Over the years, the Sicilian Group has subsidiaries all over the world, in particular in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy......

Its business types are varied, whether it is tobacco and alcohol, real estate, financial securities, automobiles, ships, trade, transportation, medical care, all of which occupy a place in various countries.

Mansa and Sirona were married two years ago, and after the marriage his mother died, when Marlena and Russell attended the funeral, his mother was a professor of obstetrics and director of the first medical institute in Sicily, and made no small contribution to the medical cause of Catania, helping many civilians to recover their health.

When the residents heard that their father had come to attend the funeral, they looked at him with respect.

In their opinion, the old godfather, although he is old, still has in his heart the inhabitants and the people who have contributed to Sicily.

Sirona accepted the research institute, and took charge of the hospital, and also opened a medical company in Sicily, the main products are medical equipment and new dental materials, named Sirona Medical, Sicily Group injected 60% of the capital, and the remaining 40% is Sirona's own.

After Mansha gave up the American fashion magazine company, Victor gave her dry shares to ensure that she would not be short of money to spend in the future.

And Kutch had a lot of fun in the United States, these two boys should have inherited his father's romance, and he is still not married after 33 years, the last time he met his father, Russell asked him: Where is your elf?

Kachi frowned and said with a slightly embarrassed face: "She flew away and returned to the elven kingdom." ”

Then he was ridiculed by Russell and Marlena, and Kachi wondered why other parents were urging him to marry at his age, but his parents were nothing. As if there was no such son as him.

Kachi asked unwillingly: "I'm not married at such an age, and my parents don't urge me, am I my own?" ”

Then Marlena got up and slapped him in the face, angrily, "No! ”

Victor and Mansha snickered as they watched him get beaten.

"Kachi, you have to find a marriage partner as soon as possible, you see that your nephews are about to enter elementary school."

Victor said.

Mansha rubbed her belly and said, "Your nephew is about to be born." ”

With a look of remorse on his face, Kuchi said, "I can't give up a forest. ”

Russell and Marlena were a little helpless, who this kid was with, the two discussed for several years and didn't understand it, and finally concluded that Kachi was very likely to have a genetic mutation.

At present, the Sicilian Group is developing rapidly in the hands of Victor, and he mainly implements one line of thought, that is, he does not dare to provoke his powerful others, otherwise he will be robbed of his wealth even if he is worth trillions, and finally make a family ruined.

This is what Victor learned from his father, who when he was a child, he saw his father conquer the enemy by force, so that the rats hiding in the shadows did not dare to wait for the opportunity to move, and then released the old cat to bite him directly when the rats were defenseless.

Therefore, Vidot has sent many young people in their twenties to France over the years to join the French Foreign Legion, and when they finish their service, they will join the security company of the Sicilian Group and become the backbone.

I have to say that although the Sicilian sergeants are very strong, their military training is indeed inferior to that of Britain, France and the United States.

Recently, there have been pirates in the Red Sea, the Mediterranean, the Strait of Tunis, and other places, and the maritime trade has suffered a lot of blows, and even the warships have not had time to clear them, because these pirates move very quickly, and the tactics they use are the tactics of chasing me and fleeing, and you go and disturb me.

Victor asked his subordinates to follow the ship in person, sending the mercenaries of the security company to protect him, and encountered two groups of pirates along the way, both of which were destroyed by the mercenaries.

Victor's subordinates then negotiated with the pirates, and the end result was that the pirates paid for the supplies, which were the same as the market price.

Since then, the ships of the Sicilian Group have never been disturbed by pirates.

This method of fundamentally solving the problem, Victor still learned from his father, the so-called human sophistication is the first thing to find out the other party's demands, in order to be solved.

In 1976, Russell's subordinates went to see the Virgin one after another, which made Russell unable to eat for several days, and the three children rushed back to their homes to accompany them after hearing about it.

Oriato and Sylvana were the first to follow Russell, and their departure is truly sad. They are indeed a little older, they are more than ten years older than Russell, and they were in their 70s when they died, and it is a good death to live until now.

Then there are Felistto and Federica, the couple who did not meet their old godfather Russell, can be described as hard-working mandarin ducks, and their lives are very hard. After following Russell, the family property also exceeded 10 million, close to 100 million.

