Nucky now has a headache. Even though the people in Atlantic City have agreed with his suggestion to let Prohibition go to Atlantic City, he still has a headache.

Because until now, neither Bill Cody nor Ralph Rivers has been found. Without finding these two people, he cannot be officially released from suspicion, and the Brigadier General is biting him like a mad dog.

The power of Atlantic City.

"What is the Brigadier doing now?"

Rubbing his bald head, Nucky asked Louis.

Louis stood next to Nucky as he had for thousands of years and said softly: "The Commodore has been meeting with people from all walks of life in Atlantic City during this time. He just met LeBron from the North District this morning."

Hearing LeBron James's name, Nucky frowned slightly and asked, "Has he come to see us?"

Louis shook his head and said: "No!"

"Damn it, has he forgotten who made him the boss of Atlantic City's North Side?"

Even when Nucky was angry, he still didn't lose his composure, but he seemed to have no smile on his face.

Louis said: "Boss, you once told me that there are no permanent friends in this world, only eternal interests!"

Nucky said: "Tell LeBron that I will only let him in for all the local whiskey and rum in Atlantic City!"

Although LeBron James has shown signs of betraying Nucky, Nucky does not want to give up LeBron James, especially at this time.

Although the American Civil War has ended a long time ago, discrimination against black people in the United States is still very serious, and it is even more serious in the South, which was ruled by slave owners. Therefore, after the end of the Civil War, most black people in the United States moved to the North.

, mainly in large cities such as New York, Philadelphia, and Chicago.

But even so, these black people are still at the bottom of the class. In New Jersey and the city, there is a deep gap between black people and white people.

Most black Americans have been expelled to barren land, distributed along railway lines, creeks, garbage dumps, or behind mountains.

Most of these black people are engaged in unskilled hard labor and employment.

If there is any city that is relatively friendly to black people, then it is Atlantic City.

A large proportion of Atlantic City's black residents belong to the middle and upper classes compared with blacks in other areas.

In Atlantic City, the social structure of African American workers can be roughly divided into three classes. The upper class - hotel and boarding house operators or landlords, restaurant maitre d's, stewards, cooks, bellmen, wheelchair managers, and other places.

It’s unimaginable.

Middle class--waiters and waitresses, housekeepers, elevator operators, security guards, actors, musicians, entertainers, and performers.

Even for such positions, the proportion of black people in other places is not high.

Lower class - bellhops, restaurant busboys, concierges, dishwashers, kitchen helpers, wheelchair pushers, etc.

Even though these black people have received what they think is a class improvement in Atlantic City, in fact, their status in Atlantic City is still not enough.

This can be seen from the area where they live - North District!

Even those black people who have been upgraded and have good financial resources can still only live in the North District.

Among all the black people in the entire North Side of Atlantic City, there is one person similar to Nucky's status in Atlantic City, and this person is LeBron James!

On the surface, he is the owner of a hotel, but in fact he is also engaged in the private wine business and has a large brewing factory.

The reason why Nucky and the Commodore value him is not only because the other party owns a brewery, but more importantly, if they control LeBron James, they will control the votes of all black people in Atlantic City.

In the United States, you have everything if you have a vote!

Louis said: "If that's the case, I think LeBron will come over and kneel down to lick your shoes!"

Nucky sneered: "Then don't wipe my leather shoes then!"

After laughing, Nucky finally thought of Downey and asked: "Did Downey come to us?"

"No." Louis smiled and shook his head, and then said: "Donnie has been discussing with Scott next door about purchasing his tavern during this period. The two of them have almost reached an agreement, but I want to follow you

The decision spread in Atlantic City, Scott will not sell his tavern to Downey!"

Nucky nodded with satisfaction and said: "Now that Eli is injured, we lack some people who can do things around us. When Donnie comes to our side, we will have another helper with brains!"

Louis nodded first, and then reminded: "Judging from his previous performance, this person is not easy to be controlled!"

Nucky confidently said: "A capable person will always have some character, but don't worry, I will keep him by my side and observe him for a while. You know, I stayed by the Brigadier's side back then.

A whole ten years!"

Louis complimented: "How can he compare with you!"

