America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 474 The Tolerance of the Shrub Family

United States, Texas.

North Central, Tarrantshire.

It was a fine day in Tarrantshire, mostly sunny and cloudless for the whole of the county.

April is mostly good weather for Texas.

At this time, Texas is neither cold nor hot, and it is in the spring stage when everything grows and the grass grows and warblers fly.

Smith Farm, north of the farm estate.

That faces the front of the small hill named Mount Smith.

On Yinyin's big lawn, looking at his old comrade-in-arms Herbert Shush, he smiled and handed the satellite phone back to his entourage.

Alex Smith couldn't help but said a little jealously:
"Hey, it's all right now. Your little girl has completely seduced my grandson's soul, and now he's looking for you instead of me, my own grandfather."

If it is more serious, it will only affect his position as the director of the FSA.

"Hey--"

Looking at his comrade-in-arms like a child.

Even harder than George and Herbert's.

The relationship between Britain and the United States is also different from the relationship between China and the United States.

Although the more important identity of Howard Davis is actually the chairman of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

He stayed inside for more than an hour, but he didn't hear his subordinates say that there was a reporter.

At this time, Abel had already arrived at his office on the top.

This is a name for Scotland when it was first born in Scotland hundreds of years ago.

The two old men, Herbert and Alex, watched the women teasing their children not far away, and whispered about various topics.

Howard Davis who went out was immediately surrounded by them.

Abel, on behalf of Smith Financial Group, and Howard, on behalf of RBS, formally signed the agreement and exchanged contracts.

Standing in front of the Fury Building, he laughed loudly and said:
"First of all, everyone. I am not here today as the head of the FSA. Don't forget, I am also the chairman of the Royal Bank of Scotland. The main reason I am here today is that the Royal Bank of Scotland will be with..."

That's the Herberts, to Alex's place over there in Houston.

Howard Davis' actions are not as verbose as he is when he speaks.

Up to now, each branch has basically formed its own faction, each in charge of its own, and it is only the same organization in name.

"Instead of caring about Abel, who doesn't need us to care at all, we might as well care more about Alexander and Neil."

……

"You mean that old lady who wants to see my grandson and wants to hand over her money to Abel?"

Alex said.

Today was the day when Herbert and Barbara, the two of them, came to visit the Smiths from Austin.

When the old man came, he didn't leak the news, and there were no reporters outside.

And the most powerful faction is undoubtedly in the United States, that is, Herbert and his gang.

Neil Shrub, Abel's father-in-law, isn't really a good fit either.But compared to Alexander, Neil is somewhat better.

Faced with questions from reporters swarming.

What she can manage now is only the Free Masons Guild in England and some European members.

The latter possibility looks bad.

Howard is in the name of the chairman of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

But Alex also knows the internal structure of this organization very well.

said Herbert angrily.

"It was me and George, who thought it was not time for him to join. We voted no. Those people stopped talking about it because of our relationship with Abel."

When they heard that the Royal Bank of Scotland, the largest commercial bank in the UK, had also handed over funds to Smith Financial Trusteeship, they suddenly erupted into a huge uproar.

As an American, being pointed at by a big man like the former commander-in-chief.

He can't wait to be happy when the opponent wins, which means he must have made a lot of money.

"Then why hasn't he joined yet? Although I don't think your bullshit organization can really control the world. But I still think it's very good to have a Smith join in."

The old guy didn't talk too much this time, he got down to business as soon as he came up.

"Mr. Smith, for the next 15 years, LPs will sit back and wait to eat their dividends."

The next step is the members of Congress, and even the governor...

It would be weird if you weren't nervous!

"It's because of me..." Herbert explained softly:

Alex said.

Abel laughed and said, "It's a small gamble, one pound a year for a total of 1 years, so how about betting 1 pounds?"

Within the Free Masons Guild, various divisions have also been re-established.

Seeing the boss's interest, David next to him laughed softly:

Just when he was about to walk out of the Fury Building in London, where Smith Financial's headquarters are located.

So much so that the boss behind him couldn't help but invest another 50 billion pounds.

After all, the family style of other people's shrubs is there, and they have been familiar with them since childhood, but they are somewhat different.

On the contrary, it is very fast.

Howard couldn't even get angry when Abel did this.

In the beginning, the Free Masons Guild was very powerful.

"..."

"Respected host? Is that possible? He's so young."

Herbert knew Alex's doubts, so he continued to explain softly:
"I know your doubts. The reason why we did this is because we want him to directly become Lord Right. Again, we also hope that he can be Lord Left, or a senior member."

This is like in Huaxia, the largest bank in Huaxia's first universe, Shanggong, handing over money to companies like Goldman Sachs for management.

At the moment, Charlize Theron feels it's normal to be nervous.

The main reason why the bush brothers of George's generation can be so united is because of her.

This is called foundation.

When the big guy behind Howard wanted to get in touch with Abel.

She was a good mother, and a good matriarch of a large family.

Son's way is easy, because it is in Texas.

"Kensington Palace, Mr Smith."

Later, after experiencing a split, a Guangming Gang came out.

