America 1919-Chapter 981 - 334. Toying in the palm_3

50% of the prepayment is actually a bit high.

Normally, it should be a 30% prepayment, but since Philadelphia Steel Factory’s steel plates are the most suitable, it’s a seller’s market for them, so if Trident Shipyard wants Philadelphia Steel Factory’s steel plates, they must accept this price!

"Dropping it to 20% is still not a small amount!" Paul Warburg did not fall into Donnie’s trap.

Donnie waved his hand: "If you think so, then let’s pretend we never met today!"

Paul Warburg was frustrated; negotiations, negotiations, we must talk them through properly, but with you, why does it become a fixed price?

"Alright, I’ll agree to this condition!" Paul Warburg finally agreed to Donnie’s terms, after all, in Paul Warburg’s view, Donnie’s decision was just meant to allow Trident Shipyard to have more liquidity, since the money could earn some interest in the bank.

As for not paying for the goods, Paul Warburg didn’t think Donnie would do such a thing!

"Since you’ve agreed to these two conditions, Warburg, I have nothing else to say. I’ll have Kafe cooperate with you on the specifics!"

Paul Warburg finally smiled: "No problem!"

After they agreed, Paul Warburg left ABC.

The next day, Shaw Gordon and Damour Bral also arrived at Donnie’s office.

The two did not speak to Donnie about an alliance; they were unaware of Paul Warburg’s plan, they just wanted to maintain a good relationship with Donnie.

Yes, they also subtly told Donnie that bringing Venus Bank into Gordon-Blalock Securities had caused some dissatisfaction among Gordon-Blalock Securities shareholders.

Though they did not name names, their description nearly identified Paul Warburg!

Donnie smiled and said: "Don’t worry, the reason for becoming Gordon-Blalock Securities shareholders is due to my belief in the capability of both of you, and that is the core reason. Moreover, I also believe that without your leadership, Gordon-Blalock Securities wouldn’t have its current status!"

The words were not entirely straightforward, but Shaw Gordon and Damour Bral understood Donnie’s meaning.

So the two left here overjoyed.

"Very strange!" Café Jackson sat opposite Donnie, expressing doubt: "I thought the Sachs father and son would be the first to seek you, but I didn’t expect them not to come yet!"

Donnie casually replied: "Although Seymour Sacks is old, he’s not senile; presumably, he figured out coming to us now would only provoke our dissatisfaction, so he gave up the idea!"

Café Jackson nodded: "That’s possible!"

Donnie said: "No need to rush on Goldman Sachs for now; this time, we are mainly targeting the Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium and Gordon-Blalock Securities. As for Goldman Sachs, time is long, we can take it slowly!"

Café Jackson laughed: "It’s just a pity, I thought this time it could be a triple win!"

Donnie laughed heartily: "It’s already quite good as it is now!"

"Boss, Europe’s issues have passed for over a month now, when can we make a move on Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium?"

Steadfast Café Jackson was now showing some impatience.

However, Donnie understood Café Jackson’s impatience; after all, Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium is one of the nine major consortiums in the United States, and previously, there have been many super acquisitions in the United States.

Like Morgan’s acquisition of U.S. Steel, Rockefeller’s acquisition of U.S. Railroads.

But those were events from a dozen or even several decades ago.

Now, the acquisition of Kuhn, Loeb & Co. consortium by Venus and other forces is one of the most important acquisitions in modern U.S. history and is destined to be recorded in American business history!

And Café Jackson, being part of this plan, was very hopeful to be included in the annals because of this!

"What’s up with you!" Donnie playfully reprimanded Café Jackson: "As long as Venus Consortium follows our plan, someday you will definitely enter American history with Venus Consortium!"

Café Jackson eagerly looked at Donnie: "Boss, can it really happen?"

"No, it can’t!" Donnie replied humorously: "I’m teasing you!"

Café Jackson chuckled: "Boss, should we let George order a large batch of steel plates from Philadelphia Steel?"

Donnie nodded: "That’s right, although the overall onslaught hasn’t begun, we need to prepare early for this battle!"

Café Jackson nodded: "I understand!"

Time passed quickly, it had been exactly one month from the announcement of United Artists’ IPO to now; the same preparation time as Trident Shipyard’s IPO!

This event naturally refocused Wall Street’s attention on United Artists.

Although previously, everyone generally believed United Artists’ IPO would succeed, given the lack of precedent in the U.S. stock market, everyone was still somewhat hesitant at this time!

This situation made Shaw Gordon, Damour Bral, and the Sacks father and son a bit worried; hesitation isn’t a good thing, they fear in the end it will be the reason everyone abandons the purchase!

After all, if everyone hesitates, no one buys. If no one buys, the stock price naturally won’t rise!
