Chapter 1030 - 352, do not merge_2
As long as Venus Bank holds shares in General Electric and Westinghouse respectively, although these two companies won’t form a monopoly, Venus Bank can still monopolize the domestic electrical industry in the United States, and that’s enough!
At this moment, Donnie had even figured out that after completing the shareholding of these two companies, he would spice things up. For instance, he could convey some of General Electric’s leading technologies to Westinghouse through special means, or reveal some channels of Westinghouse to General Electric.
Let them maintain a competitive relationship of chasing after one another.
Furthermore, Irving still hadn’t thought of something, not because he wasn’t smart enough, but because his current position didn’t allow him to see such a high-level picture.
Donnie chose to keep Westinghouse and General Electric from merging for another reason, which was to avoid triggering the sensitive nerves of the American public.
Although Coolidge, Herbert Hoover, and even Franklin Roosevelt, who would be one of the most successful Presidents in American history, Donnie was confident that they would not pin the anti-monopoly case on him.
But nothing is absolute, and Donnie would never place all his bets on one person or one force, so keeping Westinghouse and General Electric from merging was out of this consideration!
When Venus Bank eventually holds shares in Westinghouse and General Electric, it will certainly cause a major stir, but as long as Donnie controls media reporting and doesn’t merge these two companies, within a year’s time, people will forget about it, viewing Westinghouse and General Electric as two separate companies!
Irving was deeply shocked internally after seeing Donnie’s smile.
