"What are you going to do?"

Marlena sensed the strength of her waist from behind, and couldn't help but shake her head like a confidant sister.

"It's been a hard time for you." Chen Jun let go of his hand and grabbed Marlena's greasy hand, "Look at your hands are rough." ”

"I can't do anything but take care of your daily life." Marlena smiled and shook her head, "This is what I was supposed to do." ”

"That's how women in Sicily take care of their men."

"But now it's not in Sicily, and I feel guilty about being by my side every day like a housewife." Chen Jun said.

"Of course, this is not to belittle your work, in fact I think this work is great, but you need to have your own value, your own hobbies and tastes, so that your life will be more exciting, for example, when I go out to meet other people, you can go to other jobs."

"But—" Marlena hesitated for a few seconds.

Chen Jun said: "Do you know how the housekeeper Saqira complained to me? She said that you took her job every day, which made her feel useless and would be fired. ”

"Let's go, I'll take you to see the gift I gave you."

Chen Jun didn't say a word, and directly pulled Marlena out.

The car drives along the Pacific Coast Highway to Braemar Hill Park to the middle of Sunset Boulevard, which is synonymous with Hollywood's star-studded location, and it's no surprise to stop the car and see Beverly Hills in the distance and near West Hollywood.

"Did you see that boutique and go in and have a look?" Chen Jun pointed to the department store that quietly appeared to be unpatronized.

Marlena nodded, curious to see what would be inside.

Chen Jun took Marlena into the store, there were not many employees inside, and when he saw the customers coming, he was also plain, letting the customers choose, as if he had a strong confidence in his products.

But it is true, as soon as Marlena walked into the store, her eyes were attracted by the clothes, sachets, and silk scarves on the shelves of the exhibits, and she took them back as if she was determined.

Loving beauty is the hidden nature of every woman, Chen Jun secretly smiled.

It didn't take long for a neutral lady to walk out of the store, her expression was slightly cold, but her tone was quite warm, "William, sir is ready." ”

"Thank you Designer Celia, please send it up."

Chen Jun is very respectful of people who rely on craftsmanship to eat, and maintains a flat and intersecting tone.

Celia nodded helpfully, hooked her fingers, and in the stunned eyes of several clerks, a clerk walked over with a document framed and decorated with a crystal frame.

Marlena looked at the handwriting on it, covered her mouth with her hand, and couldn't hide the shock in her eyes.

"Now the store has officially changed its name to 'Marlena', and she belongs to you now!"

In luxury design companies, many company names are pronounced by personal names, such as Armani, Estee Lauder, Louis Vuitton, Hermes, which is a kind of self-confidence, but also a kind of romance in the pursuit of artistic quality.

All the clerks cast envious glances at Marlena, they knew the value of this shop, and they longed for themselves to be surrounded by such romantic means.

Marlena hugged him tightly, speechless.

Celia was also a little surprised, and said expressionlessly: "Mr. William, I need to correct you a little, you are not buying this store, but 32 clothing design companies with private aesthetic magazines and periodicals all over the United States, with a total value of more than 4 million US dollars, of course, I would be very happy if you only bought one before." ”

"Lady Marlena, you are really lucky and happy." Celia continued, "Originally, these stores had only one name, and she is my family name, and she has a long history of more than 50 years, starting as a private workshop when Hollywood was born, and gradually becoming the fashion that many Hollywood female stars are chasing today. ”

"Our store is only for the boutiques, and it is famous for women's clothing, sachets, silk scarves, perfumes, lipsticks, cosmetics, and every launch is a hot luxury item that is in short supply."

Marlena was stunned when she heard this, and her heart was even more moved, Chen Jun glanced at it, and estimated that she would be very happy at night, but his words about the chief designer and manager of this store did not fluctuate much.

Celia luxury clothing store is currently leading the fashion trend in Hollywood, but it is not without rivals, at least from Milan, Italy and Paris, France, several luxury brands in later generations are gradually squeezing and encroaching on the market of Celia stores.

It is precisely because of this that Celia, as the person in charge of the company, intends to expand channels and increase investment in expanding stores, so she borrowed money from the bank, but the capital chain was unexpectedly broken, and there were people from the fashion guild looking for trouble, so Chen Jun intervened.

He solved the trouble of the fashion guild for her, and bought 56% of her company's shares at a slight premium.

