1. Prohibition? I want to drink alcohol(2/2)

This is most of the wealth accumulated by my predecessor before and after he became a soldier.

Allman chuckled and said, "I thought you were so rich!"

Donnie said: "It will happen in the future!"

Allman didn't take Downey's words to heart and said: "I will give you an answer tomorrow!"

After speaking, Allman was about to leave, but Downey stopped Allman and said, "There is one last thing!"

Allman exaggerated: "How many things do you still have to do?"

"The last one!" After Downey finished speaking, he handed Allman a note.

Written on this piece of paper is a Colt 1911, 50 rounds of ammunition!

Although there were already stores selling guns in the United States at this time, purchasing them in stores required a lot of procedures and was not something you could just buy if you wanted. Moreover, there was no such store in Atlantic City.

Allman glanced at Downey's demand, with some doubts on his face, and asked: "Are you going to use this gun to trouble George Korle? If that's the case, I won't sell it to you.

Of!"

Donnie smiled and said: "Do you think I am a fool? With my current strength, can I go to trouble George Korle?"

Downey's purpose of buying a gun is actually very simple, just for self-protection. The United States is a country with a proliferation of guns. Coupled with the background of this era and the chaos in Atlantic City, Downey needs some weapons for self-defense!

"Don't worry, I won't do something stupid like that. Didn't someone rob the Blue Ocean Tavern next door yesterday? So I bought a gun just to protect myself!"

"Haha, that's the reason!" Allman laughed loudly: "Didn't you hear the news that those unlucky guys were arrested this morning?"

Downey curled his lips and said: "I also heard that although those people were arrested, the losses of the Blue Ocean Tavern were not recovered!"

Gambling in Atlantic City has not yet been legalized, but this does not prevent the gambling industry from being one of Atlantic City's most important financial revenues.

Those who are impatient will inevitably do some irrational things. Things like robbing local stores are not uncommon in Atlantic City!

The police in Atlantic City are not very honest. If you have to describe their work style, you can refer to the police behavior before the establishment of the Hong Kong ICAC.

"But you just said clearly that you will be closed for two months!"

Although the purchase and sale of a gun is not a big deal to Allman, Downey's description just now does not reassure Allman. If Downey is really looking for the gun he bought here,

George Korle's trouble will cause trouble for himself too!

"I just stopped working for two months, it's not like I won't stay in Atlantic City!" Downey explained casually.

Allman thought for a moment and said: "No problem, pay 25 US dollars first, and then pay the remaining 25 US dollars when you see the goods tonight!"

Allman thought for a while, and finally chose to believe Downey. After all, as Downey said, George Korler is now the deputy security officer of Atlantic City. Unless Downey's brain caused the door of the tavern to be squeezed, otherwise it was

I won’t go looking for trouble with George Korle.

Donnie said exaggeratedly: "Dear Allman, can't you give me a cheaper price for this glass of rum?"

Allman smiled and raised his arms: "Satan above, what I give you is already the market price. If you don't want to, there's nothing you can do about it!"

The current price of a Colt 1911 is US$15, and with 50 rounds of ammunition it will definitely not reach US$50, but this is the price purchased at a weapons store, not the black market price.

Downey did not ask Allman to give him a discount. Instead, he opened the money drawer and took out a handful of scattered bills. However, after sorting it out, he found that these bills were only more than 20 US dollars.

As mentioned before, with the imminent implementation of Prohibition, alcohol prices across the country are now being reduced. The purchase price of a bottle of rum is only 1 US dollar, and the daily sales of the entire Korla Tavern are only 10 US dollars.

About U.S. dollars.

The profit is around US$3-4.

Helpless, Downey had no choice but to take out some cash he had saved from his jacket pocket and give it to Allman.

Allman put his right arm across the bar and took all the banknotes and coins into his arms. "I doubt you can give me the remaining $25 tonight?"

Donnie spread his hands and said with a smile: "I thought you would be so looking forward to it!"

If Allman comes up with what Downey wants tomorrow, but Downey doesn't come up with the remaining $50, then the $25 now belongs to Allman!

"If this is the case, I will consider believing in God again!" Allman joked first, and then said: "At night, when you close the door at night, what you need will be handed over to you!"
