Germany, the entrance to the Warburg estate in Hamburg City was enveloped in a strange calm.
Everyone knew that although the incident happened here, the true decision regarding this matter was being made elsewhere.
Ramon Moody stood beside his superior, Germ Shelman, with his head lowered, feeling utterly helpless in his heart.
Originally, he thought that everything would be resolved with his arrival.
Only now did Ramon Moody realize he had underestimated the complexity of the situation and had even offended his boss.
Daglan Rothschild approached Germ Shelman. Though he dared not be arrogant towards Steve Cotting, it didn’t stop him from being arrogant in front of Germ Shelman.
"Shelman, I never thought you’d have such courage. Do you know what kind of people the Warburg Family is facing right now? It’s not just our Rothschild Family!"
Germ Shelman continued wiping the sweat from his forehead, helplessly saying, "Mr. Rothschild, although I’m just a small figure, I’m aware of the events of late. Don’t you find the current situation a bit strange?"
Daglan Rothschild paused for a mont and asked, "What do you an?"
Germ Shelman softly explained, "Previously, countless Jewish rchants visited the Warburg Family every day, but today not one has co, only your Rothschild Family. Don’t you find that odd?"
Daglan Rothschild was slightly taken aback, then dismissively said, "What’s so strange about it? These people are surely waiting for our Rothschild Family to respond to the situation."
"You’re truly naive. So people have invested all their assets in the Warburg Family’s business; with the money gone, who cares about your Rothschild Family then!" Germ Shelman thought helplessly but still smiled and said, "There is a reason for that, but I happen to know an even more crucial reason!"
"What reason?" Daglan Rothschild imdiately asked, not truly foolish, just accustod to simplifying difficult matters with the Rothschild Family’s influence. After Germ Shelman’s reminder, Daglan Rothschild realized things might not be so simple.
"Because the United States’ Venus Bank is not the only one involved in this matter; I’ve heard Morgan has made a move too!"
Germ Shelman shared the information he knew with Daglan Rothschild.
Daglan Rothschild’s face changed instantly. If that’s the case, then the matter is truly difficult to handle.
While Venus Bank is a very powerful consortium in the United States, its business in Europe is limited; even if influential, it’s not very extensive. Morgan, however, is different from Venus Bank. During the First World War, Morgan leveraged its position as a global creditor, establishing very close relations with the governnts of various European countries.
If this is indeed the case, Daglan Rothschild understood the crux of the situation. No wonder Steve Cotting dared to be so bold!
.
United States, New York, Morgan!
At this ti, Jack Morgan received a call from old Rothschild.
"Mr. Morgan, is Morgan planning to abandon its friendship with the Rothschild Family?"
On the call, Rothschild did not engage in any small talk, imdiately asking the question, showing that Rothschild was very angry at this mont!
Although old Rothschild was not in Hamburg City, he was even more aware of the situation there than Daglan Rothschild, and he also knew about Morgan’s involvent.
Jack Morgan casually said, "Morgan and Rothschild’s friendship is everlasting, but Mr. Rothschild, do you wish for Morgan to abandon tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of US Dollars in interests and forsake cooperation with Venus Bank?"
Jack Morgan was not surprised by the call from old Rothschild. If he were in Rothschild’s position, his reaction would probably be even stronger.
With Venus Bank seizing the Warburg Family’s assets in Germany, it was effectively stealing from the Rothschild Family, which is sothing the Rothschild Family could never accept.
"Mr. Morgan, are you so certain that the Florida business will reach that scale? Don’t forget Donnie Block’s character, he is extrely greedy and ruthless. As the in-law of the Warburg Family, he is plotting against their business, and in the future, whether it’s your business in Florida or Germany, Donnie Block will definitely slowly erode your shares!"
Old Rothschild needed Morgan’s support. Originally, even without the strength of other Jewish rchants in Germany, the Rothschild Family could easily crush Venus Bank.
But with Donnie’s sly sche involving the Quanter Family and the Krupp Family, it beca very difficult for the Rothschild Family to handle on its own, so at this mont, old Rothschild needed support from other forces.
Just at this ti, Morgan also got involved. Nobody knew what price Donnie had paid, but he managed to get Morgan to help Venus Bank fend off these forces.
