"Tell me what's going on!" Two nights later, in the same restaurant, Josie said looking at Lyndon Schneider in front of her.
Just half an hour ago, he received a call from Schneider, and there was news about the robbery of the goods.
"The Jews did it," Lyndon Schneider replied.
"Is the news accurate?" Josie asked.
"I can confirm that it was the news revealed by our partners in New York, the Corleone family." Lyndon Schneider nodded. "Originally, that batch of goods was going to be sold to them, but now according to the news from there,
That batch of goods appeared in the hands of their rivals, the Massilia family, and their partner in Chicago was the Jewish gang."
"Now that you've found someone, you don't need me to tell you what to do, right?" Qiao Xi said.
Josie was not surprised when he heard the name of the Corleone family. This was something he had known for a long time.
As the boss behind the scenes, although Qiao Xi does not interfere in specific operations, he still needs to know some basic information.
For example, the main underground forces in Chicago, the five major mafia families in New York, and some large gangs in the United States.
So when Lyndon Schneider first contacted New York, Josie knew about the existence of the Corleone family.
At that time, Josie didn't pay too much attention to it. After all, there was already Margot, the heroine of the phone murder case, and Sabrina, who should be the character played by Audrey Hepburn in the original world. After the Godfather came out,
Nothing.
And compared to the Captain America and Howard Stark we just learned about, the Godfather and the like are really just trivial.
"Boss, I'm afraid this matter won't be that easy to handle..." However, Lyndon Schneider looked at Josie's face and said hesitantly.
"Oh? What should I say?" Hearing this, Qiao Xi couldn't help but frown.
"Because this matter, according to the information revealed by the Corleone family, was not led by the Jewish gang in Chicago, but was instructed by the Massilia family!" Lyndon Schneider explained.
"The Massilia family? Luciano? Did our business offend him?" After hearing Lyndon Schneider's words, Josie began to pay attention.
If it was just Chicago's Jewish gang, Josie didn't care.
But if it were from the Massilia family, the situation would be different.
The head of the Massilia family is the head of the Genovese family, one of the five major mafia heads in New York in Qiao Xi's original world.
But the Genovese family changed its name after Vito Genovese came to power after World War II.
But now, Genovese is just the current head of the Massilia family, Luciano's pawn in Josie's mouth, and the third in the gang.
Luciano, on the other hand, is a very remarkable person in the Mafia. He can even be said to be the boss of all the current families.
Even the Corleone family had to stay away during their reign.
Because the "Cosa Nostra" (meaning Our Own Business), a super criminal group jointly formed by the American Mafia, also known as the Mafia Commission, was established under the leadership of Luciano.
Under his leadership, the Mafia also established two injunctions prohibiting the sale of powder and the murder of law enforcement officials.
It's just that Luciano was imprisoned by Dewey, the current governor of New York State, several years ago. He worked as a librarian in the prison and could only control the Massilia family remotely.
And Qiao Xi and his gang have only been around for a few months, so they probably don't have much to do with each other.
Is it because of doing business with the Corleone family? But it doesn't make sense. Although the Massilia family and the Corleone family are not very confrontational, they still maintain some balance on the surface.
"No, it was not Luciano who gave the order, but his most important assistant, Meyer Lansky." Lyndon Schneider shook his head and said.
"Meyer Lansky? We don't have anything to do with him either." Josie was puzzled.
Of course he knew who Meyer Lansky was. He was Luciano's most important partner, a think tank, and the godfather of the Jewish faction of the Mafia. He had great prestige among Jewish gangs in the United States.
"No, boss, before us, the Jewish gang controlled by Meyer Lansky was the largest illicit cigarette production and sales group in the country. Tobacco was also one of the most important financial resources of the Jewish gang." Lyndon Schneider explained.
"The quality of our cigarettes is higher than theirs and the price is more favorable. I think this is the reason why they attack us."
After hearing Lyndon Schneider's words, Josie suddenly realized.
It turns out that I accidentally touched the cheese of the largest Jewish gang in the United States...
This matter is indeed somewhat difficult to handle.
Although Qiao Xi's development speed is very fast, after all, the time is still too short, and the scale is not big enough compared with such an old mafia organization.
"Does the Corleone family have any comment on this matter?" Qiao Xi said with a cold expression.
"They mean not to interfere. If we can get the freight over, they will accept it, but they don't care about the rest." Lyndon Schneider said helplessly, "If my guess is correct, this time the other party just gave it to us.
Warning, if we continue to ship in large quantities, similar things may continue to happen."
Obviously, the Corleone family does not want to get involved in this muddy water.
Although the tobacco business is highly profitable, they might as well go up against Meyer Lansky over it.
"Hmph, I want to make money, but I don't want to take risks, so I have a good plan!" Knowing the attitude of the Corleone family, Josie was very dissatisfied, but there was nothing he could do about it.
Jews are truly a troublesome group, and a hint of disgust appeared on Josie's face.
This kind of disgust is not just because the other party robbed his goods.
At the same time, it also comes from some information that Qiao Xi knew when he was a native of Xia in his previous life.
Many people only know that during World War II, the Jews suffered crazy revenge from the Germans, but few know that the Jews and the Xia people also had deep grudges.
One is the famous Fugu Project. During World War II, the Xia Kingdom took in a large number of exiled Jews. However, many of these Jews hooked up with the Jew and tried to establish a Jewish state in the northeast of the Xia Kingdom, but failed.
The other reason is because of the famous Summer Exclusion Act.
Some people may wonder, isn’t the Summer Exclusion Act led by the US government? What does it have to do with the Jews?
It really does exist, and it’s also related to tobacco.
Because the cause of all this is related to a Jew named Samuel Gompers.
Gompers immigrated to New York from England in 1863. As a young man, he worked as a cigar worker. At that time, a large part of the cigar workers in the United States were Jews.
But the best cigar makers are not Jewish workers, but Asian workers in California, including Xia people.
Moreover, because the Xia people were hard-working and hard-working, the cigarettes they made were of high quality and their wages were low, making it difficult for the Jewish workers headed by Gompers to earn too much wages. It was from that time on that Gompers hated
Got married to the Xia people.
Because he knew how to run a business and was keen on union activities, Gompers quickly gained great popularity among industry workers, and in 1875, he became the chief executive of the American Cigar Union.
It was from this moment on that Gompers, in this capacity, started the first act of the Summer Exclusion Act, inciting the hatred of white workers against Asians at the time.
It was also because of him that the summer banishment trend began to spread from the Jewish community to all walks of life in the United States.
