University of Southern California

Located in Los Angeles, California, USA, it is the oldest top private research university on the West Coast and a world-renowned institution of higher learning.

In the summer of 1945, at the end of World War II, it had not yet won the title of film education crown in the United States, and it had not yet given birth to the thunderous film masters and business tycoons of later generations.

But even so, USC still exerts a huge influence on Hollywood outside the suburbs of Los Angeles, ranking among the top 10 dream schools in the United States by the Princeton Review and being ranked by professional magazines as one of the most difficult universities in the United States to get into for undergraduates.

USC Campus.

A young man of about twenty-three or fourteen was stunned, with a slender body and a handsome appearance, but unfortunately his face was morbidly pale, especially the brown eyes that were not focused, and his pupils were like the lake in the school without fluctuation.

Some blonde and blue-eyed beauties passed by him, and at first glance they were attracted by the melancholy temperament on their bodies, but they couldn't bear to disturb them and walked away gently.

The breeze blew, and the young man's eyes were like a wave in the lake, and he took a deep breath, turned to his feet neatly, and squeaked the books on the bench and walked towards his mission today.

From the way the lake was reflected just now, he had changed his appearance greatly.

With black hair, brown pupils, and a very handsome appearance, he is a handsome guy with an American tough type, which he is very satisfied with.

He was taller than before, about 185, but he was on the thin side, slightly clenched into fists, and a sense of explosive power that did not fit this body came.

The strength and strength of his body are all his own, as always, his physical body crosses, but the system has imposed changes on his appearance according to the situation of the world, so that he can better integrate into this world.

This was expected, but Chen Jun didn't expect the system to give him a name - William. Corleone.

The name in the front is not very surprising, but the surname in the back surprised Chen Jun who came over.

He thought that it might be the godfather who adopted him and gave him his surname, but how could his godfather, Vito Corleone, as a Sicilian, attach great importance to blood and the glory of the family, so how could he easily give his surname to others?

Next, the system solves his puzzles, and his identity background is unraveled, and the background is the fourth son of Godfather Vito Corleone, the youngest son, and the most ordinary, inconspicuous, and rebellious son.

Accepting the background identity set arranged for him by the system, the memories are like movie flashbacks, and he learns that this identity is indeed ordinary but also rebellious, and it is a contradiction.

Chen Jun didn't think so much for the time being, slowly walked on the boulevard, and arrived at the library with a very classical charm in front of him.

Entering the library, the interior is very bright, and the sunlight casts in from the open windows around the perimeter, shining on the yellowish bookshelves, and the whole space looks yellow and clear.

As far as he could remember, he came to a small auditorium-like room, with a mahogany door marked with rusty bronze numbers, and when he entered, there were not many people, and he was divided into two rows of men and women to debate.

This is an internal debate competition in the economics department of USC Business School, and it is one of the majors that Chen Jun is studying.

He glanced upward, and on the blackboard were several headings such as the composition of the business model and the direction of the economy at the end of the war.

The atmosphere on the field was condensed, and both sides of the debate were red-eyed like mad western bulldogs.

A few beautiful girls sitting in the position threw him a few inexplicable winks, feeling that they were familiar people, Chen Jun sat at the end of that row, the shadow in the corner covered half of his body, silent and silent, looking very inconspicuous.

But the row of blonde debaters on the other side didn't intend to let him go so easily, "Professor Thor, William Corleone is late, he should be disqualified from the debate." ”

Chen Jun couldn't ask for it, he didn't even know the topic of the debate, what could he debate?

"Politeness and respect are good qualities, and you can manage yourself." Professor Thor shouted.

In Europe and the United States, it is okay to call by name, but it is rude and unwise to call it with a surname, because a surname often carries the glory of a family, and calling it directly is equivalent to offense, especially in this kind of higher education, where there are countless hidden elites.

The blonde young man sat down hatefully, dissatisfied with the eyebrows of the prodigal women, and looked at the corner of the watch that the young man was wearing on his wrist, and his eyes couldn't help but flash a little envy.

The Rolex DateJ.ust watch, the world's first perpetual calendar that could actively convert the date, the latest model from 1945, could not be bought even as the son of a banker.

Chen Jun noticed the man's gaze and smiled secretly.

Different from the domestic in later generations, Rolex is the favorite of the nouveau riche, in this era, Rolex has always been the representative of sports, fashion, exploration of technology, sophistication and other positioning, is the favorite of young people today.

For example, in 1926, Rolex created the world's first waterproof and dustproof watch, when the famous British swimmer Michelis wore this waterproof watch across the English Channel, the watch was soaked in water for 15 hours, still every second, intact, was reported by major influential newspapers, and shook the whole world.

Later, a perpetual watch was created, and a pendulum was connected inside, which could convert the potential energy of the means swing into the power of the watch, causing a clock revolution. Another example is the one in his hand, which is currently the world's first perpetual calendar that can actively convert the date.

After the interlude, the debate continued in the small auditorium, and Chen Jun sat in the corner, listening and reading the books with relish, but he didn't seem to be relaxed because of the lighting.

