In Malibu Beach, stayed for about half a month.

After satisfying the wishes of the New York "celebrity girlfriends", Abel returned to Los Angeles.

When he returned to Los Angeles, the inspection report of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, the largest medical and medical technology base in the United States, was also sent to Abel.

Looking at the two reports, the names of D. Yinkana Lerner and Paris Hilton are very carefully marked with a special note of "1 week of pregnancy +-".

Abel nodded with great satisfaction, admiring his strong reproductive ability.

Please call me Super LargeStallion!

He put the two medical examination reports aside, and then casually whispered to David, the family office housekeeper in the passenger seat:

"As was the old practice, if they wanted to go on to Santa Barbara, it would be in Santa Barbara. If not, Beverly Hills is a good place too. Now it's not like before, they can be wherever they like."

Replaced by the previous Abel, he would cover up the pregnancy of his women.

Because this kind of thing is exposed, he himself is not afraid of trouble, but he is not very good to his women.

It used to be like this, but now it's different.

Ever since he compromised with the Morgons.

To a certain extent, it can be said that his affairs in this regard have become one of the taboos in the American media circles.

Except for the occasional small and medium-sized newspaper that is ignorant or not afraid of things.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Towards the famous Federal Bank Building in Los Angeles.

The building's location, and the nearby streets, are more densely populated than the rest of Los Angeles' streets and districts. Although it is not as dense as Manhattan in New York, it has a steady, thick architectural style and luxurious, atmospheric interior decoration.

Home to hundreds of banks and other financial institutions on the West Coast, it is seen as a replica of Wall Street in Los Angeles. This is the financial center of Los Angeles.

It is one of the most densely populated financial institutions in the world, with one of the world's largest foreign exchange markets and one of the international insurance markets, and it is one of the three largest financial centers in the United States, along with New York and San Francisco.

Then again, the first financial center of the United States was in Chicago.

But now, Chicago in the Rust Belt is completely black. The companies that can move away are almost all moved.

Except for one Chicago Board of Trade, there's not much left.

On the other hand, on the California side, Los Angeles and San Francisco have become the two new financial centers of the United States, relying on Silicon Valley and other high-tech industries, and have surpassed Chicago.

In the cabin of the Cadillac monster, Abel crossed Erlang's legs, his fingers lightly tapped on the armrest of the car seat on the side, and looked out the window at the Los Angeles financial center area.

He came here this time to attend a regular meeting of the Federal Reserve.

As already mentioned, the Fed meets 4 times a year, once every three months.

Most of the events are held in March, June, September and December. More than 60% of the venues are held in Washington.

The remaining 40% is not fixed. There are more in New York, and there are also many in Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Chicago has also been held in the past, and even in Hawaii or some islands in the Caribbean.

Because, to put it bluntly, this meeting is just a few internal meetings of the bankers who control the Fed every year.

If there is an important issue or decision, such as last year's decision on whether the California Consortium and the Texas Consortium could get more voting rights, the meeting is usually held in Washington.

As the center of power in the Empire, it was more suitable for important meetings.

But the members behind the Fed are all there is to it.

With so many meetings a year, it's impossible to have an important resolution every time.

Most of the time, these regular meetings are for everyone to meet and communicate with each other at the same time, so as not to have a scene of fighting each other.

It's like a tea party or a party.

So in many cases, as long as the atmosphere is more relaxed, regular meetings will even be held in those tourist paradises or famous attractions.

In order to facilitate everyone after the meeting, they can have a good time together and enhance their relationship.

After all, they are all the same, and many times there is actually the same amount of cooperation and competition.

Since they are of the same kind, of course, they have a common language, so it's not a bad thing to get together more.

As we are now, the second regular meeting of this year will be held on June 5th.

The venue has been decided to be held in Los Angeles, as both the California and Texas consortia voted in favor.

The address was chosen by Abel, and he chose the Commonwealth Bank Building here.

In addition to the fame of this building, there is another important reason for choosing this building.

The building is located at 633 West 5th Street in downtown Los Angeles, California. It is the tallest skyscraper in all of North America west of Chicago and the tallest building in California.

The top of the building is designed with large glass, called the "crown", and it can be seen glowing at night. The "Crown" will be lit up in red and blue on Independence Day on July 4, or red and green during the Christmas holidays.

When the Los Angeles Lakers play an NBA playoff game, the "crown" is lit up with purple and gold (these two colors are the representative colors of the Lakers).

It's fair to say that it's Los Angeles, one of the most famous landmarks.

Off topic, this

The tallest building in Los Angeles, it went up for sale in March.

A number of large financial groups and large commercial banks have bid for it.

The U.S. Bank and Smith Financial Group bid for the final round, and in the end, Smith Financial Group bid $367.5 million, $10 million more than USBanrp, to win the legendary building.

So it was originally called the Library Building, then the First Intercontinental World Center, and now the Commonwealth Bank Building, and it is going to be renamed again.

Smith Financial Group has sent its application for a name change to the Los Angeles City Council.

Once approved, the building will be named the Smith Los Angeles Tower. Then it would become one of the symbols of power and influence of the United Consortium on the West Coast of the United States.

And this is the reason why Abel put this regular meeting of the Federal Reserve in this building.

When the convoy arrived downstairs at the future Smith Los Angeles Tower, it was almost noon.

