"Sorry, I didn't mean to hear that. But I was right next to me and still heard some. ”

Abel hung up the phone and heard David next to him say:

。

"[Make Tarrant Greater,] sounds like a campaign slogan."

"There's nothing wrong with that. That's the campaign slogan. ”

Abertan was frank and didn't intend to hide anything from David Mellon.

In the United States, there is money to play campaigns.

This is the choice of many wealthy people, whether they are new or old

The simplest example.

Since the 80s.

City of New York. long, almost always held by the rich.

Among them, Bloomberg, who has not yet taken office, has completed the transformation from a billionaire to a billionaire during his tenure.

"Texas? Tarrant? David Mellon asked.

"Yes. My hometown. Abel said,

"My father felt that his later life should have been more exciting.

He intends to launch a new challenge for his life.

I think it's good and I support him. ”

David shrugged his shoulders in an American manner and whispered:

"Maybe I can do me a favor? Have you ever heard of Councillor Sasd? ”

Abel was uncertain: "This name, it seems to belong to one of our Texas House of Representatives?" ”

The members of Congress in the United States are divided into senators and representatives.

There are only two senators per state, and they are elected only once every seven years.

There are 435 members of the House of Representatives, and the rule is one for every 700,000 people.

In other words, states with large populations should also have a slightly larger number of representatives.

Texas in 2000, with a population of 21 million, was one of the most populous states in the United States.

So in the whole of Texas, there are thirty representatives.

With so many members of the House of Representatives, they generally don't all stay in Texas, but in the D.C.

It's the capital.

Abel didn't care about these things before, and it stands to reason that he wouldn't remember Rep. Sasde.

But this Sasder, who is already a veteran member of the House of Representatives, has served many times in a row.

And there have been two attempts to storm the governor's throne and once to the senatorial throne.

Although it was unsuccessful, the news in Texas was also very big during the election.

So even ordinary Texans will have a little impression of Sasder.

"There's nothing wrong with that. He was also my uncle. It's the husband of my father's sister. David Mellon said.

Abel raised his eyebrows, thinking that the relationship between these old money was really intricately entangled.

Abel also understood that David meant this well, probably to show that if there was a need.

Alexander's campaign in Tarrant can be done with the help of Rep. Sasder.

People can be in the position of a member of the House of Representatives for so long, and they can still be evergreen after three failures.

This proves that his position in Texas is still relatively stable.

"Thank you." Abel smiled and said, "But it may not be needed yet." My dad probably just wanted to have fun. If you really want to take this path in the future, even if you don't say it, I'll let you see if there are any connections that you can use. ”

David shrugged and nodded in understanding.

"Gone." Abel walked out of the company and went to take the elevator.

Soon after, he walked out of the Woolworth Building.

At this time, it was already past eleven o'clock in the evening, close to twelve o'clock.

He looked up at the door of the Woolworths Building and saw several tall financial office buildings around him, still brightly lit, and he could even see people walking around.

In terms of volumes, this street should be the most volatile in the United States.

In the international foreign exchange market tonight, such a fat black swan fell.

Financial companies with foreign exchange business are probably still busy at this time.

Shaking his head, he sat sideways on the Maybach 62s driven by driver Andy and left Wall Street at twelve.

"Boss, where are you going?" Andy, the driver, asked in a whisper.

Wall Street is located in the southern part of Manhattan Island and is geographically conceptually part of Lower Manhattan.

"Let's go to 357 West 17th Street in Downtown." After thinking about it, Abel said softly.

The driver, Andy, suddenly understood in his heart, answered softly, tapped the steering wheel, and drove onto the road.

In the daytime,

Manhattan Island is congested, full of cars and people.

At night, the streets are also very congested.

But once it was late at night, the streets of Manhattan, which had been congested before, suddenly became spacious.

With fewer cars, fewer people.

This is not to say that people here don't go out at 12 o'clock.

Although the beautiful scenery here is almost every day, it is not so serious.

This is so because the New York subway runs twenty-four hours a day.

But after 12 o'clock, many areas will be closed.

Among them, the most stops are the stops and routes on Manhattan Island.

In addition, the residences, rents, hotels, etc., on the island, are not at all affordable for the working class.

It's night, the traffic is inconvenient, and there is no place to live.

If you don't go home, why stay on the street?

So late at night, Manhattan Island will naturally stop being congested.

It takes half an hour to drive during the day and less than ten minutes late at night.

357 West 17th Street in Lower Manhattan, New York, is here soon.

This is a 6-storey, 5-bedroom, 12.5-bathroom townhouse.

With an interior area of 11,000 square feet, the monthly property tax alone costs $13,500 per month.

Judging from the property tax, it is known that this house is expensive and belongs to the luxury house.

It is strategically located in the heart of the southern part of Manhattan's Chelsea district.

Surrounded by some of the most fabulous restaurants, bars, cafes and shops in New York City.

It can be regarded as Manhattan, a place full of lights and wine, full of literary and artistic atmosphere.

The first floor is divided into two rooms, left and right, and on the left is a garage that can park two cars.

Inside the garage, a beautiful yellow Beetle has been parked.

On the right is the brass alloy entrance door, which has traces left by wind and rain, and looks very quaint

Black Maybach 62s and black Lincoln City, slowly stopping in front of the villa.

In the Lincoln city car behind, Lincoln, a black bodyguard, stepped down, came to the brass gate of the villa and rang the doorbell.

Soon a voice sounded on an electronic device next to the brass door: "Who?" ”

“963761。”

Lincoln said calmly.

The electronics fell silent, creaked, and the heavy brass door slowly opened.

A white man in a suit with a serious face appeared behind the door.

"Steve, good evening." Lincoln greets.

"Good evening, Lincoln." Bodyguard Steve responded as he looked at the two cars behind Lincoln.

"The boss is coming?"

"Yes." Lincoln shrugged.

At this time, the other three bodyguards had already determined the safety of the surroundings.

Abel got out of the car and walked straight over.

"Good evening, Steve." He said with a smile.

In the face of Lincoln, Steve was able to remain calm.

Faced with the person who paid his salary, Steve hurriedly responded: "Good evening, boss." ”

Abel walked in and asked casually, "Is Jessica resting?" ”

"You might want to ask Mary on the second floor. I stayed on the ground floor all the time and was in charge of outside security. She is responsible for indoor security. Steve said.

"Understood."

In the entrance lounge, Abel patted Steve on the shoulder, then walked to the escalator.

The four bodyguards outside, Edward and Lin, walked in and stayed on the first floor with Steve.

Lincoln and David got into two cars and watched the two drivers find a place to park.

Manhattan at night was quiet, and along the escalator, Able walked up.
