Chapter 0014: Welcome to Atlantic City
"Well, a very philosophical word. Nuki took a sip from his glass, "Lee, what do you think of this bottle of wine?"
"It's good, because it makes me feel like I'm seeing the great Franklin. Li Zitao raised his hands exaggeratedly and said, with excitement in his eyes.
"Yes, these wines are just as great as Franklin, especially now. Nuki stood up as he spoke, and said with a nonchalant face, "But again, great things always have to pay a price, and Capone can't see this, it's a pity." ”
"Capone isn't a problem, what about Luciano?" "The current Luciano should have killed Marcelia, is planning to kill Maranzano, and then will take over the original power of the two godfathers, with his unique personality charm and determination, he will become the godfather.
As the prototype of the old godfather of the godfathers, Luciano is equally personable, decisive, and good at using his brain rather than his hands.
When he completely took over the power of the two original godfathers, his power swelled so fast that it was enough to make people's jaws drop, and his methods were even more clever.
Turning right and left, using language art to resolve disputes, and firmly establishing the mafia's prosperity for the next 50 years are enough to show how smart he is.
Of course, Charlie Luciano also doesn't mind using violence when the need arises, just as he did when he killed Marcelia and Maranzano.
"He's going to be a nuisance, but it's not time yet. Taking out the golden cigarette box from his pocket, Nuki took out a cigarette and handed it to Li Zitao, but he smiled and waved his hand to refuse.
At this time, the United States added some opium to wine and cigarettes, which was like adding some seasoning to them.
Although Nuki never touches these things in the movie, he can't guarantee that the reality is the same, knowing that he is not living in the movie now.
"If you're in charge of Chicago, we'll have a great time working together!" said Nuki, lighting a cigarette and looking into the distance through the fence.
Nuki's life was not easy, the rise of Charlie Luciano, Capone's loss of control, and the fact that his political allies were in trouble and could not help him were not in his plans.
Especially Charlie Luciano, Nuki can feel that Maranzano's containment of him is getting weaker and weaker, and the situation is gradually getting out of control.
Now that Charlie Luciano is gradually taking over the Marcelia Syndicate and the men he left behind, Nuki must admit that drug trafficking is faster than alcohol trafficking.
"What can I get?" mastered Chicago, which did not need to be reminded by him, and what Li Zitao needed to hear now was what he could get from him.
"$100,000, and you're welcome to Atlantic City. Nuki picked at his fingers as he cupped his glass, his smile showing his pride.
"It's not just Atlantic City that has wine. Li Zitao shook the whiskey in his hand, unscrewed the lid and added a little more to him.
"Yes, but the wine from the North, the Midwest, the Mid-East, comes from Atlantic City. Nuki said this with great calm, because this was the empire he had built single-handedly.
Although there is a slight problem with his empire, in Nuki's opinion, he only needs to find the foundation of the solid empire again, and then everything will be back on track.
Li, this Asian who suddenly appeared, is the new cornerstone he found.
Otherwise, how could he have run here from Atlantic City in person, just to meet a thug who was just starting out? Of course, I have to admit that he didn't kill any simple people.
Frank, the economic head of the Capone Group, without him, the finances of the entire Capone Group are in shambles, and it is not so simple for others to take over.
Who doesn't want to do a good thing in charge of the money bag, Capone is not there, the dragons are leaderless, and whoever wants to replace Frank can't convince the public.
McGunn, Capone's professional killer, is his most trusted and sharpest knife.
With these two men gone, and Capone not being able to return in person, Nuki has seen the decay of the Capone group.
As for the backbone hiding in Cicero, by the time all the territory in Chicago was lost, they had no attraction or value.
"200,000, a piece of advice for you. Li Zitao said to Nuki's puzzled eyes: "In the future, if you feel that it is not worth it, you can find me at any time." ”
"Tell me about it. Nuki said.
"Don't give Luciano a chance, let Maranzano be careful to assassinate. Li Zitao smiled incomprehensibly, and regardless of whether Nuki believed it or not, he changed the topic and chatted casually.
For him now, the more turbid the water is, the better it is for him, and he doesn't even have the qualifications to intervene in the affairs of those big people in New York now, let alone meddle.
But he doesn't want these big people to shift their attention to himself, a little shrimp who has just emerged, which will make him very passive.
If it wasn't Nuki who came this time, Li Zitao wouldn't even see him.
Not only because of his tragic fate in the film Atlantic Empire, Li Zitao felt sympathy, but also because he was a person who spoke of rules.
