Austin, the capital of Texas, is also the educational center of Texas.

It has the reputation of being the "live music capital of the world" and is a city named after the surname of Stephen Austin, the father of Texas.

Even a very large number of Texans do not want it to be the capital of Texas.

But the fact that Austin is the center of Texas has always been an unchangeable reality.

The thoughts of the leeks of the lower classes of the people can't change the practices of the top oligarchs in Texas.

The headquarters of the Texas consortium is not actually located in Houston, where the economy is better, but in the blue city of Austin, a red state.

Abel flying from Los Angeles International Airport.

His sky palace "Smith", back to Texas.

The place where you landed was Austin's Bergstrom International Airport.

When taxiing slowly, the Boeing 747 is parked on a private tarmac at Austin Bergstrom International Airport.

When Abel and his party walked down the suspension ladder, it was already past four o'clock in the night in Austin.

The convoy sped out of the airport and headed for downtown Austin.

At night, the heart of Texas is illuminated by dazzling lights, as if it is paved with gold, showing the prosperity of the big city everywhere.

The lights are flickering and colorful, whether it is the night sky or the buildings, it will set off the city more dazzling and bright.

"Whew-"

Exactly the same as the Army No. 1 Cadillac monster modified vehicle, in the rear compartment.

Abel exhaled a soft breath.

Since the "accident" on January 20.

He has been cleaning up all aspects of this attack that he directed for himself.

Honestly, until now. Abel already regretted it a little, regretting that he had made so many things for no reason.

Although compared to the harvest, the losses are not very large.

But these gains cost him too much effort.

Compared with the effort expended, this harvest Abel really can't look down on.

If he really wants to do this, he feels that he can put his time and energy into the broader financial capital market.

With his own "talent", he is even more invincible in this field.

Instead of giving up your best strengths.

Put the battlefield on the intrigue that you are not good at and the most exhausting.

Fortunately, now the matter is finally over.

The test of the entire Smith department, including the consortium partners, cannot be said to be a perfect score, and it is also a passing test.

In addition to these internal gains.

Through this attack.

The shareholders of California Pacific Electric finally gave up their previous insistence under the coercion of public opinion.

Through the air contact with Jerry Brown, it is quite tacit.

Pacific Electric in California will begin merging with Pacific Energy next month.

At that time, Abel will personally own 90% of the shares of the new company, and the remaining 10% will be transferred to the shareholders of the original Pacific Electric Group in California.

If there had been no attack, all went well.

Even if the two major local energy groups in California can merge, Abel can only get about 75%~80% of the shares at most.

After making such a mess, the proportion of shares increased by about 10%~15%.

This is one of the biggest benefits that Able can reap in this attack.

Over there in New York, entanglement with the Newhouse family.

Because of the attack, the Newhouse family was very jealous of Abel, who stood on the moral high ground.

The two sides have reconciled for the time being.

Newhouse, for his part, did not continue to make a fuss about the gray power of New York's underground.

Smith Media, for the time being, let Anna Wintour not continue to attack Newhouse.

The reason why both sides suddenly became so talkative was mainly because after the attack.

At present, Abel has temporarily stood on the commanding heights of morality and public opinion in the whole United States.

At this time, if you go against Abel, it will be easy for Abel to target him in this regard.

This was also one of the benefits that Abel had an idea at that time, and after thinking of this operation, he felt that he could obtain it.

That is to occupy the moral high ground of the whole United States, and to strike at his enemies from the moral high ground.

It's just that the imagination is beautiful, but the operation is very complicated, and this kind of conspiracy is very laborious.

In many cases, it is not enough to get the Smith Intelligence group involved.

He also had to Abel do it himself.

It only took this time, and Abel was a little reluctant.

After the operation, he felt that by doing this, he was discarding his strengths and learning from his weaknesses.

Obviously, I don't need to have more advantageous talents, but I use these things that I am not good at.

Fool one.

After this incident.

Abel secretly decided in his heart that this kind of thankless thing was a thankless task.

In the future, it is better to do less as seconds.

That's why he's over there, and when he's done for the time being, he's going to rush back to Texas.

There are some factors in this to avoid the limelight.

Of course, he had a good reason to go back to Texas.

That is, it has lasted for several months, and hundreds of rounds of negotiations have been conducted.

The final cooperation contract and model have been finalized, and the merger of the Texas consortium and the Smith consortium has been carried out to the last part of the work.

If all goes well, within a few days, the Texas consortium and the Smith consortium will merge in a certain sense.

The two sides will stand on the same side in many aspects, sharing interests, holding shares in each other's shares, and mixing into one.

After that, there was no original Texas consortium, or the Smith consortium.

The new consortium will appear as the "Texas & Smith Consortium", or "Smith Texas Consortium".

Of course, there is no real name for the consortium itself.

There is no group or company in the world called the Rockphile Consortium or the Mahogon Consortium.

The consortium itself is just an invisible and huge community of interests.

It doesn't matter what it's called.

All he wants is to be able to dominate it.

Looking out the car window, Austin's beautiful lights.

