Smith Manor.

night.

Abel and Alexander, father and son, were sitting next to a warm fireplace.

The surrounding area is also filled with cabinets, and the cabinets are filled with rooms filled with various firearms.

There are many kinds of guns in the room.

If a gun fan comes in, they will think they are in heaven.

This is the Smith family,

A gun magazine used to collect and store various firearms.

In addition to various long and short guns, there is even an AMAC-1500.

When talking about AMAC-1500, many people may not understand what kind of gun it is.

To put it simply, this is a standard heavy machine gun that appeared in the mid-1980s and was equipped by the US Army in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

It was not until Bartley appeared that amac-1500 was eliminated.

In addition to this AMAC-1500, there are also two light machine guns.

That's outrageous.

There is a basement below this room.

It is divided into two parts, one part stores food and fresh water, and some daily necessities.

The other part stores ammunition for the various guns above.

In fact, this place is also the Smith family's safe house.

It was built during the Cold War with the goal of being able to support about five people and survive here for more than three months without supplies.

It can also withstand attacks from the biological, chemical and nuclear trinity, and also has an escape route if necessary.

As far as Abel knew,

In this room, Alexander and Emily also stored some gold bars.

They will be used as currency for the Smith family in extreme situations.

In fact, before 1991, many wealthy Americans or middle-class people from well-off families would prepare similar safe houses.

At a certain time, above the heads of Americans.

It really means that each person can share the equivalent of many tons.

This room is so important that only members of the Smith family can enter.

Now, the father and son are talking in this safe house.

Dinner room conversation.

It ended with Alexander's silence, Emily's worry and excitement, and Abel's indifference.

But after dinner, Alexander brought his son.

Called to the safe house.

At the same time, his wife Emily was not allowed in.

"There are only two of us here now."

"In the most important room of our Smith."

"My son, now you can tell me what you did in New York."

Alexander's face was serious, and he looked at his child.

His eyes were very stern, if the workers outside or the surrounding farmers saw Alexander's eyes like this.

You will definitely be scared involuntarily.

Because they knew that this was the expression of "Stern Alexander" when he was about to get angry.

Abel didn't worry too much.

Because he knew that no matter how angry and angry Alexander was.

But his anger and anger will never be vented on two people.

One is Alexander's wife, the other is Alexander's son.

"I opened a company in New York. A financial investment company."

He was not afraid of Alexander, but when he came back this time, Abel also wanted his parents to know what he was doing in New York.

Because he had an idea, and this idea required Alexander's cooperation.

"This company makes a lot of money?" Alexander asked.

Otherwise, we can't afford those bodyguards outside.

"No. It was because I made a lot of money that I opened these companies." Abel looked at Alexander seriously.

He spoke again: "Father, I want to ask you a question. That is...how much wealth does our Smith family in Tarrant County have?"

Alexander frowned, "Is this question important?"

"It's very important. It's related to my next plan."

Alexander frowned, and after hesitating for a while, he whispered:

"About this issue, I have actually wanted to tell you for a long time. After all, I only have you as my son, and these will all be yours from now on."

"How much money does our Smith family have..."

"First tell me what you know. For example, First Smith Farm Company."

“Our family’s land, farms, pastures, and properties are all owned by this company.”

"The market value of this company is about 100 million."

"The main reason is that the land is valuable. The most fertile land in Tarrant County is all here."

"In addition, Emily and I have some investments in Fort Worth. It's not a lot, maybe more than two million US dollars."

"I also have a few shares of the Houston Rockets and Rangers under my name. Your grandfather bought these shares back then, and their total value should be around US$10 million now."

"Besides these, there are the savings of Emily and I. I don't know how much this is. Your mother is in charge of it. But it should be one or two million dollars."

"That is to say..." Abel said: "It's less than 120 million US dollars? Is this all the property of our Smith family?"

"What do you mean less than 120 million U.S. dollars?" Hearing his son's tone, Alexander was a little angry. "In the entire Tarrant County, except for the oil guys, no one is richer than us."

Maybe he was a little unhappy, maybe he really wanted to give his son the answer.

After Alexander hesitated for a while, he finally whispered:

"In addition to these, we have a treasure in this room we are in."

Abel raised his eyebrows: "You mean the gold?"

He knew that the Smith family stored gold in this safe house.

Alexander told him this when he was sixteen years old.

Just where to put it and what is the quantity.

Didn't tell him.

When he said this, Alexander Smith looked a little proud, and he said:

"That's right, this is gold. The first person to start storing gold was my grandfather!"

"My father, in accordance with my grandfather's request, has been secretly buying gold."

"And I do it the same way they do."

"Remember? My child, your mother and I.

At the end or beginning of each month.

I always go to Austin, Dallas, or Houston.

At that time we told you that we were going on a trip.

But actually, dear, we are going to buy gold! Half of the monthly profit of Smith Farm is used by us to buy gold."

Abel recalled it, and it was indeed like this in his memory.

Alexander and his wife go out more than a dozen times every year.

There are any reasons, but the most commonly used reason is traveling.

Now he was told that the couple were going to buy gold.

At this time, Alexander whispered again:

"Last month, Emily counted the gold. It just exceeded 120,000 ounces! Including what we bought in the past two months, we still have at least 120,450 ounces of gold."
