How much money does Abel have.

Not to mention George, Neil and Jeb are also curious about this issue at this time.

People have a desire for voyeurism, and they are naturally curious about the privacy of others.

That's why the gossip media has been able to exist and has always been alive and well.

Identities such as the Jeb brothers are the same, at most, they are the privacy of others who make them curious, and the level is just a little higher.

All three of the bush brothers stared at Abel.

Facing the eyes of the father-in-law, as well as the brothers.

Abel raised an eyebrow and said a number.

「ha！」

Hearing this number, George's voice suddenly became louder.

"What are you kidding? Are you kidding me, Abel, a lot of people are saying I'm not smart, but you're not like that, are you?"

Neil and Jeb were beside him, looking at George helplessly.

Jeb couldn't help but say:

"George, be mindful of the occasion and your identity. My brother, you're not a Texas governor or a businessman now."

"Ahem, ahem~"

George coughed lightly, "Okay, okay. I'm out of shape."

Then he stared at Abel with an unkind gaze, "Hey, Abel, are you sure you're not kidding us?"

"No."

Abel said with a smile, "Warren Buffett and PNC Financial Group have both invested in Smith Capital. 4% stake for $16 billion. Smith Capital, now has a market capitalization of $400 billion."

"I own 92% of Smith Capital. I said that I have a net worth of more than $360 billion, am I not wrong?"

"Uh" George lost his words.

Because according to Abel's statement, Abel is not wrong when he says so.

Most of the wealthy Americans, especially those who own shares in public companies.

Most of their wealth is also in the stock market or valuation.

Typical like last year's richest man in the world, Bill Gates.

Mr. William Henry Gates III, more than 80% of his wealth is stocks.

"Okay." Abel looked at George's speechlessness and didn't know how to continue to ask.

Abel smiled and said, "$360 billion is virtual. But to be honest, I don't know how much wealth I have."

"Really?" George was a little unconvinced.

Who wouldn't know how much money they have.

Like George himself, he lived in a white house. But George is still very clear about how much he has a net worth.

"Really." Abel said sincerely, "I only know an approximate number at most, and I don't know if it's accurate or not."

At this time, Neil, who had been watching from the sidelines and did not speak from beginning to end, little Laura's father, finally couldn't help it.

"Hey, Abel. Approximate numbers are also available. This is a question that we are not only curious about. All Americans are curious." Neil said.

Abel didn't actually want to hide it, because even if he didn't say it, Forbes would say it in a few months.

Forbes' numbers may not be that accurate, but a rough estimate can be estimated.

The company of the Koch brothers, who did not look at the people, was not listed, and the wealth under them was too much to count.

Forbes still got them on the list.

It may not be accurate, but the approximate number is still about the same.

Abel felt that with the current situation of himself and the Smith family, properly showing his wealth was showing his muscles.

Smith is not the richest man on the Internet and high-tech like Musk and Bill.

Abel's wealth, in addition to finance.

Either in the media or in energy, there is only one military industry and people's livelihood missing.

These industries are all influential muscle industries in the United States.

This and only loud sound

The Internet is different.

After thinking about it, Abel made a rough calculation against the three brothers.

"I have several companies. The value of Smith Capital is the most difficult to estimate."

"Don't count it yet, let it go. Let's start with Smith Media. Smith Media has MGM, Marvel, DreamWorks, Pixar, Dark Horse Comics, two newspapers, a TV station, and a modeling agency."

"With so many assets, the market value should be at least $15 billion, right? If it can be listed, it is estimated that it can be doubled? Even if it doesn't double, it should be more than $20 billion, and it's $15 billion."

Speaking of this, Abel smiled and said to George, who was listening very seriously:

"Can you help me remember this?"

"Oh, no problem." George held up two fingers and curled one of them, "One finger is ten billion dollars, and one and a half fingers are 15 billion dollars."

Watching the boring interaction between the Grand Commander and Abel.

Neil and Jeb couldn't help but glance at each other.

While the two felt helpless, they were shocked by Abel's amazing wealth.

> 100 million US dollars media group

This part alone is much more than the wealth of the Bush family.

Last year's richest man in the world, Bill Gates, Forbes announced a net worth of $63 billion.

More than eighty percent of Bill's $63 billion net worth are Microsoft stocks.

The wealth that Bill can really get out of his hands will be cut in half at least.

It's even worse when you count cash flow.

> 100 million dollars, which is already a quarter of Bill's wealth.

This is just a part of the net worth of the young people in front of them.

The two shrubs were in a lot of thoughts.

The other shrub is still a little childish with Abel and continues to count Abel's wealth.

"The value of Smith Capital is difficult to measure. But the American Pacific Commercial Bank, its value is visible to the naked eye. I don't remember the exact number either. It seems that its own assets are about $15 billion, and its assets under custody are about $180 billion." Abel said.

Pacific Commercial Bank started out as a small bank in California.

It has a total of only two branches and a property of several hundred million dollars.

Later, in the frenzy of small bank annexation initiated by Abel, it was acquired by Abel.

