Chapter 1680: Chapter 626: The Funeral (Part 2)
Let them understand that marrying into the Block Family is definitely a worthwhile deal!
Andrew llon’s vigil lasted for two days.
The descendants of the llon Family adhered to Andrew llon’s wishes and did not hold a parade but discreetly took Andrew llon’s body to the cetery chosen for him long ago!
By this ti, many had already left, leaving behind Andrew llon’s intimate friends and family.
Donnie was even one of Andrew llon’s pallbearers.
When Andrew llon’s coffin was buried, the atmosphere was heavy on-site.
.
“Block, I know you don’t want to be involved in the operations of the llon Consortium, but you should make an appearance!”
After Andrew llon’s funeral ended, William llon approached Donnie.
Regardless, Donnie is now the vice president and director of the llon Consortium.
It makes sense for him to make a visit to the llon Consortium!
“Alright, I’ll go over with you at that ti!”
Donnie agreed to William llon’s request.
“One more thing, David Bruce had approached earlier, hoping for a loan of 3 million US Dollars from the llon Bank. What do you think about this matter?”
William llon looked seriously at Donnie.
A 3 million US Dollar loan isn’t much for llon Bank, but the identity of the borrower is quite sensitive.
Evidently, William llon had already learned so details about David Bruce from Andrew llon.
From both a sentintal and procedural standpoint, William llon doesn’t want to give this loan to David Bruce.
However, if he doesn’t give it to David Bruce, it might spark speculation.
With Andrew llon just laid to rest, if William llon denied David Bruce’s loan, who knows what rumors might erge!
Donnie pondered for a mont and laughed, saying: “Simple, as long as David Bruce can provide complete and legal docunts, there’s no reason for llon Bank not to grant him this loan!”
William llon understood Donnie’s aning; David Bruce’s current business isn’t doing well.
It’s not easy for him to produce enough collateral assets.
Unless he uses the shared assets with Elza llon.
But at this ti, would David Bruce do sothing so foolish?
If so, all the positive image he had with Elza llon would be gone!
Donnie was also planning to leave Pittsburgh; he intended to return to Atlantic City first, then head to New York for the llon Consortium’s eting.
Unexpectedly, the night before Donnie planned to leave, David Bruce sought him out.
“Mr. Block, I’ve always wanted to have a good chat, but too many things ca up recently, and today I finally found the ti!”
Upon eting Donnie, David Bruce wore a smile.
Donnie laughed, saying: “I understand; Mr. Bruce, being Andrew’s son-in-law, we’ve all observed your actions recently!”
David Bruce’s behavior during this ti has perfectly aligned with his current role.
No faults could be found.
“This is sothing we ought to do!” David Bruce spoke modestly.
Then, David Bruce explained his purpose.
“I know Mr. Block’s Venus Bank has plenty of business in Europe. Coincidentally, I personally have so business in Europe as well.
I’ve always had great admiration for Mr. Block. If I could collaborate with Venus Bank’s European business, it would be my honor!”
Donnie didn’t directly refuse David Bruce; he simply asked while sitting on the sofa.
“I’m curious, what kind of businesses does Mr. Bruce have in Europe?”
Seeing Donnie interested in discussing these matters, David Bruce was overjoyed.
He believed the issues with his European businesses weren’t due to a lack of ability.
It was rely the unfavorable larger environnt!
If he could now collaborate with Venus Bank and get the 3 million US Dollar loan from llon Bank, his European business would be revitalized!
“I engage in trade, mostly in weapons, pharmaceuticals, and so daily necessities…”
David Bruce introduced his European business to Donnie.
Donnie smiled; David Bruce indeed has an eye for business. Europe might not be in complete chaos, but close to it.
Weapons and pharmaceuticals are indeed excellent products.
But what use is a sharp eye if he can’t turn his business around?
This suggests two possibilities: David Bruce is either deceiving him about his business ventures, or there’s soone advising him behind the scenes.
After hearing Andrew llon’s opinions, Donnie specifically had soone investigate David Bruce’s European business.
Consequently, Donnie knew David Bruce hadn’t been involved in weapons or pharmaceuticals prior.
Whether he has soone advising him now was unclear, except this advisor couldn’t be Andrew llon.
“Mr. Bruce, given the relationship between the Block and llon families, collaborating with you is possible…”
Upon hearing this, David Bruce grew even happier.
“However, Ares Military Industry and Frigga Pharmaceuticals both have their own cooperative channels in Europe, and I don’t partake in their specific businesses, so I can’t agree to this!”
“But, I can give you the contacts of the Ares Military Industry and Frigga Pharmaceuticals presidents, and whether or not a deal is reached is up to you!”
Just monts ago, a delighted David Bruce now wore a disappointed expression.
“Mr. Block, you’re their boss; isn’t it your decision whether or not to collaborate with ?”
Donnie was now starting to doubt Elza llon’s judgnt.
He also began questioning whether David Bruce’s previous reputation as a promising young talent was due to marrying Elza llon or money!
How could he utter such foolish words?
“Mr. Bruce, you’re also in business managent, and should fully understand that professional matters should be handled by professionals. Saying such things only makes doubt your company’s operational status!”
“My company’s operations are just fine!” David Bruce subconsciously exclaid.
Donnie leaned back on the sofa, indifferent to David Bruce’s attitude.
His most crucial identity is as the son-in-law of the llon Family; if he forgets that, he won’t succeed.
Ultimately, Donnie didn’t agree to David Bruce’s request.
David Bruce left Donnie’s room with anger simring inside him.
What followed was an incident that made him even more furious.
William llon approached David Bruce to inform him of his discussion outcos with Donnie.
David Bruce grew increasingly enraged.
If he could produce 3 million US Dollars in collateral or related business docunts, would he need to apply for a loan from William llon?
“Dear, this is the successor my father chose, the overseer, and William llon hasn’t even left Pittsburgh yet. He’s already lecturing on rules?
Donnie is even more unreasonable; all I did was propose collaboration for mutual benefits, and he replies with pleasantries?”
Back in his own room, David Bruce vented to Elza llon.
Elza llon watched David Bruce calmly, with a tinge of sadness in her expression.
“Do you rember how long it’s been since you called dear?”
David Bruce’s face changed as he considered his situation; he imdiately said: “Dear, I’ve been annoyed with business matters, so I didn’t notice neglecting you. But you should know my feelings for you!”
Elza llon smiled sorrowfully and said: “Your feelings for , are they because of as a person or because of the inheritance my father left ?”
David Bruce dissatisfiedly said: “Are you doubting ?”
Elza llon shook her head and said: “Then what do you expect to do now?
Should I turn to William llon or Donnie Block?”
