Fiore Buccieri – My friend said to me you’re looking to invest some money down here in LA, is that it?

Harry Rothstein – Yes, that’s right. Me and my associate have discussed business with your Boss, everything is arranged, and he has given us the nod to proceed. He told us to proceed conversations with you about construction, licensing, location and so on.

F.B – Yes, I’ll help you on that regard. What kind of place you have in mind?

H.R – See, we’re into this very specific kind of gentleman’s club business if you know what I mean. For that reason, we’d like to ask you for as much discretion as possible, even though we know your people have most of the law enforcement in this city on your payroll. It’s just that this is the way we like to do business, it’s our nature, you know?

F.B – I do, and I admire who manages to work like that. I don’t understand why sometimes people make so much noise in this line of work.  But rest assured that that’s your last concern while working with us. I am here to facilitate things for you, and never the contrary. So long both parts get to keep their word, whatever you do inside those walls, no questions will be asked. It’ll be none of our business.

H.R – That’s exactly what we’re looking. Exactly that. So aside of the obvious, how is it that a man like you can help us, Mr. Buccieri?

F.B – Please call me Fifi. A friend of my friend is my friend! Would you like me to ask you for a drink? And to answer your question, my envelope pays for the load and the burden me and my men are going to take from you. We’re going to use our weight on making sure that your licenses are approved faster than others. We’re going make sure that whichever building you’re looking to buy it becomes your property and not someone else’s. We’re going to ensure that certain kind of people are going to look the other way while driving by. We’re going to ensure that whoever does the work charges you a very fair price. And not only that, but we’re going to ensure that whoever isn’t our people and happen to be your competition unfortunately won’t be able to operate anymore. Essentially, you’re going to enjoy the perks of getting a membership card of the union, and just like that? You become untouchable.

H.R – It’s been a while ever since someone impressed me Fifi. This all sounds like music to my ears, and I have a feeling that we’re going to get along very well. Regarding your offer, no thanks. I am in a bit of a rush, just wanted to pass by to meet you and discuss business face to face. Maybe some other time?

So, this was one of the many deals being finalizing for the city of LA in the past few days. If you’re part of those people that’d rather pay to have a job done and you’re also looking to set up business in your local business district, I strongly suggest that you get Fifi’s phone number somewhere and give him a call. Shouldn’t take long, this is a very small world. You never know when you find out that the man is what you need to facilitate a thing or two for you.
