America 1919-Chapter 924 - 315, Tarot Society New Member_3
Mia Bock was trying her best to digest Janine Woburg’s words, when suddenly a sentence from Janine Woburg flashed in her mind.
"You say your identity is more sensitive—is it because Donnie fears the Woburg Family?"
"Yes, and no!" At this moment, Mia Bock’s smile faded, replaced by a hint of sadness.
"To put it bluntly, neither you nor I are anything but mere pawns of the family. Wherever the family wants us to go, we must go. But whether we can achieve what the family hopes for—well, that’s beyond our control."
Janine Woburg spoke with a ghostly tone.
Mia Bock didn’t know what to say.
.
"I thought you’d be enjoying yourself at the manor for a few days!"
Donnie met Walker at the construction site of the Block Building, where Walker had also come to inspect.
Donnie chuckled, "The person is already there; what’s the rush?"
Walker clicked his tongue in admiration, but still asked Donnie out of curiosity, "Is the UK market really so important that you’d risk bringing a British noble here?"
The UK market, indeed important, was not as significant to Donnie as the market in the East.
But for now, it was impossible for Donnie to discuss such matters with Walker.
"Although the UK is showing signs of fatigue, London is still one of the global financial centers at present. There’s no mistake in laying out groundwork there!"
Walker nodded. To him, this matter wasn’t exceptionally significant, so he started discussing two other issues with Donnie.
The first issue.
"You’ve already transferred your liquid funds to Florida. Do you still have cash to collaborate with Rothschild and Morgan on the Europe matter?"
Donnie smiled and said, "Isn’t the amount deposited at Breton Bank currently increasing? Besides, I’m already a member of the Federal Reserve Council and a shareholder of the Federal Reserve. I think when it comes to overseeing this matter, it won’t be too strict. Allowing Breton Bank to issue loans beyond its limit shouldn’t be a problem either!"
Walker was enlightened: "So, you were eager to become a member of the Federal Reserve Council and a shareholder of the Federal Reserve at this very moment because you were preparing for this matter?"
Donnie nodded, "Naturally. Otherwise, this could have been planned at a slower pace!"
Walker asked, "Didn’t you say this matter would only happen next year when they take action?"
Returning from Europe, Walker and Donnie had had a deep conversation, during which Donnie finally revealed his plans to team up with Morgan and Rothschild to target those European speculators.
One of Donnie’s reasons included inviting both Walker and Walker’s wife, Maholi, to join the effort.
Currently, Donnie’s foundations were still far behind those of Morgan and Rothschild.
Even by next year, when Donnie could gather substantial funds, the scope of the European operation would still render his resources like a drop in the bucket.
Thus, Donnie needed more allies.
"Those European speculators will certainly squeeze out every last penny; otherwise, they wouldn’t invest more funds.
That’s why next year will be the right time for Rothschild and Morgan to act. But we should prepare in advance for such things. Even if we cannot fully control the initiative, we should be clear-headed every step of the way."
Upon hearing this, Walker nodded.
Donnie understood Walker’s second question.
Without needing Walker to remind him, Donnie had already answered: "I’ve discussed with Jack Morgan and Old Rockefeller. Both of them have no objections to your joining the Tarot Society. As for Washington, I’ll personally negotiate with Coolidge and the others—it won’t be problematic!"
It was now October, and in just one month’s time, the Tarot Society would hold its annual formal meeting!
One of the themes of this year’s Tarot Society annual meeting was the introduction of new members!
Donnie would serve as Walker’s sponsor, formally bringing Walker into the Tarot Society.
However, Walker wouldn’t immediately become a Level 13 member upon joining the Tarot Society. Based on internal analysis within the Tarot Society, Walker was expected to become a Level 7 member.
Once Walker brought more benefits to the Tarot Society, or his status, influence, and wealth further increased, his rank would undoubtedly rise!
Walker gave a smile and said, "So, this means I’ll be heading to Washington with you this November?"
Donnie nodded, "Coolidge may have succeeded as President, but there’s still an election awaiting him next year. At that time, the Tarot Society will resolve the matter of supporting Coolidge!"
After Harding’s death, the Tarot Society had held an internal meeting during which Coolidge assured those present that if he became President, he would bring them great benefits.
Since the interests of all were aligned, they were willing to support Coolidge’s success in next year’s election.
Walker stated with some emotion, "Who would’ve thought!"
Donnie laughed and asked, "Who would’ve thought what?"
Walker said, "I was just thinking about when the two of us first met. Back then, you were merely an ambitious businessman from Atlantic City, and I was nothing more than a destitute illegitimate child.
But it’s only been a few years, and we’re already at the point of influencing the election of the President of the United States!"
Donnie burst into laughter and said, "I think you should save your sentiments for the day we can directly decide who becomes President!"
Walker also laughed heartily, "Do you think that day will come?"
Donnie contemplated and replied, "I believe it will!"
