America's Big Hero

Immediately, an uncontrollable pleasure surged from the bottom of my heart, and forced restraint prevented myself from laughing out loud.
Although there was nothing he could do about Xiao En, he was still extremely excited to let the other party lose so much money.
I can't tell why, as soon as the subordinates left,
The smile on his face gradually twisted...
Chapter 193: Overlord Clause
Seagram Group headquarters in Montreal, Canada.
"Speak." Edgar Mills Bronfman, 55, sat on a large office chair and looked at the man in front of him.
(Old Bronfman's son is also named Edgar Bronfman, and is called Young Bronfman by the international community)
"The wine sold underground in New Jersey is definitely fake. The day before yesterday, Sean established a Sean Wine Company to formalize the company." George whispered.
George was sent by Seagram Liquor to New Jersey to investigate those wines. During the secret investigation stage, many people died under his command. After that, he ran back to New York and didn't dare to continue the investigation.
After the Elephant Party publicly investigated the smuggling of alcohol by the Jonas family, George immediately went through the relationship and paid close attention, and returned to Montreal as soon as he got the news.
"Hmph, that's true!" Old Bronfman snorted coldly with an ugly face.
The Bronfman family is the earliest Jewish Russians. E. Bronfman immigrated to Canada in 1889. Due to the explosive development of the smuggled alcohol market after the Prohibition of Alcohol in the United States, in 1924, E. Bronfman’s son Samuel Brown Fifman set up a brewing company in Montreal, connected with mafias across the United States, and began smuggling alcohol into the United States.
Later, holding a gun in one hand and wine in the other, the family assets began to grow explosively. In 1928, it annexed Ontario Seagrams and officially changed its name to become a legal company.
It cannot be said that Sean imitated the Bronfman family fortune...
I can only say the same thing!
Well, up front!
All are legitimate businessmen.
All have a bright future!
At present, under the leadership of Bronfman Sr., Seagram Wine Industry has become one of the largest wine industry groups in the world. Not only does it have its own brand, but the smuggling channels throughout the United States have transformed into the largest sales network in North America.
At the same time, due to historical reasons, the relationship with mafia families in various parts of North America has not been severed, and most of the mafia smuggled drinks in various places use Seagram's channel.
The smuggled wine evades a huge amount of tariffs, which itself has little effect on Seagram's interests.
But after Sean took control of New Jersey for a few months, the Seagram Group discovered that New Jersey had never taken any goods from them, and New Jersey had been smuggled alcohol.
"Chairman, do you still need to continue the investigation?" George asked after seeing that the old Bronfman had been silent for a long time.
"No need for now, go down." Old Bronfman put down the documents in his hand and said in a flat tone.
George retreated silently and closed the door. Old Bronfman looked at his son, "What do you think should be done?"
"Of course it's to find that guy's counterfeit factory, and then take him to court." Bronfman said angrily, "We absolutely can't just let it go. Huh, if we don't do anything, those guys will only think that we Brown The Fuman family is afraid, if everyone makes fake wine, it will definitely cause a devastating blow to the entire wine market."
"How to find his fake factory?"
"As long as you do it, you will leave traces. The people below are too incompetent." Bronfman curled his lips, "You can definitely ask from those gangs. If one or two can't do it, then find ten Twenty families, a group of gang members, can there be any people of high moral character, I heard that there are more than 200 gangs in New Jersey, so many, it is impossible for everyone to be willing to keep a secret, there must be someone who is willing to say."
"Gathering together the delivery information of multiple companies, we can naturally find out where the initial point is. As long as we are willing to spend money, we can definitely find it. If it is not convenient for us to do so, we can ask private investigators to investigate."
Although the little Bronfman is a little arrogant, but, as the third generation of the Bronfman family, his knowledge and level are really not bad.
Old Bronfman nodded. According to this method of investigation, it can indeed be found, but...
"There's no need to investigate. The factory is in Basek, and it's been demolished now. Sean is building a new factory in Newark."
