the family a few years ago.
It is the youngest head of the family in the top circle of the American wealthy family, about fifty years old.
The premise is to ignore someone who is only 22 years old this year.
"Hahaha-"
"That's what I just said."
The old man who was the first to reply smiled in response to John Chris Morgun.
The old man's name is Depp Mellon, and he is the head of the Mellon family in New York and one of the important figures of the Mellon family in the United States.
He had a son named David Mellon......
Looking at the two guys who were looking at him, Abel smiled:
"If Mr. Steinbreiner, as Mr. Newhouse says, would be willing to cut his love. Of course, I'm willing to fulfill the wishes of all gentlemen and go to Yankee Stadium with you to watch the game. ”
Abel said of himself, and Shi Yi Newhouse immediately smiled and said:
"Hahaha, I don't think George will refuse, and he also wants gentlemen, to be at Yankee Stadium. Even then, he wasn't the master there. ”
Newhouse's words made everyone laugh, including Shiyi Newhouse.
Everyone seemed to be smiling happily.
It may be estimated that George Steinbrina, who was not present, or was not qualified to be there, probably couldn't laugh after knowing the news.
It's just a leopard from Ohio.
Just hugged the thighs of the Newhouse family and was able to get ahead in New York.
In the eyes of ordinary people, he may already be one of the top richest people.
But in this circle, George Steinbrina's status is roughly the same as that of Ikana, her father, who didn't meet Abel.
It's all at banquets of this level, and it's easy to be seen as a clown, the kind that everyone makes fun of.
After laughing for a while, David Rockphil smiled, still cordial, and smiled at everyone:
"I'm sorry, guys, Abel, I think we should talk."
"Hehe, of course, I'm looking forward to it. Sorry guys. ”
Abel smiled and raised his glass to everyone, and after taking a sip, he nodded at Little Laura, who was not far away.
and the two old guys, under the gaze of those who have a heart, slowly walked up to the second floor.
The décor is simple and heavy.
Abel sat opposite David Rockefeller and John Chris Morgun, separated by a small round table, in a triangle, on comfortable semicircular-backed chairs.
"Thank you. But I don't smoke......"
Abel declined David Rockphil's cigar and shook his head with a smile.
This scene, if others knew about it, even the heads of those wealthy families would be very surprised.
The core of the Rockefeller family, dedicated to roasted cigars......
Even the president of the United States, or the head of the Federal Reserve, will never dare to refuse.
"Hah, that's true. Everyone says that Mr. Smith doesn't smoke, and that seems to be true. ”
John Chris Morgun said with a smile.
David Rockphil didn't look angry, and took the cigar back to smoke it himself, and didn't bake it for John Chrass.
The latter is already roasting itself.
"Young people, we don't have to go around in circles. How about we do a share exchange? We want a stake in Smith Financial Group. ”
David Rockphile, who lit the cigar, squinted his eyes slightly in the smoke, and said straight to the point.
