Chapter 110: Hollywood's Plea for Help

Coming to the courtyard, the well-dressed and sanctimonious Bassini walked up to the old godfather and hugged him affectionately, he was the patriarch of the Bassini family, one of the five major families in New York, and now he was secretly supporting the Tataglia family, another of the five families, and Solozo from Europe, who wanted to get involved in the drug trade.

In the middle of the courtyard, the fat balled Clemansha is happily dancing with the women Tarantella, a folk dance in southern Italy, originated from the city of Taranto, legend has it that in the middle of the 14th century, a strange infectious disease appeared in the area of the southern Italian city of Taranto, which was caused by the bite of a poisonous spider called Tarantura, and the injured person had to dance wildly until he was sweating profusely to expel the toxins from the body, hence the name of the Tarantella dance.

Don't look at this guy so fat, but his dancing posture is extremely flexible, and his skills are quite athletic, and he can still easily kill enemies; After jumping for a while, Klemansha was a little thirsty and shouted to his little brother Paulie Cato to deliver wine.

Poly Cato returned to the table after delivering the wine, and looked at the gift money received by Connie, the youngest daughter of the Corleone family, without blinking, and secretly guessed the amount of the gift money, 20,000 US dollars? Or $30,000?

He is a recent newcomer to the family, who has passed several tests and became the driver of the old godfather, and if he continues to develop like this, he will most likely become an important player in the family in the future, but unfortunately he seems to feel that this is a bit too slow, and his current income is completely unable to meet his needs.

The tall, somewhat hunched Tessio dances with a nine-year-old girl, not minding that the little girl's shoes often step on his feet.

Outside the door, a black car parked next to the boulevard, two people got out of the car, unabashedly copied the license plate number of the visiting guests, the eldest son Santino rushed over violently, the driver did not flinch, snapped his ID card, saw the FBI three words, Santino flinched, viciously spitted.

Shen Long shook his head, this bite was completely unnecessary, it seemed that Santino still couldn't control his anger; He walked over with a smile, leaned on the window and said to the driver, "I respect your work and understand what you do, but we're not rivals, are we?" It's so hot, I'll have some drinks for you! ”

After waving and asking the waiter to bring a few glasses of Coke with ice, the driver and other staff were quite surprised, and the godfather in the distance saw it and nodded slightly, he knew that these FBIs were not coming for themselves, they were targeting those congressmen, judges and government officials who might attend the wedding, but most of these people only gave gifts and letters of apology, and did not show up in person.

After coming back, Shen Long walked directly to the corner table and sat down, "Hey, Mike, don't you want to introduce me to this beautiful lady?" ”

"Oh, Fredo, my dear brother!" Mike got up and hugged Shen Long, and when he left home to join the army, only this brother in the family expressed his blessing to himself, "Kai, this is my second brother Fredo Corleone, Fredo, this is my girlfriend Kay Adams, my classmate at Dartmouth." ”

"Hello, Kai; If it weren't for this wedding, I don't know when I'd be able to meet Mike. Shen Long casually mentioned something, he knew that Kai had just heard Mike talk about the situation of the Corleone family, and he was a little scared, so he said this, in fact, he was implying that Kai and Mike were not involved in these businesses.

Mike also told Kai just now that the Corleone family is the Corleone family, and he is himself, hearing Shen Long say this, Kai's expression is obviously a lot more relaxed, Mike nodded gratefully, he understood Shen Long's words, "Fredo, you know, studying at Dartmouth University is not easy." ”

"Wow, who would have thought that my brother would be admitted to an Ivy League college on his own? Maybe you'll be a senator in the future! Shen Long stretched out his arms exaggeratedly, Mike at this time had no idea of participating in family affairs at all, he was bent on marrying Kai and leaving the family to engage in the career he liked.

Looking back at where the godfather had stood, he and Tom had disappeared, perhaps back to the house to discuss negotiations with Soloso, who was growing poppies in Turkey and shipping them back to Sicily to be processed into finished products, and the channels in Europe had been opened, but in New York, he still needed the help of the godfather.

It is inevitable that he will be arrested by the police for doing this business, and if someone is sentenced to one or twenty years in prison, it will be difficult for him not to confess to Soloso, if he can keep his mouth shut for two or three years, and when he is released from prison again, Soloso will provide a rich reward for his loyalty; And to do this, you have to borrow the help of the political and legal circles, and among the five major families in New York, only the Corleone family has this strength, but the godfather obviously will not agree to do this.

The godfather knew politicians well, and they could tolerate some gray industries, such as gambling, prostitutes, but they would never want to be involved with drugs.

In addition to talking about this, the godfather also received another guest, Anthony Kopra, the son of an old colleague from his former work at the train station, who wanted to open an Italian pie shop but lacked five hundred dollars in funding.

The godfather reached for four hundred dollars from his pocket, and he grimaced at Tom Hagen and said, "Tom, lend me a hundred dollars, and I'll go to the bank on Monday and withdraw it for you." ”

Anthony repeatedly stated that four hundred was enough, but the godfather patted him on the shoulder and said apologetically, "This expensive wedding has left me strapped for money all at once. Then he took the money Tom handed him and handed it to Andoni.

If Shen Long saw it, he should feel the thoughtfulness of his godfather, the old man often said that if a person is very generous, he should show his generosity with affection; It's not that Anthony doesn't know that the old man is a millionaire, but what about the millionaire who would endure even the slightest inconvenience for a poor friend? This gesture can be more grateful than directly taking out 500 yuan.

Santino hooks up with Connie's bridesmaid, Lucy Mancini, to fool around upstairs, when there is a commotion at the door, and the girls, including the bride, Connie, scream Johnny's name.

Kay was the same, she looked at the handsome man who came in through the door in surprise, "Mike, you never told me that your family knew Johnny Fantany!" ”

Johnny Fontan, the godson of the old godfather, a Hollywood singer and movie star, came to New York today to seek the help of the godfather in addition to attending the wedding.
