Chapter 31 Casino Business
The next day, George stood at the door of the Silver Heritage Hotel again.After calling Corleone that night, George left a clone at home, then went around to the winery and placed another 30 liters of wine in the space.

As the space gradually increases, George can now hold at least 50 liters of wine. However, the new unified wine cellar has not yet been built.The current ones are still stored separately.

Taking away too much at once will cause unnecessary trouble.These 30 liters were prepared in the two previous wine cellars.No one would enter these two wine cellars without George's instructions.

So no one knew when he took the wine away, but the day after George took away the wine, he told Allison to continue storing the wine in these two wine cellars.

When George walked into the hotel, he saw two Jews in suits and polite ribbons walking toward him.

The two stood in front of George and said, "Mr. Orwell, please come with us. Sir is waiting for you."

After saying that, he turned around and walked upstairs.But the other person was indeed following George.Seeing the performance of the two people, George smiled slightly.

George followed the two of them and came to a small living room. There were already several men in suits waiting inside, but they could tell at a glance that they were thugs.

After seeing George walk in, they slowly put their hands in their arms, as if they would take out their weapons in the next moment.However, George doesn't care about this.

The man who brought George in stood in the middle of the living room, turned around and said to George: "Sorry, Mr. Orwell, we need to search you."

"Are you kidding?" George looked contemptuously at the seven people slowly surrounding him.

"We are also thinking about Luciano's safety."

"Then give it a try." After George said that, he deliberately spread his hands and acted as if he was casual.

The man gave a goon walking next to him a look.The thug next to him immediately walked up to George and stretched out his hand to search George.

George directly grabbed the person's neck with one hand, lifted the thug, and threw him to the two people on the left.The two people were knocked down instantly. As soon as the others reacted, they were stunned. George raised his foot and kicked the two people behind him. The two people were directly kicked out by him and were finally blocked by the wall.

After dealing with these five people, the remaining two people also reacted and took out the pistols in their arms. George slid sideways and came between them.He directly grabbed the two people from the back of their necks with his hands, and with a slight exertion of both hands, they were unable to move for an instant.

As soon as their hands were put together, the two people collided face to face. Blood immediately appeared on their faces and they were knocked unconscious.As soon as George let go, the two of them fell to the ground softly like noodles.

Looking at the people who fell to the ground, George's lips curled up. He didn't use any force just now, and several people had already fallen down. He couldn't help but beat them.

He shook his head and looked at the person who brought him over. He smiled slightly and said, "Why don't you come and search for it yourself."

The man immediately stood up straighter and said tremblingly: "First of all, sir, you misunderstood. We are just doing things according to the rules and have no other intentions."

"Don't be nervous. Since I kept you just now, you will naturally be useful. Go ahead and inform Mr. Luciano. My time is also very valuable."

After hearing this, the man nodded immediately and walked quickly outside the house.Anyone will feel a sense of fear when facing someone who can easily decide your life or death.

Facing this handsome young man who looked like he had just grown up, his calves were trembling a little now.

In just the blink of an eye, the seven people on his side were eliminated. Seeing him lift an adult with one hand, you can know how powerful the other person is.

It's better to leave here early.

George looked at the people who were leaving quickly and didn't say much.He was left here only so that someone could inform them. He was here to discuss cooperation, not to fight or kill. It was faster to kill with a gun.

George estimated that the few people just now must have really wanted to take him down, otherwise they wouldn't all be in this room with guns ready.However, as a civilized person, George thought it would be better to meet and talk, and just kill him outright. How could he quietly be his own millionaire in the future?

Within 2 minutes, the man came back and invited George to follow him again.This time, the two of them came to a large office with a set of sofas opposite the large desk.Sitting on the single sofa facing the door was a middle-aged man who was slightly overweight and about 1.7 meters tall with a cigar in his mouth.

After bringing George in, the man bent down and bowed slightly to the person on the sofa, then left directly.

George knew that the person sitting on the sofa should be Luciano.He was not polite and walked directly to sit opposite the visitor.He also looked directly at the middle-aged man opposite him, smiled and said, "It turns out that this is how the famous Jewish gang boss entertains guests. This is really eye-opening."

The person opposite also retracted his slightly aggressive gaze and said, "What Mr. Orwell did is not what a guest should do, right?"

"Oh, you mean you want me to search you obediently? Okay, then do you want to come?" After saying that, he looked at the people standing behind him with a smile.

Luciano also smiled, waved and let the others go out.Only a middle-aged man with glasses was left standing behind him.Then he said: "The people under my command don't understand the rules. Mr. Orwell has already punished them with his own hands, so I won't mention them anymore. Mr. Orwell, what do you want to drink?"

"Okay, that's it. Coffee will be fine. Thanks."

Then the man with glasses called someone to bring George a cup of coffee.But George didn't move, just let him sit there quietly.

"I heard from Vito that Mr. Orwell wants to buy a casino in Reno this time, right?"

"Yes, I had this idea before."

"Well, then why was it before again?"

"Because I thought casino management was relatively simple before. Now, with the economic environment so bad, how many people are still willing to gamble."

"There are still a lot of rich people. For example, Mr. George, not only won more than 1000 million in the last competition, he should also make a lot of money from the drink business every month, right?"

"Why are you not allowed to make money?" George understood. The Jewish gang should have found out that he was the one who provided drinks to the Italian family headed by Corleone.George had learned before that before he provided alcohol to Corleone, Corleone's share of the black market alcohol was very low.Their roots were not as deep as those of the Jewish gang, so it was the Jewish gang that really controlled the New York liquor business at that time.