And Chen Jun promised that if he opened up another professional fashion magazine in "Daily Headlines", Celia's products can be promoted at a lower market price, and will also use newspapers, movies, TV broadcasts and other resources to promote his products in the future.

Professional fashion magazines are a piece of the puzzle that enriches the Daily media and should not be underestimated, and the recruitment of relevant personnel has been handed over to Celia and Wilde.

In addition, for the selection of related film professional magazines and periodicals, music magazines and periodicals, these "Daily" media will not let go, and they are also in the process of acquiring corresponding personnel.

These making money are secondary, and in the future, with the rapid take-off of the national economy, it will naturally evolve into a gold-absorbing beast, and what Chen Jun wants is the right to speak and influence in the industry.

THINK ABOUT IT, WHAT KIND OF SCENE WILL IT BE LIKE IN THE FUTURE, SUCH AS "VOGUE", "COSMOPOLITAN", "FLAUNT", FILM MAGAZINES AND MAGAZINES "VARIETY" AND "MOVIE REVIEW", MUSIC CHARTS "GRAMMYS", AND MAGAZINES "BILLBOARD".

Many of the future impact world magazines have been born now, but they are far from being developed, and the acquisition is like picking up cabbage.

At that time, it is conceivable that the media of "Daily Series" will become a media giant that sets industry standards, not including the field of film and the field of wireless television broadcasting.

And once these fields are connected, the influence formed will be an extremely terrible thing, which is to promote the discourse power of world public opinion.

"In the future, Marlena will take on the corresponding designer and vice president positions in the company." Chen Jun said slowly, "The relevant financial and personnel management will also enter one after another, your operating model is too backward, and the family-style personal management must be connected to professional management talents." ”

Celia nodded in agreement, without rebuttal, she did realize the problem in this regard, just...."Can she be a designer?" This is a position of soul for a design company. ”

"She is Italian, and she has an innate sense of smell and talent for fashion and luxury design, there is no doubt about that."

Chen Jun smiled: "The men's clothing on my body was designed by her, and I'm sure there is definitely no such avant-garde design in your store." ”

Marlena blushed slightly when she heard this, in fact, many of the suits and uniforms on Chen Jun's body were his own ideas, and then she cut and made clothes for him.

Celia was speechless when she saw it, in addition to the handsome and handsome Mr. William in front of her, the design of the wireless strip collar on his body had a wonderful ingenuity, and even this moment made her have a lot of ideas.

Sure enough, the talent of the Italian Milanese in design is hard to fathom.... Celia nodded in agreement.

After leaving, sitting in the car, Marlena couldn't help but worry, "Those are all your thoughts, you are cheating on her, and I will be laughed at when the time comes." ”

"How so?"

"Whoever dares to laugh at you, you can fire her."

"Besides, you also have a lot of small designs, such as the cuff buttons are not tight, that feeling is not strangled, very good, and the collar part, which is very soft, at least it doesn't look so sharp, and I feel that many people are afraid of me recently."

Hearing the latter words, Marlena opened her mouth, but finally did not speak.

Chen Jun asked, "Do you like this gift?" ”

"I like it very much, thank you William, but such an expensive gift, I'm afraid I need to invest a lot of time, then I won't be able to take care of you."

"No, I'll talk about those things later, go back first."

Chen Jun started the car and returned to the villa, looking at the smile on his face, Marina shook her head helplessly and kissed it......

The fierce battle was half loud, and the romance was not enough to boast.

After Marlena slept peacefully, Chen Jun covered her with a quilt, got up and poured a glass of whiskey.

He walked out the door, walked to the living room and sat quietly by the phone, overlooking the artificial fairyland behind the manor in the gorgeous villa behind Chen Jun; Orange decorative lights wrapped around the trees illuminate the transplanted palm trees, and two huge swimming pools shimmer with a deep blue shimmer in the faint starlight. The gravel hills on the horizon surround the neon-lit Los Angeles that never sleeps.

Soon the phone rang.

"There are a couple of things to report." Tom Hagen on the other end of the phone.

Chen Jun took a sip of wine lightly: "Say! ”

"A lot of 80 million money was spent, and a lot of Las Vegas chain shares and casino gaming business were taken."

"Does Mo Green simply agree? It was the old man who funded him at the beginning, and he would have successfully handed over the shares? ”

"I've tried a lot of things, and he didn't let up, but yesterday he was accidentally shot dead in his residence, did you do it?"