Nuki is more concerned about politics and money, there will be no conflicts between them because of turf, and his political capital can also bring a lot of convenience to Li Zitao.
But in a few years, his political capital will disappear completely, and he will die, go to prison, or he will leave the scene.
By that time, Li Zitao believed that he had grown up to no longer need to rely on others, and Nuki should perhaps retire with dignity and live a peaceful and prosperous life.
"It's yours. A check for $200,000, plus a business card, was left by Nuki before he left.
There is also a sentence, "I'll have a banquet next month, and I hope to see you at the banquet then." ”
If you want to appear at the reception, of course, you need to reflect the value and the corresponding identity, and the king behind the scenes of the underground mayor of Chicago seems to be very good.
"William, we need to talk. Li Zitao dialed William Dever's number.
......
That night, a car stopped on the side of the road in District 22, Li Zitao, wearing a windbreaker and top hat, got in, walked out of the car 10 minutes later, and slowly left.
In 10 minutes, Li Zitao got the answer he wanted, Nuki didn't want Capone to appear again, he was too crazy and swaggering, and he would get into big trouble one day.
Nuki didn't want to be implicated one day, and the honeymoon period between them was over forever long after Capone became the king of Chicago.
As for the list given to him before, Frank and McGown were also instructed by Nuki, and William Dev was Nuki's man from the beginning.
"Hehe, what a surprise. "How can a person who can take charge of Y County, form a network of liquor sellers all over the country during Prohibition, and befriend many mayors and councillors, because a nephew obediently sent his empire.
"Sure enough, the movies are all lies. Shaking his head with emotion again, Li Zitao looked down at his hand, the number he just got was the key to whether he could go to the Nuki cocktail party next month.
The 22nd district is still as calm as usual, and the hard-working Chinese people get up early, eat some breakfast briefly, and go out to start a new day.
When the workers are out, the 22nd arrondissement becomes even calmer, and there is not even half a figure in the streets and alleys, and if you pass by here during the day, you will definitely think that this is a desolate neighborhood where no one lives.
But at noon, the noise of the street corner broke the silence, and a group of black men with dreadlocks, cheap suits, and baseball bats, iron bars, and axes appeared on the corner.
Bang bang bang bang ......
Whenever they passed by, they would bang on the fence or wall with their weapons and shout, "Get out of here, get out, your Uncle Satsuma is coming......"
In the relatively clean room, Bergman looked through the window at the black people passing by, showing off their might, and asked with some concern, "Is it really okay?"
"Aren't you leaving?" Li Zitao asked lying on the bed, looking at her in some surprise.
This woman was so strange, she had always said she was leaving, but now that he had killed McGunn and told her that she could leave at any time, she was not in a hurry.
"I'll leave tomorrow. Seeing that Li Zitao just nodded indifferently, Bergman couldn't help but be secretly annoyed, 'Is this guy a wood?'
She admits that she has a crush on him and wants to be closer to him, but Li Zitao is like a wood, and he doesn't react to her hints at all.
If Bergman knew what a fat house was, she would probably understand why Li Zitao didn't react.
Because he doesn't understand those hints at all, even if he thinks of them by chance, he will subconsciously think, 'I must be thinking too much, how is it possible!'
However, Li Zitao is also thinking about whether to find a bed warmer in the past few days, but where should this candidate go, he still has a headache.
Forget it!
He didn't want to get syphilis or something like that one day, the current medical care is not so developed, and the private life of the dancer is even more overflowing, and he feels scared when he thinks about it.
There are so many undiscovered goddesses, waiting for him to taste them slowly, how could Li Zitao bury his sexual blessings in the hands of the dancing girl.
He also wants to be Audrey Hepburn's godfather after seventeen or eighteen years and have a close relationship with her!
As for the godfather, forget it, if he dares to have an intimate relationship with his goddaughter as a godfather, Li Zitao can think about how miserable he will die!
In the United States, from the slum communities to the upper class, to the well-educated and wealthy families, to the government, there were Catholics and Puritans.
Godfather, godson, and goddaughter are not just a formal title, just like the master and apprentice, father-in-law and son in ancient China.
Don't mess with anyone, especially Catholics and Puritans, because their influence in America and the world is growing.
In my previous life, among the many bigwigs and dignitaries abroad, how many of them were not believers?
The church has even become a high-end way and place to socialize, which has to be said to be very strange!
If he really became Hepburn's godfather, Li Zitao could only cry and watch this little sheep being ravaged by other beasts, and it may be that he personally sent it out.
Thinking of this, Li Zitao wanted to cry out 'wow'.
