Chapter 752: 258. To recall the Speaker_2
“I believe that anything in this world can be resolved through negotiation, and although these two conglomerates wield enormous influence, their investments in New Jersey are not limited to the Surf Hotel. As long as I’m willing to offer up some resources, I’m confident they’ll seriously consider my proposal. After all, their stake in the Surf Hotel isn’t very large!”
The JK Shipyard is the core interest of Aman Louis; he doesn’t want to back down not even one step.
In fact, if someone other than Donnie were building the Trident Shipyard, Aman Louis wouldn’t worry at all because with his power in place, no shipyard could challenge JK’s interests, but now the one doing this is none other than Donnie Block!
A person with tremendous influence in New Jersey.
Sitting on the couch lightly tapping the table, Donnie thought for a while and then said to Aman Louis, “All right, Mr. Louis, I can still make some concessions. First, I can assure you and your family of political support. Additionally, I can guarantee that Trident Shipyard will not compete with JK Shipyard for customers. If they are clients of JK Shipyard, we at Trident will not entertain them. Do you think this sincerity is sufficient?”
As mentioned before, the shipbuilding industry within the United States itself is not that large, and they don’t have many customers. So when Donnie was preparing to establish Trident Shipyard, he had already set his sights on the United States Navy.
...
Although JK Shipyard is the largest shipyard in New Jersey, in reality, they don’t have any business with the United States Navy, and Donnie didn’t care much about the other business.
But Donnie’s concessions didn’t win the approval of Aman Louis.
“Donnie, your step back moves me a great deal, but I still can’t agree to your proposal because such a proposal has no legal binding. Now, while I hold this position, you could give the Louis family the respect they deserve, but what about after I leave?
Nobody knows, and the reason I could rise from nothing to where I am now is that I’ve always believed that it’s best to control my own destiny and not to leave it in the hands of anyone else!”
Clearly, Aman Louis’s response had severed the possibility of a peaceful solution between Donnie and himself.
When Aman Louis left Block Manor, both he and Donnie understood that their struggle had begun!
The first thing Donnie did was to call Damai James to his house and also telephoned Robert, asking him to drop everything in Atlantic City and come to Trenton city immediately!
Upon arriving at Block Manor and meeting Donnie, the first thing Donnie said to him was,
“Damai, how would you like to become the Speaker of the New Jersey State Assembly?”
Damai James hadn’t expected such sudden good fortune, and naturally, Donnie’s inquiry left him without any objections.
“If I could become the Speaker of the New Jersey State Assembly, then, Donnie, your business in New Jersey will not encounter any official obstacles, and New Jersey’s votes will always follow your arrangements!”
This response effectively tied Damai James securely to Donnie’s battleship.
“Good, from now on, you need to prepare yourself to become the Speaker of the New Jersey State Assembly!”
Since Aman Louis chose to stand his ground against him, Donnie naturally couldn’t keep him around any longer.
It was time to put someone obedient in power!
“Thank you, Donnie. Can we start contacting other legislators now, since there isn’t much time left before the election?”
Damai James said somewhat impatiently.
In the United States, there is the House of Representatives and the Senate, and according to the U.S. Constitution, all state legislatures are elected and made up of two chambers. Most states refer to the Senate as the upper house and the House of Representatives as the lower house, but there are exceptions, like Nebraska, which has a unique unicameral legislature.
State Senators are elected, and the Speaker is elected by the legislators.
Now, Damai James wanted to use Donnie’s influence to contact various legislators and thereby affect the election of the Speaker.
In New Jersey, many legislators can’t cover their living expenses with just their assembly salary, so they usually have other jobs. Take Damai James, for instance, he’s a lawyer as well!
In the United States, being a lawyer is indeed a highly respected profession… at least it is now!
Most of these legislators also hold positions in large companies, using their votes and power to secure more benefits for the companies behind them.
It is precisely because of such policies that the wealth gap in the United States is growing wider, since those who wield power and wealth are always the same group of people.
Donnie shook his head and said, “We can’t wait!”
Donnie believed that Aman Louis had already anticipated this, and the latter was already prepared to wage war against him. In such a situation, the opponent would definitely start the battle swiftly and aim to end it before the election.

Because only by doing so could they secure their interests and authority, remaining Speaker through the election process!
