"Your boss?"
Hardy asked in surprise.
"Yes, the true boss of the Jewish Gang, the master of the Los Angeles underground world, one of the founders of the Mafia, Mr. Benjamin Siegel, my boss."
Fred said Siegel’s name with respect.
When the Mafia came to Los Angeles to start a business, Fred was one of Siegel’s capable men. After the Jewish gang gained a firm foothold in Los Angeles, Siegel retired behind the scenes, and Fred became the obvious boss of the Jewish gang. .
"Benjamin Segal".
Hearing this name, Hardy suddenly remembered a movie he had seen before, "A Generation of Lovers Bis", also called "Love in the World".
This movie is also a well-known gangster movie, telling the story of Benjamin Siegel’s investment and construction of Las Vegas.
Siegel was originally one of the mafia bosses and the head of the mafia killer group. In the 1940s, the organization sent him to Los Angeles to open up territory.
Siegel used Thunder to clean up other gangs in Los Angeles and set up gangs. The Jewish gang became the biggest power in Los Angeles in a short time.
However, after establishing the gang, he did not stand in the front, but launched Fred to manage the gang. He bought a movie company and became a Hollywood celebrity. Stars become friends.
Siegel is a romantic guy who has relationships with many actresses, female stars and socialites. Later, he met Virginia Hill, a beautiful woman and an unknown little Hollywood actor. Siegel fell madly in love. she was.
When building the Las Vegas casino, he even appointed Virginia Hill to manage the finances. In the end, the casino failed, Siegel was killed, and Virginia Hill also committed suicide by swallowing a gun.
This is also the reason why the film was named Bisi, a lover of the generation.
When Hardy was thinking about it, the car came to a luxurious manor in Beverly Hills, the door opened and drove into the garden, and finally stopped in front of a three-story villa.
The butler led Fred and Hardy to a luxurious office and met Benjamin Siegel.
"Fred, come and sit down." Benjamin smiled, then looked at Hardy, "Is this Hardy you said on the phone?"
"Yes Mr. Siegel, this is Hardy."
"Mr. Siegel!" Hardy said respectfully.
Siegel smiled and nodded, "It's a very strong young man, come and sit together." He picked up the whiskey on the table and poured a glass for each of them.
Siegel is handsome, with blue eyes, and looks polite, but Hardy knows that Siegel is a real murderous guy, even a somewhat crazy guy, who planned to assassinate Mussolini.
Siegel was very interested in Hardy. He saw all of Hardy's actions on the day of the robbery. He admired the little guy's ability to do things.
is simple and neat, strong in field control, and high-quality subordinates. They are definitely talents who do great things.
"You know what, I was at the Spaniard's casino yesterday." Siegel said.
Hardy was slightly shocked.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Siegel, for interrupting your interest." Hardy said.
Siegel laughed, "I don't care, but Virginia was taken aback. After I came back, I calmed her for half a night."
"I can see all your actions yesterday. They are fast, accurate and efficient. The quality of your subordinates is high. They did not kill innocents but shocked the audience. It can be said to be the most perfect robbery I have ever seen. Your subordinates are all who?"
"All my comrades in arms."
"After conflicts with other gangs, it became more and more dangerous. I felt that I was understaffed, so I contacted my comrades in arms, who are all brothers of the Marine Corps." Hardy said.
No wonder,
After the brutal war just now, all the elites survived.
And this Hardy is very smart. He just clashed with other gangs and knew he would take the initiative to increase his combat effectiveness.
"How much money did you rob?" Siegel asked again.
"210,000 US dollars." Hardy said.
"Oh, it's a lot."
Fred looked at Siegel, "Boss, the gang share should be 63,000. This money has not been credited to the account, and no one else knows. How do you handle it?"
Siegel called Hardy to come over with the money, Fred already had guesses in his heart, so he asked.
"Stay with me, I have a relatively large funding gap now, so don't let other people know about this money." Siegel said bluntly.
"Good boss," Fred said.
"By the way, how is the investigation about the wine?" Siegel asked.
Fred paused slightly, "No idea yet."
Siegel's face became heavy, "I found a friend to clarify the relationship with the customs. The best result is to pay taxes and turn those wines into legal imported goods. Taxes need to be paid for 200,000 yuan. 250,000, do you think we want this batch of goods or not?"
Siegel said displeasedly.
Fred lowered his head.
Speaking of this matter is his responsibility.
As for whether this batch of goods is still needed, he hesitated for a while.
The tax is so high, and the price of gang delivery is generally cheaper than that of regular import channels. Even if this batch of goods is returned, there will be no money inside and outside. Counting the gang share of 15%, the result may be some losses.
How to do a loss-making business.
Siegel was a little disappointed with Fred's hesitation. Fred is an obedient guy. He was originally selected as the head of Los Angeles because of this. However, Fred's development ability and determination are obviously insufficient.
When he handed over Los Angeles to him, the Jewish gang was of this size, and it has remained the same in the past few years, with no major development.
turned to look at Hardy.
"Hadi, if you encounter such a thing, how would you solve it?" Siegel looked at Hardy and asked.
Hardy thought for a while.
"I would not choose to pay taxes. I was seized by the customs. It can be regarded as a failure of this business. If I pay taxes and get the goods back, not only will it not make money, but a lot of time will be wasted.
"But there is another way. If there is a chance, maybe we can get those goods out."
"Oh, how do you get it out?" Siegel became interested.
Fred also looked at Hardy.
"The customs warehouse is not too tight. We can steal that batch of wine. A $250,000 business is definitely worth the ticket."
Siegel shook his head.
"Many people know that the goods are from the Jewish gang. If they are robbed, everyone will guess that we did it. I have already looked for someone before. If I do it again, both sides will not look good."
Siegel rejected Hardy's approach.
Hardy thought for a while and wanted to continue:
"There is also a safer way to exchange goods, get a batch of empty wine bottles, fill them with worthless and inferior red wine, UU read and pack the boxes, and then buy the customs officials and put the two batches. Change the goods."
"In customs procedures, only a batch of smuggled red wine was seized, but it didn't say whether it was true or false. Even if it is found, they are not responsible."
Siegel's eyes lit up.
He thinks Hardy’s proposal is indeed a very good way. The batch of red wines seized are all top French red wines, and the price of each bottle is tens or even hundreds of dollars. The price of inferior red wine is even tens of cents. , The value comparison is negligible.
As for the clearance of customs personnel to operate this matter, Siegel is also sure, and it is enough to give the customs director a sum of money.
Siegel smiled and looked at Hardy.
"You have a very good idea, Fred, you should have the receipts for that batch of goods. Prepare the fake wine according to the receipts. I will contact the Los Angeles Customs. This matter should be possible. If it is done, we can get it back. Most of the loss."
After Siegel looked at Hardy, his eyes became more admiring. This young man is not only strong in combat, but also very flexible in mind.
is a rare talent.
"Hadi, are you interested in movies?" Siegel asked suddenly.
Hardy didn't expect Siegel's topic to change so much, he almost didn't react.
"Movies? I like them very much."
Siegel smiled.
"Tomorrow night, there will be a party in my estate. At that time, there will be many film company owners, agents, celebrities, and some upper-class people. You can come and play."
"By the way, if you have a female partner, you can bring it."
Hardy said heartily,
Is this a reward for yourself?
still has another profound meaning.
