Chapter 149: Checks and Balances

When I woke up, the morning sun of New York was shining warmly on my bed.

Chen Jun opened his sleepy eyes, stretched out his right hand into the quilt, and there was nothing, empty.

At this time, he could hear the sound of ping-pong in the kitchen, and perhaps he should have told Marlena how to use the new kitchen utensils, or else he might have eaten charred toast later.

He got up and opened the curtains, the sun was rippling, and he could see the vast blue coastline from the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, and there were only dozens of luxury villas on the waist of the huge mountain cliffs.

"Is it necessary to get up so early? Don't get a little more sleep? Chen Jun looked at the caramel bread, fresh milk, and soft-boiled eggs on the table, "Hey, you're doing a good job, what tools do you use?" ”

"Try to learn these two times, and you'll be done, nothing difficult."

Marlena untied her apron, shook her head slightly, leaned her long black hair on her chest, and said with a smile, "Don't look at it, eat?" ”

For the small movements made by beautiful women, they always have a special beauty and style when appreciating.

He threw away those careful thoughts in his mind, and said with a smile: "This food has taken a lot of time, show me your hand, have you hurt it?" ”

"I won't fail to show you....."

In the midst of laughter, the breakfast was completely settled, and he could sense that Marlena's mood had recovered a lot, and she had come to a new environment, and she had lost the indifference and coldness she had faced with the townspeople before.

"I'm leaving."

"Well, here's your uniform, it's already ironed for you."

Sicilian women are always full of life, they will prepare your morning food, clothes for your trip, and evening tea for you back in advance, while men don't need to worry about anything, as long as they work hard.

"When I'm away, you can go around New York, and there will be bodyguards secretly following, and you can tell the housekeeper here if you need anything."

Chen Jun put on his coat, got into the car, and thought about his future plans.

In the process of discussing with the godfather, the two reached a consensus that they must make a cut with the five major families in New York, and the reputation of the gang family must be thrown out, and in terms of business, the dark and open side of the Corleone family will be handed over to him to handle all the business, and in the Corleone family, the godfather will help suppress those who are dissatisfied with his superiority.

Of course, the most important thing is to accept those high-level connections from the godfather, and these days, Chen Jun will visit these people with the godfather, even people in other states across the United States, and will officially give gifts under the name of William Corleone.

Only by accepting these assets can you be said to have mastered the Corleone Empire.

It's just that Chen Jun is not the second godfather, and the route he takes is far from being a gang leader, even if this gang leader has a lot of energy.

Since he understands the trend of world history, there are too many opportunities and too many undeveloped talents, Chen Jun's route is either to stand in front of the stage and look down on the changing eyes, or to hide the hand that affects the world behind the scenes.

"Let's go."

The driver started the car and headed out for the streets of Manhattan, New York City, where the godfather's car was waiting early.

Chen Jun walked out and looked at Wall Street in this era, and there was no iconic bronze scalper at this time.

Wall Street is the financial center of the United States, and in the 50s of the 20th century, it is gradually becoming the world's financial center, and it is now the location of large monopolies and financial institutions, stock exchanges, investment banks, trust companies, Federal Reserve Banks, the headquarters of various utilities and insurance companies, such as Rockefeller, Morgan and other large conglomerates.

There are not many places in the United States that can make the godfather condescend, this is a place, Chen Jun is very curious about who the big man is, after entering a bank, hearing the godfather say the name of that person, he has a feeling of being in history.

The whole process consists of 3/4 of the conversation by Chen Jun and the character, the godfather is on the side to guide the rhythm of the conversation, he did not show the future financial trend of the previous madness, first, the level positioning is different, and the depth of study is abrupt and embarrassing, and secondly, people are also one of the helmsmen of the current financial industry, and the trend has long been in the planning.

After the conversation, for seven days, Chen Jun was then taken by the godfather to meet five or six big people, even if one or two of them were not big compared to the godfather, but the godfather still took him to the door to pave the way for the future.

After a brief visit, on Sunday it was the Godfather's turn to summon the two captains of the Corleone Empire, Clemenza and Thesio, and the Warlord Lucabrazi.

