America's Road to Wealth

Keira couldn't imagine what it would be like for the core figures of the two major consortiums to fight.

In her impression, John Chris Morgan was a polite little old man.

Some time ago, when he visited Wilson's house. His conversation was so extraordinary that she felt she was not inferior to her father.

Even in terms of image, she felt that John Chris Morgan was much better than her father.

Will such people fight?

As for Abel, she couldn't help but look Abel up and down.

Well, this body, this look, plus his quintessential Texas origins.

Full of stereotypes.

It seems normal to have fights.

Thinking of this, Kayla couldn't help but ask: "Then...can the meeting still go on?"

"Of course it can't go on."

Abel smiled and shrugged at her, "We started fighting at that time. Some people on the east coast wanted to help, but us Texans were not afraid at all. So it turned into a group fight. I, a few Texans, and ten A few people from the East Coast got into a fight. People from other places came to break up the fight. Oh, including your brother. I accidentally hit his face with my elbow on the way, so I'm really sorry."

What he said before made Kayla no longer know what to say.

In that kind of place, fighting in groups with those people... it was really unimaginable for her.

Even if the person who said this was Abel, she felt it was a bit fanciful.

After hearing later, he said that he "accidentally injured" his brother, Keira curiously confirmed:

"Accidentally? Are you sure you are really careless?"

"I'm sure." Abel said confidently.

"All right."

To be honest, it was because Abel’s revelations were too big.

Now her head is a little hard to turn, and she is no longer interested in knowing that her brother was "accidentally injured" by Abel.

Seeing her look like this, Abel smiled slightly and had no idea of ​​explaining.

He felt that if he added that John Chris Morgan acted first, he was only acting in self-defense.

Na Abel felt that her three views would be challenged even more.

"After eating, you'd better take a rest first. Don't go out yet. I have to go out and take care of some things."

Abel spoke again.

Keira nodded quickly.

This kind of thing has happened. I don’t know how much trouble there will be later. No matter how busy I am, it is normal.

But Abel came back immediately to comfort himself.

Keira felt that this was a sign that he valued her.

She quickly said: "Go and do your business first. This kind of thing must be taken seriously, that's John Chris Morgan!!"

Abel smiled at her, stood up and walked out. He soon left 599 Water Street, DC.

Half an hour later.

In the Southwest District of Washington, DC, near the DC branch of Southeastern University, there is a single-family Victorian-style mansion.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to dare to come to the door? Hey, boy, I have to say that you are really brave."

The living room of the mansion is filled with stained glass sculptures of the Virgin Mary.

John Chris Morgan, who was rubbing his face, looked at the young man who walked in and said with an unhappy face.

Next to him sat a smiling David Rockefeller.

"What's there to be afraid of? I believe in Herbert."

The speaker was a young, tall white man, and standing next to him was George Herbert Bush, the father of the current Grand Commander.

"You guys really shocked me. It's okay, okay."

Herbert smiled and spoke softly to John Cleese, David, and Abel beside him.

That's right, the person who was "choked" by John Cleese just now is none other than Abel, who lives at 599 Water Street, DC, not far from here.

And this house is the residence of the Bush family in Washington.

When the family is not living in the white house, they usually live here.

This house was a property purchased by Herbert in the imperial capital when he was the whip of the Elephant Party.

As for the two parties who had a "big fight" at the regular meeting of the Federal Advisory Committee not long ago, and now they are chatting and laughing here, there are naturally some inhumane secrets in it.

"I have to mention it again. You guys really shocked me this time."

Herbert first greeted the three people and sat down in the small living room.

After everyone was seated, the old man made a frightened expression and said.

What could shock the former commander-in-chief, one of the most powerful figures in the empire?

Of course, it was the masters of the empire, and there was a group fight among them.

Group fights are not scary, but what is scary is the series of terrible consequences that may occur after the face is broken.

What are the consequences?

Infighting, the kind that never ends. In the end of the fight, both sides may suffer losses, or one party may suffer a disastrous defeat.

The key is that the side that loses miserably may want to die together.

The result was that the internally stable empire's top leadership was severely torn apart, creating horrific rifts that could not be repaired.

Fortunately, it was fake, everything was staged by both parties.

Otherwise, not to mention Keira, who was frightened and at a loss after hearing this.

Even for a character like Herbert, he didn't know what to do next.

"This was his bad idea." John Cleese, who was still rubbing his face with Abel's fingers, "When he called me, I thought it was a conspiracy."

John Cleese, who had bruises on his face, rolled his eyes in displeasure.

"Conspiracy? When you were at the venue, your actions were not serious at all!"

Seeing Abel open his mouth, he wanted to continue to refute.

Herbert came out to smooth things over: "Okay, okay. The drama is over. Everyone, what we should talk about now is how to end it."

He, the middleman, stood up and said this, and Abel and John Cleese finally stopped arguing.

