The only people currently sitting at the table are Vito and Tataglia and Solaso, and the three of them are certainly not going to play landlord fights, so onlookers are waiting for a table of Texas Hold'em.

Russell delivered important news to Vito that if Vito didn't win the chips in this game, he would be on the back foot.

However, the more passive it is, the more it helps Russell play.

Anyway, his target is Solazo, as for Brazili? It's just a little spice in a boring life, if he doesn't get moldy, Russell won't deal with him, if it is moldy and stinky, then it's time to deal with him.

Originally, Russell didn't want to care about Vito's family, their life and death have nothing to do with Russell, don't think that Russell calls Uncle Vito how good the relationship is, in fact, it is all because of his status and status.

If Russell wasn't the Sicilian Godfather, would Vito take care of him? Does Sonny invite him for a drink? Would Tom call him Mr. Corleone?

It is precisely because he sees clearly that he will not make mistakes in dealing with problems, and even if he makes mistakes, he has the opportunity to make up for them.

And Vito's mistake was made up for by his reminder, Vito first asked Luca Blasi to stop, he carefully thought about Russell's reminder, and no matter how he thought about it, he felt that he was right, and he really shouldn't send a killer to be a spy, this is an experimental question.

Moreover, Luca is still a person with aphasia, and communication has become a big problem.

Everyone in New York knows that Luca is Vito's cleaner, and for such a loyal person to betray him?

Are you kidding?!

Soon, Vito made a strategic adjustment, he asked Clemenza to recommend a man to join the Tartaglia family, and Klemenza directly introduced the 'buttonman' Paulie Cato he had just brought up to Vito.

Vito asks Kremenza why he threw his driver out, doesn't he know that the driver's position is important?

"Godfather, it's because it's so important that the Tartaglia family believes it, and Pauli loves money, and he can do anything for it," said Kremenza. ”

Vito frowned and fell silent, as if he understood what Kremenza meant.

When the forest is big, there are all kinds of birds, and after the family grows, there are all kinds of people, there are countless people who love money and are greedy for sex, and if people don't have a hobby, it's hard to believe.

On this day, when Vito and Russell were on the phone, they talked about this topic.

"Do you think Poly will actually join the Tartaglia family?"

Russell laughed, "It depends on whether he still drives for you, and if he has a time when he is abnormal, it means betrayal." ”

"That's right...... Did you find Solazo? ”

"He's like a rat in the sewers of New York, better than the...... There is no news at the moment. ”

"There was no movement either, as if they had greeted each other in advance, and disappeared at the same time."

"I can get Bassini to show up, but I need the support of your newspaper."

"What do you mean?"

"You can ask the newspaper to write about the beating of Bassini at the wedding, I'm sure a lot of people are willing to gossip, I'll provide the photos."

“…… It turns out that you kept the photo to use it like this. ”

"That's right."

"But it's dangerous for you to do that, and Bassini is a very good guy for forbearance, and if the newspaper news doesn't anger him, the revenge will be crazy in the future," Vito said. ”

"He'll shut up forever before he goes crazy."

"Well, if he still hasn't made any moves, then there's something more far-reaching...... Russell, what do you think of my son Sonny? ”

Russell smiled when he heard this: "The young eagle that lives under its wings does not dare to spread its wings and jump down and fly when it stands on the edge of the cliff. ”

Vito was silent and said, "It seems that I should learn from the eagle and push the young eagle." ”

"But the consequences are serious, can you afford it?"

“…… I'm 53 years old, and the Corleone family can't live without a future. ”

"So, it's an adult exam."

Ridiculous? No, from a historical point of view, no matter which dynasty or generation in the East and the West, most of the more famous people are the founders of the country or the people who changed the law.

Vito and Russell are the same kind of people, they are both self-made people who created an empire in just a few years, but the era and timing that Russell experienced were different from Vito's, so he achieved faster and more stable career success.

The heirs are much worse than their parents, and unless the empire is about to collapse and a new successor emerges to make changes, the kingdom will be lonely and depressed.

Sonny is a burly man, with strength and courage, but the disadvantage is that he is short-tempered and easily falls into the trap of his enemies.

