America's Road to Wealth

"...Why did I leave the United States at this critical time? Hahaha, George, I think it's good for everyone that I walk away at this time. Didn't you see that even the regular meeting of the Federal Reserve was postponed for a week? Said to come It was officially held on the 12th. I think even if you don't know the reason for this, someone will tell you!"

Melbourne.

Maroubra Highway 112 at the southwest end, in a mansion close to the coastline.

Abel was wearing a casual shirt, holding a satellite phone, looking at the turbulent Pacific Ocean in the distance, laughing softly and talking to the titular planet's most powerful man.

"Okay, okay, I understand what you mean. What you mean is to let me be more cautious. But George, in fact, judging from the current state, it is good for everyone that I leave temporarily."

"They will calm down and have a greater communication of interests. At that time, no matter those Cleveland people or DuPont, they will make a calmer judgment. I believe that as long as they are not stupid, they will eventually choose me."

"Hmmm... I know I know, safety is my top priority. If I'm not from Texas, if I'm not on good terms with Californians. If you're not the owner of the white house, then I will definitely only shrink In New York or Texas!"

"That's it, I'll be back soon."

After a while, he hung up the phone.

When Ikana began to "tandem" in private, planning to be the first diplomat among Smith's women.

Abel is no longer in Los Angeles. He came to Australia, which is located at the southern end of the Pacific Ocean, and is now in Melbourne, Australia's second largest city.

In addition to being the second largest city in Australia, Melbourne is also the capital of the state of Victoria, Australia, a world-famous tourist city, and has been rated as the most livable city in the world for many years, and a world-famous international metropolis.

Because it is located in the southern hemisphere, June is winter in Australia, and the temperature is generally low. In the southern and southeastern regions of Australia such as Sydney and Melbourne, the temperature is generally between 10°C and 20°C. The lower temperature is completely opposite to the climate in June in other places in the northern hemisphere.

Fortunately, even if it is a bit cold, it will not snow. At most, it will be colder when it rains, which is still very good.

As for him at this time, he left Los Angeles and came to Australia. It was announced to the public that they came here for tourism and some business activities.

Secretly, he told people that his child was born here.

In fact, the main reason he chose to leave was to temporarily avoid the prelude to the huge storm he caused among the American consortia.

Don't look at when Abel approached the Cleveland Consortium and DuPont, the conversation with them was very calm.

But in the eyes of others, this kind of dialogue is no less than dropping a foreign egg in the United States.

It was almost the clarion call of a big war, and several powerful consortiums became active almost instantly, and various series and private negotiations of interests almost did not stop for a moment.

The Fed's regular meeting, which was originally scheduled to be held in Los Angeles, was postponed for a week.

It may even be cancelled, and then it will be held in Washington.

Because in a sense, what Abe is doing this time is much more important than the voting rights of the Federal Reserve last time.

The voting power of the Federal Reserve is, in fact, a concrete manifestation of the internal strength of the empire.

You are strong enough, even if you didn't even have any voting rights in the Federal Reserve, the people inside will pull you in.

If you are not strong enough, like DuPont or the Cleveland consortium, their votes in the Fed will also be challenged.

Hmm...it has a little taste of Wuchang.

It can be said that the Federal Reserve is the five permanent members of the United States. The Fed exists not because it is the Fed. It's because of the bankers and consortia that make it up.

Compared with this time, the decision of the Fed's voting rights last time was slightly inferior.

What was decided this time was the possible fusion between the consortia. Once it happens, no matter what the outcome is, it will change the balance of power between the entire American consortium and the plutocrats.

After that, the Fed may have to reshuffle the cards again.

The chaebol giants naturally attached great importance to this, and wave after wave of people came to the door of Cleveland and DuPont.

There are also many people who come to Abel, and there are countless people in Washington who want him to be more drastic or cancel this idea.

The former are people who are close to him, or those who can benefit from his actions.

Some of the latter are people from other consortiums, and some are neutrals who don't want the United States to make waves.

In short, there are all ingredients. And Abel accepted the advice of the think tank and Herbert, and chose to leave Los Angeles temporarily.

He came to Australia by chance, and just happened to come here to visit his two illegitimate children.

Yes, two. Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman gave birth in April.

At the end of last year, without knowing what to think, they chose to leave the United States and return to Australia to give birth.

Abel didn't care about it, so they went back here.

Because it is too far away, and after all, it is different from before. Now Abel has a lot of children, and the extra two don't take it as seriously as before.

Until now, Blanchett's child is three months old, and Nicole's child is also one month old.

He just saw them, two American-Australian baby boys.

The villa he is in at the moment is one of Nicole and Kate's residences here.

The luxury houses invested by New Start Real Estate Company are not limited to the United States. In Europe, Asia, Australia, those slightly bigger and well-known cities all have investment from New Start Real Estate Company.

On the Australian side, major cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Perth, and Canberra all have Abel's mansions.

Among Abel's women, they are currently the only two Australians. Naturally, they can choose all these houses, and they can live wherever they want.

Like the current house, it is built on a rocky platform by the sea about 20 meters high. It is a super luxurious seaside house.

