On Saturday, the Corleone family sent a cadre to negotiate.

The Corleone family is one of the five major families in New York, this family has a large power in New York and Chicago, and belongs to the top dark family in the United States in the 40s of the 19th century.

Corleone, Bassini, Tatagria, Skurazi, Cucchio.

These five families were the top echelon of the American underground world in the 40s of the 19th century.

…………

The Corleone family's business, the largest wager registration and gambling business in New York and Chicago, and the largest lottery dealer in the Harlem area;

The Basiñi family ran a wholesale market for building materials, a wholesale merchandise market, and money lending;

The Tatagria family is in control of the scenery shop that waits for customers to come to the door and the delivery lady who goes when he receives a call;

The Skurazzi family controlled the trade unions, obtained government contracts, and monopolized earthworks, urban greening, and house demolition;

Kuchio mainly relies on nightclubs and large mulberry leaf business;

…………

What these families have in common is that they are mainly of Italian and Irish origin.

The expansion of the flying face god izakaya in the low-level white gathering areas such as Italianate and Irish has touched their basic plate.

………………………………

This cadre who came to negotiate was Tom Hagen of the Corleone family, known for its "hundreds".

He was shrewd, sharp-tongued, and adept at controlling the pace of negotiations, and was highly regarded by his godfather.

The bar counter of the izakaya, the second generation Nobunaga dove, moved to the top of the card seat, and the body is burly and bloated.

In Tom Hagen's view, Nobunaga Hato, the second generation, is a mysterious ghost, all black, wearing a white mask, and making a heavy snorting sound.

At the flagship store of the flying noodle god in New York Harbor, the two drank brandy and chatted like old friends.

…………

Tom Hagen took a sip of brandy and said, "Mr. Nobunaga, the Corleone family can provide some shelter for your estate. You know this place in New York, where crime, robbery, and torture happen every day......"

Nobunaga Dove, the second generation, inside the white mask, can only see cloudy eyes and bloated body, facing Tom Hagen: "So Mr. Tom, what is the price?" ”

Tom Hagen elegantly took a bite of the triangular rice ball and nodded: "Well, this Asian food tastes really good, and the rice grains are very fragrant...... The Corleone family wants 10%. ”

Nobunaga dove repeated: "10%? ”

Tom Hagen swallowed a bite of the rice ball, then stuck a piece of fried shrimp tempura with a fork and said, "Yes, 10% of the turnover of each store is used as the security management fee for the operation of this area. ”

Nobunaga Haku, the second generation, took a sip of brandy and said frankly: "The flying noodle god is an izakaya, and the business is all charity. It's breaking even every month, and there's not even a 1% limit. ”

Tom Hegen eats fried shrimp tempura, and he doesn't care about the explanation of the second generation Nobunaga dove at all.

…………

It is impossible for the unprofitable charity business to expand to half of New York's poor communities, and it has long been eaten up by the poor ghosts who fled the famine.

Tom Hagen judged that the flying noodle god izakaya adopted a business strategy of small profits and quick turnover.

With meager profits, we will kill the line, mainly through the sales of extreme dishes, to achieve high turnover of goods and obtain considerable profits.

This makes logical sense.

Otherwise, it is impossible to explain why the flying noodle god のizakaya is expanding so rapidly.

…………

【Ding! Hit the Vital Points]

Tom Hagen found that the fried shrimp in this bottom-tier meal was actually made of northern long-fronted shrimp.

The northern long-fronted shrimp is a cold-water shrimp that is mainly produced in the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean.

Cold-water shrimp grow particularly slowly, taking up to four years to reach fishing size.

The northern long-fronted shrimp has a red body color, and its growth cycle begins as a male to a female, and then lays eggs and hatches.

Other cold-water shrimp species, this shrimp is quite large in size and has crispy flesh.

In the 19th century, the largest northern shrimp production in the United States was in the waters of Washington, Oregon and Northern California on the West Coast, which were difficult to transport and preserve, and supplies were limited.

…………

The northern prawns have a firm taste, and the cost is two or three times that of ordinary prawns, and ordinary people cannot afford to consume this ingredient.

Only high-end restaurants in Manhattan have a lot of demand for this cold-water shrimp.

This flying noodle god izakaya is actually used to make a 10-cent poor man's meal course......

It's too extravagant.

The Corleone family also has some hotel and restaurant properties in New York.

For the poor, if you use northern shrimp as an ingredient, even if you use dead cheap stinky shrimp, you will definitely lose money and go bankrupt.

………………………………

"Isn't this business really profitable?"

A ridiculous thought crossed Tom Hagen's mind.

Nobunaga Hato, the second generation, put down the wine glass and said, "The problem of safety, we can solve it ourselves......"

"You know, where the flying face god izakaya opened, there were a lot of believers. Whoever makes them hungry will make them miserable. ”

"And we have a lot of volunteers in each of our restaurants. They look bad-tempered. ”

Volunteers in the restaurant silently picked up kitchen knives, spatulas, and boning knives, and more than a dozen people gathered around Tom Hagen.

Tom Hagen ate another piece of fried shrimp tempura, he poured a glass of brandy, shook his glass, and said calmly: "Mr. Nobunaga Hato, you know that this is New York." ”

"Corleone's influence comes from more than just the Italian-American community and dozens of Chicago typewriters."

"We can even mobilize dozens of police cars from Brooklyn, Staten Island, the Bronx, and ask for endorsements from New York City Councillors if needed."

"The restaurant volunteers are brave, but their strength is too one-dimensional."

…………

Tom Hagen's remarks, the second generation Nobunaga Hado did not immediately express his position.

Scold! Scold! Scold!

The surrounding volunteers waited for orders, and some even began to make a screeching sound of knives grinding.

Tom Hagen's palms began to sweat......
