Chapter 1609 - 591: Of Course We Want to Work with Mr. Block

The Silver Group actually doesn’t care who becomes President.

Because no matter which President comes to power, they have to compromise with them, as long as the President wants to implement their policies.

They must require their votes of approval!

Harding, Coolidge, Hoover, and now Roosevelt were all like this.

So the Silver Group wouldn’t consider not doing the same once Cameron Block enters the White House.

Now Donnie suggests having Cameron Block join the Silver Group... Of course, Cameron Block qualifies, although he doesn’t have silver mines in the United States.

But as Donnie said, if he can seize the two silver mines in Mexico, then in terms of silver reserves, Cameron Block will directly surpass them!

According to Donnie’s current proposal, if he takes over the Mexican silver mines, Cameron Block joins the Silver Group, then in the future, regardless of which party Cameron Block represents in the presidential elections, the Silver Group would have to support Cameron Block.

After all, he’s one of their own!

Moreover, the Silver Group also gains substantial benefits, as they can manage the Mexican silver mines. Don’t underestimate this point; as long as they manage, they can manipulate the situation.

Additionally, the Silver Group can establish their own casinos in Las Vegas.

Although the management rights of the casinos must be handed over to Caesars Palace, this isn’t a mandatory condition; they just need to acquire management talent from Caesars Palace.

The thing Pitman really doesn’t want is Caesars Palace becoming a shareholder in these casinos.

"Mr. Block, Caesars Palace holds two gaming licenses and is a shareholder in other casinos; I suppose it won’t be long before Las Vegas becomes another Atlantic City?"

Pitman doesn’t want Caesars Palace to become a shareholder in other casinos.

Donnie smiled and said: "Caesars Palace only takes a small share, which wouldn’t affect the operation and management of other casinos.

Mr. Pitman, you should know what the Mexican silver mines represent.

We can be straightforward. Actually, whether we join the Silver Group doesn’t impact us much, at least in terms of benefits.

Introducing you because I respect your contributions to the ’Silver Purchase Act’ and hope there will be fewer opponents when Cameron runs for election in the future.

But the benefits I require, compared to what I contribute to the Mexican silver mines, aren’t proportional.

Businessmen pursue maximum profit; if I get a balanced profit here, I need to recover elsewhere!"

The "Silver Purchase Act" is a bill the U.S. Silver Group will definitely push globally.

Because it concerns their vital interests.

As long as the initiative on the silver purchase price passes at this year’s World Economic Currency Conference, globally, silver will rise in line with the U.S. "Silver Purchase Act."

So if Donnie controls the Mexican silver mines, he’s already holding the wealth code.

"Moreover, in running super casinos, no one outdoes Atlantic City; with shares, the people you’ve taken over will serve you wholeheartedly, won’t they?"

Donnie continued.

Pitman fell into deep thought, after a long time, he told Donnie.

"Mr. Block, I need to go back and discuss it with my friends before I can give you a reply!"

Donnie nodded and said: "Of course, because I also need to discuss the acquisition of the Saucito and Fresnillo silver mines with the Mexican side!"

Donnie started negotiating terms with Pitman before securing the Saucito and Fresnillo silver mines.

If it were ordinary folks, they would certainly think Donnie was making unrealistic promises.

But Pitman wouldn’t doubt Donnie because this is Donnie Block!

Pitman left Donnie’s place.

Donnie needed to head to Mexico to discuss the matter with Aguirre and Escovar.

Before leaving Los Angeles, Donnie met with Cameron Block again!

"The Silver Group people aren’t stupid; they can guess my intentions, so they will surely demand more benefits, which you’ll have to give them!"

Donnie reminded Cameron Block.

In the negotiations with the Silver Group, the key point for the entire Silver Group is actually allowing them to participate in managing the Mexican silver mines.

But in this matter, Donnie kept a trick up his sleeve.

Since Donnie can obtain the Saucito and Fresnillo silver mines, it signifies his absolute authority in Mexico.

Now, Donnie can give them management rights, but in the future, when he no longer needs them, he can take back the management rights from their hands.

But this point, Donnie is sure the Silver Group will definitely consider it.

Having Cameron Block negotiate this point is actually to establish a more direct and friendly relationship with the Silver Group.

"I understand, but if these people become greedy and ask for too much, what should I do?"

Cameron Block asked.

"Naturally, reject them; compromise won’t earn respect, it will only make them look down on you more!"

Cameron Block thought for a moment and then said, "I understand, I will handle this appropriately!"

Donnie nodded, then chatted with Cameron Block for a while, before letting Cameron Block leave.
