Chapter 554: America's Terrifying Monster

The city of Santa Maria, on the way to the airport.

In the carriage of the Cadillac monster, Neil Bush smiled and whispered to Abel, "You don't know how happy that dean is." $1 million, that's probably the highest donation check he's ever received. ”

Abel shrugged: "I hope that out of the 1 million, at least $100,000 can really fall on those poor children." ”

Neil hesitated for a moment when he heard him say this, then smiled and nodded, "I hope so." ”

The truth of "disaster relief first rescue officer", Abel and Neil actually understand.

The United States has the largest number of charitable funds in the world, as well as the largest variety of charitable organizations.

Here, philanthropy has long since become a business. A very tall skin, but secretly engaged in all kinds of dirty business.

The pirate-turned-Ansas, who had accumulated enough raw capital through bloody plunder, began to go ashore. In order to cover up the past, and at the same time to satisfy his own high-level emotional needs as a human being, he developed such a thing as charity.

But pirates are pirates after all, and their charity is only an emotional need. The important thing for them is that this emotional need can be met.

As for whether or not it is really charitable, it doesn't matter.

If it is really to be investigated, then almost 99% of the charitable funds and organizations in the United States must be dark inside.

For example, there is a kind of "bloody adoption" in the United States.

There are many places in the United States where federal and state governments subsidize families who have adopted children.

In California, for example, families who have adopted orphans receive more than $1,000 a month in government subsidies, which are partly cash.

In addition to these, there are also various local charities that also provide things including Nyono powder and various children's products.

These also add up to a few hundred dollars.

In the end, adopting a child can get at least about $1,500 a month in California, including some tax deductions.

There is clearly a lot of interest to be drawn here.

There are some couples who adopt children exclusively, often several at a time. And then they can get five or six thousand dollars a month in these subsidies.

At $5,000, that's a lot of money in the United States.

The key is that you don't have to pay taxes yet, and you can still make some tax cuts......

So in the United States, there are many families that adopt orphans like this.

But the problem is that many of these children were adopted for money and subsidies in the first place.

There are some scum in it, so there are often news of orphans being abused in such families after they are adopted.

Even if you are not abused, it is impossible to live well when you encounter that kind of heart-wrenching person.

Simply put, it is a subsidy fraud, and it is very common.

There are many, many similar examples, and they are not limited to orphan adoption.

As for what the top of the charitable fund is greedy. Unclean. Accept. Things like bribery, embezzlement, that's more.

Abel is actually very clear about these things. The newspaper under his name exposes a lot of reports every year.

But he still donates a lot every year.

One is for their own personality, and at the same time, they can indeed reduce taxes.

The second is that so much money is donated, even if only 1% can go to those in need.

This is somewhat of a consolation for a soul who was born under the red flag but has fallen in the world of capital.

Now Abel is going to drop his father-in-law off at the small airport in Santa Maria, where Neil will fly to Los Angeles and then take a regular direct flight to Washington.

Able could have sent him on his own private jet, but for the sake of personality - after becoming a member of Congress, Neil now needs this kind of thing.

Nowadays, many times, Abel's father-in-law will try to be as common as possible.

This will help in the extraction of votes when he needs to campaign.

This time, he just came to his own constituency, and with the help of Smith Media, he and Abel performed a routine Zhengzhi show.

This kind of righteous show must be good at every American politician. If you are not good at it, you will not be able to climb up at all.

Now even Alexander, the high-level red neck who used to be straightforward, is now acting well.

In an elected system, this is a skill that all politicians must have.

Before boarding, Neil patted Abel on the shoulder and whispered:

"I will do everything I can to promote new energy. You can't always be the one who helps me and I don't do anything. Moreover, this kind of green environmental protection matter can be taken for granted by me, the current member of the Donkey Party Congress. ”

Able smiled, "I've had a conversation with the Zippers, and their faction will support it. ”

"Understood." Neil was more confident, "But on the side of the Elephant Party, there should still be a lot of opposition from it." If everyone uses electricity, who will use the oil? ”

"You can use both oil and electricity. Our country is very big, and if you want to be environmentally friendly, you can use electricity. If you don't want to be environmentally friendly, you will continue to use oil. Able smiled and shrugged.

"Makes sense." Neil left happily.

Abel also did not stop in the city of Santa Maria, and later he got on a plane to San Francisco.

After arriving in Silicon Valley, Abel spent more than two days making routine rounds of his Internet companies.

Two days later, he returned to Los Angeles.

In the morning, the blinding April sun of Los Angeles shines through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Abel can't keep his eyes open.

In a daze, he reached out to hug Ikana and Paris beside him, and after Ikana pounced on his side, he touched Paris as he wished.

Miss Hilton really doesn't have the same ambition as Ikana.

Unlike Ikana, who stays up until 3 o'clock and can still insist on getting up early in the morning.

Holding the soft and feminine scent of Paris, she squinted for a few more seconds, and then Abel turned over, turned her back to the sky, lazily opened her arms, stretched her waist, yawned, and sat up directly.