The first two followed their godfather to make a fortune at a young age and mastered most of the forces in the Corleone family, while the latter Luca Blazi, who did not have a large number of subordinates, but his personal reputation in the east was louder than the first two and had appeal.

In terms of loyalty, according to the performance of the three people in the movie, Chen Jun has his own calculations and knows who will be a werewolf in the future and who will jump back.

Redwood Office.

Thesio, Calemenza looked at Chen Jun who was sitting in the main seat, next to the godfather Vito Corleone and the advisor Tom Hagen sitting on both sides, they glanced at each other, suppressed the waves in their hearts, and sat down.

Luca Brazzi had a calm expression, he was the one who brought William to the United States, he naturally knew the godfather's intentions, and he was William's fighting playmate in his youth.

"As you may already know, I have given the position to William, and now he is the object of your allegiance."

Godfather Vito Corleone spoke first, "I don't want you to go against his will, it's better not to have even a single thought, his will is my will, his thoughts are my thoughts, I want you to follow him as you did with me." ”

His words were full of majesty and force, like an old king reprimanding his subjects mercilessly.

The three of them nodded yes and agreed with Chen Jun's wishes.

After the godfather finished singing, he sang with a red face when Chen Junlai: "I respect your opinions, I will treat my friends gently, treat my enemies coldly, you are all my relatives, I trust you, first of all, I have three suggestions." ”

Everyone knows that 'advice' = 'order', especially in the new position, this is an order that must be strictly enforced.

"First: Sonny has an accident, and his personnel have been reorganized, and Luca Brazzi is in charge."

Clemenza and Thesio couldn't help but be shocked, Sonny's original people were the largest corps of the Corleone family, plus Luca's original personnel, the total number was close to the two of them combined.

"Don?" Thesio couldn't help but be surprised.

The godfather said quietly: "This is William's personal decision, and my inquiry will damage his prestige, so you had better obey and continue to listen." ”

Chen Jun glanced at Thesio, and the small book had already been recorded.

"Second: If Thesio, Clemenza, you work in my hands for a year without reservation, you can all separate from the Corleone family and form your own family, of course, our friendship will remain, and during this period, the Corleone family's property in the region will also be handed over to you."

This is an order negotiated between Chen Jun and the godfather, and the two battles will follow the godfather for many years, and he is gradually getting old and fixed-minded, and he can no longer keep up with his rhythm, nor does it meet the needs of the Corleone family's legal transformation, so it naturally needs to be cut.

Satisfying the heart's desires of the two of them, and throwing them the black industry that the Corleone family wants to give up is also a way to soothe it.

It's just that they don't know that the Corleone family wants to get out of this quagmire, so on the surface, it's basically a benefit.

As for the Corleone family's force problem, the godfather does not need to worry about rebellion, and at the same time, Luca has most of the loyal and effective force that can be controlled, and the most important thing is that the Corleone family controls the network between the upper and upper echelons of the legal industry, and it is difficult for Clemenza and Thesio to be truly independent, and they can be used as rags when they want to be used.

And even if they want to be truly independent, the upper-level network is not something that can be obtained by simply killing the Corleone family, just like the five major families are at war with the Corleone family, and they are also allowed to share the network with the godfather, but cannot be seized.

In the opposite direction, if Sorozzo had killed the godfather, most of the Corleone family's power would have collapsed directly, so killing Sorozo against the godfather was a must.

When Thesio and Calemenza heard the news of Chen Jun, their faces were full of shock, they didn't expect that their lifelong vision of establishing a personal family would be realized so easily in the hands of the new godfather, this kind of promise, maybe they really misunderstood him.

Seeing the reaction of the two of them, Chen Jun was not surprised, the temptation of this kind of carrot is not small, and countless mafia people are eager to target the godfather and set up their own family named after their surname, and they are among them.

"Your will is our will!" Thesio and Calemenza nodded to Chen Jun.

"Third: As of today, Tom Hagen is relieved of his position as advisor to the Corleone family."

Everyone was surprised, looking at the godfather, at Chen Jun, and finally at Heigen with a stunned face.
