For the East Coast and Southwest regions of the United States.

The West Coast of the United States is a backward region.

It only really developed in the mid-to-late twentieth century. It was only towards the end of this century that it became one of the new economic centers of the United States.

At the beginning of the last century, this area was considered the wild land of America.

Even Hollywood was initially pursued by East Coast film producers to escape Edison's patent pursuit.

It was deliberately rushed to a remote place to develop, and then it became a movie gathering place.

What developed earlier here in California was not Los Angeles, but San Francisco.

Compared with Los Angeles, San Francisco's climate, geographical conditions, etc. are even better.

West Coast local time, at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Abel's Smith Boeing 747 lands at San Francisco International Airport.

Shortly after the roar of the engine turned off, Neil Bush and Abel got off the plane.

Abel's father-in-law came to San Francisco last month.

Upon his arrival, he was appointed executive director of Pacific Energy Company.

The responsible work direction is to communicate with the more than 21,000 workers of Pacific Energy Company.

His other identity is the executive director of California Pacific Electric.

The task in this company, like Pacific Energy, is to communicate with workers.

The difference is that California Pacific Electric has more workers, about 26,500.

In addition, he has also obtained the status of independent director of General Electric, independent director of Microsoft, and independent director of Google.

Executive directors and independent directors are generally members of the company's board of directors.

The difference between the two is that executive directors often hold senior positions in the company.

Independent directors, on the other hand, are generally not directly responsible for company affairs, and at most they only have a supervisory role.

In other words, independent directors are often an honorary position and a supervisory position.

The executive director is the person on the board of directors who truly has real power.

"Are you sure you really want to go on my date tonight?"

On the VIP lane leaving the airport.

Neil Bush confirmed to his son-in-law again.

Abel smiled and nodded:

"We've already agreed, haven't we? And I also want to meet these so-called "worker aristocrats". You know, I will have to deal with them sooner or later."

"That's true." Neil Bush nodded.

As Executive Director of Pacific Energy, and California Pacific Electric.

Tonight, Neil Bush met with the head of the San Francisco AFL-CIO.

A workers' union leader named Moss Coso.

This is also Neil Bush's main work here in recent times.

Moss Corso is a typical "guild aristocrat".

His grandfather, Cabuda Corso, was a famous labor union activist in California in the 1960s.

His father, Daliso Corso, is the current president of the California AFL-CIO.

Moss Corso, 41, himself is the head of the AFL-CIO in the San Francisco area.

As for the AFL-CIO.

Its full name is the American Federation of Labor-Confederation of Industrial Trades.

It is the oldest guild organization in the United States and the largest guild organization, consisting of 68 guilds in different industries.

Its influence even exceeds that of the National Rifle Association.

The Rifle Association only has about 5 million members.

The AFL-CIO's figure is 13 million.

It can also be understood that the AFL-CIO is an enhanced version of the National Rifle Association.

The difference is that the AFL-CIO has its own special characteristics, and it is difficult for the rich and powerful to mix in, otherwise it would be too nonsense.

Unlike the National Rifle Association, the rich and powerful can easily get in and influence it.

But is the AFL-CIO fair? Are they really dedicated to the welfare of workers?

Perhaps this was indeed the case when it first came into being, when it still had progressive significance.

However, it has experienced more than 70 years of ups and downs.

It has long since become a semi-bureaucratic monopoly that cannot be eliminated.

There is no fundamental difference from those interest groups that have been lobbying on Capitol Hill for many years.

Those guild leaders who have degenerated into bureaucracies have long since separated themselves from the general guild members themselves and become "worker aristocrats".

For them, the interests of ordinary workers are no longer the top priority.

The interests of the guild as an organization are ranked first.

And the "nobles" can also gain economic and political power from it.

The AFL-CIO, which has 68 jointly affiliated trade unions, is such an existence.

Moss Corso and his family are part of the nobles who occupy the top of this existence.

Neil Bush didn't come to California to do business and make money.

The real purpose of his coming here is to gain power.

His main task here naturally became the work of contacting such people.

This was the advice given to Neil Bush by Abel's Smith Think Tank and their own think tank on the Bush family's side.

Following this suggested route, someone had already successfully walked it more than thirty years ago.

This man's name is John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

He is the youngest commander-in-chief in the history of the United States, and a man with great imagination.

When he was young, he was mainly responsible for the family's internal business and cooperating with union organizations such as the AFL-CIO.

During his rise to power, organizations such as the AFL-CIO provided tremendous support.

After he took office, he himself gave back a lot to these organizations. It can be said that he is the most friendly leader to the guilds in the entire history of the United States.

With this successful example in front of him, Neil Bush can naturally follow this path.

He has been here for a month, and Neil Shrub's own abilities are not weak, and he has a high starting platform.

With his status as a director of so many super large groups, it was easy for him to hook up with these American labor aristocrats.

For example, Moss Corso became a good "friend" with him.

As soon as he returned from Texas, Moss Corso invited him to meet and have dinner with him.

As for Abel's initiative to go, Neil knew that this was a good son-in-law who wanted to stand up for himself.

The workers' aristocracy are not workers. They are also rich. Or should we call them workers' rich?

Since he is a rich man, the richest man in the world is standing behind him. These workers and rich people will definitely be more friendly to him.

The two sons-in-law and son-in-law were also there that night.

Met Moss Coso at a fancy restaurant in San Francisco.

It was different from the previous times Neil met Moss Coso.

During this meeting, Neil was surprised to see Moss's father, Daliso Corso, director of the California AFL-CIO, among them.

This made Neil subconsciously look at Abel who was smiling next to him.

He knew that Daliso Corso would appear, and it was most likely related to his good son-in-law.

"Hi! Good evening, my friend." Neil called to Moss enthusiastically.

Moss also stood up from his seat, walked outside with a smile, and came over to hug Neil.

"My friend, it's so good to see you again."

Behind Neil, Abel smiled slightly.

Behind Moss, his old father also had a friendly smile.

If there is a reporter or something at this time, he can take a picture of this scene and then publish the photos a few years later when Neil takes office in California.

As long as there is a backend, I can withstand it and not be revoked, commit suicide in a car accident, or commit suicide with eight bullets in the back.