From the perspective of more and more local Chinese, it is a good feng shui to sit on the mountain and look at the sea.

Northeast-facing, 180-degree unbounded sea view, glistening white sandy beach, prime location, high above while enjoying enough privacy and security, at the same time, you can sit and watch the bustling scenery of crowds of people during holidays.

Just as he handed over the satellite phone to David next to him, Abel heard footsteps behind him. He turned his head and saw Kate wearing a beautiful bohemian dress, walking towards him.

The fiery red color of the long skirt looked dazzling, the skirt was layered with hollow patterns, and the gorgeous and delicate tassels fluttered around her ankles.

Even though the temperature outside is only around ten degrees, it's a bit chilly today.

But in the warm room, she still has an outstanding temperament dressed like this.

"Ah~ came out? Little Amber fell asleep, right?" Abel waved lazily, and Kate snuggled in and sat beside him, listening to him ask like this.

Amber Smith, this is the name of Cate Blanchett's son.

The name begins with A, the tradition of the Smith family.

Nicole Kidman's younger child is named Olivier Smith. Both are two male names of the Angsa family that are more common in Australia.

"Yes, he won't sleep until he's full."

"Uh... Then I guess I don't have to drink."

Kate patted him slightly warmly.

I don’t know why, although Kate’s baby food warehouse is not particularly big, it still has a little more than a B+.

But in terms of the output of baby food, the output is really not high. Not to mention feeding the child to his father, even the child is not enough to eat by himself.

Poor little Amber, from the moment he was born until now, he ate more of female nai powder, which made Kate feel a little depressed.

Abel was joking about it again now, so she was naturally a little upset.

And looking at her who looks more handsome after giving birth, she is tired of Abel, who has big, wavy blonde hair in the United States recently, and wants to change her taste. After counting the time, Amber Smith has been more than three months old, and his mother can start to have a younger brother or younger sister for him.

So, according to Abel's request, when Nicole, who had just finished confinement, finished the baby and came out of the room.

I saw the two people already entangled in the living room.

The Tuao big white sheep is a little jealous, and wants to join it.

But she knew that someone took physical health very seriously.

It is impossible to eat her at this time, even if she wants to join, she won't. Out of sight, out of sight, Nicole could only choose to go back to the room and sleep with the child in her arms.

Of course, when Abel came to Australia this time, besides avoiding those old men, he didn't just come here to play with the two Tu-Australian goddesses, Baoma.

He may have been a little loose in the past. But after reaching my current status and status, I also began to feel uncomfortable if I didn't work for a day.

So in Tu'ao, on the third day after he arrived, he began to contribute to the growth of Smith Agricultural Group.

He came to the border of Queensland and South Australia.

After arriving at the destination.

Abel got off the car and looked far into the distance. Under the blue sky, there was an endless grassy slope. There were high and low light-colored fences scattered in the grass, and there were leisurely grazing cattle and sheep walking among the scattered red houses. Among them, it is like a picture scroll that is completely natural.

It was a ranch called Cadleston Ranch.

The office and living areas of the ranch are at the foot of a hill, and they are all bungalows, which look brand new. To put it bluntly, this ranch has not been around for a long time.

The scale is still very large, like a relatively large village.

"Boss, this is the Cadleston Ranch. It is the second largest ranch in Australia and the fourth largest in the world! It has a total area of ​​20,000 square kilometers and is mainly engaged in the production and breeding of beef cattle. The grassland here is vast and rich in resources, so every year It also attracts a large number of tourists to visit and go sightseeing.”

Abel's chief think tank pointed to the large building complex that looked like a small town in the distance, "There are hotels, various shops and even supermarkets in it. They mainly provide various Services and merchandise. Also one of the main sources of income for Cadleston Ranch."

Abel nodded, looking far away, he felt that the sky was vast, the green grass was blowing gently and the grass was blowing, and the cattle and sheep were low.

It's just a little bit colder. After all, it's winter in Australia, but the grass isn't too withered and yellow. This place in Tu'ao is really blessed with grazing.

"Buy it, and it will become Smith Agriculture, one of the largest producers of beef cattle and wool!"

Abel made a decision directly, and Alan next to him didn't ask any questions. He nodded and wrote it down in his notebook.

In fact, if you raise cattle or sheep, you can do it in the United States, and the land is not expensive. And there is a more complete agricultural and feed system to support it, not much worse than Australia.

But Abel chose to buy this place and start large-scale farming. His purpose was actually to see a few years later.

In my impression, there will be a long period of time in China in a few years, when the import of beef from the United States will be banned.

The clenbuterol banned in China is legal in the United States... There are also various other veterinary drugs, and the standards in the United States far exceed those in China and Europe.

So why is American beef so cheap? Because in addition to the suitable environment, the cost of breeding is indeed relatively low, and Americans can legally use various technologies to work hard in breeding.

With the entire breeding environment in the United States like this, it’s not impossible for you to do something special, but the cost will be inferior to others, so you can only go in the direction of high-end or special supply.

