America 1919-Chapter 450 - 176. When the wall falls, everyone pushes (A ten-thousand-word chapter, repaying the debt~)_5
When James O’Neal and Robert Stuart saw William Mellon walk into the room with Donnie, their faces changed.
At that moment, they finally understood where Donnie’s funding was coming from!
Mellon Bank!
"How could we be so foolish, thinking all along that Donnie couldn’t mobilize much funds, after all most of his money wasn’t clean, and if he rashly entered the stock market, he would certainly be investigated.
But we forgot about Donnie’s relationship with Mellon and Morgan, the other party doesn’t need their own funds for this!"
Both men thought the same thing, but they did not think their previous misjudgment was due to their inability, but because at the start of this battle, no one would have thought that Donnie could win.
If it were a battle sure to be lost, then naturally, it would not be possible to get more care from other people.
"William, we haven’t met for a long time, and you didn’t even call us when you came to New York, do you not consider us as your friends?"
Robert Stuart spoke with some dissatisfaction.
If they had known earlier that Donnie was collaborating with the Mellon Consortium, they would never have lent that $500,000 to Harry Sinclair!
William Mellon laughed, "I just recently had some free time and took a vacation, so I didn’t think to bother you two. Besides, at that time I didn’t know the two of you were in New York!"
James O’Neal and Robert Stuart exchanged a smile and then shook their heads. Dwelling on this issue at this time was now pointless.
However, Robert Stuart quite frankly said to Donnie, "Donnie, this time we are here to concede defeat and are also willing to make restitution for the previous incidents, it’s your call now!"
James O’Neal nodded, "That’s right, we won’t say we were misled by Harry Sinclair, because at that time we truly were unhappy with your cherry-picking actions. Now, we are sincerely apologizing to you, my intent is the same as Robert’s, please name your terms!"
So this is the legendary act of bending the knee without losing face.
Donnie looked at the two men’s somewhat forceful apologies, smiled lightly, and knew why they had come to apologize. In fact, even after Donnie defeated Harry Sinclair, Donnie had no intention of going after these two oil companies!
Because if he were to do that, Donnie would be making enemies of the entire oil group in the United States, after all, behind these three oil companies were different interest groups, and these interest groups were entangled with each other.

If Donnie really made a move, then fearing victory wouldn’t be so simple anymore!
"Since you two have come today, it shows that you have let go of the grievances between us. As there are no more grievances, we are naturally friends. In my view, among friends, there is no right or wrong, let’s all laugh it off and let bygones be bygones. What do you think?"
James O’Neal and Robert Stuart both showed surprised expressions. Although they had learned of Donnie’s character from Eduardo Doheny, they thought that at a time like this, even if Donnie was open-minded, he should show some derision towards them.
But now, Donnie didn’t utter a harsh word, instead suggesting to let the matter slide.
This unexpected approach made them both feel somewhat embarrassed.

And it was this change of emotions that led Robert Stuart to say with an awkward smile, "Donnie, we didn’t expect... But rest assured, since you said we are friends, then we will surely take care of Pandora Oil Company’s wells in the Bowei region, let’s develop together!"
Friends?
Donnie believed that, not long ago, they too were good friends with Harry Sinclair, but now, they had abandoned Harry Sinclair in the blink of an eye!
After all, being with these people, one must understand one thing: interests!
Only interests can truly and forever bind people together!
"If that’s the case, then that’s really wonderful!" Donnie said with a smile, "However, there is one thing, I would still like to ask for your help!"
James O’Neal said, "Go ahead, Donnie, say it!"
Donnie asked, "I want to know, how much money did Harry Sinclair borrow from you, and what is his financial situation now?"
James O’Neal and Robert Stuart looked somewhat embarrassed, this was asking them to betray Harry Sinclair, thinking that they had been friends before, and now to perform such an act of betrayal was indeed somewhat awkward!
"Harry borrowed a total of one million dollars from us. He also came to us for money today, but we did not lend to him. I believe in the short term, Harry Sinclair should not be able to gather much funds!"
Feel embarrassed if we must, but now we are friends with Donnie Block!
James O’Neal said to Donnie.
Donnie nodded, "That’s about what I expected, it looks like Mr. Harry Sinclair doesn’t have any moves left this time."
"It should be the case!" Robert Stuart nodded.
Donnie spoke again, "As friends, I should apologize for previously impeding the construction of your companies, so there’s one thing I think you should know!"
