"As long as the new Attorney General takes office, we can initiate a complaint to overturn the verdict of that year."

Abel remained calm, he hugged Jessica who was a little nervous...

The latter only felt that these two days were the two days in which she had met the most important people in her life.

Jessica didn't know Joan Irvine Smith, but she had seen John Smith, who looked shy in front of Abel at this time.

When she was filming "007", there was a scene that needed to be shot in the leaf field.

The venue the crew borrowed at the time belonged to the John Smith family.

Because John Smith's last name is the same as her boyfriend.

At that time, Jessica was curious and asked the director a few more questions.

The director told her that he came to the scene out of curiosity to see the "master" who was being filmed by the crew, that is, John Smith.

Speaking of his actual identity, he is one of the uncrowned underground godfathers in California and even on the West Coast.

There are too many drug addicts and gang members who need John Smith to feed themselves.

He said that this person is one of the biggest bosses in California who should not be messed with.

Because the other person's surname was Smith and the director's warning, this left a deep impression on Jessica.

Now the other party was in front of Abel, as quiet as a worker on the roadside.

Jessica felt nervous and proud at the same time.

Nervous about John Smith's gray identity.

Are you proud that even a gray tycoon like John Smith is not so well-behaved in front of his own man?

John Smith is just a California Smith.

As for Abe Smith, Jessica felt that he was no longer just a Texas Smith, he was an American Smith!

"So much. Dear Mrs. Smith, you have said so much. But I just want to ask one question."

Abel looked at the "Smith couple", he smiled and said:

"I just want to ask, what can I get? Or, what should I do and what can I get?"

Let’s get to the point.

Joan Irvine Smith gathered her strength and continued to be her lobbyist.

"We Californians now all know that in the case of California Pacific Electric, it is Jerry Brown who is working with you, Mr. Smith..."

Suddenly, Joan Irvine Smith was interrupted mid-sentence.

The person who interrupted her was her husband.

"Dear Joan, I don't think I need to say these things to Mr. Smith because it doesn't matter."

John Smith, who had been very quiet for half an hour, smiling and saying nothing the whole time, looked at Abel with a serious smile.

"Mr. Smith, there are two things you have to do. One is to provide 5 billion US dollars in funding. And there is judicial help from the Supreme Court or the White House. You have the resources in this area, and this is what we lack.

.”

John Smith said: "And you will get 50% of the shares of the Irvine Company and the votes of at least 500,000 Californians. San Bernardino County, St. Louis-Obisburg County, and Kern County will all conduct elections this year.

Election. If Mr. Neil Bush is willing, he will get overwhelming votes in these three places..."

"And we will take the lead in the charge. We will also spend 5 billion US dollars, but we will only get 50% of the shares."

"Mr Smith……"

John Smith looked at Abel seriously and said very sincerely:

"Since we are all descendants of blacksmiths, I think Texas Smiths are really suitable to have a close-knit Smith family in California!"

Just like the family name of Little Laura, which means bush.

The surname Smith originally meant blacksmith, blacksmith, craftsman and the like in the English context.

The earliest people named Smith were probably the descendants of blacksmiths.

This is similar to the surnames in Neon by the Well, on the Mountain, and in the River.

They all use the ancestor's job or the place where the ancestor was born as the surname.

After listening to the conditions laid out by John Smith, there are still requirements.

Abel smiled and said to Joan Irvine Smith: "If Mr. Smith says this, it will be easier to understand."

Joan could only smile.

If she could make the decision, she could also directly negotiate terms like this!

But she can't, the former daughter of a wealthy and wealthy family.

The only thing she can rely on now is her husband's strength.

Naturally, the husband can only take the lead.

"50% is too little. $5 billion is too much. The power of the White House and the Supreme Court does not come without a price."

Abel looked at John, "I need better conditions. After all, my relationship with Jerry Brown is not so bad that it cannot be eased."

"But if I cooperate with you."

He looked at the couple.

"That means that in California, Jerry Brown and his friends will be my enemies for a long time. This is not a good experience for me."

Abel seemed to be talking to himself, or adding pressure to the Smiths.

"If I inform Mr. Brown of your visit today, maybe California Pacific Electric's problem will be solved."

"You can't do this!" Joan Irvine Smith screamed.

Her husband could keep his temper, but she could not.

If Abel, a powerful dragon, really did this.

Then it might be really difficult for her to take back the Irvine Company in her lifetime.

If I can't get the Irvine Company back, let's not talk about the trivial matter of avenging the family.

Even if this is possible, it will definitely make it difficult for her to maintain her status in the California Smith family, and she may even be expelled.

After all, the California Smith family has invested in her for more than 20 years for the Irvine Company.

In the end, if you don't get any benefits at all.

She really couldn't believe her relationship with John Smith.

"I'm just talking about a possibility." Abel smiled.

"Okay." John Smith said:

"Next, Mr. Smith, I will let you see our sincerity. I hope that after you see our sincerity, you can consider cooperating with us. Believe me, that will not be the wrong choice."

Abel raised his eyebrows: "I'm looking forward to it..."

"excuse me."

John Smith stood up directly and took hold of Joan Irvine Smith who was hesitant to speak.

Take his wife away directly.

Abel asked David Jones to see him off, and only Edward, Jessica and him were left in the living room.

Jessica didn't dare to disturb Abel, he looked deep in thought.

In fact, this is indeed the case.

At this time, Abel was thinking about the feasibility of cooperation with John Smith.

As the largest economy and population state in the United States, California's situation is the most complex among the fifty largest states in the United States.

In addition, it has only been established for a short period of time, and it is also very young among the fifty states.

In fact, there are no old American states like Texas and Massachusetts, the kind of old wealthy families that have been inherited for more than a hundred years.

Including the California consortium, the local wealthy families in California are relatively young compared to the east coast and south coast, and their number is also larger.

The California consortium is not like the Texas consortium, which has absolutely dominant power in the local area.

On the contrary, the California consortium is just one of the local gangsters in California.

The relationship between Jerry Brown and his gang and the California consortium is more of cooperation than subordination.

As for John Smith, the boss of the special plantation economy, he and his large group of people are also one of the local gangsters in California.

In terms of local influence in California, it is not inferior to the California consortium, the Brown family, etc.

Let's put it this way, the status of the princes in the other 49 states in the United States has been established.

They are two or three overlords who unite or cooperate, and are surrounded by more than a dozen other families to control the entire state.

Here in California, there is a sense of competition for hegemony in the Spring and Autumn Period.
