Chapter 435: Pretty and Expensive
2002, March 10.
At Los Angeles International Airport, a huge Boeing 747 facelift, slowly lands on the runway.
When the four Rolls-Royce BR525 engines on the plane were completely shut down.
The plane's windows opened, the boarding car picked up, and the figure of Edward, the captain of the bodyguard, appeared first.
After confirming the identity of the person receiving the person below, Edward turned around and said a few words.
Abel's figure appeared behind Edward, and then got off the plane.
Ten minutes later.
A long motorcade of Cadillac and Lincoln slowly pulled out of the special passage at Los Angeles International Airport.
Inside the cabin of the Cadillac monster.
Abel is on the phone with Lapierre, the executive vice president of the NRA Association.
"I've arrived, just got off the plane, go now...... You can do it yourself, I don't care about it anyway. β
"That's not going to work."
In the microphone of Abel's mobile phone, the voice of Wayne Lapierre, executive vice president and CEO of the National Rifle Association, was heard.
"Abel, you are our chairman. There are a lot of things in the NRA that are facing the public, and you can't just stay out all the time. For God's sake, this time you should come forward no matter what. Even if you don't speak, just show up. β
Listening to Lapierre's words full of pleading, Abel sighed helplessly.
"Heyβ"
"Okay. I promise you that I will fulfill my last duties as chairman of the board of directors this year. β
"Hahaβthat's it. We are all waiting for you. β
"Hmm."
Abel hung up the phone and reluctantly said to Edward in front of him, "Go to the Los Angeles Convention Center." β
Edward nodded yes, picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words.
The convoy turned around and headed for the Los Angeles Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles.
This time in Los Angeles, Abel plans to leave for Han after taking care of some of his affairs on the West Coast.
Let's take a look at Li Fuzhen, who is almost on the verge of giving birth.
Spend a day or two in Han and then depart for Europe.
Before leaving for New York, he received a call from Lapierre, the CEO of the NRA Association.
Lapierre wanted Abel to appear at a public-to-public, nationally televised debate meeting at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The debate was initiated by the NRA Association and supported by the California Department of Public Prosecution to discuss the relevant aspects of the national control of wood silos.
Similar debates take place several times a year in the United States, and many are broadcast live across the country.
Lapierre said that Abel's term as president of the National Rifle Association was nearing the end of his term, and he could not even fail to show up for such a debate meeting.
In that case, the media will wonder if Abel, the chairman of the NRA, is dissatisfied with the officials of the association or the association itself......
So Lapierre begged him to attend no matter what, before the association's election season in June.
It just so happened that Abel was coming to California, and Lapierre directly invited him to participate in the debate at the Los Angeles Convention Center.
In the face of this request from Lapierre.
Abel thought of the NRA's shelter for himself in a sense when he was fledgling.
Even if this kind of shelter is bought with their own money.
But in the future, I will use the power of the NRA to some extent.
For example, Alexander and Neil, and even Ikana, her father in the future.
Their careers may need the help of the National Rifle Association.
Then it is necessary for you, the chairman, to fulfill your duties.
He had just acceded to Lapierre's request.
About forty minutes later.
Abel's motorcade drove into downtown Los Angeles.
It's the business district of Los Angeles, with a diverse residential area.
It contains a fashion district and a slum, and has a hub for the MRT system.
Banks, department stores and cinemas, which at the same time attracted citizens and tourists to the area, but were depressed for decades due to the economic downturn.
Unlike other areas, in downtown Los Angeles, few wealthy people want to live here.
The reason is simple, it's okay during the day.
At night, look at the streets and alleys full of blacks and vagrants, and you can see why the rich don't want to live here.
The convoy came to the periphery of the Los Angeles Convention Center.
The reason for this debate today is that the convention center has long been crowded with people.
A large number of supporters who demanded and opposed the control of the wooden warehouse appeared outside the conference center.
The guys, wearing each other's hats and holding flags, shouted loudly.
There are also a large number of current affairs reporters, holding cameras and video cameras, shooting interviews everywhere.
The crowd gathers in a dense manner.
Of course, the Los Angeles Police also sent a large number of people to prevent bad incidents.
