America 1919-Chapter 1151 - 393. Establish a new Texas consortium_3

However, the upcoming acquisition no longer requires Donnie to appear again; he has handed this matter over to Winston Marl once more.

Nonetheless, Donnie did not leave here to head to his second destination, but stayed in Houston, which will become the base of the Venus Bank in Texas!

Currently, Houston is not yet the future Space City; instead, it’s a paradise for oil companies because oil was discovered in the Houston area at the beginning of this century!

The Pandora Oil Company of Venus Bank also has its own office here.

Donnie came to Houston this time for two things!

"Firstly, to build a skyscraper here, the most top-tier commercial building in the whole of Houston. Once this building is completed, it will be the headquarters of the Venus Consortium in Texas!"

Donnie stayed in the presidential suite at the top floor of the Hendler Hotel in Houston. He stood in front of the study’s floor-to-ceiling windows, speaking to his assistant, Rack Holloway.

Rack Holloway did not replace Rudwell Wells; he and Rudwell Wells just worked as assistants to Donnie one after another. However, now Donnie is clearly in the process of establishing a Texas Consortium, and such a matter could not be entrusted to Rack Holloway.

"Secondly, inform Robert to find every possible way to acquire some banks in Texas and then merge them into a new banking group!"

Although establishing a consortium does not necessarily require banking, having it is always beneficial!

What Donnie aims to do in Texas is to pursue agriculture and banking simultaneously.

"Thirdly, connect with the ports along the Texas coast to seek investment opportunities!"

The importance of ports for Donnie’s agriculture and animal husbandry is significant; furthermore, with technological advancements, less and less labor is needed in agriculture and animal husbandry.

The establishment of ports can, to some extent, offset these job losses.

The more population one has, the more votes one can secure! 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

Of course, among these three tasks, only the first one is relatively easy to accomplish. The remaining two are basically impossible to complete in a short time.

Although Donnie is eager to quickly establish the Texas Consortium, he also understands that such a matter cannot be achieved overnight.

So it must be taken slowly.

After noting down Donnie’s requirements, Rack Holloway asked, "Boss, if we acquire banks in Texas and then merge them, which area of business should the newly merged bank focus on?"

Donnie replied clearly, "Investment, focusing on investing in Texas’s emerging industries!"

It has been stated that Texas’s achievements are not only in agriculture and animal husbandry, but for now, those fields dominate the mainstream.

If Donnie wants to establish a Texas Consortium, he needs to ensure the development of Texas can, as in history, support the growth of emerging industries through investments. Only in this way can he guarantee that the consortium he creates will be as large as the future Texas Consortium!

"Of course, the acquisition of banks must also continue!"

Donnie concluded.

Rack Holloway nodded and said, "I understand, I will convey this information to Mr. Lillard!"

.

While Donnie was making big acquisition moves in Texas, something else happened in Washington.

Thor Brady summoned Angola Cohen.

"How is Donnie Block’s situation over in Texas?"

Angola Cohen replied, "With John Garner’s help, Donnie Block has successfully acquired many farms in Texas. Currently, Venus Bank has become the largest farmer in Texas!"

Thor Brady, 42 years old this year, had thick hair and a burly build, giving the appearance of someone not of Jewish descent.

Upon hearing this news, Thor Brady showed a trace of regret.

"It was my actions that drew Donnie’s attention to Texas. Unexpectedly, not only did I fail to eliminate Donnie Block, but I also enhanced his influence in Texas!"

Though Thor Brady thought this, he naturally didn’t voice it. It was only a thought within his heart.

This very thought proved one thing: that the ambush on Donnie Block in Washington was orchestrated by Thor Brady himself!

As for why he did it, only he knows, or perhaps Donnie would know when he finds him!

"I understand. How’s the investigation on the ambush on Donnie Block going?"

This was what Thor Brady actually said to Angola Cohen.

Angola Cohen shook his head helplessly, "We don’t have any leads yet!"

Thor Brady said, "Recently, I’ve heard some news!"

Angola Cohen’s expression changed; even the FBI hadn’t uncovered anything about this matter, and yet Thor Brady had some news?

Experienced Angola Cohen immediately realized that there were things he didn’t know about.

But due to his experience, he knew he couldn’t ask how Thor Brady acquired this information; he just needed the content of the news itself!

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have sent Jerry Hop to investigate this matter in the first place.

"May I know what Mr. Brady has heard?"

Thor Brady, pleased with Angola Cohen’s response, said, "I recently heard that three Germans arrived in Washington before Donnie Block did, as for the other details, I don’t know."

Angola Cohen, understanding the hint, said, "I’ll report the investigation result on this matter to Rhode Granger, hoping it could allow me to become friends with Mr. Donnie Block!"

Thor Brady nodded satisfactorily; the backgrounds of those three people had all been wiped clean. Even if their situation was known, no one would suspect it was linked to him!
