Chapter 248 How much money does Abel have?

".I've had breakfast here many times."

Breakfast table.

Little Laura whispered to Abel:

"When my grandparents were still homeowners, my cousins ​​and I often lived here. After my grandfather moved back to Texas, he never went back. But who would have thought that almost ten years after two years, because of my uncle, we would be able to come back here for breakfast?"

She was about five or six years old when Herbert owned here.

I have memories from when I was five or six years old. Abel told him, "Eating breakfast here wouldn't be particularly nutritious.

At that time, Abel really wanted to say to Alexandre: Dad, you must be very proud, your son and grandson really want to live here.

Of course, what I think in my heart is naturally different from what I say.

Faced with Little Laura's Versailles, he responded in a more prosaic manner.

"Right." Little Laura smiled.

She's too smart. Too good at adapting to situations and grasping the reactions of those around him.

This will make his life very tiring but will also give him a very perfect image in everyone's mind.

Including Abel.

"Right." Abel suddenly said softly to him: "When do you plan to return to New York?"

"Open?" Little Laura was surprised, her expression unnatural:

"This time, Mom and Dad will stay in Washington for a while, Dad wants to change jobs. I want to stay with my parents, and I can stay here for a while. »

"OH?"

Abel deliberately raised his eyebrows: "How long do you plan to stay?"

"Day 10, no, around day 11." Little Laura said softly: "I probably won't return to New York until the 11th."

Before Abel could open his mouth, little Lauren looked at him seductively: "Isn't it better for you that I'm not in New York? Then you can go with your Annie, or Ikana, or Hester or something like that. We'll stay here."

Many of the clues were known to Abel's wife, little Laura.

That's not what Abel told him. Abel doesn't have such a big heart yet.

Abel suspects that this may be the last time little Laura comes to Sunny Farm, Charlize tells him. Or maybe she knows it through her own channel.

Like FBL or CA or something.

"Is this the umpteenth time?" Abel didn't answer her question but instead said, "Do I still want you to do something with me next time?"

"Open?" Little Laura asked curiously: "What are you doing with me?" Do you need me ?

"Correct." Abel said gently:

"My mother's birthday is in two days. I want to take my grandparents and everyone to Smith Farm to wish my mother a happy birthday."

"Oh ~" Little Laura showed a slightly embarrassed expression, then raised her beautiful eyebrows.

"That's not right." She said, "I've read Aunt Emily's information. I remember her birthday is in September."

Abel didn't expect that she even knew this.

Fortunately, he was quick-witted, and deliberately showed a little heavy expression on his face.

"Yes." Abel said, "Mom's birthday was originally in September."

Looking at the change in Abel's expression, little Laura doubted it, and said with concern, "How did it become now?"

"My dear." Abel said in a low voice, "I don't know if you have heard of it. Actually, I originally had an elder brother, an older brother."

Little Laura nodded, she had heard from her grandfather about this. That's when Alex had his first grandchild.

During a hunting activity organized by the Rifle Association.

When the two former teammates met, Alex showed the case to Herbert.

Herbert smiled and congratulated him and told him that one day he would visit Alex's house to meet Alex's first grandson.

At this time, Herbert was deputy commander of the United States. Deputy Commander of the United States of America system.

Until the Commander-in-Chief is hanged, the Deputy Commander is a mascot, the type of person who sits idle all day.

At that time, Herbert really wanted to visit Smith's house. His comrades were all dead so there were only one or two left.

But when Herbert planned to visit Alex's house, he learned that his three-month-old nephew had sadly passed away. Herbert had to cancel the plan.

After Laura and Abel confirmed their relationship, Herbert told Laura about it while chatting with his niece.

Thinking of this, little Laura put her left hand under the table and gently patted Abel's thigh.

"It's already in the past, besides, honey, you were never born. Not your story. » Laura said softly.

Abel smiled at him, then nodded and said:

"That's right. But my unfortunate brother, he passed away in September, and the day after my mother's birthday. Since then, my mother has not celebrated her birthday in September anymore."

"Oh, then it was changed to June 9th?" » Little Laura asked.

Even though she's not yet a mother, little Laura feels she can sympathize with Emily.

Abel nodded: "Because June 9th happens to be the birthday of my brother who unfortunately passed away."

"Okay." Little Laura understood.

She had a little psychological battle, and finally felt that it was more important to spend her birthday with her boyfriend's family and her future mother-in-law.

Indiana or something.

You can go again next year.

Let Jessica go by herself. she thought.

"Alright." Little Laura said, "Then I'll go with mom and we'll celebrate Aunt Emily's birthday!"

"Alright." Abel smiled, put his right hand on the table, and placed his small hand on his knee under the table.

The two held hands and looked at each other affectionately.

