Chapter 1448: Lilia's Choice
Thinking of this thought, Lilia's heart couldn't help but start pounding!
Although reason told Lilia that her idea was ridiculous and naïve, the idea was like a wild wheat sprout in the spring, and since it came to Lilia's heart, it began to grow at a crazy speed that Lilia herself could not control, and Lilia could even see the great prospects and rewards for both parties when the Gambino family and Alice Group established a partnership.
All of this, just like a sultry vixen in front of you constantly scratching your head and teasing your fragile nerves, making you feel that you are becoming more and more unable to control yourself, you know that you can't do this, but at this time, the brain has lost the command of the body, or the deep instinct of the brain directly takes over the command of the brain, and you can only be a spectator on the side - I don't know if there is such a thing as a fox spirit in Western myths and legends?
Say it? Don't say it? The two thoughts kept echoing in Lilia's brain, constantly impacting Lilia's brain cells, like two naughty elves, constantly tossing and turning in Lilia's brain, Lilia felt that if she didn't make a quick decision, her brain would probably only blow up.
There is no doubt that if Lilia brought it up so blatantly, as far as Zhang Lan's identity is concerned, this is not a decision at all, he can do it, but who knows if he will refuse? Who knows if Alice Group can afford this "small business"? If Zhang Lan is rejected, wouldn't the Gambino family's face be lost by themselves?! Lilia can't afford to lose this face, and the Gambino family can't afford to lose it.
But don't say it? Who knows if the Alice Group will agree? If the Gambino family lost such a great opportunity because they didn't say it...... Just the thought that this could happen made Lilia feel that she would never be able to forgive herself, this was most likely the closest the Gambino family had come to her family's dream, even close to the point of being within reach.
Although Lilia is a rebellious and naughty girl, this little princess of the Gambino family is an existence that makes the entire Gambino family feel pain, not only naughty, but also seems to be born with rebellion, but under the mask of rebellion and naughty, never doubt Lilia's loyalty to the Gambino family and the innate sense of honor on her body, as long as she can do it for the Gambino family, Lilia will spare no effort to help the family do it.
Because she knows very well that only when the family is strong can she live a happier life - the reason why the Gambino family has been able to stand for hundreds of years in the world underworld organization by successive Italian governments is absolutely impossible if there is nothing outstanding about herself.
This is the belief that every descendant of the Gambino family has been deeply imprinted in their bones since they were born, and it is also the fundamental reason why the Gambino family has been able to inherit and stand for hundreds of years, and has experienced countless blows without falling.
Compared with a worldwide mafia organization such as Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi, which has grown and grown with the support of the state, the mafia, which is managed by family-oriented members, is not comparable to an underworld organization such as the Yamaguchi-gumi, in terms of family centripetal force or organizational cohesion.
Don't think that the Yamaguchi-gumi can be complacent with the name of the world's largest triad organization, they are much more tender than the mafia that has a history of hundreds of years. For example, what happened to the Black Dragon Society, Japan's most notorious underworld organization during World War II, after losing the support of the government? It quickly disappeared, but the Italian mafia, led by the Gambino family, never had the support of the Italian government, even under Mussolini. …,
"What's wrong? Miss Lilia? Seeing that Lilia's little face suddenly wrinkled tightly, and she gritted her teeth as if she remembered something, as if she remembered an enemy who had a deep hatred for her, Zhang Lan was startled and asked Lilia cautiously.
"Huh? Yes? Oh, nothing, nothing. Zhang Lan's sudden question obviously broke Lilia's ongoing thoughts, so hearing Zhang Lan's voice, Lilia was startled and subconsciously took measures to protect herself.
"Oh." Zhang Lan responded, the reason why Zhang Lan asked such a question just now was just out of politeness, and she didn't mean to inquire about Lilia's thoughts, since Lilia didn't want to say it herself, then she naturally didn't have a reason to get up and annoy, the dignified little master of the Alice Group, if he was still stubborn about such a thing, wouldn't he be laughed out of his big teeth? What's more, how can he, the Gambino family, make the future successor of the Alice Group do this to them?
