Chapter 8: : Bootleg business

"What are you going to do?" Wes asked, looking at Dani.

"Squeeze!"

"First squeeze the Jewish gang's business, including their nightclubs, bars, underground casinos, as well as the loan shark business, smuggling business, consume their strength, and finally strike out in one fell swoop, completely wiped out." Dany said.

"Have you thought about the Jewish guy's counterattack?" Weiss asked.

Dani smiled slightly,

"In the beginning, we don't have to be so blatant, just come a little bit, find someone to smash their nightclubs, bars."

"Robbery of wine trucks, or even robbing of casinos, you can also use customs to disrupt the smuggling business of the Jewish gang. If these methods are used, I believe those Jewish men will be burnt."

"Although the brown bear is very large and ferocious, if its body becomes riddled with holes, it will not be so ferocious. You say yes, Hymi."

Weiss took a sip of the whiskey on the table, pondered for a while, with a smile on his face when he raised his head.

"Dani, I think your plan is good, and I agree to cooperate with you." He stretched out his hand to Dani.

Seeing Wes's promise, Dani was very happy, the most important step of the plan has been taken, and he seemed to see victory beckoning him.

shook hands with Weiss.

The two reached an agreement.

formed a temporary alliance to deal with the Jewish gang together.

Dani left with the military division, his deputy, Bougus Moran, looked at Weiss and asked, "Hami, do you believe him?"

Hemiwes chuckled and spit out a cigar.

"How could I believe him, Dani has never been a man of love and righteousness, and revenge for his men is all bullshit."

"As for the business and the site, it is indeed possible, but he does not have such a big appetite. He came to us. The biggest possibility is to provoke us to fight against the Jewish gang. In the end, when both parties are exhausted, he will sit back. Profit, take the opportunity to grow bigger."

"Then you promised to form an alliance with him?" Moran asked slightly surprised.

Hemiwes spread his hands, "It's just calculating each other. We and the Jews are always enemies. Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity to make a fuss, maybe you can see the benefits."

"Dani wants to use us, why am I using him, haha."

Bugs Moran also laughed with Hemi, raised his glass and touched Wes, and the two took a happily sip.

Work hard in the underworld,

No one is a fool,

The mind is not worse than those politicians, otherwise it would not be able to survive.

Dani has his own purpose,

Why doesn't Wes have his own ideas.

It just depends on who performs better.

......

in the car.

Dani smiled and said to the sergeant Burstein, "You see, the Irish are not difficult to deal with. They have always hated the Jews, and they will never let it go as long as they have the opportunity. Burstein, how are the other gangs contacting?"

"The Mexican side has already made contact. I will meet the Mexican boss tomorrow. The Chinese people may be later. Their boss has gone to San Francisco and will not be back in a few days."

"As for the Russians and the Poles, you don't need to come forward. I can talk to them. I want to give some small profits, and 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.

Anyi officially went to work.

Sean and Ryder drove over to pick him up. They drove for half an hour to the slum area and stopped in front of a large iron gate. Sean honked his horn.

The door opened a small hole. Someone looked out, and Xiao En waved at the person, and then the door opened.

The car drove in and parked in the yard, which was a row of warehouses.

Xiao En smiled and said to An Yi: "Tom, this is the gang warehouse, and all tobacco and alcohol are stored here."

"We are in charge of the block, there are a total of seven pubs and two nightclubs. We get the invoices every evening. The next morning we come here to pick up the goods and distribute the tobacco and alcohol. The pubs settle with us once a week, and we also pay every Monday. Account."

A strong man came over, greeted Sean and Ryder, and then looked at ease. Sean said with a smile: "This is Tom Hardy, the brother of Bill's boss. From now on he will be responsible for our affairs."

"Tom, this is Benson, the deputy head of the warehouse."

Anyi stretched out his hand and shook hands with Benson to get to know each other.

A few people walked to the warehouse, Benson asked:

"How is Bill?"

"I have been out of danger, it will take about two or three months to recover." Xiao En said.

Benson asked curiously again: "By the way, who did Spain help Cook? Do you know? Many people are discussing that matter now. That person is really fierce. One person kills Cook and a group of people. ."

Xiao En glanced at An Yi quietly, then smiled and said: "I don't know this, it may be done by a high-level person."

Before Fred left, he told An Yi and others that the murder of Cook should not be publicized for the time being, mainly to protect An Yi’s personal safety.

Ease doesn’t want to be famous, but safety is the most important thing. Naturally, he agrees with Fred’s arrangement. All Sean lied to Benson.

Entering the warehouse, Sean took out the list and started stocking.

Wine, whiskey, rum, vodka, brandy, tequila, fruit wine... Cigarettes include Marlboro, camel, 35 cigarettes, and various cigars.

Someone started to move goods into the car. Sean and Ryder were responsible for the inventory. After everything was loaded into the car, Sean asked An Yi to sign the bill.

An Yi looked at it and found that the price actually reached more than three thousand U.S. dollars. In 1945, the monthly salary of an ordinary worker was only about two hundred dollars. These cigarettes and alcohol are equivalent to the salary of an ordinary worker for one and a half years.

This is just the amount they are responsible for the block for a day.

Farewell and Benson drove out of the warehouse, An Yi asked Xiao En, "Are these alcohol and tobacco products genuine?"

"Of course, they are all good things." Sean said.

"Then how do we make money, and raise prices for pubs and nightclubs?" An Yi asked inexplicably.

Sean smiled,

"Of course not, our tobacco and alcohol are even cheaper than market prices."

"What do you rely on to make money?"

"Smuggling tax evasion, UU reading , you don’t know how high the federal government’s tax rate on tobacco and alcohol is. It is 40% to 50% lower, and even higher than 100%. If we go through the proper channels, we won’t make any money at all. money."

"We evade taxes on domestic tobacco and alcohol. Foreign imported tobacco and alcohol are all 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 during the prohibition period, smuggled goods still make money, and the more expensive the more profitable."

An Yi was very interested in gangster American movies in the previous world. He had watched almost all the movies. For this reason, he had also studied gangster culture. He knew that the rise of American gangsters was caused by Prohibition.

During the Prohibition Period, the gang sold a lot of bootleg alcohol, obtained sufficient funds, and began to grow wildly.

Later the prohibition on alcohol was lifted, but the bootleg business is still an important economic income of the gang, but they have turned from bootlegging to smuggling tax evasion.

"Will the State Administration of Taxation not pursue it?" An Yi asked.

"Of course it will be investigated. The Internal Revenue Service is much more powerful than the FBI, so we have been doing it very concealedly. Besides, the top management will come forward to take care of it. This is not something we care about." Xiao En said.

The car drove to the door of the nightclub.

is the "Bunny Girl Nightclub" that Bill brought him on the first day. The manager came out, picked up the order, and soon all the goods were moved in. The two parties signed the documents and the delivery was completed.

Unloaded cigarettes and alcohol in the nightclub, and rushed to other bars to deliver. Sean kept the account and signed it, and he was busy until 10 o'clock to deliver them all.

"Tom, let's have something to eat?" Sean said to An Yi.

They haven't eaten breakfast yet.

"Okay, go eat."
