Correspondingly, these people will face smearing and suppression from the Rifle Association and its members.

Moreover, the 70s and 80s were when these guilds were the most powerful.

At one time, the major industries and consortiums in the United States had to go to war with the guild.

The reason is that apart from the fact that the guild has already deteriorated and become an interest group, the high-level guild has also changed from influencing the political arena to a group of people who want to enter the political arena themselves.

This is crossing the line.

And everything has two sides.

Politicians and the like will not take the initiative to offend them for the sake of votes, but the Mafia and other gangs have already infiltrated these guilds.

Moreover, even though the top leaders of the guild were also elected on the surface, secretly the top leaders of the guild were for power, fame, and wealth.

After reaching a certain level of prestige, these people set their sights on American politics again.

Power is like real estate, location is the most important thing, the closer you are to the center, the more valuable your property is.

This has given many politicians an extremely strong sense of crisis.

If this group of people came out to run for election, just relying on the influence and members of the guild, they would have a much higher starting point than other politicians.

There are even some cities that don't need to be compared at all.

We used to be collaborators, but now you want to take my job away, then we are enemies.

After all, since the upper echelons of the guild also have desires and things they want.

Therefore, while Li Changheng was concerned about the guild, the upper echelons of the guild were also more concerned about a big boss like him who had power and wealth.

Even to some extent, as long as he is willing, several leaders of the American Rifle Association are willing to take the initiative to cooperate with him to obtain the money and political resources they want.

So much so that when we met, the chairman of the association not only took the initiative to invite Li Changheng to become a new member of the council composed of 75 members of the association.

He also directly took over the two largest and most influential funds in the hands of the association, the Chief Operating Officer of the Political Victory Fund and the Long Gun Association Fund.

Li Changheng was stunned after hearing this. It can be said that these two funds can influence at least half of the politicians in the United States, more than 70 to 8 million families, and nearly 20 million votes.

But Li Changheng quickly realized that although the sincerity of the Rifle Association and the rights given are great, and the role of the fund's chief operating officer is not to help the fund make money.

But an indisputable fact is that the association needs Li Changheng more, or they need more funds.

With the occurrence of more and more gun violence, many white skins themselves feel that they really need to control guns.

If calculated using the data of ten or thirty years, the number of members of the American Rifle Association is indeed decreasing.

In other words, this association does seem to be very strong, but it has been going downhill.

It is their inevitable choice to recruit any new member with great influence and power.

In addition, this time the three of Neil used assault rifles in the street, and the police who beat them could not hold their heads up.

It can be said that if it is not handled properly, it will be a catastrophe for the association, major weapons manufacturers, and countless practitioners attached to this industry.

Li Changheng knew that the other party was using him, but he really didn't want to refuse.

If it was just a director, Li Changheng would refuse without even thinking about it.

Because what some people agree with in the United States, there will inevitably be other people who oppose it.

And guns are the sharpest and most contentious big trouble.

But the benefits of having access to the Political Victory Fund and the Long Gun Association Fund are too many.

As long as I promise, the politicians on my side, the gun supporters will be more active to move closer to me.

As for gun control.

It's not that I have to cooperate with gun supporters, and even the purpose of joining the association is to gain benefits.

Therefore, Li Changheng will not talk about this issue with his anti-gun lawmakers.

Besides, as long as they are not engaged in the production and sales of guns, there will be no conflict of fundamental interests among them.

In the past, Li Changheng was really willing to spend money, and he did use money to win over a large number of political and business supporters.

But because they can't directly affect the votes, it can be said that the senators and representatives of the four states of New York, New Jersey, Virginia, and South Carolina just use each other's relationship with him.

In other words, Li Changheng gave more than others.

Now the Rifle Association took the initiative to deliver it to his door, and making money was not difficult for him, and it could even be said to be a pleasant surprise.

Then don't blame him for using his own advantages to gain more power from the association little by little.

Without further hesitation, and without taking the opportunity to raise more conditions, Li Changheng agreed.

To gain power, to put it bluntly, it is to help the association earn more money, but to help the association attract more members.

And just from the names of the Political Victory Fund and the Long Gun Association Fund, it can be seen that one is to win over and lobby politicians.

One is to curry favor with the major military enterprises, help them increase sales, and at the same time get more money from them.

However, after thinking about it carefully, Li Changheng still refused to become a director, and only served as the operating officer of the two funds.

In this way, as long as the fund is controlled, it is equivalent to gaining the power to influence the association.

And I won't let many people who oppose guns attack me because I am a director of the association.

A discerning person with this kind of mind can tell at a glance that he is not a real gun owner, but still the same sentence, interests can make many people have to compromise.

And, at this moment of disapproval, it was better to draw him to his side than to push him to the side of his opponents.

Not to mention that Li Changheng holds the largest HL media in the United States.

The next day, nearly 8 million members were ecstatic after he was officially appointed as the chief operating officer of the two major funds.

But HL Media broke the news that he just became the operating officer of the two funds for the purpose of expanding his influence.

Then Li Changheng stepped forward ~lightnovelpub.net~ and publicly expressed his gratitude to the New York police and the agents of the New York branch of the FBI.

He will personally donate $1 million to help law enforcement officers who died and were injured in this case.

At the same time, he will strongly recommend that New York officials upgrade the number of police bulletproof vehicles.

These words seem to be just to strengthen defensive equipment, but the New York Police Department has money, and it is impossible to just buy bulletproof vehicles without upgrading weapons with greater power and firepower.

It's a bit like being a watch and setting up a memorial archway, but no one can find a reason to accuse him from his words.

After all, there was no explicit mention of upgrading weapons, so it has nothing to do with him that the police department will do so.

At the same time, Li Changheng only pays attention to bulletproof police cars, which is equivalent to pulling large police car manufacturers such as GM and Chevrolet into the lobbying part.

He also took the lead in suggesting that in order to deal with the ever-increasing crime rate, a special police force composed of helicopters for rapid response and air patrols could be considered.
