Chapter 387: The Fuse That Determines Fate
After taking a dip in the pool, Abel was satisfied.
In the sunny dining room of the villa, Abel began to eat breakfast.
While you have breakfast, stop by and take a look at today's newspaper.
【…… Affected by a series of staggered macroeconomic data, gold futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange showed a volatile trend. 】
【…… The Department of Labor announced early this morning that the unemployment rate in December last year reached .%, the highest since 1995.
【…… In 2001, 2.6 million people lost their jobs, a record since 1945. 】
【…… A recession will reduce demand for goods and curb inflation. Gold futures fell to $298.5 an ounce in early trading. 】
Abel, who was wearing a white T-shirt and beach pants, took a sip of a cup of iced coffee, looking at the recent economic data and news in the United States presented in the newspaper.
When he finished his iced coffee, he put down the newspaper and looked up through the carved windows of the glass-lit dining room.
He saw Kate, dressed in a white wide dress, already up and lying under a sun umbrella next to the outdoor pool, enjoying a leisurely time.
Smack-
Abel snapped his fingers, and the housekeeper came up with the maids.
Take away the newspapers and the breakfast scraps and coffee cups he had eaten, and clean them up.
As soon as the housekeeper and maid exited, Alan Baker and two other members of the Smith Intelligence Order, as well as David Jones, the housekeeper of the Smith family, appeared.
"Good morning, everyone."
Able greeted them with a smile.
The subordinates also hurriedly responded, and then began to work.
Mainly Allen is reporting and reading some Smith Intelligence Group, sorting out and collecting and revising various business intelligence, economic strategies, and some suggestions for Abel's various companies.
It's also the most of the time, Abel's daily morning job is the breakfast meeting.
Usually, after dealing with these things, he will go out.
When he goes out, he usually follows the itinerary listed for him by the Smith Intelligence Group.
Of course, the world is big, and the boss's opinion is the greatest.
No matter how good or important is the itinerary of the Smith Intelligence Column.
None of Abel's opinions, or ideas, were important.
Abel would often change his itinerary abruptly, and do things outside of his itinerary according to his preferences and ideas.
If this happens, the Smith Intelligence Group will naturally have no choice but to accommodate its own boss.
As quickly as possible, design new itineraries and suggestions for Abel in a short period of time.
That's what the Smith Intelligence does.
It is also the main reason why this consulting company is growing in number and scale.
Only the more elites you collect, the more manpower you have.
Abel's "cabinet, military aircraft department, and chamberlain" can meet Abel's needs in all aspects from work to entertainment hobbies, from entertainment hobbies to family life.
In front of the table.
Abel's eyes were slightly squinted in the sun, and next to him was Allen, who was reading business intelligence.
"In the face of the massive economic stimulus package that is about to be rolled out under the Bush Commandery, the Congressional Budget Office expects the budget deficit to reach $400 billion in the fiscal quarter ending in March." ….
"Markets are worried that the Fed may be forced to pay for the huge fiscal deficit that comes so early. The US dollar is under tremendous depreciation pressure. The U.S. dollar exchange rate rose sharply on the 7th, which played a supporting role in the trend of gold futures."
"Morgan Chase Bank has also sharply raised its forecast for international gold prices, believing that gold prices will rise further as the dollar continues to weaken. In the first quarter of this year, it is expected to rise to $330 an ounce, up from its previous forecast of $315......
"Historically, there has been an inverse relationship between the price of gold and the US dollar. In our view, the U.S. dollar will continue to move lower against the currencies of advanced economies in the second half of the year
The exchange rate of the economic currency will also generally weaken, so some investors will inevitably turn to the yellow ......."
Although Alan is reading information, he is also always looking at the boss.
When I saw the boss's expression, there was a slight change.
He stopped at once, and sure enough, Alan heard Able say:
"It's more than $330. By the end of this year, it will definitely exceed $500."
"Inform David and Jade that New York and London will start buying international spot gold, and we will go long."
[To tell the truth, I've been using @
The crisis was formed, in addition to the foreshadowing of World War II and the Great Depression, the second terrible financial crisis appeared, and the Lehman giants fell with a bang.
And the good strategy that Abel said at this time appeared.
It means that the Fed has finally begun to try to carry out quantitative easing.
