Jack Morgan and the others nodded; they had all calculated these matters!
Donnie continued to speak: "This money cannot be invested all at once; there must be a process. I estimate the first phase will be around five to six hundred million. Considering the premise of our cooperation, Venus Bank can fully undertake this amount. Of course, this money will also be converted into shares of the new company!"
Upon hearing Donnie’s statent, Jack Morgan and the others felt a sting in their gums. Although everyone had already acknowledged and admitted that in this matter, they would recognize the leadership position of Venus Bank.
But before this, they had already paid a considerable price, and Donnie still wanted to convert this entire amount into shares of the new company, which seed a bit greedy.
"Block, you’re being a bit too greedy!" Jack Morgan said. "Firstly, we have to help you jointly deal with the Woburg Family’s enemies in Europe and Arica. Secondly, we have given you shares and benefits. Now you still want to fully count this money as shares of the new company, which we cannot accept!"
Andrew llon and Pierre DuPont imdiately nodded in agreent with Jack Morgan’s words. Although Walker Astor did not show the sa gesture, it was evident that he leaned more towards Jack Morgan’s words. This was not about their friendship but purely business considerations.
Donnie smiled and said, "Gentlen, are you misunderstanding sothing? The previous terms were the conditions for you to join this plan. Moreover, you should also understand that even without your involvent, Venus Bank could still complete this series of plans; it would rely take a longer ti."
But don’t forget, in that case, Venus Bank would monopolize Florida’s interests!"
Jack Morgan waved his hand and said: "Block, you can’t say that. Although we cannot provide you with funding support in the early stages, we are all aware of the political situation in Florida. Given your current status in the Republican Party, the Democratic Party’s governance in Florida would at most offer you so support initially. Once they recover and stabilize, your resistance will beco enormous!"
Donnie remained unfazed: "Mr. Morgan, let’s not use these rhetorical tricks. I admit that what you said might happen, but the developnt of the whole matter could also follow another path favorable to us, which you didn’t ntion."
Jack Morgan’s expression slightly changed, knowing that Donnie wouldn’t be so easily dealt with.
Donnie continued: "As long as the new company can gain a foothold in Florida, then Venus Bank will beco an unignorable force in Florida. By that ti, whether it’s the Republican or the Democratic Party, they will need the support of the new consortium, and the choice will be ours!"
At this point, Andrew llon spoke up: "Block, you haven’t been honest either. What you ntioned could indeed succeed, but you didn’t say how low the probability of such a success is. According to your words, if Venus Bank really establishes a new company in Florida and gains a high level of influence,
then Venus Bank will beco a massive political entity. If it’s just your Venus Bank, do you think this will succeed?"
Jack Morgan and Pierre DuPont smiled; that was the Achilles’ heel of Venus Bank.
It was also the fundantal leverage they could use to negotiate with Donnie!
However, the smiles on their faces did not last long because they noticed that Donnie had not changed his smile due to this matter.
"Mr. llon, you’re certainly right, but who said you are my only partners!"
Donnie’s words caused the faces of several people on the scene to change suddenly. They couldn’t imagine which other consortium could join them in this business and help Donnie solve his current problems.
"Block, are you intentionally saying this?"
Jack Morgan looked at Donnie suspiciously.
Donnie laughed: "How could that be, my dear Morgan? You know , and I never fight unprepared battles. Actually, if everyone is willing to cooperate, among our partners, apart from those present, there are also Robert Taft and Franklin Roosevelt, but you don’t have to worry; their shares in the new company will be consolidated by another of my companies!"
As Donnie said, he never fought without preparation in anything he did. He would rather sacrifice so of his own interests to achieve the most perfect result.
Thus, while Jack Morgan and others were contacting Donnie, Donnie also reached out to William Howard Taft and Franklin Roosevelt.
William Howard Taft was one of the leaders of the United States Republican Party, and he naturally wouldn’t co forward himself, so Robert Taft joined the business on behalf of the Taft Family.
For the past two years, Franklin Roosevelt had been recuperating at a spa, but as his health improved, he had started actively reconnecting his forr networks.
Therefore, even though Franklin Roosevelt’s position in the Democratic Party did not match William Howard Taft’s in the Republican Party, his influence in this matter was already sufficient.
The reason Donnie did this was to more tightly bind the Taft Family and the Roosevelt Family to his own ship of strategy.
