America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 485 When the Texas Consortium and the California Consortium are connected

  Washington, DC.

  Tonight, this banquet is a seemingly ordinary, high-profile party that actually attracts much attention.

  The banquet was held for several hours, and it can be said that celebrities gathered.

  Because the timing of the banquet was rather special, almost all major consortiums in the United States were present.

   When the banquet was in full swing, Abel even fantasized—

   What if someone dropped a wooden egg on top of the banquet hall at this time.

  That night, the most powerful country on this planet will definitely collapse immediately, and even trigger a wave of brain death.

  Of course, this kind of thing can only be a fantasy.

  In this period, probably except aliens.

   There is really no country on earth that can deliver eggs on top of the protected white house.

  If there is a country that can do it, it will not be the United States.

   But that country is number one in the world.

  In this seemingly ordinary banquet, the actual specifications have been improved.

  Even the current owner of the white house, George, has changed from a distinguished master to a role similar to a host.

  The commander-in-chief shuttled around the entire banquet scene like a butterfly wearing flowers.

  Communicate with people everywhere, so busy.

   Abel, who was surrounded by the core figures of the entire Texas consortium, naturally became one of the most concerned people at the banquet.

  The reason why it is only one of the most concerned people is naturally because there are too many big people in this banquet.

  Abel’s old acquaintances, none of them are small people.

   I won’t talk about people like John Chris Morgan and David Rockefeller.

  The current chairman of the Federal Reserve, Alan Greenspan, the Oracle of Omaha, Buffett, etc., also appear a little thin in it.

   are as high-profile as Abel and Morgan.

   It also has to be the controller behind the behemoths such as First Citibank, DuPont, Boston Consortium, and Mellon Consortium.

   That's right, they're all here.

  The main reason why they came here is because of the meeting of the Federal Advisory Committee tomorrow.

  A small part of the reason is that these people more or less came here with the mood of watching the excitement.

  The excitement they want to watch is naturally related to the grievances between Abel and the rich families on the east coast.

  Abel has a special relationship with the East Coast giants.

   First of all, he is a Texan who has always been hated by the East Coast giants, but also helpless.

  Secondly, his fortune and one of his current bases is in New York City, the core base of the East Coast giants.

  He has laid a stable field on the financial battlefield where the East Coast giants are best at.

  It was so stable that Rockefeller and Morgan were helpless.

   Now he is using his ability in this area, with the support of the Texans, to challenge the East Coast giants.

   What's more ironic is that his relationship with the East Coast giants has always been very friendly.

  Hurst and Hilton, the second-tier east coast giants, even have a close relationship with him.

   All in all, the banquet tonight was very lively.

   But nothing substantial happened.

  In this banquet, most of the people just came out to get acquainted, and then made false claims with various forces.

   It is absolutely impossible to make peace with real interests in such a grandiose manner in front of everyone.

  Only when they reach a certain level and have the intention of cooperation in the same direction.

   will find another place, and then discuss in detail, this is the normal mode.

  And the regular meeting of the Federal Advisory Committee tomorrow is not just for one day.

  Each regular meeting, as short as two or three days, as long as a week.

  Sometimes, if there is no agreement, the stalemate can last for more than half a month.

  With such a major interest at stake, how could a one- or two-hour meeting be settled.

  Think long-term, combine vertically and horizontally, each uses unique tricks, you advance and retreat, coercion and compromise, etc. are all staged.

  In the end, after burning the brain cells of many smart people, they can achieve satisfactory or at least acceptable results.

   In other words, tonight's banquet is just the beginning of the changing situation in DC in the next few days.

   To be honest, for a social field of this size.

  Abel doesn't have much experience and it's his first time participating. But Davis Brown they have.

   The old guys are now in the same camp as him.

  When the interests are the same. They were also willing to charge Abel's way for their own benefit.

  This made Abel's work easier.

   In addition, Abel was not without gains in this banquet.

   This evening, at the beginning.

  As soon as she entered the banquet hall of the White House, Keira Wilson was taken to the California consortium by her brother.

   But soon she was back, with a bunch of old guys from the California consortium.

   Like the Texas consortium, the California consortium is controlled by more than one family.

  The Wilson family is just one of the important components inside.

   They hold Wells Fargo, the most important control.

  In addition to the Wilson family, like the Litton family of Kayla’s sister-in-law, the Etta family of Martin Corporation, the Giannini family of the founder of Bank of America, the Milton family of the second largest private shareholder of Bank of America and Wells Fargo…

  Counting Wilson, there are a total of 6 important figures in the core family of the California consortium, and they had a good chat with the Texas consortium led by Abel.

  In fact, in the past, the California consortium and the Texas consortium have always had signs of a bit of grudge competition.

  Because everyone is similar in many aspects, and they are competitors in many aspects.

   To put it simply, they are all gunmen, and they are the most powerful existence among the princes of the empire.

   This situation changed only after entering the 1990s.

  After entering the 1990s, due to certain things, the California consortium, which was not very united, became even more divided.

   It was just a split.

  But the veteran giants on the east coast seized the opportunity to sneak in.

  Used many means to aggressively invade the disunity of the California consortium.

