Abel's attitude at the door of the MGM Building made Governor Davis a little overjoyed.

He brought so many reporters with him that he hoped that they would be able to take pictures of him entering the MGM Tower.

As long as this level is achieved, the reporters can write brilliantly and bring him and Abel closer together.

This can play a good role in his current public opinion.

Who called the aura on Abel's body is too dazzling and too positive. As soon as he got involved with Abel, even people like Soros are now starting to be a little "white".

It can only be said that under the efforts of Abel in the past few years, under the conditions of various fate, his character is too positive and too American dream.

Now Davis didn't expect that Abel would actually greet him at the door and appear directly in front of the media.

It's simply telling the media that he does have a good relationship with Davis.

How could this not excite the disgraced Davis?

Subsequently, at the suggestion of Abel, a large number of local media in California were singled out as a few of the most influential.

For example, the Los Angeles Times, the San Jose Courier, the San Francisco News, the San Francisco Chronicle and several others were allowed to enter the MGM Movie Building for filming.

Let these reporters continue to film and interview the exchange between Governor Davis and Abel Smith.

This can be regarded as the California governor's inspection and visit to MGM Motion Pictures.

Naturally, this process has long been properly arranged by Robert Iger, the CEO of MGM Motion Pictures.

After about an hour of processing, the reporters were all satisfied.

The show has ended, after sending the reporters away.

The meal really begins.

In a conference room in the MGM Movie Building.

Robert Iger was the companion, and Abel was on his side with David and Allen.

Davis, on his side, was Mr. Governor and one of his brains.

As soon as he came up, Davis said in a sincere voice:

"By the way, dear Abel, is your Tesla company planning to build a factory?"

Abel raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "There is indeed this kind of consideration, and the research and development of our first product is on the right track." It is not long before mass production, and of course we must start building a gigafactory in preparation for a rainy day. However, everything is still under investigation. Why do you care about this? Any good suggestions? ”

"How about California?"

"I'm sorry, I can't help you!"

Even if Abel wanted to help him, it was impossible not to bargain, and it seemed that this problem really couldn't be helped.

"Corporate taxes and land prices are too expensive here in California. And the guild here is also very difficult to entangle. Building a production base here will increase our costs unreasonably. This is really not a good thing for Tesla, which has not yet officially succeeded. ”

"Electric vehicles are a new type of industry, green and pollution-free. The state government is considering supporting the industry. As long as Tesla is willing to build a factory in California, it must be the first high-tech company to receive such subsidies and subsidies. ”

Davis talks about conditions.

Abel was also very good, he said, "What about the land and the guild." ”

"You don't need to mention the land, right? I believe that with your character, Abel, it is impossible for you to rent land. And if you want to buy land, the state government is powerless in this regard. ”

"Thanks to" the system with American characteristics, Mr. Governor has no control over the affairs of a region or even a city.

But Davis knew that the guy in front of him had a lot of land in California.

In terms of land for building a factory, Abel is absolutely indispensable. To deliberately mention this aspect now is to bargain.

In the end, there is only one guild question left.

The problem is found all over the United States, but the worst places are in California and Michigan.

Here in California, Hollywood's actors' union, screenwriters' union, etc., are all very strong, as are energy and other unions.

As the most "donkey" place, it is really a little unfriendly to industrial capitalists.

This is also the reason why the California consortium is a super head snake, but it is very powerless in the political arena here.

But in fact, compared to California, what is even more outrageous is the guild in Michigan.

That's you, black Detroit!

Once upon a time, as the earliest developed continent on the East Coast, Michigan was not inferior to New York State. Detroit, at its peak, is not inferior to New York.

But what about now?

Auto unions play Detroit to death!

This organization, whose influence in the right way is second only to the National Rifle Association, has pitted the three major automobile giants in the United States, which is obvious to the whole world.

The auto unions are already notorious, so let them rot slowly with the fall of Detroit!

Abel spoke:

"Tesla's CEO, Jack Cage, told me that companies and workers are like a marriage, and only when the two are close and work together can they grow."

"If there's a guild in between, like a third party in a marriage, it's going to be bad. ”

"Because this "third party" organizes workers to strike at every turn, forces enterprises to make concessions, allows workers to get higher benefits and wages, and does not allow enterprises to fire workers, and those workers who should be eliminated do nothing and receive their wages as ......."

Moreover, the various trade guilds in the United States have actually degenerated into public organizations of a semi-gray social nature.

Typically, in New York City, 90 percent of the unions are closely related to the Big Five.

In Detroit, the relationship is closer to 100 percent.

The trade unions in the United States have long ceased to be grassroots organizations composed of ordinary workers, but are political and economic interest groups run by the union aristocracy.

And these union aristocrats are often inextricably linked to the American underworld. They are often unscrupulous in order to achieve their ends.