And because Abel likes this name more, he uses it as the main body and continues to annex small and medium-sized commercial banks.

After spending Abel, almost about $15 billion in cash.

In the U.S. banking world, there is one more medium-sized bank.

After almost half a year of development.

The reason for Abel, the "financial Moses," has grown tremendously in all aspects.

Own assets have grown from about $13 billion at the beginning to about $15 billion now.

The assets under custody have risen from almost 100 billion US dollars to almost 200 billion US dollars now.

The main reason is that many wealthy Americans believe in Abel and trust Pacific Bank in the United States.

In addition, the interest is also good, and many people have entrusted their assets to the side of Pacific Commercial Bank.

But George didn't care about that, and George just raised three fingers.

"That's 15 billion. Two $15 billion is $30 billion."

Abel nodded, and then said:

"There's also a Pacific Energy. The predecessor was the Sampura Energy one. I spent almost $17 billion on it. Before its delisting, it had a market capitalization of around $16 billion. But then I had it swallow up my original energy company, and I think it's worth at least $18 billion now."

In fact, the acquisition of Sampura Energy, Abel used only more than $7 billion in funds.

Most of them

The funds are all from the Pacific Commercial Bank.

Up to now, most of the shares of Pacific Energy Company are still pledged in Pacific Commercial Bank.

Pacific Energy now has to repay a large loan from Pacific Commercial Bank every month.

This kind of acquisition model is one of the most common in modern business society.

In the last century, Da Liu on Hong Kong Island liked to play this set the most.

It is to take loans from banks, buy and snipe listed companies.

Once successful, let the listed company repay the loan to buy it itself.

In ancient times, this was equivalent to a landlord borrowing money from a money bank to marry a concubine by virtue of his own credit.

After marrying the concubine back, the landlord wanted the concubine to work hard to make money and repay the loan shark while being cool.

That's probably the case with this model.

Abel did the same, the difference was that he borrowed money from his bank to buy himself a "concubine".

As long as his bank can be maintained normally, there is no run.

Compared to Da Liu, Abel will come more safely.

At least the "little concubine" he bought in this way doesn't have to worry about being pulled to the market for auction because he hasn't repaid several installments of loans

George still didn't care about this, and directly raised two more fingers:

"$18 billion, that's too hard to calculate. Count it into 20 billion. That's six fingers, six billion dollars."

Abel was about to speak, but George turned at him and put down six fingers.

The owner of the white house said in a quiet voice:

"Say no more. With $60 billion, you are already the richest man in the world on the surface. Besides, my heart is going to hurt."

"Actually, there are." Abel said:

"I also have a real estate company. There's also an airplane and yacht charter company, and a lot of private properties, shares, and a lot of venture capital in Silicon Valley, and the most valuable Smith Capital."

"Forget it." George waved at him, "I'm not interested in how much money you have. Needless to say."

Looking at the little shrub's happy appearance, Able couldn't help but laugh.

Abel found the owner of the white house more and more interesting.

With George, Abel will feel relaxed physically and mentally.

In him, Abel didn't feel any shelf.

Abel didn't know if it was George's nature or if he was pretending to be a skill.

Or both.

But this kind of George bush did make Abel much less wary of him.

"Alright." George raised his hand and looked at the time of the watch on his wrist.

"It's almost half-past nine. I'm going to work, and I'm going to meet with the Armenian Commander later. I can't stay here with you anymore."

Neil and Jeb, as well as Abel, nodded.

The Commander-in-Chief of the United States is still very busy at times.

George smiled and nodded to the three of them one last time, turned to leave, but did not take two steps before he turned back to Abel and said with a smile:

"Mr. the richest man in the world, remember to come to the DC District more often in the future. It's a hundred times more fun to talk to you than it is to talk to Jeb."

Jeb: "."

Abel didn't speak, but smiled and gave him an OK gesture.

George also smiled back with an OK gesture, then put his hands in his pockets and left in style.

The sun was creeping up, and it was a little hot on the lawn.

The other members of the Bush family, after George left, went into the house one after another.

Neil and the proposal went back to the room.

Abel suddenly had an idea, and he whispered to Jeb and Neil:

"There's one thing I don't know about the two of you. I don't know if the two elders are interested."

"Oh?" Neil looked at Abel, "What's the matter?"

at

After George left, Jeb, who was about to leave, stopped.

The governor of Florida is just as busy.

But after learning about Abel's general wealth, Jeb also became willing to listen to Abel.

in this country.

In a way, wealth is power, energy.

Wealth is muscle.

"Hmm," Abel thought for a moment, and after a moment of deliberation, he spoke, "Dear John and Neil."

John is actually Jeb's name.

Jebb, short for his full name, John Ellis Bush, is his nickname.

After seeing that both of them were staring at him, Abel spoke:

"I don't know if you've ever heard of Hudson's Bay Yards on Manhattan Island, New York?"

That's right, Abel wants to push Hudson's Bay Yards again.

