People outside were concerned about the list of the top eight contestants from the Miss America Antic City pageant; they discussed which beauty contestant didn''t live up to her name, which one was ranked too low, which was ranked too high.


    After the celebration ended, Donnie cared about whether the influence of this event had spread out and exactly how much money he had made!


    Unfortunately, he had to wait until the next day to get a rough idea of these matters!


    When Donnie woke up, it was already morning, and lying beside him were the third and fourth ce contestants of the Miss America Antic City pageant!


    Without bothering with these two, Donnie got up and after having a bite of breakfast in the Ritz Hotel''s restaurant, headed to the stronghold of Starry Entertainment.


    All the financial reports on the betting values for Miss America were handled by Starry Entertainment.


    The external betting was managed by Robert.


    When Donnie strode into Starry Entertainment, the smile on everyone''s face indicated the sess of the previous night.


    The ounting manager Terry Rollins handed over the financial report he had prepared as soon as Donnie sat in his office!


    "Boss, ording to the statistics fromst night, a total of 32 tickets were sold at the preliminarypetition, totaling 32,000 US dors in cash, while 5,120 flowers were sold, with revenues of 102,400 US dors, totaling 134,400 US dors. After all costs, our profit is 107,520 US dors, ording to the share, we will give Mr.


    Nucky 53,760 US dors, and we will have the same amount of money."


    This does not yet include the ie from all the Block Taverns across Antic City!


    Furthermore, profits from sales in the other ten cities have already been established via telephone contact; preliminarypetitions in ten cities have provided us with a total of 161,280 US dors. This sum is ours alone, Mr. Nucky''s portion has been removed!


    Therefore, after calctions, we pulled in a total of 215,040 US dors fromst night''s Miss America preliminarypetition!"


    Upon hearing this figure, even Donnie could not remain unaffected. Originally, based on his calctions, even considering external earnings, he expected to gain an ie of around 300,000 US dors at most.


    But the situation now was such that, without even adding the external ie, his earnings had already surpassed 200,000 US dors!


    It could only be said that the influence of the top-ranking brother was indeed tremendous!


    After learning of this data, Donnie did not leave the ce. Instead, he asked Robinson, who was waiting at Starry Entertainment, toe to his office.


    "Boss, sales data from this morning''s newspapers have note out yet, but I''ve already sent people to monitor every newsstand. ording to the data reported by our people, at least two out of ten people in Antic City today, including tourists, will buy our newspaper."


    And I believe that as the Antic City pageant''s top eight speeches begin, the newspaper''s sales will surge even higher!"


    As the permanent poption of Antic City is around forty-five thousand, the tourist poption can exceed ten times that number. Following Robinson''s estimates, today''s sales of the "Antic City Post" could surpass 90,000 copies, far exceeding the existing poption of Antic City.


    Moreover, this number would also set a record for newspaper sales in Antic City and possibly the entire state of New Jersey!


    The "Antic City Post" is priced at 3 cents per copy, meaning if we are to sell 90,000 copies, that''s an ie of 2,700 US dors, the sales for a single day. With a profit of 0.6 cents per copy, the "Antic City Post" would have a ie of 540 US dors in one day.


    The newspaper industry is such that if your sales volume is high, your advertising revenue naturally increases as well.


    "Very good!" Donnie was pleased with the result.


    "Every day, and I mean every day, you need to publish the previous day''s voting ratio for the top eight contestants. Starry Entertainment will provide you with the exact data!"


    In theory, such data should be easy to calcte, but in reality, it''s not the case because Donnie intended to create a tense atmosphere.


    The so-called tense atmosphere meant making the votes for these top eight contestants close to each other, continuously encouraging all voters to keep buying the "Antic City Post" and voting for their preferred beauty contestant.


    In the end, even if a contestant was perceived by the audience to have the highest voting rate, the final decision still required votes from the judges at the scene.


    As for the judges'' final votes... Donnie could manipte those as well.


    In short, to put it simply, Donnie wanted to truly control the oue, with the aim being to better circle in money!


    Money from betting pools on the sidelines!


    This required a massive amount of calction, a workload beyond what the "Antic City Post" could achieve.


    Robinson nodded, "Understood!"


    Afterward, Robinson reported another matter to Donnie: "Boss, the other three newspapers contacted me again this morning. They''ve buckled and allowed us to invest."


    Last night, Paul Ss and the others were reluctant to agree to discuss an investment with the "Antic City Post."


    But this morning, even though the sales volume of each newspaper had not been released, they had staff monitoring the newsstands too. The dismal sales made them realize that the only way forward was to ept investment from the "Antic City Post," otherwise they would not survive.
