Chapter 234: A God Who Can Only Look Up
Ethan Hunt naturally couldn't read so many things from one look, but he felt a little inexplicable.
Out of politeness, he nodded slightly at Sheng Tianbu and said, "Mr. Sheng, goodbye!" ”
Sheng Tianbu smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Henry, if you need special help in the future, you can contact me, I should be able to help you." ”
John Henry, this is his current pseudonym.
On the Hong Kong Island, there are naturally CIA intelligence officers.
In the past three years or so since Sheng Tianbu's rise, the limelight has been the strongest and the momentum is the strongest, which is naturally the focus of their investigation, and various reports related to Sheng Tianbu have accumulated.
Before coming into contact with Sheng Tianbu, Jim and Ethan Hunter had read all of Sheng Tianbu's materials.
Ethan Hunter shrugged and said, "Thank you Mr. Sheng for your kindness, but I think the kind of situation you mentioned will never happen." ”
Sheng Tianbu didn't say anything more, and watched the two leave.
When the two left, only Sheng Tianbu and Mike Corleone were left in the box.
In the octagonal cage, the doctors and nurses in charge of the treatment of the K1 competition had already rushed in as soon as possible and began to treat Dafan, who had fainted.
Sheng Tianbu and Mike Corleone chatted while watching them treat Dafan.
Mike Corleone said, "I heard you're leaving tonight?" ”
Sheng Tianbu nodded and said, "The matter here is successfully resolved, and the rest of the things, as long as you are here, there will be no problem, and it is useless for me to stay here." ”
Mike Corleone nodded and said, "It's okay." ”
He suddenly lowered his voice and said, "Did you find something when you suddenly said that kind of thing just now?" Could it be that something was wrong with John Henry, or Jim? ”
This vigilance and observation are really not ordinary people.
Ethan Hunter, who is the person involved, is unaware of anything, but is captured by Mike Corleone.
Sheng Tianbu couldn't help but turn his head, glanced at Mike Corleone, and said casually: "It's nothing, we have a lot of fortune-telling methods in Yanguo, one of them is called physiognomy, I see that his seal hall is black, according to physiognomy, this is a great omen, just remind him by the way." ”
Mike Corleone laughed dumbly, knowing that Sheng Tianbu was joking, and understood his attitude, so he didn't ask any more.
"This will be one of the priorities of my work for the next two years, and I would like to continue to work with you to set up a company to take the K1 World Series internationally, what do you think?"
"The first K1 was still too hasty, and the competition system was very flawed."
"As far as Zovi is concerned, judging from the results, whoever touches him will lose, if Dafan touches him in the first round, then Dafan won't even be able to score in the top twenty?"
"In the future, K1 needs to be reformulated, and the competition system needs to be reformulated, to be fairer, and the best ranking can directly reflect the strength of the players......"
It can be seen that he is indeed very interested in holding the K1 World Series, and before Sheng Tianbu has agreed to him, he has already crackled and said a lot of future plans.
Sheng Tianbu smiled: "Mike, why did you choose me?" ”
"Your mafia has so many big families, the power is big enough, the strength is strong enough, we have an old saying in Yanguo, it is called that fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders, and they should be the first thing you look for, right?"
Mike Corleone shook his head and said, "They can't, the vast majority of families are very short-sighted, only focusing on immediate interests. ”
"How can they compare to you?"
Sheng Tianbu smiled and quipped: "Although I know that you are patting on the back, I still listen very comfortably, thank you first." ”
"The K1 competition can be cooperated, and we will talk about it in detail later."
"I still have something to do, let's go first."
Mike Corleone received Sheng Tianbu's affirmative reply, nodded with a chuckle, turned around, and personally sent Sheng Tianbu away.
When Zovi defeated Dafan and won the first K1 championship, it also meant that all the troubles in the Persian Gulf were solved, and there was no need to stay.
Sheng Tianbu immediately left without stopping.
——
The next day, Sheng Tianbu quietly arrived in Newyork.
This time, he came to inspect his company.
'Gluttony International Venture Capital Company', referred to as Gluttony Venture Capital, comes from the "Classic of Mountains and Seas".
Gluttony, the ancient beast, the biggest feature is: greedy!
Sheng Tianbu gave his company such a name, what it meant was already clear.