Abel's approach to this is - the United States raises food for Americans to eat, and the food used for export must abide by other people's rules.

Tuao is very suitable here, the key is that the place is large and cheap. Like this Cadleston ranch, with an area of ​​20,000 square kilometers, it is already equivalent to the size of Belgium.

But it only takes less than 800 million Australian dollars to win.

The exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar is about 1.5 Australian dollars to one US dollar.

Less than 800 million Australian dollars is about 520 million U.S. dollars, but you can buy 20,000 square kilometers of land... It can only be said that the land price in Tuao is really cheap.

But in fact, there are cheaper ones. There is an Anxi cattle farm in Australia that is bigger than the Cadleston Ranch. It has an area of ​​more than 23,600 square kilometers, but the price is only half of the Cadleston Ranch!

If Anxi Cattle Farm were a country, it would rank 153rd among countries in the world!

The place is so big that if the patrolmen are allowed to patrol on horseback, it will take about a week on average, and it will take nearly a month if they carefully inspect the surrounding area.

With Abel's personality like big is beautiful and expensive is good, he should have bought the Anxi Cattle Farm.

However, apart from being big, there are almost no advantages in that place. First of all, water resources are insufficient, grassland is scarce, and most places are desert environments. It is difficult for people to stay, let alone raising cattle and sheep.

Such a large cattle farm can only raise less than 20,000 cattle at most. When the weather is bad and water is scarce, you can only raise more than 1,000 heads...

So Abel gave it up directly and chose the more valuable Cadleston Ranch.

Abel hadn't been at Cadleston Ranch for long, he just came to see. After seeing it, someone under him will naturally communicate with the other party and then make a purchase.

If the other party refused, the subordinates would not notify Abel. They will try every means to get what Abel wants directly.

Unless it is really impossible to complete the task, the only thing waiting for Abel is the complete surname Smith of Cadleston Ranch.

The same is true in other industries.

For him now, he no longer needs to do it himself in many businesses, he just needs to point out the direction.

In the evening, he returned to Melbourne.

Wow--

When I just came back, I didn't see the two goddesses of Tuao and the children. Because of running for a day, Abel chose to take a bath first.

He turned off the shower, tied the towel around his waist, and walked out of the bathroom while wiping the water droplets off his body.

In the bedroom, Abel had just asked the maid to wipe his body clean, and before he got dressed, the door was opened.

Walking in was Nicole Kidman, who quickly regained her shape after giving birth, and was as beautiful and charming as ever.

And it is different from Kate after giving birth, because she has become a little smaller because she has no daughter.

She is actually two cups bigger in this respect, but it's a bit fancy and not useful. Big enough, but the output is only enough for Olivier to eat alone.

"Hi, honey is back!"

"Yeah." Abel smiled and stepped forward, grabbing the incense she offered.

She was out of breath when she let go after a few minutes.

Abel hugged her and was about to go out to defeat Kate when he heard Nicole say mysteriously: "Let's go, honey. You're not here all day, and Kate and I have prepared a surprise for you!"

"Surprise?" Abel raised his eyebrows, "What surprise?"

"Well... it can be regarded as a gift. Some local products from Australia, yes, local products from Australia!!" Nicole giggled and pulled him outside.

In the living room, Abel saw that Kate was also there. At the same time, there were three large gift boxes in the living room. The gift boxes were all beautifully dressed, all in red, and there were even big bows tied on them with very wide and beautiful colorful gift ribbons.

"Is this the surprise prepared for me? What kind of gift? Australian native? It can't be a kangaroo or a koala, right?"

Abel hugged the Tuao big white sheep, walked to the gift boxes with a little curiosity, tapped lightly, and found that it was made of paper and not very strong.

The first thing to rule out is the kangaroo, unless it is tied up or anesthetized. Otherwise such a big cardboard box can't hold them.

Lightning koalas are somewhat possible. They are slow and seem to be able to hide in.

"Yes~ choose one to open, or open all of them! I believe, you will be very satisfied! This is our Australian souvenir dedicated to you!"

Nicole smiled coquettishly.

Abel looked at Kate, her eyes were a little strange, but she still said the same as Nicole: "Open it, this is a gift we prepared for you. Like, just like Nicole said, um, souvenirs..."

In fact, at this time, Abel's hearing and perception far surpassed that of normal people, and he has already heard the subtle breathing sound inside the gift box, as well as the very slight sound of salsa rubbing.

There is definitely a living thing inside, judging by the size of the box, it is likely to be a relatively petite person or animal.

And if these gifts of theirs want to come in, they must also pass the inspection of the rock security.

Being able to pass the inspection means that there is no risk.

So Abel guessed that it was either a human or a larger and harmless animal.

And he is not a kind little animal protection, so he thinks there must be people inside.

Tear--

He had already opened the box in the middle, tore off the ribbon, and opened the lid. Inside lay a little girl wearing a white Lolita skirt with a bright red face and a shy expression.

In the hand of this beautiful girl, she is also holding a small sign, which reads in English: Abby Lee Korsha.

Probably her name. In addition, there are two cardboard boxes of the same size beside it.
