Domination in America, Starting from being a Boxing Champion-Chapter 463 - 381 Big Uncle’s Party

Leaving the set, Link drove back to his Woolworth Building apartment to change clothes, and then with Ivanka, he went to the wealthy villa area on the west side of Central Park where his eldest uncle, Edward Thomp, lived.

Edward Thomp was Ivanka's older brother, thirty years old this year, and served as the vice president of the Thomp Group's real estate company, a quite ordinary second-generation rich kid.

Link had met him at a party at the old Thomp family house before, so he was no stranger when they met again.

"Hi, Edward, happy birthday."

Link handed over the birthday gift that Ivanka had picked out.

"Haha, thanks! Link, it's so great that you could come. We definitely have to drink a few more glasses tonight."

Edward Thomp extended his arms and gave him a warm hug.

Link chuckled softly, patted his shoulder, and upon seeing Tiffany coming over, asked her what she had been up to lately and why she hadn't visited Ivanka.

Tiffany glanced at Ivanka next to her, rolled her eyes, and said she was still a student with classes every day; she didn't have time to visit daily. She complained that even if she wanted to go, someone wouldn't welcome her, hinting at Ivanka.

Ivanka snorted lightly, saying that since Tiffany became an internet celebrity, she was glued to her phone and computer all day, filming everything; she had failed three subjects in her final exams.

To keep her from continuing to fool around like that, her computer was confiscated, and her social media accounts were strictly monitored, allowing her to post only one message a day until she started college.

"Link, you be the judge. Do you think what Eva is doing is right? Isn't she violating my human rights?"

Tiffany pouted, her round and plump face filled with discontent.

Link glanced at Ivanka's stern face and said with a smile, "Your sister is just looking out for you."

"Forget it, pretend I didn't ask."

Tiffany waved her hand and said, "Selena told me that you're even stricter with her, nagging her every day about getting enough sleep, exercising, reading books, and you even made a long reading list for her. What's worse is that last month, when you went to Huaxia for your concert tour, you brought back a hundred SAT practice tests and forced her to do them. Selena says her eyes are going blind from reading and she feels like vomiting from doing the tests. Oh, poor Selena."

"Practice tests? Sounds pretty good. Are such papers available on Amazon? I'll buy a hundred for Tiffany to work on too."

Ivanka asked with interest.

Tiffany's face changed, and she shook her head frantically at Link with a scowl.

Link cruelly nodded and said they were available.

Tiffany glared at the two of them and walked away huffily.

Link smiled softly and, taking Ivanka's hand, walked into the party. Today's party was filled with young people, many of whom he knew.

Among them were the likes of Kunas, Peter Peltz, David Zakman, Luther Detsky, Josie Epstein, and the Georgia Bloomberg and Amanda Hearst sisters, as well as the Hilton sisters, and many other familiar faces. Most were rich second, third, or fourth-generation wealthy, with Link being the only first-generation rich amongst them.

"Little Epstein is here? How come I didn't know he was also your friend?"

Ivanka asked in a light tone.

"Haha, we've had a few drinks together—Little Epstein is a pretty fun guy."

Edward laughed.

"I have to say, your taste in friends is still pretty bad. Not a single respectable person among them."

Ivanka said coldly.

Edward's eyes twitched as he looked towards Link with a wry smile.

Link, with his arm around Ivanka's waist, said that today was Edward's birthday and to not spoil the mood with such talk.

Ivanka glanced at him and held back from saying more.

Edward breathed a sigh of relief, winked gratefully at Link, and pointed to a young man next to Kunas, saying, "Eva, I've made some progress too; take a look at who that is."

Link and Ivanka looked over. Across from Kunas stood a young man in a red suit, about twenty-six or twenty-seven, with short brownish-blond hair and a clean-cut, handsome look.

Despite the presence of rather wealthy second-generation rich like David Zakman and several New York officials' offspring amid the group, the man in the red suit still held center stage, surrounded by a group of admirers.

"David Ellison?"

The eldest son of Oracle President Larry Ellison, who at the beginning of 2010, had a net worth of 28 billion US dollars, ranking sixth in the Forbes global billionaires list.

"Haha, correct. I met him at an underwear—ahem, a high-end fashion show party. He's now the president of Skydance Media and has made a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars on his own without relying on family. He's a very accomplished guy. We get along pretty well," Edward said somewhat proudly.

"Hey, Link, Mr. Link Baker, I'm delighted to see you here. My name is David Ellison, and I'm a fan of yours."

While they were chatting, David Ellison from the crowd suddenly looked over and then stepped forward, hands outstretched towards Link from a distance, his face showing a mix of excitement and thrill.

"Hi, David, I've heard about you too."

Link extended his hand and shook with the other person.

David Ellison held his hand with both of his, pulling up the corners of his mouth as he laughed and said, "Did you hear that my first film lost fifty million US dollars? That I am a prodigal son?"

Link gave a light smile. He had heard these rumors.

It was rumored that David Ellison was especially fond of air combat movies like "Top Gun" and "Pearl Harbor," so his debut film, "Air Combat Hero," lost forty to fifty million, making it one of the more severe movie financial losses in recent years.

