Chapter 1452: Chapter 512: Donnie’s Trump Card (Part 2)
If there were no support from United States Logistics, how could they still be called the leading monopoly in the Arican retail industry?
Trident Shipyard, the largest shipyard in the United States, but so what?
The biggest client of Trident Shipyard is the various companies under Venus Bank. If they lose Venus Bank as a client, Trident Shipyard would imdiately fall to the status of a third or fourth tier shipyard in the United States, yet still bear the burdens of a top-tier shipyard.
As for the so-called Deep Sea Bank…
Old Rockefeller admits that the current Deep Sea Bank controls everything in Florida, truly the underground ruler of Florida.
But for the recently listed companies, Donnie has kept so backup plans. Wouldn’t he have backup plans for Deep Sea Bank as well?
At least Old Rockefeller can think of several thods to achieve control and balance over Deep Sea Bank.
For example, Deep Sea Bank is too large to be controlled by one or even two conglorates. Plus, there are other conglorates involved within Deep Sea Bank. At that point, would everyone prefer to work with an uncontrollable partner or rather choose to trust Donnie once more?
Or, what if Donnie uses his relationship with Florida to and policies targeting Deep Sea Bank?
Everything is possible.
So…
“No matter what, you are already in a winning position!”
Old Rockefeller stated in a deep voice.
Donnie waved his hand modestly and said: “Not necessarily, if a financial crisis in the United States truly erupts in the second half of next year or the year after, even Venus Bank will suffer substantial losses. It would require establishing new companies in these industries, and with the damages caused by the upcoming financial crisis, the consumption is sothing even Venus Bank can barely accept.”
Old Rockefeller chuckled, not knowing whether Donnie wanted them to acquire these companies or abandon the acquisitions.
Nevertheless, Old Rockefeller said: “Block, I am imnsely grateful for you telling all this. This signifies the friendship between your family and mine. For this, I am very grateful!”
Donnie nodded. Without his reminder, under the allure of massive profits from these companies, no one would think of these issues. Only after acquiring them would they react to these matters.
In fact, even if they do think of it, it doesn’t matter. It’s like telling you if you win a five-million-dollar prize, that after winning, there will be many complications that might result in you not getting the full prize.
Would you take the gamble?
“Alright.” Old Rockefeller turned his gaze to Junior Rockefeller: “John, as I ntioned before we ca here, this matter is for you to decide. Whether to continue the acquisition or to abandon it, I am completely on your side this ti, no matter what your decision is, I will accept it all!”
This ti, it was not Old Rockefeller testing Junior Rockefeller, but truly supporting all of Junior Rockefeller’s decisions.
Old Rockefeller felt his own aging and understood he would et God sooner or later.
Everything of the Rockefeller Family must be placed on Junior Rockefeller.
Junior Rockefeller sat there with a solemn expression. Even after Donnie’s reminder, he still had thoughts about acquiring those listed companies.
People are like that, always believing they have the capability to solve all problems.
As Donnie said, even knowing Donnie has these backup plans, so what?
They can all be tackled.
Like forming their own information channels, theater chain companies, transportation networks, etc., to solve these issues.
As long as they manage to do this while digesting these companies!
“It really is a tough decision!”
Junior Rockefeller finally shook his head with a bitter smile.
Even before coming to Atlantic City, Junior Rockefeller had done a lot of analysis on this matter, but at the crucial mont, it was still difficult to make a choice.
“Mr. Block, there is sothing I would like to ask you!”
Donnie nodded and said: “Please, Mr. Rockefeller!”
Junior Rockefeller asked Donnie: “Mr. Block, what I want to ask is, if your company plans to sell the equity of these listed companies, how much of the shares do you plan to sell to us?”
Donnie and Old Rockefeller exchanged a glance, and Donnie saw a look of relief in Old Rockefeller’s eyes, while Donnie gave Old Rockefeller a look of envy.
This is yet another aspect of the matter that others wouldn’t easily notice.
Everyone thought that Venus Bank was selling these companies by directly selling all current shares to the other party.
They overlooked the fact that Venus Bank has been consistently selling off stock of these companies in the market.
Apart from Deep Sea Bank, Venus Bank actually holds absolute shares in these listed companies. But from Venus Bank’s current behavior of selling this stock, and combined with the preparations Donnie is making now,
It is certain that Donnie will not allow the groups wanting to acquire these companies to obtain a controlling stake. In this scenario, they are watching closely to see how many shares Donnie intends to sell.
As always, even knowing this is Donnie’s strategy, they have no choice but to accept with reluctance.
It’s too tempting!
Buying more from Donnie ans they would spend less in the stock market!
Currently, Donnie’s approach is setting a trap, and these people have no choice but to fall into it step by step!
It’s a very helpless feeling.
Donnie laughed and said: “Old Rockefeller, I have to admit, your education of Junior Rockefeller is spot on. If there is ti, I want to consult with you regarding education of a successor.”
Old Rockefeller laughed with a look of relief and said: “On this matter, I do have a say. If you have any ideas, Mr. Block, you can co to anyti!”
After a brief exchange, Donnie said to Junior Rockefeller: “No more than 25% of the shares!”
Junior Rockefeller sighed again, “No more than 25%, which ans that to obtain control of any listed company, we would have to pay nearly twice the budget. And that’s not the most important; the most important thing is that we have also spent more ti!”
Donnie nodded without opposing Junior Rockefeller’s statent.
“Mr. Block, I feel that we could discuss another form of cooperation!”
After saying this, Junior Rockefeller visibly relaxed, indicating that making this decision was not easy for him.
When Old Rockefeller heard Junior Rockefeller say this, he slightly closed his eyes, adopting an indifferent attitude.
“The temptation to acquire a listed company is indeed huge, but the risks are equally significant. The Rockefeller Family is not like the Block Family… so we intend to reject this temptation. However, our judgnt on the coming financial crisis remains unchanged.
However, I believe that every matter should be prepared for from both sides, and this is no exception.
Therefore, our family is willing to sell so non-core business stocks. If, as Mr. Block predicted, a financial crisis does erupt this year,
I hope your family can consider including the Rockefeller Family in your investnts!”
Donnie pondered for a mont, then said: “No problem, but the premise is whether the funds you prepare are enough to support your family through this financial crisis!”
