Chapter 259 127. Monopolizing the private liquor business nationwide_4

    "If we were to take action then, we''d facepetition from the entire country, so it might be better to take a roundabout route," he mused,"by establishing our liquorpany in Canada well in advance, allowing the American public to familiarize themselves with our brand years earlier. That way, when the Prohibition in the United States is lifted, we can capture the market more smoothly!" Enjoy new adventures at empire


    Through the nationwide Family Alliance formed by the gang leaders, we will prepare the distribution channels in advance and build a reputation for our brand in the United States, so that when Prohibition is eventually repealed, regardless of whether these gang leaders can peacefully continue as our agents.


    By that time, Donnie had already taken the lead in the alcohol business nationwide.


    If everything goes ording to Donnie''s n, he will be thergest alcohol producer and vendor in the entire United States in the future.


    This alone could bring Donnie profits in the billions per year!


    Having realized all this, Donnie returned to his ce in the West District, although he now had residences in both the North District and the East District.


    But Donnie still preferred the orderly West District.


    In the days that followed, Donnie''s life was very routine. In the mornings, he would visit the construction site of the Surf Hotel.


    As the architectural drawings werepleted, the construction of the Antic City building had officially begun. It was a bustling scene, and Donnie enjoyed watching his hotel rise from nothing.@@novelbin@@


    In the afternoons, he would head to Block Tavern. Here, Donnie was not there to enjoy his leisure time, but to deal with various matters.


    Antic City Broadcast had already begun live broadcasting of Major League Baseball games.


    Following Donnie''s instructions, Antic City Broadcast hired a professional sports host, as well as three retired Major League Baseball stars as gamementators.


    Their banter and arguments during the broadcasts had be a favorite feature for the audience.


    This also drew an increasinglyrger listening crowd for Antic City Broadcast.


    This was reflected in the sales of radios. Since Antic City Broadcast started broadcasting nationwide, the sales of radios had seen a significant increase, with a 50% increase over the usual sales.


    General Electric radios, in particr, were selling better.


    The negotiation team from General Electric had already arrived in Antic City, and after several rounds of discussions, the two parties finally agreed: Antic City Broadcast would exchange 30% of its shares for a 2.5% stake in General Electric.


    There was no choice, although many people were optimistic about the prospects of Antic City Broadcast, General Electric, being a superpany with a nationwide presence, was valued too highly. Obtaining 2.5% of General Electric''s shares was already an achievement for which Antic City Broadcast had to fight hard.


    It was the share swap that made the partnership even tighter. General Electric further invested a significant amount of advertising money in Antic City Broadcast.


    This enabled Antic City Broadcast to set up its own transmission stations more smoothly nationwide.


    At the same time, Donnie alsopleted his loan contract with Morgan.


    Donnie took out a loan of 3 million US Dors in his own name from Morgan, with a term of 3 years and interest amounting to 300 thousand US Dors...the total interest over three years, and this loan was to be repaid in full after 3 years in one go!


    Additionally, the negotiation between Morgan and Mellon over the Surf Hotel was concluded.


    Eventually, Morgan acquired a 2% stake in the Surf Hotel, while Mellon Bank took 3%.


    Donnie, Nucky, Antic City City Hall, New Jersey State Government, Morgan, and Mellon Bank also held an official meeting, during which the six parties signed a new share distribution agreement.


    In fact, this also means that Antic City will be the first city in the United States to have a legal gambling industry license, without any doubts.


    Because with Morgan and Mellon''s involvement, the State Senators from New Jersey who had previously opposed this matter have also changed their stances one after another.


    Now, Antic City is just one procedural referendum away from bing the first city in America to have a legal gambling industry license!


    At the same time, like Breton Bank, both Morgan and Mellon Banks began selecting locations and building their own branches in Antic City!


    During this period, the Family Alliance in the United States also finallypleted its first meeting. Although there were many frictions, the oue was ultimately good.


    At the final Alliance meeting, everyone confirmed their respective territories and reached a non-aggression treaty.


    What''s more important is that a true consensus was reached regarding everyone''s interests.


    Thepletion of this matter truly relieved Nucky, who even excitedly took the initiative to find Donnie and had a good chat with him.


    After talking with Donnie, Nucky immediately went to Trenton because even though Antic City was just one formal referendum away from bing a city with legal gambling, Nucky didn''t dare to rx!


    Donnie was very gratified by Nucky''s dedication.


    Then, news came from Hollywood, where the movie starring Jessica Dole was now officially in production.


    Although Jessica Dole was not among the top three in Miss America and did not even enter the nationalpetition, it was undeniable that after Miss America ended, Jessica Dole became the most sessful contestant in that edition.


    When November arrived, the United States faced this year''s most important event.


    The presidential election, weing its final vote.


    It was for this election that Antic City Broadcastunched a special program exclusively covering the event.


    Moreover, Antic City Broadcast perfectly inherited the fine tradition of the current United States media, which is an absolutely correct political stance.


    On Antic City Broadcast, one could always hear about Harding''s campaign ns and policy decisions, but what about Harding''s opponents?


    Sorry, but if your name appears on Antic City Broadcast, it means there''s definitely a scandal!


    At this time, Westinghouse''s radiopany was finally established, and as in history, it was still called KDKA!


    If Antic City Broadcast supported Harding, KDKA naturally supported Harding''spetitors.


    However, KDKA was no match for Antic City Broadcast at this time. Comparing their listening audiences was like the Dream Team of the United States ying against a domestic elementary school league!


    But none of this mattered to Donnie. What really mattered was that Bruce, who had spent several months in Europe, had finally returned!


    "How was it? Was your trip to Europe a smooth one?"


    Donnie asked somewhat impatiently!


    Although Donnie already had ns for Canada, those were deferred ns and they had to be built on the condition that the channels in Europe were fully open!
