"Albert, we haven't seen each other in five or six years, have we?"

Bai Zhentian looked at Albert with a smile and said, "You have a good complexion, it seems that the air in Sicily is very good, and it is very suitable for people to live in......"

Bai Zhentian knows that in recent years, the power of the Luciano mafia family has been in the hands of Alisandro, as Alisandro's father, Albert lives in his hometown of Sicily in Italy for eight months of the year.

A trace of unhappiness flashed in Albert's eyes, but he was very haode was covered up by him, and said with a smile: "The air there is indeed good, white, I will invite you to be a guest when I have time!" ”

There is a proverb in Western countries that roughly means that rights are more addictive than drugs.

Albert is like this, after being in charge of the family for decades, he was usurped by his son and seized power, and returning to Sicily was not Albert's junior high school, so after hearing Bai Zhentian's words, the godfather of the mafia was naturally unhappy.

"Okay, I'll go when I have time!"

Bai Zhentian became hahadaxiao when he heard this, and the reason why he said such things was actually to remind Albert that the current Luciano family was different from before.

"Bai, come and try our Italian specialties, it's not that you have Chinese food!"

Albert has been at the helm of the Luciano family for so many years, and naturally it is not easy for him to see that the kitchen is starting to serve, and he immediately said: "This red braised beef stewed with red lantern peppers is a Milanese specialty, and there are sausages, which taste very good." ”

"I said old friend, you're too stingy, aren't you?"

Seeing the beef sausage and pasta on the table, Bai Zhentian said dissatisfiedly: "Truffles are produced in Italy, I said that you don't serve a little, it's better to have a restaurant in this MGM Hotel." ”

Yesterday, he was stabbed by Qin Feng, and Bai Zhentian was unhappy in his heart. Seeing that it was all ordinary Italian food, he was immediately dissatisfied.

"Bai, I came in a hurry, I don't know if there are any ingredients here?"

Albert smiled bitterly, he had long known that Bai Zhentian of Hongmen was very difficult to deal with, and now he saw it. Sure enough, it is worthy of its reputation, and they are so picky about this food.

In order to show his sincerity, Albert beckoned the waiter and asked in front of Bai Zhentian, but unfortunately, there were no expensive truffles here.

"Old friend, I really can't help it."

Albert spread his hands and said, "Well, when I get back." Let me send you a pound of truffles, and they are all top-quality white truffles, what do you think? ”

"A pound?" Bai Zhentian shouted exaggeratedly: "Albert, with our friendship, we have to send at least five catties, right?" ”

"Five pounds? White, do you think truffles are Chinese cabbage sold in the market? After hearing Bai Zhentian's words, Albert's eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't wait to strangle Bai Zhentian in front of him.

To know. Truffles are worth more than gold, and a pound of truffles costs tens of thousands of dollars. Didn't expect this greedy Chinese to be not satisfied?

"Okay, then give me two pounds!"

Bai Zhentian took a step back and muttered, "I'll eat whatever you want today, Albert, when you come to San Francisco another day, I'll treat you to Chinese food......

He said he could eat whatever he wanted. Bai Zhentian's movements in his hands were not slow at all, and he took the knife and fork and dialed half of the red stewed beef in front of him into his bowl.

As for the other half of the plate, it has already been eaten up by Qin Feng, if Bai Zhentian is a little slower, I am afraid that even this small half of the plate will be gone.

"Hey. I said, brother, are you hungry like this? Didn't I just invite you to a big dinner yesterday? Regarding Qin Feng's muffled behavior of bowing his head and eating wildly, Bai Zhentian expressed great dissatisfaction.

"Hmm, hungry!"

Qin Feng's mouth was stuffed with food at this time, where was the kung fu and Bai Zhentian's nonsense? After looking up and replying, he reached out and stuffed another sausage into his mouth, seeing that the plate of sausages was almost finished by him.

"Hey, I said you left me two!" Seeing that the sausage was about to be gone, Bai Zhentian stretched out his fork and forked it to the plate, and the old and the young actually fought for food on the table.

"This ...... What's going on? Could it be that the people of Hongmen are not full of food? ”

Qin Feng and Bai Zhentian's actions made Albert and Alfonso father and son stunned, and before they could come to their senses, the table of dishes had been swept away by the two of them.

"Well, old friend, I'm so hungry, you see, this dish is gone."

Picking up the napkin and wiping his mouth elegantly, Bai Zhentian looked at Albert, as if the person he had gobbled up just now was not himself at all.

"No...... It doesn't matter, I ...... I've got the kitchen up again! Albert came back to his senses and stammered.

