Chapter 145: The Middle East Stock God(1/3)
As Abel's fellow countryman and bodyguard captain.
Edward is very authoritative within Rock Security.
Just his status as a fellow countryman made him more trusted by Abel.
What's more, he is also the strongest among the four bodyguards in terms of personal combat ability.
This is one of the reasons why he became the bodyguard captain.
He looked at Lincoln, who was a little frivolous, and then at Johnson, who was silent and just eating.
Edward felt that it would be great if Lincoln's character was like Johnson's.
But no one is perfect.
Although Lincoln's character is a bit out of the ordinary, he is a normal black character.
But perhaps also because of this relationship that transcends personality, Lincoln is the "anti-black" expert among the four.
This guy is familiar with the habits, personalities and behaviors of different gangs in various regions across the United States.
We even know many senior members of the other party.
At the same time, Lincoln is also very good at street fighting, and has the strongest combat effectiveness on the streets and indoors.
If I weren't working as a bodyguard next to my boss now.
Edward felt.
This guy is probably in some gang, as a powerful gunman with formidable force, or even as a gang leader.
I didn’t know that such a guy grew up in that kind of atmosphere.
Why did you run away to join the army?
And after retiring, he had no choice to return to the quagmire.
Instead, he joined a serious job and now he is Abel's bodyguard.
Edward guessed that it must be related to Lincoln's mother.
Because the boss once told Edward that Lincoln only has one relative left.
That's Lincoln's wife.
Lincoln's mother had already gone to work on the Smith Farm in Texas with Dix's family last month.
In the future, I may also go to work at Rock Security in Tarrant County, which seems to be working in the kitchen.
The job is relaxing, the salary is very high, and the benefits are good, including dental and medical insurance.
In contrast.
Among Abel's four kings, apart from himself, Edward's favorite is the Asian bodyguard Lin.
Lin's full name is Ruyi Lin, and his grandfather's generation came to the United States.
Lin himself has a gentle and resolute personality, and more importantly, he is careful and good at many technologies.
For example, blasting technology is particularly sensitive to explosives.
At the same time, he also has certain skills in car repair that the other three Vajras do not have, and even in installing windows, laying floors, and other messy skills.
Sometimes Edward feels that the four personal bodyguards chosen by the boss are comprehensive enough.
Johnson has a quiet personality and rarely speaks a word, but he is a sharpshooter and knows a lot about firearms. He is a master of firearms.
Lincoln talked a lot, was very good at indoor fighting, was very good with pistols, and was very familiar with the dirty work of American gangs.
Lin Ze is a technical soldier and also has good fighting ability.
Edward himself is a powerful attacker and is good at frontal combat.
Once all is done, this configuration can be used to fight small mercenary battles.
Edward thought to himself while eating.
At this time, the wireless intercom placed on the dining table rang.
Johnson, who was nearest, immediately stopped eating, picked it up and pressed the play button.
The voice of Doni, the first female bodyguard of Rock Security, came over the intercom.
"Edward, Edward, someone comes up to see the boss. The boss and Miss Charlize are still resting."
Edward took it and responded: "I'll go out right now."
Then he took a few seconds to finish off the last few steaks on his plate.
"Johnson and I will be in charge of the first half of the night, and Lin and Lincoln will be on standby. If the boss wants to stay here overnight, you two will be in charge of the second half of the night."
The other three of the Four King Kongs nodded in agreement, and then Edward Johnson walked out of the room.
Not far from the door of the room, Edward saw Doni communicating with two people.
"What's going on?"
Edward came over and asked softly.
Although they were eating just now, there were still four bodyguards guarding the boss' door.
Doni was the person in charge just now.
"One of these two people claimed to be the lobby manager of the hotel. The other claimed to be Prince Walid's bodyguard."
Dorni said to Edward: "They said Prince Walid wanted to see our boss."
"Correction, ma'am. It's not "Prince Walid", but Prince Walid of Tessa Kingdom." The older man, probably the middle-aged man who claimed to be the hotel lobby manager, said with a smile.
Tony didn't answer, she just looked at Edward.
Edward had already recognized this middle-aged man as the lobby manager of the hotel.
Edward had noticed it when he came in just now.
"Prince Walid? Is he the current owner of this Plaza Hotel?" Edward thought for a while and asked:
"Prince Walid, what do you want from my boss?"
Of course something happened.
The other party may even have made a special trip here to see Abel.
About an hour later.
Abel took Charlize Theron, who was fully dressed, to a reception room next to the Palm Room of the Plaza Hotel.
I met a middle-aged desert man wearing a black suit who looked like a business elite.
"Hello, Mr. Smith!"
As soon as Abel came in, he stood up with a smile and made a good gesture.
"Hello, Mr. Walid." Abel responded with a smile.
Prince Walid is quite famous in New York.
I should say, very famous.
Waleed once bought a large amount of Citibank shares in the 1980s.
This makes him Citibank's largest individual shareholder.
In addition, this guy is also the second largest investor in News Corporation, and the companies in which he holds shares include a series of internationally renowned companies.
His total personal assets, this time ranked in Forbes, are far above Abel, ranking 11th, with a total of 11.2 billion US dollars.
By the way, Walid is also known as Desert Buffett, or the God of Stocks in the Middle East.
It is said that when he started, he only had 15,000 US dollars given to him by his father, which was almost thirty years ago.
But Abel felt.
Walid's $15,000 is probably the same as the "fifty dollars" reported in the media.
He is the grandson of the 21st son of the founding monarch of the Kingdom of Tessa.
Even if you do nothing.
Now I'm back in the desert, I can get a subsidy of hundreds of thousands of dollars every month, live in a luxury house for free, and drive a luxury car for free.
Abel curiously sat down opposite Walid, wondering why he wanted to see him.
"Good evening, Mr. Smith." Walid said politely:
"I've known you for a long time. I just happened to come over to visit my hotel this time. I heard they said you were coming, so I couldn't wait to see you. This has caused some trouble to you, and I'm very sorry!"
"Ha~"
Abel smiled: "I have known you for a long time, Prince Walid. You are the Buffett of the Desert."
It seems that in front of people like Abel, Walid is very happy to be called Desert Buffett.
The middle-aged man said with a smile:
To be continued...
