Chapter 150: The Roots of Friendship......
"You personally sent Bergman an invitation, and with your present position and relationship with me, he would have to come over if he didn't want to. This is to enhance the bait and make his actions more certain, so that other forces can be arranged in advance. At the same time, he said that he also participated, a lot of money? Edward's answer was direct and crisp.
"You're already here, so back to the question, do you still think it's weird?"
Edward suddenly realized, "I see, you deliberately involved so many people and forces, on the one hand, to make his death seem more like a chance factor, and on the other hand, to make them vote."
"What is this?"
"Oh, oh, the traditional Chinese wisdom is that if a person wants to go up the mountain and become a robber, then he must kill someone to prove himself."
"That's wisdom," the other man nodded in approval.
"So, everybody comes in together, and then they divide the money together. And because there are too many people and organizations involved, even if someone really wants to dig up black material, when he finds out how big a group he is facing, he will probably be scared to let go. ”
"Yes, as for the details, I don't have much energy to talk to you about it for the time being, in fact, it doesn't matter if you don't know, after all, these are professionals in charge, you need to understand the truth is that as much as possible to use interests to envelop more people, the strongest bond between people is closely related interests, which is more important than any family and blood. This is where our nation has suffered the most in the past. ”
"In the Middle Ages, those lords and kings were all illiterate warriors, and they could only wage war if they wanted wealth, but they were so poor that they couldn't even come up with the military expenses for the war, so they had to borrow from us. Yes, how powerful the Jews were at that time, with a big stack of IOUs from kings and lords, who seemed to be of high status and rich, but these guys who had no money had knives in their hands, and when they felt that they could not afford to pay back, they pointed their knives at us, and that's why the anti-Jewish movement in the Middle Ages was repeated. Where did we go wrong? We use our interests to blackmail each other, not tie them up, so the other party swings a knife at us. ”
"As for the tragedy 40 years ago, there is no need to mention, in the end, it is because our wealth attracts the eyes of others, so what we have to do now is to hide the wealth, or use the wealth to lock in allies, of course, it is difficult, but if you don't do it, the consequences are obvious, such as Bergman......"
"Bergman? Didn't he take photos with many celebrities and receive a lot of thank-you letters? ”
"Silly boy, these things are clearly priced, $2,000 for dinner, three photos, and one person in the house if you pay an extra $1,000. Bergman lived so long that he couldn't even think about it. He thought that the $2,000 would buy security and some kind of protection, and he was very wrong. Yes, it was a deal, he paid for it, but he couldn't buy what he wanted. ”
"What did you buy?" Edward was curious
"It's just a sign of deception! I have all those things, and I have more and more than him. But have you ever seen me hang out? It can only be used to deceive the underprivileged or young people with little social experience...... This era is the best of times, and the United States is the best country, at least this system will not send us to the gas chambers, Bergman thinks so. So he took it for granted...... I feel that I can exchange it for a good value for money at a cheap price. Hey, there's such a good thing in the world. Good things have always been expensive and scarce, and they are absolutely impossible to sell on the open market. If you want to get it, you not only have to spend money, but also pay attention! It's like chasing a girl, of course, after the girl chases her, you can do whatever you want. And these good things...... When you get it, you have to be vigilant to make sure you don't get swallowed up by it. ”
"Wealth will always lead to disaster, it's up to you to prevent it!" The old rabbi sighed, "So interests are the best friendship and protection, I help the big guys make money, help them to make super profits easily and happily, and not illegal at all." With me, they just need to collect dividends with peace of mind, and they don't need to do these dirty things. So, why are they touching me? Even a lot of my business I do with money. But Bergman couldn't do that, he thought it would be enough to spend a little money every year and buy a photo shoot for dinner. What a joke, when did the big guys get the same as Hollywood stars? ”
"He's a fool, he thinks he has money and can talk about deals on an equal footing with those old men, big mistake, power, power is always the most feared and feared thing in the world, unless you have a higher power, otherwise in front of power, you should kneel, at least in the face of the extremely awe-inspiring gesture, let them treat you as a servant. It sounds humiliating, but if you think about it, usually no one kills their servants, especially very professional servants who can bring a lot of wealth, and they will do their best to protect them, so that you have enough security to continue your business. ”
"Historically, the Jews have been slaughtered because we have forgotten that we are servants, or because we want to change from servants to creditors, so that those who are in debt can wield knives in their hands and cut us to the ground. In this way, not only can you get rid of your debts, but you can also get a lot of wealth. ”
"But aren't you afraid that these atrocities will be recorded in history?" Edward asked
"History? Recording? It seems that you really don't understand history, and I wonder if you are a history major in your undergraduate. Leaving aside the fact that history is written by victors, which seems to be very true, but in fact has no practical guiding effect, these words, like the photographs that Bergman bought, can only be used to deceive the ignorant. ”
Grandpa touched his beard and continued to teach him lightly: "Let's talk about something practical, the simplest, in ancient Europe, those who mastered writing were clergy of the Holy See. ”
"That's right, hasn't the secular Junmaru always had all kinds of conflicts with the Holy See? Otherwise, there is no need for the Holy See to impose a great excommunication on the kings at every turn," Edward still did not understand.
