America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 485 When the Texas Consortium and the California Consortium are connected

Washington DC District.

Tonight, this banquet is a seemingly ordinary, but actually high-profile party that has attracted much attention.

The banquet was held for several hours, and it can be said that celebrities gathered.

Because the timing of the banquet was rather special, almost all major consortiums in the United States were present.

When the banquet was in full swing, Abel even fantasized about——

What if someone dropped a wooden egg on top of the banquet hall at this time.

That night, the most powerful country on this planet will definitely collapse immediately, and even cause a wave of brain death.

Of course, this kind of thing can only be a fantasy.

In this period, probably with the exception of aliens.

There is really no country on earth that can deliver eggs over the top of the protected white house.

If there is a country that can do it, it will not be the United States.

But that country is number one in the world.

In this seemingly ordinary banquet, the actual specifications have been improved.

Even the current owner of the white house, George, has changed from a noble owner to a role similar to a host.

The commander-in-chief shuttled around the entire banquet scene like a butterfly wearing flowers.

Communicating with people everywhere, so busy.

Surrounded by the core figures of the entire Texas consortium, Abel naturally became one of the most watched figures at the banquet.

The reason why it is only one of the most concerned figures is naturally because there are too many big figures in this banquet.

None of Abel's old acquaintances is a small person.

I won’t talk about John Chris Morgan and David Rockefeller.

Alan Greenspan, the current chairman of the Federal Reserve, and Buffett, the prophet of Omaha, etc., also appear a little thin in it.

They are as high-profile as Abel and Morgan.

It has to be the controller behind the behemoths such as First Citibank, DuPont, Boston Consortium, and Mellon Consortium.

Yep, they're all here.

The main reason why they came here is because of the meeting of the Federal Advisory Committee tomorrow.

A small part of the reason is that these people came here more or less in the mood of watching the excitement.

And the excitement they want to watch is naturally related to the grievances between Abel and the rich families on the east coast.

Abel has a special relationship with the East Coast giants.

First of all, he is a Texan who has always been hated by the East Coast giants, but also helpless.

Secondly, his fortune and one of his current bases is in New York City, the core base of the East Coast giants.

He has laid a stable field in the financial battlefield where the East Coast giants are best at.

It was so stable that Rockefeller and Morgan were helpless.

Now he is using his ability in this area, with the support of the Texans, to challenge the giants on the East Coast.

What's even more ironic is that his relationship with the giants on the East Coast has always been very friendly.

Hearst and Hilton, the second-tier east coast giants, even have a close relationship with him.

All in all, the banquet tonight was very lively.

But nothing of substance happened.

In this banquet, most of the people just came out to get acquainted, and then made false claims with various forces.

It is absolutely impossible to negotiate a peace of real interests in such a grandiose manner in front of everyone.

Only when they reach a certain level and have the intention of cooperation in the same direction.

Only then will I find another place and discuss it in detail. This is the normal mode.

And tomorrow's regular meeting of the Federal Advisory Committee is not just for one day.

Each regular meeting, as short as two or three days, as long as a week.

Sometimes, if we can't reach an agreement, there will be a stalemate for more than half a month.

With such a major interest at stake, how could a one- or two-hour meeting be settled.

Think long-term, combine vertically and horizontally, use unique tricks, you advance and retreat, coercion and compromise, etc. are all staged.

In the end, after burning the brain cells of an unknown number of smart people, it is possible to achieve a result that is satisfactory to each other, or at least acceptable.

In other words, tonight's banquet is just the beginning of the vicissitudes of DC in the next few days.

Honestly, the social field for this specification.

Abel doesn't have much experience and it's his first time participating.But Davis Brown they have.

The old guys are now in the same camp as him.

with the same interests.They were also willing to charge Abel's way for their own benefit.

This made Abel's work easier.

In addition, Abel was not without gains in this banquet.

Tonight, at the beginning.

As soon as she entered the banquet hall of the White House, Keira Wilson was taken to the California consortium by her brother.

But soon she came back, with a bunch of old guys from the California consortium.

Like the Texas consortium, the California consortium is controlled by more than one family.

The Wilson family is just one of the important constituents.

They hold Wells Fargo, the most important control.

In addition to the Wilson family, the Litton family of Kayla's sister-in-law, the Etta family of Martin Corporation, the Giannini family of the founder of Bank of America, the Milton family of the second largest private shareholder of Bank of America and Wells Fargo...

Including Wilson, there are a total of 6 important members of the core family of the California consortium, and they had a good chat with the Texas consortium led by Abel.

In fact, in the past, the California consortium and the Texas consortium have always had signs of grudge competition.

Because we are very similar in many aspects, and are competitors in many aspects.

To put it simply, they are all gunmen, and they are the most powerful existence among the princes of the empire.

This situation has changed since the 90s.

After entering the 90s, due to certain things, the California consortium, which was not very united, became even more divided.

It was just a split.

But the veteran giants on the east coast seized the opportunity to sneak in.

