Chapter 581: Australian Specialties
「…… Why did I leave the U.S. at this critical time? Hahaha, George, I think it's good for everyone that I'm going to walk away at this point. Didn't you see that even the Fed's regular meeting was postponed for a week? It was said that it would not be officially held until the 12th. I think even if you don't know, someone will tell you!"
Melbourne.
Marubra Highway 112 at the southwest end, in a mansion on the edge of the coastline.
Abel was wearing a casual shirt, holding a satellite phone, looking at the Pacific Ocean in the distance, laughing softly and talking to the titular first power man on the planet.
"Okay, okay, I see what you mean. You mean to make me cautious. But George, actually, in the current state, it's good for everybody to be away for a while."
"They're going to calm down and they're going to communicate the greater good. At that time, whether it is those Clevelands or DuPont, they will make a more sober judgment. I believe that as long as they are not stupid, they will choose me after all."
"Uh-huh...... I know I know that safety is the top priority for me. If I'm not a Texan, if I'm not on good terms with a Californian. If you're not the owner of the White House, I'm going to be in New York or Texas!"
"That's it, I'll be back soon."
After a few moments, he hung up.
When Yin Kana started "tandem" in private, intending to be the first diplomat among Smith's women.
Abel is no longer in Los Angeles, he has come to Australia at the southern tip of the Pacific Ocean, and is now in Melbourne, Australia's second largest city.
In addition to being the second largest city in Australia, Melbourne is also the capital of Victoria, a world-famous tourist city, and has been rated as the world's most livable city and a world-famous international metropolis for many years.
Due to its location in the Southern Hemisphere, June is the winter season in Australia, and the overall temperature is low. In southern and southeastern Australia, such as Sydney and Melbourne, temperatures generally range from 10-20, with cooler temperatures in the opposite direction of June elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere.
Fortunately, it doesn't snow even if it's a little cold, and at most it's colder when it rains, which is still very good.
As for him at this time, he left Los Angeles for Australia. It was announced to the public that it was to come for tourism and some business activities.
Secretly, he told people that his child was born here.
In fact, the main purpose of his choice to leave was actually to temporarily avoid the prelude to the huge storm he set off between American conglomerates.
Don't look at the conversation between Abel and the Cleveland consortium and DuPont, and the conversation with them is very calm.
But in the eyes of others, this kind of dialogue is no less than dropping a muhai egg from abroad on the United States.
It was almost the clarion call of a big war, and several powerful consortia were active almost instantly, and all kinds of tandem and private interest reconciliation did not stop for almost a moment.
The Fed meeting, originally scheduled for Los Angeles, was postponed for a week.
It may even be cancelled and then put on a show in Washington.
Because in a sense, what Abel did this time is much more important than the last Fed voting power.
The voting power of the Federal Reserve is, to put it bluntly, a kind of embodiment of the power within the empire.
You are strong enough, even if you don't even have a little voting power in the Fed, the people inside will pull you in.
If you're not strong enough, like DuPont or the Cleveland consortium, their vote at the Fed will be challenged.
Well...... There's a little bit of a taste of the five constants.
It can be said that the Federal Reserve is the five permanent members of the United States. The Fed doesn't exist because it's the Fed. It's because of the bankers and consortia that make it up.
Compared with this time, the last Fed's decision on voting rights was slightly inferior.
This time, it was decided that there might be a convergence between the consortia. Once it happens, it changes the whole of America regardless of the outcome
The balance of power between conglomerates and chaebols.
Later, the Fed may have to reshuffle again.
Naturally, the plutocratic giants took this very seriously, and wave after wave of people came to the door of the Cleveland and DuPont.
There are also many people who come to Abel, and there are countless people on the Washington side who hope that he will be more drastic, or cancel this idea.
The former are those who are close to him, or the ones whose actions can bring them benefits.
The latter are partly people from other conglomerates, and partly neutrals who do not want the United States to make waves.
In short, there is everything. Abel accepted the advice of the thinker and Herbert and chose to leave Los Angeles temporarily.
He arrived in Australia, where he happened to visit his two illegitimate children.
Yes, two. Cate Blanchett and Nicole Kidman, they gave birth back in April this year.