When Abel's motorcade arrived, there was soon a Los Angeles police officer. Check it out and ask.
When I learned that the person present was actually the richest man in the world.
The Los Angeles police officer in charge of today's mission. Inspectorate of the city center of the division. The Director of the Bureau, will appear soon.
"Oh, Mr. Smith, hello, hello."
Abel smiled, but didn't respond much, looking a little arrogant.
It's a bit like those Han chaebol sons, facing the Han police. Look at the time of the time.
In the United States, the same is true for consortia.
The chaebol sons are just a clumsy imitation of the fathers of their father's country.
In this regard, the sub-director did not disagree at all, but continued to communicate with Edward with a smile.
The sub-chief knows, let alone himself.
Even if the chief of the Los Angeles Police Department appeared here, it was nothing in front of him.
Didn't see even the city. Mr. Chief, are you respectful in front of him?
The sub-director reported, and the director of the sub-bureau was shocked and immediately sent more manpower.
Abel Smith was already in Los Angeles and had an incident.
If it comes out again, then the Los Angeles Police Department will not have to mix up.
And after such a delay, reporters and the public also learned about the arrival of the world's richest man.
The crowd was in an uproar, both for and against Kongmucang, and they all shouted loudly.
Abel didn't even respond in the slightest.
He knew that these people were of no use to business other than to join in the fun.
And after passing through the double security check of the rock security and the Los Angeles police station.
A group of reporters were given the opportunity to interview Abel before he entered the convention center.
"Abel, what do you think of this debate? What do you think about the 486 Kikura cases that occurred in the United States last year? β
"Abel, you are the chairman of the NRA Association, and many people say that you are responsible for the occurrence of a large number of wooden warehouses in the United States, do you have anything to say?"
"Abel, California Attorney General Mr. Brown claims that the NRA has done a lot of wrong things, and as the chairman, what do you want to say to Mr. Brown?"
ββ¦β¦β
In the passage leading to the debate hall in the conference center, Abel was surrounded by reporters on the third floor and the outer three floors, surrounded by all kinds of questions.
In the spacious passageway, not far from where Abel was fenced off.
Many local politicians and celebrities in California watched everything that happened in the passage with some taste and helplessness.
And some California celebrities who were interviewed just now and were immediately thrown aside by reporters after Abel appeared, including Jerry Brown, the former governor of California and the current attorney general, couldn't help but sigh.
The last time Abel came to California, Jerry Brown found a good opportunity, and there were bigwigs within the Donkey Party who supported him and did something against Abel.
But before the donkey party could act, those KBFZ took action against Abel.
This forced the Donkey Party and Jerry Brown's side to have to postpone and even cancel the operation.
At this time, Abel came to California again, and was welcomed a little more than himself.
Jerry Brown knew that it wasn't easy to target this guy at all.
"Don't be surprised, in the United States, where he appears, everyone else will be a supporting role."
Maybe he saw Jerry Brown's helplessness.
Standing next to him, the current minority leader of the House of Representatives, one of the two Donkey Party whips, who is a little higher than Jerry Brown, said softly.
In today's debate over the control of the wooden warehouse, there is naturally the existence of the power of the Donkey Party.
A large part of the audience of the Donkey Party supported the control or even the ban on the Kikura branch.
So many times, the Donkey Party is not very popular with the NRA.
Fortunately, during this period, the donkey and the elephant had not yet begun to fight fiercely.
For the sake of insurance, the NRA has always kept its eggs in multiple baskets.
As a result, the NRA's investment in elections has always been shared by both donkeys and elephants.
At most, I can enjoy more like here.
Unlike later, the NRA was forced to stand on the side of the elephant by the demonized donkey......
It is precisely for this reason that in today's debate, the donkey's position is neutral and a little bit more controlling.
In doing so, they will be able to please their audience without offending the NRA too much.
"I understand, too." Jerry Brown sighed silently, then showed his trademark hearty smile:
"Don't say it's us, even the one in the White House will be robbed of his luster by his side. Let's go in, Richard. β
Richard Gephart nodded, and the two donkey party bosses quietly entered.