Nucky's bad mood finally got better and he told Louis: "Don't worry too much about Downey. He will naturally bow to us when the time comes. The most important thing now is to keep an eye on the Brigadier. In addition,

The whiskey and rum we ship from Canada must also be stored. These will not only make us a lot of money, but also let the restless people in Atlantic City know who can bring them more.

Wealth!"

Louis nodded and said: "I have asked Qiao to lead people to guard the warehouse day and night. There will be no problem!"

"Very good!"

.

Atlantic City does not need Prohibition, and this news naturally reached the ears of various bar owners in Atlantic City at this time.

When these people heard the news, everyone had a bright smile on their face, and some even cheered in front of their own pub!

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

"I'm just saying Atlantic City can't live without good bars. To hell with Prohibition!"

Scott stood in front of his tavern, pointing his hands in the sky, and the excitement on his face was palpable.

At this time, the owners of several nearby taverns who behaved similarly to him were actually not just them, but even the owners of boarding houses and hotels were doing similar things.

After cheering, Scott's eyes turned to the side that had been renamed Bullock's Tavern, with ridicule in his eyes.

After thinking for a while, Scott walked into the Bullock Tavern. In the dim hall, Scott saw Downey chatting with his bartender Robert.

"Haha, did you hear the good news about Downey today?"

Scott proudly sat next to Downey.

Downey said calmly: "If you are talking about Atlantic City letting Prohibition go, I heard about it!"

Scott said excitedly: "This time we are probably going to usher in the golden age of Atlantic City!"

Downey has no objection to this. In fact, this is exactly the case. Although Atlantic City was already a very well-known tourist city before, it has always been short of becoming a top tourist city.

Things are different now. Alcohol is prohibited in the United States, with the exception of Atlantic City. When the alcoholics in Philadelphia and New York can't find alcohol in their own cities, they will think of Atlantic City, plus Atlantic City's supporting tourist facilities.

The traffic here will increase again.

And this will also increase the income of all walks of life in the city.

"So, you are not going to sell your tavern to me?"

After Downey took a sip of beer, he looked at Scott with interest.

"As long as you can give a suitable price, I will still sell it!" Scott said noncommittally.

Donnie smiled "haha" and said: "I think this suitable price will be much higher than the price we agreed on before, right?"

Scott nodded and said: "Of course, starting from today, not only will the wine in Atlantic City not disappear, but the price will definitely rise. The price of this pub will naturally rise as well!"

Donnie shook his head and said: "In this case, I can only say goodbye to your tavern!"

Regarding this unfinished business, Scott did not feel the slightest sadness, and said with a smile: "Actually, you are unlucky enough. If this news is delayed for a few days, my pub will be yours. As a result, not only do you lose

In order to get the chance to get my tavern, my business was delayed for more than a month."

After hearing this, Downey nodded, "This is indeed sad news!"

Scott smiled and said: "Of course, if you are willing, I can buy your pub at a suitable price!"

At this time, Scott believed that he had completed the identity exchange between the two parties. Atlantic City did not need Prohibition, so the tavern's business would definitely get better and better in the future.

Ever since Downey appeared in Atlantic City, he has been showing his stupidity to the entire Atlantic City people.

He actually chose to close his tavern when Atlantic City's tavern business was at its best.

"To be honest, Donny, your idea is good. Before Prohibition started, you could sell all the wine in your pub at once. I believe that during this time, all the liquor in all the pubs in Atlantic City would have been sold.

It’s almost done. If you buy some more pubs by then, maybe you will really be the price setter of alcohol in Atlantic City, and you can also make a lot of money by taking advantage of this advantage.

It’s a pity that you made the wrong calculation after all!”

Scott was happy that he could see through Donnie's little thoughts.

Downey remained unmoved by Scott's cynicism, and simply smiled and said: "Scott, if you still want to sell your tavern, I will give you a fair price when the time comes!"

Hearing what Downey said, Scott seemed to have heard some big joke and said: "I'd better give this to you!"

Donnie smiled indifferently.

The current situation is that people like Scott still only understand Atlantic City's abandonment of prohibition on the first level, Nucky and others are still on the second level, and he is already waiting for them on the third level!
