America’s Road To Wealth - Vol 2 Chapter 484
Chapter 484 He may bring change
In the evening, the white house holds a dinner party.
On the surface, this is very common in the White House, an ordinary one among hundreds of banquets a year.
Only those who belong to the real elite of the empire know of banquets of this level, and there are only a few times a year at most.
Not more than 10 times, but 4 times happen to be the night before the 4th annual meeting of the Federal Advisory Committee.
This is almost becoming a tradition.
This night, the bankers who will be here tomorrow, and those powerful people who want to engage with the bankers, will be involved.
Let these four originally ordinary banquets be elevated to the top level in an instant.
Besides, this year is even more special, because tomorrow’s regular meeting may bring about changes.
In this way, more people are interested in watching the excitement.
There will be even more big shots attending tomorrow’s banquet.
At this moment, there are quite a few reporters outside the White House. This is not an accident, but the norm.
And there won’t be any reporters from the entertainment page here, most of the reporters who come here are from the political page.
None of them knew the specialness of the banquet tonight, and it was useless to know.
They cannot enter inside.
They can only interview outside.
These people are all resident in DC and deal with the federal government. They usually wear very formal suits, which are very decent.
There are also many reporters around the periphery and front hall of the White House, and some of them have already started to arrest some federal officials for interviews.
Of course, there are also some foreign journalists who raise their cameras from time to time to take pictures of pairs of well-dressed American elites.
Off Pennsylvania Avenue.
Parked a black Cadillac monster.
In the carriage.
Abel and Keira sat quietly, both of them seemed very patient, waiting for the people in front to finish walking the red carpet.
Abel looked sideways at Kayla, who looked even more beautiful after dressing up. He said with a smile:
“Dear Kayla, your beauty will amaze everyone tonight.”
“You think I’m beautiful, that’s what I care most about!”
Kayla’s beautiful eyes turned into crescent moons, with a sweet smile on her face.
Yes, in the afternoon, she was forcibly pulled away by John Wilson.
But not long ago, she returned to Abel in an open and honest manner.
The reason why this is possible is because it is a requirement of Slade Wilson, and even the California consortium.
The reason is very simple, because of the regular meeting tomorrow.
That was the meeting where the California consortium and the Texas consortium wanted to get as many voting rights as possible from the veteran giants.
This kind of thing, of course, is more powerful when everyone unites.
It doesn’t matter even if the two parties are not united, at least it seems so on the surface.
Then the daughter of one of the core figures of the California consortium.
and Abel, the biggest “Lengtouqing” in tomorrow’s regular meeting, appeared in front of other chaebols together.
This is a way to declare to the outside world the common position of the California consortium and the Texas consortium at tomorrow’s regular meeting.
With this request, John Wilson couldn’t stop it even if he wanted to.
In fact, what Abel told John Wilson during the day that his sister had agreed to be Abel’s girlfriend was also false.
The two of them only dated once, and the date seemed a bit ambiguous.
There is a little meaning that a man has a love affair with a concubine, or a dog and a woman.
I haven’t really reached the final step, and I haven’t become a real boyfriend and girlfriend.
But the two of them are young after all, and they are both at the time when their body hormones are at their peak.
A handsome man and a beautiful woman, with an ambiguous foundation.
At this moment in this secret space, the atmosphere will of course look a little crimson.
The car drove forward again slowly, and Abel smiled sideways: “It’s our turn!”
“Yeah!” Keira nodded with a smile. She tidied up the white silk scarf, and gently pulled down her dress. Because the skirt was too long, it was a little troublesome.
“I’ll pull it for you after I get off the car.”
Abel said kindly.
Regardless of what kind of page the reporter likes most is watching celebrities make embarrassments.
My female partner makes a fool of myself, and it doesn’t treat me very well.
Besides, it would also affect Keira’s position in Slade Wilson’s heart.
“Thanks, then there is no problem! I’m afraid there will be wrinkles around the tun…”
Kayla is still a little worried about her image not being perfect.
As soon as she finished speaking, she found a pair of big hands placed on the place she just said.
“Is it here? It’s really a little wrinkled, let me smooth it out for you.”
Abel said, before she agreed, he acted on his own.
Feel his movements.
Kayla’s face turned red involuntarily this time.
Is that place you can touch?
We’re not there yet.
“It’s fixed, so it looks fine.”
Abel withdrew his hand calmly, and smiled with a thick skin.
It looks good in the hand, but it actually feels really good in the hand.
Consistent.
Kayla bit her white teeth slightly, and “hummed” with a chuckle.
At this time, the door was opened.