On Abel's side, after dealing with the reporters, he also entered the venue.
His arrival caused an uproar in the debate that was already in place.
NRA CEO Lapierre, as well as a group of association officials, greeted him with a smile on his face.
The local celebrities, or American celebrities, such as Jerry Brown and Richard Gephardt, who appeared in the debate afterwards, also came to shake hands and hug him with smiles on their faces under the photos of reporters.
As the chairman of the association, Abel opened with a few words.
This on-site debate in front of the United States has officially begun.
On the side of the debate were several representatives of college and high school students from all over the United States.
She/they are all young people who have been specially selected from the school where the Kikura case happened last year.
He is one of the smartest and most outstanding of his peers.
Zipper back then, on the surface, was also this kind of person.
There is only one person on the opposing side, a full-time lobbyist for the National Rifle Association, named Justin Vic.
The debate soon began.
The ending was no surprise.
A group of young and vigorous Xiaozheng. Tai, Xiaoluo. Leigh is very good at school with her peers, or very sharp.
But this time, he faced a professional player, one of the professional public relations managers of the NRA.
For the sake of justice, the young people argue with the PR manager of the National Rifle Association, which represents evil, against Kikura.
was crushed and sarcastic all the way by the evil public relations manager, who had no elder demeanor, and two of them even cried in the eyes of everyone playfully......
It's so normal.
The NRA has never lost a conference like this.
As the oldest and largest non-governmental organization in the United States, the National Rifle Association does the most thing, that is, whoever wants to propose the control of Mukura will do it.
From the Grand Commander to the ordinary town councillor and other minor roles, all of them are no exception.
Like the future in parallel time and space, in order to please the audience of the wooden warehouse, Lao Ao proposed to discuss the wooden warehouse nationwide.
Then the National Rifle Association was completely forced to the elephant's side.
And a PR manager like Justin Vick, whose job in the association is to be a professional who is responsible for lobbying, proposing conditions, making all kinds of deals, and getting people to shut up.
Such guys, the NRA raised a dozen ......
All of them are very good, and their professional ability is not inferior to those barristers.
Speaking of letting the United States control the wooden warehouse, in the eyes of Abel, the chairman, it is really a nonsense thing.
You must know that among all the countries in the world, the United States is the country with the most wooden silos, with about 2.7 billion to 3.1 billion wooden silos in circulation.
Manufacturers of light weapons are still producing millions to tens of millions of light weapons every year.
That said, the number will continue to increase.
If the United States can continue to collapse, it may not be possible that the number will exceed 10 billion in the future.
So how to control?
The most important thing is to have a wooden warehouse branch, which is written into the US Constitution. legal.
If you want to control the wooden warehouse, you have to repair Xian.
The American constitution is not a neon toilet paper-like constitution.
And the possession of the Kikura branch has been deeply rooted in the blood of the Americans since the Mayflower.
What's more, look at those armies. The owners of the fire company are all the industries of the top ten conglomerates in the United States.
Wood control warehouse? Control a hair.
So every time there was a large-scale, huge-impact Kikura attack, the commanders and dignitaries would come out to speak, and some people would cry in front of the TV.
But as the incident passed, the voice of the control wood warehouse was quickly forgotten, as if nothing had happened.
In addition, in the United States, if there are no private people, then the so-called non-concession law and the castle law will be useless.
If you really want to completely control the wooden warehouse in the United States, it is impossible to let the white house bulldoze Wall Street.
After fulfilling his duties as president of the National Rifle Association.
Abel chatted with a few local celebrities.
Around three p.m., his convoy left downtown Los Angeles and headed for Beverly Hills.
Halfway through the procession, it passed by a Bulgari jewellery flagship store on Sunset Boulevard.
Abel said two words to Edward.
The convoy continued to leave, but a Cadillac Escalade remained.
Two bodyguards got out of the car and walked into the Bulgari jewelry store.
About ten minutes later, two bodyguards walked out with large water-green bags in their hands and drove to follow the convoy.
Spend a little money to make the beauties happy, and you will generally get more intimate service in the evening, maybe you can add a meal or something.
For Abel, this is already a basic operation many times.
