Chapter 1071: 366, Public Enemy_2
Originally, with such signs of development, perhaps Helen would become one of the most successful female politicians in American history in the future.
But now, their resistance to radium-containing products has completely shattered William Howard Taft’s earlier illusions!
“You should know, once the outcome of this matter is different from what you expect, then Helen’s whole life would only be a council member at Atlantic City’s City Hall!”
Donnie replied calmly: “Firstly, I receive daily reports from the research lab on this matter. Although they have yet to produce exact research data, all developments are consistent with what I expected.
Secondly, even if something unexpected occurs in this matter, I also have the capability to help Helen reach her desired position!”
William Howard Taft was taken aback for a moment and asked, “Are you saying the truth, the research lab is truly going smoothly with everything?”
Donnie nodded and said, “That’s natural!”
“Alright then!” William Howard Taft was ultimately not persuaded by Donnie, but realized he had no way to convince Donnie!
After hanging up the call with William Howard Taft, Donnie picked up Helen’s phone again: “You heard the conversation just now!”
“I heard it!” Helen said earnestly: “I trust you!”
Donnie smiled and said: “Rest assured, everything is developing in our favor!”
The two hung up the phone, but those merchants of radium-containing products were still attacking Helen over this matter. However, at this time, they were not merely targeting Helen anymore, but had begun to direct their fire at Donnie.
“It’s impossible for a city hall council member to have such great power to deliver so many speeches. Considering the surname Helen Brock, we know behind the scenes, it must be Donnie Block supporting Helen Brock!
An American super-rich, enjoying the world’s most top-tier medical conditions, yet unwilling to let ordinary American citizens enjoy their health.
Faced with such a situation, we call upon citizens nationwide to boycott all products of the New Jersey Consortium, only then can we let those high above see the power of us ordinary citizens!”
Such articles appeared in major newspapers across the United States.
When all Americans saw such content, it had a real impact on the Venus Consortium.
Protesters began to appear in front of Apollo Chain’s stores, and at the same time, some people wanted to engage in ‘zero-dollar purchases’!
In such a situation, Donnie’s request for the Apollo Chain played an important role, that was, Donnie initially requested Apollo Chain stores to recruit more veteran soldiers. When someone wanted to engage in ‘zero-dollar purchases’, the Apollo Chain store employees reverted to their American soldier identities, holding guns at the store entrance, deterring a large number of people attempting ‘zero-dollar purchases’.
However, when these people actually rushed in, the employees directly let them in.
Because before this, Donnie had already instructed Dustbog to buy insurance for the Apollo Chain stores, and the insurance company was not an insurance company under Venus Bank.
So, if these things were actually taken, Donnie would not suffer any losses, because the insurance company would compensate.
This is practically why, in later years, the United States frequently saw ‘zero-dollar purchase’ situations without caring at all.
Secondly, the number of tourists visiting Atlantic City also plummeted, which led many shareholders of Atlantic City’s City Hall and Surf Hotel calling Donnie expressing their dissatisfaction.
In response, Donnie firmly refused their request for Helen to stop her speeches about the hazards of radium-containing products.
Finally, it was the listed companies under the Venus Consortium which already had their share prices drop earlier due to unknown circumstances caused by Donnie, and now it was even worse!
Similarly, the shareholders of these companies finally couldn’t bear it and called Donnie.
Donnie’s attitude towards them remained unchanged!
At this moment, the Venus Consortium seemed to be standing against the entire America!
“Block!” Even Coolidge personally called Donnie: “I trust you, but now you should consider this matter, at worst, we can wait for the research results before making this public. We can still achieve the benefits we want by then; there’s really no need to stand against everyone at this time!”
Although Coolidge didn’t say it outright, in reality, he also didn’t completely believe Donnie’s analysis!
Still the same phrase, there has not yet been a single written research report on this matter.
“Mr. President, I’m very grateful for your reminder, but it’s impossible for me to give up on this halfway. Since I’ve started this, I must see it through to the end, please rest assured, once the research lab’s report is out, I’ll have it delivered to you immediately!”
Donnie was subtly reminding Coolidge that until there was concrete evidence, Coolidge wouldn’t be implicated in this matter!
Coolidge understood what Donnie meant and sighed: “Alright then, but Donnie, you should still push the research lab a bit, as for the White House and Congress, I will hold the line for you for a while!”
