Noodles and Paisy leave, and Russell turns around and spits out smoke.

The plot of "Once Upon a Time in America" seems to be about gang fighting, but it is actually about friendship and dreams.

It's just that dreams and friendships don't end well, which can't help but make Russell wary.

It seems that if you are struggling to survive in the United States, you must be an absolute self-interester, otherwise the outcome will definitely be miserable.

At this time, people came to this land with the American Dream in mind, and worked hard just to realize their dreams.

However, what is the dream?

She is a mesmerizing banknote, a scourge of lust, and a terrifying right, and in the end these elements come together to form a sin that seems calm but is actually chaotic...

In other words, she's everywhere!

It's just that what puzzled Russell was that the heavens did not give target information, and there was a gap of eight or nine years between the beginning of the plot of the American past and the end of the sinking of the Titanic.

Do you want to change the fate of noodles and others?

But they are not yet ten years old, and they are still ten years away from becoming adults.

If Noodle can successfully grow up and not impulsively commit crimes and go to prison because of the loss of his friends, maybe he is worth cultivating...

After all, the character of the noodles has now come to the fore.

He got a 40-cent tip from Russell, and his friend Percy bought all the 20 cents he got for donuts, but he saved it and didn't spend it scruples.

From here, you can see his attitude towards friendship and money.

If someone else had been tipping 40 cents, it would have been nice to give 10 cents to the attendant, after all, Paisy hadn't talked to Russell the whole time, and had just followed the noodles a few steps.

Besides, it is not easy for him to know how to manage money at such a young age.

A few days later.

In the early morning, a ray of warm sunlight shone into the room.

Ruth stroked her hair and sat at the dresser adjusting her makeup.

Russell, on the other hand, was lying on his side on the bed, raising the corners of his mouth to admire her charismatic movements.

Last night, there was a burglary and murder in this neighborhood, and the killer fled in a hurry at 2 a.m. and disappeared into the neighborhood.

It wasn't just Russell who heard the movement, many people in the neighborhood heard it, but no one went to help.

As for why? For no reason, most people choose to sit idly by when disaster doesn't befall them.

Besides, why did Russell help, it's America here!

The half-year-old Jewish man and his maid were stabbed six times and died tragically on their beds.

It wasn't until dawn that a note came to check it, and the body was transported away without blocking the scene.

Then it was settled, and the crime was blamed on the boss of the block, Ba Geshe.

Before noon, Ba Geshe sent two men to turn himself in.

"I'm going to Boston with Mr. Astor tomorrow, you can get some gifts and visit Molly and I'll pick you up when I get back."

Mrs. Brown's seriously ill relative eventually died, and she did not inform Russell to attend the funeral, but now that she knew about it, she had to go and see it, and maintain the human relationship.

"Okay, when are you coming back?"

"I don't know, it depends on Mr. Astor's voice in Boston, and if he is weak, it will be a little difficult to deal with."

"Well, Mrs. Pulitzer has asked me to go shopping in the morning, I'll buy some gifts, and I'll visit Mrs. Brown in the afternoon."

As soon as Ruth was dressed, a maid sent by Mrs. Pulitzer drove to pick her up.

Not long after she left, Tommy and Sain arrived in a brand new Ford.

They parked the car at the courtyard gate and got out of the car and walked into the house.

As he reached the door, Tommy turned his head to look at the street and saw two children squatting at the corner of the street, and three or five young men gathered around the corner of a narrow alley on one side.

Enter the room.

Tommy and Sain greet the boss, and Russell invites them to sit down and talk.

"The Irish and the Italians are fighting again, and we happen to have two speakeasies and three mobile casinos at this juncture."

"Originally, I thought that after they fought, our business would be very hot, but now it doesn't seem very optimistic."

"Last week, the bar made less than $300, and the small casino made less than $600 in pit fees."

Russell stared at him with a frown, puffing on his cigar and flicking the ashes.

"Who's in charge of these two businesses?"

"Astdam and his cousin."

Tommy bowed his head and said in a deep voice, "In order to support their cause, I asked Laimai to recruit twenty Englishmen who had been bullied by the Irish in West Midtown, that is, Hell's Kitchen. ”

"But Adam's management is very poor, and he is very conniving with his subordinates, and his cousin is even more ... It's hard to put into words. ”

Russell asked with a straight face, "What does this mean?" ”

Tommy was speechless and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

"It means that you have placed the unsuitable person in an inappropriate position."

Russell said indifferently: "Although Asdam is calm, he will only do what you explain, and he is one-eyed, lacks the spirit of using his brain, and is easy to be impulsive when encountering problems." ”

"So his position should be that of a deputy, not a major manager. His ability and position are not well matched, and he is unable to do things, and he is trembling... You say that he indulges his men, but you don't know how to deal with them, because Ashdam is very cautious with you. ”

Tommy's whole body trembled when he heard this, and it suddenly dawned on him.

Every time he talks to his boss, he learns something, and even if the boss says something very vague, he can learn from it and sum up the experience.

