"My success, talent, cunning, and luck, cannot be replicated."

This quote comes from the White House Journalists' Association Gala Dinner on October 11, 2003.

Abel said this in front of more than a thousand guests, when George, the Grand Commander of the White House, smiled and asked him about the secret of his success.

Yes, more than two months have passed.

Abel stayed on Hong Kong Island until August 20, when he left Huaxia territory and went to Singapore again.

After a few days there, he went on another trip to the de facto American colony, the Philippines.

It was not until the end of August that he returned to the United States.

September 2003 was uneventful for Abel. Except for September 11, when he continued to be the chief speaker for the 9/11 incident, as is customary.

The rest of the time, it is to deal with the processing work, to accompany the woman and the child for a while, and to accompany the woman and the child for a while, and live a full, happy and dull life.

In the blink of an eye, the time has come to October.

He spent the entire month in New York.

At the beginning of October, Abel went to Los Angeles to continue to care about his new energy business and Jobs, who had already begun to prepare for the mobile phone launch.

On October 10th, his plane departed from Los Angeles and arrived at Washington, the capital of the most powerful empire ever built by mankind.

This year's White House Journalists' Association Gala Dinner was held on October 11th.

The annual White House Journalists' Association Gala Dinner was held this year at the InterContinental Washington Hotel.

At this traditional social event of Washington News and Zhengjie, the annual self-deprecating speech of the US President is bound to be a big "selling point."

The White House Journalists' Association dinner has a long history, dating back to 1921, when 50 White House journalists gathered to celebrate the inauguration of their new master, and it was just a small industry dinner.

It was a dinner party that was once seen by outsiders as a "nerd prom". Today, however, the dinner tradition has evolved from a small gathering of a few dozen people to an annual event attended by more than 1,000 people.

The process is basically that the commander gives a speech, celebrities from all walks of life walk the red carpet, but there are fewer and fewer real "nerd" reporters.

In the past, in order to be invited to the White House Journalists' Dinner, you had to work for a newspaper, magazine, news agency, radio, television, or other broadcasting organization, news aggregator.

Secondly, the applicant's main job is to attend various press conferences to cover the White House, and finally he must be a content editor. If you meet the above requirements, you will be eligible to submit the application form.

However, more and more seats are now being controlled by media outlets, which are reserved for the big bosses of the company or the advertisers they depend on. And the dinner party has gradually "tasted".

Now it has become a fashion feast, and the red carpet is not lost to the Oscar red carpet, film and television stars want to get close to the president and Huasheng Dun Lao, and reporters want to interview film and television stars. That ticket also seemed to become a symbol of status, like a group of high school students throwing a party, except that the most powerful people in the world were also in the room.

So this is also the reason why Ahei, who has always been very polite and has always looked gentlemanly, will attack MAGA in public.

Since George came to power, he has held three such banquets in a row. In the first two times, Abel was actually invited, but those two times he happened to be abroad, once in England and once in France.

With the addition of this banquet, it looks very high, but in fact...... That's it.

When Americans mentioned the banquet, everyone saw the photos: a five-star general in a ceremonial dress and a comedy superstar laughing at each other, and media bigwigs paying tribute to the radiant young actress.

But in fact, if you pull back the camera, the charisma of the banquet drops dramatically - they are in a hotel ballroom about the size of an airplane hangar, with at least 1,000 other people present, and there is even a super scale of more than 2,600 people in the back.

The so-called White House Journalists' Association Dinner, Fark, which is not held at all, is not held at the White House.

Moreover, a room full of "elites" of all stripes often do strange things.

In 1999, when Tom Cruise walked through the hallways of the hotel, where the banquet was held, he was overwhelmed by the crowd of onlookers. To make matters worse, in 2001, a group of people gathered around Britney Spears' table, pointing, staring, or whispering and laughing.

In a way, it's really not as lofty as its name sounds, but rather a bit like a vegetable market for America's upper-class elite.

At least a banquet attended by thousands of people, one person speaking a sentence is a thousand words, and its noisy and lively degree can be imagined, which is more vegetable market than the general vegetable market.

So it's important, and that's it.

However, Abel has time this time, and he also happens to come to Washington to attend the last Fed meeting of the year.

