Chapter II: Judicial Storm (1)
With Contini's funding, the help of professionals, and the help of the Roman police, it was easy to deal with such a behemoth as the Socialist Party, and the streets and alleys near the Socialist Party headquarters and the Constitutional Court were full of watchers, and the buses, carriages, and railway stations in the city of Rome were also covered with the men of the Dark Onesβthere was a father who was the Minister of Transport, and he was almost able to do these things.
But Gian did it better than Contini imagined: he used his film equipment to film the two parties eating in a restaurant and trading envelopes, and the president of the Supreme Court, Chief Justice Donadoni, smiled at it - in this era, it is almost impossible to shoot pictures without alarming others, but although the film is large, it can be shot secretly using the natural light of the restaurant box, as long as you prepare in advance, and it is put on by the people of Ji'an.
"Very good, very good!" After watching the film, Contini laughed out loud and said to Antonio, "In this way, the lawyer team can do it, and the evidence about the Socialist Party is conclusive, and it will be easier to start." β
Antonio nodded: while a power-for-money deal is not a big deal in Italy, Donadoni's receipt of money does not necessarily mean that Contini will lose the case β it may simply initiate a retrial, and then drag it out or give a painless conclusion to pass it. However, the young master's purpose is obviously not to win or lose the lawsuit, what he wants is to make the scene bigger, for him who is afraid that the world will not be chaotic, what is more high-sounding than trading power for money, interfering in the judiciary, and violating the constitution? The Constitutional Court's lawsuit is destined to be indispensable, and to fight a lawsuit means to burn money.
Fortunately, the 100 million lira funds guaranteed by the government are being put in place one after another, and Antonio is not worried about the capital chain, the toss in the past six months has broken his lifelong business concept in his words, and even the amount of loss has broken the upper limit he once expected - with the opening of the "United House", an industry that was not originally planned, the loss may exceed 150 million this year. However, the opening effect of the United House is good, not only swept away all the commemorative editions and limited edition motorcycles, but also ordered more than 1,000 orders, including newspapers, magazines, radios and other products, and many people inquired with great interest about the business of United Express and United Airlines, not only more than 10,000 people registered as members of the United Group, but also more than 10 people paid the membership fees of the United Airlines Club and the Roman Warrior Club - each annual membership fee is worth 20,000 lire!
Now he is also arrogant and said: What is a loss, the important thing is the effect! As long as there is an effect and image, are you afraid that there will be no market in the future?
"The Supreme Court is not enough, the Constitutional Court must be strung together." "The Constitutional Court is nothing to do all year round, it's just a decoration, and the people in it are almost so idle that they have to find something to do for them β how will they react if I file a complaint against the unconstitutional?" Will the case not be filed? β
"Impossible? It must be like a treasure, and there is an instant sense of accomplishment and satisfaction. β
"That's right, loneliness is the hardest." Contini smiled: "I want to see how many people in the Constitutional Court are willing to sit on the cold bench for the rest of their lives, and this is their good chance." This movie is good, and it should be given to the President of the Constitutional Court, Tasotti, to take a good look, but the scope of the film must be strictly limited, and he can only watch it alone! β
Gian was still a little confused, but Antonio understood at once: the Supreme Court was on Matteotti's side for a retrial, and as soon as the retrial began, the young master would immediately launch a case against the Socialist Party for unconstitutionality - if the Supreme Court ruled against Contini, he would have put this time bomb in its favor and would blow everyone to pieces.
As for staring at the Constitutional Court, it is because Contini wants to create an opportunity: let the idle and boring characters of the Constitutional Court seize the opportunity to allow themselves to enter the Supreme Court, and it is of course a way to drive the Constitutional Court to do things for itself and buy them with money, but this is too childish, and Contini has to put enough temptation in front of the other party - initiative and consciousness can make people full of motivation, this film is the biggest carrot, and it is more shocking to release quietly than to release it in a bright way.
Contini turned his head and confessed to Gian: "As soon as the request for retrial is accepted, I will file a lawsuit with the Constitutional Court, which may only be a few days, and I will give you a task, you must bring in Mr. Tassotti within three days, let him see this clip, and it is best to get this matter done before the case is filed." β
"Maybe it's a little tight on time, so you don't want to alarm other people......"
Contini waved his hand: "Go straight out, don't worry too much!" It would also be good to let the Dean see our strength, lest he misjudge the situation. Oh, speaking of which, he's still my senior, so we must be very close. β
"Hah!" A bunch of people laughed, and Ji'an couldn't help but laugh too.
It was getting dark, and in the midst of a long spring rain, the president of the Italian Constitutional Court, Thassotti, sat in the carriage in good spirits and began to speak in his customary tone: "Go to the Vennetto Hotel, I have an evening to attend today." β
"Yes, sir, please sit tight."
"Huh? You're not Amor? Where is he? "Although Tasotti's rank is okay among Roman officials, he is really a cold official, and he may not be able to take a few cases throughout the year, so don't think about the treatment or anything, and even the invitations to this kind of party are not often received, and if the host of this banquet is not his classmate at the University of Rome, I am afraid that no one will be able to think of him.
"Sir, he is sick and can't come, but you need to use the car, so I'll take my place temporarily."
"Well......" Tasotti couldn't help it, shrugged his shoulders and leaned back on the back of the carriage to close his eyes and recuperate. Horses' hooves and ruts made a loud noise in the streets of Rome, and the grooms were faster than usual because there were not many pedestrians on rainy nights.
After more than 20 minutes, Tassotti felt that something was wrong, his home is generally about 15 minutes' drive from the Vennetto Hotel, and today the speed is faster than before, it doesn't make sense that more than 20 minutes is not enough, is it that the groom is wrong? He opened the curtain and saw that the appearance of the Roman city outside was clearly at the junction of the suburbs.
"Park, park!" Tassotti roared angrily, "You stupid donkey, where have you taken me?" I'm going to Vennetto Guesthouse! It's in ......"
The Dark One's disguised groom smiled, "I know the Vennetto Hotel is there, but someone asked me to bring you here, and someone will pick us up." β
While he was talking, a Buick car had driven on the opposite side, and it stopped next to the carriage with a "crunch". As soon as Gian got out of the car, he found Tasotti and asked the groom with a smile, "Is everything going well?" β
"Well, no one is watching or even paying attention, and someone at the Vennetto Hotel went to say that Mr. Tasotti was temporarily unwell and could not come."
"Very well, then leave it to me."
Even now, Tassoti still doesn't know where he is now - he has been kidnapped!
