America's Road to Wealth

Of course, it is impossible for Abel to spend most of his time on Elon Musk and Michael Griffin tonight.

Although he does attach great importance to space exploration technology, he is willing to spend some money and energy to help humans explore the space universe and make contributions in this regard.

But Abel is also very clear, on the premise that humans have not cheated and at the same time have a large number of relevant scientists at the level of Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Werner von Braun.

Exploring space-related technologies will only be a great mission that is very important but has a long way to go, and requires time and slow investment to achieve.

Abel feels that it may be difficult to see humans formally settle on the moon, maybe even in his own lifetime.

And he felt that his life, under normal circumstances, would definitely last more than a century without accidents.

Abel doesn't have the super-devotion to sacrifice the small for the big.

It’s okay to invest some money and energy to support it, but it’s really impossible for him to devote himself wholeheartedly.

But to be honest, if it is said that a super gold mine is discovered on the moon, the difficulty of mining is very low.

The amount of gold in this gold mine does not need to be too much, it only needs 200,000 tons, and the global capitalists will madly invest in space exploration and space mining technology.

Because although it is said that according to relevant technical calculations, the entire earth has about 400 million tons of gold. But the real effective reserves are only about 100,000 tons.

According to the current excavation volume of thousands of tons per year, it can only be dug for decades.

Today, the price of gold in 2003 is about $350 an ounce, and a ton is about $12.34 million.

According to this price, the current effective gold value reserves on the earth are about 1.234 trillion US dollars.

If there were twice as many moons, the wealth of 2.4 trillion U.S. dollars would definitely drive global capitalists crazy.

In addition, gold is very valuable and will appreciate. It is worth 2.4 trillion US dollars now, and it will only become more and more valuable in the future.

It's a pity that this assumption does not exist, and such easy-to-mine gold has not been found on the moon with the current technology.

Of course, this premise does not exist.

"My dear, it seems that you have a deep interest in space technology?"

After separating from Elon Musk and the others, Little Laura, who was holding his hand, asked in a curious whisper.

"Of course, who wouldn't be interested in the stars and seas? Besides, as a human being, I would like to make some contributions to human society in my lifetime."

Abel nodded and smiled, his wandering eyes saw a pair of familiar faces approaching, he stretched out his hand to support Little Laura's arm, and said with a smile, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are here."

As he said that, Abel took the initiative to take two steps forward, holding the little Laura with a happy smile on his face, and facing Neil and his mother-in-law in a white evening dress who came over.

Before going to California, Neil paid much attention to his personal image. The shrub family has always paid great attention to this aspect.

After embarking on the political arena that needs to eat people and also needs a good image.

In this regard, both Neil and Alexander paid more attention to it.

However, due to the different voters, the parties, factions and external people are different, and the family background is also different.

The personal image and personality of the two are also different.

Alexander is a free hair style that is more inclined to air perm, which is very similar to the hairstyles of old white men in traditional areas such as the central, southern, and eastern United States.

Neil Bush has very short inch hair, which seems to be closer to the type that new immigrants like.

This aspect is very particular.

Abel smiled at little Laura and the smiling Neils hugging and greeting, and then himself.

"Good evening uncle and aunt."

"Good evening, boys."

With a satisfied smile on his face, Neil hugged Abel and patted Abel's back vigorously a few times to show his intimacy.

It has to be said that Neil is really satisfied with his son-in-law, and he is very proud of his father's vision and means to subdue this super rich son-in-law.

Without Herbert's good vision and means, without the tolerance and big heart of her own daughter.

Then he felt that he was definitely just that poor little oil company manager now.

Although he bears the status of the son of the Grand Commander and the younger brother of the Grand Commander, he is not as honorable as he is now.

Although these identities of my own now also need to rely on my father, brother and son-in-law, more son-in-law.

But the manager of the small oil company and the member of Congress, these are two different things, and any fool knows which to pick!

Just now Neil was with the Alexander couple, but they had already dispersed.

Tonight is a good social platform, everyone has their own social needs. Old relationships and contacts need to be maintained, and new friends and relationships need to be expanded.

Abel Na was the son of Alexander, so the relationship between father and son naturally did not need to be maintained.

Neil is not the case, although Abel is his son-in-law.

But his son-in-law is not a good boy...

Even his father-in-law needs to maintain a good relationship with his son-in-law. Naturally, seeing Abel and Elon Musk separated, he took the initiative to get together.

"What did you talk to that South African just now, and Michael Griffin?"

Neil watched his wife and daughter communicating beside him, while he started talking with Abel.

"The South Africans took one of my investments to start a space exploration technology startup. Michael Griffin is a big shot at NASA, and I thought my startup company needed to use NASA, so I chatted for a while. "

Neil nodded. In the eyes of a traditional politician like him, it doesn't matter whether space is space or not.

The most important thing is votes, followed by political ideas and parties.

But this is what his most important son-in-law is concerned about, so he still gave some suggestions.

"NASA's current director is the Zipper couple. If you want to make a fuss at NASA, Michael Griffin is really a good candidate. His wife and Laura used to be classmates."

Abel was stunned, and quickly realized that this Laura should not be his little Laura, but George's wife Laura, who is now the first lady.

He thought it was no wonder that in the parallel time and space, Michael Griffin was able to become the director of NASA two years later, and he was able to take the oath of office in front of George, and was more valued than other NASA directors.

It turns out that there is still such a relationship, and it really deserves to be the United States. A country that is more about people and relationships than anywhere else in the world.

