In 1919, Donnie's soul traversed into the United States. To start off, Donnie, just a soldier who had recently stepped down from the battlefields of World War I, was framed by his superior. Before the Prohibition era began, he took over a bar in Atlantic City. With the perspective of a transmigrator and ruthless tactics, he gradually became the largest bootlegger in America. In the roaring twenties, Donnie delved into bootlegging, ran beauty pageants, built his career, and stormed Wall Street. Decades later, when people studied modern American history, they found that the name 'Donnie Block' was one they simply could not ignore!!!

And the Union Pacific Railroad Company also had a significant influence on the oil companies.

Before the Rockefeller family built the oil pipelines, rail transport was the only means of oil transportation in the United States. As such, a very prominent figure emerged in America, Vanderbilt.

At the time, Vanderbilt almost monopolized the railroad industry in the United States.

Rockefeller's Standard Oil was able to rise, in fact, with the help of Vanderbilt. However, later, due to a series of maneuvers by Rockefeller, he tried to get Vanderbilt to compete with his only rival, so that he could secure even lower transportation prices.

But Vanderbilt preferred to have a competitor rather than let Rockefeller's underhanded tactics go unpunished.

So Vanderbilt joined forces with his peers, renegotiated contracts, and canceled all discounts to Rockefeller, causing all railroads across America to unite in raising their transportation fees.
