Chapter 1052: 359, Rumors Abound_3
Donnie naturally reassured on the phone that there were no issues, but he did not mention the problem with radium products.
This matter is fine to tell your own people, but telling outsiders, that's a problem!
Not only did Jack Morgan call, but Andrew Mellon, Old Rockefeller, Coolidge, and others also called.
After dealing with these people, Donnie called Café Jackson. Like with the others, he first told Café Jackson that there were no issues on his side. Secondly, he asked Café Jackson to keep an eye on the various companies under the New Jersey Consortium. Donnie wanted to see if those he had sent out to become local magnates would show any unusual behavior at this time.
At the same time, Donnie told Café Jackson to buy shares of companies while the stock prices of all listed companies were declining.
He believed that when he reappeared in front of the world, the stock prices of these companies would rise, which would be another income for him!
After hanging up with Café Jackson, Donnie called Tyrone Capello.
He asked him to keep a constant watch on the situation in Atlantic City, including secretly observing Café Jackson.
Although Tyrone Capello and Joachim Lang were somewhat dim-witted, Donnie still acknowledged their loyalty. As for whether this would be discovered by Café Jackson, Donnie wasn't worried. He had Tyrone Capello collect information brought in by various parties rather than get involved directly.
At this point, Donnie's control over Atlantic City and Venus Bank was airtight. No one but Donnie knew how many of his confidents were hidden at Venus Bank's headquarters!
After handling these matters, Helen and Kritch arrived in New York from Atlantic City and came to Block Manor.
Both had experiences similar to Robert's. The only difference must be the two different rooms!
Helen quickly came to Donnie's study, uncharacteristically showing a panicked expression: "What major event has happened?"
Kritch was waiting outside at this time!
Donnie first told Helen about the dangers of radium products, then asked her, "Are there radium products in Atlantic City now?"
In fact, Donnie already had an answer to this question but still held a sliver of hope.
"Yes!" Helen answered without hesitation.
Of course.
Donnie sighed. After years of his efforts, Atlantic City had long become one of the wealthiest cities in the United States. Plus, with the city's characteristics, it naturally made people here prefer to indulge!
This provided a sufficient market for radium products.
"Now, immediately contact Sean Be and have him organize all the security officers in Atlantic City. Meanwhile, I'll let..."
"Kritch, come in!"
Donnie called Kritch in.
Once Kritch entered, Donnie said to him, "Call back to Atlantic City and have the company's people cooperate with Sean Be to immediately drive out all radium products from Atlantic City. Also, notify all city residents and visitors that anyone who privately retains radium products will be expelled from Atlantic City and become a permanently unwelcome person in the city!"
Helen and Kritch were both extremely shocked by Donnie's decision.
Even though they had already heard Donnie's analysis of radium products from Randolph Roman.
They believed in Donnie, but they also knew that executing this order would have significant impacts on Atlantic City!
"Boss, doing this will surely provoke resistance throughout the city, and those tourists will also have complaints about Atlantic City, affecting its business!"
Kritch voiced his concerns.
Donnie suddenly raised his head, looking at Kritch with eyes like knives: "Are you questioning my orders?"
Kritch was startled by Donnie's gaze and immediately said, "No, I will definitely follow your instructions!"
Donnie continued, "Also, within United States Logistics, find another group of skilled and loyal people to replace everyone in the current guard!"
Kritch once again felt Donnie's determination regarding this matter. It was known that Donnie's guard was his most crucial protection team and whom he trusted the most, and now Donnie wanted to replace the whole guard!
But it was precisely this sense of Donnie's resolve that prevented Kritch from having any further doubts!
"Understood!"
Only then did Donnie say, "You can manage these affairs remotely. I've arranged a room for you in the manor. Stay here for the time being for safety's sake!"
Kritch, feeling touched, said, "Thank you, Boss, but selecting your guards is the most important task. Plus, driving out radium products would be easier if I were in Atlantic City!"
Donnie did not try to keep him, just reminded Kritch, "Be mindful of your safety!"
"Yes!"
Donnie said to Helen, "Don't get involved in driving out radium products; have Sean Be handle it entirely. But you can now make some statements on the radiation hazards of radium. Call the 'Atlantic City Post' to relay your statement. Initially, it will definitely harm your reputation, but once Robert has the report on radium radiation hazards, it will greatly benefit your reputation!"
This was the second benefit Donnie thought of utilizing this issue for himself!
Since Helen wanted to enter politics, she should have more dazzling achievements. This speech, which would save the lives of the American populace, was a gift Donnie prepared for Helen!
