Chapter 95: Opportunities to Enter the Energy Industry

It's good to have an experienced professional in the area.

Soon Abel knew that even if he was engaged in green paper rectification.

Lao Mei also has to talk about packaging.

It's not easy to get a money donation.

There are a lot of limitations.

For example, according to the relevant regulations, an individual's contribution to a candidate in each election cannot exceed $2,000, and the total annual contribution cannot exceed $37,500.

An individual's annual contribution to a Positive Action Committee may not exceed $5,000.

After listening to Dwayne's explanation, Abel looked at him, "Dwayne, there will always be a way, right?" ”

If this rule can really be strictly enforced, it will not be as exaggerated as 8 billion in 2016.

It is impossible to make such an exaggeration in every general election.

Therefore, although the regulations are regulations, there must be ways to circumvent the restrictions of the regulations.

Otherwise, it's not a dollar per vote.

"Ha~" Dwayne blinked, "It's actually very simple. Abel.

Like what.... You have a company, and you have a hundred people in this company. ”

"Everybody supports Mr. Smith, everybody is willing to support him with a check."

"The federation will not prohibit it, because it is in line with freedom and democracy."

"Do you understand?"

Abel immediately understood.

It dawned on him that he could still do this.

By inference, he immediately knew why the Koch brothers had an impact on the upper echelons of the United States.

Far more than the seemingly wealthier Internet giants.

Because although the Internet giants are rich, they don't have many people under them.

It's remarkable that tens of thousands of employees have been killed in the entire Internet company.

Like Apple at its peak, it had about 130,000 employees.

Looks like a lot, pretty scary, right?

But you know, Apple is already at the top of the tech company.

An ordinary, medium-sized industrial group often employs thousands of people.

The Koch Group, on the other hand, involves so many industries, and most of them are labor-intensive.

The number of employees working for it is absolutely massive.

And compared to technology companies like Apple, most of them are highly educated elites, and these people are difficult to control.

Most of the employees of the Koch Group are middle and low-level personnel.

The two are controlled, and the extent of influence by the company is not the same.

The latter's employees are more obedient and more willing to cooperate with their bosses.

So that's why the Internet giants in later generations seem to be very loud and influential during the general election.

But when it comes to this kind of thing, it is a giant like Koch who is more influential.

Because the influence of the two sides is reflected in different places.

Most of the influence of the internet giants is on the internet.

Most of the influence of industrial or industrial giants is in reality.

And the vote is such a thing, obviously the real world is more important.

Between the two, there is another important difference -

The Koch brothers are privately owned, and it's up to them to do whatever they want.

Internet giants are all listed companies, and if they want to do big things, they must pass the board of directors.

So that's why Koch Group's influence in this area is greater than that of other industrial giants.

Because a lot of other industrial giants, they are also listed companies.

In this regard, the influence of listed companies is not comparable to that of private companies.

This is Abel's own association after Dwayne finished speaking.

He didn't know if that was the case, but he would figure it out later.

Abel said, "Understood. It just so happens that recently, I will have a company move to Tarrant. ”

After thinking about it, Abel felt unsafe, "In addition, I may invest in some properties in Tarrant in the near future." ”

"Do you have any good suggestions, Mr. Dwayne?"

Dwayne laughed.

The old white man glanced at Alexander, who had a dick expression on his chest with both hands.

Dwayne is now a little envious of Alexander, having such a son.

is willing to help his father, and the more important thing is actually ..... Rich.

The last time Abel came back, he had already confessed his net worth to Alexander.

When Alexander persuaded Dwayne, he also revealed Abel's net worth to Dwayne.

That's why Dwayne is willing to give in.

So Dwayne knew that Abel wasn't bragging.

Dwayne came over today, not only to see Abel, but also to know how Able would help Alexander.

"I'm not very good at investing." "But I think Ales is a good choice," Dwayne said.

The main thing is that it is being sold, and it is easiest to buy it at this time. ”

"Ales?" Abel had never heard the name, and he looked at Alexander.

The latter, knowing his doubts, opened his mouth to explain to him:

"Alesvas with the electrical company.

One of the electric utilities in Tarrant County, with more than a thousand farms getting electricity from this company. In Tarrant County, it has about 250,000 customers. ”

Hearing his father say this, Abel understood the nature of the company.

An electric power company.

There is no doubt that electric utilities are also privately owned in the United States.

There are about 200 electric power companies in the United States, and there are giants such as American Power and Edison on a large scale.

Small-scale ones like Alesvas and the Electric Company.

In Texas alone, there are dozens of electric utilities.

"Okay." Abel said, "I'll get in touch with someone and research the company later." ”

Abel speculated that Dwayne must have something to do with the company.

Otherwise, he would not recommend this company to him, even if buying it would really help Alexander's campaign.

No profit can not be early, this description can basically describe all American capitalists and politicians.

Dwyane explains: "I recommend Alex.

The reason is that because it is cheap now, the company is now 200 million dollars in debt and is already insolvent.

It is estimated that it will not cost much to buy it, but it is a headache to be in debt. ”

"The point is, it affects the freedom of electricity for one in six Tarrants."

"Buy it and let it re-energize these people.

Then there is a high probability that these people can support the candidate who will give Ales a new lease of life. ”

Listening to his words, Abel nodded.

Abel knew that Dwayne had a point, but Abel was not wronged.

Just like that, Abel also wants people to find out if this company is a pit.

And how much does it cost to get this company to get the effect that Dwayne said.

Abel also wants to know whether this investment will be wasted.

After confirming this, he will decide whether to make a move or not.

After all, if you really want to help your father, there are too many ways to use it.

There's no need to fall into a pit.

After thinking about it, Abel just wanted to ask a few more questions.

At this moment, his cell phone rang.

"I'll answer the phone." I looked, the person who made the call was David Mellon, Abel said.

"Please." Dwayne smiled.

Alexander didn't speak, just looked at his son.

Able stood up and walked into the small room next door to the room.

Once inside, he answered the phone.

The phone was just connected, and it was too late to say hello.

David Mellon said over there, "Abel, I think you'd better come back now." ”

"What happened?"

"Just now.

Someone from the Financial Crimes Unit of the Manhattan District Attorney's Office came to Smith Capital. ”

"They have a search warrant. They took a lot of information, as well as Sophia and Jace. ”

"I contacted Ms. Caroline and she told you to come back right away, but don't worry too much."

“fxxk!”

Abel let out a low roar.

"I see."

He said, "I'll be right back." ”
