America's Road to Wealth

Santa Maria, on the way to the airport.

In the car of the Cadillac monster, Neil Bush smiled and said softly to Abel: "You don't know how happy the dean is. One million dollars, that's probably the highest donation check he ever received."

Abel shrugged: "I hope that among the 1 million, at least 100,000 US dollars can really fall on those poor children."

When Neil heard him say this, he hesitated for a moment, then smiled and nodded: "I hope so."

Both Abel and Neil actually understand the principle of "rescue officials first in disaster relief".

The United States is the place with the most charitable funds and various charitable organizations in the world.

Here, charity has long since become a business. It is a kind of business that is wearing a very tall skin, but secretly doing all kinds of dirty things.

The Anzas, who were born pirates, accumulated enough primitive capital through bloody plunder, and began to go ashore. In order to cover up the past, and at the same time to meet the advanced emotional needs of human beings, charity has been developed.

But pirates are pirates after all, and their charity is just an emotional need. What matters to them is that this emotional need is met.

As for whether it is really charitable or not, that is not important.

If you really want to pursue it, then almost 99% of the charitable funds and organizations in the United States must be dark when they are uncovered from the inside.

For example, there is a kind of "bloody adoption" in the United States.

In many places in the United States, the federal government and the state government will provide certain subsidies to families who have adopted children.

Take California as an example. Families adopting orphans can receive more than US$1,000 in subsidies from the government every month, and this part is in cash.

In addition to these, there are generally various local charitable organizations that also provide things including female fans and various children's products.

These also add up to several hundred dollars.

The calculation is to adopt a child, and you can get at least a monthly subsidy of about 1,500 US dollars in California, which includes some tax deductions.

There are obviously a lot of benefits to be drawn here.

There are some couples who specialize in adopting children, often several at a time. Then they can get five or six thousand dollars of this kind of subsidy every month.

In terms of $5,000, this is also a very lucrative income in the United States.

The key is that there is no need to pay taxes yet, and some tax cuts can be made...

So in the United States, there are many families adopting orphans.

But the problem is that many of these people adopted these children for the money and subsidies in the first place.

There are many scumbags in it, so there are often news about orphans being abused in this kind of family after being adopted.

Even if you are not abused, it is impossible to live a good life when you meet someone with such an ordinary heart.

To put it simply, it is cheating subsidies, and it is very common.

There are many, many similar examples, and they don't stop at orphan adoptions.

As for the corruption, embezzlement, bribery, and embezzlement of public funds by the top executives of charitable funds, there are more.

Abel is actually very clear about these things. The newspaper under his name exposes and reports a lot every year.

But every year he still donates a lot of money.

One is to set up one's own personality, and at the same time, it can indeed reduce taxes.

Secondly, so much money is donated, even if only 1% can go to those who need it.

This is more or less a consolation for a soul that was born under the red flag but has fallen in the world of capital.

Now Abel will send his father-in-law to the small airport in Santa Maria, where Neil will fly to Los Angeles, and then take a regular flight from Los Angeles to Washington.

Abel could have his own private jet take him there, but for the sake of personality—after becoming a member of Congress, Neil also needs this kind of thing now.

Many times nowadays, Abel's father-in-law tries to be as civilian as possible.

This will help absorb votes when he needs to campaign.

This time, he just came to his constituency, and with the help of Smith Media, he and Abel performed a routine Zhengzhi show.

This kind of political show, every American politician must be good at it. Those who are not good at it will not be able to climb at all.

Now even Alexander, the high-ranking red-neck who used to be straightforward and straightforward, is now acting in a decent way.

In an elected system, this is a must-have skill for all politicians.

Before boarding the plane, Neil patted Abel on the shoulder and said softly:

"I will do my best to promote new energy. You can't always help me and I don't do anything. And this kind of green and environmental protection can be pushed by me, a congressman of the donkey party. Take it for granted."

Abel smiled, "I have talked with the Zipper couple, and their faction will support it."

"Understood." Neil became more confident, "However, there should still be a lot of opposition from the Elephant Party. If everyone uses electricity, who will use oil?"

"Oil and electricity can be used together. Our country is very big, and those who are willing to protect the environment can use electricity. Those who are not willing to protect the environment can continue to use oil." Abel shrugged with a smile.

"It makes sense." Neil left cheerfully.

Abel also didn't stop in Santa Maria, and he boarded a plane to San Francisco later.

After arriving in Silicon Valley, Abel spent more than two days on a routine tour of his Internet company.

Two days later, he returned to Los Angeles.

In the morning, the harsh April sunlight in Los Angeles shone through the floor-to-ceiling windows, blinding Abel's eyes.

In a daze, he reached out to hug Ikana and Paris beside him, and after Ikana made an empty space, he touched Paris as he wished.

Ms. Hilton really doesn't have as much professionalism as Ikana.

Unlike Ikana, who stayed up until 3 o'clock, she was still able to get up early in the morning.

Hugging Paris, who was soft and smelling of women, he squinted for a few more seconds before Abel turned over, turned his face to the sky, lazily opened his arms, stretched his waist, and yawned , sat up directly.

