America's Road to Wealth

[...China has been one of the few powerful countries in the world since ancient times. In fact, until the Qianlong period, China was at the peak of the world. Although in the 19th and 20th centuries, China's national strength was weakened due to various reasons. But now in the 21st century, China has returned to the center of the world. Recently, even American Wall Street figure Abe Smith praised China in an interview, saying that the 19th century was the century of Britain, the 20th century was the century of the United States, and the 21st century was the century of China...]

Compared with the self-confidence of the new generation more than ten years later, people in the 60s, 70s and even 80s do have certain superstitions about lighthouses.

The idea of ​​going back and taking a look at the place where I once grew up has always been very strong.

And as a big capitalist with the ability of "prophet", Abel is very aware of China's super potential in the future.

Just watch, it won't be long. At most ten years or so, there will be a bunch of European and American tycoons trying to reach out there.

Especially the oil people, after they discovered the reality of the weakening of the United States. It is really planned, and has always planned to transplant to China, in an attempt to replicate their successful plan of transferring from Europe to the United States.

It's just that compared to the United States back then, it is obviously very difficult to do this in the East.

One is that there are huge differences in culture. No matter how you say it, oil people have a white skin. Although they were discriminated against in the United States back then, their white skin status was still helpful to them.

In terms of skin color and culture, they are different from the East. What's more, the Chinese government is different from the American government back then...

The efforts of the oilmen cannot be said to be in vain, but it is absolutely impossible to achieve the success of the transplantation to the United States.

In addition to oilmen, many European and American giants related to industry have actually been developing in China. Who told that at that time, the United States successfully completed the transformation from the real to the virtual. Once the world's largest industrial power, it has become a financial hegemon based on finance and service industries. What can entrepreneurs who are engaged in business or who cannot transform themselves do? They can only go to places with better infrastructure and more hard-working workers.

So even if you don't consider the thoughts of half of Huaxia's soul in his body, even if he is a big capitalist, he should get close to Huaxia out of consideration of reality and interests.

After all, he is not a real guest, so he doesn't have to act stupid for votes like a regular guest.

The most important point is that the shrub family has always had a good relationship with Huaxia. Herbert was an envoy of the United States over there back then, and the two small shrubs also did business in China.

The second child doesn't want to be killed or disabled, the only way is to try his best to become the boss.

This is the law of this world, and no one can avoid it.

Well, that's for the country. As far as the capital is concerned, whoever can make them make money will do. Abel did not directly refuse, but will consider the response there. If possible, they will probably visit at the end of this year.

The response to receiving the news was quick, saying that he would be warmly welcomed and that he would make relevant preparations in advance. His friendly attitude made Abel feel ashamed, but he really has no plans to go to Huaxia in the near future.

One is that things in the United States have reached a critical moment. He has to go back to Washington. A large-scale interest negotiation that is far more tense than last year's regular meeting of the Federal Reserve is underway. He has to go back to the center of the empire.

The second is little Laura, the big wife, who is almost on her due date. She was also a little later than Annie and Jessica, and after those two were born, she probably was about to give birth.

Other women are now having babies, and Abel can choose not to be there. But if little Laura gave birth, he had to be there in person, no matter it was out of emotional or practical interests.

On June 20th.

When Olivier Smith was two months old and Amber Smith was four months old, it was safe to fly intercontinentally.

At Melbourne International Airport, a Boeing 747-vip wide-body superjumbo plane took off, and it will go directly to Los Angeles.

After about 16 hours of flight, when the plane arrived at Los Angeles International Airport, it was already midnight in Los Angeles.

Fortunately, it is a private jet, so you can adjust the time difference directly on the plane. The two children don't need to adjust. They are already at this age, day and night, and they mainly sleep.

The bodyguard leads the way, the assistant follows, and the maid and housekeeper follow behind to take care of the baby.

It happened that the road inside the tarmac of Los Angeles International Airport was being repaired, and vehicles could not pass through. So this time when I leave the airport, I can only take the business VIP channel.

Abel brought two Tu-Australian goddesses, and when the group walked out of the business corridor in a mighty manner, they saw many reporters and crowds looking at them not far away.

It's so late, why are there so many people? Abel couldn't help frowning, and looked at Edward next to him.