This time it was Barbara, who wanted to see Abel's illegitimate daughter, so she rushed directly to Smith Farm.

"It would be nice if that was the case. But in fact, it's my cutest little granddaughter who was seduced by your bastard grandson... Look, because I love him so much. She can even tolerate this kind of thing."

If there is not a good son in the back, the Yue family with a son is strong enough.

Alexander Smith's character, in Alex's opinion, is really not suitable for Zhengzhi.

Alex and Herbert did not continue this topic either.

Alex said in surprise.

"Mr. Davis, what do you think of the stock of ITV in the UK? Is someone running a banker or a mouse warehouse?"

As for Alexander, he had been a farmer for the first 50 years.

To gain a firm foothold in the two most powerful states in the United States at the same time, currently no family can do it.

But if it succeeds, the power of the shrub family will definitely rise to the point where people can't look directly at it.

The Furui Building in London is not high, with only a dozen floors.

"I don't blame fate or anyone else. If I want to blame it, I blame Abel. It's all his fault."

And outside the Furui Building.

The key is that she is still the mistress of his granddaughter's fiancé, and she also gave birth to an illegitimate daughter.

"Mr. Howard Davis, it is said that you have a good relationship with Abel Smith in private. Is this true?"

Barbara smiled and didn't answer Aliya's words.

The current Free Masons Guild is no longer the Free Masons Guild it used to be.

Arya Smith also said softly beside her.

Alex understood Herbert's explanation, and felt that the old bush's idea was very reasonable.

Although the path Neil chose was much more difficult than that of Alexander.

Alex frowned, he looked at his old comrade-in-arms, but didn't speak.

"Isn't this your grandson's idea? He convinced my son. Neil is now thinking about being in California and creating what I did in Texas. What else can I do besides supporting him ?”

Faced with this question, Herbert shrugged, "It doesn't matter. He can be a member of the British Freemason and the American Freemason at the same time. In fact, people don't value such false names. In the new century, we value more It's about real benefits."

But how much will have an impact.

Howard smiled with great interest: "Mr. Smith is so sure? Then I can't lose my interest. What's the bet?"

"Don't be nervous, kid."

"Presumably our Mr. Davis is a little annoyed now. With so many reporters around, many things will become a little unclear."

Fortunately, by her side, except for her and Abel's daughter, little Arya.

Alex curled his lips inwardly, thinking that Herbert was acting good after taking advantage of it.

Howard Davis whispered a few words to Abel.

Lukewarm sunshine in the afternoon.

But at this time, Howard also knew what to say.

The two had already talked about what Abel called Herbert just now.

Herbert laughed.

At the same time, he is also the director of the Monetary Authority. Many people in the UK are dissatisfied.

Two old women, one is Abel's grandmother, Alex Smith's wife, Alicia Smith.

"These two children, under the instigation of that bastard boy, have gone on a path they shouldn't have taken. Hey, I don't know how far they can go."

Barbara Pierce Bush speaks with an infectious voice.

It is indeed a way of thinking about Abel from Abel's point of view.

After listening to Alex's words, Herbert actually thought of this possibility a long time ago.

The two were in the same Air Force pilot quarters and had the same conversation when they couldn't sleep at night.

The person with the most honorable status is generally called "Right Master".

"Mr Davies, as the head of the FSA. What do you think about the increasing financial crime in London and will the FSA deal with it more severely?"

What Alex means is that the United States is not in a hurry to recruit Abel.

is the time and address.

These bastards hid so well, someone must have been walking around and even helping them.

Barbara's gentle relief Charlize Theron,
"Herbert meant no harm. And it's not your fault, it's fate's fault. Little Laura told me she wasn't angry, and she liked little Arya."

Those are all newspapers and media in the UK under someone's banner.

Abel smiled and nodded to Howard Davis to show that he heard it.

"Just part of it. We all know she's very cautious. She never puts all her eggs in one basket."

Alex and Herbert had no choice but to change the location of their visit to this place.

"And even if he can't reach the sky in one step, the later he joins, the better. Because he is still growing, and time is on Abel's side. The more he joins, the higher his status will be when he joins. What's more, now So is the Free Masons' Guild."

Old Smith, though not a member of the Freemasons, was a little less qualified.

Seeing Herbert's eyes looking over, and his pointing fingers.

But ordinary Brits don't think so.

Smith Sr. knew his son's character.

So, it is true that an old man is like a treasure in a family.

This kind of thing often happened after Abel and little Laura established a relationship.

They were teasing little Alicia Laura Smith, who was almost half a year old, pretty and doll-like.

This allowed Abel to even see Howard Davis' white beard curled up when he spoke.

As a result, Howard Davis had to share the sight of a large number of Smith Financial due to the British ITV stock incident.

Abel handed over the contract to his assistant Jess, looked at Howard and said with a smile:
"How about we make a bet that next year you will definitely sign me at least another 50 billion pounds."

There is no doubt that in the British financial world, this is definitely big news.

Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, he looked at the crowd of reporters on the ground.

Herbert nodded lightly, "Not yet. In fact, last year, many people thought that if he was not allowed in, the Free Masons Guild would be a little abnormal."

