The day Abel returned to New York.
at dusk.
Manhattan Island.
New York University, in the student apartment on the Manhattan campus.
Facing Li Xinyu who was dressed up in front of her.
Little Laura was also very beautifully dressed, and couldn't help but look at her best friend again—
Little Laura felt that her best friend seemed to have become much prettier after returning to China this time and returning to New York.
Although the appearance has not changed much, it seems that the face seems to have grown a little.
But after returning this time, little Laura felt that Li Xinyu's temperament was completely different.
But Little Laura couldn't say much about the difference.
No matter how smart she is, she is still young and has only that experience.
Li Xinyu's change from a girl to a woman is a change in temperament.
Little Laura couldn't perceive it for a while.
"...do you really want me to go?"
Little Laura was still in deep thought when she heard Li Xinyu say:
"Are you sure you want me to accompany you? You can go with Abel, right? In what capacity should I go with you..."
Hearing what Li Xinyu said, little Laura laughed.
"Just my friend or girlfriend. God, if you don't come with me. I feel terrible just thinking about it."
Little Laura said: "At that time, the whole scene will be full of old women in their 50s or even 60s. They may all surround me. God knows how much pressure I will have. You can go with me. If you have a companion, I think it might be better."
Li Xinyu thought about it carefully, and felt that it was the same.
Tonight, I had a good cooperation with Abel in Han Country a few days ago.
George Soros, who didn't know how much money he made, invited Abel and little Laura to a reception.
Said that this reception is a small-scale, internal reception.
According to Soros' words, it is "This is a reception for our friends..."
The old guy has already hinted clearly.
This is likely to be a reception inside the Oilers where Abel is invited.
The reception needs to bring a female companion, and little Laura is also on the list of being invited.
Little Laura has participated in many kinds of receptions, but she has not participated in a reception dominated by oil people.
After all, her background made it difficult for her to gain the trust of oil people
If it weren't for Abel who went deep into Wall Street, became the leader of Wall Street alone, and was entrenched in New York.
As one of the representatives of Texas, the Shrub family really can't **** with the oil man.
But many times, there is no conflict between the two sides. Even many times, there are opportunities for close cooperation.
So now that there is this kind of contact opportunity, the two parties are more willing to get close.
It's just that no matter how smart little Laura is, she will not turn 17 until after the Chinese New Year.
I feel a lot of pressure to face dozens of oily old women alone.
She told Abel about the pressure, and Abel asked her to take Li Xinyu there.
Two people together are better than little Laura facing so many old women alone, and the pressure may be a little less.
Having a support around you is good anyway.
Little Laura thought the idea was good, so she invited Li Xinyu.
Li Xinyu readily agreed, and the two returned to the campus and began to dress up.
A little later, Abel's motorcade will come to pick them up, and they will attend the reception held by Soros together.
The two of them are just dressing up now.
Li Xinyu just came back today, and they have only been together for a few hours now.
Little Laura always feels that something has changed in her best friend, but she doesn't say much about it.
Li Xinyu had some chemical changes in her identity.
Even if there is little Laura by her side, it cannot be justified. Maybe I was very happy to accompany Abel to the reception.
"That's it. I won't leave you when the time comes, so just don't leave me." Li Xinyu said with a smile.
Little Laura nodded, and the two continued to dress up.
After about half an hour, I finished dressing up.
The two left the apartment with the help of bodyguards, attendants, and assistants.
In the Manhattan campus of New York University.
Immediately, two bright roses swaying in the cold wind walked.
Many New York University students watched them from a distance.
"...Hey, it's Jessica and Laura. They're so beautiful, they're so grandly dressed. I don't know what party they're going to."
"Don't be delusional. It has nothing to do with us anyway. That's Abel Smith's man!"
"It's not okay to fantasize? Freedom of public opinion, fantasy is also free!"
"hehe…"
Similar conversations happened among many male students at New York University.
For young Laura and Li Xinyu, young female students who are beautiful, have a good figure, and are also from extraordinary backgrounds in the two campuses.
Some people in the school have never been tempted or have no idea.
After all, in the United States, there are generally only two types of people who can enter a good university.
One is the master of learning, the true future elite of human beings who come here abruptly by relying on their super learning ability.
The other is to rely on family background or connections, which are similar things anyway, descendants of elite families who come in through class.
These two kinds of people, no matter their temperament or vision, can be said to be relatively good.
People like this can also see how extraordinary Little Laura and Li Xinyu are.
At the beginning of this year, when the two first came in.
There are many people, actions have been taken against them.
But it was okay to find Li Xinyu, she just smiled gently, and then politely refused. Too many times, just ignore it.
Won't embarrass suitors too much, just let them down.
Looking for little Laura, she simply didn't speak, and stared at him with eyes that ordinary people couldn't describe.
Under her eyes, few men can hold on.
