Chapter 6 Fair Competition
For the young army that has not yet been created, they have risen rapidly by relying on the Osiris family, and they have initially gotten rid of the embarrassing situation of being poor and white.
At this stage, however, Douglas does not have enough money to discuss cooperation with the Capone gang.
So he simply changed his approach and showed the "muscles" of the organization to Werther.
In the daily life of the cannibalistic and eaten mafia, there is no more convincing way...
Werther: "Hahahaha! Nice, just amazing! There is still this ability, Mr. Douglas, please forget the misunderstanding just now, and continue to talk! ”
"Well, it's the first time I've met you, and I won't pursue it. But in the course of the next cooperation, I don't want this unpleasant thing to happen again. ”
Douglas paused slightly, glancing at Lily beside him.
The secretary, the girl, waved her hand and put away the paper wall, then pulled out a folder from her arms and handed it to Werther.
Douglas: "In the West Sea, no one does not know the prestige of the five major gangs, except for those pirates who are divided by their own strength, and even the government has intersections with the bosses of various mafia. The most important thing in wanting to occupy a place on this sea is strength, but from another point of view, to maintain the so-called strong soldiers, everyone can't get around the word 'money'. ”
Werther: "Kind of interesting, go on." ”
Douglas: "If you want to earn Bailey, it is not difficult for those godfathers who are at the top of the mafia, but to say that the most profitable of them is always around arms and duke products, Mr. Werther, to maintain the godfather Capone's constant foreign war all year round, I believe that the family's expenses must be not small." ”
"Don't be so clever." Witte laughed: "If I were the kind of incompetent person who would be used by outsiders to trick the family financial cashier in this way, the godfather would have killed me a long time ago." ”
"Don't get me wrong, I didn't mean that... But doesn't Capenbecki want a bigger slice of the gold dust trade in the islands? ”
The young man pointed to the information in the other party's hand, and said: "I have a new purification method in my hand, as long as it is operated properly, it can increase the purity of gold powder circulating on the market by 50%, don't you understand?" ”
"Tsk, is there really such a convenient way?"
Werther's gaze quickly swept over the document in his hand, but he didn't seem to be moved by Douglas's statement... As a negotiator, Werther focused more on the positions of both sides and the reasons for their actions than making money.
In his opinion, if Douglas really had mastered this advanced method that could bring great economic profits, it must be the Osiris family to whom he was loyal to it first.
However, the actual situation now is that the gold powder sold by the Osiris family on the market is not substantially different from the products of other families, and the discrepancies are worth playing...
In Werther's view, either the so-called "advanced technology" still has some kind of defects and hidden dangers, and Osiris does not want to take the risk alone, so he pushes the president of Golden Rose to seek cooperation with the outside world.
Or, this negotiation is a conspiracy through and through, a delicious bait devised by someone with a heart, ready to be disadvantageous to the Capone family!
Even if this method is indeed true, Douglas is sincere in wanting to find the Capone family to cooperate, but if he wants to become big and form a monopoly in this area, he will cut off the financial path of the five major gangster families at the same time, and put himself in the public target, which is too stupid...
So in summary, no matter which possibility it is, from Werther's point of view, there is no reason to be fooled.
"Mr. Douglas, it doesn't seem to make sense that you didn't go to your master to offer treasures, but went around in a big circle to find the Capone family to cooperate, right?"
He put down the file, but he still held the handle revolver in his hand: "And I don't think that one or two more concentrated Du products can shake the situation of the five major gangsters, if this is all the information you can reveal to the Capone family at the moment, then I can only regretfully refuse this cooperation." ”
It is true that Capenbergi is keen to stir up disputes among the different mafias in the region, but he is not a completely irrational fool.
Werther knows the style of his boss, so he would never agree to this kind of investment where the returns and risks are not proportional.
But after he refused, Douglas, who was sitting across the round table, still showed no hurry.
The young man leaned back in his chair and continued in a flat tone: "Mr. Werther, have you ever heard the saying 'two peaches kill three soldiers'? ”
Werther: "? ”
Douglas: "Let me change the question, do you think it's difficult to provoke a fight between these big gangs?" ”
"Of course not."
Witt shrugged and sneered... Although in the West Sea, the sphere of influence of the five major gangsters is amazingly large, but in fact, there are all kinds of dirt between them.
The Capone family has always started from these contradictions, provoked small-scale riots, and took the opportunity to strengthen their own power.
"Even if they don't have to be provoked by outsiders, they themselves will fight for various reasons, which is a natural thing, haha, speaking of struggle, it is human nature!"
"It's a very incisive summary, since you also understand this truth, then the following things are easy to explain." Douglas picked up the other man's words and continued: "If we want to start a larger gang fire, we don't really need to devise some intrigues and tricks to make them misunderstand and then fight each other. ”
"Even if they already have their own kingdoms, none of these families standing at the pinnacle of the underworld are willing to stop, they are always looking at each other's territory, and they are always looking forward to annihilating their opponents, and one family is dominant, so if you want to provoke a war, in fact, all you need is a fuse, or an excuse is enough."
Douglas tapped his fingers lightly on his temples and added
"Mr. Werther, I was just asking the Capone family if they were interested in this method of producing high-purity gold powder, and it seems that there was no mention of squeezing market share or taking over the other families' duke business, right?"
"Oh?" Werther was shocked, and couldn't help but re-examine his opinion on the matter
"Did I take it out of context?" He tucked the revolver back into the holster around his waist, reached out and made a gesture of please, motioning for Douglas to continue.
Douglas: "We don't need to make this money in such a stupid way, the Capone family and the Osiris family are only responsible for the production of gold powder, and as for the sales channel, we might as well let the other bigwigs fight for quotas according to their abilities"
Speaking of this, although the young man's face was still serious, there was some mocking smile in his tone
"That's fair play, isn't it?"
