America 1919-Chapter 1111 - 379. The Gunshots of Washington_3

Texas, known as an agricultural state in the United States, possesses fertile farmland and is one of the key states for farm acquisition by Venus Bank.

So while in New York, Donnie personally called John Garner, hoping to get John Garner’s help with this matter!

Not all farmers are willing to sell their farms.

John Garner smiled: "Mr. Block, I have already called those farmers for you, but you know how these people are, they view their farms as more important than their own lives, persuading them is not an easy task."

It’s not easy, but perhaps also not desired!

Since Donnie sought out John Garner, he naturally also understood John Garner’s situation. The interest groups backing him are essentially the farmers, so if Donnie acquires those farms, John Garner would actually lose one of his supports!

"I am aware of that, but I still want to ask Mr. Garner to help persuade them, after all, Venus Bank has offered a price 20% higher than the market rate!"

Donnie didn’t want to become a rival to this Democratic Party leader, so he subtly reminded: "The mission of Venus Bank is to respect the history of every state, so even if we acquire some farms in Texas, we will respect all the prior regulations there!

Additionally, I have prepared a Gold Card from Surf Hotel for Mr. Garner, with a limit of 300,000 US Dollars, which Mr. Garner can use freely without repayment!"

Since he didn’t want to become a rival, Donnie naturally offered some benefits!

"If that’s the case, I personally thank Mr. Block. Well, in a few days, I will find time to return to Texas personally, I think my old friends there would still give me face!"

John Garner said with a smile. fɾeeweɓnѳveɭ.com

"Then I’d like to thank Mr. Garner in advance!" Donnie said with a smile.

While Donnie was chatting with John Garner, Andrew Mellon found Donnie.

Seeing this, John Garner excused himself to chat with others.

"I heard Venus Bank is preparing to acquire the grain trader ADM?" Andrew Mellon asked out of curiosity!

Donnie nodded and said, "That’s correct, it should already be agreed upon!"

Andrew Mellon showed a look of envy, the development speed of Venus Consortium has exceeded everyone’s expectations, although agriculture seems like an inconspicuous industry, this is only relative to the average person. Andrew Mellon understood Donnie too well; he knew that if Donnie decided to enter this industry, it would be with the intent to grow big and strong.

If Donnie could control the agricultural market, it would definitely be a far-reaching acquisition for New Jersey Consortium.

"I believe you won’t face financial difficulties in acquiring ADM, but the subsequent development might not be that easy, how about we collaborate?"

Andrew Mellon wanted to collaborate with Donnie. Given the terrifyingly fast development speed of Venus Consortium, keeping up with them would certainly not be an issue!

Donnie pondered for a moment, then said: "If Mr. Mellon wants to join, I naturally have no objections. However, I feel Mr. Mellon shouldn’t focus on ADM!"

Andrew Mellon showed some curiosity and asked: "Do you have other thoughts?"

Donnie said: "I have two ideas now: one is to acquire as many domestic farms in the United States as possible, to create a closed loop for our agricultural business. The second is to acquire Cargill, to fill some technical gaps in ADM and integrate grain logistics. This way, even as newcomers to the industry, we can control the industry with a strong downstream and midstream market!"

Indeed, Andrew Mellon knew that since Donnie entered this industry, he intended to aim for the strongest position!

"Then let Mellon Bank run the acquisition of Cargill, and we can later facilitate the merger of these two companies, sharing the fruits of this industry together!"

Andrew Mellon quickly made his plan!

Donnie expressed no issues after hearing this, but the distribution of shares led to a friendly negotiation, and Andrew Mellon eventually agreed that if the two companies merged, Venus Bank would become the largest shareholder!

After discussing these matters, the evening party was considered over, and Donnie bid farewell to everyone one by one before leaving the White House.

In the car, Donnie closed his eyes for a rest; he didn’t come to Washington for mere celebrations, the crucial task was to resolve the Edgar Hoover issue.

Even though Edgar Hoover’s attitude today was very subdued, Donnie understood Edgar Hoover’s character, this incident marked the point of no return for both sides, so Edgar Hoover must step down!

The previous appeasement of Edgar Hoover was merely to prevent him from retaliating in desperation!

"Tomorrow I must go find Coolidge!" Donnie decided.

By this time, it was already late at night, and there were barely any pedestrians or cars on the streets of Washington.

But at this moment, a black Ford drove towards Donnie’s convoy. Both were driving normally, but when this Ford reached parallel to Donnie’s car, it suddenly stopped, the window rolled down, and someone inside took out a gun and started shooting at the car carrying Tang Fei.

This moment tore through the quiet night of Washington with gunshots!
