Chapter 985: Two Meetings
boom……
The gunshots rang out, and calm returned to the alley.
Not long after, two figures came out from the inside, it was Tommy and Vincent.
Taking the gun from his hand and putting it in the holster, Tommy reloaded the unloaded gun and put it back in the holster.
Then he smiled and patted him on the shoulder and said; "You said before that you were not a gang member...then congratulations, you are from now on."
Vincent didn't say anything, and went back to the bar in silence, drinking one glass after another.
On this ordinary night, the fate of some people has undergone an unprecedented change, and it is as insignificant as dust to the whole world, causing no waves.
If you want to become the butterfly that triggers the butterfly effect, you have to fly to Siberia first.
"I don't want to kill people. This is not the life I should have." After calming down, Vincent looked at Tommy across the bar and said seriously.
"Don't worry, someone will solve the trouble, you are the boss here." Tommy picked up the cup and drank it in one gulp, and said with a smile; "Today is an exception."
Tommy's promise to 'solve the trouble,' was fulfilled the next day.
A tall, strong white man appeared at the bar, "My name is K, and Tommy called me here."
In New York, Paul sat on the sofa in his apartment, looking around and waiting.
Today he made a special trip to meet the boss, with someone else's entrustment, someone can't wait in Vegas.
‘This place is really like a palace. It is said that each of those paintings can sell for tens of thousands of dollars, but here they are just for decoration...’
The murals on the wall and the oil paintings on the wall made Paul jealous. As time went on, the gap between his good bosses became bigger and bigger.
"Paul..." Li Zitao's voice came from the corridor, and Paul, who was looking around, stood up.
"Boss." The moment he saw Li Zitao, Paul smiled all over his face, bowing his head slightly and said.
"Long time no see, sit down!" Nodding and sitting down, Paul sat back on the sofa again.
"Come here, the best cigar in Brazil, don't even think about buying it anywhere." Taking out a cigar from the humidor on the console and throwing it to Paul, Li Zitao put it under the tip of his nose and smelled it.
In order to ensure the quality, he bought a cigar workshop in Brazil and hired the other party to grow and roast cigars for his own smoking.
Because the plantation is not big, he only needs the best for his pickiness. In addition to the time-consuming manual craftsmanship, the annual output is only 600-800 pieces, which is indeed very rare.
"Thank you, boss." Paul smiled politely, first took out the oak chip and lit it for Li Zitao, and then cut off the cigar head to light it for himself.
"How, I said it is the best." Li Zitao is very satisfied with these cigars, which are very in line with his preferences and tastes.
"Yeah, I think I'm falling in love with it...what a pity." Because he'd never be able to smoke those cigars when he left here.
"It's yours now, I hope it makes you happy." He took a box of brand new cigars from under the table and threw it at him.
"Thank you, boss." Paul said happily, holding the box like a dog.
"Get down to business, how's business in Vegas?" No matter what happens, business is always the most important thing.
"Everything is normal, our profits are increasing every year, there are no problems with the government and the judiciary."
When it comes to the business in Vegas, Paul's expression is full of pride, and he also has a part in these businesses.
Paul spends a lot of time and energy making sure the business in Vegas stays on track.
Not only are you looking after your family and your own casino, but you are responsible for the security of Vegas as a whole, both inside and outside the casino.
Guests who come to the casino to play, no matter what their status or status, as long as they come to play and abide by the rules of Vegas, they are honored guests.
In Vegas, Paul's people will ensure the safety of the guests, unless the guests cause trouble first.
Paul is very reasonable. In the words of the boss, it is to convince people with virtue.
so,
Anyone who doesn't listen to his reasoning is buried in the ground, and it seems to Paul that they all need to calm down.
"No matter what the situation is, ensuring the safety and stability of Vegas is the first priority, and I think you should be clear."
Obviously this is not the first time Li Zitao has talked about this topic, but every time he sees Paul, he brings up the old story again to make sure that he will not forget it under any circumstances.
"Yes, but some people have owed a large amount of debt in the casino, and it is difficult to get it back." Mentioning this is the most troublesome thing for Paul.
Those gamblers have already lost red eyes and owed a large amount of debts, some even millions, and they can't afford to pay even if they go bankrupt.
They are all members of the 'Development Association', and now there is a problem and Paul is required to help.
The war is not over yet, the ones in North America are alright, but the ones in other countries are nowhere to be found, and he has to waste manpower to find them everywhere.
"Let Mary preside over the latest meeting and tell them that no one will wipe their ass if they do this again." Driving people to bankruptcy is not good for the development of the casino.
If someone with a heart wants to publicize it, it is likely to deal a blow to the reputation of the casino.
It's okay to want to make money, but at least you have to find someone who can pay back and make sure his assets are enough to pay back and maintain a decent rich man.
They are not the mafia, let alone the gangsters of Hong Kong and Jiangjiang.
"That..." After listening to the boss's order, Paul smiled and looked around, making sure no one could say anything; "Miss Xu said she missed you..."
After finishing speaking, Paul turned his head and snickered, shrugging his shoulders from time to time. It was too strange for him to convey this kind of thing.
"Ahem..." Breathing thick smoke, Li Zitao pretended to be natural and said, "Well, I will deal with some things in the near future."
"Okay, I'll pass it on to the lady." Paul put away his smile, nodded and got up to leave.
His time is also very tight, in addition to visiting a few old friends here, and attending two meetings by the way.
One is a mafia family meeting in New York, with the Gambino, Bonanno, Colombo, Genovese, and Lucchese five families meeting.
This is just a friendly meeting to catch up on the old days, and maybe talk about some issues related to smuggled alcohol and arms.
Since Li Zitao left Chicago and Los Angeles, the white noodle business in the two places has become active again.
These Paul chose to turn a blind eye, because his good boss talked about it, unless they can kill drug dealers all over the world, they can only restrain themselves.
So, Paul just made sure that his men were not involved, that they had more 'legitimate' business and could make a lot of money.
Smuggling alcohol, arms, and cars are safer and more reliable. Even if you are caught, you can get out quickly, and a lot of money will be put in your pocket.
And if these things want to be circulated, the assistance of other city mafia is naturally indispensable. After all, the transportation channel always passes through their territory.
If the other party wants to make trouble, there are many ways to do it, so these businesses will give them a piece of the pie.
Because of this, the relationship between Paul and these families gradually eased. You must know that when Li Zitao was still in Chicago, they were not very harmonious.
The other was the 'National Mafia Council,' in Atlantic City, a meeting about legacy.
