America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 412 The son of the chaebol "hopes his father will be unified"

November 1rd afternoon.

In the Texas House of Representatives, the new speaker was finally elected after three votes.

The new Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives is Mr. Alexander Smith, State Representative and County Executive from Tarrant County.

In the state legislature, Mr. Alexander Smith, in accordance with the procedure, resigned from the position of Tarrant County county governor and was sworn in as the new speaker of the Texas House of Representatives.

Since then, from mid-January this year, the impeachment incident of the Texas State Assembly has come to an end.

On the way out of the Texas State Capitol.

In the cabin of the Cadillac monster.

Two years ago, he was a very traditional Texas farmer, and now Mr. Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, Alexander couldn't help but say:
"I'm just getting used to Fort Worth, and now I'm moving to Austin. Seriously, I hate phony Austin."

"Come on."

In the front co-pilot, Abel looked back at his mother Emily, who was smiling and sitting next to Alexander, and said to his father Alexander with a smile:

"I don't know how many people, in a lifetime, can't complete the path you have traveled in the past year and a half. My dear dad, don't get cheap and act like a good boy."

Hearing his son's rude reply, Alexander snorted, but he was not angry.

Alexander himself knew very well in his heart that how many people would envy him for such an experience.

All his achievements were brought about by the only son in front of him.

Otherwise, if it were me, I might have to struggle since I was young to experience this kind of power.

It is only possible.

And now, I do almost nothing.

Just because of his son, he became one of the Big Four in Texas without any effort.

Among the political elites across the United States, I don’t know how many people envy themselves, and they are so envious that they curse.

Thinking of this, even Alexander, who had no interest in power and governance.

At this time, he couldn't help feeling a little ambitious.

For male creatures, power is really the best stimulant in many cases.

A sheriff, and the sheriff of Tarrant, who was born and raised by him.

Alexander didn't feel much excitement or a sense of accomplishment.

It should be said that the feeling of novelty is more.

But now the identity has become the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Texas.

This is the role of a big shot in the United States.

Even if it is "indifferent to the famous Alexander", it is difficult to calm down at the moment.

Emily, who was listening to the conversation between the father and son, couldn't help but whispered: "But...Alexander, are you able to do it?"

This is indeed a problem.

Unlike being Sheriff of Tarrantshire.

In Tarrantshire, the Smith family has been rooted for almost 200 years.

Contacts and in-laws, even if the family is small, are all over Tarrant.

There is this layer of relationship, plus there is Abel who is making a fortune outside.

And the coercion of the shrub family brought about by Abel.

Even if Alexander is in Tarrantshire, do nothing.

You can also stay firmly in the position of the sheriff.

If you want to do something, it will be easier on the whole because of these factors.

But now the stage is moved from Tarrant, the hometown of the Smith family, to Austin, the most complicated place in Texas.

Even if Abel's power is still there, the bush family can support him close at hand.

But whether Alexander can be the Speaker of the House of Representatives in Texas is really a big nickname.

For a long time, the place where Alexander showed his ability was Smith Farm.

A year as Sheriff in Tarrantshire.

At most, it just made Alexander familiar with the corresponding rules and procedures.

As a wife, Emily, who can be regarded as born in a wealthy family in Kansas, is quite normal to have such worries.

Alexander opened his mouth, wanting to tell his wife not to worry.

He just opened his mouth, but the words haven't come out yet.

He has already heard his son say: "Dear mother, don't worry about this. Who do you think is more capable than Dad or George?"

"Forehead……"

Emily didn't know how to answer.

Let's say George Bush is capable...

Emily has actually known George Bush for a long time.

The Smith family has indeed been in contact with the bush family for a long time.

Because of the relationship between Alex and Herbert.

Especially in George, when he was the general manager of the Texas Rangers, he went to Smith Farm once or twice a month.

Because the home field of the Texas Rangers, as well as the training ground, is in Tarrant County.

Alex was also a shareholder of the Rangers at the time and one of the founders.

The relationship between the two parties is very good.

In Emily's opinion.

During his tenure as the general manager of the Texas Rangers, and before George.

No matter which aspect, he is not as good as his own husband.

She had really seen it that way.

But in her opinion, she was inferior to her husband George Bush in every aspect.

But a few years ago, he easily became the governor of Texas.

Even last year, he actually became the leader of the United States of America.

Everyone has come to the bright side, the highest position an American man can achieve.

At this time, let Emily say that George is not as capable as her husband.

She was a little speechless.

Seeing his mother's reaction, Abel smiled.

Emily's reaction is also the normal reaction of many Texans, or Americans, to George Bush.

Say something unkind.

George has a good personality, and if his ability is convenient, he can be regarded as a pass at the moment.

Without his family, most importantly without his father.

Few people can believe that George Bush can become the leader of the United States.

George Bush became the commander-in-chief. Many people in Texas still think that this matter is magical.

