CHAPTER 1279: CHAPTER 437: THE MEDIATOR (PART 2)

Jack Morgan chuckled, "It’s all connected. The listing of Deep Sea Bank represents the beginning of a capital feast. Everyone is eager to get their hands on the first set of Deep Sea Bank stocks.

In recent times, why did the Rothschild Family release news about Deep Sea Bank’s listing if not to scare off some of the competition?

In such circumstances, what’s so strange about a few lives being lost?"

George Whitney still couldn’t understand and asked, "But Block has already stopped the ’Wall Street Journal’ from over-praising Deep Sea Bank’s listing. There’s no need to kill Sigmund Woberg, is there? And it really has nothing to do with us, right?"

"You’ve hit the critical point!" Jack Morgan waved his hand and said, "It does matter, and it matters a great deal. In my opinion, Block chose to kill Sigmund Woberg at this time to force us to take sides!"

"Take sides?"

George Whitney still didn’t grasp what Jack Morgan meant.

Jack Morgan explained, "The issue with the German Woburg Family has caused Block to break with the Rothschild family, which is why the Rothschild family chose to come to the United States. After losing the Woburg Family, they have essentially lost the American market, so they must come to the United States.

Previously, Donnie always said that the United States is big, the world is big.

But in reality, if you lay it out, the best markets now are just the American market and the European market.

Right now, everyone has already started competing for various resources in these two markets.

Since the Rothschild family came to the United States, Anthony Rothschild has been connecting with Jewish merchants here. Naturally, Block also needs allies.

So he had Sigmund Woberg shot in the street, using this means to force us to take sides."

"But we don’t have to take sides!" George Whitney remarked.

"We don’t need to choose; Block has already chosen for us!" Jack Morgan said with a deep gaze. "With Deep Sea Bank, Venus, and Morgan, we are a community of interests. If Anthony Rothschild acts against Block, what are we going to do? Maybe we can pretend not to see it.

But if Anthony Rothschild targets Deep Sea Bank instead?

At least, now that Deep Sea Bank is listed, even if there are A and B shares, it is the easiest target. Targeting Deep Sea Bank would effectively drag us into the battlefield as well.

Since we’re on the battlefield, we need to choose sides. At that time, do we side with Venus Bank or the Rothschild family?"

George Whitney was stunned; he hadn’t expected so many intricacies involved in this.

"If that’s truly the case, who do we choose to side with?"

Jack Morgan shook his head, "We can’t let such a thing happen. What Donnie said isn’t wrong; the United States is big, the world is big, and even if everyone gets involved, the cake is big enough for us to share. There can be local competition, but there must be no large-scale conflicts. It wouldn’t benefit us at all, and it might even allow other families to emerge and take over our market."

At this point, Jack Morgan paused and then said, "Of course, if it truly becomes unavoidable and we have to choose sides, we will still side with Block. After all, we are closer allies! Our interests are more aligned as well!"

George Whitney felt that the last point was the most important.

"So, what do we do now?" George Whitney asked Jack Morgan.

Jack Morgan lightly tapped the table and then said, "Here’s what we’ll do. In my name, send an invitation to Anthony Rothschild, Block, and others, saying that Morgan is planning to host a ball and inviting them to attend!"

George Whitney nodded, understanding that Jack Morgan wanted to play the peacemaker.

"Everything must ensure the smooth listing of Deep Sea Bank!" Jack Morgan seriously stated.

.

Anthony Rothschild, who was in New York, was the first to receive Jack Morgan’s invitation.

"Sending an invitation at this time? What does he want to do?"

Anthony Rothschild said discontentedly.

It had been almost a week since Sigmund Woberg died, but Anthony Rothschild’s anger had not subsided.

Sitting across from him was a stout, ugly middle-aged man named Maurice Rothschild.

At this moment, Maurice Rothschild, with a nonchalant expression, leaned against the sofa and said, "He simply wants to be a peacemaker to ensure Deep Sea Bank lists smoothly!"

Anthony Rothschild gave Maurice Rothschild a discontented look, "Has the family’s education for you been wasted on the bellies of women?"

Anthony Rothschild didn’t like Maurice Rothschild but trusted him. Otherwise, when Sigmund Woberg proposed to start developing the Hollywood business, Anthony Rothschild would not have thought of Maurice Rothschild.

Maurice Rothschild didn’t take Anthony Rothschild’s scolding to heart. Instead, he laughed and said, "I believe you will see Donnie Block at this ball. By then, you wouldn’t fight him, would you? I must remind you, Donnie has been on battlefields. Your physique is definitely not his match!"
