Chapter 821: 281. The relationship with the Rockefeller Family began to become subtle_2
Actually, inside the United Kingdom there isn’t a consensus on this matter either.
Some believe that the noble Sun Never Sets Empire cannot accept this outcome. According to them, this is the moment they should target Pandora Oil and continue to search for their weaknesses!
However, under the influence of Morgan’s connections, this opinion has been suppressed by many.
Of course, it’s not that Morgan has taken control of the British voice, but rather, there are people in the UK who are considering their own interests!
“Jack, thank you!” Donnie expressed his gratitude to Jack Morgan.
With the acquisition of Baku Oil Field, plus Sinclair Oil Corporation’s fields within the United States, Donnie’s oil empire is beginning to take shape!
Jack Morgan reminded Donnie: “Donnie, I know that due to some past events, you have maintained a very good relationship with the Rockefeller Family, but now that you have officially entered the oil field, I believe your relationship with the Rockefeller Family is bound to change. As a friend, I think it’s necessary to remind you, if possible, try to maintain a good relationship with the Rockefeller Family!”
This reveals the relationship between Morgan and Rockefeller!
Just now Donnie was discussing with Jack Morgan how to wrestle control of the New York Central Railroad Company from Rockefeller, but now Jack Morgan is reminding Donnie to avoid unnecessary antagonism with Rockefeller!
The same saying applies, there’s both competition and cooperation!
Donnie laughed: “What if one day the Rockefeller Family insists on being enemies with me?”
Jack Morgan fell silent. Even now, while Donnie has had multiple collaborations with Morgan and both are members of the Tarot Society, Morgan’s bond with Rockefeller is actually deeper.
“If that time comes, I’ll invite both parties to my house, and personally cook a fine steak dinner for you both!”
After hearing this, Donnie laughed heartily and said: “Jack, your words are enough for me!”
As for what Jack Morgan meant, Donnie understood that Jack would personally mediate any issues between Donnie and the Rockefeller Family should they arise.
Whether Donnie and Rockefeller will negotiate as Morgan suggests when the time comes, that is another matter!
But at least, for now, Jack Morgan has positioned himself impartially in the middle!
“Donnie, actually, your previous decisions were very correct. You’re still young, and when looking at the entire global business history, I have never seen anyone achieve such grand accomplishments at your age. I’ve spoken to some people from the East before, and there is a saying I quite agree with:
The tree that stands out in the forest attracts the wind!”
Jack Morgan advised Donnie.
Donnie nodded. He accepted this phrase from Jack Morgan. Many say the East is good at determining hierarchy by seniority, but in reality, this is very common in the West as well!
Take the Vanderbilt Family for instance, Cornelius Vanderbilt I once became the wealthiest man in the United States, at that time even Rockefeller was junior in front of their family.
But at that time, the Vanderbilt Family, in the eyes of the Old Aristocracy from New York and European noble immigrants, was still considered nouveau riche, ‘new money.’
One of Donnie’s favorite film directors, in his movie “A Step Away”, there’s a segment where an actor playing a second-generation general is called ‘new money’ by an Italian woman, which means the same!
The West has an even stronger belief in bloodlines.
This too is their version of ranking by seniority!
Donnie rose too quickly. If not for Donnie finding numerous partners during his progression, and binding interests with conglomerates and families like Mellon, Morgan, Taft Family, Roosevelt Family, President Harding, General Pan Xing, he would probably be dealing with various oppressions and encroachments by now, and powerless to retaliate!
“After completing the acquisition of the New York Central Railroad Company, I will host a banquet in New York, you must come, Donnie!”
Jack Morgan continued to tell Donnie.
Donnie nodded, smiling: “Of course!”
This isn’t just a simple dance, but a gathering where Morgan, acting as a middleman, mediates the relationship between Donnie and the Rockefeller Family.
In this matter, Donnie helped Morgan capture the stocks of the New York Central Railroad Company, effectively snatching food from the mouth of the Rockefeller Family.
The Rockefeller Family has no recourse against Morgan, but it doesn’t mean they won’t take action against Donnie!
.
Donnie had sent Cafe Jackson out to negotiate with the Vanderbilt Family for the acquisition of the stocks of the New York Central Railroad Company.
Cafe Jackson did not disappoint Donnie, obtaining the Vanderbilt Family’s available stocks of the New York Central Railroad Company in the shortest time possible.
In this period, Jack Morgan left Atlantic City, and Walker returned from the United Kingdom!
“This is the reply from Winston Churchill for you!”
Although Walker doesn’t understand why Donnie is so concerned about a British politician whose career is on the decline, since Donnie specifically instructed this before his own departure from the United States, Walker, upon his return, handed over Winston Churchill’s reply to Donnie right away!