"Remove, dismantle?" Little Bronfman opened his mouth in astonishment, his eyes widened, "No way, he didn't really give up counterfeiting and go for some self-owned brand, did he?"
If others don't know, how can he know how difficult it is to operate the wine industry despite its high profits?
There are so many wineries in Europe that have been passed down for more than 100 years. He is a layman, and now he wants to get involved in the red wine business. He is looking for death!
"impossible!"
"After eating big fish and big meat, no one can starve without taking the meat at hand!" Little Bronfman shook his head like a rattle.
He didn't believe that Sean could stand the temptation and suffering if he put tens of millions in a year and didn't pick it up. He worked hard to create a brand that he didn't know if he could succeed.
Historical experience told him that it is impossible for normal people to endure it.
"I don't know if he can bear it..." Old Bronfman squinted his eyes and shook his head. During the period of Prohibition, the Seagram Liquor Industry was growing at a jaw-dropping speed. After the Prohibition was lifted, ten times the effort They couldn't make as much money as before, and the Bronfman family was very uncomfortable.
It was an extremely difficult time.
"Then what should we do now, just let him go?" Little Bronfman asked with an ugly face.
"It's not that easy to move him." Old Bronfman shook his head. "Don't talk about his influence in New Jersey, just talk about Rockefeller's background. As long as he doesn't do it now, there is nothing to do."
"Damn it, shameless thief, robber, Rockefeller has really fallen, huh!" Little Bronfman gritted his teeth and cursed for a while.
He completely forgot that his family was developed in this way.
What?Seagram involved in smuggling?
We just sold the wine, and how those people operate after that has nothing to do with me, Seagram!
People are always forgetful.
……
Xiao En's Wine was established and operated quietly without causing any disturbance.
At least, in New Jersey high society, Sean and the Elephant's retaliation for each other is well known.
Until now, the secrets of why Sean made a fortune so quickly in the early days were revealed.
It turned out that they were making 'fake wine', and the profits were horrifying.
While envious and jealous that it was so easy for Sean to make a fortune, most people also lamented that Sean was "willing to".
It is really beyond the reach of ordinary people to decisively cut off tens of millions of profits a year and start a "regular winery".
That is tens of millions a year, a wealth that no number of families can earn for generations.
Yes, in the eyes of everyone, the "Xiao En Winery" that is still under construction is a "regular winery". After all, it is openly blended, sold publicly, has a regular brand, and pays taxes legally. Why is it not a regular winery.
Although those speakeasies still get goods from Sean, go back and exchange and fill them into the original bottles to become 'fake wine' again, but the illegal behavior has changed from Sean to those gangs, and if there is any problem, they will not be able to find it anyway. It's over to Sean.
Of course, the loss is indeed huge.
And as the news slowly spread, the sales of these 'medium-to-high-end' alcoholic beverages will inevitably be greatly affected.
However, Sean is not worried about this.
After the public sale, some people in other states will also buy these "brand wines" back, bottle them for sale, and the sales volume may not decrease.
Although the price is not lower than that of smuggling, it is better than safety.
It's too scattered to check.
State court, today is the time for the Santos case to be heard.
The court was full of people, and there were no reporters. They were all prominent figures from the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party.
The elephant party is here to give Santos a platform, and the donkey party is here to watch the excitement.
There is no such thing as rabbit death and fox sadness. Sean is also a member of high society, and he is still a top existence.
As long as it is not overthrown by the "mud legs", it is nothing, it is an internal struggle.
"The court pronounced that Santos... was found guilty of a crime and sentenced to 12 years in prison." The judge announced the verdict with a serious face.
When the verdict was announced, Santos broke down emotionally on the spot, turned his body around and stared at Sean and roared loudly, grabbing the railing and was about to rush out, "Sean, Sean, you murderer, devil, you It's... woo woo woo."
Santos' loud roar shocked several court policemen, and immediately rushed up to hug Santos, and covered Santos' mouth with one hand.
