America 1919-Chapter 675

Chapter 675: 233, Baku Oil Field Chapter 675: 233, Baku Oil Field On the outskirts of Atlantic City, there is a simple horse track surrounded by a wooden fence, with workers chopping wood in the distance.

Inside the track, two purebred horses raced like the wind, but after two laps, their speed slowed, and Donnie and Coolidge dismounted from their steeds.

After all, Coolidge was already fifty years old, and he was panting heavily after dismounting, but he spoke excitedly, “It’s been a long time since I’ve felt this exhilarated!”

Donnie handed the riding crop and reins to the horse trainer who had just arrived, laughed, and said to Coolidge, “Then stay in Atlantic City for a longer time, so you can come here to play often!”

Coolidge nodded and replied with a smile, “Even if you hadn’t mentioned it, Donnie, I was thinking the same thing.

After all, with Harding and the other Cabinet members in Washington, I don’t really have anything to do.”

Donnie laughed heartily and said, “That’s how it should be.

What are we working so hard for if not to enjoy a better life?”

As they were talking, the two of them had already arrived at the temporary lounge next door, where Alice and Wendy Fiore were waiting, dressed just like Donnie in equestrian attire, their fitted clothing making them look valiant and spirited!

“What are you guys talking about that’s so fun?”

Alice handed Donnie a bottle of Coca-Cola and asked with a smile.

Coolidge happily said, “We’re discussing the idea of staying in Atlantic City for a longer time!”

Alice laughed and said, “Uncle Coolidge, it’s no problem if you stay here, but Fiore will be leaving Atlantic City tomorrow!”

John Coolidge didn’t actually have much interaction with the Roosevelt family, but at times like these, such formalities were still observed.

...

“Promoting the United States will be your responsibility now, Fiore!” Coolidge said cheerfully, not too concerned about Wendy Fiore’s departure.

Tomorrow, Wendy Fiore was set to start touring the nation to give speeches in conjunction with the United States Tourism Bureau!

Donnie said with a laugh standing by, “Actually, just giving speeches around the country doesn’t quite match Wendy’s status.

If Wendy could go and perform for the troops, it would probably lead to much better publicity!”

Upon hearing Donnie’s suggestion, Coolidge’s eyes lit up and he said with a smile, “If you have this idea, Donnie, I might be able to arrange something for you.”

After saying this, Coolidge laughed at himself, “I forgot about your relationship with General Pan Xing.

If you want, you could just talk directly to General Pan Xing!”

Donnie waved his hand and said, “No, John, I would be very grateful if you could help with this matter!”

Befriending someone isn’t just about each individual doing well; it’s also about helping each other out sometimes!

In the past couple of days, although Coolidge had not outright complained, many of his conversations indicated some dissatisfaction with his current idle status.

Now, Donnie was trying to make Coolidge feel needed, which would satisfy Coolidge’s fragile pride.

Besides, American soldiers were a great avenue for publicity.

Coca-Cola’s success in reaching beyond the United States owes much to those soldiers.

Upon hearing Donnie’s response, Coolidge was very happy and said laughingly, “If you need it, Donnie, of course I have no objections!”

They agreed on the matter just like that; and as for Wendy Fiore, well, she didn’t really have a say in this kind of thing!

They spent the whole morning at the horse track.

In the afternoon, Donnie and the others returned to the Surf Hotel, where Coolidge went off to rest, and Donnie used the time to catch up on some work.

That’s when Vince Marl walked in, his expression complex.

“What’s happened?”

Donnie asked, noticing his demeanor.

Vince Marl reported, “Over the past couple of days, Mr.

Furr has lost a total of $242,000 at the Surf Hotel and hasn’t paid in cash!”

Donnie put down his pen and looked up, “Doesn’t Albert Furr have a $500,000 credit line at the hotel?”

Vince Marl nodded, “Indeed, he does, but Mr.

Furr has lost over $500,000 in the hotel in total and still hasn’t replenished his cash.”

Donnie tapped on the desk and asked, “Has he left yet?”

Vince Marl answered, “I’ve checked with the railway company.

Mr.

Furr was supposed to take the train at noon today, but obviously, he’s missed it by now!”

“So, he’s still in the Diamond Hall?”

“Yes, and he doesn’t seem ready to stop.

Moreover, he’s running low on chips!”

Donnie stood up and said, “Let’s go to the Diamond Hall and take a look!”

“Alright!”

The two took the elevator to the fourth floor of the Surf Hotel, where the Diamond Hall was located.

When Donnie pushed the door and entered, he was greeted by the glittering decor, bunny girls weaving through the crowd, and even the croupiers were beautiful women who had undergone rigorous training.

In the Diamond Hall, there were rows of sofas where magnates sat flirting with the bunny girls.

Donnie saw Albert Furr sitting at a gambling table, impeccably dressed, showing no signs of dejection on his face despite having lost over twenty thousand dollars.

“Dear Albert, it seems your luck isn’t very good right now?”

Donnie sat down next to Albert Furr and spoke with a smile.

“Haha!” Albert Furr laughed heartily and said, “It’s only temporary.

I have confidence, Donnie—I’m sure to win the next hand!”
