Chapter 1038: 355. Acquisition of Portugal’s central bank
The “Atlantic City Post” was the first newspaper in the United States to report on the situation in Portugal.
However, at the beginning, the Arican public did not pay much attention to this matter, rely using Portugal’s fake currency scandal as a topic to mock Portugal’s financial chaos.
“Look, a small country is still a small country, they even let people forge checks, and even managed to produce real fake currency!”
This was the general sentint among the Arican public.
In fact, during this era, the United States was not lacking in cases of forged checks, but these were not significant enough to make a stir. Plus, with dia guidance, the Arican public always believed their check system was secure.
It wasn’t until the sixties, with the appearance of the great Arican con artist Frank Abagnale, that Aricans realized their check system was quite vulnerable.
Later, Hollywood brought Frank Abagnale’s story to the big screen, directed by the famous director Spielberg, with Leonardo DiCaprio, still a fresh face, and the seasoned Tom Hanks starring in “Catch If You Can!”
Alves Reis was quickly exposed in Lisbon. At this ti, the Portuguese people realized that a hundred million Escudos, which could be considered real currency, had actually appeared on the market. Pushed by so force, the anger of the Portuguese people began to erupt as they started to besiege the Bank of Portugal and the Portuguese governnt in Lisbon.
At this point, the “Atlantic City Post” began to focus its reporting on the dostic situation in Portugal!
This kind of reporting started to attract more Aricans to pay attention to that small country across the ocean.
When the anger of the Portuguese people reached a peak, Antonio Carmona began to take action.
He led his troops to assault Lisbon!
All of this was reported by the “Atlantic City Post”!
Only then did the Arican public understand that they might witness a country’s military coup firsthand!
This matter caught the attention of the entire nation!
“Although the matter in Portugal is significant, it shouldn’t attract so many Aricans, right?”
In the garden of the seaside estate in Atlantic City, Donnie and Helen sat on wicker chairs. Helen looked slightly puzzled at the “Atlantic City Post” in her hand and asked Donnie.
Donnie smiled and said, “Because the Arican public has always been guided by the ‘Atlantic City Post’, the Portuguese affair is like a fantasy novel, with Portugal as the protagonist. They are slowly leveling up from a simple fake currency case to a nationwide ard coup. Arican readers have seen the whole process in the ‘Atlantic City Post’, and the more people discuss it, the more it naturally draws in those around them!”
In Europe, Portugal is just a small country. Aricans have always been proud and their eyes are usually on the United Kingdom, France, Germany, or even Spain and Italy; it’s hard for them to focus on Portugal!
Helen was slightly stunned, then suddenly laughed, “I see, you’re deliberately guiding their thoughts?”
Donnie did not deny it and nodded, “That’s right, I want to see what kind of influence the ‘Atlantic City Post’ already has in the United States!”
Helen laughed, “It’s obvious your idea succeeded!”
Donnie smiled with satisfaction, “I think so!”
Helen asked, “When do you think the situation in Portugal will be resolved?”
Donnie explained, “By now, Antonio Carmona’s army should have arrived in Lisbon, and it should be resolved within one or two days!”
“What about Bobby Mozelle?” Helen continued to ask.
“Bobby Mozelle has now completed the acquisition of the tropolitan Bank of Angola. After the fake currency scandal broke out, Alves Reis’s partners either ran away or escaped. When hearing soone wanted to buy shares of the tropolitan Bank of Angola, they sold them without even asking for the price. Now, only Alves Reis is left.
I estimate that after Antonio Carmona takes control of Lisbon, he will arrest Alves Reis imdiately, and then the tropolitan Bank of Angola will be sold to Bobby Mozelle through Antonio Carmona’s interim governnt. At that ti, they can begin the process of acquiring the Bank of Portugal!”
At that ti, with Portugal in chaos, no one will pay attention to this matter. The shareholders of the Bank of Portugal will be thinking about how to ensure their safety during the coup.
After hearing Donnie’s words, Helen nodded and then said, “So does that an you won’t have much to do during this period?”
It was only then that Donnie realized Helen had asked so many questions, she must have so ideas!
“What do you want to do?”
“Michael is already a year old now. I think it’s ti for to do sothing!”
Helen said to Donnie.
“WRPA can’t satisfy you anymore?” Donnie asked with a smile.
Since Harding’s death, South Brenton had given WRPA to Helen. Helen had already fully taken charge of WRPA now, even when Michael was still young, Helen had started managing WRPA again in Atlantic City!
Helen didn’t hide anything from Donnie, nodding, “Now WRPA is entirely under my control. Staying at WRPA doesn’t offer any more prospects for developnt!”
With Donnie’s financial support for WRPA, it has now beco the largest won’s rights organization in the United States!
