The organization I represent has holdings in a variety of fields of interests. While my employer has the ability to solidly run the industrial and financial sides, we ally ourselves with those who can provide more direct 'pushes' on occasion.
I don't flowery language so well, so I will be blunt. My employer currently utilizes the prominent Russian family in the city. In exchange for their work in the more physical negotiation tactics, they are compensated very generously. My employer is dissatisfied with the services they provide, though, and is seeking a replacement.
If you're interested, you would be provided opportunity and support to assist you in taking them out of the equation and in establishing a firm foothold in New York simultaneously.
