Abel remembers that in the parallel time and space, George's general election next year is very smooth.

Because the benefits of 911 have not yet been eaten; Because the benefits of the white house and tax cuts are at their peak; Because the last real estate boom in the United States is at its most active; Because of the army. The Composite has enjoyed a lot of benefits during his tenure and wants to continue to eat......

In short, George won without any suspense, and the Elephant Party also won the election by a slight margin, overpowering the Donkey Party.

However...... It was a parallel time and space.

In today's timeline, George's situation is not as wonderful as it used to be.

I don't mention it on the masahari side, because nothing has changed. Two wars still took place, and the army. The workforce ate very satisfied.

The major changes are mainly in the economic aspect.

Due to the existence of a certain Smith time and space butterfly, Wall Street focused its attention and energy on the subprime loan business like dove wine earlier.

The good thing is that since 2002, almost any large and medium-sized securities company and investment bank on Wall Street has made very considerable profits, and the annualized return on investment returned to investors is very wonderful.

What's down...... Ordinary people don't understand it when they see it, but people in the industry know it but don't say it.

When the ants dig holes in the embankment to open ant nests, they don't know that too many ant nests will cause the dam to collapse, and eventually all the ants will die without a place to bury.

But the ants in the anthill think that the ants in the nest and the ants in the nest are digging, they can both dig, why can't they themselves?

I will also dig vigorously because I am afraid that I will dig slowly, and the benefits of the site will be occupied by other ants.

Everyone has this kind of thinking, and the result is that everyone digs together.

The day of the dam collapse is rushing towards everyone at an unimaginable speed.

Compared to the parallel time and space, the traces only appeared at the end of 06, and the script of the outbreak of the 07 financial crisis caused a depression and financial crisis.

Under Abel's influence intentionally or unintentionally, this plane would obviously come earlier.

According to various data, Abel thinks that even early next year, there will be a storm in the early stages of the subprime mortgage crisis - a large number of subprime mortgage companies will become insolvent and even file for bankruptcy.

At that time, it will inevitably affect George's election.

These are the words, and it is not easy to say to the people in front of you. Because before the catastrophe, no one would have believed that the American Empire, which had been prosperous since the fall of the Red Bear, would encounter such a big crisis.

Besides, Abel knew that even if he said it himself, it would be useless.

A financial crisis of this scale is not something that can be withstood by the current white house alone.

Unless George is replaced by Master Luo, he must have Master Luo's iron-fisted means and the strength to be supported, so that he can rely on the guidance of the Zhengfu to survive that time.

Or maybe all the capital is united, and everyone works together to overcome the difficulties and brave the past period of disaster.

However, these two things are impossible to achieve in the United States or in other capital countries.

So even if you say it yourself, it's actually useless.

Let's put it this way, so many big capitals and white houses in the United States have raised a large number of think tanks and smart companies.

There may be a lot of spicy chickens in these think tanks, but there are definitely a lot of elites.

The Smith Intelligence could tell that the crisis was just around the corner, and there was no reason why they couldn't see it.

In fact, many people saw it, but everyone was powerless or didn't want to stop it.

They all thought that they would be able to get ashore early before the tsunami came. For this, it doesn't even matter if you push others into the sea.

In Wall Street, a place where everyone is refined and self-interested, even if there are really natural disasters and disasters, then the mentality of the most people here must be dead friends and poor people.

Even the Taoist friends are all dead, and the poor Dao eats corpses and becomes the first person in the world with a better mentality.

In view of this, in the ensuing discussion, Abel did not speak much.

He just smiled and listened to everyone's optimism about next year, and hoped that George would be re-elected smoothly.

And that's exactly what it looks like as it stands.

After chatting, at about 1 o'clock in the afternoon and almost 2 o'clock, everyone gradually dispersed.

At this point, this family banquet is over.

Then each person will go back to his own place, work that should be done, go abroad when he should go abroad, and continue to enjoy himself when he should continue to enjoy.

But Abel was left behind by George and Herbert, and this time there were only three of them in the Oval Office.

Members of the shrub family and relatives can understand this.

Herbert is the true core of the Bush family, and George is the engine of the current Bush family.

Abel is currently the most powerful external force for the shrub family.

The three of them will be able to decide the future of this righteous gang.

As for others, opinions are also important. But when it comes to going against the whole group, it's better to listen to the three of them.

Even Abel's father-in-law and father, as well as the two members of Capitol Hill.

The two of them are in this gang, and in terms of seniority, they can only be said to be newcomers.

"Dear Abel, you seem to have some disagreement."

When everyone was gone, only his son and Abel were left in the office.

The old bush walked over to the huge floor-to-ceiling window and opened the curtain that had just blocked the sunlight.

The curtain is a fabric sandwich silk craft curtain customized by Auchan Curtain Company in France, and the color is Herbert's favorite red and white stripes.

