Nevin Byrd relied on the influence of the Eastern District, which Donnie also highly valued. Therefore, if possible, Donnie hoped to peacefully resolve Nevin Byrd's issue.
After some consideration, Nevin Byrd made appropriate concessions, "I have discussed this matter with Mori, and we are not greedy people; we only want our share. So, Mori and I are willing to compromise and reduce the number of Golden Halls from nine to six, if Donnie, you could agree to our terms and also persuade Nucky."
"We will fully support your plans for Atlantic City!"
Reducing from nine to six seemed like they were giving up three at once.
But in reality, each person still operated three Golden Halls.
This outcome was unacceptable to Donnie and Nucky. According to Donnie's plan, no individual or group in Atlantic City could operate more than two Golden Halls!
