Chapter 1716: Chapter 644: A Group That Shapes the World Situation (Part 2)

The current situation is, it’s not that Donnie must go to seek cooperation with him, but rather he cannot leave Venus Bank as a partner.

"We still need to be cautious, we allow the mustachioed man to have ideas of seeking other banks, but we cannot let those banks think it’s their due!"

Donnie seriously spoke to Steve Cotting.

Steve Cotting considered for a moment and asked, "Do you mean that we should ask Swiss Union Bank to pay us protection fees?"

Donnie nodded and laughed, "Naturally, now they’re in competition with us."

Steve Cotting was a bit worried and said, "Swiss Union Bank is also connected to the United States, and many European big figures have placed their assets in Swiss Union Bank, along with the entire Swiss banking system.

They won’t be easy to deal with!"

Indeed, it’s not easy to deal with.

If Swiss Union Bank were that easy to handle, Donnie wouldn’t have specially traveled to Europe earlier to compete for clients with the Swiss banking system!

"Wasn’t Juan Alfonso doing very well representing Breton Bank in Europe?

Let him handle this, their Spanish Royal Family wants to leverage the influence of Venus Bank to regain absolute power in Spain.

We can’t let them get benefits from us without any effort, can we!"

Previously, Juan Alfonso wanted to work at Venus Bank.

But he was rejected by Donnie, who instructed Mackenzie Pop to inform Juan Alfonso and appoint him as the head of Breton Bank’s European division.

In recent years, Juan Alfonso has been engaged in fighting Swiss banks for the deposits of European prominent figures.

Juan Alfonso set his first target on Italy.

He succeeded quite well, becoming good friends with the Baldy in Italy.

He not only convinced Baldy to deposit his plundered wealth in Breton Bank.

He also made Ares Military Industry an important arms supplier for Baldy.

Donnie is not just doing business with the mustachioed man and Baldy.

Ares Military Industry has now become the largest arms supplier in Europe.

The military of other European countries is also starting to place orders with Ares Military Industry.

It’s just that these countries haven’t seen the ambitions of the mustachioed man and Baldy.

Or rather, they haven’t anticipated how the current chaos might evolve.

So they are purchasing defensively more than anything.

Donnie doesn’t mind this; he believes that once the war begins, everything will become different.

Thus, entering this year, Ares Military Industry has further increased several production lines in preparation for the soon-to-happen war.

"That’s good!" Steve Cotting thought Donnie’s suggestion was excellent.

"Juan Alfonso now enjoys a very good reputation in Europe; I’ve heard he secretly met with Franco earlier!"

Steve Cotting said with a smile.

Donnie wasn’t surprised about the meeting between Juan Alfonso and Franco; after all, for the Alfonso Family, their greatest pursuit is to return to Spain and continue maintaining the Alfonso Family’s royal status in Spain!

Donnie summoned Breton Bank’s President Bavilev!

At this moment, Bavilev was in great spirits.

The $1.5 billion allocated by the United States Congress has started to be gradually deposited into Breton Bank’s accounts.

Even before this, Breton Bank has begun researching how this money could be used to its fullest potential.

Now that the money is starting to arrive, Breton Bank is naturally starting its plans.

Although Breton Bank belongs to Venus Bank, under Donnie’s guidance, Breton Bank has begun forming an independent and complete system!

In fact, not just Breton Bank, but all subsidiary companies under Venus Bank are gradually doing the same thing.

The current Venus Bank system is slowly transforming into a mutated version of the American political system.

Venus Bank Headquarters is like the White House in the United States.

Each subsidiary company is like each state, though under Venus Bank’s management, with strong autonomy.

The reason it’s called mutated.

Because the American political system is three branches standing independently, mutually checking and balancing.

Yet the Venus Bank consortium holds absolute power.

Donnie Block!

In name, the United States White House President’s power is checked and balanced by Congress and the Supreme Court.

But Donnie does not have this!

"How is the construction of Breton Bank’s underwater warehouse going?"

After Bavilev arrived at the study, Donnie directly asked Bavilev.

Before Donnie’s earlier trip to Europe, he had given Bavilev an important task.

Which was to establish an underwater vault in the waters of Turks and Caicos Islands.

For a super bank oriented globally, having its underwater vault is extremely important.

Whether it’s a gold standard or detaching from it, gold is forever a guarantee of wealth, and also a guarantee for banks.

Why Swiss banks could maintain their position is precisely because during World War II, a large amount of gold in Europe was deposited into Swiss banks!

"It will be completed in two more months!"

Bavilev also understands the importance of the underwater vault for Breton Bank.

Donnie nodded and said, "At that time, put eighty percent of Breton Bank’s gold in the underwater vault, and similarly deposit the gold obtained in Europe according to this ratio!"

Bavilev excitedly asked Donnie, "Boss, has the plan in Europe started?"

Donnie laughed and said, "If it hasn’t started, what’s Steve coming over for!"

Bavilev also understands that although Donnie has many representatives in Europe, Steve Cotting is the truly important one.

"Steve, I’ll leave Breton Bank’s business in Europe to you next!"

Steve Cotting said with a smile, "No problem, but you have to buy me a drink then."

Bavilev laughed heartily, "I’ll give you a winery."

Those around Donnie can no longer be said to be rising like a chicken and dog.

They have long completed their identity leap.

In the past, these people were either retired soldiers or farmers from Elwood Village.

Now they have become people who can influence the world’s situation.

It’s beyond influencing the United States’ situation.

They are an existence that can impact the world!

"Then let’s confirm it like this!"

Steve Cotting doesn’t care about a vineyard; it’s a form of maintaining their friendship.

Whether it’s Steve Cotting, Bavilev, or others who rose up together with Donnie.

They are well aware that everything they have now is gained from being by Donnie’s side.

Therefore, in their lifetime, they will definitely stay closely by Donnie’s side.

At the same time, they have sent their children to people like Michael, hoping their offspring can maintain relationships with the Block Family.

Of course, even if they can’t maintain it, they are already satisfied.

After all, they understand one principle: between two families, it’s impossible to maintain close relationships forever.

So for this situation, they made dual preparations.

The first preparation is to ensure that even if their descendants leave the Block Family, their family can still maintain a strong influence.

The second preparation is they are all waiting for Donnie to establish the Brock Kingdom in Turks and Caicos Islands.

As soon as the Brock Kingdom is established, these people will certainly become nobles of the Brock Kingdom, like those royal countries in Europe.

Based on the Block Family, their family maintains the power of the Brock Kingdom!

"Furthermore, our banks in Europe will join together with Breton Bank as an alliance; Breton Bank is still too far from Europe!"

Donnie instructed Steve Cotting and Bavilev.

Steve Cotting nodded and said, "I will contact them after I return!"
