Cosma Empire

Alice Dance Hall is just an ordinary dance hall from its name, but in fact there are a lot of alcoholic drinks for sale in it.

The Bureau of Contraband Investigation came here a few times and didn't find anything. It also gave rise to some gossip. For example, the owner of the Alice dance hall is very energetic. In short, in the eyes of many people, this is A very safe place.

Not only can you sing, dance and enjoy the show here, but there is also unlimited alcohol supply. For those young people who like to get a little drunk after work, this place is simply paradise.

If they can, they are even willing to live here and regard it as their real home.

At this time, in the yard behind the dance hall, Louis, nicknamed "Golden Tooth", was instructing his men to unload the small package of medical disinfectant alcohol in the truck.

This small package of medical alcohol is the main reason why the Alice Song and Dance Troupe is not harassed by the Contraband Investigation Bureau, because of its convenience, speed, and safety.

As people's living conditions get better and better, people's demand for material things is getting higher and higher, and cheap drinks have become the main form of entertainment, but the Contraband Investigation Bureau is very tight. Research and development work, a new breed was born.

Today's bootleggers rarely smuggle finished, illegal alcoholic beverages, they just sell a stick called a "stick".

It looks as thick as a thumb on the outside, with a glass bottle containing 25 milliliters of high alcohol. When someone needs alcohol, bars, including places like the Alice Dance Hall, will sell a glass of juice and "gift" A stick for "sterilizing".

Guests will blend the alcohol in a stick into the juice, so that a glass of juice becomes fruit wine, and alcoholic beverages of different concentrations can be blended according to the needs of the guests.

No matter how many times the Contraband Investigation Bureau came to investigate, it was impossible to find any contraband they sold. In the official catalog of the empire, small bottles of disinfectant alcohol were legal medical supplies, not contraband.

As for the behavior of the guests themselves, it has nothing to do with the operator. At the same time, the Contraband Investigation Bureau is only responsible for transportation and sales, and does not apply to use.

In other words, even if a customer mixed the alcohol used for disinfection into the drink in front of the agents of the Bureau of Contraband Investigation, they could do nothing about it. It was a personal act and not subject to the management of the Bureau of Contraband Investigation.

This kind of business method allows smugglers and bootleggers, as well as the operators who sell these sticks, to no longer have to worry about facing high fines or even jail time. It is almost a happy scene.

In the past few years, one of the sticks in the Alice Dance Hall was obtained through the channel of the Heidigra Trading Company in the city, and the supply has always been stable.

No matter what brand of stick it is, no matter where it is purchased, as long as the purity and capacity are the same, the price is the same.

Of course, it has always been a rule to sell different sticks in different regions. As for who made the rules, some people know it well, while others don't.

If there is no accident, Alice Dance Hall should continue to get goods from Heidigra Trading Company in accordance with the requirements of the supply agreement, but there is no way to get the goods now.

It is said that the factory is out of stock, and there is no way to guarantee the supply of a stick for the Alice Dance Hall in a short time.

At this time, a well-known gang in the city contacted the Alice Dance Hall, saying that they had a well-stocked stick in their hands.

After the bartender took some samples himself and was sure the items were genuine, Alice Cabaret and Gold Tooth Louis struck a trade deal.

Although I don't understand why formal channels like Heidigra Trading Company can't get the goods, but the gang can get a lot of goods, but this doesn't affect the operation of Alice's dance hall.

They don't care who has the goods and who doesn't, they are only responsible for paying the money. As for the supply and marketing agreement signed before, you have to have the goods, right?

In just half a month, most of the bootleggers in the city are getting goods through the channel of Golden Tooth Louis. Their goods are cheaper and the quantity is more abundant. Heidigra Trading Company has been forgotten by everyone. the back of the head.

Today is the trading time again, because the Alice Dance Hall has a particularly large demand for a stick, so the transactions here are handed over by Jinya Louis himself.

Standing by the truck and watching his subordinates unload a box of sticks from the truck, Louis chatted with the manager of Alice's song and dance hall while pointing to the cash in his hand.

Almost two minutes later, Louis stuffed a few wads of banknotes into his bag, showing his golden teeth, and his smile squeezed out the creases of his face. He reached out his hand and shook hands with the manager, "A penny is a lot, if you need it Call me anytime."

