America's Road to Wealth

Here comes Charlie Schaff.

This Merrill Lynch executive was at the banquet hosted by Barron Hilton tonight.

Belongs to one of the higher-level guests.

His every move can easily attract other guests at the banquet.

Most people's attention, including the owner Barron Hilton.

Besides, Charlie Scharf wasn't alone.

Behind him, there are four other Wall Street giants.

For a while, this was in the golden banquet hall.

The originally inconspicuous corner suddenly became the place that attracted the most attention from the audience.

This phenomenon, let this evening, stay with Grandpa Barron Hilton.

Paris Hilton, who was very happy, suddenly became a little less happy.

the reason is simple.

Because originally everyone's attention and eyes were on her.

Well, actually on her grandpa.

But she has always been by Grandpa's side, and Grandpa is willing to take her with him.

Paris felt that this was equivalent to herself, attracting so much attention.

This is one of the greatest honors for a girl like her from a rich family.

But now, everyone's attention is all there.

Especially over there, there was the woman she hated the most in New York.

The young Miss Paris Hilton was even more upset.

It's just that she was in a bad mood, and it didn't affect Charlie Schaff.

When Charlie Schaff came over, the target seemed to be D. Ted Lerner.

He chatted with D. Ted Lerner with a smile—

Dear Ted, you've done a great job this year.

The audience rating of the Miss Young America contest was 0.9%, and the audience rating of the Miss Universe contest was 1.2%.

Especially the latter, which is an excellent result.

Even if it is compared with the ratings of Miss World, it is not much worse.

The Miss Teen America and Miss Universe that Charlie Schaff refers to are two beauty pageants jointly organized by D. Ted Lerner and NBC.

Although they are two beauty pageants, they are actually one and the same.

Every year, the winner of the Miss Young America Contest will be selected first.

Then the champion will represent America,

Participate in the Miss Universe beauty pageant.

So the two are actually the same, and the right to host both is also in the hands of D. Ted Lerner.

He bought it in 1996, but not exclusively, but co-owned and co-hosted with NBC, which is NBC.

NBC is one of the three major commercial broadcasting and television companies in the United States, and its strength is beyond doubt.

Otherwise, D. Ted Lerner, a real estate businessman, would not be able to hold such a beauty contest that requires the cooperation of TV stations.

After hearing what Charlie Schaff said, Ted suddenly said:

Charlie, your data may be wrong.

On the night of the finals of the Miss Young America Contest, the ratings had already exceeded 1.2%.

On the night of the Miss Universe finals, the number of viewers exceeded 9 million!

Compared to 0.6% and 5 million people watching in 1995, it has increased by more than 50%. Especially the latter, the increase is close to 100%.

So I can say, I'm not doing very well. I'm doing very, very, very well!!

After finishing these data,

D. Ted Lerner proudly compared the two thumbs, as if he was giving a speech, and said with a smile:

No one knows beauty pageants better than me! Only I can bring Miss Universe back to life!

Charlie Schaff: Uh

The chief financial officer of Merrill Lynch, the reason why he mentioned the beauty pageant was just to find a topic to intervene in.

For this kind of annual profit, it will not exceed 50 million US dollars, and the risk is extremely high, and it is very cumbersome.

He's not interested.

Just when Charlie Schaff was left speechless by D. Ted Lerner's I Get It.

Lehman's CFO, Mr. Bryn Bulley, has already come over.

CFO is an acronym for Chief Financial Officer, a position that is very important in financial companies.

Sometimes even more powerful than the CEO.

Bryn Bulley, like Charlie Schaff, is the chief financial officer of their respective banks.

Compared to Charlie Schaff who talked to D. Ted Lerner first after he came over.

Bryn Bulley is obviously much more direct.

This Lehman executive did not care about D. Ted Lerner, who was hated by the rich circles in New York.

He smiled directly at David Mellon who was standing with Abel:

Dear David.

If my guess is correct, the person next to him must be Mr. Abel Smith?

Seeing him being so direct, Charlie Schaff next to him couldn't help but widen his eyes.

Obviously I came first!

Charlie Scharf glanced helplessly at D. Ted Lerner.

The latter was very interested and wanted to continue discussing with him about the Miss Universe pageant.

David Mellon laughed and said softly:

Yes, this is my boss.

Abel stretched out his hand at the right time and said with a smile, Abel Smith, Smith Capital.

Hi, Mr. Smith. I'm Bryn Bulley from Lehman. Brin Bulley smiled happily.

What's the use of Charlie Schaff having a thick skin first?

After all, he wasn't really the thickest-skinned, so he foolishly went to talk to D. Ted Lerner first.

New Yorkers, who doesn't know D. Ted Lerner.

Still young and unreliable, Bryn Bulley thought.

But he looked at the younger Abel and David Mellon, and hesitated to overthrow this idea.

Some people are very young, but he really seems to be reliable.

at this time,

Sally Winston, President, PNC Financial Services Group,

John Reid, President of Citibank, and William Rhodes, Senior Vice President of Citibank, also walked in front of them.

Like Bryn Bulley, these three didn't care about D. Ted Lerner after they came here.

Unlike Charlie Schaff, they greeted Abel and David straight away and introduced themselves.

Abel's response was the same as that of Bryn Bulley.

Say hello with a smile and introduce yourself.

Abel, who felt that the time was right, was already willing to contact these Wall Street giants.

These Wall Street giants finally had the opportunity to contact him, and they were all very proactive.

The two parties can say that they are in love with each other, and they have a close heart to each other.

Once contacted, chatting started, and then it went very smoothly.

Within a few minutes, these guys with extremely high IQs understood a little bit of what Abel meant.

That is.

He had been aloof before, blind to many Wall Street cues.

Even Smith Capital with a cold face.

I feel like letting go.

This made these giant crocodiles who just wanted to come here to get close and get acquainted with each other, all of them felt the joy of unexpected gains.

And the host of the banquet tonight, who was originally elsewhere and has always been admired by the stars.

The second generation in power of the Hilton family, Barron Hilton is considered to be one of the most outstanding second-generation rich men.

The old man also smiled, and walked towards this side with his granddaughter and several other people.

36-37 is harmonious, I don't even know how to change it, I can't release it after a big change, and it takes two days to continue to apply for review, it hurts.

It should be about Ah Dang and his daughter. Others can write about it, but I can’t because I’m probably being reported. I will revise the outline later to reduce their appearance.

Because 36-37 was banned, posting an extra chapter today is considered compensation
