America 1919

Donnie looked at Paul Warburg.

Paul Warburg was the first to speak: "Block, we're willing to swap Westinghouse shares for Apollo Chain shares with you!"

Jack Morgan glanced up at Paul Warburg with some dissatisfaction in his eyes. Donnie had just asked him for shares of General Electric, and now Paul Warburg wanted to give up Westinghouse shares, wasn't this competing with him?

Paul Warburg didn't mind Jack Morgan's look but instead eagerly watched Donnie.

Donnie shook his head under Paul Warburg's expectant gaze: "Westinghouse is not General Electric. If dear Warburg wants Apollo Chain shares, then you'll have to trade with Warburg Company's shares!"

Paul Warburg's expression suddenly changed!

Upon hearing Donnie's demand, Jack Morgan showed a smug expression.

Everyone knows Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium, but in reality, after the Warburg brothers took charge of the Kuhn, Loeb consortium, they placed all their shares in the consortium into Warburg Company's hands.

Just like Donnie, after establishing Venus Bank, he placed his other company shares into Venus Bank.

The only difference between the two is that Warburg Company is also a publicly traded company focused on banking services!

Donnie is directly targeting the Woburg family's core American business!

Paul Warburg instinctively rejected Donnie: "That's impossible, the market value of Apollo Chain can't be compared to Warburg Company!"

Donnie laughed: "I know that, and it's simple, Warburg Company is public, Apollo Chain can offer the Woburg family 10% of its shares, by then, Warburg Company just needs to offer shares of equivalent value according to its market value."

"That's even more impossible!"

Paul Warburg directly refused Donnie this time.

It has been mentioned many times already, the Kuhn, Loeb consortium has been declining recently, leading to decreased market expectations for the consortium.

Therefore, Warburg Company's current market value is considerably below the asset value of the consortium.

Donnie wanting to use Warburg Company's current market value to calculate is absolutely not a worthwhile business for the Kuhn, Loeb consortium.

"Since it's impossible, there's nothing I can do!"

Donnie was in an advantageous position, thus appearing very relaxed.

Paul Warburg looked troubled, realizing that negotiating with Donnie at any time raised his blood pressure.

"Block, you should know, even if I agree to this plan, the Warburg Company Board won't agree!"

Donnie waved his hand: "That's not my concern, dear Warburg, my demands won't change. If you can accept them, we'll cooperate, if not, we'll find another opportunity!"

Seeing Donnie so resolute, Paul Warburg knew that further negotiation would be pointless.

"By the way, is Zhan Ning about to give birth?" Since realizing Donnie wouldn't budge in business negotiations, Paul Warburg turned his attention to Zhan Ning Woburg.

Donnie waved his hand: "Dear Warburg, regarding this matter, no one else can have any influence beyond me!"

Donnie was clearly telling Paul Warburg that his idea wouldn't work!

Paul Warburg shook his head with a bitter smile.

Now Donnie had put forth his demands, and it was clear he wouldn't change his position.

Paul Warburg and Jack Morgan had no choice but to leave Donnie's office.

Donnie sat alone in the office, shortly after, Fei Jackson entered, looking much more exhausted in contrast to Donnie's relaxed demeanor.

This was because Donnie only needed to deal with Jack Morgan and Paul Warburg, while Fei Jackson had to handle all the other stock brokers.

"It ended so quickly?"

Donnie asked with a smile.

Seeing the smile on Donnie's face, Fei Jackson replied helplessly: "My dear boss, if you don't have anything to do, I can divide some tasks for you. How did you come to ask if it's over?"

Donnie laughed heartily and said: "Since it hasn't ended, why have you come to me? Even if we aren't collaborating with them, we should still build good relationships with people!"

Fei Jackson painfully explained: "Because if I stayed in my office any longer, my nerves would be driven to the edge by those people, I wanted some peace here with you for a few minutes!"

Donnie asked Ozzy Barber to make Fei Jackson a cup of coffee: "Quick, get our hero a cup of coffee, he can't afford to fall ill right now!"

Ozzy Barber went to make coffee while holding back laughter!

"Boss, why didn't Mellon people come?"

Fei Jackson curiously asked Donnie.

Donnie waved his hand: "I don't know either, Andrew is no simple character, perhaps he had a reason!"

Fei Jackson worriedly asked: "Could it affect our plans?"

Donnie shook his head: "No, didn't I just say, Andrew is a smart guy, he hasn't even called, he probably wants to stay out of this!"

Only then did Fei Jackson breathe a sigh of relief, "Without Mellon's participation, it's actually quite good, so boss, do you think Morgan or Warburg will agree to our terms?"
