69, Cooperation with Eli
The arrest of David Jabbar did not lead to the temporary closure of Fuli Tavern, but the business of Fuli Tavern is indeed not very good now.
The supply of drinks is insufficient, the gamblers are sluggish, and because those women betrayed David Jabbar, the business of prostitutes in the Folly Hotel is also not very good.
It was now approaching noon. Nate looked at the listless look of the waiters in the tavern and clapped his hands vigorously. When everyone's attention was attracted, Nate shouted loudly.
"Everyone, Fuli Tavern has indeed encountered some problems at this stage, but you have to believe me, the problems can always be solved. Don't believe the news spread by the outside world. Being taken away by federal agents is not a big problem.
There is no way Wei will give up the Fuli Tavern!"
Nate's words made some waiters look hopeful, but some still asked cautiously.
"Nate, many people are now saying that in order to reduce his prison sentence, David decided to make the Commodore and Nucky's guilt public. Is this true?"
"Of course not!" Nate immediately denied: "Didn't I just say it? David will not give up Atlantic City, and we all know the relationship between David and the Commodore. After David was taken away
, the brigadier general has already called Washington. I believe David will be back soon, and by then all the rumors will be broken!
All we have to do now is do our job well and wait for David’s return!”
Although it is still not certain whether what Nate said is credible, at least his speech made the situation at the scene slightly more stable.
"That's very good. I need a manager like this to run my pub!"
As a result, just when everyone was getting ready to go to work, Downey walked in applauding, followed by John, Robert and others.
If it were in the past, when Nate saw Downey coming with such great force, he would definitely go over and ask him very sternly what he wanted to do.
But with David Jabbar being taken away, Nate lost his biggest support. Under such circumstances, when he saw Downey, his momentum was already three points weaker!
"Mr. Bullock, why are you here? Do you want something to drink?"
"I'm afraid the variety of drinks in your Fuli Tavern is not as comprehensive as that of our Bullock Tavern, right?" John directly turned on the taunting function.
Donnie glared at John, "Nate will be our colleague in the future, so talk to him!"
John spread his hands.
Nate then remembered what Downey said. He thought that Downey came here to recruit him: "Mr. Bullock is very sorry, I will not leave the Folly Tavern!"
"This is the best!" Downey nodded with satisfaction: "From today on, I will be the owner of Fuli Tavern. You can continue to be your manager with peace of mind!"
Nate's expression suddenly changed: "Mr. Bullock, this joke is not funny at all!"
Downey didn't waste any time. He directly took out David Jabbar's equity transfer letter and said with a smile: "Look, although I often tell jokes, this time it's not a joke. I have already negotiated with David. The two of us have reached an agreement."
We reached this equity transaction at a price that satisfies both parties!”
Nate's eyes were full of disbelief, but when he carefully identified the content above, he had to believe that it had David Jabbar's signature and fingerprints on it, as well as a lawyer's certificate.
All contents indicate that this is an equity transfer letter with legal effect.
"No, no, David Jabbar will not give up the Folly Tavern!" Nate can't believe this is true.
Downey smiled and said: "This shows that you don't understand David Jabbar. Well, my dear Mr. Manager, now you can manage this pub properly. Drinks will be delivered soon and gamblers will come to the door."
, with girls doing business, this place will once again become the most luxurious tavern in Atlantic City."
After finishing speaking, Downey changed the subject and continued: "Of course, before doing all this, I need to take a look at the financial situation of the pub and its cash reserves, so now please come with me to David Jabbar
office!"
David Jabbar was taken away so suddenly that he naturally did not have time to take away his cash reserves. Therefore, according to what David Jabbar told Downey before in Elwood Village, there were still 20,000 yuan stored in his office.
Where’s the US dollar cash!
Downey was naturally disrespectful of the cash.
Nate followed Donnie to the third floor in a daze...David Jabbar's office is on the third floor.
But at the same time, at this time, there was a waiter in the tavern who sneaked out of the tavern when no one was paying attention and went straight to the security department.
Half an hour later, Eli Johnson, wearing uniform and leading a team of men, arrived at the Fuli Tavern aggressively.
At this time, Downey, who had received the cash and put it in a safe place, was already waiting for Eli Johnson on the first floor of the pub.
