Chapter 21

On the night of Willard intercontinental's break, Li Zitao saw the Minister of finance, who was here to meet with the president.

"It is also known as the presidential palace. Basically every president has visited it. Some of them are our regular visitors, including Adams, grant and Lincoln..."

Sitting on the creaking iron gate elevator up, the hotel's personal butler calmly introduces the history of the hotel.

Looking at the opponent's poker face with standard indifferent eyes, Li Zitao silently praised him in his heart, "this beep must be full score, and I'm not afraid of pride!"

The three room executive suite can be called luxurious. The local gold, precious fur carpet, famous paintings with historical flavor are hanging on the wall at will, and the small objects placed everywhere have its unique origin.

It is as gorgeous as a palace to Li Zitao, who lived in a pig's nest two months ago, or Li goudan, who sleeps on the air leaking wooden board every day.

After a comfortable bath, Li Zitao suddenly wanted to have a drink, but when he looked up, the wine cabinet in the reception hall was empty.

"What can I do for you, sir?" After calling the housekeeper and saying he wanted a drink, the other party was silent for a moment and asked, "what kind of wine would you like?"

“……” Sure enough, there are countermeasures at the top and policies at the bottom.

Close to the White House, Willard intercontinental, known as the presidential palace, provides drinks during prohibition.

Li Zitao thought in disgust. Now, the president and the finance minister in the presidential suite are shaking their glasses and discussing how much tax revenue the state has lost due to the prohibition.

In the early morning, in a big bed for six people to lie side by side, Li Zitao opened his warm goose down quilt and stood in front of the window full of energy, looking at the busy traffic downstairs.

I saw Paul in the restaurant. It seems that he had a good night life last night. I don't know if other people have been arranged.

"Sir, we will pass the tomb of the unknown soldier later. Do you need to stop?" When the bus left, the driver suddenly opened his mouth.

"Is there anything special about it?" Li Zitao did not know Washington and even American culture, whether in the past or in the present.

"The unknown soldiers who died in the battlefield are buried there. They change their posts every hour, and there is a flower offering ceremony every day. Many veterans and citizens will spontaneously go to participate. It's very meaningful."

Hearing that there would be veterans to participate, Li Zitao's eyes brightened and he was moved: "then go and have a look."

Shendun bureau is the most important group he attaches importance to, which is to ensure that he will not be slaughtered as a cow. Li Zitao is most interested in veterans.

Especially the veterans who retired after the Spanish American war. These people have experienced real wars, and some of them are in the same year. Aegis needs their valuable experience.

By the way of Arlington Cemetery, the car stopped at the side of the road. The driver took Li Zitao and Paul to the inside, while the others stayed in the car to wait.

"Don't laugh after the ceremony, or you will be hated by the army of America." When the milky white stone tablet appeared in the sight, Paul told in a hurry.

Although he has never been here, he knows the tomb of the unknown soldier, which has been built for eight years.

The American marines are waiting all day and changing their defense every hour. They have a special position in the hearts of the American marines.

To be a tomb guard is no less than a medal of honor for the Marines. It can be said that they regard this work as one of the highest honors of the army.

Knowing this, Li Zitao straightened his mind, and suddenly felt a solemn and dignified momentum hanging over him, which made him feel nervous involuntarily.

"The ceremony is about to begin." The driver in front said solemnly.

Speed up the pace, a few people standing under the big stone tablet, looking at the soldiers carrying guns with strong strides, forward without a squint. There is also a soldier opposite him, who strides forward.

The two met precisely at the central dividing line of the stone tablet, and the spear was handed over to his successor in a fierce and solemn manner.

The eyes exchanged between the two soldiers seemed to be not handing over a gun, but a certain spirit and will.

Even when the ceremony was over, Li was still immersed in that atmosphere and could not wake up. He was really shocked.

He also visited the ceremony with many citizens, some of whom were slowly lowering their saluting arms, and their eyes flashed with reminiscence.

Just then, a sergeant in military uniform came from the side. When he saw the veterans who came to attend the ceremony, his face showed a brilliant smile.

"Charles, Jerry, Malone..." The sergeant hugged each soldier warmly.

When the embrace was over, a woman in a top hat, high-end dress and fur shoulder came forward, took off her hat and saluted, holding the sergeant's hand and saying, "thank you for your service."“Thankyouforyourservice。” The citizens who attended the ceremony spontaneously came forward and expressed their sincere thanks to the sergeant.

