Nucky's actions and Donnie's visits laid the groundwork for Nucky's abdication!
Nucky's decision wasn't a joke, and Donnie indeed possessed the qualifications to become the underground emperor of Atlantic City.
Though there were still those dissatisfied with the outcome, they could only keep their dissatisfaction to themselves, at least openly they wouldn't dare to show it!
It was in such a situation that Robert Woodruff, the most successful chairman in the history of the Coca-Cola Company, came to Atlantic City.
For this visit to see Donnie, Robert Woodruff felt uneasy; he had returned to the Coca-Cola Company this year to officially take on the role of manager of the company's marketing department.
Taking this position was motivated by two reasons: Robert Woodruff had always considered himself a successful salesman, and with the Coca-Cola formula being perfected, the most important issue for the company was now how to make Coca-Cola the favorite of every American.