First, he was good at doing futures, and he has been paving the way in the real estate market since the year before.
The worldwide futures volatility brought about by quantitative easing is a crazy emergence of new withdrawal opportunities for the talented Abel.
Second, the emergence of this "adaptive policy" is sounding the clarion call for the subprime mortgage crisis.
A few years later, the subprime mortgage crisis has always been regarded by Abel as a necessary condition for him to achieve all his ultimate goals.
More than anyone else, he wanted the subprime mortgage crisis to come sooner.
Now that the trumpet has finally sounded, Abel knows about it, and naturally feels happy.
Looking at the boss who looked very excited, Alan and the others didn't know why, but they all followed Abel's instructions and began to long gold and short the dollar.
This concludes the breakfast meeting.
Abel, who went to Los Angeles yesterday and played for a day and a night, also began to get busy with business on the West Coast.
For him, the first thing about this side is related to little Laura.
It had something to do with her father, Neil Bush, to be exact.
Three hours later, at noon.
Abel has appeared in San Francisco, more than 400 miles away from Los Angeles.
Outside the helipad, Neil and some of the staff were already waiting for him in safety.
After getting off the helicopter, Abel walked up to his father-in-law, and the two chuckled and hugged one.
"You shouldn't have lunch yet, so let's go have lunch first. Talk while eating." Neil whispered after letting go of Abel.
Abel nodded, and the two of them walked towards the villa where Neil lived. ….
Lunch is very simple, and the main point is work.
Neil's job is to coordinate Pacific Energy, as well as the workers at Pacific Electric in California, with the guild.
This work is not important to say important, it is not important, and sometimes it is often important.
As mentioned earlier, workers and laborers in various industries in various regions of the United States often connect in tandem every few years to walk on the streets and threaten the management to raise wages and benefits.
This cycle is generally 3~5 years.
Once the cycle is about to come in, this work for Neil becomes difficult to do.
This is where this is important.
Other times, it's a simple job. The laborers who have been satisfied or compromised, as well as those workers' aristocrats in the AFL, will not make trouble again in the short term.
At this time, this work is not so important.
Luckily, the last time California's energy workers took to the streets was at the end of the previous year.
At least for the next two years, they won't make trouble. When we enter a new cycle, that's a matter for later.
"It's not so rosy." Cutting the steak, Neil looked at Abel and said, "The old donkey obviously has more advantages here. It's hard for me to do things here."
Able looked at him with a smile, "What do you think? What should I do?"
Neil gave his son-in-law a deep look, looking at Abel's smiling expression.
Neil suddenly said, "Actually, you've been thinking about it for a long time, haven't you?"
Abel's face remained unchanged and he continued to smile, "I don't understand what you mean."
"You deliberately mentioned Rick Perry many times in front of me. Saying that I should challenge him, and so on, is actually implying me?"
Neil seemed to be talking to himself, and as if he was questioning Abel:
"Rick Perry, he can betray his hometown for the sake of his future and his life. From an old donkey, to an elephant party. That's probably why you kept mentioning him back then?"
"So what?" Abel put a piece of steak
Fork it with a fork, put it in your mouth, chew it a few times, and then say:
"Do you think Rick Perry has succeeded? Do you want to be Rick Perry, or do you want to be better than him? Dear Neil, you know how much better you are than Rick Perry!"
"Sure enough." Neil's tone became determined, "You had the idea then!"
Abel shrugged, not admitting or denying it.
But the way he looked, Neil knew he meant that.
Neil was actually right.
At the beginning, Abel suggested that his father-in-law leave Texas and come to California to develop.
The main reason is to let Neil learn from Rick Perry and follow the path that the current Texas governor has walked!
It's just that Rick Perry is a donkey on his back. Because Texas, where he is located, is like the party's own land.
And what Neil has to do is to throw the donkey on his back.
As an important member of the senior Elephant Party elder family, betray the Elephant Party in California and join the Donkey Party!
In fact, after Neil chose to come to California, Abel already had this idea and plan.
According to Abel's plan, Abel was prepared to walk on three legs. ….
They are Abel's father, Alexander, his father-in-law, Neil, and another father-in-law, Ted Lerner.
If all goes well, it is naturally best for Alexander to succeed.
If Alexander can't get on stage, then Neil will go.
