Chapter 605

in the restaurant,

After the joke, Abel straightened his face and looked at Warren Buffett seriously.

"Warren, have you ever thought that this idea of ​​yours will cause a war? A stock market war involving hundreds of billions of dollars, or even trillions of dollars."

Abel swallowed the delicious mutton skewers mixed with hummus in his mouth, and drank the ice water on the side before continuing to look at Buffett and said: "A Kansas City Southern Railroad or a Burlington Northern-St. Taffy NS is enough to arouse anyone's alertness. If you want to swallow up two huge railway companies at once, anyone who is not a fool knows what to do!"

"You know what? If we really did this, we wouldn't be as peaceful as we are now."

Looking at Abel's serious look.

Buffett twitched the corner of his mouth. The stock god didn't understand the consequences of this, which was very troublesome.

But after all, the benefits here are too great.

The increase in influence after success is also too great.

So big that even if you know it will be very troublesome later, if you fail, the ending will be very bad.

The old man still couldn't bear this fantasy and ran to Abel personally to tell him about it.

Even on the way, while he was still on the plane, he had already contacted the people behind him.

Those people have support and opposition, but as their representative, Buffett himself is very moved.

In the end, Warren Sr. and his supporters reached a compromise, which was to come to Washington to test what Abel meant, and then make a decision in this regard.

Now it seems that Abel does not support taking action against Kansas City Southern and Burlington Northern-Santa Fe NS at the same time.

Warren Buffett's originally agitated heart had to calm down.

Because the stock god knows that even if he and the people behind him can get the money, they can't cope with the endless troubles that will follow.

If he is not qualified enough to cause trouble, it would be like Yuan Gongli proclaiming himself emperor immediately after getting the imperial seal.

You can really feel good about yourself at first, but what follows is endless trouble and destruction that follows.

"Then what do you mean..."

Somewhat unwillingly, Buffett still said softly: "Only take action on one of the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe NS or the Kansas City Southern Railway Company?"

"I recommend you buy the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe NS because its rail network coverage has better future prospects."

Abel shrugged and said, "But if it were me, I would choose to buy the Kansas City Southern Railroad Company because its routes cover areas that are just in line with my base."

Buffett's pale eyebrows couldn't help but frown, somewhat disapproving of Abel's statement.

Why did he want to buy the Kansas City Southern Railroad? Don't the stock gods know that the places covered by the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe NS rail network have better future prospects?

How is that possible? In this area of ​​intelligence collection and work, the Smith Intelligence Group is not necessarily better than the elites of Berkshire Hathaway.

The reason why Buffett chose the Kansas City Southern Railway Company was not to choose the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe NS in the future as he would have done in a parallel time and space.

It was because the area covered by the Kansas City Southern Railroad happened to overlap greatly with Abel's base.

This meant that the acquisition of the Kansas City Southern Railroad would have a higher chance of success.

The former giants and overlords of the railway system will not be able to go all out because of this concern.

Because that is Abel's territory, and he, Buffett, is Abel's "person."

"What do you mean..." Buffett really didn't know what he was selling, so he simply asked: "Let's be honest, what do you want?"

Abel smiled, looked up at the clock hanging on the wall of the dining room, and found that it was already time for the banquet to start in the white house.

"I still have something to do, so let's put it this way. Warren, first of all, I agree with your idea, but I can't act recklessly. I think it's better to separate. I will come forward to acquire the Kansas City Southern Railway Company. And what you have to do is after I announce Not long after that, it was announced that it was targeting Burlington Northern-Santa Fe NS. Do you know what I mean?"

Warren, who was originally a little depressed, suddenly became energetic after hearing what Abel said.

"Ah, didn't you just say..." Buffett wanted to say, didn't Abel just say that he couldn't acquire two railway companies at the same time?

Why do you say it's okay now? Despite the fact that they were acquired separately, it doesn't seem to have much to do with each other.

But others are not fools, so they don't know what this means.

What's more, they all know their relationship with Abel, so Buffett feels that this kind of separate acquisition is simply taking off his pants and farting.

It's super unnecessary.

"Do as I say, Warren. I will have someone bring you the first half of the plan later, and you will roughly understand what I mean. I will leave first if I have something to do. Here are the mutton skewers and the eagle The bean paste is really good, with a very Central Asian flavor! It is indeed your favorite restaurant."

The key is that it's cheap and you can use coupons. This Warren Buffett is really tricky!

Buffett was somewhat dissatisfied with Abel's attitude and tone. Because he felt that he and Abel were only allies at best, but never a superior-subordinate relationship.

However, he was used to Abel's character and nodded silently.

Then Abel left, leaving some documents with Buffett before leaving.

After reading it, Buffett handed the thing to Charlie Munger.

Charlie Munger read it quickly, then raised his head in surprise, "This...doing this, this is taking food from the mouth of a hungry wolf! Is it worse than acquiring the railway itself?"

Buffett sneered, "Where is this from robbing the hungry wolf of food? This time he wants to kill the hungry wolf and eat the meat! But his real idea may not be here. Charlie, we need to plan carefully and plan what to do next. How to do it."

Charlie Munger nodded silently, thinking that he was indeed Abe Smith. But if done well, there is no guarantee that Berkshire Hathaway will be able to achieve its goals.