Before the stock market crash broke out, all the transactions on the side of the lighthouse country were done by gluttonous venture capital.
In fact, this kind of thing can also be done by Fuying Fund, but for the sake of entering the international financial market next, it is better to be executed by gluttonous venture capital.
Because Fortune Profit Fund is registered on Hong Kong Island.
Gluttonous ventures are different.
The Cayman Islands is completely British, not a colony, which means that gluttonous venture capital is fully qualified to enter the international market, and it is impossible to find fault with the bloodline.
In addition, there is a more important reason, and that is tax avoidance!
Cayman is the world's fourth largest offshore financial center and a world-renowned tax haven.
After Sheng Tianbu arrived at Gluttony Ventures, the first thing he did was to order the Gluttonous Ventures Research Department to take action.
Since it is a research department, it is natural to do data investigation work, Sheng Tianbu gave them a list of up to 100 companies, all of which were to be investigated, and then the data was summarized.
As a result, gluttonous ventures immediately became operational.
On the other side, the news of Sheng Tianbu's arrival in Newyork spread far and wide.
Soros of the Quantum Fund, Ray Dalio of the Bridgewater Fund, Paul Tudor Jones of the Tudor Fund......
Whether it is an old-school financial wizard or a new-school investment wizard, they all sent invitations, hoping to meet him.
This time, Sheng Tianbu agreed.
However, Sheng Tianbu did not see everyone, and after comprehensive consideration, he only saw four people first.
These four people are: Soros, Ray Dalio, Paul Tudor Jones, Peter Lynch.
Among them, Peter Lynch needs to be recognised.
This person was born in 1944 and is 44 years old this year.
After graduating from university, he joined Fidelity, the world's largest investment fund management company at that time!
Being able to enter the world's largest investment fund company has proven how good Peter Lynch is.
And for many people, debut is the peak, and the starting point is the end.
But Peter Lynch is not.
After many years at Fidelity, he took over the Fidelity Magellan Fund in 1977, which at the time was $20 million.
By the time he left in 1990, the size of Magellan's fund had reached $19 billion!
If you invested $100 in the Magellan Fund in 1977, it would have become $2,739 when you withdrew it in 1900, an increase of 26.39 times, with a compound annual growth rate of 29%!
In the later generations of Bridgewater Fund gods, but how much is Bridgewater's annual profit?
15%!
Time magazine once named Peter Lynch the chief manager of Wall Street, saying that it took the whole game to a new level and turned investing into an art.
In 1990, when Magellan reached $14 billion, the total number of fund holders exceeded 1 million, making it the largest fund under management in the world at that time.
That's why Peter Lynch is so highly regarded.
The Magellan Fund is a public offering, anyone can invest, and while he has received great honors and rewards, he has also earned a good reward for the holders of the Magellan Fund.
Soros, Dalio, Paul Tudor Jones, Peter Lynch, regardless of personality, are all Wall Street investment legends.
Sheng Tianbu was most interested in Buffett, but Buffett did not send an invitation to Sheng Tianbu.
In addition to these people, he had already met with Mike Corleone.
The current situation of the Corleone family is actually similar to that of the Ni family, and the gang business is still very profitable, but the times are different, and the living space of these people is getting smaller and smaller.
The difference between Mike Corleone and Ni Yongxiao is that he doesn't need Sheng Tianbu to remind him, he knows very well that as long as Corleone continues to handle the black business, it is impossible to transform.
Of all these black businesses, the damn white flour is the most disgusting!
The profits of the white noodle business are indeed huge.
But the old godfather is well aware of the dangers of the white flour business, which does not mean that it will endanger the health of the people, but will have a fatal impact on his official connections in Newyork.
The Corleone family's previous business, olive oil and everything, was pediatrics.
It is precisely because of this that the top government officials will turn a blind eye to their Corleone family, but because the other four major families want to do it, they will eventually drag their Corleone family into the water.
got those official bigwigs, and had to draw a line with the Corleone family, for fear of causing unnecessary trouble.
When Mike Corleone investigated Sheng Tianbu, he also investigated the rivers and lakes of Hong Kong Island by the way.
He found something very interesting.
There are the Ni family in Tsim Sha Tsui nearby, the Ding Feng Ding family in the distance, and even farther away, as well as those who came from the forties and fifties and successfully transformed into media tycoons.
