Old Godfather Vito Corleone was sick, really sick.

Since the end of that stormy night meeting, his mental state has languished considerably, and although his body still looks stiff, it feels like he is a teenager older.

Many people see this as the godfather's dissatisfaction with the situation, and it is William Corleone, the current head of the Corleone family, who is responsible for the current situation.

He succeeded in ruining his father's magnificent career, making many of his generals have to come forward, and even asking his brother Fred to negotiate, which is already a dereliction of duty.

As far as a leader is concerned, as far as the head of the Corleone family is concerned, this is extremely unqualified, without courageous means, without a decisive attitude, and without an indomitable determination to forge ahead.

Many people are dissatisfied with this leader, and an undercurrent is surging in the Corleone family.

Chen Jun naturally noticed it, but he didn't want to interfere more, the Corleone family would definitely cut off all this in the future, and those public opinions were irrelevant.

But he doesn't care, so naturally there will be a lot of people who care and speculate.

"William, haven't you noticed the current public opinion?" Mike frowned slightly in the garden, looking worried.

Chen Jun looked at Malena happily hugging Mike's youngest daughter Ginny, and showed a warm smile, "What did they say?" ”

Mike hesitated for a moment, "Fred has a great reputation down there, and many people see him as the savior of the Corleone family, you know what I mean?" ”

"Of course I do, but isn't that what he wants?" Chen Jun turned his head to stare into Mike's eyes: "Do you know what I mean?" ”

Mike was stunned, and an extremely terrible thought flashed through his mind.

But I have to admit that staying under the noses of major high-ranking officials in Washington and experiencing countless open and secret battles among politicians, he is indeed no longer the righteous Mike.

Mike still hesitated, unsure of what was in his mind, "You mean?" ”

At this time, Ginny in Marlena's hand began to cry, breaking the peace in the garden, and Mike's wife, Kay, carried Ginny over, and the baby girl was still crying.

Kai reluctantly gave the child to Mike, who was usually the most intimate with him.

Mike picked up the child, but the baby was still crying, reaching out his delicate little finger and pointing at Chen Jun.

"You see she wants your arms." Mike teased.

Chen Jun shook his head, picked up the baby, and saw that the little baby girl was indeed pink and carved, with a pair of purple pupils, which made people feel amazing and beautiful.

When the baby arrived in his arms, he rarely cried again, stared at his big watery eyes, and licked his fingers quietly.

"She really needs you, and it looks like she's in love with you." Mike's wife, Kai, looked surprised, "It's rare for someone to hug her without crying, and make such a cute expression." ”

"Ginny's baptism is coming soon, or you will be her godfather." She said.

In the West, when a baby is born, a small number of families who can afford it will go to the church to ask a respected priest to bless the baby, which is a common baptism.

A church father is a person who, when an infant or toddler is baptized, is given a Christian name and undertakes to undertake his or her religious education.

"Baptism, Godfather?"

Chen Jun was slightly stunned, and instinctively refused: "I will give her a grand baptism, but the godfather doesn't need me to come, compared to this little girl calling me my godfather, I prefer her chasing after me and calling me Uncle William." ”

"Don't you need it? This is the chance. Mike said with a smile.

"No need." Chen Jun shook his head and still refused.

"Oh well, you're really different." Mike shrugged and sighed, "I like this storm to pass quickly." ”

"Yes."

After chatting with each other for a morning, they got together and Mike to have lunch before leaving, but before they could be separated, the doctor's briefing brought everyone together.

"Sonny woke up?"

Chen Jun was a little surprised, and followed Mike to the family infirmary, where he saw Sonny lying peacefully on the bed.

"Didn't he wake up?"

Chen Jun asked Sonny's wife, who was sitting on the edge of the hospital bed with an excited face:

"Yes, he woke up for a while, but the doctor said he still needed to recuperate and gave him medicine."

"That's good, he will be healthy soon."

He sat with Mike for more than an hour, and it wasn't until late at night that he saw Sonny awake.

After the doctor injected the nutrient solution, Chen Jun and Mike chatted with him separately for a while, but few people knew what the content was.

Late at night, when he returned to the office, there were two papers on his desk.

A signed Fred, which details the details of the negotiations with the five major families.

In the course of Fred's communication with the five major families, the answer he got was negotiable, but the Corleone family's condition was to cede the assets in New York and share the Corleone family's upper network, which was not enough, and the investment in the Las Vegas in the west must also be shared.

The negotiations were held two weeks later in Brooklyn Cathedral, Ticio's turf.

This report is simply shocking, but under the persuasion of Fred's kind words, Chen Jun smiled and agreed to the negotiation.

Of course, the money and assets of the Corleone family will definitely be lost, but what is the use of this money......

Another report on the desk was sent by Tom Hagen about the monthly sales of several of Koch Pharmaceutical's major drugs in major pharmacies across the United States.

First of all, sales were booming, exceeding $200 million in a month.

$200 million? What a concept

In the mid-'40s, World War II ended, and even the entire assets of the Corleone family combined were slightly more than that.

Just one month of sales?

Is it an exaggeration?

It's really not an exaggeration, as long as you know a little bit about the inside story of a biochemical pharmaceutical company, you know that this figure is not an exaggeration at all.

First of all, there are more than 10 drug companies in the world's top 500 companies, all of which are giants of the pharmaceutical industry in various countries.

In modern times, for example, the national pharmaceutical giant Pfizer Group, the research and development of a blockbuster drug, the basic budget ranges from 1 billion to dozens of dollars, and the drug company is basically a model of not opening for three years and eating for 30 years, such as the typical three famous drugs, Valium, penicillin, and aspirin were basically invented in this era, and they are still commonly used in modern households.

Why does a popular drug need so much money?

First of all, there are many pharmaceutical processes, research and development, the establishment of top laboratories, animal toxicology testing, human toxicology testing, clinical 12345 period, each joint loss is calculated in 100 million yuan, not everyone can cheat like Chen Jun, omit the process, and directly come up with a complete prescription drug formula.

In addition to the development of the drug, it is not counted, the drug is developed, and the relevant declaration, public relations and official are also required, and finally the market.

Chen Jun's pharmaceutical group has been down for most of the year, how much did it cost?

50 million US dollars, which is equivalent to being able to acquire more than half of Paramount Pictures' shares, and directly controlling it to become a major shareholder, and even Chen Jun's investment in various companies combined is not so much.

Of this 50 million US dollars, the main expenditure is in public relations and enriching the relevant clinical test reports, but fortunately, the Corleone family's power covers Congress, and due to the times, the rules and regulations just after the end of World War II are not perfect enough to go public so quickly.

What is the drug formula that Chen Jun came up with?

First of all, there are diazepam, one of the three classic drugs in the history of medicine, the stimulant drug Viagra for men, acetaminophen for cold and headache, antibacterial and anti-inflammatory, cephalosporin-related, hormone veterinary drugs.

These are basically drugs that people can't do without in their daily lives, most of the pathologies in their daily lives, and they are also the best-selling drugs, as well as hormonal drugs that meet the needs of the pig, cattle, and mutton industries.

These drugs, no matter how you look at them now, Chen Jun has to be less than 200 million, these drugs can at least allow the Corleone family to eat until the 21st century, and even in the future, if no new drugs are developed, there must be a Cochis pharmaceutical giant in the United States.

And such a potential emerging high-tech company at the level of a giant will naturally be targeted by countless bigwigs, and Chen Jun is very interested in setting aside 40% of the shares, for whom?

He looked at the documents sent by Fred, didn't the five major families ask for money?

Are these enough?

I'm not afraid that you don't want it, I'm afraid that you won't be able to afford it!
