Chapter 1675 - 624: Entrusting the Next
Generation
After Andrew Mellon stepped down from his position as Treasurer, he returned to his hometown in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
Pittsburgh is located in the southwestern part of Pennsylvania, more than 400 miles from Atlantic City.
After receiving a call from William Mellon, Donnie took a train to Pittsburgh.
When he arrived at Andrew Mellon's castle in Pittsburgh, William Mellon was already waiting for Donnie in the castle's parking lot.
"How is Andrew's health?"
William Mellon shook his head and said somewhat sadly, "Not very good, he hasn't been eating much these days!"
Donnie shook his head slightly, feeling a bit saddened by Andrew Mellon's illness.
The two have known each other for over a decade, and during the development of Venus Bank, although Andrew Mellon had caused some obstacles, the two officially allied afterwards.
The Block Family and the Mellon Family have been the closest of friends since then.
Donnie even placed his friendship with Andrew Mellon above that with the Rockefeller and Morgan families.
Now, Andrew Mellon's days are numbered!
Led by William Mellon, Donnie reached Andrew Mellon's bedroom.
Andrew Mellon's son, Paul Mellon, his daughter-in-law Rachel Lambert Mellon, his daughter Elza Mellon Bruce, and son-in-law David Bruce were all in the room.
The windows in the room were closed, Andrew Mellon leaned on the bed, looking a bit pale. When he saw Donnie enter the room, he showed a slight smile.
His voice was intermittent, "My... friend... you've finally arrived... I thought I wouldn't be able to see you before I go to meet God!"
Donnie showed a smile, came to Andrew Mellon's bedside: "I think God will give me this favor!"
"Haha!" Andrew Mellon laughed aloud, then immediately coughed, after settling himself down, he said: "In the entire federation, perhaps only you are qualified to say this!"
Donnie smiled and said: "I take this as your compliment to me!"
"My friend, my time is limited!"
Andrew Mellon said with a carefree expression.
Donnie joked: "I thought you would be very angry!"
"Of course I'm angry!" Andrew Mellon said helplessly, "But when I found out that anger was useless, I could only accept it!"
Donnie nodded and said: "That's indeed how it is!"
Inviting Donnie over wasn't just casual talk among old friends.
"All of you go out, William stays!"
Inviting Donnie over was actually to prepare for his affairs after passing.
Paul Mellon, Rachel Mellon, and Elza Bruce all wore expressions of sadness, nothing else, but Elza Bruce's husband David Bruce looked at William Mellon with a somewhat angry expression.
However, this anger was well hidden!
In the bedroom, only Donnie sitting by the bed, Andrew Mellon leaning on the bed, and William Mellon standing by remained.
"Block, I'm going to meet God soon, initially I thought I could accept
all of this calmly, but now I find that I can't!"
Donnie chuckled lightly, "If I were in your shoes, I wouldn't be able to either!"
"Indeed!" Andrew Mellon sighed and said: "From now on, the Mellon Consortium will be handed over to William!"
Donnie said: "My friend, rest assured, I still say the same thing, as long as the Mellon Family does not abandon their friendship with the Block Family, I won't abandon the friendship between the two families!"
Andrew Mellon squeezed a bit of a smile: "I trust you on this, and no one trusts you more than I do!"
"William!"
"I'm here!"
"Forgive me!" Andrew Mellon apologized to William Mellon: "Forgive my selfishness, although I hand over the Mellon Consortium to you, I leave more shares to my children!"
Andrew Mellon gave most of the shares he held in the Mellon
Consortium to his children.
But the management rights of the family consortium were handed
over to William Mellon.
William Mellon said: "You don't need to apologize to me, I will
definitely manage the Mellon Consortium well!"
Andrew Mellon nodded and then turned to Donnie: "My friend, you should understand that I didn't just invite you over to reminisce,
right?"
"Of course!" Donnie smiled and nodded.
Andrew Mellon said: "William is capable of maintaining the current state of the Mellon Consortium, but expanding, that's not possible!" This is the current situation of the Mellon Family, Andrew Mellon's children have no interest in business, let alone managing the
consortium.
This is also why William Mellon can accept Andrew Mellon's current arrangement calmly.
But hearing Andrew Mellon's evaluation of himself, William Mellon was still somewhat helpless.
"Therefore, Block, the first thing I invite you for is to hope that you can supervise William Mellon, not let him expand unnecessarily, it will not only fail to increase the Mellon Family's wealth, it might also cause a loss of the wealth I've accumulated!" Donnie first looked at William Mellon and said: "Andrew, this request is somewhat excessive, is cooperation between the Block Family and the Mellon Family also subject to regulation?"
Andrew Mellon smiled again: "If Block you wish to guide the Mellon Family in development, I naturally have no objections, so I hope you can become the Vice President of the Mellon Consortium and serve as
a director of the Mellon Consortium.
This is also my second request!"
Andrew Mellon has already spent over ten years observing the Mellon Family's children.