These big fan families can still live well now, because of the transformation!
From that moment on, Mike Corleone became more and more determined to transform the Corleone family, and if he could get Sheng Tianbu's help, then his affairs would be much simpler.
Of course, if you only ask for nothing in return, even the best friends will not be able to go far.
The Corleone family's reward for Sheng Tianbu was to build a bridge from it and introduce all the official connections of their Corleone family to Sheng Tianbu, so that he could completely stand firm.
Mike Corleone's decision caused a lot of controversy within the family.
Those connections, but the old godfather has accumulated them with hard work, and now they want to give them to Sheng Tianbu for no reason, why?
Taking 10,000 steps back, even if you want to cooperate with him, it should not be this way of cooperation.
But Mike Corleone didn't care, he didn't even bother to explain, he only coldly ordered everyone to shut up!
And again and again.
If anyone dared to be disrespectful to Sheng Tianbu, then he would definitely suffer corresponding punishment.
Mike Corleone's style was very different from his father's, decisive and ruthless, so he accumulated a sense of power in just a few years.
After he spoke, all the members of the Corleone family no longer dared to chew their tongues.
——
Newyork, suburb east.
A sprawling manor house consisting of several villas, it is the home base of the Luches family, one of the five great families, where the Immortal Joe lives.
Immortal Joe, whose real name is Joe Luches, is the head of the Luches family.
Unlike that scrappy son, this guy is an out-and-out legend.
Thirty years ago, Joe Luches, like the old godfather, crossed the ocean to the lighthouse country, and then began his personal struggle, and it was then that his name of immortal Joe was born.
At the time, Joe Luches was battling with a well-known local gang.
The enemy bribed two henchmen around Lao Qiao, and was finally ambushed by 8 gunmen during the meal, everyone thought that he would definitely die, but Lao Qiao just didn't die!
Born as a boxer, he was shot three times in his body, and he forcibly killed all 8 gunmen who ambushed him.
Immortal Joe, famous in the Big Apple!
The opponent who ambushed Immortal Joe back then was frightened to reconcile with Immortal Joe, and Immortal Joe agreed, but after five years, the Luches family had grown up completely, and revenge came.
No one knew what Immortal Joe had done, all they knew was that all the men in the poor man's family had evaporated from the world overnight as if they had turned into water vapor.
Since then, everyone knows that Immortal Joe is a tough guy to mess with, and the Luches family has grown stronger.
Among the five families in the Big Apple, the Corleone family is undoubtedly the first.
In second place is the Luches family.
Of course, this was a few years ago, and now there is another Baroni family, which is also very strong, and has gradually caught up over the years, and now it is on a par with the Luches family.
Although the strength of the Luches family began to decline, no one dared to oppose the immortal Joe unless they had to.
Everyone knows how serious the consequences will be if the Luches family goes crazy.
Luches Manor, a villa in the middle.
The blinds were drawn halfway down, and only a little light shone in, making the whole study look extremely dim.
Old Joe is 55 years old this year, and he has a lot of gray hair on his sideburns, but he is burly and has a tough face, and just sitting there gives people a great sense of oppression, and this is especially true today.
At this time, his face was cold, like an enraged lion!
On the sofa not far away, sat a white man in his fifties.
His name is Luwan Cassel, a true Sicilian, and he is the military advisor of the Luches family, and it is he who has advised Old Joe for the past thirty years to make the Luches family what it is now.
Old Joe's brown eyes were spewing fire, and he said coldly: "This is the result of the investigation?" ”
Luwan Cassel was expressionless and said: "We have been investigating for several months, and at the Persian Gulf Conference, Sheng Tianbu deceived the truth, broke two fingers of Barney Jr., and let him go. ”
After that, Mike ordered Barney Jr. to be taken to the airport, but the airport didn't have any information about Barney Jr.
"I'm sure it's probably Mike who ordered Barney Jr."
"Sheng Tianbu can't get rid of it, if it weren't for him, Mike would never do this, combined with the Corleone family's current behavior to curry favor with Sheng Tianbu......"
Lao Qiao's face was extremely cold, and he gritted his teeth and said coldly: "No need to investigate, this is the truth!" Barney was killed by those two guys! ”
"Even if you kill Barney, you won't even return the corpse to us, and now you're even more in touch with Sheng Tianbu, he deceives people too much!"
