Chapter 396 The Powerful Donkey

The United States is surrounded by sea on three sides, namely the east coast, west coast and south coast.

The East Coast is the traditional Great Lakes region, dominated by New York, and was originally the most prosperous and developed region in the United States.

The south coast is Miami and New Orleans.

The West Coast usually refers to the three states of California, Oregon and Washington.

In a broad sense, it also includes Alaska and Hawaii.

The climate here generally belongs to the Mediterranean.

A characteristic of the Mediterranean climate is the habitually bright sunshine in winter.

Like on the Eurasian continent, when winter comes, there are often a lot of people from Northern Europe flocking to the Mediterranean.

It's because living things have always liked warmth and dislike cold. Because in European winter, the Mediterranean is not too cold, they have gone through the winter.

In the United States, when winter comes, many people from the East Coast head to the West Coast and South Coast.

More people went to Hawaii, while some stayed in California.

However, in the winter in California, the temperature occasionally reaches around 30 degrees during the day. However, the sea water here is often very cold in winter, making it unsuitable for going into the sea.

If Americans want to go into the water in the winter and don't want to go abroad, it is naturally better to go to Hawaii, Miami or several US-controlled areas in the Caribbean.

But if you just need beaches and sunshine, California can still satisfy you.

On this sunny day with a gentle breeze from the sea.

The "Jessica Number" is the same model as the "Annie Number" that Abel gave to Anne on Christmas Day.

On the waters of Los Angeles, we gathered with dozens of other yachts of various sizes.

When Jerry Brown was among the yachts.

On the largest flagship, Abel was welcomed aboard with a smile, and when he saw Jessica beside Abel.

One of the largest local snakes in California was stunned for a moment.

But he reacted quickly, and soon he laughed naturally and gave Abel a big hug, "Oh, welcome to the "Mighty Donkey", dear Mr. Smith!!"

"Oh, is this the famous "Mighty Donkey"? She is so beautiful. Good afternoon, Mr. Brown."

Abel responded with a smile.

That's right, Abel didn't just go out to sea with Jessica today.

This time when he went to sea, he accepted invitations from two people.

One is Jerry Brown, and the other is Richard Gephardt, whom he has met several times but is not familiar with.

Abel met Richard Gephardt twice in the White House and once last year at Smith Capital’s year-end cocktail party.

Richard Gephardt is the current minority leader of the House of Representatives.

The current minority party in the House of Representatives is the Donkey Party. In other words, Richard Gephardt is one of the leaders of the Donkey Party.

Jerry Brown is also one of the Donkey Party bosses, but he is just a local prince, the most powerful one.

The two donkey gang bosses invited Abel without saying what the purpose was. They just asked Abel to go out to sea together.

Abel thought about it and agreed.

This is the scene where he went out to sea on a yacht today and came here.

And the real name of this large yacht, surrounded by other yachts, is not "The Mighty Donkey".

The powerful donkey is its nickname, and its name is Danzihao.

It’s just people in the industry who like to call it a powerful donkey.

Corresponding to its nickname, it is the symbol of victory of its old enemy.

It is said that they are tools for senior figures of their respective parties to go out to sea and socialize.

Only by reaching a certain status within his party can he hope to be invited.

Of course, even if you are not an insider of their party, you can still receive such an invitation as long as you have sufficient status or are useful.

For example, this is Abel in front of me.

He is a senior member of the Xiang Party. Although he has never held any position within the party, due to family reasons, he joined the youth branch of the Xiang Party when he was in middle school and paid fees every year.

It's been almost ten years now.

He is even the current leader among the leaders of the Elephant Party and the son-in-law of the Shrub family.

But he was still invited by the Donkey Party to visit the powerful Donkey.

To put it bluntly, for a rich man like him, unless there is a natural conflict of interest, the elephant and the donkey will frantically woo him.

The elephant doesn't do anything there, that's because he is a elephant.

His father has already begun to enter the middle level and move towards the top level.

He is an elephant that is difficult to jump out no matter how hard he jumps. He is a natural elephant who considers himself one of his own.

The donkey should have been hostile to him.

But……

Who knows that he has new media giants like Smith Media under his command, and he is one of the giants on Wall Street.

At the same time, he also holds a large amount of shares in Internet giants.

The Internet itself is the political achievement of the Donkey Party and is the future pillar they envision!

The first two forces have always been the fundamentals that Donkey strives to win over.

Just like the party's basic base has always been energy, military, and heavy industry.

There is also a very important Internet.

Therefore, due to his status as a senior Elephant Party member, he should have been relatively repulsive and hostile to Abel's Donkey Party members.

I have always been very tolerant towards him.

The reason is this.

What's more, this is a time when the elephant is strong and the donkey is weak, but there is still a tacit understanding between the two parties.

Naturally, the donkeys would not have any great hostility towards Abel.

This is why Abel felt free to accept the invitation from Richard Gephardt and Jerry Brown and go to sea to participate.

If this happens more than ten years later, the two factions will begin to separate.

There was no way Abel would accept such an invitation.

The devil knows what the devil will do when the donkey is stunned.

At this time, around 11 o'clock in the morning, we were on the deck of the yacht "Mighty Donkey".

Abel smiled and hugged Richard Gephardt again.

Jerry Brown also politely shook hands with Jessica, who was extremely reserved and looked very nervous.

Even though she has been Abel's woman for almost two years, she has seen more big scenes than in parallel time and space.

But at this moment, on such an occasion, seeing such big figures in such a country, they are all Hollywood... no, they are big figures that the entertainment industry needs to look up to.

If Abel wasn't around at this time, Jessica felt that she would be so useless that her legs would become weak and she would just lie down on the ground.

A person's childhood background and experience determine his/her vision.

She has been the daughter of a small businessman since she was a child. When she grew up, she dreamed of being a star. She suddenly came into contact with such figures from the entertainment industry.

Nervousness is inevitable because they don't know how to face these big figures who appear in big national news.

If it were Ikana, Paris and the others, things would be much better.

They may be nervous, but they have absolutely no problem with how to contact and receive them.

If it were people like Peggy, little Laura and others, they probably wouldn't even be nervous.

Nothing else, except that compared to the former, they had been accustomed to seeing guests of this status at home since they were children.

Abel didn't know Jessica's nervousness. He himself didn't have any nervousness at all.

Maybe it would have happened in the few months after he was reborn.

After he becomes wealthy and undergoes rapid transformation under the stimulation of capital.

Even when his net worth was only a few hundred million dollars, with a time-travel mentality and talent at hand, he already had a God's perspective mentality that was not nervous when meeting anyone.

Of course, at that time, he had that kind of mentality in that situation, and it was somewhat inflated...

"Mr. Gephardt, I think if we want to go to sea at this time, it would be better for us to go to Hawaii."

Abel smiled and hugged Richard Gephardt's shoulders. The old guy was very tall, probably 1.9 meters, a little shorter than him.

"Maybe the Caribbean is also good. Off the coast of California in winter, the beach is not bad, but the sea water is very cold."