  Up to now, part of the California consortium has been influenced and controlled by the East Coast giants.

   At this time, the California guys found out.

  They should not be angry with the Texans, but should learn from the Texans.

  The Texans have been suppressed by the East Coast giants for so many years.

   But looking at the entire United States, the Texas consortium is almost the only regional consortium that is not invaded by the East Coast giants.

  Similar regional forces, except for Texas in the United States, there is only one Utah Mormon who is extremely poor.

  The California consortium is actually very envious of the Utah Mormons and the old landowners in Texas.

  In the view of California guys, these two gangs of birdmen are either engaged in one F and more Q, or they are encouraging the red necks to come out with guns to make trouble with the Federation.

  These two buddies are the most evil, but the two old hats are still doing nothing, and they are very popular among the people in the state.

  Mormons are foolish, collecting tithes and building big temples and big schools everywhere.

  Brigham Young is a series of schools, the largest private university and private school in the world.

  Mormons also have public warehouses, tithes and church property, and will help church members in need. They are very popular among the middle and lower classes, and there are many berserkers.

  Plus the poor, the old rich families on the east coast, seeing that they don't have much money, so they basically don't pay much attention to them.

  California envy their independence, but not their poverty.

  In contrast, Texas has more oil and water, and its natural resources are better than California.

  But still able to maintain a strong independence, which makes the California consortium envious.

  Texas was originally dominated by farming and animal husbandry, and it was originally a group of ranchers.

  No entertainment at all. Tired of herding the cows, the loudspeaker yelled and gathered the cowboys under his command. A group of people rode horses and went to Mexico with guns.

   It’s just a territory in one state. If you have nothing to do, you can go to Mexico to play and grab Lao Mo’s cattle.

  The commander-in-chief came to ask for cattle and falsely accused him of aggression. The Lone Star Republic is not called for nothing.

  Dezhou is a state with vast land and extremely wide urban road space. There are more bungalows than buildings.

  The food in Texas is ugly, the houses are old, and the residents are landless. It is not at all like the state with the third most developed economy in the United States.

  In the eyes of Californians, this bird state is not like the United States at all. When you meet howdy, there are more Lone Star flags than Stars and Stripes. There are more pickup trucks than sedans.

  The same is a party of princes, the counterparts in Texas have such a good time, but I am like this.

  The California guy was very envious, and began to want to learn from the Texans.

   Also since the 1990s, the relationship between the two parties has eased a lot.

  George was able to come to power smoothly, and the easing of relations between Texas and California has a great impact.

  If future generations look into it, they will find that it was only in the 1990s that there was occasional news about referendums in California.

   Unlike Texas, there were frequent troubles more than 100 years ago.

  This means that some Californians did not realize until the 1990s that troublesome children have daughters...

  And now, because of Abel and Slade Wilson.

  The relationship between the two parties is obviously more moderate.

  The combination of the two major armies, industrial complexes and complexes is naturally more eye-catching at the banquet.

  Now Californians and Texans understand that next in DC, we have very similar common interests to fight for.

  So at the banquet, the Californian and the Texan, of course, had a good time talking about all kinds of things.

  Happily, Keira Wilson came to Abel's side.

  When Huan arrived at the end of the banquet, she even left as she came.

  She came in Abel's car.

  When I left, I also took Abel’s car.

   That's Abel's Cadillac monster "lost".

   Did not send her back to the place where the California consortium lived.

   Nor was it sent back to the Wilson family stronghold in Washington.

   Instead, they sent her to No. 599 Water Street, DC.

  No. 599 Southwest Water Street, DC District, is a 6-story townhouse.

  It is less than 100 meters away from the place where the famous "Gate S Incident" took place. It is at most 150 meters away from Capitol Hill, one of the core power centers in the United States.

   All along, the owners who own it are all members of Congress or senior federal officials.

   Last year, it was bought by New Start Real Estate Company.

  Since then, this old England-style mansion with a history of more than 100 years has become one of the residences of members of the Smith family when they were working in the DC District.

  An old-fashioned townhouse in England, on the night of May 4th.

  In the owner's small living room on the fifth floor.

   "Would you like a drink?"

  Abel took out a bottle of red wine from the closet full of all kinds of fine wines.

  Kayla's cheeks were a little flushed, she had actually drunk a little at the banquet, and she was a little tipsy.

   But looking at the tall, strong and very handsome Abel, she still nodded.

  She feels that she really needs more alcohol now!

   Or rather, she needs some courage!

  Abel poured her a glass of red wine, and then sat across from Keira, not far or near.

   This is a safe distance summed up by his "old hunter", which can relieve the tension of the prey without appearing alienated.

  When he took Keira away from her elder brother, he seemed very domineering, but he became gentle when things came to an end.

   After all, he intends to "hold for the long term."

  He was teasing girls, not girls.

  Emotional exchange is very necessary!

  So he didn't put any pressure on Keira, showing the consideration that a gentleman should have.

   With Abel's gentleness and the help of alcohol, Keira's mood gradually eased.

   There was an intoxicating smile on her face, and her gaze at Abel changed from hesitation and confusion to shyness and expectation.

