In the autumn of Huashengdu, the yellow leaves are flying, and from a distance, it looks like butterflies dancing in the air, and the poets will probably want to write a poem if they look at it.

In the last bright sunlight of the afternoon, Huashengdun was dressed in a golden coat, which looked particularly beautiful.

Drive through the streets of the imperial capital, in the compartment of a Cadillac monster.

Abel hugged the child in his arms to the little Laura on the other side, wrinkled his nose and said with a smile: "It smells stinky, maybe it's pooping again." Honey, you deal with it first. ”

Little Laura hugged over and pulled open the child's diaper to take a look, nodded and said, "It's really stinky~"

Abel shrugged his shoulders and casually turned on the freshening system that communicates the air in the carriage with the outside world, making sure that he and little Laura would not give their son a stinking poop for a while.

Then he watched little Laura change his son's diapers, and occasionally glanced at the gorgeous scenery outside the window.

Little Laura, the new mother's movements, are obviously very unskillful. This is understandable, after all, she was born in such a family, and now she is married into such a family.

This kind of skill that an ordinary woman must know after getting married and having children, even if she doesn't do it, there will be a lot of people around her to help her.

Even so, she was able to know how to change her son's diaper, which was at least a passing grade in this circle.

Although his eyes were looking at the mother and son, Abel's thoughts were not in this carriage at this time.

He was still thinking about what he had just talked about with Herbert and his son in the White House.

As Herbert and George said, Abel is suddenly talking today about a financial crisis that could occur earlier next year.

In addition to reminding the Archon father and son, he certainly had some purpose of his own.

Herbert was right when he said it, even if the financial crisis happened.

With the status and influence of the United States on the planet today.

Even a crisis of the magnitude of the Great Depression can be a big carnival in another sense for Abel and people of his level.

As powerful as the Smith consortium today, as well as the comprehensive consortium at the level of Logon and Rockefeller, are they really afraid of the coming of the financial crisis?

Not necessarily!

It's not like the Great Depression anymore.

The U.S. government has long lost control over the big conglomerates, and has instead become a managerial organization under the control of the big conglomerates.

If there were no restrictions from the state, a financial crisis really occurred.

The big conglomerates can take advantage of the huge damage caused by the crisis and the Great Depression to take advantage of the opportunity to frantically swallow and acquire those high-quality assets that were expensive before the Great Depression!

As long as they ensure their control over the state, the big capitalists can take the opportunity to go crazy and buy the bottom.

Crises and depressions, which are characteristic of the capitalist system, will eventually pass.

When the crisis and depression are over, the big capitalists can make a better position and make a lot of money from it.

Since World War II, there have been financial crises every 10 years or so, and no major corporation has really been hurt by the crisis, except for a few conglomerates.

On the contrary, several major American conglomerates, including the Logos, Rockefeller, First Citigroup, and the California consortium, have emerged stronger in the wake of the crisis......

So in fact, the powerful big American conglomerates are not afraid of the so-called financial crisis at all.

That's more of a stake for them.

Compared with the financial crisis, the Great Depression, etc., the invisible masters who have completely controlled this country are actually more afraid of the world-class Muhai War.

Who said that there is only such a thing as the Muhai War, and in a certain sense, all beings are equal?

Except for the fact that humans have finished this level of Muhai battle together, Abel is really not afraid of it now.

Even if there was a regular world war of the level of World War II, he would not be afraid.

It doesn't matter if the United States loses the war, because no matter how defeated it is, it will only be to the extent of Germany and Neon, right?

Looking at the life of the plutocracy and big capital in Germany and Neon countries, except for occasional restrictions and exploitation by the United States, they are really happier than 99.999999% of the world's human beings.

Compared with this, in addition to the Muhai War, Abel is actually more afraid of the red ...... decades ago

No way, who said that he is now completely on the opposite side of human progress.

So he reminded Herbert and his son in advance to pay attention to the problems of economic development next year.

In addition to reminding this kind of thing itself, he also wants to take advantage of the opportunity when George adjusts the US economic national policy, and take the opportunity to do some good preparation for the next crisis that will inevitably occur.

Herbert was indeed financially mediocre, and the old man could see that Abel had other purposes, but he could not find out what that purpose was.

It can only be said that although everyone is now their own people, they are in an interest group.

But even in the gang, everyone actually has their own interests.

Shrub thinks that the shrub family will be stronger and more stable in Washington and the United States.

And he, Abel Smith, also wants to be eternal. The difference is that he is more demanding, he wants to stand on top of these families of bushes, as the real masters of the empire.

Thinking about this, when little Laura changed her son's diaper, she was a beautiful and cute baby again.

Abel's convoy has returned to the Callorama district, known as the lair of the rich and powerful in Washington.

The Carlorama District is located in the northwest of Washington, and the Northwest Street where Laura's parents live is also in this area, which is a highway and street in the Carolama District.

This place is the "Beverly Hills" of Washington, D.C., which has a large number of current and former high-ranking officials. The official resides here.

For this reason, many of America's top billionaires are happy to come here and be neighbors with these people.

What, you say that they are because of the good nature here and the many virtuous neighbors, in line with the Sage Confucius's "threesomes must have my teacher"?

Of course, that seems right.

Over time, many elites in the entertainment industry have also chosen to buy mansions here, as if they can get closer to the elites at the top of the empire.

It's the same as ordinary rich people who want to move to Beverly Hills.

It is understandable that ordinary rich people want to touch the "star energy" of celebrities, and the rich and big stars want to touch the luxury of the Karolama District.

Over time, the Callorama district became the richest district in Washington.

Before Abel's rise, the Smith family also had a residence in the Callorama district, but the area was not very large, "only" 5 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms.

It is used as a time for Alex to come to Washington to get together with old friends.

