David shook his head and shouted, "Come in, Amanda."

The door was pushed open.

Amanda was still a little petite, holding documents and files as high as her hair, and walked in with some difficulty.

She looked shaky, as if the documents and files were about to fall to the ground at any time.

Abel looked at David and motioned for him to help.

David shook his head and refused, his eyes wandering around Abel and Amanda, his eyes a little ambiguous.

Abel had no choice but to shake his head, and walked over to catch the large number of documents and files that Amanda staggered over.

"Be careful, Amanda. Actually, you don't need to do these menial tasks. Someone in the company will do it." Abel helped her put the documents and files on the table.

"That's not possible." Amanda breathed a sigh of relief, and then laughed, "I am your secretary now, although I am only an intern. But it is also my job, and of course I must complete it well!"

"Okay. As long as you like it." Abel waved his hand.

Amanda didn't stay long, she smiled sweetly at Abel, nodded politely to David, turned around and went out to do her work again.

After she left, the office door was closed.

David Mellon suddenly said:

"It seems that the eldest lady of the Hearst family has some kind of interest in my boss."

"Ha" Abel smiled, "Don't say such things. She is only sixteen years old."

David rolled his eyes and wanted to say something else in this regard.

Abel didn't give him a chance.

"Okay. Remember to keep an eye on the crude oil. After the shipment is completed, notify me immediately. Also, don't forget about Isaac."

He chose to leave directly.

But before leaving the company, he told David Mellon this way.

After leaving the Smith Building, Abel's motorcade quickly left the L.I.C. and quickly headed for JFK International Airport in Queens.

An hour later, they were on the plane bound for Texas.

On the plane, he used the satellite phone to call the other David who he left behind in Tarrant County.

"David, I'm Abel Smith."

"Good afternoon, boss. I know it's you. I have your satellite phone number."

"Okay. So, I'm on my way to Tarrant County now. I'll arrive in about two hours. David, tell me what's going on there."

"OK."

A week ago, due to a surprise attack by the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

Abel was forced to return from Texas early.

Afterwards, he discovered that it was nothing serious at all.

The Manhattan District Attorney's Office is just representing some people, a small warning - no, it can't be said to be a warning.

It can only be said as a compliment.

The other party was probably telling Abel that they could do this if necessary.

Abel felt depressed and helpless about these people's actions.

However, he did not make it easy for the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, which was used as a gun.

Afterwards, he spent some money to trigger a small public opinion storm in the media against the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

Among them, newspapers in the Los Angeles area were the most enthusiastic and were at the forefront.

Even now he has stopped investing money.

West Coast newspapers, including the Los Angeles Times, are still making trouble.

In addition to this, he also asked Caroline to launch a lawsuit against the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

Compared with the previous public opinion storm, this kind of litigation storm is obviously time-consuming and laborious.

For the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, the damage and impact will be even greater.

According to Caroline, Robert Morgenthau had a headache.

The old guy wanted to have dinner with Abel, so he made an appointment with Abel through Caroline.

Abel pushed again and again, this time he decided to fly directly to Texas so that Robert Morgenthau could not find anyone.

In fact, Abel also knew these two methods of revenge.

It doesn't really hurt the foundation of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

It can only cause them some trouble, especially the former, which is probably not even trouble.

Because of the original storm of public opinion directed at the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

It has now turned into some kind of low-intensity rivalry between West Coast and East Coast newspapers.

There is no business at all about the Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

That is to say, litigation storm, this kind of straightforward means of making money.

It gave Robert a headache and trouble.

So much so that they even wanted to ask Abel out for dinner, probably to reconcile.

Abel also knew that reconciliation would always come.

Because this time is really not a big deal.

Strictly speaking, it should even be said that the Manhattan District Attorney's Office acted impartially.

Those two employees of Abel were really guilty of something.

But these things are not done by Smith Capital.

It was a crime he committed at his previous company before he came to work here.

Abel has already made plans for it when he comes back from Texas.

As long as Robert is a little softer, he will cancel this litigation storm.

After all, the main purpose of launching this counterattack has been completed.

It also freed him up to focus back on Texas.

On the Texas side, Abel originally left David Jones and five bodyguards behind.

Five bodyguards, three of whom were with Alexander Smith.

The other two were working for David Jones.

What David has to do is very simple. He represents Abel here and discusses with Dwayne how to help Alexander.

At the same time, the matter of relocating the rock security here has been completed.

"First up is Alesvas & Electric."

On David's side, depending on the level of the boss, the first thing to talk about is the energy company.

Although David didn't know it, the relocation of Rock Security was obviously more important.

But the boss looks more like a regional electrical company.

"I have been in contact with several shareholders and the board of directors of this company through Mr. DeWine."

"Obviously the other party is very eager to take action. The offer is very low. It only costs 20 million US dollars to acquire 80% of its shares."

"But there is a problem. This company has liabilities of close to 50 million US dollars. The liabilities have exceeded twice its market value. This is the biggest problem."

The debt ratio was 250%. Abel on the plane was a little speechless when he heard this data.

He asked again: "What about other aspects?"

"In other words." David Jones:

"This company currently has about a thousand employees.

Three power plants, 21 gas stations, and 555 miles of natural gas pipelines.

It provides power to a thousand small farms in Tarrant County and has about 100,000 to 120,000 customers at the same time."

Abel took the satellite phone and spoke again: "What is the reason for such serious debt?"

"I checked the information and found out why I have so much debt."

"There are three reasons. One is that its three power plants are all old power plants. The technology is backward, requiring a lot of maintenance costs every year, and the efficiency is also worrying."

"The second reason is that Alles recently acquired a gas company. This gas company is also on the verge of bankruptcy, and Alles is interested in its two natural gas fields."

"The third reason is competition. There are a total of 11 electric power companies in Tarrant County, and the competition is very fierce. Alais Company, which has no cost advantage, lost in the price war."
