Capítulo 1646: Chapter 609: Everything Is for Profit_2
“Father!”
Juan Alfonso sat next to Alfonso XIII and then recounted to him the conversation he had with Donnie.
“You’re still too young, I’ve told you before, Donnie Block won’t help you!”
Alfonso XIII’s voice was sowhat slow, seeming like it could interrupt at any ti.
Before Juan Alfonso went to see Donnie, he had already co to Alfonso XIII.
At that ti, Alfonso XIII had already told Juan Alfonso that Donnie would definitely not support them in competing with the rebels for power at this ti!
“I thought we were already friends with Donnie Block!”
Juan Alfonso said sowhat discouraged.
“Of course we are friends!” Alfonso XIII said confidently.
Juan Alfonso looked at Alfonso XIII with confusion.
Alfonso XIII sighed, “I’m now very thankful that we transferred a portion of our assets to Breton Bank back then, which is what allows us to have the life we have now.
But Juan, you should understand that we are friends with the Block Family, do you not think Franco and Donnie are also friends?
I even think the high officials of the republican governnt are friends with Block too!”
Juan Alfonso asked incredulously, “How could he do that?”
Alfonso XIII retorted, “Why can’t Block do that?
During the years of the republican governnt, did you see Block’s business in Spain being affected?”
Juan Alfonso fell into contemplation; when his father was still the King of Spain, Block’s business had already entered Spain.
When the rebels were triumphant at the ti, Alfonso XIII took the royal family mbers and fled to Atlantic City.
Back then, they were focused on surviving in a foreign environnt, and didn’t pay attention to the affairs within Spain.
But when they gained a foothold in Atlantic City and looked back at the situation in Spain, they found that Block’s industry, which they thought would collapse with their departure from Spain, was still thriving in Spain!
At the ti, Juan Alfonso simply believed that Block’s business was due to him being an Arican.
Now, hearing Alfonso XIII speak like this, he had a different thought.
“Father, are you saying Donnie Block has investnts on both sides?”
Juan Alfonso asked.
Alfonso XIII nodded, “If I were Donnie Block, I would do the sa!”
Juan Alfonso didn’t know what to say for a mont, but he felt a sense of betrayal!
Alfonso XIII turned to look at Juan Alfonso, comforting him.
“Don’t feel like Block has betrayed us, he is our friend, but at the sa ti, he is a businessman.
And on the friend’s level, he hasn’t wronged us.
At that ti, the rebels held the advantage, Block rely made the most correct choice for his identity, but he didn’t abandon us, preserved our wealth, and secured our status in the United States.
The current situation is actually the sa as it was back then.
Now, the rebels clearly have more advantage in winning this civil war, and naturally, Donnie will support them.
What about us?
We only have so assets and a na with no real power.
To put it bluntly, if we were sowhere else, we would have long been fattened for the local governnt, Block at least gave us dignity.
Moreover, in this matter, Donnie didn’t deceive you, we are not opponents to the rebels, the only thing we can do is what Block said!”
Juan Alfonso couldn’t help asking: “According to what you said, Father, isn’t Block too complicated?”
“Complicated?” Alfonso XIII laughed and shook his head: “Not complicated at all, Block always maintains only one thing, his own interests.
At first, he was our ally for the expansion of his business in Spain.
Lately, he was an ally with the rebels, also for his business.
And he ensured our safety, wealth, and reputation, which is also a demonstration to the world of the safety of Breton Bank, do you know how much secret wealth was transferred to Breton Bank after we ca to Atlantic City?
Now he supports the rebels led by Franco, similarly for the safety of his business in Spain.
So his starting point is always for his own interests.
However, there is one thing that I admire!”
Alfonso XIII paused for a mont when he reached this point.
Juan Alfonso asked: “What is it?”
“Block’s attitude towards us, and the things he told you today.
To be honest, at this point, the Alfonso family has no use to Block.
But Block still gave you that advice, preventing you from making foolish actions, so I say, Block is a friend to the Alfonso family.
He gave us the most sincere advice without violating his interests.
This is already a good friend!”
Juan Alfonso still said with so dissatisfaction: “He also worries about us going back and causes trouble for Franco and the others!”
“Haha!”
Alfonso XIII sneered and said: “You would believe, if you really go back to Spanish soil alone, without waiting for the next day, you’d die mysteriously on Spanish soil.
Do you think Franco and them are doing what? They’re overturning a country’s regi.
In such circumstances, any accident is unacceptable for them.”
Juan Alfonso said nothing.
Alfonso XIII’s voice also beca calm: “My body can no longer keep up, and I don’t know how many more years I can live, the future is yours.
I hope you can understand one thing.
Never betray the friendship with the Block Family, it’s not just Block’s actions in this matter.
But because of Block’s influence.
It’s not an exaggeration to say, that now Donnie Block has the ability to subvert world situations, and you can carefully study the developnt of Venus Bank.
As long as Block is alive, Venus Bank’s developnt will get better day by day.
Additionally, Donnie Block’s younger brother Caron Block is now steadily rising, if nothing unexpected happens, he will definitely take over the White House in the future.
To be honest, I can’t even imagine what existence Venus Bank will beco in ten or twenty years.
Such an existence, not to ntion our current situation, even if we return to Spain, we cannot resist such power!”
Juan Alfonso sighed, although he could accept Alfonso XIII’s words, he still felt uncomfortable.
Young people still hope for purer emotions between people.
Alfonso XIII could see the inner thoughts of Juan Alfonso, and knew that it’s not easy for a young person to accept such emotions suddenly.
“Let tell you one more thing!”
“What is it?”
Juan Alfonso asked.
Alfonso XIII said: “If you have a son, try to have him marry a girl from the Block Family, then your relationship with Block changes from friends to family.
Previously Block told that the dictatorial governnt is difficult to maintain continuity, I don’t know if our family still has the hope to return to Spain, but having this hope definitely won’t work without Block’s help.
To Block, the relationship between friends and family is completely different.”
Juan Alfonso pondered for a mont and nodded: “I understand, as long as the Alfonso family is still in this world, then we have a chance to return to Spain.
And Block is the ally we must strive for!”
Alfonso XIII nodded, “I have told you everything I can tell, I hope you consider my suggestion seriously.
Having more contact with Block is not bad for you!”
Juan Alfonso suddenly said: “Father, I want to work at Venus Bank!”
Alfonso XIII’s cloudy eyes sparkled with a hint of brightness, then he showed a pleased smile!
