America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 487 The biggest moths in the empire
It was hard for Kaila to imagine what kind of scene it would be if the core figures of the two consortiums were fighting.

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

Some time ago, when he was a guest at Wilson's house.The conversation is very extraordinary, and she feels that she is not inferior to her father.

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

Such a person would fight?
As for Abel, she couldn’t help but look Abel up and down.

Well, this body, this look, plus his typical Texan origins.

Stereotypes are full.

Fighting seems normal.

Thinking of this, Keira couldn't help asking: "Then... can the meeting go on?"

"Of course it can't go on."

Abel shrugged at her with a smile, "We started fighting at the time. There were people on the east coast who wanted to help, and we Texans were not cowardly at all. So it developed into a group fight. Me and a few Texans, and ten A few people from the east coast fought each other. People from other places came to break the fight. Oh, including your brother. I accidentally touched his face with my elbow on the way. I am so sorry."

What he said earlier made Keira no longer know what to say.

In that kind of place, fighting with those people... It's really hard for her to imagine.

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

Hearing later, he said that he "accidentally injured" his brother, and Kaila confirmed curiously:
"Careless? Are you sure you are really careless?"

"I'm sure." Abel said confidently.

"Ok."

To be honest, because Abel broke the news too much.

She can't turn her head around now, and she is not interested in knowing that her brother was "accidentally injured" by Abel.

Seeing her like this, Abel smiled slightly, and had no intention of explaining.

He felt that if he added that it was John Chris Morgan who started it, he was only defending himself.

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

"After dinner, you'd better take a rest first. Don't go out, I'm going out to deal with things."

Abel spoke again.

Keira nodded quickly.

This kind of thing happened all the time, and I don't know how much trouble there will be, no matter how busy I am, it's normal.

Abel came back to comfort himself as soon as possible.

Keira felt that this was a sign of his importance to himself.

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

Abel smiled at her, got up and walked out, and he quickly left 599 Water Street, DC.

After half an hour.

Washington, DC, Southwest District, near the DC campus of Southeast University, in a Victorian-style single-family 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."

In a living room of the mansion, there are flower glass carvings of the Virgin Mary.

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

Beside him sat a smiling David Rockefeller.

"What dare not? I trust Herbert."

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

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

Herbert smiled and said softly to John Chris and David, as well as Abel beside him.

That's right, the person who was "choked" by John Chris just now is Abel who lives not far from here at 599 Water Street, DC.

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

When their family didn't live in the white house, they usually lived here.

This house was purchased by Herbert in the capital of the empire when he was the party whip.

As for not long ago, at the regular meeting of the Federal Advisory Committee, the two sides of the "big fight" are talking and laughing here at this moment, and there are naturally some inhumane secrets in it.

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

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

After everyone sat down, the old man said with a frightened expression.

What could scare the former Grand Commander, one of the powerful figures of the empire?

Of course, it was the masters of the empire, and gang fights broke out among them.

Group fights are not terrible, what is terrible is the series of terrible consequences that may be caused by tearing one's face.

What kind of consequences?
Infighting, the kind that never dies.In the end of the fight, both sides may suffer, or one side may lose miserably.

The key is that on the side of the disastrous defeat, they may think of dying together.

The result is that the top of the empire, which is internally stable, is severely torn apart, creating irreparable and terrifying rifts.

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

Otherwise, let alone Keira who was a little overwhelmed after hearing this.

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

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

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

"Conspiracy? When you were at the venue, it didn't matter at all!"

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

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

He, the middleman, stepped forward to say so, and Abel and John Chris 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 already negotiated with your Smith boy. Morgan and Rockefeller have 10% of the shares in Smith Financial Group. Smith owns JP Morgan Chase and Morgan Stanley respectively. 10% of the shares. At the same time, the voting rights of Texans in the Federal Reserve have increased to 19%, but Smith must be limited to holding them.”

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

"They called me this morning and told me about it. I agreed, and then John Cleese said he was going to do a play. Then we fought. I personally think my play is very good. good."

By this time, Herbert had fully figured it out.

In fact, things are complicated and complicated, but simple and simple.

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

The cooperation between the two parties was very pleasant. It can be said that everyone got what they needed, and everyone had a good time together.

After that cooperation, as well as the experiences and feelings since rebirth.

Abel felt that in the United States, he was actually climbing rapidly in the old order.

Rather than start a new stove, overthrow the mountain, and rebuild the mountain by yourself.

If he wanted to continue climbing, he couldn't bypass the old mountains like Morgan and Rockefeller.

Instead of trying to deal with them, it is better to be a part of them directly.

Within them, gain higher power and influence.

Just like what I did within the Texas consortium.

Rockefeller, Morgan and the others felt that this kid had become a big deal.

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

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

Abel's standards in all aspects are extremely in line with the Protestant Puritan code of conduct.

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

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

With the basis for cooperation, there is also the feeling of cooperation.

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

They invested in Abel's core business, and Abel also held shares in their core industry.

The two parties negotiated peace and entanglement, and held each other's shares, forming a seemingly stable alliance of interests for the time being.

As for the fight at noon, it was John Chris' proposal.