Shining all the way with most of them, from the beginning to the end, it is the previous commanders of Zhengzhi stars.

Many people can't understand that George can take office.

However, the reality is like this.Literary and artistic works need to talk about logic, which is absent most of the time.

For many Americans, George's ability to become a general is already magical.

But if the Americans now know the real estate and TV businessman who is very unknown in New York.

If they become the President of the United States more than ten years later, they must feel even more magical.

Because compared to him, George was at least from a wealthy family.

He also served as Governor for several years before becoming Grand Commander.

Even if the ability is not enough, how can I say that I have relevant experience.

But in the reality of parallel time and space, such magical things happened like this.

There are more magical things behind, such as the one who is ready to hold a big one anytime and anywhere on important occasions.

So remember.

Literary and artistic works need logic, at least they need their readers to feel that they have logic.

Reality is unnecessary because reality has no readers.

"So don't worry, Mom." Abel comforted Emily:

"As long as nothing happens to your precious son. Then your dear husband, his position will only become more and more stable, or he will rise higher and higher. This is the reality, it is our United States, and it is the reality of this world."

Emily isn't really Mrs. Stupid Farmer.

She is also a top student who graduated from Rice University, and her family background is not bad.

It's just a simple life as a farmer, so she doesn't need to think about it for decades.

In the past year, she has been mainly managing the farm, and has not yet entered the status of the wife of a serious political figure.

Hearing what her son said now, Emily also understood.

"Okay." Abe's mother nodded, "George Bush can do it. Then I believe my husband can do it too."

She looked at Alexander sweetly, her eyes full of emotion.

"Oh, my love..." Alexander hugged his wife directly.

Looking at his parents who started throwing dog food, Abel shook his head with a smile, looked away, and sat down in the passenger cab.

Looking ahead on the wide streets of Austin

Abel thought to himself——

Herbert Shrub can make his son the great leader of the United States.

Then why can't I, Abe Smith, let my father complete this achievement?
Compared with the shrub family, what the Smith family lacks today is the heritage.

But in terms of resources, Abel felt that he was not much inferior to the shrub family.

Father became Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives.

Abel felt that for him, this was a crucial step for Alexander to really take his own plan.

It was the beginning of Alexander stepping out of this small place in Tarrant County and moving towards a broader stage.

The next step, what Alexander needs to plan is the identity of a member of Congress, or even a senator!

Or you can consider letting your father become the governor.

Of course, there is no way to be the governor of Texas for the time being.

Rick Perry's background is too strong, and his ability is also very strong.

The Bush family relies heavily on him, and the Smith family will become good friends with him in the future.

If you compete with this guy, it is easy to lose both sides.

But... Texas is not the only conservative state in the United States!
Take Kansas next door, for example, which is also a deep red conservative state.

The shrub family is over there and has some influence too.

And Indiana, which is also a deep red state now.

More importantly, it is the fourth most influential place besides Texas, California and New York.

Through a partnership with one of the Indiana senators.

The top three local newspapers are now owned by Smith Newspaper Group.

Just this point occupies the biggest advantage of public opinion in the local area.

Why was the Donkey Party able to defeat the Elephant Party in the end?

One of the reasons is because the donkey party relies on the Internet to occupy the vast majority of public opinion. Mouthpiece. Tongue!
And Alexander is only in his 50s now, two years younger than George.

In Texas or other places in the United States, hang around for a few more years and accumulate enough background.

It is not impossible to try to hit upwards.

Just like what I said to my parents just now.

George can be the leader of the United States, the most important thing is his father and family.

Whether Alexander can go that far, the most important thing is whether his own son has the ability to support him.

The most important key, everything in the end, still belongs to oneself.

"call--"

In the passenger seat of the Cadillac monster, Abel let out a foul breath.

Abel knew that the next thing he had to do was to adjust the staff around his father.

Alexander was in Tarrant's staff, and the first thing Abel thought of was Dwayne.

As a former member of the Tarrant County Councilor, Devine has been by his father's side and has been working hard for more than a year.

Without Devine, Alexander would never have sat so comfortably in the position of Sheriff of Tarrant County.

But Dwayne is really not capable, he is a guy who can't even be re-elected as a member of the Tarrant County Councilor.

Father's "chief of staff" can be used only in Tarrant County.

Once in Austin, it can no longer be used.

A few days ago, Abel had started to ask Smith to start looking for suitable staff for Alexander.

The work of this step is critical.

This is also the reason why George can generally do fairly well in the position of the commander of the United States.

Many of George Bush's staff were members of the team that had been there when Herbert lived in the White House.

Most are experienced, capable, and trustworthy.

It is not so easy for Alexander to have the same staff team.

Fortunately, my father is only the speaker of the Texas House of Representatives now.

In Abel's plan.

I and my father have worked hard for several years, which can be used to form the Smith family's own team.

