Of course, Abel can't spend most of his time tonight on Elon Musk and Michael Griffin.

Although he does attach great importance to space exploration technology, he is also willing to spend some money and energy to help mankind explore the space universe and contribute to this aspect.

But Abel is also very clear that under the premise that mankind has not opened and sent a large number of relevant scientists of the level of Einstein, Stephen Hawking, and Werner von Braun.

Exploring space-related technologies will only be a great mission that is important but has a long way to go, and will take time and slow investment to achieve.

Abel felt that it would be difficult to see humans officially settle on the moon even in his lifetime.

And he felt that his life, under normal circumstances, would be more than a century.

Abel doesn't have the super dedication to the big picture.

It's okay to invest some money and energy to support, let him devote himself wholeheartedly, then he really can't do it.

But seriously, if you say that a super gold mine has been discovered on the moon now, the difficulty of mining is very low.

The amount of gold in this gold mine is not too much, only 200,000 tons, and the global capitalists will frantically invest in space exploration and space mining technology.

Because, according to the relevant technical calculations, the entire earth has about 400 million tons of gold. However, the real effective reserves are only about 100,000 tons.

With the number of thousands of tons excavated per year, it can only be dug for decades.

Today, the price of gold in 2003 was about $350 an ounce, or $12.34 million a ton.

At this price, the Earth's current effective gold reserves are about $1.234 trillion.

If the moon were twice as large, the wealth of $2.4 trillion would definitely drive the global capitalists crazy.

In addition, gold is very protective and will appreciate in value, it is worth $2.4 trillion now, and it will only become more and more valuable in the future.

Unfortunately, this hypothesis does not exist, and this kind of gold has not been found on the moon with current technology.

Of course, this premise does not exist.

"Honey, it seems that you have a deep interest in space technology?"

After separating from Elon Musk, little Laura, who was holding his hand, asked in a curious whisper.

"Of course, who wouldn't be interested in the sea of stars? Moreover, as a human being, I am willing to contribute to human society in my lifetime. ”

Abel nodded and smiled, his wandering eyes saw a pair of familiar faces walking around, reached out to help little Laura's arm, and said with a smile: "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are here." ”

As he spoke, Abel took the initiative to take two steps forward, holding the little Laura with a happy and sweet smile on her face, facing Neil and her mother-in-law in a white evening dress.

Before going to California, Neil was very personal and important. The shrub family has always been very careful in this regard.

After embarking on a political arena that needs to eat people very much, and at the same time, it also needs a good image very much.

In this regard, both Neil and Alexander are paying more attention.

However, due to the different voters faced, the party. The personality of the pie and the outside are different, and the family background is also different.

The personal images and personalities of the two are also different.

Alexander is a freestyle hairstyle that prefers air perms, similar to the hairstyles of old white men in the central, southern, and eastern parts of the United States.

Neil Bush has short hair, which looks closer to the type of newcomers preferred.

This aspect is very particular.

Abel smiled as little Laura and the smiling Neils hugged the veneer greeting before himself.

"Good evening, uncle and aunt."

"Good evening, kids."

With a satisfied smile on his face, Neil hugged Abel and patted Abel on the back a few times to show intimacy.

I have to say that Neil is really very satisfied with his son-in-law, and he is very proud of his father's vision and methods, and he can submit this super golden beetle son-in-law.

Without Herbert's good vision and means, without the tolerance and big heart of his own daughter.

Then he felt that he was definitely just that poor little oil company manager.

Although he is burdened with the son of the Great Commander and the younger brother of the Great Commander, he is not as noble as he is now.

Although now these identities also need to rely on their father, brother and son-in-law, more son-in-law.

But the managers of small oil companies and congressmen, these are two different things, and fools know which one to pick!

Neil and Alexander and the others were together just now, but this moment has dispersed.

Tonight is a good social platform, everyone has their own social needs. Old relationships and connections need to be maintained, and new friends and relationships need to be expanded.

Aberna was Alexander's son, and the relationship between father and son naturally did not need to be maintained.

Neal was not, and Abel was his son-in-law.

But his son-in-law is not a good man......

Even his father-in-law needs to maintain a good relationship with his son-in-law, so naturally when he saw that Abel and Elon Musk were separated, he took the initiative to get together.

"What did you talk to the South African, and Michael Griffin?"

Neil watched as his wife and daughter exchanged views while he began to talk to Abel.

"South Africans took one of my investments and started their own businesses in space exploration technology. Michael Griffin is a NASA bigwig, and I felt like my startup needed NASA, so I talked a little more. ”

Neil nodded, in the eyes of a traditional politician like him, it didn't matter what space was or not.

The most important thing is the vote, and the second is the political idea and the party. Send.

However, this is the most important thing that his son-in-law is concerned about, and he still gave some advice.

"The current director of NASA is the Zipper couple. If you're looking to work at NASA, Michael Griffin is a good candidate. His wife and Laura used to be classmates before. ”

Abel was stunned, and quickly realized that this Laura should not be his little Laura, but should be George's wife, Laura, the current first lady.

He thought to himself that it was no wonder that Michael Griffin was able to become NASA's director two years later, and he was able to take the oath of office in front of George, which was more important than other NASA directors.

It turns out that there is still this relationship, and it really deserves to be the United States. A country that is more humane and relational than anywhere else in the world.

"Thanks, uncle, remind. I'll talk to George about that later. Able smiled.