"Well, let them have a little more, we haven't eaten yet!" Qin Feng took a toothpick and said while picking his teeth, looking like a little hooligan on the street.

"Alfonso, let them serve another table of dishes for six people......" Albert glanced at Bai Zhentian, saw that he also nodded, and asked his son to inform the kitchen.

At this time, Bai Zhentian had already eaten eighty percent full, and after picking up the tea set in front of him and pouring a cup of tea for a few people, he said: "Old friend, I am going to participate in a gambling game of an Arab prince recently, I don't know if you are interested?" ”

"Gamble? White, you know I've never gambled. ”

Albert shook his head, facing Bai Zhentian, his patience was almost exhausted, the current New York mafia is at the time of life and death, where does he have the kung fu to gamble with Bai Zhentian?

"That's a pity, old friend, the people who participated in the gambling game were all big shots......" Bai Zhentian made a regretful expression on his face, as if he wanted to persuade Albert again.

"Alright, Bai, let's get down to business."

Albert finally couldn't stand Bai Zhentian's nonsense, and said: "Bai, what I mean by inviting you here, I believe you have guessed a little, right?" ”

"What do you mean by inviting me?"

Bai Zhentian seemed to be stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said with a confused expression: "Old friend, didn't you call me this time because we haven't seen each other for many years, do you miss me?" What else does it mean besides this? ”

"I ...... I'm trying to kill you! ”

After hearing Bai Zhentian's words. Albert squirted out the cup of tea he had just drunk in his mouth, he had no friendship with Bai Zhentian, and he hadn't been in touch for five or six years, and he hadn't even made a phone call.

And even if Albert has a relationship with Bai Zhentian, he also likes women, otherwise he would not have a Russian mistress. Shoot Alisandro's rebel son.

"Old friend, I'm glad to see you!"

Seeing Albert's flushed face, Bai Zhentian poured him another cup of tea and said, "Don't get excited, we are all old, and we will have time to sit together and drink tea and chat in the future!" ”

"Shall I talk about your sister?"

Albert was so depressed that he almost didn't vomit blood, he has always been known for his hot hands and black belly in the mafia family, but he didn't expect to meet a more shameless guy today.

Taking a deep breath, Albert calmed down. said: "Okay, Bai, you know what I am looking for you. ”

"What's the matter? If you don't say, how will I know? ”

Bai Zhentian's smiling look couldn't even look at Qin Feng, this old guy was so capable of pretending, he reached out to others to ask for benefits, and he had to beg others to say it.

"White, what's happened recently. You know that, right? Albert understood that the other party was pretending to be deaf and dumb, so he simply asked.

"What's going on recently? Oh. I know. ”

Bai Zhentian made a look of sudden realization and said, "Old friend, you mean the recent war with Yamaguchi, right?" ”

Seeing Albert's head, Bai Zhentian continued: "I have long seen that those Japanese are not pleasing to the eye, and it is a shame that you Italians have formed an alliance with them......

That Mussolini back then was purely a bad brain, how can you say that he can form an alliance with the Japanese? Zuihou has suffered a big loss, right? ”

"Stop. Stop! ”

Hearing that Bai Zhentian had brought the topic to World War II, Albert's brain was suddenly bruised, he would really suspect that Bai Zhentian had a problem with his IQ, and he could deviate from the topic in less than three sentences.

"White, I'm looking for you this time. I want to cooperate with you. ”

Seeing that Bai Zhentian was so difficult, Albert couldn't care so much, and said straight to the point: "You also know that this incident has caused us a lot of losses, and I have lost a son because of this, Bai, I need your friendship......"

"My friendship? Don't you want Hongmen to help hold the turf? ”

Bai Zhentian laughed and said, "Old friend, this is no problem at all, if you want someone or a gun, as long as you say a word, I will help you do ......it immediately."

"NO, NO, white, I don't need either!"

Bai Zhentian's words startled Albert, he had already received a solemn ultimatum from the US government, if the gangster fights that took place all over the United States did not end, then the mafia would no longer have the soil to survive in the United States.

Albert knew that although the United States talks about the law, the law is also made for the rich.

But the United States is also a rogue country, and when the law cannot solve the problem, they are also unscrupulous in playing hooliganism, such as the war between Iraq and Yugoslavia that has just ended.

So at this juncture, where does Albert dare to stir up trouble? If that's the case, he'll really push the mafia to the point of no return.

"Old friend, what kind of help do you need from me?" Bai Zhentian spread out his hands and asked puzzled.

"White, I need Hongmen to step in and help us maintain the existing order in cities like Las Vegas and Washington, and New York......"

