Chapter 420 In the bathroom

  Soros has been funding several influential people in various countries around the world for many years.

   According to data, as of 2020, Soros' total investment in this area is about 32 billion US dollars.

  The "philanthropist" also pays for global news.

  A large number of journalists, TV hosts, editors and media owners have received money from Soros.

  American Media Research Center, which lists many famous American figures.

  The center also claimed that Soros was throwing money all over the world, but not aimlessly.

  For example, he gave generously to some Latin American media known for their opposition to Bagu and Venezuela.

  He also spent $60 million just to silence dozens of Latin American journalists.

  Soros is also the two well-known activists of the Donkey Party, Rocto and Valencia, and is the master behind the Latino Media Company led by these two people.

  The significance of the establishment of the company is to infiltrate and control Latin American media.

  In addition to large investments abroad.

  In the United States, Soros will not be stingy either.

  As far as Abel knows, several people related to Soros spent $60 million last year to take control of 18 Spanish-language radio stations in Los Angeles, New York, Miami, Dallas, and San Antonio.

  The audience for these radio stations reaches about one-third of Hispanic Americans.

   And these are just Soros' investment in the right to speak in Latin American media.

   If you count Europe and Asia, the number will be even more.

   In Africa, Soros has not invested much.

  Because of the African buddies, they don't know a lot of ligatures.

  In most areas, even TV or radio signals cannot be received.

  In Africa, there is no influential and serious media at all.

  Even if Soros wanted to invest in control, he couldn't find the direction and channel.

   It is precisely because of this aspect that it is particularly willing to spend money.

   So when Soros and his companions were in need.

  George Soros can often easily promote the public opinion they need within those small countries or regions.

  Use the power of these public opinions to leverage the economic trends of small countries and regions, and finally achieve a situation that makes their economies and currencies turbulent.

   At this time, Soros and his friends will start to harvest.

  In this process, it is often accompanied by the national will of the United States.

   Often there will be a large number of ClAs to cooperate with Soros and their actions.

  Under multiple influences, most countries whose economies cannot be independent will suffer heavy losses under Soros' three axes.

   These examples are too many.

  97 Southeast Asian economic crisis, 98 Han country economic crisis, 99 Maozi exchange rate crisis, 2000 Brazil foreign exchange crisis, etc. localized and regional economic turmoil.

  There are Soros and the others everywhere, as well as ClA.

   Of course, the so-called flies do not bite seamless eggs.

  These small countries can be harvested over and over again.

  There are naturally many problems with their own system and economic situation.

  If everything is healthy and all can be independent.

   No matter how powerful Soros is, he can't cut it.

  For example...Han Guo's own brother, there is no way to give Soros more means.

   Another example is a rabbit that is stable and conservative and does not give it a chance. Soros wants to cut it but can't.

  As George Soros's former enemy, current ally and partner.

  Abel knew that Soros was actually not terrible.

   What is scary is the oilman capital behind him, as well as the international hot money that will enter the market at any time.

   In many cases, it is these international hot money that control the situation of the battle.

  Many of them are even central banks and national teams of major powers.

  Many times, it was Soros who discovered the flaw and launched the charge.

  Oiler Capital entered the market and began to move.

  Other international hot money found that it was profitable, and they also mixed some soup behind their backs.

   In this way, it is easy to form a mighty gang of financial robbers.

  Those small countries, how could they bear it.

  NOK was an accident.

  If there is no Abel, even Norway is a developed country with a strong foreign exchange fund.

  As long as the international hot money can work together, Norway will also be unable to please.

  Norway was able to avoid it because their upper echelon was very decisive.

  After discovering Abel, he can influence the movement of more than 1/3 of the international hot money.

  They resolutely cast heavy interest and pulled Abel over.

  So it became Aberga Norway, and a large number of international hot money jumped over.

  Let’s face each other with the tip of the needle.

   Plus changes in the international situation.

   Only then did Norway avoid heavy losses.

   Like now, Soros and the others are eyeing Argentina again.

  Argentina's economic situation used to be very good, but now it is a weeping country.

   It can be said that there is nothing but football and beef and lamb.

  This time, it is estimated that a wave of blood will be severely injected.

  In Manhattan, New York, in the banquet hall of the Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

   "...Then it's settled."

   Soros concluded enthusiastically.

  He just discussed with Abel how to cooperate with Argentina.

   Nor do they shy away from the Hearst sisters.

  Because as early as two months ago, there were international media reports that Soros and international hot money were eyeing Argentina.

  Similar reports have frequently appeared in the past two months.

  As long as Argentina is not stupid, they will know about it.