Everyone was silent, the elephant party members were sullen, and the donkey party members gloated at their misfortune. Even the judge standing above watched the scene quietly.
Everyone wanted to see what Sean would do.
"Don't stop him!" Sean sat on the spot, smiled and raised his hand and waved to the two court police officers, "Let him go, let him say that America is a free country, and he has the right to speak."
"Bah!" Santos spat heavily, his old face flushed, "Stop pretending!"
"Who doesn't know that you are the biggest mafia boss in New Jersey, the biggest cancer in New Jersey, you are a vampire, you will definitely go to hell!"
"Go to hell!!!"
"Hehe, then what?" Sean looked around at everyone present, with a faint smile still on his face, "In my eyes, you are nothing more than the barking of a defeated dog."
"what sense?"
"If I want to sue you, you are now roaring the court, slandering, and getting your sentence longer."
"However." Sean smiled and patted his chest, "As we all know, I am a good person, I am a magnanimous person, I will not pursue it, after all, who knows if you can live for 12 years."
"Of course, I hope you can live, always live!"
"Don't worry, I will let someone take good care of you."
"Did you see, did you see, he's threatening me, judge, he's threatening me!" Santos pointed at Sean with one hand and looked at the judge and shouted.
"Mr. Sean, what do you have to say?" The judge looked at Sean expressionlessly.
"Evil people have disgusting and smelly thoughts in their minds. In their eyes, the whole world is dark, without any light, and they can find dark and despicable places in everything." Sean slowly stood up. Come on, Wei Wei bowed to the judge and said: "In Santos' eyes, the world is like this, everyone wants to harm him."
"And what I want to tell you is that you think too much."
"I will take good care of you, give you the best accommodation, the best food, and the best medical care, so that you can live healthily."
As he said, Sean showed his big white teeth, "After all, you can only see it if you are alive."
"How good my local life is!"
"And you can only look at the outside world through the iron window in that cold and narrow room."
"Even if you fall ill, I will send you to the best hospital and invite the best doctor to put tubes in your body, and the medical equipment next to you is running to ensure the vital signs of Santos."
"There will be someone next to you reading the newspaper with a smile every day, which is full of various reports about me."
"And you, you can only lie on the warm hospital bed and listen quietly, you can't do anything!"
hiss……
There was a gasp in the courtroom.
The temperature in the entire court dropped a bit, and it was gloomy.
Everyone's eyes on Sean changed, this guy...
So vicious!
His words will definitely be deeply imprinted in Santos' mind, and every day Santos is alive in the future, he will be tortured by these words.
Tormenting his spirit, torturing his soul, the pain is too painful.
Everyone seemed to have the image of the scene more than ten years later in their minds.
So vicious!
"I firmly believe that there will be such a day!"
"You, you, you..." Santos' face was pale, his lips were trembling, his body was like sifting chaff, and fear completely filled his heart.
Until Santos, who was in a daze like a walking dead, was taken away from the court by the bailiff, the voice sounded again in the court.
The Elephants went away under the leadership of Brewster Jesse, and no one could tell what it was like.
Sean was forced by them to abandon the 'fake wine' business and lost tens of millions of income a year, but he also gave everyone a warning with the help of Santos.
I, Sean, here I come!
They seem to have won the Xiang Party, but they also offended Sean. New Jersey is already the donkey party's vote base, and the advantage will be even greater in the future.
Whether it is a loss or a gain, no one can tell.
However, Sean is not in the mood to pay attention to this right now.
Negotiations with the state government on the takeover of prisons are about to begin.
He still needs to raise money.
Fortunately, Sean now has his own bank, so getting a loan should not be too easy.
"25 companies, you can only buy so many!"
In the meeting room of the state government office building, Sean sat at one end of the conference table, and Governor Benny sat at the other end. On one side were the governor's team, and on the other side were members of the Donkey Party and Elephant Party.
