America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 355 Arya Laura Smith
"...she looks really ugly. Small and wrinkled."

"You look so good-looking, and her mother obviously looks so good-looking too. Why does she look like this? Has her gene mutated?"

In the warm baby's room.

Little Laura looks into the incubator, after her first breast milk.

The little baby who began to sleep peacefully made the above remarks.

Abel was helpless, and gave her popular science:
"Newborn babies are like this. The process of coming out of the birth canal is not so easy. It usually takes a month to grow and look better."

Little Laura looked up and stared at him with beautiful eyes, "How do you know? Do you have other illegitimate children besides her?"

"That's what the doctor said..."

At this time, Li Xinyu actually spoke for Abel, she whispered:
"It's like this. When my brother's child was born, it was ugly at the beginning, but it will grow slowly later."

Little Laura actually knew that the little girl was just looking for faults, so she lost her temper a little bit.

She also knew enough was enough, so she began to smile and say:
"Okay. From then on, she should be a beautiful little beauty. Whether it's like her father or her mother."

"Honey, what are you going to name your first child?"

Confronted with little Laura on this issue.

Abel mused while looking at the tiny baby in the incubator.

He only felt a slight connection in his blood, as if connecting him and the baby.

Is this how you feel about your "gene clone"?
A strange, but not bad feeling.

Abel felt that his decision to have more children was indeed right.

It's just this strange feeling of watching one's own blood genes multiply.

He felt that it was worth living more.

And Abel felt that according to his consortium plan, the more offspring he had, the better.

Breeding on the "Smith Spider's Web", the more small spiders from the Lord Spider's bloodline, the more the Lord Spider's control over this spider web will be strengthened.

Most of those chaebols have to spend decades or even hundreds of years to have many children.

Abel, his own Smith family, hopes to surpass Rockefeller and Morgan in number in 20 years.

"How about Arya? Or Emily."

Looking at his first child, looking at himself and Charlize's daughter.

Abel spoke softly.

These two names are the most common names for white girls in the United States.

In the central and southern parts of the United States, one in a hundred white girls.At least a few Aryas, or Emilys.

But these two names have different status in the current Smith family.

That was the child's grandmother and great-grandmother, and that was their name.

Little Laura also knew what Abel meant, and her most angry time had passed.

If it was her daughters, she would name them Barbara, Laura, or something.

In the future, she wants to leave some traces of the bush family for her children.

Now Charlize's child directly occupies these two.

Then she will name her child in the future, so she doesn't have to worry about the two elders being unhappy.

Little Laura immediately agreed decisively:
"How about just Arya? Arya Laura Smith!"

Emily next, after Emily.

Little Laura felt that it was time for her to have a baby.

Then she will be able to name Liberty herself.

Little Laura promised so readily, Abel was a little surprised.

After all, no matter which of these two names they are, they are a bit special to the Smith family.

Little Laura could not understand.

But since she is so straightforward, as her first child.

Abel also decided to name her Arya Laura Smith.

"Go and comfort Charlize. She gave birth to your first child anyway."

After the name was decided, little Laura said softly to Abel.

"you sure?"

"determine."

Abel was not hypocritical, turned and left, and went to Charlize's room.

Charlize wasn't sleeping, she was resting on the hospital bed with her eyes open.

Seeing Abel walk in, she stared at him intently.

Abel came to the bed, sat down, and reached out to grab one of her catkins.

"The child's name has been determined." Abel smiled and said softly to Charlize: "Her name will be Arya Laura Smith."

Hearing this name, Charlize was also a little surprised.

After staying at Smith Farm for almost ten months, I saw Arya quite a few times.

Charlize is well aware of the special significance of this name in the Smith family.

She knew that in these families, this kind of name from the elders was different than anything else.

"Laura." Charlize whispered, "Is she okay?"

Before Abel's birthday this year, little Laura went to the rock security alone to find Charlize.

Abel didn't even know what the two of them talked about at that time.

Judging from Charlize's attitude now.

Abel only felt that Charlize was a little afraid of little Laura and a little respectful of her.

