"Mr. Bullock, you are very welcome to come to my banquet!"

After seeing Downey walking over, Ponzi walked over enthusiastically, opened his arms and hugged Downey, without any sense of distance like when they first met!

"Mr. Ponzi's banquet has become the most beautiful scenery in Atlantic City. It is an honor for me to participate!"

After separating from Ponzi, Downey greeted Nucky again!

"Mr. Nucky, it's a great honor to see you here!"

Nucky looked calm and could not see any inner emotions, "I thought, Donnie, you would be very busy during this period and wouldn't have time to come over!"

In fact, Nucky's heart at this time is still very complicated.

Before that, he really hoped that Downey could kill David Jabbar. After all, this would be like breaking the brigadier general's arm. But when Downey really made David Jabbar disappear and took over the Folly Tavern, Nucky...

We have to start paying attention to Downey's strength.

Downey smiled easily and said: "I just got a bargain. Everything in the Fuli Tavern is on track. I just need to follow the previous business strategy!"

Nucky chuckled and said, "Then I wish you a prosperous future, Donnie!"

"I hope it's as Mr. Nucky said!"

Donnie smiled.

Just when Downey was thinking about how to talk to Nucky alone, Ponzi suddenly said to Downey: "Mr. Bullock, there is something I want to talk to you about alone. I wonder if Mr. Bullock has time?"

"Of course!" Downey simply thought about it and agreed to Ponzi's invitation.

Seeing that Downey agreed, Ponzi immediately apologized to Nucky and left with Downey. The moment Downey turned around, he looked at Lucy who had already walked towards Nucky. Lucy left no trace.

He nodded and understood what Donnie meant.

In Ponzi's villa, whether in the manor or in the villa, people can be seen everywhere. Downey even saw a violinist sitting in the corridor, playing an unknown tune.

The two of them went all the way to Ponzi's study.

"Mr. Bullock, please sit down!"

Ponzi poured a glass of Kahlua for Downey, and then smiled: "First of all, I want to congratulate Mr. Bullock for winning the Folly Tavern, the best tavern in Atlantic City!"

After saying that, he raised his glass to Downey.

Downey also raised his glass, and then said: "Mr. Ponzi invited me over. It seems he has something to say, right?"

Ponzi laughed and said: "Mr. Bullock was able to become a big shot in Atlantic City in a short period of time. It's really smart. But I heard that Mr. Bullock, your life has not been very good recently. Nucky wants to take it back."

That place at the Fuli Tavern?"

Downey said noncommittally: "Mr. Nucky and I are very good friends!"

Ponzi didn't care about Downey's attitude, smiled and said: "Downey, is it okay for me to call you this?"

"Of course, my friends all call me that!" Downey laughed.

"After I came to Atlantic City, I have actually paid attention to you, Downey. Based on my observations these days, I found that Downey is a very thoughtful and smart person. I believe that as long as I give you enough

Time, in less than ten years, you can become the king of Atlantic City!"

Ponzi praised Downey.

Downey looked at Ponzi leisurely. When such a big liar starts to flatter you without any bottom line, you should pay attention. The other party wants to take money from your wallet!

"I just want to be a businessman!"

Ponzi smiled and said: "But according to my observation, Downey, the next days will be very difficult for you. Nucky's matter... Although you don't want to admit it, we all know the details. More

The important thing is that not only Nucky has become wary of you, but even the Brigadier General is very dissatisfied with your behavior.

Facing the encirclement and suppression by the two major forces in Atlantic City, I am very worried whether Downey still has enough time to develop!"

"Does Mr. Ponzi have any idea?" Downey asked following Ponzi's words.

When Ponzi saw Donnie showing a hint of worry, he felt happier inside, but he didn't show it on his face, he just smiled.

"Actually, facing the current situation, Downey, you have not clearly seen your fundamental problem!"

Downey became more and more curious and asked, "I wonder what my problem is?"

Ponzi said like a teacher: "It's very simple, that is, before you have enough financial resources, you have an unmatched career. Such a situation will make you a lamb among the African lions."

"But I'm not a bank, I can't print money, and there's no way I can get enough wealth in a short time!" Downey said worriedly.

Ponzi smiled mysteriously and said: "This is why I invited you here today!"

Downey suddenly said: "So Mr. Ponzi, are you ready to accept my funds?"

