"Well, at least in a short time, we won't have any trouble!"

The next morning, Downey told Robert and John, who had returned from Elwood Village, what happened at the Reitz Hotel, and finally showed the most relaxed smile on his face.

John still said angrily: "Why should we cooperate with Nucky? If he dares to clamor with us, just kill him just like we killed George. I don't believe he is surrounded by people every day.

Crowds of people gathered around."

Donnie glared at John and said: "What are you thinking? Is Nucky comparable to George Korler? If he dies, the entire Atlantic City will be in chaos, and our business will also be implicated!"

With Nucky here, Atlantic City will be stable, and the various policies to resist Prohibition can be implemented safely. If Nucky dies, it will be leaderless, and the entire Atlantic City will fall into chaos. The boycott of Prohibition will also

It is bound to be hit.

John muttered a few words, still a little unwilling: "But if we sell the wine to them, we will make a lot less money!"

Downey said: "The water flows slowly. We are doing long-term business. If we want to do business in Atlantic City, at least in the short term, we cannot do without Nucky. And Nucky has channels, so we can do it in the early stage."

Don’t worry about sales anymore.”

John nodded in understanding, "I just don't like what happened before when he sent someone to assassinate you!"

Donnie smiled and said, "I don't like it either!"

Robert said to Downey from the side: "Three things. The first is that Prohibition is about to begin. Although Atlantic City is resisting Prohibition, it is undeniable that this matter will definitely affect ordinary people.

It will still have an impact, so I infer that the day before Prohibition, the entire Atlantic City will be plunged into a sea of ​​alcohol, and everyone will take to the streets to buy a large amount of stored alcohol and put it back in their homes. What will we do then?"

Although Prohibition, known as the 'Volstead Act', was boycotted in Atlantic City, many things could be done, but it could not be said blatantly, and many ordinary Atlantic City residents also considered this boycott,

It may not be successful.

So by then, there will definitely be many people buying a large amount of wine, just in case.

Such a situation will naturally make the alcohol dealers in Atlantic City make a lot of money... provided they can still come up with so much stored alcohol at this time!

Donny said nonchalantly: "If there are customers, we will sell, but we must leave enough to cover our needs for the next three days. I don't want the Bullock Tavern to be without wine. That would be a lot of fun."

Got it!"

After hearing this, Robert nodded and said he would handle the matter, and then he told Donnie the second thing.

"I have already said hello to some pubs that I am familiar with. They are very interested in our wine stock, but these people hope that we can be cheaper than them, and these people seem to have already negotiated.

It’s the same caliber.”

After hearing this, Downey nodded: "It's understandable. We are new here after all, and there is no way to compare with them. They must have learned about our loan from Nucky somehow."

Robert said with some worry: "Then what should we do? Should we lower the price for them, or should we continue to look at it?"

Downey sneered and said: "Reducing the price? Tell them that the price of this batch of wine has increased from 70% to 80%. If they are not willing to buy it, forget it. Tell them that we have no shortage of customers!"

Robert was slightly startled. He didn't expect that Downey would be so decisive. The other party was now asking them to lower their prices in the form of an alliance, but he didn't expect that Downey would not only not lower his prices, but also raise them?

"Would this allow these people to find others?"

Downey patted Robert on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't worry, it's not the past now. If they had other channels, how could they come to us?"

Robert thought for a moment and understood what Downey meant. There is a serious shortage of wine in Atlantic City right now. Except for Downey, who still has the stocked wine, no one else's stocked wine can be supplied in a short time.

"But I'm still a little worried, what if these people use off-market moves?"

"Damn, they dare, I will crush their... to pieces!" John immediately shouted loudly, finding his own sense of existence.

Robert rolled his eyes at Robert and said: "There are a dozen of them, plus their subordinates, there are dozens of them. Even if they ask you to pinch them one by one wherever they stand, you still have to pinch them."

Yes, and please stay away from me at that time, I don’t want to stand with a John who has pinched dozens of men..."

