In David Jabbar's office, Downey and David Jabbar sat opposite each other, both holding cigars in their hands.
Looking at the two people chatting and laughing there, it is absolutely unbelievable that both of them want to kill each other.
"Donnie, you are a rare guest here!"
David Jabbar said with a bright smile.
"I think I will definitely come here often in the future!" Danny said with a hint.
David Jabbar obviously did not hear what Downey meant, and continued happily: "Welcome, welcome, I believe Downey you will come to my place often in the future!"
Although David Jabbar did not hear what Downey meant, from his own perspective, he believed that when he captured Isiah, Downey's villa business would be finished.
"By the way, I don't know, Donnie, do you want to play a few games when you come here this time, or do you want to try the service on the fourth floor of our pub?"
Downey waved his hand and said: "No, I came here mainly to inform you, Mr. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, that starting from today, the deal between us will probably change!"
David Jabbar's face changed slightly and asked: "What do you mean?"
Downey smiled easily: "It's actually a very simple matter. The whiskey we sold to Mr. Jabbar before was $4 a bottle. Now, due to the shortage and price increase of raw materials, we will give it to you Mr. Jabbar in the future."
Delivery is only US$8 per bottle, and a box contains twelve bottles, which is US$96 per box. But we are old friends after all, so I’ll give you a discount, US$95 per box!”
Before Prohibition, the price of a bottle of top-quality whiskey was only two dollars. With the implementation of Prohibition and the closure of a large number of distilleries across the United States, the price of whiskey has already risen. Even for wholesalers like Downey, each bottle
The price of wine has risen to US$4 a bottle.
Not to mention retail sales in the pub!
Now Downey has doubled the price again, directly wiping out David Jabbar's profits. Not only that, David Jabbar also has to advance money.
It is naturally impossible for David Jabbar to accept such a price.
"Brock, today is not April Fool's Day, this joke is not funny at all!" David Jabbar said with a sullen face.
Donnie spread his hands and said, "Of course I know today is not April Fool's Day, so I'm not kidding you."
David Jabbar said: "You know I will never agree to this price."
Downey said again nonchalantly: "Of course, it's your freedom to agree or disagree with the price. After all, the great United States of America is a free country, but it's my freedom whether to supply you or not!"
"Did you do this because of Isiah?"
In David Jabbar's view, Downey suddenly raised the price this time because he did something to Isiah.
"Who is Isiah?" Downey shook his head without blushing and said, "I don't know this person!"
David Jabbar said coldly: "Don't forget, you are not the only one who can serve drinks in Atlantic City!"
Downey smiled "haha" and said: "Of course, Mr. Jabbar, are you sure you want to give up cooperation with us?"
"Send off!" David Jabbar did not answer Downey's words, but told Downey his answer with his own attitude!
Downey stood up with a smile on his face and said indifferently: "I think Mr. Jabbar, you will come to me soon, and then I will let you see what true hospitality is!"
After saying that, Downey got up and left David Jabbar's study.
"Boss, we don't have enough wine in the pub. Today is the day when Downey will give us drinks!" Nate reported to David Jabbar after Downey left.
"Go contact LeBron James and ask him to send us wine starting today!"
David Jabbar waved his hands helplessly.
Nate nodded and left David Jabbar's room.
After Nate left, David Jabbar called AJ's home phone number. Since Downey had already found out, he had nothing to hide.
We must get Isaiah's power into our hands as soon as possible.
As a result, after the call was dialed, no one answered the call.
This makes David Jabbar even more irritable.
I had no choice but to call my bodyguard and ask him to go to AJ's home and ask about AJ's specific situation.
When he was the only one left in the office, David Jabbar finally calmed down his anger and began to seriously analyze Downey's actions.
Soon, David Jabbar determined one thing, that is, Donny Bullock must know something about his relationship with Nucky and the Brigadier General, so he dared to raise the price with him at this time.
"How did he know?"
David Jabbar thought helplessly. What frightened him even more about this incident was that if Downey knew something, how much would Nucky know?
Nucky had only come to his place once since he came back from Washington. Although Nucky didn't say anything at the time, it could be seen that Nucky must have known that he was the one who persuaded Eli Johnson to let Vince McGrady go.
Although he has chosen to side with the brigadier general, David Jabbar can't help but start to worry when he thinks that he needs to face Nucky's revenge!
"Mr. Brigadier General, I need to meet with you as soon as possible!"