This may have been brought about by the status of the Little Laura bush family, or it may have been for some other reason.

"She agreed." Abel smiled and said, "Our child will be called Arya in the future. But it can only be called Little Arya, and her great-grandmother is also Arya."

Charlize laughed. The force and pain during childbirth made her pale now, but this smile was her sincere smile, which matched her beauty with a special charm.

After several months of fear, after a few months of hard pregnancy.Charlize Theron finally felt that her adventures and sacrifices at the time finally paid off.

The Birth of Arya Laura Smith.

It means that she finally has a place in this family!
Thinking of this, she laughed and cried, crying and laughing at the same time.

Abel just hugged her gently and didn't speak.

In the blink of an eye, a week passed.

Smith Farm.

Little Laura and Li Xinyu only stayed here for one day.

I left the next night and went back to school.

Normally, they are about to go on vacation.

However, good students, or students with conditions, can continue to study in school until the end of January.

In order to catch up with the lessons, little Laura has been very serious in school.

Abel didn't leave.

It can't be that Charlize Theron has just given birth to his baby, and he won't even stay for a while and leave.

That way, even if Charlize doesn't say anything, it is estimated that the children will not kiss him in the future.

Abel will not take care of his children, because there are too many more professional and better nannies.

But in terms of cultivating parent-child relationship, he is still willing to spend some thought.

What he wants is to have a lot of offspring, while multiplying his genes, so that the children can help him when they grow up, instead of giving birth to a lot of injustice to cheat his father.

In addition, a few days after the child was born, Charlize's mother, the child's grandmother, Gaz Theron, also rushed over.

Guzz Theron is a very strong woman, in order to protect her children, she can even kill her unemotional husband.

Ruthless one.

But no matter how ruthless a person is, he can only be ruthless at his own level.

Encountered crushing from high-dimensional planes, and pressure from capital and power.

Gaz Theron is just an ordinary middle-aged and elderly woman.

In addition, she is well aware of her daughter's difficulties as an outsider in Hollywood.

So when Charlize met Abel, Charlize, who didn't think of giving in so quickly, asked her mother for advice.

In her heart, the strong mother who is dependent on each other is the pillar that Charlize trusts very much.

At that time, the suggestion given by Guz Theron was that if you can't resist, then accept it.

Charlize followed her advice.Even including the childbirth later, there is also the spiritual support of Gaz Theron.

Earlier, due to scruples about the shrub family.

Plus there is also concern about the mental state of the lady.

After all, she has a history of killing her own husband.
After Charlize gave birth to the baby, and Guz Theron passed the examination of several senior psychiatrists.

She can finally see her granddaughter Arya and her own daughter as a grandmother.

It may also be that after leaving South Africa, I traveled to many countries and suffered too much.

Gutz Theron is not as sharp as he used to be.When she came here, she was no different from most normal grandmas.

For the past few days, she has been taking care of the children.

Of course, professional nurses and nannies will also help.

There's also the issue of Charlize's confinement.

Chinese people think that Americans do not need to confine themselves to confinement after giving birth. This concept can be said to be wrong, but it can also be said not to be so.

The vast majority of ordinary Americans don't confine themselves, yes, that's right.

But it's not that Americans really don't confine themselves to confinement and don't take postpartum leave.

Most Americans don't do confinement or postpartum leave, the real reason is that they don't dare to take leave.

You should know that there is no such thing as maternity leave in the United States.

There are more than [-] laws of all kinds, large and small, throughout the United States.

The only thing related to maternity leave is Zipperton's 1993 Family and Medical Leave Act.

The bill stipulates 12 weeks of unpaid leave, and it is only applicable to companies with more than 50 employees, and employees must work in the company for more than 12 months and work more than 1250 hours per year.

These conditions combine to prevent most American women from enjoying maternity leave.

The key is that after a vacation, it is easy to lose your job or affect your promotion.

Secondly, wealthy Americans will also take postpartum leave.

It's just that most of the methods of confinement in China are old rules and traditions handed down from the ancestors.