Ponzi nodded and said: "Yes, I have traveled all over the United States, and what I hope to do most is to help those young people with potential, and Downey, you are the most promising young man I found in Atlantic City.
p>

If you can leave your funds to me, I can guarantee you that your assets will at least quadruple in one month!

With this money, I think you can resist the pressure from Nucky and the Commodore!"

Downey showed an expression of surprise at first, but then suddenly changed his expression and said: "That's not right!"

Ponzi, who originally thought Downey had taken the bait, was slightly startled and asked, "What's wrong?"

Downey sat there, looked at Ponzi carefully, and asked: "You and I have never met each other. There are many people richer than me in Atlantic City. More importantly, Nucky has a good relationship with you. You

Why should you support me?"

Ponzi was slightly relieved when he heard Downey's question. His scam in Boston was becoming increasingly difficult to maintain. Even at this time, many people were doubting it, so Ponzi could only

It's a new approach.

When he was inspecting Washington, he met Nucky at a party. After learning about the current situation in Atlantic City, Ponzi immediately decided to come to Atlantic City.

Now Downey is his best target for deception. He originally thought that the other party had discovered something... Fortunately, it wasn't!

"Donnie, have you forgotten what I just said? I am a person who likes to help young people very much, because I was once young and know the desire and difficulty of a young person to succeed. At my stage, in fact,

I am no longer interested in pure wealth, but if I can help a young man who is eager to obtain wealth to obtain wealth, this will bring me a greater sense of accomplishment."

Having said this, Ponzi looked at Downey with some disappointment and continued.

"But your skeptical attitude now makes me very disappointed, especially in my heart. Since you have doubts, Mr. Bullock, then just pretend that we didn't say anything tonight, and you can go out and enjoy the wine and wine at tonight's banquet."

Delicious!"

As he said this, Ponzi had already stood up and showed signs of seeing off his guests.

Downey quickly said: "Mr. Ponzi, don't be angry. I was overthinking it just now. I hereby solemnly apologize to you!"

Ponzi, who had already stood up, sat down again and sighed: "Actually, I understand your worries, Downey, but you should understand that Italians do not lie to Italians. We are all from Italy. We

There is also Italian blood flowing in his body.

I just want to help a young and promising Italian descendant!"

Downey sincerely apologized: "This matter is my problem, and I solemnly apologize to Ponzi again!"

"Okay, I accept your apology!" Ponzi nodded and said magnanimously.

Downey asked tentatively: "What about the investment you just talked about?"

"I will still help you!" Ponzi said seriously.

Downey thanked: "Thank you very much for your generosity, Mr. Ponzi. To be honest with you, I do have some cash in my hands, but after acquiring the Fuli Tavern, I don't have much left, and I have to maintain these three hotels."

The operation of the tavern is limited, so I can’t take out much at once!”

Ponzi's expression changed and he said, "Are you still doubting me?"

"Of course not!" Downey immediately waved his hand: "Mr. Ponzi, don't worry, I will definitely raise a certain amount of funds in the shortest possible time!"

Ponzi then smiled and said, "Okay, how long will it take?"

Donnie pondered for a moment and said: "Three days, give me three days, and I will invest the money in your company after three days!"

"Okay!"

Ponzi nodded.

After the two of them finished chatting about this matter, there was nothing else to do, so they quickly walked out of the villa Ponzi rented.

After the two people walked out, someone immediately came to Ponzi.

When Downey saw this, he left.

Finding Nucky is not difficult, because no matter where Nucky appears, he is always the focus of that place, and now is no exception.

In the middle of the manor, Lucy held Nucky's arm, and around them there were many celebrities from Atlantic City chatting with them.

From time to time, bursts of brilliant laughter would erupt from the crowd.

Downey took a cocktail from the waiter's tray and walked towards Nucky.

For Downey, Ponzi's chat just now was just a pre-meal for tonight. The real meal was Nucky.

"Look, isn't this the new owner of the Folly Tavern, our new celebrity in Atlantic City, Mr. Donny Bullock!"

After Nucky saw Donnie coming, he immediately laughed loudly.

The people who had been around Nucky looked at Downey with a somewhat complicated look. They had all received news from different channels that Nucky planned to take back the place in the Folly Tavern.
