America’s Road To Wealth

  Chapter 412 The son of the chaebol "hopes his father will be unified"

  The afternoon of January 29th.

  In the Texas House of Representatives, the new speaker was finally elected after three votes.

  The new speaker of the Texas House of Representatives is Mr. Alexander Smith, a state representative and county governor from Tarrant County.

  In the state legislature, Mr. Alexander Smith resigned from the post of County Governor of Tarrant County in accordance with the procedure, and was sworn in as the new speaker of the Texas House of Representatives.

  Since then, from mid-January this year, the impeachment incident of the Texas State Assembly has come to an end.

   On the way out of the Texas State Capitol.

  In the cabin of the Cadillac monster.

  Two years ago, he was a very traditional Texas farmer, and now Mr. Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, Alexander could not help but say:

   "I just got used to living in Fort Worth, and now I'm going to move to Austin again. Seriously, I hate hypocritical Austin."

"Come on."

  In the front co-pilot, Abel looked back at his mother Emily, who was sitting next to Alexander with a smile, and smiled again and said to his father, Alexander:

   "I don't know how many people, in a lifetime, can't complete the path you have traveled in the past year and a half. My dear dad, don't get cheap and act like a good boy."

  Hearing his son's rude reply, Alexander snorted, but he was not angry.

  Alexander himself knew very well in his heart that how many people would envy him for such an experience.

  My own achievements are all brought about by the only son in front of me.

  Otherwise, if it were me, I might have to struggle since I was young to experience this kind of power.

   is only possible.

   And now, I hardly do anything.

  Because of his son, he became one of the Big Four in Texas without any effort.

  I don’t know how many political elites in the United States will envy themselves, so envious that they yell at them.

  Thinking of this, even Alexander, who had no interest in power and governance.

   At this time, he couldn't help feeling a little ambitious.

  For a creature like a male, in many cases, power is really the best stimulant.

  A sheriff, and also the sheriff of Tarrant, who was born and raised by himself.

  Alexander didn't feel much excitement or a sense of accomplishment.

   It should be said that the feeling of novelty is more.

  But now the identity has become the Speaker of the House of Representatives of Texas.

   This is the role of a big shot in the United States.

  Even "Alexander, who is indifferent to fame", it is difficult to calm down at the moment.

  Emily, who was listening to the conversation between the father and son, couldn't help whispering: "But...Alexander, are you able to do it?"

   This is indeed a problem.

   Not the same as being Sheriff of Tarrantshire.

  In Tarrant County, the Smith family has been rooted for nearly two hundred years.

  Contacts and in-laws, even if the family is small, are all over Tarrant.

   There is this layer of relationship, plus there is Abel who is flourishing outside.

  And the huge coercion of the shrub family brought about by Abel.

  Even if Alexander is in Tarrant County, do nothing.

   You can also stay firmly in the position of the county sheriff.

   If you want to do something, it will be easier on the whole because of these factors.

  But now the stage is moved from Tarrant, the hometown of the Smith family, to Austin, the most complicated place in Texas.

   Even if Abel's power is still there, the shrub family can support him close at hand.

  But whether Alexander can be the speaker of the House of Representatives in Texas is indeed a big nickname.

   For a long time, the place where Alexander showed his ability was Smith Farm.

  One year as Sheriff in Tarrantshire.

   At most, it just made Alexander familiar with the corresponding rules and procedures.

  As a wife, Emily, who can be regarded as born in a wealthy family in Kansas, is quite normal to have such worries.

  Alexander opened his mouth, wanting to tell his wife not to worry.

  He just opened his mouth, but the words haven't come out yet.

  Already heard his son say: "Dear mother, don't worry about this. Who do you think is more capable than Dad or George?"

"Forehead…"

   Emily didn't know how to answer.

   Let’s say George Bush is excellent…

  Emily actually knew George Bush very early.

  The Smith family has indeed been in contact with the shrub family for a long time.

  Because of the relationship between Alex and Herbert.

   Especially in George, when he was the general manager of the Texas Rangers, he went to Smith Farm once or twice a month.

  Because the home field of the Texas Rangers, as well as the training ground, is in Tarrant County.

  Alex was also a shareholder of the Rangers at the time, and one of the initiators.

  The relationship between the two parties is very good.

   In Emily's opinion.

   During his tenure as the general manager of the Texas Rangers, and before George.

   No matter what aspect, he is not as good as his husband.

  She really looked like this.

  But in her opinion, she is inferior to her husband George Bush in every respect.

   But a few years ago, he easily became the governor of Texas.

   Even last year, he actually became the leader of the United States of America.

  Everyone has come to the bright side, the highest position an American man can achieve.

  At this time, let Emily say that George is not as capable as her husband.

  She was a little bit speechless.

  Seeing his mother's reaction, Abel smiled.

  Emily's reaction is also the normal reaction of many Texans, or Americans, to George Bush.

   Say something rude.

  George has a good personality, and if his ability is convenient, he can be regarded as a pass in front of him.

   Without his family, the most important thing is without his father.

   It is said that George Bush can become the leader of the United States, but few people can believe it.

