Chapter 1618 - 595: No Power in Mexico Can Rival Donnie Anymore

"Saying that now only makes me doubt your noble status!"

Joe Charles found himself not angry at all about Donnie’s accusation.

Not only was he not angry, but somewhat happy!

"Mr. Block, saying these things now is pointless. 50% of the shares is our maximum goodwill!"

Donnie thought with a sullen expression for a long time, finally nodding: "OK, I agree to the Duke’s proposal, but in the board of directors, everyone gets the same number of seats!"

Joe Charles originally believed that since this matter was happening in the United Kingdom, they held an absolute advantage; now that the board seats were equal, it didn’t matter.

"Alright!"

Donnie restrained his anger, nodding: "Then Venus Bank will buy your shares in the Fresnillo and Saucito silver mines, and then Bougainvillea Bank will establish a new investment company in the United Kingdom with you. These two matters are settled!"

Joe Charles’s earlier good mood faded a little, as he thought about their loss of business from the Mexican silver mines.

But there was nothing they could do about it now.

"Agreed, but there’s one thing I’m personally very curious about, Mr. Block, how did you obtain this information!"

Joe Charles waved the documents in his hand, which contained scandalous information about the British royal family!

Donnie smiled again: "As they say, nothing stays secret forever. As long as something is done, it leaves traces.

As for how I obtained it, I cannot disclose that!"

Donnie’s previous leverage was precisely the scandalous records of the British royal family.

Ever since planning to target the Mexican silver mines, Donnie had already been investigating this matter.

It wasn’t because this segment was in ’Bloodbath Gang.’

The main reason was the British royal family itself was not clean.

When you’re not clean, don’t talk about others.

Joe Charles accepted Donnie’s explanation but also understood that there must be someone on the inside betraying them, otherwise, such information could never have leaked outside!

It seems that upon returning, he needs to suggest to George V to conduct an internal investigation of the royal family.

After reaching consensus on these two matters, Joe Charles and Donnie engaged in a heated discussion about the sale price of their shares in the Mexican silver mines.

On this issue, no one was willing to back down, with Joe Charles wanting to sell to Donnie at future increased silver prices.

Donnie, on the other hand, wanted to purchase these shares at prices below the current silver value.

Both sides exchanged sharp words, neither willing to yield.

However, in the end, Donnie held a stronger position, and even though Joe Charles was reluctant, he had to agree!

Once this matter was settled, their negotiation was considered concluded.

When they returned to the Golden Hall,

Frederick, Julian Sabrio, and Doniel Barrett were still there playing cards, and in addition to them, a European noble had joined.

Seeing Donnie and Joe Charles emerging from their negotiation, Frederick and the others knew that their discussions had probably ended smoothly.

Julian Sabrio, in particular, looked relieved at the outcome.

He had closer ties with Venus Bank and naturally hoped Donnie would come out on top in the negotiations.

However, as Aguirre’s representative, Julian Sabrio didn’t want Donnie and Joe Charles to truly fall out.

As it would be very disadvantageous for the situation in Mexico.

In such settings, Donnie and Joe Charles couldn’t announce the results of their negotiations.

The two joined the card table, played a while, and then each left.

Back in his room, Donnie finally showed a relaxed smile.

Everything went according to plan.

"Immediately notify Randy, tell him the negotiation with Joe Charles is over. Everything is proceeding as planned, and he should be ready!"

Randy Powers was in charge of everything for Donnie in the UK, collaborating with Duke Block.

Donnie intended for Randy Powers to handle this matter.

"Alright, I’ll contact Mr. Powers right away and inform him of the events here!"

Mackenzie Pop nodded.

Donnie instructed: "The most important thing is to have him thoroughly investigate Joe Charles and his people!"

Donnie had already realized during his negotiations with Joe Charles that Joe Charles would not yield on the investment company’s shares.

The reason for agreeing was that Donnie knew very well that Joe Charles couldn’t act alone in this matter.

He needed to cooperate with the veteran British nobles who had previously partnered with him in the Mexican silver mines.

It was a group, and as long as it was a group, its members could not always be of one mind.

As long as they could divide that alliance from within, everything else would be easier!

So Donnie needed Randy Powers to internally split Joe Charles’s group in the UK.

It’s not something that can happen overnight, but once the operation starts, success is inevitable.

Donnie firmly believed that such alliances of interest could be dismantled from within with enough incentive.

After Mackenzie Pop left the room, Donnie sighed in relief, finally having settled this matter.

A short while later, Donnie received a call from Escovar, who clearly knew the results of their negotiation with Joe Charles.

On the phone, Escovar sounded quite amazed, not expecting Donnie Block to resolve things with Joe Charles so quickly.

After all, in this matter, Escovar didn’t believe Joe Charles could be persuaded.

Escovar was even prepared for a conflict between Donnie Block and Joe Charles.

Yet they managed to agree on this matter, turning what was thought to be impossible into possible; Joe Charles had given up on the Mexican silver mines!

This realization further elevated Escovar’s perception of Donnie’s strength.

Could the man really be this formidable?

To make old British nobility compromise!

After expressing his admiration to Donnie, Escovar indicated he would host a dinner at the Presidential Office and invited Donnie to attend!

Donnie didn’t refuse.

After hanging up with Escovar, Donnie called Atlantic City, instructing Café Jackson to start preparing for formally signing the shares sale contract with Joe Charles and others.

"Did they agree?" Café Jackson, upon receiving Donnie’s call, was somewhat incredulous.

He trusted his boss to handle the matter, but didn’t anticipate such quick success.

Donnie chuckled: "Alright, I’ll have Pope organize the documents for you. When the time comes, send someone to London to sign the formal contract with Joe Charles and the others!"

Café Jackson responded excitedly: "Okay, I’ll get on it right away, should I inform the Silver Group?"

Donnie thought for a moment and said: "Don’t tell them yet, wait until the contract is signed on your end before saying anything!"

Since the contracts hadn’t been officially signed, Donnie wanted to prevent any complications from arising.

"Got it, understood!"

After hanging up, Donnie rested for a while.

It wasn’t until the time for Escovar’s party approached that Donnie left the hotel.

Many of Mexico’s power players knew the purpose of Donnie’s visit.

But like Escovar and others, no one thought the matter could be resolved so smoothly.

Yet when they saw Donnie and Joe Charles mingling amiably at the party, the shock was immense.

Because it implied another issue, with Donnie taking over the Mexican silver mines, it meant that the old British nobility led by Joe Charles had to leave Mexico.

Henceforth, no force in Mexico would be able to contend with Donnie!