He reached out and grabbed his hair and looked at the clock on the wall, it was already 8 o'clock. Today is the day he's leaving California, and he's flying to Florida to put the finishing touches on the Cardina Health acquisition.

Once successful, Abel will convene the company's shareholders' meeting, overturn the table, officially join the board of directors of Cardina Health, and complete the final closing of the net!

This will also fire his first shot in the field of medical complexes for Abel Smith.

You must know that in the United States, there are several major interest complexes.

In fact, the medical complex has always been the most influential and ranked first in the United States.

To be exact, a medical + insurance complex.

Below the medical complex, only then to the financial complex, and then to the military. Industrial complexes.

So the medical + insurance complex is the most terrifying monster in the United States.

Wow –

The steaming bath water from the shower washed over Abel's body, the crystallized post-war remnants of last night's victory of one enemy and two enemies.

After washing, Abel wore a white bathrobe, wiped his hair, walked out of the bedroom, and went down the stairs.

In the dining room, Ikana, who was wearing a belted nightgown with white flowers on a dark blue background, heard his footsteps coming downstairs, raised her eyebrows and smiled sweetly, appeared at the staircase on the first floor with a cup of coffee, and watched Abel walk down.

"Good morning, dear."

"Good morningβ€”"

Abel smiled and kissed Ikana, then took the steaming, fragrant coffee, reached out and walked to the sofa in the living room with her waist around her.

"Look at you, the dark circles under your eyes are a little uncovered. If you're really tired, you don't have to go to work. Like Paris, she's smart, she's in charge of YKM. But when it's time to rest, it's time to rest, and somebody always does it anyway. ”

After the two sat down, Abel put the coffee cup on the table and teased Ikana with a sideways smile.

"You guy...... I'm not like Paris! As you said, you want me to be the queen of socials. I want my own efforts in my crown, not just you putting it on my head. ”

The corners of Ikana's mouth turned up, and she hammered Abel with a sweet smile. However, she knew that her man had never been very interested in the Internet, so she didn't care, but picked up the newspaper on the table and handed it to him.

"Look at this newspaper."

"Huh?" Abel took the newspaper and opened it, frowned and said, "What's wrong?" ”

"Some members of Congress, led by Congressman Neil Bush, have introduced plans in the House of Representatives to develop a new energy source in the United States. It is necessary to increase subsidies of 60 billion US dollars per year for new energy industries, including photovoltaics. Then a number of members of Congress, led by Mr. Alexander Smith, opposed such a proposal. They believe that the so-called new energy industry, which has not even planned what it is, but has given such a large subsidy, which is not in the interests of the United States. ”

Ikana teasingly said the long words above, staring at Abel without blinking, and continued with a smile:

"Now, dear...... Your father-in-law and your father are arguing in the media. ”

It turned out to be this incident, Abel, who had already seen the newspaper report, shook his head and smiled lightly.

"Isn't this normal and ordinary? When the members and gentlemen of the National Assembly don't quarrel, that's the real big news. ”

He said disapprerovingly.

The "dispute" between his father and father-in-law this time is known to anyone with a discerning eye, and this is actually Smith himself playing tricks.

In the end, whether Neil wins or Alexander's victory, Abel will not suffer.

Because this guy, the left hand new energy, the right hand oil and oil gas. Anyway, no matter what kind of favorable policies are introduced, it will be a good thing for him.

Of course, from the perspective of the bar, it can also be a bad thing......

And Abel also knows very well that Neil's proposal should not be able to pass this time.

First, now in Washington, it is clear that the Xiang Party is stronger. In parallel time and space, Musk's Tesla was able to get help because Lao Hei happened to come to power at that time.

Environmental protection and new energy are the basic plate of the Donkey Party.

It's strange that the elephant party will support it.

Second, there is no specific concept of new energy in the United States.

In parallel time and space, the formation of this concept will not be until 06 years later.

This time and space is dominated by Abel, although Tesla appeared in advance.

However, the specific industrial chain and layout have only just begun.

We have to wait for Tesla to actually produce things, and then make some big news in a row.

Only then will there be a way to force the federal government to introduce relevant policies and subsidies.

This time it's kind of a sound.

This is also the main thing that Abel discussed with Neil in addition to acting in Santa Maria City a few days ago.

Seeing Abel's attitude, Ikana smiled, and after thinking about it, she still cared about her father-in-law: "Uncle Alexander shouldn't have any problems, right?" ”

As for Neil, how could she possibly care?

She still longs for the other party to fall. I just don't say it.

"What's the problem? This incident was actually Neil and my father, who officially took the stage in Washington and determined the status of their two political rookies. Able smiled, closed the newspaper, reached out and patted Ikana's little hand, explaining.

Half an hour later.

"Well, dear, are you sure you don't want to go to Florida with me? I've heard you say that your family often vacations there. And this is my first trip to Florida, maybe you can be my tour guide? ”

In the main living room of the Beverly Hills Manor Villa, Abel was wearing a slim suit, hugging the reluctant Ikana, and asked softly while kissing her.

