America 1919

Chapter 251: 125. The Future Planning of Atlantic City_3



Walker had already sent someone with the blueprints for the new hotel in Atlantic City.

"Nucky has seen them already, and he is very satisfied with the blueprint, saying that as long as there are no problems on your side, boss, we can officially start construction!"

"Where are the design blueprints?"

Donnie had just arrived at Block Tavern and got out of the car.

Steve Cotting said, "They've been placed on your desk!"

Donnie nodded, walked into the tavern, where the noise and bustle were as usual. When the patrons inside saw Donnie return, they raised their glasses to welcome him back!

"Hey, Donnie, where have you been all this time? I thought I wouldn't see you before I left!"

Salvatore Savalla from Philadelphia, sitting at a table with his brother, called out happily when he saw Donnie.

Donnie waved at him, "How could that be? Knowing that my brother Savalla is in Atlantic City, I had to rush back!"

Salvatore Savalla laughed heartily, "Then we must drink to our hearts' content today!"

"I can't today, my brother. I still have a lot of work to do. Tomorrow, I'll buy you a drink tomorrow!"
Experience tales with empire

"Alright then!" Salvatore Savalla said with a laugh, "Then let's really enjoy ourselves with a good drink tomorrow!"

After that, Donnie greeted a few other people and went straight to his office.

Sure enough, he saw the design blueprints that Walker had sent on his desk.

When he saw the blueprint, Donnie immediately felt it resembled the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas from his memory.

However, at that time, Las Vegas had not yet become the first city in the United States to legalize the casino industry, so naturally, there was no Bellagio Hotel!

"I have no objections, we can build according to this blueprint!"

Donnie was very pleased with the design.

"General Electric has already called, and they have agreed to your terms, boss. However, Westinghouse hasn't called yet!"

Now that Donnie had approved the blueprint's design, Steve Cotting brought up another matter.

Having control of Atlantic City Broadcast and giving away some shares for better benefits was undoubtedly a good deal for Donnie!

In fact, Donnie had been more inclined to cooperate with General Electric even before this, and now that they had agreed to his conditions, he naturally had no issues.

So, Donnie called Owen Young.

"Mr. Young, General Electric can send an official negotiation team over now, let's discuss the details of our collaboration when they arrive!"

"My God, Donnie, you finally called me, I thought you had disappeared!" Owen Young said exaggeratedly over the phone.

"But Atlantic City Broadcast is really amazing. Events happening in Los Angeles, even the Los Angeles Times hasn't caught on yet but Atlantic City Broadcast is already doing a live broadcast.

At that time, I was wondering just how many listeners in America heard the riot in Hollywood live!"

Owen Young didn't know about Donnie's trip to Los Angeles, and naturally, he didn't know that Donnie had orchestrated that riot behind the scenes. He was just marveling at the formidable news channels and response capabilities of Atlantic City Broadcast.

Indeed, this was also why Owen Young was even more resolute about collaborating with Donnie!

"Isn't capturing hot news on time a quality that every journalist should possess?" Donnie said with a laugh.

"Everyone knows the principle, but not everyone can actually do it!"

Owen Young then said, "My people will head to Atlantic City tomorrow, and I hope we can finalize the contract as quickly as possible!"

Donnie replied, "That's what I think too."

"By the way, Morgan's people will also be heading to Atlantic City tomorrow!" Owen Young reminded Donnie.

"That's great; I just happen to need to discuss the loan with them!"

Now that the design blueprints for the new hotel had been approved, it was time to start construction, and Donnie naturally needed the funding Morgan had promised him!

"Donnie, there's something you might not know yet!" Owen Young's tone became somewhat serious at this point!

"What's that?" Donnie asked.

"I've heard that Westinghouse has officially begun applying for their own commercial radio license, and I think it won't be long before we have another competitor!"

Donnie was not surprised by the news. Since Westinghouse had not been in touch with him until now, they were likely to abandon cooperation with Atlantic City Broadcast.

But the influence of broadcast had already been demonstrated by Atlantic City Broadcast, so Westinghouse surely wouldn't give up on this industry.

Therefore, it was only natural for them to set up their own broadcasting company.

"Anyone can start a broadcasting company, but not every broadcasting company has the exclusive rights to Major League Baseball, nor does every broadcasting company have the strong news sources and nationwide transmission facilities that Atlantic City Broadcast has!"

"Haha!" Owen Young laughed, "It's because of these considerations that our company wants to develop Atlantic City Broadcast with you, Donnie!"

Donnie said with a smile, "Then we can discuss the specifics of our cooperation in detail when your team arrives. Right now, I've got a lot of pending work to deal with!"