After he provided wine to Corleone, a large chunk of the mid-to-high-end wine market was poached by the Corleone family.It's not just about money, it's also about relationships with the upper class.With Corleone's personality, he will definitely make friends with a lot of people from both political and legal circles.

In the movie, the reason why Corleone suppresses the other four major families is that the other four major families want to use the Corleone family's connections in the political and legal circles to protect their smuggling cocoa powder business.

From this we can see the importance of relationships. Don’t think that foreigners don’t understand the ways of the world. That’s wrong. It’s just that foreigners’ ways of doing things are more straightforward.

As the underground emperor of New York, he could find out about George, and George could understand that he had not pretended to trade with Tesio several times.

"That's not true. I'm just surprised by Mr. Orwell's ability. I think cooperation can lead to win-win results. I invite you here this time because I just want to cooperate with you. After all, in terms of strength, we can do more than Corleone. good."

"Aren't you all in the same group? Aren't you afraid that the Corleone family won't be willing to do this if you try to steal Corleone's business?"

"Did I say eat it all? You can divide it into more portions. There is strength in numbers." Luciano explained with a smile.

George thought about it. If it were a wine business alone, his winery would produce 600 million liters of wine next year.

If the Corleone family alone, even if there are several mafia families with good relations with Corleone, it is impossible to drink all his wine.

Then developing new sales channels has become inevitable.So there is absolutely no need to say it all right now, you can talk slowly.

"Well, you're right, but firstly, our drinks are limited, and secondly, we can't give away more for the time being."

Seeing Luciano's expression suddenly turn bad, George continued: "Actually, as long as I wait until next year, I can provide you with high-quality wine in large quantities."

"Next year, it's too late. We want it now, what to do."

When George saw that the other party was not going to follow the rules, he did not tolerate him and said directly: "Then I have no choice. You can tell Corleone yourself and ask him to give you part of it."

"However, if you want to have some evil thoughts from me, I advise you to think carefully."

This was why Luciano took no further steps.If you can capture George directly and get the source of the drinks and the transportation channel from him, then it would undoubtedly be the most ideal thing to take over the business yourself.

But now the ambush person has failed, and it seems that the other party is not that simple.Can a simple person get so much wine and transport it in silently?
Moreover, there were also factors involving the Corleone family, which made Luciano extremely depressed.If there weren't too many people in the casino, and many people saw him walking to the casino, so he couldn't use too many gunmen, and there was still a chance of catching him with dozens of gunmen.

Now it's just a matter of waiting.After thinking about this clearly, Luciano smiled and said: "Then I will talk to Vito again. Let's talk about the casino."

After explanation, he understood.It turned out that what they wanted to do was really the Reno Casino.This casino was opened by a Jew from a steel company. The Jewish gang was just checking the place for that Jew, using the casino to make loan sharks. The cocoa powder business and pornographic business in Reno were the Jewish gang's own business.

Now the owner wants to sell.

George immediately understood that the current economic crisis had suddenly trapped the steel industry, and because the economic crisis had reduced gamblers, the casino business had plummeted.That's why the Jew wants to sell the casino.No wonder he asked Corleone to inquire before but there was no news, and now he approached him to sell it. This was treating himself as a takeover.

However, George still smiled and asked: "I don't know, at what price are you planning to sell it?"

"1300 million US dollars is a more appropriate price." Luciano said with a smile.Then he started bragging again, talking about how much he earns in a month and so on.

Good guy, George recited a few words of good guy silently in his heart.This means not only treating yourself as the receiver, but also treating yourself as the enemy!George smiled and said: "As long as 1300 million, it includes the casino license. Does everyone have it?"

Luciano, seeing that George did not refuse directly and was still asking carefully, thought that George was really interested, so he continued: "Of course, the 1300 million U.S. dollars includes all the hotel, casino procedures, and all hotel employees. But, It’s quite chaotic here, so our Jewish gang can provide you with protection, as long as you give us a monthly protection fee of US$50.”

This is no longer greed, this is complete robbery.It also includes hotel employees, but not casino employees.You know, a regular casino needs not only a license, but also a dealer and a technical director who are the ones who prevent cheating.He ignored all these people.

What's more important is the protection fee of US$50 a month.George remembered that he robbed their headquarters last time, where casinos and loan companies were housed. The entire monthly income from the pornographic business was just over 100 million US dollars.

Back then, business was at its best. With the current market conditions, it would be good if the casino could make a profit of 50 yuan a month.The Jewish gang asked for 50 yuan, which was completely taking George as their scapegoat.

George smiled and said: "The price is too high. I wonder if there are any cheaper casinos that you want to sell?"

"Others are not as profitable. If you want to make money, this one is the best."

Then George excused himself without saying anything more and said that he needed to think about it.Just arrived today and wanted to take a rest.

Luciano didn't push too hard. He was already settled. Wouldn't it be easier to take him down? It would be so easy to give him some medicine or something.

Then, he enthusiastically arranged a room for George and invited him to have dinner with him in the evening.However, George refused on the excuse that he was too tired from the journey.

George returned to the room and deliberately turned on the water in the bathroom bathtub, making it flow.Then his keen sense noticed that someone would pass by in the corridor in less than 2 minutes.He would also linger at the door of his room for a while. This was because he was under surveillance.

George didn't wait any longer, opened the window and left Renault.It was now the end of the month, and it was only a few days before the time when the wine should be delivered, so George delivered the July wine by the way.
