Chapter 70 Negotiations
"You said you wanted to do business with me?" About half an hour later, a middle-aged man in a suit with a scar on his face and a slightly vicissitudes of complexion walked into the tavern with a few subordinates, and came straight When he sat down opposite Linden Schneider, Dama Jindao sat down, looked at Linden and said.

Well, that's right, Lyndon, not Josie.

At this time, Josie was standing behind Linden as an assistant.

This kind of dealing with gangsters is more suitable for an old fritter like Linden, and smuggling is a gray industry after all, so it is naturally best for Josie not to stand in the foreground.

"Are you Thomas Shelby?" Linden looked him up and down and asked.

"That's right, my friends call me Tommy. Don't you want to introduce yourself, sir?" The man confirmed his identity with a smile, and then asked Linden.

"I have some goods, and the quantity is relatively large, so I need a reliable partner!" Lin Deng said with an arrogant attitude.

"Then you have found the right place. In the whole of the UK, if you must find someone who can distribute the goods across the country, you can't find a second one except our Shelby family... But there is one thing Let’s make it clear first, we don’t stick to powder!” Tommy said with a slight smile, the razor gang is what they are called by the outside world, but they still call themselves the same as most gangsters, they are named after the boss’s surname.

Tommy didn't care about Linden's arrogance. He was a smart man, and he understood that the current world situation was already clear, and the rise of the United States was already unstoppable.

And after the British were beaten up by Mustache, they no longer had the glory of the empire on which the sun never set.

The flamboyant American soldiers who can be seen everywhere in major cities in the UK have proved all this.

"Naturally, we don't do that kind of harmful thing. In fact, the goods we want to bulk up are all serious goods that are urgently needed in the whole of Britain, and even the whole of the European continent." Linden nodded, and then He looked at Josie.

Josie also promptly lifted the box at her feet, put it on the table, and opened it.

The contents inside are very simple, a few cigarettes of various brands, some loose tobacco and a few boxes of tin canned meat.

In fact, the goods that Josie prepared were far more than these types, but these types were not suitable for fair and fair sales.

Even normally speaking, only cigarettes are not suitable for fair and fair sales, and canned meat is also fine... But the premise is that it is normal canned meat, but now this kind of canned dinosaur meat is just...

Seeing the contents of the box, Tommy was also very surprised. He thought that the Americans asked them to sell some sensitive goods, but cigarettes and canned meat... This was something he hadn't expected at all.

If we talk about peacetime, tobacco might still be considered a slightly sensitive substance, but in this wartime, it is actually not sensitive at all for Britain, which has long been selling pots and iron sellers.

The current situation in the UK is that as long as you can bring in any useful materials, it is legal. There is no such thing as smuggling, and you are not even charged taxes.

"I don't quite understand...Your Excellency can make these goods through those trading houses. There is no need to find us!" Although he was very tempted by this business, but when he couldn't figure out the details of Linden and the others, Tommy instead He hesitated, as the leader of the underworld for decades, he didn't believe that there was such a thing as "pie in the sky" in the world.

Could it be...there is something wrong with these goods?

"Mr. Shelby is overthinking... You can try these products, and I guarantee that all the products are the same as these samples, and the quality is excellent!" Linden heard the other party's concerns, smiled slightly, and did not directly say Instead, he first took out a pack of cigarettes and a pack of canned meat and signaled Tommy to try it.

Seeing this, Tommy glanced at one of his subordinates, who didn't hesitate, picked up the can, picked up the meat inside with his hands, and put it in his mouth.

Just after taking a sip, the other party's eyes lit up, and then they started to gobble it up.

Seeing this, Linden and Josie couldn't help smiling.

In fact, these canned meats are the same as the canned meats of the U.S. military rations. In fact, the taste is very average or even bad. Not only is it salty, but it is also very greasy. Without heating, ordinary people cannot swallow it so easily.

The reason why the other party eats so happily can only explain one problem, that is, the other party has not been stained with oil for a long time.

Facing the embarrassing performance of his subordinates, Tommy also twitched his cheeks and kicked this guy secretly.

In the past few years, the situation in the whole of Britain has been very bad, and these gangsters are not much better, and it is common for them to not have enough to eat.

But it's a bit embarrassing to show it in this situation.

However, even if he was kicked, the taster didn't intend to put down the can, and directly showed off the whole one-pound can, and didn't forget to lick the remnants inside.

And the members of the surrounding Razor Party were all drooling as they watched.

"Hehe, country people, you're laughing at the distinguished guests!" Seeing this situation, Tommy could only show an embarrassed but polite smile at Linden.

"Mr. Shelby is serious. Britain is just in the most difficult period. Now that the war situation is clear, I believe that all of this will pass soon." Linden also raised his hand at the right time and said, "As for Mr. Shelby's question just now is actually very simple, what my boss wants to do is not a one-shot deal, but to establish a partner who can cooperate stably even if the war is over."

As soon as Linden said this, Shelby immediately understood.

That's right, at this stage, everything in the UK is really easy to sell, and it can even be said that selling anything is not illegal.

But once the war is over, the situation is completely different.

Things like canned meat will soon become worthless, and although tobacco can still maintain a considerable value...but as long as the British government slows down, private cigarettes will immediately become the official target of crackdown.

So if you want to sell private cigarettes or other illegal goods in the UK and Europe for a long time, it is indeed the most suitable to find a powerful gangster as a partner.

"I'm a villain in vain! Our Shelby family is very willing to accept this deal. When will we get the goods... and the payment for the goods..." Speaking of the payment, Shelby showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

These days, the landlord’s family has no surplus food, and prices in the UK have already risen to the sky, so if Josie and the others have too much goods, even the Razor Gang, the largest gang in the UK, may find it difficult to pay for the goods in one go. .

"It's simple. We can deliver the goods first. In terms of payment, we also accept physical goods, such as gold, jewelry, and land, as long as they are clean!" Linden said with a smile.