He reached out and scratched his hair, looked at the clock on the wall, it was already 8 o'clock. Today is the day he leaves California to fly to Florida to put the finishing touches on the Cardinal Health acquisition.

Once successful, Na Abel will hold the company's shareholders' meeting, turn the table over, and formally join the board of directors of Cardinal Health to complete the final closing!

This will also start his Abel Smith, the first shot officially entering the field of medical complexes.

You must know that in the United States, there are several major interest complexes.

In fact, the one with the greatest influence on the United States has always been the medical complex.

A medical + insurance complex to be exact.

Below the medical complex comes the financial complex, and then the military-industrial complex.

So the medical + insurance complex is the scariest monster in America.

Wow——

The steaming bath water from the shower rushed over Abel's body, the remnants of the war crystallized after the one-to-two victory last night.

After washing, Abel wore a white bathrobe, wiped his hair, walked out of the bedroom, and went down the stairs.

Ikana, who was wearing a belted nightgown with a dark blue background and white flowers in the restaurant, heard his footsteps going downstairs, raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly, and appeared on the stairs on the first floor with a cup of coffee, watching Abel come down.

"Good morning, dear."

"Good morning--"

Abel smiled and kissed Ikana, then took the steaming, fragrant coffee, stretched his arms around her waist and walked towards the sofa in the living room.

"Look at you, the dark circles under your eyes can't be covered. If you are really tired, there is no need to go to work. Like Paris, she is very smart, and she has to be responsible for YKM. But if you have to rest, take a rest, anyway, there are always people doing things."

After the two sat down, Abel put the coffee cup on the table, and teased Ikana with a sideways smile.

"You guy... I'm not like Paris! You said you wanted me to be a social queen. I want my crown to be my own effort, not just you putting the crown on mine on the head."

The corners of Ikana's mouth turned up, she smiled sweetly and slapped Abel. However, she knew that her man didn't care much about the Internet, so she didn't care, but picked up the newspaper on the table and handed it to him.

"Look at this newspaper."

"Huh?" Abel took the newspaper and opened it, frowning and said, "What happened?"

"Some members of Congress, headed by Mr. Neil Bush, proposed in the House of Representatives a plan to develop a new energy source in the United States. It is necessary to increase the annual subsidy of 60 billion US dollars for the new energy industry, including photovoltaics. However, some members of Congress headed by Mr. Alexander Smith objected to this proposal. They think that the so-called new energy industry has not even planned for anything until now, but it is not in line to give such a large subsidy. American interests."

Ikana jokingly said the long words above, stared at Abel without blinking, and continued with a smile:

"Now, my dear... your father-in-law and your father are arguing in the media."

It turned out to be this matter. Abel, who had seen the newspaper report, shook his head and smiled easily.

"Isn't this normal and common? When the members of Congress don't quarrel, that's the real big news."

He didn't take it seriously.

Anyone with a discerning eye would know that the "dispute" between his father and father-in-law was just a trick played by Smith himself.

In the end, no matter whether Neil wins or Alexander wins, Abel will not suffer.

Because of this guy, he has new energy on his left and oil and oil and gas on his right. Anyway, no matter what kind of favorable policy is introduced, it is a good thing for him.

Of course, from the point of view of the master, it can also be a bad thing...

And Abel is also very clear that this time Neil's proposal should not be passed.

One is that it is now in Washington, where it is obvious that the Elephant Party is stronger. In the parallel time and space, Musk’s Tesla was able to get help because Lao Hei just came to power at that time.

Things like environmental protection and new energy have always been the basic plan of the donkey party.

No wonder the Elephant Party would support it.

The second is that there is actually no specific concept for new energy in the United States.

In parallel time and space, the formation of this concept will take place after 2006.

This time and space is dominated by Abel, although Tesla appeared earlier.

But the specific industrial chain and layout are just beginning now.

We have to wait for Tesla to actually produce something, and then continue to make some big news.

Only then will there be a way to force the federal government to introduce relevant policies and subsidies.

Let's make a sound this time.

This was also the main thing that Abel discussed with Neil besides acting in Santa Maria City a few days ago.

Seeing Abel's attitude, Ikana smiled, and after thinking about it, she still cared about her father-in-law: "Uncle Alexander shouldn't have any problems, right?"

As for Neil, how could she care?

She can't wait for the other party to fall. Just don't say it.

"What's the problem? This incident is actually about Neil and my father officially taking the stage in Washington to confirm the status of their two political rookies." Abel smiled, closed the newspaper, and patted Yi Kanna's little hand, explained.

half an hour later.

"Okay, honey, are you sure you don't want to go to Florida with me? I heard you said that your family often vacations there. And this is my first time going to Florida. Maybe you can be my tour guide?"

In the main living room of the Beverly Hills manor villa, Abel was wearing a straight and slim suit, embracing the reluctant Ikana, and asked softly while kissing her.

"Forget it, you're not really going on a trip. And I still have work to do, and I want to see that Twitter you mentioned as soon as possible!" Ikana smiled and shook her head, "Okay, let's go, I'm waiting for the good news about your health in Kadina!"