At the end of last year, they didn't know what to think and chose to leave the United States and return to Australia to give birth.
Abel didn't care about it, and they went back.
Because it's too far away, plus it's not the same now as before after all. Abel now has a lot of children, and the extra two are not as important as before.
Until now, Blanchett's child is three months old, and Nicole's child is a full moon.
That's when he met them, two little boys of mixed American and Australian descent.
The villa he was in at the moment was one of the places where Nicole and Kate lived.
The luxury homes invested by the new real estate company are not limited to the United States. Europe, Asia, Australia, and the slightly larger cities are all investing in new real estate companies.
On the Australian side, key cities such as Sydney, Melbourne, Gold Coast, Perth, and Canberra all have Abel's mansions.
They are the only two Australians among Abel's women. These houses are naturally picked by them, and they can live wherever they want.
Like the current house, built on a rocky platform on the waterfront about 20 meters high, it is a super luxurious seaside house.
From the perspective of more and more Chinese people in the local area, it is a good feng shui to sit on the mountain and watch the sea.
Facing northeast, 180-degree unbounded ocean views, sparkling white sand beaches, prime locations, high above the top while enjoying enough privacy and security, while sitting and watching the bustling scenery of the crowds during the holidays.
As soon as he handed over the satellite phone to David next to him, Abel heard footsteps coming from behind him, and he turned his head to see Kate walking towards him in a beautiful bohemian dress.
The fiery red color of the long dress looks dazzling, the skirt is layered with cutout patterns, and the gorgeous and delicate tassels float around her ankles.
Even though the temperature outside the house was only about ten degrees, it was a bit cold today.
But in the warm room, her temperament is still as outstanding as ever.
"Ah~ came out? Little Amber is asleep, isn't she?" Abel waved lazily, and Kate snuggled in and sat beside him, listening to him ask.
Amber Smith, this is the name of the son born to Cate Blanchett.
The name begins with A, a tradition of the Smith family.
Nicole Kidman's younger child, named Olivier Smith. Both are two male names that are more common in Australia and are of the Anglo-Saxon line.
"Yes, he didn't go to sleep until he was full."
"Uh...... Then I don't think I'll have to drink it."
Kate patted him lightly with a slightly hot face.
I don't know what's going on, Kate's baby grain warehouse, although it's not particularly big, but no matter how you say it, there is a little more B+.
But in terms of the output of baby food, the yield is really not high. Not to mention feeding the child and his father, even the child can't eat enough.
Poor little Amber, since she was born, she still eats more female noodles, which makes Kate herself a little depressed.
Abel is now fighting again
Interesting, she was naturally a little unhappy.
And looking at her more delicate after giving birth, she has recently been tired of eating blonde hair in the United States. Wave. The abel of the wave wants to change his taste. After counting the time, Amber Smith is more than three months old, and his mother can start to have a younger brother or sister for him.
So, according to Abel's request, Nicole, who had just finished confinement, got the child and came out of the room.
I saw the two people who had been entangled in the living room.
Tuao Aries is a little hot-eyed and wants to join in.
But she knows that someone takes physical health very seriously.
It was impossible to eat her at this time, even if she wanted to, she didn't have to. Out of sight is clear, Nicole can only choose to go back to the room and sleep with the child in her arms.
Of course, Abel came to Australia this time, in addition to avoiding those old men, and he didn't just come here to play the two Tuao goddess Bao Ma.
He may have been a little loose before. But after his current identity and status, he also began to feel uncomfortable after not working for a day.
So on the Tuao side, on the third day of his arrival, he began to contribute to the growth of the Smith Agricultural Group.
He came to the border between Queensland and South Australia.
Upon arrival at your destination.
Abel got out of the car and looked into the distance, under the blue sky, there was an endless grassy slope, there were high and low light-colored fences scattered in the grass, and there were cows and sheep grazing leisurely walking among the dotted red houses, like a natural picture.
It is a ranch with the name Cadreston Ranch.
The office and living areas of the ranch are all at the foot of a hill, and they are all bungalows, which look a little new, and to put it bluntly, this ranch has not been around for a long time.
