Up to now, most of Pacific Energy's shares are still mortgaged with Pacific Bank of Commerce.

Pacific Energy Company now has to repay a large loan from Pacific Commercial Bank every month.

This acquisition model is the most common one in modern business society.

In the last century, Liu from Hong Kong Island liked to play this game the most.

That is to borrow money from banks, buy and snipe listed companies.

Once successful, let the listed company repay the loan to buy it.

In ancient times, this was equivalent to a landowner borrowing money from a bank to marry a concubine based on his credit.

After marrying his concubine back, the landlord was happy, but at the same time he also asked his concubine to work hard to make money and repay the loan sharks.

To be honest, this is probably the case with this model.

Abel did the same thing, but the difference was that he borrowed money from his own bank to buy himself a "concubine."

As long as his bank can maintain normal operations and there are no runs.

Then Abel will be safer than Da Liu and others.

At least the "concubine" he acquired in this way doesn't have to worry about being auctioned off in the market just because he hasn't repaid several installments of the loan.

George still didn't care about this and directly raised two fingers:

"Eighteen billion U.S. dollars is too difficult to calculate. Let's calculate it to 20 billion U.S. dollars. That's six fingers, 60 billion U.S. dollars."

Abel still wanted to say something, but George put down six fingers in front of him.

The owner of the white house said in a faint voice:

"Stop talking about it. With 60 billion US dollars, you are already the world's richest man. If you say it any more, my heart will hurt."

"Actually, there are more." Abel said:

"I also have a real estate company. I also have an aircraft and yacht rental company, as well as many private properties, shares, and many venture capital investments in Silicon Valley. I haven't counted the most valuable Smith Capital."

"Forget it, forget it." George waved his hand to him, "I'm no longer interested in how much money you have. Needless to say."

Seeing the little shrub's lack of interest, Abel couldn't help but laugh.

Abel found the owner of the white house more and more interesting.

Abel will feel relaxed physically and mentally when spending time with George.

Abel didn't feel any airs about him.

Abel didn't know whether this was George's nature or an ability he was pretending to have.

Or perhaps both.

But George Shrub looked like this, which really made Abel less wary of him.

"Okay." George raised his hand and looked at the time on the watch on his wrist.

"It's almost half past nine. I have to go to work, and I have to meet with the commander of Armenia later. I can't stay here with you any longer."

Neil, Jeb, and Abel all nodded.

The great commander-in-chief of the United States is still very busy sometimes.

George smiled and nodded to the three of them one last time, turned around and left, but before taking two steps, he turned back and pointed at Abel and said with a smile:

"Mr., the richest man in the world, remember to come to DC more often when you have time. Chatting with you is very interesting, a hundred times more interesting than chatting with Jeb."

Jeb: "."

Abel didn't say anything, but smiled and gave him an OK sign.

George also smiled and returned an OK gesture, then put his hands in his pockets and left gracefully.

The sun is gradually rising, and it's a little hot on the lawn.

The other members of the Bush family, after George left, also walked into the house one after another.

Neil and the proposal went back into the room.

Abel suddenly had an idea, and he whispered to Jeb and Neil:

"There is one thing, I don't know if you two. I don't know if the two elders are interested in it."

"Oh?" Neil looked at Abel, "What's the matter?"

After George left, Jeb, who was about to leave, stopped.

The governor of Florida is also very busy.

But after knowing Abel's approximate wealth, Jeb became willing to listen to Abel's words.

in this country.

To a certain extent, wealth is power and energy.

Wealth is muscle.

"Yeah." Abel thought for a while, and then he said, "Dear John and Neil," after he considered his tone.

John is actually Jeb's name.

Jeb is the abbreviation of his full name, John Ellis Bush, and his nickname.

After seeing both of them staring at him, Abel said:

“I don’t know if you have ever heard of the Hudson Bay Plaza on Manhattan Island in New York?”

That's right, Abel wants to launch Hudson's Bay Plaza again.

As Abel said to Bloomberg and Robert Morgenthau.

In the financial and capital markets, we have achieved greater success.

Abel no longer has any sense of accomplishment.

But in other industries, such as the media industry and even filmmaking.

Only success in these areas where he has no "talent" can give him a sense of accomplishment and happiness.

Under this premise, what happiness can be greater than building a wonder-level real estate project on Manhattan Island?

He wants to build the tallest building in the United States in the most luxurious property on Manhattan Island, and write Smith in the most eye-catching place of the building!

It is out of this mentality that Abel attaches so much importance to the Hudson Bay City Plaza project.

When George left just now, he accidentally thought of it.

As soon as George left, he thought about trying to talk to Neil and Jeb.

Take a look at the Shrub Family to see if you are interested in this super big project.

"Hudson Bay Plaza?" Jeb frowned.

The governor of Florida, who had not been to New York for several years, did not even remember where the Hudson Bay was.

"What about the Hudson Bay on Manhattan Island?" Neil said next to him.

Neil is currently the chairman of Zapata Offshore Oil Company and the general manager of Bush Overby Oil Company.

These two companies were founded by their fathers.

He and his brother Marvin are currently in charge of the Shrub family's business.

As a businessman, his main base is in Texas and other oil-producing states.

But New York is an international metropolis and the commercial center of the United States.

Neil also goes there often, so he naturally knows it very well.

What's more, Hudson Bay itself is very famous in the United States, and Jeb just didn't think of it for a while.

Abel smiled and nodded to the two bushes: "It's the Hudson Bay on the other side of Manhattan."

"What do you mean?" Neil said a little uncertainly.

"I wonder if you have heard of it." Abel smiled and said:

"A super project on the southern tip of Manhattan Island, about the Hudson Bay City Plaza real estate project."

Jeb looked at Neil, the governor of Florida also knew about the Hudson Bay now.

But Neil, who has lived in Texas and Florida for a long time, doesn't know what's going on in New York.

Neil obviously knows something.

"Are you referring to the project that was shelved by the New York City Government?" Neil said: "The dozen hectares of land next to the Hudson Bay?"

"Yes." Abel smiled. It would be great if Neil knew something.

It would be a waste of time for him to explain it carefully to the two of them.

Neil thought for a moment, then frowned and said:

"If it's this project, it's not easy at all. There are so many aspects involved that no one can really make it a reality."
