Chapter 397: Mighty Donkey

The United States is surrounded by the sea on three sides, namely the East Coast, the West Coast, and the South Coast.

The East Coast is the traditional Great Lakes region, dominated by New York, the most prosperous and developed area in the United States.

The south coast is Miami and New Orleans.

The West Coast usually refers to the states of California, Oregon and Washington.

Broadly speaking, it also includes Alaska and Hawaii.

It has a predominantly Mediterranean climate.

The Mediterranean climate is characterized by the customary sunshine in winter.

Like the Eurasian side. In winter, there are often a lot of hairy people and Nordic people who flock to the Mediterranean.

It's because living things have always liked warmth and don't like cold. Because in the winter in Europe, the Mediterranean is not too cold, they go to spend the winter.

In the United States, in the winter, many people from the East Coast run to the West Coast and the South Coast.

More went to Hawaii, while others stayed in California.

However, in California winters, the daytime can occasionally reach around 30 degrees. But in winter, the water here is often icy and not suitable for going into the sea.

[In other words, it is the best way to read aloud and listen to books, change the source, and install the latest version.] 】

If Americans want to go into the water in winter and ask not to go abroad, it is naturally better to go to Hawaii, Miami or the Caribbean.

But if you just need sand and sun, California can do that.

On this day when the sun is shining and the sea breeze is smoking.

The same style of "Jessica" as the "Annie" that Abel gave to Anne on Christmas Day.

In the waters of Los Angeles, meet with dozens of other yachts, large and small.

When Jerry Brown was in the middle of the yacht.

On the largest flagship, he greeted Abel with a smile on his face and saw Jessica beside Abel.

One of the largest local snakes in California was stunned for a moment.

But he reacted quickly, and soon laughed naturally, and gave Abel a big hug, "Oh, welcome to the Mighty Donkey, dear Mr. Smith!!"

"Oh, is this the famous 'Mighty Donkey'? She's so pretty. Good afternoon, Mr. Brown."

Able responded with a smile.

That's right, Abel didn't just accompany Jessica to the sea today.

This time he went to sea, and he accepted the invitation of two people.

One is Jerry Brown, and the other is Richard Gephardt, whom he has met several times but is not familiar with.

Abel met Richard Gerphardt twice at the White House and once at Smith Capital's year-end reception last year.

Richard Gephardt is the current minority leader in the House of Representatives.

And the current minority party in the House of Representatives is the Donkey Party, in other words, Richard Gephardt is one of the elders of the Donkey Party.

Jerry Brown is also one of the elders of the Donkey Party, but he is the most powerful of the local princes.

The two donkey party elders invited each other, but they didn't say what the purpose was, but they just said that they would invite Abel to go to sea together.

Abel thought about it and agreed.

This is the scene where he went out to sea on a yacht today and came here.

And this large yacht surrounded by other yachts, its real name is not "Mighty Donkey". ….

The mighty donkey is its nickname, and its name is the Dish Cook.

It's just that insiders like to call it a powerful donkey.

Corresponding to its nickname is the image of victory of its old enemy.

It is said that they are a tool for high-ranking people of their respective parties to go out to sea and socialize.

Only by climbing to a certain position within its party can it hope to be invited.

Of course, even if they are not party insiders. But as long as you have enough status or usefulness, you can also receive such an invitation.

For example, Abel in front of him is.

He's a veteran elephant party, though

Ran never served in any party. But because of family reasons, he joined the Juvenile Department of the Elephant Party when he was in middle school, and paid fees every year.

It's been almost ten years now.

He is even the eldest of the current Elephant Party elders and the son-in-law of the Bush family.

But he was still invited by the Donkey Party to be a guest of the powerful Donkey.

To put it bluntly, to his extent, he is rich. Unless there is a natural conflict of interest, both the elephant and the donkey will frantically woo him.

The elephant didn't make any movement over there, and that's because he was an elephant in the first place.

His father has begun to enter the middle level and move towards the top level.

It's an elephant that is difficult to jump out of no matter how much you jump, and it's your own person in the eyes of the natural elephant party.

