America's King of Poetry

Chapter 37 The Difficult Character

This supper lasted until the early hours of the morning, and several big shots were drunk, and Montoro was especially drunk.

As a person who has just become the leader of the Luciano family, entertaining all the bigwigs in New York and New Jersey in his own place has to be said to be a recognition of his identity.Montoro needs this kind of recognition very much, and his life in the family has not been particularly easy recently.Silvester contradicted him everywhere, but that guy Dior was strong on the outside, and he didn't know what was going on in that fat head every day.

This gathering made Montoro's position in the family more stable. Anyway, he thought so himself, so he was worried about Arthur's small tricks of the Gandolfield family all the time.Some time ago, he had just met twice with Balmond in Queens, and Balmond hoped that the Luciano family could provide some cheaper sources of goods.

The Luciano family does have another source of goods, which is a special channel of goods imported from Canada. The quantity is not large, but the quality of the goods is high, hidden and stable.But this source of goods is in the hands of Silvis, and Montolo doesn't know the details about the specific route, price, connector, supplier, etc.The other people who knew about the route were Casey and Tony, but they were both dead.

So Montoro didn't dare to object to Arthur's idea of ​​using Balmond to take a bite out of the Gandolfield family's drug market, but he wasn't particularly keen.The most important thing for him is to stabilize his position as the boss.Unlike Russell and Abramo, Montolo and Arthur have no spiritual link, and his submission is purely out of interest and a little friendship.

And these, in the face of power, will become worthless.

Drunk Montolo ran to the back kitchen, put his arms around Arthur's shoulders, patted his stomach, and said with a mouthful of alcohol, "Tonight's dishes are good Arthur, very, very good. And Jackie appreciates you very much. I can see that maybe you shouldn't continue to be a cook here. You should come to the family, come to the family."

Arthur was arranging the kitchen utensils. He broke away from Montolo's arm and said coldly, "You're drunk Montolo, go back early."

Montolo showed annoyance on his face, grabbed Arthur, and continued to stick out his tongue: "Arthur, Arthur, you should come to the family. There is no one from the Luciano family, how can you call Luciano the family?"

The reason why Arthur has not been involved in family affairs in name is that apart from acting low-key to protect himself, there is another consideration, because if he joins family affairs, Montoro, as the party leader, is theoretically his supreme leader.Even if Arthur is called Godfather in private, Arthur must respect and be loyal to Montolo on the surface, which Arthur doesn't want.

Although he is a cook, he is a cook with pursuit, dignity and energy.

Arthur was finally annoyed when he heard Montoro making such a disrespectful request with the help of alcohol. He picked up the rolling pin on the chopping board and slapped it on Montoro's shoulders and back.After pumping several times, Montolo hissed in pain, but he didn't dare to yell, and his mind finally became clearer.

Arthur pointed his rolling pin at Montoro's nose, without the respect he had when serving food or pouring wine, and said in a vicious voice, "If you don't know your identity and position again, I'll beat you to death with a stick. Do you know what it's like to be beaten to death with a stick? It's normal to have no skin in your body, including your head. Even the embalmers can't save you."

Montolo, who was hiding in the corner with his arms raised, finally woke up a bit, and he nodded hastily, "Sorry, Sorry, I drank a little too much and said something I shouldn't have said."

Fortunately, no one came in at this time, otherwise, seeing the new leader of the Luciano family being whipped by a cook with a rolling pin like this, his jaw would definitely drop in shock.

Arthur put down his rolling pin and asked, "How's things going with Balmond? Have you made contact?"

Montolo replied: "Balmond is very interested in our goods, but...but part of our goods come from the Gandolfiel family, and the rest of our own control is in the hands of Silvis, who refuses to disclose the information of that line."

Montolo took the blame at the right time and cunningly blocked Silves in front of Arthur. Arthur had doubts about Silves before. It would be best for Montolo if Arthur and Russell could get rid of Silves.But Arthur had let Russell pay attention to Silves during this period. Apart from his confrontation with Montolo, he didn't have any changes, and there was no sign of secretly cooperating with other families.

"I will find a way to solve this matter, and the supply matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible. Also, what do you think about the 'Internet Gambling' matter that Jackie proposed, and are you interested?"

During the dinner, Jackie proposed the concept of "Internet Gambling", hoping that the bigwigs of various families can participate in it, and use the emerging Internet to expand the gambling business to the world.