"Yes, it's their struggle for power and wealth. But in the face of a new and huge fortune, even a feud will tacitly join forces. The illiterate kings and nobles brandished machetes at us, and the literate clergy used quill to invent accusations against us in order to justify the former's actions. You don't have to be surprised, in fact, when they are really poor and crazy, even their own people will do it. For example, the Knights Templar...... This is an organization that has both a sword and a pen, and then it is united by two organizations that only have one of them and is killed, the purpose of course is the huge wealth accumulated by the Knights, and by the way, two crippled giants join forces to destroy a healthy competitor, understand? ”
The old rabbi sighed: "Therefore, to be a servant and concentrate on being a good servant is to be qualified to live, and the accumulation of wealth will be a little slower, but at least wealth still exists, not that people and gold coins disappear in the long river of history." ”
Edward was unwilling to "be a servant for the rest of his life?" ”
"Of course not, we are not stupid, so take your time, my generation accumulates wealth, the next generation guards wealth, and your generation can intervene in politics on the basis of these wealth and connections, and only your own people are the umbrella of your own people? Got it? Think about it, if I were a senator, no, even just a representative. So who dares to use the brains of the people in our congressional constituency? No one dares! ”
Rabbi Mizrasi was a little excited, and Edward felt that maybe Bergman's death would not be easy for him, after all, the two had known each other for decades and had done a lot of business together.
The two old guys are actually quite familiar, although the latter died not very unjustly, but the sadness of the rabbit and the fox is also one of the common feelings of human beings.
"That's why I've been working hard in the community to pinch the Jews and force you to defend Sheldon, everyone has to be right about their own blood, we have to unite and open up the upward channel, send enough of our own people to the top, let them grasp the political power, so that our nation can survive in this world of the jungle, survive, understand! Got it! All we want for thousands of years is the simplest kind of survival, survival! ”
Edward felt powerless: "I, I think, I probably understand what you mean......"
"When I was young, I was as simple as you, and I always felt that as long as I obeyed the rules of the world, I would be treated well."
"It's hard to see, isn't it?" Edward asked rhetorically
There is nothing wrong with this statement, but! The premise is that you know all the rules, on the surface, underground, floating in the sky, and even hidden behind you! A person's life is a lifetime of knowing all kinds of rules! Only after understanding can we achieve compliance in the true sense. ”
"Otherwise, it's like Bergman," Rabbi Mizrasi emphasized, "and he's following the rules, but in the eyes of the big guys, the 'following the rules' he shows is as childish and ridiculous as we see kindergarten kids queuing up to cross the street!" For ordinary people, doing so can guarantee their own safety, but for you and me, for those who aspire to wield wealth and power, doing so is self-defeating. There are forever huge vultures hovering in the heavens of the United States! So Bergman can only give you the spoon. ”
"Spoons?" Edward was puzzled.