Northin also passed away a few days ago, he was only close to the oil field in his life, according to his words: The oil field is the gift of the godfather, and my close to the oil field is close to the godfather!

】

The children of these people all work in the Sicilian group, and the positions are not small, and the relationship with Victor is also very close, after all, they have played from childhood to adulthood.

This is also the reason why Russell insisted on letting the children go back to Sicily to study, if they can't become Sicilians, they don't have any sense of belonging, and without belonging, there is no goal, and their hearts are dead.

In fact, Russell was very reluctant to watch his subordinates leave one by one, and he especially did not want to experience this kind of sadness.

Oriyatu and others are very easy to use, affectionate, and loyal......

March 1979.

Sicily, small town.

The sea breeze blew indiscriminately, refreshing Russell and Malena as they walked along the shoreline.

Now Russell's health is still good, he is only 63 years old, not very old.

And Marlena is now just 65 years old, and her pace is still steady.

He was followed by several children, all of whom were Russell's grandchildren, including Victor's children and Mansa's children.

It is worth mentioning that Kachi once again has an elf, who called back a few days ago and said that he would definitely get married this year and have five children next year.

Marlena laughed and scolded: It's not in tune......

At the end of February, news came from the United States that Felix had died, and the helmsman of the Buchzio family could not survive the cancer cells, even with the most advanced medical technology today, he still could not take it back from the clutches of death.

Victor had met Felix before and had a deep chat with him for more than three hours.

After his death, Victor took the Buchzio family into his pocket and let them return to Sicily, and those who did not want to return developed in the United States, and the Corleone family would not let them go.

Why? Because Felix knew that no one in the family could afford to take on the heavy responsibility, and his son and his cousin's son were idle in the United States, and they were not at all material for business.

Instead of taking over the trading business, it was a big mistake. It is better to cut off their thoughts, and then give them shelter to ensure that they will have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

Felix was loyal, and he would not have been able to hand over the trading company without the slightest selfishness.

Russell's heart is complicated by this, because he has lost a good subordinate again.

Many times Victor was like his father, except that he liked to hold what belonged to him in his hands, while Russell had everything in his hands.

One is imaginary and the other is real.

This also exposes the shortcomings of Vidor, who is not very good at hiding his competitiveness.

March 14th.

Russell heard from Chris, who received an award from Archbishop Gilday Beto in a church in Rome, awarding him a medal of St. Basdien.

At this time, the old Pope of the Vatican was not dead, and this old guy lived for a long time, and he didn't know if he drank the water given by Our Lady, or if there was another way to live a long life.

Mike accepted the medal, which meant that he completely laundered the family business, but only the last part was missing, that is, how to get rid of those partners in New York, including Antubello and Qiao Yin......

He had a long conversation with Archbishop Gildie Beto, during which there was no confession, only business.

The financial crisis of the Vatican intensified, and Beto was appointed by the old pope to absorb a powerful investor, and the old pope personally approached Russell, the godfather of Sicily, but was bluntly refused.

But if you don't find investment now, the finances will really collapse, and it will be a catastrophe for the Vatican.

Seeing that Mike did not agree, Beto became a little anxious, and found the banker and treasurer Cansik, as well as the Italian mafia godfather Rukesi, and asked them to help persuade Mike.

After they met Mike, they offered to exchange the shares of the European real estate company Yili Group for Mike's capital injection.

After thinking about it, Mike agreed, and said that he would raise money when he returned to New York.

He left Rome and did not rush back to New York, but came to Sicily, to the town of Corleone, where his father had lived, where he had walked, where he had fallen in love with Apollonia......

Finally, he met Russell.

It's an afternoon, and the sun is shining warmly on my face.

Russell and Mike sat in the courtyard with some of Cuba's finest cigars and black teas on the table.

"These are your grandchildren?"

Russell looked at the children and smiled, "That's right, do you have grandchildren?" ”

Mike lost his mind slightly and shook his head: "No, my son is not married, and my daughter is not ......"

"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and my second son Kachi is not married."

Mike turned his head and opened his mouth slowly, "I came to see you, mainly to see you." But seeing you so happy, I feel a little jealous in my heart. ”

"Haha... You're more straightforward than you used to be. After Nia died, you didn't continue the strings? ”

"No, I've seen Kai...... Kay, do you remember? It was Connie's wedding, my ex-girlfriend. ”

"Yes."

