Chapter 331 The largest farm in the United States

Abel stayed in this suburban mansion called "Hydra Manor" that day.

Hydra Manor is located on the banks of the Colorado River in Austin, with beautiful surroundings and charming scenery.

This manor has a breathtaking large area and a unique location, providing its owner with the most enviable views in Austin.

The manor is surrounded by lush trees; the graceful river scenery in front of the house is romantic and charming, allowing the owner here to enjoy the best of life.

The backyard has a beautiful large pool and fountain, which is full of life.

The interior decoration is classic, noble, novel and unique, with gorgeous mahogany floors, walls decorated with oil paintings, arched windows, suspended chandeliers...the attention to detail makes this villa full of a noble-looking temperament.

After dinner.

Abel and his grandfather Alex were walking on the north side, not far from the Colorado River.

Downtown Austin can be vaguely seen in the distance, in the bustling lighted garden lawn.

"Before you came, I had already agreed on the details with Herbert."

Alex looked at the Colorado River under the moonlit sky, and the old man said softly:

"The time is set to be after Christmas, the same as when you first met last year. Herbert originally wanted to hold your engagement reception at the Bush Manor, but I think this is not good, so I discussed it with Herbert."

"He is very reasonable. He thinks my suggestion is good and agrees with my idea."

Alex looked at his grandson next to him. He was already as tall as himself.

"On the day after Christmas this year, we will hold your engagement ceremony here or at Bush Manor or Smith Manor."

"We will invite some Bush relatives, as well as our Smith relatives."

"Other people who have nothing to do with it will not be invited to come."

After hearing these words from his grandfather, Abel couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Although he has confirmed that he will marry little Laura, he does not want to make the engagement ceremony seem like he is announcing it to the world.

If it is too grand, the whole United States and the whole country will know about it.

Then if he wants to steal sex in the future, he will have to bear the huge cost of public opinion.

This is what Abel doesn't want to see.

Apparently both Alex and Herbert took this into consideration.

Abel said softly to his grandfather: "Thank you, Grandpa"

"I should be the one thanking you." Alex smiled.

"Without your presence, Herbert would not have valued me so much, and even his son's achievements have surpassed mine. Without you, Smith is nothing in front of the bush."

"You need to know."

Alex looked at his grandson seriously: "Your existence and your achievements are the real reasons why Bush chose to do this."

Abel naturally understood this.

He knew that if it weren't for him, even Alex and Alexander, father and son, would still be the commander-in-chief.

It is impossible for me to get as much tolerance as the other side of the bush.

The most important reason why Shrub can be so tolerant to him is himself.

"I know." Abel pretended to be relaxed and smiled at his grandfather:

"Your grandson is the richest man in the world. Your grandson is as rich as the country and deserves everyone's attention."

Alex smiled.

The old man changed the topic to another matter.

"I heard what Herbert and Alexander said. Do you want people from your security company to participate in the fighting in Afghanistan?"

"Um."

"Do you still want a company under your name to appear on the military's procurement list?"

"Um."

"Herbert has already told me. George will help, but not too much. There are too many people joining this time. Those guys pushed George up just to give him a good meal."

"I understand."

Abel knew the biggest backer behind the Bush family.

In fact, it was the Texas consortium headed by Davis Brown and those people.

Specifically, it is part of the military-industrial complex.

Otherwise, it would not have been Herbert who launched the Battle of the Gulf in 1991, and his son who launched another battle ten years later.

Although most of the U.S. commanders took office, the United States launched wars abroad.

But in modern times, there is no doubt that the battle launched by the father and son is the largest and most widespread.

The reason for this is because behind the father and son, there are a lot of cannibals.

The United States' foreign wars can bring them the greatest benefits.

As a Texan, Alex knows this well.

He had no objection to his grandson joining in, but he reminded him to be careful.

They were just angry at best because their grandson didn't join them.

But if the grandson robs their food and robs too much.

Then they are not just angry, but they are so-called destroying people's wealth like killing their parents.

Alex has expressed so carefully many times because of this.

The grandfather and grandson chatted for a long time, and later Herbert joined in.

Later, Arya and Barbara also came here to admire the moon.

They didn't disperse until very late.

The next day, Abel did not leave the Shrub family's Hydra Manor.

In a small living room here, he met an executive from Sotheby's auction house.

This man's name is Jason Jones, president of Sotheby's Auction Group America.

"Good afternoon, Mr. Jones."

In the small conference hall, Abel greeted each other.

Jason Jones immediately responded: "Hello, Mr. Smith."

Sotheby's is a world-renowned auction house founded in London, England.

It is famous for its auctions of art and cultural relics, but also includes more than 70 other categories.

The auction house's auction centers are located in New York, USA and London, UK. Its offices are located in 90 cities in 40 countries. Auctions are held regularly in more than 10 locations around the world every year.

Jason Jones is the general manager of Sotheby's in the United States.

After a brief exchange of greetings, Abel did not talk too much to this person, he directly stated his purpose.

"Mr. Jones, I believe you already know the reason why you are invited here."

Of course, Jason Jones knew that being here meant that Smith Group had been in contact with Sotheby’s many times.

After both parties have the intention to cooperate, the representative Jason Jones will be sent over.

In the famous Hydra Manor of the Shrub family, I met Abel Smith, the world's richest man.

Jason Jones is not surprised at all.

Many people know about the marriage between the Smith family and the Bush family.

"Understood, I understand." Jason Jones said quickly.

Abel nodded with satisfaction: "Then please tell the Wagner family 50 million US dollars. As long as they agree, then they no longer need to go to the auction to sell their ancestral property."

"Please rest assured, Mr. Smith." Jason Jones also said to Abel: "We will negotiate with Mr. Wagner. But whether they can agree or not depends on what they want."

"Then I'll trouble you."

Jason Jones left soon after.

Abel took advantage of the situation and took over a piece of farm information handed over by Alan Baker, the leader of the Smith Intelligence Group.

This is a profile of a large fenced farm called "Wagner Farm".

It contains data on the various resource points of the Wagner Farm from its peak to its present day.

As for why Abel suddenly became concerned about the farm.

That was his plan to add another title to himself in the name of providing supplies for the war in Afghanistan.

This title is called - Agricultural Capitalist.