That was a look that Abel was a little uncomfortable with at the beginning.
It's like the eyes of a Parisian aristocrat who has a long heritage in the era of the Sun King in Paris in Europe, looking at a bumpkin London brother.
This invisible lethality oppresses a man's self-esteem more than anything else.
Many people are gradually afraid to look for little Laura.
There are also people who do not follow the rules and want to play tricks.
At this time, the elite agents of the U.S. Secret Service and the elite staff of Rock Security will teach each other what the rules are.
Later, after the 9/11 incident, Abel Smith appeared more and more times on the Manhattan campus.
Many people realized that these two bright roses belonged to him...
After that, there were gradually fewer people who had ideas and took action.
There are still rumors in the back of the campus, saying that two or three male students have disappeared from the Manhattan campus for several months this year.
It is said that these people have pursued little Laura and Li Xinyu but failed, and became angry and uttered wild words, or did something bad.
These two or three people, on certain windy and dark nights.
It was taken away from the campus by some people, thrown into an oil drum, poured into cement and sank to the bottom of Manhattan Bay.
It doesn't matter whether the rumor is true or not.
The key is that everyone knows that someone really has the ability to make a young student disappear without a trace.
Even if the student's family background is very good.
After all, you can't mess with local snakes if you mess with anyone.
And although someone is an out-of-state in New York.
But he is in New York, and now he is one of the biggest and most terrifying local snakes!
This is indisputable.
After the rumors came out, Li Xinyu and little Laura became the thorny roses on the Manhattan campus who could only be seen from a distance but not approached.
At this moment, I watched the two people dressed up and walked outside.
The students who saw it, at most, whispered a few words.
No one dares to have any ideas or take any actions.
Little Laura and Li Xinyu sat in the Cadillac monster waiting outside.
It was different from when Li Fuzhen was here. Now that little Laura is here, Abel can only sit on the side obediently.
Little Laura sat in the middle, and Li Xinyu sat on the other side.
"It's so beautiful." After the two entered, Abel praised:
"Two beautiful ladies, it is my greatest honor to ride with you!"
When Abel said that they were beautiful, it was not a compliment at all.
It is completely sincere, because the two people dressed up are really beautiful.
Little Laura is wearing a pink off-the-shoulder chiffon dress with a cute bow at the waist and layers of lace embellishing the beautiful skirt. Long blonde curly hair falls to the shoulders.
This attire not only brought out the advantages of her age, but also showed her temperament that can only be cultivated by several generations of big families.
Just seeing her, one knows that this is a noble girl with a good family upbringing, a typical traditional aristocratic girl.
Don't say that there were no nobles in the United States two hundred years ago.
What the United States does not have is just titles, titles, etc. of nobility.
But there should be a lot of class, education, and social differentiation.
Even worse than in the Middle Ages in Europe.
In medieval Europe, civilians at least had the hope of climbing up through the knight class.
In the United States, there are not even "knights" left.
The separation from top to bottom is very serious, almost two worlds.
In this case, it is a joke to say that there is no aristocracy in the United States and everyone is equal.
Compared with Little Laura's more traditional and immature dress.
Li Xinyu's outfit today is a bit more mature.
She permed her long black hair into long curly hair today.
Then loosely **** with pure white lace, the swirling pure blue skirt blooms a subtle fragrance under the light.
His eyes are bright and radiant, and the unique nourishing breath of a first-time woman makes her look young and sensual again, and it blends the femininity of a young woman with the purity of a girl.
Looking at these two girls, Abel felt that they could only be described as "peerless double pride".
More importantly, this peerless pair of prides belong to him!
A male-specific machismo, as well as that sense of possession, made him proud.
The three of them chatted in low voices and followed the convoy forward.
"... Soros would like to thank me this time. Without me, his financial statement this year might be ugly. It was me at the end of the year that made him earn hundreds of millions of dollars. Let his financial statement look better than last year ."
Talking about Soros, Abel talked eloquently.
This Hanguo stock market incident can be said to be a win for all parties, and many people are very happy.
Now at the end of 2001, everyone has made an extra fortune.
Let everyone have a better life this year.
Among them, Soros and some international hot money earned at least four billion US dollars this time.
is one of the factions that earn the most money.
But they also contributed a lot. The entire Wall Street and the international community, during this period, were optimistic about the stock market and the economy in Hanoi, all initiated by these people.
What Ernst & Young, Moody's, these are Soros and his international hot money contacts.
It's just that this part of the forces has the largest number of people.
The profit of more than 4 billion US dollars is divided, and one person may get hundreds of millions of dollars.
The other part of the people who earn more are the local chaebols in the country of Han.
Without the help of these hyenas in the "Han Country Small Grassland", without their words of fuel.
How can the lovely leeks on the grassland thrive?
How could he be so impatient to show his head, sticking out his head to be cut off by others?
