America's Road to Wealth

Abel was also really convinced.

He knew that the Neon people would play this game, after all, the Han people had already set a good example.

But he didn't expect that the "gifts" Mitsui Toko prepared for him would be of such high quality and would suit his taste so well.

Yui Aragaki and Masami Nagasawa also secretly looked at Abel at this time. The real person is more elegant and handsome than those pictures on the Internet.

And the height is really tall, taller than many neon models.

Because it was close to Nara, it was already late at night. Although it was early summer, Abel still felt cool and comfortable standing by the hot spring. There were so many goddesses of feelings beside him, and he could do whatever he wanted with them.

This made him feel more comfortable.

The two countries in the world that like bathing most, one is Finland, the country of saunas, and the other is Neon, the country of hot springs.

People in these two countries love baths and saunas more than many people imagined. But anyone who has been to neon lights or watched some Japanese dramas will know that unless the house is really too poor and the house is too small, there will be a special bathtub.

And Neon people have a very unique habit of taking a bath, that is, the water in the bathtub is shared by the whole family. To put it simply, the water is put away and stored very early, changed every day, and the whole family uses this jar of water for bathing.

But in Neon, taking a bath and taking a bath are two concepts. If you often watch Neon love action dramas, you will know that the bathtub is for bathing. When taking a bath, you will apply shower gel on the outside Shampoo, wash and then continue to bathe.

I met some families with very large and traditional bathtubs, and even a family of two took a bath together.

There will be such a wonderful combination of mother and son, father and daughter, and some of them will have similar phenomena even after they become adults.

It's less common now, but it still exists. Some female artists even broke the news on TV programs later on. They are not actresses in romantic action movies, but serious actors and idol stars.

So Neon is also a weird country with the highest probability of something in the world, including many romantic action movies are also performed in this way. With their weird tradition, it is abnormal if nothing happens.

It is not the first time for Abel to go to the hot spring, but it is really the first time to go to such a Japanese-style hot spring in summer.

Mitsui Toko took the initiative to come over to undress him. The front was fine, but her face was a little reddish under the light, and her eyes could be seen shy and dodging.

Later, when she saw it clearly, she looked cute and shocked.

Nagasawa Masami and the others were not much better, and each of them showed a look of amazement.

Although it was late at night, the Mitsui family couldn't calm down for a long time in this other courtyard by the side of Nara Mountain in Osaka.

At this time, in the center of Osaka, which is far away from this other courtyard, there is a typical Japanese-style large flat floor.

The patriarch of the Mitsui family and a few prominent figures were already past 12 o'clock in the middle of the night, but they hadn't rested yet.

After learning from his younger brother Suki Mitsui, the American enjoyed the gift prepared for him by the Mitsui family.

The patriarch of the Mitsui family, Mitsui Takaki, nodded in satisfaction, and then looked at the important members of the Mitsui family in the room.

"...I think you all have read the plan that the Americans gave us. Do you have any ideas or suggestions? Everyone is here now. If you have any, please come up and talk about it."

Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds, and finally an old man with gray hair spoke first: "Master Patriarch, what's your opinion?"

The old man is actually the uncle of the two Mitsui brothers.

The Mitsui family has been multiplied for hundreds of years and has already had many children. The main line is in charge of the greatest power, but the branches and partial lines can also share part of the glory of the family.

Now that you have shared the glory, you have to pay the corresponding labor. The small organization formed by these people is the power exercising body of the Mitsui family, and it is also the main manpower of the leading general manager association "Nagikai" within the Mitsui consortium.

Hearing his uncle's words, Mitsui Takahiro smiled pretentiously: "I still need to know everyone's opinions so that I can make the right decision. The favorite sentence of Lord Gao Li is Confucius, the sage in China. "Threesomes must have my teacher", I think it is very reasonable."

It is not so easy to be the home of a wealthy consortium family like the Mitsui family that has lasted for hundreds of years and made a fortune for more than 200 years.

Not only must the blood be noble, but also be very good at internal struggle and intrigue, and the business ability must not be poor.

Mitsui Takaki, who has been the patriarch for more than ten years, is no longer the new and tender person he used to be.

He will never be the first to express his opinion, but wants others to speak first. Then judge the intentions of these people through observation, and finally make the final decision.

He more often plays the role of arbiter and decision maker.

Mitsui Suki said at this time: "The joint consortium is a very ambitious goal. If the Americans can really achieve it, it will be very beneficial to us."

"The question is can this American achieve it? He is now a target of public criticism within the United States itself. Are other rice animals willing to see him sit like this? No matter what, in reality we are not offended. If he can't bear it, he may be fine. We will provoke the wrath and even punishment of other rice animals."

Another uncle of the two Mitsui brothers, a white-haired old man spoke in a very angry voice.

Mitsui Suki was silent for a while, looking at the patriarch and elder brother.

"Not necessarily." The uncle who was the first to speak just now said: "The risk is directly proportional to the reward, if it is really achieved. Our harvest is also huge, and becoming an important part of a world-class consortium is very beneficial to the Mitsui family. Benefits. The idea that the ancestors have always wanted to go out may be realized in our hands."

