Chapter 193: Cover-up
Rodriguez regretted it at this time, and it turned out to be completely different from what he expected, or rather, the incident did not go according to the script from the beginning.
When he received a call from Jonas, he was very happy. Jonas's banking, including access to investment, is what people like him need most.
The most secret account is not an account that no one knows, but mixes one's own capital with other people's capital, so that people cannot distinguish it and cannot be traced.
Jonas has the foundation for this.
So, after receiving a call from Jonas, he deliberately made a big deal out of it.
Big, his risk doesn't increase, and his cost doesn't increase.
But because of the retaliation of the injured party, he has more opportunities to contact Jonas and has a closer relationship.
However, because of the European Cup, Jonas trained behind closed doors, so this matter did not continue to ferment.
To his surprise, Jonas had almost forgotten about it.
Secondly, Nicole, a little girl, because she likes Jonas and is afraid of implicating Jonas, categorically denied in front of the police that the Weinstein case had anything to do with her, and she didn't even dare to talk to Jonas on the phone.
Finally, on Weinstein's side, he underestimated how much cutting off his ears hurt Weinstein and underestimated Weinstein's madness.
Now, Jonas and his bodyguards were shot, or during the Olympics, so that this matter cannot be suppressed at all.
The most important thing is that because Jonas was shot, this incident was originally a bond that brought the relationship closer, but it became a taboo thing for both parties.
For Rodriguez, the black boss, because of the lack of control, good things have become bad things.
That night, he had no one for almost the night, and he had been using his connections to hide the events behind this incident.
And to do this, it is necessary not only to soothe Jonas's side, but also to deal with Weinstein, the madman.
Early in the morning of August 2, Rodriguez called back his youngest son, Toledo, who was studying at Caltech for a summer vacation in Las Vegas.
Toledo, his proudest son, was admitted to Caltech with honors and has a great talent for math.
Since high school, Toledo hasn't asked him for a penny, and all of his expenses have been earned back at the table based on his mathematical talents.
Moreover, he had never been involved in the affairs of the gang, so it was most appropriate for him to come forward to meet with Jonas.
A Ferrari drove into the courtyard, and Toledo got out of the car, followed by a girl in cool clothes.
The men of the Rodriguez family are very popular with women, and Rodriguez didn't say anything about Toledo before, but today, a trace of dissatisfaction welled up in his heart.
However, he did not show it, and when Toledo left the girl alone and walked through the courtyard alone to hug him as he stood in the doorway, he patted Toledo on the back.
"My child, I need your help today. ”
"Dad, as long as it's not your gang business, I'll never say no to you. ”
"Come in and say. ”
Entering the house and sitting down, Rodriguez explained the cause and effect of the incident, but he hid the reason why he deliberately wanted to make things bigger and finally got out of control.
Finally, he said: "I need you, an innocent but powerful middleman, to meet Jonas and apologize to him." We need a friend like Jonas, and you're the best fit. ”
Although he grew up in the United States, Toledo goes on vacation to Mexico every year, and he also loves football.
He didn't feel ashamed to hear that he just went to see Jonas, who had just shined at the European Championships, and then apologized to the other party.
"Since yesterday evening, the media all over the world have been broadcasting this Jonas Hoffman. I never imagined that this matter had something to do with us. ”
"You're about the same age, and you're both college students, so I'd be very happy to be friends. ”
Toledo shrugged his shoulders and said: "Being friends depends on the aura, personality, and hobbies of the two people, but if possible, I will accommodate him to have a good relationship with him." ”
Seeing that Toledo agreed, he was in the mood to care about his son's affairs. "How's it been in Las Vegas lately?
"Of course not, Dad. I believe I can make a living of poker. ”
Rodriguez patted him on the shoulder and said, "As long as you don't take drugs, go enjoy your life!"
Seeing Toledo drive his Ferrari out of the house again, Rodriguez sank his face and said to his subordinates: "Bring my satellite phone, I need to think about how to eliminate the hidden danger now." ”
Standing in the courtyard, Rodriguez dialed Ritchie's phone. "Mark, what do you need me to do now? Make the Weinstein brothers disappear from the world?"
