Chapter 1034: 353. Take over Portugal’s financial market_3

The only thing that left Antonio Carmona somewhat helpless was that Donnie didn’t tell him how Donnie would make the Portuguese people stop believing in their current government.

"So, Mr. Block, can you tell me how you will make the Portuguese people dissatisfied with the current Portuguese government?"

Donnie waved his hand and smiled, "General Carmona, before we discuss this matter, I think we should first agree on what benefits we can obtain once you become the President of Portugal?"

Antonio Carmona knew that if he wanted the support of the United States, he would certainly have to pay some price, a decision he had already made in his heart long ago.

"Then please, Mr. Block, do tell!"

Donnie said, "Three conditions. First, I want to acquire the Central Bank of Portugal, meaning that from now on, the boss of the Central Bank of Portugal will be Venus Bank! Of course, in acquiring the Central Bank of Portugal, we will adhere to basic commercial rules to prevent others from attacking you, and all you need to do is support our commercial activities!"

Antonio Carmona’s face changed slightly; he suspected Donnie would make a big demand, but he didn’t expect his appetite to be so large, asking straight away to acquire their Central Bank of Portugal!

Though Antonio Carmona is a soldier, he understands that if his country’s central bank is controlled, it essentially means that Portugal’s financial market is controlled.

Looking at the situation of the Rothschild Family in Europe, Antonio Carmona understands that if he agrees to Donnie’s condition, he is essentially handing over Portugal’s financial authority to Donnie!

This is a situation Antonio Carmona does not want to accept!

"Mr. Block..."

Donnie waved his hand, "General Carmona, you should listen to my three conditions completely before you give your unified opinion; then we can discuss it thoroughly!"

Antonio Carmona nodded.

Donnie continued, "Second condition, after General Carmona becomes the supreme leader of Portugal, I hope our Ares Arsenal can become the sole partner of the Portuguese military!

Third condition, I want the management rights to Macau!"

Making the Portuguese military the first major client of Ares Arsenal is something Donnie had planned long ago. Although Ares Arsenal has started production, due to its short founding time and the tangled interests of the United States military forming a massive network outsiders find difficult to penetrate, even Donnie needs to infiltrate it gradually.

Thus, Ares Arsenal must have a major client outside of the United States military to increase its visibility.

Moreover, Donnie has prepared a revolutionary weapon for Ares Arsenal, which he believes, once introduced, will immediately change the global rifle landscape!

It needs a stage!

After listening, Antonio Carmona shook his head helplessly; for him, these three conditions are increasingly difficult to achieve.

"Mr. Block, these three conditions...well, let me address them one by one. Regarding acquiring the Central Bank of Portugal, I believe based on Mr. Block’s financial capability, it can be done, but you should know that handing the Central Bank of Portugal over to an American, even if using proper commercial rules, won’t be accepted by the Portuguese people. Even if I become the supreme leader of Portugal, I still need to balance various forces, and they won’t agree.

The second condition is like the first one; I can appoint Ares Arsenal as one of the suppliers to the Portuguese military, but cannot make it the only supplier.

The third condition is manageable; I can grant you the management rights to Macau, but nominally the Governor of Macau must be a Portuguese official!"

Donnie had long suspected that Antonio Carmona would not easily agree to his conditions!

"The third condition is workable, I can agree with you on this!"

Donnie first reached a consensus with Antonio Carmona on the situation in Macau.

"I know the first two conditions are difficult for you to accept, but if General Carmona can agree, then 10% of the profits from Venus Consortium’s all commercial activities in Portugal will be deposited into your private account at Venus Bank, and I can provide you with a guarantee through the White House, even if anything unexpected happens in Portugal in the future, you will still be a good friend of the United States and can come to the United States anytime to continue enjoying your life!"

Donnie’s condition made Antonio Carmona somewhat tempted, and although he doesn’t believe anyone could threaten his position after his military coup.

Yet having an additional path is always good, and in terms of business, Antonio Carmona fully understands he’s no match for Donnie.

If Donnie can really develop in Portugal, then he doesn’t have to worry about his wealth!

Seeing Antonio Carmona silent, Donnie continued, "General Carmona, I regard Portugal as a lever for Venus Consortium’s entry into the European market. Thus, I must do well regarding Portugal’s economy, as it’s the only way to provide maximum assistance for my future business in Europe, so rest assured I won’t disrupt Portugal’s economy!"

Antonio Carmona pondered for a moment; although he was slightly moved, the matter is too significant, requiring serious consideration over a period of time.

"Mr. Block, I need to discuss it with my people before I can give you an answer!"

Donnie nodded and said, "Alright, but General Carmona, I hope you can reply to me as soon as possible, as the opportunity in Portugal is fleeting!"
