Chapter 1197: Chapter 410: The Three Major Conglomerates of Florida
“I didn’t expect Cameron to be so patient. It’s been a month since the California incident, and he hasn’t made any moves!”
Robert was here this time to report to Donnie about the situation in Florida, but he first praised Cameron Block.
“That was indeed a bit beyond my expectations!” Donnie said, sitting on the sofa with a smile of appreciation on his face.
It’s now been a month since Cameron Block’s plan against the “Los Angeles Times” started, and during this month, Cameron Block has remarkably held back from executing the final plan.
“But will dragging the time out too long be disadvantageous to us?”
Robert asked Donnie worriedly.
In fact, Robert was very clear that if the scandal targeting the “Los Angeles Times” had occurred right after speaking with Harry Chandler, it would easily lead people to associate it with Donnie.
Even if Donnie wasn’t the one who did it, they would think it was arranged by him.
Now, this span of time was actually to make others forget about Donnie’s issues with the “Los Angeles Times.” Once the issue arises, Donnie’s suspicion will be lessened, and more importantly, whether it’s Jessica Dole or Connor Joyce who comes forward to deal with the final plan, they would have legitimate reasons.
Donnie shook his head and said, “No, the seeds have already been sown, and we decide when they will sprout!”
At this point, Donnie was no longer particularly concerned about the situation over in California.
Instead, he focused his attention on Florida, which was the real key. After all, if this thing succeeded, it would be equivalent to taking over half of Florida. And even if California took over the “Los Angeles Times” along with United Artists, Disney, and Heimdall theaters, it would still not be able to truly control California.
“Has the news been sent out?” Donnie asked Robert.
“It’s already been sent out, I think it should have reached Florida by now!” Robert said with a complex expression.
Previously, when they were discussing preparing the funds to enter Florida, Donnie said to wait a little. After some time had passed, Donnie was now ready to officially enter Florida.
They have already dispatched a professional team, which should have arrived in Miami by now. And what they are doing at the moment is making a big splash in Miami in three ways.
First, acquiring farms in Florida!
As a southern state of the United States, Florida’s agriculture is very developed, and the state produces 75% of the U.S. oranges, with vegetable production second only to California.
Second, finding a prime piece of land in Miami and buying it!
Third, looking for a local city bank in Miami to acquire, and then establishing a bank on the purchased land that can oversee the entire state of Florida!
The Venus Bank team is carrying out these three things in a very high-profile manner, and it’s believed that it will quickly spread throughout Florida.
Indeed, everything unfolded just as Donnie had anticipated, this news quickly spread, in Florida, in New York!
Florida was easy to understand, after all, the activities of the Venus Bank were there.
As for New York…
Venus Bank has now grown into a major conglomerate that can influence the economic development of the United States. Its every move is closely watched by Wall Street, as everyone wanted to know what the development direction of Venus Bank would be.
Then they could seize the opportunity to reap benefits from it!
Just like now, when those bankers on Wall Street learned that Venus Bank was preparing to enter Florida for the second time, many companies immediately began to hold their own meetings and allocated funds to Florida.
In just half a month, the influx of external funds into Florida increased by 15% compared to before.
Of course, given that Venus Bank had previously withdrawn from Florida, when it re-entered Florida this time, it drew quite a bit of ridicule and skepticism.
“If they knew this would happen, why did they withdraw in the first place!”
“It’s not the same as before now, if Venus Bank hadn’t withdrawn from Florida, the current Florida wouldn’t be dominated by just the Warburg and DuPont families, but rather divided among Warburg, DuPont, and Venus Bank.”
“You’re wrong in thinking that, in my opinion, the Rockefeller Family should be included. Since they took some of Warburg Company’s land in Florida, they have continuously invested in the state. No one knows how much land or investment they hold there now!”
“Whether or not the Rockefeller Family is included, it’s not a wise decision for Venus Bank to re-enter Florida at this time!”
“That’s for sure!”
Such discussions were ubiquitous on Wall Street.
It was also under such circumstances that Donnie received a call from Miami, but it wasn’t from Paul Warburg, it was from Alfred DuPont of the DuPont Family!
In Pierre DuPont’s generation, the DuPont family saw the emergence of three geniuses.
They were Coleman DuPont, Alfred DuPont, and Pierre DuPont.
