Downey and Nucky are very efficient at work.

The next day, an introduction to the beauty pageant appeared first in the local newspaper in Atlantic City.

As soon as this news came out, it immediately aroused extensive discussion in Atlantic City.

The girls in Atlantic City have begun to prepare for this matter.

"Are you going to co-organize a Miss America pageant with Nucky?"

While Downey was having breakfast, Margaret looked at the "Atlantic Forum" in her hand with a surprised expression on her face, and the milk she originally planned to drink was put on the table!

Downey cut open a piece of sandwich and nodded: "Yes, such an event can bring Atlantic City more attention from other cities in the United States!"

Margaret nodded slightly and asked Downey a little cautiously: "It says that girls aged 18 to 24 can participate?"

Downey looked at Margaret and said with a smile: "If you want to participate, I can relax the conditions for selection appropriately!"

"No, no, no!" Margaret shook her head quickly. There was no way Margaret could do this kind of thing of showing off her figure in public and wearing a swimsuit.

As mentioned before, Atlantic City held a beauty pageant last year, but it was an internal matter within Atlantic City and did not involve cities outside Atlantic City.

In last year's beauty pageant, there was a swimsuit display.

"I'm just worried that if this involves a national beauty pageant, will it cause dissatisfaction among some organizations?"

Margaret expressed her worries.

The United States is not that open now. On the Atlantic City beach, even if a girl wears a one-piece swimsuit without a skirt to cover it, she will be protested by some moralists.

It is completely different from the situation in later generations where you need to break open the two pieces of flesh to see the swimsuit.

When the beauty pageant was held in Atlantic City last year, a group of people protested and marched!

Downey pondered for a moment and said: "This is indeed a problem, but it is not without a solution!"

"Oh!" Margaret didn't say anything when she heard that Downey had a solution.

After breakfast, Downey came to Isiah's Tavern, which was no longer open to the public and became John's base in the West District.

When Downey came here, John hadn't gotten up yet.

"Do you want me to call him?" Magage asked Downey.

In order to allow John to better control the West End, Downey sent Magage to John's side.

"What do you think?"

Donnie glared at Magage.

Magage smiled and went to call John who was still sleeping.

After a while, John walked out with messy hair and yawning.

"Why are you here so early?"

Donnie sat there and said, "If it's a little later, I can have lunch with you!"

"That's a normal time!" John took a bottle of beer from the bar, took a sip, and regarded it as breakfast.

"How's the situation with Junket Operators here in the Western District?"

This is the reason why Downey came to find John. Junk Operator is an important means for Downey to control the West District, so he must pay attention to it at all times.

"We have already made an agreement with several other casinos that our people can enter each other's casinos, but they are also some small casinos in the West District. The big ones are doing it themselves. There is no good way yet!"

There are more than 300 casinos in Atlantic City that are involved in the gaming industry. It is almost impossible to integrate all these casinos in a short period of time!

Downey has no extravagant expectations, as long as John can integrate the entire West End casinos!

"There is no need to worry about casinos outside the Western District. As long as you can complete the integration of Western District casinos before the end of the year."

That’s what Downey thought and said.

Just when John was about to answer Donnie's words, a woman in pajamas with a hot figure and two headlights vaguely visible also walked out in a daze.

When John saw the other party's appearance, he didn't care at all. He took out 1 dollar from his pocket and handed it to the other party. The other party walked out of the tavern without caring and returned to the boarding house next door.

In Atlantic City, it is almost the norm to have a boarding house next door to a tavern.

"Don't worry about this. There are some disobedient people, and I have a way to deal with them!"

Downey warned: "These casinos have paid money to Nucky. Strictly speaking, they will be protected by Nucky. Now that our relationship with Nucky has just eased, we can't talk to him because of this matter."

What kind of conflict has Nucky created!"

John nodded and said: "Since you already have a way, then I will just execute it according to your plan!"

Donnie smiled and said: "Don't worry, this matter won't last long!"

