  Chapter 386 The fuse that controls shoppingmode fate

  After taking a dip in the swimming pool, Abel got up satisfied.

  In the sunny dining room of the villa, Abel began to eat breakfast.

   While eating breakfast, take a look at today’s newspaper.

  【…Affected by a series of macroeconomic data, gold futures on the New York Mercantile Exchange showed a volatile trend. 】

  【…The Department of Labor announced this morning that the unemployment rate reached 7.2% in December last year, a record high since 1995】

  【…In 2001, 2.6 million people lost their jobs, the highest number since 1945. 】

  【…a recession will reduce demand for goods and dampen inflation. Suppressed by the news, gold futures dropped to $298.5 an ounce in early trading. 】

  Abel, who was wearing a white T-shirt and beach shorts, sipped a cup of iced coffee and read the recent economic data and news in various aspects of the United States presented in the newspaper.

   After finishing his iced coffee, he put down the newspaper and looked up through the etched window lattice in the glass sunshine restaurant.

  He saw Kate, who was wearing a white wide-fitting dress, had gotten up and was lying under a sun umbrella next to the outdoor swimming pool, enjoying a leisurely time.

Snapped-

  Abel snapped his fingers, and the housekeeper came up with the maids.

  Take away the newspaper and his breakfast scraps, coffee cups, etc., and clean up.

   As soon as the housekeeper and maid exited, Alan Baker, two other members of the Smith Intelligence Group, and David Jones, the Smith family butler, appeared.

   “Good morning everyone.”

  Abel greeted them with a smile.

  The subordinates also responded quickly, and then started to work.

  Mainly, Allen was reporting, reading some Smith think tanks, sorting out and revising various business intelligence, economic strategies, and some suggestions for various companies under Abel.

   This is also most of the time, Abel’s work every morning – the breakfast meeting.

   Usually he will go out after dealing with these things.

  When he goes out, he usually follows the itinerary made by the Smith Intelligence Group.

  Of course, the boss has the biggest opinion.

   No matter how good the itinerary listed by Smith Thinking Group is, or no matter how important it is.

   None of it mattered as much as Abel’s opinion, or thought.

  Abel will often modify the itinerary suddenly, and do things outside the itinerary according to his preferences and ideas.

  If this happens, the Smith Intelligence Group can only accommodate their boss.

  Designed a new itinerary and suggestions for Abel in a very short time with the fastest speed.

   That’s what the Smith Brainstorm does.

   It is also the main reason why this consulting company has more and more people and its scale is getting bigger and bigger.

   Only the more elites you collect, the more hands you have.

  Abel’s “cabinet, military aircraft department, attendant room” can meet Abel’s needs from work to entertainment hobbies, from entertainment hobbies to family life.

  At the desk.

  Abel squinted his eyes slightly under the sun, and next to him was Alan who was reading business intelligence.

   “In the face of the large-scale economic stimulus plan that will be launched by the leader of the bush, the Congressional Budget Office expects that the budget deficit will reach 400 billion U.S. dollars in the current fiscal quarter ending March 30.”

   “The market is worried that the Federal Reserve may be forced to “pay the bill” for the huge fiscal deficit that came so early. The US dollar is facing huge depreciation pressure. The US dollar exchange rate rose sharply on the 7th, which played a supporting role in the trend of gold futures.”

“JP Morgan Chase Bank also sharply raised its forecast for international gold prices, believing that as the dollar continues to weaken, gold prices will rise further. In the first quarter of this year, it is expected to rise to $330 an ounce, higher than its previous forecast of $315. Dollar…”

“For a long time, the relationship between the price of gold and the exchange rate of the US dollar has basically maintained an inverse relationship. We believe that the exchange rate of the US dollar against the currencies of developed economies will continue to decline, and the exchange rate against the currencies of emerging economies will generally decline in the second half of this year. So some investors are bound to turn to yellow…”

  Although Allen was reading information, he was always paying attention to the boss’s expression.

  When I saw a slight change in the boss’s expression.

  He stopped immediately, and sure enough, Allen heard Abel say:

   “It’s more than $330. By the end of this year, it will definitely break through $500.”

