America 1919-Chapter 392 - 167. Donnie Takes Action (10,000-word chapter, continuing to repay the debt~)

"Boss, not only at Elk Hills, but the oil well workers from the Teapot Dome area and the Bo Wei region have phoned in, reporting similar situations!"

Kritch, who was in charge of the logistics company, relayed to Donnie the situation with equipment transportation at the oil wells near the three major oil fields.

Donnie showed no signs of emotional waves; he had known that matters were bound to develop in this direction after he decided to reject the suggestion from the four major Oil Companies!

"Since the other party wants to play games, then let’s play games with them properly!"

Donnie told Kritch, "Tell them to avoid any conflict with the opposing side until Robert and the others have arrived. Once Robert and the others are there, they should follow Robert’s and their orders."

To handle this matter, Donnie had specifically sent Robert, not only him, but Westglenn and Randy Powers had been dispatched as well.

Robert was responsible for the Elk Hills oil field, Westglenn for the Bo Wei region oil field, and Randy Powers for the Teapot Dome oil field.

Due to the distance between the three locations, to ensure the unity of action, they had to wait until all of them had arrived at their designated areas before they could act simultaneously!

Kritch, already aware of Donnie’s plan, nodded and said, "I understand!" Explore stories on novelbuddy

"Haha!"

Harry Sinclair and the others, who had not yet parted ways, also learned about the incidents at their respective oil fields. After learning the details, Harry Sinclair laughed heartily.

"I’ve always said that Donnie Block only appears formidable, but once things move beyond Atlantic City, Donnie Block’s methods are useless!"

Eduardo Doherty was then complimenting Robert Stuart, "We still have to thank Colonel Stuart for this. If he hadn’t recruited so many veterans for us, we couldn’t have suppressed Donnie Block’s men!"

Robert Stuart laughed heartily and said, "It’s a small matter. Without us taking them in, those guys would still only be able to petition at their respective City Halls. Now that we are willing to shelter them, pay them salaries, and let them provide for their families, if they can’t work for us with all that, then what’s the point of hiring them?"

James O’Neal, sitting back on the sofa with legs crossed, said, "However, hiring these people is still a considerable expense. Once Donnie compromises with us in the future, I think we can get rid of a part of them, which will also reduce the wages we have to pay!"

"Exactly, those people are just tools we temporarily need. When we no longer need them, naturally we can dismiss them!"

Harry Sinclair immediately agreed with the idea.

Now, in order to exert military force against Donnie, they had hired hundreds of veterans at each oil field, with each month’s expenditure being twenty thousand US Dollars. Though this sum was not significant for them, the idea of giving it to the veterans still displeased them greatly!

After a pause, Eduardo Doherty still said, "Letting them go is a matter for later. Didn’t Colonel Stuart previously mention that Donnie had agreed with General Pan Xing on hiring 3000 people? If Donnie really moves all his people to the three oil fields, it will still be troublesome."

Harry Sinclair laughed and said, "Doheny, you worry too much. Donnie won’t possibly transfer all those people over. The oil well income isn’t insignificant, but for all of Donnie’s businesses, the bootlegging trade is his biggest. I’ve already investigated, and Donnie’s bootlegging business has begun to be deployed nationwide, and his transport teams are already in these vehicles.

He won’t likely dispatch any more manpower to the oil fields, so don’t worry about that!"

When it came to Donnie’s bootlegging business, even a tycoon like Harry Sinclair couldn’t hide a hint of envy in his voice.

If we only look at the profits, the bootlegging trade is almost the most lucrative in the United States at the moment, and Donnie is now America’s largest bootlegger, with annual profits approaching a hundred million US Dollars, which is more than they make from oil!

Unfortunately, what they didn’t know is that the oil industry would be the mainstream of the future, and the bootlegging trade would only be profitable for ten years. After a decade, with the repeal of Prohibition, though there would be some controls on drinking, the market would open up, and profits wouldn’t be as substantial.

But oil is different. Even a hundred years later, amidst the emergence of various new energy projects, controlling oil still means controlling the global economy.

James O’Neal said, "Now I think Donnie Block must have received the news on his side. Should we let Hades go see Donnie again? If Donnie is willing to bow his head, we could resolve this issue sooner!"

Robert Stuart waved his hand and said, "We can’t actively seek out Donnie Block yet. Like you said, since Donnie Block now knows the news, if he is willing to bow his head, he should actively seek out Hades, not the other way around. Otherwise, we would make Donnie Block think our bottom line is just this!"

Eduardo Doherty voiced his concern, "But what if Donnie chooses to go for broke and have his men forcefully break through?"