These rules and traditions can be said to be very suitable under the hygienic conditions of ancient times.

In modern times with better sanitary conditions, many of them are actually unnecessary.

It's just that ordinary people don't have the conditions to choose, so they simply follow the method taught by their ancestors and the older generation.

Don't worry about trouble, and don't need to be nagged by elders.

Rich and qualified people in the United States are very particular about postpartum leave.

And they are all based on physiology and nutrition, with specialized private doctors or hospital guidance, hardware conditions are incomparable.

Of course, the rich people in China are actually the same.

Charlize, who is now on postpartum leave, was initially lying in bed.

Up to now, I can walk on the ground to promote the discharge of lochia.

Like today, after eating a specially prepared nutritious meal and feeding the baby milk.

Charlize still felt bloated, too much milk.

She just wanted to find an Abel brand nai suction device to drain the excess nai water.

The main reason is that she has a good physique, she doesn't look big, but she has enough volume, and her stamina is excellent.
His mother, Guzz Theron, was left to watch over the child, while Charlize herself, with the help of a nurse, went slowly to the living room to find Abel.

When she came to the living room, she saw Liabel sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Opposite him are Alan Baker and David Jones, and next to him are the Four King Kong who she also knows.

Abel was on the phone, and when he saw her coming out, he nodded at her and motioned her to come and sit next to him.

Seeing that he was busy with business and planning to leave, Charlize had to walk slowly with the help of the nurse.

As she walked over, including David, Allen, and the Four King Kongs nodded and smiled at her.

These most important confidants of Smith know that the woman in front of them has given birth to Abel Smith's first child.

Even if this child is just an illegitimate daughter, her name, Arya Laura Smith, has been recognized by both the Smith family and the Bush family (Little Laura).

With this kind of acknowledgment, she will be more noble than most people.

Naturally, it is also the future Miss Smith of their cronies.

And as her mother, Charlize Theron deservedly gained more respect than other women than Aber.

Charlize also noticed this, she smiled and nodded to the most important subordinates around Abel.

After coming to Abel, Charlize listened to him on the phone.

"...Thank you very much, Jason. Sotheby's is worthy of being the number one auction house. I am very satisfied with your service."

"I can sign the contract at any time. Don't worry, gentlemen Wagner."

"Yes, I'm really interested in farms. But what I want is a large-scale farm that can carry out agricultural production and have enough water resources. The area must be at least tens of thousands of acres."

"It's boring if it's too small. Unless you can buy several smaller farms and combine them into one."

"Well, it's not just the United States. It's also possible in foreign countries, as long as the normal rights and interests can be guaranteed."

"Don't worry. As long as it satisfies me, the commission is not a problem. Sotheby's commission is 1.5%, right? I'll give you 1.75%."

"Then it's settled!"

"."

Charlize saw him hang up with a smile, and dropped the phone on the table.

"Jason Jones took care of the Wagner family. Now the largest continuous farm in the United States, he is already mine."

Abel looked at David and Allen, "The question now is, who should I let be in charge of my agricultural company? Or can I only rely on headhunting companies?"

Just now, Abel received a call from Jason Jones, the general manager of the US branch of Sotheby's auction house who had contacted him not long ago.

Jason Jones has good news for Abel.

That is the Wagner Farm with an area of ​​20.7 hectares, which is 51.5 acres in US units.

Its owner, the Wagner family, is willing to sell it to Abel for [-] million US dollars.

20.7 hectares, this area is nearly three times the land area of ​​Singapore, and three times the area within the fifth ring road of the Chinese imperial capital.

It is also nearly twice the land area of ​​Hong Kong Island.

No matter what angle you look at, this is an exaggeratedly large farm.

For more than a month, Abel's advisory group and several internationally renowned auction houses.

They are all helping him find land and farms that can be used for large-scale agricultural production around the world.

Either rent or buy.Abel has already planned to set up an agricultural company, which will be included within the Pacific Supermarket Group.

His eyes are not only on the United States, but also on foreign countries.

