As long as Venus Bank holds shares in General Electric and Westinghouse respectively, although these two companies won't form a monopoly, Venus Bank can still monopolize the domestic electrical industry in the United States, and that's enough!
At this moment, Donnie had even figured out that after completing the shareholding of these two companies, he would spice things up. For instance, he could convey some of General Electric's leading technologies to Westinghouse through special means, or reveal some channels of Westinghouse to General Electric.
Let them maintain a competitive relationship of chasing after one another.
Furthermore, Irving still hadn't thought of something, not because he wasn't smart enough, but because his current position didn't allow him to see such a high-level picture.
Donnie chose to keep Westinghouse and General Electric from merging for another reason, which was to avoid triggering the sensitive nerves of the American public.
