Dr. Houston, 324 Buckingham Road. This lavish neoclassical estate is located on a secluded street corner on more than 2 acres of beautiful, wooded and private surroundings, and is within easy reach of downtown Houston for easy access to downtown Houston.

This is the manor house that Scarlett Johansson was sent to at noon. At 5 p.m., Scarlett saw Abel's motorcade return.

In the convoy, I only saw Abel, and I didn't see any other women. Scarlett Johansson was a little complacent at first.

If you can, except for certain women with special XP. Normal women generally don't like to share the same sex with other people of the same sex.

Scarlett Johansson is the same at a young age. After seeing Abel get out of the car, Scarlett, who was very happy, hesitated to go out.

Or wait for him to come in and look for himself. She found that it didn't take long for Abel's convoy to come in. Many other vehicles drove into the manor one after another.

From a distance, there are many cars, and judging from the color and style of the car, it should not be the same people.

Scarlett immediately knew that it was probably Abel's guest. At this time, she felt that she should not bother.

A star girl who was born as a child star, wisely chose to hide in the room on the second floor and look at the situation below.

Just like Scarlett Johansson thought. After Abel's return, there were indeed many people who came to this manor villa with him.

The founding families of the Texas consortium, their rulers and core figures, all followed Abel.

Stand next to your own Cadillac monster. With a smile on his face, Abel watched Davis Brown's and the other old guys get out of their car.

"It's a beautiful house." Martin Elkins, the youngest of the people who got out of the car, was only about 50 years old, and as soon as he got out of the car, he said, "I have a house next door, it's not so pretty." Rodriguez McKitson, the central figure of the Mackison family, also smiled and said, "I remember this house, it seemed to have been the property of the Cullen family before. A few years ago, it was listed for $8 million. I liked it at the time but it was too expensive, but I didn't expect it to be bought by your real estate company. Right now...... It's already worth at least $12 million. "Texas used to have a Cullen family, which, at its peak, accounted for more than 40 percent of Texas' oil production.

It was one of the four most famous oil magnates in the United States during the Gilded Age. The founder, Royin Cullen, is a big man who is older than the founder of Lockphile and Morgun.

However, kingship does not last forever, and neither does the rich family. The family has since declined, so much so that even the ancestral property has begun to be sold.

Looking at the old men, the evaluation of the industry under their name. Abel smiled slightly, and said in a soft voice, "It's really not bad. But I think we should focus more on our property than on a place to live or whatever. I don't want my grandchildren, like Robert Cullen, to sell their ancestral business to make ends meet. With that, Abel pointed to the courtyard garden of the villa.

"It was beautiful and we could talk while walking and enjoying the view by the way. What do you think? The old men looked at each other.

Davis Brown, who was most familiar with Abel, smiled and said, "Why not?" It's really beautiful. The old fellow walked over first.

As soon as he moved, Rodriguez McKison hesitated, smiled at Abel and nodded, and then followed Davis Brown.

Martin Elkins and the other two old men did not hesitate and walked over there. Abel followed.

Among the people who stayed was John J. Brown, who drove for his uncle Davis Brown, today. This famous man in Texas looked at the back of the taller Abel in the distance.

Among the younger generation of the Texas J. Brown family, he is currently the most capable middle-aged man, and he can't help but sigh in his heart.

Among the members of the Texas consortium. John J. Brown knew Abel before his uncle, Davis Brown.

That was almost two years ago, in 2000. At that time, John J. Brown, who had just been promoted to the position of General Manager of the New York branch of the Commercial Bank of Texas, had just been promoted.

As the main person in charge of the Texas consortium, the largest city in the United States. John was expanding the influence of the Texas consortium in New York.

He paid for connections, invited the controllers of major media groups in New York, and held a charity dinner in New York.

It just so happened that at that time, it was also the time when Abel was making a name for himself in New York.

The "Wolf of Wall Street" took 10 months and shocked the entire Wall Street at the time. John looked up Abel Smith's experience.

Texans were surprised to find that such a dazzling figure on Wall Street was actually a veteran Texan.

It's a little brother from his hometown. In the spirit of holding together, there is also the psychology of wanting to investigate Abel. John extended an invitation to Abel.

He invited Abel to a charity banquet hosted by the Mercantile Bank of Texas and media magnates.

At that time, John J. Brown attached great importance to Abel. For this reason, John even arranged a very important C position for Abel in the party venue culture in New York and Los Angeles.

made Abel, whose status had not yet been shown at that time, attract attention at the banquet. To put it mildly, Yin Kana also really felt Abel's influence at that time.

At that time, she was a little attracted to Abel for the first time, and began to play with women's small tricks, wanting to pua Abel.

[The problem of slow update of new chapters has finally been solved on the app that can change the source, here download huanyuanapp to change the source app, and view the latest chapters of this book on multiple sites at the same time.

It's just that Abel grew up too fast, and she didn't succeed in PUA. Instead, I just put myself in it.

