Chapter 119 Test

"Feredo, you have done a good job. I believe in friendship, and I am willing to show my friendship first. Now you have shown your friendship to Hoover, and it is time to continue to improve your friendship." The godfather quietly Listening carefully to Shen Long's words, he originally thought that he would be at a loss when dealing with someone like Hoover, but he didn't expect him to do so well.

"After a while, I will give Mr. Hoover another piece of information, which will contain evidence that an important staff member of His Excellency the President had contact with Elizabeth Bentley." Shen Long continued.

"Be careful, one thing I've learned all my life is to be careful, women and children can be careless, men can't, especially with a guy like Hoover; but don't worry, politics and crime are one and the same Finance is the gun, and politics is the hand that pulls the trigger." The godfather felt that he could try to let him take on a more important job.

So he called Tom Hagen and asked him to show Shen Long the plan he had sorted out some time ago. Tom Hagen was stunned for a moment, took out thick materials from his briefcase, and began to explain to Shen Long.

"The godfather received a flower basket from Johnny Fontane two days ago, and he was very happy that Johnny still knows how to be grateful; so the godfather decided to provide Johnny with greater help and push him to be the best actor in this year's awards season. The protagonist's throne, after the filming is over, we will go to persuade those members of the association who hold voting rights."

"In addition, the godfather does not want Johnny to be restricted by people like Woltz anymore. The Corleone family will provide Johnny with a loan of 20 million US dollars through the bank to support him in setting up his own film studio."

The godfather paid a lot of money. The current dollar is directly linked to gold. It is about thirty-five dollars per ounce of gold. Twenty million dollars is equivalent to 17.8 tons of gold. When Shen Long came, it was worth almost one billion dollars. .

"You make preparations in New York first, and when Johnny's filming is over, you will go to Hollywood to manage this matter." The godfather pointed at Shen Long with a cigar in his hand and said, "Fredo, this matter is very important. Family is important."

"Understood." Shen Long nodded. This is not just a matter of the godfather being optimistic about the development of the film market and trying to make a fortune. More importantly, the money that the Corleone family got from the black market, casinos, smuggling and other channels can be completely wiped out through the film. Whitewashing and preparing for family transformation.

In the last two works of "The Godfather", the new godfather Mike has been committed to whitewashing the gang mark of the Corleone family. Obviously this is not his decision alone. The old godfather has already begun to consider these things at this time. It was a last resort, and now that the Corleone family has got enough money, it's time to step into high society.

Entering Hollywood is a very good choice. In early Hollywood, like Hong Kong in the future, it is a very common and effective means for gangsters to launder money through filming, and the Corleone family controls many guilds in Hollywood, where they have a wide range of guilds. Even the former king of Hollywood, the general manager of MGM Mayer, did not dare to offend them easily.

"But what about Sollozzo? Obviously he is not a guy who will give up easily." What if he leaves New York for Hollywood, and the Corleone family is attacked by the enemy like in the original book?

"Luka has already contacted Bruno Tattaglia. He is the son of Philip Tattaglia and holds an important position in the family. If Sollozzo makes any moves, I will know." The stronghold of the Lyon family, and the fact that there are undercover agents ambushing inside the enemy, the godfather is very relieved.

But the enemies are not just Sollozzo and the Tattaglia family. Basini is the real behind-the-scenes manipulator. In the movie, after Mike killed Sollozzo, when the five major families held a meeting, the godfather noticed it through Basini's speech. At this point, it's not clear to him who his real enemy is now.

"All right,

I'll get this done. "Shen Long thought about it and still didn't say anything. At present, Basini has not shown his fox tail. It is useless to say more, and he can only play by ear.

Moreover, matters in Hollywood are equally important. This is a test for the godfather. Santino is obviously not suitable for inheriting the family business. If he performs well this time, he will greatly increase his weight in the godfather's heart.

For the next period of time, while learning about the internal affairs of the family, Shen Long studied the materials of Hollywood in this era. Bert Nelly and Rocco Rabon returned to New York from their vacation to report to him.

"How are you playing?" Shen Long received them in his own house.

"It's great." It was the first time for these three guys to experience such a luxurious enjoyment. When they mentioned this, they all had excited expressions on their faces, but they could still control their emotions and didn't talk too much nonsense.

Very good, this shows that the three of them will not be easily bought by money like Paulie Gato, Shen Long secretly analyzed their reactions, "There will be more opportunities like this in the future, now, we should consider the issue of work. "

Hearing this, the three subconsciously straightened their backs, quietly waiting for Shen Long's order.

"The godfather gave me a mission. I may be in Hollywood for a while, but I still can't let go of the New York matter. You must know that our negotiation with Sollozzo has broken down." Shen Long had already thought about how to arrange them "Rocco, you stay in New York, help me keep an eye on the situation in New York, and report to me at any time."

Rocco Labone has the most delicate mind and is also the best at dealing with people. It would be a good idea to entrust this job to him.

"Don't worry, I promise that there will be no omissions." Rocco Labone said calmly.

"Albert, I will give you a sum of money. You use the money to buy drinks with your old colleagues in the police station and establish a good relationship with them. If it is found that someone from the Sollozzo or Tataglia family colluded with the police and tried to The family is disadvantaged, so don't act without authorization, you must report to me first." Albert Neri is a good policeman and is well respected within the police station.

Albert didn't like to talk, so he just nodded slightly.

"Wei Li, you go to Hollywood with me and protect my safety." After all, he is the person who accused Mike in court, and Shen Long wants to keep him by his side to observe carefully.

After arranging three subordinates, a few days later, news came that Johnny's film had finished, and Shen Long rushed to Hollywood by plane.
