America 1919-Chapter 440 - 175. Ultimate Reversal (10,000-Word Mega Chapter, Debt Repayment...)

```

Two days passed in the blink of an eye. Although the NYSE was closed during these two days and Harry Sinclair suffered the humiliation of his life in Atlantic City, in reality, the media and newspapers never stopped reporting on the short-selling battle involving Sinclair Oil Corporation.

The "Wall Street Journal" even called the battle a "new type of commercial warfare in modern society" in its Sunday report.

Now that the battle had captured the attention of the audience, when the market officially opened on Monday, it naturally attracted the attention of countless people.

Donnie got up very early today and had arrived at Block Tavern by nine o’clock.

William Mellon came over with Donnie, along with ... John and Dwight!

That morning, Donnie had learned everything that happened from John, including the matter of stealing Harry Sinclair’s wallet yesterday.

"We thought you didn’t say anything, which meant you agreed with what we did!"

John, sitting on the sofa, said with some grievance.

William Mellon sat opposite him, legs crossed, one hand covering his mouth, worried he might burst out laughing if he didn’t.

Dwight’s expression was somewhat uneasy; he had thought his actions would please Donnie, but it seemed the situation hadn’t turned out as expected!

Donnie, somewhat helplessly, looked at the two men and said, "Do you two even know who you messed with?"

"Of course, we know, it’s that Sinclair Oil Company boss Harry Sinclair, right?" John muttered, "We knew it was him, that’s why we cleaned his clock, and we didn’t do much really, just gave him a beating and stole his wallet. Who knew this guy had such thick skin, to still have the nerve to ask you for a loan!"

Donnie, holding his head, finally said helplessly, "Do you know that if others found out about this, they’d call us barbarians, and we’d face even greater resistance doing anything on Wall Street!"

Upon hearing that Donnie was worried about this, John immediately smiled honestly and said, "Don’t worry about that, we were very careful, no one knows it was us!"

At this point, John immediately looked at William Mellon, who was shrugging his shoulders, "He knows, should we...?"

"Hey, hey, hey!" William Mellon quickly stood up, waving his hand, "Relax, relax, I’m with you guys, and the funds for Donnie to short Sinclair Oil come from me!"

At that, William Mellon even stood up and clapped John on the shoulder, making a heart-to-heart gesture, "We’re in this together, like a family. Rest assured, I won’t tell a soul!"

Truth be told, William Mellon was truly scared of Donnie’s big brother, for he had received a privileged education and was part of exclusive circles; he had never encountered someone like John before.

The education he had received taught that in business, one should try not to make any enemies, and if someone was an enemy, he should first extend a gesture of goodwill. After all, it’s just business competition.

Even if it finally came down to a competition involving huge interests, if all else fails, hiring someone to take out the rival was an option.

But John’s method was something he had never encountered.

William Mellon even thought that if he had found himself in such a situation, his outcome might not be any better than Harry Sinclair’s.

If such a thing happened to him, he’d rather be dead.

It was too humiliating!

Therefore, at this moment, in William Mellon’s mind, John Block became the number one person not to provoke, an utterly fearless and unbridled force! Your next read awaits at novelbuddy

Seeing William Mellon’s reaction, John laughed heartily, "Not bad, you’re a good guy, a true brother!"

Whew...

William Mellon let out a huge sigh of relief.

Donnie, however, was still wearing a cold expression, glanced at the time and realized the market was about to open. He could only say reluctantly, "Alright, sit down. I’ll deal with you two after the market closes for lunch!"

John chuckled and settled back on the sofa, while Dwight became even more nervous.

As the Atlantic City Broadcast economic channel’s special program on the ’Sinclair Oil Corporation Short Selling Battle’ began, it signaled that NYSE had officially started trading.

"Huh, Morgan is quite aggressive today. They’ve put up a sign for the acquisition of Sinclair Oil as soon as the market opened, obviously believing that Jesse Livermore must not have much stock left in Sinclair Oil, so they want to go for the kill right away and defeat Jesse Livermore!"

The voice from the radio made Donnie and William Mellon exchange glances, both seeing confusion in each other’s eyes.

They knew their own situation; up to that point, they still had over 14 million shares of Sinclair Oil in hand, and while they didn’t know how much cash Harry Sinclair had prepared on his side, a bold estimate might be between one to two million US Dollars. This amount of money would be enough to buy no more than five million shares of Sinclair Oil at the current stock price.

Without knowing their holdings, Harry Sinclair’s side should have played it safe and observed their position first. Why did they come out with a do-or-die attitude right at the start?