She wanted to say something, but she had no choice but to hold back, with a gentle and dignified smile on her face, facing everything outside the car door.
Abel got out of the car first, and the flashing lights outside began to light up like daytime.
Kayla gracefully supported Abel’s extended hand, lightly lifted the hem of the skirt, and slightly bowed out of the car with a confident and charming smile on her face.
Abel helped her lift the skirt behind her and put it on the red carpet, looking very gentlemanly.
“Hey, it’s Abel Smith. Hey, Abel, look here! Your female partner looks a little strange, who is she?”
“Wow! Mr. Smith, this is David from The Washington Post, may I ask you a question?”
“Look over here, Mr. Smith, and the beautiful lady. Look over here, I want to take pictures of you!”
The tall figures of the two stood on the red carpet, attracting the cameras of all reporters.
The reporters began to shout Abel’s name, hoping that the two could cooperate with the reporters to take pictures.
After all, the United States is different from Eastern countries, and also somewhat different from Europe.
In an atmosphere of entertainment to death, even political reporters and serious news are becoming more and more entertaining.
Even the commander-in-chief can participate in variety shows, participate in reality shows and become actors in the wilderness, the national conditions are like this.
With a faint smile on his face, Abel put his hands on Keira’s slender waist, and Keira also put his arms around Abel’s tiger waist, with a sweet smile on his face, changing his posture and angle from time to time, making reporters Photograph.
“Tomorrow, starting tomorrow, my reputation will be a little troublesome. From tomorrow onwards, Americans will call me “New Smith Girl”.”
During the period, Keira Wilson smiled and said softly.
“Why not? Miss Smith, what a sweet and sweet term. Look, Kayla, everyone wants to know about you now. I think they’ll be surprised to learn that you’re the director of retail at Wells Fargo. .Because you look more like a Hollywood star.”
This is complimenting her beauty, and Kayla smiled even more happily.
The development of the situation gradually became a little crooked.
It was supposed to be a serious interview, at least in the United States where all people are entertained, it should be a slightly more serious interview.
Because of the handsomeness of Abel and Kayla, now they are starting to go in the direction of interviews in Hollywood or the entertainment industry.
“Can you be a little more intimate? This way the photo will look particularly good.”
A reporter shouted boldly.
After handling the red flag at home, Abel, who is also very well-behaved, is not timid at all.
He simply stretched out his hand, clasped fingers directly with Kaila, walked forward slowly, stopped from time to time, and took pictures with his arms around Kaila’s slender waist.
The more this is the case, the happier and more daring the reporters are.
“Can you be more intimate?”
Someone shouted again.
Emotions were heightened to this point, Kaila’s heartbeat accelerated slightly, she simply leaned sideways and snuggled into Abel’s arms, raised her head slightly, her beautiful eyes were full of water, and stared at Abel’s side face.
She felt that looking at Abel from this angle, he seemed to be a marble statue of Apollo.
In the girl’s heart lake, waves could not help but wave after wave.
Abel put his hand on Keira’s naturally, and some reporters excitedly started to press the shutter to shoot wildly.
Abel can already imagine that the photo of the two of them in this pose tomorrow will become the cover of many media choices.
American media reporters like this kind of realistic photos the most. They will not give you retouching or anything. What they want is the real effect.
Abel and Kayla, the combination of a handsome guy and a beautiful woman, without retouching, is also picturesque, not to mention this intimate pose.
And tonight, those who are mostly old, or middle-aged men and women attending the meeting.
These two people can obviously increase the sales of their newspapers even more.
These journalists on the Zhengzhi page, at the moment, are like a collective bloodbath, and they are simply in high spirits.
They didn’t expect that it was very ordinary, a white house banquet with at least 200 events a year.
Can catch such a big fish tonight!
It can be said that since the two came to the red carpet, they have attracted almost everyone’s attention.
Even some of the people who were being interviewed in front looked sideways at the two of them, which made the two of them stand out for a while.
Abel is fine.
Since he became famous, as long as he appears in interviews, or red carpets and other places.
He is the star that shines the most in the audience and attracts flashlights and reporters the most.
He is used to this kind of scene.
Kayla Wilson can’t.
She feels like she is almost drunk now.
She seldom experienced the feeling of being surrounded by thousands of people, admired by stars, and regarded as the focus of focus.
This is because of Slade Wilson’s tutor.
The old chaebol is a bit of a slave to daughters, he is more pampered, but also very strict.
Kayla had a smooth life at the age of 25, but she was also very low-key.
What’s more, above her, there is an older brother who has always disliked her since she was an adult and oppressed her.
