Chapter 63: My Daddy Is So Dick?
Yacht Ovitz,
On the aft deck observation deck.
In the face of Abel's "politeness", Bloomberg did not look polite at all.
When Abel said he would do what he could to help him in next year's general election.
Lord Bloomberg immediately showed Abel what the speed of a capitalist is.
He said directly: "There is really something wrong now, and I want you to help." ”
When he said this, Abel breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the two favors given by Bloomberg are 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, troubles a little more, but can be figured out.
It's not a big favor.
But it's still a human favor.
Now Bloomberg didn't want to spend the night, and Abel was happy too.
Abel smiled and said, "Please speak." ”
He was also very curious, this guy sent himself such two favors.
Want to get something out of yourself.
"Wayne Lapierre."
Bloomberg said directly, "I hope Abel, you can introduce me to Wayne Lapierre." I would like to invite him to dinner. ”
"Wayne Lapierre?" Abel read the name for a moment, and he asked rhetorically with some uncertainty:
"Is that the name that Wayne from the NRA Association?"
Bloomberg laughed and said, "Yes, it's Mr. Wayne Lapierre." ”
Able frowned.
Wayne Lapierre is the man he knows.
This is the NRA, the CEO and Executive Vice President of the National Rifle Association.
As mentioned earlier,
The NRA has a board of directors with 75 members.
These NRA directors are elected every three years.
Then one of the 75 people will be elected to serve as the president of the NRA association.
The term of office of the President is one year.
There is also an Executive Vice President, who is not a member of the Board of Directors.
However, he is appointed by the Board of Directors to assume the role of Chief Executive Officer.
The incumbent in this position is Wayne Lapierre.
Abel's father, Alex Smith, has served as a director of the NRA for more than ten years.
He is a very senior member of the NRA.
Therefore, Abel is also familiar with the system of the NRA association and those famous members.
He has served two terms as president of the association, and he has also been a guest at his house.
Wayne Lapierre has also been to his house as a guest.
Thinking of this, Abel had already understood Bloomberg's intentions.
There is a high probability that this guy has found out his father's strong relationship with the NRA.
Now in 2000, the NRA is not the organization that has since been bent on supporting only the Elephant Party, such as the Red Neck.
For most of the time since its emergence, both the NRA target party and the donkey party have been wavering.
It chooses to keep the eggs in two cages.
The NRA, which is bent on supporting the Elephant Party, is after Oba Donkey has released all sorts of neoliberal demons out of the cage.
The NRA before the transformation.
At this time, the NRA association, whether it was for the Donkey Party or the Elephant Party, had a great attraction.
Many of its 5 million members are still social elites.
Its attitude can even greatly influence elections in most parts of the country.
Bloomberg wants to be the mayor of New York.
He even quit the Donkey Party and joined the Elephant Party, which had few powerful figures in the New York area in recent years.
This shows that this person is very realistic.
Any proposition or idea is empty, he only needs that throne.
Well, for the sake of this throne, in order to increase his probability of ascending this throne.
Get involved with NRA management and get help from NRA Association New York area forces.
It's understandable.
"I don't have Wayne Lapierre's contact information."
After thinking about it, Abel said, "But my father should have it."
Maybe I can call him and get Lapierre's contact details from him.
But whether Lapierre would like to have dinner with you, I can't guarantee. ”
This time, Abel owes Bloomberg two favors.
But it's just two little favors.
Of course, a villain can only be repaid with a villain.
Wayne Lapierre is also a figure, and Abel is unaware of his father's relationship with him.
Nor could he guarantee that Alexander would be able to introduce Wayne Lapierre to Bloomberg.
So it's safer for him to speak.
Just looking for contact information, there is not much effort to help Bloomberg.
But the villain should be repaid with the villain.
He wouldn't be foolish enough to pack a ticket and say that he would definitely introduce Wayne Lapierre to Bloomberg.
Hearing Abel's words, Bloomberg was a little disappointed.
Wayne LaPierre's contact information, Bloomberg himself had already found.
He could even check the information about Abel's father very clearly, and even the Manhattan District Attorney could know that the Manhattan District Attorney was investigating Abel.
Wayne Lapierre's contact details, how could he not have it.
Rounding around the corner to find Abel, he just wanted to use Abel's relationship with Alexander Smith.
It's just that I didn't expect this kid to take the bait, and he said it so simply just now.
What a cunning boy.
He finally got up and took the young man in front of him seriously.
"Okay. Then you're in for trouble.
But before that, I hope to ask your father to give Mr. Lapierre a phone call. ”
"I owe you a favor." Bloomberg concluded.
Hearing his words, Abel was now a little puzzled.
My father, who looks simple and is obviously rich, but on weekdays, behaves no different from many red-necked farmers.
The guy who has more than 3 tons of gold deposits, but is reluctant to buy even a $100,000 F350.
Is there such a big influence in the NRA association?
Seriously, Abel really doesn't know.
The Alexanders didn't tell him much about the NRA, and he didn't care about it before.
Now that I think about it, I can be friends with the two presidents of the NRA Association.
And Wayne LaPierre is also friends.
Alexander, this guy, I guess his status in the NRA association is really quite high?
"I'm not sure." He didn't say it all, even though Mr. Bloomberg had said he was willing to owe him a favor.
After all, there is such a thing as human affection, which is only useful when the status is equal.
When the status is not equal, favor is a fart.
In the Hong Kong film "Jiupin Sesame Official", Bao Longxing's father also has an adult favor on the side of Jingshi.
It seems to be a life-saving kindness.
But what is the result?
The result is to feed the two sons bread!
"But I'll call my father," he said. It's up to him to make his own choice, what do you think? ”
No matter how much he asked, he was not willing to help Bloomberg.
Who's investigating his own business anyway, Bloomberg has already said.
At best, they won't get any of Bloomberg's CAA shares.
I took the benefits, and I owe the favors.
What does it matter if you don't return the favor.
Unexpectedly, Bloomberg was also simply, the old white man smiled decisively and said, "Yes." Thank you for your help. ”
Abel was a little surprised, but he immediately reacted and smiled and said, "No thanks, sir." I'm returning the favor to you. ”
Bloomberg was speechless.
What a shameless boy.
But this kind of character, on Wall Street, will not suffer.
He thought.