  The two chatted a lot, and they got to know each other better.

  Abel was very frank. He told Keira directly about his ambition for the California consortium.

   But he confessed very skillfully, in his "confession".

   He showed that she, Keira Wilson, would be very important, even central.

  Once he succeeds, it means that she will become more important in the California consortium.

  Maybe it’s because the scene is appropriate, maybe it’s because she knows her appearance as Jasmine, so she didn’t fool Abel at all.

  Kayla also begins to confess to him.

  She said she didn't want to be a victim of family marriage, she didn't want to be a reproductive machine.

  She wants to stay in the Wilson family, she doesn't want her brother kicked out.

  She wanted Abel to help her, and was more than happy to pay for it.

  By this time, most of the bottle of red wine has gone down...

   Judging that the time had come, Abel turned on the record player in the living room.

  He put down his wine glass, walked up to Keira, caressed her beautiful back with one hand, stretched forward with the other hand, with a small body, and invited Kaila with a standard gentleman's courtesy:

  "Sincerity can eliminate all misunderstandings and make us feel close. Beautiful lady, may I ask you to dance?"

"Well…"

  Kayla put her hot palm on Abel's hand.

  She felt that she really drank too much now.

  The melodious waltz sounded.

  Handsome men and beautiful women are dancing in the living room.

  The friction of the limbs brought about a collision in the soul.

  Kayla’s uneasiness has completely dissipated. She is constantly adapting to Abel’s gentleness. Looking at Abel’s perfect profile, Kayla’s deer is bumping wildly.

   Until the end of the song, the two looked at each other.

  Kayla was drunk.

   Too drunk to keep my eyes open...

  Her body is very light, as if floating on the clouds.

   "You are a devil, you not only want the California consortium, not only my body..."

   Keira whispered softly: "You still want to capture my soul!"

   "Then...do you accept it or accept it, or accept it?"

  Hearing three acceptances in a row, Kaila, who was just drunk, froze.

  She looked up and wanted to respond.

   "Woooooooooooo..."

   It is no longer necessary, and the response was blocked.

   Behind, there are naturally the California consortium and the Texas consortium. It is time for the close connection from the deepest part of the soul.

  The next day.

  The early morning in the wealthy district of Washington is extremely quiet.

  Here, except for the occasional chirping of birds and the footsteps of people doing morning exercises, it is difficult to hear the sound of car horns and noisy voices of people.

  At 8 o'clock in the morning, Abel woke up in the master bedroom on the 6th floor of the old mansion due to the stable biological clock.

  Looking at the strange decorations around him, he remembered that this was his first stay at this property.

  Looking at the mess next to him, the complacent expression on Abel's face was fleeting.

  Getting off Simmons, he covered Kayla with a quilt.

  Abel was naked and walked into the bathroom next to him.

  Ten minutes later, when he came out again, he was refreshed and changed into a bathrobe.

  Before going out, he took a last look at Simmons on Keira, a feeling of a hunter after enjoying the prey emerged spontaneously.

  Close the door and go downstairs.

  Fourth floor, in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows facing Southwest Water Street Street.

  The dining table covered with a clean white tablecloth is filled with a variety of delicacies.

   Cut a piece of Texas-style grilled pork chops, and while eating, Abel listened to Edward's soft report.

   "Last night, Mr. Wilson Jr. sent people over many times to pick up Miss Wilson."

"oh."

   "Mr. Wilson Jr. in the back even wanted to force his way in. But we stopped them, and their people showed signs of doing something. A few Californians came from behind and persuaded Mr. Wilson Jr. away."

  Abel nodded, he was not surprised by what happened last night.

   Confront what you did to Kayla.

   Or Kayla Wilson's own practice or choice.

  John Wilson could not remain indifferent.

  John wants to take Kayla away by force, which is very natural.

   But long-term holding is also what Abel wants to do with Keira Wilson.

  In this, Keira's beauty accounts for at most 5% of the factors.

  The remaining 95% are in the internally split California consortium.

  So Abel won't let him take Kayla away.

  If the two sides can't relax, it doesn't matter even if they have a fight in DC.

   Anyway, it is impossible to make a big fuss, this is the most heavily guarded place in the United States.

   But beyond Abel's expectations, it was the California consortium who persuaded John Wilson to leave.

  Last night, Abel had discovered it.

  In the California consortium, some people are optimistic and even supportive of Kayla getting closer to him.

   I was able to take Kayla away smoothly, and this part of the people can say that they have made great efforts.

   Without them holding John Wilson, he couldn't take Kayla away at all.

  Abel guessed that the people who persuaded John to leave later were probably the same group of Californians.

  So it seems that the California consortium is really divided to a deep level, and the situation may be a little dangerous.

  And Abel didn't believe that last night, after Keira was taken away by him, John Wilson didn't go to his father.

  Slade Wilson has Abel's personal contact number.

   And that satellite phone, last night, was at his side's fingertips all night.

   But it didn't ring the whole time, so that Abel checked it halfway and thought it was broken.

   Not broken.

   Only Slade Wilson didn't call.

   As for not wanting to call, or not calling because of other reasons.

   Then Abel is not clear.