It can be said that she has actually been a little depressed.
Now this kind of treatment like a Hollywood star is a very novel experience for her.
played a great role in satisfying her vanity.
So…that’s what it feels like to be surrounded by reporters!
At this moment, she felt like the most dazzling star beside the moon.
Honestly, Kayla feels a little bit in love with this feeling.
As for the dignitaries and plutocrats who participated in the dinner at the front and rear.
They were not much surprised by the degree of welcome Abel received.
That’s Abe Smith, the new age J. P. Morgan or John D. Rockefeller.
Compared with those two old seniors in the golden age, he played more colorfully and was more topical.
Then he is naturally more sought after by the media.
Kayla appeared next to Abel. Some people didn’t know her, but there were also many people who knew her.
People who don’t know her heard that Abel’s female companion is actually the daughter of Slade Wilson.
generally appear very surprised, even shocked.
Some people think it’s shrubs and Smith falling out. Then Smith quickly hooked up with Wilson.
Those who are more rational and smarter think of a further place from the level that Slade Wilson and Abel are said to have a good relationship.
For example…the Texas consortium and the California consortium, there is a possibility of joint!
And that’s what Abe and Slade Wilson want the American people to know.
Finally finished the red carpet.
Walking down, Keira still had a charming smile on her face. Her cherry lips had never been closed, her white teeth were exposed, and her smile was bright.
She is really happy tonight.
Entering the banquet hall of the White House, a waiter greeted him immediately, bowed slightly and stretched out his hand and said, “Mr. Smith, Miss Wilson, this way please.”
Under the leadership of the waiter, it was easy to find the place. But before he sat down, he heard someone calling Keira behind him. Looking back, Abel saw that it was John Wilson.
Kayla’s older brother was smiling, with his girlfriend standing beside him.
Abel knew that it was John Wilson’s wife, a woman from the Litton family in California.
The Litton family is the controller of Litton Industries in the United States.
This company is the fourth largest fire dealer in the United States, mainly producing fighter jets, destroyers, and cruise missiles.
“Uncle Gross and they let you go, dear Kayla. They have something to say to you.”
Abel heard John say this to his sister.
Abel felt some resistance from Keira.
But John’s wife, Litton, had already walked over with a smile, took Keira’s hand lightly, and said affectionately:
“Kayla, look over there. Miss Laura Bush’s father is looking over here, we don’t want Mr. Smith to be bothered.”
In the direction she was pointing, little Laura’s father, one of Abel’s cheap father-in-laws, Neil Bush was really looking this way.
Keira Wilson was unwilling at this time.
In this case, I had no choice but to let go with a smile, said a few words to Abel, and then left with my brother and sister-in-law in the direction of the California consortium.
Not long after she left, Abel saw Neil walking towards him with Alexander, who appeared out of nowhere, and his father.
“Neil, Alexander, when did you arrive?”
Abel said in a little surprise.
When he arrived during the day, neither his father-in-law nor his father had arrived yet.
“It’s not long since I arrived, less than half an hour.”
Alexander, who has successfully become a member of the Texas House of Representatives.
Looking at his outstanding son, he said with a chuckle.
It is different from the high-end Texas redneck image with thicker face and thicker neck two years ago.
Now Alexander, with a tall figure of about two meters, wears a custom-fit suit, and even wears a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on the bridge of his nose.
After not seeing him for several months, Abel actually felt like an elite and honest guest.
“When Neil and I arrived, you were just out to pick up the Californian.”
After finishing speaking, Alexander paused, seeing that his son had been looking at his clothes.
Wearing a suit, he shrugged like a brown bear wearing a suit, and continued:
“I know, I don’t really like wearing it like this, it’s a little uncomfortable. But your people think that I can get more votes if I wear it like this on a formal occasion. So…you get the idea.”
After listening to his father’s explanation, Abel laughed.
The “your people” in Alexander’s mouth was arranged by Abel for his father, some non-staff members of the Smith Thinking Group.
These people are working for Abel’s father as the staff and assistants of Congressman Alexander.
They were recruited by Abel, and they are elites who are good at this area of work. They are mainly used by Alexander to provide staff, advice, and all-round assistance when he is working in Austin.
Since the group of people feel this image, they are more likely to work with Alexander.
Then Abel certainly wouldn’t say anything.
On the contrary, he felt that Dad dressed like this, a bit like a thug in a suit.
It’s a bit like Hong Jing Bao, who is two meters tall and stronger, wearing a suit with gold-rimmed glasses and a tie.
At this time, Neil spoke.