Speaking of this matter, Ikana's beautiful eyes are shining brightly. The acquisition case initiated by her husband to change the structure of the medical complex has been raging for several months, and the finishing work is about to be completed.

Thinking of the fact that the Smith family wants to control another listed company with a market value of tens of billions, it is still a company in the medical complex with huge power that all upper-level people know, a pharmaceutical giant.

Thinking of this, Ikana couldn't calm down. The value of assets is still secondary, and the main thing is the social influence and commercial power generated, which are all inestimable values.

My man himself was born in a military-industrial complex, and now he is also involved in a financial complex, an energy complex, an Internet high-tech complex, and a media complex...

In fact, Ikana even knew that there was a Smith Farm under the name of her man.

This is the agricultural complex.

Before he knew it, his man had used his terrifying ability to weave a large network covering all industries in the United States, and all political, business, military, and civilians were all in it.

Thinking of being the woman of this kind of man, she even gave birth to a child for him.

There were bursts of uncontrollable excitement in her heart - Mu Qiang, it is the common nature of all women!

"Then I'm leaving, honey, I'll call you when I arrive, boo~"

Abel didn't know she had thought so much. After finishing speaking, he kissed her on the forehead, walked out of the living room door with his arms around her waist, held her pretty face again, kissed her again, and smiled. Nodding, turned around and got into the car.

Ikana brushed her bangs, smiled and waved to Abel who lowered the car window and waved at her, watched the convoy leave, then turned and walked to the courtyard, where she was waiting for another small convoy to go to work in the company .

As for Paris, she loves to sleep in so much, so she can take care of the baby at home today!

At Los Angeles International Airport, Abel boarded the plane with Lydia, who was smiling happily.

Abel looked at Lydia Hearst, who was wearing a khaki long trench coat, intellectual and elegant, showing an outstanding temperament.

Pair it with a pair of khaki straight-leg pants and beige high-heeled shoes, which is capable and classy, ​​full of sense of luxury. Whether it's walking posture or temperament, the current Lydia is indeed very attractive to him.

This time he went to Florida, which he had never been to, and he brought her a woman there. Lydia herself was guessing that she must not be able to escape this time.

In fact, Abel did intend to take this opportunity to eat the Hearst daughter who had been adjusted by him for half a year.

"Boss, coffee."

"Um."

After the Boeing 747 took off, Abel, who was checking Cardina's health details, looked up at Lydia and saw her face beaming with joy. He smiled and reached out to pick up the coffee cup on the table, and took a sip. He raised his eyebrows slightly, and smacked his lips.

Then continue to check the information on Cardina Health.

The founder of this pharmaceutical giant is Robert D. Walter.

Like the founders of other businesses, Robert D. Walter was stripped of most of his equity in the long course of company development.

Likewise, as founder, Robert D. Walter was also a huge influence on Cardinal Health.

This time Abel launched an attack on Cardinal Health, and the most important work was used to settle Robert D. Walter.

And the Mr. Founder, for the sake of turning those dry stocks into real dollars, he is happy to cooperate with the intention of the super oligarch Abel Smith.

Up to now, Abel has acquired 39.6% of Cardinal Health's shares through cash and a large number of shares of Smith's companies.

It is an absolute major shareholder, but there are problems with these stocks.

They took advantage of some loopholes in Florida law.

So since the end of last year, the lawsuit has been fought.

On Abel's side, the super luxurious team of lawyers headed by Ms. Caroline Jond Rehnquist has been in Florida for five months.

The litigation costs of both parties have been spent in the sum of hundreds of millions of dollars.

This time Abel came here because he wanted to give an explanation to the other shareholders of Cardina Health outside of the law.

It's also a threat.

Either take the money and leave, or take the lawsuit to the Supreme Court.

At that time, let's see if Chief Rehnquist is willing to support justice, or support you guys from Florida!

After confirming that everything was safe, Abel closed the data sheet.

At 5:30 p.m. East Coast time, the plane landed smoothly on the runway of Miami International Airport.

Miami International Airport is not far from downtown Miami, and is an important international airport in the entire South Florida metropolitan area.

Alan and David, who had been waiting for a long time, stood by the convoy. They saw Abel and Lydia get off the plane and greeted them with a smile. After hugging each of them, Abel got into the car and the convoy drove quickly off the tarmac.

Taking advantage of the golden sunset, when the convoy was driving on the road to the center of Miami, Abel admired the city view of Miami from the window.

Florida has a warm climate, fertile soil, and abundant water sources, which provide excellent conditions for agricultural development. Citrus production accounts for 75% of the total U.S. production. Vegetable production is second only to California. Agriculture and tourism and manufacturing form the three pillars of the state's economy. The forest coverage rate is 60%.

Miami is the second largest city in Florida and the largest city in the South Florida metropolitan area, which consists of Miami-Dade County, Broward County and the famous Palm Beach County.

Palm Beach County is the location of Palm Beach, which is known as the most suitable place for wealthy people to live in the United States.

Well, Ikana's future Mar-a-Lago estate will be in Palm Beach.

And now, Abel's convoy passes directly through the center of Miami without stopping, and the destination is Palm Beach.