Neil can't do it, and at that time, he can start thinking about pushing Yin Kana's father.
His plan started early, and it looked grandiose and safe.
I walked on three legs, how could I still be unstable.
But this plan, it has a fatal flaw.
This loophole is his father and two fathers-in-law, and the routes they take are all elephant roads.
But with neoliberalism, it has succeeded in brainwashing people within the West.
The world has begun to tilt towards the "Left" defined by Europe and the United States.
In this state, donkeys are more popular in the future.
That's why the future of the United States, like the United States, will be miserable by donkeys.
In other words, the donkey will overwhelm the elephant in the future.
The fatal flaw in Abel's plan is that there is no trustworthy person on the donkey's side.
So it started when Neil wanted to come to California to develop.
Abel wanted to let his father-in-law learn from Rick Perry.
That's to put Neil on his back and throw a donkey.
"Betrayed" the Bush family and Texas, and defected to the Donkey Party on the Californian side.
If only Neil were willing and could fit into the donkey.
Abel's three-legged plan was perfected.
When the time comes, it will be an elephant, a donkey.
Yin Kana's dad is stuck in the middle, as a fuse, and when he sees which side he has an advantage in, then jump which side.
When the need arises, MAGA (Make America Great Again) is not impossible to become MAMF (Make America Freer).
Don't think that doesn't work. In fact, in parallel time and space, Yin Kana's father jumped left and right many times.
For more than ten years, he has been a grass on the wall between many parties such as donkeys, elephants, and tea.
It's just that the time is also fate, just when Yin Kana's father jumped to the elephant again.
The rednecks are under the perennial persecution of LGBTTTQQIAAP+ demons.
Finally forced out a MAGA.
Daddy Yin Kana judged the situation and jumped out to take on the wave of fate of this MAGA.
Or that MAGA felt that he was like what they wanted, and it fell on his head.
A father of Yin Kana has also achieved a good reputation as King Marga.
But in fact, if it were then, it would have been the Red Necks who oppressed LGBTTTQ
QIAAP+.
When the demons rebelled fiercely, it was never impossible for a MAMF to appear.
From his youth to the present, Yin Kana's father, who has been very out of line in all aspects, and has a good relationship with MJ and other old blacks, can also inherit this wave of fate.
Anyway, as long as it works well, as a fuse, Yin Kana's father is very qualified.
Ah Dong, since you can understand the red neck, why can't you understand the devil?
Abel's ideal three-legged plan is a donkey and an elephant, a fuse that can jump sideways from side to side.
And he himself is the black hand of fate hidden behind the scenes.
Of course, all of this is envisaged in the best possible situation.
If all goes well, it can be as he thinks.
He wants it to be 8X3. ….
8 years for one person and 24 years for three people.
Dominate the world's No. 1 power for 24 years, that is, pigs can rule everything.
This is naturally the most difficult thing, and there is a high probability that it will not be possible.
Neil, who has been in California for half a year, has been working here for half a year.
Finally discovered this - his son-in-law was hinting that he was going to "betray" the family.
This is what Abel questioned when Abel came over today.
"Okay."
Facing the silent Abel, Neil closed his eyes and released them after a moment:
"So what are you going to do? Rick Perry wasn't doing very well at the time. I don't think I can be exactly like him if I want to surpass him in California."
Seeing the old man say this, Abel laughed directly.
"Hah...... Very smart choice. Neil, we can all benefit from this. It doesn't matter if it's little Laura or me, or the Bush family."
Abel still remembers that before he was reborn, the mayor of New York at the time argued with his brother about "Mom loves me more" in front of the TV media.
The mayor of New York can play like this, and Abel thinks Neil can play the same way.
Abel turned to Neil and said what he thought.
"Uh......" Neil hesitated, "to do this. That's going to have to be done with my father's consent, and George's consent."
Able shrugged, "I don't care. I'm afraid that George will scold me, and you can only go to Herbert and George about it. Of course, Dear Neil. If you think I'm not thinking well, then you can do as you please. I'll help you too."
"But if it just comes like that, I believe that your efforts and gains will be very disproportionate. We are outsiders, whatever we may say. The old elephants are more discriminatory against outsiders, but the donkey's audience is more welcoming to outsiders."
"The choice is yours, my esteemed father-in-law."
A new thought