  But even knowing about this kind of thing is useless.

  Because if there is no problem with one's own economy and the country's situation.

   Then there is no need to be afraid of people like Soros.

   On the contrary, when the economy and the stability of the country have appeared.

  That is in the current international society dominated by the Angsans and the West.

   It's like being in a sea area with sharks, halfway through swimming and suddenly bleeding heavily.

  The smell of blood is bound to attract the sharks, this is a very certain thing.

  Even if Amanda and Lydia heard about these things, it would not have much impact if they told the Argentines.

   Unless they can follow Soros all the time and leak all his methods and means.

   Otherwise, it is equivalent to an international report by the financial media.

   Both Soros and Abel knew this.

   This is also the reason why the two said these things in front of the Hearst sisters.

   It doesn't feel like a secret at all.

   "Of course. You know, my agricultural company needs a lot of high-quality land. The United States is not easy to do. I'm doing foreign ones."

Abel smiled and said: "Bird Crane and Argentina are very good, especially the former, but it's a pity that there is a bear watching next to it. Then we can only settle for the next best thing and see if we can get some for us Americans in Argentina." land that produces food."

  Soros nodded: "No problem, we each take what we need."

   After finishing the conversation, Soros looked at the Hester sisters for the first time.

  Looking at the glamorous two sisters.

  The old guy's face showed the same expression as Bloomberg just now.

   "Huh... two beautiful ladies here. We waste so much time talking about things that don't matter. It's my fault, it shouldn't be."

  The old guy smiled and stood up, "I won't bother you from now on. The two Miss Hurst, and my dear friends, I hope you can have a pleasant evening."

   After finishing speaking, this guy, like Bloomberg, turned around with a smile and left.

   When Soros walked away, he saw the Hearst sisters looking at him.

  Abel waved his hand:

   "What do these guys think of me? Am I such a playboy? No, I'm different from Hugh Hefner."

  Amanda thought, Of course you are not like Hugh Hefner.

  Hugh Hefner has many girlfriends, yes, but his girlfriends rarely last longer than a month.

  His girlfriends, to be precise, are just hot friends.

  It’s not like you, the famous one raised another, and you actually gave birth to an illegitimate child...

   Feeling a little resentful in her heart, Amanda blurted out:

   "Sometimes I'd rather wish you were Hugh Hefner. Then maybe we'd have..."

  Abel raised his eyebrows, laughed and said to the two sisters:

   "This assumption is not true. If I were really Hugh Hefner, then Mr. and Ms. Hearst would never let you get close to me."

  He was right.

   Regardless of most men in the world, they are extremely envious of Hugh Hefner.

   This guy is said to have had 2,000 girlfriends in his life, and he is a beauty harvester.

   When she was almost 90 years old, she also married a 26-year-old "granddaughter" model.

   But in fact, even if he became a billionaire because of "Playboy", he is the bottom group in the chain of contempt of the rich.

   People in the entertainment industry, whether it’s those in Las Vegas, or those in the San Fernando Valley, or people like Hugh Hefner.

   Apart from being rich, their social status in the United States is not high.

  In the eyes of those traditional giants, such as Morgan and Shush, they are even more obscene things.

  If Abel was Hugh Hefner, a traditional wealthy family like Hearst would definitely keep their daughters as far away as possible.

   Not to mention wanting to marry the daughter of the bush family.

   Glued on, it was an insult to them all.

  Looking at Amanda who was silenced by his own words.

  Abel smiled lightly, and then showed a serious expression for the first time in front of the two sisters.

   "Amanda, I know what you think. I'm actually very happy to be liked by a beautiful girl like you."

   "But have you ever thought about it, in my current situation. It is difficult for us to have the kind of good results you imagined."

   "I think... you can understand me."

   "Think about it, don't regret it."

   The atmosphere is suitable, and Abel is also a little bored.

  He's going to have a showdown with Amanda.

   "You are a good girl. You shouldn't do this. You think about it carefully and think about it."

   He looked at Amanda Hearst and said.

"I…"

  Amanda didn't expect him to be so direct, her delicate face was a little anxious, and she opened her small mouth to say something.

  Abel stood up and said to the two sisters:

   "That's it. I saw that Winston is here too. I won't accompany you. I hope you can have a good time tonight."

   After finishing speaking, Abel also got up and left.

  Go to Soros, Sullivanston and others who are talking to Bloomberg.

  Edward and Lincoln also left.

  On the side of the sofa booth, there are only two sisters left.

  Looking at my cousin's gloomy and pretty face.

   Lydia whispered worriedly:

   "Amanda, are you okay? I'm a little worried about you."