Abel took out his phone and dialed it.

"Prescott, it's me, I'm glad you haven't rested yet."

"Hah—I want to rest. But this was the task that my grandfather and uncle gave me. Dear Abel, it's good to be back. ”

"Hmm. Let's start with this. It's so late, Prescott, you can rest first, see you tomorrow. ”

“ok。”

“……”

Abel hung up.

At this time, his convoy also came to the Holy Torch Road southeast of Austin.

This area, south of downtown Austin by the river, has high housing prices, with a median household income of $52,048 in 2000.

It's a wealthy part of the city of Austin.

The Bush family's villa, literally on the edge of the area, offers some of the best views of the Colorado River.

Abel came here because New Beginnings Real Estate Company also bought real estate here.

Austin Holy Musket Road, a luxury mansion covering an area of about 10 acres, 7 bedrooms and 8 bathrooms.

The convoy stops in the beautiful courtyard of the mansion, and the Cadillac monster drops Abel to the door of the villa's main hall.

In the bright light at the door, there was no one around, only little Laura, who was wearing a white sundress, "poor and only for Abelcon", stood there barefoot.

Abel, who got out of the car, opened his arms and walked towards her, catching her who pounced on her and smiled: "You are not afraid of going naked......"

"No one. No one dared to look at it either! ”

After being hugged by him, the future housewife of the Smith family said with a smile.

"Oops...... You've been ...... lately. Gain weight, right? Little toast seems to have turned into a small pastry? ”

In Abel's arms, little Laura was like a koala, with her arms around his neck and hanging on him, hearing Abel's teasing, little Laura leaned up and bit Abel's nose.

"You've just gained weight! It's two pounds heavier though! But my flesh has grown where it should be! Stinky guy, do you want me? ”

"Yes."

Abel held little Laura with both hands, picked her up, walked into the main hall, looked up at her silky eyes, and replied with a smile.

Little Laura cupped Abel's cheeks with both hands and whispered, "There's no one in here anymore." I told the maids to rest, and I told Donny to keep watch outside. If you want, we can play here as much as you want!! ”

After finishing speaking, she bowed her head and stopped Abel, affectionate and fiery.

Can this be endured?

You must know that little Laura has always been the most conservative of Abel's women.

Her biggest limit is just to be able to accept the traditional way and accompany Abel with at most one other woman.

That was when Abel was very persistent, and she was really unbearable alone.

In the end, he had to give in to Abel and made a change.

Born in that kind of family, there is also the burden of being a housemother.

Even if she is unmarried, little Laura is still very resistant to many tricks.

Tonight, she offered to be in the living room......

There is no doubt that this is already an improvement in this regard for the little lady of the bush family.

Abel responded directly to her enthusiasm and began his actions in a hurry.

Early the next morning.

Abel, who was asleep, was awakened by the bright sun.

【The Road to Wealth in the United States】 【】

In the master bedroom, he opened his sleepy eyes and looked down at the little Laura lying in his arms still asleep, with one arm around him, and a small long moon relieving his little Laura.

He reached out and grabbed the blanket that had been kicked aside, and put it back on the two of them in their original state.

At the beginning of last night, the battle had begun in the main hall of the villa.

Halfway through the battle, Abel still took care of little Laura's conservative character.

In the posture of a large horse-drawn cart, he took her back to the master bedroom of the villa.

"Huh? Good morning, dear ......"

Little Laura, whose voice was a little hoarse, smiled at the corner of her mouth, her eyes didn't open, she hugged her tighter, and muttered comfortably in his arms.

Compared with when she first met Abel, the little lady of the bush family is obviously much better in terms of physique.

The people who are guarding the rocks next to her tell Abel that little Laura has been working out and exercising consistently, and she is also very self-disciplined in terms of diet.

It's been almost a year, and little Laura can't even carry it once.

Now he can barely cope with Abel, who only used three points of strength.

In terms of physique, little Laura is still very poor in a way.

It's something that can't be helped, it's born with genetic limitations.

Unless with Hextech.

In other aspects, little Laura is obviously working hard, wanting to fit the inhuman Abel.

"Good morning." Abel bowed his head and kissed her hair, caressing her smooth back.

He also knew about Laura's efforts in this regard.

“…… I still think it's good to have you by my side. ”

Little Laura closed her eyes, smelled the familiar smell of her fiancé, and her rosy cheeks rubbed against Abel, muttering with satisfaction.

Abel just chuckled and squeezed little Laura in his arms.

For a well-fed woman, it is natural that she is in a very happy mood.

He also likes women in this state, gentle and lovely.

The two of them rubbed on Simmons until more than 9 o'clock, then they frolicked, and ran into the bathroom naked, and after more than half an hour of tossing and turning in the bathroom, the two got dressed and walked downstairs and began to eat breakfast.

At this time, little Laura was actually still very sleepy.

No matter how much she exercises, she is still mortal, and it is impossible to compare with Abel.

But she likes the feeling of getting up in the morning and having breakfast with Abel.

The body is tired, sore, and sleepy.

But she still held on, thinking that it was a big deal to go back to catch up on sleep later.

