America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 684 The Last Normal Person in the White House

Abel stayed in Washington until early July before leaving.

Basically, it is certain that George's re-election this year, as long as the subprime mortgage crisis does not come immediately, there should be no problem.

The main reason is that he satisfies both the military-industrial complex and Wall Street at the same time.

After taking office, George's big release directly made American real estate "prosper" again. Real estate developers are happy, and Wall Street, which makes money by lending money, is even happier.

To what extent was the most outrageous subprime mortgage? Someone bought a $150,000 condominium with a loan in the name of his puppy without spending a dime...

Of course the interest is high.

It is so outrageous that before the crisis came, one can imagine how profitable Wall Street was on paper.

In addition, with the presence of Abel, a Wall Street tycoon, George in this time and space does not have no friends on Wall Street. Naturally, Wall Street's support for him is stronger than that time and space.

Not to mention the military-industrial complex.

George and his father are themselves the spokespersons launched by the military-industrial complex.

Even the Texas Consortium itself is one of the largest military-industrial complexes in the United States.

In particular, the California consortium, another member of the giant military-industrial complex, now has a good relationship with the Texans, and George's support in it is even stronger.

In addition, Americans at this time have not yet tasted the evil consequences of the so-called "global anti-K". In public opinion, everyone is more positive towards George.

In the parallel time and space, it was also in 2005 and 2006 that the U.S. military began to fall into the quagmire. Coupled with the bad economy, there was a terrifying Great Depression-style financial crisis, which made George's evaluation plummet.

From being a little bit full of martial arts virtues, to being mediocre and harming Americans a lot...

In fact, in the parallel time and space, compared with his successor Ah Hei, George is really more concerned about revitalizing the United States.

For example, George introduced the K12 education reform during his tenure. Once this reform is successful or continued, it will be able to balance the "Educational Improvement Act" and "Educational Goals Act" passed during the Zizton period.

Balance the weakening of the American education system by these two bills to a certain extent.

To put it simply, George felt that Zipperton's "happy education" and "educational burden reduction" are good for ordinary people, but they are weakening the national strength of the United States as a whole.

So he introduced K12 education reform, the so-called NCLB Act.

The bill looks very "examination-oriented education", so once it was introduced, it was criticized by many "education experts".

However, in fact, if this plan is followed, the workload of a large number of teachers across the United States will increase significantly, and the time teachers spend on correcting test papers and homework will be several times more than usual.

Therefore, not only education experts and donkeys have various criticisms, but also teachers and children facing this bill have complained.

Teachers don't want more homework and test papers to increase their workload.

Educated children... who would instinctively like a lot of test papers or homework?

So the bill was unpopular in the first place.

And Ah Hei's approach was very extreme. He wanted to please the huge vote pool of the teachers. Attacked the NCLB Act during the campaign and canceled the NCLB Act not long after successfully taking office.

Since then, the American education system that once allowed the United States to have the most engineers and the most outstanding technicians in the world has disappeared.

It is replaced by the ultimate happy education, the kind of happy education that does not even need to write a single homework from the beginning of school to the university.

As for the final consequences, look at the parallel time and space after 2022.

Even "elite workers" such as Boeing aircraft workers can produce a lot of extra screws when assembling the aircraft, so we know whether George's approach is correct or his successor Ah Hei's approach to the national power of the United States. Correct.

Off topic.

In short, in Abel's view, the United States in parallel time and space. It can be said that George is a relatively incompetent American leader, but compared to his successors, at least George is a normal person.

Basically none of the higher-ranking ones are normal, including King Maga.

The so-called decline of the empire must have evildoers, and this is probably the case.

July fifth.

After spending Independence Day in the center of the empire, Abel's plane departed from Washington.

By the time the plane landed at Los Angeles International Airport, it was already evening, and the setting sun dyed the sky red.

The convoy of a group of people drove towards Beverly Hills quickly.

Although in the eyes of the real old money, Beverly Hills is where the upstarts and the so-called big stars live.

But Abel felt that the scenery and conditions in Beverly Hills were really good.

It is not close to downtown Los Angeles, and at the same time, there is Hollywood at the foot of the mountain, and the distance to the airport is also close.

In addition, there are many Chinese attributes in his soul. Isn't the Chinese memory of Los Angeles the Sunshine, Hollywood and the Lakers?

Beverly Hills is roughly equivalent to "Hollywood", so he naturally likes living here.

The purpose of the convoy this time is a new house, which was bought by New Start Real Estate Company at the beginning of this year.

The mansion was originally called the "Flower of Lys" with an area of ​​50,000 square feet (approximately 4,645 square meters).

The previous owner was Susan Saperstein. She and her then husband, Texas millionaire David Saperstein, hired someone to custom-build the villa in 2001.

It was only built this year, but what makes people speechless is that the two divorced within a few days after the completion of the villa.

The house was awarded to the woman, who did not have much financial means and could not afford the repair and maintenance costs of the house and subsequent taxes.

She directly listed the price of 125 million to sell the villa.

However, even at this time, during the US real estate boom, this price is a bit of a rip-off, and no one cares about it.

New Start Real Estate didn't pay attention to this kind of stuff that the lion opened its mouth at first.

Later, when Ikana went to see the house by chance, she fell in love with it all of a sudden.

In addition to the standard equipment of luxury houses such as a large number of bedrooms, bathrooms, swimming pools, theaters, etc., the magnificent dance hall has arches decorated with mirrors, and the design is inspired by the Hall of Mirrors in the Palace of Versailles. There are also luxurious chandeliers and ceiling paintings.

Ikana, who has been influenced by family traditions, is not immune to the luxury of local tyrants and European courts. This is not because Abel meant to be sarcastic. To be honest, this kind of decoration style will not Eliminated by time, it can also satisfy the aesthetic time of most people.

After that things are simple.

Ikana told Abel about it in a different way, and Abel directly asked the new starting point real estate company to come to the door.

Of course it won't be the original price of 125 million U.S. dollars, that would be too much of a fool.

Finally, after negotiating the relationship with Susan's husband, David, New Start Real Estate Company won the Flower of Liss at a cost price of US$60 million plus US$10 million.

It was then renamed Ikana's Flower and became Ikana's main residence in Los Angeles.

When Abel arrived at the Flower of Ikana, which was originally the Flower of Lys.

A party happens to be taking place in the huge villa.

This is a birthday party, a party to celebrate the dear Mr. Barron Hilton Smith happy birthday.

It's really not that I want to stop changing, since the new crown, I feel that my body has become very poor. This time it was even more exaggerated. After eating half a piece of fried chicken, I had a sore throat and could not speak the next morning, and I had a fever at noon. It took two days to get better. Even the new book is almost stopped, relying on the manuscript... This book will be finished well, and if it is not finished this month, it will be next month. In short, the ending will try to be as good as possible!
