"You shouldn't have said those things to him like that."

Neil Bush glanced at Davis Brown, who had left with a wooden face, and Abel's father-in-law wanted to chase after him.

Abel suddenly stopped him, "Neil."

"Huh?" Neil Bush stopped, but looked at Davis Brown, who was walking towards the other crowd.

"Next year my father is going to run for the House of Representatives. How about you run for governor of Texas?"

Hearing his words, Neil Bush stepped forward and slowly retracted it.

George's younger brother gradually turned his gaze from Davis Brown in the distance to Abel.

"What are you talking about? Did I hear me right?" Neil Bush turned his head and looked at Abel.

It's in their own self-interest. At this time, little Laura's father didn't say that he was going to keep up with Davis Brown.

"What I'm saying is, how about you come to the Texas gubernatorial election next year?" Abel smiled.

The current governor of Texas is Rick Perry.

Rick Perry was originally George's deputy.

The other governors, county magistrates, and mayors in the United States are the same as the presidents.

In the event of the death of the Commander-in-Chief during his term of office or if he is unable to perform his duties due to other reasons, he will be replaced by his deputy.

Former Texas Governor George resigned as governor of Texas last December because of his successful election as commander-in-chief.

Rick Perry, his deputy, became the new governor of Texas.

But Rick Perry will only be in office for two years, and a new governor will be decided in the midterm elections at the end of next year.

Looking at Abel, Neil Bush whispered:

"George, and my father. They're all optimistic about Rick Perry, and they all think I'm a little young."

"Where are you young? Rick Perry is only four years older than you." Abel whispered:

"As for Herbert and George. I think if you can stand up, they will change their minds."

Neil Bush was silent.

This shrub third is spinning his mind quickly at this moment, thinking about the possibility of his ascendancy.

As for what Davis Brown cares about him, he has Herbert and Abel to give him a headache.

Rick Perry is undoubtedly a formidable opponent.

This is the son of a native Texas farmer.

Except that there isn't a dad with a wide range of friends like Alex.

Many of Rick Perry's previous experiences were very similar to Alexander's.

The difference is that Alexander stays on the farm all the time.

Perry was elected to the Texas House of Representatives fifteen years ago, defeated Donkey Party Hywarda in his 1991 run for Texas Agriculture Commissioner, and served until 1998.

In '9, he successfully ran for lieutenant governor and became George's deputy. After George's resignation, he became a real governor.

In addition to changing the court once in the middle, from the Donkey Party to the Elephant Party, he was criticized by his hometown.

Rick Perry can be said to have had a smooth ride.

In Texas, the place where the elephant party is stronghold.

Rick Perry has deep roots and a very strong party. internal base and voter base.

Basically, it can be said that if the bush does not come out and he chooses.

Rick Perry will likely win next year because the bushes are backing him.

I thought about it for a long time, maybe a few minutes.

Neil Bush smiled wryly, "I don't think that's good. My father and George might support me, but that would force Rick Perry away from us."

Whether it's an elephant or a donkey, the interior is always mountainous.

Only occasionally do they unite in the face of an enemy in a general election.

But when competing for interests internally, there is nothing to talk about.

Rick Perry used to rely on shrubs to support his position, and now he is also shrubs

Texas' No. 1 horse boy is not fake.

But he already has his own basic camp.

If Bush came out to snatch his crown now, Rick Perry would have joined the other Elephant Party's inner camp.

Although the shrub is now very powerful in the Elephant Party, it has never been a monopoly situation.

If Neil Bush really came out to grab it, even if Herbert and George supported him.

That will also make the bush family directly lose one general, and one more new enemy in the party.

And even if that's the case, Neil Bush won't necessarily be able to beat Rick Perry.

Who is called before this, the four brothers of the bush family have a clear positioning.

The eldest and second are upright, and the younger third and fourth are in business.

Looking at Neil Bush's performance, Able laughed.

Abel actually knew about the situation in Texas.

He said that to Neil Bush tonight, but it was not pure vindictiveness.

He had another side of the equation.

Now that Neil Bush was self-aware, Able whispered, "So. . . How about a different place?"

"Huh?"

"It doesn't have to be in Texas. Of the 50 states in the United States, 36 will re-elect governors next year. Excluding Texas, there are thirty-five other states."

Neil Bush whispered, "You mean to run for other states?"

"Of course." Abel looked at his father-in-law, "Jeb and George can be governors of Florida and Texas at the same time. Then why can't you be the governor of the United States with Jeb?"

Neil Bush was finally interested, and he didn't care about Davis Brown.

He walked up to Abel and looked at Abel with blazing eyes.

"What do you mean?"

"California or New York." Abel whispered, "Especially California. What do you think?"

"California," Neil Bush thought.

Abel smiled beside him, and little Laura snuggled sweetly up to him.

Her future husband and father are now intimately discussing such matters.

For little Laura, who came from a family like shrubs, nothing made her happier than this kind of thing.