Just like Abel said to Bloomberg and Robert Morgenthau.

In the financial and capital markets, the harvest is no matter how great the success.

Abel has no sense of accomplishment anymore.

But in other industries, such as the media industry, and even filmmaking.

Success in these areas where he has no "talent" is what gives him a sense of accomplishment and happiness.

Under this premise, what happiness could be greater than that of building a spectacular real estate project on the island of Manhattan?

He wants to build the tallest building in the United States in the most luxurious property on Manhattan Island, and write Smith in the most eye-catching place of the building!

It is out of this psychology that Abel attaches so much importance to the Hudson's Bay City Plaza project.

Just now when George was leaving, he happened to think about it.

As soon as George left, he thought about trying to talk to Neil and Jeb.

Take a look at the shrub family and see if there is any interest in this mega project.

"Hudson's Bay Place?" Jeb frowned.

The Florida governor, who hadn't been to New York in years, didn't remember where Hudson's Bay was for a moment.

"That Hudson Bay on Manhattan?" Neil said from the side.

Neil is now the chairman of the Zapata Offshore Oil Company and the managing director of the Bush Overbe Oil Company.

These two companies were founded by their fathers.

He and his younger brother, Marvin, are currently in charge of the Bush family's business.

As a businessman, the main base though is in Texas and other oil-producing states.

But New York, a cosmopolitan city, is the commercial center of the United States.

Neil also goes there a lot, so he naturally knows it well.

What's more, Hudson's Bay itself is famous in the United States, and Jeb just didn't remember it for a while.

Able smiled and nodded to the two bushes, "It's Hudson's Bay over there in Manhattan."

"What do you mean?" Neil said with some uncertainty.

"I don't know if you've heard of it." Abel smiled and said:

"A mega project on the southern tip of Manhattan Island, a real estate project on Hudson's Bay City Square."

Jeb looked at Neil, the governor of Florida who knew Hudson Bay by now.

But Neil, who has been in Texas and Florida for a long time, doesn't know anything about New York.

Neil apparently knows some.

"Are you referring to the project that was put on hold by the New York City government?" Neil said, "Those dozen hectares of land next to Hudson Bay?"

"Yes." Abel smiled. It would be great if Neil had known.

It would be a waste of time for him to explain carefully to the two of them.

Neil thought for a moment, then frowned and said:

"If it's this project, it's not easy at all. There's so much to cover, and no one can really make it a reality."

Abel nodded in agreement, but he added:

"But I'm making the impossible possible right now. And now I am

I have some allies, and these allies are powerful people in New York."

"For example?" Neil asked.

"For example, the candidate of the Elephant Party in this year's New York election, the founder of Bloomberg, Bloomberg."

"For example, the Grand Attorney for the Manhattan District of New York, Robert Morgenthau."

"For example, the Wall Street giant, the famous Mr. Abel Smith~"

The two shrubs who listened attentively heard Abel introduce himself so solemnly behind him.

Even Jeb was a little embarrassed, and Neil even smiled and said:

"Is it just the three of you? Three people may not be enough."

Jeb had listened for so long and had figured out what was going on.

This kind of thing is also good for Jeb, because the interests of the bush family are one.

Their family and intra-clan relationships are too good.

Jeb and George can concentrate on their careers.

The two younger brothers are in charge of business, and they will also reassure the brothers.

Jeb patted his brother on the shoulder, and said to Abel:

"Business things. As long as Neil or Marven agrees. That means the shrub family agrees. Abel, talk to Neil. I'm going back to Florida first."

"Okay." Able smiled and nodded.

Jeb smiled kindly at him and patted his brother on the shoulder before leaving.

"Alright." When Jeb was gone, only little Laura's father and Abel were left in the shade. Abel said, "Dear Neil, are you interested?"

Neil pondered for a moment, not giving a clear answer, but asked, "What is the success rate?"

"Very high." Abel was sure.

In parallel time and space, since the Hudson's Bay City Square project can be established.

That means it's more or less feasible.

Even if it can't be done now, it can be realized in the future with the passage of time, as in parallel time and space.

Seeing Abel's affirmation, Neil felt that he was not very good at refusing.

After thinking about it, little Laura's father responded:

"I need to talk to Marven about it. In fact, the business of the bush family is more handled by him."

Able smiled, "No problem."

For Abel, it's good that the shrub family can enter.

But the shrub family didn't enter, and it didn't hurt Abel much.

After all, the home of the bush family is in Texas, and they don't have a lot of noise over there in New York.

If George hadn't lived in the White House now, he probably wouldn't have had a chance to contact the Bush family.

Because New York is not the territory of the bush family in the first place.

After chatting about business, Abel suddenly asked about a private matter.

"That's right. Neil." Abel said softly:

"Lauren said you were going to stay in Washington for a few days, so how about she stay here with you for a few days?"

"Huh?" Neil said, "No? We'll be gone later. Marvin went to England, and the Texas side can't do without me, so I have to go back to the town."

"Oh." Able smiled, "I guess I misheard."
