Chapter 146: Buying a Team and Blood Hunting(1/3)
The meeting with Walid can only be said to be inevitable by chance.
Walid, a Middle Eastern stock god with roots in the European and American world, has always maintained good relations with the European and American financial fields.
He has a keen sense of smell and may have smelled the results of this year's election.
I want to make friends with the other party, but the other party is a representative of the military-industrial complex.
It has been active in the south for a long time and mainly represents the forces in the south.
This has little to do with Walid's daily activities on the east and west coasts.
To be more strict, the American South has basically no presence on Wall Street.
At most there are some representatives.
For example, there are several branches of Southern Bank in New York, such as the New York branch of Texas Commerce Bank.
Walid's friends are mainly in Wall Street. If you want to get to know him.
Abel would be a good choice.
Just do a little research into Abel's background.
Everyone knows that the Smith family and that family are barely close friends.
If Walid wants to get to know each other, Abel would be a good choice.
We happened to meet each other, and Walid naturally got involved.
That's how this meeting happened.
In addition, maybe there is a bit of nouveau riche temperament between both parties.
Apart from this incident, the two people found that they actually had a good conversation with each other.
Especially in terms of enjoyment, Walid, the "senior", gave Abel a lot of inspiration.
Abel's super enjoyment thoughts also gave Walid some inspiration.
After this experience, the two became friends.
The next day, Queens, New York.
& on November 6, 0
Smith Building, fourth floor, in Abel's office.
In front of Abel's desk, there were seven people in neat suits and different ages standing.
Next to these seven people, there were David Mellon who was watching the fun, and David Jones who brought these people to Abel.
David Jones' crisp and refreshing voice echoed in the office.
".Alan Baker, former senior actuary of Mingde Fengyi and business manager of European Division."
"Bertram Hall, former deputy manager of Toll Brothers Real Estate New York Division."
"Beavis Brooke, senior accountant, formerly worked for Brooke."
".Paul Lin, the former senior deputy manager of North America for L'Oréal Group, is also familiar with East Asian affairs."
"York West, former deputy general manager of Gephardt Company, registered senior lobbyist in Washington."
"George Williams."
"Mary Choxey"
"."
Of these seven people, one is a woman and six are men.
It basically covers all aspects of talent allocation needed by a rich man.
These seven men were David Jones at Abel's request.
Through American Express, as well as headhunting companies such as McKinsey and Heidrick & Struggles, we found seven talents in various fields for Abel throughout Europe and the United States.
These talents will become the structure of Abel's think tank.
With them as the core, Abel's think tank was formally formed.
After this,
If Abel is interested in entering a certain field, or just wants to buy something.
He can consult this think tank and make his own judgment after getting advice.
Decide whether to proceed.
This situation is very common among the rich.
Abel didn't have it before, that's because he rose too quickly.
And there is no consideration in this regard.
After experiencing the Robert incident, I also went to Los Angeles and the incident in Texas.
He felt the need to form such a team.
When he was in Los Angeles, he asked everyone to
David Mellon found someone to form it.
David finally found all the people, and today is the day when these people come to meet the boss.
In fact, Abel couldn't tell whether these people were suitable or not.
Just based on resume, education, and appearance.
Each of these people looks very elite.
It is also fully configured in all aspects according to his requirements.
Including accounting, actuarial science, simple legal consulting, real estate and energy, political lobbying, etc.
At the same time it is obvious that as time goes by.
The size of this team will continue to expand.
These seven people are just the initial members.
If they are later found to be unqualified by Abel, or they don’t like them, or they violate the rules in some way.
They will also be fired.
After David Jones finished his introduction, he quietly came down and looked at Abel.
Everyone in the whole room was looking at him.
Abel smiled:
"Very good, I already know you. I have read your resumes. You should also know who I am, so I won't introduce myself."
"You should already know about salary, benefits, promotion ceiling, etc."
"so."
Abel, who was sitting upright behind his desk, smiled and spread his hands——
"Welcome to my side~ I hope that in the future, we can work together and make progress together."
"You have made me richer. And you can also develop upwards, and even join my class one day."
Abel didn't want to hear them say anything about expressing loyalty.
After this opening remarks, he wanted to give this newly established think tank a task.
But he was actually not very prepared.
Just out of the corner of my eye, I saw the headline of the sports section of today's latest issue of "The American Sun" on a newspaper on the table.
The title above is "New York Knicks defeat Los Angeles Lakers 76-88".
He simply took out the newspaper, placed it in front of his desk, and faced everyone in the think tank.
"Na."
Abel smiled and said: "The first mission you established is here. Did you see it? The New York Knicks and Los Angeles Lakers."
"I want you all to make two plans for me within three days. The two plans are how to acquire these two basketball teams as quickly as possible and intact."
"This is my first review of you. Only if we can achieve this point will it be necessary for you to exist."
After saying this, Abel did not give them a chance to speak.
He directly gave the newspaper to David Jones, and asked David Jones to take them to understand his financial status, as well as his personal connections and other intelligence information.
Then supervise them and come up with these two plans within three days.
After David Jones and the think tank members walked out, another David, who had been watching the show in the office, smiled and walked to the chair in front of his desk to sit down.
"Haha~ they look very good. I have seen their resumes and every one of them is excellent."
David Mellon smiled and said: "But your task is a bit demanding. Two plans to buy two basketball teams within three days."
"Don't tell me, do you really want to buy these two teams?"
"I just asked them to outline their plans. We don't really want to buy it right away." Abel said calmly.
"Ha~" David Mellon shook his head, "It's not like I don't understand you. You might actually buy it on a whim."
"I don't know about the Los Angeles side. It might not be that easy for the New York Knicks."