"cough cough cough~"

A light cough rang out from the long table.

I saw George joking: "Ah~ Young love is wonderful. I want to be together all the time, even holding hands at breakfast. Laura."

He looked over at his wife, Laura Sr., Laura Welsh Bush.

"We were like that when we were young!"

The First Lady looked at her husband with blank eyes but smiled at Abel and little Laura.

Little Laura had time to react. She was so embarrassed that she withdrew her hand a long time ago, blushing and bowing her head to eat breakfast.

How thick is Abel?

He is not afraid, anyway, no matter which bush family looks at him, he will look back friendly.

Such a cheeky look.

It made George feel boring to tease him a few more words.

As the time spent together grew, Abel discovered that there were four bush brothers, except for the fourth who he had only met once.

None of the other three shrubs have the same character. The third son, Neil, Abel's cheap stepfather and the father of little Laura, is the most handsome of the four brothers in the bush family.

That's why baby Laura is so beautiful.

In addition, Neil is very sharp and looks very sharp, gives the impression of an excellent businessman or politician and looks very smart.

Then Jeb Bush.

The current governor of Florida gives Abel the impression that he is calm, speaks and acts very maturely. I don't know if it's intentional imitation or just like that.

Jeb Bush is very similar to his father, Herbert, in his demeanor.

Based on the assessment of his own advisory group, Abel, like Herbert, felt that the shrub was more likely to take up residence in the White House.

But the reality is that Jeb's brother, who seems quite quiet, successfully moved to the White House a little earlier.

Finally, there is George Shrub, representative of the military-industrial complex, on which the shrub family is most dependent. George had a bad reputation as a child and was promiscuous in his youth.

To avoid military service and avoid war, he also joined the Texas National Guard for several years.

But after starting his political career, his reputation suddenly changed a lot.

Those who have come into contact with him say that he is a very approachable and approachable person.

Abel also felt it during his brief contact with him. Furthermore, he was the funniest, happiest, and most spiritual of the four bush brothers, among the three whom Abel came into contact with.

Jeb didn't talk much to Abel, nor to Neil, his father-in-law.

On the contrary, George is the most talkative, and he likes to make cute jokes about him and baby Laura when he is well.

But on the contrary, if he does that, people will feel that he has no temperament and will make them more willing to get closer to him.

Abel felt that whether the little bush was pretending or not, things would always be like this. As a superior, this personality will definitely attract subordinates.

Because superiors with this personality are the friendliest and kindest to their subordinates.

While eating breakfast, Abel mentally evaluated the bush brothers.

After breakfast.

George didn't go to work right away and after breakfast it was time for the whole family to go for a walk. was a large group of Bush family members, walking on the lawn behind the White House, sunbathing and chatting.

The morning sunlight in the DC area in early June is neither hot nor cold, but it shines very comfortably on the body.

To walk on the grass.

Abel noticed that not far away there were four or five photographers taking pictures.

Little Laura noticed Abel's image. "He's the White House photographer." Little Laura whispered:

"They will take pictures of the generals. Some have day jobs and others have family activities like we do now."

"The White House also hopes that people will feel that the leader they elect is truly like them in their daily lives, always focusing on family, loving life and working hard."

Abel nodded, knowing he was the official photographer, which meant promoting the queen.

These American leaders, featured in media and Internet around the world, look very elite and have beautiful photos.

These people should get it.

"Am I not going to be in the news for this?" Abel smiled and said:

"If it was in the paper. If you see Abel Smith with a bush. What will people think? They will be very surprised, right?"

"Do you have a scar?" Little Laura smiled charmingly and said: "Are you afraid of being implicated with the bush family?"

"As long as you are willing to give me a child." Abel playfully whispered in her ear: "Then I won't be afraid!"

"Ah! Many people say so!" Little Laura slapped him shyly.

"Um~"

Just as Abel was about to retaliate, a familiar cough rang out behind the two.

Little Laura obediently stopped. Abel turned around and saw George standing behind him with Jeb and Neil.

George said softly, "Do you want to talk?"

Abel looked at the three brothers. He just turned back to the photographers and saw that they had begun to pack up their photography equipment.

Seeing these actions of Abel, George smiled and said:

"The daily life of the general's family, this daily task is completed, next is a private conversation. Even if there are pictures of this kind of thing, it's best not to let the public know.

Abel smiled and nodded: "Then I am happy to listen to the wishes of the elders."

Afterwards, the three older children and one child walked together on the White House lawn.

Other families in the bushes followed at a distance, and even farther away were Secret Service and White House employees.

Of the three brothers, George is clearly the leader.

He is the boss again and is currently in a high position.

Abel and Jeb's stepfather didn't talk much. ".I heard that your Smith Media has sent an acquisition proposal to General Electric, wanting to buy the NBC television network from GE?"

