Nucky's face lit up with a satisfied smile as he said, "This is why I appreciate Donnie Block, his thoughts may be profound, but there's no denying that his ideas for developing Atlantic City are the same as mine."
Damai James laughed heartily, "That's because the better Atlantic City develops, the better business is for you guys!"
Nucky too laughed heartily.
New York, an open-air cafe!
"Haha!" Griffith laughed loudly, "That Donnie is really something, being able to publicly admit their mistakes on the radio. This can mitigate the impact of the issue to a certain extent!"
Charlie Chaplin shook his head, "Not enough, their current approach is only resolving some of their issues at a local level, but it's impossible to completely reverse their national impact!"
But Griffith, unconcerned, said, "What does that matter? I know a bit about Atlantic City. Its main visitors are blue-collar workers from Philadelphia, New York. As long as they allay those people's concerns, that's enough!"
Charlie Chaplin snorted coldly once more but didn't express his opinion on the matter further.
Griffith knew that he had touched a nerve with Chaplin, who was now feeling irritated.
"Besides, we haven't finished listening to Mr. Robert Lillard's speech; perhaps he really has a solution!"
"...Finally, in order to eliminate everyone's concerns about Atlantic City, Block Tavern has specially purchased all the whiskey of the same kind in one go, spending nearly a hundred thousand US Dollars. But that's not a concern now, even if it bankrupts us, we want to make Atlantic City a healthy, positive, and uplifting city."
So, now, in front of all the people of Atlantic City, all the journalists, all the tourists, and every radio listener, we will destroy all the whiskey, rum, and brandy in Atlantic City that poses safety hazards, all at once!"
Every attendee on site, every listener in front of the radio, was shocked by Robert's last words.
Nearly a hundred thousand US Dollars worth of whiskey, rum, and brandy to be destroyed all at once?
While everyone was puzzled, Robert had already put down the microphone and took an ax from Westglenn's hands, decisively walking toward the barrels filled with whiskey, rum, and brandy.
Those listening on the radio couldn't see the scene, only learning of Robert's actions through the host's words.
"Mr. Robert Lillard has approached the barrels numbering over a hundred, he's raised the ax high, then brought it down with force... Booom, the first barrel was smashed open, golden liquid flowing out, the scent of whiskey spreading along the shore of Atlantic City, the poor quality liquor was flowing into the Atlantic..."
Chicago, Shield Hotel, Harding's temporary office. Listening to the radio, Harding couldn't help but excitedly pat the desk.
"Genius, genius, only a genius could come up with such a method, Donnie is that genius, his method is brilliant. After today, no one will doubt the enthusiasm of Atlantic City again. From now on, Atlantic City will be a benchmark city in the United States!"
Seeing Harding's excited demeanor, Harry was also very happy. He knew that this time, Donnie had really made a phenomenal comeback, and this event would surely go down in American business history.
By now, probably no one would doubt the sincerity of Atlantic City anymore.
Bootleggers from all over the nation would flock to Atlantic City... Harry could almost see countless banknotes waving at him.
"Harry, call Donnie immediately, tell him we will definitely arrive in Atlantic City on time, I want to give a major speech in Atlantic City."
When Donnie had set up this benchmark for Atlantic City, the entire nation would view Atlantic City as a representative of credibility, and any presidential candidate elected from this city would also be seen as a representative of integrity, owing to Atlantic City's influence!
Harding had already thought of this first thing.
"My dear Harding, even if we want to call Donnie, it's not possible right now!" The latest_epɪ_sodes are on_the NovᴇlFɪre.nᴇt
Harry had also thought of the same issue Harding had, but he still didn't call Donnie immediately, even though he very much wanted to get on the phone with him right away!
"Why not now? Why not now, Harry, I can assure you that other people are definitely starting to call Donnie!"
Harding said urgently.
"You can rest assured on that front!" Harry tried to reassure him, "Donnie is our staunch ally, he wouldn't choose anyone else. What I mean is, Donnie must be at the scene right now, even if we call his office, he won't be able to answer!"
"Still, we should call! Even if Donnie isn't in the office, we can leave a message with his assistant, letting Donnie know that we called him at the first opportunity!"
Seeing Harding's demeanor, Harry could only say helplessly, "Alright, I'll call now!"
"Although I had already learned of Donnie Block's plan from you, I must admit, experiencing it firsthand is still incredibly shocking!"