"Thank you uncle for reminding me. I will discuss it with George later." Abel smiled.

"That's good." Neil nodded, and turned his head to look at little Laura's completely flat belly after giving birth. He felt that his wife should persuade his daughter.

Time to conceive again, to give birth to a second Orthodox Smith.

As far as he knows, among the women of his son-in-law, there are quite a few who gave birth to Smith's second child.

But of course he wouldn't bring it up now, but continued: "Bring King Abel II to Northwest 45th Street tomorrow. His grandmother and I miss him very much."

"Okay." Abel agreed directly, anyway, he will be staying in Washington for a few days this time.

And little Laura did bring their son Abel II.

The four-month-old child is growing and developing very well. There are reasons for sufficient nutrition, and there are also reasons for Abel's excellent genes.

Not very long-distance air travel, plus all kinds of high-tech maintenance, unless the plane crashes, it is not a problem at all.

After chatting with his son-in-law and daughter for a while, Neil felt that it was almost done, so he bid farewell and left to maintain his own private social network.

Elon Musk, Michael Griffin, Neil Shrub and his wife dealt with it in two consecutive groups.

At this time, there were other dinner guests one after another, using various excuses and means to try to get close to this unusually young and extremely distinguished couple.

What Abel and Little Laura have to do is to identify them based on their identities, intentions, and their relationship with their camp.

Then spend a few minutes, or a dozen minutes, talking and communicating with him properly.

Basically, another in-depth talk with George later was ruled out.

This is the general itinerary for Abel at the dinner of the White House Journalists Association tonight.

The lights of Washington in the night are brilliant, continuing the hustle and bustle of the day. The little lights come from far to near, accompanied by the sound of speeding cars, they turn into boundless dots of stars again, countless lights are connected into a shining flowing light belt, and the long road is like a bright galaxy in the sky.

"Honey, I feel like the Smiths and the California real estate tycoon tonight are about to fight."

Among the Cadillac monsters moving slowly and steadily, little Laura snuggled into Abel's arms with a trace of tiredness, squinting her beautiful eyes, as if thinking of something, raised her pretty face with a slight frown, and looked at the same girl who was also closing her eyes. Asked from the side of Abel, who was resting his mind.

She saw a lot of people, said a lot, and made a lot of appropriate social expressions tonight.

These are actually very tiring, although I can rest now.

But she was still very eager to fit into Abel's social circle, so she tried to pick out who Abel should be happy to talk about and ask.

"Ha, that couple and TND Bren. It's normal to be at loggerheads. After all, they are fighting for the land property rights in a wealthy city in California. Tens of billions of dollars are involved, and no one will take it lightly."

Tonight, TND Brun, the richest real estate man in Southern California, and Mrs. Joan Wan \u0026 Smith, who have visited Abel many times, also attended the banquet.

Later, both parties approached Abel at the same time, and wanted to continue talking with Abel about Qiongwan City.

But for this matter, Abel's mind has become less and less after his status has become higher and higher.

Rather than wrestling with this matter, just for the possible billions of dollars in profits.

Abel felt that it would be better to spend his time and energy on the capital market.

So he didn't chat with the other party for long at all, and left after finding an excuse.

That is, both of them almost looked like they were fighting.

Little Laura didn't know about it, and it was normal to be curious and concerned when she saw it.

Abel explained to her a little bit about the grievances and grievances between Brun, the white glove of the California donkey party and the backer, and Joan Wan and the Smith family in Northern California.

"They all want me to support one of them, and the rewards they are willing to offer look good. But I'm tired of the endless pulling between them, so I don't want to get involved anymore."

"I remembered, my father seems to have mentioned it to me." Little Laura said suddenly: "It seems that these two families must have provided help when he was campaigning?"

"Yes, that's barely the reward they offer. But that's it, the donkey gang and I are the ones who really contribute."

"Honey."

In the carriage, Little Laura was silent for a few seconds, then suddenly said, "How about leaving this matter to me?"

"oh?"

Her words diverted Abel's attention from the homeless people who could be seen everywhere in the capital of the empire outside the window to her.

The economy is really bad, otherwise there wouldn't be so many homeless people in the District of Columbia.

After all, the weather here is really not as suitable for homeless people as California.

In Washington in winter, people sometimes freeze to death.

"Are you interested in doing this kind of thing?"

"There should always be something to do."

Little Laura said: "Everything is fine with Abel II. He is better behaved, smarter and better developed than normal children. I think I can help you do some things while taking good care of him. At the same time, I am letting myself life is more fulfilling.”

This time it was Abel's turn to be silent.

First of all, Abel doesn't really believe that's the real reason little Laura wants to do things.

Abel prefers that she no longer wants to be obscurity, and wants to give full play to her status as his real wife, intervene and increase her influence besides his personal affairs.

Well, something is better than nothing.

This concept Abel has always existed, and he is happy with his women to do things. And as long as they make sure that they don't fall, it doesn't matter what they do.

Thinking of this, Abel nodded and said, "It's fine, but what do you want to do?"

"I didn't think about it." She suddenly said with a smile: "Anyway, my dear, if you don't want to work hard, then leave it to me. If it's okay, I'll do it. If it's not, I won't bother to care about them!"

"Hmm." After thinking for a while, Abel said, "Later, I will have someone hand over the relevant information to you. You can do it yourself, and I will provide you with all the help you need."

"Thank you honey, I love you~wuma~"

The young mistress of the Smith family offered a kiss.
