America 1919-Chapter 1150 - 393, Establish New Texas Consortium_2
Currently, there are two oil transport pipeline companies in the United States, one is the largest, Titanic Company, and the other is the Hearst Corporation, which is already controlled by Venus Bank!
After Venus Bank’s Pandora Oil Company completed its acquisition of Sinclair Oil Corporation, it naturally inherited Sinclair’s shares in Hearst. Additionally, during the Teapot Dome oil field scandal, several other oil companies were more or less affected, their stock prices fell, which gave Venus Bank an opportunistic chance to buy at low prices, acquiring substantial shares in two other oil companies, not including the Rockefeller Family. Now, Venus Bank has become one of their major shareholders, meaning it’s not only Venus Bank that holds the most shares in Hearst Corporation but also has the ability to influence two other oil companies.
Speaking of the Texas consortium, its parent body is Titanic Company, which houses Dallas’s First National Bank, Houston’s First City National Bank, Dallas Republic National Bank, Texas Commercial Bank, LTV Company... the United States’ fifth largest arms dealer, Hughes Aircraft Company, Texas Instruments... the world’s largest integrated circuit manufacturer.
Hmm, but these are future companies; many of them have yet to grow at present!
This is Donnie’s opportunity.
Using farms as a foundation, penetrate Texas, and later fight Titanic Company for control of these firms.
By then, Donnie will not only have the New Jersey Consortium but also the Texas consortium!
This is akin to Rockefeller and Morgan, who became the largest consortia in the United States independently, while also employing strategies or influence to control other consortia!
Since they can do it, Donnie can certainly do it too!
But no matter what, as long as it’s not confirmed that John Garner is unrelated to the Washington ambush against him, Donnie doesn’t want to completely sever ties with John Garner!
"Mr. Garner, I can assure you, as long as the Washington incident has nothing to do with you, regarding your hinting at Edgar Hoover’s matter, I can pretend it never happened. Furthermore, as how those Texan farmers supported you before, I will continue to support you as always. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖
You should know my reputation in the White House, as long as you’re my friend, I always grant the greatest support!"
John Garner shook his head and said, "You can’t expect me to believe you just based on a single sentence!"
Donnie spread his hands and said, "Then there’s no way around it, acquiring Texas farms to become the biggest farmer here is something I must do, and no one can stop me in this matter. If you try to block it, we will formally go to war.
So, Mr. John Garner, do you want to become my enemy, or my friend?"
John Garner found himself in a dilemma.
Become friends with Donnie Block?
John Garner knows he wasn’t the mastermind behind the ambush on Donnie, but can Donnie really believe this?
Thinking of this, John Garner angrily thought of Thor Brady.
If it really was Thor Brady who did it, John Garner vowed not to let him off lightly!
What a scam!
"Alright, I’m willing to believe your words, Block!"
Eventually, John Garner could only choose this path; in reality, he wasn’t without other options, such as opting to cooperate with Donnie Block’s adversaries.
But if so, leaving aside the fact that these people dug themselves into a pit by ambushing Donnie Block, speaking of personal interests, since they chose to want to kill Donnie through such layered deceit, it proves that they definitely don’t want to confront Donnie head-on.
So, under such circumstances, would they sacrifice more for him?
Even if they were willing, his own strength would only shrink in this battle and ultimately become a vassal!
Realizing this, John Garner had no other choice!
Regarding John Garner’s choice, Donnie wasn’t surprised at all; after all, political figures are most adept at seeking advantages and avoiding danger.
Collaborating with him offers more benefits!
Therefore, they will definitely work with him; even if the situation were reversed, if he had hired someone to kill John Garner and failed, under significant interests, John Garner would still cooperate with him!
"Very well, Mr. John Garner, the degree of suspicion in my mind has lessened significantly. Now, please join me and help persuade Tom Wagner to sell his farm!"
John Garner: "..."
He didn’t anticipate that the first thing to do in cooperating with Donnie was to help him poach his ally!
But does he have any other choice now?
No!
Not only is John Garner caught off guard, Tom Wagner also couldn’t foresee this.
Once Donnie and John Garner cooperated, the difficulty of acquiring Texas farms started decreasing without limit.
First, Donnie secured Wagner Farm at a price of ten million US Dollar, followed by other farms.
In just one week, Donnie acquired 405,800 hectares of farm area in Texas, becoming the indisputable largest farmer in Texas!
