Go to other areas of the map (such as Scottsdale, Tempe, or go on Highway 87 to the Mogollon Rim or Mesa) for more heist opportunities.

Checking out the drug labs:
45 meth has been made. (around $1000-3000 per meth) 2 UPGRADES AVAILABLE
72 LSD has been made. (around $2500 per LSD) UPGRADE AVAILABLE
Potential revenue (assuming that all drugs are sold at possible prices listed above): $225,000-315,000
Pile of Parts 2 can upgrade meth labs, weed labs, and cocaine labs. Whatever if it was a scam or not is yet to be determined.

There are still a few gangs attempting to do diplomacy with the Crimson Mafia.

The Romanian Mafia, being torn between supporting the Loranzios (who are friendly with the Russian Bratva) or supporting the Ukrainian Bratva (which will piss off the Russian Bratva) can offer assistance in the Talking Stick Casino heist if paid $100,000 (if attempted). Otherwise: they will just piss off. They will go away by the next update.
The Hindu Mob will offer you $10000 for an economic and military alliance. They will go away by the next update.
Alesaba demands $100,000 to avoid a "jihad." (Russian AND Ukrainian Bratvas, Romanian Mafia, Loranzio Mafia are hostile to Alesaba) Two more updates to consider paying up.

Fountain Hill locations:
State Highway 87 - either go to Mesa or to the Mogollon Rim: a rural forest and mountainous area with one decently-sized town called Payson and a few other villages.

Holiday Inn Express - have a good night's stay, strike up a new offer with the pro-Russian Bratva CEO, or bang a prostitute (a male one which is rare).

Black Market - buy and sell illegal shit here.
Euromarket - buy food and drinks from Eastern Europe
Al Banchi's Italian - mama mia, buy-a crap-a Italian food!

Angela receives a message from Doug Jackman, the guy who volunteered to be a hitman. He reports that the Neo-Nazi is dead, and that he had to fight off 7 bikers going with him with the help of the Jewish Mob. The bikers were part of the White Bears. Angela relays this information to the Jewish diplomat she met earlier, as she is unaware of who the leader of the Jewish Mob is. 

The leader of the Mob replies back: "Very good, goyim."

Current allies:
Jewish Mob (gained by diplomacy)
Gambini Mafia (gained by diplomacy)
Russian Mafia (allies from the start due to common nationality of leaders)

Current potential enemies:
White Bears (hostile to Jewish Mob, but not to Crimson Mafia)
Alesaba (should the CM not pay $100,000 to them within the next two updates)

sell meth at $2,000 dollar, LSD at $2,500

talk to rb about alesba and what they want and why they're so fucking GAY

is it possible i can talk to Romanian mafia and see what else i can do aside from tsc because i dont want to do that yet

A mob of Jewish gangsters have arisen, with pockets of territory scattered across Phoenix. The massively-Jewish community of Waddell is the new homeland of the Mob, although other Jewish ethnic pockets elsewhere are now under firm control of the Jewish Mob (JM). Those pockets tend to have fronts and/or bases for the Jewish mob to conduct their operations. It was strange for such a previously-irrelevant gang to suddenly own multiple well-run bases, one can wonder who could have propped them up...

Some Vietnamese gangsters were fed up of their treatment in the Ke-chan Triad, when they were shafted in favor of the Chinese majority of the Triad. They left and joined the Tran Boys (TB). Previously, the Tran Boys was a small, very localized gang in North Glendale, who were previously known for running a front for laundering and trading opium and heroin. The refugees carve up available territory near wherever they live in the name of the Tran Boys and have started to take control of Vietnamese-run parlors and restaurants in those new territories and converting them to fronts and bases. The Ke-Chans and the Trans are on the brink of war over this crisis.

The Brotherhood of the Ghetto has moved into central Glendale, previously not a part of any major gang. Central Glendale was a "confederation" of sorts of Black and Hispanic gangs that were so small and irrelevant that they didn't appear on the map at all! The BOTG either convinced those gangs to join them or eradicated them.

You sell off all the drugs you have so far. 

24 meth has been sold, as some customers thought the meth was too expensive.
All 75 LSD has been sold, and yet there is still high demand.

Profit: $235,500

Crimson Mafia Vault: $563,361

Angela personally talks with Vadim, the Russian Bratva leader, by phone.

Angela: Сэр, растрескиватели требуют от нас сто пятьдесят тысяч! Если мы не заплатим им «налог», они будут атаковать нас обоих! (Sir, the ragheads are demanding one hundred fifty thousand from us! If we do not pay them the "tax", they will attack the both of us!)

Vadim: Я получил то же самое, но они требуют от нас триста тысяч. (I got the same thing, yet they demand three hundred thousand from us.)

Angela: Похоже, что двое из нас должны будут уничтожить банду со всего города. Есть ли у вас чеченские, среднеазиатские, боснийские или албанские меценаты? (It seems that the two of us will have to eliminate the gang from the entire city. Do you have any Chechen, Central Asian, Bosnian, or Albanian mecernaries?)

