But none of them were successful, and if you say that just because of Miss Arica, they would be willing to co to Atlantic City, then I think you are being overly optimistic!
Donnie lit a cigarette for himself and asked Walker, "I ask you, as soone from a top-tier family, what do you think the wealthy are most eager to do after making money? Or what do they care about the most?"
Although the death of Astor IV marked the beginning of the decline of the Astor Family's glory, a cal starving to death is still bigger than a horse, not to ntion that the Astor Family had not starved to death yet!
After giving it so thought, Walker replied, "Enjoynt. For , nothing brings more pleasure both body and soul than enjoynt! But top-tier pleasure can be provided anywhere, not just here!"
Donnie shook his head and laughed, "Enjoynt is just a part of it. From what I see in your family, what top-tier tycoons care about most is actually their reputation. Otherwise, your elder brother wouldn't have started focusing on his own business just because of so ridicule from Madeline.
Moreover, what is top-tier enjoynt? Who decided what top-tier enjoynt looks like?
If I could define what top-tier enjoynt is, then the hotel I build will definitely be the most top-tier enjoynt.
Furthermore, in my opinion, every one of the top-tier tycoons has their own wealth sources they don't want exposed, yet they all lack a way to resolve this issue."
In front of Donnie, Walker took the cigarette, lit one for himself, and after pondering for a while, asked.
"I admit there are issues with what you ntioned, but can you solve all of them?"
Donnie confidently smiled, "If I couldn't solve them, why would I bring them up?"
Walker spread his hands and said, "Well then, I guess if you really can solve these problems, Atlantic City might indeed undergo a revolutionary change!"

"Nucky, that's impossible!"
Nucky was very efficient in his work; after his conversation with Donnie, he went straight to City Hall and presented Donnie's plan to Mayor Baharach.
After hearing the entire plan, Baharach directly gave his answer, not believing the plan would succeed.
"We've thought of so many ways to try to get the rich people from Philadelphia, New York to co to Atlantic City, to the extent that you visit New York every year to beco a celebrity of the town, but what's the outco?
The clientele of Atlantic City are still those blue-collar workers from Philadelphia, New York. Those wealthy people won't co to Atlantic City!"
Nucky seriously said, "You do have a point, but this is our opportunity. Imagine that if Atlantic City had a globally top-tier hotel, it would indeed be very attractive to those rich people."
Baharach continued shaking his head, "I acknowledge your statent, but how long can such attraction last, and how many people who co just to take a look can it retain?
I am not very hopeful about these numbers. You have to know, when the Ritz Hotel was built, they also had the sa beliefs, but what was the result?"
Baharach also had his doubts. With the election approaching, after which he would no longer serve as the mayor of Atlantic City, Baharach really did not want any uncontrollable events to occur at this ti.
But Nucky had been persuaded by Donnie, insisting, "Regardless, this plan has to be executed, Baha. I hope I can have your support. You should understand, if Atlantic City could change under your administration, maybe a bronze statue could be erected in your honor on the Boardwalk!"
Baharach still shook his head, "I cannot decide this matter alone. I need to discuss it with other officials at City Hall, and also with so mbers of the legislature!"
Nucky had already seen that Baharach was actually just giving excuses to brush him off.
So Nucky said dissatisfiedly, "You don't need to worry about the other officials at City Hall; they will agree to my proposal!"
Baharach continued to look for excuses, "Even if City Hall and the legislators agree, what about New Jersey? There will certainly be opposition there!"
As Nucky had already decided to go through with this matter, he certainly wouldn't give up halfway and said assertively, "You don't need to worry about that either. Tomorrow I will head to Trenton, and by then, the state governnt, the Senate, and the House of Representatives will also agree to my proposal!"
Trenton city is where the capital of New Jersey is located.
Seeing how firm Nucky was, Baharach helplessly shook his head, "Nucky, this will cause a huge loss to your wealth!"
Nucky spoke with conviction, "Or it might also increase my wealth!"
.
How to get New Jersey to agree to the legalization of the gambling industry in Atlantic City was Nucky's task, and what Donnie was now doing was actually scouting for a location for what would beco Atlantic City's, and perhaps even Arica's, most luxurious hotel.
"I think this spot is not bad. Guests staying here, upon opening the windows, would be able to enjoy the entire view of the Atlantic."
Walking on the Boardwalk, Donnie looked at a site at the entrance of the Boardwalk with keen interest and said.
