America 1919

Chapter 461: Sudden Upheaval in a Single Day



Facts have proven that the energy of the Rothschild family is still considerable.

Within just a month, the Rothschild family persuaded Congressman Rodlin and proposed the national networking of commercial banks in Congress.

"Just wait, today's process in Congress shouldn't be too smooth. As long as this bill is proposed, Morgan's side should be able to guess our real plan. The congressmen they support will surely oppose this matter. To get Congress's approval, it's definitely going to take several sessions!"

Anthony Rothschild, sitting in the study of Donnie's estate in Washington, said with a rather confident expression.

Amadei Gianini also showed a satisfied smile, unexpectedly finding that his plan to just delay time might actually succeed.

Now he had reason to be happy, saying: "Andrew Mellon has finally agreed to my lobbying, stating that as long as the bill is proposed in Congress, he would immediately push for the policy's execution!"

After Amadei Gianini finished speaking, both Anthony Rothschild and Amadei Gianini looked towards the master here, Donnie Block.

Now the aspects they were responsible for have achieved decisive progress, leaving only Donnie Block's part.

Donnie, sitting cross-legged on the sofa, smiled and said: "Rest assured, gentlemen, President Coolidge has also agreed to my suggestion. He will cooperate with the Treasury Department and Congress's actions to officially push the strategy of national networking of commercial banks!"

Amadei Gianini and Anthony Rothschild both showed smiles on their faces. If their joint actions achieved great success, this resolution could even be passed by the end of the year.

"Mr. Block, thank you for this matter. Without your help, things couldn't have gone so smoothly!"

Amadei Gianini earnestly spoke to Donnie.

Donnie smiled and replied: "Isn't this something I should do? After all, we completed the transaction. Since I promised you, Mr. Amadei Gianini, I will definitely push for this resolution's passage with all my strength."

Amadei Gianini once again showed a smile.

Even Anthony Rothschild, sitting on the other side, had a smile on his face at this moment. After the success of this matter, they would immediately establish a new banking system in California centered around the San Francisco Freedom Bank. Once this system succeeded, they could gradually eat away at the Italian Bank and Venus Bank business in California.

As long as Maurice Rothschild's side can quickly obtain Cameron Block's black materials.

Amadei Gianini also had his thoughts at this moment. Although their family lost a lot in this plan, the fundamental of the Italian Bank was preserved. As long as the fundamental of the Italian Bank was preserved, using its influence in California, without policy suppression, Amadei Gianini firmly believed that their Italian Bank would be the fastest-growing bank in all of California.

Everyone was very happy, as if their objectives had been achieved.

In such a situation, the phone on the table rang.

The few people in the study showed some excited expressions, calculating the time; this should be Congressman Rodlin calling!

Anthony Rothschild had already informed Congressman Rodlin that he would be waiting for their message in Donnie's study.

Anthony Rothschild answered the call, "Mr. Rodlin, which congressmen opposed your proposal at the meeting?"

Only by knowing which congressmen rejected this proposal, can they think of ways to persuade these congressmen. Of course, it is impossible to persuade them all; some congressmen supporting Morgan would certainly not agree. They need to overcome those congressmen whose interests aren't directly related. Once persuaded, this proposal could almost pass in Congress.

The excited voice of Congressman Rodlin came from the other side of the phone: "This proposal has already been passed by two-thirds of the congressmen. It will formally be submitted to the Treasury Department and White House!"

"What?"

Opposite, ironic to this expected result, Anthony Rothschild showed a surprised expression.

"Is there a problem, Anthony?" Congressman Rodlin expressed confusion about Anthony Rothschild's attitude over the phone.

"It's a big problem!" Anthony Rothschild shouted loudly into the phone.

Amadei Gianini looked at Anthony Rothschild in surprise; just now, he heard Congressman Rodlin's words over the phone. He directly shouted into the phone: "What is Congressman Fairmer's stance in this proposal?"

Congressman Fairmer is a staunch Morgan man; before becoming a congressman, Fairmer was a senior partner at Morgan.

"Congressman Fairmer also voted in favor of this proposal!"

Came the voice of Congressman Rodlin from the phone.

However, Congressman Rodlin also reacted at this point. This plan was originally proposed to counter Morgan's actions toward the Italian Bank, so how could Congressman Fairmer, with deep interests tied to Morgan, possibly agree?

After Anthony Rothschild hung up the phone, the atmosphere in Donnie's study was somewhat eerie.

The proposal's passage is good, but passing under such circumstances seems very strange.

Morgan unexpectedly offered no resistance and allowed this bill to pass?
