On this day, Monet had just walked out of "Comet" not far away, when suddenly a man approached him and asked, "You are Monsieur Monet, right?" ”

Monet glanced at him and confirmed that he didn't know him, so he stepped back a little and replied cautiously: "That's right, I am, may I ask who you are?" ”

"I'm your new secretary, Lisa's husband, Capulos!" The man introduced himself.

"Oh, hello Mr. Capulos!" Monet took the initiative to stretch out his hand and signal.

Capulos shook it weakly, and then said in a deep voice: "Mr. Monet, can I have a drink, I have something I want to discuss with you!" ”

"Okay, but I'm not going to drink for a while, let's go have a coffee!" Monet pointed to Jessica's café not far away.

"It's good!" Kapros nodded in agreement.

When he arrived at the café, Capulos said to Monet: "Mr. Monet, I am looking for you today in the hope that you will be able to dismiss my wife!" ”

"Wait, wait, I heard you right, right? You asked me to fire your wife? Monet couldn't believe his ears for a moment.

Kapros nodded and replied, "That's right, I want you to dismiss my wife!" ”

"Why do you want me to fire your wife? And why didn't Lisa resign with me herself? Monet asked puzzled.

"Because she doesn't want to resign, that's why he wants to talk to you!" Capulos explained.

"Since Lisa herself doesn't want to resign, why do you have to let her resign?" Monet asked.

Capulos pointed at Monet and said, "Because of you! ”

"Because of me? I—What's wrong with me? Monet asked curiously.

Capulos stared at Monet for a few seconds, and then said in a deep voice: "Mr. Monet, everyone is a man, and some words don't need to be so straightforward as I say, right?" ”

Although Monet had already vaguely guessed, he still asked: "You better be blunt, I really don't understand what you mean!" ”

"Because I don't want my wife to end up in your bed like your two previous secretaries!" Capulos replied through gritted teeth.

Hearing this answer, Monet couldn't help frowning, to be honest, he did have this kind of thing in his heart, but he swore to God that he definitely didn't take action, so he said unhappily: "Mr. Caplos, you are prejudiced against me. That's right, I'll admit, I have a lot of women, Christina and Catherine were indeed my secretaries before, but that doesn't mean that my secretaries will eventually become my women, don't you have this equation? And did I do anything rude or behaving towards your wife? ”

"Not at the moment, as far as I know, but that doesn't mean there won't be one in the future. And I'll admit, the equation isn't 100% true, but I don't want to take the risk, so I hope you'll fire my wife! Capulos insisted.

Monet shook his head without hesitation and replied: "This is absolutely impossible, otherwise wouldn't it be equivalent to me admitting that I had intentions against your wife?" So if you really want to do that, let your wife resign from me! "Get up and leave.

Monet's original intention today was to come to Thierry, because the transformation of "Playboy" will affect the publicity effect of his girls, so I have to talk to him well, and by the way, I will reveal a message to him in advance.

But as soon as they met, Thierry asked him curiously, "Tony, what's wrong with you?" Who you off? ”

So Monet repeated what had just happened, and then complained: "Tell me what is going on!" ”

Thierry's eyes rolled after hearing this: "Okay, I'll help you solve this matter, and I guarantee that this guy won't bother you again in the future!" ”

"Can you help me out? How are you going to fix it? Monet asked curiously.

"You don't care about that, by the way, what are you looking for me today?" Thierry digressed.

Monet first talked about the transformation of "Playboy", and then threw out the bombshell news: "If my analysis is correct, it should be in the past one or two years, and the prohibition will be lifted!" ”

Because the moonshine business is now a big profit point for Thierry, he hurriedly asked, "Why did you come to this conclusion?" ”

"Because the biggest contradiction of Prohibition is that it violates the most important spirit of the U.S. Constitution: respect for the rights and freedoms of individual citizens. Formal production has also been banned, forcing people to choose private breweries and underground breweries with no safety guarantees and poor quality. During this period, the number of patients admitted to the hospital due to alcohol poisoning was much higher than in the past; Not only that, the phenomenon of misappropriation of industrial alcohol has been repeatedly prohibited, so there are many patients with methanol poisoning; In the workshop where spirits are produced, there are often serious quality problems with the self-made distillation equipment, and serious accidents such as explosions often occur, resulting in injuries to workers. In addition, a ban on the entire U.S. liquor industry meant that the government lost tax revenue from one industry, and at the same time, it had to spend a lot of money on enforcing Prohibition, which made Prohibition a real loss-making deal.

Finally, in the current period of the Great Depression, how to revitalize the economy and make the people able to eat has become the only thing that matters. Politicians should no longer be in the mood to pay attention to the morality of drinking, and on the contrary, lifting the ban may provide some help to the dynamic economy: the production of alcohol can expand food consumption and boost domestic demand, which can give a little hope to overproduced American agriculture; In industry and commerce, the circulation of one more commodity has the potential to bring more liquidity to the market, and in short, I think the lifting of Prohibition should come soon, so you should be prepared in advance. Monet analyzed one by one.

Thierry pondered the time of a cigarette after hearing this, then nodded and agreed: "You have a point, I will prepare in advance." By the way, when do you think it will be, the range of a year or two is too big. ”

"Well, I don't think it's going to be a presidential election soon, if there is a more radical president, then it should almost be lifted, and it is unlikely to count on the current good old man Mr. Hoover." In fact, in private, Monet has always felt that Hoover is a very unlucky president, the root cause of the Great Depression basically has nothing to do with him in 1928, which is the pain that the United States must bear in the transformation from an agricultural society to an industrial society, the free market economy caused by the huge gap between the rich and the poor in the process of social development and the weak global demand environment, resulting in insufficient aggregate demand, overproduction, resulting in an economic crisis. It would be inappropriate to put all the blame on him, and his successor, Roosevelt, did not actually save the American economy, it was the Second World War that really got the United States out of its economic woes.