  George Bush became the commander-in-chief. Many people in Texas still think it is magical.

   and most of them shine all the way, from the beginning to the end, they are the successive leaders of Zhengzhi stars.

  George can take office, it is true that many people do not understand.

  But reality is like this. Literary and artistic works need to talk about logic, which is absent most of the time.

  George can become the commander in chief, in the eyes of many Americans, it is already magical.

  But if the Americans now know the real estate and TV businessman who is very unknown in New York.

  If they will become the leader of the United States in more than ten years, they must feel even more magical.

  Because George was at least from a wealthy family compared to him.

  Before becoming the grand commander, he also served as the governor for several years.

  Even if the ability is not enough, how can I say that I have relevant experience.

  But in the reality of parallel time and space, such magical things happened like this.

   There is something more magical behind, such as the one who is ready to hold back anytime and anywhere on important occasions.

   So remember.

  Literary and artistic works need logic, at least they need their readers to feel that they have logic.

  Reality is unnecessary because reality has no readers.

   "So don't worry, Mom." Abel reassured Emily:

   "As long as your precious son doesn't have an accident. Then your dear husband, his position will only become more and more stable, or he will rise higher and higher. This is the reality, it is our United States, and it is the reality of this world."

   Emily is not really Mrs. Stupid Farmer.

  She is also a top student who graduated from Rice University, and her family background is not bad.

  It's just a simple life of a farmer, so she doesn't need to think about it for decades.

  In the past year, she mainly manages the farm, and has not yet entered the status of the wife of a serious political figure.

  Hearing what her son said now, Emily also understood.

   "Okay." Abel's mother nodded, "George Bush can do it. Then I believe my husband can do it too."

  She looked at Alexander sweetly, her eyes full of emotion.

   "Oh, my love..." Alexander hugged his wife directly.

  Looking at his parents who started throwing dog food, Abel shook his head with a smile, looked away, and sat down in the passenger cab.

  Looking ahead at the spacious streets of Austin

  Abel thought to himself—

  Herbert Bush can make his son the leader of the United States.

  Then why can't I, Abe Smith, let my father complete this achievement?

  Compared to the shrub family, what the Smith family lacks today is the heritage.

  But in terms of resources, Abel feels that he is not much inferior to the shrub family.

  Father became the speaker of the Texas House of Representatives.

  Abel felt that for him, this was a crucial step for Alexander to really take his own plan.

  It was the beginning of Alexander stepping out of this small place in Tarrant County and moving towards a broader stage.

  The next step, what Alexander needs to plan is the status of a member of Congress, or even a senator!

  Or you can consider letting your father become the governor.

   Of course, there is no way to be the governor of Texas for the time being.

  Rick Perry's background is too strong, and his ability is also very strong.

  The Bush family relies heavily on him, and the Smith family will become good friends with him in the future.

   If you compete with this guy, it is easy to lose both sides.

  But... Texas is not the only conservative state in the United States!

  For example, Kansas next door is also a deep red conservative state.

  The shrub family is over there and has some influence as well.

   And Indiana, which is also a deep red state now.

   More importantly, it is the fourth most influential place besides Texas, California and New York.

   Through a partnership with one of the Indiana Senators.

  The top 3 newspapers in the local market are now owned by Smith Newspaper Group.

   Just this point has occupied the biggest advantage of public opinion in the local area.

  Why was it that the Donkey Party was able to defeat the Elephant Party?

  One of the reasons is because the donkey party relies on the Internet to occupy most of the public opinion. Mouthpiece. Tongue!

  And Alexander is only in his 50s now, two years younger than George.

   In Texas or other places in the United States, hang out for a few more years and accumulate enough background.

   It is not impossible to try to push upwards.

   Just like what I said to my parents just now.

  George can become the leader of the United States, the most important thing is his father and family.

   Whether Alexander can go that far, the most important thing is whether his own son has the ability to support him.

  The most important key, everything in the end, still belongs to oneself.

   "Hoo—"

   Sitting in the passenger seat of the Cadillac monster, Abel let out a foul breath.

  Abel knew that the next thing he had to do was to adjust the staff around his father.

  Alexander was among Tarrant's staff, and the first thing Abel thought of was Dwayne.

   As a former member of the Tarrant County Councilor, Devine has been by his father's side and has been working hard for more than a year.

   Without Devine, Alexander would never have sat so comfortably in the position of Sheriff of Tarrant County.

  But Dwayne is really not capable. He is a guy who can't even be re-elected as a member of the Tarrant County Councilor.

  Father's "chief of staff" is only available in Tarrant County.

   When we arrive in Austin, we can no longer use it.

   A few days ago, Abel had already started the Smith Brain Group to find suitable staff for Alexander.

   This step is critical.

  This is also the reason why George can generally do pretty well in the position of the commander-in-chief of the United States.

  George Bush's staff team, many of them were members of that team when Herbert lived in the white house.

  Most are experienced and capable, and trustworthy.

   It is not so easy for Alexander to have the same staff team.

   Fortunately, my father is only the speaker of the Texas House of Representatives.

  In Abel's plan.

