28, eliminate the impact
Donnie never thought that his trip to the Commodore's house for the dinner could be hidden from Nucky.
The Brigadier invited him with such great fanfare, how could Nucky, who was always paying attention to the Brigadier's situation, not know about it.
So when Downey met Nucky, he told Nucky the matter straight to the point.
"America is an extremely free country, with freedom of speech and free making of friends." After hearing Downey's account, Nucky said with a relaxed face: "Donny, you don't need to tell me these things."

But then, Nucky added: "Of course, Donnie, you can give me this matter at high speed, I am very happy, after all, we are true friends!"
Downey sat opposite Nucky, facing Nucky who was upright and upright, with a smile on his face and said: "I believe that even if I don't tell you, Mr. Nucky, you will know!"
Nucky smiled and didn't say anything. He just looked at Donnie and asked, "I don't think you just came here to tell me about this, Donnie?"
Downey nodded and said, "That's right, I want to change the way I cooperate with James!"
Prohibition had just begun, even though Atlantic City had already announced that Prohibition should be implemented in Atlantic City, and appointed LeBron James as the only moonshine brewer in Atlantic City. Before that, Nucky found Downey to cooperate.
They also want Downey to sell his wine reserves to LeBron James first.
But the current alcohol market in Atlantic City is still in a chaotic stage.
Therefore, Downey only sold part of his private wine to James at the time, and later sold it himself. However, in times of panic, there is always a time to calm down.
If by this time, Downey still cannot get the promise of the underground emperor of Atlantic City, then he will need to continue to cooperate with LeBron James according to the rules set by Nucky. The result will be that the two of them will continue to exploit
Your own interests!
"Are you asking for my help?"
Nucky did not answer Downey's question directly, but asked Downey aloud.
Downey did not show any words this time, and nodded happily: "Of course, but I am more willing to regard this conversation as a deal between us!"
"Deal?" Nucky laughed and said a little frivolously: "I don't think you can provide me with any benefits in this matter, just like what you said about George before!"<
/p>
Downey waved his hand and said: "There are advantages. First of all, the quality of the moonshine from my distillery is definitely higher than that from LeBron James's moonshine factory. I don't think Mr. Nucky wants to hear from people outside."
Isn’t it true that the rum in Atlantic City can kill someone?
Secondly, although my quality is better than LeBron's, I can guarantee that our price is consistent with LeBron's.
Finally, I have heard an old Eastern proverb, eggs cannot be put in one basket. If LeBron James is the only one in Atlantic City who provides moonshine, the other party may be flattered and arrogant. If one day the other party really
I'm siding with the Brigadier. I think Mr. Nucky will be very unhappy then!"
Nucky did not answer Downey's question immediately. Instead, he tapped the table gently. It was obvious that he was seriously considering Downey's suggestion.
However, thinking of LeBron James's influence in the North District and his confidence in his power in Atlantic City, Nucky ultimately rejected Downey's cooperation invitation.
"Thank you very much, Donnie, for telling me all this, but I am a man of integrity. Since I have said before that only LeBron James can brew moonshine in Atlantic City, then this decision cannot be made."
Change, so I cannot agree to your cooperation!"
Downey showed a disappointed expression and said: "Mr. Nucky, one day you will regret your decision today!"
"Haha!" Nucky laughed again: "Young man, don't doubt my influence in Atlantic City!"
Donnie nodded, stood up and said goodbye to Nucky!
After Downey left, Louis, who was standing next to Nucky, showed a puzzled expression. Since Nucky admired Downey, why did he reject Downey again this time? Moreover, he thought what Downey said was very reasonable!
p>
However, although Louis was curious, he still did not ask Nucky.
After Downey walked out of the Ritz Hotel, the regret on his face immediately disappeared. From the moment he walked into the Ritz Hotel, Downey knew that Nucky would definitely not agree to his cooperation.
The most important thing is LeBron James' influence in the North District. Downey believes what he said, and Nucky must have thought about it, but he doesn't want to give up LeBron James' influence in the North District and wants to launch it again in the North District.
