America's Road to Wealth

The Potomac River is the most important river in the east-central United States.

It originates from the western foothills of the Appalachian Mountains, is formed by the confluence of the North Branch River and the South Branch River, and flows into the Chesapeake Bay of the Atlantic Ocean.

It is the 21st largest river in the United States and a very important river in the United States. The nation's hub, Washington, D.C., sits along the coast, overlooking the Potomac River.

Taidou Lake is a tidal lake next to the Potomac River, and the white palace is on the opposite side of the lake.

People with good eyesight can even see the daily life of Mr. Datong and his family on the South Lawn on the other side of the lake when the sun is shining and the visibility is better during the day.

It is also for this reason that the buildings and streets near Taidou Lake have always been very prosperous and important in the DC District.

A large number of luxury stores, top hotels and various high-end stores are arranged along Taituo Lake and the Potomac River.

The value of the place where you can watch the white house is naturally immeasurable.

This kind of sniper rifle can open the brains of the big commander's family over there or broaden their hearts.

Naturally, there are also a large number of police from the DC special zone patrolling day and night.

In private, I don't know how many FBL and Secret Service agents, or personnel from other elite intelligence organizations in the United States and other countries are watching.

Although in the United States, it is common for the general to be assassinated. But if such a thing as assassination can still happen in the lair of the great commander in the center of the empire.

Then FBl and other brother departments are too incompetent.

Therefore, the security work in related aspects is still very qualified. Any stranger who appears here may be taken away for questioning at any time.

Various commanding heights and lake shores, even closer, there will be many people staring at them.

This means that until now, there has been no attack from Taidou Lake to that side.

On Taidou Lake, next to the Potomac River.

In the Bar Spero restaurant, Abel, who had pointed out Jiangshan in the Federal Advisory Committee not long ago, was talking and laughing with the descendants of Samuel Adams in the restaurant at noon.

"Ah, I heard that this restaurant just opened two years ago. It was rated as a Michelin restaurant last year. I haven't tasted it yet, but the decoration and location look really good."

Looking at the restaurant's 10-meter-high ceiling and undulating glass space, as well as the south lawn across the lake, Abel smiled and said to John Adams opposite.

The restaurant specializes in open-fire cooking, and the menu is seasonal, with a "card of the day" offering a constantly rotating menu.

The sense of ritual and force in all aspects seems to be sufficient.

But what really got Abel raving about it was actually the fact that the restaurant was owned by John Adams.

People have hobbies, even the top-level Tianlong people.

Morgan likes small ones, Rockefeller likes related ones, DuPont used to like his own family, and now Abe Smith likes to find women to have illegitimate children...

This is a fetish on the part of women.

Everyone has hobbies in other areas. For example, everyone now knows that Abel Smith likes to draw in his spare time, much like that of an Austrian who grew a mustache decades ago.

Speaking of it, Tokuko was also very wronged. In fact, that person was not German at all, but an authentic Austrian.

When I failed the exam, I also failed at the Academy of Fine Arts in Austria.

But when it comes to this person, most people in the world have the impression that he is German.

So much so that during that period, the things done by Austria, which was actually not bad for its brutality, were ignored later.

The rest are some good impressions, such as the capital of music, the homeland of the musician Beethoven, and so on.

The name Vienna sounds very romantic.

However, Lao Bei is actually an authentic German...

Off topic.

John Adams, one of the leading figures of the Boston consortium, his greatest hobby is food.

It is said that when he was young, his dream was to become a gourmet, or a top chef.

As the eldest son of the Adams family, it is obviously unrealistic to be a foodie and chef.

So in the end, one of the things that John Adams, who took over the family business, likes to do is to taste food and open restaurants of different styles.

The Bar Spero next to Taidou Lake is the restaurant opened under the guidance of John Adams two years ago.

To praise someone is to praise each other's hobbies. This kind of trick is very common but very useful in social activities.

Sure enough, John Adams looked very happy with Abel's praise of the Bar Spero restaurant.

"Hahaha~ That's true, but the food here is actually more delicious. There is an original pil pil sauce, which will make seafood more delicious if used to soak them! There is also a special Carolina gold rice, which is also a must for people who come here The signature dishes to taste! Dear Mr. Smith, I have ordered these two dishes for you!"

John Adams said happily.

There is one thing to say, in fact, these two dishes were created with the participation of John Adams...

John Adams might have been a really good cook if he hadn't been born in the Adams family.

Just like the original Abel Smith, there is no word for the appearance of the current Abel.

Might also become a painter or not.

"I can not wait any more!"

Abel smiled back.

In this way, the leading figures of the Boston Consortium and the leading figures of the Texas United Consortium started talking and laughing.

Strictly speaking, this is the first time the two have met and had dinner in such a formal manner.

The reason, of course, is that at the regular meeting just now, the Boston Consortium, led by John Adams, surprisingly gave Abel a lot of support.

Although the resolution proposed by Abel was temporarily put on hold, Morgan and Rockefeller, who have always been loud in the Federal Advisory Committee, were forced to put the topic aside temporarily this time.

This is already very rare in the Federal Advisory Committee, and even rarely happens.

In this, John Adams' sudden action contributed a lot.

After the meeting, Abel offered to have dinner with John Adams.

John Adams readily accepted and offered to dine at Bar Spero.

During the meal, neither of them mentioned any work or business matters.

Most of the time is spent chatting, joking, and discussing food.

Regardless of their identities, it looks like the occasional dinner between friends of ordinary people.

"Wow~ It's really a very good food!"

Abel exclaimed.

I have to say that John Adams may really be talented in cooking and food.

Just like the original Abel, with his unique talent in art and art.