With Albert's face, after saying the above words, he also felt a fever on his face, the traditional territory of their gang, but to let outsiders maintain order, this always sounds a little ridiculous.

But Albert also has no choice, after the mafia and the Yamaguchi-gumi fight, the mafia's shili everywhere is extremely weak.

In this case, many small local gangs have begun to stir up, and the mafia's drug business and network have been dealt a big blow.

The mafia's main profit point in the United States is drugs, which is a matter of life and death for the mafia, and Albert cannot sit idly by and watch this kind of thing happen anyway.

But the five major mafia families in New York are now all closely watched by the relevant departments of the United States, and they can't send people from the Italian nest, so after thinking about it, Albert can only look for allies.

"Help you keep order?" Bai Zhentian raised his eyebrows and said, "Old friend." I can't agree to this? ”

“weishenme？”

Albert didn't expect Bai Zhentian to refuse so simply, and hurriedly said: "Bai, we can pay enough price, whether it's 500 million or 1 billion dollars, you can make a price!" ”

The mafia's drug business in the United States is as high as $40 billion a year. And the Luciano family can occupy a tenth of it, which is four billion dollars.

They had been operating in the United States for decades, weaving a huge sales network, and now that network was about to be destroyed, so Albert was in a hurry.

So Albert is willing to pay any price for this, hundreds of millions of dollars is just a matter of his casual remarks, and Albert didn't think that it could be negotiated so easily.

"It's not about the money."

Bai Zhentian shook his head and said, "Old friend, you know. Hongmen has not been involved in the drug business since the seventies and eighties, and we can't break this rule......"

In the early days, Hongmen was at war with the mafia and other organizations because of the drug business.

But when the current president took office, he adjusted Hongmen's development strategy, and he invested a lot of money in legitimate business and put an end to drug sales in the United States.

Of course, Hongmen also has a drug business now. It's just that the business has been done in Europe and other countries, so as to avoid risks. It has also led the relevant departments in the United States to relax their surveillance.

Albert naturally knows this point, which is also the reason why he dared to let Hongmen help them temporarily take over the territory, that is, he was not afraid that Hongmen would go into the drug business by himself after eating the territory.

"Shiro, I believe that on this shijie, anything can be discussed."

Albert interrupted Bai Zhentian, who was babbling and talking. Said very seriously: "I am very sincere today, I can consider any conditions you put forward, I can consider ......"

"Just because you think about it doesn't mean you can agree!" Bai Zhentian squinted at Albert, and after talking to him for so long, the old fox finally spat out.

"White. Then you have to speak up first. ”

Albert smiled bitterly, if Hongmen opened his mouth and asked for 10 billion US dollars, then he really couldn't agree, because the money he earned in his early years had already been diversified into various fields.

"Okay, then I'll say it, but if I say it, old friend, you have to give me this face!" Bai Zhentian smiled, he estimated that the other party's appetite was almost hanging.

If this nonsense continues, I'm afraid Albert will really be in a hurry, and that will not be worth the loss, because in the United States, there are still some weak gangs such as the Mexican gang and the Vietnamese gang.

"You say ......," Albert nodded.

"I don't want money, not a penny!" Bai Zhentian said.

"Don't want money? So what do you want? Want a drug sales network? After hearing Bai Zhentian's words, Albert's face really changed for the first time.

"No, as I said, Hongmen will not get involved in the drug business in the United States." Bai Zhentian's words made Albert's heart return to his stomach.

"I want a little bit of your organization's stake in Las Vegas!"

However, Bai Zhentian's next words made Albert stand up from the chair all of a sudden, wave his hands and say: "Bai, this is impossible, you must know that our shares in Las Vegas cannot be transferred......

The drug business is certainly the lifeblood of the mafia, but the shares of Las Vegas casinos are also extremely important to the mafia.

Because Albert needs casinos to launder money, launder the billions of dollars a year, and then invest them in legitimate business in various countries.

If the casino had not been in operation, Albert's large sum of black gold earned every year would have become black money, perhaps smuggled to his villa in Italy to wait for mold.

"Old friend, don't get excited."

Bai Zhentian had already anticipated Albert's reaction, and said lightly: "There is more than one casino in Las Vegas that has your shares, and I don't want the shares of MGM Casino, but Taj. The stake in Mahal Casino is not that important to you, is it? ”

Bai Zhentian said Taj. Mahal Casino is an Indian-style casino, even larger than Luxor Casino, with nearly 10,000 staff members alone.