Later, after the rise of Abel, the new starting point real estate company he established successively took over the original real estate of the Smith family.

This property here in Washington is no exception.

Under the operation and operation of New Beginnings Real Estate, the Smith family acquired several other mansions in the vicinity of this historic home.

After consolidation and redesign, the new, old and extravagant Smith family Washington House is located on Belmont Street in the Carlorama district.

Coming to the gate of the manor, the convoy and the security personnel guarding the gate slowly drove directly into the manor after receiving the code and key.

The Cadillac monster stopped at the door of the main hall, and David came forward with a smile, stopped in front of the master, the hostess, and the little master, and said softly, "Boss, Mr. Dupont and Mr. Wilson are waiting for you in the drawing room of the West Hall." ”

Abel nodded and looked at little Laura. The latter smiled and said gently: "You go and do your business, I'll take Abel II to take a bath." He's sleepy and needs a good nap. ”

"Hmm."

Abel answered, kissed her, and followed David to the other side.

Mr. DuPont is Pierre Eugene Dupont, the current head of the DuPont family.

Mr. Wilson is John Wilson, Kayla's own brother and Snyder's only son.

Both of them came to Washington, apparently to attend the most recent Federal Reserve meeting, just like Abel.

Wilson is the representative of the California consortium, although DuPont is now integrated into the Texas & Smith consortium.

But because the process is not yet complete, plus the background is there. Even after the integration, DuPont has its independence within the consortium.

Naturally, unlike others, the voice is of course higher.

Soon, around 4 p.m., when the sun began to set in the west.

Abel saw the two of them chatting over coffee.

"Good afternoon, dear Pierre and John~"

Able smiled and stepped forward to shake hands and hug them.

First Pierre Eugene Dupont, then John Wilson.

When he hugged Kayla's brother, Abel suddenly whispered, "Hey, John." How is my dear godson doing? ”

John Wilson was stunned, then smiled genuinely: "Oh, Orlando is very good!" I've never seen a baby as healthy and strong as him! ”

"That's good, that's good......" Abel smiled and patted Kayla's brother on the shoulder.

The relationship between the two seems to be very friendly.

Pierre-Eugene Dupont, who was next to him, saw it, but muttered in his heart.

Old Dupont thought to himself: [It's all about Slade's son who finally succeeded in getting an heir through IVF. But in fact, this child is actually the child of Smith and Kayla Wilson. After actually passing it to John Wilson, it was claimed to be John Wilson's child...... Judging from the reactions of these two people now, it seems that this matter is true! 】

There is nothing new in the so-called circle, and the top wealthy families in the United States are also a circle.

The frail, sickly, and deformed children of the Dupont family; The Wilson family is genetically prone to problems with the reproductive system; The old man of Rockefeller liked to have illegitimate children; Mogun, that guy likes little girls; The Mellon family has been in a lot of trouble with the New York and Pittsburgh branches recently......

Similar secrets and anecdotes are really not a secret among members of the same level of circle.

Because even if you want to cover it, you can't cover it......

So Abel Smith and Kayla Wilson's illegitimate son became John Wilson's son not long after he was born at the end of August this year, and then became Abel Smith's godson.

Naturally, it's not a big secret, and capable people can get this kind of gossip with a little inquiry.

With the eldest brother who used to have a lot of dirty relationships, and now the adoptive father and uncle of the children, John Wilson, Abel's relationship with him has obviously improved greatly.

The eldest brother who raised his own child was a little inauthentic to target him again.

In Dupont's speculation, the two whispered a few more words about the child and Kayla.

Kayla hasn't returned to New York in Los Angeles yet, after all, the baby has only been a full moon for a short time.

When the children are older, they will basically be all raised by the Johns, under the nose of Slade.

Then again, let the child be John's "son". This matter wasn't even what Abel and Slade had in mind.

It was a suggestion that Kayla suddenly made to Abel and her father just before the baby was about to give birth.

Later, after communicating with John Wilson, the latter was pleased with this reality.

One was that John had just returned from Europe at that time, and he had completely lost his heart on fertility.

Europe plus the United States, and even Neon, the best doctors can't save him.

He had resigned himself to his fate.

The second is that Abel is so strong now, and he is vaguely above the California consortium.

Wilson's position in California is not particularly strong.

John, who thought clearly, knew that with this bond, he would be able to reconcile himself and his sister completely, and at the same time be able to get Abel's help.

After all, no matter how you say it, the children have half of Wilson's blood, and they are very close to his uncle.

Clearly, it is better to cultivate one than to let his wife of the Lytton family fool around from outside.

It's so perfect, so he became his nephew's father.

His sister became the child's aunt, Abel became the child's godfather, and even little Laura would later become Orlando Albert Leighton Wilson's godmother......

There was a bit of complexity and ethical issues, but John was happy with the outcome.

And the good genes of his sister and Abel, the child born together is indeed very good.

It is said that the nephew is like an uncle, and even the appearance is somewhat similar to John, so why is John dissatisfied.

This completely reversed his perception of Abel and his sister.

From the squalor and antagonism of the past, it has become intimate and friendly now.

After chatting a few words about Orlando, the two of them sat down separately and discussed with DuPont, who was starting to be a little bored next to them, about the extent to which everyone would advance and retreat together at the Fed's regular meeting tomorrow.

Mainly this time, it is estimated that the regular meeting will not discuss the issue of interest rate cuts or interest rate increases.

The benchmark interest rate in the United States has fallen from a peak of 8.5 per cent in 2000 to 1 per cent in June this year.

It's already so low and still falling, that's a few tenths of a percent.

If we don't talk about a rate cut, we need to talk about some other issues.

There is only one shift today, and my sister-in-law got married and went back to help, so I didn't need my ...... Now suddenly let me drive the wedding car.