Vadim: У меня есть некоторые чеченские предатели, гниющие вокруг. Я могу отправить их на теракт-самоубийство на случайном переполненном месте, если это то, что вы имеете в виду. (I have some Chechen traitors rotting around. I can send them on a suicide attack on a random crowded venue if that is what you mean.)

Angela: Они достаточно коричневые? (Are they brown enough?)

Vadim: Конечно, Анджела. (Certainly, Angela.)

Angela: Таким образом, все банды и полиция объединится, чтобы выследить Алесабу. (That way, all the gangs and the police will unite to hunt down Alesaba.)

Vadim: Но если все банды уничтожат Алесабу, то у нас будет меньше урона! Я думаю, что мы вдвоем можем с легкостью уничтожить Алесабу. (But if more gangs are taking down Alesaba, than we will have less of the spoils! I think the two of us can easily take down Alesaba.)

Angela: Большинство вещей Алесабы совершенно не в курсе, находясь в Западной долине и всех. Должны ли мы взять на себя все наши ресурсы для захвата этих земель? (Most of Alesaba's things are quite out of the way, being in the West Valley and all. Do we have to commit all our resources into taking those lands?)

Vadim: Что-нибудь еще для наших двух братов. (Anything for more for our two bratvas.)

Angela: Поэтому вы посылаете некоторых чеченцев, чтобы взорвать себя, я не знаю, когда и где, это ваш вопрос. Мы оба наверняка возьмем все дерьмо из раггета в Скоттсдейле. Если возможно, мы можем попытаться захватить их территории и активы, которые находятся дальше, чем другие банды, и полиция может взять на себя это. (So you send some Chechens to blow themselves up I don't know when and where, that is your issue. The two of us will take all of the ragheads' shit in Scottsdale for certain. If possible, we can try to capture their territories and assets that are further away before the other gangs and police can have their hands on it.)

Vadim: И если все остальное не удастся, кто будет надежными союзниками? (And if all else fails, who will be reliable allies?)

Angela: Ну, я подружился с еврейской толпой, и они ненавидят мусульман с огненной страстью. Они, безусловно, могут помочь нам. До сих пор они играют честно. (Well, I have made friends with the Jewish mob, and they hate the Muslims with a fiery passion. They can certainly help us out. They are playing fair so far with us.)

Vadim: У тебя есть план. (You got yourself a plan.)

Gang War Initated: The Reverse-Jihad
Russian Bratva, Crimson Mafia vs Alesaba
The Russian Bratva will start by using Chechen prisoners as suicide bombers disguised as Alesaba members to pluck into a crowded attraction, such as the stadiums in Downtown, Glendale, or Tempe, to emulate a false flag terrorist attack to rally the majority of the gangs and the police against Alesaba. Once the attack is carried out or attempted, the Crimson Mafia may begin their attacks.

---

After the talking, Angela sends a diplomat to talk with the Romanian Mafia. After that, a truck pulls over, and some Jewish mobsters unload multiple shipments of weapons.

5x Negev machineguns
25x Galil assault rifles
50x Uzi machine pistols
80x Desert Eagles

(stats for Galil and Negev coming soon)

The diplomat talks to the Romanian mafia about potential fronts, farms, or bases to buy up, or if they need any help.
Two diplomats respond to the Romanian mafia, both stating that the gang is divided between supporting the Ukrainians and Luccis or the Russians and Loranzios. The diplomat asks for the pro-Ukrainian diplomat to leave the room. He refused and he was shot dead.
Uneasy negotiations resulted in the pro-Russian faction of the Romanian Mafia to be funded $100,000 in preperation to secede from the pro-Ukrainian majority of the mafia.

The diplomat returns and reports that the Romanian Mafia is about to experience a split, hastened by funding of the faction that is friendly to the interests of the Russian and Crimson mafias.

talk to lucci mafia

wasnt dimitri going to the black market or smth?  i dont remember but i kinda wanna do something as him

what drug labs do you want to upgrade? How would you spread out your upgrades?

You set up the regular printer.

Regular printer set up! Starting in the next update, it will print $5000 per update for 10 updates. To have the lifespan "reset", maintain it for one update, which will cost $2000.

Angela sends a diplomat to talk the Luccis out of intervening with the LSD trade.

Diplomat: Look, we make good money from LSD. We don't want you to start selling LSD.
Luccis: Well, you gotta give us a really good reason not to.
Diplomat: I will offer you plenty of weapons, a methlab, and $80,000 so you can upgrade said methlab.
Luccis: But LSD is the current cash crop! Meth doesn't earn shit! Although we could use some more guns.
Diplomat: *sigh*

Will you attempt to strike up another offer with the Luccis, or will you disregard them and prepare for war?

---

Oh yeah, Dimitri.

Dimitri goes to the Black Market, but he is wondering what exactly should he buy.

That is when a few potential buyers see his shipment of Veprs and Fort-12s and offer him some trades.