Nucky cannot face him by himself, so David Jabbar must find his own backstage help.
"Is there something wrong?" The brigadier general's lazy voice came from the other side of the phone.
"A very important thing!" David Jabbar said seriously.
"Okay, I'll wait for you at home!" the brigadier general replied.
.
In the Brigadier's villa.
"Mr. Brigadier General, now that Downey dares to mention the price increase to me so blatantly, he must know something. I think Nucky must also know something. When will the federal agents be able to investigate Nucky?"
File charges?"
After meeting the brigadier general, David Jabbar quickly told the brigadier general what had just happened and his analysis.
An important reason that allowed David Jabbar to switch to the Brigadier General was actually that David Jabbar learned that federal agents had begun an investigation into Nucky.
"Don't worry, the federal agent's investigation will take time!"
The brigadier reassured.
"But my current situation, if Nucky takes action against me, I..." David Jabbar said worriedly. Before betraying Nucky, David Jabbar had many thoughts about getting rid of Nucky.
, his own glorious life, but when he really needed to face Nucky, he lost the confidence he had before.
"I know Nucky!" the Brigadier said slowly: "If Nucky really wanted to deal with you, he would have already started to attack you after he came back from Washington, but he has not taken action directly until now.
This shows that he is still very afraid of you and our strength."
At this point, the brigadier general paused for a moment before continuing: "And don't forget, there is an ace in your hand!"
David Jabbar asked: "You mean Eli?"
The brigadier general nodded and said without hesitation: "Yes, although Eli Johnson is a fool, he is Nucky's brother after all, and he is the Sheriff of Atlantic City. Nucky wants to perfectly control Atlantic City.
, you need the strength of your younger brother. As long as Eli stands firmly on your side, Nucky will not really attack you!"
This is actually the reason why later on, even though Nucky knew that his brother Eli Johnson had betrayed him, he still kept Eli Johnson alive. If he wanted to perfectly control Atlantic City, he must have security in his hands.
Strength.
After hearing the brigadier general's analysis, David Jabbar breathed a sigh of relief, but then he said helplessly: "But I have told Eli many times, but he has never made up his mind."
"You have to give him some time." The Brigadier was not worried about this matter, but continued to smile: "Since he did not tell Nucky about this matter, and did not warn you, it means that this person
In fact, we are already tempted, and the current hesitation is just because we don’t have enough chips!”
David Jabbar nodded again and asked: "But now we can't delay any longer!"
The brigadier general also understood this truth and said: "Let's do this, invite Eli Johnson to my place tonight, and I will talk to him personally!"
"This is the best!" David Jabbar said happily.
.
"Eli, we have always believed in your ability. If it weren't for Nucky's constant suppression, you would still be the mayor of Atlantic City even if you were not a state legislator.
Moreover, I am getting older, and I actually don’t have much energy anymore. When I get older, Atlantic City will not be what you say!”
That night, Eli Johnson appeared at the Brigadier General's villa, and now the Brigadier General was persuading him.
"Mr. Brigadier General, please don't mention this matter again. Nucky is my brother, and I will not betray him!" Eli Johnson said coldly.
The brigadier general didn't care about Eli Johnson's remarks. If the other party really thought so, he wouldn't be here tonight.
"Dear Eli, we don't want to do anything to Nucky, we just hope that Nucky can divide some power in his hands. What's more, would you like to hear someone introduce you like this every time you go out?
?
This is Nucky's brother Eli Johnson from Atlantic City!"
Upon hearing this title, Eli Johnson's expression changed again.
At this time, David Jabbar also said: "Dear Eli, now Nucky has started to take action against us. AJ in the West District is the best example. Although AJ and others have not been found yet, I think they should have already
Disappeared.
In addition, Donny raised the price for us and LeBron James refused to serve us alcohol. How could Donny have the courage to do these three things without Nucky supporting him behind the scenes?"
In the afternoon, David Jabbar already knew about AJ and LeBron James.
Although he didn't know that AJ was dead, he also understood that AJ and others were definitely in danger.
After hearing David Jabbar's words, Eli Johnson fell silent.
ps: It’s quite embarrassing to fail to advance in the second round. The collection data is very good, but it’s a bit embarrassing to read back. It was 270 on Monday, 220 on Tuesday, and 285 on Wednesday. It perfectly avoided the promotion data on Tuesday, but it doesn’t matter.
Chapter completed!
