Chapter 63: My dad is so dick?(1/2)
Ovitz Yacht,
Observation deck on the aft deck.
Facing Abel's "politeness", Bloomberg didn't seem polite at all.
When Abel said that he would do his best to help him in next year's election.
Mr. Bloomberg, immediately showed Abel what capitalist speed is.
He said directly: "I really have something going on now, and I want your help, Abel."
When he said this, Abel breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the two favors given by Bloomberg were relatively light.
Whether it is CAA shares or the identity of the investigating party.
These two things,
For Abel,
In fact, it's just something that takes a little more time and a little more trouble but can be figured out.
It's hardly a big favor.
But it's still a favor.
Now Bloomberg doesn't want to spend the night in favor, and Abel is happy to do so.
Abel smiled and said, "Please tell me."
He was also very curious about this guy giving him two favors like this.
Want to get something from yourself.
"Wayne LaPierre."
Bloomberg said directly: "I hope, Abel, you can help me introduce Wayne LaPierre. I would like to invite him to dinner."
"Wayne LaPierre?" Abel read the name and asked with some uncertainty:
"Is this name the Wayne from the NRA Association?"
Bloomberg smiled and said: "Yes, that is Mr. Wayne LaPierre."
Abel frowned.
He knew Wayne LaPierre.
This is the nra, the CEO and executive vice president of the National Rifle Association.
As I said before,
The nra association has a board of directors with 75 members.
These NRA directors are elected every three years.
Then among these seventy-five people, one person will be elected as the chairman of the nra association.
The general term of the chairman is one year.
There is also an Executive Vice Chairman who is not a member of the Board of Directors.
But appointed by the Board of Directors to assume the role of CEO.
The current person holding this position is Wayne LaPierre.
Abel's father, Alex Smith, has served as an NRA director for more than ten years.
He is a very senior nra member.
Therefore, Abel is relatively familiar with the NRA association's system and its famous members.
He once served as the chairman of the association twice and even visited his home as a guest.
Wayne LaPierre also visited his home.
Thinking of this, Abel already understood Bloomberg's intention.
There is a high probability that this guy has found out the close connection between his father and the NRA.
Now in 2000, the NRA is not an organization that will only support the Elephant Party, like an exclusive red-neck organization.
For most of the time since its emergence, the NRA target party and the donkey party have had vacillating attitudes.
It chose to place its eggs in two cages.
The nra who wholeheartedly supported the Elephant Party was after Obama let all kinds of neoliberal demons out of their cages.
nra who just changed.
At this time, the NRA Association was very attractive to both the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party.
Many of its 5 million members are social elites.
Its attitude can even greatly affect elections in most parts of the United States.
Bloomberg wants to be mayor of New York.
He even quit the Donkey Party for this reason and joined the Elephant Party, which has had few powerful figures in the New York area in recent years.
This shows that this person is very realistic.
All his ideas and ideas are empty, he only wants that throne.
So, for this throne, in order to increase the probability of him ascending this throne.
Establish a relationship with the NRA management and obtain help from the New York area of the NRA Association.
This is also understandable.
"I don't have contact information for Wayne LaPierre."
After thinking for a while, Abel said: "But my father should have it.
Maybe I could call him and get LaPierre's contact information from him.
But I can't guarantee whether LaPierre is willing to have dinner with you."
This time, Abel owes Bloomberg two favors.
But these are just two small favors.
Of course, small favors can only be repaid with small favors.
Wayne LaPierre is also a figure, and Abel doesn't know his father's relationship with him.
He couldn't guarantee that Alexander would be able to introduce Wayne LaPierre to Bloomberg.
So it is safer for him to speak.
Just looking for contact information does not do much to help Bloomberg.
But small favors should be repaid with small favors.
He would not foolishly guarantee that he would introduce Wayne LaPierre to Bloomberg.
Bloomberg was a little disappointed after hearing what Abel said.
Bloomberg himself had already found Wayne LaPierre’s contact information.
He could even find out the information about Abel's father very clearly, and even knew about the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation into Abel.
Wayne LaPierre's contact information, how could he not have it.
They approached Abel in a roundabout way just because they wanted to use Alexander Smith's connections through Abel.
I just didn't expect that this kid wouldn't take the bait, even though he acted so straightforwardly just now.
What a cunning boy.
He finally got serious and took the young man in front of him seriously.
"Okay. I'll trouble you then.
But I hope that before that, your father can call Mr. LaPierre."
"I owe you a favor," Bloomberg finally said.
After hearing his words, Abel was a little confused now.
My father looked silly and was obviously very rich, but his daily behavior was no different from that of many red-necked farmers.
A guy who has more than 3 tons of gold deposits but is reluctant to buy an F350 worth 100,000 US dollars.
In the nra association, is it so influential?
To be honest, Abel really doesn't know.
The Alexanders didn't tell him much about the NRA, and he didn't care about these things before.
Now that I think about it, I can be friends with the two presidents of the NRA Association.
Also friends with Wayne LaPierre.
To be continued...