However, the fact that the other party proactively brought up such an embarrassing matter in conversation also showed he was a relatively straightforward person.

"No, I've seen the trailer for 'Thunder of the Earth,' and I understand it's your new work. The quality of the trailer was quite good,"

Link said.

"Thunder of the Earth" is a western adventure film jointly produced by Paramount Pictures and Sky Dance, slated for release in December.

It is directed by the famous Coen brothers from Hollywood, with Scott Rudin, one of Hollywood's top ten producers, serving as the chief producer, and David Ellison as the executive producer.

The lead actor is Jeff Bridges, who won the Oscar for Best Actor earlier that year, with Matt Damon as the second lead.

From the producers to directors and leading actors, everyone involved is a powerhouse, signaling the movie's guaranteed quality without even watching it.

David Ellison's involvement in such a production cast made many people envious.

"Haha, thank you! I only had a minor role in this movie. Even if the movie is a big sell, my contribution won't be that significant. Speaking of movies, your company's production, 'Scandal Plan,' is a real success. An eight-million-dollar investment with over 160 million in global box office revenue, that's almost a twentyfold return.

Link, how did you manage that? When I first invested in a movie, I knew nothing and lost over fifty million on my first try, while your first movie earned over fifty million. That's incredible,"

David Ellison said, holding onto Link's hand and talking incessantly, not even noticing that he had pushed Edward Thomp to one side.

Ivanka pressed her red lips into a smile, walked over to Georgia Bloomberg, and started chatting with David Ellison's sister, Megan Ellison.

Seeing David Ellison's enthusiasm and high regard, Link felt it wouldn't be appropriate to boast. He humbly claimed he was only responsible for the investment, while other aspects were managed by the company's producers, and his contribution to the movie was extremely limited.

David Ellison disagreed, saying that Link was not only the producer of the movie but also a supporting actor. Without his performance, the box office wouldn't have been as high.

This was also the opinion of professional magazines like "Complete Movie" and "Variety," which particularly mentioned how he made the film hit the headlines multiple times during its release, greatly helping the box office revenue.

Besides talking about movies, David Ellison was also a fan of his boxing and singing, knowing many details about his matches by heart.

He mentioned how he often watched Link's matches at home with Larry Ellison, and how his father would explain Link's tactics and techniques during the fights, saying his dad also really liked his boxing.

Hearing David Ellison speak about those boxing matches confirmed for Link that the other party was truly a fan.

A non-fan couldn't remember all those details, especially not the son of a billionaire. If he weren't genuinely interested, he wouldn't bother remembering such things.

Seeing that the other party was a real fan, Link warmed up a bit and, with a glass of champagne in hand, invited him to sit down for a chat.

Not far away, Peter Peltz and the younger Epstein looked at the two engaged in deep conversation, their faces showing a hint of annoyance. When David Ellison had come over earlier, they had warmly greeted him, initiating many interesting conversations.

But David Ellison was reserved, without even a smile, displaying a very aloof attitude.

Everyone thought he simply wasn't the type to smile, so they didn't care.

However, after Link arrived, Ellison acted like an enthusiastic fan meeting his idol, with endless praise and adulation, never once stopping his smiling.

Peter Peltz was scornful. Did the son of a billionaire really need to fawn over Link like that? Wasn't he worried about losing face for his father?

Kunas, seeing that everyone had become very enthusiastic about Link, especially the Thompson family treating him almost like a member of their own, like Ivanka's husband, was furious. He too had briefly enjoyed such treatment, but after Link appeared, everything changed, and he became an outsider.

"You guys said you wanted to teach him a lesson. Why is there no movement after half a year?"

Kunas, holding a champagne flute, asked in a low voice, though his smile remained pleasant and elegant.

"We've made a move. The recent online black tide was our doing. You know how serious it got; Link was almost brought down by us. But he got lucky with Tesla's IPO, becoming a billionaire, a financial legend. Along with his youth and charm, his fans not only stopped hating him but worshipped him even more and became more loyal. The guy's luck is just too good,"

David Zakman said resignedly.

Josie Epstein added, "I and the blusterer had arranged for a few young girls to approach him, but he seems uninterested in those without fame, and he's highly vigilant. After a few attempts, we didn't succeed."

Kunas was very displeased upon hearing this and glanced at Link, who was the center of attention among the crowd. He lowered his voice and growled, "Is there really no way at all?"

Peter Peltz and Josie Epstein furrowed their brows and thought for a while.

Someone mentioned that Link liked to play the stock market, so perhaps they could introduce him to some stocks that would cause him to fail in his investments. Without his money, his aura would surely diminish.

Luther Detsky suggested luring him into drug use, arguing that someone like Link who achieved success so young must feel a profound sense of emptiness and could be controlled with substances.

Josie Epstein said that since Link had no interest in ordinary girls, perhaps they could use a female celebrity to get close to him, make him slip up, and then try to hold something over him.

Kunas nodded at their suggestions, urging them to arrange it as soon as possible. He couldn't stand the sight of Link for another moment.