At this time, David, who had been smiling and silent, finally spoke softly.

"It's not as complicated as you think, Herbert. We've reached an agreement with your Smith boys. Morgan and Rockefeller bought shares in Smith Financial Group, each holding 10% of the shares. Smith holds JPMorgan Chase and Morgan Stanley respectively. 10% of the shares. At the same time, Texans’ voting rights in the Federal Reserve increased to 19%, but it must be limited to Smith.”

After hearing this, Herbert looked at Abel in surprise. The latter shrugged at him and said softly:

"They called me this morning and told me about it. I agreed, and then John Cleese said he wanted to do a play. Then we started fighting. I personally felt that my play was very good. good."

By this time Herbert had it all figured out.

In fact, things are said to be very complex, but said to be simple, they are also very simple.

That is, since the last USD/JPY incident, Abel has been hooked up with Morgan and Rockefeller.

The cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant. It can be said that each got what he needed and everyone had a great time cutting together.

After that cooperation, as well as my experiences and thoughts since my rebirth.

Abel felt that in the United States, he was actually climbing up the ladder quickly within the old order.

Rather than starting from scratch, knocking down mountains, and rebuilding mountains yourself.

If he wanted to continue climbing up, he would not be able to bypass the old mountains like Morgan and Rockefeller.

Rather than going to great lengths to deal with them, it would be better to become one of them.

Within them, access to higher power and influence.

Just like what he did within the Texas consortium.

Rockefeller and Morgan felt that this boy was already a success.

At the same time, he is indeed unreasonably strong in the unreasonable field of finance.

In addition, both of them are WASPs of the older generation, and they have more or less the sentiments of the Protestant Puritans.

Abel's standards in all aspects were extremely consistent with the principles of conduct of the Protestant Puritans.

In terms of their personal feelings, it can be said that they admire Abel very much.

This time Abel took the initiative to move closer to them.

The foundation for cooperation is there, and so is the feeling for cooperation.

In the end, I let nature take its course, and it became what it is now.

They bought shares in Abel's core businesses, and Abel also held shares in their core industries.

The two parties negotiated a peace and entangled each other and held shares in each other, forming an alliance of interests that seemed relatively stable for the time being.

As for the fight at noon, it was John Cleese's suggestion.

The head of Morgen felt that it would be better for Abel to maintain a distant relationship with them on the surface, or even appear to be hostile.

Then maybe everyone can continue to join forces next time and harvest the whole world.

At the same time, the performance can also be shown to other American princes, which can provide a better cover for the subsequent actions of both parties.

Everything was arranged just like that. It was just that something unexpected happened while acting.

Abel pushed a little harder, and then the other Texans swarmed in and made a big fuss.

In their imagination, it was Abel and John Cleese who had a "fight."

Unexpectedly, it turned into a group fight.

This is really——

False business war: strategizing, intrigue, back and forth...

Real business war: snatching official seals, physical battles, physical troubles...

"It looks more realistic this way, isn't it better?"

Facing John Cleese’s accusation, Abel spread his hands and said:

"In this way, except for a few of us, I believe no one will think that we are acting. Look, John, the scars on your face are the best proof. I even suggest that you find a makeup artist tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. It makes it look a little more serious. It's more convincing and helps our relationship."

"Thank you for reminding me..." the little old man said angrily.

As for Herbert, looking at this "everyone was happy" scene in front of him, it could be said that he smiled with relief.

Once upon a time, Herbert's position in the Texas consortium was actually somewhat embarrassing.

It is true that he is a representative introduced by the Texans, and he has successfully taken up the position. But in fact, their family has very strong traces of Rockefeller.

In his rise to power, Rockefeller was also a contributor.

Before Abel came along, shrubs were a bit of an embarrassment in Texas.

Compared to shrubs, Smith is actually more established in Texas.

Smith has really taken root in Texas for two hundred years.

Before the Lone Star Republic even joined the Union, they were already living in Texas.

It's better now, because of Abel.

The Texas consortium has basically regarded Shrub as one of its own.

Rockefeller, the hidden backer of the Shrub family, is now joining hands with Abel to negotiate peace.

This is simply the best situation for the shrub.

From an enemy to a de facto ally, the atmosphere in the living room naturally became very pleasant.

“You want Wells Fargo?”

While chatting, David suddenly looked at Abel and said softly:

"Last night, Slade Wilson's daughter did not come out of your house."

After saying this, the old Rockefeller deliberately looked at Herbert.

Your grandson-in-law stayed with another woman overnight, and you didn’t respond?

Herbert smiled but nodded to David.

It is indeed a bush that relies on women to get to the top - Rockefeller thought to himself.

"Yes." Abel said directly: "Wilson holds about 21% of Wells Fargo's shares, but has 65% of the voting rights. Who doesn't want it? Provided it can be done."

David nodded slightly after listening, and then John Cleese said: "That's easy. We want Bank of America!"

