Can Emily take on this responsibility?

Or whether she wants it or not, that's the question.

Abel thought about it for a long time.

In the end, he decided to let the headhunter find some professionals first.

Let the real professionals, to do this to be a multinational transoceanic agricultural company, first integrate the early structure.

Even if Emily really has the ability, that's for later.

From Emily, Abel also thought about what he should let little Laura do in the future.

He thought maybe he could let little Laura and Emily take care of Smith Agriculture.

But that's all for later.

Little Arya, she was born around eleven o'clock on November 21, 2001.

Abel stayed at home until the 29th.

He had planned to leave again on the seventh or eighth of next month.

After accompanying the mother and daughter for more than half a month, he felt that he had fulfilled his duties as a father and husband.

Later, Abel plans to go to New York and deal with some things.

For example, in 2001, Yin Lizabeth's Christmas Eve show.

When the show is done, I'll come back to Texas for Christmas.

After Christmas.l.

It's his engagement to little Laura.

Available on November 30th.

He got a phone call.

The call was from little Laura's great-uncle, George Bush.

George invites him to Crawford Farm.

Crawford's farm was the same farm where Abel first met little Laura last year.

It was George's own private farm, and it was the home of George's own small family.

Abel didn't know what he had asked him to do.

But in public and private, the little bush beckoned him, and Abel decided to go over.

Abel himself is in Texas, so it's easy to get there by car or plane.

He agreed to George's invitation and thought of going by helicopter.

George said no, and told him to wait.

About two hours later, a huge black helicopter appeared over Smith Farm.

Abel knew that it was a helicopter sent by George to pick him up.

"UH-60 utility helicopter, Air Force One version."

Seeing that the boss was a little curious about the helicopter that landed, Edward, the former leader of the Navy SEAL team, whispered:

"Its civilian version is Sikorsky's S-70 helicopter. There are many models of this aircraft, and there are six or seven versions in our country alone. According to the relevant regulations, when the Commander-in-Chief needs to use a helicopter, he will generally choose it."

Abel nodded.

He saw that the person who got off the plane was the military attache of the White House. He was also in charge of George's security, and George's personal guard captain Mickenson.

At Mikson's beckoning, Abel sits on a helicopter version of Air Force One.

Now, of course, it can't be called Air Force One.

According to the relevant regulations, in fact, what kind of transportation George takes, that thing will become "XX No. 1".

Helicopter.

He was accompanied by Abel's Four King Kongs, as well as two civilian helicopters of Rock Security's own.

The fleet, led by the helicopter version of Air Force One, soon took off from Smith Farms.

About two hours after the flight. ….

Crawford's farm, owned by George himself, is already in sight.

Flew for another ten minutes.

From a long distance, Abel's excellent sight had already made him see George and his wife, Lady Wales, who were looking at the clearing of the farm.

The plane landed and came to a standstill.

Abel came down from above, and he smiled as he walked over to Mr. and Mrs. George.

Wait for him to come over.

George laughed and opened his hands and hugged him.

"Congratulations, Abel. Congratulations on having your daughter. I know what it's like to be a first-time father. When Barbara and Jenna were born, I couldn't have been happier. I ran out into the hallway of the hospital and yelled at everyone that I was a dad!"

"If it weren't for everybody understanding the joy of a new father. Maybe I'll be sent to the psychiatric department at that time, haha~"

George smiled so happily that the happy Abel almost thought that his first child was born to George's niece Laura.

On the plane just now, Abel had thought about the reason why George was looking for him.

Among them is the possibility of little Laura's related aspects.

Now look at George like this.

Abel wondered if George had called him over. Is it really because he gave birth to an illegitimate daughter, and he wants justice for little Laura?

Otherwise, how could it be such an opening statement?

Thinking in his heart, Abel's face was indistinguishable, and he smiled and nodded, "Yes. I'm pretty much the same."

The joy was there, but not as exaggerated as George said.

Abel, who already knows George's character, knows that this guy sometimes speaks exaggeratedly.

To be honest, Abel felt that if it were not for Herbert, there would be the support of the military-industrial complex group.