"It's true to say so, but the risk is indeed too high." The white-haired old man just now continued: "We must think carefully before..."

Listening to the discussion between the elders of the family and the core staff, Mitsui Takaki remained silent, and even flipped through the plan that was placed in front of him not long ago.

In the proposal, American Abe Smith, who is a rice animal in the eyes of neon people, made a very bold proposal to the Mitsui family, a proposal of cooperation.

The plan shows that the Smith Consortium of the United States intends to invite the Mitsui Zaibatsu of the Mitsui family to join it. Together, they will form a huge world-class consortium that is divided into regions, conducts internal communication in the industry, and helps each other financially.

Its model is similar to that of the Neon consortium, the chaebol of Hanguo, and the Concern organizations in Europe and America, but it is more massive in scale and less closely cohesive with behemoths.

The proposal in this proposal is extremely bold, and Mitsui Takashi was deeply moved after reading the whole article. According to Mitsui Koki's understanding, if this can really be achieved, it will be a consortium version of the super G8 group!

I don't know if the plan is to increase persuasiveness, or it really sent so many invitations. It says that the invitations are not limited to the big chaebols of Neon.

Large consortiums and groups from China, Neon, the United Kingdom, France, and even Italy, Maoxiong, Canada and other countries will also receive invitations.

In addition, the Texas United Consortium in the United States is exactly the same as the real Group of Eight Industrial Countries, which is the consortium version of the G8.

At this moment, what Mitsui Takaki asked the core members of the family to discuss and debate was whether to accept Abel Smith's invitation.

What to do if you accept it, and how to reject it if you don’t accept it, so as to prevent Americans from resenting the Mitsui Zaibatsu.

Flipping through the plan, Mitsui Koki even felt a little emotional, because the future prospects described in it were too grand.

If it is really achieved in the future, it may be like what it says in it - [become the master behind the scenes of the world, the will of the consortium is the will of mankind].

Listening to the louder and louder debates in his ears, Mitsui Takaki knew that as the patriarch, it was time for him to appear on the stage.

He directly raised his hand, stopped the debate among the crowd, and said as an arbiter: "This kind of decision, whether it is to accept or reject, cannot be discussed in one night. This is the end of tonight, but for this We will make the following points in the plan.”

"First of all, we need to find out which other family in Nihong has received the same proposal as us. Is it really only Yanqi, Sumitomo and us? This is very important."

"Secondly, we have to disclose this plan to other rice animals and see their reactions. Maybe they will give us some benefits and prevent us from joining it. Of course, it may also be a threat, threatening us not to stand with Abel Smith together."

"Also, we need to simulate the feasibility of this to see if such a huge world-class joint consortium is really possible."

"Do these three points first, and then discuss whether we should join it."

Mitsui Takaki's summary of the arbitration speech is considered to have something to say, and his identity is there.

The core figures of the Mitsui family suddenly went "hey", and they temporarily reached a unified opinion on this matter.

It was late at night, and everyone gradually dispersed.

In the end, there were only two Mitsui brothers left in the room.

"Suki, how feasible do you think Abel Smith's bold idea is?"

"It's very difficult. It's feasible but it's not so easy to make it happen. But I think we can join it, because even if we don't join. Mihu has never thought of letting us go. Sony Entertainment has been bleeding for so long. We really need a backer in America."

Mitsui Suki spoke directly after combining reality.

Mitsui Takaki nodded lightly, just like his brother said, the Americans have always suppressed the Mitsui family.

The big fortunes in front of Neon are similar to those of Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, and Furong.

Although it is not like Han people, who were directly taken away by the Americans in the financial crisis and turned into a ruthless money-making machine on Wall Street, I can only get a little bit of hard work.

But over the years, almost every once in a while Wall Street will come to neon to cut it again. Several major chaebols and trading companies were targeted especially, and they couldn't escape it even if they wanted to.

Since the burst of the bubble era, the combined losses of several major chaebols may have reached hundreds of billions of dollars.

The average annual loss of the American Sony Entertainment of the Mitsui Zaibatsu is one billion US dollars.

If, as the plan says, after joining the joint consortium, they can get the protection of the organization, then they may be able to avoid the oppression of the Americans in this area in the future.

But is it really as beautiful as the plan said?

Whether it is Mitsui Suki or Mitsui Takaki, they feel very doubtful about this.

"That's it, go to rest first. We will discuss this matter after we find out the attitude of the Americans and the situation of other families."

Mitsui Takaki said softly, Mitsui Suki left happily, and the gathering of the Mitsui family will not end until this time.

On the other hand, Abel is comfortably under the service of Mitsui Toko, who is called the obedience and gentleness of a woman who has enjoyed all the neon lights.

The gentleness of the neon woman is unmatched by women in other places, even for a young lady like Mitsui Toko. When doing that, it was the first time, and she didn't have any airs of a young lady, and she even took the initiative to be Abel's assistant, causing Kitagawa Keiko, Aragaki Yui and the others to harm them.