And this scene fell into the eyes of Alexander next to him, which made the old father very emotional.

I feel that my young son is now trying to influence the gubernatorial election.

The point is that if he says this kind of thing, someone like Neil Bush who comes from a family can think hard about it.

This means that at least Neil Bush thinks that what Abel said is a certain possibility.

Otherwise, if it was just an ordinary young man or a rich man, Neil Bush would never look like this.

"California isn't as good as other conservative states."

Neil Bush thought for a moment, shook his head slightly, and said, "California is too blue."

In the United States, there are red states and blue states, red is the state that supports the Elephant Party, and blue is the state that supports the Donkey Party.

In the past, California has always been crimson.

Because in the past, California, which had excellent geographical and climatic conditions, was very similar to the situation in Texas.

It was mainly based on the economy of large farmers that some industry did not appear until the 20s and 30s.

Gradually, the situation began to change drastically in the 70s and 80s.

At that time, California's Silicon Valley, which was dominated by Internet technology and semiconductor technology, began to rise.

Since then, California has become the most attractive place in the whole of the United States for foreign immigrants.

With the increasing number of immigrants. Gradually, from the early 90s, the red states began to turn blue.

By now, California is a solid blue state.

Although the Elephant Party is not without supporters in it, it is not as strong as in the Red State.

Shrub home

The clan has no foundation there, and when they go there, they must first make deals, make peace with the local elephant party, and negotiate with them.

Time was so tight that Neil Bush felt that it was impossible to finish.

Seeing that Neil Bush was still a little cowardly, Abel was not discouraged.

There is already a George top in front.

Whether it's Alexander or Neil, there's plenty of time to develop secretly.

Don't be in a hurry, it's useless to be in a hurry.

Abel smiled and said, "How about a later conversation with George and Jeb?"

Neil Bush knew what he meant.

"No problem." Neil Bush, "But for now, I'd better go and appease Davis Brown. He's probably angry right now."

Able smiled and shrugged, signaling him to be casual.

Neil Bush nodded at him, smiled and greeted the Alexanders, looked at his daughter again, and then left to find Davis Brown.

When little Laura's father was gone, Abel looked at him with a smile.

"Daddy, are you scared?"

「？」

"Your son, you just upset the greatest power in Texas."

"What's that?" Alexander's voice was deep, "I'll always have your back. I'm sure Alex is here tonight, and he'll be happy to hear what you can say."

"I thought you were scared. That's a Texas consortium after all." Abel said with a smile.

"If you're just a useless hairy boy. Of course we would be scared if we were to be targeted by such a behemoth."

Alexander said, "But like you said. You're a consortium yourself, and Smith can say no to others."

Alexander, with the exception of his farm workers, was very irritable and spoke loudly.

At other times, he speaks in this way.

There are few expressions on the face, but they always give people a calm and calm look.

"Kid. It's like your father said. We will always have your back." Emily stood next to her bear-like husband and chuckled at her own child.

Little Laura next to Abel hurriedly whispered, "Me too!"

"Haha~" Abel chuckled softly.

The drinking party continued.

It wasn't until more than two hours later, after 10 o'clock, that it officially ended.

As one of the marrying families of the Bush family, the Smith family and several other families were the latest to leave.

People such as Pierce, Walker, the Lahr family, and so on, all gathered in the first lady's living room of the White House.

There were too many people this time, plus the people of the bush family, there were more than thirty.

The First Lady could not stay in her living room, and then the Welsh lady organized the separation of relatives and guests into several waves.

Ladies and girls and girls continued to stay in the First Lady's living room.

Young boys, men, went out for a walk.

Older men or those who want to talk about things go to Lincoln's office or simply go to the Oval Office of the Commander-in-Chief.

According to Abel's age, he should have gone for a walk outside in the garden or somewhere with George Prescott and Marvin Walker.

His identity and status, however, led him to the Oval Office of the Grand Commander.

And the people who went here plus Abel, there were only four.

They are George, Neil, Jeb, and Abel.

Not even Marvin Bush went.

The fourth eldest of the bush family beckoned the others to Lincoln's office.

Said George, they want to talk, and come over here to meet everyone later.

Among the other important members of the family who are friendly with the shrub family, there are various emotions in their eyes.

Abel calmly accompanied the three George brothers to the famous oval round office.

This office is definitely the interior room that appears most in front of the camera and the public in the entire white house.

It's the room where all the American commanders take a lot of photos.

In the room, after they entered, there were only four of them left.

Everyone else was kicked out.

"California."

As soon as he entered, George sat down in his position as commander.

He asked Abel with interest, "That's not easy at all. I think it's harder than competing in Texas and Rick."

Seeing George say this, Abel immediately understood that his father-in-law had probably told his two brothers about what he just said.

This let Abel know that the relationship between the bush brothers is really good.

Neil Bush was able to discuss such matters directly with his two brothers.

