Chapter 154 Fried Shrimp Tempura, Northern Shrimp
On Saturday, the Corleon family sent a cadre to negotiate.
The Corleon family is one of the five major families in New York. This family has huge influence in New York and Chicago, and belongs to the top dark family in the United States in the 1840s.
Corleon, Basini, Tatagria, Scurazi, and Cucio.
These five families were the top tiers of the American underground world in the 1840s.
…………
The Corleon family's business is the largest bet registration and gambling business in New York and Chicago, and the largest lottery dealer in the Harlem area;
Basini family operates building materials, wholesale commodity markets and money lending;
The Tatagria family controls the scenery shop waiting for customers to come and takeaway socks who go to the phone when they receive the call;
The Skulazi family controlled the trade union, obtained government contracts, monopolized earthworks, urban greening, and house demolition;
Kuchio relies mainly on nightclubs and big mulberry leaves business;
…………
These families have the same commonalities as Italian and Irish as their main members.
The expansion of the Izakaya, a squattered white gathering areas such as Italian and Irish, has touched their basic base.
………………………………
This cadre who came to negotiate was Tom Hegen, a member of the Corleon family, known for their "hundreds of goals".
He is smart, sharp-talk, good at controlling the rhythm of negotiations, and is highly valued by his godfather.
The bar in the izakaya, the second generation Nobunagata, moved to the booth, and was burly and bloated.
In Tom Hegen's view, the second generation Nobunagaki is a mysterious ghost with black body and a white mask on his head, making a heavy sniff sound.
At this flagship store of Izakaya, the two of them were drinking brandy and chatting like old friends.
…………
Tom Hagen took a sip of brandy and said, "Mr. Nobunaga, the Corleon family can provide some protection for your property. You know that there are crimes, robberies, and forced frying in this place in New York every day...
”
The second generation Nobunagaki, in the white mask, could only see turbid eyes and bloated body, facing Tom Hegan: "So, what is the price Mr. Tom?"
Tom Hegan took a graceful bite of the triangular rice ball and nodded: "Well, this Asian cuisine tastes really good, the rice and cereals are very fragrant... The Corleone family needs 10%.
The second generation Nobunagaki repeated: "10%?"
Tom Hegan, swallowed a bite of rice ball, then inserted a piece of fried shrimp tempura with a fork, and said, "Yes, each store has a 10% turnover as the security management fee for operating this area."
The second generation Nobunagata took a sip of brandy and said frankly: "The Izakaya, the flying master, is a charity business. Every month it is balanced, and there is not even a 1% quota."
Tom Hegan was eating fried shrimp tempura, and he didn't even take a look at his explanation of the second generation Nobunagata.
…………
A charity business that is not profitable is impossible to expand into half of the poor New York community, and has long been eaten by the poor who fled in famine.
Tom Hegen judged that the Izakaya, the Flying Master, adopted a business strategy of small profits but quick turnover.
With a meager profit killing line, we mainly achieve high turnover of goods and obtain considerable profits through extreme cooking sales.
This makes sense logically.
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why the Izakaya, the flying master, expanded so quickly.
…………
【Ding! Hit the key】
Tom Hegan discovered that this kind of fried shrimp used in the lower-level restaurant was actually the northern long-term shrimp.
The northern long-term shrimp is cold-water shrimp, mainly produced in the Arctic Ocean and the North Atlantic Ocean and the name is obtained.
Cold-water shrimp grows very slowly and can reach fishing specifications in four years.
The body color of the northern long-fronted shrimp is red, and its growth cycle is initially when male gradually evolves into females, and then lays eggs and hatches.
Among other cold-water shrimp varieties, this shrimp is quite large and has a crispy meat.
In the 19th century, the largest northern long shrimp production area in the West Coast was Washington, Oregon and Northern California waters, with transportation and preservation difficult and limited supply.
…………
The northern long-term shrimp has a tight taste and is twice or three times the cost of ordinary prawns. Ordinary civilians cannot afford this ingredient.
Only high-end restaurants in Manhattan have a lot of demand for this cold-water shrimp.
This Izakaya, the flying noodle master, is used to make a 10-cent meal for poor people...
Too luxurious.
The Corleon family also has some hotels and catering industries in New York.
If you use northern long shrimp as ingredients for the food for the poor, even if you use dead cheap stinky shrimp, you will definitely lose money and go bankrupt.
………………………………
"Is this business really not profitable?"
A ridiculous thought flashed through Tom Hegan's mind.
The second generation Nobunagaki put down his wine glass and said, "It's a security issue, we can solve it ourselves..."
"You know, there are many believers in the place where the Izakaya, the flying noodle god, whoever makes them unable to eat enough will make it difficult for them."
“And there are a lot of volunteers in each of our restaurants. They look bad.”
The volunteers in the restaurant quietly picked up kitchen knives, spatulas, and bone-cleaning knives, and more than a dozen people surrounded Tom Hegan.
Tom Hegan ate another piece of fried shrimp tempura. He poured a glass of brandy, shook his wine glass, and said calmly: "Mr. Nobunagata, you know this is New York."
"Corion's source of influence is not just the Italian community and dozens of Chicago typewriters."
"If necessary, we can even mobilize dozens of police cars in Brooklyn, Staten Island, and the Bronx, and ask New York City Councillors to endorse it."
“The restaurant volunteers are brave, but their strength dimension is too single.”
…………
The second generation Nobunagaki did not immediately make a statement about Tom Hegan's remarks.
Swish! Swish! Swish!
The volunteers around were waiting for the order, and some even began to make harsh sounds of tool friction.
Chapter completed!