Edward naturally knew what it meant, and he immediately said softly, "It's a crazy fan of MJ. He will hold 11 concerts on the West Coast in July this year. The first concert will be held in Los Angeles. He will arrive tonight. The paparazzi and fans who received the news came to intercept it in advance. But BOSS, we have made arrangements, please rest assured."

Only then did Abel nodded slightly, and glanced at those people again.

Sure enough, they were quickly driven away by the airport security, and there were rock security guards watching in case someone took out a camera or other dangerous things.

Some people inside were cursing, but soon someone went up to give them a look.

Within minutes, they were all silent.

Abel ignored them. Surrounded by the bodyguards, he took the women and children with him, left the airport and boarded the convoy, headed for Beverly Hills.

"...it seems to be Abel Smith. He is the only one who can make the security at the Los Angeles Airport beat people for his privacy."

"I noticed that there seemed to be two women next to him, like Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman?"

"More than that! The people behind who look like assistants are pushing two strollers! Could it be that there are two babies? Whose children are they?"

"Tsk tsk...I advise you not to think or talk nonsense. Let's not talk about whether it can be reported. If it is really going to be reported successfully, it will really be...hehe..."

"..."

The paparazzi reporters who intercepted MJ really didn't dare to shoot with cameras. But these people have sharp eyes and noses, and they are professionals in this field.

Just looking at it from a distance like this, many people here have guessed something inside.

But... guess what? That man is no ordinary tycoon or giant crocodile, he is one of the masters of the empire.

The paparazzi reporters, perhaps with the support of the boss behind them, dare to report the gossip about those giant crocodiles and tycoons.

When it comes to financial groups and chaebols, unless there is direct support from a hostile financial group, the masters of the empire will fight directly within themselves.

Otherwise, whoever touches such a slide will die! Those who can be paparazzi are not fools, and they all know this.

It’s okay to brag and talk nonsense in private, but if you really want them to film and report, you’d have no guts.

The night was very dark, and most people were asleep, but the lights of Los Angeles were still bustling and noisy. The neon lights light up the luxury of the city, but also cover up the brilliance of the stars and the moon, throwing changing colors into the sky wantonly.

On the winding mountain road in Beverly Hills, the luxurious mansions are all lit up. Under the illumination of the lights, the originally dark forest has become a scenery that can be overlooked from a distance.

When it comes to wasting energy, Americans say it is second, but no one in the world dares to say it is number one, not even number three.

The air conditioners and lights of office buildings are turned on 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, except when they are damaged. This is the norm in the United States.

Therefore, the urban night scenes in the United States are far more prosperous than those in other countries, because Yankees are really very wasteful.

A very ironic fact - the World Green Environmental Protection and Energy Conservation Conference, almost all the guests who came to the conference came by private jets with exaggerated energy consumption.

Members of Parliament who call on the public to save energy and protect the environment. The luxury villa in their family is just a constant temperature swimming pool that needs electricity and water for a year, which is almost equivalent to the annual consumption of 30 ordinary American families...

In Europe and the United States, more than 95% of environmental protection is a business. Too many people live off it.

And when Abel returned to the Spanish-style Beverly Hills estate at midnight with Nicole, Kate and the kids.

In central Asia, thousands of miles away from Los Angeles, there are also Americans working hard for the collection of the Smith family.

Central Asia, Afghanistan.

In front of the coalition military airport checkpoint, Felix Wilkenhuisen, the head of the American PMC company "Black Rock", accompanied by a US military lieutenant colonel, drove a long convoy of trucks to the checkpoint the door.

The convoy is a bit long, with a total of more than a dozen large trucks. The US military team leader at the checkpoint did not dare to slack off, and after checking the wireless communication signal, he came over to check in person.

The window of the Humvee at the front of the convoy was rolled down, and the squad leader recognized the U.S. lieutenant colonel sitting in the passenger seat, who happened to be his immediate superior, who was mainly responsible for security patrols and security at the military airport.

I saw Mr. Lieutenant Colonel smiling and took out several boxes of cigars and some heavy small things, and handed them to the American squad leader and his soldiers who came to check.

"Okay, no need to check, let them in."

The team leader wearing sunglasses was stunned, and looked down. The cigars were okay, top-notch Cuban cigars. It's expensive, but they can afford it if they want to smoke.

