Chapter 1035: 354, go be an emperor of dirt.
Great power, vast wealth.
When all these were placed before Antonio Carmona, even after two days of consideration, he ultimately agreed to Donnie's suggestion!
Donnie was not surprised by Antonio Carmona's choice because, on another timeline, when Antonio Carmona opted for an armed coup, he also sought the support of the United States.
At that time, Antonio Carmona paid a significant price with the aim of making Portugal the first stop for the United States to enter Europe!
Now Donnie merely advanced this event!
"General Carmona, I must say, you have made a very correct choice!"
Donnie handed Antonio Carmona a piece of paper, "The names on this paper are of my people in Lisbon; after you return to Portugal, you can contact them, and they will provide some assistance to you when entering Lisbon!"
Antonio Carmona looked at the names on the paper, shocked.
He had guessed that Donnie would send people to Portugal in advance, but what surprised him was that Donnie had sent three thousand people there. Although this piece of paper did not list all three thousand names, each name was followed by the number of people they commanded.
At this moment, Antonio Carmona was very grateful to have chosen to cooperate with Donnie, otherwise a three-thousand-strong armed team in Lisbon could undoubtedly turn Lisbon upside down.
It must be known that Antonio Carmona's planned armed coup at this time was not just him alone, there were two others involved; however, the cooperation among the three quickly disintegrated after the armed coup, and Antonio Carmona launched another armed coup to suppress the other two, directly ascending to the highest leadership position in Portugal.
"Additionally, I have prepared 5 million US Dollars in cash for you; when you leave Atlantic City, this money will return to Portugal with you!"
Including the 5 million US Dollars now, Donnie had already spent 10 million US Dollars for Antonio Carmona's rise, but Donnie did not feel distressed about this money, as long as Antonio Carmona's armed coup was successful, then Portugal would become Donnie's own backyard!
Antonio Carmona firmly shook Donnie's hand and said, "Thank you, Mr. Block, rest assured, when I take Portugal, you will be our most distinguished guest in Portugal!"
Donnie smiled and nodded, saying, "I naturally believe that!"
After sending off Antonio Carmona, Donnie summoned Feng Zhangping!
Feng Zhangping appeared very excited upon seeing Donnie; his status as a croupier at Surf Hotel made Feng Zhangping quite respected in Atlantic City, partly because of Donnie's deliberate arrangement that made the status of Chinese people in Atlantic City inherently higher than in other cities in the United States.
All of this made Feng Zhangping very grateful to Donnie!
"Boss, you called for me!"
Donnie let Feng Zhangping sit down and said with a smile, "I heard you've been organizing some Chinese people living in nearby cities to settle in Atlantic City recently?"
Although Atlantic City does not yet have a Chinatown, the number of Chinese residents here can already rank among the top in American cities!
Feng Zhangping has contributed significantly to this achievement.
However, Feng Zhangping was somewhat worried about Donnie's sudden inquiry, "Boss, have I done something wrong?"
Donnie waved his hand and smiled, "Don't worry, I'm just casually asking!"
Feng Zhangping then breathed a slight sigh of relief and said, "Indeed, because of your kindness, boss, we've felt equal respect here, and we are all very grateful to you!"
Donnie nodded and said, "If I were to ask you to leave Atlantic City, would you be reluctant?"
Feng Zhangping's face immediately changed, "Boss..."
Donnie waved his hand again and said, "Don't worry, you haven't done anything wrong; it's because I recently want to expand our business to the East, and I've chosen Macau. According to the information I've received, Macau is very exclusionary; if foreigners go, it would be even more difficult, although Chinese people would also face some exclusion, it is better than foreigners."
Now that Antonio Carmona has agreed to Donnie's terms, Donnie also plans to report the matter of Alves Reis immediately after Antonio Carmona returns to Portugal.
That is to say, Antonio Carmona becoming Portugal's highest leader is just a matter of a few months, so Donnie also needs to start laying out plans in Macau!
The Eastern market, whether it's Macau or Hong Kong, Donnie will not give up.
However, since Donnie has not yet achieved his desired position in the United Kingdom, he can only begin laying out plans in Macau for now!
It is 1925 now, and there are still over ten years before the Emperor of Macau arrives in Macau, and this period is enough for Feng Zhangping to establish his own commercial empire in Macau using his resources.
By then, Donnie could cooperate with the Emperor of Macau and connect with the East through him!
This is a secret line that will be laid out for more than ten years!
These matters, Donnie certainly wouldn't tell Feng Zhangping.
Upon hearing that Donnie actually wanted him to go to Macau, Feng Zhangping became instantly conflicted.
He had already married and had children in Atlantic City, making it his home, and now Donnie was actually asking him to leave.
