Chapter 427 A Big Signboard(2/3)

But in the United States, where charity is just a business, they exist in such an open manner.

Don't think that the corruption of the Cross Society only happens in China.

Society's America will only get worse.

Needless to say how far away in time or future it is, just a few years ago, a shocking scandal broke out at the United States Charitable Foundation, the largest charitable foundation in the United States.

Taking a first-class flight, picking up and dropping off in a Lincoln limousine, X harassed female employees, and spent a lot of money to buy luxury homes and gifts for his lover...

A few years ago, it was revealed that William Aramoni, the CEO of the largest charitable organization in the United States, had misappropriated donations to satisfy his extravagant private life.

This major scandal is so serious that it has caused American philanthropy to fall back.

So... the crows in the world are as black as each other, so don’t laugh at anyone.

"My friend, you are so generous."

After counting a dozen different checks on the table, Bloomberg found that they added up to almost more than $4 million.

"When I did this in the past, I was paying protection fees. What I do now is because I was paying image maintenance fees."

Abel smiled and shook his head: "Fortunately, it's just some small money, just think of it as a hobby of mine."

"This is not small money, two to three billion US dollars a year... This hobby of yours is really expensive." Bloomberg said, shaking his head.

Abel said nothing and signed the last document.

The above is a charity fund established by the wife of one of the two senators from New York State, who is calling on Americans to build wells for black people in Africa.

He talks about Abel, but in fact, Bloomberg has not donated less than this kind of donation before.

It's just that the amount and quantity are not of the same magnitude as Abel.

This kind of donation is often very necessary.

If you take good care of yourself at ordinary times, the other party's requirements will be met, and when you need to use these contacts, you can get help with just a phone call.

To put it bluntly, this is also a transaction.

Similar to the revolving door situation, while the transfer of benefits is carried out openly, a bright charity plaque is hung.

With this layer of skin, people who don't know the truth see it and think that every rich man in the United States is a very generous and kind philanthropist.

In fact, if one ten thousandth of the money reaches the recipient of the donation, that means the recipient is a really good person.

Gee, how good is this?

One party benefits, the other party gets fame and help when necessary.

At the same time, this kind of behavior can also be used as the content of the United States' foreign propaganda and used as information for NGOs to brainwash the third world.

Brainwash the leeks and make them think that the wealthy entrepreneurs in the United States are all socially responsible and philanthropists.

The so-called beacon of the civilized world is washed out bit by bit in this way.

After closing the document and capping the pen, Abel looked up at Michael Bloomberg.

Bloomberg is actually not young anymore. He will be 60 years old after his birthday this year.

Fortunately, I am very rich and can enjoy the best longevity medical technology in the world, as well as have a powerful personal makeup artist and image designer.

The accumulation of money makes the 60-year-old Bloomberg look young and powerful, and he has the image of a powerful mayor of New York City.

"I've heard about what you did in the town hall, and I must say, well done, mate."

Abel stood up from the boss's chair and walked towards Bloomberg.

The two of them walked to the sofa in the office rest area together.

Bloomberg shrugged, "I have to do something to show the public that I am different from other mayors."

"Haha..." Abel patted him on the shoulder, "But I heard that you turned the mayor's office into a securities company."

Last year, Bloomberg was successfully elected mayor of New York City with the slogan "I am willing to serve the public with an annual salary of $1."

It has been two months since he took office. During this time, Bloomberg has transformed the 190-year-old traditional layout of the official office in New York City into a large trading floor-type room modeled after an investment bank.

He also placed many New York technicians and managers, even bureaucrats, like traders in financial firms.

Through this system, the city’s fire protection, public security, sanitation and other indicators are monitored in real time.

Externally, Bloomberg claims that optimizing management also applies to urban management, and that he will carefully plan the entire New York City.

This approach once aroused heated discussion in the United States.

Many people criticized him for turning the city hall into a financial company.

Fortunately, New York is the financial center of the United States and even the world.

There is a certain basis for doing this in New York.

In addition, the "attack" by Abel happened just after the heated discussion started.

With big influencers standing in the way, Bloomberg’s reform of the New York City government is not a big deal.

The two sat on the sofa, and the female assistant brought coffee.

As always, Abel's coffee is Rosemont Coffee. Bloomberg doesn't have any obsession with coffee beans, he just likes to drink iced Americano.

It's the kind with ice, bitter and thick, without any sugar or milk.

Many Chinese people drink it as a traditional Chinese medicine to boost their spirits.

Judging from the caffeine content, the practice of iced American style is indeed no different from traditional Chinese medicine.

"The city council has passed it."

After sitting down, Bloomberg took a sip of coffee and said with a chuckle: "The construction union has also informed us that it is not a big problem. The project can be approved, Mr. Funder."

"Ha--that's good news."

Abel said happily.

He has been working hard for more than a year, and even made a bet on Bloomberg in advance to build the Hudson Yards. Now everything is ready to be launched.

"Let's do what we agreed to do and form a Hudson Yards group."

Regarding the construction of wonders, the Chinese attributes in Abel's soul were suddenly activated.

"The issue of share allocation also refers to our previous decision."

Bloomberg nodded, "No problem. Come here today. In addition to telling you this matter, there is another thing."

"Um?"

"I want to ask you what you think about governing New York, or what your requirements are."

Hearing Bloomberg's question, Abel couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

"Mr. Mayor, this issue is your responsibility. You must know that the mayor of New York City is you, Michael Bloomberg, not me, Abel Smith."

"Don't say that to me." Bloomberg said angrily: "You know what I mean, Mr. Abel Smith."

After Bloomberg initially grasped the New York City government and took control of the work, he came over specifically to ask Abel this question.

It's not like Mr. Mayor has nothing to do.

It’s not that Bloomberg regards Abel as his own Zhuge Wuhou.

This is done because Bloomberg knows that even if he is the mayor of New York.

But New York is a place where the mayor has never had the final say.

In other words, this place has never even been decided by the New York authorities.

If you want to secure your position as New York City Mayor, you have to make a difference, or be able to make money.

That's not a simple thing.

Compared with other cities, New York, the largest city in the United States, is too crouching tiger, hidden dragon.

Regardless of others, Bloomberg knew that the guy in front of him was one of the most terrifying dragons and tigers in New York.

Even though Abel is from Texas, half of his real base is actually in New York City.

On Wall Street, Smith Capital has long been one of the six major investment banks, and the new Smith Financial is even more behemoth.

In the media industry, one of New York's strengths, Smith Media is one of the giants.

The most important thing is that while this guy is too rich, he is also too generous.

For donations like the one just mentioned, Bloomberg guessed that Abel would write at least a dozen checks a day on average!

Not to mention the rest of the United States.

Just in New York.

As far as Bloomberg knows, in New York, at least close to 90% of the various congressmen and powerful figures, regardless of whether they are donkeys or elephants, have received benefits from Abel.

Various influential journalists, writers, and influential figures have also received checks from him.

If Soros were the world, he would throw money at the media everywhere.

Then Abel was spreading money all over New York.