From their words and deeds, we can see that most of them come from middle-class families. They have received good education and can eat good bread and cheese.

Li Zitao suddenly understood how the United States rose to be a superpower.

“Thankyouforyourservice。” Unconsciously, he even joined the procession of greeting and stood in front of the sergeant.

“……” When he saw the sergeant's hard face, Li Zitao was suddenly confused.

Who am I, where am I, what the hell am I doing???

“thankyou。” No matter what, the sergeant still expressed his thanks to Li Zitao. Just as he turned to leave, he suddenly asked, "by the way, are you a new immigrant?"

"Yes, sergeant." Li Zitao's heart trembled and a smile appeared on his face.

"Thank you very much. Goodbye." The sergeant waved and laughed.

"Why didn't you stop me, FK." When he got down from the top, Li Zitao's legs were all soft. He didn't know his identity until now.

"By the time you saw it, I had gone up." Paul said innocently.

"Forget it." Back in the car, Li Zitao was relieved. He had to deal with his identity as soon as possible. His recent success made him a little overwhelmed.

The car drove all the way to Atlantic City. When it stopped again, they were in front of the famous plank street, also known as the seaside Avenue. Li Zitao remembered that it was very close to nuki's place.

But what he'd better wonder now is whether the widow, who is a whore and wants to build a memorial archway, really exists.

Li Zitao met him for the second time in nuki's room at the Ritz Carlton Hotel.

"Welcome to Atlantic City. Have you had a good trip? Lee. " Nuki opened his arms and welcomed him with a smile.

"I'm flattered by the intimate arrangement." To be honest, Li Zitao opened his eyes just because of the arrangement of the hotel. He could do whatever he wanted with money.

"The dance starts at 7 o'clock. You can go to the bar on plank street first, or you can go and play some games." Nuki patted him on the shoulder, showing enthusiasm.

"See you in the evening, of course." Li Zitao certainly understood the obvious order to leave.

When you go downstairs and turn left, you can see the numerous bars. Even in the daytime, it is still very lively.

There are various kinds of "drinks" in the bar, which make every man forget to return. However, Li Zitao is not interested. Who knows what kind of drinks are mixed.

Even if he wants to drink, he will only drink from the high-end hotel, at least to ensure that he will not drink bad brain.

"Have you found the right company?" The soft plank road, let a person walk each step, have a kind of slightly sink, then bounce up the feeling, is very novel.

"Boss, do you know Milwaukee?" Asked Paul, who was next to him.

"Well, of course." Li Zitao quietly nodded his head, but there was some strange feeling in his heart.

"There is a brewery named Miller in Milwaukee, which is on the verge of bankruptcy due to the prohibition of alcohol. We can get it for only $20000,

skilled workers and mature technology, including a complete set of instruments for brewing wine."

Li Zitao wants to buy a beer company, mainly wheat beer and light beer. Paul thinks this is a good idea.

We should know that the current circulation is some spirits, but beer has become a scarce commodity. If we can successfully produce it, we can count the money to cramp.

But now the prohibition order is still hanging on the head. As long as the work is started, someone will report it. The sound of the machine and the smell of wine can't be concealed from those who have the intention.

Agents like mad dogs will immediately rush to the door and arrest people.

"Paul, you know, prohibition can't last forever." Li Zitao meaningful smile: "perhaps, this year it will be banned?"

“……” Paul turned his mouth and said nothing, but he didn't think so.

People always think that this year will end, this year will end, this year will definitely end

But year after year, the prohibition has lasted for nine years, and the women's movement is still endless, and there is no end at all.

And without prohibition, how could those wines bring huge profits?

The prohibition order disappeared, and alcohol could be produced legally, but the huge profits also disappeared, so Paul couldn't understand what he was thinking.

If he knew the future beer market, saw that even a bottle of water could sell hundreds or thousands of dollars, and saw the huge benefits, he would understand Li Zitao's idea.

Unfortunately, this secret is only known by Li Zitao himself, and he will always keep his mouth shut.

Moreover, when the great depression comes, who has the time to manage the production of wine? When that time comes, they should be concerned about having a full meal, and the prohibition agents are no exception.However, it will be until 1933, when the prohibition of alcohol is explicitly banned. These three years are almost golden age. There are countless blank markets in North America waiting for their new owners.

"Take it, pay as you go, hire German and Mexican brewers, study better ale, light or strong." Li Zitao thinks of German beer and corona, which were popular all over the world in the past.