When a LeBron James comes out, this is a very cumbersome thing.
More importantly, what I said to LeBron last night, I believe that LeBron James has already contacted Nucky today.
And he must have made some kind of promise to Nucky.
Under these conditions, it is impossible for Nucky to give up LeBron James.
"It seems that this time, Nucky can at least make him believe in himself for a while!"
Downey looked back at the restaurant of the Reitz Hotel. He didn't know if Nucky would be looking at him from the window on the ninth floor, but Downey understood that his purpose of coming this time was achieved.
In fact, the bigger reason why he came to see Nucky was to eliminate the lingering effects of his dinner at the Commodore's house last night.
As for how his private liquor can still enter Atlantic City after experiencing this period of chaos, Downey actually already has a plan.
So after leaving the Reitz Hotel, Downey did not return to Block Tavern. Instead, he went to a clothing store on the boardwalk and bought two pairs of winter clothes. Then he bought some coal and asked the store to deliver it to the West End Mar.
Gretel's home.

"No, no, I can't accept these things!"
Margaret looked at the winter items that Donnie had sent. Even though these things were what she needed urgently now, she still wanted to refuse Donnie.
There was one thing that Margaret did not tell anyone. On that day when Downey left her home and Margaret came back from meeting Elena Dorn, she knelt at home alone and began to apologize to God devoutly.
Because since then, she found that Downey would appear in her heart from time to time.
This frightened Margaret.
"No, you deserve these things!" Downey said seriously: "Margaret, you know, I am not only the owner of a tavern, but also the president of the Atlantic City Mutual Aid and Friendship Association, and you are not only
The organizer of the Mutual Aid and Friendship Association is also my friend. If we can't even help our own people, then is there any reason to establish this association in Atlantic City?"
Downey's words made Margaret unable to refuse. As for whether she really wanted to refuse in her heart, it is unknown.
Sitting in Margaret's home, Downey drank the coffee that Margaret poured and said slowly.
"Actually, I'm here to come to you this time, and I have one more thing I hope to get your help with!"
Margaret said with some fear: "I don't know if there is anything I can do to help you!"
"Of course!" Downey smiled gently: "Have you forgotten the invitation you sent to me before? Giving a speech is actually a very difficult thing for me. After all, I am not a person.
I am a person who is good at expressing myself with words, so this time I hope to get your help, Margaret, and work with me to discuss this speech!"
"So that's what happened!" After hearing Downey's request, Margaret sounded a little regretful, and then smiled and said: "Of course there is no problem, I know you don't like to be in the alcohol business.
You just need to speak out your true thoughts and that’s it!”
Donnie nodded and said: "But it always requires a systematic plan."
After Margaret said "hmm", she asked Downey to dictate her speech first.
In this way, the two began to discuss the specific content of Downey's speech at WCTU a few days later at Margaret's home.
Because of this discussion, the two people, who were originally more than a meter apart, got closer and closer. At this time, Downey could smell her faint body fragrance.
When the discussion between the two ended, Margaret realized that she was already next to Downey.
Then, with a reddish complexion, he stood up and left Tangny's body without leaving a trace, no longer letting the smell of Tangny's hormones disturb his heart.
Downey stood up pretending not to know, took out 200 US dollars from his pocket, and put it on the table.
Seeing Donny's action, Margaret quickly refused, "Donny, I will help you because we are friends. If you do this, I will feel that I am not your friend!"
p>
At this time, Downey directly grabbed Margaret's hand in a domineering manner. This slightly rude action made Margaret bump into each other, and Downey put the money in her hand.
"It is because we are friends that you accept this money. Do you want me to watch my friend starve? If this is the case, God will not forgive me!"
After finishing speaking, Downey let go of Margaret's hand, and then continued: "Unless you want God to punish me!"
"Of course not!"
Margaret immediately retorted.
"Why don't you just take it? Aren't friends supposed to help each other?"
After saying that, Downey turned around and left Margaret's house.
Margaret did not go to see Donnie off this time, but stood in her living room, feeling the long-lost warmth, and the waves in her heart became more and more turbulent!
