Chapter 473 Free Masons Guild(1/3)

Affected by the warm North Atlantic current and westerly winds, London has a temperate maritime climate.

It is characterized by small temperature differences throughout the four seasons, cool summers and warm winters, humid air, rainy and foggy weather.

Like today, it was fine in the morning and noon.

At night, in late spring and early summer in London, it began to drizzle again.

Barbecoa restaurant bright glass.

It was also hit by raindrops and was forced to be covered with a layer of frosted raindrops.

It looks like frosted glass, giving it a hazy feel.

In the warm restaurant.

Abel took back the glass of wine he passed out and looked at Howard Davis and William Butt.

Howard Davis is the Director of the FSA, the most visible figure in the British financial regulatory authorities, and the Chairman of the Royal Bank of Scotland.

William Bute is the first heir to the Marquess of Bute and the current general manager of the British Coal Company.

Don't think that British Coal is just a coal miner. It also operates a large number of coal power plants internally.

It is an important component of the British power system.

In a parallel time and space, we are threatened by environmentalists, and there is very cheap natural gas and oil to buy.

British Coal has gradually closed a large number of coal-fired power plants and converted them into oil and gas power plants.

Later, Mao Xiong fell out with Europe and the United States, and Europe could no longer buy cheap oil and gas.

British Coal had to restart closed coal-fired power plants.

Then something funny happened.

That is, in the process of switching back to coal power generation, the British discovered that there were no technical personnel related to coal power generation in their country...

The decline of old Europe is comprehensive, and it cannot be covered up by Germany's strong economic development.

Among them, Britain, the old hegemon, has fallen fastest.

Things like this happening in the UK will only happen more and more in the future.

In at most 30 to 40 years, Europe will return to its global historical position in the Dark Middle Ages.

Today's game was not initiated by Abel, nor did he invite these two people to participate.

It was William Butt who invited him over.

When Abel arrived, he discovered that Howard Davis was also there.

As for the reason why William Bute was able to invite Abel.

This is because the Bute family is now one of the largest customers of Smith Financial (UK).

From last year to now, the Bute family has managed 1.568 billion pounds of funds in Smith Financial (UK).

As a major client, it is one of the largest LPs in the UK.

When Abel was free, he had no objection to accepting his invitation.

After all, he is also one of the most influential local gangsters in London.

Abel was a little surprised that Howard Davis would show up.

Because FSA just inspected Smith Financial today.

Although nothing was found.

But when the director of the FSA came to see him, it was not good no matter what.

If this is exposed, Abel and Smith Financial will have nothing to do. At worst, they will be quiet for a while.

But Howard Davis is probably in trouble. I don't know if FSA's position can be secured.

You've been polite enough, you've been drunk for three rounds.

Abel now wanted to see what these two people wanted to say to him.

Thinking of this, he was no longer polite.

Abel got straight to the point: "The Bute family is the aristocratic family I admire most in the UK. Because you are like businessmen and are of the same kind as us... Little Mr. Butt, the steak tonight is delicious and in line with my taste. Very good."

Thank you, but I still want to know, why did you come to me?"

William Butt and Howard Davis were startled. The two British people did not expect the Americans to be so direct.

Change to their British island habits.

It is very rare for someone not to be hypocritical for two or three hours before getting down to business.

It’s not often that after having three glasses of wine and chatting for a few words, we get down to business.

"Um...that's it." William Butt looked slightly hesitant.

The fat man looked at the head of the FSA.

The latter nodded slightly to him.

It's as if I got the courage to encourage myself from Howard Davis.

Under the warm light of the Barbecoa restaurant, the first heir to the Marquis of Bute softly asked:

"Mr. Smith, I have a question for you."

"Please tell me."

"We want to know what you think of the royal family."

Hearing the fat man's question, Abel couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He looked at William Butt and wondered what the problem was.

Now that he is in the UK, even if he doesn't think highly of the old and young, he certainly won't belittle the old lady and her family in front of the British.

Even in fact, except for the old lady.

He really doesn't think highly of other Wensha family members.

Of course, this refers to personal ability.

What he looked down upon was the personal abilities of other royal family members except the old lady.

"Needless to say? This is a respectable, noble, and long-established royal family. I also respect Queen Elizabeth very much, just like any British person."

William Butt looked dissatisfied with his formulaic answer.

But before the fat man opened his mouth, Howard Davis next to him interrupted first.

"Mr. Smith, that's not what we want to hear. You are one of the smartest people in the world, and I know you actually understand what we mean."

Abel was silent.

Of course he understands a little bit.

The thing is very simple. Both William Butt and Howard Davis can be regarded as one of the big men in London.

Two big shots couldn't possibly have nothing to do when they invited someone like themselves, just to ask for their opinions on the British royal family, right?

If they come to see me, there must be something wrong.

And Abel also knew that it was most likely related to money.

It’s related to money, and now I’m asking about my views on the British royal family.

The answer is actually not difficult to guess.

Seeing the silent Abel, Howard Davis smiled and motioned to William Butt to let him come.

Then the director of the FSA continued to whisper:

"We checked Mr. Smith's genealogy. On September 16, 1620, your ancestor Andy Smith took the Mayflower from Plymouth. After two months of ocean voyage, he arrived in what is now Massachusetts, USA.

Provincetown.”

"At the beginning, Mr. Ander Smith was in the New World, continuing the work he was good at in England. He was one of the best blacksmiths in Provincetown at that time. The horseshoes he forged were deeply loved by the British immigrants at that time.

Their welcome helped him save his first pot of gold."

"In 1750, Johnson Smith, the grandson of Mr. Ander Smith, took his family south to what is now Miami..."

"Stop it, Mr. Davis." Abel spoke, interrupting the long-talking British man.

These self-proclaimed gentlemen like to talk too much.

"I know better than you about the glory of my family's ancestors and the things recorded in the genealogy. There is no need for you to ask me to review it all over again here."

Abel looked at Howard Davis, "Let's get to the point, sir."

Howard scratched his head and looked at William Boot.

The latter shrugged, and the fat man looked out the window.

Outside the hazy drizzle window, there are many rock security staff.
