"Dear Downey, did you receive the newspaper I sent you?"

Downey was holding the phone, with the "Washington Post", "Los Angeles Times", "New York Times" and other most important newspapers in the United States in front of him. In the entertainment sections of these newspapers, there was all news about the Miss America election.

"Dear Nucky, your efficiency is so high that I have begun to worry about whether our pageant committee staff will be able to arrive in these cities on time!"

It is not difficult to organize a beauty pageant committee in Atlantic City. For Downey, the most difficult thing is actually how to set up election points in other cities across the United States.

This is why Downey must cooperate with Nucky, because only Nucky has the ability to establish relationships with other cities in Atlantic City in a short period of time.

Before Nucky left Atlantic City, Downey had already agreed with Nucky that it would be impossible for the first Miss America contest to spread to the entire United States.

So in the end they just identified some important cities to do this.

This includes eleven cities, including New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chicago, Houston, San Francisco, Boston, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, Washington, and one Atlantic City.

Except for Atlantic City, separate election points will be set up in the remaining ten cities, and then the top three will be elected.

The top three in the city will arrive in Atlantic City in July this year to begin the final competition, and the top three in the country will be selected. The first place will naturally be Miss America!

In order to better attract contestants to participate, Downey and Nucky also formulated corresponding rewards.

The top three in the city will receive bonus awards, and the committee will bear all expenses for traveling to Atlantic City. In addition, they will also receive the title of Honorary Citizen of Atlantic City.

As for the top three in the country, the rewards will be even more generous. The most important point is that those who are elected as Miss America will be arranged to go on a nationwide speaking tour.

Simply put, Downey just wants to make a star!

Making stars in America in 1920!

Of course, there are a lot of details involved, all of which need to be determined one by one by Downey and the election committee.

"Haha, you can rest assured on this. I have already said hello to my friends. They are also very interested in this matter and will cooperate well with our work!"

Are you interested in those girls?

Downey couldn't help but cursed, if there were no accidents, this Miss America election would definitely become a proper shady competition.

But Downey doesn't care about this. What he is looking for is how to expand his business scale through this event.

Downey discussed the details with Nucky again.

The most critical point is funding.

If you want to turn this beauty pageant into a nationally watched event, preliminary publicity work is definitely indispensable.

According to Downey's previous agreement with Nucky, the investment in this event is as high as 100,000 US dollars.

The actual spender of this investment is actually Downey and the Atlantic City City Hall.

That's right, this beauty pageant was launched in the name of Atlantic City, and Downey is the organizer.

For this reason, Downey specially registered a company called ‘Stars Entertainment’ in Atlantic City!

"Of course I know your influence Nucky. This time Atlantic City will definitely reach a higher level because of your decision!"

Donnie smiled.

"Haha!" Nucky laughed. It was obvious that he was in a very good mood, and the reason for this was not just because the Miss America election had started smoothly, but more importantly, he had already established a relationship with

Harding's campaign manager got in touch.

And the other party already knew the truth of the scandal that Downey said about Harding.

In order to ensure that Harding can be successfully elected, Nucky has promised to bring Harding's mistress and his illegitimate son to Atlantic City to avoid any surprises during Harding's election.

It is precisely because of Nucky's performance... Of course, the most important point is that Harding needs the votes of New Jersey!

So when Nucky met Harding's campaign manager, the first thing he said was: "As far as I know, with your support, Mr. Nucky, you will get the votes of New Jersey!"

Harding also told Nucky through his campaign manager that as long as he is elected, he will approve the construction of the highway from Atlantic City to Philadelphia!

"This is our common victory!" After Nucky finished speaking, he said with some regret: "Unfortunately, it will take a long time to recover this investment!"

Nucky is a genius politician. The entire Atlantic City political world, including New Jersey politics, is under his control, but this does not mean that Nucky is a genius businessman.

Until now, he has always thought that although this beauty pageant is huge and can bring more exposure to Atlantic City, this is the only thing this beauty pageant can do.

