America 1919

Donnie had once firmly believed that he should never hand over the consortium he founded to so-called professional managers.

Because deep down, these professional managers are actually thinking about how to usurp what isn’t theirs.

Now, Irving Young’s attitude has only strengthened Donnie’s belief.

Since Charles Koffen stepped down as chairman of General Electric’s board in 1922, Irving Young has started to assume the roles of chairman of the board and group president of General Electric.

It can be said that Irving Young is now the person with the greatest nominal power at General Electric.

And if Donnie wants to acquire General Electric, in reality, Irving Young is Donnie’s biggest competitor.

But now, after discussing with Donnie, Irving Young doesn’t want to compete with him; instead, he’s thinking about how to gain greater benefits from Donnie.

"Mr. Block, no matter what, I’m one of the major shareholders of General Electric. Now you want to acquire General Electric, which essentially takes away my voice in the company. It’s only fair for me to ask for some benefits from you, isn’t it?"

Irving Young said confidently to Donnie.