   “Notify David and Jade to let New York and London start buying international spot gold, and we will be long.”

  Another intellectual group member next to Allen immediately nodded, and at the same time took a note to write down the request.

   Just then, Abel’s personal phone on the table rang.

  He picked it up and saw that it was a call from the contact “George”.

  Abel answered immediately, and chatted with the other party with a smile.

   A few minutes later, Allen and the others saw Abel, put down his phone with a smile, and looked very happy.

  Then the boss says to them, “Good job, it’s coming. Oh, the American economy will be great again—until another financial crisis comes!”

  The reason why Abel was in such a good mood was because of the call from the White House just now.

  George told Abel one thing through some secret signals agreed by the two parties not long ago.

  He informed Abel that the Federal Reserve, referring to the practice of the Neon Central Bank, will soon announce its use in the United States, a new economic policy.

   This policy is called “adaptive policy” and has a proprietary English word.

  The meaning of the word seems ambiguous, but in later generations, the “adaptive policy” promoted by the Fed this year under George’s tenure will be regarded as the earliest attempt at quantitative easing in American history.

  Quantitative easing mainly refers to the intervention method in which the central bank of a country, after implementing zero or near-zero interest rates, purchases medium- and long-term bonds such as treasury bonds to increase the supply of base money and inject a large amount of liquidity into the market.

  It is mainly used to encourage spending and borrowing, and it is also simplified as indirect printing of banknotes.

   Compared with the simple and crude printing press, this method is gentler, but the essence is the same.

   This is a powerful medicine for a country’s economy.

   Simply put, in the future, a large amount of dollars will be injected into the global capital market at a slower rate.

  Water-filled dollars overflowing the dam of the United States will flood the whole world, and global inflation will appear as a result.

  However, the Federal Reserve has just tried, and in the early days it was a small splash of tens of billions of dollars. When you have tasted the sweetness and just encountered a financial crisis, then you will release water crazily.

   But now, the upcoming adaptive measures also indicate that the era of the great real estate boom in the United States that appeared under George George is coming.

   Most of the waves of water released by the Federal Reserve have flowed to US real estate.

  Flooding, the real estate in the United States will begin to flourish.

   Does it look familiar?

   That’s right, this trick of a certain country was copied from the United States.

   But later this country discovered that this trick is very useful in the United States. In your own country, the effect is actually better.

  Compared with Americans, people in this country who believe in falling leaves return to their roots, value houses more.

  After that, because the effect of drinking doves to quench thirst was really strong in the early stage, the economy took off after using it, and finally formed a path dependence.

  Depending on relying on, it becomes the latter.

  Under quantitative easing, the U.S. dollar will fall, housing prices will rise, gold will rise, and one more thing will also rise.

   That’s the junk bonds, and they’re starting to have value too.

   Lehman Brothers, one of the five major investment banks, relied on specializing in junk bonds. In a few years, it crushed several other investment banks in terms of performance and profitability, and became the leader of investment banks.

   Then came the formation of the subprime mortgage crisis. In addition to the Great Depression that preceded World War II, the second most terrifying financial crisis appeared in history. Alas, the giant Lehman collapsed.

  And the good strategy that Abel said at this time appeared.

   It means that the Federal Reserve has finally started to try to carry out quantitative easing.

   First of all, he was good at futures, and he had been laying the groundwork in the real estate market since the year before last.

  The global futures fluctuations brought about by quantitative easing, for the gifted Abe, are the crazy emergence of new withdrawal opportunities.

  Secondly, the emergence of this “adaptive policy” is sounding the clarion call of the subprime mortgage crisis.

  The subprime mortgage crisis a few years later has always been considered by Abel as a necessary condition for him to achieve all his ultimate goals.

  He wants the subprime mortgage crisis to come sooner than anyone else.

   Now that the horn finally sounded, Abel was naturally happy when he found out.

   The boss who looked very excited, Allen and the others didn’t know the reason, but they all followed Abel’s instructions and started long gold and short dollars.

  This concludes the breakfast meeting.

