America's Road to Wealth

Ovitz yacht,

Aft deck observation deck.

Faced with Abel's politeness, Bloomberg didn't look polite at all.

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

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 is a little more troublesome but can be figured out.

Not a big favor.

But it's still a favor.

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

Abel smiled and said, Please tell me.

He was also very curious about this guy giving him two favors.

Want something in yourself.

Wayne LaPierre.

Bloomberg said very 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?

Bloomberg smiled and said, Yes, that's Mr. Wayne LaPierre.

Abel frowned.

He knew Wayne LaPierre.

This is the CEO and executive vice president of the NRA, the National Rifle Association.

As I said before,

The NRA Association has a Board of Governors 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 President who is not a member of the Board of Directors.

But appointed by the Board of Directors to assume the role of Chief Executive Officer.

The current person holding this position is Wayne LaPierre.

Abel’s father, Alex Smith, has been an NRA director for more than ten years.

He is a very senior NRA member.

Therefore, Abel is familiar with the NRA association's system and its famous members.

He has been the chairman of the association for two terms 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 found out about his father's strong connection with the NRA.

Now in 2000, the NRA is not an organization that will only support the Elephant Party in the future, like an exclusive organization for red necks.

For most of the time since its emergence, the NRA's target party and donkey party have vacillated.

It chose to place its eggs in two cages.

The NRA in the back who wholeheartedly supports the Elephant Party came after Obama let all kinds of neoliberal demons out of their cages.

The NRA just changed.

At this time, the NRA Association has great appeal 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 not had a strong figure 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.

Get in touch with NRA management and get help from the NRA's New York area.

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, and even knew about the Manhattan District Attorney's investigation into Abel.

Wayne LaPierre's contact information, how could he not have it.

He approached Abel in a roundabout way just because he wanted to use Alexander Smith's relationship 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. That's my problem.

But I hope that before that, your father can give Mr. LaPierre a call.

I owe you a favor, Bloomberg said at last.

After hearing his words, Abel was a little confused now.

My father looked silly and was obviously very rich, but his 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.

Is it so influential in the NRA association?

To be honest, Abel really doesn’t know.

The Alexanders didn't tell him much about the NRA, and he didn't care about them before.

Now that I think about it, I can be friends with the two presidents of the NRA Association.

Also friends with Wayne LaPierre.

I guess Alexander, this guy, has a really high status in the NRA association?

I can't guarantee it. He didn't finish his words even though Bloomberg had said he was willing to owe him a favor.

After all, favors are only useful when there are equal statuses.

When status is not equal, the value of favor will be compromised.

He said: But I will call my father. He will make his own choice, what do you think?

No matter how much he asks, he is not willing to help Bloomberg.

Bloomberg has already said who is investigating his own affairs anyway.

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

I took the benefits, but I owed the favors.

If you don't return the favor, what does it matter?

Unexpectedly, Bloomberg did not hesitate. The old white man smiled decisively and said: Okay. Thank you for your help.

Abel was a little surprised, but he immediately reacted and said with a smile: No need to thank you, sir. This is a favor I am returning to you.

Bloomberg was speechless.

What a shameless boy.

But this kind of personality will not suffer a loss on Wall Street.

He thought so.
