Chapter 640

In many countries, real estate is a dream-making machine on which countless people's dreams of wealth rest. As everyone knows, when financial disorder occurs, there will eventually be a backlash.

The story begins in 1938, when the Great Depression was still lingering, and then-U.S. President Master Luo took the lead in establishing the Federal National Mortgage Association, which later became the famous Fannie Mae. Since then, Americans have begun to enjoy 30-year fixed-rate mortgages. Buying a house is no longer out of reach. Owning a house is a symbol of many middle-class Americans.

Later, the housing loan models in major countries around the world were basically developed on this basis.

Now in the 21st century, as the Internet frenzy of about ten years recedes, the bubble has dissipated.

Both the U.S. government and capital urgently need a new phantom to make the economy prosper.

At least it looks prosperous.

Capital and the federal government finally chose the tried and tested tool of real estate.

Especially before and after George came to power, American financial capital was completely released from its cage.

Everything is irreversible.

When Abel said this to his two friends at this time, he did not want to remind them to pay attention to market trends.

Because in fact, for both Buffett and Bloomberg, the subprime mortgage crisis is more of an "opportunity" than a risk to them. In parallel time and space, after the subprime mortgage crisis ended, the assets of these two people experienced a huge increase.

Especially Bloomberg. In a parallel time and space, before the subprime mortgage crisis, Bloomberg's wealth was probably only ranked among the top 50 in the United States.

In 2010, when the aftermath of the subprime mortgage crisis was almost over, he was about to retire as mayor of New York City.

His name is already ranked among the top 10 richest people in the United States and even the world.

At its peak, it even ranked in the top three...

Some people say this is because he served as mayor of New York City for so long.

Yes, that does account for a large part. But in the final analysis, the terrible subprime mortgage crisis also brought great opportunities to Bloomberg.

Bloomberg grew tremendously during the crisis, and after the crisis ended, it became the most influential financial information source in the world.

Not to mention that outside of Bloomberg, Bloomberg's investment funds have grown 10 times in 5 years…

In short, crisis, crisis, since there is danger, of course there is opportunity.

Abel was not saying this to them now because he wanted to remind them. Because Abel knew that although they might be a little slower than themselves, they could also realize the danger much earlier than most people.

Now Abel told them so far in advance because he wanted to reveal the news to the outside world - he already knew that this kind of thing was going to happen, so he didn't want to use it to ambush him.

What you should be worried about is whether I will ambush you during this crisis.

In doing so, he was saying hello to the outside world and to other people of his kind.

The two allies became his mouthpieces in a sense.

"... As of last month, 105 financial securities sales companies have filed for bankruptcy. This data seems normal, but as of this month, less than 10 days have passed. There have been another 53 financial bond companies, the same A bankruptcy filing was initiated."

"George, tell me. What did your staff or your financial advisers tell you? Did they say this was normal, or did they say nothing about this to you?"

"Huh, normal conditions? Not normal at all. I told you last time, George. The eye of the storm has formed and it will affect you as soon as the middle of next year. If you do nothing, next year The end of the year will be very difficult for you. As the husband of little Laura and a close friend of the Bush family, I am making this call to you. But how to do it, I think whether it is you or Herbert. Or you The team must be more professional than me. Don't ask me for more opinions, this is my opinion."

"Okay, bye, George. Have a nice evening."

"Ha... it's none of my business. I'm going to have a good night anyway~"

When Abel's motorcade returned to Smith Tower, he took his chairman's private elevator and went straight to the apron of the building's annex building.

The owner of the white house called him on the way, and Abel casually told George the reminder he had just issued to the two allies at Charlie Brown's Pizza.

The last time he was in Washington, he had actually warned the Herberts.

To mention it now is just to remind them again.

Don't think that these human elites and the top leaders of the empire can really make all kinds of plans and strategize thousands of miles away.

Because in fact, except for the occasional powerful man and a large group of powerful followers of the powerful man, or a large group of powerful men descended from the sky.

The rest of the time, it can be said that most of the human leaders are almost grass-roots teams!

