Chapter 97: Stop Pretending, I'm Showdown(1/3)
About an hour and a half later, the Gulfstream G400 arrived in New York.
The airport where the plane landed this time was not JFK International Airport.
This is the busiest time at JFK International Airport.
It takes about ten minutes to land there.
And during this time, after leaving the airport, the road will be jammed for a while.
So the Gulfstream G400 landed at another airport in Queens, LaGuardia Airport.
It's actually closer to Manhattan than JFK International Airport.
About eight miles or so.
It's just that Delta Air Lines does not have a terminal here. Its planes land here and need to communicate in advance.
This time Abel was in a hurry, so Delta Airlines contacted LaGuardia Airport.
So we landed here.
Outside LaGuardia Airport, Andy, one of Abel's drivers, and several other bodyguards from Rock Security.
He has already driven the car and is waiting for him here.
After getting in the car, I was speechless all the way.
The motorcade arrived at the downstairs of the building where Smith Capital is located at five o'clock in the evening.
When he arrived at Smith Capital, Caroline and David Mellon were already waiting for him.
"Sorry for keeping you waiting."
After coming in, he said expressionlessly.
"But now I'm back. Ms. Caroline, please tell me everything you know."
Caroline nodded emphatically and continued:
"The matter was found out. I even troubled my uncle about it."
After hearing her talk about her uncle, Abel looked at David Mellon.
The latter shrugged, indicating that this was what Abel meant.
Caroline's full name is Caroline Jonde Rehnquist.
Her middle name is not important, what is important is her last name.
More importantly, the current chief justice of the United States is named William Habs Rehnquist.
Rehnquist is Caroline's uncle.
Rehnquist's status. Let's put it this way, before every new commander-in-chief takes office.
All must take an oath according to the Bible before Rehnquist or his predecessor.
Moreover, once you hold the position of Rehnquist, you have a lifelong tenure.
It means doing it to the point of death.
This also makes this position, as of Rehnquist, only sixteen in total.
Unlike the Grand Commander-in-Chief, those running for the 43rd and 54th terms this year are already in office.
"Okay. What's the real situation?" Abel asked.
Caroline even brought out the giant Buddha to endorse it, but Abel could only choose to believe it.
"According to Robert Morgenthau.
He said this investigation was a "tribute" to you that some people forced him to do," Caroline said.
"Congratulations?"
Abel frowned.
"Like I said before.
Mr. Smith, everything about your trading on Wall Street is too "smooth" and too "smart."
You scared some people," said Caroline.
"Some people feel that young people should be warned."
"Robert owed them a favor and was forced to do this."
After saying this, Caroline fell silent.
She also felt that this matter was a bit ridiculous, but she reminded her of the behavior of people on Wall Street.
This could really be the case.
This was as far as she could investigate and try her best.
As for the truth, Caroline felt that she was not a detective.
There was nothing she could do.
"Ha~"
Abel found it funny and wary.
In fact, ever since I more or less understood the nature of Wall Street.
He has always been on guard against this kind of thing and has been paying attention to this kind of thing.
That's why I have always been so low-key and tried my best not to offend anyone.
I don't want to make more money, so I try to be cautious.
He thought that being so cautious was enough to keep a low profile.
Unexpectedly, even with such a low profile, it still aroused the vigilance of these people.
"call"
Abel let out a breath.
Although he felt that things might not be that simple.
But at present, this explanation is the most likely.
Sometimes, don't underestimate the IQ of these Wall Street hyenas.
That kind of business war with high IQ, where one step counts a hundred steps, and all kinds of conspiracies and intrigues are hidden and reversed.
Generally it only exists in TV series, movies, or movies.
Business wars in reality are more about returning to nature.
What seems stupidest and simplest is actually the most effective.
These Angsa guys, these descendants of bandits.
Rather than conspiracy, they prefer to get straight to the point and cut to the chase.
The search warrant for A-Dong Manor announced by Fobo Le in later generations was forced to show it to the public, but 99% of it was blacked out.
The excuse was "it's a matter of national security."
It's not that kind of acting, it's direct and simple.
This is the political struggle of Angsar, which has no sense of art at all.
Reflected in business struggles, several Wall Street executives jump off buildings every year.
And basically every year, one or two Fortune 500 American company executives either jump from a building, are shot eight times in the back, or die for other random reasons.
It's so unpretentious.
"Okay." Abel said, "So... Prosecutor Robert Morgenthau, what does this mean now?"
"That's what I mean. Robert said that there will be no further disturbances in this incident.
Those two people can be released the day after tomorrow at the latest."
"And the information and account books taken away from Smith Capital will also be returned intact."
"Everything will be calm again."
Caroline replied.
"Return to peace?"
Abel smiled silently, then looked at David, "David, tell me.
If something like this happens, what impact will it have if we become a listed company?"
"If the stock price falls, the risk rating may also be lowered. Shareholders, investors, and LPs will also be confused."
David Mellon shrugged and said: "It is a very bad thing that has a great impact."
"You're right." Abel nodded, then looked at Caroline again.
To be continued...
