America's Road to Wealth

".Arwen (Arwen), the woodland elf and princess of the Evening Star, surrender to the power of the devil Sauron!!"

"No, I will never give in!! Aragorn, save me, help me!"

"Ha~ It's useless. Arwen, fall for the Demon King Sauron!!"

"No, no. No, Aragorn, help, help. Ah, whoever it is, father, the king of the woodland elves, or the queen of the woodland elves, mother, help me, help me."

"."

The above lines appeared in Houston, Texas.

And not on the set of the Lord of the Rings movie in New Zealand.

The place of appearance was a Four Seasons Hotel in Houston.

I don’t know how long it took.

When the actor who played Arwen woke up from a deep sleep, she only felt sore all over.

She moved on the bed and touched around with her eyes closed, but could not find the man she was looking for.

Then she raised her eyes and saw the dim ceiling of the bedroom of the hotel's top suite.

Holding back the pain all over her body, she sat up from the soft Simmons.

He raised his eyes and looked around, only to see a messy scene in the bedroom.

It's as if a Florida hurricane blew through it during the day.

Liv Tyler could even find the Elf Princess’s torn into strips of clothing and the Elf Princess’s staff broken in half on the ground.

".Like a cow." She couldn't help but mutter in a low voice, and then looked at the clock on the wall and found that it was already five o'clock in the afternoon.

This allowed her to find the reason for her exhaustion, because she actually only slept for three hours after being extremely tired.

"Ah, really, there is no need to be so excited. You thought you were really Sauron and I was really Arwen!"

Mentally complaining, but Liv was still very happy.

She felt that she had found the hobby of her "boss".

In this way, it is equivalent to ensuring that my long-term meal ticket is stable.

This is for her who already knows that Abel is now the chairman of CAA and already has AB Smith Entertainment under its umbrella.

It can be considered that I have done relatively good things recently.

Compared to the somewhat naive Anne Hathaway, Jessica Alba is scheming and ambitious but still immature in her methods.

Liv Tyler, who is twenty-three years old this year, already knows what she wants and what she can give.

I am very clear about my positioning and also very clear about what I want.

On the surface, Liv Tyler is the "white, rich and beautiful" in Hollywood, a second-generation star.

Her mother is a once-famous boner, and both of her fathers are pass-catching superstars in the rock industry.

Her background and family conditions are beyond the reach of many Hollywood practitioners who have worked hard for decades.

But her conditions are nothing in the eyes of a real giant crocodile.

Yes, both of her fathers are legendary superstars, and they love her very much.

But they are legendary stars in the rock circle. The rock circle is still a small circle even in the United States, where people are entertained to death.

Maybe not even as good as the black hip-hop scene.

This characterization means that even the most powerful singers in the rock circle cannot compare with pop singers of the same level in terms of income.

What's more, for these two dads, their most popular eras have passed.

Nowadays, they still have some status in the rock circle.

Outside the rock circle, it would be a lie to say that he has a high status.

This makes Liv Tyler's status as a second-generation "white, rich and beautiful" star actually just that valuable.

Much better than ordinary people, but it just has more connections.

She has no musical talent and wants to have a place in Hollywood.

More, I still rely on my own efforts.

This makes her willing to give and has great execution ability.

"I don't know where I went. It hurt me so much that I couldn't find anyone."

Muttering in her heart, she didn't dare to really call and bother Abel.

She knows her place.

Liv Tyler sat on the huge soft Simmons and was in a daze for a while.

Her slightly confused eyes glanced at the broken elf princess costume on the ground.

This suit is no longer usable.

Fortunately, there are backups in the crew, and I don’t have many roles.

But next time, I probably won’t be able to use this set of clothes.

Men all like to try new things.

I was very excited the first time, but the excitement went down the second time.

The third time, I may not be excited anymore.

Perhaps other clothing is needed. What kind of clothing should I use?

Hmm. The elf queen seems good. The elf princess will also be a queen in the future.

Hey. Actually, wouldn’t it be better to just let the Elf Queen come?

If the Elf Princess and the Elf Queen come together, they must be able to "subdue" the Demon King Sauron, right?

Liv Tyler got the idea in her head and started to think about the possibilities.

When Liv Tyler is devoted to her "work".

On Abel's side, he received an invitation at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Someone invited him to a golf course outside Houston to play golf together.

After asking for the identity of the inviter, he happily went.

The inviter was Herbert, who had met him at the Astros baseball stadium and in the restaurant last night.

This golf course is affiliated with the Houston Golf Club.

However, its property rights are privately owned and its area is not very large.

Among golf courses, they are relatively small.

Today, this golf course is no longer open to the public.

