Chapter 110: Hollywood's Help

When he came to the yard, the well-dressed and sanctimonious Basini walked towards the old godfather and embraced him affectionately. He was the patriarch of the Basini family, one of the five major families in New York. Now he was secretly supporting the Tattaglia family and the other branch of the five major families. Sollozzo, who came from Europe, wanted to get involved in the drug trade.

In the middle of the courtyard, the plump Clemanza is happily dancing tarantella with the women. This is a folk dance in southern Italy, which originated from the city of Taranto. It is said that in the middle of the 14th century, it was in southern Italy. A strange infectious disease appeared around the city of Taranto, which was caused by the bite of a poisonous spider named Tarantula. The injured had to dance crazily until the whole body was sweating profusely to expel toxins from the body. Taran Hence the name Terra dance.

Although this guy is so fat, his dancing posture is extremely flexible, and his skills are quite vigorous, and he can still easily kill the enemy; after dancing for a while, Clemansha got a little thirsty, and called out to his little brother Paulie Gato to give him wine.

Paulie Gatto returned to the table after delivering the wine, looked at the gift money that the youngest daughter of the Corleone family, Connie, received today without blinking, secretly guessing the amount of the gift money, 20,000 US dollars? Or thirty thousand dollars?

He is a newcomer who emerged recently in the family. After passing several tests, he became the driver of the old godfather. If he continues to develop like this, he is likely to become an important role in the family in the future. Unfortunately, he seems to feel that this is too slow. The current income is completely unable to meet my needs.

The tall, stooped Tessio danced with a nine-year-old girl, not minding that the little girl's shoes often stepped on his feet.

Outside the door, a small black car was parked beside the boulevard, and two people got out of the car, undisguisedly copying the license plate numbers of the visitors, the eldest son Santino rushed over aggressively, the driver did not back down, and snapped loudly After showing his ID, Santino flinched when he saw the word FBI, and spat viciously.

Shen Long shook his head, this remark was unnecessary, it seemed that Santino still couldn't control his anger; he walked over with a smile, leaned on the car window and said to the driver, "I respect your work very much, and I understand your work very well. We are not opponents, are we? The weather is so hot, let me send some drinks to you!"

After speaking, he waved and asked the waiter to bring a few glasses of Coke with ice cubes. The driver and other staff were quite surprised. The godfather in the distance nodded slightly when he saw it. The targets were lawmakers, judges and government officials who were likely to attend the wedding, but most of these people only sent gifts and letters of apology, and did not attend in person.

After returning, Shen Long went directly to the table in the corner and sat down, "Hey, Mike, why don't you introduce this beautiful lady to me?"

"Oh, Fredo, my dear brother!" Mike got up and hugged Shen Long. When he left home to join the army, only this brother in the family expressed his blessing to him, "Kai, this is my second brother Fredo -Corleone, Fredo, this is my girlfriend Kay Adams, a classmate of mine at Dartmouth."

"Hi, Kai; if it wasn't for this wedding, I don't know when I'd be able to see Mike." Shen Long casually mentioned something. He knew that Kai had just heard Mike talk about the situation of the Corleone family. Afraid, that's why I said that, actually implying that Kai, Mike was not involved in these businesses.

Mike also told Kai just now that the Corleone family is the Corleone family, and he is himself. Hearing what Shen Long said, Kai's expression was obviously relaxed, and Mike nodded gratefully. He understood Shen Long's words, "Fredo, you know, studying at Dartmouth is not easy."

"Wow, who would have thought that my younger brother could be admitted to an Ivy League college by himself? Maybe you can become a senator in the future!" Shen Long stretched out his arms exaggeratedly. At this time, Mike had no idea of ​​participating in family affairs at all.

He wholeheartedly wanted to marry Kai and leave the family to pursue his favorite career.

Looking back at the place where the godfather stood before, he and Tom had disappeared, maybe they went back to the house to discuss the negotiation with Sollozzo, who planted poppies in Turkey and shipped them back to Sicily to be processed into finished products. The channel has been opened, but in New York, he still needs the help of the godfather.

It is inevitable to be caught by the police in this business. If someone is sentenced to 10 or 20 years in prison, it is difficult for him not to tell Sollozzo. If he can keep his mouth shut for two or three years, Sollozzo will Provide generous rewards for his loyalty; and to do this, he must borrow the help of the political and legal circles. Among the five major families in New York, only the Corleone family has this strength, but the godfather obviously will not agree to do so.

The godfather knows those politicians very well. They can tolerate themselves in some gray industries, such as gambling and prostitution, but they are absolutely unwilling to have anything to do with drugs.

In addition to chatting, the Godfather also hosted another guest, Andoni Copra, the son of his old colleague who used to work at the train station, who wanted to open a pastry shop, but was short of $500.

The godfather fumbled in his pocket and took out four hundred dollars. He made a face and said to Tom Hagen, "Tom, lend me one hundred dollars. I will go to the bank on Monday to get it and pay you back."

Anthony repeatedly stated that 400 is enough, but the godfather patted him on the shoulder, and said apologetically, "This expensive wedding has put me in a tight spot." Then he took the money handed over by Tom and paid To Anthony.

If Shen Long sees it, he should feel that the godfather is thoughtful. The old man often said that if a person is generous, he should express his generosity with emotion; it's not that Anthony doesn't know that the old man is a millionaire. But what millionaire would put up with the slightest inconvenience for a poor friend? This move can get more gratitude than just taking out five hundred yuan.

Santino hooked up Connie's bridesmaid, Lucy Mancini, and went upstairs to fool around, when suddenly there was a commotion at the door, the girls screamed and called Johnny's name, and even the bride Connie No exception.

Kay was the same, she looked at the handsome man who came in from the door in surprise, "Mike, you never told me that your family knew Johnny Fontane!"

Johnny Fontane is the godson of the old godfather. He is a Hollywood singer and movie star. He came to New York today. Apart from attending the wedding, he also sought help from the godfather.
