America 1919

City Hall invested 700,000 US Dollars, cooperating with the privatization of the beach in front of the hotel and the hotel's tax policies, taking a 20% stake.

Nucky, you invested 1.5 million US Dollars, along with the transfer of land valued at 200,000 US Dollars and all actions taken in the hotel construction process, holding a 30% stake.

And I, investing 2.1 million US Dollars, also take a 30% stake, but the management rights of the hotel must be mine!

Nucky took the share distribution proposal from Donnie's hand, reading it carefully. It had all the details written out, allowing Nucky to clearly understand all the contents.

"As long as you, Donnie, have no problems with this share distribution, I'll have no problems. After all, you are the one contributing the most money!"

Before this conversation, Donnie and Nucky had already discussed the distribution of shares and the proportion of funds. Originally, when the New Jersey State Government wasn't prepared to join, City Hall didn't even need to invest money. Now with the State Government's involvement, both sides engaged in negotiations, eventually leading them both to put money on the table!

But no matter what, Donnie was the person among these four powers who put up the most cash.

"That's only right, after all, you Mr. Nucky completed all the preliminary work. If it weren't for your networking, this would not have been possible."Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Nucky laughed loudly, "If I had known our cooperation would be this pleasant, I would have worked with you much earlier!"

Donnie spread his hands, "I still remember, Mr. Nucky, you originally intended to arrange my life for me!"

Nucky was taken aback and then laughed again.

As things developed up to now, it seemed that everything was going smoothly.

Nucky didn't stay in Atlantic City for long, after meeting with Donnie, he went straight to Baharach to discuss stock distribution and hotel construction, and the next day he directly went to Trenton to continue the discussions.

Over the next few days, Donnie enjoyed a rare period of leisure.

Following the incident of Robert destroying the bootleg liquor, the number of tourists in Atlantic City noticeably increased.

As a result, whether it was the pubs, lodging apartments, or hotels in Atlantic City, all began to experience overcrowding.

"We can't keep up with the demand, simply can't keep up!"

Chris, exhausted, collapsed on the bar. Facing the teasing Walker, he was too tired to even look up at Walker's smug yet infuriating face.

"I anticipated an increase in customer flow here, but I never imagined it would increase to this extent!"

Following besides Walker, Maholi looked at the packed pub, disbelief in her voice.

Walker boasted, "According to an announcement from Atlantic City's City Hall, the customer flow in the past two days in Atlantic City has already broken through the 500,000 mark, surpassing last year's peak period!"

"I think every business owner in Atlantic City should be thanking Donnie Block now!"

Maholi took a cocktail from behind the bar from Walker and said with a smile.

At this moment, Chris mumbled, "Miss Post, then you've got it wrong. Right now all the owners in Atlantic City resent Donnie. You probably don't know, but just yesterday, the owner of the pub next door declared they must rest. Money can always be made, but they have only one life. If things continue this way, they'll die from exhaustion!"

Maholi paused slightly, then laughed and asked, "So, did they close today?"

"Hmph!" Chris snorted and said, "Banner is nothing but a liar."

Walker, curious, inquired, "By the way, how's the bootleg liquor business in the last two days?"

With the rise in tourists in Atlantic City, although businesses like storefront pubs had thriving sales, the illegal liquor trade in Atlantic City was actually more profitable.

The "Atlantic City Post" reported that if all the liquor consumed in Atlantic City these past days were poured into the Atlantic, it would turn the entire ocean to gold!

Chris waved away the question, "Don't ask me about that, just look at that kid Irving. I heard he's already planning to build himself a villa in the North District!"

Irving was just a puppet controlled by Donnie, and if even he, in these few days, had made enough money to build a villa, one could only imagine Donnie's earnings!

Maholi laughed, "Donnie has really made a very successful deal!"

Walker added, "That's true, this man always manages to turn decay into magic!"

Actually, when Walker said this, he wasn't just referring to the bootleg liquor business. With increased tourist flow in Atlantic City, Donnie's other industries also experienced explosive growth at this time.

Being a core member of Donnie's current team, Walker naturally had a better understanding of these matters, just take the newspaper and the betting as examples.

The popularity of Miss America continued unabated, and even the news of Robert destroying the bootleg liquor couldn't overshadow the Miss America hype.

Especially with the recent airing of the documentary about the Miss America city finals, everyone had seen on the big screen what the contestants from other cities looked like.

This caused "Atlantic City Post," the newspaper which allowed voting for the top three Miss America contestants from different city finals, to skyrocket in sales.

Previously, the "Atlantic City Post" had a record single-issue sales of 160,000 copies, but these few days it has already surpassed 300,000 copies. Every tourist who comes to Atlantic City is willing to cast a vote for their supported Miss America contestant.