"And that Sheng Tianbu, where does he think this is?"
Old Qiao's eyes burst out with fierce murderous intent, and he resolutely shouted: "This is the Big Apple!" My Luches family's turf!! ”
Lu Wang Cassel frowned slightly, and said, "Old Qiao, now Sheng Tianbu is no longer an ordinary person, we can't just move him, right?" ”
Old Joe glanced at Luwan Cassel fiercely, and said sharply: "Even the leader of the national trade union was eliminated by us back then, and he was just a lowly Oriental, why not?" ”
"He thinks he has money, and no one can touch him? Don't want to think about where his money comes from, you have no idea how many people want him dead! ”
Rwão Cassel thought about it and realized that this was the case, and it was indeed a great risk to do so, but it would not necessarily have a fatal effect on the Luches family.
Lao Qiao changed his words and said coldly: "We don't necessarily have to kill him, we just have to ask him for justice, and this is also the price he has to pay for his actions." ”
"Isn't he able to make money, just let him help us make money, isn't it also for money that Mike Corleone flatters him so much?"
"Contact Baroni and Tataglia immediately, I think, they must be also very dissatisfied, last time it was to prevent everyone from getting rich, this time, his Corleone family actually wants to eat alone."
"How can it be so easy!"
Luwan Cassel shrugged and said, "We've been contacted, and they're really happy." ”
Lao Qiao said: "Is Sheng Tianbu's itinerary confirmed?" ”
Luwan Caso said: "Victor Corleone kindly invited Sheng Tianbu, no surprise, he should go to the Helen Hotel tonight, after all, the Corleone family helped him a lot." ”
Old Qiao Senran said: "Inform Baroni and Tartaglia that we will also go over tonight to create a big surprise for them!" ”
——
Sheng Tianbu has been in the Lighthouse Country for three months.
During this time, Sheng Tianbu did a lot of things, and the research of more than 100 companies was in full swing.
Sheng Tianbu also met with legendary investors such as Soros, Dalio, and Peter Lynch.
The most important thing is that Sheng Tianbu has used this time to gain a firm foothold in the lighthouse country and is building the network of Shengtian Group step by step.
Among them, the Corleone family has contributed a lot.
But as the old saying goes, you need to be hard to strike iron, and being strong is the king, and everything else is false.
Whether it is the Corleone family or the legendary investment giants on Wall Street, they are all icing on the cake, but what really matters is his glittering signboard.
Three months has made a lot of progress, which is a good start, but it is only the beginning.
Who is the big boss behind the scenes who can really affect all aspects of the Lighthouse Nation?
Consortium!
Some of the top ten consortia of the Lighthouse Country are regional kings, and the more terrifying ones, such as the Rockefeller Consortium and the Morgan Consortium, are national and even global.
For 30 years from now until future generations, the Lighthouse Nation has been the world's only superpower.
The Lighthouse Nation has a global impact, and these consortia determine the direction of the Lighthouse Nation!
Their power began as economics, but after a few decades of rapid growth, they penetrated from the economy to politics.
The major conglomerates are intertwined with each other, weaving a huge web that eventually envelops the entire country.
Helen, the daughter of Zeus and Leda, the third king of the gods in ancient Greek mythology, his stepfather was King Tyndareus of Sparta, and she herself was the most beautiful woman on earth.
When she grew up, she eloped with Paris the Trojan prince, which eventually sparked the decade-long Trojan War.
This is where the name Helen Hotel comes from.
Located on the outskirts of Newyork, the Helen Hotel will become extremely prosperous in the future, but the surrounding area is still not fully developed.
It is precisely for this reason that the Corleone family chose to meet here.
Speaking of a hotel, Helen is actually more of a leisure and entertainment venue, with a variety of water sports to play around, as well as an indoor basketball court and an outdoor golf course.
The Corleone family has long been in charge of Mike Corleone, and Victor Corleone was semi-retired a few years ago.
At that time, he mainly served as Mike Corleone's military advisor.
In those years, the two often sang red face and white face.
That changed last year.
As Mike Corleone's position gradually solidified.
The old godfather retired completely, never bothered about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and began to enjoy his old age.
