A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 453 Sixty Thousand Dollars
"Chicago is indeed a good city, but I still prefer New York." Rothstein said with a smile.

In this regard, Johnny, who lives in Chicago, said meaningfully:
"New York is good, but after Prohibition, is New York still the New York you like?"

"To me, everything is the same," Rothstein said seriously.

"Yes, we are gathered here today, isn't it just to keep everything as usual?" Thompson said while looking at several people.

Johnny nodded in approval, and then said:

"In view of the current situation and the uncertain future developments, I want everyone to sit down and clarify some things. This will be a mutually beneficial thing for all of us."

Rothstein looked at Johnny's appearance of thinking about everyone, shook his head and said with a smile:
"Mr. Torrio is indeed a well-known good man in the Windy City."

"Please, Rothstein, when I say mutual benefit, I definitely include myself." As he spoke, Johnny chuckled, then leaned back in his chair, and continued:

"Gentlemen, I'm not here just to have a meal with you. I'm looking forward to the agency fee I deserve."

"Of course, Johnny," Thompson confirmed.

After hearing that there would be no problem with his agency fee, Johnny cleared his throat and said to Thompson:
"Rothstein and Luciano are very interested in New York's nightclubs and many businesses that they haven't set foot in before. As we all know, Mr. Thompson, your position in Atlantic City not only allows you to have unimpeded access to the port, but also you have influence in the political circles force……"

"Oh, Johnny, stop being like this and talk about the point." Luciano interrupted Johnny's polite words with a look of dissatisfaction.

Johnny, who was interrupted, looked at Luciano with the same dissatisfaction, and the two looked at each other.

"This is big business, Luciano..."

"So what? Let's get to the point."

The atmosphere on the table suddenly cooled down.

In the end, Johnny didn't care about Luciano.

"Okay, come on, you can make your own decision. I'm just a person who earns agency fees anyway."

This may be better for Luciano. He held the cigarette between his fingertips and gestured with something while looking at Sean and said bluntly:
"I heard that you are the supplier, so can you help us arrange it? First of all, at the beginning, we need to increase the volume to 2000 per month."

As he spoke, Luciano still had a kind of "I'm giving you a cheap smile" on his face. Until he finished speaking, he realized that everyone around him was using a kind of "What are you doing?" When he looked at him, the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

Sean glanced expressionlessly at Thompson, who looked confused next to him, then at Rothstein, who cast a scrutinizing gaze at him, and finally said:
"Young man, you are just like me when I was young, anxious, reckless, self-righteous, but lacking in courtesy and the most basic respect. However, you should not ask me directly. It is true that I am a supplier, but I am not Your supplier, your supplier, is sitting next to me."

"Haha." Hearing Sean mention him, Thompson took over and continued:

"Mr. McGuire, these young people today always don't understand the importance of communication skills."

On the other side, hearing the two people's merciless comments, Luciano showed a forced fake smile again, then stood up and said:
"Well, I think I need to go to the bathroom."

Then, he angrily put out his cigarette butt in the ashtray and patted Rothstein on the shoulder before leaving.

After Luciano left, Rothstein put on an apologetic smile and said:

"Sorry, being ambitious sometimes always behaves a bit like being impatient." "Hmm, there is also arrogance and arrogance." Thompson said not euphemistically.

Although Rothstein still wanted to say something, he finally gave up and then changed the topic:

"I have a judge friend, and his daughter is getting married in a few days. I am honored to be in charge of their reception. There are almost seven hundred guests. I need to add an extra batch of high-quality wine to the normal supply."

"You're out of stock?" Thompson said after taking a sip from the wine glass in front of him.

Rothstein shook his head and said regretfully:

"These are distinguished guests. Obviously, I can't treat them with those miserable things mixed with water and some alcohol. Yes, I have no more stock."

"No problem, I just ordered a batch of [-] boxes from Mr. McGuire, and they are good goods that have not been blended. They will arrive at the port tomorrow."

Thompson looked at the others, then continued generously:
"I originally planned to keep it for myself, but to show my sincerity in wanting to develop our friendship, I can give it to you."

"What's the price?" Rothstein asked, taking out a small notebook he carried with him.

This is his habit. He will write down the time and amount to avoid mistakes.

"The total is [-] US dollars, but you have to bear the shipping cost yourself."

After hearing the quotation, Rothstein lowered his head and was silent for a while. Johnny, who was sitting opposite, also exchanged a look with Colosimo. That look seemed to say, look at this price, what a good business it is.

Rothstein was silent for a long time, then wrote a few numbers in his notebook and said with a formulaic smile:

"Give me the details and we'll trade in cash tomorrow."

"No problem." Thompson said and shook hands with Rothstein, and the deal was concluded.

Of course, this matter is just an interlude for today's talks. After finalizing this, Rothstein said:
"There is one more thing. Since several of us here are sincere in developing our friendship with each other, there is one thing that I have to mention here."

Johnny saw that Rothstein was looking at him when he said this, and he guessed that it probably had something to do with him, so he said:

"Say it, Rothstein, no matter what the problem is, we will solve it together."

"I recently purchased a batch of wine. They were shot during transportation. My men were also injured. The location is on your territory, Johnny."

After listening to what Rothstein said, Johnny frowned and glanced at his boss, and then said in a serious tone:

"Rosstein, I will give you an explanation for this matter."

"Please hurry up. If you can't guarantee the safety of the passage, then you shouldn't make this money..."

"Rosstein, I said, I will give you an explanation."

"That's the best."