  My father and I have worked hard for several years, which can be used to form the Smith family's own team.

   Even if there are occasional mistakes in the middle, it is within an acceptable level.

   Naturally, we also need to take care of Alexander's feelings.

   After all, he is his father, and his role has always been above his own.

  Now if he arranges the whole process by himself, Abel is also worried that the old guy will have a rebellious mentality.

   Anyway, the work in this area will not be too easy.

   After all, it involves the dirtiest thing since the birth of human beings like Zhengzhi.

  It needs to consider all aspects, much more than business and other aspects.

   Come on step by step.

   First of all, it is to let my father pass the hurdle at the end of this year.

  Because according to the time, at the end of 2002, during the mid-term elections in the United States.

  Texas, like many other states in the United States, will also take a free ride on the mid-term elections and come to an internal election.

  Rick Perry will seek re-election at the end of this year, instead of taking over from George easily and easily.

  The position of my own father as a congressman is because it is the reason to replace the unlucky Mark Jelinken.

  The position of the unlucky guy will also be re-elected this year, and Alexander will replace the unlucky guy.

   Naturally, it became that Alexander was going to be re-elected.

  If he fails to be re-elected at that time, even the position of Sheriff Tarrant will be lost.

  Then my father will become a joke in Texas...

   Of course, this situation is very difficult to happen.

  Unless he suddenly loses his influence before the end of this year.

  Thinking of this, Abel already knew what to do next.

  In the next few days, Abel stayed with his parents in Austin.

  Alexander and his wife will need to stay in Austin in the future.

  Became the speaker of the Texas House of Representatives, Alexander became one of the stars of Texas.

  Emily couldn't manage Smith Farm like she did when she was in Tarrant County.

  Many times, Austin needs Emily to accompany Alexander to attend some occasions.

  The "First Lady" culture is very important in the official arena of the United States.

  Emily will go back and hand over the work of Smith Farm, and hand over the family farm to someone she trusts to manage.

  The two are based in Austin, and the most important thing is of course the issue of accommodation.

   This is very easy to solve, not to mention Abel's new starting point real estate company.

  Even the Smith family owns properties here.

  The family is in Austin and has a small villa in the southeast of the city center. Every year, Alex and his wife come to live here for two or three months.

   It is enough for the two parents to live directly with the grandfather and grandmother.

  The Smith family, with a small population, has always had a good family relationship, and they are not afraid of living together.

  After dealing with some trivial matters.

   On February 5, 2002, when George Bush, the US leader, boarded Air Force 1, he went to the country on the other side of the Pacific Ocean for a high-level diplomatic visit.

  Abel also boarded the "Smith" and took off from Austin Bergstrom International Airport.

one hour later.

  The "Smith" landed at the Houston Herbert Shrub Intercontinental Airport, 37 kilometers away from downtown Houston.

   From the name of the airport, we can see the influence of the shrub family in Houston.

  This airport also mainly provides aviation services for the Houston metropolitan area.

  It is the largest airport in Houston, and also the second largest and busiest airport in Texas after Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport.

  When Abel and his party waited and walked out of the terminal building.

  Outside the building, there are a large number of media reporters, who have long been waiting.

   Don't get me wrong, these reporters are not paparazzi or entertainment media reporters.

  Most of the paparazzi are mainly in Los Angeles and New York, where they make a living in these two largest and second largest cities in the United States.

   Outside the terminal building of Houston Herbert Bush Intercontinental Airport, the media reporters waiting for Abel are all specially dispatched by large media that rank among the top in the world.

  Like the local "Wall Street Journal", "New York Times", "Fortune" and so on in the United States.

  Like "The Times" and "Guardian" in the UK, "Asahi Shimbun" and "Yumai Shimbun" in the neon cabinet, "Le Monde" in France, "New Zurich Zeitung" in Switzerland, "Bild" in Germany, etc.

   They ran here, naturally they had received the wind in advance.

   And this rumor was released by Abel and the people from the Texas consortium.

   That's the last few days, Abel Smith will be in Houston.

  Business cooperation with many giant companies such as Hughes Aircraft, Lin-Temco-Valter, Tenneco, First City National Bank of Houston, etc., for mergers, acquisitions, etc.

  If these things are true, this cooperation may even have some impact on many aspects of the world.

  For example, since then, the richest man in the world who originally focused on finance and media.

  He will become one of the major shareholders of the largest arms chief in the world.

   It might not even be one of the dominant players.

   This is already a super big man for many small countries.

  Because of these reasons, there are a large number of large media reporters.

   You can even find some, neither the neon cabinets, nor Han Guo's Asian reporters.

  They come from China.

   The matter is of great importance, and the field is a bit sensitive.

  Even the Eastern "People's Daily", which has never been very concerned about American business news, sent a special reporter today.

   Now these reporters saw Abel and his team coming out of the airport terminal building on purpose for them to see.

  Even the security guards at the airport, the local police station in Houston, and the rock security staff have long been prepared.

   They were still staggered by the crazy and excited reporters.

  Suddenly, countless questions, accompanied by a sea of ​​flashing lights and camera shutters, slammed at Abel Smith crazily.