And there didn't seem to be more than one boy on the field who wanted to embarrass him, another young man with chestnut curly hair and a thin body said, "William, you are one of us, but you read books alone, and you don't respect our achievements!" ”

"Are you pretending to be profound, disdainful of arguing with us?"

This is higher than the rank just now, with a soft knife in his words.

Chen Jun stood up politely, "On the contrary, I don't have any unique opinions on your content, and I can't say anything?" ”

He is a medical student, except for the clichés of later generations, how can he understand the business operation mode of economics?

"In that case, then why did you get the only scholarship in the whole college under Professor Thor, which is against your excellent ranking in the business school." Young man with curly maroon hair clenched his fists.

Is the original so good?

The corners of Chen Jun's mouth twitched, and he saw Professor Thor's ugly face like foie gras.

"Did you fool around with a woman last night and your brain was foggy?" The blonde young man whispered just now, causing a row of people to burst into laughter with their mouths covered.

"Joandy, that's why you're jealous of my charm, and I'm so sorry for you!"

Chen Jun was not angry, stood up with a flat face, and smiled slightly, "If you want to debate, I will debate for you!" ”

"In my understanding, the business model operates in four ways, promotion, promotion, marketing, and branding."

“

Don't be jealous, Joandy, then I'll teach you from my personal experience.

Mode 1:

The boy said to the girl: I am the best, I make sure to make you good, come with me.

- It's a sales pitch

Mode 2:

The boy said to the girl: My father has 3 houses, be good with me, and they will all be yours in the future.

- This is a promotion

Mode 3:

Boys don't confess to girls at all, but girls are fascinated by boys' temperament and demeanor.

- It's marketing

Mode 4:

The girl didn't know the boy, but her friends complimented the boy.

- This is the brand

”

"Joandy, do you know why it's rare to see girls like to be with you, because you're still stupid, in the stage of boasting and showing off your family, and I, William, have established a brand influence in the eyes of girls."

"The girls at USC Business School are not short of money, girls, don't you think?"

The audience agreed to the slogans one after another, and the screams and whistles came one after another, and the entire debate platform became Chen Jun's personal show.

The blonde young man named Joandy blushed and his nails dug into his skin.

Professor Thor, who was standing on the stage, waved his hand, and it took half a minute to suppress the scene, and just as he was about to speak, the small auditorium was violently torn open, as if it had been hit by a cannonball.

The man who came was a short and stout man, with a huge skeleton and a fierce face, brown eyes, but no warmth of this color, thin lips, and a rubber texture.

Chen Jun saw him, and the memory in his mind came back.

Luca Blazi, one of the pillars of the Godfather's power empire, is brutal and extremely powerful, and legend has it that he can single-handedly destroy the ruthless character of the gangster team, and make a remarkable achievement for the godfather Vito Corleone.

He was known for his strength and brutality in the east, and even the godfather would change his modest gentlemanly face in front of him and show a majestic imperial demeanor.

"William!"

Lukka saw him, smiled and beckoned, and the look and the sound of the siren suddenly made the surrounding girls shrink, like rats in a flour heap.

"Uncle Luca."

Chen Jun gave him a hug, and in his memory, he was one of the few playmates of this identity's childhood, even the godfather Vito Corleone was helpless.

"Your sister Connie is going to have a big wedding next week, and Don has to ask me to invite you there."

"Are you going to get involved in the plot?"

Originally, he had a memory that his godfather had sent someone to call him, but this identity refused, and this time it was replaced by Luca, who had a good relationship with him.

"I'll go with you, but I'll finish today's studies first."

"There's no need to rush!" Lukka swept around with his bull's eyes, and said angrily, "Who is Professor Thor?" ”

"Me."

The well-dressed Professor Thor raised his hand weakly and swallowed as he watched him.

"Don wants me to bring you greetings from the Corleone family, can William leave first?"

"Yes, yes." He nodded again and again, pressed his right hand to his chest, and bowed slightly to perform a classical etiquette, "Please say hello to Tang on my behalf, thank him for his friendship, and sincerely wish his daughter a happy marriage!" ”

Chen Jun was slightly surprised, had the godfather's tentacles climbed so far? Or a higher education institution like USC!

It's no wonder that he was able to get a scholarship, and this professor still defends him, so that's the case.

"Thank you."

Luca left with a startled Chen Jun.

Seeing them leave, Professor Thor was obviously relieved, and his body collapsed, but a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him, "Professor, what is William's background?" ”

Professor Thor turned around and saw that it was Joandy, who had just been humiliated by Chen Jun, his eyes were red, revealing deep hatred.

"How many families in the United States are named Corleone? If you can't think clearly, you can ask your father? ”

Don't?

A thrill in his head, Joandy's uncontrollable trembling, replaced by deep despair in his heart.

When the few people next to him heard Professor Thor's words, they understood the meaning in the eyes of the confused and dazed people, and their faces changed drastically.