The head of Morgan felt that it would be better for Abel to maintain a distance from them on the surface, or even appear hostile to them.

In that way, everyone may be able to continue to join forces next time and harvest the world.

At the same time, it can also be performed for other American princes, so that it can serve as a better cover for the subsequent actions of both parties.

Everything was arranged like this.It's just that when acting, some accidents happened.

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

In their vision, it was originally Abel and John Chris who "fighted".

Unexpectedly, it turned into a group fight.

It's really—

False business wars: strategizing, intrigue, you come and I go...

Real business warfare: snatching official seals, physical combat, physical trouble...

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

Facing John Chris' 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, tomorrow or the day after, find a makeup artist It makes it look a little bit more serious. It's more convincing and it helps our relationship."

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

As for Herbert, looking at the "happy" scene in front of him, it can be said that he smiled with relief.

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

It is true that he is the representative launched by the Texans, and he took the position smoothly.But in fact, there are very strong Rockefeller traces on their family.

His superior, Rockefeller, is also a contributor.

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

Compared with shrubs, Smith is actually more rooted in Texas.

People like Smith have really been rooted in Texas for 200 years.

Before the Lone Star Republic joined the Federation, he had already lived in Texas.

Well now, because of Abel.

The Texas consortium has basically regarded the shrub as its real own.

Rockefeller, the hidden backer of the bush family, is now also negotiating peace with Abel.

This is simply the most beautiful situation for shrubs.

From an enemy to an actual ally, the atmosphere in the living room has naturally become very pleasant.

"You want Wells Fargo?"

While chatting, David suddenly looked at Abel and said softly:
"Slade Wilson's daughter did not come out of your house last night."

After saying this, Old Rockefeller looked at Herbert on purpose.

Your grandson-in-law left another woman to stay overnight, you didn't respond?
Herbert smiled without saying a word, and nodded to David.

It really deserves to be a shrub that relies on women for its superiority - 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? The premise is that it can be done."

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

Bank of America, like Wells Fargo, is the financial heart of the California consortium.

Bank of America, also known as Bank of America, is actually the first commercial bank in the United States in terms of assets.

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

Its headquarters is located in San Francisco, and the Giannini family of the California consortium is its main controller.

"Have you thought about what to do?" Abel asked with interest.

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

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

For the more stable Bank of America, he naturally has nothing to do.

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

John Chris also nodded with a smile.

Abel just shrugged.

Looking at the appearance of the three of them, Herbert felt that a picture like this appeared in front of his eyes:
The huge pack of wolves named "California Consortium" showed signs of decline due to internal divisions and struggles.

At this time, the fierce tigers named Smith, Rockefeller, and Morgan were already staring at the side.

Once the wolves show their flaws, or the tigers themselves are too hungry.

When the tiger comes down the mountain, the wolves will be hit.

After half an hour.

On the way to the White House, in the compartment of the Cadillac Monster.

Herbert looked at the incredibly young Abel beside him.

Looking at the Washington street scene flying by outside the car window, the old man couldn't help feeling:
"When Alex and I were your age, we were still flying a plane in the sky over the Pacific Ocean and fighting neon people to the death. But at your age, you have become the most powerful person in our country. One of them. Sometimes when I think about it, I really don’t know what we were doing at that time.”

"Everyone living in this era must thank you. It is your sacrifice and heroism that have given us 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 froze for a moment, then laughed.

"Haha - moths, all right. We're moths, right. We're moths, we're all moths."

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've seen little Arya, she's so beautiful and lovely."

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

"I think I'm getting a little old. I don't know how long I'm going to live. Prescott doesn't have a good marriage target yet, 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 that's what I want you to do."

After listening to the old man's words, Abel was a little speechless.

What does it mean that Prescott has no marriage partner? Barbara and Jenna are still young. If they want to see the fourth generation, they must rely on themselves and little Laura?
Obviously you and little Laura are younger, okay?

Little Laura just turned 18 after her birthday this year!

Jenna and the others are already adults.

Not to mention Prescott, the eldest son of the 3rd generation of the bush family, now 26 years old!

Herbert wants to see the great-great-grandson of the 4th generation, and the one who should work hard should be Prescott, right? !
But Abel knew that what he wanted to see the fourth-generation blood was just an excuse for Herbert.

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

One is that the old man expressed dissatisfaction with his flirtatiousness, especially with his crazy birth of an illegitimate child.

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

Han Guo also has a half-breed son coming out, and the two Australian goddesses raised in Los Angeles are also pregnant.

I don't know how many more there will be.

Little Laura is only 18, and there are still 2 to 3 years before the marriage age agreed by both parties.

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

His illegitimate children may be more than a football team.

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

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

The relationship between Bush and Smith has no possibility of tearing up.

The tear is too costly, for both parties.

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

It is of course a better way to let little Laura and herself give birth to a child with both bush 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, it is best for the two to get married now.

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

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

After all the final considerations, there is Herbert's current temptation.

"Okay. I miss her a little too."

In this regard, Abel smiled and answered the old man softly.

If you want to give birth, give birth, give birth to ten or eight TMs.
