Back to 1995

Chapter 621
The American Italian Foundation, which represents 400 million Italians in America, was established in the 70s. This foundation basically has the same function as the American Jewish Committee.

They are all connected with people of their own ethnicity. The Italian Foundation also has great powers. It also has connections with old Europe. Relying on past relationships, the American Italian Foundation is also closely related to the Truck Drivers Association, which means In the hands of the Italian Foundation, there are huge votes!

Of course, no matter how influential the Italian American Foundation is, the people who hold the power of this foundation are still in the hands of a small group of people in the Italian Foundation Committee. Most of the ordinary Italians basically occupy a quota.

Nominally, when the Italians in America encounter troubles, disasters or even lack of food, the Italian Foundation will help them. The Italian Foundation also distributes various supplies from time to time, but more than 2000 million people can get help. Everyone knows that it must be a small number of people, but the emergence of the Italian Foundation has always given the Italians living in America a little more hope.

Like the Bruno family, they also belonged to this foundation in name before, but in fact they have never had any contact with anyone from the Italian foundation.

After the Bruno family started to gain momentum, people from the Italian Foundation immediately came to the door. Now the Bruno family has also become one of the foundation's fundraisers. Of course, the money is not given for nothing.

When the Bruno family is in trouble, the Italian Foundation will stand up and tell those people that the more than 2000 million Italians in America support the Bruno family!

It’s hard to say how much this support is, but at least it looks really bluffing. As long as a congressman with no brain cramps, generally he will not openly oppose the Italian Foundation, and the Donkey Party and the Elephant Party will not protect it.

"It's a pity that I couldn't meet Song. Before I came, the president of the Italian Foundation specifically told me to meet Song!"

Holding a cup of coffee, Viola said something regretful to Gleick. He is one of the directors of the ten-member committee of the Italian Foundation. It is also rumored that he may become the new president of the Italian Foundation in the future. Powerful figure in the Italian Foundation.

As the chairman of the Italian Foundation, the power brought to Viola is not only within the foundation. As long as he reveals his identity, the Italians in America, whether they are willing or not, will sell him more or less. A bit of face, including those mafia who are getting sadder every day, and don't want to be expelled from the ethnic group...

Greg said to Viola, "You should have heard, Song, there have been a lot of things recently!"

"I know!"

Viola said with a smile, but her eyes were calm, and she looked around the club. He was able to come here today, naturally he received some rumors, otherwise how could he come so coincidentally.

But today I couldn't see Song Yang, and Viola was not disappointed. Song Yang was testing the Italian Foundation, and the Italian Foundation was also investigating Song Yang.

In America, if an upstart Song Yang appeared in any ethnic group, it would have been boasted to the sky, but in Song Yang, it was a bit special.

Italians, Chinese, Irish, and Germans are all ready to move, and they all claim that Song Yang is his own, but they dare not go too far, otherwise Song Yang will change his words one day, and they will be the ones who should be embarrassed.

I chose to come today because the Italian Foundation couldn’t hold back anymore. Even on the Italian peninsula, some people started to get angry. Seeing Song Yang’s value soaring, and ICQ’s road show in full swing, there was Song Yang The rumors about Bill Gates' worth challenged, whether true or not, it was enough to explain Song Yang's worth.

The Italian Foundation needs to win over Song Yang and tell those Italians in America that the American Italian Foundation is in good shape right now, and the top ten richest people in America are beginning to appear? !

"I'm here this time," Viola took out an invitation card, "on behalf of the Italian-American Foundation, I officially extended an invitation to Bruno Song to participate in the No.20 [-]rd Annual Awards Ceremony of the Italian-American Foundation. This is Italians in America, the biggest gathering every year, will present awards to Italians who have performed well in America, and many accomplished Italians in America will participate!"

To put it bluntly, it is to invite Italian celebrities to participate, so that Italians from all walks of life in America can get to know each other and increase their contacts.

Viola personally sent an invitation to Song Yang, which basically means that this year's Italian Foundation awards ceremony, as long as Song Yang is present, he can win the award. These are unspoken rules.

Greg nodded, "Don't worry, Song, I think Song will participate!"

Viola went out in person, and moved out the boss of the Meaning Foundation, so Song Yang must be familiar with the past.

After Viola and Greg talked a few words to praise Song Yang, they changed the subject and said with a sudden smile, "I heard the news from the Italian peninsula, the peninsula, I hope the Bruno family can go back, Bruno The family has not returned to the peninsula for many years!"

Greg just smiled when he heard this. To be honest, the Bruno family, except for the old Bruno and his wife, who had some thoughts about the Italian Peninsula, the rest of the people, including Greg, had a fart. If you live well there, where will you run out?

Greg is already familiar with all kinds of routines. He said he welcomes the Bruno family back. Where is the person who welcomes them? I'm afraid they are welcome.

But Greg won't say it to death. To put it bluntly, it is a name. Sometimes a name is worthless, and no one picks it up when it is thrown on the ground. But sometimes, it has a lot of uses. If the name is rotten , then you will be accused by thousands of people, and all kinds of ghosts and snakes will ride on their heads.

Even if he doesn't have much feeling for Italy, Greck will not make it clear that he has nothing to do with it. If necessary, he can throw some money there, or invest in a football team or something, just to show his attitude. That's enough, keep a layer of relationship, no way, can have an extra way out!
"Greck, many people in the American Italian Foundation, including me, are very supportive of the Bruno family..."

Viola suddenly said some strange words, which made Greg a little puzzled, but the next words made Greg a little stunned.

Viola didn't care whether Greg could understand or not, he came here today to show his attitude, no matter whether it was useful or not, he wanted to get help from the Bruno family first.

"Wait until next year, the Italian Foundation will hold an internal election. This time, the number of members of the ten committees of the Italian Foundation will be re-determined. In addition, the new chairman of the Italian Foundation will also be established.

This time is different from the past. The old president is not feeling well and has undergone many operations. This time, he will probably choose to go to a nursing home to recuperate. In addition, there are many people on the committee who may retire. "

Viola's voice was not loud, but in Gleick's heart, it surprised him, "I hope to stand with the Bruno family. If my position changes, I will nominate a member of the Bruno family as the Italian Board member of the Descendants Foundation!"

Greg was really surprised this time. No matter how bad the Italian Foundation is, it is also a representative of more than 2000 million Italians in America. Joining the Italian Committee is almost equivalent to a wealthy family. The number of connections and connections that can be used will also increase. A lot, for an Italian, this may be difficult to refuse.

“The coffee is good, I hope to have a chance to drink it next time!”

Viola put down the coffee, picked up the briefcase, put on a pair of wire-rimmed glasses, got up and walked outside the club.

After Viola left, Song Yang walked towards Greg in his nightgown.

"What does Viola want?" Greg couldn't help but said to Song Yang.

Song Yang laughed, "If there is nothing to be courteous about, what else can he do? If he lets members of the Bruno family join the Italian Fund Committee, then what he wants to get will be more than what he promised to the Bruno family!"

Greg and Song Yang looked at each other, he already had some answers in his mind, and now he is certain.