At that banquet, John J. Brown's conversation with Abel was pleasant. It was on that occasion that John J. Brown reported the existence of Abel Smith to his uncle.

Subsequently, there was the Texas consortium, which paid attention to Abel. The attention of the Texas consortium also attracted Herbert's attention in the follow-up.

Later, because of his reserve or arrogance, he first discovered Abel's Texas consortium, but he didn't have a very good relationship with Abel.

And Herbert because of his decisiveness, as well as his friendship with Alex. Let the Smith family be tied to the chariot of the Bush family early.

Now, two years have passed. Two years ago, even in New York, the status was no match for John's Abel.

Now he has grown to the point where he needs to be looked up to by John. Even in the future, it may become the leader of the Texas consortium.

This change in status made John J. Brown can't help but sigh in his heart that things are impermanent.

Two years ago, the little brother of the same country, became his own boss and obeyed orders two years later.

Such a change was somewhat difficult for John to accept. It's just that the times are stronger than people, and John knows that even if it is difficult to accept, he has to accept it.

And Abel, who was being emotionally moved by John, did not know the complex psychological activities of John J. Brown at the moment.

In the beautiful courtyard with no one around, Abel is haggling with five old guys. Although the basic framework for the cooperation and merger between the two parties was formalized last year.

The two sides have also been in contact, consultation, and study for several months in the negotiations on the details that should be available. Preparations for the merger and reorganization have also been carried out for almost a month.

But there is never too much such thing as interest, no matter who it is. The attitude that should be there, the things that should be fought for, whether it is the other party or Abel himself, will naturally try to get more.

What if it is really just a few words, or an attitude, that you can get even 0.01% more shares?

Who wouldn't want the money they picked up for nothing.

"Hughes Aircraft has a 6.9 percent stake in General Dynamics, and I want to divest it." Facing 5 old guys who have great influence in Texas, and even in the South and Central America.

Abel said eloquently: "I need this 6.9% stake. Of course, it's not my personal need anymore. My idea is to spin Gulfstream Aerospace out of General Dynamics and into the hands of our Texans with this 6.9 percent stake. "Hughes Aircraft Company's current reputation is not very big in the United States.

But in the past, it used to be the first aircraft company in the United States, and there was also a leading defense group.

His founder, Howard Hughes, is the creative prototype of comic book characters such as Batman and Iron Man.

The company started out as a miscellaneous. Later, after the death of Howard Hughes, it was torn apart by the gluttonies who rushed to it.

The Texas consortium took advantage of the situation and snatched the fattest piece of it, that is, the Hughes Aircraft Company.

This company now actually does not produce complete machines. Its main business is the production of various military-grade aviation and aerospace accessories.

Its main customers are Boeing, Raytheon, Martin, NASA and other aviation and aerospace giants.

Let's put it this way, Hughes Aircraft Company's position in the American aviation and aerospace community. Roughly speaking, it is equivalent to the position of Bosch, Aisin, and ZF in the automotive industry combined.

It and the company, the Lin-Temko-Watt Company, are controlled by the Texas consortium, two of the most powerful armies. Fire Company.

Abel's most coveted Texas consortium is also these two companies. The consortium originally also had a Tennico company.

It is one of the largest oil and gas pipeline transportation companies in the United States, accounting for more than 35% of the industry share.

In terms of the energy industry, Tannico is even more powerful than the Koch brothers' Koch Energy. Unfortunately, it is for this reason that the company has been infiltrated by the Rockefeller consortium.

Because the core of the Texas consortium, that is, finance, has been relatively weak. The Texas consortium could not hold the Tennico Company, so much so that the current Tennico Group has become the common property of the two consortiums.

Then again, the Mogun and Rockphile are too penetrating. Even on the side of the California consortium, there are many traces of Rockfeller.

For example, the famous Wells Fargo Bank, like Rockefeller, holds more than 10% of the shares. Another example is the DuPont consortium, which should now be called the DuPont-Morgun consortium.

Because most of its core industries have long been infiltrated by the Mahogon consortium. It is not so much an independent consortium as it is actually a peripheral member of the Mahogon Consortium.

These circumstances also reflect the horror of Mahogon and Rockphil from the side. The two owners of the Federal Reserve, who have long controlled the main lifeblood of the country behind the scenes, through various sophisticated means.

What kind of oilman or something, at most they are their accountants and housekeepers.

"Gulfstream Aerospace ......," Martin Elkins muttered softly, "I remember it was just a civil airline?" Producing private jets? Among the five old fellows, the patriarch of the Hunt family, Liam H.L. Hunt, who had never spoken, whispered, "Yes." Its performance is not bad. Speaking of Liam H.L. Hunt, his father and uncle, are often seen in some of the reborn business genres of the '80s in China.

Herbert Hunter and Bunker Hunt. In the mid-80s, the two brothers hoarded silver in large quantities in an attempt to monopolize the world silver price.

