America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 491 There’s a fire in the backyard

Buffett, Soros, PNC Financial Group, Bloomberg, these people and forces are all Abel's earliest allies.

Especially Buffett. The stock god was the first person to invest in Smith Capital, and he was also one of Abel's close friends.

But Abel has always known that these so-called allies and good friends are often unreliable.

In the face of interests, or in the face of life and death difficulties.

If they want them to betray themselves, they will never hesitate.

Just like Abel would not hesitate to betray them when necessary.

Everyone is the same, no one can blame anyone.

It's not just these people, even Smith's Iron Alliance Shrub family is the same now.

When there is a life or death moment, or when there is a huge benefit.

Abel believed that whether it was George or Herbert or even Neil.

Whatever they would choose, Abel would not have any extravagant hopes.

The higher people and families climb to the top, the more ruthless they become.

A lover cannot be a ruler, and a lover cannot be a superior.

The ancestors of China have long concluded that the so-called kindness does not control soldiers, justice does not control wealth, this is the summary of this.

Just like Ikana, in parallel time and space, it was when Abel was about to be reborn.

In the face of interests, she betrayed her father without hesitation.

Abel has always been very clear about this.

The reason why Abel compromised with Morgan and Rockefeller so quickly.

There is a concern that when he confronts Morgan and the others, these former allies will turn around and stab him in the back.

This is very likely to happen.

Abel's talent is only in the financial field, and he is not omnipotent.

If he really has a system or something, then he will definitely create a country that he is satisfied with in the United States.

His eyes were pointed directly at the stars and the sea, not like now. The only option is to blend in and tangle with these maggots.

Just like now, he had a conflict with Morgan and the others on the surface, and it even got serious enough to lead to a fight.

This is a very serious matter in the eyes of many people who do not know the truth.

Even in the eyes of many people, it is time for them to take sides.

It’s time to choose Smith or Morgan.

Leaving McDonald's and heading back to 599 Water Street, DC.

In the Cadillac Monster compartment, Abel was horrified.

He thought of something.

This incident made him feel that he really couldn't take the risk.

After thinking about it, he spoke directly to David in the passenger seat in front of him and said softly:

"Inform Smith Media and announce the latest news from Smith Financial Group."

David was stunned because his boss had said before that he couldn't announce it until the time was right.

Now I don’t know if it’s ahead of schedule or if the right time has arrived.

But since the boss had made his decision, David naturally nodded lightly.

"No problem, BOSS, I'll notify you right away."

David picked up the satellite phone directly in front of Abel and started communicating with Smith Media.

As for Smith Media, it was just about time that rotating CEO Michael Levine came to power.

Starting from this month to April next year.

Michael Levine will remain CEO of Smith Media. The original Robert Iger continues to serve as CEO of his MGM Film Group and one of the presidents of the group company.

Can the system of rotating CEOs be continued normally and be effective?

Now it depends on whether Michael can continue Robert's previous rapid development trend after taking office.

Off topic - Smith Media's rotation system is now attracting the attention of major American companies and even many think tanks.

If Smith Media's system works, then this rotating CEO system is likely to be adopted by many companies for trial.

After watching David finish the phone call, Abel, who had been thinking a lot just now, relaxed a little.

He closed his eyes and fell asleep for more than ten minutes.

The convoy has returned to the area near 599 Water Street in DC.

In terms of time, it was already approaching noon.

Before he was about to get off the bus at the door, he received a notice.

Little Laura is coming to Washington.

According to the plan, she was supposed to wait until Abel was done with things in Washington before going back to New York.

At that time, the two of them would choose to work on Smith and Shrub's human-creation project in New York or back to Texas.

She came over there in advance now, obviously for a reason.

There was a fire in the backyard.

This is how the world is, if some people are proud, others will naturally be disappointed.

Keira Wilson, who has been so proud these past two days, attracted much attention at the banquet she attended in Washington.

Her confident and elegant temperament, beautiful face, devilish figure and elegant style have become the focus of people's discussion.

The California media, which has always been fond of bragging about its own family and belittling New Yorkers, naturally pursues its own socialites even more.

Titles such as "Princess of San Francisco" were attached to her, making her unique and unparalleled.

Therefore, when little Laura, who was busy studying at the New York University campus in Manhattan, New York, saw these reports in the newspaper, she was already very unhappy.

When she found out through some channels that her man had actually picked this "wild flower", she became even more unhappy, completely exploding the resentment she had accumulated in her heart.

This is actually easy to understand.

She could tolerate socialites such as Ikana and Paris because little Laura felt that there was absolutely no way they could take away her status as the main palace member.

Whether it was family power, her origins as a Texan, or her confirmed engagement, little Laura stood tall and secure in front of them.

In the past, only Peggy from the East Coast wealthy Morgenso family could make her feel a little threatened.

Little Laura also knew that Abel and Peggy might have some invisible ambiguities, but generally they were very clean and pure.

And now, there's Keira Wilson.

First of all, Kayla's Wilson family's status in California or the West Coast is even stronger than Shrub's status in Texas.