George extended him another invitation, and he accepted the invitation to attend the White House Correspondents' Association dinner in 2003.

George was very happy about this, and pulled him to talk non-stop, and the words were several times more than in the previous two years.

After the speech, he simply handed him the microphone, George himself was a reporter, and drank two more glasses of the general leader's grinning "interview" Abel, which seemed to be truly the essence of the "annual dinner of the journalists' association", and at this moment the general leaders became reporters.

The first question asked by the Commander-in-Chief reporter is a question that almost all Americans are very concerned about, but no one has actually asked or received a positive response from Abel until now.

"Dear Mr. Smith, how did you manage to be so successful? Is there a way to imitate or learn from you? ”

Well, in fact, Commander George incarnated as a reporter to interview Mr. Abel Smith, and this scene was actually acted.

The specific process and answers, the two had already rehearsed before the dinner.

In terms of the Zhengzhi show, Washington is much more rigorous and professional than Hollywood scripts!

Of course, it refers to the acting skills.

And Abel's answer, according to the careful design of the think tank think tanks, is the previous sentence at the beginning.

The answer to this sentence is actually a bit of a panacea, and it seems to be answered, but in fact it is not.

But seriously, Abel actually thinks this sentence is very true.

He himself knows better than anyone that his success, in addition to financial talent, is more critical to the origin and background he already has.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to rise so quickly and smoothly.

Otherwise, when he was still the "wolf of Wall Street", any giant on Wall Street could destroy him in advance.

If it weren't for the fear of him being a Texan, there would be the National Rifle Association and the Smith family's identity related to the bush.

Then he may have hit the street in the first few times, when he won millions or tens of millions of dollars in profits with tens of thousands of dollars.

This is not alarmist, as Wall Street exemplified this year.

In January, a retail investor named Andrew Carlson was detained and interrogated by U.S. financial regulators on suspicion of insider trading.

This person's experience is even more exaggerated than Abel's, and it is said that he made a total of 126 high-risk stock investments in just two weeks, using a mere $800 principal to make a profit of $350 million, more than 430,000 times the capital.

After being captured, the guy claimed to be a time traveler from the year 2256. Many people suspected that he had lied to avoid insider dealing, but two months later, Andrew's trial came to an abrupt end, as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

Of course, the FBI and the SEC have denied the news, saying that the story is pure joke.

In fact, as one of the people behind Wall Street, Abel knew that this man's experience was true, at least Andrew Carlson really made such a transaction.

But Abel didn't know if he was able to do this because he was as "talented" as himself, or because he had opened other similar hangings.

It's just that his fate is very bad, and the news about him in the media is suddenly gone.

Secretly, Abel knew that this guy had become a laboratory sample of many DNA materials and was sent to more than 2,000 laboratories across the United States.

There is no place for people to die, and Andrew has thousands of places to be buried.

Even Adam and Eve of Abel were given more than a dozen copies of these experimental samples......

Abel didn't know if this guy was so unlucky in parallel time and space. But this guy's experience made him call it a fluke after he knew.

Luckily, I knew that I was clumsy at the beginning, and I didn't really make an exaggeration of a few hundred dollars to earn tens of millions of dollars in a few days, but slowly used tens of thousands of dollars in half a year to earn 200 million, and then relied on these two hundred million to make a fortune with the help of the NASDAQ bubble.

Tens of thousands of dollars to earn 200 million in half a year Although it is also an exaggeration, Wall Street did have similar wizards before him.

It's these geniuses who will either hit the streets in the market or just disappear into the crowd.

But $800 earns hundreds of millions in two weeks, which is too exaggerated.

I really don't want people to pay attention, especially when there is already an Abel Smith in front of me.

Those guys definitely don't want to have an Andrew Carlson anymore, so even if this guy is really a reborn or some other cheater.

If you don't hide it, you can only end it directly.

And that's exactly what happened.

So Abel now knows that his background and background really helped him a lot at the beginning.

At the same time, after earning the first pot of gold and making a name for himself on Wall Street, it is also important to decisively marry the bush family that is on the rise through the relationship between Alex and Herbert.

