Chapter 272 Ikana is in crazy preparation for pregnancy

Manhattan District Attorney's Office.

"I'm back." Behind the desk, Robert Morgenthau, who was reading documents while wearing reading glasses, said with a gentle smile as he took off his reading glasses and put down the documents.

"Yeah." Abel came to the seat in front of him and sat down politely.

Behind Abel was Peggy who quietly closed the door.

"You usually have something wrong when you come to me." Robert put his hands on the table and crossed them in the "Ikari Yuantang" posture, and looked at Abel quietly and said.

"I'd like to treat you to a show."

Robert frowned: "That underwear company show of yours? There's no way I can go."

Let an old man in his 80s go to a lingerie show. I dare say. If I were fifty years younger, it would be about the same - Robert thought.

"No, it's not. That's obviously not suitable for you." Abel said with a smile:

"You're already old. Robert, it's useless for you to appreciate that thing."

Robert, who was originally in a relatively calm mood, was already a little angry.

"What kind of show is that?" Robert asked with a frown.

"Tonight, Madison Square Garden, the NBA draft show. How about we watch it together?"

"It's even more impossible for me to go." Robert's face turned completely ugly. "You want me to watch a lot of Brother Ni play ball? I refuse."

Robert Morgenthau belongs to the most typical East Coast old white male style.

Even though he belongs to the Donkey Party, the Donkey Party is the party with the largest number of black supporters.

But if you look closely, you can see that this old man doesn't even have a single black friend.

After all, he is over eighty years old.

When he was young, black people were not considered human beings in America.

Abel knew he would be like this, so he said:

"Both Buffett and Bloomberg will go. It's okay for Bloomberg, but don't you want to talk to Buffett?"

Robert Morgenthau seemed to hesitate a little, "No. I don't want to go. I don't like places that are too noisy."

The old prosecutor seemed determined and had no intention of backing down.

"Okay." Abel said, "Then forget it. By the way, Robert, are you interested in investing in Smith Capital?"

"Smith Capital?"

Robert Morgenthau sat up straight, and the gray-haired old man looked at Abel: "Tell me your plan."

"0.2% dry stocks." Abel said:

"Let it be held by Peggy or her father. The premise is that the position of Manhattan District Attorney must always be held by Morgenthau. When you lose this position, you will also lose the dividend rights of this 0.2% share."

Abel's words made Robert Morgenthau fall into deep thought.

Abel did not bother him, but turned around and looked around, taking a closer look at the layout of Robert's office.

Abel had already planned to give 0.2% of the shares to Robert Morgenthau with only dividend rights.

In addition, after this, he also plans to take out another 0.6% of the shares with only dividend rights and hand them over to three other people for disposal.

These three people are the Speaker of the New York City Council, the Mayor of New York City, and the District Attorney for the Eastern District of New York.

The reason is simple.

Together with the Manhattan District Attorney (Western District of New York), these four people are the largest and most powerful local gangsters in the New York area.

Whoever holds these positions will be entitled to dividends during their tenure.

Whoever loses these positions will also lose the right to dividends.

There is a high probability that the dividend rights will not be directly held by these four people, as the rules of the game do not allow it.

But they have discretion.

To whomever they want to give the 0.2% dividend right, Smith Capital will give it to them.

The method is also very simple.

Smith Capital will recruit this designated person into the company.

Then give these benefits to this person legally and reasonably in the form of annual salary or options.

This is actually a variant of the "revolving door" that is very common in the United States and is completely reasonable and legal.

The difference is that the ordinary revolving door is usually implemented after the person concerned retires or leaves the company.

Smith Capital's revolving door was simply given away when the other party took office.

The difference between the two is that obviously Smith Capital's 0.2% dividend would be extremely amazing.

"I agree." After about two or three minutes, Abel wanted to stand up and see if a vase in the corner of Robert's office was from China.

Robert spoke.

"It can't be Peggy." Robert Morgenthau said calmly: "She will be my successor. Give it to her father."

Abel took his eyes away from the beautiful vase.

He gave Robert a smile: "No problem. Dear Attorney General, this is your power."

Robert gave him a suggestion, "You should show your generosity to more people. Smith Capital has not even re-employed a retiree, which is not in line with the norm."

Retirees are reemployed.

Robert's words were very obscure, and Abel understood them clearly.

Probably referring to the ordinary version of revolving door operation.

The so-called revolving door is a characteristic of the United States and other European and American regions.

It refers to some high-ranking government officials who, after resigning, retire and then re-employ, working in some large companies.

The job content is often that of a consultant, where you only get paid and don’t have to do any work.

Companies that generally allow them to retire and re-employ.

What is often a "coincidence" is the field they worked in before retiring.

For example, gentlemen such as officials from the Ministry of Health and Human Services or FDA review committee members.

After they retire, they often become consultants and executives for companies such as Pfizer, Johnson & Johnson, Merck, and AbbVie.

Another example is the generals in the Pentagon.

After they retire, they can generally find a good position in companies such as Boeing, Raytheon, and General Dynamics.

This is the so-called revolving door, an American characteristic.

Unfortunately, large enterprises in a certain Eastern country also began to follow suit.

Robert was probably reminding Abel of this.

Because Abel’s current company does not yet have such consultants or re-employment personnel.

It's not that Abel doesn't do this.

Rather, all of Abel's companies either just appeared or were acquired not long ago.

Even if you want to play the revolving door, you haven't had time to start spinning yet.

Even if you want to recruit these retired and re-employed people, there are currently no suitable opportunities.

"I know what you mean." Abel thanked Robert for the reminder, "Thank you, Robert. I will do this."

Robert then smiled and nodded.

"Okay." Abel said with a smile: "We've finished talking about the business. Robert, are you really not going to go to Madison Square Garden with me? You don't have to go to watch the game. It's just a draft. It's an entertainment show."

"I don't like to see a lot of Ni brothers appearing in front of me." Robert Morgenthau was expressionless again.

"But Paige can go. Provided she is willing to go."

Abel thought to himself that Ikana and little Laura might both go.

Adding Peggy, who doesn't matter, wouldn't it be a world war?

He couldn't refuse easily, so he had to look at Peggy.

Fortunately, Peggy, who had been very quiet next to her, said calmly:

"I don't like basketball either. If it were Major League Baseball, I might watch it."

"Ha~" Abel breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's very simple. I will buy the Yankees in two days, and then I will invite you to watch baseball."

The New York Yankees are one of the baseball teams affiliated with the American League in Major League Baseball.

This team's home stadium is located in the Bronx, New York. It belongs to the American League East Division in the American League division, and because the team has a history of more than 100 years, it also has the most famous historical events in American sports history.

It is also one of the commercial sports teams with the most fans in New York, and is much more popular in New York than the basketball Knicks.