When Abel's motorcade arrived at the door here.

The bodyguard at the door called inside.

Then they were allowed to enter the stadium.

But inside the stadium, the bodyguards around Abel only allowed one person to follow Abel in.

You can't bring weapons yet.

"This is a rule." A staff member in a black suit said with a smile:

"Only one entourage is allowed, and the same applies to other gentlemen."

After looking at the other party's serious look, Abel nodded gently:

"That's it, Edward, come in with me."

Then under the guidance of the staff, Abel took Edward into the stadium area.

This stadium is indeed not big, after entering.

Abel saw a large group of people gathering in the distance from a long distance away.

The staff member in a black suit just now drove over with an electric-driven golf cart.

"Mr. Smith, please come up and I'll take you there." The staff member said politely.

Abel nodded and got into the car with Edward.

After a few minutes of driving, Abel arrived near those people.

From a distance, he saw Herbert laughing loudly in the crowd.

Those people naturally saw the golf cart coming.

And him sitting on the golf cart.

"Hey~ look who's here, our great guy from Texas is here." Herbert held up the golf club and pointed to Abel's side with a smile.

The others looked over with smiles on their faces.

The golf cart pulled up to the men and stopped.

Abel and Edward jumped out of the car.

With a smile on his face, he walked directly towards Herbert, the only familiar person present.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen, nice to meet you."

"So are we." An old white man with gray hair who looked about the same age as Herbert said with a smile.

"Haha~" Herbert said: "That's right. Abel, how about I introduce these gentlemen to you?"

"Excuse me, sir." Abel smiled.

Herbert smiled and pointed to the old man who spoke just now, "This is Mr. Rodriguez McKison."

"Hi, Mr. McKison." Abel smiled and extended his hand.

Rodriguez McKison smiled and shook his hand.

Then, Herbert pointed to another old man who looked younger, but probably in his sixties.

"This is Davis, Mr. Davis Brown."

"Hello, Mr. Brown."

"Hello, Mr. Smith. John told me that you are a very good man." Davis Brown said with a smile.

Abel knew that the John Davis Brown was talking about should be John J. Brown.

"John is also a very good person. I will become a very good friend with him." Abel responded.

Davis Brown: "That's really great."

Then the next one,

"This is Martin, Mr. Martin Elkins."

"Hello."

"."

After a few minutes of introduction, Abel had confirmed what he was thinking.

The surnames of these people "happen" to be exactly the same as those of the group of people who founded and controlled the Texas consortium.

Well, not exactly.

It should be said that these people

These are the families behind the Texas syndicate.

Abel kept a calm attitude and tried to interact with these people as calmly as possible.

he told himself.

In fact, these people are not very powerful, what is powerful is their ancestors.

It was their ancestors who created the Texas Consortium.

These people are only second or third generation at most.

Compared with being able to cheat, he has a rebirth perspective.

In terms of ability, their combined strength is not enough to fight alone.

There is nothing to be nervous about, no need to be nervous.

Even so, he was still somewhat nervous.

After all, before this, the main body of his soul was just a young man from the Celestial Dynasty.

The most money I have in the bank in my life is only 5,000 yuan.

Fortunately, he has the memory and ability to fuse with his original body, and he has become wealthy and has been a capitalist for more than ten months.

Without this accumulation, if you encounter these people suddenly, you probably won't be able to stay calm.

Thinking about it like this, I was still a little nervous.

Gradually I relaxed a lot.

He no longer focused on the identity of these people, but treated them as if they were a group of people of the same identity, with an equal and gentle attitude.

At most, it's because they are all relatively old, with the youngest in their fifties.

In terms of attitude, he seems to be more respectful to the elderly.

In other respects, Abel tried his best to be neither humble nor overbearing.

To his surprise, the contact lasted almost two hours.

These people did not discuss business matters or anything related to Abel.

They just get together and play golf.

From time to time, we discuss some interesting things or international news.

After about two hours, the show was called off.

Many people left one after another, and finally only Abel and Herbert, whom he was relatively familiar with, were left on the field.

After everyone is gone.

Looking at Abel who still hadn't left, Herbert smiled and said, "Isn't it a little surprising?"

Hearing what he said, Abel nodded, "It's indeed a bit surprising."

He had been mentally prepared just now, how to deal with these people's "attack" without being humble or arrogant.

How can I bargain better with these people?

It turned out that these people were fine and didn't mention anything about the business.

Herbert smiled and said: "Actually, when I first came into contact with these people, they were like this too."

"But that was thirty years ago, and the people I came into contact with were still their parents."

Herbert seemed to be remembering the past, "The real contact will come later. Now I just want to let you know that they do not reject you and are willing to accept you."

