Chapter 741: Negotiation
Old Handy was discussing things with Corgi and JP Dolan in the office, when suddenly his subordinates walked in from outside and whispered a few words in his ear, and Old Handy's face suddenly became solemn, and he waved his hand to let his subordinates go down.
Corgi was the first to notice old Handy's, and asked, "What's the matter, Mr. Handy, has something happened?"
"Terry Mulden is here. Old Handy sighed heavily, waved his hand, and said, "Corgi, you go and help first, in addition to taking over the business left by Mr. Parton, hurry up and find the traces of Rasti." Once found, I want you to do it yourself, JP, I don't want to see Rasti again, I don't want to hear anything about him, and you can do it. ”
"I understand!" JP Dolan nodded heavily, he understood what old Handy meant, now it was Rasti who murdered Old Paton, and I am afraid that all the gang leaders in Gotham City already knew the news. If the Irish Gangs can't get rid of Rasti before anyone else finds him, then the Irish Gangs will be a laughing stock and everyone will be ready to move.
"Hey, Handy, I haven't seen you in a while!" Liang Dong walked in while he was speaking, his gaze shifted from Handy's body to the corgi and Dolan on the side, and said in some surprise: "Hey, this isn't Corgi and JP, hello, guys." ”
"Hello, Terry!" Corgi and Dolan greeted Liang Dong at the same time, for this person, there are people with heads and brains in the Lower Forest District, who has not dealt with him before, for this person, everyone is afraid of his methods and powerful network.
"Mr. Handy, let's go down first. Corky pulled Radolan, and the two of them walked out quickly,
"Corgi is still as smart as ever!" Liang Dong looked at the backs of the two people and said with a smile, before turning around and sitting down opposite Old Handy, sighed deeply, and said: "The last time I sat here was a few days ago, but I didn't expect that Mr. Parton would have passed away in such a short time." By the way, here I would like to mourn you on behalf of myself and my colleagues. ”
"Thank you, what a misfortune!" Old Handy looked at Liang Dong, this guy always didn't have a word of truth in his mouth.
"By the way, Mr. Handy, when are you going to have a funeral, or send me an invitation, and I'll go and offer my own condolences. Liang Dong looked at old Handy, and there was no lack of temptation in his tone.
"It's not up to us to decide this matter, it's all about the Paton family's opinion. Old Handy looked at Liang Dong and said without revealing the slightest hint of his words: "I have spoken to Rosemary and Gary in California on the phone, and they will return to Gotham City tomorrow morning, and the funeral will be decided after they come back." ”
As he spoke, old Handy took out a bottle of brandy from the drawer, poured a cup for Liang Dong, and said, "I think you came to me not only for this, but for something." ”
"Okay!" Liang Dong nodded lightly and said, "First of all, it's about business, if there are no other changes, I hope everything is as usual." ”
"No, Terry, I'd still like to be able to lower the commission, business isn't going to be good right now. Handy looked straight at Liang Dong, which was much tougher than the last time they had a conversation.
"It's not for me to call the shots, but I'll react to the above. After Liang Dong finished speaking, he looked at Handy, shrugged his shoulders, and said, "So, Handy, the general cooperation is still the same, right?"
"Well, except for the fact that the division is going to be dropped, everything is as before. Old Handy raised his eyebrows and looked at Liang Dong with a smile.
"You're an old bastard. Liang Dong scolded with a smile, raised the wine glass in his hand, and touched Old Handy lightly, before continuing: "Although the current business is not as hot as in the past, relatively speaking, everyone still earns a lot. Handy, you have to know in your heart that even if you agree to reduce this share, it won't be a lot, especially now that you have so much business in your hands, the top will not easily agree to reduce this percentage of the commission. But it's not my turn to call the shots, is it?"
Hearing Liang Dong say this, Old Handy frowned, many things can't be viewed purely from one side. If this matter was before, it might have been a few points of success, but now, the scale of his business has almost doubled, and if he wants to get those policemen to agree to give up such a large amount of income, even if the people above reluctantly agree, the people below are also dissatisfied.
After all, no matter who it is, I don't want the money in my hand to become less, since I can't get it from my side, then I will inevitably find a way to make up for it from other aspects, just looking at Terry Mulden sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, old Handy knows that this matter must be full of twists and turns.
Handy Sr. was right, Liang Dong was right, there were many people in the whole neighborhood who opened gambling games privately like Tedesco's youngest son, and Rasti opened gay bars.
It's just that the harvest in everyone's hands was not bad before, and no one wanted to be too serious, so they just turned a blind eye and forgot it, but if the draw really dropped, then the originally idle people may have to get busy.
Maybe it's better this way, just like Tedesco's youngest son, everyone's income is definitely indispensable, and maybe even higher. Of course, in this way, there will be a lot less business in the whole block, and the money in the hands of old Handy in the real sense will be a lot less than before.
The commission is reduced, and on the surface, it seems that Old Handy and his gang need to pay less, but in the end, the money they put in their hands may not be much more.
Old Handy may not be unaware of this truth, but he still insists on reducing the commission, after all, he has just come to the position, although as the deputy of Old Paton, Old Handy's prestige in the entire organization is not low, but at this time, he still needs to do something to consolidate his position.
Seeing Old Handy sitting in that position, Liang Dong couldn't help but sigh and said: "I really admire Mr. Parton, his determination is unmatched, such a position is said to give up, let it out, this kind of heart is really convincing." ”
"yes, I wish I could have that day. Old Handy touched the leather back of the chair and said with some emotion.
"So," Liang Dong stared straight at Old Handy and asked in a deep voice, "Do you have any clues about Rasti here?"
"Rasti, no. Old Handy shook his head decisively and said, "After what happened last night, we originally wanted to ask Rasti to come back to preside over the funeral, but we have not been able to find him, otherwise we would not have called Los Angeles to ask Gary and Rosemary to come back." ”
Hearing Old Handy say this, Liang Dong couldn't help frowning, this guy really didn't show his mouth at all. Taking a deep breath, Liang Dong said in a deep voice: "Now the situation is different, not long ago, I met Rasti, just called him twice, he suddenly shot at me, almost injured passers-by, I could only be forced to fight back, and finally he kidnapped a woman, and then drove away alone, and now the police have launched a wanted arrest for him." ”
"Oh, is that so? If it's true, then I support you in bringing him to justice. Old Handy raised his head and looked at Liang Dong, his eyes flashing with sharp light.
