"Donnie, I didn't expect you to come here and play a few games!"

Nucky said happily after seeing Donnie, showing no sign of his anger because his brother violated his wishes.

"The Fuli Tavern has always been a role model for our Block Tavern to follow."

"Haha, according to your current development, Downey, I believe it won't be long before you can own a pub like this!"

Nucky continued to laugh, and such words made David Jabbar, who was accompanying Nucky, look ugly.

"By the way, this is my girlfriend Lucy Danziger, a beautiful girl!"

"I have heard of Miss Danziger for a long time. When I saw her today, she is really beautiful!"

Donnie stretched out his hand, and Lucy smiled without changing her face: "I have always heard Nucky say that Mr. Bullock is the most promising young man in Atlantic City at the moment. He is indeed a talented person!"

The flattery between the two was just a taste.

"By the way, Donnie, I want to introduce you to a friend. This is a big shot!"

Nucky smiled and said somewhat mysteriously.

After hearing what Nucky said, Downey was slightly startled. Could the person that Nucky called a big shot be a certain political bigwig?

No, although the relationship between the two has eased somewhat, according to Nucky's character, it is impossible for him to take the initiative to introduce himself to political bigwigs, and according to Nucky's character, it is impossible to show off.

"I don't know?" Although Downey had doubts in his heart, he still asked with a smile.

"Ponzi, let me introduce to you our rising star in Atlantic City, Donny Bullock. Now half of the drinks in Atlantic City are supplied by Donny!"

Nucky turned back to greet a white man who was placing bets. The white man was wearing a handmade Italian suit and a ruby ​​ring on his finger. When he stood up and turned around, he had a look similar to Nucky's.

smile.

"Nucky, this is a big shot in Boston, Charles Ponzi, who is in charge of a fund worth more than fifteen million U.S. dollars!"

Nucky introduces Downey's identity.

Downey's expression began to become complicated. Charles Ponzi is a famous figure in financial history.

The 'Ponzi scheme' is named after him.

"It turns out to be Mr. Ponzi. I'm glad to meet you. I hope I can take care of you in the future!" Downey suppressed his curiosity and shook hands with Ponzi with a smile.

With an implicit smile on his face, Ponzi said humbly: "Mr. Bullock is humble. Now only Atlantic City in the United States can provide everyone with drinks. I believe it won't be long before Mr. Bullock can become a big shot in Atlantic City!"

”

Nucky smiled and said to Downey: "Charles's fund has a very high return rate, and it operates a unique European stamp. The return rate once reached 400%. Downey, you can invest your spare money in Charles, and maybe you can get

Your wish to own a tavern similar to the Folly in Atlantic City will come early!"

"Alas, my business is just a small business, not as good as an industry like Mr. Bullock!" Ponzi actually implicitly rejected Nucky's suggestion.

"I hope I have the opportunity to cooperate with Mr. Ponzi in the future!" Downey showed a hint of disappointment.

After the two parties exchanged pleasantries, they separated. Downey exchanged 300 US dollars in chips, found a random gambling table, and started his mission today.

But during the process, Downey couldn't help but look at Charles Ponzi's situation many times.

Shouldn't this master continue to deceive retail investors in Boston?

Why did you end up in Atlantic City?

If my memory is correct, by August this year, Charles Ponzi's scam will be exposed, and Ponzi will also be sentenced to prison for this matter.

Could it be that there is no fresh blood in Boston and Ponzi is preparing to develop his own new customers in Atlantic City?

After thinking for a while, Downey couldn't figure it out, so he turned his attention to the guests in the casino again. After all, Ponzi's existence could not bring him any benefits.

.

"These are the lists I compiled tonight. After a few more days of observation, the situation will basically be clear!"

After Donnie returned from the Fuli Tavern, he handed Robert the list of valuable people found in the Fuli Tavern tonight.

"Just ask Dwight to keep an eye on these people. I want to know what these people do in Atlantic City on weekdays except going to the Folly Tavern to spend money!"

Robert nodded and said: "No problem, it just so happened that Dwight gathered a group of his former friends during this period, which is more than enough to do this!"

Donnie nodded with satisfaction and continued to give instructions: "In addition, you have one more thing to do. I want you to find a high-end villa on the boardwalk and rent it!"

"Are you taking Margaret out of the West End?"