Howard then nodded back to Abel with satisfaction, and then left with a smile.

The old man felt again that he had been right in insisting on the marriage between Abel and the bush.

Even if Abel hadn't been doing this, he wouldn't have been around for long.

Fortunately, my grandson has already reached a higher position.

There is no doubt that this must be the handiwork of the Yankee inside.

To the point where even the powerful shrub family is willing to endure for him.

It seems like many years ago.

"Abel, hasn't he been absorbed by you free masons?" Alex asked suddenly.

In doing so, Abel was giving Howard Davis a hand.

"Nothing is impossible," said Herbert:
"Before this, who believed that he could turn Morgan and Rockefeller's attacks on him into cooperation with them?"

But his timing was good.

Thinking of this, Alex's heart felt dark, and he immediately regained his mental balance.

There was a beautiful young woman in the shade with her baby in her arms.

Not the Alexis couple going to Austin's bush estate.

As the name suggests, Zuo Zunzhu is similar to the vice president, and also holds a large part of the power.

Then Alex felt that Alexander could only be Sheriff of Tarrant if he died.

As soon as it comes out now, there are so many reporters.

"Then the old lady in England sees him now, is it really just for the custody of funds? As far as I know, she can't control our side now. She doesn't want to accept him in advance before you and let him be that Members on the side."

There was some tension on the face of the pretty young woman.

It may be better, after all, the national conditions are different.

"Herbert, have you really thought about it clearly, do you really want Neil to do that? If that happens, not only George, but you will also be in some trouble."

I only feel that Howard has entered and exited Smith Financial Company under the circumstances that Smith Financial is currently involved in possible violations of the law, which is really doubtful.

The European part is still only a small part with very few members.

"When the time comes, Prince William will hold another banquet to invite you."

Herbert said these words, and pointed his finger not far ahead.

"The time is April 4, and there are 28 days left."

Howard nodded with a smile, and the two sides exchanged greetings for a while, then got up and said goodbye.

She wisely chose another topic, redirecting the attention of Abel's grandma and mistress back to lovely little Arya.

Later, these journalists in the UK.

In fact, it is the president, who directs the affairs of the clubhouse.Have great power and do not need to refer to the opinions of other members.Also officiates ceremonies and celebrations.

It took nearly an hour to review the agreement between the two parties, and the legal teams of both parties finally confirmed that the agreement was correct.

If it hadn't been for the marriage to the bush, and the help from Herbert and George.

Watching Herbert sigh, Alex also sighed together.

Even her husband once publicly said to the media: "If there is no Barbara, George and I may still be digging for oil in the Gulf of Mexico."

There have long been rumors asking him to step down and hand over the FSA.

"Mr. Davis! You are the head of the FSA. How did you come out of Smith's building? The FSA is investigating Smith Finance again. Are you leading the team this time?"

Howard even saw a lot of "Daily XX" icons among the reporters.

In fact, strictly speaking, this is not a big deal.

The grandchildren, the shrubs, and myself are the greatest help.

Alex thought happily in his heart, and he heard Herbert say again:
"The current situation is different. People nowadays can be freelance stonemasons, or they can also be members of the Guangming Gang at the same time... So it depends on the choice of this child, Abel, and it really doesn't matter too much."

Unlike now, I completed the double jump in two years, and now I'm almost triple jumping, and I'm going to Austin to be a state senator.

The reporters were very excited and continued to ask Howard Davis more questions.

Howard was startled when he saw this scene, but after he realized it, he felt a little upset.

A large group of British media reporters who had received the news were waiting.

Herbert smiled slightly.

"Haha, okay, I'll take it!"

With a large number of lawyers, accountants, and actuaries, they went to the headquarters of Smith Financial Group (UK).

Alex shifted the topic to Herbert's son.

Of course, it might be the master behind him who made him so fast.

Later, as the British Empire became the Great Yin Empire, the sun never sets became the sun has set.

But Howard Davis, as chairman of the Bank of Scotland.

Like the old lady in Alex's mouth.

At best, Howard was suspected, and his reputation was not very good.

The other is Herbert's wife, little Laura's grandmother, one of the soul duo of the Bush family, Barbara Pierce Bush.

Then Abel didn't know how many detours he had to take!

After they see the news.

So what if Abel is absorbed by the British side.

Alex complained: "I don't know. I'm not in your position yet."

Howard, who exchanged contracts and shook hands with him, smiled and said:

Alex breathed a sigh of relief.

The identity of the director of the FSA is not that important.

……

London time, the next day.

Howard Davis smiled brightly as he asked his subordinates to take the microphones handed over by some reporters.

Among the free masons guild.

But he wasn't worried about this possibility, because...it didn't matter.

Also standing were two old women.

Not much to worry about, because that was Barbara Bush.

This is the largest private equity fund that Smith Financial has received in the UK, and the fundraising has been completed.

That's it, take advantage of Texas spring.

That being the case, before leaving office, it might as well be used to shield oneself from the gun.

"Contact David, oh, I mean David in New York."

Abel suddenly spoke softly, and said to several cronies beside him, "Let's start a new hunt. The goal this time is—"

"GBP!!"
