Chapter 374: 161. The New York State Governor's election
Shura Field is only a Shura Field when the three parties meet; without their encounter, it ceases to be such!
Donnie was the first to receive Robert Taft and Martha Bowles.
In a private dining room at the Boise City Xi'er Hotel, Donnie, Helen, Albert Furr, Albert Furr's wife, Kate Alphonso, Robert Taft, and Martha Bowles sat together.
Robert Taft was somewhat surprised by the presence of Albert Furr. Although he knew Donnie had good relations with the Cabinet Ministers, tonight's occasion was clearly a private gathering. That Donnie could still invite Albert Furr under such circumstances proved that their relationship was very good indeed.
The United States Department of the Interior is responsible for the management and protection of natural resources, minerals, and marine resources within the country, as well as the management of national parks, memorials, and historic landmarks. In addition, the department enforces federal hunting and fishing laws, inspects coal mine safety, and deals with tribal affairs of Native Americans.

It's safe to say it's an important economic department in the United States.
Now that Donnie has close ties with the Secretary of the Interior, this signifies that he will be able to develop more business and earn more capital in the future.
"I might have underestimated Donnie!"
Robert Taft thought to himself.
"Donnie, the recent boxing match once again demonstrated the influence of Atlantic City Broadcast. I heard you have plans to relocate Atlantic City Broadcast to New York?"
Although Robert Taft was surprised by Albert Furr's arrival, he did not mention it and instead discussed with Donnie the plans to relocate Atlantic City Broadcast to New York.
"Donnie, are you planning to move Atlantic City Broadcast to New York?" This was the first time Robert Fall had heard of it.
Donnie nodded, "Indeed, there is such an idea. In fact, Atlantic City Broadcast has already begun looking for locations in New York. After moving to New York, Atlantic City Broadcast will also be renamed American Broadcasting Company!"
After hearing Donnie's plans, both Robert Taft and Albert Furr nodded in agreement, endorsing Donnie's strategy.
"Atlantic City is just too unique, especially now that your Atlantic City Broadcast has obtained so many exclusive live sports events. It's hard for people not to question its fairness. If it could be relocated to New York and undergo a name change, eliminating any trace of Atlantic City, I believe it would be a better way to manage the reputation of Atlantic City Broadcast!"
Albert Furr said earnestly.
Although this man became the first Cabinet Minister in American history to go to jail and landed the position through nepotism, reaching such heights meant he wasn't merely a fool; hence, his judgments on such matters were still valid.
Robert Taft also agreed, "That's true. However, once your Atlantic City Broadcast relocates to New York, I'm sure there will be even more people coming your way!"
To the eyes of capital, Atlantic City Broadcast is a highly desirable asset. Even Mellon Bank is considering doing an IPO for Atlantic City Broadcast, not to mention other investment companies.
Once Atlantic City Broadcast relocates to New York, the financial center of America, Donnie's door will probably be worn out by these people.
"No rush; everything is going very well with the development of Atlantic City Broadcast right now. We don't need financial support just yet; let's wait and see!"
Even though Donnie had previously refused Andrew Mellon, it did not mean he totally dismissed the idea of taking Atlantic City Broadcast public. Going public was definitely on the agenda, and Donnie always believed that to make money, big money, one could not monopolize all the profits.
But Donnie had the right to choose his own partners.
While Donnie was discussing Atlantic City Broadcast with Robert Taft and Albert Furr, Martha was inquiring about Helen's current work.
Inside the entire private room, it appeared to be a joyful company, with no intention of competing in drinking at all.
This was also within Donnie's plans; with Helen and three other people there, it was certainly not going to turn into a drinking contest.
So, after the dinner, Donnie, Robert Taft, and Albert Furr left Helen and the others behind and headed to the best tavern in Boise City!
"Donnie, this tavern's decor is quite similar to your Block Tavern!"
Upon arriving, Albert Furr immediately said with a laugh.
Having never visited Block Tavern, Robert Taft didn't know much about it and thus did not offer any opinions.
The three men took a seat in a private booth on the second floor, and the tavern's servers quickly brought over several curvy women.
Fine wine and beautiful women!
It's a setting no man could resist and soon, under Donnie's lead, Robert Taft and Albert Furr were both drinking merrily. At that point, they had begun to put aside their stature and status.
And so Brad Dorn appeared!
As the Chief Justice of Atlantic City, Brad Dorn's clout naturally could not compare to the other two, but at least he was part of the system. Additionally, Robert Taft and Albert Furr were already quite tipsy at this point.