What's more, he doesn't even have to take the initiative to choose, he just needs to move his mouth, everything is too simple.
"Wow, they're so beautiful! Thank you, dear, I love this design that renders New York's dΓ©cor skyscrapers, and poofβ"
Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, 10410 Bellagio Road.
In the evening, the sun sets, and the warm yellow sun dyes the whole of Beverly Hills, which looks beautiful and expensive.
Just like the price of the house here, and the payment it takes to be a woman who wants to play here.
Pretty and expensive.
In the outdoor garden of the mansion.
At sunset, the same white dazzling Tuao Aries Nicole Kidman.
She was happily sitting in Abel's arms, her right hand around Abel's neck, and her left hand holding a diamond necklace that sparkled with charming brilliance.
On the table in front of the two people, there is a large long jewelry box, and there are a pair of earrings, bracelets, and flower-shaped rings in turn.
Next to Mrs. J and Mrs. Y, is Cate Blanchett, who has a big belly.
In front of her, there is also a box of Bulgari's top jewelry that is the same as that of Tuao Da Aries.
However, the style is different, Kate's side is typical of Greek mythology, using many Greek god design symbols.
Of course, the two sets of jewels have one thing in common.
That is, they are both Bulgari's top-of-the-line flagship series, and they are all equally expensive.
A complete set will cost almost a million dollars.
"It's good if you like it, but if you really want to thank me, you can wear them at night and let me enjoy them in the light, I think, you'll be even more charming......"
The scumbag didn't care about Kate, who had a big belly next to him, and talked to the scumbag unscrupulously.
"Giggle...... Wearing only them? What a great idea, as long as you like! β
Nicole said pleasantly.
"Hmph-"
Kate's snort came from the side, "I'm going to do a maternity." β
After saying that, she walked away with a black face.
Abel didn't care.
He has always been tolerant of women who have been enlarged by themselves.
"Ah...... Dear ......"
As soon as Kate left, the Tuao Aries directly "gnawed" his ears.
"I want to do maternity like Kate, it looks very good."
"Oh? Are you sure? β
Abel hugged her, his hands already gone where they were supposed to be.
"Of course it's true, but I'm not pregnant yet. Although I've always wanted to be pregnant, I want to be your pregnant ......"
The voice of the big white sheep in Tuao is seductive. The Way of Man:
"If you don't believe it, my body, it's ready for itself......"
"So what are you waiting for! I think it's a good place to be. β
For a time, the garden of the mansion reproduced the tunes played by the ancestors of mankind in primitive times for reproduction.
Early the next morning.
Abel woke up from his sleep and naturally let go of his An Lushan claws.
He lowered his head and lowered his back to him, sticking to the hair of the Tuao Aries in his arms.
Looking at her white and flawless back, Abel couldn't help but think of the bright light that hung low in the air and swayed all night in the light.
He smashed it, and there was some aftertaste.
For a woman who, like the evil money-hungry lizard dragon of the West, has no resistance to glittering things.
Beautiful jewelry will make them extremely excited.
At the same time, it will also allow Abel to enjoy a more delicate service without missing dead ends.
Who makes and who loses, that's really not clear.
Leaving Nicole to sleep, he got up and washed.
At the breakfast table, Blanchett looked at Blanchett, who wanted to talk and stopped.
Abel cut off a large piece of the tomahawk steak on the plate, stuffed it into his mouth and chewed a few bites.
He said casually: "Don't worry about Mr. Andrew Upton, his return to Australia is just a routine." I didn't specifically ask him to go, but he took the initiative to ask Ying to go after hearing that Smith Media was going to do business there. β
Kate was stunned, her face was a little complicated, with some shame and apprehension, and asked carefully, "Is what you said true?" β
"I don't have to lie to you."
After taking a sip of the dessert wine that accompanied the meal, Abel said casually:
"As long as you are obedient, I promise that Mr. Upton will be safe."
Kate's mind was complicated, she remembered her past, and looked down at her already bulging belly, and the powerful demon king opposite.
She thought to herself, do you have a choice?
Whether it's reality or psychology, I'm already hopeless!
"I promise."
She looked directly at Abel and whispered.
