America's Road to Wealth

Chapter 434 Beautiful and Expensive

March 2002, 3.

At Los Angeles International Airport, a huge modified Boeing 747 landed slowly on the runway.

When the four Rolls-Royce BR4 engines on the plane were completely shut down.

The window of the plane opened, the boarding car picked up, and the figure of the captain of the bodyguard, Edward, appeared first.

After confirming the identity of the pick-up staff 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 convoy of Cadillacs and Lincolns slowly drove out of the special channel of Los Angeles International Airport.

In the cabin of the Cadillac monster.

Abe is on the phone with LaPierre, executive vice president of the NRA Association.

"I'm here, I just got off the plane, I'm going now... You can actually do it yourself, I don't care anyway."

"That won't work."

In the microphone of Abel's mobile phone, the voice of Wayne Lapierre, executive vice chairman and CEO of the National Rifle Association came.

"Abel, you are our chairman. You can't keep silent on many public affairs of the NRA. For God's sake, this time you should come forward no matter what. Even if you don't speak, just appear OK."

Hearing Lapierre's pleading words, Abel sighed helplessly.

"Hey--"

"Okay. I promise you, it can be regarded as fulfilling my last duty as the chairman of the board this year."

"Haha—then it's a deal. We're all waiting for you."

"Ah."

Abel hung up the phone and said helplessly to Edward in front, "Go to the Los Angeles Convention Center."

Edward nodded yes, picked up the walkie-talkie and said a few words.

The convoy changed direction and headed for the Los Angeles Convention Center in downtown Los Angeles.

When he came to Los Angeles this time, Abel planned to leave for John after finishing some matters on the west coast.

Visit Li Fuzhen who is about to give birth.

Stay in Han Country for a day or two, and then depart from Han Country for Europe.

Before leaving New York, he received a call from NRA CEO Lapierre.

LaPierre wanted Abe to appear at a nationally televised debate session open to the public at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

This debate meeting was initiated by the NRA Association and supported by the California Prosecutor's Department to discuss relevant aspects of the national control of wooden warehouses.

Similar debates are held several times a year in the United States, and many are televised nationally.

LaPierre said that Abel's term as the director of the National Rifle Association is almost over, and it is impossible not to have such a debate meeting.

In that case, the media will have to suspect whether Abel, the chairman of the NRA, is dissatisfied with the officials of the association or the association itself...

So Lapierre begged him to take part anyway, before the association's election season in June.

Just when Abel was coming to California, Lapierre directly invited him to participate in this debate at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Facing this request from LaPierre.

Abel thought of how the NRA protected him in a sense when he was fledgling.

Even if this kind of asylum was bought with his own money.

But in the future, I will use the power of the NRA to some extent.

Such as Alexander and Neil, and even Ikana's father in the future.

Their cause may need the help of the NRA.

Then, as the chairman of the board, it is necessary for him to perform his duties.

That's why he agreed to Lapierre's request just now.

About forty minutes later.

Abel's convoy drove into downtown Los Angeles.

Here is the business district of Los Angeles, with a diverse residential area.

Contains fashion districts and slums, and has a subway system hub.

Banks, department stores and movie theaters, at the same time attracting citizens and tourists to the area, have been sluggish for decades due to the economic downturn.

Unlike other areas, in downtown Los Angeles, few rich people would like to live here.

The reason is simple, it's fine during the day.

At night, looking at the streets and alleys here, there are a large number of blacks and homeless people everywhere, and you can understand why the rich are unwilling to live here.

The convoy arrived outside the Los Angeles Convention Center.

The reason for this debate today is that the conference center is already crowded with people.

A large number of supporters who demanded the control of wooden warehouses, as well as those who opposed the control of wooden warehouses, appeared outside the conference center.

These guys, wearing each other's hats, holding up flag titles and shouting.

There are also a large number of current affairs reporters, with cameras and video cameras, filming and interviewing everywhere.

The crowds are dense.