Many methods were used to invade the disunity of the California consortium.

Up to now, part of the California consortium has been influenced and controlled by the East Coast giants.

By this time, the California guys found out.

They should not be angry with the Texans, but should learn from the Texans.

The Texans have been suppressed by the East Coast giants for so many years.

But looking at the entire United States, the Texas consortium is almost the only regional consortium that is not invaded by the East Coast giants.

Similar regional forces, in the entire United States except Texas, there is only one Utah Mormon who is extremely poor.

The California consortium is actually very envious of the Utah Mormons and the old landowners in Texas.

In the eyes of the California guys, these two gangs of birdmen are either engaged in a lot of F and Q, or they are encouraging the red necks to come out with guns to make trouble with the Federation.

These two buddies are the most evil, but the two old hats are still doing nothing, and they are very popular among the people in the state.

The Mormons can fool around, they collect tithes and build big temples and big schools everywhere.

Brigham Young is a series of schools, the world's largest private university, private school.

Mormons also have public warehouses, tithes and church property, and will help church members in need. They are very popular among the middle and lower classes, and there are many berserkers.

In addition to being poor, the veteran rich families on the east coast see that they don't have much money, so they basically don't pay much attention to them.

Californians envy their independence, but not their poverty.

In contrast, Texas has more oil and water, and its natural resources are better than California.

But it can also maintain a strong independence, which makes the California consortium envious.

Texas was originally dominated by farming and animal husbandry, and it was originally a group of ranchers.

Usually there is no entertainment.Tired of herding the cows, the loudspeaker yelled and gathered the cowboys under his command. A group of people rode horses and went to Mexico with guns.

It's just one state's territory, and if you have nothing to do, you can go to Mexico to play and grab Lao Mo's cattle.

The leader came to ask for cattle and falsely accused him of aggression. The Lone Star Republic was not called for nothing.

Dezhou is a state with vast land and extremely open urban road space. There are more large bungalows than buildings.

The food in Texas is ugly, the houses are old, and the residents are landless. It is not at all like the third most developed state in the United States.

In the eyes of Californians, this bird state is not like the United States at all. When you meet howdy, there are more Lone Star flags than Stars and Stripes.

The same is one of the princes, and the counterparts in Texas have such a good time, but he looks like this.

The California guy was very envious, and began to want to learn from the Texans.

Also since the 90s, the relationship between the two parties has eased a lot.

George was able to come to power smoothly, and the easing of relations between Texas and California had a great impact.

If future generations look into it, they will find that it was only in the 90s that there was occasional news about the need for a referendum in California.

Unlike Texas, there were frequent troubles more than 100 years ago.

This means that some Californians did not realize until the 90s that troublesome children have girls...

And now, because of Abel and Slade Wilson.

The relationship between the two parties is obviously more gentle.

The combination of the two major armies, industrial complexes and complexes is naturally more eye-catching at the banquet.

Now Californians and Texans understand that next in DC, we have very similar common interests to fight for.

Well, at the banquet, the Californian and the Texan, of course, had a great time chatting with each other.

With joy, Keira Wilson came to Abel's side.

When Huan arrived at the end of the banquet, she even left as she came.

She came in Abel's car.

When I left, I also took Abel's car.

It was Abel's Cadillac monster that "got lost".

Did not send her back to the place where the California consortium lives.

Nor was it sent back to the Wilson family stronghold in Washington.

Instead, they sent her to No. 599, Water Street, DC.

No. 599 Southwest Water Street, DC, is a 1-story townhouse.

It is less than 100 meters away from the place where the famous "Gate S incident" took place, and it is at most 150 meters away from Capitol Hill, one of the core power centers in the United States.

For a long time, all the owners who owned it were members of Congress or high-ranking federal officials.

Last year, it was bought by New Start Real Estate Company.

Since then, this old England-style mansion with a history of more than 100 years has become one of the residences of members of the Smith family when they were working in DC.

An old-fashioned townhouse in England, the night of May 5th.

In the owner's small meeting room on the fifth floor.

"Want a drink?"

Abel took out a bottle of red wine from the closet full of all kinds of fine wines.

Keira's cheeks were a little flushed, she had actually drunk a little at the banquet, and she was a little tipsy.

But looking at the tall, strong and very handsome Abel, she still nodded.

She felt that she really needed more alcohol now!

Or rather, she needs some courage!
Abel poured her a glass of red wine, and then sat across from Keira, not far or near.

This is a safe distance summed up by his "old hunter", which can relieve the tension of the prey without appearing alienated.

When he took Kayla away from her brother, he seemed very domineering, but he softened when things came to an end.

After all, he intends to "hold for the long term."

He was teasing girls, not girls.

Emotional exchange is very necessary!

So he didn't put any pressure on Keira, showing the consideration that a gentleman should have.

With Abel's gentleness and the help of alcohol, Keira's mood gradually eased.

There was an intoxicating smile on her face, and her gaze at Abel changed from hesitation and confusion to shyness and expectation.

