Chapter 95 Opportunities to Enter the Energy Industry
It's good to have an experienced professional here.
Soon Abel knew that even if he was doing something green, he would be in trouble.
The United States also needs to pay attention to packaging.
It is not easy to come up with donations for Shoji.
There are many restrictions.
For example, according to relevant regulations, in each election, an individual’s donation to a candidate cannot exceed US$2,000, and the total annual donation cannot exceed US$37,500.
An individual's annual contribution to a political 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 regulation could really be strictly enforced, then the 8 billion figure in 2016 would not be so exaggerated.
Then every general election cannot be so exaggerated.
Therefore, although the regulations are regulations, there must be ways to circumvent the regulations.
Otherwise it would not be one dollar per vote.
Ha~ Dwayne blinked, It's actually very simple. Abel.
For example, if you have a company, there are 100 people in your company.
Everyone supports Mr. Smith and everyone is willing to support him with a check.
Then 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.
Drawing inferences from one example, he immediately understood why the Koch brothers had such an influence on the upper echelons of the United States.
The reason is far more than those Internet giants who appear to be richer on the surface.
Because although the Internet giants have money, they actually don’t have many people under them.
The entire Internet company has tens of thousands of employees, which is amazing.
At its peak, Apple had about 130,000 employees.
It seems like a lot, very scary, right?
But you know, Apple is already at the top of the technology companies.
An ordinary, medium-sized industrial group often has thousands of employees.
Groups like the Koch Group are involved in 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, who are difficult to control.
Most of Koch Group’s employees are middle- and lower-level employees.
Both are controlled, and the degree of influence of the two by the company is different.
Employees in the latter are more obedient and more willing to cooperate with their bosses.
So this is why the Internet giants of later generations seemed to be particularly loud and influential during the general election.
But when it comes to doing this kind of thing, giants like Koch have greater influence.
Because the influence of both parties is reflected in different places.
Most of the influence of Internet giants is on the Internet.
Most of the influence of industrial or industrial giants is in reality.
As for things like votes, the real world is obviously more important.
There is another very important difference between the two:
The Koch brothers are a private company, so they can do whatever they want.
Internet giants are all listed companies. If they want to do big things, they must go through the board of directors.
So this is why the Koch Group has a greater influence in this area than other industrial giants.
Because many other industrial giants, they are also public companies.
In this regard, the influence of listed companies is not comparable to that of private companies.
This was 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: I understand. Just recently, I will have a company moving to Tarrant.
After thinking about it, Abel felt that it was not safe, In addition, I may invest in some properties in Tarrant recently.
Mr. Dwayne, do you have any good suggestions?
Dwayne laughed.
The old white man looked at Alexander, who crossed his arms with a cocky expression.
Dwayne is now a little envious of Alexander for having such a son.
Being willing to help his father, the more important thing is actually having money.
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.
This is why Dwayne is willing to give in.
So Dwayne knew Abel wasn't bragging when he said that.
Dwayne came here today. In addition to wanting to see Abel, he also wanted to know how Abel would help Alexander.
“I’m not very good at investing,” Dwayne said, “but I think Alles is a good choice.
Mainly because it is for sale and it is easiest to buy it at this time.
Ales? Abel had never heard of this name, and he looked at Alexander.
The latter knew his doubts and explained to him:
“Alesvas and Electrical Company.
One of Tarrant County's power companies, more than a thousand farms receive their electricity from this company. In Tarrant County, it has about a quarter of a million customers.
Hearing what his father said, Abel understood the nature of this company.
An electric power company.
There is no doubt that electric power companies are privately owned in the United States.
There are approximately more than 200 electric power companies in the United States, with large-scale giants such as American Electric Power and Edison.
Small ones like the Alesvas and Electric Company.
In Texas alone, there are dozens of electric companies.
Okay. Abel said, I will contact someone later and research this company.
Abel guessed that Dwayne must have some connection with this company.
Otherwise, the company would not be recommended to him, even if buying the company would really help Alexander's campaign.
Without profit, you can’t afford to be early. This description can basically describe all American capitalists and politicians.
Dwayne explained: “The reason why I recommended Ales.
The reason is because it's so cheap now, the company is now $200 million in debt and insolvent.
It probably won't cost much to buy it, but the debt will be a headache.
The key thing is that it affects the electrical freedom of one in six Tarrants.
“Buy it and have it provide energy to these people again.
Then there is a huge probability that these people can support the candidate who can rejuvenate Alais.
After hearing his words, Abel nodded.
Abel knew that what Dwayne said was reasonable, but Abel was not the one who was taken advantage of.
If this was really the case, Abel would have people find out if this company was a trap.
And after getting this company, how much money will it cost to get the effect Dwayne said.
Abel also needs to know whether this investment will be wasted.
Only after confirming these will he decide whether to take action.
After all, if you really want to help your dad, there are so many ways you can use it.
There is no need to fall into the pit.
After thinking about it, Abel was about to ask a few more questions.
At this time, his cell phone rang.
I'll take a call. After looking at it, he saw that the caller 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 unoccupied small room next to the conference room.
After entering, he answered the phone.
The call had just been connected and there was no time to exchange greetings.
David Mellon said over there: Abel, I think it's better for you to 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 had a search warrant. They took away a lot of information, as well as Sophia and Jace.
I contacted Ms. Caroline and she asked you to come back right away, but not to worry too much.
fxxk!
Abel growled.
I see.
He said, I'll be right back.