Especially in the United States after World War II, the White House was often composed of grass-roots teams.

Because the more powerful and elite capital behind the scenes no longer allows the white house to have a grassroots team.

Who can call a serious and capable team, but they almost subconsciously want to restrict them?

In order not to be restricted, capital cannot allow real elites to come to power.

This is actually inevitable. White House has always done a good job in this regard. It was not until after World War II that it became what it is now.

The same goes for other countries in the world. Capital is a ferocious beast, and its nature is not subject to change by region, race, or individual.

"Pengpeng——"

The sound of the helicopter engine was turned off, and the sound of the rotating wings of the aircraft stopped.

Abel just got off the plane.

In the brightly lit Long Island Manor, in front of the helicopter landing pad, Britney, wearing a white dress with her long blond hair, looked very "fairy" and quickly greeted her with the butler and maid. come out.

Abel walked towards her with a bright smile on his face. He walked forward quickly and put his arms around her waist, which had become slim again after hard work after giving birth. He looked at the sweet smile on her face, soft and soft. He said in a loud voice: "Tsk, dear, it's hard to imagine that you have given birth to a child. Look at this waist, it is slimmer than most women."

Britney thought to herself, I work out so hard, and I started working out not long after giving birth. Isn't it just for this effect? It would be fatal if I were rejected by you!

"My dear, you speak so beautifully." Britney smiled happily and sweetly, and gave her own. The two of them kissed each other without touching each other. The sweetness they displayed was truly enviable.

The main reason is that Britney, who has recovered from her mental illness and has no serious physical illness, is at her peak physical condition at this time, with top-notch beauty and figure.

Especially after giving birth to Abel's child, the extra charming temperament in the innocence of a girl made her even more attractive.

I don't know how many times better it is than Xiao Tiantian at this time in parallel time and space.

"Welcome home, BOSS." Mrs. Rowling, the housekeeper, greeted Abel with a happy and reserved smile on her face.

Little Mrs. Rowling was transferred from California by Kayla.

She was originally not from the Abel system, in other words, she was not from Texas, but from the California consortium.

Abel had no objection to Keira being around people she was used to, but at his request, little Mrs. Rowling was also sent to England for a year-long training and retraining.

Her family also moved to Texas to live under Rock Security regulations.

It was only this year that she was allowed to appear in front of Abel, mainly providing housekeeping services to Kayla.

Abel hugged Britney who was nestled in his arms, smiled and nodded to the young housekeeper Rowling, "Thank you for your hard work, Mrs. Rowling. When will Kayla come back?"

"It's my honor to serve you and your ladies. Dinner is ready. Mrs. Keira is already on the way and will be home in about 10 minutes." Little Mrs. Rowling said with a smile and extended her hand to make a treat. Gesture, half a body behind Abel and Britney, reporting to Abel, and the other maids followed behind the three of them with smiles on their faces.

As a maid, Abel cannot speak casually without asking specifically. Being cautious in words and deeds is their first rule.

The maids of the Smith family today are no longer the market products of the past.

Almost all of them have been adjusted and trained by Mrs. Joanna, and must be qualified before they can take up the job.

In addition to almost all of them having good looks and slim figures, most of them also have their own skills.

In terms of maid quality, the maids of the Smith family are definitely not inferior to any domestic team in the world today.

Entering the warm home, under Britney's gentle and considerate service, after taking off her coat and suit, Abel put his arm around her waist and sat on the sofa in the living room. He saw Avril Lavigne's interview being played on the TV and laughed. Then he said to Britney: "Where is my little punk pregnant woman?"

"Giggle...she has been resting since she accepted today's exclusive interview. She said that pregnant women need to rest and has been sleeping all afternoon. I went to check on her just now, and she ate something and said she wanted to continue sleeping."

Britney, who was snuggled intimately in Abel's arms, smiled happily and raised her head to look at his handsome profile.

This opportunity for the two of them to be alone will make Britney feel that she can completely possess him for a short period of time.

She liked this feeling very much and it made her feel at ease.