The next day, Osaka, Mitsui Betsuin.

In the courtyard, in the soft sound of deer singing. Under the eaves, an exquisite ceramic bell drags five round beads, tinkling, leaves and wind, and bells, interweaving a gentle prelude poem.

One after another, the beautiful small flowers lightly render the exquisite leaf green, like white watercolors dyed on the colorful drawing paper, with exquisite patterns.

In early summer, cherry blossoms fall. In the summer morning, the sunlight is very dazzling, soft like finely divided golden powder, soaking in the huge world, the hot spring courtyard located on the hillside, covered by intertwined lush green leaves, the green leaves are dense and disorderly, those light The golden silk threads made of it are transmitted down and sprinkled on the tatami mats in mottled patterns.

The bright sunshine gives people a lazy and decadent feeling. At this time, it is most suitable to play "Summer Wind" by Jay Chou.

"call--"

Suddenly, Abel opened his eyes and exhaled, and looked down to see the fair, ruddy pretty face of Mitsui Toko who was curled up in his arms.

The noble daughter of Neon, who is like Yamato Nadeko, was donated for the future and future of the family, and was enjoyed by the big shots of the Neon Kingdom in a family-like way.

Hundreds of thousands of years ago, it was the Chinese celestial figures who could enjoy this kind of neon lady.

Now, hundreds of thousands of years later, it is he, an American, who enjoys this class of neon ladies.

The object of enjoying has changed, but the identity of being enjoyed has not changed. From another perspective, it seems that this is also the tragedy of this island country.

The Britons have caught the tide of the times and have been an island country for more than 200 years.

As for the Nihong people, they only had a few years of prestige, and then there was endless debt repayment and eternal anxiety.

In the silence, one could vaguely hear footsteps coming from the wooden floor corridor, from far to near. After a while, the wooden door was opened with a "swish", revealing the figures of Amanda Hearst and the others with a few maids.

Glancing at the Japanese-style house, even after falling asleep, there is still a difference in dignity. Only Mitsui Toko is eligible to be hugged and slept by Abel.

Feeling very sour and upset, Amanda still tried her best to put on a businesslike expression, "Boss, it's already 8:30. According to your request last night, we came to call you."

"It's troublesome." Abel let go of his arms to Mitsui Touko with a chuckle, and the latter grunted as if he felt something, but after all, he was too tired to get up, so he continued to sleep.

The rest of the neon women in the room fell asleep incomparably sweetly without any intention of waking up.

Under the service of Amanda and the maids, Abel finished washing quickly. He pretended not to see Amanda's bad expression. This Hester is far less obedient than Lydia, and he needs to continue to subtly adjust for a while.

"Hehe, it's interesting." After washing up and having breakfast, he sat on the chair in the study of Mitsui Bieyuan, which had been taken over by the rock security, and took a sip of the coffee that had been prepared on the table, with a satisfied expression on his face Abel said with a chuckle.

And the "really interesting" evaluation objects in his mouth are the Mitsui family, the owner of the mansion in the other courtyard, and several other neon big chaebol families.

The reason is because of the feedback from these people after receiving the plan he sent out, as well as their tricks of secretly contacting other American consortiums and even foreign consortia, Abel easily got it.

Abel understood but was not happy about the cautiousness of these neon people.

He who has been in a high position for a long time, his mentality in this regard is more and more like the attitude of the special envoys in the prosperous era of the ancient Chinese dynasty when they faced the small foreign countries-impatient, contemptuous, and contemptuous.

However, he didn't think about attacking the Neon people right now because of these reasons.

One is that it is unnecessary, and the other is that after all, she has just received a gift from someone else, and Miss Mitsui Toko is still sleeping soundly in the backyard.

Turning his face so quickly, even the Anza people couldn't do it when they weren't driven into a hurry.

"If you know it, you know it. This kind of thing itself can't be hidden." Abel looked at the document in his hand, frowned slightly, shook his head, and said to himself: "Testing steps are always made, If you don’t do it, how will you know if it’s going to work.”

Abel gave the Mitsui family their plan, as well as the grand plan of the World United Consortium, which was finally known to Morgan and the others in the United States.

Abel could imagine their surprise, especially not long ago he snatched half of Dupont from Morgan's bloody mouth, plus this incident, the two incidents stacked together, probably not just Surprised but angry.

Even Abel himself felt that he was really good at making things happen at this moment.

But isn't that what happens? In order to challenge the old overlord, how can the new forces succeed if they do nothing?

Back then, Britain relied on making troubles all over the world, and finally became the first world hegemon.

When it becomes the hegemon of the world, Britain at that time will see that everyone wants to make trouble, and it will suppress the rising new countries everywhere.

The United States also relied on the accumulation of World War I and World War II, as well as the continuous troubles after World War II to achieve its current international status.

The same is true in business between consortiums. Abel didn't feel that he had done anything wrong.
