Capítulo 1428: Chapter 500: The Calm Anthony Rothschild (2)

Anthony Rothschild got up and put the list into his safe, while reminding himself internally that tomorrow he needed Nate Rothschild to deposit a sum of funds for political activities into their accounts!

This is the Rothschild family’s investment!

Just as Anthony Rothschild was about to get up to rest, his room door was knocked.

Anthony Rothschild frowned slightly, but still said, “Come in!”

The apartment’s butler walked in: “Sir, Mr. Nate is here, wanting to see you!”

Anthony Rothschild glanced at the clock in the corner of his study, which already showed 11:47 p.m.

“What is he doing here at this hour!” Anthony Rothschild frowned slightly, knowing that if Nate Rothschild came at this time, there must be something big happening: “Let him in!”

“Yes!”

A short while later, Nate Rothschild arrived in Anthony Rothschild’s study.

The butler left, kindly closing the door for them!

“Something big has happened!”

Nate Rothschild sat opposite Anthony Rothschild, gripping the armrest of the chair with both hands, his body slightly leaning forward, eyes bright with intensity.

“What is it?” Anthony Rothschild maintained his composure.

“Just got the news that Donnie is preparing to transfer the interests and management of the private liquor alliance!”

Nate Rothschild said loudly.

“What?” Anthony Rothschild could no longer maintain his composure and jumped to his feet.

“How is this possible?”

“At first, I didn’t believe it either, but Robert Lillard and Chris Kamp have already started taking action, and several major figures in the United States have already received this news!”

Nate Rothschild said excitedly: “Many have decided to head to Atlantic City to inquire about this matter!”

Anthony Rothschild’s face was flushed as he left his chair, pacing back and forth, clearly very concerned about this matter.

“Should we also contact Donnie, even though our two families don’t get along, this private liquor alliance is such a big business, and more importantly, the political resources it holds are an irreplaceable benefit for anyone, such a large alliance, an ordinary person, no, someone without enough influence, simply isn’t qualified to take it over!”

Nate Rothschild asked Anthony Rothschild excitedly.

At this moment, Nate Rothschild is almost eager to go to Atlantic City immediately.

“Don’t rush!” Anthony Rothschild suppressed his surging emotions and returned to his seat.

“As you said, those with insufficient influence don’t qualify to take over this matter, so there won’t be any results in the short term. What’s most important is, why does Donnie want to abandon the private liquor alliance? If I can’t figure this out, I won’t be contacting Block!”

Nate Rothschild explained: “The information I received is that now, as the United States is loosening the prohibition restrictions more and more, countless private distilleries are emerging across the nation, severely impacting the interests of the private liquor alliance. But such interests, like bamboo shoots after rain, cannot be banned. As long as there is profit, someone will take risks.

Additionally, on the way here, I’ve already analyzed it: with years of management, Block must have established relationships, plus the various troubles of the private liquor alliance, Donnie Block no longer needs the private liquor alliance!”

Anthony Rothschild took a cigar from his drawer, and seeing this situation, Nate Rothschild frowned slightly, knowing that the other never smoked cigars at this time.

This shows how impactful this issue is on Anthony Rothschild!

Phew!!!!!

Anthony Rothschild exhaled a long puff of smoke, then smiled wryly: “Resisting this temptation is indeed difficult!”

Nate Rothschild’s face changed suddenly, hearing Anthony Rothschild’s thought, realizing the other doesn’t intend to get involved in this matter!

“Sir, if we take control of the private liquor alliance, it will drastically shorten our distance from Donnie in the United States!”

“It’s not that simple!”

Anthony Rothschild waved his hand, with sweat dripping down his forehead, his hand holding the cigar trembling slightly, all his effort in restraining himself from thinking about this matter.

“I need a reason, or I’ll write to Europe!” Nate Rothschild couldn’t accept this outcome, shouting loudly: “I know there are things we don’t understand inside, but no matter what, the interests of the private liquor alliance are enough for us to bear all the risks!”

Anthony Rothschild did not show displeasure due to Nate Rothschild’s attitude, for if he were Nate Rothschild’s age, he would certainly be even more impulsive than Nate Rothschild.

“Let’s analyze the interests you mentioned one by one!”

“Okay!”

“First, as you said earlier, because of the United States’ relaxed stance on prohibition, this has led to the emergence of private distilleries in various states and cities, but have you considered why such a large alliance, covering almost all classes in the United States, would cause a loosening of prohibition in the US?”

After Anthony Rothschild finished, he gazed quietly at Nate Rothschild.

The first question stumped Nate Rothschild.

Only then did Nate Rothschild realize, yes, such a large alliance should be completely dedicated to protecting their alliance’s interests, so how did it result in loosening the prohibition?

After a while, Nate Rothschild asked, “Why?”

Anthony Rothschild replied: “This indicates that this prohibition simply can’t be banned by wanting to ban it, and it also shows that a force has emerged in the United States that can compete with the private liquor alliance. Some of them are even members of the private liquor alliance, involving two aspects: certain people’s political interests, and the demands of ordinary people.

In short, the prohibition is about to reach its limit and won’t last much longer!”

Nate Rothschild responded: “No, the economy of the United States is good right now. Ordinary people can still afford this price. I believe as long as the U.S. economy maintains this level, prohibition won’t be lifted!”

Anthony Rothschild asked: “Have you forgotten the family’s analysis?”

Nate Rothschild paused, recalling the family analysis, indicating that next year, or the year after, the United States will have to pay for its current prosperity.

“That also leaves us one or two years to maneuver!”

Once he understood, Nate Rothschild mumbled quietly.

Anthony Rothschild continued: “Let’s move on to the second point, as you just said, even if we can acquire the private liquor alliance, know all its procedures, it will take at least a year, so it’s next year already!”

Nate Rothschild, unwilling to give up the immediate benefits, said: “We can take over faster!”

Anthony Rothschild waved his hand, saying: “This involves the third point. I believe even if Donnie Block wants to abandon the private liquor alliance, he won’t abandon the private liquor alliance’s cash pool. Thus, the alliance’s interests will be discounted. Don’t tell me you don’t understand the importance of distributing the private liquor alliance’s cash pool!”

Nate Rothschild’s face darkened once again.

Anthony Rothschild continued: “Once the private liquor alliance disintegrates due to prohibition being lifted, it won’t be a large interest alliance; it’ll be a giant powder keg. Whoever holds the powder keg risks being blown to smithereens.

I think Donnie has realized this and decided to abandon the private liquor alliance now!”