"There must be illegal operations in this matter. I don't believe that David Jabbar will transfer the shares of Fuli Tavern to you. If you can't give me a reasonable explanation today, Brad Dorn is here. I
I will take you away too!"
Eli Johnson was almost going crazy. Everything was now beyond his control. This feeling made him feel surprisingly angry even when he was frightened!
"So, Mr. Johnson, do you want to challenge the federal constitution? And don't forget that the Folly Tavern is now mine... Our private place is protected by law. If there is no evidence,
Under such circumstances, if you make such an inference, let me think about how many crimes I can accuse you of?
Ah, breaking into someone else's property and infringing on personal assets should be one, but I forgot the specific name.
There is also slander, yes, it is slander, I can sue you for slander!"

Downey's eyes are clear, and it is precisely because of their clarity that Eli Johnson can see the disdain in them.
"So you're going to arrest me?" Eli Johnson finished speaking, and his men raised their pistols.
Learning from what happened last time he went to Block Tavern, Eli Johnson had successfully brainwashed these people when he led his men there.
But Downey did not indulge them. Representatives such as John and others also took out their own weapons at this time, and they were also long guns, which were much more sophisticated in weapons than those brought by Eli Johnson.<
/p>
Looking at the situation at the scene, Downey was very happy. He simply loved these laws in the United States. They were tailor-made for people like him.
"Mr. Johnson, under such circumstances, do you think you have the ability to take me away? But if you can't take me away, the onlookers outside will talk about it, and your prestige will be even worse by then.
Alright!"
Downey started taunting again.
Eli Johnson was breathing heavily, and his squirrel-like brain really didn't know what to do about the situation in front of him.
"Eli, if you don't mind, I think we can have a private conversation between men!"
At this time, Donnie suddenly relaxed the atmosphere at the scene and spoke to Eli relaxedly.
Eli asked coldly: "What do you want to say?"
Donnie looked around and said, "Why don't you go to my office to talk?"
"Humph!" Eli snorted, but did not refuse.
Donnie smiled when he saw this, got up and walked up the stairs. Eli followed Donnie without saying a word.
When the two came to the office and only Downey and Eli were left, Downey spoke.
"Eli, I actually just want to be a businessman!"
"Are you giving in to me?" Eli misunderstood Donnie's meaning.
"No, No, No, I'm just telling you my thoughts. If you hadn't been so aggressive with me, I wouldn't have reached this point. I will only expand step by step according to the laws of business development.
My own business."
"Haha!" Eli seemed to have heard some big joke.
Downey didn't care about Eli Johnson's attitude, but continued: "I'm asking you to come up now. Actually, I just want to tell you that you have reached the edge of the abyss. If you can't stop the cliff in time, wait for the next step.
Yours is the abyss!"
Eli Johnson said: "I understand my own situation, so stop being alarmist here!"
Downey smiled contemptuously and said: "Is that so? Although the outside world says you are a fool, I don't think so, because it is impossible for a fool to manage Atlantic City so well.
So you should understand, does the Brigadier General value you personally? No, he values the rights in your hands, but when the Brigadier General sees that you will not be able to control the rights in your hands, do you think the Brigadier General will continue to trust you?
?"
Eli Johnson said coldly: "Don't worry, I have my own way!"
Downey shook his head and said: "Honesty is a person's basic virtue. When dealing with a person who can betray his own brother, do you think those old guys in Atlantic City will trust you to manage Atlantic City?"
"You don't need to rush to refute. After talking about the brigadier general, let's talk about your brother Nucky. I think you should know your brother better than me. Why hasn't Nucky done anything to you until now?
Is it really because of the family relationship between you?
No, that's because the position you are in now is the same as the Brigadier General. If you cannot exert your rights in this position, do you think your brother will still be as indifferent to what you do as he is now?"
Eli Johnson fell into silence after being told by Downey.
Upon seeing this, Downey continued: "Okay, now we can talk about the things between us. If you can leave here with your men, I will let you protect your authority in front of the people of Atlantic City. In addition,
David Jabbar’s previous conditions for cooperation with you will be fully accepted by me.
The most important thing is that with my current influence in Atlantic City, coupled with the power in your hands, we have a perfect cooperative relationship.