"She's still single, but she has children...... After I met her, I understood that you said that finding a Sicilian woman was the right choice. ”

Mike took a sip of black tea: "Kay is a typical American thinking, she is selfish in her bones, she has no concept of family at all, she treats her children very favoritly, and she is not very good at educating children...... Same with me. ”

"Your child is rebellious?"

"Yes, Anthony went to the conservatory, and after graduating, he devoted himself to music, and he signed with the Kutch Agency."

"Oh, yes, I haven't cared about the company's business for a long time."

Russell looked at Mike, and his heart didn't fluctuate.

He knew why Mike had come, and he wanted to find his own soul, because he had always had a hurdle in his heart that he had not overcome.

"I envy you, Russell...... I've been unconvinced all these years, but since your son Victor took over the Sicilian Group, I know I'll never catch up with you. Educating your children is not as good as you, doing business is not as good as you, and you are not as good as you in all aspects. ”

Russell cut a cigar and said, "Did you come to me to open the knot?" ”

"Yes, I must admit it...... My father was right......"

The two chatted for more than four hours, and even dinner was eaten at home.

During this time, Mike cried bitterly and laughed in all directions, and after being seen by Russell's granddaughter, she whispered to him: Grandpa, should Grandpa Mike see a psychiatrist.

Russell laughed: "He has already come to his grandfather to see the psychiatric department, so he doesn't need to look at his brain." ”

McKee is a few years younger than Russell, but he is not in good health, a few years ago he changed to diabetes, recently due to low blood sugar several times almost fainted, combined with the pressure of the heart knot, increasingly emaciated.

After opening the knot with Russell, Mike is going back to New York.

As he was leaving, Russell said, "If you want to go back to Sicily to retire, you can go to the small town of Corleone." ”

Mike nodded in thanks, "Thank you." ”

In fact, Russell did not have any hostility towards him, and neither did Mike...... It's just that he was young and vigorous at the time and refused to admit defeat.

During this time, Marlena and Russell planted corn at home, and Mantha and Victor came back from time to time to help, and both of them were always in Sicily, except that Katch was in Hollywood, USA.

Half a month passed in the blink of an eye, and on this day Victor and Russell had a message.

"Dad, there was a terrorist attack in New Jersey, USA, a helicopter opened fire in the air, killing most of the people who were partying on the rooftop, these people were partners in the Corleone family in New York, and only a few escaped."

Russell looked up and said, "You think it's infighting?" ”

"Yes, I got the exact information that Antiubello and Joyin, who are now in charge of the Corleone family business in New York, were the masterminds of the attack, and they wanted to kill Mike and the others."

"Why?"

"For ......"

Victor was stunned when he thought of this, and immediately analyzed: "Mike is to invest in the European Standing Group, and Qiao Yin attacked them because he didn't let him participate...... So someone within the Standing Group wants to kill Mike? ”

Russell pointed at Victor and said, "The old Pope told me that if he died unnaturally, then there must be something wrong within. ”

"But the old Pope is not dead."

"He's almost there."

Sure enough, the news of the death of the old pope was broadcast on television for three days, and then Cardès Bello took over as pope.

Russell was lost in thought at the news, picked up the phone and dialed Nevino's phone.

"Can you still move?"

Nevino was stunned and shouted excitedly, "Godfather, I am always ready for your call!" ”

"Half an hour later, we met in the downtown area of the town."

"Yes!"

Hang up.

Inside, Mansa helped Marlena out, and they had just heard Russell's call.

"Daddy! Where are you going? ”

Russell got up and smiled and said, "I'm going to the Vatican." ”

"Can you not go...... Vidor will take care of it. ”

Russell shook his head: "This is my matter with the old Pope, the old Pope came to me for the sake of my face when Vidot got married, I didn't agree to him to ask me to do something, and his appearance made it much easier for Vidot to inherit the Sicilian group, so I owe the old Pope a favor." ”

He walked over and touched Malena's face and said, "We Sicilians will take revenge and repay kindness." Marlena, you'll understand me, right? ”

Marlena red-eyed and said, "But you're so old......"

"My body is like a twenty-year-old boy now!"