Freddie's personality is gloomy and extreme, lacking charisma and courage, and he is timid and fearful...... It's hard to believe he's Vito's son.

Mike has been in the army, has fought on the battlefield, has a calm personality, and is quite charismatic.

If Vito had to make a choice, he would definitely choose Mike, because according to his plan, Mike could go to the university after graduation, and then he would be a Corleone councilor, mayor, governor, or even secretary of state.

Vito's inner thoughts, Russell is generally clear, but if things move forward, his plan will eventually fall through.

Russell is also weighing whether to help out, so that he can count on his own in New York.

But if you think about it carefully, it doesn't take it seriously, if you let Mike get right, then there will be two Corleones in the whole of America in the future, and when the time comes, will it be the Sicilian godfather Corleone who will say it, or Senator Corleone who will say it?

It's better to hold the handle of many positive guests, even if you play with fire and burn yourself, you will die as you deserve...... Afraid of what? Even if Russell wanted to die, Hoover and Crane would not let him.

In the past two weeks, Clead and Russell have spoken twice on the phone and earnestly inquired about Russell's demands in the United States.

Russell said very bluntly: Just keep me and my family safe, and the agents stay away from Peninsula Manor.

Crane said: Those agents are there to protect your family.

The devil believes this!

After a few words with Crader, there was no threat in words, but each topic revealed what Hoover had in his hands......

Transvestism? That's just an appetizer, three old men drinking and having fun in the room, who would dare to believe it!

Hoover never came forward, he was very annoyed with the Corleone who suddenly targeted him, and he obviously wanted to kill him, but he didn't dare to do anything.

Once he died, those pictures of him would make headlines in the newspapers.

Russell used the FBI to get a lot of information without much effort, and he held the regular guests in New York State in his hands, and he didn't dare to put a single fart.

Someone hears that he is Vito's nephew and calls Vito to help him intercede.

Vito was stunned when he heard the news, he didn't expect Russell's methods to be so vicious, and he grabbed people seven inches when he shot, so that the other party directly had no strength to resist.

There is no lack of admiration and jealousy in my heart, if Russell and his eldest son Sonny's identities are reversed, then the Corleone family can be ranked in the top ten in the United States, and it will definitely be able to press DuPont, Hunter and other newly rich families to fight!

But how can this good thing get his turn, Vito politely refused on the phone, explaining that Russell is the godfather of Sicily, if you want to be more serious, Vito wants to retire in Sicily, it depends on his face.

Feeling hopeless, the guests visited in person, and Russell also met them one by one.

These people seemed to have discussed, and they didn't get together at all, and they basically came to visit half an hour after the predecessors left.

Russell was not a stingy man either, and they all walked with Sicilian cigarettes and Duke's black pearls and brandy, and the words 'Cheers to Friendship' written on them.

Even the White House residence of the President of the United States has Duke's Black Pearl, which Truman said tasted very good, and when Hoover saw it, he was much more relieved.

As long as you relax your heart, there is no hurdle that you can't pass.

Besides, Russell's mouth is very strict, and there is no malice, he just wants to make friends.

It's not tiring to get along with this group of regular customers, and the capital family standing behind these regular customers who are really troublesome.

At present, Russell has no idea of dealing with the capitalist family, because the New York shoe and clothing company is just getting on the right track.

The Kachi Mantha costume was officially featured in the film starring Johnny Fontan, and the director and owner of the film company was very face-saving and turned the whole film into a fashion show of 'Kachi Mansha'.

The reason is also that the costumes designed by Marlena are very avant-garde and fancy, which is deeply loved by movie stars, especially those actresses who want to win positions as soon as possible, and they can't wait to wear only three points on the screen......

But this is a regular movie, and Walzi can only make them wear nightdresses and stockings, and let the men wear decent suits and leather shoes......

In the end, after the film was released, it achieved very good results, and the national box office received 560,000 US dollars, but the investment was only 200,000 US dollars, of which 80,000 US dollars were not spent.

Since Russell invested $100,000 in the film, Roin Cohen, who was sent as the 'director', did not want to see the rest of the money flow into Walz's pocket, so he suggested that he divide the money among those involved in the film's production.

