Chapter 184 108, the center of public attention_2

    ```


    As for the concerns you mentioned, he certainly understood them, but I have seen through Donnie now. He''s a very confident and aggressive man.


    Such a man, certain of his irreceability, also believes that City Hall cannot do without his business strategies. I don''t believe he doesn''t have tricks up his sleeve, but as long as City Hall and I own two-thirds of this hotel''s shares, and I also gain control of the charitable foundation, then Donnie will always be my worker!"


    "Haha!" Damai Jamesughed and said, "Well, since you''re so confident, I won''t say anything more about that matter. Let''s talk about the incident that''s supposed to happen today."


    At this, Damai James looked at Nucky and asked, "Do you really think Donnie Block''s method canpletely turn around the crisis this incident has brought?"


    Nucky had already exined Donnie''s n to Damai James.


    "The sess rate is at least over fifty percent. Now, the most difficult part isn''t Donnie''s actions, but those reporters from other newspapers who stayed in Antic City. As long as these people change their reporting direction, there will be no problem at all with this issue!"


    In Nucky''s view, the hardest part of the whole situation was how to deal with these reporters.


    A stroke of the pen can sway the direction of reporting left or right, and it''s a troublesome issue. Media is meant to manipte public opinion and guide the masses.


    Why did the Block Tavern''s fatal incident cause such a nationwide uproar? Wasn''t it because the media focused all their reporting on the serious consequences triggered by this event?


    James nodded, saying, "I hope Mr. Donnie Block of Antic City can resolve this matter as well. After all, everyone at this afternoon''s House of Representatives meeting is waiting for the oue. As long as there''s no problem on the House side, the Governor''s situation will be much easier to handle!"


    In Antic City, Nucky could manipte everything single-handedly, controlling City Hall, gang members.


    Harry once said that winning Nucky''s support was akin to getting the support of New Jersey, but in reality, Nucky''s influence was not as absolute in New Jersey as it was in Antic City.


    Just like the current Governor of New Jersey, whose rtionship with Nucky seemed close, they were not at the stage of sharing the same pants.

    The two shared an important mutual interest, which was the rtionship pertaining to Prohibition. Governor Edwards, having received support from Nucky and the previous Governor, became the new Governor of New Jerseyst year, and his most important campaign promise was, "I n to thwart the enforcement of Prohibition in this state."


    In fact, Edwards did as he said. New Jersey was thest state in the United States to ratify Prohibition, and its enforcement was dyed by two yearspared to other states!


    This was the seemingly close rtionship between the two, but Edwards had his own political needs. As a politician, he couldn''t simply follow Nucky''s lead in everything.


    This was different from the situation in Antic City with Baharach!


    Nucky said with a smile, "I believe Governor Edwards would be very happy to see Antic City grow into one of the most important cities in the United States!"


    Jamesughed and said, "Well, now let''s hear about how Donnie ns to make a counterattack in this situation!"


    .


    Los Angeles, an outdoor cafe on Sunset Boulevard.


    Theedy master Charlie Chaplin and his coborator Griffith were sitting there drinking coffee, with passersby asionally ncing at the two men of such renown.n/?/vel/b//jn dot c//om


    Chaplin and Griffith were already ustomed to such attentive gazes.


    "I imagine Walker would be quite unhappy after knowing your decision, wouldn''t he?"


    Griffith joked with Chaplin, "With such a scandal breaking out in Antic City, I think you shouldn''t even bother going there!"


    Chaplin waved his hand and said, "I have to go, Walker''s influence is still significant. Without his help, the film back then wouldn''t have beenpleted smoothly."

    "As long as I don''t have to be a judge or present an award, that''ll be fine!"


    Gerry had long be ustomed to his old friend''s personality and didn''t mind his decision.


    "It''s just a pity about Donnie Block. I actually have some interest in him. If it weren''t for this incident, I think he would definitely be a well-known figure in the United States!"


    Charlie Chaplinughed and said, "Isn''t he already a nationwide celebrity now?"


    Gerry alsoughed, "But I think, this is certainly not what he wants."


    Chaplin spread his hands, "Then there''s nothing that can be done, no one''s life can always be smooth sailing."


    Chaplin''s words made Gerry think about their current situation at United, and he shook his head helplessly, "I heard that Walker already called you, saying that Donnie Block has a solution?"


    Chaplin waved his hand nonchntly, "It''s just a tactic to persuade me. The situation has already developed to this point, what solution could Donnie Block possibly have?"


    Gerry checked the time, "There''s not much time left until nine o''clock. Whatever solution Donnie Block has thought of, we will soon find out."


    Chaplin looked at Gerry and said with a smile, "Why do I find that you seem very concerned about this matter?"


    Gerry replied with a smile, "Through Donnie''s issue, I was reminded of ourpany''s current predicament, so I was thinking, if Donnie Block can solve the problems he is facing, maybe he could provide some ideas for solving the issues ourpany is dealing with!"


    Chaplin gave a dismissive wave of his hand, "How could that be possible? The situation we''re facing is much more serious than Donnie Block''s, and besides, how could a bootlegger from Antic City possibly have a way to solve ourpany''s problems!"


    "Ha ha!" Gerryughed loudly, "Regardless of whether he has a solution or not, we still have to listen!"


    This time, Chaplin didn''t counter Gerry!


    Gerry continued, "By the way, if Donnie Block really manages to solve his problem this time, I''m actually quite interested in visiting Antic City to meet this young Mr. Block!"


    Chaplin said, "Then I fear you may not have the chance!"


    While the two were chatting, the time reached nine o''clock.


    Gerry stood up and went to his car, where he took out a radio.


    "The time hase, let''s reveal the answer to the riddle!"


    Turning on the radio, Gerry tuned to the Antic City Broadcast channel.


    "Regardless, the business radio station Donnie founded is truly admirable. Nowadays, if I don''t listen to the Antic City Broadcast content daily, I feel like something is missing!"


    Gerry joked.


    Chaplin didn''t respond to Gerry''s words, which in itself meant that, deep down, Chaplin had no objections to what Gerry said!


    The Antic City Broadcast had indeed be an essential listening program for many people!


    In Antic City, Donnie, dressed in a sharp suit, said to Robert with a smile, "Today is your first public appearance in front of the entire United States, don''t be nervous!"


    Robert chuckled and replied, "Don''t worry, I will definitely make thousands of American girls go crazy over my voice today!"
