34. The complex distribution of forces in Atlantic City
"Mr. Bullock, I didn't expect us to meet so soon. Are you here to deliver good news to me?"
After meeting Downey, Elena sat in her chair. Looking at her calm expression, she didn't look like she had played poker with Downey.
Donnie naturally sat opposite Elena with a smile on his face.
"Elena, after I went back, I thought carefully for a long time and thought that simply letting Mr. Dorn become a state representative was too simple. It made me think that it was not worthy of you at all, Elena.
Cooperation with me!"
Elena Dorn looked at Downey solemnly and asked: "So what do you mean?"
Downey smiled and asked: "If Mr. Dorn can not only become a New Jersey state legislator, but also be promoted to a political judge in Atlantic City, I think this condition will be perfect for our cooperation!"
Brad Dorn, now a famous lawyer in Atlantic City!
Elena's expression changed. The previous indifference was gone, and a smile crept onto her cheeks. "If that's the case, I think Mr. Bullock must meet my husband!"
"I thought so too!"
Donnie smiled.
"Then tonight, I will personally cook and entertain Mr. Bullock?"
Elena extended an invitation to Downey.
Donnie shook his head and said: "Not tonight, I have an appointment tonight, let's do it tomorrow!"
Elena walked out of her desk with her skirt in hand, and sat in Donnie's arms just like last time. Although her expression was more charming, her voice was still cold.
"I think, Donnie, you're not just here to tell me about this matter!"
.
That night, Downey met Mobley, the leader of the Ku Klux Klan in Atlantic City, at the home of William James!
Mobley Hawk, 43 years old, white male, owner of the Hawk Hotel in Atlantic City, a staunch supporter of the South, has said more than once that if he had been born a few decades earlier, he would have gone to the South to join their army.
.
"Mr. Bullock's reputation in Atlantic City has been booming recently. I didn't expect that he would do business with us!"
Mobley was wearing a gray suit and looked like a Western aristocrat.
Downey sat opposite Mobley and said calmly: "Why not? I am a businessman. Since I am a businessman, I naturally have to do business. As for who we are doing business with, that doesn't matter at all.
, because dollar bills are the most wonderful thing in the world!"
Mobley nodded and said: "But as far as we know, Nucky has handed over the entire Atlantic City liquor business to that nigger LeBron. Mr. Bullock, can you disobey Nucky's order?"<
/p>
Downey said nonchalantly: "At this moment, Nucky gave LeBron a chance, but LeBron didn't seize it. Now his brewery has been destroyed again, and he wants to supply the entire Atlantic City in a short time.
Drinks are simply out of the question. I think when I bring this up to Nucky, Nucky will be very happy!"
"Why do I think Mr. Bullock is the lobbyist invited by Nucky? Next, do you want to say that if we agree to the deal with you, then we can't cause trouble with LeBron?"
p>
Mobley looked at Downey with a normal expression, as if he wanted to see into Downey's heart.
"Oh my God!" Downey raised his hands exaggeratedly and said loudly: "Mr. Hawke, how could you have such an idea? Don't you know that I am also in a competitive relationship with LeBron? To be honest, only LeBron
The more unlucky Brown is, the happier I will be!"
Mobley nodded with satisfaction, "But I think Nucky will definitely not give up his vote for the North District!"
Why are there so many black people in Atlantic City, and Mobley only attacks LeBron? Not only because LeBron has moonshine in his hands, but more importantly, LeBron James is the most influential black man in Atlantic City.
As a white supremacist, Mobley cannot see a black man being equal to him no matter what!
This is his persistence in his bones, and he will not give up this choice just because of who is standing behind LeBron.
In other words, even if LeBron falls, when Nucky supports a new big shot in the North District, this big shot will still be the one Mobley is targeting.
"That's your business. I'm just a businessman, so I want to ask now, Mr. Hawke, do you want to do this business with us?"
Mobley nodded first, then shook his head and said: "We have been doing this business for a long time. I think Mr. Bullock, you are here to make a special trip. It won't be as simple as just talking about business with me, right?"
