Hardy Empire 1945

There is a gun.

Got enough bullets again.

Old Mike settled the accounts, the principal plus a 30% premium, a total of more than 3,800 US dollars, which is not a small sum of money.

It's not expensive on credit anyway.

Hardy signed off.

Back at Bill's house, it had become their stronghold. Everyone kept playing with guns in the living room. Hardy looked at their posture and thought that with these people and these guns, it would be a pity not to rob a bank.

Of course he wouldn't actually rob a bank.

There are many ways to make money,

There is no need to stir the nerves of the government and the police.

Brothers, let me talk about the next work. Hardy said.

Everyone looked at Hardy.

They didn't come to Los Angeles for retirement, and naturally knew that they would be involved in gang fights, but no one was afraid here. They were all veterans from the battlefield, and they were a little excited when they heard that there was a combat mission.

I told you before that the Jewish gang is now in conflict with several other gangs in Los Angeles. It involves Irish gangs, Spanish gangs, Mexican gangs and even other gangs. I need more detailed information.

You are all fresh faces, which is conducive to investigation. Henry and Matthew, you two will investigate the intelligence of the Irish, and Neil and Leo will work in two to investigate the information of the Spanish gang.

Henry, Matthew, Neil, and Leo nodded immediately.

Sean and Ryder are still in charge of daily business, while Richard and Kerry are in charge of following the car, and pay attention to possible sneak attacks by the enemy at any time.

Several people who were called also expressed their understanding.

Hardy thought for a while, then called Big Ivan again and told him to pay attention to the situation of the Mexican gang, the Polish gang and some other gangs.

Big Ivan immediately said that he would investigate carefully.

Early the next morning.

Everyone simply bumped their heads and went out. Hardy took Sean and Ryder in the truck to deliver the goods, while Richard and Kerry followed behind in Bill's Ford, ready to deal with possible situations.

A large number of weapons are placed in the body of the Ford car.

Time flies, a week has passed, and this week has been surprisingly quiet, giving people the illusion that the whole of Los Angeles has become peaceful.

But something big happened that day.

......

woo-woo--

A loud whistle sounded.

A huge container ship sails into the Port of Los Angeles.

When the freighter just stabilized, several cars appeared at the port, and dozens of staff members in customs and police uniforms got off the cars.

an examination!

Customs officers board the ship.

A container was opened, and it was filled with wooden boxes. The wooden box was opened and sawdust ripped open, revealing bottles of red wine inside.

Director, it's French red wine.

The supervisor looked at the entire container and nodded, It seems that the whistleblower is right. Seize it and check it out.

The staff are busy.

The wooden boxes were all moved into the port warehouse, piled up like mountains, and after careful inspection, they included various brands of top French red wine.

Mouton,

Latour,

Bertus,

Margot,

There are also a large number of second-tier brands.

A total of 430 cases, more than 2500 bottles.

Supervisor, it has been checked. All are French red wine, with a total value of more than 250,000 US dollars. The goods written on their customs declaration documents are toys and fishing gear. The goods are completely inconsistent with the documents.

At this time, toys and fishing gear are duty-free items in the customs tariff list.

If taxed, these smuggled goods will probably have to pay more than 80% of the import duties.

That is to say, the total price of this shipment is more than 450,000 US dollars.

What did the person in charge of the freighter say? the supervisor asked.

He said he didn't know at all.

The supervisor sneered twice,

It's clean when it's pushed, so detain him first. This batch of goods will be seized directly. Report it to see how it will be dealt with above.

......

When the Jewish gang boss Fred learned that the batch of red wine was seized by customs, he almost smashed the phone in anger.

That's 250,000.

The selling price is over 450,000.

He can be sure that this is definitely the work of other gangs, otherwise the customs would not be able to check so accurately, and the goods would be seized before they entered the port.

This thing is too big.

Fred thought for a while and picked up the phone again.

Listen to the ringing on the phone.

Fred was very uneasy in his heart, things were messed up, and he didn't know how the boss would deal with him.

the phone is connected,

A low male voice came from the microphone.

who is it?

Fred became nervous involuntarily, Mr. Siegel, it's me Fred.

What's wrong Fred?

Fred carefully told the other party the news that the smuggled red wine was seized by customs. When Fred finished speaking, an angry voice came from the other end of the phone.

Fred, you've let me down too much, your actions are weak, all I've seen these days is your inaction, and now I'm ordering you to act and put them down on me.

As for the red wine, I will find a way to clear it up with the customs, and maybe I can get it back, but it will also cost a lot of money, you know!

Fred was scolded and lowered his head and dared not speak.

hang up the phone,

Fred clenched his fists.

He knew that his boss was using the money, and even secretly diverted some of the company's funds. He had told him before that he was trying his best to make money during this time, but now he has screwed up the business. No wonder the boss is so angry.

Ordered to call second-in-command Alan Payne.

Ellen, our goods were seized by customs. Big Siegel was very angry, and we had to do something. What's your idea?

Ellen Payne thought about it.

First, start the action team and launch retaliatory actions against the Irish. Second, now that normal business has been affected, increase the profit commission, so that the subordinates can do their own business well, and thirdly, encourage the subordinates to take action, originally they were their own. The division of action is four or six, and we can raise it to three or seven.”

Retaliation is sure to retaliate, and the arrogance of the Irish must be beaten down, otherwise they will become more rampant.

Now that the business is affected, the increase in the share is used as an incentive bonus, and I want to make my subordinates do things better.

As for private operations, it is generally the actions of subordinates who go out to make money. Casinos, loan sharks, controlling bars, and brothels are gang businesses. As a gang member, there are many ways to make money, such as theft, robbery, kidnapping, and extortion. Money business.

Before the gang members went out to do business, they were divided into 40% and 60% with the gang, and 40% and 60% of the gang members. Payne proposed to increase it to 37%, which would stimulate the desire of those guys.

Okay, it's decided like this, you go to call all the supervisors and the leaders of each district, and give them a meeting in the afternoon to assign tasks. Fred made a final decision.

Hardy was notified to go to the headquarters for a meeting.

conference room,

Fred took the seat.

Second-in-command Alan Payne sat next to him.

Below sit more than twenty leaders.

There are people who Hardy knows, such as the warehouse supervisor and the leaders of several other blocks, but it is the first time he has met more people, such as the casino supervisor, the supervisor in charge of smuggling, the supervisor in charge of the usury business, and the distance is far. the head of the block.

Many of these people saw Hardy for the first time, and they looked at him curiously.

Fred grimaced.

There's been a lot of things happening lately, the Irish and other gangs have joined forces and we've had clashes, pubs, nightclubs, casinos, vans have been attacked and we've lost a lot of money.

Today, a container of red wine shipped from France was checked. It can be guessed that it must be the ghost of other gangs, which caused us heavy losses.

The others listened to Fred's speech, and no one dared to speak out, they all listened quietly.

But they know

The boss called everyone over must have a big decision.

Three!

Fred held out three fingers.

This time the red wine container was checked, the time line and even the container number were clearly known to the other party. There must be a traitor in it.

The director in charge of smuggling turned ugly.

He didn't betray the organization, but there was a problem where he was in charge, and he couldn't be blamed.

Williams, I will send you to investigate this matter. We must find out the traitor, ask all the information, and then~ Shen Hai!

That mole cost us over half a million dollars!

Fred gritted his teeth.

The smuggling supervisor Williams quickly stood up, Yes, boss, I will definitely do this well and find out that bastard!
