Chapter 62

Chapter 62 Is my father that stupid?

Ovitz Cruise,

On the observation deck on the aft deck.

Faced with Abel's "politeness", Bloomberg was not polite at all.

When Abel said he would try his best to help him in the general election next year.

Mr. Bloomberg, show Abel right away what capitalist speed is. He said frankly: "Now I really have something to do, I want Abel to help you."

He said this, but Abel felt relieved.

Even if the two favors Bloomberg offered were relatively light.

Whether it is the actions of the CAA or the identity of the investigator.

These two things,

Dear Abel,

Actually, it just takes a little longer and is a little inconvenient but understandable.

That's not a big favor. But it's still human.

Now Bloomberg doesn't want to spend the night with the favor, and Abel is happy to do it.

Abel smiled and said, "Please tell me."

I'm also very curious, this guy gave me two favors.

What you want for yourself.

"Wayne LaPierre."

Bloomberg said bluntly: "I hope Abel, you can help me introduce Wayne LaPierre." I want to invite him to dinner.

"Wayne LaPierre? » Abel read the name and asked with uncertainty:

"Is this Wayne from the NRA?"

Bloomberg smiled and said: "Yes, Mr. Wayne LaPierre."

Abel frowned.

He knows Wayne LaPierre.

This is the NRA, CEO and Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association.

As I said before,

The NRA has a 75-member board of directors.

These NRA directors are elected every three years. Then, out of seventy-five people, one person will be elected president of the NRA Association.

The general term of office of the president is one year.

There is also an executive vice president who is not a board member.

But was appointed by the Council to take on the role of general director.

The incumbent of this position is Wayne LaPierre. Abel's father, Alex Smith, served as NRA director for more than a decade.

is a very senior member of the NRA.

So Abel knows the NRA system and its famous members.

There were two association presidents, and he even visited her house as a guest.

Wayne LaPierre also visited his home. Thinking of this, Abel understood Bloomberg's intentions.

It's very possible that this is the guy who discovered the strong relationship between his father and the NRA.

Today, in 2000, the NRA is not an organization that only supports the elephant party, like an exclusively red-collar organization.

Most of the time since its emergence, the NRA's target party and the donkey party have wavered.

He chose to place the eggs in two cages. The NRA in the background, wholeheartedly supporting the elephant party, was after Obama liberated all sorts of neo-liberals from the cage.

before the NRA conversion.

Currently, the NRA is very attractive to both the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party.

It has 5 million members, many of them socialites.

His attitude could even greatly influence elections in most regions of the United States. Bloomberg wants to become mayor of New York.

He even left the Donkey Party for this reason and joined the Elephant Party, which has had no influential figures in the New York area in recent years.

This proves that this person is very realistic.

Every statement and idea is wrong, he just wants the throne.

Then, for this throne, to increase the possibility that he will ascend to this throne. Participate in NRA leadership and receive support from the New York region of the NRA Association.

is also understandable.

"I don't have Wayne LaPierre's contact information."

After thinking about it, Abel said, "But my father should have done that.

Maybe I can call him and get LaPierre's contact information.

But I cannot guarantee that Lapierre wants 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 rewarded with small favors.

Wayne LaPierre is also a character and Abel does not know the relationship between his father and him.

He could not guarantee that Alexander would be able to introduce Wayne LaPierre to Bloomberg. So it would be safer for him to speak out.

Just looking for contact information and not much help for Bloomberg.

But small favors must be rewarded with small favors.

He wouldn't foolishly promise to introduce Wayne LaPierre to Bloomberg.

Hearing what Abel said, Bloomberg was a bit disappointed. It was Bloomberg who discovered Wayne LaPierre's coordinates a long time ago.

He was even able to verify Abel's father's information so clearly, even the Manhattan District Attorney was investigating Abel.

Wayne LaPierre's contact information, why doesn't he have it?

The reason for finding Abel in a roundabout way was simply to take advantage of Alexander Smith's relationship with Abel.

I just didn't expect that this kid wouldn't take the bait and would be so blunt that he would say it so bluntly. What a cunning child.

He finally became serious and took the guy in front of him seriously.

"Okay, that's my problem.

But I hope that before that, I can ask your father to call Mr. Lapierre. "

"I owe you a favor." » Bloomberg finally spoke up.

Hearing his words, Abel was a bit confused at this time.

My father looked innocent and was clearly very rich, but on weekdays his behavior was no different from that of many red-collar farmers.

He has more than 3 tons of gold but is hesitant to buy an F350 worth $100,000.

In the NRA, does it have the same influence? Seriously, Abel really doesn't know.

Alexander and his wife didn't tell him much about the NRA, and he wasn't interested in these things before.

Now that I think about it, I could be friends with both NRA directors.

and Wayne LaPierre are also friends.

Alexander, it is estimated that within the NRA, is the status really high enough? "I cannot guarantee that." He hasn't said enough, even though Bloomberg said he's willing to owe him a favor.

After all, favor is only useful when status is equal.

When status is not equal, the value of favors will decrease.

"But I will call my dad," he said. He has his own choice, don't you think?

No matter what he asked, he was not willing to help Bloomberg. Anyway, everyone is investigating their own affairs, Bloomberg has said.

At most, you won't be able to get CAA shares from Bloomberg.

I enjoy those benefits, but I owe them favors.

It's okay if you don't reciprocate.

Unexpectedly, Bloomberg will also be frank. The old white man smiled resolutely: "That's right. Thank you for your help.

Abel was a bit surprised, but he immediately reacted, smiling and saying: "No need, thank you. This is my gratitude to you."

Bloomberg was speechless.

What a shameless boy.

But this type of character, on Wall Street, wouldn't have to put up with that. he thought.