The two chatted a lot and got to know each other better.

Abel was very frank. He told Keira directly about his ambition for the California consortium.

But he confessed very skillfully, in his "confessions."

He showed that she, Keira Wilson, would be very important, even central.

Once he succeeds, it means that she will become more important in the California consortium.

Maybe it was the right scene, or maybe it was because he knew Jasmine's appearance, so he didn't deceive Abel at all.

Kayla also begins to confess to him.

She said she didn't want to be a victim of family marriage, she didn't want to be a reproductive machine.

She wanted to stay in the Wilson family, she didn't want her brother to be kicked out.

She wanted Abel to help her, and was more than happy to pay for it.

By this time, most of the bottle of red wine has gone down...

Abel, who judged that the time had come, turned on the record player in the living room.

He put down his wine glass, walked up to Keira, caressed her beautiful back with one hand, stretched forward with the other, with a small body, and invited Kaila with a standard gentleman's courtesy:

"Sincerity can eliminate all misunderstandings and make us feel close. May I ask you to dance, beautiful lady?"

"Well……"

Keira put her hot palm on Abel's hand.

She felt that she really drank too much now.

The melodious waltz sounded.

Handsome men and beautiful women are dancing in the living room.

The friction of the limbs brought a collision of the soul.

The uneasiness in Keira's heart has completely dissipated. She is constantly adapting to Abel's gentleness. Looking at Abel's perfect profile, Keira's deer is bumping wildly.

Until the end of the song, the two looked at each other.

Kayla was drunk.

Too drunk to keep my eyes open...

Her body is very light, as if floating on the clouds.

"You are a devil, you not only want the California consortium, not only my body..."

Keira whispered softly: "You still want to capture my soul!"

"Then...do you accept it, accept it, or accept it?"

Hearing three acceptances in a row, Kaila, who was just drunk, froze.

She looked up and wanted to respond.

"Woooo..."

It was no longer necessary, and the response was blocked.

Behind, it is naturally the California consortium and the Texas consortium. It is time for the close connection from the deepest part of the soul.

The next day.

The early morning in the affluent district of Washington is extremely quiet.

Here, apart from the occasional chirping of birds and the footsteps of people doing morning exercises, it is difficult to hear the sound of car horns and noisy voices of people.

At 8 o'clock in the morning, Abel woke up in the master bedroom on the 6th floor of the old mansion due to the stable biological clock.

Looking at the strange decorations around him, he remembered that this was his first stay at this property.

Looking at the mess next to him, the complacent expression on Abel's face was fleeting.

Get off from Simmons, he covers Kayla with a quilt.

Abel was naked and walked into the bathroom next to him.

Ten minutes later, when he came out again, he was refreshed and changed into a bathrobe.

Before going out, he took a last look at Simmons on Keira, and a feeling of a hunter after enjoying the prey emerged spontaneously.

Close the door and go downstairs.

On the fourth floor, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows facing Southwest Water Street Street.

On the dining table covered with a clean white tablecloth, there are a variety of delicacies.

Cutting a piece of Texas-style grilled pork chops, while eating, Abel listened to Edward's soft report.

"Last night, Mr. Wilson Jr. sent people over many times, trying to pick up Miss Wilson."

"Oh."

"Mr. Wilson Jr. in the back even wanted to force his way in. But we stopped them, and their people showed signs of doing something. A few Californians came from behind and persuaded Mr. Wilson Jr. away."

Abel nodded, he was not surprised by what happened last night.

Confront yourself with what you did to Kayla.

Or Kayla Wilson's own practice or choice.

It was impossible for John Wilson to remain indifferent.

It was only natural that John wanted to take Kayla away by force.

But long-term holding is also what Abel wants to do with Keira Wilson.

Here, Keira's beauty accounts for up to 5% of the factors.

The remaining 95% is on the internally divided California consortium.

So Abel wouldn't let him take Kayla away.

If the two sides can't ease up, it doesn't matter if it's a fight in DC.

Anyway, it is impossible to make a big fuss, this is the most heavily guarded place in the United States.

But what Abel didn't expect was the fact that the California consortium came to persuade John Wilson to leave.

Abel had already discovered it last night.

On the California consortium, some people are optimistic and even supportive of Kayla getting closer to him.

I was able to take Keira away smoothly, and this group of people can say that they have made great efforts.

Without them holding John Wilson, he couldn't take Kayla away at all.

Abel guessed that the ones who persuaded John to leave were probably the same group of California guys.

Then it seems that the California consortium is really divided to a deep extent, and the situation may be a little dangerous.

And Abel didn't believe that last night, after Keira was taken away by him, John Wilson didn't go to his father.

Slade Wilson has Abel's personal contact number.

And that satellite phone had been within reach of him all night last night.

But it didn't ring the whole time, so that Abel checked it halfway and thought it was broken.

Not bad.

Only Slade Wilson didn't call.

As for not wanting to fight, or not calling because of other reasons.

That Abel is not clear.