Facing the scrutinizing gaze of the current governor of the bush family, a great commander, and his own father-in-law.

Able spread his hands, "You probably all know. I have some influence in California."

The three bush brothers all nodded involuntarily.

Abel is not lying.

Because in their opinion, Abel's influence in California is more influential than Abel's hometown of Texas.

The reason is simple, because California is the core headquarters of the high-tech, Internet, film and television media and other economies.

Abel's Smith Media headquarters is in New York, but the actual office and operation location are basically in California.

Like MGM, it's a big company in California in its own right.

In addition, Abel is also the largest shareholder of Google, which is now gaining a higher position in California.

He also has California's energy giants Pacific Energy and California Pacific Electric.

Together, these two energy companies account for more than two-thirds of California's electricity and natural gas supply.

In addition to these, Abel has also taken a large number of shares in Silicon Valley companies and has become a shareholder of Microsoft, Apple, Cisco, Intel, AMD and other large companies.

Taken together, these companies have made him one of the biggest names behind California.

In fact, it is already more powerful than his influence in New York.

After all, in New York, his influence is limited to one city.

But in California, his tentacles have spread throughout California.

"Say what you think." Among the four bush brothers, Jeb, who is most like his old father in terms of personality and appearance, said.

"That's what I think." Abel took a deep breath, and then spoke:

"Neal obviously can't go straight to California like this. My idea is to make Neil the chairman and CEO of Pacific Electric in California, and by the way, a director of General Electric, a director of Microsoft, and a director of Cisco."

He came up with titles that ordinary Americans didn't even dare to fantasize about.

Among these titles, even most of the American upper echelons are difficult to get one.

For example, General Electric's board position.

According to the company's rules, no one who holds more than 2 percent of the company's shares, not even the U.S. Commander-in-Chief, can get this position.

And 2% of GE's stake is now worth $7 billion.

But these positions, Abel can add them to his father-in-law in general.

This made George and Jeb can't help but look at each other. Both brothers remembered that the kid in front of them was the richest man in the world.

Jeb and George, who also had daughters, complained about their daughters in their hearts at this time.

complained about why they couldn't be picked by their father, but it was the younger Laura who was chosen.

Fortunately, he is the richest man in the world, and now he is also the own person of the shrub family.

The two brothers looked at their younger brother, who was already laughing, and only then could they hold back for the time being.

Abel is unaware of their mental activity, and he continues to elaborate on himself by pushing Neil Fill

Wood on stage ideas.

"Neil went to California first and worked for a while. When the right opportunity arises next year, whether it is to come out first to elect a governor or a member of the House of Representatives, I think I have a certain certainty."

After listening to Abel's thoughts, Jeb and George discussed.

"What do you think, Jeb?"

"There is some feasibility, but it is very difficult. That's the home of Shriver and Kenlingdy."

"Are they really sure they want to push that actor to the top?"

"What's this? Li Gen is also an actor. What's more, California is still the home of Hollywood, and if you are an actor, you can get more support."

"That's a real problem."

"Why don't we ask Neil? That's what matters most to him. Oh, yes, and our father!"

The eldest brother is the commander, the second brother is the governor, and both of them look at the third brother, Neil.

"Me"

Neil Bush, who was watched by the two big brothers, was a little nervous.

He looked at his two brothers, and then at Abel who was smiling next to him.

Neil Bush gritted his teeth, "I want to try. I think it would be nice to have a different living environment."

Jeb couldn't help but say, "But that's what happened. Our family's business is going to be pressed on Marven. Maybe ask him for his opinion too."

"Let's do it."

George, the eldest brother, made a decision for his brothers - to push it on his father.

"Christmas is two months away. When the time comes, everybody's going back to Texas, oh, Abel, you're too."

The Grand Commander smiled and said, "By the way, let's talk about you and little Laura. In the meantime, let's talk about Neil and you, we all see what my father thinks, how about it?"

"I think that's good." Jeb commented.

Neil Bush didn't hesitate and nodded slightly.

They all decided this way for themselves, and Abel naturally had nothing to do.

To be honest, Abel didn't know if Neil Bush was up to the task.

But pushing the old man to power has always been an important step in Abel's three-legged plan.

Take advantage of the important midterm elections next year.

He thought about pushing his father and Neil to try to see if he could do it or not, but whether he could do it or not was another matter.

As for the one in New York.

Now the U.S. economy is okay, and the devil has not yet appeared.

The red-necked and non-speaking majority are not yet likely to support that one.

This one in New York, Abel decided to keep it as a killer feature.

In case there is no way to stop the old black horse from coming to power in the future, the United States will still have that kind of social division under the general trend.

That's when the New York guy stepped in.

Now, Abel means two steps.

An old father continued in Texas, consolidating the fundamentals and the military, energy, and industrial complexes.

Another old man went to California to unite the new engine of the American economy.

Either side can be successful, it will be a tiger for him.
