Chapter 1040: 355, Acquisition of Portugal’s central bank_3

Thirdly, through me, Antonio Carmona tells you, the boss, that he has prepared a list of candidates to be sent to Macau to replace Rodrigues as the governor, and he hopes that you can make a decision. At that time, Antonio Carmona will have them first visit you in Atlantic City!

…

Donnie sat in his office, looking at Bobby Mozelle’s letter, his fingers gently tapping the table. He then took out the list that Antonio Carmona had given him. After a long while, Donnie began writing a reply to Bobby Mozelle.

“Dear Mozelle!

I have seen your letter and I am very pleased that you have accomplished so much in such a short time. I am very pleased.

Regarding your question, I have made the following arrangements!

Firstly, the chaos in Portugal will inevitably attract the covetous eyes of other capitals. This is unavoidable. Although Portugal is small, it is also a country, and it is impossible for us to completely monopolize Portugal’s financial market.

We only need to ensure that the Portuguese Central Bank is in our hands and have all the rights of the Portuguese Central Bank. This is the most basic success.

Additionally, do not put yourself in direct competition with those capitals. You should support more local capital in Portugal and let them become the knife and the sword in our hands to strike down those enemies.

As for the new bank’s name, let’s call it United Bank!

Secondly, Antonio Carmona is a military man, and it is natural for him to be wary of us. Do not see him as one of us; consider him as a partner, and you will not have such worries.

As for Antonio Salazar, I know of him. As you said, he is a very capable person. As long as he does not touch our core interests, we can concede to some extent. But if he does touch our core interests, you need to inform me immediately!

Thirdly, I have looked at the people on the list, but I cannot understand them through these simple words, so I need you to investigate their situations and find the person who is easiest to control, and then send him to Atlantic City!

…

Donnie sealed the letter he had written and called Kritch.

“This is a reply to Bobby Mozelle. Find the most diligent person to deliver this letter to Bobby Mozelle!”

Kritch took the letter, “Boss, I didn’t expect Antonio Carmona to really succeed. What about our people in Lisbon?”

Donnie still has a team of three thousand people in Lisbon. During Antonio Carmona’s armed coup, they acted as Antonio Carmona’s insiders in Lisbon, providing him with great assistance.

However, now that Antonio Carmona has become the acting president of the Second Republic of Portugal, these people are no longer his aid but have become a threat to him.

Although Antonio Carmona did not tell Donnie to recall these people, Donnie understood that Carmona definitely does not want these people to stay in Lisbon!

“Leave a small portion for Bobby to use, and recall everyone else!”

Leaving three thousand people in Lisbon is a time bomb. Antonio Carmona will eventually be irritated by them, so it’s better to recall them now.

Kritch worriedly asked: “Would this cause any unexpected issues with our cooperation with Antonio Carmona?”

Donnie waved his hand: “It’s possible, but if Antonio Carmona really wanted to break off our cooperation, then he would face the wrath of the United States. I believe Antonio Carmona will not be so foolish. Those three thousand people staying in Lisbon will only affect our relationship with Antonio Carmona, and serve no other purpose!”

Kritch nodded and left!

By the time Donnie’s reply reached Bobby Mozelle’s hands in Lisbon, Bobby Mozelle had already, with unprecedented speed, become the largest shareholder of the Portuguese Central Bank.

Upon seeing Donnie’s reply, Bobby Mozelle immediately set out to rename the Metropolitan Bank of Angola. After the renaming, United Bank and the Portuguese Central Bank jointly issued a statement in Portugal.

With the tacit consent of the Carmona government, Bobby Mozelle, the president of United Bank, became the governor of the Portuguese Central Bank!

Even though Portugal was currently in a state of chaos, this matter became a hot topic among the Portuguese.

Their feelings towards the Portuguese Central Bank are complex. Before, they hated the bank for its negligence in allowing fake currency worth a hundred million Escudos to flow into the market.

But now, hearing that the Portuguese Central Bank was actually acquired by the former Metropolitan Bank of Angola, the perpetrator of the Portuguese chaos?

They were bewildered!

However, Bobby Mozelle quickly published news in the Portuguese newspaper, announcing the recovery of all Escudos without registered codes.

The Portuguese public’s thoughts immediately shifted!

In fact, more than half of the fake Escudos forged by Alves Reis were still stored at the renamed United Bank.

This means that there are only less than $2.5 million worth of Escudos of these unencoded real bills in circulation.

More importantly, whether the Escudos in the hands of the Portuguese public are among these fake bills… well, the final interpretation right belongs to the Portuguese Central Bank!

In such a situation, Antonio Salazar, who has not yet accepted Antonio Carmona’s invitation, approached Bobby Mozelle, expressing a desire to meet Donnie!