Downey laughed and nodded: "It's a pleasure to chat with Mr. Hawke. My cooperation conditions are very simple. I hope Mr. Hawke can use your influence in Atlantic City to get my friend out of the security department.
At the same time, in the next period of time, don’t bother LeBron anymore!”
Mobley, who had been smiling just now, now lost the smile on his face, "There is no problem in fishing out a friend for Mr. Bullock, but it is impossible for me not to cause trouble for LeBron."
Of!"
Downey still looked at Mobley calmly and said, "Mr. Hawke, I just hope that you won't go looking for trouble with LeBron for the time being, instead of never looking for it. In fact, I made this condition for your sake.
I think you must have received a lot of calls from Nucky in the past two days.
And I have also heard that Eli has been busy with something within the security department recently. It is difficult to guarantee that their final target will not be you!"
Mobley looked solemn. What Downey said really spoke to his heart. He received calls from Nucky almost every day these days. He also understood how important LeBron was to Nucky, but they just endured it.
No black man could eat in the same restaurant as them.
The Ku Klux Klan does have a lot of influence in Atlantic City, which is what Nucky needs, but everyone also knows Nucky.
What Nucky needs is an obedient and influential group. If he continues to fight against the other party, it is difficult to guarantee that Nucky will not find an obedient person to become the leader of the Klan!
In fact, this is also the case in history. Mobley has always adhered to his inner persistence. No matter how Nucky persuaded him, Nucky had no choice but to let Eli Johnson directly
Mobley was captured and never released again.
"There is no need to worry about having no firewood to keep the green hills. This is an ancient Eastern proverb. Now Mr. Hawke, you have dealt a heavy blow to LeBron's arrogance, and also bombed his winery. In a short time, LeBron is
It’s hard to get up again, which is already good.
When our business gets better and better, Nucky will have to look at us face to face. Maybe by then, there is no need for LeBron to exist, right?"
Downey's words made Mobley smile again, so he picked up the whiskey William had just brought and raised his glass.
"Then I wish you a happy cooperation between us!"
"Happy cooperation!" Downey also raised his glass.
.
"Mobley has this influence in Atlantic City, can he disrupt the Commodore's arrangements?"
John took Donnie to the second floor of Block Tavern and handed over the business of the hall to Magage and Chris.
Donnie sat on the bed and did not answer John's words, but asked him: "Should we find a house outside?"
With the arrival of Magage and Chris, the Bullock Tavern is almost full of space.
John said anxiously: "This matter is not important. What I want to ask is, can Mobley really rescue Robert?"
Downey could only answer John's question: "Don't underestimate Mobley's influence in Atlantic City, and don't overestimate the Brigadier General's current influence in Atlantic City, although Mobley has not yet
The method is the same as that of the Brigadier General, but the Brigadier still has to give Mobley credit!"
"So Robert can come out?" John rubbed his hands and said excitedly. Although Robert always made provocations to John when he was here, the relationship between the two was still undisclosed!
At this moment, Downey shook his head and poured cold water on John: "If it's just the Brigadier, Mobley can release Robert, but if Nucky is added, Mobley's influence is not enough!"
"What?"
John, who was still excited just now, suddenly showed a worried expression again when he heard what Downey said. However, after seeing the confident smile on his brother's face, he could only say helplessly.
"Okay, my smart brother, tell me what you are thinking all at once, you know my brain is not enough!"
Downey stood up, patted John on the shoulder, and said: "This matter is very complicated and involves the rights and interests of all parties. Even if I tell you, you won't understand it, but I can assure you that the day after tomorrow, the day after tomorrow Robert
It will definitely come out!"
"Well, if he doesn't come out, I will use my own methods to rescue him!"
Downey smiled and said: "There will be no such opportunity!"
After pushing John out of his room, Downey lay on the bed, looking at the yellowed ceiling. What came to his ears was the noisy sound downstairs. Although John didn't say anything about moving out just now, Downey already had it.
I think I won't be able to stay here for too long.
In fact, if it hadn't been for LeBron's brewery being bombed and Robert being arrested, Downey would have moved out by now.