As for the business opportunities contained in it, he did not see it.

Downey smiled easily. If Nucky knew that Ponzi was willing to invest 500,000 in advertising fees for this beauty pageant, he would definitely fly with excitement!

But Donnie will definitely not tell Nucky about this.

After all, this fee was signed by Downey in his own name with Ponzi.

But that doesn't mean Downey won't follow normal procedures and use this beauty pageant to create more benefits for himself.

"Dear Nucky, why do you think so? Don't you know that there are already a lot of money waving to us, waiting for us to take them over?"

Nucky was slightly stunned on the phone. After these few days of travel, Nucky had already recognized Downey's ability. Now that he heard Downey say this, he was naturally more concerned.

"Do you have any ideas?"

Downey said: "As long as we continue to publish advertisements about Miss America in newspapers in major cities across the country, more and more people will pay attention to this matter.

At that time, we can definitely find suitable partners with naming rights, advertising fees, and some invisible income.

For example, in addition to ordinary people, there will definitely be a group of wealthy people paying attention to this event. You know the reason. In this case, can we contact some car dealers and let them

How about sponsoring our competition?

Of course, this is just one example."

Downey, who was holding the phone, heard Nucky's rapid breathing on the phone. Downey believed that Nucky was definitely not doing any exercise at this time, but was surprised by his proposal.

Again, there are advertisements in this era, but many people cannot see the diversity, functionality, and achievements of advertisements.

Take this beauty pageant as an example. Nucky just noticed the influence this beauty pageant has brought to Atlantic City. This is actually an advertising effect.

But his vision was limited by the limitations of the times, and he did not see the personal benefits that this beauty pageant brought to them!

Now Downey's words are like opening a new door for Nucky!

"I understand, I will contact you immediately about this matter!"

Downey smiled and said: "Then I'll bother you, Mr. Nucky!"

.

Every reform cannot be peaceful, and the same is true for the reform in the Western District!

Although Downey has already said that the big fish will eat the small fish to minimize the impact of this reform in the Western District.

But there were still many surprises.

Downey told Eli before that he only needs to support two powerful gangs, and the remaining gangs in the West District must either be eliminated or integrated.

Of these two gangs, Eli chose a gang called Tanding in the West End. The leader of this gang was named Tanding, and the other gang was, of course, John.

Tandin chose an attitude of non-violence and non-cooperation, and in just two days, he had injured three or four gang bosses.

Such behavior naturally caused dissatisfaction among many people.

So today, when Tandin just walked out of an Italian restaurant, he was suddenly shot by someone coming towards him!

If his men hadn't been brave enough to immediately draw their guns and fight back, I'm afraid today would be Tandin's death anniversary next year!

Eli was very angry about this incident, and immediately wanted to go to Donnie to discuss countermeasures.

But at this time, he was stopped by Sean Bay.

"Director, isn't it the right time for us to enter? Using the incident of Tan Ding being shot, we can immediately mobilize the manpower of the public security department, enter the West District, and directly conduct a sweep of the West District to deal with those stubborn people.

Catching them all will show your influence, right?"

Sean Bey's words made Eli nodded slightly and said, "That's right, we can't go to Donnie for everything, otherwise the other party will definitely despise us!"

Afterwards, Eli patted Sean Bey on the shoulder and praised: "You have a good mind, second only to me. Why haven't I discovered your kid's ability in this area before?"

Sean Beibei said with a flattering smile: "This is all due to your good teaching!"

Eli laughed and said: "Gather the boys from the public security department immediately. We are going to rectify the West District!"

"Yes!"

.

"Eli's side should be entering the West District soon. You should immediately contact the casinos controlled by those disobedient gangs and tell them that they must either surrender or wait to be raided!"

At this time, John was sitting in Isiah's tavern, preaching to Gary Thomas.

Now Gary Thomas has become John's number one confidant!
Chapter completed!