So far, preliminary negotiations have been successful, and the intended land has been signed.

The total area has exceeded 135 million hectares.In other words, 1.35 square kilometers of land in this world already belong to Smith.
Nearly 4% of them are in the United States, [-]% in Australia, and [-]% in South America—mainly in Brazil and Argentina.

The last piece of land, in Bird Crane.

Having said that, Abel bought the land of Birdcrane, and the middle introducer was not the auction house, but Richard Gephardt.

Richard Gephardt was a bigwig of the Donkey Party and the minority leader in the House of Representatives.

Not long ago, Smith attended the investment reception at the end of the year.

Such a bigwig on Capitol Hill was able to introduce and buy the land of Birdland to Abel.

It is conceivable that the donkey party's arrangement in Niao Kelan is very mature in this era.

Abel remembered the time when he was about to be reborn.

It is said that Niao Kelan has 1700 million hectares of agricultural land, which was bought by the three giants in the United States.

It accounts for nearly 28% of the country's land area.

Whether this was true, Abel didn't know.

But at the end of 2001 and now, the donkey party can influence the inside of Birdcrane.

Can even introduce Americans to buy land, Abel is sure.

Abel has purchased Niao Kelan, almost more than 13 hectares of fertile black land.

Of course, it is held through many names.Because legally, Niao Kelan does prohibit foreigners from buying land in the country.

But Western laws generally have only two purposes.

One is to restrict ordinary people, and the other is to exploit loopholes for the powerful and rich.

Now the headache for Abel is who will be in charge of this agricultural company.

He takes his troika very seriously.Agricultural companies are an important part of the industry in the troika.

In this position, it is very important that you can only put your trusted people.

Like Buffett, he also has an agricultural company and keeps a low profile.

The controller of his agricultural company is his eldest son Howard Buffett.

There is still no son Abel, and even if there is, it is too young.

If you can't find it, look at it now.You can only find a headhunting company, and it will take a while to hire professionals.

The content of Abel's discussion that Charlize heard was about this part of the agricultural company.

At this time, she heard Abel's chief consultant, Alan Baker, suggest in a low voice:
"Perhaps Ms. Emily can be put in charge?"

"Huh?" Both Abel and Charlize looked at him.

Alan Baker was a little nervous, and he didn't know if his suggestion would be useful.

But in line with the idea of ​​being responsible for the boss, he still explained the reason for his suggestion.

"As far as I know, Ms. Emily has been in charge of Smith Farm since the end of last year."

Alan Baker talked eloquently: "I have read some reports and data of Smith Farm. From last year to now, Smith Farm has more than 1999- In 2000, it increased by six to eleven percent."

"I have seen a lot of Ms. Emily, the decision to implement the Smith Farm, and those orders. Although I am not familiar with the farm, I will let the farm management experts look at it."

"They all think that this is a level of management that can only be achieved by a senior farm expert."

"So." Allen looked at the boss, "That's why I have this suggestion. Of course, it depends on the opinions of you and Ms. Emily, BOSS."

My mother is so powerful?

Or is my dad too good at managing the farm?
Regarding his parents, Abel scratched his head a little. He looked at Edward: "What is my mother doing now?"

"Mrs. Smith took the farm dogs and a few workers to Fort Worth to participate in the competition." Edward replied.

Oh, Abe remembered.

Today just so happens to be Tarrantshire's annual dog show.

Not dog fighting.

Instead, let the farmers and veterinary experts judge the dog's score through observation and trials of all aspects of the dog.

Thus, the new dog king and the supreme kennel in Tarrant County this year were selected.

In the past, Smith Farm was often honored as the King of Dogs and the Supreme Kennel.

That's why Smith Farm raises so many dogs. Because of this name, many farmers are willing to come here to buy puppies at a high price and raise them back.

Abel used to think that his master dog trainer, Daddy, was the best.

Thinking about it now, could it be that my mother, the farm lady, is so good?

He wasn't sure either.

As for putting his mother in charge of the agricultural company, he was also not sure if Emily would do it, or if she would.
