Chapter 344 The Truth About Wall Street(2/3)
【Why】
But in his heart, Robert finally sighed deeply.
Originally, it didn't have to be that troublesome.
His eyes shifted from Peggy to Abel.
Originally, if Peggy and Abel could get married.
Robert felt that with Abel's character, he would die now.
For Paige and Morgenthau's influence in the legal community.
Robert felt that Abel would definitely take care of the Morgenthau family.
Unlike now, there is no such shortcut.
With my old body and bones, I still have to play in person.
Robert began to regret it again.
Inside the reception.
Just ten minutes after Abel announced that Bloomberg has officially become the mayor of New York City.
The reception finally officially started. In the golden hall of Hilton Garden Inn, cups and plates were interlaced and people were coming and going, creating a scene of upper class society.
Abel's side is naturally the most popular position.
But at this time, little Laura had come to him as his female companion.
Similarly, the wives of Buffett and several others also appeared beside them.
The last time Abel met at the White House, Buffett's wife was his second wife.
What Buffett brought here this time was his eldest wife and his ex-wife Susan.
Both of his wives are already old wives. After all, Buffett himself is also a bad old man.
Buffett's eldest wife and second wife were originally best friends.
Since they are best friends, there won't be much age difference.
They all followed Buffett very early, and the three of them have lived together for many years.
In Buffett's circle, everyone has long been accustomed to their existence.
I have to say that this move made Abel a little envious.
This bad old man is just playing the role of "equal wife" in a country like the United States.
The key is that except at the beginning, there were some bad and opposing voices on the female boxing side.
But after that, the three Buffetts lived together openly and went in and out of each other, but no one dared to fool the BB.
This is influence and the horror of habit.
Buffett's influence in all aspects has withstood the pressure.
Let everyone get used to Buffett having two wives and think it is common sense.
For Buffett and his two wives, the road ahead will be smooth.
Thinking of this, Abel couldn't help but look at little Laura.
Maybe you can do something like this yourself?
Now that the public can adjust to Buffett having two wives.
So why couldn't they adapt to Abe Smith having not two, not three, four, five, or even more wives?
For a moment, Abel felt that his future seemed to have new challenges.
Little Laura, who was talking to Susan with a chuckle, seemed to feel something.
She looked up at Abel and found Abel staring at her.
"What's the matter?" little Laura said softly.
In the whole cocktail party, it can be said that apart from Abel, the person who was most happy for Abel was definitely little Laura.
Just now, whether it was when Smith Capital's profits were announced, or when Abel was surrounded by so many big shots, his importance was fully demonstrated.
Among the female guests at the edge of the reception, little Laura has undoubtedly become the object of their most envy and jealousy.
This greatly satisfied little Laura's vanity.
At this moment, she was still in a very happy state, and her tone of voice when talking to Abel was particularly greasy.
"It's nothing." Abel said to her softly: "I'm thinking about where to take you to rest tonight. You know, I have too many places to live in New York."
Little Laura blushed a little. She hadn't slept in the same room with Abel for a month and a half.
As a woman, she sometimes thinks about it as her body grows.
But now that this was the occasion, she couldn't help but glance at him: "Pay attention to the occasion! Mr. Smith!"
Abel smiled slightly and looked up to see Buffett looking at him. He was about to ask Buffett for a hundred dollars.
At this time, a somewhat familiar voice sounded from behind him.
"Hi, Abel. Are you free? If you are, I think we can talk about it and get better results on many things."
Abel turned sideways and saw Soros, accompanied by several rich oil people, coming to the circle.
Only then did Abel realize that Buffett was probably not looking at him just now.
He should be looking at Soros walking over.
Abel said with a smile while holding little Laura's hand:
"Ah, George, you're here. You made me win a hundred dollars! I knew you would definitely come without an invitation!"
"." Soros.
"Mr. Smith, you have a sense of humor."
After a few seconds, Soros said: "Humor is a good quality. Each of us should be humorous, so that we can add some fun to our lives."
"That's great." Abel smiled and even clapped silently.
Then he said: "Well, George, can I call you this?"
Soros nodded slightly.
"George, what do you want to talk to me about? Now the media is saying that we are going to war over American Express. Whoever can get American Express will be the winner."
Faced with Abel's direct "provocation".
Soros didn't come here to talk to Abel about American Express.
Although American Express is important, it was never in Soros's plan.
Part of the reason why he was involved in American Express's stock was to look for opportunities to see if he could get some meat out of Abel's body.
Another part of the reason is to use this as a sign so that he can have more cards to play when facing Abel.
"Soros Fund currently holds about 8% of American Express' shares." George Soros said.
"If you want, I can sell it to you directly."
"What's the price?"
"I think" Soros started, then paused and looked around.
There is no doubt that Buffett, Soros, and Smith are all gathered together.
Next to him were Bloomberg and Sullivan, all super financial giants.
Just one or two of them can already attract much attention at any cocktail party.
Now that they are all together, even the two powerful figures Cheney and Richard Gephardt combined are not as attractive as they are.
After all, most of the guests tonight are rich people or top elites on Wall Street.
In the eyes of these people, it is estimated that even the two former commanders-in-chief, George and Zipperton, are standing here right now.
Not as attractive as these three people.
"This is not a place for conversation."
Soros said: "Maybe we can change the day and pick a place to talk. Oh, Warren, Sally, you can come if you want. The more people I want to talk to Abel about, the better."
Although the investment philosophies of Buffett and Soros can be said to be two extremes.
But the relationship between the two in private is actually okay.
Strictly speaking, the personal relationships among the alligators on Wall Street are not very bad.
These giants all understand that sometimes playing finance does not actually rely on talent, science, models, and calculations.
Except for the two mystical sciences of luck and prophecy.
Many times, if you want to make money in finance, you need more connections, relationships and information.
