43, Old Carl arrives
"Haha, I know no one can bully our Bullock family, even if this person is from Atlantic City!"
The hearty and hearty laughter has already revealed the identity of the other party. Naturally, he is Donny Bullock’s father, Old Carl!
Donnie was also shocked when he saw old Carl jumping out of the truck.
Before he could tell Chris and the others to move the wine in the car to the pub, he asked Old Carl.
"Why are you here?"
John said proudly: "As soon as Dad heard that someone dared to steal our Bullock family's wine, he immediately wanted to come and take a look at the current situation in Atlantic City!"
"What? Aren't you happy that I'm here?"
As Downey's business gets better and better, the Bullock family's previous worries have disappeared, and old Carl is now more enthusiastic than before.
"How could that be? I'm very happy!" Donnie glared at John fiercely, and then invited Old Carl to the tavern.
"Your place is much more lively than my place!"
Seeing the bustle in the tavern, Old Karl said with some surprise.
Donnie casually pulled away a man sitting on the bar and asked Old Karl to sit down, "You are here, are there any problems at home?"
Old Carl waved his hand and said proudly: "Don't worry, I have already explained everything!"
Only then did Downey feel relieved. The brewery in Elwood Village was the basis for his current foothold in Atlantic City, and Downey would never allow any problems to arise there.
"So, someone did take action on your way here?"
Only then did Donnie start to care about what happened on their way here.
At this time, John had also come over, took two bottles of beer from the bar, handed one to Old Carl, and opened one himself.
Tons tons tons......
"As you expected, LeBron did take action, but luckily we all hid in the pocket of the truck at that time, and a counterattack came, and all LeBron James' men were killed!"
Robert also walked over and said with a smile: "And the bodies of these people have been thrown into the Atlantic Ocean. No one will find them!"
After hearing what Robert said, Donnie was relieved.
"When did niggas dare to steal business from us?" Old Carl had obviously learned from Robert John who was the one who took action this time.
So old Carl was very angry.
Being robbed by a nigger would be laughed at if this kind of thing spread in Elwood Village.
"If I hadn't stopped him, dad would have gone to the North District by now!" John proudly asked Downey for credit.
"Donny, I'm not talking about you. Why do you get weaker the more you get richer? If those niggas dare to take action, just kill them!"
Downey finally knows who John got his character from.
"Things are not as simple as you think. Atlantic City has Atlantic City's rules of the game. Now we are not able to formulate our own rules, so we can only temporarily abide by their rules!"
Donnie also understood that there was no way to explain this kind of thing to Old Karl, he could only tell it in the simplest way.
Old Carl waved his hand and said nonchalantly: "Okay, anyway, Atlantic City was conquered by men. You have the final say on things here, but I have to tell you, if any nigger dares to go to Elwood Village
If they cause trouble for us, I will definitely kill them when the time comes!"
"Okay!" Downey had no objection, but thought about what Nucky had sent someone to do before. After talking on the phone in Nucky's study, Downey had not yet contacted Old Carl.
"Have there been any strangers in the village recently?"
At this time, Old Carl put away his arrogance and said to Downey seriously: "Someone did come over and said he was some kind of prohibition investigator. He seemed to be named Van Alden. Yes, that's the name!"<
/p>
Downey frowned slightly. He didn't expect that prohibition investigators had already begun to log into Atlantic City.
Although Atlantic City has clearly repealed Prohibition, this is just a statement from Atlantic City and has no strong legal basis.
"Did he cause any trouble for us?"
Downey asked directly. After all, Downey is now the largest moonshine brewer in Atlantic City!
Old Carl laughed proudly and said: "That white boy was very arrogant at first and said he wanted to take me away, but when he saw our dozen guns, he instantly became
Damn, I’m working as a bartender in my winery now!”
Downey: "..."
He knew that Old Karl was very strong, but he didn't expect that Old Karl was so strong.
But thinking about it, Downey can understand. Atlantic City's use of national prohibition has been developing rapidly for more than ten years. During this period, I have never heard of any prohibition investigators doing anything in Atlantic City.<
/p>
On the contrary, Nucky was finally arrested by federal investigators and the IRS (U.S. Internal Revenue Service) for tax evasion. It can be seen that there is no room for prohibition investigators to survive in Atlantic City.