The donkey's side should have been hostile to him.

But......

Who called him a new media giant like Smith Media, and he was one of the Wall Street giants.

At the same time, he also holds a large number of shares in Internet giants.

And the Internet itself is the achievement of the Donkey Party, and it is the pillar of the future they envision!

The first two forces have always been the basic plate that donkeys try their best to win over and win over.

Just like the basic plate of the elephant party, it has always been energy, military and heavy industry.

There is also a very important Internet.

Therefore, because of his senior elephant party status, he should be more repulsed and hostile to Abel's donkey party.

has always been very forgiving to him.

Herein lies the reason.

What's more, this period is like a strong donkey and a weak one, and the two parties can still have a very tacit understanding within themselves.

Naturally, the donkeys will not be too hostile to Abel.

This is also the reason why Abel accepted the invitation of Richard Gerphardt and Jerry Brown to go to sea to participate.

In a dozen years, the two factions will begin to separate.

Then Abel would never have accepted such an invitation.

The devil knows what the donkey will do after the devil is stunned.

At around 11 a.m., the Mighty Donkey was on deck.

Abel smiled again and hugged Richard Gephardt.

Jerry Brown also shook hands with Jessica, who was very restrained and looked very nervous.

Even though she has been Abel's woman for almost two years, she has seen more big scenes than in parallel time and space.

But at this moment, on such an occasion, it is good to see such a big man in such a country...... No, it's a big guy in the entertainment industry that needs to look up.

At this time, if Abel was not around, Jessica felt that her legs would be very useless and she would lie on the ground directly.

A person's background and knowledge from a young age determine his/her vision.

Since she was a child, she has been the daughter of a small businessman at most, and when she grows up, she dreams of being a star. ….

Nervousness is inevitable because they don't know how to deal with the big names in the big news of these countries.

If it were replaced by Yin Kana and Paris, it would be much better.

There may be nervousness, but how to contact and how to receive them, they have absolutely no problem.

If it were from the backgrounds of Peggy and Little Laura, it is estimated that there would be no nervousness.

No other, but compared to the former, they were used to seeing guests of this status at home as early as when they were children.

Abel didn't know Jessica's nervousness, he didn't have a trace of nervousness anyway.

Maybe it would have been a few months since he was reborn.

After his wealth is free, he has rapidly transformed under the stimulation of capital.

Even when he was only worth hundreds of millions of dollars, with the traverser mentality and talent in hand, he already had a God's perspective mentality that he was not nervous about seeing anyone.

Of course, at that time, he had that kind of mentality in that situation, and it was still a little inflated......

"Mr. Gephardt, I think this is the time to come out

The words of the sea. We'd better go to Hawaii."

Abel smiled and hugged Richard Gephardt's shoulder, the old guy was very tall, estimated to be 1.9 meters, a little shorter than him.

"Or the Caribbean. Offshore California in winter, nice beach. But the sea is very cold."

Richard Gephardt, a half-hundred-year-old man, was treated like this by such a young man, but he didn't show any anger at all.

It's not that he is well-cultivated, it's just that in his eyes, Abel's young age is no longer important.

What matters is Abel's identity, wealth, and influence!

"Oh...... Actually, if I could decide. I'd rather go to the Bay Area and find a golf course to play golf." Richard Gephardt said to Abel with a smile.

"But I didn't start this meeting, so there's no way."

"It's not you, it's Mr. Brown?"

"Not really." Jerry Brown has come up to him.

The two old men, both over sixty years old, surrounded young Abel in the middle, as if he were the core.

"It was summoned by another gentleman. It's a gathering of a lot of friends. We feel that Mr. Smith, you are one of our most honored guests, and we have invited you."

Jerry Brown said.

Richard Gephardt smiled and nodded slightly.

Abel shrugged, thinking to himself that the two old men were still playing mystery? Labor and management have even seen Rockfeller, Morgun, the California consortium, and the Texas consortium.

The contact information of the top elders of the oiler is also available.

It's the kind of person who can call over and have a party together in a few minutes.

Who is on the donkey party's side?

He smiled and said no more, and followed the two old men across the deck and towards the interior of the yacht.

