Chapter 542: The Feast of the Country
The dinner was typically Western-style, formal, upper-class, and even the music began with a cocktail reception, with three bands playing in the hallway, in the courtyard, and in front of the main entrance of the banquet hall. Violins, cellos, orchestras, etc., are traditional, formal, and suitable for cocktail parties and dinners.
As the dinner draws to a close, it will eventually be the most popular dinner in Washington and New York for the next few days, and it will be the least popular one that many people want to attend, not for the occasion of some delicious food, but a big gathering full of games, power, wealth, etc.
The ladies at the banquet gathered together with sweet wine and smiling and chatting about the gossip and fashion of high society, but these women still casually swept their eyes to a corner, as if they were curious to explore something.
There were two girls standing there, one was the hostess for the evening, Kayla Wilson.
Another is very famous in New York, she is the granddaughter of Manhattan prosecutor Robert Morgenthau, and the genius and beautiful prosecutor Peggy Morgenthau of the New York area.
Kayla was really happy tonight, with a slightly drunken flush on her fair face and a charming smile on her eyes.
At this moment, she gently shook the red wine glass in her hand, her tall, plump and delicate body carried a charming and mature charm, and the fair-skinned and slender beauty that was exposed through the slit made anyone can't help but take a few more looks.
When she came to Peggy Morgenthau, she had already met the other women at the banquet tonight as an Abel woman.
It wasn't until now that she took the initiative to come to Peggy, who hadn't moved much all night and had been quiet.
It could be for a demonstration, or it could be for something else.
"Hello, Miss Morgenthau." Kayla smiled, she wasn't really very hostile to Peggy.
Not even as big as little Laura, because Kayla knows she doesn't have to target Peggy. That's the bush chick thing, and Peggy Morgenthau had the hope of marrying Abel, and that's before, it's the bush thing.
has nothing to do with her, her family environment is doomed, and she will most likely not marry Abel.
Even if she meets Abel before Laura and Peggy.
Even if Wilson wanted to, the California consortium wouldn't want the princess of California to marry a Texas kid.
They would rather her be single, and they would rather her give Abel a favor. Nor can two women be allowed to have a marriage.
Since it can't be Abel's main palace, there's no point in being hostile to Peggy.
Kayla is more curious about Peggy, curious about what kind of woman it is, so that Abel still can't forget it, but at the same time, he has never started.
Because he even dares to touch a woman of his own status, and the other party's identity and family background are not as good as his own, there is no reason why he would be willing to let Peggy go.
"Hello, Miss Wilson." Faced with Kayla, who is obviously drunk and has a curious face, Peggy responds with a surge.
Kayla looked at her like this, and felt as if she understood.
I understand why Abel has a crush on Peggy, but he never starts.
Because the young lady of the Morgenthau family in front of her is a rare cold family in the wealthy circle, coupled with her super high IQ and external performance, it is easy to give people a feeling of "fairy".
This temperament is easy to attract men, but many times it can also make men a little in awe.
Peggy is too smart to see through everything. And men in addition to appearance, many times actually prefer silly women.
Peggy Morgenthau is not.
With this curiosity in mind, Kayla and Peggy struck up a conversation.
This scene fell on the female guests tonight, which was naturally particularly eye-catching, so that this group of women who were ladies, celebrities, and celebrities who were actually gossipy in their hearts had to pay attention to the two of them.
On the other hand, the "strangers" around Abel have gradually left to expand their own social circles.
Most of the people who remained by his side at the moment were core members of the Hydra Gang.
"I noticed. D. Ted Lerner spent the whole night with those two third brothers. ”
Warren Buffett, who was holding a glass of red wine but didn't drink much all night, suddenly changed his mind when everyone was chatting about the economic situation in Asia.
Hearing what the stock god said, Soros, who was discussing with Abel whether he could launch a new sniper on the currency of Hong Kong Island, stopped talking and looked in the direction of Buffett, where D. Ted Lerner was indeed chatting with the two third brothers and looked very happy.
Not only Soros, after Buffett said this, everyone's eyes looked at Abel.
Everyone in New York knows that D. Ted Lerner is not a good deal, but his daughter is very favored.