"You still have to be careful. I believe there will be many people secretly going to our place to investigate."
Since the anti-alcohol investigators would do nothing in Elwood Village, Downey left him alone. When he arrived at Elwood Village, he first detained Nucky's people, and now he killed LeBron James' people.
, it will definitely become a place that many people want to pry into.
"Don't worry!" Old Carl said very confidently: "Even if a strange fly enters Elwood Village, we will know it!"
After a few people chatted for a while, Old Carl suddenly told Downey about another thing.
"Cameron told me that speakeasies have begun to appear in Philadelphia now, and the prices of drinks there are very considerable, and he also asked me to tell you that eggs should not be put in one basket, although now we have
We have lost the market in Atlantic City, but if we can get the markets in Philadelphia and New York, our wealth will definitely roll in!"
Cameron Bullock went to high school in Philadelphia.
Downey frowned slightly and said, "Why does Cameron care about these things if he doesn't study hard? Has he also been to those underground taverns?"
Old Carl shook his head and said: "Cameron told me that he had never been there, it was his classmates who said so."
Today's Philadelphia is not a zombie city for future generations. Before American manufacturing moved abroad, Philadelphia was a very important industrial city in the United States, especially its steel industry, which was Philadelphia's pillar industry.
p>
It is precisely because of this that Atlantic City was able to develop rapidly with the help of Philadelphia's middle class.
However, with the relocation of heavy industry in the United States and the Great Depression in the United States in the next decade, Philadelphia's economy declined rapidly, which directly caused Atlantic City's business to plummet. Atlantic City, which should have become one of the best luxury cities in the United States, also
Gradually being caught up with Las Vegas!
Downey said to Carl Lao: "Tell Cameron that the most important thing for him now is the SAT exam, not business matters. When he finishes college, there will be many things for him to do!"
Old Karl nodded and said: "I have already reprimanded him severely!"
Downey then said: "Don't think about New York. At least at this stage, the New York market is beyond our reach. As for Philadelphia, I will investigate the situation there first and then make a decision!"
p>
As a gray industry, bootlegging is bound to be connected with local gangs.
As the economic center of the United States, New York's gangs are also very powerful. Now New York City is being controlled by the Bugg and Meyer gangs.
As for the later ruler of the New York gang, Charles Luacino had not yet officially grown up at this time.
"Okay, I will remember these things!"
After taking a sip of beer, Old Carl said nonchalantly that Donny Bullock had proven his ability. This made Old Karl very much agree with Donny Bullock's words.
After the serious talk was over, Old Carl directly put his arms around Robert's neck and said to him: "I heard that Downey gave you a tavern?"
Robert's face turned red and he gasped: "I'm just managing, managing, the pub is still Donnie's!"
Even so, the relationship between Scott's Tavern and Downey is actually more like the relationship between a parent company and a subsidiary. Scott only needs to pay a certain amount of money to Downey every month and does not care about the rest.
Whatever you make, whatever you make, belongs to Robert.
Downey, who made this decision, understands very well that no matter how good a relationship is, if you think that it can be maintained forever just by relying on so-called friendship or family ties, it is impossible.
Only profit!
Interests that are exciting enough can truly make the people around you firmly focus on yourself and form a solid group!
"But I heard that your tavern has many items that this tavern doesn't have?"
Old Karl asked with a smile.
When brothers Donnie and John heard what Old Carl said, they immediately turned away in tacit agreement, pretending that they had not heard anything.
Robert also understood it and immediately said: "I will take you over now to have a look, and you can also give us a good guide!"
"Not bad!" Old Carl dragged Robert away from here.
.
On the other side, the panicked LeBron James hurriedly returned to his home, the only two-story villa in the North District.
Without enough time to take off his shoes, LeBron took out a bottle of rum from the wine cabinet and took a swig.
Seeing LeBron like this, his wife asked worriedly: "What happened? Where are TT and the others? Why didn't they come back with you?"
His wife's words made LeBron James feel like the gunshots were ringing out before, and he squatted on the carpet.
"Atlantic City is no longer the Atlantic City it used to be!"
