Chapter 164 [The Strongest Gangster Family!] 】
When I saw this Charlie, there were no traces of yellow people on his appearance, his appearance was very ordinary, he was very well-dressed, and he could see that he was a person in the entertainment industry, and his eyes were very godly, but he also showed a very cunning look.
"Give me a reason to hire you, sir." I sat behind my desk and looked at him: "Your qualifications are fascinating, but frankly, I have at least five candidates with similar qualifications for the same position, so you have to convince me with a reason why you feel like you're a better fit for the job than the others." ”
Charlie thought for less than ten seconds before he spoke to me.
"Because I'm going to be useful to you." Charlie smiled: "What I said is useful, not that I know much about this circle or anything else, because of these, others can do it." But I will be more useful to you, because I am obedient and will achieve what you want to do! For example, if you say that snow is black, I will tell you, yes, that's right, snow is black...... Then, I'll find a way to tell other people about this fact, and I'll also find a way to convince other people that the snow is indeed black! ”
Finally, the guy looked at me with a wink: "Look, a person like me, would it be useful to you?" ”
What a wonderful person! Without hesitation, I immediately got up and shook his hand: "Welcome to join us, my general manager. ”
************
It seems that Yang Wei has picked a very useful person for me!
As soon as this guy took office, the first thing he did was lay off employees! He just fired some of the people in the company and then laid out a good reason to tell me that we don't need them right now.
As it turned out, he was right, because after the layoffs, the efficiency of the company increased! [Heaven's Kiss Hand-hitting]
Then he picked out from the large number of social activities that I needed to participate in every day, which ones I should make friends with now, and which ones I could completely ignore at all. Which ones I want to show respect, and which ones I can sit and wait for them to lick my feet!
"Don't worry about people saying you're arrogant, and don't worry about offending people." Charlie told me, "It's a very realistic circle! As long as you are strong enough, then there will always be a group of people who will willingly lick your feet. Of course, you need to be respectful of those who are very powerful. Unless one day your power is stronger than theirs. ”
The content of my work has been greatly reduced - not that Charlie is more capable and intelligent than Yang Wei, but that he is more familiar with the circle.
He accompanied me to several press conferences and attended parties hosted by several Hollywood celebrities. Then it helped me build a good relationship with a few big-name brokers.
"You don't have to deliberately curry favor with those big-name stars. You are the owner of a film company, and no matter how popular they are, they are just a tool to make money for you! You just have to build a good relationship with those brokers. As for those stars, as long as you have the right script and salary in hand, they will recruit them. These, the broker can decide. ”
Charlie has been very dutiful in helping me gain a foothold in Hollywood and at the same time help me really integrate into the circle...... He also planned several events to keep the media focused on the new film.
"This is your first film since you took over the company, and it's a big production. So it can be said that this is our most important job right now! I suggest that you should cut back on your chances of being in the limelight and shift the media's attention away from you to the movies. Otherwise, the public will pay too much attention to you and pay less attention to the movie, which is a thing that outweighs the cost. You're already the owner of a film company. Even if the media pays attention to you, it will not add even a penny to your wealth! But if the movie is successful, it will bring you a lot of money. ”
This also coincides with Yang Wei's suggestion that I keep a low profile appropriately.
He's really capable, and he's sleek. I once saw with my own eyes that at a party, he told me privately that one of the producers who was hosting the party was an "arrogant fool who really thinks of himself as God's spokesman on earth if you say a few nice words." Moments later, however, he would hug the producer with great warmth and affection, as if he had been a close friend for many years.
He also taught me a few tips, such as how I should deliberately show some respect for Jews when facing Spielberg...... Sure enough, it was very effective.
From all the point of view, this general manager named Charlie really chose the right person.
************
However, even the most capable Charlie has times when he encounters problems.
On this day, Charlie knocked on the door of my office. I'm playing miniature golf with a club. I'm trying to learn this aristocratic sport, and although I didn't like it at first, it's really useful in actual social interactions.
"This is an invitation to a dinner party tonight...... And you're the only guest. Charlie's face was a little embarrassed.
"Oh?" I didn't pay attention to it at first, and I casually nudged the club and pushed the ball into the hole, and then I looked at him: "What's wrong?" Is there a problem with this invitation? ”
Then I deliberately teased: "This time, is it that I should be respectful?" Or should I wait for him to lick my feet? ”
In the past, when I told this kind of joke, Charlie would echo it very playfully, but this time, his brow was furrowed and his face was a little complicated.
Then he muttered for a few seconds before replying, "This ...... I can't make a definite evaluation of the other party this time, but all I know is that this person is something that everyone should respect - at least in front of him! And...... I don't think there's anyone in the whole of America who can sit and wait for him to lick someone's feet. In fact, if you can, I even think you should avoid this kind of person as far away as possible. Because if you get involved with him, you will be in great trouble. ”
I noticed the solemnity of Charlie's face, and there was no trace of smoothness on this guy's face at the moment, but a real worry.
Then he placed an invitation on my desk.
"Robert Gauge."
I frowned: "The name ......"
Charlie smiled bitterly, and then he whispered: "This name, even if Spielberg hears it, he will have a headache." Because he is a mafia...... A real, veritable godfather of the mafia! ”
After a pause, he added: "He is the godfather of the current 'Gambino' family. ”
At this point, I couldn't help but pause when I held the club!
After all, I'm in the underworld! Even though I'm in Canada, I don't know anything about the underworld in the United States!
At least, I know about the "Gambino" family!!
If the largest gang organization in the world is the mafia...... Then, the Gambino family, if not necessarily the most powerful family in the mafia...... Then they are at least the most famous mafia family!!
The world's most famous gangster movie, the classic "The Godfather" in the classics, is completely based on the story of the "Gambino family!! And the archetypal character in "The Godfather" is the first godfather of the Gambino family, Carlo Gambino!!
A legendary figure who exists like a god in the minds of mafia people all over the world!
It can be said that the godfather of the current mafia families hopes to imitate and surpass the most in his heart is Carlo Gambino!
How powerful are the Gambino family? I can't describe exactly what it is, but the few real events that have been circulated are enough to shock people!
One of the most prominent godfathers in the history of the first generation, Carlo Gambino, this legendary godfather, the most famous experience was a certain time with twelve mafia family leaders to hold a national mafia committee, only to be raided by the jǐng party! Gambino actually ordered his subordinates to resist at all! No resistance! Just calmly asking for bail! In less than an hour, more than a million bails were placed on the prosecutor's desk! You know, it was the sixties of the last century! More than 1 million dollars at that time is equivalent to more than 20 million now!! The end result was an acquittal, and the prosecutor lost his position – and his career was completely ruined, and he never held any public office again in his life!
In the end, when the godfather died, there was a king's funeral! The funeral was broadcast live by 100 media outlets around the world!
The movie "The Godfather" is completely based on the story of the Gambino family! And it can also become a classic in gangster movies! Among them, the relationship between the mafia and the film company...... You can imagine it!!
According to relevant legends, the reason why the movie "The Godfather" was made was made entirely because the mafia family deliberately filmed this movie that glorified the mafia in order to improve their public image!
Since then, the Gambino family has been the most glorious and famous mafia family in the world!
Moreover, the godfather of this family has always been the backbone of the mafia committee in the United States!
It can be said that although there are many mafia families, if you offend the Gambino family...... It is tantamount to offending the mafia of the whole world!!