"Huh? You know we're in Taj. Does Mahal Casino have a stake? ”

After hearing Bai Zhentian's words, Albert couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. Mahal Casino holds a 2.1 percent stake.

It's just that this stake is too small, and he doesn't have much say on the casino board, and Albert can't control the board of directors to help them launder money, so it can only be regarded as a pure investment.

Of course. Don't look at the only 2.1 percent of the shares, but if you convert them into dollars, these shares are worth billions.

Bai Zhentian stared at Albert's eyes and said, "Old friend, I just have such a small request, it's up to you whether you agree or not!" ”

"Is this called a little bit of a request?" Albert glared. Shares worth billions of dollars are just a small request in Bai Zhentian's mouth?

Bai Zhentian shook his head and said, "Compared to your organization's losses in drug channels, this is indeed nothing, right?" ”

After hearing Qin Feng's words, Albert sighed and said, "Bai, even if you can get this little bit of shares, you can't control Taj. Mahal casino, those Indians are very stubborn. ”

Taj. The Mahal Casino was originally built with Indian investment. Although the stake in the casino has become very loose over the years, the Indian consortium still owns 8% of the shares and has a big say.

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about this." Bai Zhentian smiled faintly and said, "We Hongmen are just interested in the gambling industry, and we don't want to control any casino. ”

"I believe you're really a ghost."

Albert rolled his eyes when he heard this, Hongmen has been trying to meddle in the affairs of Las Vegas casinos all these years. Almost everyone knows it, but the traditional shili of Las Vegas has long been formed. They can't get in.

Moreover, those Western gambling tycoons, because of the gambling king of Aodao, are also very reluctant for the Chinese to enter the gambling industry, so Hongmen has never found any good opportunities.

"Helping friends is also a virtue......

Bai Zhentian opened his mouth and said: "Old friend, as long as you agree, I guarantee that you will organize traditional territories all over the United States. will not be challenged. ”

Bai Zhentian naturally didn't go to Taj for no reason. Mahal's shares, that's because from Taj. Since the opening of the Mahal Casino in 1990, Hongmen has been secretly absorbing shares in the casino.

In nearly 10 years, Hongmen has absorbed 4.5 percent of the shares from various minority shareholders. If Albert's stake is added, Hongmen's stake in the Taj Casino will reach 6.6.

Don't underestimate the 6.6 shares, in the case of the loose equity of the Taj Casino, the 6.6 percent of the shares is already a force that cannot be ignored in the board of directors, and what Albert can't do, they can do.

As long as they have a say on the board of directors, Hongmen can send some of their own people to serve as casino executives, although they can't completely control the casino, but it is not a problem to launder some black money every year.

"I'm going to think about it, Shiro, you're really a lion with a big mouth."

Albert constantly compares the gains and losses in his heart, and he finds that no matter how you calculate it, the drug business occupies an absolutely important position, and if the drug business collapses, the loss is far from being compensated by the casino's annual dividends of hundreds of millions.

Thinking of this, Albert's face is constantly changing, and he is naturally unwilling to hand over billions of dollars of shares like this.

"Old friend, you can think about it slowly, I'm not in a hurry at all."

Bai Zhentian drank tea slowly and said leisurely: "I heard that the Vietnamese gang over there in Washington has been rampant recently, whether it is against your mafia or the Yamaguchi group, they have all provoked?" ”

Bai Zhentian got the news yesterday that the Vietnamese gang, who were driven out of San Francisco by Hongmen, robbed the drug business of three nightclubs in Washington yesterday, and heard that some people died in the clashes.

"White, you...... You're taking advantage of the fire! Hearing Bai Zhentian's words, Albert finally broke out, slapped the table and said, "You...... You've gone too far, too. ”

"Hey, I said old friend, don't be angry!"

Seeing that Albert's angry face was about to be distorted, Bai Zhentian said slowly, "Aren't we discussing?" You can totally disagree with my request, it doesn't have anything to lose for us......"

"You...... You, well, I'll think again! Although Bai Zhentian's voice was not loud, it suddenly defeated Albert and made him sit back in his chair.

Because Bai Zhentian is right, this matter is begged to come to the door by himself, if the other party does not take advantage of the fire to rob, then it is not a gang, but a charity.

"Sir, there's another sturgeon, can I serve it now?"

While Albert was struggling, a chef with a plate appeared at the door of the back kitchen, but his chef's hat seemed to be a little large, hiding most of his face.

"Huh? Something is wrong with this man. ”

Just as the chef opened his mouth to speak, the goosebumps on Qin Feng's body suddenly exploded, and his body suddenly tensed, which was an instinctive reaction to danger. (To be continued......)
