By then, the three brothers of the Block Family would have a strong say in the business world, political arena, and among the gangs across the United States.
At that ti, the Block Family would truly beco one of the top families in Arica.
Although Donnie had not shared his ultimate plan with Caron, the re fact of getting Caron into politics was enough to astonish him.
"But I always thought I would be working for you after I graduated?"
This was just a subconscious question from Caron, whose heart was still filled with confusion.
Donnie laughed and said, "Your entry into politics will also be a help to . Although I have so friends in the governnt now, these friendships are based on mutual interests. It is possible that we could beco enemies over greater interests at so point in the future.
But you and I are different, you're my brother, my family, and what's more important is that you are a graduate of Columbia University.
Just this alone is enough to give you a better foundation to enter the political arena than I have!"
In later years soone once asked if the United States is a society based on personal relationships!
When Donnie saw this question, he imdiately concluded that the person had never been to the United States.
In reality, a society based on personal relationships is a fundantal logic of life anywhere in the world.
In a place like the United States, a society based on personal relationships is even more important, because their social classes have been solidified. Overcoming class barriers is harder than winning a five-million-dollar lottery ticket!
The reason why Caron was able to attend Columbia University was because of the recomndation letter that Donnie obtained for him.
The reasons the Roosevelt Family, the Bush Family, and the Kennedy Family have been able to produce Presidents in succession is because of the support from other families behind them and their own families.
In the United States, university is also a very important stage for changing one's class status.
The relationships between alumni naturally bring these individuals into the sa circle!
Even though Donnie now has a good relationship with Harding and a cooperative relationship with Harry, in reality, Donnie knows that he still has not entered their core circle.
This can be seen from the fact that they co to Atlantic City just for fun and pleasure, and even Harry only joined after Donnie proposed a cooperative project.
Their true core circle is one where there is mutual exchange of what is needed.
Plans like Donnie's, envisioning the future of the Block Family in terms of a tri-faceted developnt in political, business, and criminal spheres, can actually be seen in many of Arica's super families.
The most obvious is the DuPont Family.
After the rise of the DuPont Family, they have always developed on three fronts. First of all, the DuPont Family had their own family guard. During the Arican Civil War, when the situation in the North was perilous, the DuPont Family's guard was even incorporated into the Arican military to fight against the Southern forces.
At the sa ti, the head of the DuPont Family, after reaching a certain status, would publicly give up shares in the family business and then enter the Senate, becoming a powerful legislator, while also choosing a family mber to lead the family's business ventures!
Caron at first looked worried, afraid he might not be able to et Donnie's expectations, but then that worry disappeared, and he began to get excited!
Power is always sothing a man cannot give up.
"Don't worry, Donnie, I know what to do now. I'll focus more on this aspect while I'm at school!"
Donnie also revealed a satisfied smile and said, "I'll increase your allowance in the future, so you don't have to do those part-ti jobs anymore. There's a right ti for everything."
"I understand!" Caron nodded earnestly, but then imdiately asked, "What about your logistics business?"
Donnie said, "This is the first task I'm giving you, help find so people from your school who are suitable for the job, and then persuade them to co to Atlantic City to work for us. Tell them, I'll offer them the highest pay in the United States!"
Although Caron himself wouldn't be involved in his own business affairs later on, there was no problem in helping find so people to do it!
In his conversation with Caron, Donnie also ca to trust the students from Columbia University more.
Caron said, "No problem, Columbia has all kinds of fraternities, and I'm sure I can find the right people there!"
Donnie nodded and said, "But this needs to be quick, I'll need these people in six months!"
Caron thought seriously for a mont, then said, "No problem, I will definitely find these people by then!"
Donnie then brought up the last matter with Caron, "While finding these people, I also need you to find one more person."
"Who?" Caron asked.
Donnie said, "I'm not sure who this person will be, but there are so criteria that must be t, first, this person can't have any background, second, this person must have weaknesses we can control, and finally, this person must be ambitious."
Finding such a person was actually Donnie's plan to place them in the Federal Bureau of Investigation.
Even though Hoover was now on board with him, that was just mutual exploitation, and Donnie needed to have his own man beside Hoover!
After the Federal Bureau of Investigation was formally established, they would be looking not only in the society, the military forces, military schools, but also in various universities for suitable people to join.
And based on Donnie's understanding of the later FBI, these kinds of people would have more convenience, whether in terms of promotion speed or their level of influence compared to others.
Donnie understood that Hoover was a wolf, and if he didn't put a leash on this wolf, it might end up turning on him in the end.
So Donnie needed more true allies in the FBI, only in this way could he rest easy keeping Hoover, the wolf, like he would a husky!
And Donnie wouldn't just recruit from schools, he would also arrange for so of his forr comrades to enter the FBI, to make sure nothing went wrong.
If Hoover could always cooperate honestly with him, then naturally there would be no problems, but if Hoover ever thought about turning on him, Donnie wanted to be confident that he could fight back and destroy that man!
Caron smiled bitterly, "Such a person is not easy to find!"
Donnie, however, laughed happily, "Haven't you always wanted to do things? Why do you now feel that the task is difficult?"
Caron's brows shot up, "Don't worry, I will definitely get this done."

Donnie nodded in satisfaction, "That's good, I'll wait for your good news!"
"Yeah!"
Just as the two brothers were about to finish chatting, gunshots suddenly rang out from outside. The abrupt gunshots caused Donnie to instinctively crouch under the table, and he also hastily pulled Caron down with him.
But when Donnie realized that the gunshots were only coming from outside and were random, he erged from under the table and walked out of his office with a grave expression.
When Donnie arrived at the hall of the Block Tavern, he saw that the staff and Chris and others looked as though they were watching a show, which made him less worried but more curious.
So Donnie stood at the door of the tavern, and at this ti he also understood why people in the tavern had such expressions.
Jennifer, for so reason, was shooting at old Carl as he fled in all directions.
"You old bastard, I'm going to blast you!"
