America 1919-Chapter 951 - 324, The New York Times Changes Ownership_3

In their calculations, this investment would yield at least three times the return!

What truly surprised Jack Morgan was that Donnie could pull out so much cash during this period!

"Block, although things in Europe seem unlikely to go awry, nothing is ever foolproof. If an unfavorable outcome truly occurs, this sum of money might cripple you, don’t you think?"

Jack Morgan advised Donnie.

Donnie expressed his gratitude: "At most, it’s just a few years’ effort in vain. Since I decided to join this plan back then, I was already prepared for the worst result. Fortunately, some of the enterprises in my hands are still highly desirable—if worst comes to worst, I’ll sell off a few of them!"

Jack Morgan shook his head. He couldn’t quite understand Donnie’s mindset—it was a high-stakes gamble. If he won, Donnie would gain massive amounts of cash; if he lost, as Donnie himself had said, the Venus Consortium could very likely end up in a deadlock because of it. By then, countless predators would undoubtedly swarm in, eager to devour the juicy Venus Consortium.

Even Jack wasn’t sure whether he would orchestrate Morgan’s bid to consume Venus at that time.

"Alright, it’s your choice. I won’t say any more. Who are you planning to send to New York to oversee this?"

Donnie—Morgan was responsible for New York’s securities markets, while the Rothschild Family handled Europe’s securities markets.

When the time came, both sides would act in concert, buying long positions on French bonds while shorting British bonds.

The timing of this operation was crucial; it had to happen simultaneously.

Of course, with such a large sum of money involved, Donnie was undoubtedly going to send someone to New York to personally oversee it!

Donnie smiled and said, "I will personally go, and Robert will take charge of the specific details."

When Jack Morgan heard that Donnie would personally head to New York to supervise the operation, he wasn’t surprised. After all, it was a massive project involving an immense amount of cash.

"Alright then, let’s head back to New York together!"

Donnie nodded and asked, "By the way, are Andrew and Old Rockefeller ready?"

They had previously discussed that when the European operation was nearing its end, they would launch an assault on the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium, thus preventing the Rothschild Family from supporting the Woburg Family.

"They are ready. However, the European operation is bound to last for quite a while. Sending them to New York now is still too early!"

Donnie nodded slightly; he was also somewhat troubled by this matter.

For Donnie, the best time to act against the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium would be after the Miami Hurricane of 1926, as the consortium’s financial situation would completely collapse due to the hurricane.

However, the other three parties were clearly growing impatient to act against Kuhn, Loeb & Co. Because they were unaware of the hurricane’s impending devastation, they believed the best opportunity was now—when the Rothschild Family was unable to extend a helping hand to Kuhn, Loeb & Co.

Moreover, at this point, Kuhn, Loeb & Co.’s finances had clearly been drained by Florida’s real estate market.

Now was the perfect moment to strike!

At least, that’s how the other three saw it!

It now seemed impossible for Donnie to persuade them to change the timing of the plan. Since it couldn’t be changed, he could only join in!

After Jack Morgan left Donnie’s office, Café Jackson came in.

"Boss, I’ve finalized negotiations with the people at Breton Bank. They will prepare the funds you requested during this period as per your instructions!"

After taking over Breton Bank, Donnie had consciously reduced the bank’s loans, precisely to prepare $100 million for himself now.

Although Donnie planned to go through the proper procedures, a $100 million loan would undoubtedly cause significant issues in Breton Bank’s loan-to-deposit ratio. If the Federal Reserve found out, it would definitely be a huge problem.

But Donnie was a member of the Federal Reserve Council. After securing his council membership, he had immediately replaced Breton Bank’s internal regulators with his own people.

In fact, it wasn’t just Donnie—the other Federal Reserve Council members had also assigned their own people to regulate their banks! freewёbn૦νeɭ.com

The purpose of this was... to guard and steal!

"In a couple of days, I’ll head to New York with Jack Morgan to deposit this cash into Venus Bank’s dedicated account. Also, notify Jesse Livermore to remain on standby during this period!"

Donnie would oversee matters in New York personally, while Robert would handle the specifics... serving as the liaison between Donnie, Jesse Livermore, and Morgan.

Café Jackson hesitated for a moment before voicing a concern similar to Jack Morgan’s: "Boss, this sum of money is enormous for us as well. If the Rothschilds or Morgan were to break the agreement, I’m worried about our funds."

Donnie waved his hand dismissively and said, "You don’t need to worry about that. Naturally, I have arrangements for this!"

Hearing this, Café Jackson understood that Donnie didn’t want to disclose the details.

So Café Jackson wisely refrained from asking further questions.

After Café Jackson left, Donnie made a call to summon Chris.

"You’ll now accompany the shipping vessels heading for Europe, find Steve, and have him closely monitor the situation in the European securities market. I’ve already enabled the encrypted signal transmission through the Atlantic undersea cable. Have him report the European situation to me at all times, understand?

Additionally, take a team to stay in Europe as well. If the Rothschilds truly want to pull some dirty tricks, then we’ll light up some fireworks in Europe for them!"

Donnie said coldly.

"Understood!"
