Chapter 1339: Chapter 458: Tripartite Alliance
Anthony Rothschild and Nate Rothschild arrived in Washington, then accompanied by Amadei Gianini, came to Donnie’s estate in Washington.
"Actually, I think if we could invite Jack Morgan to Washington and have the three of us sit together, that scene would be very interesting!"
In the reception room, Donnie said with a smile.
Anthony Rothschild’s face was slightly unpleasant. After all, the current situation in the eyes of outsiders is that the Rothschild family is cooperating with Morgan against the Italian Bank.
Yet Anthony Rothschild genuinely chose to collaborate with Amadei Gianini, which is essentially a betrayal of his original partners.
"Block, there’s no need for sarcasm here, aren’t you also sitting here now?"
Anthony Rothschild said coldly.
Donnie Block smiled easily: "The key issue is, I hadn’t collaborated with Morgan before this!"
Anthony Rothschild snorted coldly again, but for a moment didn’t know how to retaliate against Donnie Block.
"Ha ha, before this, hadn’t Mr. Block also collaborated with the Woburg Family? Yet in the end, didn’t the Woburg Family’s business all become yours, Mr. Block?"
Nate Rothschild spoke up at this moment.
Donnie looked at Nate Rothschild and asked, "Who is this gentleman?"
Nate Rothschild’s face slightly changed. Although he hadn’t introduced himself just now, he believed Donnie Block surely knew him, yet was now pretending not to recognize him?
"Mr. Block, do you find this joke amusing?"
Donnie leaned back on the sofa, placed his right hand on his chin, and then said with a smile, "So you think I’m disrespecting you?"
Nate Rothschild countered, "Isn’t it so?"
"I think you must have achieved great results, and are an important figure among the younger generation of the Rothschild family, so you are very proud. But you might have misunderstood something; in the eyes of others, perhaps you are a powerful person, but in my view, you are just an ordinary young man. The only thing stronger about you compared to other young people is that you were born into the Rothschild family.
So, I’m curious, why do you think I must know you?"
Donnie said easily, but his tone was full of disdain.
This attitude of contempt made Nate Rothschild frown, but he immediately said with a smile: "I apologize, Mr. Block, I forgot to introduce myself just now. My name is Nate Rothschild, my father is Louis Rothschild."
Donnie suddenly realized and said, "Oh, so you are the son of Mr. Louis Rothschild. I know about you. When you were shorting government bonds in Europe, you contributed a lot, no wonder you’re so proud!"
Nate Rothschild frowned slightly. Just now, he thought Donnie was deliberately provoking him to make him lose his temper so that in the upcoming negotiations, when one is irrational, they make wrong judgments.
So in a fit of anger, Nate Rothschild calmed himself down, but now Donnie was still so provocative, it was somewhat lacking in grace!
"So Mr. Block knows me!"
Donnie chuckled lightly and said, "Nate, maybe you thought my actions just now were intentionally provoking you, but you really got it wrong. I truly didn’t know about you because it’s not necessary. Shorting government bonds in Europe is probably a matter you are very proud of?
But think about it. Without the funds of the Rothschilds, Block, and Morgan, would you have been successful?
So the success was not in your manipulation of the matter; in fact, had it been someone else, they might have achieved the same results as you.
Therefore, there’s no need for me to pay too much attention to you!
Just like now, the only reason I’m willing to say so much to you is because your last name is Rothschild, not something else!"
Nate Rothschild’s face changed drastically. He didn’t doubt Donnie Block’s words because he saw genuine disregard in Donnie Block’s eyes.
"I..."
Just as Nate Rothschild was unable to endure this contempt, Anthony Rothschild suddenly spoke: "Block, there’s no need for us to entangle ourselves in such unnecessary matters. I believe you brought me to Washington through Mr. Giannini, not merely with rhetoric, right?"
Donnie nodded with a smile and said, "OK, it’s simple. Regarding the earlier discussion between Cameron and Maurice, I think you’re aware, but I’m very interested in Hollywood. As long as the Rothschild family is willing to give up the Hollywood market, I am willing to truly cooperate with you two!"
Donnie’s words changed the expressions of both Anthony Rothschild and Amadei Gianini.
"That’s impossible!" Anthony Rothschild said directly: "If the result for you, Block, is this, then we have no need for further cooperation."
Donnie said with a smile: "Are you saying that leaving the Hollywood result is not worth more than the cooperation between your two families? Or is it that one of the conditions of your cooperation is to compete with Leighton Bank for the Hollywood market?"
Anthony Rothschild said: "That’s your thought, but I can confidently tell you, entering Hollywood is the Rothschild family’s strategic layout, it’s a bottom line, we absolutely cannot make concessions on it!"
