The expansion of Atlantic City_3 Chapter 649: 226.
The expansion of Atlantic City_3 The most luxurious shopping center in Arica ought to exist, right?
The best entertainnt center in Arica ought to exist, right?
Although the concept of shopping centers doesn’t exist globally yet, that doesn’t an Donnie can’t create one.
As long as it’s there, naturally, there will be consurs.
No matter the situation, the perfect image of Atlantic City in Donnie’s mind should be such that every tourist who cos to Atlantic City, after emptying their wallets, not only doesn’t feel that Atlantic City is a trap but instead plans to bring even more cash on their next visit.
...
It should be a bewitching city where everyone yearns to return!
Donnie could even take advantage of Atlantic City’s unique attributes to develop an even more extensive grey industry here!
All consumables that can ignite human desires should be visible in this city!
When Donnie shared these thoughts with Nucky, Nucky was already becoming restless with excitent, saying, “If that’s the case, then Atlantic City won’t just be the entertainnt capital of the United States, it will be the entertainnt capital of the world!”
Donnie also smiled and said, “Then the first issue we’re facing right now is how to resolve the land expansion in Atlantic City!”
Nucky understood that if this really succeeded, even if he did nothing else in the future, his wealth would increase exponentially.
“I’ll take care of the State Governnt issue.
You know I have many friends there!”
Donnie then smiled and said, “Then I’ll take care of Washington.
I believe they won’t be too opposed to this matter.”
Actually, at this point, one could see that neither Donnie nor Nucky had given any thought to the people of the North District, even though at this mont Donnie and his associates were eyeing their hos.
“We should add another industry!”
After hearing Donnie’s plan, Helen earnestly added to Donnie.
“Which industry?” Donnie asked directly.
Helen said, “Finance.
If we can use Atlantic City’s geographical location to turn it into the second financial capital, securing more financial policies, it will definitely beco a city where countless banks clamor to enter!”
From Helen’s suggestion, Donnie thought of the later Hong Kong!
Hong Kong’s developnt owed much to the financial industry.
Relying on its unique location and policies, Hong Kong beca a financial buffer zone for the East and West.
In fact, if it lost this policy, just the location of Hong Kong alone would decline even faster.
By the ti Donnie arrived in that era, Hong Kong essentially only had two industries left: finance and real estate.
Although it seed that the real estate industry in Hong Kong was more profitable, in reality, it all depended on the support of the financial market.
If Hong Kong lost its special financial status, its fall would be as swift and violent as a tempest.
When Donnie was planning the Surf Hotel, he already had such intentions, but at that ti, it wasn’t feasible.
The only way to support Atlantic City to beco a financial capital after becoming the entertainnt capital was to acquire special financial policy support.
But if it were done that way, Atlantic City’s developnt would inevitably impact New York’s financial market to a certain extent, and if so, the pressure Donnie would face would be unprecedented.
Under the current circumstances, Donnie’s strength was not yet sufficient to withstand such pressure.
“Let’s wait a bit longer.
This matter should not be rushed but should progress step by step.
Once Atlantic City develops, there will definitely be more banks coming in.
Then we will plan slowly!”
After thinking it over, Helen didn’t say anything more!
Subsequently, Donnie and Nucky didn’t head to Washington or Trenton straight away.
The two first went to Atlantic City Hall, where the presence of both of them at the sa ti made the Mayor feel apprehensive.
In truth, by this ti, the Mayor of Atlantic City had beco a puppet; he no longer had any say in matters.
All he had was to sign his na on the docunts whenever Donnie and Nucky thought Atlantic City should do sothing.
Now that Donnie and Nucky were both looking for him, the Mayor already knew that this matter must be done, and also understood that if it was accomplished, it would be beneficial for him too.
Even though he was going to step down in two more years!
After settling matters with Atlantic City Hall, Nucky headed to Trenton first.
While Donnie first went to Elwood Village.
If you want to expand Atlantic City, the location of Elwood Village becos a bit awkward.
Belonging to Atlantic City, it can be said that its position is directly north of the new North District.
“What?”
Old Carl’s voice rose an octave higher when he heard Donnie’s plans, shouting, “You want those black folks to settle down in our Elwood Village?”
As he spoke, Old Carl had already taken down the shotgun hanging on his wall, loudly declaring, “If any of them dares co here, I’ll blow them away!”
Donnie looked at Old Carl with a wry smile and explained, “It’s not about making you move out or letting those people move in, but rather we’ll build a new North District around Elwood Village…”
