Chapter 159: Mike's Future

Seeing Shen Long's operation, Tom Hagen felt rather complicated. If it was Godfather or Santino, it would be a different operation to get Mo Green's shares. The old godfather might be more tactful. , but will still use gangster methods, and Santino is afraid that he will directly lead someone to kill Mo Green.

Shen Long didn't do anything, just said a few words, and lured Mo-Green's accomplices to kill him, and got what he wanted without getting a little blood on his hands. It's not like a gangster, but rather like those Wall Street financial bosses.

Perhaps the Corleone family will usher in a huge change, and this change is beneficial to Tom. He knows that his strengths are different from the old military adviser of the Corleone family, Abbandandu, who is better at solving gangsters As a lawyer, he is more accustomed to using legal means to solve problems. Under Shen Long, he has more room to play.

"Fredo, where are you going? The casino's problem must be solved as soon as possible. It's not good to lose hundreds of thousands every month." Tom asked, he was unable to solve the casino's loss problem.

"I heard that Mike is about to graduate with enough credits. I'm going to see him at Dartmouth University. As for the hotel, you don't have to worry. I've already figured out a solution. You can hold on for another two months. If we just got It doesn’t sound good to hear the news.” This will make other people think that Mo Green’s death is his own doing, although he did die because of himself, but what is the truth, what is the rumor? How come things are not quite the same.

"During this time, please help me keep an eye on these two people and find out their whereabouts. When I come back next time, we will start to do this." Shen Long reported two names, and it is no big deal to lose two more months Yes, as long as it operates according to its own plan, the Flamingo Hotel will turn a profit in a short time.

After leaving Las Vegas, Shen Long took Albert Neri to the small town of Hanover in New Hampshire, where Dartmouth University is located.

"Hi, Fredo, I watched "Cinema Paradiso" and it was great! Kay liked it too." The two brothers hadn't seen each other for a long time, and Mike sent a warm hug and brought Shen Long with Kay. At the cafe, Albert stayed in the car.

"Johnny did a good job. He went back to New York and watched this movie with the old man. The old man was also very happy." After its release, the box office has been doing very well, and the first film of the Corleone family film studio has achieved profitability.

Because this movie uses many shooting techniques and narrative techniques of later generations, the Oscar judges also spoke highly of this movie. Judging from the current rumors, "Paradise Cinema" won the best film and best director , Best Screenplay, Best Cinematography and other awards have a high probability. Shen Long is hurrying up and running. It is basically a foregone conclusion that this movie will become a popular and popular movie.

"I heard from Johnny that you wrote the script of this movie, but unfortunately you can't get the statuette!" After all, Mike is a member of the family and knows a lot of news.

"I'm not interested in these things. The company will shoot a new movie in a while. This movie is equally good. You can go and watch it with Kai." The preparations for "Roman Holiday" are coming to an end. Time to start shooting.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Kai felt that the two of them should have something to say alone, so he excused himself to rush back for his thesis. After he left, Shen Long asked, "Mike, I heard you will be graduating soon? Are you sure?" Haven't thought about what to do in the future?"

"I've already got internship opportunities from several companies, but I'm still hesitating." Mike looked at Shen Long with some doubts in his heart, "Fredo, don't you want me to go home and help?"

"No, no, Sonny and I have no choice but to do this. After all, we come from this kind of family, and you are different. You have never been involved in any family affairs, have a clean resume, and are a World War II hero. You should be implicated by the family, so you can do what you want." Shen Long shook his head again and again, he still wanted to complete the task, how could he let Mike go home.

"And during this period of time, I have been busy adjusting the family's business structure. In the future, the Corleone family will gradually reduce business in other fields, and transfer the family's main energy to Las Vegas and Hollywood." From now to the United States, large-scale There are still more than 20 years to crack down on gangsters, which is completely enough to cleanse the family.

"The reason I came to you this time is because I heard a piece of news that I think might be useful to you." Shen Long said in a low voice, "Didn't you say before that you considered going into politics?"

"It's just an idea, but I haven't found a suitable channel yet." Mike hesitated. He knew that his family was involved with some political figures, but he didn't want to use these resources.

"That's good. I happen to have a suitable opportunity here. It has nothing to do with the family. You can decide whether to take advantage of this opportunity after listening to it." Shen Long said, "I heard that General Eisenhower, the chief of staff of the Army, is considering After retiring from the military and entering politics, he plans to go to Columbia University to serve as the president for a while before running for the next presidential election."

The next presidential election will be held next year, and Truman will be re-elected successfully. After Truman, it will be Eisenhower's turn to take office. If he can join his campaign team, it will be of great benefit to Mike's political future.

"Where did you get the news? Is it reliable?" Mike quickly calculated whether the news would be useful to him.

"The channel cannot be disclosed for the time being, but I guarantee it is very reliable." I can't say that I saw it in a history book, can I? "This year, a magazine conducted a poll, and the results showed that as long as Eisenhower was willing, both parties were willing to nominate him as a presidential candidate; Rockefeller, Morgan, DuPont, and Mellon and other big consortiums all took a fancy to him, because he published after the war. The policy of expanding arms, preparing for war, and expanding outward is in the interests of large consortiums."

"You know, in the United States, these big conglomerates are the real rulers of this country, which means that Eisenhower has a high probability of winning the election; if you are interested, you can go to Columbia University to seek a position where you can often contact the president , and then get to know Eisenhower." Mike also served in the army, and Eisenhower must have a lot in common.