John's face turned red due to Robert's ridicule. John, who couldn't defeat Robert, simply took action and pushed Robert to the ground for a while.

Robert, who was bending his body, lay on his side on the ground, covering his legs tightly with his hands.

It seems like John really has some bad habits.

This made John, who was already angry, even more angry.

After John finished venting his emotions, Robert patted the dirt on his body and stood up like a normal person.

"Atlantic City is not just about pubs, hotels, and boarding houses. These places also need alcohol. And even if we don't sell it to them, we can sell a lot of it just on the night before Prohibition. Back then,

We want to sell to them because we want to avoid trouble. After all, our foundation in Atlantic City is not yet stable.

But it’s different now. We have reached a consensus on cooperation with Nucky. With Nucky here, they don’t dare to cause anything too extreme.

This is why I agreed to cooperate with Nucky before!"

Donnie explained to the panting John.

John sat there, took a big gulp of beer, and then said: "If you say that, I will understand!"

Downey looked at Robert and asked: "Okay, tell me about your third thing!"

Robert said: "I have already investigated the woman you asked me to investigate. Her name is Margaret Schroeder. Like other women in Atlantic City, she is a housewife. Her husband Dennis Schroeder is a

A baker's assistant, but this person prefers gambling and is not very skilled. Almost all of his salary is given to the casino. Margaret joined the WCTU the year before last and is now a director of this organization."

Then Robert added: "By the way, they don't have children yet!"

"Are you really married?" John thought of his previous guess about Margaret.

"It doesn't matter whether she's married or not!" Downey touched his chin and said with a smile, "What's important is that she is a director of WCTU. With this status, that's all!"

Robert nodded, looking at John who had not yet understood what Donnie meant, and once again showed a sarcastic smile.

This made John violent again, but this time Robert did not give John a chance to catch him. Instead, he moved around in the hall of the tavern so that John could not catch him at all.

"How long will it take for you to die?" Robert dodged John's big hand and mocked BUFF refill!

Seeing that he couldn't catch Robert, John could only continue to breathe heavily and sat next to Donnie.

"There's one more thing I don't understand?"

Donnie looked at his eldest brother curiously, "When did you start using your brain?"

"Me!"

Looking at John's clenched fists, Downey stepped aside and was at least three meters away from John before asking.

"What don't you understand!"

John said angrily: "That Allman was obviously trying to trick you last night, so why did you agree to cooperate with him? Didn't you say that as long as we can cooperate with Nucky in Atlantic City, there will be nothing wrong with us?"

Is there a problem?"

Downey smiled and said: "I don't want to comment on the reason why Allman did what he did last night, but one thing you have to know is that we are now in a cooperative relationship with Nucky. It does not mean that we will always be in a cooperative relationship with Nucky. Nucky is now

He cooperated with us because he understood that we did not pose any threat to him. If there is a conflict in interests between the two parties in the future, and we have reached a point where we can threaten his status in Atlantic City, do you think that time

, will he still cooperate with us?"

"So what does this have to do with Allman?"

John still didn't understand what Donnie meant.

"You're stupid! None of Lao Maozi's bears are as stupid as you!" Robert stood next to Donnie and said proudly: "Donnie's meaning is very simple. If one day we really have a conflict with Nucky,

Then we must have enough people following us.

Allman is a good candidate. He has connections and connections in Atlantic City, and he also has some brains. I think Downey must think that this person will have good development in the future, so he will not care about him last night.

Those things you did!"

"Ah!"

John stood up and touched his head, with a smile on his face, and said: "So that's it, then I understand!"

Robert made a distressed expression and said: "I really hope your strength can be given to your IQ, otherwise it will be too troublesome to explain to you every time!"

"Really?" John chuckled and suddenly stretched out his hand. At this time, Robert, who was less than one meter away from him, was already caught by John before he could react.

"Call me stupid, today I will show you what a fist as big as a sandbag is!"

Watching the two of them grappling together again, Downey still did not persuade him, but just said: "I still have some things to do, you two are at home to look after the store!"