The local chaebols of Han, big and small, also got a big share of the pie this time.
Abel expects their profits to be about the same as Soros's.
Distributed to each chaebol, the more may be hundreds of billions of won, and the less may be tens of billions of won.
It can be said that everyone is happy. As for Abel... Well, as the initiator, of course he also has to pay a little hard work.
He didn't take much, just as much as Han's local chaebols and Soros.
The difference is that many of them share it together, and Abel does not need to share it with others.
After the whole incident, the only ones that were damaged were the wallets, bank cards, and blue houses of Han Guo stockholders.
Especially the latter, I tried my best to stop it in the early stage, but it turned out to be useless.
In the later period, something really went wrong, and angry and brainless people took to the streets.
Qing Fangfang had to come out to wipe pi buttocks again, and support Hanguo's stock market, which is actually very healthy.
It can be said that Commander Kim really worked hard.
Seeing Abel's few words, he simply finished the thrilling thing that should have been written into a novel or made into a movie.
I heard him say that he made more than 4 billion US dollars within 10 days of going to Hanguo.
Having gotten used to him in the financial market, killing and killing, the two girls who went from one victory to another were a little numb.
It seems that to them, it is no news that Abel makes money, a lot of money.
If Abel fails to make money or loses money one day, they may be more surprised.
Compared with this matter, the two are more concerned about the next reception.
The place where Soros held the reception is not far from the Manhattan campus of New York University.
The convoy soon arrived and was held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
Four Seasons Hotel is considered the smallest and freshest among the top luxury hotels.
The founder, Isadore Sharp, is a very pure oilman.
In fact, oil people are also influential in the hotel industry all over the world.
Super hotel empires like Hyatt and Starwood were created by oilmen. Design hotel godfather Ian Schrager is also an Oiler.
The Four Seasons, which has redefined the rules of the luxury hotel game, and the peninsula, which has been operating gracefully for a century and a half, successfully gave birth to the rookie luxury hotel SET, the Amsterdam Conservatory Hotel and the London Royal Cafe, are all created by oil people.
It can only be said that the infiltration of oilmen in the world has long been pervasive.
The convoy stopped at the entrance of the Four Seasons Hotel in Midtown Manhattan.
The red carpet has long been spread from the hotel entrance to the hotel pick-up and drop-off area.
There are also relevant personnel, who have already made preparations for the reception.
The arrival of Abel, Li Xinyu, and little Laura was also welcomed by these people.
Afterwards, relevant personnel led the three of them to the venue where the reception was held upstairs.
In the elevator hall near the elevator exit, wait for Abel to appear.
George Soros, who had already received the news, had brought many people to meet him at the entrance of the elevator hall.
As soon as the elevator door opened, what Abel saw was a large group of oilmen with smiles on their faces.
The leader is Soros. After seeing Abel, the sword of Wall Street laughed loudly and shouted:
"Hey, my friend, welcome to my drinking party!"
Abel walked over with a smile and hugged him, "Thank you for your reception, George."
Naturally, the next step is greetings and self-introduction.
Ladies, there are rules for ladies. Little Laura and Li Xinyu have already been surrounded by Soros and their wives.
Abel's side, Soros led him inside, while introducing the oil people around him.
"…Mr. David Rene Rothschild, the current chairman of Rothschild, a multinational investment bank and financial services company."
"…Mr. Michael Dell, Chairman of Dell Corporation."
"…Mr. Leo Melamed, Permanent Chairman Emeritus of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange."
"…Bernard Oss, Chief Executive Director, Western Financial Corporation."
"..."
Every time Soros introduced one, Abel smiled and shook hands with each other.
These people also smiled, shook hands and nodded to him.
Many people here, Abel has seen them. In various receptions or occasions.
But like today, it is the first time that Soros is the middleman in a more grand introduction.
After experiencing today's situation, it can be said that the two parties have become acquainted people.
It can be regarded as the formation of some kind of real network, rather than the previous simple nodding acquaintance.
And everyone here has a common identity.
That's why they're all Oilers.
is parasitic on the United States, a special caste class in this super-large and powerful version of India-the constituents of the American Brahmin.
At the back, even people like Alan Greenspan appeared.
Abel understood that the reception tonight was really big.
Even if the number of people is not very large, if you don't count the female guests, there are probably more than 30 to 40 people.
This is a little refreshing in the upper-class reception where there are hundreds of people at every turn.
It is also possible that this is Soros, the main contact in the Oilers.
Because obviously, the oil man is obviously more than that.
At least he has a good relationship with Abel, and Michael Bloomberg, who is also very high in the Oilers, did not show up today.
In other words, there are already so many people who are just a part of the Oilers' top forces.
If only all the oil giants showed up.
If these people can unite as one.
It may really be able to shake the country to a certain extent, or even a certain order or situation in the entire world.