The scale is still very large, like a relatively large village.
"Boss, this is the Cadreston Ranch. The second largest ranch in Australia and the fourth largest in the world! With a total area of 20,000 square kilometers, it is mainly engaged in beef cattle production and breeding. The vast grassland land here is extremely rich in resources, so it also attracts a large number of tourists every year."
Abel's chief thinker pointed to the large town-like complex in the distance, "There are hotels, shops and even supermarkets. They are mainly designed to provide a variety of services and goods to tourists who come here. It is also one of the main sources of income for Cadreston Ranch."
Abel nodded, looking far away, only to feel that the sky was wide, the green grass was long, the wind blew the grass, and the cattle and sheep were low.
It's a little colder, after all, it's winter in Australia, but the grass is not much yellow, and Tuao is really blessed with grazing.
"Buy it, and it'll be one of the largest producers of beef cattle and wool at Smith Agriculture!"
Abel made a decision directly, and Alan next to him didn't ask, nodded yes, and wrote down this in his notebook.
In fact, if you raise cattle or sheep, you can do the same in the United States, and the land is not expensive. And there is a better agricultural and feed system to support, not much worse than Australia.
But Abel chose to buy the place and start large-scale farming, his intention was actually to see a few years later.
I have the impression that for a long time in a few years, the inflow of beef from the United States will be banned in China, because mad cow disease and breeding in the United States are very frustrating in the use of drugs and medicines.
Clenbuterol, banned in China, is legal in the United States...... There are a variety of other veterinary drugs, and the standards of the United States are far higher than those of China and Europe.
So why is beef so cheap in the United States? Because in addition to the suitable environment, the cost of breeding is indeed relatively low, and Americans can legally use all kinds of technology in breeding.
In the case of such a breeding environment in the United States, it is not impossible for you to do special words, that is, it will not be comparable to others in terms of cost, and you can only take the direction of high-end or ***.
Abel's approach to this is - what the United States raises for Americans to eat, and what is used for export must comply with other people's
Rules.
Tuao is very suitable here, the key is that the place is big and cheap. Like this Cadreston Ranch, with an area of 20,000 square kilometers, it is already the size of Belgium.
But it only takes less than 800 million Australian dollars to take it.
The exchange rate between the Australian dollar and the US dollar is about 1.5 Australian dollars to one US dollar.
Less than 800 million Australian dollars is about 520 million US dollars, but it can buy 20,000 square kilometers of land...... It can only be said that the land price in Tuao is indeed very cheap.

Ready for a surprise? What kind of gift? Australian souvenirs? It can't be a kangaroo or a koala or something, right?"
Abel hugged the Tuao Aries, walked to the gift boxes with a little curiosity, knocked lightly, and found that it was paper skin, not very strong.
Kangaroos are the first to be excluded, unless they are tied up or anesthetic. Otherwise, such a large cardboard box would not be able to hold them.
It's a bit of a chance that the lightning koalas are sluggish and seem to be able to hide in them.
"Yes~ Choose one to open, or open all of them! I'm sure you'll be satisfied! This is our Australian souvenir for you!"
Nicole said with a coquettish smile.
Abel looked at Kate, her eyes were a little strange, but she still said the same as Nicole, "Open, this is a gift for you. Like, like Nicole said, well, souvenir......"
In fact, at this time, Abel's hearing and perception were far beyond normal people, and he had already heard the subtle breathing sound in the gift box, as well as a very slight salsa rubbing sound.
It's definitely a living creature inside, and judging by the size of this box, it's likely that it's still a petite person or animal.
And if they want to get in, they must also go through the inspection of the rock security.
Being able to get in through the inspection means there is no risk.
So Abel guessed that it was either a human or a larger animal that was not harmful.
And he is not a kind little animal protector, so he thinks there must be people inside.
Tear pull –
He had already opened the box in the middle, tore open the ribbon, and opened the lid, and there was a little girl in a white Lolita dress, with a blushing face and a shy expression.
In the hand of this beautiful girl, she also holds a small sign that reads: Abi Leigh Corsa in English.
Probably her name. In addition, there are two cardboard boxes of the same size next to it.
