Chapter 243

"Squeak!" An extended version of the Lincoln car steadily stops at the door of a humble grilled ribs restaurant. Black gets out of the car and opens the door for Yuri.

"Boss, that's where the other party's appointment is!" Blake said awkwardly to Yuri. It looks like a fly restaurant. It's not where Yuri should be. But black still had to bring Yuri here, because Irish owners who secretly couldn't get along with Taj Mahal's Casino agreed to meet Yuri here.

Yuri reaches out his hand to black and looks up at the sign on the gate. The name of the visitor is Ben ratty, and there is a small line at the bottom of the sign, which serves all kinds of Irish food. This reminds Yuri of his first meeting with romonosov in the autumn. Yuri stood outside the door for a while, then pushed the door open and walked into the small restaurant.

The shop seemed empty at this time, but after a week's scanning, Yuri found three elderly people gathering in a corner to play poker. Yuri waited at the door for a while. There was no one in the shop to greet him. He could only walk in the direction of the three people.

"I'm sorry I'm late!" Yuri went to the card table and said aloud. However, no one paid attention to him. Those people played cards by themselves, as if Yuri didn't exist at all.

Yuri could only take out his stool and sit in the corner of the card table. He looked at several people on the table. These three people were obviously old, with thick beards on their lips, big cigars in their hands, and the ice in the whisky was slowly melting.

"What would you like?" An old woman who looked a little tough didn't know when she came to Yuri's back. She asked with a little impatience in her voice.

"Steak, beer!" Yuri said casually.

The old woman, with her hands akimbo, said in an indisputable tone: "since the opening of our shop, no one has ever ordered steak. Our guests only ordered roast spareribs and whisky with Irish black beer."

"Then roast the spareribs and whiskey with black beer!" Although Yuri was not satisfied with the old woman's attitude, he came to negotiate today and didn't want to entangle in these matters.

"Do you want to play a game?" The three people on the card table seem to have just finished a game. The old man sitting opposite Yuri is washing cards and asking Yuri.

"Of course!" Yuri replied with a smile.

The other side washed the cards and began to deal. Sure enough, Yuri was included in the deal. Yuri was cleaning up the cards in front of him and looking at the other three people on the card table.

"Are you Russian?" Asked an old man sitting on Yuri's right, puffing out a cigarette ring.

"Yes, I'm from Russia. I just took over the Taj Mahal casino. Nice to meet you!" Yuri tried to get closer to these Irish casino owners.

"That's a good casino! It's much more luxurious than ours, but your manager told us that you seem to have a little difficulty? " Said another old man on Yuri's left.

"Yes, there seems to be something wrong with our recruitment. There are very few applicants!" Yuri replied humbly.

"So you want us to help you point out the problems?" The guy sitting opposite Yuri asked.

"Yes, I just took over Taj Mahal. I don't have experience yet. I need the guidance of an elder like you!" Yuri replied.

The three men on the card table stared at Yuri for a long time, but their hands didn't stop. When the cards were finished, the old man sitting opposite Yuri said, "Russian, I think you have a good attitude. You are a person who can listen to the truth. I'll spend some time talking to you. My name is clement. They are James and Edward. Besides your Taj Mahal, the three biggest casinos in the city are ours. The three of us have been here since 1976, when the law here just approved the operation of gambling industry. In fact, the business here is not easy to do, but we have managed to survive all these years. We've made this place prosperous, but there are always people who want to take a ride who want to take a chance. You're not the first, you're not the last. But no matter who comes, he is not our opponent! " Clement raised his glass and took a sip. He looked at James, raised his cigar and puffed it.

"Taj Mahal's boss has changed a few times. I can't remember Edward!" James asked jokingly.

"With this new comer, it should be four times!" The old man named Edward laughed and raised his glass to give Yuri a little greeting.

James continued: "yes, it's only a few years! I remember that the first one who came to build the Taj Mahal casino was a real estate agent from New York I have to admit that his level of building houses is really good. The casinos are more beautiful than ours. But I can't remember his name. By the way, I saw his name hanging on it when I passed by your casinos last time! "

"Ha ha ha..." the three people on the gambling table burst out laughing.

"Who's behind it? You see I can't remember things when I was old, Edward. Do you remember James then asked.

Edward said, "back? Then came a few upstarts from Texas, who made some money by relying on oil. As a result, they couldn't work for three months. It is said that in the end, the people in the bank auctioned everything there! "

"Ah, ha ha ha..."

"Little guy, I won't tell you who the last boss was. It's said that they sold drug P and are still in prison! But I want to say, little guy, you really have a choice. I want to know if your casino is cursed by witches! " James continued.

"Hahaha... Hahaha..." there was another burst of laughter. Yuri was so angry that he clenched his fist. He understood that the three old guys were coming to humiliate him.

"Three bosses, I don't need you to worry about how I run the casino. Now I just want to ask, how can I recruit the employees I need?" Yuri asked in a cold voice, stifling his anger.

"Don't you understand why no one works for you, little fellow? The Taj Mahal Casino has changed four bosses in three years, and the employees in the casino have hardly worked for one year. Do you expect them to go on to work in such a place? " Clement replied coldly.

"Black, tell Mr. Tony of the Union for me that I'll pay the workers a year's wages in advance!" Yuri stood up, kicked over the chair and left without looking back.