With George's own ability, Abel really didn't think he could live in a white house.

In Abel's view, George's greatest strength is that he is very approachable and easy to gain the favor of others.

This makes the people who do things for him like him very much, but in terms of IQ and EQ, this gentleman is really average.

For example, in terms of IQ.

Not to mention the stable strength of C and D all year round when he was studying.

Not to mention the fact that when he was young, he was measured to have an IQ of 90.

In fact, if you look at his live speeches in public places, you will find that George often has a lot of low-level mistakes of "not being able to turn the corner".

He is also one of the most funny scenes in the US Commander-in-General.

Unlike the bohemian debauchery caused by Aga's crazy fan, George's shot is obviously a bit dumb......

Speaking of emotional intelligence, the current relationship and cooperation between Abel and the bush family are high.

No matter how you look at it.

At this time, it is not suitable to talk to Abel and talk about things related to little Arya.

Letting this go like this is actually the best option.

But as soon as Abel came, he used this as an opening statement.

Abel is thick-skinned, and his emotional intelligence has gradually been exercised, so he didn't hear it.

If it were someone else, it was estimated that I would be unhappy at this time.

Fortunately, there was a wife next to George, and his wife, Lady Wales, was a smart person.

She immediately digressed from the subject, and said to Abel and George with a smile:

"What are you talking about? George, you asked Abel to come over and invite him to hunt with him, and to taste the Texas sausages I made!" ….

"Oh oh oh! Yes, yes, yes!" George suddenly realized, smiled and said, "I was so happy to see Abelis that I forgot."

He said these words as if he were not at all hypocritical.

Abel could only smile beside him, guessing in his heart the purpose of the couple letting him come.

The couple invited Abel into the room, brewed coffee, and chatted.

The content of the chat, mainly related to Abel and Little Laura. Ms. Wales was in charge of the conversation, but she didn't go much deeper.

did not mention the specific arrangements for the marriage of the two, the content and atmosphere of the chat seemed to be a family affair.

I have to say that Ms. Wales's ability makes Abel feel very comfortable in chatting.

Coupled with George's kind and easy-going temperament, it is indeed easy for the couple to make friends.

After chatting for a while, George actually proposed that he and Abel go to cut the cedars and clear the bushes.

"Christmas is coming. Light snow on the farm

The pine grows too much. We're going to cut them down and have them pulled to town to give to the townspeople, and I think they'll be happy."

Abel thought that George wanted to take the opportunity to cut cedars together and talk to him about some in-depth topics.

He readily agreed.

The two of them were literally under the protective gaze of a Secret Service agent and the Rock Security bodyguards.

Carrying an axe, I went to the woods where the farm specializes in planting trees to cut wood.

To Abel's surprise, George didn't talk to him about any in-depth topics at all.

In the woods, the two are really like lumberjacks, farm workers, focusing on cutting trees.

By the way, I also cleaned up the shrubs that were in the way.

This kind of manual work, Abel doesn't know how many years he hasn't done it.

Not to mention his rich life after being reborn.

Even before he was reborn, it had been a long, long time since he had been so close to nature, or had worked with physical labor.

Fortunately, he has a strong physique, which is useful when doing exercise, and it is also useful when doing this kind of farm work.

George, who was in his fifties, was so tired that he was out of breath and sweating after cutting for a while.

Abel swung the axe so hard that he didn't sweat a few drops.

That kind of physical energy.

George was stunned by the sight, and the eyes of the Secret Service agents were straight.

This kind of physical strength is also too exaggerated.

"You're so good at this point. Barbara and Jenner, plus the three of me, combined. It's not as fast as you alone."

George said from the side.

"The axe is broken." Abel threw the axe on the ground, and it had been rotted by Abel's chopping blade.

George looked back at the sun outside the woods, and it was already a little westerly.

He then proposed, "Then go back." I've cut down so many cedars, and it's enough for the townspeople."

Crawford is a real town with a few hundred people.

Abel smiled and nodded in agreement, at this time, he had already taken today, purely as a time to accompany George over here to play, and to relax appropriately.