The tender and sweet razor clams soaked in the so-called pil pil sauce exudes the best garlic aroma and is addictive to eat.

The Carolina Gold Rice studded with Jonah crab meat is a special dish, and it tastes delicious.

There was also a dessert that made Abel, who doesn't like sweets, couldn't help but take a few more bites. It is a very special burnt cheese cake and ice cream.

There was still a meeting in the afternoon, and the two agreed tacitly that they didn't want to drink. Drink the house-made rose geranium soda or the neon yuzu ginger ale.

When the conversation was happy, John Adams proudly declared that these were his original creations, and said that he had a research kitchen in each of his estates.

In his spare time, John's favorite thing is to use a variety of ingredients and tools in these kitchens to create delicacies that are not available in this world.

After chatting happily, Abel naturally talked about his own hobbies.

John Adams also praised repeatedly, saying that "Manhattan Sunset" is not much worse than the works of Van Gogh and Picasso.

The two boasted about each other's hobbies, but they just didn't talk about the business in the afternoon.

After eating a meal for more than an hour, it was already 2 o'clock in the afternoon when we said goodbye to each other and left.

Sit in the car of the Cadillac monster and accompany him to Washington. One of the Hearst sisters who is mainly responsible for the communication between the princes of Smith and the "Emperor" Smith, Amanda Hearst just now Yes and John Adams' secretary accompanied the two bosses to dinner.

After getting in the car, after all, there is that level of intimacy.

She still couldn't help asking in a low voice: "Boss, I know I shouldn't ask. But I'm still curious why you and John Adams were chatting the whole time just now. The meeting in the afternoon is so important, shouldn't you talk about it?" Is it something important?"

Abel smiled, lifted her from the opposite secretary's seat, and put her in front of him.

He didn't need to hint, just this action made Amanda give her a submissive look.

Then she moved elegantly but full of femininity, and tied up her long golden hair charmingly to facilitate her next "work".

"Hiss... You still need to practice, Lydia is much better than you."

"snort!"

Abel's evaluation was exchanged for her dissatisfied humming.

Smiling, he touched Amanda's golden ponytail and the back of his head, and then said: "Actually, John Adams is willing to come out to eat with me. This is already an attitude. But, with the relationship between us The relationship has not yet reached the point where it can be directly discussed.”

"The Boston Consortium is different from ours in Texas. John Adams can't say anything over there. Even if he really wants to talk to me about something, he can't guarantee it."

"In this case, it is natural for the two parties to have a good personal relationship and pave the way for what may happen next. This is actually the best choice."

"I understand this, and John Adams understands this. So we just had a pure meal."

"But even so, just let other people know that John and I have lunch together at Taidou Lake at noon today."

"The direct effect of that is no different from the two of us directly talking about the afternoon."

Amanda, who was stuffed so full that she couldn't speak at all, didn't understand very well.

After all, she is only 19 years old now, and she hasn't even graduated from university yet. She is just doing an internship and working in advance.

But if you don't understand it, you don't understand it, and she also knows that Abel is willing to explain to herself, which is already very good.

So she worked even harder.

She hoped that her hard-working and submissive attitude could satisfy him, so that she could take a more lead in the invisible competition with her cousin Lydia.

Look at that Lydia, who can now appear in many public occasions as Abel's spokesperson to a certain extent.

As one of Abel's spokespersons, she is now being sought after by the American media everywhere, but it seems that her social status is still very high.

Those from the Smith family, or other rich people and business executives, were obviously more polite than themselves when they saw Lydia.

Lydia's position in the family has also changed from being inferior to her in the past to being superior to her now.

During the trip to Neon last time, although the relationship between the two has eased to a certain extent.

But competition is still everywhere between the two sides.

Especially in this aspect of competition, Amanda wants more, she doesn't want to lose to Lydia who has been inferior to her in the past.

So under Amanda's hard work, when Abel appeared again at the meeting of the imperial giants.

He has released a wave of "pressure" that he had accumulated today.

When he came to fight with those old guys again, he would naturally be more energetic.

It's just that this kind of thing involves major interests, and may even be related to the future of the empire.

It is impossible to add one morning and one afternoon to get it done smoothly.

The whole afternoon's meeting did not produce any results in the end.

When Abel came out of the conference room, he thought about inviting DuPont, Wilson, and Adams at noon, and everyone just had dinner together at night.

Alan, the chief think tank, brought him a piece of news.

"Just now there was news from New York that William Hubbs Rehnquist was diagnosed with thyroid cancer at the New York Presbyterian Hospital, and it was at an advanced stage."

Hearing the news, even Abel couldn't help raising his eyebrows, and the reaction was somewhat big.

"Who informed me? Caroline?"

"Yes. She also said that it hasn't spread yet, but at most everyone who should know will know by tomorrow."

Abel nodded: "This is normal, tsk tsk... With William's identity and status, how could he be diagnosed at a late stage? Ha, it's really interesting. Let's go, let's go directly to the White House."

Allen nodded yes, and Abel stopped greeting others and sat directly in the Cadillac monster in the middle of the convoy.

The convoy stretched away, aiming at the White Palace not far away.

Shortly after.

In the white house.

"Oh, William has this disease? That's unfortunate..."

When Herbert and George father and son heard the news, Herbert's expression was surprised and he said the above sentence.

George's expression, although he was trying to hide it, it was obvious that this guy was somewhat excited.

Just on the weekend, I took my children to visit relatives in Huizhou for two days. The children are having fun, and it is estimated that they will not be home until ten o'clock. This chapter is the first to be published, and there is only one chapter today, and it will be compensated by three shifts tomorrow.
