"Why?"

"William, give me a reason to be satisfied."

The godfather leaned back on a sofa and put his hands flat, "Could it be that the gap between you and me has not been unraveled?" You're already a mature lad. ”

In the past two days, he felt that he had not talked to William much, but he could detect the changes in his maturity from his subtle demeanor, which was very different from before, but it was a pity that as a father, he did not witness the growth of his children, which made him feel some regret and self-blame.

"You misunderstood what I meant." Chen Jun shook his head, "I just can't adapt to the family circle, this is very foreign to me, and I want to leave." ”

"This is your home!" Godfather Vito Corleone accentuated the epida, staring at him.

"I'll always have him behind me!" He looked at him.

"Here are your brothers and sisters, and your blood relatives?"

"They all have their own circles, Sonny is in your organization, Fred is by your side on business, Connie is busy with the sweetness of the newlywed, Mike is traveling around with his girlfriend, and I have my own circle, which is not here."

"So what?" The godfather stood up suddenly, "You want to go back to Los Angeles, California, back to school?" Do your work as a contributor with a monthly salary of two or three hundred per month? Falling in love with girlfriends of all kinds? You're almost graduating! ”

The godfather was a moody man in the eyes of outsiders, but in the eyes of his family, he was sometimes a grumpy little old man.

He will lose his temper when his daughter Connie chooses the wrong son-in-law, he will be angry at his son Mike for joining the army, he will be glad that his godson Johnny has traveled thousands of miles to visit him, and he will also reprimand Johnny for being irresponsible to his family.

"You know, I'm proud that you're living on your own, and that reminds me of when I was younger. I don't like to interfere with your choices, such as college majors, futures, etc., but I'm angry that you don't discuss with me and make your own decisions! ”

Godfather Vito Corleone said patiently, and his countenance returned to calm.

"This time I didn't make a private decision like last time, I'm discussing with you, so you will agree."

Chen Jun said a witty remark and took a deep breath, "I can't always shelter under your wing, I should have my own development." ”

This sentence is very broad and can be understood no matter how you interpret it, but in the eyes of the godfather who cares about his family, there are not many answers, "What are your plans?" I can arrange it for you. ”

"Don't be in a hurry to refuse my kindness, the cold eyes you have received when you ask for a salary in the past three years, I believe you can understand the cruelty of this world."

"The surname Corleone carries both glory and responsibility, and it can also make you a shortcut to success faster."

The meaning of power and love was overflowing, and Chen Jun's heart welled up with a sense of shame as a calculating godfather.

How could he refuse? Isn't this exactly what he wants to do with golden thighs?

Pretending to be reserved and hesitant for a moment, he said, "Can you tell me about the industry in my family that I can choose from?" ”

The godfather named a number of industries such as liquor, olive oil, law firms, banks, guilds, etc., which are the basic disks of the Corleone family under the sun, such as olive oil in a monopoly position in the United States, law firms, guilds are connected to the legal and political resources of the upper echelons, and banks are family holdings.

Chen Jun was a little regretful, the godfather didn't talk about the gang industry, not even the gray of gambling, this is the Corleone family's base rooted in the dark world, and if he wants to complete the task, he has to cut these down, and he is not qualified to touch these secrets at present.

"Newspaper!"

He spoke of a family business that his godfather said was at the end.

"The reason you chose it is because it's also in Los Angeles?" The godfather spoke in a low tone, a little disappointed, and he wanted his youngest son William to embark on the road of politics.

"I don't deny that there is part of the reason."

"But that's not the main thing, first of all, I studied economics and theater history at USC, and I've contributed to a lot of newspapers in three years, and I know the industry."

"Second, I think you may be underestimating the potential of this industry, it is no worse than law firms, banks, on the contrary, it is very important to our family."

"Oh, what do you think?"

Godfather Vito Corleone's eyes lit up, and suddenly became interested.

"The newspaper industry is the cornerstone of the media, and it involves two aspects, public opinion and influence!"

Chen Jun took out the theoretical views of later generations that had been drafted a long time ago and slowly narrated them.

In fact, in this era before the birth of the Internet, newspapers are one of the few sharp weapons that can manipulate the public, this kind of weapon is not only the protective body of the Corleone family, but also the explosive that makes countless people throw rats, and the godfather has mastered a lot of headache secrets.

The godfather's eyes became brighter and brighter, and gradually evolved into a kind of pressing sharpness, he never thought that the small newspaper business would have such a great effect, it was really too useful.

Suddenly, his eyes changed, "Have you already thought of your own plan?" ”

Chen Jun nodded.

Seeing this, the godfather did not pursue it, "How much money do you need to operate?" ”

"$1,000,000!"

This is not a small amount, World War II has just ended, and now the per capita salary is only about 300, according to the linked gold dollar rate, the amount he reported is at least 15 million US dollars in later generations.

"I'll give you 2 million, and you can withdraw it from the family bank!"

Heroic enough!

Chen Jun couldn't help but admire in his heart, and the godfather said, "Must be in that newspaper in Los Angeles?" Isn't it possible in New York? ”

"I can also buy a few newspapers for you to operate, so that we can influence the surrounding area."

Of course you can, but Chen Jun will not be satisfied with just being the controller of a newspaper.

If you're looking for excitement, follow through.

Set a small goal, media tycoon!

Didn't Murdoch start his business with newspapers? Gradually radiate television, film, radio, publishing, records and so on.

In Los Angeles, there is a mecca for film and television production such as Hollywood, a large number of newspaper publishing resources, and many companies and media talents, which cannot be missed.

He politely rejected the godfather's proposal, "There are a lot of media resources over there, and compared with New York, which has Wall Street, the financial and commercial atmosphere here is heavier, and there are more advantages." ”

"Don't worry, I promise you, within six months, you'll see that newspaper appear in your garden mailbox."

The godfather nodded, not forcing his youngest son's interest, and watched him leave with a smile.

After closing the door, he dialed the private line, and after a long time, he said, "Heigen, how are you handling it over there?" ”

Tom Hagan's hand holding the phone trembled, thinking of the movie tycoon who didn't eat oil and salt, he had a headache and said bitterly, "It's being processed." ”

"Well, take it slowly, William is going back to Los Angeles, you find me two powerful bodyguards who have no foundation and are trustworthy by his side."

"By the way, I'm going to buy a few newspapers in New York, and you'll talk about it later."

The next day, after explaining some things to Luca, he got on a plane to Los Angeles, California.

Looking at the newspaper information sent to him through the family bank, Chen Jun's eyes widened and he was a little shocked.