The two of them walked out into the woods, and there was a nice call from a bird, which George said was the chirping of a mountain tooth quail.

The two of them wandered among cedars, ash trees, walnut trees, plane trees, oak trees, and hickory trees.

George babbled on and on about tonight's dinner, with grilled fish, iced tea and diet coke, caught from the lake on his farm. ….

Abel listened with a smile, and his mood changed from impatient at the beginning to indifferent now.

He has regarded today as a day of pure relaxation and leisure.

At most, he is accompanied by the commander of the United States, which is not so ordinary.

Until I really finished a simple dinner.

I don't know if someone reminded George, or if he really stayed until now.

George finally told Abel the real purpose of calling him here today.

It has nothing to do with little Laura.

"Those people from Brown, they still want you to join, or join you."

After dinner, the Welsh lady took the maid and packed up all the things.

Abel and George sat next to the small pier near the lake, in front of which was a beautiful large lake at sunset.

The grilled fish I had for dinner was caught from this lake.

Abel was also relieved to hear that George had finally talked to him.

"What do you mean? Or what Herbert meant?" Abel asked rhetorically.

George chuckled and said:

"If only it were my way. I certainly hope you will cooperate with them. You are my relatives and they are my biggest supporters. It is in my best interest for you to cooperate."

"That's what my father meant. But we all know that you are very strong-willed and not easily shaken."

He paused at this point, and Able picked up, "So

What about it?"

"So I consulted with my father, mainly after my father went to contact them. Now there's a compromise, would you like to hear it?"

Abel nodded.

He and Davis Brown, the representative of the Texas consortium, broke up the last time they talked in the White House.

Abel knew that with more and more allies around him, those people would eventually be unable to bear it.

You must know that last year, the Texas consortium was the first to contact itself and the first to investigate its own people.

Obviously, it is the first, and it also has the advantage of being close to the water in Texas and shrubs.

If Abel ends up completely falling to other consortia, or succeeding on his own, he still has nothing to do with them.

They are already weaker in the whole of the United States, and they will soon become the biggest joke within the whole American consortium.

Even the California consortium and Abel's contact was very friendly.

And what about the Texas consortium?

Both from the point of view of face and from the point of view of economic interests.

The Texas consortium could not have been willing to miss Abel.

And from Abel's point of view, he didn't want to completely turn his face with the Texas consortium.

There are several reasons for this.

Like what... Americans' sense of territory is very strong.

Like the Bush family, it was actually Herbert that the family came to live in Texas.

George wasn't even born in Texas.

So for a long time, Herbert was not considered a Texan.

It was until George's generation grew up and began to enter the stage.

They were considered Texans and were embraced locally.

Abel is a Texan, and this mark can't be washed off after he becomes famous. ….

It is estimated that his son's generation will grow up, or grow up in other states, and he may be able to get rid of this imprint.

Other states are going to have a lot of resistance to him no matter what.

Unlike in Texas, where he can really be regarded as a lot of "folks", Texans will really like him.

And then there's the fact that Neil succeeds on the West Coast.

Texas also remains one of the main territories of Bush & Smith.

In this case, everyone looks down and does not look up.

It's all a Texas land snake, and there is a bush in the middle.

Whether it's from Abel's point of view, or from the Texas consortium's point of view.

They all believe that cooperation between the two sides is greater than confrontation.

When he was in the White House before, even if Abel said something like that, he refused directly.

Davis Brown didn't turn his face and just left.

There was no hostile action afterwards, as if it hadn't happened.

That's why.

Abel was now willing to listen to George's "compromise" approach.

It's also for this reason.

"Dallas First Country. People's Bank, Houston First City State. People's Bank of China, Dallas Communal. And. Country. Minbank and the Commercial Bank of Texas."

"Houston First Reinsurance Company, Dallas Nation. Civil Insurance Company, Dallas Commercial Insurance Company."

George slowly read out the names of the Texas consortium, the only four banks and three insurance companies.

"Each of the seven companies will have 49.9% of the shares in exchange for the corresponding shares of Smith Capital and Pacific Commercial Bank at market price."