She is the woman who has given birth to the most children for Abel so far. At the same time, Abel was also more friendly to D. Ted Lerner than the others.
And D. Ted Lerner himself, who has never been very cold to foreigners, was surprisingly friendly tonight, and chatted so happily with the two third brothers.
And everyone knows that Abel actually doesn't have much business on the third brother's side, but tonight he invited these two third brothers, who are not very valued by Americans, over.
The members of the Hydra Gang who are familiar with Abel's personality have long been speculating about what Abel is trying to do.
Now that Warren Buffett has brought this matter out first, everyone naturally wants to know what Abel means.
Facing everyone's gaze, Abel smiled, thinking that the old fox was the old fox.
The banquet of so many people can actually pay attention to such a "small thing".
"It's nothing, it's just that I'm more optimistic about the third brother. I think it can develop well in the future, and it is a new big market. ”
He opened his mouth and said, "Plus I went to the third brother last time and met the two brothers. Thinking about it, I invited them over to see if we could work together over there. ”
At this time, Soros stood up and said:
"Third brother? The market does look big, and the potential is not even lost to Huaxia. The problem is that the national conditions of that ghost place are even more outrageous than those of China. It is said to be a dish-boiled country, but the control and hostility to foreign capital are even more exaggerated than those of China. Are you sure it's a really good place? ”
Soros was more subtle, but Abel knew what he was trying to say.
That's the ghost place of the third brother, and it's really outrageous to foreign capital.
One sentence can be summed up - "The third brother makes money, the third brother spends, don't want to take a penny home." ”
There was an example from a few years ago.
POSCO, a global iron ore and steel producer, is one of the world's leading iron ore and steel producers. In 1996, it invested billions of dollars in the construction of a steel plant in Sange.
At the beginning of construction, the third brother behaved like a friendliness and gave whatever he wanted.
Even the former middle-level engineers of the POSCO faction can become the guests of honor of the leaders of the third brother and are invited to a state banquet together.
Various tax cuts have also been given, anyway, it looks like a crazy licking of foreign capital.
Then, when the Han Guoren factory was almost built, more than half of the investment was invested.
The third brother has changed.
First of all, environmental pollution and other problems jumped out, and the Sange authorities immediately fined the steel plant.
Then the right policy said that there was no one, and he didn't even give a reason.
Two years later, after the factory was built, the third brother directly demanded that POSCO close the factory on the grounds that it was too polluting.
This time, the situation was exhausted, and even the opportunity to pay the fine was not given, which directly affected POSCO's business in Sange, and had to sell the steel plant cheaply to Sange's local steel giant......
Except for the Han people, Europe and the United States are not pleasing to the third brother.
Walmart and Carrefour are two international retail giants, one belonging to the Americans and the other to the French.
They all have operations in Sange. However, the Sanko authorities have been regulating and restricting their sales, operations, taxes, etc.
For example, the Sanko authorities have restricted foreign investors' shareholding and business models in the local commercial retail sector, and imposed some additional taxes on these companies.
In addition, the Sange Zhengfu has also investigated and fined these companies for their sales, advertising, promotion and other behaviors.
The proportion of fines is also very clever, just above the line of letting these companies go or stay.
And not only that, all the international giants who tried to put their tentacles into the territory of the third brother all suffered the losses of the third brother.
After the development of parallel time and space, the third brother authorities can even directly create on the spot in order to fine foreign capital, and can also learn from the new laws in the past, just to be fined......
Such an outrageous business environment naturally makes foreign capital love and hate the third brother.
What I love is its super large population, forming a super market. The hate is that it's just outrageous in terms of business.
These things, as long as you are a business giant or a Wall Street giant, can be said to be very clear.
That's why Soros asked.
Abel naturally knows these things. As a reborn, he also knew that the third brother would become more and more outrageous in this regard in the future.
The Europeans and Americans have paid the tuition, and the Han people and the neon people continue to pay.
These first developed countries have paid it, and the Chinese people who are not familiar with the world will also pay a large amount of tuition fees.
In this regard, the third brother really treats everyone equally. It doesn't matter if you are in Europe and the United States, or neon, Han or Huaxia, all of them will be punished.
Abel knows all this, but he still said this, naturally for a reason.