Of course, Walzi didn't dare to object, because Luo Yin Cohen had something to do with Hoover, and he didn't dare to pretend to be a big-tailed wolf in front of Luo Yin, so he could only be a man with his tail between his legs.

The movie must have made money, but Russell couldn't look down on the little money he made, so he asked Felisto to arrange for another person to go to California to be responsible for investing in movies, advertising and marketing.

The effect of the placement was so good that the brand of 'Kachimansa' in New York alone was launched, and many people on the streets were asking where to buy 'that kind of clothes'.

Don't doubt that although America is a very open country, it is only 1945, and many women in the new era have not yet been fully emancipated.

But Kachimansa will help them win their family status and increase their turnover......

Soon, within a week, two 'Kuchi Mantha' stores in New York were open for business, and the opening day was extremely hot and almost crowded!

Felisto's subordinates have made statistics, most of the ladies who came to buy novel loophole nightdresses that day are special professionals, this thing is too popular with men in bed, and you can earn three days a day by wearing it!

Women's clothing sells very well, men's clothing is slightly worse, not because the style is too avant-garde, but because the price is too expensive.

You must know that there are very few people in the United States who can really afford to wear branded clothing.

Most of them are low-quality models bought at street tailors, and then let the tailor cut them decently, which costs only a few dozen dollars, and a suit of Kachi Mansha costs more than 100, which is worth two months' salary of ordinary people.

Originally, Russell's positioning of the clothing brand was mid-to-high-end, but under the premise of no sales, the brand name could not be typed at all, in other words, there was no point of bragging even in the newspapers......

So he repositioned the brand, quickly conquered the market at a civilian price, first made a name for himself, and then launched high-end tailoring and luxury services.

Then, Philadelphia, Washington, Boston, and other cities also opened 'Kuchimansa' stores, and the stores in these cities were in department stores for two reasons: cheap rents and tax incentives.

Time was in a hurry, and it was soon the middle of December.

On that day, Oriyatu and Ancos flew from Sicily to New York.

A family dinner was held at Peninsula Estate that day, which included attorney Roin Cohen and Felix Buchchio.

Luo Yin is the company's chief legal counsel, and Felix is an assistant, and the two cooperate very well.

And Felix also turned positive some time ago, he sent his friend and two businessmen who committed him to prison, and sentenced him to six years in prison on charges of participating in organizing gang-related crimes, smuggling, and hiring murderers......

Evidence?

Felix found a few victims and arranged them directly. What does it mean to be unwarranted, this is conclusive evidence, understand?!

This style of doing things is obviously learned from Felisto, otherwise he would have to live in grievances for the rest of his life, and eventually end up with most members of the Buchchio family.

Once he got the hang of it, Felix was much more comfortable with things.

"Godfather, the goods produced in Europe are only waiting to be exported to the United States."

"Trading companies in the United States have been set up, but there is a lack of sales channels," Felisto said. ”

"Felix?"

"Yes, please, Godfather."

Felix put down the dishes and sat respectfully waiting for Russell's lecture.

"It's time for you to go back to the Buchchio family."

Felix frowned, his heart raised, and he said with some horror: "Godfather, I... I'm not leaving, I'm not doing anything wrong, I'm ......"

Luo Yin next to him patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be nervous, Godfather just asked you to go back and talk to Old Buchchio, and you don't want to watch the family always serve as a 'mediator' in New York, right?" ”

The family has lost many members over the years, including Felix's third uncle and cousin......

Felix suddenly relaxed when he heard this, and looked at Russell with blazing eyes.

"After you go back, find your father and tell him that if you don't want to continue to use the lives of family members to gain a foothold in New York, then help me do something."

"Thank you, Godfather, I'll be sure to talk to him."

In fact, there is no need to talk about it at all, he just needs to sit in front of his father and say: Now we have two paths, one to the light and the other to the far-reaching, you choose.

His father would have chosen the light, and if he hadn't had a choice, who the would want to live in the depths of the darkness.

When I first came to New York, I found such an opportunity because I didn't have a way to live, and now that life is no longer a problem, then I should look for other ways to live.
