The Charm of Donnie Block_4 Chapter 511: 190.

The Charm of Donnie Block_4 This is what Mr.

Rockefeller Sr.

was most concerned about!”

Young Rockefeller was lost in thought by Donnie’s words.

At this moment, he remembered what his father had said when they had talked about Donnie, that he hoped he could devote more energy to educating his offspring.

“Now my father’s thoughts are no longer important!” Pride surged within Young Rockefeller as he said, “I will definitely succeed in this matter, and then all thoughts will vanish like smoke!”@@novelbin@@

This was the pride of Young Rockefeller.

Donnie said indifferently, “Of course, all decisions depend on the outcome of this matter.

The reason I said so much just now was actually to inform Mr.

Rockefeller that this competition is only a business rivalry, nothing personal, and I personally am very much looking forward to more cooperation with the Rockefeller Consortium in the future!”

This time, it was Donnie who initiated this statement.

Young Rockefeller rose to his feet and said, “Of course, no matter the outcome of this competition, Donnie, I have great respect for your abilities and am also looking forward to our next collaboration!”

A confrontation that should have been tense and fierce turned into a relatively harmonious internal skirmish by Donnie’s hand.

“Such an outcome is the best.

I believe that with these preparations, regardless of the outcome of this war, it won’t result in strained relations later!”

After hearing Donnie’s description of the meeting, Helen gave her analysis.

Donnie nodded and said, “I think so too, especially in this matter, it has made me even more aware of our current situation.

We seem powerful, but we actually lack real trump cards.

It seems these people have also noticed that ABC is our ace, which is why they have chosen to target ABC.

But regardless, if we can reach a position, not to compare with those super consortiums but just to match the scale of companies like General Motors, then none of these issues would have arisen, at least we wouldn’t be isolated and helpless like we are now!”

Helen said, “At least after today’s meeting, we can ensure that these people won’t stand completely opposed to us over this issue when it’s over, and we can still sit together and discuss cooperation in the future.

That alone is a success!”

Doing business is never a one-man affair, it’s a community, a vast community, especially in the United States now, where several major consortiums cover virtually every industry.

They compete with each other but also cooperate.

If Donnie truly turned against these consortiums because of this matter, that would be a real crisis!

Although those people all believe Donnie is bound to lose this time, Donnie himself is confident that he will win.

The loser will undoubtedly feel humiliated, and if that’s the case, cooperation later on will be very difficult.

“So next, can we start our plan now?”

Helen asked Donnie.

Donnie nodded and said, “We can start now, let Mashang Evans begin the action!”

Helen said, “I’ll go inform him!”

.

Young Rockefeller returned to Westchester to meet with the retired elder Rockefeller of the Rockefeller Consortium.

He recounted everything from the earlier meeting to the elder Rockefeller without missing a word, including his conversation with Donnie.

After listening, elder Rockefeller sighed and said, “It’s a pity all my daughters are already married!”

Young Rockefeller was surprised by elder Rockefeller’s thoughts, does it mean that if they weren’t married, he would have considered someone marrying Donnie?

Elder Rockefeller told young Rockefeller, “After this matter is over, regardless of whether we win or lose, I hope you can invite this person over.

I would like to meet him.

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a young man like Donnie Block.”

“It seems my previous views of him were somewhat biased.”

Young Rockefeller couldn’t help saying, “Dad, Donnie’s performance today was indeed stunning, but his actions are still a bit reckless.

Under such circumstances, Donnie Block no longer has the possibility of winning, yet he still acts so assertively.

Isn’t this impulsive behavior more in line with your previous assessment of him?”

Elder Rockefeller shook his head and said, “You think Donnie Block was being impulsive?

I saw him laying the groundwork methodically for what comes next.”

“At today’s meeting, Donnie’s performance can be described as perfect.

He resolved the plan we set up to alienate him from the ABC board members.

Additionally, he made every person present feel the sincerity of Donnie Block, so even if Donnie does fail in the end.”

“So what?

Those people will surely feel some guilt towards Donnie in their hearts, and Donnie can certainly use this guilt to firmly secure his position as the chairman of the ABC board.”

“Of course, this guilt has a time limit, but in this period, Donnie might even recruit some and acquire more shares of ABC.

If there are no competitors, maybe by the time this guilt expires, Donnie Block may have regained absolute control over ABC.”

“And you, think back on your current thoughts about Donnie Block.

Do you still have that anger towards him because of the tactics he used against the Hearst Corporation?”

Young Rockefeller reviewed his own feelings and finally shook his head, saying, “It’s gone.

I just thought that even if I fail this time, I would still like to continue collaborating with Donnie.”

Elder Rockefeller nodded and said, “That’s right.

Now think about what was in your heart before attending this meeting?”

Young Rockefeller fell into deep thought again, and after a while, he said, “I was thinking the meeting was going to be tense, possibly even involving Donnie angrily questioning everyone, followed by everyone starting to argue back, ending in a standoff where either Donnie compromises or everyone leaves dissatisfied!”

“And now?” asked elder Rockefeller.

Young Rockefeller replied, “None of that happened.

Even though Donnie chose to keep competing with everyone on this issue, everyone understands it’s a fair business competition, unrelated to anything else!”

Elder Rockefeller nodded and said, “That’s what I’m talking about!”

At that point, elder Rockefeller also fell into contemplation, wondering what he would choose if he were ten years younger and facing Donnie Block at this time.

It probably wouldn’t be cooperation!