"Forget it, you're not really traveling. And I still have work to do, and I want to see that Twitter you talk about going live soon! Ikana smiled and shook her head, "Alright, go ahead, I'll wait for the good news of your health in Cardina!" ”

Speaking of this, Ikana's beautiful eyes shone brightly, and the acquisition of the medical complex that her man provoked to change the pattern of the medical complex has been boiling for several months, and the finishing touches are about to be completed.

Thinking that the Smith family wants to control a listed company with a market value of tens of billions, or a company within a medical complex that all the upper echelons know about the huge energy, a pharmaceutical giant.

Thinking of this, Ikana couldn't be calm. The value of assets is still secondary, mainly the social influence and business power generated, which are incalculable values.

The man himself was born in the military-industrial complex, and now he is involved in the financial complex, the energy complex, the Internet high-tech complex, and the media complex at the same time......

Even in fact, Ikana knew that there was a smith farm under her man's name.

This is the agricultural complex.

Unconsciously, his own man has used his terrifying ability to weave a large net in all walks of life throughout the United States, where all the political, business, military and civilian people are enveloped.

A woman who thought that she was such a man also gave birth to a child for him.

She couldn't help but be excited in her heart - Mu Qiang is the common nature of all women!

"Then I'm leaving, dear, I'll call you when I arrive, po~"

Abel didn't know that she thought so much, and after finishing speaking, he kissed her on the forehead, walked out of the living room door with her waist, held her pretty face again, kissed it again, smiled and nodded, and turned to get into the car.

Ikana tugged at her bangs, smiled and waved to Abel who lowered the window and waved at her, and watched the convoy leave, before turning around and walking towards the courtyard, where she was waiting for another small convoy to leave for the company.

As for Paris, she loves to sleep so lazy, so she will take care of the children at home today!

At Los Angeles International Airport, Abel boarded the plane with a happy smile on Lydia's face.

Abel looked at Lydia Hirst, who was wearing a long khaki trench coat, intellectual and elegant, showing her outstanding temperament.

With a pair of khaki straight-leg pants and beige high heels, it is capable and stylish, full of luxury. Whether it is walking posture or temperament, the current Lydia is indeed very attractive to him.

This time he went to Florida, which he had never been to before, and he brought her a woman over. Lydia herself was speculating that she would not be able to escape this time.

In fact, Abel does plan to take this opportunity to eat this Hearst daughter who has been adjusted by himself for half a year.

"Boss, coffee."

"Hmm."

After the Boeing 747 took off, Abel, who was checking Cardina's health details, looked up at Lydia, seeing that her face was full of joy, he smiled and reached out to pick up the coffee cup on the table, took a small sip, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smashed his mouth.

Then proceed to the Cardina Health profile.

The founder of the pharmaceutical giant is called Robert J. D. Walter.

Like the founders of other businesses, Robert M. D. Walter was also stripped of most of his equity in the long development of the company.

Similarly, as the founder, Robert M. D. Walter was also a huge influence on Cardina Health.

This time, Abel launched an attack on Cardina's health, and the main work was spent on leveling Robert K. D. Walter.

And this founder, for the sake of turning those dry stocks into real dollars, he is happy to cooperate with the intentions of Abel Smith, a super oligarch.

Up to now, Abel has acquired 39.6% of Cardina Health's shares through cash and a large number of shares of Smith-based companies.

It's the absolute majority shareholder, but there are problems with these stocks.

They exploited some of the loopholes in Florida's laws.

So since the end of last year, the lawsuit has been fought.

On Abel's side, the super luxury team of lawyers, led by Ms. Carolyn Jonder Leenquist, has been in Florida for five months.

The litigation costs of both parties combined cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

This time, Abel came to give an explanation to the other shareholders of Cardina Health outside the law.

At the same time, it is also a threat.

Either take the money and leave, or take the lawsuit to the Supreme Court.

When the time comes, it will be up to Chief Leenqvist to support justice or support you Florida guys!

After making sure that it was basically safe, Able closed the information sheet.

At half past five p.m. East Coast time, the plane landed smoothly on the runway of Miami International Airport.

Miami International Airport is located not far from downtown Miami and is one of the most important international airports in the entire South Florida metropolitan area.

Alan and David, who had been waiting for a long time, stood next to the convoy, saw Abel and Lydia get off the plane, greeted them with a smile, Abel and they each hugged each other, got into the car, and the convoy quickly drove off the tarmac.

Taking advantage of the golden sunshine of the sunset, Abel enjoyed the view of Miami city outside the window as the motorcar drove on the road to downtown Miami.

Florida has a warm climate, fertile soil and abundant water sources, which provide excellent conditions for agricultural development. Citrus production accounts for 75% of the total U.S. production. Vegetable production is second only to California. Agriculture and tourism and manufacturing make up the three pillars of the state's economy. The forest coverage rate is 60%.

Miami is the second largest city in Florida and the largest city in the South Florida metropolitan area, which consists of Miami-Dade County, Broward County, and the famous Palm Beach County.

Palm Beach County is home to many mansions and is known as the most wealthy place in the United States to live in Palm Beach.

Well, Ikana's Mar-a-Lago estate after her dad is in Palm Beach.

And now, Abel's convoy also passes directly through downtown Miami without stopping, and the destination is Palm Beach.
