A Red Dead Redemption Story

Chapter 457

"Thank you, Geraint. Don't worry, I will pay you back and I won't cause you any trouble." Capone said to Geraint.

In the end, the two of them left an IOU and a guarantee with Rothstein.

"So how are you going to repay the money?" Geraint asked.

In fact, there is no risk for Geraint in vouching for Capone. If Capone really fails to pay, Geraint can just tell his family and it will be solved. It is really not a big problem. As for why The purpose of vouching for Capone was on the one hand to take this opportunity to see if Capone was worthy of further contact, and on the other hand it was simply because the two had a good conversation, and Geraint was willing to help with this effort.

Faced with Geraint's question, Capone directly stated his plan.

"I have a plan, I just need your help."

"tell me the story."

Capone took out his cigarette case but found that it was empty. Seeing this, Geraint took out his own cigarette case and gave each of them a cigarette.

"Huh..." Capone held his cigarette in his mouth and said seriously:
"Rostenberg's [-] boxes of wine arrived in Hong Kong today, and we robbed them..."

Geraint was a little surprised.

"Capone, there is a very serious problem with your plan first." Geraint didn't beat around the bush. He took a puff of cigarette and continued:
"Even if you, well, us, even if we robbed this batch of wine on the way to deliver the goods, how would you turn them into money? You can't just rob Rothstein and pay him with the wine you robbed." Pay the bill? Moreover, once you sell the wine and Rothstein finds out..."

Capone frowned. In fact, he hadn't thought about it that much.

"Let me think again, think again..."

"And, I remember you said, 'Your boss, Big Jim,' wouldn't allow you to get involved in the moonshine business." Geraint added.

Unexpectedly, this sentence suddenly inspired Capone.

"Geraint, do you want to expand your business?"

Listening to Capone's very serious tone, Geraint didn't know what he was thinking, but he nodded anyway.

"Chicago is a big market."

After receiving an affirmative answer from Geraint, Capone took a deep puff of the cigarette in his hand, then flicked the butt of the cigarette away and said:
"We can show Johnny some sweetness..."

……

"Jingle bell, jingle bell."

"Morgan's family, what can I do for you? Ah, Geraint, wait a moment."

The housekeeper put the phone receiver aside, found Arthur in the garden and said:
"Arthur, Geraint called."

"Okay, Woolf." Arthur handed the gardening shears to the butler Woolf, then wiped the sweat on his head with the towel around his neck, and then took off the gloves on his hands. Walk towards the house.

"Hey, Geraint, what's going on?"

"Dad, there is something I want to ask you."

Geraint's voice came from the other end of the receiver. "About what?"

"The moonshine business."

"Then why don't you just ask Sean?" Arthur held the phone receiver in one hand and took the orange juice that Woolf poured with the other.

"Hey, I'm asking Sean, and Sean has to come and ask you, so why don't I just call you and ask you."

Arthur shook his head with a smile, took a sip of ice-cold orange juice, and said:
"Speak the truth."

"The thing is like this..." Geraint recounted everything from last night to this morning to Ya, and then said:

"I always feel like something is going to go wrong, but I'm not sure whether it will affect our business."

After listening to Geraint's words, Arthur smiled and put down the orange juice in his hand and said:
"I've heard of this 'Big Jim' in Chicago. Geraint, use your brain. Although I'm quite pleased that you thought of just calling me when something happened, but you must first have your own Think, and then come to me with your ideas for advice, instead of just collecting all the information and telling me what to do and waiting for me to tell you what to do.”

"..." Geraint didn't expect Arthur to educate him directly on the phone, but he still expressed his own thoughts after briefly rethinking it.

"I think 'Big Jim' or Johnny Torrio, one of them needs to go."

"What you said is very conservative, Geraint. I think it's obviously not a [-]-[-] situation between them, right? Come on, let's guess who will fail and who will succeed. After all, it's important to press the code in advance. The winner can get enough benefits, right?" Arthur continued to guide Geraint.

For today's Arthur, like 'Big Jim', an upgraded version of Bronte's power back then, Arthur only needs to make a phone call to the mayor's office to get him out of Chicago. If he wants to go a little further , it was just a matter of signing a check, but Arthur still discussed with Geraint with relish the possibility of internal fighting among the Chicago gangs. The reason was simply that Geraint was his son, and this was also a good training opportunity.

"I've learned about the market in the past few days, and the bootlegging business deserves our serious attention."

Listening to Geraint's words, Arthur was not in a hurry to interrupt him or say anything.

There is no doubt that the moonshining business deserves to be taken seriously. It is a hugely profitable industry, not to mention that with the blessing of Prohibition, moonshining has completely turned into a complete seller's market.

"'Big Jim' is in this position, but he doesn't want to get involved in the bootlegging business. He is just taking advantage of it. He has made enough money, so he doesn't have to get involved, but the people under him will definitely not be willing to do so. , even if there is no Johnny today, someone else will stand up and challenge him tomorrow, so I think if Johnny is willing to take action, then he will win." Geraint continued.

Regarding these words, Arthur was noncommittal and just said with a smile:

"Since you think Johnny will win, what benefits will you gain if Johnny wins? Or what benefits will we gain?"

"In the Chicago market, we can dump wine to [-] large and small underground pubs in Chicago, and all direct risks will be borne by Johnny and the others." Geraint obviously answered much faster than before. .

Seeing that Geraint had already figured it out, Arthur said:
"Geraint, now that you have figured it out and taken sides, don't just wait there for Johnny to take action, or wait for him to win, but make sure that he will take action and let the winner be the one Johnny.”

"This...?" Geraint was a little shocked by Arthur's way of doing things.

"Do you remember when I was a kid, I took you siblings to watch the horse racing?" Arthur said in a nostalgic tone. At that time, the children were still very cute. Unlike now, when they grow up, one or two of them have become Not fun anymore.

"Remember……"

How could Geraint have forgotten that he and Becky chose a horse alone. Becky's horse had a great chance of winning, but Becky still bribed her rider.

Damn it, thinking of this, Geraint couldn't help but sigh, no wonder Becky was able to control him and Hans brothers to death since she was a child.
