As long as Venus Bank holds shares in General Electric and Westinghouse respectively, although these two companies won’t form a monopoly, Venus Bank can still monopolize the dostic electrical industry in the United States, and that’s enough!
At this mont, Donnie had even figured out that after completing the shareholding of these two companies, he would spice things up. For instance, he could convey so of General Electric’s leading technologies to Westinghouse through special ans, or reveal so channels of Westinghouse to General Electric.
Let them maintain a competitive relationship of chasing after one another.
Furthermore, Irving still hadn’t thought of sothing, not because he wasn’t smart enough, but because his current position didn’t allow him to see such a high-level picture.
Donnie chose to keep Westinghouse and General Electric from rging for another reason, which was to avoid triggering the sensitive nerves of the Arican public.
Although Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, and even Franklin Roosevelt, who would be one of the most successful Presidents in Arican history, Donnie was confident that they would not pin the anti-monopoly case on him.
But nothing is absolute, and Donnie would never place all his bets on one person or one force, so keeping Westinghouse and General Electric from rging was out of this consideration!
When Venus Bank eventually holds shares in Westinghouse and General Electric, it will certainly cause a major stir, but as long as Donnie controls dia reporting and doesn’t rge these two companies, within a year’s ti, people will forget about it, viewing Westinghouse and General Electric as two separate companies!
Irving was deeply shocked internally after seeing Donnie’s smile.
He thought he was already very smart, but when he figured out Donnie’s plan, he realized the gap between himself and Donnie!
But Irving also realized that the benefits he wanted were impossible to achieve!
"If everything goes according to Mr. Block’s plan, then why should I cooperate with Mr. Block’s plan?"
Irving wanted to fight for one last chance!
Donnie smiled and said, "Of course, there are benefits for you. First, if you cooperate with in acquiring General Electric’s shares, you will still be the president and chairman of the board of General Electric. Additionally, you should know about my influence in the White House, so I can assure you that after you step down from your position at General Electric, I will find a governnt position for you, and perhaps in a few decades, your family could also beco a truly prominent family in the United States!"
Irving pondered for a mont and asked Donnie, "Is this your final offer, Mr. Block?"
Donnie nodded, "That’s right, your obstruction could indeed cause so trouble for Venus Bank, and Venus Bank might end up paying a bit more, but the outco of this matter won’t change. I don’t think you would disagree on this point. If you choose to be my adversary, then after Venus Bank becos the controlling company of General Electric.
Yang, you know how I deal with my enemies!"
The last sentence was already a threat from Donnie.
Irving fully understood Donnie’s aning, so after a brief consideration, he chose to bow to Donnie, "I understand, from now on General Electric is yours, Mr. Block!"
Donnie smiled and said, "Very good, I won’t let you regret the decision you made today!"
.
After settling with the White House and Irving, Donnie returned to Atlantic City with Mia Bock.
He imdiately summoned Café Jackson and Robert to inform them of the results of his trip to Washington.
"Now, we need to make a big splash in acquiring Westinghouse’s shares, while the acquisition of General Electric’s shares must be done with utmost discretion. Do you understand?"
Donnie told the two of them.
Everyone now knows that Warburg Company plans to control Westinghouse, so when it cos to acquiring Westinghouse’s shares, there is simply no need for Donnie to be discreet.
Instead, on the General Electric side, even with Irving’s cooperation, which minimizes the other shareholders’ vigilance, it is not a guaranteed success. So Donnie intends to seize this mont, acquiring as much of General Electric’s shares as possible!
By the ti the General Electric shareholders realize what’s happening and decide to resist, it will already be too late!
Café Jackson and Robert both understood the importance of these matters and naturally expressed their understanding earnestly!
Subsequently, Donnie said to Robert, "Write a letter to General Antonio Carmona of Portugal, inviting him to co to Atlantic City!"
Donnie and Antonio Carmona had only t once, during the ti Donnie served as a diator to arrange a eting between Antonio Carmona and the senior officials of the United States.
But for people like them, maintaining a relationship is not about eting a few tis or experiencing so events; the maintenance of the relationship has only one point, which is shared interests!
Donnie’s introduction of Antonio Carmona to the senior officials of the United States was the political support that Antonio Carmona needed most. Additionally, Donnie had also supported Antonio Carmona with $5 million in funds at that ti.
