"Different people have different life choices!"
And Nucky knew about the stalemate in the negotiations between Donnie and William Fox.
So when the two t, Nucky personally poured Donnie a glass of whiskey and comforted him.
"Donnie, it's not that simple, those film rchants in Los Angeles are as greedy as the bankers on Wall Street. Fox is certain now that you won't be able to find a more suitable movie studio in a short ti, and he's also betting on the fact that the Miss Arica city preliminary contests are about to start, so he definitely won't give up on this opportunity."
Donnie took the glass, "Mr. Nucky, it feels like you're gloating!"
"Really?" Nucky looked at Donnie with a smile, then said casually, "Well, if you insist on thinking that way, I won't deny it!"
Donnie shook his head, "If William Fox fails to reach an agreent with in the end, he will definitely regret it in the not too distant future!"
Nucky shook his head at Donnie's stubbornness, but did not continue to try to persuade him; after all, he had not involved himself in the docuntary investnt. Besides, Nucky also hoped to see Donnie stumble on so matters.
In the past few months, Donnie's rise had been too rapid. Although Nucky did not feel threatened yet, it would be beneficial for him to have better control over Donnie if Donnie could take a fall.
"Alright, since you've made up your mind, I won't talk about this matter anymore. Let's talk about the Miss Arica preliminaries instead!"
At this point, Nucky sat down, and his expression beca serious.
"I've already spoken to the bosses of those cities on the phone, and they are very interested in this matter. They will join us as bookmakers during the event, but so are worried about what to do if a heavy favorite erges in the preliminary contests."
The preliminaries are different from the finals where hundreds of won stand together; there will definitely be a few who stand out, and naturally, they beco the hot favorites.
And Miss Arica, in order to attract more spectators, will certainly need to choose beautiful won to advance to the semi-finals and finals.
Simply put, the preliminaries will have fewer backroom dealings.
For bookmakers like Donnie, this actually limits their ability to manipulate outcos.
The result being that if everyone flocks to bet on the hot favorites, they naturally won't be able to make money... they won't lose money, but they'll definitely earn less!
This is the concern of the bookmakers in other cities.
"Nucky, you absolutely have to tell them, they must not give up the greater profits later for a small benefit now. Although the influence of Miss Arica has already grown large, more audiences are paying attention to the election itself, not the preliminaries.
So, according to my predictions, at the beginning, there won't be too many people betting. The real opportunity for us to make money will co at least by the city finals, when those who bet early will see the fairness we present, and those still watching will see so people getting rich from this event.
With such publicity, by the ti of the finals, there will definitely be more people betting and placing larger bets.
If a boss in any city breaks the rules we have already set during the preliminaries, then sorry, they'll just have to leave the ga!"
As the head bookmaker of the Miss Arica preliminaries, Donnie had the confidence to say so.
If those city bosses left the information provided by Donnie and ran their own books, Donnie could just slightly change the ranking order of the girls and make these people lose everything, even their underwear.
Nucky nodded, "Alright, I will speak to them about this matter and make sure they don't ss around!"
With Nucky's assurance, Donnie finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Donnie, you really owe a big thank you this ti, two months and finally your mission is complete!"
Just after Donnie returned to Block Tavern, he encountered the long-missed Brad Dorn!
The arrival of Brad Dorn filled Donnie with joy, "Does this an the license has co through?"
Even though Brad Dorn had already made a phone call earlier, without seeing the actual license, Donnie couldn't fully believe it.
Now everything was settled, Brad Dorn had returned, and he brought another piece of good news.
"The other cities have also agreed to let us build the signal transmission stations!"
Brad Dorn exclaid excitedly.
During this period, he truly experienced what it ant to spend money like water!
And it was Donnie's money he was spending, although most of it went into Donnie's broadcasting company, Brad Dorn also made quite a few of his own connections through this endeavor.

"Dear Dorn, you are the number one contributor to Atlantic City Broadcast!"
Donnie too was thrilled and grasped Brad Dorn's hand, this news was indeed tily rain for him, as he had been worrying about how to further expand Miss Arica's influence.
At the very least, to ensure more viewers would tune in when the docuntary was released.
Now Brad Dorn had brought him such good news!
"Haha, this is what I should do, after all, the reward you've offered, Donnie, is just too tempting!"
Brad Dorn, having completed his mission, was very happy as well.
Donnie did not let Brad Dorn down and imdiately threw a grand party for him at Block Tavern.
Although negotiations between William Fox and Donnie had been unsuccessful, William Fox had beco a loyal patron of Block Tavern.
Every night, William Fox would co here for a drink, play a couple of gas, and sotis even take a girl from Block Tavern back to the Ritz Hotel.
Today, as usual, when the evening lights were coming on, Williams Fox arrived at Block Tavern.
The familiar bunny girl imdiately ca over to serve him.
Seeing Donnie and Brad Dorn among others happily chatting away, William Fox asked curiously, "What happened that has Donnie so happy?"
The bunny girl took William Fox's coat and said with a smile: "Mr. Brad has obtained a business license for our boss's broadcasting company, and Atlantic City Broadcast will beco the first comrcial company in the United States. Our boss is celebrating with Mr. Dorn and others right now!"
As a filmmaker, William Fox certainly knew about broadcasting and understood even better the power of the first comrcial broadcaster in the United States.
Instead of asking the bunny girl to take him to a private room for a few gas as usual, William Fox spoke to her a bit urgently.
"I need to have a serious talk with Donnie!"
