Although investing in Atlantic City Broadcast was the most pressing matter at hand, Donnie did not contact Owen Young and Luke Jackson imdiately.
Negotiations are just like this, the one who becos anxious first loses their montum.
After sending Walker Maholi and others back to New York from Atlantic City, Donnie began to lead a life akin to an emperor who does not hold morning court.
Owen Young and Luke Jackson did not leave with Harding but stayed in the city, trying to et with Donnie multiple tis, only to be blocked by Steve Cotting every ti.
"Check, check thoroughly. I refuse to believe that money can't buy Donnie's itinerary in Atlantic City!"
Neither Owen Young nor Luke Jackson were content to just wait in their hotel for a eting with Donnie, and both began to leverage their connections to find out about Donnie's whereabouts in Atlantic City, hoping for an early encounter.
Especially on the third day when they heard on the broadcast that Atlantic City Broadcast had officially signed a partnership agreent with Major League Baseball, and that Atlantic City Broadcast would henceforth start live broadcasts of ho gas from New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Boston, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Washington.
This news caused an uproar nationwide, although everyone was aware of the imminent collaboration between Atlantic City Broadcast and Major League Baseball, the actual completion of the partnership still ca as a shock.
Especially the fact that Atlantic City Broadcast had decided to quickly construct transmission stations in the remaining cities with Major League Baseball ho teams, planning to integrate all live broadcasts of the gas into Atlantic City Broadcast's lineup.
The general public was excited that they could finally listen to Major League Baseball gas at ho.
However, Owen Young and Luke Jackson realized that Atlantic City Broadcast was beginning to lay out its national expansion!
They were already far behind Atlantic City Broadcast; if they were to undertake this task themselves, it would likely take at least half a year to establish new stations.
And even if they did establish those stations, how would they compete with Atlantic City Broadcast for listeners?
So, Owen Young and Luke Jackson began to pull out all the stops to find an opportunity to et Donnie!
One day, Donnie took Margaret to the Atlantic shore. Under a parasol, Donnie wore shorts and sunglasses while Margaret's swimsuit, although not as revealing as the swimsuits in the Miss Arica finals, was still shorter than the size dictated by United States law.
Sitting on a lounge chair, Donnie could see that the beach was filled solely with white people. According to Atlantic City's laws, at this hour, black people were not permitted on the Atlantic beaches and had to wait until dusk to enjoy the sands.
In the distance, Steve Cotting was chatting up a girl dressed in a Miss Arica swimsuit style.
"It seems your swimwear business is doing quite well!"
Donnie teased Margaret who was sitting beside him.
Donnie had purposely let Margaret open a swimwear store selling the types of swimsuits worn by Miss Arica, to give her sothing to do.
Margaret expressed her concern, "I'm still worried… Could this upset so people?"
Donnie said unconcernedly, "What's there to worry about, Eli Johnson even went with his girlfriend to buy one!"
Margaret shook her head, unsure of what to say.
Donnie did not continue the topic; he knew Margaret would have to co to terms with it on her own.
At that mont, Donnie saw Owen Young approaching.
"I said to myself my luck couldn't be that bad today. Indeed, just out for a stroll and I happen to run into you, Donnie. God bless!"
Owen Young pretended it was a chance encounter.
Donnie didn't expose Owen Young's act, smiling he said, "Mr. Young, I'm off duty today, so let's get one thing straight—no shop talk!"
Owen's expression froze. If they weren't going to talk business, why had he gone to the trouble of tracking Donnie down?
To have a casual chat?
"Donnie, we at General Electric are very sincere about negotiating a partnership, and our capabilities surpass those of Westinghouse. Collaborating with us, you'll not only gain more support but also Morgan's assistance with your other investnts, such as your plans to invest in Hollywood film companies!"
"Hollywood?" Donnie looked puzzled at Owen Young and laughed, "Since when am I planning to invest in a Hollywood film company?"
Seeing Donnie respond to Owen Young's questions, Margaret rose and kissed Donnie on the cheek, then went off to embrace the sea.
Owen sat down beside Donnie and said with a smile, "Donnie, let's be frank here. I know your recent actions are actually a way to punish Westinghouse and myself for our previous attitude, for which I am ready to apologize again.
But considering your situation, I dare say, only by cooperating with General Electric can you resolve it better."
Donnie replied noncommittally, "Since you, Mr. Young, have already disrupted my vacation, why don't you tell why it is that only by cooperating with General Electric can we better solve my current problems?"