At that time, if he hadn't touched the light of the bushes, it would definitely not have gone so well.

Of course, it is also the light of his own rapid rise.

He rose too fast, allowing him to grow into a new behemoth with lightning speed under the watchful eye of monsters, avoiding being divided and eaten by many forces.

Otherwise, with the pyramid class solidified in the United States, Abel's cheating rise would have been eliminated long ago.

Just like that hapless Andrew Carlson.

Do you really think that you will be invincible if you are reborn or open? Unless you're driving a DC Superman hanging, one person can hang the world.

Hanging on the reality side, after all, we still have to pay attention to the rules of reality.

If he had been as high-profile and eager as this Andrew Carlson at that time, then he would not be able to stand here and act with George as a giant in the country, and pretend to be X in front of the elite celebrities and media in the United States.

"It was the happiest dinner I've ever had."

After the acting is over and the banquet officially begins.

George came down, still smiling and very relaxed, and chuckled softly at Abel and little Laura beside him, as well as his own wife.

"You're going to come every year from now on, so it's a happy deal!"

Usually when facing friends and relatives, the public image of the serious general leader is actually a very easy-going and humorous, and even somewhat out of tune.

When I say things like this to Abel now, it's a little childish.

Able shrugged, "Yes, yes, but I ask you to give me the gig." Acting like this feels even harder than Hollywood, and you have to memorize so many lines and points! ”

"Hahahaha...... George laughed heartily, "The stage of life is originally full of dramas, if you can play your life well, then you can succeed in anything." ”

"It's meaningful, but that's not an excuse for you not to have to pay a fee!"

"Haha......" George laughed heartily again, and then made an excuse to slip away with his wife immediately: "Besides, I'll be busy tonight." You have to take care of little Laura, let's go get busy first, see you later~"

After speaking, with a somewhat helpless expression, the lady went to entertain those guests who needed him to entertain.

Little Laura watched Uncle leave amusedly, and when Abel turned around to look at him, he smiled and said, "He's like this, and you don't know." ”

Abel smiled, didn't speak, and reached out to lean in on her a little to make her more comfortable.

Little Laura noticed his thoughtfulness, and with a little sweetness in her heart, she whispered, "Speaking of which, dear." Does this seem like the first time we've been to a public dinner together? ”

Abel thought to himself that it was, but he knew that the dinner was not public.

Later, or tomorrow, when the media reports on it, he will appear Abel Smith. But because of his request, there will never be a bush woman next to Abel Smith.

This is the tacit understanding between him and the bush family, and it is also the bottom line that he and his kind know each other.

Before no one breaks the bottom line, even his competitors will help him cover up.

Little Laura's emotion and excitement are only half of the success at best.

She was the woman who was destined to hide in Smith's shadow.

She may not not know, but she is helpless when she knows, or she can only choose to be satisfied.

At least in front of these guys, in front of the American elite, he is willing to admit her identity.

What else can she do when the sunk cost is so big that her child is a year old? Of course, it's all up to him.

At least he respects himself very much, and none of his other women came tonight, only himself.

Little Laura was quite satisfied with this, and it was okay to see that he didn't answer, and smiled sweetly and pulled him up in the banquet scene, wanting to get closer to the Alexander couple and Neil couple.

In this kind of showy place, of course, two members of Congress who are in need of votes will also appear.

George just pulled Abel to act in front of him, and they all went to work in their own circles.

Because of the well-known in-laws in its circle, even if a donkey and an elephant are gathered together, it does not seem abrupt.

Even the centrists and moderates within Donkey and Elephant took the two of them as a link, and formed a small circle around the two of them this evening.

Little Laura knew that her husband was attractive to those people, and she wanted to bring him over so that she could also help her father-in-law and father.

But before he got closer, someone greeted Abel loudly through Edward and his bodyguards, who had also followed.

Little Laura looked over and saw that it was a white man in his thirties with a square face, shouting "BOSS" to Abel.

Little Laura looked at Abel suspiciously, she knew all of Abel's important henchmen, but she didn't know this.

Abel himself was stunned, he didn't know much about this guy.

But this guy's face was familiar to him many times before he was reborn.

Because this guy's name is Elon Musk.
