Capítulo 1352: Chapter 462: California’s Changing Landscape (Part 3)
Donnie pondered for a moment and said: “Actually, it’s quite simple. Initially, both the Italian Bank and Los Angeles National Bank wanted to acquire San Francisco Freedom Bank. Naturally, they were also willing to offer a higher selling price. But as the Italian Bank was sued by the New York Federal Reserve Bank and struggled to resolve the issue, coupled with the sudden cessation of negotiations by the Rothschild Family’s Los Angeles National Bank with San Francisco Freedom Bank, the management of San Francisco Freedom Bank already saw your intentions.
Once you resolve your troubles, the two of you will definitely team up to suppress their acquisition price.
In such a situation, when Breton Bank came along, willing to offer what seemed to be a fairly decent price to acquire them, they naturally agreed to sell to us!”
Amadei Gianini, after hearing this, showed a bitter smile, not expecting to ultimately lose to greed.
If he had been able to promptly have Crea Gianini place the shares of the Italian Bank under the Pan American Holdings Company, the current situation might have been avoided.
Unfortunately, he was greedy in the end.
“But even so, why didn’t any member of San Francisco Freedom Bank’s management reveal this information to us? If they had disclosed this information, everything would have been different!”
Amadei Gianini continued to ask.
Donnie stood up and smiled: “That’s already the third question!”
After saying that, Donnie left Amadei Gianini’s hospital room.
After Donnie left, Crea Gianini finally couldn’t help but ask her father: “Father, why did you bow to Donnie? We haven’t lost. As long as we win the lawsuit, everything can still be reversed!”
Amadei Gianini lay his head on the white pillow, looking at the snow-white ceiling.
“If it were just me, I indeed wouldn’t need to bow down to them. At worst, it’d be mutual destruction, but I can’t do that because you all need to stay in the United States, you still need to live, and admitting defeat with dignity now will give you a chance to develop in the future. But if we mutually destroy each other, you all would have to return to Italy with me.”
“Then let’s all return to Italy!” Crea Gianini shouted.
Amadei Gianini waved his hand, “I’m willing to go back because it’s my hometown, and it holds my memories, so everything there is good for someone my age.
But for you, Italy is not such a good place. You wouldn’t like living there, after all, this is your home.”
Crea Gianini didn’t know how to respond for a moment. She had indeed been to Italy and would occasionally be willing to live there, but to live there long term…
“Losing is losing, there’s no shame in admitting defeat straightforwardly. At least we have the cash from selling the shares, and I also contributed to the network expansion of commercial banks nationwide, so with this money, leave California, find a place you like, and start your business anew. Maybe in a decade or so, you’ll create a banking consortium bigger than the Italian Bank!”
Amadei Gianini said softly.
“Can we really do that?” Crea Gianini asked uncertainly.
“I hope so, but after all, that’s something ten years from now, and I’m not sure I’ll be around to see your accomplishments then!” Amadei Gianini’s words were filled with deep melancholy.
This defeat hit him far harder than others could imagine.
“Oh right, I need to remind you of a few things!” At this moment, Amadei Gianini spoke as though he were giving final instructions.
“Father, please say it!” Crea Gianini said.
“First, never think of retaliating against Donnie Block and Jack Morgan. We are no match for them. Being on bad terms with them is only harmful, not beneficial to us. Just now, I asked Donnie Block how he managed to deal with the people at San Francisco Freedom Bank. He didn’t tell me, but I can guess it involved some shady means. We’re not their equals in terms of wealth, and much less in these underhanded tactics!”
“Second, the place you choose should be far from New Jersey, Florida, Texas, California, and New York State. You must realize that beneath a big tree, no towering trees can grow; these states are under the control of Block and Morgan, and they won’t allow other forces to develop.”
“Third, do not trust the Rothschild family. It is better to trust Block than to trust the Rothschild family!”
After saying these three things, Amadei Gianini fell silent, having given all instructions, now it was up to Crea Gianini and the others to see how they develop!
Meanwhile, Donnie also met with Cameron Block.
This time, without Cameron Block’s abilities, Breton Bank wouldn’t have been able to so easily acquire San Francisco Freedom Bank!
“Next, I plan to host a ball with Jack Morgan in Los Angeles. You’ll be responsible for contacting some officials from Los Angeles and California and entertaining them at the party!”
“Is this to proclaim our dominance?” Cameron Block asked excitedly.
Donnie smiled: “It is indeed that time!”
