"This Phil Dupont, I think you must already know where he cos from!"
Nucky introduced Donnie to these two people.
Donnie knew that Harry D'Agostino would co, but he didn't expect soone from the DuPont Family to also arrive, "I'm very pleased to welco both of you to Atlantic City. I believe the beauty of Atlantic City will not disappoint you!"
Harry D'Agostino laughed loudly, "Yes, I really like Atlantic City. It's a beautiful city; of course, a beautiful city is always full of beautiful won!"
"Alright, girls, you can leave now, we have so matters to discuss."
Nucky found his jacket, which he had thrown to the ground, and took out 30 US dollars from inside it, which he divided among the three beauty contestants.
After they left, Nucky casually straightened out his clothes, and then said to Donnie, "Donnie, Harry is here to discuss with you Harding's speech in the primary finals, as well as so of the itinerary for the final competition.
Phil wants to talk to us about their sponsorship of Miss Arica!"
That was the consequence of the expanded influence of Miss Arica.
Originally, according to the previous agreent, Harding was only supposed to appear at the final competition to present the award to the winner of the finals.
But with the success of the city preliminaries, Harding, heeding the advice of his campaign team, decided to speak via radio during the primary finals.
"Donnie, I have to say, the Miss Arica election is truly a stroke of genius. You've given us an excellent new avenue for publicity!"
In the face of Harry D'Agostino's praise, Donnie did not take it to heart. Anyone with a slight understanding of Harding, the President of the United States, knew that his campaign manager Harry D'Agostino was a smiling tiger.
When he needed you, he could be very enthusiastic, but when he didn't need you anymore, to him, you were like a vagrant on the street, not even worth a glance as he passed by!
"I'm very happy to be able to offer more help to the future Mr. President!" Donnie humbly said.
Harry D'Agostino said earnestly, "Donnie, I'm afraid the pressure on you won't be small during this period. Both Harding and I hope you can withstand it!"
Increase in influence doesn't necessarily bring only good things; it can also bring so bad.
If Harding could see the influence of Miss Arica, so could the other presidential candidates. Harding's main purpose for coming this ti was actually to reassure Donnie so that he wouldn't be swayed by others.
Donnie nodded, "Of course, but Harry, you should also know that there are so people we simply can't afford to offend!"
Harry D'Agostino frowned slightly, but then his expression eased, and he smiled, "The United States is a society governed by the rule of law; no one can force anyone else to do sothing against their will."
"That's true!" Donnie first chuckled, and then suddenly changed the subject, saying with a smile, "I heard that before Mr. Harry beca the campaign manager for the President, he had spent so ti in the Coast Guard?"
Harry, hearing Donnie's words, looked at Nucky, who didn't speak, but there was a hint of sothing in his eyes.
"Of course, it just so happens that I have a good relationship with David Thompson from the New Jersey Coast Guard. If you need it, Donnie, I will arrange for you to et him!"
Donnie laughed heartily, "If that's the case, then it would truly be great!"
At present, Donnie's private liquor business was only limited to mid-to-lower grade homade alcohol, which restricted Donnie's business expansion, making it difficult for him to enter the high-end liquor market.
The main problem was that Donnie didn't have his own connections in the Coast Guard to bring European high-end liquor to Atlantic City.
If Donnie could get through to the Coast Guard, that would also cover the only shortcoming he had in the bootlegging industry.
Now that Harry had taken the initiative to visit and Donnie, who had already investigated so of Harry's background, naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity!
After reaching a certain understanding with Harry D'Agostino, Phil then said, shaking his wine glass, "Donnie, I mainly ca to discuss our upcoming partnership."
Donnie was unconcerned with Phil's deanor; since he was soone from the DuPont Family, a bit of pride was to be expected.
As long as the other party was willing to bring money, everything else was easy to talk about!
"Of course, may I know what kind of partnership Mr. Dupont is thinking about?" Donnie asked.
Phil Dupont said, "Of course, it concerns the continuation of Miss Arica. We believe that you, Donnie, definitely won't settle for just one Miss Arica competition, so General Motors would like to establish a long-term partnership with your Starry Entertainnt.
General Motors will sponsor Miss Arica for the next three editions of the competition, just like this year, three hundred thousand each year!"
Donnie's brow furrowed slightly. Three hundred thousand dollars a year in advertising costs seed plentiful, but that was from the current perspective. As Miss Arica's influence grew and more people bought radios, the influence of Miss Arica was sure to exceed its current status.
In Donnie's view, maintaining an annual advertising fee of three hundred thousand in the future would be inappropriate!
"I'm very grateful for Mr. Dupont's confidence!" Donnie said lightly, "Maintaining a long-term partnership with General Motors is naturally good for us, but regarding the price..."