  Going to Los Angeles yesterday, Abel, who played for a day and a night, is also busy with business on the west coast.

  For him, the most important thing here is the first one related to little Laura.

   To be precise, it is related to her father Neil Bush.

   Three hours later, at noon.

  Abel has appeared in San Francisco, which is more than 400 miles away from Los Angeles.

   Outside the helipad of the helicopter, Neil and some staff were already waiting for him in a safe area.

  After getting off the helicopter, Abel walked towards the old man, and the two smiled and hugged each other.

   “You shouldn’t have lunch yet, let’s go to lunch first. Talk while eating.” Neil said softly after letting go of Abel.

  Abel nodded, and the two walked to the villa where Neil lived.

  Lunch is simple, and the main focus is on work.

  Neil’s job is to coordinate the relationship between Pacific Energy, as well as the workers of California Pacific Electric, and the trade union.

  This job is not important if it is important, or it is not important, but sometimes it is very important.

  As I said before, workers and laborers from various industries in various regions of the United States often connect together every few years to take to the streets and threaten employers to increase wages and benefits.

  This cycle is generally 3 to 5 years.

  Once the cycle is about to hit, Neil’s job becomes very difficult.

   At this time, this work is very important.

  Other times, the job is very simple. The laborers who have been satisfied or compromised, as well as the labor aristocrats in the AFL, will not make trouble again in a short time.

   At this time, this job is not so important.

  Fortunately, the last time energy workers took to the streets in California, it was done at the end of the previous year.

   At least for the next two years, they will not cause trouble. When a new cycle enters later, that will be a later matter.

   “Things are not so optimistic.” While cutting the steak, Neil looked at Abel and said, “The old donkey obviously has more advantages here. It is difficult for me to do things here.”

  Abel looked at him with a smile, “What do you think? What should be done.”

  Neil took a deep look at his son-in-law, and looked at Abel’s smiling expression.

  Neil suddenly said: “Actually, you have thought about it a long time ago, haven’t you?”

  Abel continued to smile without changing his face: “I don’t understand what you mean.”

   “You deliberately mentioned Rick Perry many times in front of me. You asked me to challenge him, and something like that, you were actually implying me, right?”

  Neil seems to be talking to himself, and he seems to be questioning Abel:

   “Rick Perry can betray his hometown people for the sake of his future and life. From an old donkey to an elephant party. You kept mentioning him at that time, probably because of this reason?”

   “So?” Abel took a piece of steak with a fork, put it in his mouth and chewed a few mouthfuls before he said:

“Do you think Rick Perry is successful? Do you want to be Rick Perry, or do better than him? Dear Neal, know your starting point, than Rick Perry can I don’t know how much better!”

   “Sure enough.” Neil’s tone became certain, “You had this idea at the time!”

  Abel shrugged, neither acknowledging nor denying.

   But the way he is, lets Neal know that’s what he means.

  Neil actually guessed right.

  At the beginning, Abel suggested to his father-in-law to leave Texas and come to California to develop.

  The main reason is to let Neil learn from Rick Perry and follow the path that the current governor of Texas has walked!

   It’s just that Rick Perry is a donkey. Because Texas, where he lives, is the private land of the Xiang Party.

  And what Neil has to do is throw the donkey behind the elephant.

  As an important member of a senior elephant party boss family, he betrayed the elephant party and joined the donkey party in California!

  Actually, after Neil chose to come to California, Abel already had this idea and plan.

  According to Abel’s plan, Abel prepared to walk on three legs.

  Abel’s father Alexander, his father-in-law Neil, and another father-in-law Ted Lerner.

  If everything goes well, it is naturally best for Alexander to succeed.

  If Alexander can’t get on stage, then Neil will get on.

  Neil is dead, at that time you can start thinking about pushing Ikana’s father.

  His plan started very early, and it looks grand and safe.

  Already walking on three legs, how could it be unstable.

   But this plan has a fatal loophole.

  The loophole is that his father and his two fathers-in-law are all taking the same route.

  But with neoliberalism, it has successfully brainwashed people in the West.