Of course, the Los Angeles police also dispatched a large number of manpower to prevent bad incidents.

When Abel's convoy arrived, the Los Angeles police soon came up to inquire.

After learning that the person present was actually the richest man in the world.

The head of the downtown branch of the Los Angeles Police Department, who is in charge of today's mission, will appear immediately.

"Oh, Mr. Smith, hello, hello."

Abel smiled, didn't respond much, and looked a little arrogant.

It's a bit like those Han Guo chaebols when they faced the Han Guo police.

In the United States, consortiums actually do the same.

The plutocrats are just a poor imitation of the fathers of the father country.

In this regard, the branch chief didn't take it seriously at all, but continued to communicate with Edward with a smile on his face.

The branch chief knows, let alone himself.

Even if the Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department appeared here, it would be nothing in front of him.

Didn't you see that even Mr. Mayor is respectful in front of him?
When the branch chief reported it, the general chief was shocked and immediately sent additional staff.

Abel Smith was already in Los Angeles, had an accident.

If it happened again, the Los Angeles Police Department wouldn't have to mess with it.

After such a delay, the reporters and the public also knew about the arrival of the world's richest man.

The crowd was in an uproar, whether they supported or opposed the control of Mucang, they all shouted loudly.

Abel didn't even reply.

He knew that these people were useless for business other than to join in the fun.

And after passing through the double security check of Rock Security and Los Angeles Police Department.

A group of reporters got the chance to interview Abel before he entered the conference center.

"Abe, what do you think of this wood storage debate? What do you think about the 486 wood storage cases that occurred in the United States last year?"

"Abel, you are the chairman of the NRA Association. Many people say that you are responsible for the large number of wooden warehouse cases in the United States. Do you have anything to say?"

"Abel, California Attorney General Mr. Brown claims that the NRA has done many wrong things. As director, what do you want to say to Mr. Brown?"

"..."

In the passageway from the conference center to the debate exhibition hall, Abel was surrounded by reporters on the third floor and the third floor, surrounded by all kinds of questions.

In the spacious passage, not far from where Abel was surrounded.

Many local politicians and celebrities in California looked at what 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 the former governor of California and current Attorney General Jerry Brown, couldn't help but sigh.

The last time Abel came to California, Jerry Brown found a good opportunity. There were big guys in the donkey party supporting him, and he wanted to do something against Abel.

But before the donkeys could act, those goddamn KBFZs took action against Abel.

This forced the donkey party and Jerry Brown to postpone or even cancel the action.

At this time, Abel came to California again, and the welcome he received was even stronger than himself.

Jerry Brown knew that it was really not easy to target this guy.

"Don't be surprised, in the United States, wherever he appears, other people will be supporting roles."

Perhaps it was because of the helplessness of Jerry Brown.

Standing aside, Richard Gephardt, the current minority leader of the House of Representatives with a higher status than Jerry Brown and one of the two whips of the Donkey Party, said softly.

In today's debate over the control of wooden warehouses, there is naturally the power of the donkey party.

A large part of the audience of Who Called the Donkey Party support the control or even the prohibition of Mu Cangzhi.

So in many cases, the donkey party is not very popular with the NRA.

Fortunately, during this period, the donkey and the elephant have not yet started to confront each other violently.

To be on the safe side, the NRA has always put its eggs in multiple baskets.

This makes the NRA's investment in elections always indiscriminate, and both donkeys and elephants can share.

At most, it is like enjoying more here.

Unlike in the past, the NRA's bewildered donkey was forced to stand on the side of the elephant...

It is also because of this that in today's debate, the donkey's position is neutral and biased.

In doing so, they can please their audience without offending the NRA too much.

"I understand too." Jerry Brown sighed silently, and then showed his signature hearty smile:

"Let's not talk about us, even the man in the White House will lose his glory around him. Let's go in, Richard."

Richard Gephardt nodded, and the two donkey gangsters entered the arena quietly.

On Abel's side, after dealing with the reporters, he also entered the venue.

