The Godfather's side.

House Corleone, three weeks ago.

The office was dark but not dark, and the godfather leaned back in his old sofa chair, opened the pot of bronzed 'witch' mellow rum, and quietly listened to the report of his godson, Tom Hagen.

His voice is calm and magnetic, and there are just the right pauses when he speaks, giving people time to think.

After listening to every detail, Godfather Vito Corleone thought deeply for a moment and muttered a question to Hagen: "Was this his idea?" You didn't lie to me? ”

"This method is really what he told me, and it is very effective."

Hagen nodded, "The movie tycoon was frightened and directly agreed to our conditions and gave the role to Johnny,"

"In this project, the most amazing thing for me is not how perfect the plan is, but how he thinks about the whole problem, and the way he solves the problem is very clear and unique, which is rare at his age, plus the kind of behavior he did in the newspaper before, it reminds me of you, his style of doing things is somewhat similar to yours."

"We should re-examine him, maybe ....."

The Godfather waved his hand to stop what he was going to say, and he knew that Hagen wanted him to consider a candidate for the next godfather.

This issue is not a taboo topic in the Corleone family, on the contrary, many people have expressed it directly or indirectly, but the godfather has never expressed his position.

"Maybe I'm negligent in caring for him, it's my father's incompetence." His pit bulldog-like face showed a slightly wrinkled smile: "He should have a wider sky and lead the Corleone family to glory, I don't want each of them to be like me." ”

Heigen sighed in his heart, stopped persuading, and said: "Sorozo's matter was learned by William, and he advised me to remind you to be careful of him, and the five major families of New York standing behind him. ”

"I know this, remember not to let him meddle in this black incident in the future."

"Okay."

Heigen's heart was sour, and he felt happy for William: "What about the drug lord Sorozo?" He made several requests for a meeting. ”

"Let's see."

The next day, the drug lord Zorozo, who has a vicious horse face, arrives at the godfather's office and offers various conditions, and he wants to use the Corleone family's upper network to take refuge, but the godfather refuses.

Sonny, the eldest on the side, was moved by the interests and suddenly interjected, which made Soroso see the internal divisions of the Corleone family, and he had the idea of assassinating the godfather Vito Corleone, so that the godfather's eldest son Sonny would succeed him and complete the deal.

After the negotiation, the godfather is unhappy with Sonny's interjection and reprimands him harshly.

After this incident, everything was as usual in the days that followed, except that the Corleone family's defense around their family was much stronger.

**

Three weeks later.

The bell rang, and the transferred phone was picked up by the godfather, a familiar voice came from the other side.

He was glad that William was able to call, and he was glad that his children could need him, and he gestured roughly, and the office was instantly silent.

"I've heard you're running the newspaper very well over there, are you in trouble now?"

"Yes!"

Chen Jun briefly told him about the situation of the newspaper, and added, "I said that I would deliver the newspaper's newspaper to the mailbox of your manor, and now I think the opportunity has come." ”

He gave him a detailed description of the winning mechanism for purchasing newspapers similar to supermarket shopping coupons and substitution vouchers: "At present, my people have opened up the supermarket joints in the west and south, where you can receive newspaper purchase rewards, and the central and eastern parts are also in progress." ”

"It's crazy, but I'm a little worried about the legal risks and producers, and I hope to get your help."

"Don't have any worries, you can let go of your ideas." The godfather said quietly: "The Corleone family will always be your backing!" ”

"Do you still need money?"

The other side was silent for a while, and Chen Jun breathed a sigh of relief, "Let's have another 1 million!" ”

"Okay, you can withdraw it at any time in the family bank" The godfather was very calm, and suddenly changed his words: "What do you think our family is involved in the film industry?" ”

In the past, he wouldn't ask him questions about the family business.

"Movies?"

Chen Jun was stunned for a moment, and suddenly reacted again, Hagen told him that he would suggest that the godfather get involved in the film industry, because he saw the huge profits of the movie tycoon Waltz.

Later in the Godfather trilogy, the Corleone family supported the superstar godson Johnny to get involved in the film industry, and he gained a lot.

"I think this industry has a lot of potential, and people need a rich entertainment life after the war......"

Chen Jun doesn't know much about the movies of this period, and he can't talk about profundity and planning, but he just analyzed the godfather from the grassroots and the bottom of the industry

..... After hanging up the phone for a long time, the godfather told Chen Jun's plan for the newspaper to his subordinates.

"Oh God, he could have come up with such a genius idea." The godfather's subordinate Clemenza exclaimed: "Don, it's a pity that you don't send him to Las Vegas, I swear that the lottery industry will definitely be hot in his hands." ”

The godfather ignored his teasing and asked Hagen, "Can it be solved?" ”

"It's not difficult, it's just that it takes some time to unite the major states, and the legal system is different in different places." Hagen then took out a color newspaper from the table: "He said that the newspaper will influence the whole United States, this is not empty talk, it is indeed worth the investment!" ”

"Color printing, fast-paced style, lots of images, these are all amazing ideas, and I believe William's newspaper has great potential!"

This newspaper was ordered by plane to Los Angeles a week ago.

"I don't like the vocabulary, it's not friendly to me as an old man." The godfather shook his head: "Maybe young people like this." ”

"I like it."

Clemenza, the godfather's number one general, snatched the newspaper from Hagen right now, "I love the entertainment and sports section in it. ”

"At night, I will specially cut out the colorful pictures of the stars inside, and then associate the words inside."

Clemenza's fat body twisted and danced with his hands laughing.

**

With the instruction and capital injection of the godfather, Chen Jun is more confident to implement the next plan.

First of all, he was not in a hurry, and waited for a week, after the godfather called to announce the opening of the joint, he officially announced the news in his own newspaper, and this time he was rich and advertised on TV.

The content of the ad is simple, with only one point.

A week later, in the western and southern parts of the United States, as well as the central and eastern fringes of the United States, if you purchase the Daily Headlines newspaper and verify the newspaper's lucky code, you can receive a variety of rewards at the supermarket outlets that have partnered with the "Toutiao".

$400,000 will be distributed in advance, with a minimum of $10 shopping vouchers and a maximum of $100 shopping vouchers, with a total of 10,000 winners!

It doesn't seem to be worth much, but considering the average salary of the urban population in this era is only 300, even $10 is a big temptation.

Buy a newspaper for a few cents and you have a good chance of receiving at least $10.

The same news content, why not?

And 400,000 is not low, the original "Daily News" assets are only 800,000, and the assets of the million-level "Los Angeles Times" are more than 6 million US dollars, which is equivalent to burning 1/15 of its volume.

The sensation caused by such an advertisement can be imagined.

When some newspapers saw the news on TV, they remembered that there was an advertisement in their newspaper for "Daily Headlines", and they simply regretted it.

Still doing propaganda for others.

It is conceivable that some readers who bought their own newspapers would definitely buy the Daily Headlines, and those who had some basic market users of the Wall Street Journal and the Washington Post were fine, while the medium-sized, small newspapers would be directly squeezed devastatingly.

This is blatant cheating!

But it's such a simple and easy-to-follow cheating method, but no one dares to play it, so they can only watch it blankly.
