Chapter 1327: Chapter 453: The Three Most Famous Men in Los Angeles (Part 3)
The California syndicate had not truly grown yet at this time.
The real opportunity for their growth came when Morgan set his sights on the Italian Bank. Next, Morgan would use his influence in the Federal Reserve to accuse the Italian Bank of monopoly under the name of the New York Federal Reserve Bank and force Amadei Gianini to sell 51% of the company’s shares.
Of course, privately, Morgan would acquire shares of the Italian Bank to achieve control over it.
Amadei Gianini, who was enjoying retirement in Italy, was forced to return to the United States to negotiate with Morgan...
This event would occur this year.
But that was also a matter for the future.
Today, Cameron Block, one of the most famous men in Los Angeles, held a luxurious yet understated party. The extravagance referred to the scale of the party, while the understatement stemmed from the few invitations focused mainly on the presidents of various major Hollywood studios.
However, the two most important invitees were Los Angeles’ other two most famous men, Maurice Rothschild and Ham Gianini!
Once outsiders learned of the party, countless Hollywood celebrities, figures from both political and business worlds in Los Angeles wanted an invitation to tonight’s event.
Some famous Hollywood actresses even went to the extent of sneaking into invited guests’ cars, hoping the guests would bring them to the party.
That night, Cameron Block’s manor was brightly lit, and even the tableware was made of silver. Various luxurious dishes were served.
Those who had previously attended a Charles Ponzi party finally understood what a real party was after seeing Cameron Block’s.
As the star of tonight’s party, Cameron Block, accompanied by his fiancée Emma Harrison, was greeting guests at the main entrance of the manor’s main building.
Maurice Rothschild arrived, accompanied by the famous Hollywood actress Norma Schiller.
"Haha, Mr. Block, today I was thinking at home about what excuse to use to invite you to my party, but unexpectedly received your invitation. It seems we had the same thought!"
Maurice Rothschild laughed loudly upon seeing Cameron Block.
Cameron Block returned the smile: "Why look for a reason? Shouldn’t you act on your thoughts? Just like me, today the whim struck and I wanted to hold a party, so I did!"
Maurice Rothschild nodded in agreement, saying: "Exactly, that’s how it should be!"
Maurice Rothschild’s arrival drew the attention of those already at the party, though Maurice Rothschild standing next to Cameron Block appeared like a fat pig beside him.
But no one cared, as long as they knew he was backed by the Rothschild Family.
Even if Maurice Rothschild were really a fat pig, everyone was still willing to associate with him. Moreover, everyone knew that the pig image was just his appearance.
While they exchanged pleasantries, a hearty laugh rang out behind them, gaining everyone’s attention.
Then they saw the source of the laughter, a man approximately 1.85 meters tall, with slightly curly hair and a rugged face, giving off a tough guy vibe.
The crowd’s gaze turned heated, for this was Ham Gianini, manager of the Italian Bank’s Los Angeles branch.
Unlike Maurice Rothschild, Ham Gianini came alone.
But this only drove the women at the event wild.
Cameron Block, Maurice Rothschild, and Ham Gianini had different situations.
Everyone knew Cameron Block was already engaged to Emma Harrison from the Harrison family, so there was no hope for them.
Maurice Rothschild was single but only interested in unmarried, single Hollywood actresses.
Ham Gianini was also single and flamboyant, but unlike Maurice Rothschild, Ham Gianini liked women who had boyfriends or husbands.
No matter the preferences of Cameron Block and the other two, any woman in Los Angeles would unhesitatingly dedicate herself if noticed by them.
If given a choice, these women would prefer Ham Gianini!
Because based on appearance, Maurice Rothschild would be immediately ruled out.
As for Cameron Block...
Everyone glanced at Emma Harrison next to Cameron Block. She had been living in Los Angeles for a while now.
Naturally, the women in Los Angeles were aware of her madness.
Previously, rumors circulated about Cameron Block having some ambiguous relationship with a Hollywood actress, and shortly after this news broke, the actress was reported to have committed suicide by jumping.
No one had concrete evidence linking this incident to Emma Harrison, but this was the assumption.
Women sought connection with those three men to climb the social ladder, not to meet their demise.
Thus, the remaining option was Ham Gianini.
Some women would even find themselves a boyfriend or fiancé to attract Ham Gianini’s attention.
"Gentlemen, as I recall, this is the first time you both have appeared at the same event. Has your family decided to reconcile?"
Ham Gianini said openly.
Meanwhile, his eyes lingered on Emma Harrison and Norma Schiller!
Cameron Block smiled: "The Block Family and the Rothschild Family have never had a conflict, so there’s no need for reconciliation. However, Ham, you need to stay calm today. I’ve heard that the Rothschild Family has connected with Morgan and plans to take action against your Italian Bank!"