Install the latest version. 】

So, Tommy's progress is visible to the naked eye, but his fellow villagers are a little less savvy.

"Boss, if you replace Yastang now, it may make others waver, or I will command him for a while, and then transfer him to another place when the business improves, okay?"

Russell nodded in satisfaction: "Very good, just do it." But you can't put Astang too high, or you'll have a gap in your mind when you replace him, you know? ”

"Understood!"

"New York is like a hot melting pot, and when everyone else is sweating and working, there's always someone who gets lazy. But you can't throw lazy people into the garbage truck like garbage. ”

Tommy said solemnly and respectfully, "I'll throw the self-thief into the furnace!" ”

Russell leaned back on the couch and crossed his legs and placed his cigar on the ashtray.

"You should know that this is the United States, people work hard to chase profits, and the same is true for the people who follow you, if there is no profit to drive, who is willing to be a cow or a horse?"

Tommy's eyes flickered, "Boss, I see what you mean." ”

He knows exactly what his boss is talking about, and in simple terms, he wants the people who follow him to make enough money to share what he gets fairly.

Russell pointed at him and asked, "Is your child old enough to go to school?" When the summer recruitment comes, I recommend that she attend classes at a community college, and you need to apply for her identification in advance. ”

Immediately, Tommy's eyes widened and his body trembled.

Excited, he suddenly jumped up, "Boss! …”

Russell waved his hand and frowned: "Sit down, don't put all your emotions on your face, understand?" ”

"I... I... Good! ”

Tommy was quite excited, if the family was still farmers on British farms, then his children would not have the opportunity to go to school at all, although there were civilian colleges in the UK, but it was a children's paradise, and they could not learn anything at all.

True knowledge and etiquette were in the hands of the aristocracy, and the commoners wanted to learn to imitate? Sorry, you didn't stand a chance.

"I'm going to Boston tomorrow, and the business of New York will be handed over to you, can you do it well?"

Tommy blushed, "It's going to be done, boss, don't worry!" Even if you throw me into the furnace, I won't be afraid......"

Russell waved his hand and did not listen to him to show his loyalty.

The least valuable thing in America is the oath.

The reason why he dared to hand over the gray business to Tommy was to train him to be the person in charge of the industry.

Although the core culture of the United States is betrayal, discrimination, and self-interest......

But Russell is sure to make Tommy and the others die, as for Tommy's men? It's up to Tommy to grasp it.

"After I'm gone, Ruth will visit Mrs. Brown, and the house will be vacant."

When Tommy heard this, he said, "I'll send two men to guard it." ”

Russell smiled: "There is nothing of value in the house, but you have to be on guard." ”

"Yes, when Sain and I got out of the car just now, we saw two children at the corner of the street, and there were a few young people at the entrance of the alley next to it, I suspect that those two children are Wangfeng, and those young people are not good things, boss, they are all Jews......"

"Well, Jews...... The neighborhood is chaotic and looks like it's going to be cleaned up. ”

Tommy said, "Leave it to me, boss, I can do it." ”

"No, you take care of your own business, these Jews are not easy to deal with, they are very independent, wait for me to come back and deal with it myself."

"Okay."

Tommy replied and continued: "Boss, your house is very spacious, if you need a servant, I will ask Amani to come over. ”

Amani is Tommy's wife.

Russell frowned and shook his head: "No, she is your wife, and you let her serve me and Ruth and treat her as a servant, which will make your people think that you are an unscrupulous person." ”

Tommy said solemnly: "Boss, I just want to be an unscrupulous person, I want everyone to know that I am loyal to you and surrender to you!" ”

"Hahaha... Tommy, you're looking more and more like a boss now. ”

Tommy was stunned, and then smirked: "I, I'm also like the boss, and I'm ugly." ”

"A word of advice to you, once you enter this industry, there is no possibility of quitting. All you can do is clear all the obstacles ahead to be safe, you know? ”

"Understood!"

In fact, Tommy is very smart, he knows that his wife and daughter will be very dangerous after entering this business, so he took the opportunity to propose that his wife come to the boss's side, because it is safer here than anywhere else.

Of course, there is also the meaning of letting the boss let down his guard and sending his wife and daughter as hostages.

"The whole of Manhattan is going to be chaotic for you to have a chance to make business boom, and residents recognize a safe and stable platform, not a place where you are in danger every once in a while."

"Understood!"

Now Russell's right-hand man is only Tommy, and they have formed a small group, led by Tommy to start a business in Manhattan, and when he started his business, Russell provided $5,000 support, which is an investment, and it will definitely pay off in the future.

After Tommy and the two left, Russell picked up the cigar from the ashtray and took two puffs.

Thinking that only Tommy can use his subordinates, this is not good......

So, he thinks he should find two or three more people to support him and start a business in Queens or Brooklyn.

In this way, not only can a balance be achieved, but also ignite the competitive spirit of several people, and when the time comes, they will be full of enthusiasm to compare their performance with each other.

It's just that there is no one available at the moment, so you can't support the nine-year-old noodles, that's ridiculous and funny.