Victor Corleone was very curious about Sheng Tianbu, not to mention Mike Corleone's various compliments about Sheng Tianbu.
Now he actually wants to bet the future of the Corleone family completely on Sheng Tianbu, and he is cautious by nature, even if he recognizes his son's ability, he is a little worried.
This is a major event in the development of the family, and once a bet is placed, it will determine the fate of the entire Corleone family!
Such a major event, even if it is 10,000 times more cautious, is not too much.
——
On the huge oval rooftop, the lights are bright, and in the center is a huge round table that seats 20 people, and the table is filled with a variety of delicious dishes.
At the moment, there were only two people sitting at the round table, one was Mike Corleone, and the other was the old godfather Victor Corleone.
Tom Hagen, the military advisor, stood by the other two leaders of the family.
One of the two bosses is a bald and fat man named Clemenza, and the other is a tall man named Sal Tesio.
These two also belong to the Corleone family, but not exactly.
On the one hand, the two met the old godfather when they were young, formed an iron triangle, and made a fortune in the olive oil business.
From this point of view, both of them are the younger brothers of the old godfather.
On the other hand, after their careers, the old godfather also supported the two of them to set up their own doors.
Whether it's Clemenza or Tessio, they all have their own territory.
It's just that they have to absolutely obey the Corleone family, and they must safeguard the interests of the Corleone family in major matters and decisions.
If the story ends here, it will be the iron triangle love is stronger than gold, and they will go to the peak of life together, and the ending is very happy.
It's a pity that the reality is cruel.
After Mike Corleone came to power, he has been using the strategy of wanting to capture the old and showing weakness to the enemy, confusing the other four major families, and transferring Corleone's family business to Nevada.
At the same time, he is still cultivating his own forces and secretly accumulating strength
This strategy worked, and the other four families were indeed confused, thinking that the Corleone family would not dare to start another war, and began to press forward step by step.
Especially the Baroni family!
In the past few years, the Baroni family has caught up, and has faintly surpassed the Luches family, and is considered the new co-owner by the leaders of the other four major families, which is also the reason.
It's a pity that it is not only the other four major families who have been deceived, but also their own people.
At present, the Corleone family is already in turmoil in the eyes of many people, and the future is uncertain.
At the end of the first plot of "The Godfather", this situation is vividly interpreted.
At that time, the old godfather had just died and was about to be buried, and the other four families saw this as a great opportunity to eradicate the Corleone family.
Baroni secretly contacted Tessio to ask him to cooperate.
This guy examined the current situation and finally came to the conclusion that Mike Corleone could not defeat Baroni, and in order to protect himself, he decisively cooperated with Baroni.
He lured Mike Corleone to his territory and negotiate with the four major families, led by Baroni.
In fact, he planned to kill Mike Corleone on his own turf, but unfortunately, Mike Corleone was so skilled that he could see at a glance that Baroni had betrayed and did not go.
Not only Mike Corleone, but the old godfather has long seen through everything.
As the deadline approached, he repeatedly reminded Mike Corleone that whoever asked him to negotiate with Baroni was a traitor!
Mike Corleone will do what he wants, and openly agrees to Tessio's proposal.
At this time, both Tessio and the four major families led by Baroni were paralyzed by the weakness shown by Michael Corleone.
Mike Corleone seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, made a decisive move, killed all his opponents in one fell swoop, and disposed of Tessio by the way, successfully surviving the Corleone family through the crisis.
Unlike Tessio, Clemenza is absolutely loyal to the Corleone family, and is currently the leader of the Corleone family's killer corps.
Killer Corps, this is where the mafia is most different from ordinary gangsters.
They uphold the traditional elitism of a small number of people, and large families have only 100 to 200 people, usually only about 50 people, but they have several times more partners.
Clemenza and Tessio are both partners in the Corleone family.
In addition, the corps system was extended, and each big family had 4 to 6 killer corps.
Each regiment has 20 to 30 members, and these killers are called soldiers and are led by a commander, who is also known as a "first-class soldier."
Clemenza is a killer!
The Corleone family has a total of 260 soldiers, and a large number of top killers have emerged, such as Luca Braci and Al Nelly, all of whom are the best among the killers.
Don't look at this guy as a fat man, but he has a strong record in the past, and he can rank in the top five of the Corleone family's killer list!