What kind of shooting intimidation, hiring murderers, throwing dead fish at shady media offices...... It's all too common.

For example, when Abel and Newhouse confronted each other, the Big Five controlled by him used to do this kind of thing.

What's more, there are reports in the United States claiming that the assassination of the brain-minded leader was because he opposed the union aristocracy and the underground forces, and was murdered by both sides.

Whether it's true or not, their reputation has long since stinked on the streets anyway.

Therefore, the companies under Abel's name all the time have not given them the opportunity to stick to themselves.

It was he who took the initiative to solve this problem in advance.

Like Abel in California, he first got acquainted with the local union aristocratic wealthy Corso. Dealing with the upper echelons in advance saved him from being affected by these scum on the California side.

The situation in Texas is much better, the voice of the guild is not very loud, and the Texas consortium controls it very well.

In New York, Abel lured the Big Five Underground and influenced the union aristocracy through these gray societies.

It's the other way around with California, but the effect is the same. It's that his industries in New York are relatively high-end, but in fact, the union aristocracy has little influence.

It's different here in California, the Coso family is gradually unable to suppress other local union aristocrats, and Pacific Energy is already feeling a little pressure in this regard.

Now bargaining, Abel wants Davis to give him a little help in this regard, otherwise he will not let Tesla's factory land in California.

It's just clear that this kind of condition is very difficult for Davis to do.

Mr. Governor is now too late to curry favor with the union aristocracy in order to be re-elected, where is it possible to offend them.

The influence of these people on the votes is really not lost to the rifle association at all.

Seeing Mr. Governor's deflated face, Abel smiled. In fact, he also knew that this was just a bargain, and the other party couldn't afford to pay this price.

Abel took the initiative to bypass the topic.

"Dear Davis, I know what you want and what you need. Let's do it. Tesla's headquarters continues to stay in California, and we can't afford to lose the subsidies we deserve. But the factory I won't build here. ”

Hearing Abel's words, Davis's brows furrowed into a Sichuan zigzag.

If it's just a headquarters, how many high-quality jobs can it provide?

There are one or two thousand people in the sky, and that won't help at all. What Davis needs now is a company that can provide a large number of quality jobs.

Tesla can be considered the automotive industry, and the automotive industry is the kind of industry that can provide a large number of high-quality jobs.

There have long been rumors outside: Tesla is ready to build a factory and start mass production.

It is said that the factory will be very large. For this, everyone is happy to believe it. Because this gentleman is the character of throwing a lot of money at everything.

And the location of the legendary Gigafactory, there are currently several rumors.

Some say it's in California, because Tesla is in Silicon Valley. Some say it's in Texas, because Abel Smith is a Texan. Others say in New York State, because Abel Smith is a giant on Wall Street and New York.

As a top-level figure, Davis knows that this super factory is very likely to be in Texas, California, and New York.

That's why he was willing to come to the door, hoping that with various subsidies and expectations for the future, Abel could keep the factory in California.

In this way, he, the governor who contributed to this big investment, will naturally get the corresponding political achievements, which will be of great help to Davis's current situation.

"In that case......" Davis hesitated.

"Listen to me." Abel smiled faintly and said:

"Tesla won't build a factory in California, but ...... Now that international oil and gas prices are low, as an energy company that is dedicated to customers, Pacific Group can consider reducing its energy bills a little. I think...... That's enough to make you, dear Davis, deal with your dear voters, right? ”

The Sichuan character on Davis's eyebrows was instantly untied, and he smiled happily and said, "Oh, that's great." Pacific Energy is such a good company, worthy of a Californian! ”

Abel thought to himself, Pacific Energy's headquarters is now in Texas, where is the company of Californians.

However, Pacific Energy's business and sources of profit are indeed mostly in California at present.

More than three-fifths of California's natural gas supply and one-half of its electricity supply is provided by Pacific Energy.

This California power crisis, if it weren't for Pacific Energy's help, Davis's recall resolution would have started a long time ago, where would it have dragged on for so long.

And Davis came over this time, and what he wanted was a big watermelon.

Now I didn't get the watermelon, I only got an apple.

Although his heart was a little unsatisfied, Davis also knew that this was already a very good result.

I can't give Abel what I want, and what I can give is not very important to Abel.

Now that Abel is willing to take advantage of himself, it can already be said that he is very generous.

Davis thought to himself, let the media fry it when the time comes. When the time is right, we will announce that after their own efforts, Pacific Energy is willing to reduce the price of Californians.

Even if it is only a 1% reduction, it can make the media make efforts to describe Mr. Governor as a great contribution.

Getting the capitalists to make concessions really rarely happens in the United States.

Especially between the regular customers and the capitalists, this kind of thing has hardly happened in the United States since the death of Master Luo.

And he does it now!

Although that small price reduction may not be enough to make Davis beloved by all Californians.

But it should be enough to reverse public opinion for the time being and avoid the formation of a resolution to remove him.

