Chapter 764: 262, the first person from New Jersey_2

With Aman Louis no longer interfering, naturally, there were no more obstacles for Donnie to build the Trident Shipyard in Cape May.

“Donnie, this time you’ve really surprised people!”

Upon meeting with Riel Edwards, the latter expressed his admiration for Donnie right away.

In the battle between Donnie and Aman Louis, Riel Edwards hadn’t done anything overt to support Donnie.

But that didn’t mean Riel Edwards did nothing at all; without his restraint, some policies targeting Atlantic City would have actually succeeded.

“Without your help, Riel, it wouldn’t have gone so smoothly!”

Donnie said humbly.

Riel Edwards didn’t take Donnie’s humility seriously, although he didn’t know what method Donnie used to make Aman Louis rather give up his own interests and support Donnie, Riel Edwards understood.

At this time, Donnie had truly reached the pinnacle of power in New Jersey.

He might be named the foremost person in New Jersey, but he would have to respectfully heed Donnie’s wishes from now on.

“Donnie, I have already discussed with Cape May, and they are prepared to approve this land for you to build the Trident Shipyard. Do you see any issue with it?”

Riel Edwards brought Donnie to a map of Cape May and pointed out the area to him.

After looking over it, Donnie was very satisfied and said to Riel Edwards with a smile, “Riel, it’s a pity that I now have to leave for Washington and then head to MIT. Otherwise, we should have gone to Cape May together!”

Riel Edwards laughed and said, “No problem at all, I will personally visit Cape May. You just need to arrange someone to go with me, Donnie!”

Donnie nodded and replied, “Well, I’ll have Robert go to Cape May with you, and he will be in charge of the specific matters during the construction of Trident Shipyard.”

Although it seemed there were no more problems with building Trident Shipyard in Cape May, in reality, that was only on a macro level; there were definitely many issues in detail.

Even though Robert didn’t know how to manage a shipyard, supervising the construction of one was not a problem for him.

Furthermore, concerning the management of Trident Shipyard, Donnie had already started recruiting. When the time came, those recruited would accompany Robert, and things should proceed smoothly in the early stages.

As for Atlantic City, after dealing with Aman Louis, there wouldn’t be any problems. When the time came, Fei Jackson could stay in Atlantic City!

“Ha ha!” Riel Edwards laughed loudly, “Robert is also an old friend of ours. Having him by my side would be best. Donnie, you can rest assured and take care of your own business. Leave matters here in New Jersey to us!”

Riel Edwards didn’t see anything wrong with saying so at this time.

He had completely adjusted his position. His power was born of New Jersey’s electorate, but whether it could be exercised depended in fact on Donnie.

Serving his own power, there was nothing wrong with that!

At Block Manor, Donnie gave his final instructions to Robert.

“Now on the grand scale, there shouldn’t be any problems, but we mustn’t be complacent. Additionally, it’s the details that matter now. Since Cape May also has its own power hierarchy, and no one is willing to give up their interests, I believe there may still be some issues arising in Cape May, and you must handle them well!”

Cape May wasn’t a place devoid of resources; it had its own enterprises, its own City Hall, and naturally its own power hierarchy.

Even though these people were no match for Donnie in sheer power, Donnie didn’t believe they would do nothing!

Robert nodded and said, “I understand. I’ve been in touch with Yerken Bird from the Cape May Police Department. When I get to Cape May, I shall discuss things with him. What can be gained, we shall seize, and what cannot be gained, we shall replace!”

The bootlegging business provided Donnie with a definite network of connections; as the head of the Cape May Police Department, Yerken Bird was one of the profit beneficiaries of the bootlegging industry chain.

Naturally, he was also one of Donnie’s allies of interest!

“Good, remember what I told you before, we need our own spokesman in Cape May!”

Robert said, “I will look for one!”

“Then I leave all these matters at home to you!” Donnie let out a sigh of relief.

Donnie had settled the affairs of New Jersey, which genuinely relieved him.

After all, from now on, Donnie could focus on developing interests outside of New Jersey.

.

Donnie had come to Washington this time with a very important matter to attend to.

First off, Donnie was here to seek a meeting with the Secretary of the Navy, Robert Coontz. Trident Shipyard was now beginning construction in Cape May, and although Donnie had decided to collaborate with the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) to develop new marine equipment,

the United States Navy possessed the most advanced technology in warships. If Donnie could obtain the Navy’s technical support, it would be incredibly advantageous for Trident Shipyard.

Moreover, Donnie could also use this opportunity to establish real ties with the Navy, and in the future, he could do business with the United States Navy through this connection!
