Chapter 1072: 366, Public Enemy_3

The merchants of radium products vary in size, with the smaller ones naturally lacking influence, but the larger ones can indeed influence the White House and Congress.

So at this time, both the White House and the Congress are launching attacks against Donnie!

“Thank you, Mr. President!” Donnie expressed his gratitude.

After the two hung up the phone, the matter continued.

Following Donnie’s arrangements, Helen’s speech was elevated to a presidential standard, thus isolating her from the public, but Helen’s voice could still be heard by everyone through loudspeakers.

However, at this moment, few people were seriously listening to Helen’s speech. More people were protesting, holding various signs and shouting slogans they had prepared, protesting Helen.

At this moment, Helen was like a lone leaf amidst a raging storm.

The reporters from the “Atlantic City Post” stayed by Helen’s side, faithfully recording everything happening now with their cameras; all of these were to be reported in the future!

When those merchants of radium products saw that they could not stop Helen’s speech even under these circumstances, they initiated the second phase of their plan!

That was forming an alliance and deciding to file a lawsuit against Helen and Donnie.

As soon as this news broke, it immediately garnered widespread support from the American populace. Everyone, rich or poor, hoped for their health and longevity. Now, under the publicity of these radium product merchants, Donnie and Helen had become the main culprits hindering their health and longevity.

However, what these people didn’t know was that privately, members of the radium product alliance were already on the phone with Donnie at the entrance of Block Manor in New York!

They also wanted to meet Donnie in person, but Donnie refused their face-to-face meeting!

Reluctantly, they could only contact Donnie by phone!

“Mr. Block, we have no intention of being your enemy. If you can stop Mrs. Block’s speech, we can guarantee that all voices against you and your wife will cease!”

The representative of the radium products alliance, Gico Bratt, sincerely expressed to Donnie on the phone.

“We are just doing some small business, and we have no interest competition with the New Jersey Consortium, Mr. Block, you really don’t need to target us!”

Holding the phone, Donnie coldly said, “Are you threatening me now?”

Gico Bratt denied it: “Of course not, we just hope that Mr. Block, you can refrain from being our adversary!”

Donnie chuckled and said, “So if I don’t agree to your terms, you’re going to continue being my adversary, is that it?”

Gico Bratt’s heart sank. If given a choice, he truly didn’t want to be Donnie Block’s enemy, but now, Donnie’s actions were unacceptable to them.

No matter how powerful Donnie was, if he was stopping them from making money, they had to challenge Donnie!

“Although I don’t want to admit it, but if someone makes it impossible for your New Jersey Consortium to operate, I think you wouldn’t accept it either!”

Donnie said, “Very well, I also want to see how you’re going to make my company unable to operate!”

Clearly, this negotiation over the phone between them was unsuccessful.

So the next day, the lawsuit from the radium product alliance reached the hands of the United States Supreme Court.

William Howard Taft once again called Donnie.

“I hope you are right about this matter, otherwise you’ll be facing enormous compensation!”

William Howard Taft clearly stated that the impact of this event was too big, and even though he was the Chief Justice of the Federal Court, he couldn’t suppress this matter!

“I believe my judgment is correct, but Dad, I still hope you can give me a little more time!”

What Donnie needed most now was time. Although everything was going well at the laboratory, there were still a few days away from success.

“That’s no problem!” William Howard Taft agreed to Donnie’s request.

After hanging up William Howard Taft’s phone, Donnie called Robert again, but it wasn’t to urge the progress from the laboratory, but to push the development of the radiation detector.

To ensure the radiation detector generates the greatest profit, it must be launched when the matter reaches its peak in public opinion.

It’s believed that the launch of the radiation detector would not only compensate for the losses that Venus Bank has suffered during this time but also create more wealth for the Venus Consortium.

“I’ve already arranged for various production equipment!” Robert responded to Donnie.

The radiation detector is not some groundbreaking technology; it’s not difficult to develop. The real challenge is creating a production line that can handle the demand of the entire U.S. market; that is the most difficult part!

Donnie hung up the phone with satisfaction, then called Fei Jackson. Originally, Fei Jackson wanted to report to Donnie the progress of the negotiations with Paul Warburg and Junior Rockefeller, but Donnie indicated not to forget about acquiring the stocks of the listed companies under the Venus Consortium!

Currently, the stock prices of these listed companies are continuously falling due to the attacks from the radium product merchants’ alliance. For Donnie, this is definitely a good thing; once the laboratory’s report comes out, everything will be reversed.

By then, the stock prices of these listed companies will skyrocket, and when Venus Bank sells the stocks purchased during this time, it will be another surge of wealth.

“Jesse Livermore has been following up on this matter, and I will inquire about the progress later and report to you, boss!”

“Very well, now you can tell me about those two matters!”