After surviving the tough two years after the collapse of the Nasdaq, next year and even the end of this year, Davis feels that he will be in a much better place.

So Davis was content and left the MGM Cinema Building while the door continued to be filmed by reporters.

As for Abel, he also achieved his two goals.

One is the purpose of righteousness, which is more important.

The other is that if Tesla puts its headquarters in California, it can enjoy all the subsidies in California, and at least it will not make a lot of money at the economic level, at least it will not make a profit.

As Davis thought, Pacific Energy could indeed cut prices.

But at most, it will only drop a little, and the main purpose is to match Davis's performance.

It was impossible to really make Abel bleed in support of Davis.

Unless his father has the opportunity to be the commander, he can do this kind of thing that a capitalist would never do.

A few days later.

The exact time is April 2nd.

Abel is still in California.

It was close to noon that morning, in an orphanage on the southern coast of California.

"Once upon a time, there was a queen who gave birth to a little princess. The little boy has snow-white skin all over his body, and he is very beautiful, and he is called Snow White by everyone. Then Snow White's mother died, and the king married a new queen......"

Abel hugged a little black boy about three years old, lowered his head and pulled his hand out of his mouth, gave him a biscuit, and then continued to smile with a sunny and warm face, slowly telling the story of "Snow White" to the large group of children sitting around the orphanage.

This orphanage is located in Santa Maria, California.

The city of Santa Maria is part of Santa Barbara County on the southern coast of California. The city is known for its wine industry and characteristic style of barbecue.

Sunset magazine, which is very famous in terms of tourism, calls the city of Santa Maria "the best barbecue city in the West".

Aside from the wine industry and barbecue, this place is arguably unknown in the United States.

But here is Abel's father-in-law, Neil Bush, who is currently nominally the basic disk.

In the midterm elections late last year, Neil became a member of Congress, and most of the votes he received were in Santa Barbara County.

The lion's share is in the city of Santa Maria.

The reason-

Before the midterm elections at the end of last year, the merged Smith Agricultural Group acquired 11 wineries and a large number of vineyards in Santa Maria.

Today, 1/5 of the people here work for or are related to Smith Agriculture.

Since then, this constituency has become the basis of what is now Neil Shrub.

At this moment, beside Abel, who was telling stories to children, the honorable Councillor Neil Bush was looking at Abel surrounded by children with a smile on his face with the dean of the monks of the welfare home.

Next to the two of them, reporters from various media outlets surrounded Abel at 180 degrees, constantly taking photos of him and his children together.

From the perspective of reporters and cameras, even though the children in the welfare home are very noisy, there is no trace of boredom on the face of the world's richest man. He seemed to be so loving, like a loving father, who loved these poor children very much.

That kind of body movement and expression, it doesn't look like it's pretending at all.

This made the dean, who is accustomed to seeing politicians, tycoons, and celebrities come to the orphanage to put on a show, is actually very surprised.

The dean felt that either the acting skills of the gentleman in front of him were better than those good stars who had come here.

Either that, or maybe this gentleman, who is really benevolent, is a really good man.

Think of the donations this gentleman has made to major charitable foundations since he became famous, and the donations that have been made to Americans who really need help.

The dean felt in his heart that maybe this gentleman was really a good person.

Only Neil Bush's father-in-law knows.

The reason why Abel can behave so well is that he is so patient and loving to the children in these welfare homes.

Most likely, it's because his son-in-law really likes children. So much so that when he was only 23 years old, Abel had already given birth to a child with almost a football team.

Although he was complaining in his heart, Neil watched Abel not mind being touched by the children's saliva-stained little hands on his cheeks, which still made him a little admired.

Neil is proud of himself, probably not to this extent.

"Thank you, Mr. Bush, I didn't expect Mr. Smith to come."

At this time, hearing the dean's words, Neil hurriedly responded with a smile in front of the camera:

"That's what we should do, and Abel is very loving. I think all of us in society should be like him, to reach out to these poor and lovely children, it will make our world more ......."

In the face of media interviews, Neil, who has the excellent genes of the shrub family, talked eloquently, showing that Mr. Parliamentarian's current professional skills are very mature.

In the end, Abel and Neil left while the children were napping.

The director of the orphanage looked at the departing motorcade with a grateful and kind smile on his face.

Although he thinks that the richest man in the world may be really very caring.

But what makes Mr. Dean feel particularly good now is the check for a million dollars donated by Pocket Yaber in the name of the Smith Foundation.

This will allow the children in the orphanage to be better cared for.

It will also benefit Mr. Dean and the rest of the orphanage.

Children's lives can only be better if they, the adults who take care of the children, live better.

That's normal, isn't it?

This truth was well understood by the ancient Chinese Heshen and adults.

The so-called disaster relief first rescue officer is also.

It's all too common and normal in the United States.
