Chapter 1682: Chapter 627: llon Consortium Issues (Part 2)
Seeing that Elza llon fell silent, Donnie also stopped speaking.
The two of them turned their faces to watch the scenery outside the train flying by.
After a long ti, Elza llon suddenly said, “Block, I haven’t truly experienced happiness for a long ti!”
Donnie looked at Elza llon. She was already 36 years old this year, but due to good maintenance, she seed to be only around 30.
In her youth, Elza llon could attract countless affluent admirers, not only because of her family’s background.
She also had an enchanting beauty.
“I’m more than willing to let you feel genuine happiness, Elza!”
And so, Donnie and Elza llon ended up getting together on the train, and Donnie took Elza llon back to his compartnt.
With these events to pass the ti, their journey to Atlantic City wouldn’t be lonely.
As for what happened between Donnie and Elza llon, everyone actually understood that this was just a fleeting romance.
When the train arrived in Atlantic City, the two returned to the state they were in before boarding.
Donnie arranged for soone to send the llon siblings to their residence.
While Donnie himself returned to Venus Tower to convene a small high-level eting.
The executives of Venus Bank had already learned that Donnie assud the position of vice president and director of the llon Consortium.
To them, they didn’t have a deep connection with Andrew llon.
So soone at the eting bluntly asked Donnie.
“Boss, can we already consider rging the llon Consortium into Venus Bank?”
If Venus Bank could acquire the llon Consortium.
Then Venus Bank would perfectly control the United States from then on.
Donnie waved his hand and said, “No need for such thoughts, we also have no intention of rging the llon Consortium.
When conducting business, everyone should maintain the usual attitude, cooperate when necessary, compete when necessary, and don’t factor my identity into it!”
Acquiring the llon Consortium for Venus Bank wouldn’t be a lifeline, at most, it would be icing on the cake.
However, if they acquired the llon Consortium, it would bring many adverse effects to Donnie.
Now everyone knows, Donnie and Andrew llon are steadfast allies.
Andrew llon entrusted the stability of the llon Family to Donnie before he passed away.
If Donnie took advantage of this opportunity to acquire the llon Consortium, it would leave many of Donnie’s allies feeling uneasy, worried that their future industries might be acquired by Donnie.
This, for Donnie, would be unfavorable.
However, there was no need to explain these things to the Venus Bank executives, just make them understand the current situation!
Seeing Donnie’s firm attitude, everyone said no more.
After handling the consortium’s affairs, Donnie returned to his manor and found Elza llon visiting Alice with her daughter.
The two were chatting and laughing, and upon seeing Donnie, greeted him as usual.
After resting in Atlantic City for two days.
Donnie set off for New York to attend the eting of the llon Consortium.
This was a full session of the llon Consortium eting.
Thus, the heads of the llon Consortium’s various groups also arrived in New York.
It was Donnie’s first ti attending another consortium’s eting as a vice president.
But during the eting, Donnie did not make any speeches.
Only greeted everyone when llon introduced his new identity.
However, Donnie could tell that quite a few people were not satisfied with his current position.
In fact, William llon had already been managing the llon Consortium for so ti.
But at that ti Andrew llon was still around, even if he didn’t appear publicly, everyone knew there was an Andrew llon above William llon.
Now that Andrew llon has passed away, William llon seed to have accepted the llon Consortium peacefully.
But Donnie could still see the undercurrents in the conference room.
This undercurrent erged during the one-on-one conversation between Donnie and William llon in the office.
“It seems so people’s thoughts have begun to change!”
William llon shed his authoritative deanor and now had a faint look of worry.
As ntioned before, as long as Andrew llon was alive, even if he was just lying on a sickbed, to many people, he was still a formidable deterrent.
The groups under the llon Consortium didn’t have the courage to oppose William llon.
But now it’s different, Andrew llon has passed away.
His influence naturally no longer exists.
The Arican enterprises have this major issue, at least that’s how it seems to Donnie.
That is the managent team has a very large authority, which can even make the company owner unable to handle.
During the initial phase of the internet era in the East, dostic internet companies sought Arican capital financing.
This directly resulted in many internet companies from that period losing all control to these venture capital firms.
The founders instead ended up being ousted by them!
After a long period of exploration, Eastern companies developed a veto system…not really a new thing.
This was a managent chanism created by so Arican founders to curb excessive interventions by venture capital firms.
Just in Arica, these instances are very few, whereas they are abundant in the East.
Now the llon Consortium’s situation is like this; with Andrew llon’s passing, many’s inner ambition becos uncontrollable.
They don’t want to be controlled by the llon Consortium anymore, seeking independence.
This is the first issue encountered by William llon officially taking over the llon Consortium.
“This was expected, but indeed the problem within is very complex, if heavy asures can’t be implented, then a gradual approach is the only option!”
Donnie also identified the problem William llon had to face.
This is the difference between a founder and a successor.
Donnie established Venus Bank, and at Venus Bank, he possesses supre authority.
No matter which group managent dare to vie for power with Venus Bank, Donnie can easily crush them.
But William llon is different.
Firstly, he doesn’t have the prestige at the llon Consortium that Donnie has at Venus Bank; even if he wants to use heavy asures, the opposition below can make him frantic!
Secondly, the control of group companies under the llon Consortium is not as absolute as Venus Bank’s control over group companies.
Lastly, William llon doesn’t have Donnie’s boldness!
“Looks like it’s going to be a long battle!”
William llon apparently has no desire to consider the possibility of resolving these issues with heavy asures!
Donnie nodded, had no objection, as aforentioned, the llon Consortium belongs to the llon Family, Donnie won’t interfere excessively!
“There is sothing else you should pay attention to!”
Donnie reminded William llon.
William llon asked, “What is it?”
“It’s your people, since you don’t want the llon Consortium to experience significant turmoil, you must manage your people well, ensure they don’t think that due to you becoming the consortium chairman, they can receive more benefits; appropriate benefits can be given, but don’t let them beco overly arrogant, or it will complicate your difficulty in restructuring the consortium plan!”
During the recent eting, Donnie already perceived a wave of people being extrely arrogant, Donnie wasn’t certain if they were always this arrogant or had just begun now, but Donnie could see more people were dissatisfied with their arrogance!
“Make them continue working for you, but don’t let them believe they are indispensable to you!”
Donnie reminded William llon again!
William llon reminisced about the recent situation and nodded, “I understand!”
