Capítulo 1629: Chapter 601: No One May Challenge Donnie Block’s Authority!

George Archer encountered the problem that Rudwell Wells also encountered at General Motors and Cadillac.

Since Venus Bank took over General Motors from DuPont, Rudwell Wells has become the president of General Motors and Cadillac.

The result of the discussion on Rudwell Wells’ side was actually similar to the result of the discussion on ADM’s side.

They dared not resist Donnie’s order, which was to first suspend Donnie’s order and report the recent development plans and financial status of the consortium to Donnie Block.

They hoped Donnie Block could change his order after reviewing these.

Before Donnie left Washington for Germany, George Archer and Rudwell Wells reported the situation of the two consortiums to Donnie, and they received a response from Mackenzie Pop.

“The boss wants you to bring the top management of the consortium to Washington and explain the recent development plans and financial status of the consortium in detail to the boss!”

George Archer and Rudwell Wells didn’t think much about this order, after all, it involved the future development plans of the entire consortium for the next few years.

It was only right for them to personally explain these matters to Donnie.

Bringing the top management of the group was probably because Donnie wanted to know the specific circumstances.

Upon receiving Donnie’s order, George Archer and Rudwell Wells took their respective group’s top management to Washington.

At the same time, this matter also reached the ears of the top management of each group under Venus Bank.

Everyone was not clear about the specifics of their meeting with Donnie Block, only knowing that Donnie issued an order to these two groups.

And these two groups believed that Donnie’s order contradicted the group’s current policies, so they wanted to suggest Donnie change his order.

Everyone in the groups was very concerned about this matter.

As previously mentioned, with Atlantic City granting these groups more autonomy, whether they want it or not, ultimately, this autonomy can accelerate the group’s development pace, while also creating numerous interest groups.

Now ADM, General Motors, and Cadillac want to debate the group’s development plans with Donnie for the sake of the group’s development.

The matter itself had no issues, but everyone was also thinking that if ADM, General Motors, and Cadillac could change Donnie’s order.

Then wouldn’t it be possible for their own group to do the same in the future?

“Do you think they can persuade Mr. Block?”

“Whether they can persuade him or not isn’t important, what’s important is that finally someone can present different opinions to Mr. Block!”

“Exactly, as long as Mr. Block makes even a little concession this time, in the future, when we receive orders from headquarters, we can present opinions to Mr. Block tailored to our own circumstances!”

“This will be an epoch-making change!”

Everyone was discussing this matter. In the past, Donnie rarely directly ordered the specific operations of any group; he only set the big direction for them.

And because of Donnie’s power within Venus Bank, no one dared to dispute Donnie’s orders.

Human desire is endless; with 1 comes the want for 2.

Now they are all bigwigs in the group’s locality, but above them is Donnie, and while they are willing to be led by Donnie, they still hope to gain more power from him.

Thus, amidst great anticipation, the presidents of ADM, General Motors, and Cadillac, along with the high-level management of the group, arrived in Washington.

Donnie received them in his manor.

Nearly fifty people from the two groups sat in the manor’s garden, where an oval-shaped conference table was already set up.

At the same time, some chairs were placed around the conference table for those who didn’t qualify to sit around the oval table.

Led by the manor’s servants, everyone took their seats. At this moment, Donnie had not yet arrived, and they were whispering to each other.

“We must clearly explain the group’s situation to Mr. Block, and analyze the pros and cons, only then can we get Mr. Block to change his order.”

“Exactly, given the group’s current scale, any change in established policy would cause great losses to the group, and right now there is no need to change the existing development policy.”

“Mr. Block is a leader willing to listen to others’ opinions; when reporting later, let’s try to be as tactful as possible!”

As these people were discussing, Donnie arrived at the meeting venue accompanied by Mackenzie Pop.

The high-level management of the two groups stood up upon seeing Donnie approach.

Donnie unhesitantly took the main seat, a smile on his face.

“I heard that everyone has some different views on my previous order, and I also wonder if my order is indeed out of touch with the group’s current development status, so I’ve invited everyone here today to listen to your thoughts.”

After Donnie finished speaking, there was no sound at the scene. Although many had said before the meeting that they had much to say to Donnie.

But now that everyone was really sitting here and seeing Donnie.

No one dared to take the lead for the moment.

After all, until now, no one in the entire consortium had dared to defy Donnie’s order.

Seeing no one speak, Donnie could only continue to smile and say: “If no one speaks, then I will assume that my order is correct, and I also believe you all support my order, and thus these orders will have to be implemented!”
