American Manga Dimensional Trader

Chapter 45 Buying People's Hearts

Tell me, what's the matter? Taking Margot into the house, Josie returned to the car and motioned for the driver to drive, while asking Dix, Is it cigarettes or sugar?

When Josie was talking about sugar, it wasn't corn syrup.

The new product, corn syrup, has signed an order with the military, all of which are to be supplied to the military.

But Josie's sugar factory is also producing white sugar in addition to the normal production of syrup.

As for the raw materials, there is no doubt that it comes from the transaction with Daenerys.

Obtain cheap crude brown sugar or sugar cane from Westeros, process it into pure white sugar, and sell some back to Daenerys at a high price, while some flow into the Chicago black market, earning huge cash.

Sugar and tobacco, these two shady businesses, brought Josie's benefits to far more than the military's orders.

But in the same way, since it is an illegal business, it is naturally easy to be coveted.

So Josie was not surprised that this day came.

All, 10,000 sticks of cigarettes, and a ton of sugar, all of which were destined for New York. They were robbed at the dock. 5 brothers died and 2 were seriously injured. Only one escaped and called. Me. Dix replied dully, all the people who died were his subordinates.

Josie narrowed his eyes when he heard the words, good guy, according to the lowest price of ten dollars a cigarette and twenty dollars a kilogram of sugar, it is a total of 120,000 goods.

Find out who did it? Josh asked.

Not yet. The other party is very efficient. When we arrived, the goods had already been shipped. Dix shook his head. But I have already notified Mr. Schneider and Mr. Dietrich. I don't know if they have any. Find useful information.

Josh nodded when he heard the words, closed his eyes and thought about something, but didn't speak any more.

About half an hour later, Josie and his party came to Anna's restaurant, the widow of Louis who was seriously injured after being shot in the jewelry robbery.

Originally, Dix just wanted to take care of the girls out of friendship, but let alone, although Anna is only a little woman from the bottom of the society, her beauty and figure are indeed first-class, although not as good as Margot, but it is not It's no worse than some of the celebrities that Josie usually sees, or even the so-called stars in the labor-military union.

Because of this, Dix has really become your wife after taking care of her. I have raised her, and I even plan to get married recently.

It is also because of this relationship that this restaurant has gradually become a meeting place for Josie and his subordinates.

And the reason why there are three cars is that they are all Josie's bodyguards.

There may be a gap between the current Josh and the top bigwigs in Chicago, but he is rich and powerful, and he is also famous. Naturally, it is impossible to always act alone as before.

So now he has recruited more than 20 people as his bodyguards.

These people were all recruited by Josie from the port camp.

Although Chicago is a city in the middle of the United States, as the third largest city in the United States, it is very attractive to immigrants, and Lake Michigan, through the Great Lakes route, has a direct route to Europe, so there are many refugees from Europe.

Those who have money and connections can naturally enter Chicago.

But those refugees who have no money and more than 30,000 people can only stay in the refugee camps at the port, eating rotten and smelly low-quality food distributed by the government every day, waiting for the approval of the Immigration Department.

Starvation is not to starve to death, but there are many people who die of disease, freezing and various causes.

The harshness of the environment is barely better than that of the concentration camps.

So it's easy for Josie to recruit people.

And these people recruited by Josie belong to the family, the old and the young, and most of them have served in the army, mainly Germans, Austrians, these compatriots and a small number of Nordic people... As for why they didn't recruit Asians , Don't make trouble, the refugees from Europe, where are the Asians, the Asian refugees are all in Los Angeles, which is half a continent away.

This kind of escape will bring the young and the old, and they all pay more attention to the family.

Enough settling expenses, plus the unified placement of the family, is enough to buy the loyalty of these people.

Because it was already late in the evening, the restaurant was already closed.

So there were no extra people in the store except for Lyndon Schneider and Dietrich, who had been waiting inside for a long time.

How's it going? Have you found any clues? Josie sat down on the sofa, looking at a few people and asked.

Mr. Sheriff has some clues. Obviously, before Josie came, the two had discussed it, and Lyndon Schneider directly pushed Dietrich out.

It's not surprising that among these people under Josie's hands, the real one who is considered a smuggler in Chicago is actually a Dietrich.

Josh heard the words and looked at Dietrich.

I have some informants in various districts. After receiving the news from Dix, I went to ask people about it. There are five gangs with relatively large operations this evening, one is Moretti of Italians. The family, one is a fat man from Ireland, but the two families are not very suspicious, because their actions are to fight against each other. The killer of the Moretti family was killed by the fat man, and the other three groups were also Italian. I don't think the Facone family is very likely. After their boss, Salieri, was locked in five years ago, they I'm down, Dietrich said.

In other words, the suspects mainly hit the Spaniards and Jews? Josh knocked on the table and asked.

Yes, but this is just my guess. I can only say that they are the most suspicious. Who did it? I'm afraid I have to find out the whereabouts of that batch of goods. After all, I can't guarantee it. Son of a bitch, could it be some stunner who just debuted? Dietrich shrugged.

There is no way. As the third largest city in the United States, the various ethnic forces in Chicago are extremely complex. There are more than a dozen large gangs, and there are even more small gangs.

Little gangs appear or disappear almost every day.

Josie nodded when he heard the words. Although he was playing black, he didn't need to tell the evidence like the police, but when he suspected that there were multiple parties, he still had to investigate clearly first.

Otherwise, finding the wrong person is a trivial matter, and being used as a gunman is fatal.

Then let's do it first, you all keep an eye on this matter, and let me know as soon as there is news. Although we are not an official gang, we are not something that the rats in the sewers can handle casually. In addition, Schneider, give Dix a sum of money from the payment for the goods, ten thousand for the dead brother, five thousand for the serious injury, tell everyone, as long as you are willing to work for me, I will not treat them badly. Josh ordered one by one.

Hearing the pension price quoted by Josie, everyone present was moved.

You must know that the death of ordinary gang members these years, the boss can give one or two thousand, that belongs to the kind-hearted people.

Most of them are dead without a dime.

This is why many young people prefer to join the army.

In addition to the high wages, the death benefit of up to $6,000 is also an important reason.

In fact, even in the 21st century, the US military's death subsidy is still 6,000... However, the main compensation for soldiers killed in battle after World War II is already based on insurance, and the 6,000 is no longer necessary.

Therefore, Josie's 10,000 pension can be said to be very high in this era.

So even if everyone understands that Josie is buying people's hearts, so what? Who doesn't like this kind of boss who is willing to throw money?

For Josh, in terms of money, he may not be a big deal now compared to those top predators, but spending tens of thousands to buy people's hearts is really nothing. With a plane trader, making money is really so easy.

Not to mention the dollars brought in by the black market sales of sugar and cigarettes, and just dealing with Daenerys, Josie's warehouse still has piles of gold and silver.
