…

These gold jewelry stores are just part of the assets of the Kleiman family.

Even the most inconspicuous kind.

The Kleiman family owns an investment bank, a securities house, an auction house, 14 diamond shops, 18 pawn shops, and 25 gold jewelry shops.

These are just the physical parts of this family.

In addition, the Kleiman family sits on Motorola's board of directors.

It is said that when Motorola set up a factory near Chicago, the Kleiman family successfully exchanged part of the land and a factory for shares of Motorola that are now worth so much.

In addition, the Kleiman family is also an important member of the board of directors of Citigroup.

Because the largest share of the former local bank in Chicago, the First Federal Bank of Chicago, was controlled by their family!

Currently, Smith Bonney, president of Citibank’s Chicago branch, once owned shares of First Federal Bank of Chicago.

And it is rumored that he has a close relationship with the Kleiman family.

Later, he was able to be elected branch president in the Chicago metropolitan area because of the Kleiman family's contribution.

So, when Oscar the White Bear entered the banquet hall.

Smith, who had been talking to Baldwin Clayman, took the initiative to stand up and greet him.

And introduce it to the people around you.

"Hey, Michael, this is Oskar Bembernek, that awesome guy I talked to you about last time!"

Smith introduced to a white man with a short head: "This is Michael Armstrong, who is now the president of the San Francisco branch of Citibank."

With his usual smile on his face, Oscar shook hands with the branch manager.

"This is Peter Furyk, Cook County State's Attorney..."

Oscar and this state prosecutor are considered acquaintances.

Many of his men were sent to prison by the other party in the past.

Of course, this does not affect Oscar, who smiles and shakes hands with Prosecutor Peter at this moment.

"Oh, by the way, there is also this beautiful lady, Alicia. She was our original dream girl, and somehow she was captured by this boy Peter!"

Wearing a black suit and blue tie, Peter looked like a gentleman. He was not angry, but instead put his hand on the waist of the extremely beautiful woman with a red crotch and a proud look on his face.

"Ha, I know, Smith, you still care that your pursuit of Alicia was unsuccessful, hehe..."

Smith rolled his eyes: "If I hadn't married you, how could Alicia, who was already the title lawyer of a Chicago law firm, quit the legal profession!"

In response, Alicia just smiled like a lady and didn't care much.

Oscar has no in-depth knowledge of the past between the three of them.

But he did know a little about Alicia, a woman.

Not referring to the personal aspect.

It's about the legal business.

Oscar the White Bear heard someone say that after the arrest of former O Street tycoon Oded Reed, people from the Chicago Police Department went to the Nago Law Firm where Alicia worked.

Not only that, I heard that later a lawyer from this law firm, who represented Ald Reed, was shot and killed in front of his home.

It seems that the lawyer is still Chinese...

Oscar the White Bear learned all these things on his own free time.

He was naturally curious about the specific inside story, but would not ask it face to face.

Let Smith take him with him and continue to communicate with the people in the banquet hall.

Of course, Smith was just leading people towards some people with good connections.

Characters like Inspector Tim and Inspector Fielding are not suitable for Oscar the White Bear to face face to face, so Smith will naturally not take him there.

Along the way, Oscar the White Bear had a very skilled smile on his face.

Communicate with many people.

In some cases, Smith only introduces people by name.

Some will say more.

For such people, Oscar the White Bear will take the initiative to reach out.

"This is the Chicago head of the International Telephone and Telegraph Company..."

"This is the general manager of Hannover Company..."

"This is Christopher Percy, a member of the board of directors of Marietta Company. Christopher, I haven't seen you for a while. Why do you look so fat? Are you starting to lose control of your appetite again?"

?”

"Hahaha, Smith, are you still talking about me?"

"Haven't you gained a lot of weight?"

A middle-aged man holding a backless blonde girl in his arms smiled and shook hands with Oscar the White Bear.

"I think you should do less of the things you love to do. I don't want to hear the news that you are hospitalized one day..."

Smith smiled and joked with him.

Then lead Oscar the White Bear forward.

During this time, Oscar the White Bear had noticed.

There seemed to be a lot of people at the scene, and they moved around casually.

Actually it is not.

The crystal chandelier hanging in the middle serves as an invisible line.

Some people only walk on the left side, and some only walk on the right side.

On the left is where Smith shuttles back and forth with Oscar the white bear.

This side is centered around that Baldwin Clayman.

Everyone would glance at him from time to time while talking.

Perhaps, this is just a subconscious action.

But the more this is the case, the more it explains the problem.

Similarly, there is a center point on the right side.

That is the chairman of Sears Corporation, Charles Dorman.

This old man was sitting on a specially moved sofa.

There are many people around me.

There are some people inside whom Oscar the White Bear knows.

Some I don’t recognize.

Most of the people he knew were Superintendent Tim of the Chicago Police Department and Inspector Fielding, local Chicagoans who had interacted with him.

There are also some people who have been mentioned in media reports.

For example, Wall Street tycoon Gordon Gekko, and Kmart's successor, Nicole Kmart, who has been gaining momentum recently and is considered by the media to be the most likely to overthrow Sears Group's top spot.

However, judging from the cautious look on the face of the successor of Kmart Group when facing Charles Dorman.

He is very clear about the gap between Kmart Group and Sears Group.

A few words of praise from the media will not float you to the sky, and you will be nowhere to be found.

But there is one thing that makes Oscar the White Bear slightly concerned.

The successor of the Kmart Group, and the man next to him who seemed to be his close friend, all looked at him with some inexplicable hostility.

Oscar the White Bear knew that there was absolutely no way he had ever interacted with the other person.

Then, the source of the other party's inexplicable hostility may be caused by his identity.

Oscar the White Bear didn't care about this.

He knew in his heart that as long as he wanted to go up, he would definitely meet such people.