After the words fell, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and Eli Johnson walked in wearing a brown uniform.

"Donny, is this your base camp in the West District?"

Eli unceremoniously sat next to Donnie and asked Magage to get him a bottle of beer.

"Donny, you are too stingy. You should have invited me out to the Fuli Tavern. What is there? No, there is no place in the entire West End that interests me."

Eli complained about the situation in the West End. As the second poorest area in Atlantic City, coupled with the mixed population, it really cannot provide more benefits to Eli.

"Dear Eli, what would you think if I told you that this place was going to be a huge treasure?"

Donnie asked Eli.

Eli said exaggeratedly: "Then I will definitely think you are crazy!"

Donnie laughed and said: "If you don't mind, change your clothes and go out with me for a walk. I will let you see the huge wealth contained here!"

Only then did Eli look at Downey seriously. It is no exaggeration to say that with the departure of David Jabbar, the relationship between Eli Johnson and Downey has changed from enemies at the beginning to the closest partners now.

.

This also confirms the saying that there are no eternal enemies in the world, only eternal interests!

As his closest partner now, it is impossible for Eli to despise what Downey said, especially this morning when he learned that his brother had reached a cooperation with Downey, which surprised Eli even more.<

/p>

Before that, Eli originally planned to use the relationship between Downey and Nucky to mediate between them, and then regain his importance!

"It's okay to change clothes, but you have to tell me what's going on, right?"

Eli asked curiously.

Donnie smiled and said, "You'll know when you come out with me!"

Seeing that Downey didn't want to talk, Eli had no other choice but to take off his uniform on the spot and follow Downey out of the pub.

Donnie and Eli are both well-known figures in Atlantic City, but this does not mean that everyone knows them. After all, this is not the Internet age.

So when the two of them were walking on the street, no one paid attention to them.

Residents in the West District also treated the two as ordinary tourists.

Walking on the street, Downey smiled and said to the curious Eli Johnson: "You can look at how many pubs, boarding houses, and casinos there are on this street. How many casinos are there in these places?

What's business like!"

Although Eli was curious, he still followed Donnie's instructions and began to check the situation on this street.

"On Pennsylvania Avenue, there are more than 20 boarding houses, more than a dozen pubs and casinos. Do they have so many guests?"

When they walked down Pennsylvania Avenue, the main road in the West End, Eli couldn't help but exclaimed.

Downey smiled lightly and said: "The matter is not over yet. What you see is only one street and the entire West District. As for their business, how is it?

Look, isn’t this on display?”

At this time, they saw two taverns at the corner, and a conflict suddenly broke out. Four or five people from each side started beating each other under the watchful eyes of the onlookers on the street.

This battle came suddenly, but also disappeared suddenly.

With people on both sides falling and bleeding, the battle ended.

Donnie asked Eli: "How was it?"

"How about what?" Eli said, not caring about such a scene: "Isn't it a normal thing for this kind of thing to happen in Atlantic City and the West End?"

Donnie laughed and said: "That's the problem. When you think he is normal, he is actually abnormal!"

Eli shook his head, not understanding what Donnie meant, "Donnie, you'd better tell me your thoughts directly. This kind of guessing is really troublesome!"

Downey was mentally prepared for Eli's stupidity, but his hints were already so obvious, and the other party hadn't figured it out yet, which was really speechless!

"Eli, haven't you always wanted to prove that you can still achieve something even without Nucky's help? Don't you want the whole Atlantic City to say this when they mention you?

Eli Johnson, instead of saying he's Nucky's brother?

If you want to get it all, then the West End is the bargaining chip you can use to make it happen!"

"Is this a shabby place?"

Eli looked around and said, "How can this place compare with the boardwalk?"

Donnie said speechlessly: "The boardwalk is naturally a good place, but do you think Nucky will let you follow your own mood?"

Eli didn't speak this time.

Downey said to him: "Let's go, let's go for a walk and try to explain this matter to you today. After all, I will be busy with beauty pageants starting tomorrow!"