Two months ago, the management of the Los Angeles branch of Smith Financial Group, which had moved here, had already led a queue to wait at the door.

This is also Abel's first time here.

The convoy came to a halt, and the Cadillac monster was facing the main entrance of the building.

Abel got out of the car after a while, and instead of rushing inside, he looked up at the $367.5 million building.

Seriously, if it's in Manhattan, New York, it's definitely out of the ordinary. But it's in Los Angeles in the earthquake zone, and it's not destined to have too many high-rise buildings, so it's the most beautiful boy here and even on the entire West Coast.

The building itself has a plain appearance, which means that the exterior is relatively rounded, and the crown design on the top is more distinctive, and at the same time, it is a lot taller than the other surrounding buildings.

Otherwise, it's really not very good.

But scarcity is expensive, and the price of $367.5 million is still worth it.

"Good morning, Mr. Chairman......

When Abel smiled and walked to the door of the building.

The management of the West Coast financial team, led by Bevis Brooke, the general manager of the Los Angeles branch, was the first to greet Abel with a respectful smile.

Bevis Brooke is a senior accountant himself and used to work for Goldman Sachs.

Later, he, Alan Baker and five other people were first excavated by Abel and founded Smith Wisdom.

Bivis Brooke is one of the Big Seven when Smith Intelligence was first founded.

At the same time, he is also the highest-ranking position in Abel's think tank after leaving the Smith Intelligence Group.

He is responsible for Smith Financial Group, with operations in California and most of the West Coast coastal area.

「…… Good morning, Bivis. Ah, but it's almost noon, so you might have to work a little longer later." Abel smiled and patted Bevis Brooke on the shoulder.

To him, the important members of the Smith Intelligence Regiment are left-armed. Bevis Brooke is on the West Coast, and he has always been conscientious and never made a mistake in his work, and belongs to his cronies.

For his cronies and his own people, Abel has always had a little intimacy with his body movements.

This is a manifestation within the Smith system that distinguishes whether a member is valued by Smith, the lord of the plutocracy.

Like now, the other management of the West Coast branch are looking at Bevis Brooke with some envy.

There are not many people who can be treated like this by the boss, and everyone knows that the closer the relationship with the boss, it means that the position is more stable and has more prospects for development.

Everyone wants to climb up, and this kind of intimate action from the boss is the best ladder to climb up.

It's no wonder they don't envy.

After a little greeting at the door, under the leadership of Bevis Brook, Abel began to walk inside the tallest building in Los Angeles.

Half an hour later, in the "Crown" on the top floor of the Commonwealth Bank Building.

A straight west

With his hands in his trouser pockets, Abel stood quietly in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling windows of the entire wall, overlooking the entire downtown Los Angeles from a god's perspective.

In a cloudless sky, a deep blue. Sunlight is everywhere, and the nearby high-rise buildings are lined up one after another. The skyscrapers in the near distance, the low-rise buildings in the distance, and the bright scenery of the capital empire are all in sight.

"Capitalism of all evils......

Abel looked back at the super large office of more than 300 square meters, with paintings hanging on the wall, metal frame decoration, precious carpets, standing sculptures, etc., with soft and elegant tones, and delicate and exquisite antique European furniture as decoration, low-key white with high-key gold, elegant brown.

The effect of mixing and matching is stunning without losing the elegant temperament, so that the space condenses elegant and classical feelings, highlighting the elegance and grace of the original owner.

The reason why Abel complained was because of the two floors, the "crown" on the top of the building, they all belong to the office area, which is divided into office area, conference area, president's office, rest area, and the decoration is extremely luxurious in the details but maintains a low-key and calm atmosphere on the whole, full of classical art and humanistic accomplishment.

That's even more luxurious and bigger than his office on the top floor of the Smith Tower in New York.

But in terms of price, the Smith Building in New York is almost two and a half buildings here!

Fortunately, now it belongs to him Abel Smith.

"Bivis, come here."

After admiring it, Abel directly asked the general manager of the branch to come over.

"I'm here."

Bivis Brooke approached respectfully, bowing his head slightly in a gesture of listening.

"The Fed's regular meeting in three days will be held on these two floors. But it's going to be a little bit more arranged, because there will be a lot of people coming." Abel has already decided.

There is no need to pick other conference rooms in the building, as long as the two floors of this crown are slightly adjusted, it is the best meeting room.

Anyway, there will be more than 100 attendees, most of whom are attachés.

At that time, the owners can come up here and have real communication.

The attachés are on standby on the lower floor, providing all kinds of support to the elders upstairs.

Of course, Bevis Brooke has no objection to this, it is the Fed's regular meeting!

It will be held anywhere, and that place will be infinitely elevated in a short period of time!

Look, it won't take long. As long as Abel has made this decision, and after the affirmation of others.

By tomorrow at the latest, FBl and other people from other relevant departments will make this airtight place, making it the most tightly guarded place in the United States in a short period of time.

Even tighter than the security of the White House and Capitol Hill!

Because compared to those councillors and arch-generals, the people who come here for a meeting in a few days are the real masters of the empire.

Compared to them, George and the Capitol Hill gang can only be said to be senior managers of the empire at best.

It's like the difference between shareholders and managers in a company.

And the United States, no matter what packaging it is on the surface. To put it bluntly, it's actually just a super-large company.