"It's me! It's just that my people haven't heard from me yet. Chen Jun said calmly: "To speed up the progress, Las Vegas gambling is completely legal, and all obstacles can be kicked out." ”

Heigen felt a chill in his heart: "I have completed more than half of it, I have opened up the relationship at the relevant levels, and the next tasks will be very smooth." ”

"I know, you've done a great job."

The two were silent for a while, and Hagen continued: "The pharmaceutical company has been acquired by all shares, and experiments have been carried out according to several pharmaceutical formulas you gave me, and the results are surprisingly good. ”

"But I think it's a terrible business, it's a horrible profit, it's worth more than all the Corleone family's businesses right now, and all we need to do is open up the network at all levels."

"I think if the drug is made and put on sale, it will bring in more than 100 million cash flow all of a sudden, and this may be just the beginning."

Kurogen's voice couldn't help but tremble, and he felt terrible when he thought of the crazy and joyful gazes of the laboratory personnel when he inspected the pharmaceutical laboratory.

"I know."

Hearing a flat voice from the other side, as if expected, Kuone suddenly calmed down.

Chen Jun said: "This is a real pillar industry, involving people's livelihood, even if the Corleone family can eat it, I will take the initiative to find a few partners." ”

"Hmm."

Hagen is a top lawyer, knows the joints in this, expresses understanding, and continues: "Also, I heard that the five major families have made changes to the Corleone family, and they are plundering the territory of the Corleone family. ”

"Yes."

"It's hard to hide from the Corleone family, who have sold off most of their New York businesses, even some of their olive oil companies, and they've sensed the Corleone family's desire to move west."

Root asked, "So they're going to take the opportunity to take a big bite?" Or to destroy the Corleone family when its eastern power is weak? ”

"Will this be?" Heigen's voice asked eagerly: "This can easily cause a crisis, and if we are not careful, we may collapse completely." ”

"It's still under my control, they're still only in the tentative stage, there's nothing to worry about, not to mention that Calemenza and Thesio are already semi-independent, and they are in front of the Corleone family as a buffer."

There was a cold response on the other end of the phone, and when he hung up the phone, Heigen secretly took a breath of cool air, he had expected that the two major corps commanders under the old godfather, Calemenza and Thesio, would be decisively cut, but he didn't expect it to come so quickly and decisively.

William had already foreseen everything in his heart, he was like a prophet who calculated so precisely, weaving a complex and tight web step by step, and they were like marionettes in the net, seemingly having their own independent thinking and will, but after all, they still couldn't jump out of this big net.

He seemed to be hidden in the dark, sitting on a chair, with his hands flat, a slight light shining on him, and you could see that he seemed to have the ability and courage to face everything and control everything, isolated from all living beings, and looked down coldly.

Has he become a godfather?

William. Tang Dynasty. Corleone, can he have this honorific title now?

Either he became the head of the Corleone family or the godfather, he couldn't do it yet, and Kurogan knew that maybe it would be time to close the net, and the name might fall on his head.

At present, the situation is undecided, whether it will be a smooth net or a dead net, no one knows.

It's a zero-sum game!

Life or death.

Hagen suddenly remembered a year ago, and he said to him with a slightly upturned smile, and who would have thought that he had grown to this height in the past.

**

Chen Jun hung up the phone, and the bell rang again shortly after.

"Mr. William, ABC has accepted your terms of acquisition, and you can send professionals to connect with them."

It was a call from the head of a top law firm.

"Mr. William, the Coca-Cola Group is considering your investment request, and we will follow up and report back to you."

"Mr. William, Goldman Sachs agrees with your conditions, but there are some objections to the investment amount of both parties, and the relevant report will be submitted to you later."

"Mr. William, the University of California would like to thank you for your donation, and their laboratory has carried out research on phonograph recording equipment and color television at your request."

"Mr. William, the University of Southern California would like to thank you for your donation, and they have set up a special fund to provide laboratories in the field of microelectronics."

"Mr. William, the National Broadcasting Records Company has agreed to your request for a controlling stake, and they are very interested in your idea of recording equipment and would like to talk about it."

.....

There was no bell in the living room, and it was unusually quiet.

Chen Jun stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, drank the whisky in his glass, and quietly watched the light of the stars outside the window sprinkle on the turquoise pool, floating with the waves.