But Zhang Lan didn't say anything, Lilia regretted it in her heart and was about to cramp, if she could, Lilia couldn't wait to give herself two mouths: What a good opportunity just now? If I had seized the opportunity just now, maybe this would have happened. Although Lilia is not very sure of this, how can she know without trying? What's more, if you take 10,000 steps back, even if Zhang Lan can't agree, then there's no loss for you, right?
The atmosphere at the scene became a little awkward for a while, and there was nothing to say between the two, and even Jessica, who has always been smart and clever, didn't know what to say.
Originally, the three of them simply belonged to the three circles, Zhang Lan was able to share a little common language with Jessica, but it was just because there were a lot of movies that she had watched a little, and she could talk to her about the development trend of the movie, as for the circle where Lilia is? I'm sorry, although Zhang Lan has been in this circle, he also cleaned up a handful of Japanese black cubs back then, and also included the Ku Klux Klan in the United States into his pocket, and even has the most powerful mercenary organization in the world: Bayonets and Roses, but the specific details, Zhang Lan is completely unclear. And even if Zhang Lan knew the details, it would be impossible for him to talk to Lilia about these issues without being familiar with them.
As for saying that the two of them can also talk about the wind and snow? Dude, you coax a three-year-old.
In such a situation, what can you expect Zhang Lan and Lilia to say?
Since there is nothing to do, let's just watch the process of filming a movie, although this process is definitely not as comfortable as watching a movie on weekdays, but anyway, it is much better than the relative silence of these two people, right? Not a lot of words
"By the way, Mr. Zhang, is it convenient to leave a phone number?" After staying for a while and feeling bored, when Zhang Lan was about to get up and leave, Lilia, who had been brewing her emotions, finally mustered up the courage and asked Zhang Lan.
Considering so many people so far, Lilia feels that she is still a little unable to open her mouth, but if she calls him in private, even if she is rejected, she won't feel too embarrassed, right? Not a lot of words
"Of course." Different from Lilia's inner anxiety, Zhang Lan wrote down a string of numbers from the small notepad she carried with her very happily and handed it to Lilia, "This number can find me at any time." ”
Lilia was overjoyed! For Zhang Lan's action, people who don't know may still despise it in their hearts: look at this poor ghost, he can't even print a business card! But those who really understand know that in their circle, there are three kinds of names, one is a business card with an ordinary texture, printed with the phone number of their own office or their assistant or secretary, in addition to the name of the company, their own position, this kind of business card is usually for those partners who have a good relationship with their own industry, newly recruited new managers, with whom they have business dealings; …,
The second type of business card is much more exquisite, usually this kind of Ning piece is made of metal or other precious materials, and the business cards that have been processed by laser etching process on the brushed aluminum plates used by Zhang Lan and Xiao Chenxi, Zhang Zongjun and Yang Zhi belong to this kind. In addition, there are those who use metal plating, and even the ones with ox forks use sterling silver and even expensive pure gold as the material for making business cards. Compared with the first type of business card, the audience of this kind of business card is much smaller, and it is generally used for people you don't know or want to make friends in one of your circles, or for meeting people who are higher than your own circle, to show your respect for the recipient.
As for the third kind of business card, it has reached the realm of returning to the basics, which is purely handwritten, which seems to be very casual, but those who really know the inside story of it are hoping that they can get these big people to write a business card for themselves for a long time and can't get it. Usually, it is only given to those who the owner thinks are qualified to give, and usually this kind of business card may not be able to give out one a year. Generally speaking, this kind of business card also means a limited commitment, that is: when you have something that you need my help with, I will help you as much as I can, but if things are beyond the boundaries of what I can help you, then I'm sorry, I can't put myself in it, right? After all, we are all in the same circle.
But even so, it is enough to make many people flock to this kind of business card, don't forget, in the society will be mixed, who does not have a hurdle that cannot be passed?
However, even the most ordinary first type is not available to everyone, after all, at this level, even an ordinary business card has a different general meaning, let alone the third type ......of pure handwriting.