Bank of America, like Wells Fargo, is the financial core of the California conglomerate.

Bank of America, also known as Bank of America, is the de facto number one commercial bank in the United States in terms of assets.

The bank's founding can be traced back to the Bank of Massachusetts in 1784, making it the second oldest bank in the United States.

It is headquartered in San Francisco, and the Chiannini family of the California consortium is its main controller.

"Have you figured out what to do?" Abel asked with interest.

To be honest, Abel is actually equally interested in Bank of America.

It's just that he and Wells Fargo can only indirectly try to mess with the Wilson family to see if they can break the situation.

Of course, there is nothing he can do about the more stable Bank of America.

"You don't need to ask about this. In short, we don't want to be enemies of each other, as long as we each get what we need. If one party can provide help when needed, then provide help." David said softly.

John Cleese also smiled and nodded.

Abel could only shrug.

Looking at the three of them, Herbert felt that a picture like this appeared before his eyes:

The huge wolf group called the "California Consortium" showed its decline due to internal divisions and struggles.

At this time, tigers named Smith, Rockefeller, and Morgan were already watching.

Once the wolves show their flaws, or the tiger himself becomes hungry.

When the tiger comes down from the mountain, the wolves will be attacked.

Half an hour later.

In the cabin of the Cadillac Monster on the way to the White House.

Herbert looked at the incredibly young Abel beside him.

Looking out the car window at the passing streets of Washington, the old man couldn't help but sigh:

"When Alex and I were your age, we were flying in airplanes and fighting neon lights in the Pacific sky. But at this age, you have become the most powerful speaker in our country. One of them. Sometimes when I think about it, I really don’t know what we were doing.”

"Everyone living in this era must thank you. It is your sacrifice and heroism that allow us to live the life we ​​have now."

Abel said directly: "At that time, you were all heroes. But now, I am just one of the biggest moths sitting on the top of the Empire Mountain."

Hearing Abel's answer, Herbert was stunned for a moment, and then he laughed.

"Haha - borers, okay. We are borers, that's right. borers, we are all borers."

After laughing for a while, Herbert looked at the smiling Abel and suddenly paused, "I want to ask you something, dear Abel. I wonder if you can help me?"

"What's up?"

"I have already met little Alia. She is so beautiful and cute."

Abel looked at the old man and wondered why he suddenly changed the topic to his illegitimate daughter.

"I feel like I'm getting a little old. I don't know how much longer I have left. Prescott doesn't have a good marriage target right now, and Barbara and Jenna are still young."

"So..." the old man looked at Abel and said seriously: "I want to meet the fourth generation of the Bush family before I live. In my opinion, this task can only be completed by you and little Laura. .And this is what I want to ask you to do.”

After hearing what the old man said, Abel was speechless.

What does it mean that Prescott has no marriage partner? Barbara and Jenna are still young. If they want to see the 4th generation, they have to rely on themselves and little Laura?

Obviously you and little Laura are younger, okay?

Little Laura celebrated her birthday this year and has just turned 18!

Jenna and the others are already adults.

Not to mention Prescott, the eldest son of the third generation of this bush family, is now 26 years old!

If Herbert wants to see a fourth-generation great-great-grandson, the one who should work the hardest should be Prescott, right? !

But Abel knew that why he wanted to meet the fourth generation bloodline was just Herbert's excuse.

What Herbert wanted to express to himself actually had two meanings.

One is that the old man is dissatisfied with his philandering, especially with his crazy giving birth to illegitimate children.

There was already a little Aaliyah, and little Andy and little Ivana were born a while ago.

Han Guo also has a mixed-race baby coming out, and the two Australian goddesses raised in Los Angeles are also pregnant.

I don’t know how many more there will be in the future.

And little Laura is only 18, and there are still 2 to 3 years until the agreed marriage age.

If she keeps giving birth, it will be when little Laura marries herself and gives birth to her first child.

His illegitimate children may have more than one football team.

On the second level, Abel felt that Herbert might also be expressing to himself that he wanted to continue to strengthen the relationship between Smith and Shrub.

Now even Rockefeller, a big backer, has become Abel's ally.

The relationship between Shrub and Smith has no possibility of tearing apart.

The cost of tearing up is too high, for both sides.

Of course, the closer the current relationship between the two parties is, the better.

It is certainly a better way to let little Laura and herself give birth to a child with both Shrub and Smith blood.

For this reason, Herbert felt that it didn't matter even if the two were not married yet.

In fact, according to Herbert's point of view, it would be best for the two of them to get married now.

At that time, the two parties agreed that they would not officially get married until Laura was 21 years old.

Now Herbert did not dare to force Abel, because now Abel had the upper hand in the alliance between the two parties.

After all these considerations, Herbert's current temptation came into being.

"Okay. I miss her a little too."

In response, Abel smiled and answered the old man softly.

If you want to give birth, then give birth to ten or eight babies.
