Hardy Empire 1945
Chapter 8: The bootleg business
What are you going to do? Wes asked Danny.
extrusion!
First squeeze the Jewish gang's business, including their nightclubs, bars, underground casinos, as well as usury business, smuggling business, consume their strength, and finally attack and destroy them completely. Dani said.
Have you thought about the jews fighting back? Wes asked.
Dani smiled faintly,
In the beginning, we don't have to be so blatant, come little by little, and find someone to smash their nightclubs, bars.
The robbery of wine trucks, even casinos, and the use of customs to sabotage the Jewish gang's smuggling business. If these methods are used, I believe those Jewish people will be devastated.
Although the brown bear is huge and ferocious, if it becomes riddled with holes, it will not be so ferocious, you say, Hai Mi.
Wes took a sip from the whisky on the table, pondered for a while, and looked up with a smile on his face.
Dani, I think your plan is good, and I agree to cooperate with you. He extended his hand to Dani.
Seeing Wes agree, Dani was very happy. The most important step of the plan had been taken. He seemed to see victory beckoning to him.
Shake hands with Wes.
The two reached an agreement.
Form a temporary alliance to deal with the Jewish gang together.
Dani left with the military division, and his deputy, Burgess Moran, looked at Wes and asked, Haimi, do you believe him?
Hemy Weiss chuckled and puffed out a cigar.
How could I believe him, Dani has never been a guy who values love and righteousness. It's all bullshit to avenge his subordinates.
As for business and territory, it is indeed possible, but he doesn't have such a big appetite. When he comes to us, the biggest possibility is to provoke us to fight against the Jewish gang. In the end, when both sides are exhausted, he will take the fisherman's seat. Li, take the opportunity to grow bigger.
Then you still promised to form an alliance with him? Moran asked in surprise.
Hemiweis spread his hands and said, It's just a mutual calculation. We and the Jews are always enemies. Why don't we use this opportunity to make trouble, maybe we can see the benefits.
Dani wants to use us, so why am I using him, hehe.
Burgess Moran also laughed along with Haimy, raised his glass and touched Wes, and the two took a sip happily.
Fighting in the underworld,
No one is a fool,
The mind is no worse than those of the politicians in the political arena, otherwise it will not survive.
Dani has his own purpose,
Wes had no idea of his own.
It just depends on who performs better.
......
on the car.
Dani smiled and said to the counselor Burstein, Look, the Irish are not difficult to deal with. They have always hated Jewish guys, and they will never let them go if they have a chance. Burstein, how are other gangs connected?
The Mexicans have already made contact. They will meet the Mexican boss tomorrow. I am afraid that the Tang people will be later. Their boss has gone to San Francisco and will not be back in a few days.
As for the Russians, on the Poles side, you don't need to come forward. I can talk to them. If I want to give a small profit, they will rush to the front and work for us.
Dani nodded.
Looking at the bustling neon lights on both sides of the street outside the car window, he seemed to see that the whole city would become his land, and he would become the king here.
the next day.
An Yi officially started work.
Sean and Ryder drove a van to pick him up, drove for half an hour to the slum, stopped in front of a big iron gate, and Sean honked his horn.
The door opened with a small hole, someone looked out, Sean waved at the man, and then the door opened.
The car drove in and parked in the courtyard, which was a row of warehouses.
Sean smiled and said to An Yi, Tom,
This is the gang warehouse, where all tobacco and alcohol are kept.
There are seven pubs and two nightclubs in the neighborhood we are in charge of. We get the order every evening, and the next morning we come here to pick up the goods and distribute the alcohol and tobacco. The pub settles with us once a week, and we also pay it every Monday. account.
A strong man came over, greeted Sean and Ryder, and then looked at An Yi. Sean introduced with a smile: This is Tom Hardy, the brother of Boss Bill, and he will be responsible for our affairs in the future.
Tom, this is Deputy Warehouse Supervisor Benson.
An Yi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Benson to know each other.
Several people walked to the warehouse, Benson asked:
How is Bill?
It is out of danger, and it will take about two or three months to recover. Sean said.
Benson asked curiously again: By the way, who did what Spain helped Cook with, do you know, many people are discussing that thing now, that person is really fierce, one person killed Cook and a group of people .
Sean glanced at An Yi quietly, and then said with a smile: I don't know about this, it may be done by the higher-ups.
Before Fred left, he told An Yi and others not to publicize his killing of Cook for the time being, mainly to protect An Yi's personal safety.
An Yi didn't want to be famous, and safety was the most important thing. Naturally, he agreed with Fred's arrangement. All Sean lied to Benson.
Entering the warehouse Sean took out the list and started stocking.
Wine, whisky, rum, vodka, brandy, tequila, fruit wine... Cigarettes include Marlboro, camel, three or five cigarettes, and various cigars.
Someone started to move goods into the car, Sean and Ryder were responsible for the inventory, and after everything was loaded into the car, Sean asked An Yi to sign the list.
An Yi took a look and found that the price reached more than 3,000 US dollars. You must know that in 1945, the monthly salary of an ordinary worker was only about 200 US dollars. These tobacco and alcohol are equivalent to an ordinary worker's salary for one and a half years.
That's just how much they're responsible for a day on the block.
After leaving the warehouse with Benson, An Yi asked Sean, Are these alcohol and tobacco authentic?
Of course, it's all good things. Sean said.
Then how do we make money and raise prices for pubs and nightclubs? An Yi asked in confusion.
Sean smiled,
Of course not, our tobacco and alcohol are even cheaper than the market price.
How do you make money then?
Tax smuggling and tax evasion, you don't know how high the federal government's tax rate on tobacco and alcohol is. It's 40 to 50 percent less, and it is even more than 100 percent high. If we go through the right channels, we won't make any money at all.
We evade taxes on domestic tobacco and alcohol. Foreign imported tobacco and alcohol are smuggled goods. Our gang has its own smuggling channels.
Even the tobacco and alcohol from other sites are purchased from us. Although the profits of tobacco and alcohol are not as good as those of the Prohibition period, smuggled goods are still profitable, and the more expensive they are, the more profitable they are.
In the previous world, An Yi was very interested in American gangster dramas and movies. He had watched almost all of them, and had also studied gangster culture for this reason. He knew that the rise of American gangsters could be said to have been brought about by the Prohibition Order.
During the Prohibition period, gangsters sold a large number of bootleg alcohol, obtained sufficient funds, and began to grow like crazy.
Later, the prohibition of alcohol was lifted, but the bootleg business was still an important economic income for the gangsters, but they changed from selling bootleg alcohol to smuggling and evading taxes.
Won't the State Taxation Bureau investigate? An Yi asked.
Of course we will investigate. The National Taxation Bureau is much more powerful than the FBI, so we have always been very covert. Besides, the senior management will come forward to deal with it. This is not something we care about. Sean said.
The car drove to the door of the nightclub.
It was the Bunny Girl Nightclub that Bill brought him on the first day. The manager came out and picked up the order. Soon all the goods were moved in. Both parties signed the bill, and the delivery was complete.
After unloading the tobacco and alcohol in the nightclub, and rushing to other bars for delivery, Sean kept the book and signed it comfortably. He was busy until 10 o'clock before all deliveries were finished.
Tom, let's go eat something? Sean said to An Yi.
They haven't had breakfast yet.
Okay, let's go eat.
