Don is an Italian honorific title for a man of status, like "von" in German and "fan" in Dutch, a title that can only be enjoyed by the patriarch of the mafia family, and Rocco Rapun's actions can be seen within the mafia as an oath of allegiance to the new godfather.

Albert and Mighty followed, and finally Tom hesitated for a moment and did the same, and from now on his direct allegiance would not be to old Vito, but to Shen Long.

In the following period, Shen solemnly sorted out the business and power within the Corleone family, and many old guys followed Tessio and Kleimanshah, which made his reform less obstructive, and with the support of old Vito, he quickly and smoothly took over the family power, promoting both Rocco Rapon and Willy Chichi to Legion Commander, and Albert Nairie became his personal bodyguard and the executor of the family.

In business, he still follows the old Vito's way, only engaging in gray or white zone business, and never participating in black business; He also began to take over the political resources from the godfather, which surprised him, judges, councillors, sheriffs...... Many high-sounding personalities have maintained friendships with the Corleone family.

This makes him feel as if he is now in the magic capital of the East, like Du Yuesheng, is this the hope of human beings for the United States? It doesn't feel much better than the chaos of Shanghai Tang.

Santino finally dealt with Carlo, much to Connie's annoyance, but she had nothing to say when she learned the truth, and she had grown up in the Corleone family, and of course she understood how the family would deal with traitors, but despite this, her relationship with Santino was never as close as before.

This made Santino become decadent, and rarely interfered in the affairs of the family again, but this was a good thing for Shen Long, maybe after a year or two, he would be relieved, and then Shen Long's position would become unshakable, and it would be okay for him to start intervening in the family affairs again.

Every time he gives an order, Shen Long, like old Vito, will never take phone calls or letters and other means that may leave evidence, but call Rocco or Tom and others alone, give them orders, and then they will look for the real executor, so that even if the executor is caught by the police, it will not affect him.

However, Shen Long also knew that this method could not always guarantee his safety, and when the United States began to seriously consider dealing with gangsters in the 70s, a document submitted to the "Rico Act" would crush this method; The bill stipulates that if a person is considered a gang leader, then any of his juniors who commit crimes do not need to look for evidence of his orders, and the gang leader should be punished for that relationship alone.

The decree sent most of the American leaders to prison and sentenced them to lengthy prison terms, and the golden age of American gangsters was over, but it was still early in 1970, and Shen Long was not worried about this.

After putting the New York family headquarters in order, Shen Long brought Albert Nairie to Hollywood, and he had already obtained the consent of Franco Falcón, the bigwig here, to expand his influence here.

After meeting Falcón, he met with Johnny Fontan and Nino Valentine, "Fredo, congratulations, when Godfather and Sonny were injured before, I wanted to go back to New York to visit them, but Godfather wouldn't allow it. ”

"Johnny, you're a public figure and shouldn't be involved in these things; Nino, you should limit the amount of alcohol you drink, or you'll die soon! Shen Long greeted them cordially, both of them were good partners from childhood to adulthood.

"But what is the point of life if you can't drink?" Nino didn't care.

"Johnny, I recently inquired about something, your personal doctor is very unreliable, this time I brought a very good doctor from New York, let him help you look at your throat!" Johnny's voice had broken down and he couldn't sing anymore, but Shen Long saw that the situation was not as exaggerated as he said.

After the doctor's examination, he told Johnny, "You have a small tumor in your throat, it's not a difficult problem to solve, just have surgery to remove the tumor!" ”

"Can I continue singing from now on?" Johnny was excited, even though he had already won the Oscar for Best Actor, but singing was his life.

"I can't guarantee it, but it can't be any worse than it is." The doctor shrugged and hesitated for a moment, but Johnny agreed to the doctor's advice and prepared to undergo surgery right away.

"Fredo, the preparations for "Cinema Paradiso" are coming to an end, but there is an audition the day after tomorrow to choose some less important supporting roles, and now I probably can't play, can you help me keep an eye on it?" Ever since he got that story, Johnny has had a lot of trust in Shen Long's ability in films.

"It's just a trivial matter, I'll go then, by the way, Huang Zongzhan will also go, right?" Shen Long wondered when he would talk to him about Hongmen again?

"He's a photographer, so he's going to go there."

Two days later, Shen Long came to Johnny's film production company to attend an audition meeting with Huang Zongzan, and since the choices for today were all small roles, everyone was not too nervous, and watched their performances while talking and laughing.

Shen Long looked at the list of actors who came to audition, and soon saw a name that surprised him very much, he took out this resume and said to Huang Zongzhan and others, "This guy looks a little interesting." ”

"Oh, he used to work at Warners, playing the lead actor in some B-movie movies, he was conscripted into the army during the war, but he didn't go to the front, he shot training and propaganda movies in the Army Air Corps; By the way, his wife is much more famous than him, it's the big star Jane Wyman, seriously, it makes me jealous, why can't I be a big star! The assistant director of the crew joked.

"Sounds good, let him try it out first!" Shen Long put this resume on the top.

"No problem." It's just a small role, it won't affect the quality of the movie, and with his ability, it should be completed smoothly, no one wants to cause Shen Long's displeasure for this little thing, and some people have even begun to wonder whether to directly let them interview for the same role go back.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen, I'm Ronald Wilson Reagan, and I'm honored to have this opportunity." The handsome man in his thirties greeted them.