"Yes, there are many aspects to that place, and it's really not cooking."
Able smiled and spoke, "But we can do this." Like what...... Why don't you invite those excellent Sange companies to list in New York? ”
"Huh?" When Soros heard him say this, he immediately looked at him with great interest.
Buffett said: "What you say is indeed a solution, but the problem is that their authorities are often unreasonable. ”
This means that even if the excellent companies of the third brother really come to Wall Street to be listed, they will be obtained by everyone by various means.
With the urine nature of the third brother authorities, the other party did such a thing as not admitting it.
"The third brother is also an elected government." Abel continued to say implicitly: "Maybe we can invite some excellent third brothers and let them share our glory. Then we will be allies. ”
Since they are allies, of course everyone must communicate with each other. You have shared our glory, and you yourself have to give us something to share the profit, right?
Hearing Abel say this, many of the sharp-thinking giants present had their eyes lit up.
This is indeed a solution, and the feasibility is higher than that of the third brother alone.
"I plan to donate money to establish a Lyss University in Mumbai on the third brother's side."
Abel continued to throw out part of his plan, "At that time, this school will give those excellent third brothers the opportunity to study." Those who excel in it can go to our own school in the United States for further study. ”
Hearing that Abel even had this kind of plan, everyone's interest was aroused.
In fact, for the third brother, there is no European and American consortium that is not interested.
It occupies such a good geographical location, is still so rich in resources, and has a large population, but it has developed into that bird-like.
But seriously, a lot of times that's a relieving snake.
Forced by the international situation, you can't be rude, but you can't be rude and have no choice but to get the other party to cheat, it's just chicken ribs.
And now Abel's method is obviously to start from within the third brother.
This practice of diving into the night with the wind seems to be very successful.
"But as far as I know, almost all of them have arrived in Europe or the United States. I don't want to go back, how to solve this problem. Bloomberg said suddenly.
The question is poignant, and it is true.
A lot of people were nodding their heads, because Bloomberg was really talking about the shortcomings of Abel's plan.
"Interests." Abel spat out such a word.
"The third brother will desperately want to stay in Europe or the United States because of interests. But if there is a greater interest, I think they will be happy to go back to their home country to do things. What do you think? ”
Hearing Abel say this, Bloomberg nodded, thinking that it was indeed Abel's usual style of acting - very good at playing with equal interests, attracting people with interests, and making others happy to rally around him.
"Alright, everybody."
Abel smiled and continued, "This is just an idea of mine, and I'm trying. It's going to be a long-lasting, slow-to-start idea, but if it works, the results will be very gratifying. ”
"I'll do it in the early stage, once there is really a profit. I won't forget you, and I'm sure everyone believes in me. Of course, when I need your help at the right time, don't forget it. ”
"No problem." Warren Buffett was the first to respond.
"Well, I'll listen to you."
"I'm in favor of it too."
"Not a bad idea."
“……”
The members of the Hydra Gang immediately all stood up to take a stand.
And that's what Abel needs. Now that he has achieved his goal, he naturally shows a happy smile.
Slowly, it was late at night. The dinner has also come to an end, and some guests have chosen to leave.
The guests began to leave, and the Hydra Gang secret meeting ended, and a group of people left the manor together.
Kayla hugged some of the ladies goodbye, while Able waved goodbye to her friends.
When it was his turn to say goodbye to Peggy, the atmosphere became a little strange.
Unlike other guests, including female guests. Abel took the initiative to pose as a veneer salute, and Peggy was stunned and immediately cooperated.
After parting, Abel only felt that her skin was very smooth and delicate, and then she left with Robert with a complicated expression.
"Humph!"
Hearing Kayla's coquettish snort, Abel couldn't help but laugh, reached out and grabbed Kayla's slender waist and returned to the manor surrounded by bodyguards.
He didn't bother to explain, when facing his own woman. Abel has always held the initiative, even strong women like Kayla and Yin Kana.
Compared to these crown diamonds, he was now more concerned about what D. Ted Lerner was talking about with the third brother.
This is related to his layout in a few years, or even more than ten years later, and I have to pay attention to it.
I just don't know if this thing will work out, because that hell place is really amazing a lot of the time.