  Lydia's words did not get her response immediately.

   "Amanda, I actually think so too, like he..."

  Lydia wanted to persuade again in a low voice.

   At this time, Lydia heard Amanda speak.

  I saw a smile on her originally gloomy face.

  That smile made Lydia feel a little creepy.

   "I'm fine. Lydia, I'm fine. His words actually strengthened my determination."

  I saw Lydia's cousin, and said softly:

   "I know what to do next. Believe me, I'm really fine."

   Lydia opened her mouth, but did not make a sound.

  She felt the expression of her cousin now.

  It is very similar to the slightly nervous smile that my mother occasionally shows unconsciously.

   Lydia chose to keep her mouth shut.

  Abel's side, after he took the initiative to walk out of the booth.

   Did not wait for him to get close to Bloomberg et al.

   Someone came up.

   "Mr. Smith, can we have a chat?"

  Across Edward, Abel looked at the old man, and then a smile appeared on his face:

   "Good evening, Mr. Newhouse. Of course, how about we walk and talk?"

"no problem."

   His position in New York is not much inferior to that of Hearst. Shi Yi Newhouse, the helm of Condé Nast Group and one of the core figures of the Newhouse family, said with a smile.

  Edward stepped aside, and the old man walked up to Abel.

  Compared to Abel, the old guy in his 70s is not very tall, he is much shorter than him, and he is not as tall as Abel's shoulders.

   Standing beside Abel, Newhouse even had to look up to see the expression on Abel's face.

   "I want to apologize to you for my brother Donald. Mr. Smith, Donald has decided to reconcile with Ms. Anna Wintour."

   "George and Michael are good friends. I think we can be good friends too."

  Shi Yi Newhouse said gently.

  Abel lowered his head and looked at one of the legends of American publishing.

   As one of the two sons of Samuel Newhouse, Shi Yi Newhouse is one of the big oil men in New York.

   "I like to have friends. I like to have many friends and few enemies."

  Abel smiled, and said in the same gentle voice: "It would be great if it could end peacefully."

   "Oh, that's great. Mr. Smith, you said that, I am really relieved. The Newhouse family likes to have friends like you very much!" Shi Yi Newhouse said with a smile.

   "That's what I mean, but..." Abel glanced around the banquet hall, and then said with a smile:

   "Another Mr. Newhouse, he is the main character of our misunderstanding. Why didn't I see him?"

   Shi Yi Newhouse’s younger brother, Donald Newhouse, is also the main controller of Condé Nast Group.

  The two brothers shared most of Condé Nast's shares equally.

   Both of them are super rich in the Forbes list, ranking more than 100 perennially.

  If the wealth of the two brothers is added up, it is estimated that they can enter the top 70.

   The Newhouse who had a conflict with Anna Wintour, or let the devil of fashion backstab Condé Nast Group, all resolutely chose to quit was Shiyi Newhouse's younger brother Donald.

   "Donald went to Ms. Wintour to apologize. He swore to me that Ms. Wintour would forgive him. So he didn't come."

   Shi Yi Newhouse said.

  Abel smiled, knowing that what Shi Yi Newhouse said was half true and half false.

  Donald will apologize to Anna Wintour?

  He didn't quite believe it.

   But to make Anna Wintour "forgive".

   There are many ways.

   Even with Abel, many methods cannot be used.

  But even with Abel, some methods will still work.

  Like...Sweet Franklin.

   For the sake of Wells Fargo or Citibank's check, I believe that Anna Wintour's "forgiveness" to Donald Newhouse will not come too late.

   "Okay. As long as Ms. Wintour agrees, then we will stop here this time, how about it, Mr. Newhouse."

   "That's great." Shi Yi Newhouse laughed, and stretched out his hand that already had age spots, "It's a deal, Mr. Smith."

  Abel smiled and shook hands with him.

  In the banquet hall, many people saw this scene.

   This scene let many people know.

  The conflict of "Smith VS Newhouse" on the hustle and bustle a while ago, it seems that it should be resolved tonight.

  Many people regret that this conflict did not really start.

  Let them have less chance to fish in troubled waters or watch a good show.

   There are also people who are happy, such as those oil people who have a good relationship with Abel.

  Like this evening, the host of the banquet, Bloomberg walked over with a smile.

   "Seeing you like this, I am really happy that I am hosting this banquet tonight."

   "My friends, please enjoy this pleasant evening."

  Shi Yi Newhouse nodded with a smile, and Abel also smiled back.

  The three of them got together and chatted.

   After a while, George Soros also came over, as well as several other New York Oilers.

   After all, it is Bloomberg's home court, and the Oilers are of course powerful.