At the current dinner, Tom Hagen may not be qualified to sit down, but Clemenza and Tessio, as partners of the Corleone family, are qualified in terms of status.
A few minutes later, Sheng Tianbu, accompanied by Mike Corleone, appeared on the rooftop, followed by only one person, that is, Zovi, who was a god in the K1 World Series.
As long as he is there, he can absolutely guarantee the safety of Sheng Tianbu.
Of course, if the other side uses RPGs, helicopters, and bombers, that's another story.
In the third part of "The Godfather", this level of heavy firepower really appeared.
Seeing Sheng Tianbu appear, the old godfather immediately stood up and hurriedly greeted Sheng Tianbu: "Mr. Sheng, hello, thank you for coming." ”
"Your Excellency Corleone is gracious."
Sheng Tianbu stepped forward quickly and responded with a smile.
Sheng Tianbu looked at the old man in front of him a little, and compared it with the old godfather in the movie in his memory in his previous life, it was really exactly the same.
When Sheng Tianbu was looking at the old godfather, the old godfather was also looking at Sheng Tianbu.
"Mr. Sheng, let's talk while eating."
After a brief greeting, the old godfather smiled and spoke.
Sheng Tianbu said: "Okay! ”
At this moment, a rush of footsteps came, and the leader in charge of the vigilance of tonight's banquet walked onto the roof with a solemn face.
Tom Hagen immediately greeted him and said in a deep voice, "What's the matter?" ”
The leader's name is Lili, and he belongs to the soldiers of the corps, but he is relatively old.
Lily gritted his teeth and said, "Holy! The leaders of the four major families, Baroni, Old Joe, Gambino, and Tartaglia, are all here, and they can't stop them, and they are leading people towards it! ”
As he spoke, Lili couldn't help but glance at Sheng Tianbu, but he didn't dare to look at Sheng Tianbu's eyes at all.
What that means, is already obvious.
Those four guys must have known that the Corleone family was hosting a banquet to entertain Sheng Tianbu tonight, and judging from their menacing posture, it was clear that they were coming to Sheng Tianbu!
As soon as these words came out, the old godfather's expression was as usual, but a chill appeared in his heart.
How could those guys find out so quickly? There must be an internal ghost within the Corleone family, just like a few years ago when he didn't agree to cooperate with the big drug lord Sorozo, who assassinated him.
Mike Corleone was also aware of this, his face couldn't help but sink, he looked at Sheng Tianbu, and said apologetically: "I'm sorry, those guys are chasing after them when they smell money, I'll send you away immediately!" ”
The two leaders, Clemenza and Tessio, also spoke, and the former shrugged his shoulders and said, "I should be able to delay for a few minutes if I go down to stop them." ”
Tessio's face was cold, and he said coldly, "Those damn guys, this is my Corleone family's territory!" ”
"They dare to be presumptuous too?!"
"We have been giving in all these years, but I didn't expect them to not only retreat, but also approaching step by step, now is the best opportunity, simply start an all-out war, see who wins!"
The old godfather looked at Tessio calmly, waved his hand, and said, "Sal, peace is not easy to come by, don't be so impulsive. ”
"It's just a small thing, there's no need to make a big deal about it."
Tessio frowned and opened his mouth to say something, but seeing that the old godfather was very resolute, he swallowed back the words that had already come to his lips.
Mike Corleone ignored this, but stood up and said, "Let's go, I'll send you away, and we'll talk about other things later." ”
He had good intentions, but Sheng Tianbu shook his head and said, "Newyork is the territory of your five major families, since the other party is coming at me, then come." ”
"I'd like to see what they want to do, let them come up.
Mike Corleone was stunned, he didn't expect Sheng Tianbu to react like this.
He didn't say anything more, apologized to Sheng Tianbu again, turned his head to look at Tom Hagen, and said, "Tom, you also heard Mr. Sheng's words, go and ask those people to come up." ”
Tom Hagen nodded, and quickly went downstairs to lead Immortal Joe, Baroni, Tartaglia and the others up.
The leaders of the four major families, Baroni, Immortal Joe, Tataglia, and Gambino, are in front, among which Baroni and Immortal Joe are the leaders.
"Presumably this is Mr. Sheng, look up for a long time."
Immortal Joe was the first to speak with a smile on his face.
