Chapter 294: 137, Taft Family's Concerns 2
After all, the increase in commercial radio stations has also increased the audience's options.
"A commercial radio station without listeners, the more they invest, the bigger the loss they will actually incur, and it might even lead to problems with Westinghouse Electric Corporation itself."
Unable to contain his admiration for Donnie, Robert Taft applauded and said, "Does this mean that there is not a single commercial radio station in the whole United States that can pose a real threat to you?"
"Although it may sound arrogant, that is indeed what I believe!" Donnie said confidently.
At that moment, Martha Bowles, the wife of Robert Taft, came into the living room, enthusiastically announcing that lunch was ready, and invited Donnie and Robert Taft to the dining room for a meal!
"Donnie, are you a Republican?"
Sitting at the dining table, Robert Taft dropped the topic of Atlantic City Broadcast and began to inquire about Donnie's party affiliation!
The Taft family is a staunch Republican family.
Donnie, holding his knife and fork, said, "In Atlantic City, it's rare to find someone who is not a Republican!"
Robert Taft raised his wine glass and said devoutly, "Glory to the Republican Party!"
Donnie also raised his glass, echoing, "Glory to the Republican Party!"
"Helen has already told me about her plans to work in Atlantic City, what position do you intend for her to hold at WRPA?"
At this point, Martha suddenly asked Donnie with a smile on her face.
Donnie replied, "WRPA is an independent charity organization. Of course, if Helen comes to Atlantic City, I would suggest to Miss South Brenton that we first appoint Helen as an office worker for WRPA's public relations, dealing specifically with various media outlets. I believe that would allow Helen to utilize her abilities to the fullest extent!"
Martha looked at Robert Taft with a relieved expression in her eyes.
Such a job, though demanding in terms of workload, would also lead to more exposure. They trusted in Helen's ability to manage relations with the media effortlessly.
As long as this relationship was well managed, it would be an excellent addition to her resume if Helen decided to pursue a career in politics in the future.
Furthermore, regarding the operation of WRPA, Robert Taft had already conducted some investigations through his own connections when Donnie and Helen came to Columbus. Experience tales with empire
Though it was just a superficial investigation, the politically astute Robert Taft guessed that there must be some unusual financial situations between WRPA and Donnie.
Placing Helen in the public relations position was also a defensible move to prevent any potential scandals.
"But I want to do something more concrete!"
Helen did not have the same political acumen as Robert Taft or Martha Bowles. There were two reasons for joining WRPA.
Firstly, Helen Taft, as a new era woman, genuinely wanted to fight for greater rights for American women.
Secondly, the political legacy of the Taft family reminded her that working in this organization could bring more benefits to her future work.
"Helen, as a student who has just graduated from university, I think you should first make your mark in the position your boss has arranged for you. Only by doing so can you prove to your boss that you are capable of handling more important tasks!" Robert Taft reminded Helen.
"All right then!" Helen said, pouting her lips in resignation.
Seeing Helen's reaction, Donnie and the others all smiled.
The subsequent conversation among the four was more about their respective anecdotes. As for the so-called alliance, neither Donnie nor Robert Taft explicitly mentioned it.
However, the fact that Donnie was dining with Robert Taft in the restaurant already cemented their alliance.
It wasn't until Donnie was leaving Robert Taft's house that Robert Taft finally said to him.
"Donnie, perhaps you should be ready to write a check. The United States is a country with extreme commercial freedom, and what you are doing is also solving some problems for this country, so I think you don't need to have any concerns!"
Donnie shook hands with Robert Taft, saying, "Actually, my check is already prepared, and I believe that the United States is not only a country with commercial freedom but also with freedom of speech!"
Robert Taft laughed heartily, saying, "I believe that working with you, Donnie, will be a very pleasant experience!"
"I think so too!"
Donnie and Robert Taft shook hands and said goodbye!
Helen did not choose to stay at her brother's house but, like Donnie, stayed in a hotel in Columbus!
Of course, she was in a different room from Donnie!
"What do you think of Donnie Block?"
Inside Robert Taft's house, Robert sat on a sofa, while Martha Bowles was seated on another, holding a lady's cigarette in her hand.
"Smart, knows his boundaries, is a very ambitious man!"
"Then, is he a good partner?"
"I think so, at least from all the information we have, Donnie is quite generous to his partners!"
"If that's the case, then I'm relieved!"
"No!" Martha Bowles took one last puff on her cigarette, extinguished the butt in the ashtray, and then said, "There is one thing you need to worry about!"