"But whether you can join successfully or not will depend on what happens next, their attitude, and yours."

After Herbert said these words, Abel understood something.

After a few seconds of silence, Abel couldn't help but said:

"Actually, I have more than one place to choose. My closest deputy, his last name is Mellon."

"In addition, I also have cooperative relationships with banks such as Citigroup and MG."

He was telling the other party that he did not have to join the Texas consortium.

Compared with the Texas Consortium, the Mellon Consortium, First Citigroup and MG Consortium are stronger.

In the American consortium, Texas is at the bottom.

Even if Abel insisted, he felt that he could set up such a consortium.

It's just that it will be difficult, and it will probably be attacked by a group of people.

The process will be much more difficult and may even be unsuccessful.

So if possible, make sure you don’t become a dog.

He is also willing to accept it and become one of them.

This is equivalent to entering the game in the late stages of the game, whether there is a full-level large belt from a large guild.

If not, it will be very difficult in the early stage, and you may even be killed indiscriminately in the wild.

If you have a max-level large size belt and you are a good gamer yourself.

You can grow into a big boss in the game in a very short period of time.

"Hahaha~" Herbert said with a smile:

"Of course we all know this. So why do you think they contacted you so late? You know that almost three months ago, you were called the Wolf of Wall Street by Wall Street."

"It's too troublesome and complicated." Abel shrugged.

Herbert came over and patted his shoulder gently, "Actually, I envy you. Because when you were so young, I was still flying a plane in the sky fighting against the Neon Man."

"By the time I can talk to these people, my eldest son will be older than you."

"Young man, be patient."

After Herbert said this with a smile, he turned around and walked out.

After a while, Abel was the only one left on the golf course.

It was approaching evening, the sun was setting in the west, and the no longer strong sunlight stretched his shadow very long.

He was alone in a daze for maybe a few minutes, and then Edward, who had been waiting beside him, walked over quietly.

"BOSS." Edward said, "Old Mr. Smith called."

When we were on the court just now, no one had their mobile phones with them.

The mobile phones were handed over to the attendants or bodyguards, and everyone was really serious about playing ball.

"Yeah." Abel reached out and took the phone, "Grandpa?"

Alex's voice rang out from the phone's receiver.

"Are you still there? Come back, kid. That's what those people like. They are each more cautious than the last."

"Okay. I just thought they would coerce me, offer me various conditions to seduce me, or use various means to threaten me, just like in movies and TV shows."

Abel said: "I was mentally prepared. I didn't expect anything, they just asked me to play a game with them."

"Haha~ You said it was on TV and movies." Alex said:

"Movies and TV need logic, and those who are too outrageous will be scolded by the audience. Reality does not need logic or rationality, because reality is made up of people."

"Okay. Grandpa, you sometimes speak quite philosophically."

"What do you mean sometimes? I have always spoken philosophically! When I was young, I read philosophy for a while."

"Well, didn't you major in architectural design in college?"

"Elective, do you understand elective?"

"OK, OK. That's it, Mr. Alex, the philosopher. I'll go home later. If I have anything to do, I'll talk about it later."

"OK, but why later?"

"Secret."

Abel hung up the phone, turned around and walked outside.

Edward followed silently, and the two of them walked out of the court.

Abel returned to the motorcade, but did not return to the River Oaks community right away.

"Go to the Four Seasons Hotel," he said softly.

By the time the motorcade returned to the Century Hotel in downtown Houston, it was already six o'clock in the evening.

It's almost October in Texas, and it gets dark very quickly.

At six o'clock, the sun has basically set.

As night falls, the lanterns come on.

The beautiful neon lights render Houston, the fourth largest city in the United States, extremely beautiful, giving it a cyberpunk-like sense of sight.

Liv Tyler and Abel having dinner in the restaurant of the Four Seasons Hotel.

She found that her "boss" looked a little unhappy.

He was so happy when he arrived in the morning and during the role-playing at noon.

As happy as a child.

At that time, she said in her heart - [Men are indeed big pigs' hooves. 】

But looking like this at the moment, Liv Tyler guessed that it was business or other matters.

After thinking about it, Liv Tyler suddenly whispered:

"BOSS, I just asked the hotel attendant to deliver some clothes to my room."

Abel was stunned for a moment, then a knowing smile appeared on his face.

"Oh." He said: "I opened an underwear company. I also plan to invest in a clothing company. When you say that, I think it is really necessary for me to check the quality of clothing produced by other companies."

Liv Tyler smiles.

Seeing the smile on Abel's face, and the anticipation.

The complaint from the day came to her mind again.

Men, in this regard, are big pigs.
