Joseph's expression froze. Was Donnie showcasing the business of Atlantic City to him?

No!

This was Donnie showing off his power.

Donnie was telling him that Atlantic City had already united with several other cities!

"Alright!" After a brief consideration, Joseph spoke, "If you, Donnie, can reduce the Miss America sideline bets down to twenty percent next year, I can make a decision to increase the bootleg liquor dividends to thirty percent in Los Angeles!"

Donnie burst into laughter. A gangster is a gangster; even if they become historically renowned, they still couldn't shed certain bad habits.

Simple-minded!

At this point, Donnie had completely understood what Joseph was thinking.

Did the other party not have channels to transport liquor from Italy to Los Angeles?

That would be impossible. Working with the Coast Guard was simply making what used to be an under-the-table operation overt and also allowed for an increase in quantity.