The manager also smiled appropriately. Although he didn't necessarily like gangsters like this, the dance hall needed to survive and needed these things, so he could only bite the bullet and deal with these people.

I don't know what he thought of, but he suddenly said, "During the day today, the manager of Heidigra Company called me this morning and said that they will have the goods in hand soon..."

Gold Tooth Louis was stunned for a moment, he let go of his hand, and frowned slightly, "You mean you don't plan to take goods from us anymore?"

His tone was a bit unfriendly, and the manager waved his hands again and again, "No, no, no, that's not what I meant. Your prices are cheaper, and there are sufficient supplies at any time. We have cooperated well during this time."

"It's just that I'm a little worried. After all, we signed a supply and marketing agreement with them. Once they sue us for this matter, we still have to get the goods from them. So the boss means that we have no other way to resolve these issues amicably?"

Golden Tooth Louis thought for a while, and spit out, "Wait for my news, I will let them go in three days, but it is a trading company, dare to steal business from us?"

During this period of time, the profit from selling a stick has exceeded their income from extortion of comfort fees and loan sharks. Louis with golden teeth intends to change his ways and return to selling these legal things, and is reducing his illegal business.

Those illegal businesses in the past didn't make much money, and they made his reputation worse and worse. The police also watched him every day.

But since he started selling a stick, he realized that he was really stupid before. This kind of legal and legitimate business is the real huge profit, and he has no worries.

Whoever dares to touch his cheese, he will let anyone go to see God!

He is cruel, but it is a small company with no background. After taking people to the door once, the matter can not only be resolved, but also let some people know that this is his business, so don't reach out.

While the two were talking, there were several gunshots from the dance hall, followed by loud screams. Both of them froze for a moment. The manager ran towards the dance hall, and Louis Jinya hesitated. After a while, he led people to chase after him.

Alice Dance Hall is now his benefactor, and protecting the benefactor is equal to protecting his own interests, he is still very clear about this.

Besides, he is more or less well-known in this area, and he belongs to a gang leader who has only risen in the past two years, so everyone will give him some face.

When they rushed into the hall of the dance hall, the customers who came to consume in the hall had basically completely evacuated, only a group of people wearing masks were smashing everywhere with bats.

Gold-toothed Louis stood behind and watched for a while, faintly feeling that something was wrong.

The manager had already been beaten to the ground by them, and this group of people had guns in their hands, so they didn't seem like easy talkers.

He was only here to deliver the goods this time, and he didn't bring many brothers with him. Now rushing forward recklessly may not have any effect. He took a few steps back, turned around and walked towards the back door.

When he and a few of his men left the back door, he walked to his newly bought car alone and sat in to start it, two men in windbreakers happened to pass by his car window.

One of them knocked on his car window, he froze for a moment, then rolled down the car window, showing his big gold teeth, "You don't see that I'm leaving, why don't you get out?"

The man showed a smile, his white teeth were particularly conspicuous in the night, "Mr. Dulin asked me to say hello to you..."

After he finished speaking, he walked forward. While Louis the Gold Tooth was still thinking about where he had heard this somewhat familiar sentence, the guy behind the man suddenly pulled out two pistols from behind him. He looked at him with horrified eyes and pulled the trigger continuously.

Behind him, four men in trench coats and yarmulkes held guns and beat the cab of the truck into a honeycomb. After a while, the group got into two vehicles and disappeared into the night.

The next day, all the bootleggers in the city knew the news. Louis with the golden tooth was shot dead in the street by his enemies, and Alice's dance hall was smashed up by a group of unidentified people. Catch these criminals.

And he revealed that it may have something to do with gang vendettas.

In just one week, the practice of gang vendettas appeared in various parts of the empire, as if everyone had made an appointment to launch them at the same time. Some things have already been discovered, but some people have not yet been known.

For those relatively "honest" gangs, this big drama once again made their vague impression of the underground emperor clear and profound, and it also warned many people that there are some things that cannot be done.

It's not that you are bad, you can be lawless. In this world shrouded in darkness, there are also its rules of survival and taboos you can't do.

It is easy to challenge these things, but the price that comes with it is not something anyone can easily pay.