They soon passed through a corridor with all kinds of beautiful paintings and decorations, and entered a large living room on the huge yacht.

There were many people in the large living room, and Abel glanced over and found that there were at least thirty or forty men and women, more men and fewer women.

And he immediately saw the core of the crowd, several old men and women who were surrounded in the middle. ….

Two of them, the old man and an old woman, came briskly towards him as soon as he had entered.

Before the other party could get closer, Jessica, who was behind Abel and Jerry Brown and Richard Gephardt, had already whispered in surprise:

"Oh my God! Kleton! Hinari!"

It's no wonder that Jessica is so out of shape in front of so many people.

Because the three people who came over quickly with a smile on their faces were none other than them.

Who calls two of them household names in the United States?

Isn't that the best "civilian commander" in the history of the United States, who has been praised and evaluated by the people as Lincoln and Kennedy, and his equally famous wife Hinari!!

Seeing big names like Richard Gephardt and Jerry Brown, Jessica can still hold back.

Seeing this kind of legendary couple, Jessica really couldn't help but cry out.

I saw Corleton with his trademark smile, and after he came over, he didn't look at Jessica, but smiled directly at Abel and stretched out his hand:

"Hello, Mr. Smith. I'm William Jefferson Colliton."

Abel raised his eyebrows and shook hands with him with a smile:

"It seems that you are the initiator of the party, and the person who invited me. It's mysterious, Mr. Colliton. Hello, I'm Abel Smith."

"Hahaha~" Coolton laughed, his temperament was hearty and natural, and he looked very atmospheric, much better than George's aura.

"We're sorry, but we didn't keep it a secret. But Jerry says it's a pleasant surprise to you. I don't think it's a surprise to see me, because it's 2002, not 2000, not 1993."

"No ......"

Abeille

He looked at Jerry Brown with a deep smile, and the old fox smiled at him as friendly as ever.

Able had to say, "Of course there are surprises. After all, you're one of the Americans I admire the most."

Abel's words are a bit sincere.

Collidon is a person, not to mention his contribution to the United States during his administration.

Just his superficial life experience is enough to call him a legend.

A father hung up before he was born, his mother remarried to the middle class with a big belly, he could shake hands with Kennedy and take pictures at the age of 16-17, he became a governor in his thirties, and he became a commander at the age of 46.

On the surface, it's a dick.

But what is the reality...... That's another story.

It's just that this doesn't prevent Abel, who really admires each other.

At least when it comes to being the chief of the United States and a politician, Colliton has done it to the extreme.

Collidon smiled and let go of Abel's hand.

Standing behind him was his wife, Hinari.

The...... A legend too.

Abel shook her hand and smiled, "Hello, Mrs. Colliton."

"Hello, Mr. Smith." Hinari's old face smiled like a flower, and it could be seen that she should have been a Peugeot beauty when she was young, but now she is also an old woman.

She shook Abel's hand, as if she wanted to say something.

But Abel had already turned to the side, another old white man.

"Ha, hello, Mr. Schultz......" He let go of Hinari's somewhat reluctant hand and shook hands with the old white man:

"I'm Abel Smith. It's a pleasure to see you here."

Delin Schultz smiled and shook hands with Abel, he is the chairman of the National Committee of the American Donkey Party, that is, the Donkey Party***, and is the real core of the Donkey Party.

And *** is different. There are two donkey parties, one in the House of Representatives and one in the Senate.

Like Richard Gephardt, he is the Donkey Party House of Representatives***, and the other Senate*** is Le Corvin Jones.

The same is true for the elephant party. Sometimes, though, *** will act as *** directly.

Sometimes the power is very large, sometimes it is very small, mainly depending on its own ability and influence.

Schultz is a more middle-of-the-road one.

After shaking hands with Schultz, Able smiled behind them and saw everyone in the living room smiling at him.

To his slight surprise, he saw a few big people from the Elephant Party's side among these people.

There are also some positions that are biased towards the party's wealth elders.

Abel took a deep breath.

He vaguely understood what kind of party it might be today.

A new thought
