Donnie, dressed sharply, greeted Elena before leaving her ce and saw Dwight waiting for him in the car.


    "Let''s go, back to the tavern!"


    Donnie didn''t ask Dwight why he had requested toe here the night before.


    By now, Dwight had be apetent driver and naturally didn''t inquire about Donnie''s activitiesst night either.


    Upon returning to the tavern, Chris said to Donnie, "Bruce just called and said to call him back as soon as you get here!"


    "Could it be more good news?"


    Donnie went to the phone and dialed the hotel in Phdelphia where Bruce was staying.


    "Donnie, it''s a done deal!" came Bruce''s excited voice on the line. "I''ve found a film productionpany here willing to shoot each documentary for 70,000 US dors. Fox wanted 150,000. Let him have his fun!"


    Donnie too was overjoyed after hearing this; good news seemed to being one after another these days.


    "That''s great, How''s their quality?"


    While the lower price made Donnie very happy, he was even more concerned about their capabilities.


    "I''ve seen the films theirpany has made, the quality is definitely not an issue, and I''ve already sent the film over to you. You''ll be able to see it by noon today."


    Delighted, Donnie said, "Okay, if there are no problems after I''ve watched it, then have them send someone over to discuss the specifics."


    "Will do!" Bruceughed, then continued to update Donnie about the private speakeasy business in Phdelphia—a topic he hadn''t delved into in detail while he had been contacting filmpanies these past few days in Phdelphia.


    He only knew the gist of it: Philly''s bootleg business was currently controlled by two major gangs, one led by Salvatore Be of Sicilian descent and another by Harry Rosen, known as ''Nig''.


    Furthermore, these two gangs had been provocatively jostling over Antic City''s speakeasy businesstely, causing the Phdelphia police much headache.


    "That''s all I''ve managed to gather for now; I''ll have to wait for more detailed information!"


    "Okay, I''ll be waiting for your good news!"


    After ending the call with Bruce, Donnie would''ve cracked open a beer to celebrate if not for the fact he had drunk too much the night before.


    "Boss, William Fox is here!"


    Dwight approached Donnie and whispered.


    Donnie looked toward the tavern''s entrance and indeed, William Fox, wearing a ck suit, walked in.


    "Dear Donnie, I''ve thought it over. We''ll go with your figure, 110,000 US dors per documentary. We can sign the contract now and I''ll send ourpany''s filming team to each city immediately!"


    William Fox chose topletely capitte, otherwise, he might indeed lose Donnie as a client.


    Donnie shook his head, his expression one of regret, "Dear William, if you had told me that figurest night, we would already be partners. However, now, if you still want to partner with me, then the price must be reduced to 60,000 US dors!"


    Since the filmpany in Phdelphia had offered a price of 70,000 US dors, it clearly indicated that thesepanies were still making a profit.


    Donnie suddenly felt the anticipation of being a client holding a bidding process.


    As Donnie''s mood improved, William Fox''s souredpletely.


    He had already conceded, and yet the other side was still pushing further.


    However, considering the benefits these three documentaries would bring to hispany, William Fox forced a smile through clenched teeth, "Donnie, you truly have a sense of humor. Not to mention 60,000 dors, there''s no way any filmpany could make that work for even 70,000!"


    Donnie spoke indifferently, "I''m not joking with you, William. Our staff is currently in Phdelphia and has already contacted the filmpanies there. They have epted our offer!"


    William Fox''s face went pale; he hadn''t expected Donnie to be so cunning, already sending his staff to Phdelphia while negotiating with him.


    Phdelphia''s film industry had indeedgged far behind Los Angeles.


    Butcking as it might be, it still existed.


    "No, dear Donnie, I''m familiar with Phdelphia''s film industry. Their technology is outdated; they couldn''t achieve the quality you''re after!"


    William Fox still tried to struggle.


    But Donnie, uncaring, smiled and said, "Our documentaries don''t actually require that advanced technology. As long as it can perfectly capture the looks of those girls, that will be enough. So Mr. Fox, is yourpany willing to bring the price down to 60,000 dors? For Walker''s sake, if the prices are equal, I''ll choose Fox Films!" Discover more content at mvl


    Obviously, William Fox couldn''t ept the 60,000-dor price tag. Fox Films had be a first-ss filmpany in Hollywood while Phdelphia''s filmpanies were like small workshops inparison.


    A small workshop could drastically cut costs, but argepany couldn''t.


    In the end, William Fox could do nothing but leave Block Tavern with a sense of resignation.


    At that moment, Donnie was indifferent to William Fox''s departure.