  The world is beginning to lean towards the “Left” defined by Europe and the United States.

  In this state, donkeys are more popular in the future.

  This is also the reason why the future in the United States will be made miserable by donkeys.

   In other words, donkeys will overwhelm elephants in the future.

  The fatal loophole in Abel’s plan is that there is no one trustworthy on the donkey’s side.

  So it started with Neil wanting to come to California to develop.

  Abel wanted to let his father-in-law learn from Rick Perry.

  That is to throw Neil’s elephant into a donkey.

   “betrayed” the bush family and Texas, and joined the donkey party on the California side.

  If Neil is willing and can smoothly integrate into the donkey.

  Abel’s three-legged plan was considered complete.

   At that time, it will be an elephant and a donkey.

  Ikana’s father is stuck in the middle, as a fuse, seeing which side has an advantage at the time, then jump to which side.

   When it is really necessary, MAGA (Make America Great Again) is not impossible to become MAMF (Make America Freer).

   Don’t think this is not okay. In fact, in the parallel time and space, Ikana’s father jumped left and right many times.

  For more than ten years, he has been a fool among multiple parties such as donkey, elephant, and tea.

  It’s just a matter of time and shoppingmode fate, just when Ikana’s father jumped to the elephant again.

  The rednecks are persecuted by LGBTTTQQIAAP+ bewildered people all the year round.

   Finally, a MAGA was forced out.

  Papa Ikana judged the situation and jumped out to take over the wave of shoppingmode fate of MAGA.

   Or MAGA felt that he was what they wanted, so it fell on his head.

   Due to the occasion, Ikana’s father has also achieved the reputation of King Maga.

   But in fact, if it was at that time, the red neck would oppress LGBTTTQQIAAP+ instead.

  Madden When people resist fiercely, it is never impossible for a MAMF to appear.

  The father Ikana, who has been exceptional in all aspects since he was young, and has a good relationship with MJ and other old blacks, can also carry this wave of shoppingmode fate.

  Anyway, as long as it works well, as a fuse, Ikana’s father is very qualified.

  A Dong, since he can understand red necks, why can’t he understand demons?

  Abel’s ideal three-legged plan is a donkey and an elephant, a fuse that can jump left and right.

   And he himself is the dark hands of shoppingmode fate hiding behind the scenes.

  Of course, all of these are assumptions made in the most ideal state.

  If everything goes well and can be as he thought.

  He wants it to be 8X3.

  One person 8 years, three people 24 years.

  Have dominated the world’s largest country for 24 years, that means pigs can rule everything.

   This is naturally the most difficult thing, and there is a high probability that it cannot be done.

   Neil, who has been in California for half a year, has worked here for half a year.

   Finally discovered this—his son-in-law was hinting that he wanted to “betray” the family.

  This is where Abel questioned Abel when he came over today.

“Ok.”

   Facing the silent Abel, Neil closed his eyes, and let them go after a while:

   “So what exactly are you going to do? Rick Perry wasn’t doing very well at the time. I don’t think I’d be able to be exactly like him if I wanted to pass him in California.”

   Seeing what the old man said, Abel laughed directly.

   “Ha…very smart decision. Neil, we can all benefit from this. Whether it’s little Laura or me, or the bush family.”

  Abel still remembers that before he was reborn, the then mayor of New York argued with his shoppingmode brother about “Mom loves me more” in front of the TV media.

  The mayor of New York can play this way, and Abel thinks Neil can do the same.

  Abel told Neil what he thought.

   “Er…” Neil hesitated for a moment, “I want to do this. It requires my father’s consent and George’s consent.”

Abel shrugged, “I don’t care about that. I’m afraid that George will scold me. You can only talk to Herbert and George about this matter. Of course, dear Neil. If you think my idea is very bad, Then you can do as you want. I will help you as well.”

“But if it’s just like that, I believe your contribution and harvest will be very disproportionate. We are all outsiders anyway. Old elephants discriminate against outsiders more, but donkey audiences welcome outsiders more By.”

   “The right to choose is in your hands, my respected father-in-law.”
