Nucky's sudden arrival made the atmosphere in the private room become subtle.

Especially David Jabbar. He didn't expect that Downey would actually know Nucky. While his face was embarrassed, he even glanced at Eli Johnson quietly.

Eli Johnson didn't know that Nucky had always wanted to take Downey into his employ. He stood up and asked, "Do you know Downey?"

Nucky looked at Eli Johnson with some blame and said: "At this time, shouldn't you be investigating what is happening in Atlantic City with the security department? Why are you here?"

Facing Nucky's accusation, a trace of anger flashed deep in Eli Johnson's eyes, but this anger was fleeting and no one present noticed it.

Then Eli Johnson said easily: "I know, I'm going to investigate this matter now!"

After saying that, Eli Johnson picked up his coat and left the room without saying hello to anyone in the room.

When he saw Eli Johnson leaving the private room, David Jabbar knew that his idea today was impossible to realize.

"Dear Nucky, I still have some business at the bar, so I'm leaving now!"

Nucky nodded with a smile and said: "David, don't worry, as one of the best taverns in Atlantic City, the Folly Tavern will never be short of whiskey and rum!"

This is a kind of promise in disguise.

David Jabbar immediately smiled and said, "Thanks Nucky!"

Then David Jabbar also left the private room. Just when Allman was about to find a reason to leave, Nucky had already spoken in advance.

"Allman, I know you. You have done very well in the past two years and you are a good helper to us!"

Allman's fat body immediately began to tremble wildly, as if he had taken a big mouthful of honey, and his fat face was squeezed into a flower by his own smile.

"This is what I should do!"

Nucky continued to smile and said: "I know you initiated the party tonight, do you mind if I sit here for a while?"

"Of course!" Allman said quickly: "This is my honor!"

After Nucky sat down, he smiled and said to Donnie: "Donnie, your behavior shocked me, but at the same time, I admire you very much!"

Downey knew that Nucky had already smoothed out all his previous plans, so he didn't have much to worry about, even though he had deceived Nucky.

Downey also studied Nucky of Atlantic City. He is a very sophisticated man, but he is also very clear about his own needs.

What Nucky demands is that no one can challenge his position in Atlantic City or damage his wealth.

As long as these two points are not involved, Nucky is still very generous to people...after all, he has to maintain his character as a gentleman!

Downey also understood that what Nucky wanted was to take him under his wing, so he made all the previous arrangements. The more successful he was, the more Nucky would appreciate him.

To put it bluntly, in fact, Downey now poses no threat to Nucky. If his performance falls on the Brigadier's head, I'm afraid he won't be greeted by Nucky's smile.

"Actually, I also want to find a chance to apologize to you, Nucky."

Listening to the conversation between Downey and Nucky, Allman was confused. He didn't understand when Downey got connected with Nucky, and it seemed that the relationship between the two was very good.

"At first you told me that you were going to use my borrowed money to buy pubs in Atlantic City, but in fact what you were doing was buying whiskey and rum. In fact, I was curious. Did you already know that at that time?

Will my warehouse be bombed?"

When Nucky said this, although there was still a smile on his face, Allman clearly felt the coldness in Nucky's tone.

"I just want to make some money. In fact, whether it's buying a tavern or buying whiskey and rum, it's all based on my judgment of the current situation in Atlantic City. As for blowing up Nucky's warehouse, that's not my kind.

The things that people can do are also things that I cannot do!"

Downey replied calmly, not at all overwhelmed by Nucky's momentum.

Nucky's forehead slightly tilted, and his bright head reflected the light in the private room.

"So, when you bought the Blue Ocean Tavern and now you buy Scott's Tavern, are you actually doing it to show me?"

Downey smiled and said: "So, Mr. Nucky admitted that you allowed them to raise the price in the first place?"

Nucky did not refute the question, but continued: "I heard that you not only purchased a large amount of whiskey and rum, but also purchased a batch of brewing equipment and raw materials?"

Allman, who had been unable to say anything, looked at Downey in shock. He didn't expect that Downey had prepared so much?

It can be analyzed from the conversation between the two that Downey borrowed a sum of money from Nucky before, and used the money not only to purchase whiskey and rum, but also to purchase brewing equipment.

But at that time, not many people in Atlantic City knew about Atlantic City’s attitude towards Prohibition?

"This is a big gamble!"

Orman couldn't help but think.

"It's true. Sure enough, nothing can be hidden from you in Atlantic City, Nucky!" Downey nodded and said bluntly.

