Capítulo 1659: Chapter 616: This Is Just the Tip of Donnie’s Power
After the General Motors Plant Four was breached by the strikers.
Donnie invited Governor Murphy and Mayor Simon Harrison to the hotel where he was staying once again.
Donnie sat on the sofa, crossing his legs, holding a cigar in his hand, placed atop his knee, calmly looking at the two sitting opposite him.
“Gentlen, even now, are you still trying not to offend either side?”
Despite being surrounded by Security Departnt personnel, the nurous strikers ultimately encountered no resistance and rushed in.
Not only did they rush in, but they also left smoothly.
If Donnie believed that the Security Departnt had done their best to block them, then Donnie wouldn’t have achieved what he has today.
So there’s only one explanation for this—Governor Murphy and Mayor Simon Harrison didn’t want the impact of this incident to expand.
So they tacitly approved its occurrence.
Governor Murphy and Mayor Simon Harrison looked sowhat awkward, though this incident ultimately took place in Flint City.
Eventually, Mayor Simon Harrison spoke: “Mr. Block, this is a conflict involving thousands of people. If it’s not controlled, it could easily lead to a large-scale bloodshed, and we’d be in even more trouble!”
Donnie nodded and said: “So you watch them breach General Motors’ public property, watch them continue to demonstrate their determination to General Motors?
Is that it?”
“I…” Simon Harrison didn’t know how to answer Donnie’s question for a mont.
Donnie’s face grew stern, saying: “Mr. Harrison, your actions disappoint , and they make believe that in this conflict, you chose to stand before your electorate and forsake your yearly hundreds of thousands of US Dollars in inco.
Our cooperation ends here!”
With Donnie’s words, both Governor Murphy and Simon Harrison were stunned.
General Motors, as Michigan’s largest automotive manufacturer, is also the economic pillar of the entire Michigan.
Venus Bank is said to hold very strong rights here.
But there’s a tacitly observed agreent between Venus Bank and the city halls of various cities in Michigan.
That is, maintaining the transfer of interests between General Motors and Michigan’s state governnt and city halls, with Michigan and its city halls protecting General Motors’ interests here.
And General Motors respects their authority.
“Mr. Block, this isn’t New Jersey, Texas, nor California!”
Simon Harrison said sowhat displeased.
After all, he was Flint City’s mayor, elected by Flint City’s citizens, not that he must be accountable to them, but to express to Donnie, if you wish to end our relationship.
Then all the conveniences General Motors enjoys in Flint City will vanish.
Donnie sneered coldly: “Harrison, are you threatening ?
Do you even realize how big Venus Bank’s business is in xico? Don’t overestimate your importance; you were placed in this position because you were obedient.
If you don’t comply, General Motors could close its factories in Flint City any ti, move out production equipnt, and then near ten thousand people in Flint City would lose their jobs. Do you think your electorate would still support you then?
If they don’t tear you apart, you’d be lucky!”
Simon Harrison’s face showed a sudden fright, but soon he felt Donnie was threatening him.
Relocating General Motors’ factories in Flint City isn’t as simple as saying it; it involves transporting machinery, training workers, and all sorts of tedious procedures.
If relocation truly occurred, the resulting losses would be unpredictable.
But even if Tang Fei was rely threatening him, Simon Harrison was scared.
He knew Donnie Block’s influence.
This was certainly not just a bluff!
At this mont, Governor Murphy tried to diate: “Mr. Block, don’t be upset. No matter what, we are on your side!”
Donnie didn’t spare Murphy’s feelings: “On my side, yet watching my factory’s interests suffer losses. Murphy, is this how you stand by !”
Murphy and Simon Harrison were a bit surprised; in their mory, Donnie Block had always been a gentleman and very friendly to them.
But today, Donnie’s assertiveness felt unfamiliar to them.
“Mr. Block, we admit that there indeed was so selfishness involved in this incident, but you should also allow us so selfishness, as these people almost represent Michigan’s lower and middle classes!”
Murphy maintained his smile in the face of Donnie’s rebuke because he had to.
Power is relative.
To ordinary people, and even to most United States officials, including those in the White House, the US political system gives Murphy confidence to maintain an equal attitude with others.
But not when facing Donnie!
Michigan’s ability to beco an economic powerhouse in the United States is due to its automobile industry.
Arica’s big three automotive brands, General Motors, Ford, Cadillac.
Two of them are under the wings of Venus Bank.
If they truly offended Donnie, Murphy didn’t know what Michigan would beco, but he was very clear that his political career would definitely be over.