No one in this world is a fool. Business wars can be deceitful or physically eliminated.

Any situation can happen, it just depends on how to do it to make it easier to succeed and gain greater benefits.

At 7:30 in the evening, after a routine inspection and bidding farewell to Buffett, Abel's motorcade drove into the White House Square.

Wearing a tailored suit, he exuded a gentle and elegant temperament like a noble prince. Abel, who had a charming and bright smile on his handsome face, was greeted by the smiling staff of the White House and walked inside.

When Abel first came to this place, he was as full of curiosity as those who come here for the first time.

And I am somewhat excited, after all, this is a white house.

Now, he has come more often and his status has been increasing.

Even though he was in the nominal first power center on this planet, he no longer felt any excitement.

To put it bluntly, this is just the place where the first manager of the boss empire works and lives.

It is not the real Forbidden City in ancient China.

The white house that ordinary people see in the news every day is actually not the entire white house, but only the main building.

In addition to the main building, the white house also has two parts, the east and west wings, which are connected to the main building through corridors.

The main building has two floors underground and four floors above ground; the east wing has two floors above ground; the west wing has two floors above ground and one underground floor.

If the five major functions of the house are reclassified, it can be found that the private life of the general and the government office area are actually not public and can be classified as the "inner area".

Diplomatic reception, high-level reception and public visits are essentially external reception functions and can be classified as "outer areas".

Therefore, in the overall layout of the "White House", the outer area is mainly arranged on the GF floor and 1F floor of the main building and the first floor of the east wing, while the remaining area is the "inner area".

As for the second underground floor of the main building, although it is said that it was the commander's emergency shelter in case of the Muhai War, this basement is mainly where various equipment spaces and storage rooms such as air conditioning, heating and ventilation, strong and weak electricity, etc. are located.

Of course, the real Grand Commander's refuge cannot be made public so directly.

Generally speaking, white houses are large and functional.

The private living area of ​​the Grand Commander and the First Family is actually not that big, and is mainly on the 2F floor of the main building of the White House.

The room on the left side of the south side of this floor is the commander's bedroom, which is designed as a suite. The suite has a separate living room, bedroom, and a large cloakroom. There are also bathrooms in the cloakroom and living room.

The two bedroom suites on the east side are the rooms where important guests of the White House stay. Heads of powerful countries who have strong national power usually stay here when they visit, and those who have close relations with the United States usually stay here.

For example, the heads of state of France, Germany or the countries next door.

The Queen's Suite on the north side is the exclusive room used by the Queen of England every time she visits the White House.

There are two secondary bedrooms on the north side of this floor, which are the bedrooms of other members of the first family. George's twin daughters live in these two rooms respectively.

To the north of the Grand Commander's suite is the west lounge, to the north is the family dining room, and in the center of the south is the first family's reception room, which is connected to the treaty room on the right.

However, under the guidance of the staff, Abel went not to the 2F floor of the main building, but to the 3F floor of the main building.

Normally, the 3F floor of the main building is basically the working, storage and rest area for the White House service staff. Of course, there are also some areas for the first family to entertain, such as music rooms and game rooms.

Abel's goal was the sun room on the south side of the 3F building.

This has the best view of the entire white house, and tonight's private banquet of the Bush family will be held here.

Along the way, people smiled and greeted Abel from time to time. There was no surprise at all for Abel's appearance here.

Although it has not been made public, who doesn't know that Abel Smith is Shrub's son-in-law?

In this regard, Edward, who followed Abel step by step, felt extremely emotional - when he was rolling around in the desert to serve the empire, his biggest dream was to come to the White House to receive the award.

Nowadays, there are no medals, but there are many in the White House, and they are many times more powerful than those who are still in the army or have served in the army before!

At least now, even if the commander sees him, he will greet him with a smile and call him "Edward" intimately.

Other SEALs, even if they become captain, they probably won't get this kind of treatment.

"Dongdong——"

"Mr. T&T, Mr. Abel Smith has arrived -"

"Invite him in."

George's cheerful voice came from the sun room. It was a bit noisy inside, and you could hear laughter and laughter.

The door was quickly opened from the inside, and the person who opened the door was Jenna Bush, one of George's twin daughters.

"Good evening, Abel." She said hello to Abel with a smile.

Although she is a sister-in-law, she has had the experience of having sex with C. Although everyone turned a blind eye and pretended not to know, Abel still couldn't help but observe her expression.

Nothing was observed, as if the two of them had never had that kind of experience before.

What a great concentration, he thought.

So Abel did everything as usual, greeted her with a smile, and then walked inside.

As for the scene in the room, it looks like a warm place where everything is at home and everything is going well.

If it weren't for the people here, there are the White House Commander, former Commander-in-Chief, Florida Governor, Congressman, White House Chief of Staff, Elephant Party Whip, First Lady, and other important figures.

In fact, it is no different from the gathering of wealthy middle-class families in the southern United States.

It was all the same laughter, the same little kids running around.

It was noisy, but very hilarious.

To put it bluntly, even the commander-in-chief is still mortal.

In essence, their needs in all aspects are the same as those of ordinary people. They also need food, clothing, and warmth, and they also like to be accompanied by family members.

Of course, the family banquet in the white house is just like the family banquet of an ordinary big family with better conditions.