He didn’t seem to see Keira Wilson at all, the way she was intimate with Abel when she came in just now.
“It seems that the California consortium’s position tomorrow is the same as ours?”
Abel nodded and looked at little Laura’s father, one of his father-in-laws.
Neil Shrub resigned from Pacific Energy a month ago.
Neil formed his own campaign office and announced his participation in the California Congressional Election at the end of this year.
The steps are very similar to those of Alexander, but because Alexander was in Texas, with the joint efforts of Smith and Bush, he avoided the election and became a representative directly.
Currently, I am a representative, and I will also be elected this year.
Not enough, since it is in Texas. Now Abel is the core figure of the Texas consortium and the son-in-law of the shrub…
Seriously, if it weren’t for the fear of wasting resources.
Now it is really necessary to be tough. It is not impossible to give Alexander a governor of Texas.
The worst is also the Lieutenant Governor of Texas.
But that would be a bit of a waste of resources, and the phases overlap.
The current acting governor of Texas is the number one boy under the shrubs, and he is really his own.
He also did a good job. The call for victory this year is very high, so there is really no need to engage him.
But anyway, Alexander will be fine. So Neil is a little anxious, and wants to take his real first step this year.
So why would Neil care about Keira Wilson, making out with his son-in-law?
Neil even wished that Abel and Keira Wilson would have a closer relationship.
Because that way, if Abel had Wilson’s help in California.
In this year’s mid-term elections, Nanier can get more support and is more likely to win.
Anyway, the daughter doesn’t mind, so he, the father, doesn’t care.
“At least they are consistent in the general direction. But in terms of details, of course they can’t be the same as us.”
Abel answered Neil with a smile.
The three of them were talking, and more and more Texans began to gather around Abel.
The first person to come over was Davis Brown, the core figure of the Brown family of the Texas consortium.
When the old guy came over, he heard Abel say to his father-in-law and father:
“Compared to us, compared to East Coasters, Californians are too divided. They are actually stronger than us now, but their power is scattered.”
In this regard, Davis very much agrees.
Others say that Texans are a group of war.war.mongers.
In fact, from the perspective of industry groups, the California consortium is more similar.
In addition to the banking industry, the core industries of the California consortium are not manufacturing aircraft, carrier, ship missiles, or manufacturing aircraft, artillery, tanks, and tanks.
Its subsidiaries are all arms companies such as Lockheed Martin, Rossrop Grumman, Litton Industries, and Sikorsky Helicopters.
In the first two years, after marrying First Citigroup, even Boeing and the others could influence it.
In this regard, they are even better than the Texans.
Not to mention their financial industry, it is even a Texan without Abel.
Logically speaking, the California consortium should have a loud voice in the United States.
However, the reality is that the California consortium is one of the top ten consortiums in the United States, but their voice is almost the smallest.
In comparison, the Texas consortium, which is similar to them but not as powerful, ranks among the top three in the American consortium.
The reason for this is that the California consortium lost in two places.
One is that they are divided internally, and no one has a voice to keep their word.
Even Slade Wilson is only a leader on the surface.
Another reason is that the California consortium is not in touch with the local atmosphere.
What kind of atmosphere? The atmosphere of locking up the word-of-mouth and votes of the local grassroots!
It means that the California consortium is the local tycoon in California, but they can’t say what the Texas consortium does locally.
The reason is that they are not like the Texas consortium, which can completely control local elections.
Thinking about the mess in California, Davis, who was holding a red wine glass, heard Neil and Alexander greet him, and the old man responded quickly.
“Hey, good evening. Alexander, and Neil. And of course, dear Abel…”
Davis smiles brightly.
The old man knew Neil very well before, because of Herbert’s relationship.
Now because of Abel’s relationship, and Alexander has already gone to work in Austin, the two also communicate frequently.
So in fact, I am very familiar with Abel’s father and father-in-law, Davis.
At this time, Rodriguez McKison also came over.
Within a few seconds, there was a little trouble a while ago. But Martin Elkins and Derlin Richardson, who soon fell out, also arrived.
Finally Liam H.L. Hunter also appeared.
The original five giants of the Texas consortium, and Smith, the loudest speaker at present, are all present.
It can be seen from this that the Texans attach great importance to tomorrow’s meeting.
And in every corner of the banquet hall.
Looking at the young, strong and handsome Abel surrounded by a group of old men.
Many elites at the top of the empire felt a little bit emotional in their hearts.
“I always feel that he will change something…”
In the corner, secretly looking at the Texan John Chris Morgan.
couldn’t help but whispered to David Rockefeller next to him.
