Chapter 687: 236, rocked the entire Wall Street_4 Chapter 687: 236, rocked the entire Wall Street_4 In such a situation, it’s very likely that the ABC reforms fail to be thorough.
“The United States is not a society of relationships, Americans do not rely on connections”—these two statements could be considered the most successful examples of American cultural export, and also one of the most shameless lies of modern America.
Otherwise, why would old Taft send Cameron Block to Yale University for another two years?
Did he really think Yale was better than Columbia University?
The fundamental reason is that he wanted to bring Cameron Block into the Skull and Bones circle, because Cameron Block’s joining the Skull and Bones meant that Donnie also had ties with the Skull and Bones.
Everyone would be in the same circle then, and many things would be much easier to accomplish!
If not for these matters, why would you think recommendations are needed for college applications?
Additionally, after graduating from college, if you can get a letter of recommendation from the school, you’ll have an easier time getting a job at a large company than students who don’t have one.
This is actually why there’s a solidification of the American power hierarchy.
Because within their respective circles, they can fully accommodate the new people emerging every year.
As for those not in their circles…
well, they aren’t any different from people in other countries, spending their whole lives paying off loans, all kinds of loans!

Donnie asked, “What did Mashang Evans come to tell you?”
Mark Pereira immediately relayed to Donnie what Mashang Evans had told him.
After listening, Donnie was tapping on the sofa, pondering what cards Mashang Evans held in his hand.
Although ABC couldn’t be considered a completely healthy company, the private matters within ABC were not something Evans dared to make public, because doing so would mean he wouldn’t be simply resigning, and even without Donnie getting involved, the government would have someone make Evans disappear.
Since it’s not that sort of issue, why would it need the cooperation of so many departments?
Could it be that he wants to play the traditional American game of striking?
What reasons would they use for that?
Donnie thought for a while but couldn’t figure it out, then he said to Mark Pereira, “I’ll be waiting here for your news tonight, I need to know what exactly Mashang Evans wants to do!”
Mark Pereira nodded, “Yes!”
The news of ABC President Mashang Evans’s formal resignation spread quickly on Wall Street.
This led to another drop in the already declining ABC stock price.
By the time work ended in the afternoon, the “Wall Street Journal” had published its commentary on the matter.
“This is a wrong decision!”
At the outset of the commentary, the “Wall Street Journal” directly gave a negative judgment on Donnie’s decision!
“The report suggests that KDKA is currently nibbling away at ABC’s market with its radio drama, and although the impact seems small for now, it’s precisely the time when ABC should be united and face this threat instead of resigning Mashang Evans at this critical moment, leading to the possibility of even more chaos within the company!”
Helen sat on the sofa, reading the content of the newspaper to Donnie.
“At the same time, the newspaper also suggested that such a decision of yours stems from your arrogant character, believing in your control over everything, and you will pay the price for your arrogance if ABC really experiences turbulence, providing an opportunity for companies like KDKA to rise!”
“It seems these people have forgotten who led ABC to this stage.
Just the departure of Mashang Evans makes them so pessimistic about the future of ABC!”
After listening, Donnie laughed disdainfully.
Placing the newspaper aside, Helen said calmly, “It’s quite normal.
Mashang Evans has been the leading figure of the company in New York for the better part of a year.
Although we all know his abilities are insufficient, that’s relative to a corporation of ABC’s size, but it doesn’t mean Mashang Evans himself is incompetent.
Moreover, with Mashang Evans as the president of ABC, he definitely has quite a few friends in New York.
Now that his friends have started to exert effort on his behalf, it’s an understandable development!”
Donnie nodded and said, “So you’re saying we used our company’s resources to now nurture an enemy of our own?”
After thinking, Helen told Donnie, “In fact, in dealing with Mashang Evans, I still think you were a bit too hasty.
Even if you wanted to remove him, it should have been done gradually.
His sudden dismissal is bound to make him do something crazy, and also make it easier for him to rally more people to his side!”
Donnie waved his hand and said, “I naturally understand that, but replacing Mashang Evans had become an imperative action.
ABC may seem like the number one broadcasting company in the United States with no competition, but you must realize that ABC has been around for only just over two years.
It takes years to build a skyscraper, but its collapse happens in an instant.
KDKA has already found a way to surpass ABC’s ratings during certain time slots, so they might find other ways to do so at different times.
Mashang Evans couldn’t even quell the internal factional strife within the company.
If the company goes under, those people can simply dust off and find jobs at other companies, but for us, it’d be a devastating blow.
Hence, the sooner we discover these hidden dangers, the better it is to resolve them early.
Given more time, Mashang Evans might be more adept at countering our measures.
It’s better to replace him now with swift and decisive action than to give him that opportunity.
Meanwhile, we could use this opportunity to directly resolve the internal factional fights within the company!”
The factional strife within ABC cannot be completely eradicated, but by changing a batch of people, the company’s combat ability could be increased as they take time to form new factions.
This was Donnie’s stance on the matter.
“Then how are we going to handle the issue with those board members?”
Donnie waved his hand and said, “Don’t bother with them; they haven’t even gotten over the last incident.
Right now, they are just inquiring about the specifics.
In a few more years, when they’ve forgotten the situation during ABC’s IPO, that’s when they’ll truly start to make a fuss!”
Donnie, who now held the absolute controlling interest in ABC, had never even considered playing Tai Chi with them; he simply told them outright that there would be no negotiation on this matter!
Late at night, around nine o’clock, Mark Pereira once again came to Donnie’s room, conveying to Donnie the thoughts of Mashang Evans…