His arrival caused an uproar in the debate scene already in place.

NRA CEO Lapierre and a group of association officials greeted him with smiles on their faces.

Those local celebrities who appeared in the debate later, or American celebrities, such as Jerry Brown, Richard Gephardt and others, also came to shake hands and hug him with smiles under the cameras of the reporters.

As the chairman of the association, Abel said a few words at the beginning.

This live debate facing the whole United States can be regarded as the official start.

The affirmative in the debate are representatives of several college and high school students across the United States.

She/they are eloquent young people specially selected by the school where the Mucang case happened last year.

They are considered to be the smartest and most outstanding group of people of their age.

Zipperton 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, and his name is Justin Bick.

The debate begins quickly.

The ending was no surprise either.

A group of young and vigorous little Zheng Tai and little Luo Li, facing their peers in school, or very eloquent.

But this time, he was facing a professional player, one of the NRA's professional public relations managers.

For justice, young people argue with the public relations manager representing the evil National Rifle Association to accuse Mu Cang.

Being crushed and satirized all the way by the evil public relations manager without any sense of elders, two of them even cried anxiously under the mocking eyes of everyone...

This is so normal.

The NRA has never lost a similar debate conference.

As the oldest and largest non-government political organization in the United States, the National Rifle Association does the most things, that is, whoever proposes to control the wooden warehouse will do it.

From the big commander to the ordinary town councilors and other small roles, there are no exceptions.

Like the future in the parallel time and space, Lao Ao proposed to discuss the control of the wooden warehouse nationwide in order to please the audience of the wooden warehouse.

Then the National Rifle Association was completely forced to go to the elephant.

And the task of a PR manager like Justin Bick in the association is to be a professional who is responsible for lobbying, making conditions, conducting various transactions, and making people shut up all day long.

The NRA has a dozen of such guys...

All of them are very powerful, and their professional ability is not lost to those barristers.

Speaking of letting the United States control the wooden warehouse, in the opinion of the chairman of the board, Abel, it is really a nonsense thing.

We must know that among all countries in the world, the United States has the most wooden warehouses, and there are about 27 billion to 31 billion wooden warehouses circulating in society.

Various small arms manufacturers are still producing millions to tens of millions of them every year.

In other words, this number will continue to increase.

If the United States can never collapse, maybe the number will exceed 100 billion in the future.

So how to control?
The most important thing is to have a wooden warehouse, which is written into the US Constitution.

If you want to control the wooden warehouse, you need to repair the line.

The American Constitution is not a neon constitution like toilet paper.

Moreover, owning Mu Cangzhi has penetrated into the blood of Americans since the Mayflower.

What's more, look at the owners of those arms companies, all of which are owned by the top ten consortiums in the United States.

Control wooden warehouse?Control your hair.

So every time there is a large-scale and hugely influential Mucang shooting case, the commander-in-chief and politicians will come out to speak, and some people will cry in front of the TV.

But as the incident passed, the voice of controlling Mucang was quickly forgotten, as if nothing had happened.

Also, in the United States, if private individuals do not have wooden warehouses, then the so-called non-concession law and the castle law will be meaningless.

If we really want to completely control the wooden warehouses in the United States, it is as impossible as letting the white houses level Wall Street.

After fulfilling his duties as the chairman of the National Rifle Association.

Abel chatted with a few local celebrities.

Around three o'clock in the afternoon, his convoy left downtown Los Angeles and headed for Beverly Hills.

Halfway through the motorcade, they passed a Bulgari jewelry flagship store on Sunset Boulevard.

Abel said two words to Edward.

The convoy continued to leave, but one Cadillac Escalade remained.

Two bodyguards got off the car and walked into the Bulgari jewelry store.

After about ten minutes, two bodyguards came out with large water-green bags in their hands, and drove to catch up with the convoy.

Spend a little money to make the beauties happy, and you will usually get more considerate service at night, maybe you can add a meal or something.

For Abel, this is already a basic operation in many cases.