"Wait." Abel suddenly interrupted George, and he looked at the owner of the white house.

"I remember that the investment company in Zhapata also holds some shares in these banks and insurance companies, right?"

The Zapata Investment Company is the core business of the Bush family, and Laura Jr. did not have it before, but now owns 10% of the company.

According to Alex,

The 10% stake will be transferred to Abel after she and Abel get married.

"Yes." George responded with a smile.

"They were so willing to do so this time?" Abel was surprised.

George shrugged, "Who's to say it isn't."

After determining this.

Abel quickly thought about the gains and losses on his side if he cooperated like this.

The Texas consortium, this time is much more generous than last time.

Last time, they were only willing to take out 33% of each of the four banks, and the insurance companies were not willing to take them out.

This time, it's all out, and it's all 49.9% of the shares.

So many shares, if you count the small shares of the bush family.

Together, Smith and the bushes could completely dominate the financial core of the Texas consortium.

If the Texas consortium does this, it will directly hand over all their financial fields to Abel, and then use the bush family as a buffer and fuse.

Abel didn't know why they did it.

But he speculated that it may be related to the year-end investment reception of Smith Capital not long ago.

A financial capital company has achieved the achievement of creating a gross profit of 45.8 billion US dollars and a net profit of 42.5 billion US dollars in one year.

This kind of company is coveted by anyone. ….

And Abel's dominance in the financial sector.

also through his long-term and stable performance, he announced to these top consortia in the United States that he is not a short-lived meteor.

It's a dazzling, scorching star.

Among the large consortia in the United States, the Texas consortium, which has always been the weakest in finance, was originally the most complementary consortium to Abel.

Last time, they had the intention of absorbing Abel and wanted Abel to become their financial leader.

But Abel refused.

That time it was Abel who disliked them for not being on good terms.

The Texas consortium simply went ruthless this time and handed over the entire financial sector.

The sincerity in this, Abel can be regarded as feeling.

It's almost the equivalent of the Texas consortium itself, handing over half of their eggs to Abel.

If it is crushed by Abel, the Texas consortium will be crippled for a long, long time...

Looking at the internationally renowned and powerful consortia, almost all of them take banks and financial capital as their core and center.

Whether it's Europe, North America, or neon, a real consortium of scales is like this.

Those on Hong Kong Island are not counted, those are at most real estate capitalists, and they are all confined to such a small place.

It's not competitive at all externally, it's a fart consortium.

The real consortia are all trying to monopolize internally and exposing their fangs externally.

Even the consortiums and chaebols where Neon and Hanguo are tied to dog chains are like this.

It can also be said that the financial core itself is the center of the existence of a consortium.

Like DuPont in the consortium, when it was strong, it even exceeded the combined military of the two consortiums in California and Texas.

But DuPont lacked a strong financial core and was limited by financial and capital deficiencies, so it had to rely on Mahogon and Rockfeller.

The final result is that giants such as General Electric and General Dynamics, which were originally wholly owned by them, have gradually been infiltrated by Rogon and Rockefeller, and have become three-party holdings.

Similarly, the Cleveland Consortium is also weak in financial capital and limited in strength, and has to rely on the Eastern Consortium to raise funds, especially the financial institutions of the Mahogon Consortium.

In a consortium with a weak financial core.

At present, the only one who can maintain a strong independence is Texas.

But there are already examples like Cleveland and DuPont in the past.

Texas, which has always been the most difficult to deal with with the Eastern consortium, is also worried that it will follow in the footsteps of these two consortiums.

Years

Since then, the Texas consortium has maintained its own military fundamentals while also trying to develop its own financial capital.

The result is to make Texas the most financially powerful state in the Southwestern United States.

Even so, the combined financial capital of the whole of Texas is less than one-tenth of the island of Manhattan.

Now there is a Texan like Abel, and he has made a name for himself on Wall Street.

The Texas consortium, which does not want to be constrained by the eastern consortium and is forced by a weak financial core to move forward on a large scale.

After hesitating for more than a year, I finally made up my mind.

plans to take advantage of the marriage of Abel and Bush to pull them into this local Texas Snake Alliance.
