America 1919

Donnie stood there watching Jack Morgan swing his club and laughed, "If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Paul Warburg intends to use this 10% stake as one of the foundations to plunder the New Jersey Consortium after Zhan Ning's child is born in the future!"

Jack Morgan looked at Donnie in surprise and said, "Since you already know, why did you still agree?"

Donnie looked equally surprised at Jack Morgan and asked, "Mr. Morgan, have you forgotten that we are going to take action against the entire Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium this year? Since we're going to take action, then the 10% stake in Apollo Chain at Warburg Company will return to my hands, right?"

Jack Morgan: "..."

Seeing Jack Morgan's embarrassed look, Donnie continued to ask, "Dear Mr. Morgan, please tell me you're not that foolish, okay?"

Jack Morgan, angry and embarrassed, swung his club at Donnie, and Donnie cheerfully dodged.

"How could I have forgotten this?" Jack Morgan was quite helpless now, having failed to connect these two things, it was indeed very foolish!

Donnie waved his hand, deciding not to mention the matter anymore, or else Jack Morgan might really become angry and embarrassed, "Mr. Morgan, we can put aside matters with Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium for now. What exactly does Morgan think, have you decided to make a deal with us?"

Jack Morgan laughed, looking at Donnie, "Block, you've got quite a strategy there, giving up 10% of Apollo Chain shares while potentially harvesting a monopolistic enterprise in the future!"

Donnie didn't become panicked because Jack Morgan saw through his ideas, as this was all part of Donnie's plan.

"I never intended to hide it from you, but I'm also not obliged to clearly tell you, right?"

Jack Morgan asked, "What if we disagree?"

Donnie spread his hands and said, "It doesn't matter, if Morgan disagrees, we will progressively sell the 10% stake after Apollo Chain goes public. According to current market estimates, 10% of Apollo Chain shares can sell for about 30 million to 40 million US Dollars. With this cash, we can fully invest according to the current US stock market trends. I believe in the next few years, it might turn into 100 million, 200 million cash. With this money, whether it's acquiring General Electric or General Motors, I believe Morgan would be willing to talk with me!"

Jack Morgan looked at Donnie helplessly and said, "Don't you consider our feelings when you say this?"

Donnie exaggeratedly said, "Come on, Mr. Morgan, we're just talking business, I'm telling you my thoughts face-to-face."

Jack Morgan pondered and said, "Donnie, can't we cooperate on this matter?"

Donnie asked, "How does Mr. Morgan want to cooperate?"

Jack Morgan calmly said, "Morgan will exchange parts of General Electric shares, parts of General Motors shares for parts of Apollo Chain shares. Even when you want Westinghouse to merge with General Electric in the future, Morgan can choose to support. We can even help persuade DuPont at a certain stage in the future to transfer their shares in General Motors to you!"

This was the result of Jack Morgan's thinking over time. He understood the grand setup laid out by Donnie, and he didn't want to give up any possibility.

Indeed, now both General Motors and General Electric are among the top groups in the United States, but the top is not the end, the end is a monopoly.

Jack Morgan once deduced whether Morgan could replicate Donnie's plan to monopolize both General Electric and General Motors since Morgan's energy is greater than the New Jersey Consortium and financially stronger!

But the result disappointed Jack Morgan. They couldn't succeed, or perhaps no one would allow them to succeed.

The current situation in the U.S. has Morgan as a dominant force in the most crucial economic pillar—the financial sector, along with its status in steel and other fields. If Morgan wants to monopolize other industries.

Then even if their relationship with the U.S. Government is exceptionally good, the U.S. Government would never allow such a situation to occur, especially since the U.S. Government has always been wary of Morgan's power.

If not for joining the Tarot Society, perhaps Coolidge's government would already be playing against Morgan!

Therefore, in this matter, Morgan can be a participant but definitely not the dominant force.

Donnie looked with some admiration at Jack Morgan, "Mr. Morgan, I must say your suggestion is very hard to refuse!"

Donnie also understands Morgan's difficulties, which is why he is unhesitatingly telling Jack Morgan about his intentions to swap General Electric and General Motors shares.

Yet Jack Morgan found a way to gain both from the options of losing or gaining!

Jack Morgan also smiled as he looked at Donnie, "So, Block, are you willing to accept my suggestion?"

Donnie stood there, vigorously swung his club, and the golf ball on the lawn flew into the sky.

"I have always considered collaborating with Morgan to be a very pleasant affair!"

.

After Donnie and Jack Morgan agreed, Venus Bank, Apollo Chain, and Morgan jointly issued a statement, the content of which was naturally about the equity exchange.

This statement, along with the previous one issued with the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium, made Apollo Chain's already sensational public offering even more sensational.

At this point, everyone began to eagerly await the public offering of Apollo Chain!
