"But howe I''ve heard KDKA broadcasts at your house?"
"That must have been an illusion!"
Everyone was discussing this matter, and Antic City Broadcast used this opportunity to once again increase its listener base.
With the growing number ofmercial radio stations in the United States, there were also statistics on listener ratings.
ording to statistics, Antic City Broadcast''s listener rating could reach 70% on a regr day, and would soar above 85% during major events or live sports broadcasts! Experience more on My Virtual Library Empire
That means in every hundred radios across the country, at least seventy are tuned into Antic City Broadcast!
One could say that Antic City Broadcast was crushing thepetition.
With Antic City Broadcast''s continuous good news, itspetitors naturally had a hard time.
A specific organization calcted that within this period, at least thirty domestic radio stations had closed down.
And KDKA, which had previously advertised itself as apetitor to Antic City Broadcast, announced at this time that their General Manager, Vasili Bernard, had officially resigned from his position at KDKA.
For those who were unaware, it seemed like a normal personnel change, but those in the know understood that it was because KDKA urgently needed a scapegoat after failing to secure exclusive broadcasting rights to the high school football league against Antic City Broadcast.
Additionally, due to this event, the funds that KDKA''s board of directors had prepared for KDKA''s business expansion were also stopped.
At the same time, Luke Jackson, who had yed a key role in the establishment of KDKA, was also undergoing an internal investigation by Westinghouse!@@novelbin@@
"Times are turbulent!" Donnie said with augh after learning about KDKA''s situation.
"Aren''t all these the consequences of what you''ve done?" Alice, who had already returned from New York, said with a light chuckle.
Donnie nonchntly replied, "How could this be my doing? I was merely seeking development for Antic City Broadcast!"
"This would have happened if Harding were in power, but if the President were still Wilson, or my father, or Helen''s father, they would certainly have initiated anti-trust investigations!"
Alice then gave Donnie a look.
The several Presidents before Harding were very much against trusts, and during their terms, multiple major American consortia were investigated on the grounds of being trusts.
The famous Rockefeller Family''s Standard Oil was dismantled during this period, but although Standard Oil was broken up, in reality, through various stock maneuvers, thesepanies remained under the control of the Rockefeller Family.
And through this dismantling, the Rockefeller Family grew even stronger.
That''s why at the time everyone said that the Rockefeller Family was looking forward to another trust trial!
"But that''s all in the past, now that Harding is in charge, I naturally don''t have to worry about these things!"
Donnie said with a smile.
Because of Harding''s rtionship with American consortia, this led to an environment during his presidency and those of several subsequent Presidents with simr policies, where trusts were once again given the ground to grow.
Many of theter famous trust consortia took shape during this period!
Alice huffed again and said, "Howe I heard that Helen didn''t leave Antic City on the same day as me?"
Donnie looked at Alice in confusion, "Is that so? I had no idea."
Alice stared at Donnie''s arm, suddenly grabbed it, and fiercely bit into it.
Donnie, feeling pain, instantly tried to push Alice away, but she bit down hard, and Donnie didn''t dare to use too much force.
"Are you insane?"
```
After Alice released him, Donnie rubbed his arm, looking at the neat bite mark and angrily shouted.
Alice didn''t care about Donnie''s attitude at all, but looked at him triumphantly and asked, "Did you two do that thing?"
Donnie, rubbing his arm with displeasure, said, "Which thing?"
"You know, that?"
Alice asked, her face turning slightly red.
Donnie understood what Alice meant and thenughed, "You really want to know?"
Alice, seeing the expression on Donnie''s face, suddenly snorted coldly, "I don''t want to know at all!"
Donnieughed heartily, "Maybe you should try it, you might even get ahead of Helen!"
Alice was initially taken aback but thenughed, "Dream on!"
After their yful banter, Donnie asked Alice, "How are things in New York? Any problems?"
Alice replied irritably, "What problems could there be? Now all the girls are signing up like crazy, each one wanting to be Miss America. If there''s any issue, it''s just that there are too many applicants!"
Donnie, hearing this oue, also showed a satisfied smile. If that was the case, he had nothing to worry about.
This year''s Miss America just needed to proceed ording to n!
With that in mind, Donnie knew what his next n should be!
"Oh, by the way, Starry Entertainment said there''s a minor issue with the selection process in Chicago. They want me to go and learn how to solve it. What do you think?"
Alice looked at Donnie with anticipation, hoping that he would ask her to stay. After all, with Helen not in Antic City, she had more chances!
Donnie smiled, "You''ve just returned from New York, so don''t rush off again. Rest up in Antic City for a few days!"
"Good that you know what''s what!" Alice showed a satisfied smile.
Donnie chuckled, he indeed wanted Alice to stay in Antic City, but not just for her to rest.
Next, for Donnie, there was a massive n to initiate, different from his current arrangements in Antic City. It could be said that it was Donnie''s second stronghold established outside of Antic City.
However, this n involved the U.S. Government.
Although Theodore Roosevelt had passed away, the Roosevelt family''s influence in American politics was still very strong!
With Alice as a great asset, many things would be much easier!
"So, how long can I stay in Antic City?"
Alice wrapped her arms around Donnie''s arm, making him feel her firmness.
Donnie smiled, "At the very least, you''ll have to wait until the match between Jack Dempsey and George Caponti is over. Didn''t you say before that you wanted to watch that match?"
Alice happily spread her arms and then suddenly hugged Donnie''s cheeks, finally nting a firm kiss on them.
"That''s wonderful!"
Donnie said, "Are you this happy just to stay by my side?"
Alice stubbornly said, "I''m happy thinking about the look on Helen''s face when she finds out about this!"
Donnieughed heartily, "Alright, I''ve got work to handle. You go home and rest!"
Alice left happily, and as she reached the door, she asked Donnie, "Will youe back tonight?"