But those heavy little things, Faxet's, they look like little gold bars. The weight is not very heavy, but that Xuete is gold!

Such a small one costs at least a few thousand dollars, right?

At this moment, the team leader felt in his heart that even if there were kidnapped American leaders in the convoy, he would let them go.

In case Mr. Datong struggled to escape, he felt that he might go up and help push Mr. Datong inside...

The team leader smiled excitedly, nodded and saluted, and motioned to the soldiers at the checkpoint. A convoy of fifteen vehicles, including three Humvees, and twelve sealed van trucks drove into the airport.

In the airport.

A gigantic C-5 cargo plane, with its huge jaws open, is waiting for its cargo to be loaded.

This thing is exaggerated, with a length of 75.31 meters, a wingspan of 67.89 meters, a fuselage height of 19.84 meters, a flight speed of Mach 0.79, a maximum cargo range of 4260km, and a normal cargo range of 8900km.

The cargo capacity is also exaggerated. It can carry 6 Apaches at a time, or 10 light armored vehicles over 10 tons, or 2 M1 tanks with 67 tons, or even an A-10 attack aircraft. Remove the wings and empennage first.

If it is just for cargo, it can carry 122 tons of cargo, which is divided into upper and lower storage cabins. It is currently the third largest aircraft in the world.

In front of it, the only transport aircraft currently in service are the more powerful Maozi An-225 and An-124.

Now, this C-5 is about to return to the United States. The name is to go to the Fort Worth-Dallas Airport in Texas to bring new supplies to Afghanistan for the use of the coalition forces-mainly various meat products from Texas, and there may even be live sheep and live cattle .

That's right, the military supplies of the US military are so luxurious. The meat to be eaten has to be shipped from China, so... that's why this battle lasted for more than ten years.

In such a lucrative battle, who would be willing to win quickly?

On the surface, it is going back to transport military supplies, but in fact...

"Move carefully! Be light, these things won't fall!"

The person in charge of Blackstone PMC, Felix Wilkenhuisen, stood on the rear hatch of the transport plane, and repeatedly instructed his staff who were moving up the wooden boxes.

"It's really a big deal. I feel sorry for those little gold bars just now! A bar costs at least six or seven thousand dollars, right?" The lieutenant colonel just now came from a distance, holding a folder in his hand.

"The customs declaration has been passed. There are 65 boxes of Afghani "handicrafts". Dear Felix, I have completed the task."

"Hahaha..." Felix Wilkenhuissen laughed loudly, took a look at the customs declaration form, and signed his name with a few strokes. He looked back at the soldiers who were carefully fixing the boxes, and then said The middle school said:

"David, what are your thoughts? You must know that you are also a Texan. If you want to, you can be promoted more easily than us out-of-state people."

The lieutenant colonel gritted his teeth slightly, obviously still struggling in his heart. The main reason is that he is still relatively young. It seems a pity that he chose to leave the US military to play revolving doors at this time.

But the conditions for the black rock to come out are too good.

Our gentleman from Texas is really super generous.

The middle school is just doing a little "small favor" this time. His son who is still in high school in the United States has already received admission letters from Rice University and Harvard University.

With the two signatures on the recommendation letter, no matter how poor his grades are, his son can still choose one of the two schools to go to school.

In the investment account under his wife's name, he made a profit of more than 5 million US dollars in the stock market not long ago.

Now, a bigger temptation lay before him. Retired, joined Black Rock, and led the team to Lakey. As for the reward, obviously it will only be more generous than this small favor.

"I...I still need to talk to my wife. Sorry, Felix, give me another two days." Finally, the lieutenant colonel replied.

Felix Wilkenhuisen didn't force it either, and nodded with a smile in agreement.

Felix also knew that this middle school colonel had excellent abilities, and graduated from the West Point Military Academy. He was excellent in all aspects and had a strong professional quality.

But the most important reason for him to climb this position at such a young age is still a good position. And his wife is a Washington native, and his father-in-law works in five corners and has three stars on his shoulder.

Rather than asking his wife, he would have to contact his father-in-law to see if he could work for Black Rock.

After all, it wasn't his ability that Black Rock was looking for. What Heishi valued more was Mr. Colonel's father-in-law with three stars on his shoulder.

Mr. Middle School himself, the greater role is to serve as a bridge.