"Are you still satisfied with the complete blueprint of Laura's flowers?" Little Laura had just handed a piece of toast with sweet cheese to Abel.

She heard Abel ask her.

Little Laura was stunned for a moment, then continued to pick up a new piece of toast and spread the cheese with a knife.

"Very beautiful and very spectacular. If it is built, I believe it will be one of the architectural marvels. ”

Little Laura spread the sweet cheese on the toast in her hand again and handed it to Abel.

【The Road to Wealth in the United States】 【】

One or two pieces of toast, Abel can't eat enough.

Little Laura, who knew how much her fiancé ate, began to smear Little Laura on the third piece of toast.

Four pieces of toast, a large portion of grilled tomahawk steak, plus an oversized taco roll, and a large portion of salad.

and a 1L capacity of pasteurized fresh milk next to it.

These are enough for five little Laura to eat a full meal for breakfast.

They are just the least of the morning, normal portions of food that Abel eats......

"It's just that the construction of Laura Hill, will it cost too much? Oh my God, those concrete buildings, they seem to be able to build two more World Trade Centers in Manhattan! ”

As Abel finished his toast and began to eat the tomahawk steak, little Laura whispered.

At the dinner table, the fiancé is discussing the blueprints and construction plans for their future home, Laura's Flower, or Laura's Heart.

Abel was on Long Island and bought a large plot of land.

It's not far from New York, and it's only half an hour by helicopter ride to Manhattan.

If you take a speedboat, it will take about an hour.

It's a long time to drive.

After the two formalized their relationship.

Abel once brought little Laura to that place.

Little Laura loves and is very satisfied with it, and has always been concerned about its progress.

She felt that it would be her wedding home, and it would be the best house in the world.

Abel gave the appearance of Laura's Flower and the work of designing the normal everyday building to Zaha Hadid, who was not famous at this time.

But the core of "Laura Hill", externally is in charge of Zaha Hadid.

The design of the building and interior is the responsibility of more professional people.

Some of these professionals even used to work for the NNSA in the United States.

When Laura Hill was completed, according to Abel's design requirements.

It will be a civil air defense system that can prevent wood, biology and chemistry, and has a complete internal circulation.

Even underneath Mount Laura, there is an underground river that leads directly to the coastal area not far away.

When there is a need, or when it is necessary to give up Laura's flower.

Abel, or his children and grandchildren, can escape underwater through a submarine that is always on hand.

On the surface, Laura's Flower will be a marvelous modern luxury marvel that blends the beauty of modern design.

But in terms of security functionality, it is definitely not inferior to the white house, or the safe houses of other super-rich people.

Little Laura, who knew all of Abel's thoughts about Laura's flower, naturally attached infinite importance to it.

In little Laura's heart, this place may become the last refuge for her and Abel's children in the future.

It's okay not to pay attention to it.

"That's necessary." Faced with her question, Abel smiled and said:

"For the sake of you and our future children, no matter how much investment you make, I will never give up."

Abel did not answer the question directly, but offered such a sentence.

He knew that as long as he grasped this point, even if it was a few billion dollars more, little Laura would definitely agree.

【The Road to Wealth in the United States】 【】

This is also a love sentence.

"Okay." Little Laura smiled and stopped talking about it, picked up her own small dinner knife, and began to cut the steak and eat.

Half an hour later.

"See you in the evening, dear."

"See you in the evening."

In the carriage, Abel, who had changed into a suit, and little Laura by the window kissed her and said goodbye to her with a smile.

When the convoy left the villa, Abel in the back compartment closed his eyes and whispered - "Go to the Parliament building".

The motorcade pulled out of the affluent neighborhood of Austin and began its journey to the Texas State Capitol.

The Texas State Capitol, built in 1885, covers 51 acres and was designed by architect Yoniah Meyer to resemble the Capitol in Washington.

This makes it look like Capitol Hill, one of the symbols of the two poles of power in the United States.

In the era when it was designed and built, it did have the hope of replacing the parliament building on the Washington side.

It's a pity that the Confederate States of America in the south lost the war to the United States of America in the north.

The original Capitol of the Confederate States of America could only be turned into the Texas State Capitol.

If only the South had won the war that year.

The current Capitol Hill will definitely not be the first street southeast in Washington, D.C.

It's 1100 Capitol Avenue in Austin, Texas.

Unlike now, many times the Texas State Capitol, it can only be used as a famous tourist attraction in Austin.

But if the Confederate States of America had won the war.

Whether that will be the current United States is a big question mark.

At that time, the plantation owners in the south were not interested in the factories in the north.

If they are allowed to win, the industrialization process of the North American continent will definitely be slowed down by several decades.

If you go to that timeline.

Perhaps the current Confederate States of America, it can probably only be a powerful country, Australia, Brazil, and Argentina.

Then the history of this world does not know where it will go.

It's just that history has no ifs.

The Confederate States of America did not win, it was the United States of America that won.

So now, the Texas State Capitol, it's only a state functional building that can only be used as a tourist attraction and when the state legislature is in session.
