Chapter 1192: Chapter 408: Time to Prepare for Florida
But what Robert doesn’t know is that in three months, the Miami hurricane will land in Florida.
By then, everything in Florida now will turn to nothing. By then, Florida’s currently most brilliant finance, real estate, and tourism industries will suffer devastating blows.
According to records, before the Miami hurricane, 31 banks in Florida had already closed down, and these bank closures were all impacted by the real estate industry. At this time, Florida’s real estate development projects usually form their own systems, forming independent fortresses wherever they are developed and built.
In terms of fundraising for development, developers often use their new buildings in bustling areas as collateral to issue real estate bonds to the public, while the Florida State Government also adopted ‘tax-exempt municipal bonds’ to fund improvements in various municipal facilities!
With the Miami hurricane destroying the entire state of Florida, the real estate bubble burst directly, causing all developers to plunge millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of funds into oblivion, never to be seen again.
Private capital, government capital, everything will turn into nothing at this time.
And all those who invested in Florida will suffer heavy losses.
As long as Donnie brings a large amount of capital into Florida at this time, Venus Bank will be the savior here, whether for the Florida State Government or in facing private capital.
Historically, after the Miami hurricane, many consortiums in the United States saw this opportunity because they all knew that this disaster in Florida was a natural disaster, not because Florida was really unviable.
So they immediately started to enter Florida to grab the market, but because the Miami hurricane came so suddenly, no one could predict it, so no group had prepared cash in advance.
This led to the fact that Florida’s reconstruction continued intermittently for several years before returning to its previous level!
What Donnie needs to do now is to let the Venus Consortium enter the Florida market as soon as possible, so that he can use this incident to establish good relations with the Florida State Government and various city governments.
In Donnie’s view, Venus Bank’s successful penetration into Florida is even ahead of Texas.
Now, with the expansion of Venus Ranch in Texas, it has already aroused dissatisfaction among those old cowboys in Texas. In just this week, there have been three incidents of old cowboy teams attacking the ranch in Texas.
Chris Kamp, after receiving Winston Marl’s plea for help, dispatched a team of over a thousand people to Texas to escort Venus Ranch three days ago.
“We’re not entering the Florida market right now, but it’s precisely because the Woburg Family’s development in Florida is getting faster and faster that we can’t let them complete their plans so smoothly.
Paul Warburg has been traveling back and forth between Florida and New York for more than a year, clearly liaising with his previous connections. Bankers on the New York side now see Paul Warburg redeveloping with the help of the Florida market, and they all choose to continue cooperating with him. If we don’t do something, within a few years, Paul Warburg will be able to manage Florida as we manage New Jersey. By then, it will be even more impossible for us to enter Florida, and we will have a strong rival.”
Although Donnie and the Woburg Family are in-laws, their relationship is really calculative, with both wanting to acquire each other’s assets.
In Donnie’s plan, the Venus Consortium’s global layout should follow the triangular strategic trend of the United States, Europe, and Asia. Only in this way can Venus Consortium ensure stable development.
Similarly, Venus Bank also has its triangular strategy in the European market.
The first corner has now been established, which is Portugal.
And the other two corners are the United Kingdom and Germany!
The United Kingdom is easier to discuss, as it will eventually be one of the victors of World War II. But Germany is different; it’s a defeated country and was divided into East Germany and West Germany. Germany will then be a cake for these victorious countries to devour, and Donnie’s task is to join in and partake of this cake.
Before this, Donnie must have his own business in Germany. Before this, Donnie and Zhan Ning Woburg’s father, Max Woerberg, co-founded an insurance company, jointly underwriting the logistics business between Germany and the United States, and the business is doing well.
Even when the two families have a collision, this company is operating normally.
But considering the Woburg Family’s infiltration of this company, Donnie did not invite the head of this insurance company to the previous Venus Consortium conference.
A single insurance company is not enough; what Donnie really covets is the Deustche Bank controlled by the Woburg Family.
Only by controlling Deustche Bank can one truly gain real status in the future great war.
Now the Woburg Family has been blinded by the benefits in Florida. Donnie has learned through his sources that the other party has repeatedly transferred funds from Germany.