Sheng Tianbu's reaction was beyond his expectations.
He didn't even look at the immortal Joe, so he lit a cigar as thick as a thumb and took a slow puff.
Everyone was waiting for his response, and they thought that after taking a puff of cigar, Sheng Tianbu would respond, but they waited for half a minute, and Sheng Tianbu didn't say a word.
It was cold in an instant, and the atmosphere was so embarrassing that it couldn't be done.
The smile on Immortal Joe's face was completely frozen.
Baroni was secretly rejoicing in his heart!
Sheng Tianbu?
He didn't care about Sheng Tianbu, he cared about the Corleone family.
The co-owner of the Newyork mafia, incomparably glorious.
He waited for a long time, and the greater the contradiction between the Corleone family and the other four major families, the happier he became.
Baroni hurriedly stood up to play a round, looked at the old godfather and said, "Your Excellency Corleone, we are really sorry to disturb you by our sudden visit, please accept my most sincere apologies." ”
The old godfather shook his head and said, "Since you're here, let's come and sit." ”
Baroni, Immortal Joe, and the others answered, walked quickly to the table, and sat down.
The old godfather didn't look at Sheng Tianbu, seeing Sheng Tianbu's attitude, no matter what Sheng Tianbu thought, he would not be stupid enough to be an introducer, but looked at Mike Corleone and said, "Mike, you should deal with it." ”
Mike Corleone said, "Yes, father. ”
The old godfather got up and walked towards the rooftop.
Mike Corleone's face returned to calm, and he said directly: "Gentlemen, this is just a private gathering between friends, and it doesn't involve any business, what are you going to do when you suddenly come here?" ”
Immortal Joe's eyes flashed with a cold light, and he said with a smile: "Mike, what is the purpose of our coming, you should know it." ”
Mike Corleone frowned and shook his head slightly, indicating that he really didn't know.
Baroni laughed, glanced at the old godfather not far away, shook his head, and said, "Michael, Michael, how could you not know?" ”
"It's true that this is just a gathering of friends, but your friend is not an ordinary person."
"Who is he?"
Tataglia said with a smile: "Mr. Sheng from Hong Kong Island has now become the richest man in the world." ”
Another laughed and said, "This is really not an ordinary person. ”
Baroni spread his hands and said, "Although Mr. Sheng doesn't know us, everyone knows who he is. ”
"Think about back then, when we wanted to do white business, how did His Excellency Corleone do it? He refused, refusing to share with us the official network of the Corleone family. ”
"But now, Mike, Mr. Sheng should have not said a word, and you did it."
"It's chilling to us."
"We, but brothers, alliances, aren't we?"
Mike Corleone's expression remained calm.
Baroni smiled, spread his hands, and said, "We all want peace, we all want to make money, the last time the war was caused because your Corleone family prevented everyone from making money, and now you want to eat alone." ”
Mike Corleone was expressionless and said, "Your Excellency Baroni, I think you have misunderstood, our Corleone family has never thought of eating alone in the grave. ”
"As I said earlier, this is just a private gathering between friends, and there is no business involved."
Baroni scoffed: "Business is all negotiated, and if you haven't cooperated now, it doesn't mean that you can't cooperate in the future." ”
"Mr. Sheng has a money-making mind, and we have a local advantage."
"I think we can still talk about it, what do you say, Mike?"
In the face of Baroni's aggressive posture, Mike Corleone's heart was full of murderous intentions, but his face was still silent and did not answer immediately.
At this moment, Sheng Tianbu suddenly opened his mouth and said, "There is nothing to talk about, I came to the Big Apple City to do financial investment, and I have no plans to enter the real industry for the time being." ”
Without waiting for Baroni to respond, Sheng Tianbu continued: "And I don't want to do business with you when I hear it. ”
The smile on Baroni's face gradually disappeared, and the leaders of the other three major families either sneered or sneered, all of them looked at Sheng Tianbu with a cold face.
Sheng Tianbu ignored it again, as if he didn't feel the cold and bone-chilling atmosphere of the scene at all.
He stood up and said casually: "I stayed to see what the purpose of your coming here was, and now that I know it, there is no need to stay any longer." ”
"Mike, I still have something to do, let's go first."
Mike Corleone only nodded slightly, but did not speak.