Robert didn't understand what Downey meant.

Downey smiled and said: "It's not for people to live there, it's for us to acquire the Fuli Tavern in the shortest possible time!"

"Okay, I'll give you news in two days!" Seeing that Downey didn't give specific details, Robert didn't ask.

After explaining Robert, Downey said to Bruce: "You have been so cool at Scott's Tavern these days, I have something serious to do next!"

Bruce smoked a cigar and said nonchalantly: "Of course, that's why I came to you!"

Downey said: "I don't have a photo of this person now, but I know his name is Charles Ponzi. He should have arrived in Atlantic City with Nucky yesterday. This person will be very high-profile. I believe you can easily

Just keep an eye on this person."

Bruce said: "No problem, this information is enough! So what do you want me to do, kidnap him?"

Downey shook his head and said: "No, I just want to know what this person was doing during this time in Atlantic City, that's all!"

Although Downey felt that Charles Ponzi could not bring him any benefits when he was at the Folly Tavern, this man was so famous that Downey couldn't help but be curious to know what this man was going to do in Atlantic City.

What.

And Downey also wants to know whether Nucky has invested in Ponzi's fund. If so, he may have to make some changes to his plan in Atlantic City.

If not, can we use Charles Ponzi to do something?

No matter what, you still need to know the specific situation of this person in Atlantic City before you can make a decision.

"This is too simple, there is no difficulty at all!"

Bruce smiled.

"Although the matter is not difficult, this person is very important. Don't underestimate him. He is a multi-millionaire!"

"Wow!" Bruce whistled exaggeratedly.

.

"So, my dear brother, when I left Atlantic City, you let my enemies go. Do you want to tell me that you are going to betray me?"

After returning from the Folly Tavern, Nucky met his brother, Eli Johnson!

"You know I will never betray you!" Eli said expressionlessly.

"Really? But what you are doing now is betraying me. Why don't you tell me what kind of benefits the brigadier general gave you that would make you betray your brother who has always taken care of you?"

"I told you, I didn't betray you!" Eli Johnson raised his voice and said with great dissatisfaction: "I'm helping you!"

"Help me?" Nucky laughed angrily: "Ha, tell me, letting go of my enemies will affect my reputation in Atlantic City. What are you doing to help me?"

"Washington has already called. Even if you have smoothed the relationship with Washington, your actions will always make the other party dissatisfied. Now that Vince has been dismissed, he can no longer play any role in the hands of the brigadier general.

If you let such an insignificant person go, it will also ease your relationship with Washington. I really can’t think of anything wrong with doing so!”

Eli Johnson has ideas of his own.

Nucky chuckled and said, "David Jabbar taught you these words, right?"

Eli Johnson's expression suddenly changed.

Seeing the change in Eli Johnson's expression, Nucky continued: "I have already told you that you are a fool, and I have also told you that you should do everything as I ask, so that only I will know about you.

You're a fool. Now, you're telling everyone in Atlantic City that you, Eli Johnson, are a fool!"

"I'm not a fool!" Eli Johnson retorted loudly.

"He also said that he is not a fool. If Vince is just a police judge, do you think I will take him in my eyes? If that's the case, his energy in Atlantic City can't even compare to Donnie Bullock. Vince is the most

An important identity is that he is the brigadier general’s godson.

As long as he has this identity, the moment he leaves prison, everyone in Atlantic City will think that I have been suppressed by the Brigadier.

How will everyone in Atlantic City view me then?

Do you think the little money you got from David can make up for my losses?"

Under Nucky's scolding, Eli Johnson left here without hiding his anger.

"My dear, Eli also wants to help you, don't be angry? Besides, didn't your trip to Washington go smoothly this time?"

Lucy brought Nucky a cup of coffee.

"Haha, it went well?" Nucky said angrily: "If he hadn't released Vince and the brigadier general told Washington about it, I would have gotten more this time!"

But it was obvious that Nucky didn't want to tell Lucy too much about what happened in Washington. After letting Lucy return to the bedroom, he began to deal with the business he had accumulated in the past few days after leaving Atlantic City.

After leaving the Ritz Hotel, an angry Eli Johnson came to the Folly Tavern.

"Eli, you look very bad. Is it because you were reprimanded by Nucky for what happened to me?"
