America 1919

Café Jackson left.

Donnie was still thinking about the Florida land. He believed Paul Warburg would certainly not give up the Florida real estate.

If they could buy the Florida land from Venus Bank, the New Woburg Company would undoubtedly become the top real estate company in Florida.

By then, Paul Warburg would definitely use these lands to manipulate the land prices in Florida. Such an opportunity, if it were his, he would absolutely not let it go.

"What exactly is Paul Warburg waiting for?"

What puzzled Donnie the most was that, in this matter, he couldn't actively contact Paul Warburg; otherwise, it would definitely arouse suspicion from the other side.

Not understanding what Paul Warburg was waiting for, Donnie could only proceed with the plan through Café Jackson, hoping to stir a sense of crisis in Paul Warburg.

Temporarily putting the matter aside, Donnie returned to his children.

These were his bloodline legacies, and Donnie hoped they would all become successful in the future, though he knew such aspirations were impossible to achieve.

Yet he hoped to develop in that direction; if they truly couldn't succeed in adulthood, they'd become playboys for life!

While Donnie was vacationing in New York, John, who rarely left Atlantic City, brought his wife Evelyn Melo and son John Bloch II to New York, staying at Donnie's estate.

John Bloch II was only a few months younger than Michael, with a lovable chubby face.

"Have you thought about what I told you?"

John looked at Donnie, who was teasing his son, and couldn't help asking.

Donnie looked puzzled at John and asked, "What thing?"

John hesitated and said, "The letter I sent you through Ozzy?"

Donnie recalled there indeed was such a thing, but at that time, he was discussing selling Florida land for the first time with Café Jackson, so he set it aside and forgot about John's letter!

Seeing Donnie's expression, John immediately guessed Donnie had forgotten about it.

"Is my matter so unimportant to you?" John said, clearly unhappy.

Donnie glanced at John and said, "Stop talking nonsense. I won't feel any guilt!"

John immediately laughed honestly and said, "I knew you would say that!"

Donnie casually asked, "Who taught you to say that?"

John was now the sheriff of Atlantic City. Eli, in April this year, suddenly resigned from his sheriff's duties in Atlantic City and left for Los Angeles.

"Evelyn taught me!" John directly sold out his wife!

Donnie put down little John, patted his butt, and said, "Go play!"

Little John left shakily with his toy gun under the maid's watch!

"What is it you want to tell me that you had to write a letter!" Donnie did not comment on Evelyn Melo's behavior.

John immediately got spirited, somewhat proudly asked Donnie, "Do you know radium?"

"The element radium discovered by Madame Curie?" Donnie asked.

"Who is Madame Curie?" John asked in return.

Donnie: "..."

"I know radium, just tell me what you want."

"Knowing radium is enough. Let me tell you, I've discovered a huge business opportunity!" John said proudly to Donnie.

Donnie frowned, recalling a piece of American history, now only hoping that John wouldn't be reckless despite being strong!

"What do you mean, explain in detail!" Donnie emphasized his tone.

John did not notice Donnie's change in expression and continued speaking smugly, "Radium is a good thing, very beneficial to the human body. Listen to me carefully..."

As John described, Donnie's frown deepened.

Ever since Madame Curie discovered radium, the element's name became widely known. Later, when the medical field discovered its ability to destroy cancer cells, its medicinal value became even more well-known.

Some quack doctors saw business opportunities and started marketing radioactive elements, concocting various health products to profit, beginning an absurd history of nuclear radiation wellness.

The first to apply radium to the commercial market was a product called radioactive water jugs. These jugs were ordinary except for a faucet, with the unique feature that the whole jug was made from uranium ore containing radium, acting as a mobile radiation source.

Just pour ordinary water inside, and after some time, it would turn into radioactive water. The radium concentration in water contained within these jugs could reach five times the scientifically recommended level.

According to scientific analysis at the time, gas radon produced when radium decomposes could promote wound healing and accelerate new tissue growth. This gas worked best for treatment in water.

The early radioactive water jugs were inconveniently large, but people loved health, so after their big sales, manufacturers immediately released more portable radioactive water jugs.

Now, everyone could be healthy!
