Donnie still hadn't waited for Paul Warburg, Shaw Gordon, Damour Bral, or Seymour Sacks, but instead, Charles Meilin from Merrill arrived!
"Mr. Block, we are the best partners, aren't we!"
Charles Meili adopted a rather sulky tone as soon as he saw Donnie.
The Trident Shipyard IPO didn't involve his company, and he let it go, seeing as Venus Bank needed partnerships with many firms.
But now that United Artists was going public, in a clearly more promising situation than the Trident Shipyard IPO, Donnie still chose not to collaborate with Merrill. Charles Meili couldn't hold back his frustration!
Donnie's face carried a smile: "I seem to recall Merrill had closer ties with Morgan, Mellon, and Rockefeller back then?"
Back during ABC's IPO, Goldman Sachs took the brunt as cannon fodder, while Morgan, Mellon, Rockefeller, and Merrill formally ganged up against Donnie in the stock market.
