America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 94 Opportunities to enter the energy industry

It is good to have an experienced professional on hand.

Soon Abel knew that it was even a green paper.

Laomei also has to talk about packaging.

Zhengzhi donations are not easy to come by.

There are many restrictions.

For example, according to relevant regulations, in each election, individual donations to a candidate shall not exceed US$2000, and the total annual donations shall not exceed US$3.75.

Individual contributions to a political action committee are limited to $5000 per year.

After listening to Dewayne's explanation, Abel looked at him, "Dewayne, there is always a way, right?"

If this regulation can be strictly enforced, then in 2016 it will not be as exaggerated as 80 billion.

It is impossible to make such an exaggeration every time the general election is held.

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

Otherwise, it would not be one dollar, one vote.

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

For example, you have a company, and your company has a hundred people. "

"Everyone supports Mr. Smith, and everyone is willing to support him with a check."

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

"Do you understand it?"

Abel understood immediately.

He suddenly realized that it could still be like this.

By analogy, he immediately knew why the Koch brothers had an influence on the upper class of the old America.

The reason is far more than those seemingly richer Internet giants.

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

The entire Internet company has tens of thousands of employees, and it is remarkable.

Like Apple at its peak, there were about 13 employees.

Seems like a lot, pretty scary right?
But you must know that Apple is already at the top of the technology company.

And an ordinary, medium-sized industrial group often has tens of thousands of employees.

A group like the Koch Group involves so many industries, and most of them are labor-intensive industries.

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-level and bottom-level personnel.

The two are under control, and the degree to which the two are affected by the company is not the same.

The latter employees are more obedient and more willing to cooperate with the boss.

So this is why those Internet giants in later generations seem to have a particularly loud voice and influence during the general election.

But when doing this kind of thing, it is giants like Koch who have more influence.

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

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

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

And things like votes are obviously more important in the real world.

There is another very important difference between the two——

The Koch Brothers are a private company, and they can 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 this is why the influence of the Koch Group in this area is greater than that of other industrial giants.

Because many 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. Just recently, I will have a company move to Tarrant."

After thinking about it, Abel felt unsafe, "Also, I may invest in some industries in Tarrant recently."

"Mr. Devine, do you have any good advice?"

Dwayne laughed.

The old white man glanced at Alexander, who put his hands on his chest and looked like a dick.

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

To be willing to help his father, the most important thing is actually to be rich.

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

When Alexander persuaded Devine, he also disclosed Abel's net worth to Devine.

That's why Dwyane is willing to give in.

So Dwayne knew Abel wasn't bragging when he said that.

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

"In terms of investing, I'm not very good at it." Devine said: "But I think Ales Company is a good choice.

The main reason is that it is selling itself, and it is easiest to buy it at this time. "

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

The latter knew his doubts and explained to him:
"Aleswas and Electric.

One of the electric companies in Tarrant County, more than a thousand farms get their electricity from this company.In Tarrant County, it has about 25 customers. "

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

An electric company.

Undoubtedly, electric companies are also privately owned in the United States.

There are more than 200 power companies in the United States, and the large-scale giants include American Electric Power and Edison.

Small ones like Aleswas and Electric.

There are dozens of power companies in Texas alone.

"Okay." Abel said, "I will find someone to contact later and research this company."

Abel guessed that Dwayne must have some connection to the company.

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

It’s not too early to make money, this description can basically describe all American capitalists and politicians.

DeWine explained: "The reason why I recommend Ales.

The reason is because it's cheap right now, and the company is now insolvent with $[-] million in debt.

It is estimated that it will not cost much to buy it, but the debt is a headache. "

"The point is that it affects the freedom to use electricity for one in six Tarrants."

"Buy it and put it back to power these people.

Then there is a great probability that these people can support the candidate who can revitalize Ales. "

After listening to his words, Abel nodded.

Abel knew Dwayne had a point, but Abel wasn't being taken for granted.

As if this was the case, Abel also wanted someone to find out whether this company was a scam.

And after getting this company, how much will it cost to get the effect that Devine said.

Abel also needs to know whether this investment will be in vain.

After confirming these, he will decide whether to make a move.

After all, if I really want to help my dad, there are too many ways to use it.

No need to fall into the pit.

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

At this time, his cell phone rang.

"I'll take a call." After looking at it, the person making the call was David Mellon, and Abel said.

"Please." Dwayne smiled.

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

Abel stood up and walked into the small empty room next to the meeting room.

After entering, he answered the phone.

The phone was just connected, and there was no time to exchange pleasantries.

David Mellon said over there: "Abel, I think it's better for you to come back now."

"What happened?"

"just now.

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, and Sophia and Jess."

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

"fxxk!"

Abel growled.

"I understand."

He said, "I'll be right back."