The result was a fiasco in the silver investment of the two Hunter brothers. These losses, combined with the oil and sugar industry recession at the time, reduced the family's wealth by one-third.

Until then, the Hunters had been the No. 1 nucleus of the Texas consortium. Because the richest.

After that, Liam H.L. Hunt came to power in the mid-90s. The Hunter family has long fallen to the top of the list, and has fallen to the bottom of the five families of the Texas consortium.

Therefore, the wealthy are not afraid of being a gentleman. What the wealthy are really afraid of is the kind of successor who has little ability, has low eyes, but wants to do a big business...... At most, the former will ruin their reputation and lose some money.

If the latter is not done well, the entire family may be destroyed. The Hunter family of the Texas consortium is the best example.

"A civilian-oriented, mainly private jet production company." Martin Elkins questioned: "Is it worth it to trade a 6.9% stake in General Dynamics?" "General Dynamics is the world's sixth-largest defense contractor, and its 6.9 percent stake is a significant asset.

Use this wealth in exchange for shares in a civilian company that specializes in the production of private jets. It's no wonder that Martin Elkins is skeptical.

"Listen...... I have a well-established plan. Abel explained his thoughts to the old fellows.

In fact, if he could, Abel would prefer to say something. But the old guys have already taken a stand. Even if the two consortia merge in the future.

Whether it becomes Texas Smith, or Smith Texas. The old guys all insist that the financial sector, media sector, and Internet sector of the consortium can be taken care of and presided over by Abel Yili.

But in the energy and military. In the field of fire and heavy industry, etc. They insisted that the original Texas consortium should still be in charge of this.

For this kind of request, Abel readily agreed. The reason is simple. That is, it doesn't matter which consortium or chaebol it is.

In the end, it will only be the banks that can hold the biggest say. Banks, it is the foundation of the consortia and chaebols.

Holding the most important part of the consortium, Abel is not afraid that the merger with the Texas consortium will affect his right to speak.

"We have the best aircraft parts company in the world, and Hughes Aircraft can even produce its own engines."

"We can start with Gulfstream Aerospace and start producing our own aircraft." Abel looked at the old guys: "In 2001, Boeing's annual turnover was as high as $50.5 billion. ”

"We all know that aircraft manufacturing is a lucrative industry. Of Boeing's $50.5 billion turnover, net profit alone is as high as $10.46 billion, with an average of $30 million a day. ”

"Tell me." Abel's gaze swept over Davis Brown, Martin Elkins and others.

"How much money did you make last year? If there is no rich Khan, can it exceed 20 billion US dollars? ”

"And ...... Maybe you guys will say. We don't have to work hard to develop and produce airplanes like Boeing, and we can still make more money than them. ”

"For example...... Let the white house increase the intensity of military spending, even if you finish fighting Fuhan Ali, you can also fight a dozen Gambia or something. ”

"Another example, let me plunder more wealth in the world's capital battlefield."

"These two methods, the speed at which they make money, are not lost to Boeing at all, and may even be faster and more."

"You ...... Isn't that what you think? In the face of Abel's direct words. Davis Brown, the others were silent.

Because that's what they really think, in fact. Why did George and the White House, knowing that the terrain of Fu Khan was bad, had dragged the Red Empire to exhaustion.

I also know that ghost place, there is no oil and gas, and the mine is particularly difficult to dig, and the profit is visible to the naked eye.

Even if it is defeated, it doesn't have much oil and water. But the white house was still desperate and threw in heavy troops.

It doesn't matter how good it is on the surface, what is for the justice of the Americans, for the sake of fighting KBZY. These are all imaginary.

The real reason is that the Texas consortium and several other people of the same kind, as well as a large group of other vested interests, are strongly supporting and promoting it behind the scenes.

Obviously, it is a very money-losing sum for the United States

"Buying and selling". But George and the White House did it anyway. Because in doing so, it is all Americans who lose money, and the world that is sucked by the blood of the United States.

But the Texas consortium and several other similar people, as well as a large number of vested interests, this part of the people are making a lot of money, and they are making it very easily.

Trillions of dollars...... If this money is used for future rabbits to fight, don't consider Muhai.

It is estimated that the Asian empire will be able to be established. As for the United States, it is on 640,000 square kilometers of land, ploughing over and over again.

The key is not a triumphant victory in the end, or a gray retreat. From the perspective of a businessman, this is a loss to the grandmother's family for the United States.

If Abel didn't show up. In parallel time and space, there is no Texas consortium that has caught the spring breeze of the Internet and has no financial core.

They really relied on George's eight years to make a good fortune in this area. By the way, the loneliness of the United States was advanced by at least 20 years.

With the climb of the position, today's Abel has begun to not want the United States to be lonely early. The so-called position determines the head, and the capitalist Abel Smith knows that after the peak, it will fall.

But he also wanted to try it and see if he could delay the fall a little. At least...... At least let him be cool for a few more years.

So he gave the Texas consortium, an alternative to war and finance. A different path from other consortia, or capitalists.