What's more, he doesn't even need to take the initiative to choose, he only needs to move his mouth, everything is too simple.

"Wow, they're so pretty! Thank you honey, I love this set of renderings of New York Deco skyscrapers, boo-"

Los Angeles, Beverly Hills, Mansion at 10410 Bellagio Road.

In the evening, as the sun sets, the warm yellow sunlight dyes the entire Beverly Hills golden, which looks beautiful and expensive.

Just like the price of the house here, and what it takes to play with women here.

Pretty and expensive.

In the outdoor garden of the mansion.

In the setting sun, Nicole Kidman, the white and dazzling Australian Aries.

She was happily sitting in Abel's arms, with her right hand around Abel's neck, and her left hand was holding a sparkling diamond necklace.

On the table in front of the two of them, there was a large long jewelry box. There were also a pair of earrings, bracelets, and flower-shaped rings. The design inspiration of the whole set of jewelry came from the skyscrapers in New York, which looked magnificent and beautiful. Very unique.

Beside Mrs. J and Mrs. Y, is Cate Blanchett with a big belly.

In front of her, there is also a Bulgari top jewelry box like the Tuao Aries.

But the style is different. Kate’s is a typical Greek mythology style, using many design symbols of Greek gods.

Of course, the two sets of jewelry have one thing in common.

That is, they are both Bulgari's top flagship series, and they are all equally expensive.

A complete set would cost almost a million dollars.

"It's fine if you like it, but if you really want to thank me, you can wear them at night and let me enjoy them under the light. I think you will be more charming..."

The scumbag didn't care about Kate who was next to him with a big belly, and he had a brazen conversation with the scumbag.

"Giggle... just wear them? What a great idea, if you like!"

Nicole said happily.

"Humph--"

Kate snorted next to her, "I'm going to do maternity fuck."

After she finished speaking, she left with a dark face.

Abel didn't mind either.

He has always been tolerant of women who are pregnant by him.

"Ah... honey..."

As soon as Kate left, the Australian big white sheep "gnawed" his ears directly.

"I also want to do maternity exercises like Kate, it looks very good."

"Oh, really?"

Abel held her, his hands already where they should go.

"Of course it's true, but I'm not pregnant yet. Although I always want to be pregnant, I want to be your pregnant..."

Tuao Big Aries said in a seductive voice:
"If you don't believe me, look for yourself, my body is ready for itself..."

"Then what are you waiting for! I think this place is very good."

On the ground, in the garden of the mansion for a time, the tunes played by the ancestors of human beings in primitive times to reproduce life were reproduced.

The next morning.

Abel woke up from his sleep, and naturally let go of his An Lushan claws.

He lowered his head and shut his back to him, the hair of the Tuao big white sheep stuck to his arms.

Looking at her flawless white back, Abel couldn't help but think of last night, hanging in the air under the light, flickering bright light all night.

He smacked his sip, with some aftertaste.

For women who are as immune to glitter as the evil money-grubbing lizard dragons of the west.

Beautiful jewelry will make them extremely excited.

At the same time, it will also allow Abel to enjoy a more delicate service without any dead ends.

It's really not clear who wins and who loses.

Leaving Nicole, who was dead asleep, he got up to wash.

At the breakfast table, looking at Blanchett who hesitated to speak.

Abel cut off a large piece of 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. It's just a matter of routine for him to go back to Australia. I didn't ask him to go there on purpose. He volunteered to go after he heard that Smith Media was going to start business there."

Kate was taken aback, with a complex expression on her face, with some shame and apprehension, she asked cautiously, "Is what you said true?"

"I don't have to lie to you."

After taking a sip of the table wine, Abel said casually:
"As long as you are obedient, I promise, Mr. Upton will be safe."

Kate had complicated thoughts, thinking of her past, and then looked down at her swollen belly and the powerful big devil opposite.

She thought to herself, do I still have a choice?
Whether it is reality or psychology, I am already hopeless!

"I promise."

She looked directly at Abel and said softly.