"No, at least not now. I've arranged for Ursula to go to New York, and you'd better keep in touch with her. ”
"Okay, I promise there won't be any surprises this time. ”
Richie said on the other end: "Attitude. Delis, I've never been afraid of accidents, I just care about solving problems. ”
"Mark, please believe you, a friend of more than twenty years, I am your friend who has been by your side since you worked with Castro. ”
"Well, let's do it. I need you to keep an eye on the target to keep him out of our sight. ”
The headquarters of the three major television networks in the United States, NBC, CBS, and ABC are all in New York, and before Ursula arrived in New York, other partners of the interest group had already made appointments with Ursula to make appointments with the heads of the three major television networks.
Take NBC as an example, now GE is planning to buy NBC, and the specific manager is Michael Steinhardt.
Steinhardt is the core personnel of the interest group that does not exist on the surface, and most of the more than 5 billion funds in his hands come from the legitimate funds of the partners of the interest group.
He came forward to arrange a meeting, not to mention the president of the other party, even the big boss behind the scenes should also give face.
And in Armenia, there are many members like Steinhardt, who can influence not only the economy of Armenia, but also the politics here.
It was also because of the presence of such a member that Richie never really worried about what Armenia could do to him.
The state is a real existence, but power is an illusory existence. All that controls power is only people, and people's positions are not static.
Even though Armenia's large oil conglomerates hated Richie, there were even more people who liked him.
Not to mention, in the past history, Richie has made great contributions to Armenia.
Whether it was the war on the peninsula or the blockade of Cuba, Rich once played the role of Soros in later generations.
It's just that Richie has bigger ambitions and develops a different industry.
Soros is a speculator, and he must have the support of the government, or he can bankrupt him at any time.
But Richie is in the resources industry, it's oil, and when he can make more money on his own, when he has more and more supporters behind him, his position will naturally change.
"Harvey, something is wrong, someone was found to be monitoring on the company's side, how are you doing at home?"
Shocked by a call from his brother Bob, Harvey went to the window of the villa and looked out at the street through the curtains.
The streets were calm and the same as usual, but he found a car that did not belong to Cross in the parking space of Cross's house not far away.
Moreover, this kind of glass is a Chevrolet with reflective paper, but it is a favorite of the gangsters.
"I know Bob, it looks like I'm going to be out hiding for a few days. ”
Hanging up, he found the satellite phone and dialed one.
But after the other party connected the phone, he changed his previous stutter. "Mr. Weinstein, do you know how wrong you were?
It's the Olympics, they're world-class stars, and seeing today's media coverage, don't you realise where you stand?
Please don't call me, I can't do anything in this situation. ”
"Bastard, you've already taken the money. ”
"I know. So I'll give you a piece of advice, it's best to turn yourself in and keep your mouth shut, so that you can still have a life. ”
Weinstein was a little anxious, slowed down his tone and said: "Casper, I still don't understand why a young man in Europe can have such a big influence, I need to know the reason, so that I will not have a wrong judgment." ”
He is not afraid of the police, as long as the police can't find evidence, there is no way to take him.
But these gangsters don't know how to tell the evidence. As long as they are suspected, they will retaliate.
"I'm just a little minion who eats on the streets, where do I know about the upper echelons. However, this morning, there was news from the Dao, and the three of the five major families, Gambino, Henoves, and Colombo, all let out the words, and no one should get involved in your affairs.
Harvey, if it is just to offend a family, there are still people who dare to take risks. But the three major families came forward, and no one dared to get involved. ”
After saying this, the other party didn't even say goodbye, and hung up the phone directly.
This also means that the back road he originally left for himself has been blocked.
At this time, he was really scared, and even really wanted to follow Casper's reminder and go directly to the police station to turn himself in.
Moreover, even if he turned himself in, he couldn't say anything, at most he could only say that he was jealous that Jonas had a beauty like Nicole and wanted to rob this beauty.
Only by being jealous can this matter be calmed down.
If he had implicated the other party in the fire two months earlier, he suspected that he would not have survived if he went to prison.
In prison, for a pack of cigarettes, for a bag of food, some people are willing to do it.
He didn't want to go to jail......