"Hey, this is the German saying, in ancient Germany, the spoon was the most important tableware, and everyone had their own fixed spoon, often used for decades, when the old man died, his spoon was usually passed on to the next generation as a legacy."
"Oh...... Okay, I think I get it," Edward shrugged, "Can I know who you're looking for this time?" ”
"Solomon, Elena. Actually, I know them and the people behind them, but it's more appropriate to talk to them about these things. And, of course, Stan Gordon, where is Santo the old Nizo in charge! ”
"Stan Gordon, can he get a share of the money too?"
"Not only that, he wants money on the one hand, on the other hand, he is eyeing the Genoves family, he wants to be promoted, so he must have a good performance, and his alliance with Solomon is like this, one to handle the case, and the other to prosecute. John Gorti was caught up by Stan Gordon because he was too arrogant, and he wanted to take this opportunity to find out what John Gorti was doing, and by the way, intimidate his men and knock something out of their mouths to surprise 'Blame Tony'."
Edward smiled: "I didn't expect Kabamazein to be so capable that he actually got John Gotti out on bail, so Stan Gordon's inquiry plan was greatly affected...... This time, John Gotti will probably have to go in for a while. ”
"Yes, you're smart. Stan Gordon is also a good trade partner, although he has a very dark heart and wants a lot, but the more he does this, the more reliable he becomes, because he is completely tied to us. ”
"So what benefits can the Nizo family get this time?"
"You've thought a lot, pour me another cup of coffee, God, why are the cookies gone?" Ed, you're eating too much! ”
Edward" ...... I, I haven't eaten a single piece! ”
"In short, your grandmother has to admit it when she asks! Got it? ”
"Okay......"
"Wait a minute, I'll give myself an insulin injection first, damn it...... Blood sugar! If only the Dow Jones had been soaring like my blood sugar! ”
"You still play stocks" Edward was a little curious
"No, the most unreliable thing is this thing, the money always has to be in a place where it can be seen."
……
Mizrasilabi babbled about old Nizo's thoughts as she pricked her needles.
Old Nizzo is having a hard time, and Genoves' Don "Blame Tony" is good at talking, but the small boss John Gotti is very annoying, and he has always wanted to completely occupy the body of Polo Park.
The old rabbi and the old Nizo have been friends for decades, and they both think that this is very good at the moment, and although the children on both sides have been fighting since they were young, the vicinity of Polo Park is very peaceful.
Only then did Edward understand why the Nizo family was able to stand tall and support his grandfather behind him for a long time.
As for why he supports him, most of them use his churches to help launder money, and use his own connections to help with dots, and small and medium-sized families like Nizzo lack relevant "professionals", which is not as good as the five major families.
Secondly, it is probably because the Genoves family is too aggressive, if they are really fully integrated into the community, I am afraid that Mizrasi Rabi's life will be much more difficult.
On the side of the Nizo family, it is equivalent to providing force protection, and when the old rabbi has something that cannot be solved by civilized methods, then the other party is obviously happy to help.
As Santo said, Jewish children like to make friends with Italian children to prove their bravery, and in turn, an Italian child who mixes well with Jewish children will be considered full of wisdom by his peers.
This was true when I was a child, and it was still like this when it came time to fast-forward the coffin.
It's just that......
"Don't Italians believe in Our Lady in particular? You, you're a rabbinic of Judaism......"
While arranging his clothes and pants, the other party threw the disposable syringe into the trash can, and covered it with a few pieces of paper: "Render to God what is God's, and Caesar's to Caesar's, if it is exactly according to the doctrine, we will not live." ”
"You probably don't know, there is a group of fundamentalist Jews who still think Hitler is the thirteenth angel......"
"Poof" Edward almost fainted, what is this?
"For the Torah says that God will send the thirteenth angel to try to exterminate the Jews, and then a new and immortal kingdom of Judea will be born on it......"
"I ...... This ......" Edward suddenly felt that words were not enough, and after a long time, he muttered to himself in Chinese: "This Nima, feudal superstition kills people, and the whole thing is as if it has always harmed people......"