Even if there are occasional mistakes in the middle, it is within an acceptable level.

Naturally, Alexander's feelings should also be taken care of here.

After all, he is his father, and his role has always been above his own.

Now that he arranges the whole process by himself, Abel is also worried that the old guy will have a rebellious mentality.

Anyway, the work in this area will not be too easy.

After all, it involves the dirtiest thing since the birth of human beings like Zhengzhi.

It needs to consider all aspects, much more than business and other aspects.

Come on step by step.

First of all, it is to let my father pass the hurdle at the end of this year.

Because according to the time, at the end of 2002, during the mid-term elections in the United States.

Texas, like many other states in the United States, will also take a free ride on the midterm elections and come to an internal election.

Rick Perry will seek re-election at the end of this year, rather than simply and easily succeeding George.

His father's position as a member of the House of Representatives is because he replaced the unlucky Mark Jelinken.

The position of the unlucky man will also be re-elected this year, and Alexander will replace the unlucky man.

Naturally, it turned out that Alexander was going to be re-elected.

If he fails to be re-elected at that time, even the position of Sheriff Tarrant will be lost.

Then his father will become a joke in Texas...

Of course, this rarely happens.

Unless he suddenly lost his influence before the end of this year.

Thinking of this, Abel already knew what to do next.

For the next few days, Abel stayed with his parents in Austin.

Alexander and his wife will need to stay in Austin in the future.

Becoming the speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, Alexander has become one of the stars of Texas.

Emily couldn't manage Smith Farm like she did in Tarrant County.

Many times, Austin needed Emily to accompany Alexander to attend some occasions.

The "first lady" culture is very important in the official arena of the United States.

Emily will go back and hand over the work of Smith Farm, and hand over the management of the family farm to someone she can trust.

The two are based in Austin, and the most important thing is of course the issue of accommodation.

This is easy to solve, not to mention Abel's new starting point real estate company.

Even the Smith family has properties here.

The family is in Austin and has a small villa in the southeast of the city center.Every year, Alex and his wife come to live here for two or three months.

It is enough for the two parents to live directly with the grandfather and grandmother.

In the sparsely populated Smith family, the family relationship has always been very good, and they are not afraid of living together.

After dealing with some trivial matters.

On February 2002, 2, when George Bush, the U.S. leader, boarded Air Force 5, he went to the country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean for a high-level diplomatic visit.

Abe also boarded the "Smith" and took off from Austin Bergstrom International Airport.

one hour later.

The "Smith" landed at the Houston Herbert Bush Intercontinental Airport, 37 kilometers away from downtown Houston.

From the name of the airport, we can see the influence of the shrub family in Houston.

The airport also primarily provides air services to the Houston metropolitan area.

It is the largest airport in the city of Houston and the second-largest and second-busiest airport in the state of Texas after Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

When Abel and his party waited and walked out of the terminal building.

Outside the building, there are a large number of media reporters, who have already been waiting.

Don't get me wrong, these reporters are not paparazzi or entertainment media reporters.

Most of the paparazzi, mainly in Los Angeles and New York, live in these two largest cities in the United States.

Outside the terminal building of the Herbert Bush Intercontinental Airport in Houston, the media reporters waiting for Abel were all specially dispatched by large media that rank among the top in the world.

Like the local "Wall Street Journal", "New York Times", "Fortune" and so on in the United States.

Such as "The Times" and "Guardian" in the UK, "Asahi Shimbun" and "Dumai Shimbun" in the neon cabinet, "Le Monde" in France, "New Zurich Zeitung" in Switzerland, "Bild" in Germany and so on.

When they ran here, they naturally received the wind in advance.

And this rumor was released by Abel and the people from the Texas consortium.

That's the last few days, Abel Smith will be in Houston.

Business cooperation with many giant companies such as Hughes Aircraft, Lin-Temco-Valter, Tenneco, First City National Bank of Houston, etc., for mergers, acquisitions, etc.

If these things are true, this cooperation may even have some impact on many aspects of the world.

For example, since then, Mr. the richest man in the world who has mainly focused on finance and media.

He will become one of the major shareholders of the largest arms chief in the world.

It might not even be possible to be one of the dominant players.

For many small countries, this is already a super big man.

For these reasons, there are a large number of large media reporters.

You can even find some, which are neither neon cabinets nor Han Guo's Asian reporters.

They are from China.

The matter is of great importance, and the field is a bit sensitive.

Even the Eastern "People's Newspaper", which has never paid much attention to American business news, sent a special reporter today.

Now these reporters saw Abel and his team coming out of the airport terminal building on purpose for them to see.

Even the security guards at the airport, the local police station in Houston, and the rock security guards were already prepared.

They were still staggered by the crazy and excited reporters.

All of a sudden, countless questions, accompanied by a sea of ​​flashing lights and camera shutters, were thrown at Abe Smith frantically.