"Right." Abel nodded in confirmation.

After that unpleasant conversation with Bob Wright.

Abel's advisory group sent a letter to General Electric on behalf of Abel and Smith Media.

"Disney, News Corp., Viacom, they all have large publicly traded networks."

Facing the three bush brothers, Abel spoke eloquently:

"I think if my media company wants to stay in the dark, it's best to have its own public television channel. But if Smith Media wanted to create it from scratch, the time cost would be too high and it might not be successful. Murdoch This Australian, it took about ten years. So I think the fastest way is to go to the NBC network."

After listening to his long speech, George nodded: "Your idea is not wrong.

The White House boss, who was mocked by some people in his party as "the leader with the lowest IQ in history" right after taking office, looked out on the lawn towards the large lake in front of him and his residence. opposite. .

The Waldorf Astoria DC hotel where Abel stayed last night is located in this building complex.

"But it may not be easy. GE will not give up on NBC that easily."

"And" George added, "Now in Washington, everyone knows about your relationship with Shrub. A lot of people don't want Shrub's son-in-law to control one of the three major television networks in the country."

Abel raised his eyebrows, knowing that one of his least favorite things had happened.

It is about forming an alliance with the shrubs, and receiving the support and protection of the shrub family.

will also welcome the Bush family's enemies, eyes of hatred and surveillance.

"Work is work." Abel said gently:

"I don't believe in this resistance. They are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Unless General Electric doesn't like the dollar bill, it's likely to sell the NBC television network. »

When Abel said these words, he seemed overly confident.

Just write "I have money and I can spend it" on the side.

George couldn't help but ask: "It's true." I want to ask a personal question, but I don't know if I can.

"Because it's a confidential matter." Abe smiled and said: "Then don't ask."

George was surprised and then laughed loudly. Then this guy patted Neil's brother on the left shoulder.

laughed again and said to Abel:

"Don't worry, I know your stepfather is here. I won't ask how many girlfriends you have besides little Laura."

Abel: "."

Daniel: "."

Looking at his younger brother and Abel, both looked helpless and embarrassed.

The guy laughed again, this time at his other brother, Jeb.

"John, let me say it. This guy is very hardworking but fortunately the person accompanying him is not Ainosh. If Ainosh was with him, there would probably be arguments and fights every day. »

Jeb Bush appeared expressionless: "George, get down to business, don't talk about these kids' petty matters."

Jeb's daughter, Ainosh, is a prominent figure in the family.

She is a grumpy child with a narrow mind.

All parents know these things.

So Ainosh thought it was grandfather Herbert, and the chosen girl Laura became Abel's companion. Actually, the four bush brothers, plus old Barbara and Herbert.

The elders in the family all agreed that little Laura was more suitable as Abel Smith's companion than Ainosh.

Due to Ainosh's personality, it is clear that he is at odds with Abel Smith.

Ainosh needs a husband who can swallow his anger and follow the rules.

Abe Smith did not. The main thing is that Abel is not a mere marriage instrument, he himself is the object with which the bush clan wants to unite.

It cannot be like other marriages, regardless of the circumstances of the two marital instruments.

On the other hand, she has the most beautiful appearance, her personality resembles her father Neil in some ways, her grandmother Barbara in some ways, and Herbert's Laura Shrub Lauren in some ways. She's obviously smart and adorable. Much more suitable. Ainosh is banished and replaced by a much younger cousin.

But as Abel Smith's influence grew, so did his wealth and social status.

Jeb was somewhat concerned that Abel had become his brother's son-in-law instead of his own.

And his brother, George, noticed this problem a few months ago.

George then acts as a mediator in Jeb's moods. What George said to Jeb just now was actually implicitly saying that Abel and Ainosh were really not compatible.

"Alright." Georges looked at Abel with a happy expression:

"The question I want to ask is up to me. It is truly a private matter. You can choose not to answer."

When George said this, everyone, including the brothers Abel and George, were a little curious.

Everyone looked at George, wondering what personal question he was going to ask Abel.

"Hey ~" I saw George smiling misshapenly, softly asking Abel:

"This somewhat personal question is... Dear Abe, how many assets do you have now? 20 billion? 30 billion? 40 billion? I heard that the price you offered for NBC was 20 billion USD! »

Turns out that was the problem. After hearing this question from George, even Neil and Jeb looked at Abel curiously.

This question is really the question that many Americans want to know today.

In September last year, Abel was named in the Forbes 400 Rich List in the United States thanks to his huge wealth and he still leads.

It's been almost a year.

The rate at which Abel accumulated wealth, the whole of America knew how crazy it was. Everyone is fine now, Abel Smith, the new American rich legend, the new American dream.

How much money does he have now?