At this moment, Baroni suddenly burst out laughing, raised his hands, slapped his slap a few times in a row, and said, "It is worthy of Mr. Sheng, and his speech is confident enough." ”
Sheng Tianbu said: "So what? ”
Baroni said: "I just want to remind you of one thing, this is not the Hong Kong Olympics. ”
"If you want to gain a foothold here, you'd better change your style of behavior, be more low-key, and stop being as unscrupulous as before, otherwise there will be very serious consequences."
Sheng Tianbu glanced at Baroni lightly, turned around and wanted to leave.
Where can Immortal Joe endure it!
His eyes flashed cold, his face was cold, and he shouted: "Mr. Sheng, what do you think this place is?" Come as you want, go as you want?! ”
"Let's talk about cooperation, let's talk about something else!"
"My youngest son, Barney Luches, you should still be impressed, do you want to give me an explanation?!"
Sheng Tianbu turned his head to look at Immortal Joe, frowned slightly, and said, "Barney Luches? You're his daddy? Very well, I didn't even want to worry about it. ”
"Since you've come to the door, let's get reasonable."
"It's your son of waste wood, who actually wants to kidnap my mother, tell me, how to calculate this account?"
Immortal Qiao's face froze, slightly stunned.
It should have been him who found fault, but he didn't expect Sheng Tianbu, a bastard, to come up and hit him up, and more importantly, the other party was reasonable, and that incident was indeed done by Barney Jr.
After the astonishment, there is anger!
Immortal Joe said coldly, "You want Barney to give you an explanation?" Okay, then find Barney first, and I'll ask him to give you an explanation! ”
Sheng Tianbu's face also turned cold, and Sen Han said: "I don't want him to give me an explanation, but your Luches family to give me an explanation!" ”
"I have a proposal, since your son wants to kidnap my mother, then give me a chance, I will be his father, whether it succeeds or fails, this matter will be a story."
As soon as these words came out, Baroni, Tataria and the others all looked at Sheng Tianbu in surprise.
The same is true for Clemenza and Tesio on the Corleone side.
This guy, he's crazy, isn't he?
Dare to say this kind of thing, this is the Big Apple, he won't really think this is the Hong Kong Olympics, right?
Immortal Qiao was already angry, but when he heard Sheng Tianbu's words, he laughed angrily and said loudly: "Sheng Tianbu, it is worthy of you, it is really more arrogant than rumored." ”
"You want this opportunity? Yes, I'll give it to you! I want to know myself, where did I get the ability to do it-"
Without waiting for Immortal Qiao to pretend again, Sheng Tianbu had already interrupted coldly and said, "How much do you think your head is worth?" ”
"1 million? 10 million? 100 million? ”
"Or a billion?"
"No matter how valuable your head is, it can't be as much as a billion dollars, right? If I give you $1 billion, do you think they'll do anything to you? ”
Sheng Tianbu looked at Baroni and said, "Will you agree?" ”
In the Big Apple, how to get rid of a family leader, Sheng Tianbu gave the first answer, that is, money!
There's no one who doesn't love money.
Not to mention that these people present do not belong to the Luches family, even if they can be betrayed.
Loyalty, too, has leverage.
What's more fatal is that as the richest man in the world, Sheng Tianbu is not short of money.
Immortal Qiao's face froze instantly, and if he wanted to continue pretending to be forced, he was stuck in his throat and couldn't speak.
If Sheng Tianbu really dares to tear his face like this, it is really difficult to deal with.
Although the possibility of him doing so is very small.
Of course, Baroni can't be attracted because Sheng Tianbu said that he wants to give himself 1 billion, even if he really wants this money in his heart, it is impossible to show it.
He smiled slightly and said, "Mr. Sheng, don't be kidding-"
Sheng Tianbu smiled and asked, "What do you want me to say is true?" ”
Baroni couldn't laugh anymore, shook his head, and didn't answer again.
At this moment, a sudden change occurred!
Immortal Qiao's eyes flashed with cold light, his right hand flashed in his arms, and a silver M1911 appeared in his hand, and he raised his hand and pointed towards Sheng Tian!
Mike Corleone's face changed greatly, and he glared at Immortal Joe fiercely, and said sharply: "Stop!" ”
Others' expressions also changed dramatically.