Wilson served as a great leader and many governors of California. In this respect, Wilson is on par with the Bushes. However, in terms of economy, as one of the leaders of the California consortium, Wilson is far stronger than the Texas Bushes.

The key is that the California consortium and the Texas consortium have the possibility of cooperation.

At this time, Keira's status and importance were elevated again.

In other words, Keira has the possibility of challenging her backyard status in every aspect.

She could tolerate it in other aspects, but little Laura couldn't tolerate it in this aspect.

Then she came to kill him.

It takes less than two hours to fly from New York to Washington, DC.

After receiving the news, Abel walked past the door of 599 Water Street in DC without entering.

Sitting in the luxurious office carriage, Abel rubbed the Jinming point on the bridge of his nose helplessly.

Women's intuition is very sensitive, or it can be said that only those of the same kind understand the same kind.

Keira has thoughts of replacing little Laura, and little Laura can also feel threatened by her. No, they have all come to face the challenge.

Buzzing…

Abel took out his vibrating cell phone from his pocket, glanced at Laixian, and had a wry smile on his face.

"Hey, honey. Are you on the plane yet?"

"Okay. Then I'll wait for you in Washington. Actually, you don't have to come. You have to believe me. You are my true love and the woman I value most."

"Okay, okay. I know you're not here for her, you just miss me too much. Then come, um..."

"But I may not be able to pick you up. I have to meet with Morgan and the others in the afternoon. It's very stormy outside, and I need to calm them down."

"Okay, okay, I know. I won't let myself get too tired. I love you..."

Abel hung up the phone, played with his cell phone in his hand, squinted his eyes slightly, looked at the slightly gray sky in Washington, and murmured softly: "Mudd, is this kind of bad thing going to finally happen to me... …”

Edward and David, who were drivers in front, both heard the boss's soft voice.

Edward couldn't understand because his boss spoke standard Chinese.

Edward, an old beauty, couldn't understand.

David understood.

Mr. Butler actually didn't understand Chinese at first, but because Chinese was the only foreign language his boss knew, David secretly learned it himself and studied very hard.

Now he can understand most of what the boss says.

It’s useless even if you understand it, because obviously even the boss himself can’t handle this kind of thing.

David is a butler, so of course he can't handle it.

Then you can only pretend that you don’t know, or you didn’t hear it, or you didn’t understand it.

At about five o'clock in the afternoon, the black Cadillac Monster left one of Morgan's strongholds in Washington.

Looking out the window, Abel's motorcade was leaving.

John Chris Morgan turned to the old Rockefeller next to him and chuckled:

"This kid is still very sharp. I don't know if Herbert told him or he thought of it himself."

David smiled and said, "Maybe both. He is a very smart person to begin with. In addition to his financial talent, he is also a very cautious and self-aware person."

Just as Abel thought, this time Morgan and Rockefeller ostensibly reached cooperation with him, and everyone became their own.

Everyone seems happy. But in fact, they also set a trap for Abel, not too big or too small.

It was that fight at the Federal Advisory Committee.

People who know the inside story know that this is a drama between the two of them.

More people who don't know will think that it is a signal that Morgan, Rockefeller and Smith are completely at odds, and that a major turmoil is coming.

In order to protect themselves, this group of people may take sides without knowing the real inside story.

Side with Smith, or side with Morgan and the others.

Whether these people sided with Smith or Morgan, they later learned that the conflict was actually staged.

An embarrassing situation formed.

If you stand with Smith, you will be worried about attracting the resentment of Morgan and the others.

These people would blame Abel and Morgon for putting on a show to deceive them.

Let them not be human inside and out.

At this time, Morgen and the others were powerful, and they would only choose to be dissatisfied with Abel.

If these people choose to side with Morgan, it will alienate them from Smith. Even if they wanted to make amends afterwards, they would be worried that Smith would no longer trust them.

Generally speaking, it will not cause much harm to Abel, but it will plant a thorn in the hearts of his companions in Abel's camp.

And this kind of thorn is the most irritating thing for Abel, who has an unstable foundation and a weak foundation.

"Maybe there's that guy Buffett, too." John Cleese said softly:

"In the morning, that guy accompanied him to the Washington Post Building. This guy was very dissatisfied with us."

David nodded, "I know. Buffett seems to be very optimistic about this guy. Forget it, he has already discovered it, so it will have no effect."

"Um……"

While the two giants were having a conversation, Abel, who had just left them, was in the car.

At this moment, he also thought of what the two giants were thinking.

That's what Buffett said at McDonald's in the morning.

Buffett is probably not curious about the inside story at all.

But this old guy was telling himself very secretly about the sinister intentions of Morgan and Rockefeller in this matter.

Then...Abel couldn't help but think of Herbert again.

There's no reason why Buffett, a super old man, didn't think of things that Buffett could think of.

If Herbert thought about it and didn't tell himself...

Abel simply didn't dare to think about it anymore.

He felt that if he continued to think about it, no one in the world would be able to believe it.

Abel could only think silently in his heart: If the water is clear, there will be no fish; if the water is clear, there will be no fish; if the water is clear, there will be no fish...