To be honest, Arthur really admired Jackie's brains. In 1994, the Internet was still a novelty in the United States. It was mainly used in public affairs such as national defense, stock market, government affairs, and corporate affairs. Its development in the personal field was still in its infancy.And Jackie Gandolfield has realized the huge role of the Internet in gambling, pornography and even drug trade, and he has to be said to be a genius.

Arthur himself also has considerations for development in this area. He thinks it's better to borrow Jackie's resources and let him develop and develop. Wouldn't it be enough to grab it at the last breath?

Montolo didn't understand Arthur's thoughts. He shook his head and said, "I don't know what this guy is talking about. Internet, Intel, young people's new gadgets, I don't understand."

Arthur didn't expect Montolo to understand, and said: "Take care of him. If he offers to cooperate, don't refuse. Also, Tony's villa, sell it as soon as possible, and the funds obtained will be owned by the family. You also have to be careful, don't be deceived by Jackie's appearance, he may kill you at any time!"

According to the news from Abramo, at the right time, Jackie may kill Montolo at any time and assist those he can control to take the position.Abramo didn't get any information from Jackie about who this person was.It could be Silvis, it could be Dio, or someone else.

Hearing what Arthur said, Montolo felt a chill running down his back. Today, they have already shaken hands and made peace. Could it be that this is all a smoke bomb released by Jackie?He was a little confused about the situation, and he couldn't believe Arthur's words completely.Sitting in their seats, the only person they can really trust is themselves.

After calming down, Montolo told Arthur that Dior had recently intercepted a batch of Panasonic TVs shipped from Japan at the cargo terminal, and he could get one if needed.Arthur nodded and signaled Montolo to leave through the back door, and he continued to stay in the kitchen to collect the kitchen waste.

Looking at the empty restaurant, Arthur thought of Jackie and his half tooth, which was indeed a difficult character to deal with.

……

Jackie Gandolfiel and Luca Abramo split up from Luciano's, and after crossing the George Washington Bridge to Fort Lee, their car stopped by the Elephant Park near the bridge.This is a children's playground, which has been closed in the early hours of the morning, and the huge Ferris wheel stands there, looking very lonely.

Jackie and Abramo got out of the car respectively, climbed over the railing and entered the amusement park. Although they were both middle-aged, they were both quite skilled.Jackie still had a cigar in his mouth. He was always addicted to it. He took two puffs before he said to Abramo: "Luka, what do you think of the young chef tonight?"

Abramo knew that Jackie was talking about Arthur, and his heart moved, but he had to pretend that he didn't know Arthur, and replied cautiously: "The dishes are good, very thoughtful. It's just that I don't know much respect, so I dare to bet with you."

Jackie smiled. The creases on his face and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes could kill mosquitoes. He took the cigar from his mouth and said, "Arthur, his name is Arthur Luciano, and he is Tony's nephew. The former boss of the Luciano family, the son of Luther Luciano. To be honest, I suspect that Tony's death has something to do with him."

Abramo was startled, Arthur had hidden it very well, and Jackie could still find clues.Fortunately, Jackie didn't know that Abramo was Arthur's subordinate, and he was absolutely loyal.Jackie showing his heart in front of Abramo is no different from showing his heart to Arthur.

"However, I don't care about how Tony disappeared. Some things happened as they happened. It is meaningless to entangle the truth." Jackie and Abramo walked to the side of the carousel. He stepped over the outer fence, sat on a wooden horse, and rode in a decent manner.

To be honest, for Jackie, Abramo has never been able to see through him. He kills without blinking an eye, but at this moment his childlike innocence is overflowing.

After riding for a while, Jackie asked Abramo again, "How does it feel to gamble, isn't it lucrative?"

Abramo took over part of Jackie's gambling business. The gambling market is indeed huge, with high returns, but the key is that the risks are relatively small.The Gandolfield family has recently been thinking about bringing gambling to the Internet. Of course, there is not only gambling business, but also credit card fraud and telecom fraud behind it.

"Yes, especially in basketball, the odds are really accurate."

In the past, Abramo didn't care much about basketball. Recently, he watched more and more basketball games with his son. He found that the odds and scores set by the casino are quite accurate, and the bookmaker is sure to make money without losing money.The $1000 bet last time for Hunter made a small profit, and now Hunter is stuck in it and can't get out.

Jackie laughed again, showing half of his front teeth. He pinched his nose and said, "Basketball is nothing, football is the real big head. But basketball is easier to control, football is very troublesome to control..."