In fact, the curtains in the current oval office are the same style that Herbert changed when he was working here.

It was once replaced by his favorite style after Zipper came to power.

Later, after Herbert's son replaced the zipper, George reinstalled the curtain cloth that Daddy loved in the White House warehouse.

When the curtains are opened, the afternoon sun shines in, brightening up the entire oval office.

Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the South Garden below and the Potomac River not far away, as well as the famous tidal lake, Taidou Lake.

These are all views that Herbert loved when he was working here. In between work, he likes to stand here like this and look out at the city view of Washington.

After Herbert spoke, George also stared at Abel with some surprise, he didn't know why Abel had a different opinion.

"Well, what can I say? All I can say is you, Herbert. Abel couldn't help but laugh after being stunned.

Sure enough, he is the most important person in the shrub family to get to this point.

In the past, Abel didn't believe that people are old and mature, and only thought that humans were carbon-based creatures after all, and their bodies were made up of flesh.

As the body ages, the cells in the body continue to die, but the regenerative ability is not as sufficient as when it was young.

The older a person gets, the worse his memory, logical thinking ability, and observation ability will be, so he will only get older and more confused.

But now, his grandfather Alex, and Herbert in front of him, and the old guy Rockfeller, these old people made him realize.

To a certain extent, this kind of thing is true.

Because of memory and other abilities, they do regress as the body ages.

But the experience accumulated over the years is to some extent enough to offset this degradation.

As long as this kind of offset is still more advantageous in experience and experience, then these old people are still very good in this regard.

"Yes. I'm not so optimistic about what George will do next year. And the reason comes from the judgment of my Smith Intelligence thinkers. ”

Abel blamed the Smith Wisdom for the reason, he couldn't say that because he was a reborn, he knew that there would be a terrible financial crisis in the future, right?

"Is it a subprime mortgage problem, and a series of economic problems that may be associated with it?" Herbert asked.

Abel nodded, and before he could speak, he saw George smile and say, "Oh, that's the problem." My staff have also told me about this. But they said that while the situation would be bad, it would not happen until the year after next at the earliest. Although the future is not good, the most critical moment has already passed at that time. So even if that kind of future happens that no one wants to see, I don't think it will have a big impact on that. ”

Abel nodded, but he said, "What if it's early?" It won't happen until the year after next, but at the end of next year or even the middle of the year? ”

"As of June this year, the total amount of financial products related to subprime loans in the United States has reached $2 trillion, which is 1.1 times that of mortgages. And three years ago, this figure was more than $80 billion. ”

"The federal real estate market has been rising continuously since 1997. Since 2001, it has grown even faster, rising from 15.9% of GDP at the end of 2001 to 17.7% at the end of last year. My analysts told me it could be more than 18 percent this year, which is a very exaggerated percentage. This year, residential investment will account for no less than 22% of total investment. Since 2001, the annual growth rate of new housing starts has not been below 6%, and this year it may exceed 8%. ”

Speaking of a lot of data, looking at the father and son of the Great Commander with a serious face in front of him, Abel shrugged his shoulders and waved his hand gently:

"All of us know that disaster has come. But all of us feel that disaster is far from us. I've always liked to think about how to avoid danger when I'm still safe. George, Herbert, I think it should be the same next year. We need to take into account some of the things we need to do to prepare when things get bad. ”

To be honest, Abel's judgment and these data, Herbert and George have not seen it.

As the owner of the White House, even the more accurate data George has seen.

The predictions and judgments of the staff and think tanks are even more sensational than Abel's.

But the same words and the same content are not the same for different people to say with different weights.

If these words were said by other people, in front of the father and son, they would probably only laugh it off.

Because worse predictions they have also seen.

But these words are now spoken by Abel, a big capitalist in the kingdom and an important mainstay of the bush family, and the situation and meaning are different.

They must pay attention to, and even have to consider whether Abel has received any rumors.

Or rather...... This is the future that Abel wants to see?

Herbert, with a serious face, nodded:

Abel is right, when it is safe to think about how to avoid future crises. This seems to be a proverb from the East? We really should take that into account, George, and we have to take that out of the way. ”

George opened his mouth and obediently took back the questioning words that he wanted to say but didn't say.

Now it's not just Abel who says that, even his all-powerful dad thinks so.

George felt that maybe the situation was really not good, and maybe he really needed to make some preparations.

George S. W. Bush has many shortcomings, but the advantages are equally distinct.

For example, he is very friendly, very easy-going, and easy to be liked by the people around him.

For example, he is very self-aware, and he will never be good at asserting things that he does not understand, but is willing to listen to the opinions of those around him.

"Okay." George's face also became very serious, and his smile disappeared completely: "I will let everyone start to make plans for this and prepare for relevant aspects." After all......"

"I'd like to stay here for a few more years!"
