For Jefferson Alder, it was an ordinary morning. He woke up in a soft and warm bed. His wife who slept next to him got up early and prepared breakfast. His half-year-old son was still lying in bed, and his daughter had already taken the breakfast. I read the textbook carefully.
His life remained unchanged, just like the sun rising above him, without any disturbance.
Mr. Alder is not a traditional Saint Martin. He was originally a country doctor in Syracuse. Later, he accidentally treated a big boss during a local gang fight, and his boring life trajectory took a turn. , it has been twenty years since the gang came to this dreamland known as justice and freedom.
Here, he met his current wife, and just like the popular story, the two fell in love at first sight, and their relationship quickly heated up, and then they came to talk about marriage. However, just like the popular story, their love was blocked by the wife's parents. Objection, the woman's parents would never agree to marry their daughter to a poor man who has been reduced to working in a dentist's office.
Just when Mr. Alder was at his wits' end, a man came down and a thunder was heard, and with just a little residual power, they contributed to their happy life today.
Mr. Lin.
To be precise, the person who provided a little help should be Mr. Lin's personal doctor's assistant.
The two drank together, scolded each other, fought with street gangsters, and were beaten by street gangsters. They became good friends who talked about everything.
It was this good friend's matchmaking that allowed Alder to straighten his back in front of the woman's parents. By the way, he took over the dental clinic two years later and became a veritable middle-class person.
Sometimes fate is so clever.
After breakfast, Mr. Alder learned that the children’s school had announced a temporary closure. The reason was that the chaos in St. Martin’s that had continued from yesterday to today might not stop in the short term. For safety reasons, schools in the entire Central District were closed. .
"To be honest, it's pretty bad, but the trouble will eventually pass, don't worry."
Alder kissed his wife, said goodbye to his children, and left the house for the dentist's office.
When he pushed open the door of the dentist's office, two eyes were looking at him.
Why do dental clinics still stay open when the whole city is in chaos? There is actually another inside story.
"During the implementation of the Prohibition Act, normal drinking in society was restricted, but this was different in dental clinics. Medical alcohol was a must-have. When the city was in chaos, the transportation industry was severely hit. Medical alcohol was not in stock and was highly potent. Alcohol became an indispensable substitute, so the industry evolved into the best cover for bootlegging because they had the legal procedures to store it..."
Zhou Jinru, who was sitting in the breakfast shop, tore open the toasted soft bread and ate it. Sometimes he would take a sip of hot porridge made from delicious corn, ham, shrimp meat, and feel so comfortable that no pores could escape his body.
"You know so much, why don't you go into the business of selling bootlegging liquor? After a while, after the Prohibition Act is passed, you might be able to make a lot of money, which will alleviate your poor economic conditions in Rhode Island."
Silver Fox didn't like Zhou Jinru's obsession with food, so she only ordered simple bread and orange juice.
"Are you losing weight?"
Silver Fox glared at him angrily: "You care about me!"
Zhou Jinru shut up decisively and continued: "I can't do this business. Firstly, several strict conditions must be met, otherwise the brigade of the Second Police Station will come to arrest people. Secondly, the alcohol prohibition bill is just a flash in the pan after all. Even if Lin If Mr. Xi wants to do something, Colombian officials will not let it go."
Mr. Lin's biggest problem is not his infiltration of various forces in Colombia, nor is it his control of a mobile city. These do not matter. The key is his origin.
He was an Ursus.
Even though he studied abroad in Yanguo, even though he started a business in Colombia, even though he publicly stated that he deeply hated the Ursus Empire...
Although he almost killed Zhou Jinru with an Originium bomb, it was because Zhou Jinru was speculated to be an Ursus noble at that time.
He is still an Ursus, an Ursus to the core, and this is something that Colombia cannot tolerate.
What Zhou Jinru didn't know was that Yan Guo also took the same decision in this matter. Mr. Lin, he was just an Ursus.
"Let's go find that Mr. Alder and negotiate a deal."
After eating the last bite of bread and the hot porridge in the bowl, Zhou Jinru wiped his mouth, stood up, and stretched his muscles.
Silver Fox put down the half-drunk orange juice: "How do you know Mr. Alder is willing to discuss business with you?"
"Ha ha ha ha."
Zhou Jinru touched the two guns hidden in his cuffs and the Colt in his clothes, and put his hand on Silver Fox's shoulders: "It makes money, it's not shabby. I talked to the cashier here when I ordered. Our Mr. Alder recently purchased a batch of high-strength wine, and he also wants to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune."
Silver Fox said with a straight face: "You are secretly checking for clues behind my back again!"
In fact, it was not a clever method. When Zhou Jinru ordered the food, he paid a fee that was almost half of the amount of the meal. The cashier, who was interested in the money, knew that there was no end to his words.
…
It takes courage to open a dental clinic in a downtown area, especially in a so-called liberal place like St. Martin. If you don't want to find that the door has been splashed with paint when you open it the next morning, paying a large sum of money for protection is essential. Yes, but it is not enough, because the owner of the clinic needs to deal with not only the evil gangs, but also the malicious competitors.
Mr. Alder has a gang as a guarantor, and his relationship with the local police station is not bad. The only thing left to deal with is the friendly businessman. However, the other party also has the support of noble people. In terms of competition, neither party has a clear advantage. Overtly and covertly, everything is half-assed.
In terms of making money, he can only make money in a steady stream, and he will not starve to death. For Mr. Alder, who has a big family, an extra income is naturally good. He thought that he was born in the countryside of Syracuse and had no noble people to help him. He tried his best to become a country doctor, but now he has become a phoenix. Of course, he also wants his descendants to live more comfortably. When the prohibition bill is about to be implemented, he starts to make plans. .
"If we can use the gang's connections to sell this batch of illegal liquor at a high price, even if the gang shares a portion of the profit, the rest will be able to provide the dental clinic with several years of income."
Alder thought to himself and raised his head. There were two people, a tall man and a short man, standing in front of the dentist's office.
