Chapter 1349: Chapter 461: Drastic Upheaval in a Single Day (Part 3)
"Mr. Giannini, have you ever thought about selling all your family’s shares in the Italian Bank to our Breton Bank? I can offer you a very fair price!"
Even though Donnie did not answer Anthony Rothschild’s question, Donnie’s question had already answered his query.
Amadei Giannini turned pale; the thing he feared the most had happened, Donnie Block had indeed allied with Morgan.
"When did you unite?"
Amadei Giannini stared at Donnie Block with wide, angry eyes!
"Perhaps I should answer that question for you!"
At this moment, Donnie Block’s study door was pushed open, and everyone assumed Jack Morgan, who should have been in New York, appeared here.
"You all..."
Amadei Giannini’s eyes were filled with endless fury.
Anthony Rothschild finally saw everything clearly. With Jack Morgan appearing here, it meant that they had been in contact long before Donnie Block came to Washington.
The Italian Bank needed a nationwide network policy for commercial banks.
Breton Bank needed it as well, not only Breton Bank, but Morgan also needed it.
So, Donnie Block appeared in Washington, aiming to push this policy forward during Amadei Giannini’s lobbying.
And on our side, we foolishly cooperated, allowing a bill that should have been tugged and warred over in Congress countless times to pass on its first proposal.
With the bill passed, Amadei Giannini was rendered useless, and naturally, they started to move.
The only mystery that puzzled Anthony Rothschild now was when they connected. Was it before or after his collaboration with Morgan?
But Anthony Rothschild knew that neither Donnie Block nor Jack Morgan would satisfy his curiosity.
Since he couldn’t satisfy it, and knowing that they are destined to fail, staying here would only mean witnessing Donnie Block and Jack Morgan’s triumph, serving no purpose.
Moreover, he needed to rush back and expedite the acquisition of the San Francisco Freedom Bank. Although dealing with Morgan and Block in California was extremely challenging, the Rothschild family wasn’t a pushover. As long as they held the San Francisco Freedom Bank, along with the banks previously acquired by the Rothschild family, they would have a foothold in California.
While Anthony Rothschild was pondering these matters, Jack Morgan was actually clarifying for Amadei Giannini, and it was exactly what Anthony Rothschild had in mind.
The only thing Anthony Rothschild didn’t expect was that Amadei Giannini had formulated a second plan behind his back, intending to transfer the shares of the Italian Bank.
"The smooth push of the nationwide network policy for commercial banks gave you hope, so you shifted more focus onto this matter, delaying your plan to transfer shares.
Now, Amadei Giannini, you have no chance of winning. Selling your shares to us is your only option!"
Jack Morgan elegantly delivered these words that enraged Amadei Giannini.
Anthony Rothschild rose to leave, as everything here was now irrelevant to him!
"Mr. Rothschild, are you planning to return and push for the acquisition of the San Francisco Freedom Bank?"
Donnie, seated on a chair, called out to Anthony Rothschild with a smile.
Before Anthony Rothschild could answer Donnie Block’s question, Nate Rothschild, who had been silently observing the developments, spoke coldly.
"This has nothing to do with you, Mr. Block, does it?"
Nate Rothschild was also inexplicably angry. Half an hour ago, the room was filled with joyous anticipation, everyone believing their action was a success.
But in just half an hour, everything changed, a massive reversal occurred, and all their efforts turned out to benefit others.
And the culprit was Donnie Block!
Donnie smiled, "A day ago, this indeed had nothing to do with me, but not anymore. Today, Breton Bank has reached a formal agreement with the San Francisco Freedom Bank. Breton Bank has become the largest shareholder of the San Francisco Freedom Bank, obtaining management rights from its executives. So, if you’re heading back to acquire the San Francisco Freedom Bank, I can tell you right now, we do not agree to the acquisition!"
Everyone in the room, including Jack Morgan who came later, immediately turned their eyes to Donnie, filled with astonishment.
Evidently, Jack Morgan was unaware of Donnie’s plan.
"Impossible!" Anthony Rothschild reacted most violently. They had been competing with the Italian Bank for the San Francisco Italian Bank for so long without result. How could the San Francisco Freedom Bank people agree to sell to Breton Bank in just over a month?
More crucially, they hadn’t heard a whisper about this before.
Donnie Block spread his hands and smiled, "Nothing is impossible. If Mr. Rothschild doesn’t believe me, you can call and ask now. I’m sure you’ll receive a reply that will make me very happy!"