Buyer 1: Wants: All Veprs|Will Give:$10000
Buyer 2: Wants: 1 Vepr, 2 Fort-12s|Will Give: $2400
Buyer 3: Wants: $4000, 5 Veprs|Will Give: A Golden AK-47 and a Golden Desert Eagle
Buyer 4: Wants: All Fort-12s|Will Give: $8000
Buyer 5: Wants: 10 Veprs, 20 Fort-12s, $20000|Will Give: A PKM and RPD, some smuggled Romanian Mafia plans
Buyer 6: Wants: 15 Veprs|Will Give: 20 cocaine bags

Dimitri's cash: $15550

You can attempt negoitation to change those offers, but since Dimitri is weak at charisma and his negotiation skills are unknown, there is a low chance of convincing them.

Alternatively, you can ignore all these buyers and look for something else.

Keep in mind that the black market is different in every location, so don't expect to find the same things here as in other black markets.

buyer 3

edit: forgot about cm

ask what the lucci's would want in exchange for us to share lsd """split""" the LSD that we make, and in exchange they dont set up a drug lab.

heres the catch: dont give them half of it, give them 1/4

Dimitri attempts the trade.

Dimitri: That is quite generous, don't you think?

Buyer 3: Oh. Right. Oh well, I gotta get rid of these golden weapons somehow.

 -$4000
- 5 Veprs

Diplomat: Ok, here's the deal. We will give you half of our LSD every week, and in exchange, you won't set up a LSD lab since you will be getting LSD from us. If you want more, you must pay extra.
Luccis: That.... seems sort of reasonable, but we want to be self-sufficient.
Diplomat: Self-sufficiency will come with a punishment. I will promise you that.
Luccis: We don't like that tone of yours. Fuck off.

The deal was a failure. They will probably risk building up an LSD farm.

- Potential Allies: Loranzio Mafia, maybe Gambini Mafia (depends on what happens by the time you pick this heist), maybe Romanian Mafia (depends on how the division of the Romanians will occur, and their shifted alliances due to the division), maybe Russian Mafia (depends on if they view the heist as necessary)
- Rewards: Eliminate Lucci Mafia from North Scottsdale and neighboring areas, potentially from the Phoenix area or Arizona entirely. Have all their money, equipment, intelligence; known bases, fronts, and farms in whatever areas they pull out from as a result of the loss of their main HQ available to your gang, your allied gangs, other participant gangs, and/or gangs neighboring the locations.
This heist can end the Crimson Mafia if it fails horribly. This is a huge-risk, huge-reward heist, so consider this EXTREMELY carefully.

Dimitri accepts Buyer 6's offers.
-15 Veprs
+20? bags of cocaine

Buyer 6: The Lucci Mafia thanks your gratitude for arming us in exchange for quality drugs.

Buyer 6 leaves.

Cocaine's typical value is $3000-5000 per bag.

However, as Dimitri opens up the briefcase, there are only 8 bags! Atleast its still enough for 20k even at $3000.

Dimitri sells off the 8 bags of cocaine at a negoitated price of $3500, making $28,000.

From that, he trades with Buyer 5.
- 10 Veprs
- 20 Fort-12s
- $20000
+ RPD
+ PKM
+ A document

Dimitri opens up the document, only to find that it is entirely in Romanian.

Poziția oficială a omului suprem al sindicatului român, Armand, este ca românii să rămână în alianță cu ucrainenii și Mafia Loranzio. Sa raportat că doar sectele occidentale ale sindicatului se supun Cuvântului Omului Suprem.
Sectările din est, conduse de liderul suprem al puterii, Mita, încep să se îndrepte spre colaborarea cu rușii și Gambiniși împotriva ucrainenilor și Loranzios.
Acest document descrie ordinea oficială de curățire, transmisă de la Însuși Omul Suprem, care vizează orice opoziție împotriva poziției oficiale a Omului Suprem. De aici, în acest document, oricare dintre ei va fi chemat de capitolul lor sau de liderul lor, și vor fi pur și simplu menționați ca disidenți.
Disidenții cunoscuți sunt descriși într-un alt document.
Unul dintre puținii caporegimi loiali în locul lagărului de disidenți va strânge disidenții împreună sub masca unei întâlniri în baza estică pentru ca aceștia să fie masacrați de români, încă loiali omului suprem. Nu lăsați mai mult să se răspândească opiniile disidenților cu privire la schimbările dispretuoase în alianțe. Nu lăsați disidenții să împartă mafia românească pentru viitorul preconizat. După cum se poate spune, scoateți o flacără într-o pădure înainte de a deveni o bombă imensă.
Pentru a reafirma și reangaja poziția omului suprem, o dată ce disidența este zdrobită, trebuie să fie programat și executat un atac asupra unui front rus Bratva și ambuscada unei înțelegeri iminente între Mafia Gambini și un nou sindicat din Fountain Hills. Planurile pentru atacuri, în detaliu, sunt într-un alt document.

All that Dimitri can understand out of the document are some names, "Fountain Hills", and some words that look similar to English: such as "Rus", "Atac", "document", "romanii" and "ucrainenii."

(You can not act based off of what the document says until it is translated, either by yourself, or through another person who may know Romanian, which may not be instant.)