Nucky actually just sorted out everything today. Originally, in this situation, Nucky didn't have time to notice Donnie.

All his thoughts were on how to quickly replenish the missing wine this time, make up for his losses, and at the same time make a countermeasure against the brigadier general's action against him.

It was Louis who told Nucky that Downey was selling some of his whiskey and rum to the Atlantic City saloon.

After Nucky heard this, he quickly figured out Donnie's real plan.

"Sure enough, he is a smart man!" After hearing what Louis told, Nucky couldn't help but praise, "Donnie has actually been misleading us before. He told us that he wanted to use the 1,000 he borrowed from us.

We bought the tavern with US dollars, but neither of us had any doubts at the time, and I even asked you to greet the owner of the tavern!"

After saying that, Nucky couldn't help but laugh.

On the contrary, Louis said with some dissatisfaction: "Boss, he is obviously lying to us. As long as you say something, I will have someone deal with him now!"

Nucky sat there, waved his hands, and said with a smile: "No, I like smart people, and they are also smart people with a sense of proportion. I lack such people among my men!"

"But will this make us laugh at others?" Louis expressed his opinion.

Nucky looked up at Louis and asked: "Who knows about this except the two of us. I believe Downey will definitely not tell it. And didn't you find out? Downey's decision this time has given us something to gain."

Some loyalty?"

There was a question mark above Louis' head.

Nucky could only continue to explain: "We asked the Blue Ocean Tavern to increase their selling price, but the owner of the Blue Ocean Tavern didn't know why we asked them to do this. After Atlantic City's attitude towards Prohibition is released, the Blue Ocean Tavern will

The tavern owner will definitely think that we are doing this for their own benefit."

Louis thought he was quite smart, but at this time he really didn't understand what Nucky meant.

Although he couldn't understand this point, Louis understood another point, that is, his boss was not only not angry because of Downey's little tricks, but actually appreciated Downey more and more!

The screen returns to the private room of the Reitz Hotel.

Faced with Donnie's compliment, Nucky just smiled indifferently and said, "It's a pity that I knew it too late!"

At this point, Nucky paused and said, "Donnie, I'd like to discuss a cooperation with you."

What Louis didn't understand, Donnie had already figured out. As the ruler of Atlantic City, Nucky had no shortage of people under his command. The reason why Nucky showed such appreciation for him at this time was actually more.

The reason is that the abilities he showed during this period made Nucky understand that he is a smart person.

More importantly, Nucky is sure he can control himself.

The latter reason is more important.

"Of course, I don't think anyone in Atlantic City can refuse to cooperate with you, Nucky!" Downey said calmly.

The smile on Nucky's face became brighter and brighter, and he said with a smile: "Your father makes whiskey and rum in Elwood Village. Although with the implementation of Prohibition, there will still be a certain degree of shortage even in Atlantic City, so I

Now we need your father’s rum and whiskey!”

Downey naturally has no objection to Nucky's proposal. If he can cooperate with Nucky, then there will be no shortage of sales for his wine.

Downey has always valued sales not just in Atlantic City, but in the United States.

"I think Mr. Nucky, you must have your own conditions, right?"

Although Downey welcomes cooperation with Nucky, Downey also understands that Nucky is not the God in the church and will cooperate with him without any conditions.

"Haha!" Nucky laughed again, "I just like to deal with smart people. In fact, I have already handed over the moonshining business in Atlantic City to LeBron James."

"So my wine has to be given to LeBron first?"

Downey said with understanding that Nucky's authority in Atlantic City could not be challenged. Since Nucky had previously decided to hand over Atlantic City's moonshine brewing business to LeBron James, within the confines of Atlantic City, Nucky

There is no need for another moonshine brewer to challenge his authority.

But Nucky needs someone to curb LeBron James and make him understand that he is not the only moonshine brewer, so the appearance of Downey can be said to have solved a big problem for Nucky now.

Nucky nodded and did not object to Donnie's words, and then talked to Donnie about the price.

In terms of price, Nucky lowered the price, which is higher than the current price and lower than the price Donnie had previously booked.

Faced with this problem, Downey simply thought about it and agreed to Nucky's request. There was nothing he could do about it. He was not as strong as others, so sometimes he needed to keep a low profile.

"Very good, we will be partners from now on!" Nucky saw that everything was settled, so he stood up and left!

Downey and Allman sent him to the door. When Nucky left, Allman looked at Downey with a mixture of embarrassment, admiration, and a lot of doubts.
