what things are on the blackmarket??  is there anything i could use for smuggling, drug production, or counterfeiting??

if no: replant our drugs, upgrade facility if possible.  plan for future heists and prepare as such

if yes: list me the options and from there i will make a decision

regardless of if there is anything to help me on the black market, talk to the gambler mafiosos and ask if theres anything they need help with, i must get to be good friends with the gambini mafia

purchase the front from the lucci mafia

ask the jews what they want us to do to """"""""promote"""""""" them

Hmmm, let's check out the black market.

Nothing found for smuggling as of yet.

However, there are some parts for drug production that can upgrade specific drug farms.
Pile of Parts 1: Can be used to upgrade methlabs by one level. $50000, good instructions.
Pile of Parts 2: Can upgrade labs (unknown which labs these parts work for) by three levels. $40000, no instructions.
Pile of Parts 3: Can be used to upgrade LSD labs by one level. $25000, some vague instructions.

(To clarify since I haven't implemented lab "levels" until now, currently the meth farm and LSD farm are at level 1. From now on, the methlab will make 5 meth per update, and the LSD lab will make 8 LSD per update. Each level will add +2, +3, or +4 to the amount produced per update. The level max will be 30 (aka 65-125 meth max and 68-128 LSD max, will be decided later)

As for counterfeiting, there are some printers.
(Printers will print a certain amount of money per update. They also may have a lifespan where, if not maintained, it will malfunction. Maintaining the printers will take up a whole update and will prevent collecting money from them for that update, and may also cost 10% of the original price.)
Regular Printer: Can print $5000 per update. Lasts 10 updates without maintenance. $20000, $2000 to maintain it
Print-o-Tron: Can print $10000 per update. Lasts 5 updates without maintenance. $30000, $3000 to maintain it
Advanced Printer: Can print $7500 per update. Lasts 20 updates without maintenance. $40000, $4000 to maintain it
Superprinter: Can print $30000 per update. Lasts 30 updates without maintenance. $100000, $10000 to maintain it.

Be careful of scams, even if the description of the item doesn't seem to give off suspicion of a scam! The more valuable and powerful items tend to be more likely to be scams (aka lower limit of "scam-or-not" on rolling)

You also send a diplomat to talk with the Gambini Mafia.

The diplomat asks if the Gambinis need help.
The Gambinis request for "mercenaries" to be used for seizures of some drug farms; their owners were not specified.
The diplomat tries to force the Gambinis to reveal the owners.
The Gambinis say that they want to attack Lucci drug farms, but they need mercenaries from a gang not currently associated with the Three Families, maybe even disguise as Loranzios to rally the Luccis for war:
 - As a reward for that help, the Crimson Mafia can open up a new front near the Talking Stick Casino with Gambini protection, as long as it isn't a casino. 
 - Another reward would be that they can use one and only one of the seized drug farms if two or more were captured.

Another diplomat is sent to the Lucci Mafia to negotiate a front trade. The price for buying up the front is $50,000. The diplomat asks what is the front.
The Luccis' only hint is that the front is in Fountain Hills.

Crimson Mafia Vault: $672,111

A third diplomat is sent to talk with the Jewish mobsters. He inquires what the Jews need from the Crimson Mafia.
The Jewish mobsters ask for a Neo-Nazi who assassinated a few Jewish mobsters and robbed one of their fronts to be killed, and his connections figured out.
They want a "loan" of $150,000 to start operating drug farms, counterfeiting centers, and to improve their current fronts.
In exchange, they will offer shipments of Israeli weapons, since the Jewish mobsters have a sizable foothold in the Arms Trade. They will also offer assistance in intelligence, since the Jewish mob "has the best intelligence of any gang in the town."
The diplomat asks for an example of their "intelligence" at work.
The Jewish mobsters reveal that their intelligence found out that Alesaba is planning a wave of terrorist attacks on anti-Muslim gangs' fronts: which happens to include the Crimson Mafia's main ally, the Russian Bratva. By extension, the Crimson Mafia may be hit. The Jewish Mob will offer assistance in case Alesaba goes crazy, and will be willing to carve up half of any captured Alesaba territory with your gang in case of a gang war.
The diplomat is in disbelief.

All the diplomats return to the Crimson Mafia HQ. Which offers will you accept, deny, or alter?

TL;DR: 
- Gambinis want soldiers in exchange for a drug farm (if the soldiers successfully capture atleast two Lucci drug farms) and a front near Talking Stick Casino that can be anything but a casino.
- Luccis are vague about the front they are offering, only saying that it is in Fountain Hills, and that they have to pay up $50,000 for it.
- The Jews want a Neo-Nazi assassinated, and $150,000, in exchange for Israeli weapons and assistance in intelligence. They reveal that Alesaba wants war with anti-Muslim gangs and their allies, which includes the Crimson Mafia and Russian Bratva.