"That's good." Neil nodded, and turned his head to look at little Laura's lower abdomen, which had completely flattened after giving birth, and he felt that he should let his wife persuade his daughter.

It's time to get pregnant again and conceive a second Orthodox Smith.

As far as he knew, among the women of his son-in-law, there were already a lot of women who gave birth to Smith with a second child.

But of course he will not bring this up now, but continues: "Tomorrow bring Abel II to 45th Street NW." He and his grandmother missed him very much. ”

"Okay." Abel directly agreed, anyway, he would stay in Washington for a few days this time.

And little Laura did bring their son Abel II with her.

The four-month-old child has excellent growth and development. There are reasons for adequate nutrition, and there are also reasons for Abel's excellent genes.

Conducting a not very long air voyage, plus there are various high-tech maintenance, unless the plane crashes, it is not a problem at all.

After chatting with his son-in-law and daughter for a while, Neil felt that it was almost time to say goodbye and go to maintain his own private social network.

Elon Musk, Michael Griffin, Neil Bush and his wife, two groups in a row to cope with it.

At this time, there were other dinner guests one after another, using various excuses and means to try to get close to this unusually young and distinguished couple.

What Abel and Little Laura have to do is to screen them according to their identities, intentions, and relationship with their own side.

Then take a few minutes, or a dozen minutes, to talk and communicate with them appropriately.

Basically, it excludes another deep conversation with George later.

This is the general itinerary of Abel tonight in this White House Journalists' Association dinner.

The lights of Huashengton in the night are brilliant, continuing the bustle and hustle and bustle of the day. The lights from far and near, accompanied by the sound of cars speeding by, turned into boundless stars again, countless rays connected into a shining flowing light band, and the long road was like a bright Milky Way in the sky.

"Honey, I think tonight's couple Smith and that California real estate tycoon feel like they're going to fight."

Among the smooth and slow Cadillac monsters, little Laura snuggled in Abel's arms with a hint of tiredness, squinting her beautiful eyes slightly, as if she had thought of something, raised her pretty face with a slight frown, and looked at the side face of Abel, who was also closing her eyes and recuperating, and asked.

She met a lot of people tonight, talked a lot, and made a lot of appropriate social expressions.

These are actually very tiring, but now I can rest.

But she was still very eager to fit into Abel's social circle, so she tried to pick a question that Abel should be happy to talk about.

"Ha, that couple and TND Bren. It's normal to be tense, after all, they're fighting for land in a wealthy city in California. With tens of billions of dollars involved, no one would fail to pay attention to it. ”

TND Buren, the richest man in Southern California, and Qiongwan & Smith, who have approached Abel many times, also attended the banquet tonight.

Later, both parties found Abel at the same time and wanted to continue to talk to Abel about Qiongwan City.

But for this matter, after his status became higher and higher, Abel's mind became weaker and weaker.

Rather than arguing in this matter, just to make billions of dollars in possible profits.

Abel felt that it was better to focus his time and energy on the capital market.

So he didn't talk to the other party for long at all, and left with an excuse.

It's that both of them themselves almost look like they're fighting.

Little Laura didn't know about it, and it was normal to see curiosity and concern.

Abel explained to her a little about the grievances between Lower Brun, the white glove and backer of the California Donkey Party, and the Smith family in Qiongwan and Northern California.

"They all want me to support one of them, and the payment they are willing to offer seems to be very good. But I'm tired of the infinite tugging between them, so I don't want to get involved anymore. ”

"I remember, my father seems to have mentioned it to me." Little Laura suddenly said: "These two families seem to have helped him when he was running?" ”

"Yes, that's barely what they're paying for. But just like that, it's the donkey party and me who really help. ”

"Honey."

In the carriage, little Laura was silent for a few seconds, and suddenly said, "How about leaving this matter to me to deal with?" ”

"Oh?"

Her words diverted Abel's attention from the vagabonds, who were everywhere in the capital of the empire outside the window, but also everywhere.

The economy is really bad, otherwise there wouldn't be so many homeless people even in the District of Columbia.

After all, the weather here is really not as good for the homeless as California.

In winter, Washington sometimes freezes to death.

"You're interested in doing this kind of thing?"

"There's always something to do."

Little Laura said: "Abel II is all right, more well-behaved, smarter and better developed than a normal child. I feel like I can do something for you while taking care of him. At the same time, I am also making my own life a little more fulfilling. ”

This time it was Abel's turn to be silent.

First of all, Abel doesn't really believe that this is the real reason why little Laura wants to do things.

Abel prefers that she is no longer willing to be obscure, and also wants to play her identity as her own legitimate wife, intervene and improve her influence on her side except for private matters.

It's better to do something than nothing.

This notion has always been there, and he is happy to do things for his women. And as long as they make sure they don't fall, it doesn't matter what they do.

Thinking of this, Abel nodded and said, "Yes, yes, but what do you want to do?" ”

"I didn't think about it." She suddenly smiled and said, "Anyway, my dear, you don't want to work hard, so leave it to me." I'll do it, but if not, I'll bother with them! ”

"Hmm." Abel thought for a moment, "Later, I'll have someone give you the relevant information." Do it yourself as you see fit, and I'll provide you with all the help you need. ”

"Thank you, dear, I love you ~wuma~"

The young housewife of the Smith family took the initiative to send a fragrant kiss.
