Chapter 317 143, Assassination

    "My fellow citizens!"


    After the great catastrophe, people looked at the world around them. Although it was aplete mess, they still felt joy for the new things that had toughly passed the test. As for Americans, when we breathe fresh air, we have a strange feeling of mixed sorrow and joy. We witnessed fanaticism ignite wars across the world, but we firmly believe that our republic is unshakable..."


    Harding''s inauguration speech was being broadcast on Antic City Broadcast.


    Starting today, Harding would officially moving into the White House, bing the next President of the United States.


    Donnie sat in his office, listening to the content of the broadcast, and his mood was very good. Harding''s appointment marked a new era for the United States.


    And the deals Donnie had with Harding and Cab members could now officially begin.


    "Donnie, the affairs of Antic City are in your hands!"


    Inside the radio, Harding''s speech continued, but Nucky was already seriously discussing Antic City with Donnie.


    "I''ve already contacted Harry, and today I will go to Washington to officially sign the highway construction contract between New Jersey and Pennsylvania for the road between Antic City and Phdelphia!"


    Nucky now did not have the attitude of questioning in anger that he had disyed a few days ago when conflicts arose between Donnie and Nevin Byrd; instead, he was all smiles.


    "The construction of the highway means that from now on, there will be more and more convenient options for people traveling from Phdelphia, New York to Antic City. Although Harding has already agreed to our ns, we still need to be cautious, this stage absolutely to be free from any other idents!"


    Donnie earnestly admonished.


    Nucky nodded, "Rest assured, I won''t let anything go wrong with this!"


    For Nucky, the construction of the highway between Antic City and Phdelphia not only meant that Antic City''s development would reach a new level but also that the value of thend he had previously stockpiled would double.


    When ites to the increase in personal wealth, Nucky was very serious.


    "However, you should also pay attention. Nicky Limo has already started to falter. As long as Nicky gives up, then Nevin Byrd''s troubles will no longer be troubles. Antic City cannot afford any chaos at this time!"


    Nucky was also warning Donnie. Previously, Donnie had publicly struck Nevin Byrd in Block Tavern, which worried Nucky that it might exacerbate the conflict between them.


    But now a few days had passed, and Nevin Byrd had made no response, which somewhat relieved Nucky!


    "Rest assured, if he doesn''te looking for trouble, I won''t touch him!"


    Donnie said with a smile.


    Looking at Donnie''s expression, Nucky always had a sense of doubt but couldn''t say anything due to theck of evidence.


    After Nucky left, Mashang Evans, the general manager of Antic City Broadcast, came to Donnie''s office.


    "Boss, President Harding''s inaugural speech may have brought us more listeners, but at the same time, it brought not a few new listeners to KDKA. I heard they are now in contact with the American college football league. The league is not very satisfied with the partnership treaty we proposed. On the contrary, they seem very pleased with KDKA''s terms.


    I''m worried that if this continues, KDKA''s audience will certainly keep growing!"


    Antic City Broadcast had already started contacting the American college football league at the end ofst year. Although their fame wasn''t on par with Major League Baseball, they were even more difficult to deal withpared to baseball.


    They had seen the immense benefits that live broadcasting could bring to a radiopany, which whetted their appetite.


    The exclusive broadcasting rights of Major League Baseball cost only one million US dors per year, yet the American college football league dared to ask Antic City Broadcast for eight hundred thousand US dors for exclusive broadcasting rights!


    Even though this fee was twenty thousand dors less than Major League Baseball, the gap in influence between the two was not merely that twenty thousand dors!


    Naturally, Antic City Broadcast would not agree.


    Then, KDKA joined in. Seeing apetitor emerge, the American college football league became even more brazen.


    So the two sides had been negotiating for more than three months, still without an agreement.


    Donnie frowned slightly and said, "Send an invitation letter in my name to Reid Haggie, inviting him to Antic City!"


    Mashang Evans showed an embarrassed expression and said, "Sorry, boss, I didn''t expect that you would have to step in personally to resolve this issue in the end!"@@novelbin@@


    Donnie waved his hand and said, "What''s important now is to solve the problem, not to talk about these useless things!"


    Mashang Evans nodded, "Understood, I''ll write the letter to Reid Haggie right away!"


    After Mashang Evans left, Donnie rubbed his forehead. Although Antic City Broadcast was not his most profitable business, it was the sharpest sword for enhancing his influence, and Donnie would not allow anypany to affect his ns in this matter.


    But this would have to wait until the chairman of the American college football league, Reid Haggie, arrived in Antic City.


    Donnie had other matters to attend to now.


    So tonight, at Block Tavern, Donnie met with Nevin Byrd.


    "What''s up?" Nevin Byrd sat in the tavern''s main hall with a sullen look and said to Donnie, "Mr. Block, are you nning to give me another couple of ps here in Block Tavern?"