   What's more, Oilers Capital itself is extremely powerful and is one of the big forces in New York.

  Abel chatted with them.

   "Oh, sorry. Excuse me, I drank too much water. I need to go to the bathroom and wash my face."

  Even if the kidney function is extremely strong, Abel is still a normal person.

  He also has the three urges that human beings have.

  There is a lot of inventory in the bladder, of course I have to go to the toilet to solve it.

  Leaving the crowd, accompanied by Edward and Lincoln, Abel walked to the bathroom in the banquet hall.

   This Waldorf Astoria hotel in midtown Manhattan has an excellent location, just an 11-minute walk from Fifth Avenue.

   Surrounded by famous attractions such as United Nations Headquarters, Empire State Building, Times Square, Metropolitan Museum of Art, Rockefeller Center, and Broadway.

  The interior decoration of the hotel is also extravagant.

   Around the banquet hall, there are a large number of restrooms.

   Only in this way can a super party with a number of sometimes more than 500 people be able to meet the physiological needs of the guests.

  The bathroom Abel goes to is the one closest to him.

   To get to this toilet, you need to walk through a corridor of about 10 meters.

  The walls of this corridor are two weeks old, painted with a large number of murals, they are a little golden under the light.

  This is because gold powder, silver powder and fine-grained diamonds are added to the raw materials for painting them.

  It is said that the murals on both sides of this corridor cost more than one million dollars.

   It was a million dollars in the Gilded Age when dollar purchases were extremely valuable.

   Americans in the Gilded Age loved this exaggerated tone.

   Well, Americans seem to like this style too.

   Like Ted Lerner, the real estate tycoon, he especially likes to decorate with gold.

   Come to the door of one of the bathrooms in the banquet hall.

  Abel looked at it, and it hung on the left and on the right.

  Abel took a step forward, and Edward suddenly said: "No, the house number has been changed. When I came in to check the terrain, it wasn't like this."

   Have a situation?

  Abel looked at Edward and Lincoln, "Then why hesitate? Go, notify Bloomberg."

  Lincoln immediately turned around, put one hand on his bulging waist, and walked back.

  Edward moved closer to Abel, covering Abel's body with his larger body than Abel.

  The cooperation between the two bodyguards can be described as full of tacit understanding.

  The three quickly returned to the art corridor they had just passed, only to find a girl walking this way.

   It's Lydia, Lydia Hearst.

  Seeing Abel and the other three rushing out quickly, Lydia was obviously taken aback.

  Abel was also taken aback.

  But he signaled Lincoln to pass Lydia, and when he passed by, he directly took her hand and took her away without any explanation.

  While walking, he said: "Miss Hurst, there is something going on inside. Someone has changed the number of the bathroom. Let's notify Mr. Bloomberg and let him deal with it."

  Lydia was led away, she was startled when she heard what he said, and then anxiously wanted to shake off his hand.

   "Mr. Smith, there is no danger. It's not what you think, it's actually…"

   "Huh?" At the end of the art corridor, Abel stopped and looked at Lydia.

   "You seem to know something, Miss Hurst."

  Looking at the serious Abel, and the two scary bodyguards beside him.

   Lydia woke up.

  This gentleman was attacked not long ago.

   is very sensitive to this kind of thing.

  Lydia did not dare to procrastinate any longer. She glanced at Abel cautiously, and then whispered:

   "The number plate of the bathroom was changed by Amanda and I. Amanda was inside, and she asked me to put a maintenance sign outside this corridor to prevent other people from entering after you go in..."

   "Why are you doing this?" Abel frowned.

  Looking at his appearance, Lydia hesitated again and again, and finally summoned up her courage.

   "Amanda wants, wants, wants... I can't say it. But I promise, there is absolutely no safety issue. Except us, it's just Amanda."

  Abel thought for a while, looked up to Lincoln and Edward and said, "Lincoln accompanied me and Miss Hurst out. Edward, you stay and check."

   After speaking, without waiting for Lydia to object, he took her hand and left.

  Ten minutes later, Abel's figure reappeared in front of the women's bathroom whose house number had been changed.

  Edward has checked, there is no hidden door here.

   It is true that there is only one woman in thin clothes, hiding in the women's bathroom with a different house number.

  Check through special life detection tools. Judging by the infrared signs, it should be Amanda Hearst.

  Now, Abel looks at this Amanda, what exactly is he trying to do.

  Hotel toilet play?

  The man said no, but his body was very honest.

   He opened the bathroom door.

   Impressively inside, looking at Amanda Hearst standing behind the door.

   "Looks like he knows I'm here, doesn't he?" she said.