"Made, I'm really not good at intrigues and intrigues."

Half an hour later.

2100 Dunmore NW, Washington, DC.

This high-end estate, located in the Phillips Park community adjacent to the Fox Hall neighborhood, is known for its rolling hills, mature trees and outstanding estates.

The motorcade drove into this high-end manor with 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, and Abel got off the car at the entrance of the main hall.

There were several people standing at the door, including Marcus, the Secret Service team leader who received two salaries, and Hannah Katherine, who had worked as a spy for Abel before.

Seeing Abel appear, Marcus quickly came up and said softly: "Boss, uh..."

Seeing this title spoken, Hannah and the other Secret Service agents next to her had strange eyes drifting over.

Marcus, who had already reached a revolving door deal with Rock Security, quickly changed his mind, but his attitude was as attentive as ever:

"Mr. Smith, Miss Bush looks a little unhappy."

Abel nodded to him, "Thanks, Marcus."

Patting the Secret Service team leader on the shoulder, Abel stepped into the main hall.

As soon as he entered, the expression on his face changed.

Abel shook his head and smiled bitterly, looking at the torn newspapers, the fragments of the mobile phone on the coffee table, the fallen pieces on the carpet, the suitcase on the sofa, and the TV with the sound turned up very loud, playing the ninth season of "Friends".

Led by a female bodyguard, Abel came to the door of the bedroom, opened the door and looked in. He found that only Simmons was in a mess, and no one saw little Laura.

The female bodyguard said there was no one outside, so only the bathroom was left.

Abel walked into the bedroom, first restored himself to his original state, and then tiptoed to the bathroom door.

Sure enough, I heard the sound of water coming from inside, which seemed to be the sound of water overflowing from the bathtub onto the floor.

"Dang, clang, clang!"

Abel opened the door suddenly, put on a dazzling debut pose with a smile on his face, and added some music in his mouth.

Wow!

Little Laura, who was completely immersed in the water, started up from the bottom of the water. Her pale golden hair clung to her body, water drops dripped from her haggard face, and her red eyes glared at Abel.

Such scenes are rare. Abel scratched the back of his head in embarrassment and said with a smile: "My dear, I'm here..."

Little Laura looked at that handsome face that she loved and hated, and all kinds of feelings came out.

brush!

Tears welled up in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks along with the water droplets on her face.

This was the first time Abel saw her crying. To be honest, Abel was a little panicked.

"Don't, don't be like this, my dear. Don't be like this, why are you crying? Don't be like this."

Abel stepped forward.

Little Laura didn't speak but cried.

She looked at Abel who was so close, ran over and knelt down, wiping the tears on her face with a distressed look on her face.

She made a splash and started splashing water, completely covering Abel's body.

When she finally calmed down her excitement, Abel continued to comfort her.

Little Laura told the story.

Little Laura's plane actually arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon.

After arriving, little Laura originally planned to come here directly.

This is Abel's other residence in Washington, and Abel has several such places here.

However, at the airport, she met Kayla Wilson.

Kayla Wilson came up to her and said many unpleasant things to her.

The two almost started fighting on the spot...

"She scolded me and said I was seducing you when I was so young! You know, I didn't do it at all! I just followed the arrangements of my family and my parents!"

"She's talking nonsense!"

"Okay, okay..." Abel comforted her.

Abel actually knew these things, and there were people arranged by him around Kayla and little Laura.

But Zhi Gui knew that the people he arranged did not dare to prevent these two from quarreling. At most, they could only prevent them from actually fighting.

This kind of thing actually makes no sense at all. In the final analysis, it was he, Abel Smith, who did the wrong thing.

That is to say, his status is too high now, and they, who are also super noble women, dare not make trouble with him even if they make trouble.

They chose to fight among themselves, and that's how they are now.

Abel didn't know what to do. He had no such experience.

It was always women who pleased him, even little Laura and Keira when they were alone.

Now if he was asked to please women, he really didn't know how to do it.

Then simply...

Seeing how little Laura’s mood has softened, he is so shameless.

At this time, my face has already been thrown into the Pacific Ocean.

He didn't speak or respond directly, he just laughed and got up from the floor and stepped into the bathtub.

"Go away... Oh, why did you come in? Let me go..."

"Hey, be good, you'll be fine in a moment..."

A few hours later, when Abel left the bedroom contentedly, little Laura didn't even want to move.

Looking at his back as he left happily, little Laura, who had pretended to be pitiful just a moment ago, showed a proud expression on her face.

"Hey... Keira Wilson! Even if you are prettier than me and your family background is not worse than mine, so what?"

"Being open-minded and easily satisfied is the number one reason why I occupy the most important position in his heart!"

Thinking happily like this, she drifted into sleep.

As night falls, the lanterns come on.

The night in Washington is not as colorful as New York.

But many times, as the capital of the empire, the concentration of intrigues here far exceeds that anywhere in the United States.

At this point, even the women began to like to quarrel...

As expected, I’m still not good at this kind of writing, and I won’t write this kind of romance in the future.
