Chapter 782: 268, Tarot Society starts to exert its strength_2
“So, for Morgan and llon, the best scenario is still to maintain the status quo, and since their interests align with ours, I believe that they will stand with us on this matter!”
After Breton’s explanation, Madeline finally truly understood the intentions of the three of them.
At this ti, Dick said to Laze Madison and Archie Roosevelt, “Gentlen, Morgan might be easier to deal with, but the problem with llon is more significant. Donnie has deep ties with Andrew llon, and I’m worried that on this matter, Andrew llon might forsake the interests of llon Bank and choose to side with Donnie.”
“Personally, I have no connection with llon, so I must entrust one of you two to discuss this matter with llon.”
Preserving Dick’s interests in Breton Bank had beco a shared responsibility for the three of them. Without hesitation, both Laze Madison and Archie Roosevelt decided, and ultimately, Archie Roosevelt stated,
“I’ll go. I have a good relationship with William. I will explain the situation to him, and I believe he can persuade Andrew llon!”
“Then we’ll leave this matter to you, Al. Laze and I will contact Morgan’s people!”
Dick said earnestly.
Archie Roosevelt waved his hand and said, “It’s also for our common benefit!”
The three of them had a clear division of labor and imdiately set into action!
.
In Atlantic City, on Donnie’s end,
While Dick and the others were busily strategizing, Donnie himself hadn’t taken any action. After Dick had turned down his takeover bid for Breton Bank, Donnie continued his daily life and work as if nothing had happened.
However, because Dick and his colleagues had started to take action, Donnie’s routine did not last long.
Soon, the first visitor arrived in Atlantic City.
“If I’m not mistaken, you’re here to persuade, aren’t you, William?”
Donnie greeted William llon with a smile and a handshake.
William llon showed a wry smile and said, “Donnie, your actions this ti are truly impressive, but they’re not easy!”
Donnie simply said, “There’s nothing that can’t be done if one is determined enough. Anyway, that’s not important right now. What I want to know is, what’s llon’s stance on this matter?”
William llon did not imdiately respond to Donnie’s question but instead inquired, “Donnie, I’m genuinely curious. Archie Roosevelt is also Alice’s brother. Shouldn’t they be on your side in this matter?
And with Alice expecting a child, shouldn’t the ties between your two families be even tighter?”
Donnie laughed, “Indeed, we are very close. Just the other day, young Theodore Roosevelt ca to Atlantic City. We had a thorough discussion about the Navy selling off warships, and on this matter, young Theodore Roosevelt has secured a great deal of benefit for us.
During this period, my ABC has also been continuously promoting young Theodore Roosevelt’s campaign for Governor of New York State!”
William llon took a mont to understand the Roosevelt Family’s thought process: “They are indeed playing a smart ga, investing on both sides, ensuring they won’t be at a loss!”
Donnie replied, “Each matter has its own place; cooperation where cooperation is due, competition where competition is due, there’s nothing to it!”
William llon nodded, not dwelling on the matter any further, and then earnestly asked Donnie, “Donnie, my uncle has sent to ask you, do you really need a bank?”
Donnie made no attempt to hide his intentions: “Absolutely. William, you should understand that at my current scale, it’s impossible not to have my own bank.”
In the later stages, which of the top ten financial consortia in the United States wasn’t built around a bank?
Let alone the giants in banking like Morgan, llon, and First National City, the other consortia also had their own banks, so overtly and so covertly.
Having one’s own bank ant that one’s cash flow would beco a secret known only to oneself, and it could use the banking system’s secrecy to easily manage the cash flow of all its industries to serve itself.
Moreover, in the later stages, the United States would turn its attention more towards finance, making banks increasingly important in the future social environnt.
In short, once Donnie had his own bank, it ant he could complete the integration of the New Jersey State financial consortium that had been rumored outside.
And from then on, no one would know Donnie’s financial situation, and his cash pool would no longer worry about being targeted by others!
“The second question my uncle sent with is, if you do take over Breton Bank, how will you protect llon’s interests in Atlantic City?”
William llon waited for Donnie’s answer to his question without showing any judgnt.
Donnie stated, “On this point, I can guarantee, although such a guarantee cannot be formalized into a written agreent, I believe my trust with Andrew there will offset these concerns!”
That was the significance of Donnie’s founding of the Tarot Society with Andrew llon and others in Washington previously.
