All Heavens Film and Television: Starting from Caring for the Widow of a Comrade-in-arms

The name did not follow Corleone, but changed to Sicily.This is to give people an illusion that when they hear the name, they will think that this company is an industry of the official government of Sicily, that is, a state-owned enterprise.

In this way, the influence of the Corleone family in Sicily was weakened, and naturally there was no need to worry about the excessive attention of the Roman authority.

Because Italy is now a republic and will split into many factions in the future, Russell dare not say that he can control the whole of Italy, so it is necessary to do so.

Nivino, Nostin, Olijato, Angkers and others will all become shareholders of the group's subsidiaries, responsible for tobacco and alcohol, oil shipping, construction and real estate, and trade respectively.

The structure of this group is pyramid-shaped. The group at the top is 100% owned by the Corleone family, and there are layers of subsidiaries below...

As for the U.S. Kaqi Mansa clothing, Kaqi Film Brokerage Company, fashion magazines, and Caesars Palace Hotel Casino, they are not included in the Sicilian Group.

The reason is that the national conditions are different, and the ways to deal with it are also different.

Integration requires a process, and it cannot be completed overnight. During this period, Olijato and Nivino agreed on the minimum salary for Sicilians, and finally reported the results to Russell.

When he saw the minimum monthly salary of 48 US dollars, he nodded.

It's not a black heart, but 48 US dollars is in line with Italy's national conditions. In the ten years after the war, the Italian people lived in dire straits.Although some people live comfortably, most people still don't have enough food and clothing.

Sicilians, on the other hand, can support their families with a monthly salary of 48 US dollars.

And I am grateful to the Corleone family. If he hadn't set the price, maybe how many people would have starved to death.

But the $48 also killed many businesses and companies, such as department stores, catering... and other industries.

They can't afford so much monthly salary, or they are unwilling to pay, so they can only close the shop and leave.

Then Russell asked Nivino and others to quickly acquire these bankrupt companies and carry out reforms on the basis of the original ones. First of all, useless positions were cut, such as the doorman welcoming guests...

Then introduce these unemployed people to the trade union, and the trade union will help them find suitable jobs.

In April 1953, the Sicilian Group was completely constructed, covering a wide range of industries that can be seen everywhere.

It covers [-]% of Sicily's share, among which oil and tobacco are the exclusive monopoly of Sicilian Group, and the remaining department store retail, clothing, and catering are blooming everywhere.

In the past two years alone, Russell has earned 18 billion US dollars, and the turnover of the group's accounts is as high as [-] billion!

Kaqi Mansha costumes in the United States earned less than 2 million yuan. Kaqi Films invested in six movies and lost four of them... Fashion magazines popularized several beauties and earned tens of millions of dollars, which can be regarded as making up for the losses of Kaqi Films. .

To be honest, it is difficult to make money in Hollywood at this time, and it is even more difficult to invest in movies to make money.

That's why Russell locked his eyes on theater chains. Regardless of the United States or Sicily, theater chains must blossom in major cities. Even if they don't make money in recent years, they will inevitably share in the global entertainment industry in the future.

But this thing requires a lot of investment, first of all, land, buildings, seats, screens, etc...

Russell has not hesitated to invest 30 billion US dollars in global theater projects, which are now in charge of Lofix and Angkers.

XNUM X Year X NUM X Month.

Russell was to give communion to the children, and hundreds of Sicilians of esteem were invited to the ceremony.

Chris, who was re-elected for two terms, as well as Hagen, Harvey, and Lieutenant General Rand, the Sicilian supreme commander, all came.

The children were the protagonists at the beginning of the ceremony, and Russell became the protagonist after the ceremony.

Those who could be present were all related to him. These people toasted one by one and chatted with each other, and soon it was dusk and sunset.

After the people left, Chris, Hagen, Harvey, Rand... etc., the most senior regulars in Sicily stayed.

Russell gave them a meeting, the purpose of which was to get them on board once and for all.

"I plan to distribute [-]% of the annual profits of the Sicilian Group to everyone who is doing it. Do you have any opinions?"

Everyone was stunned when they heard the words, and looked at each other dully.

"Mr. Corleone, you want to give us some money?"

Russell said with a smile: "This is not a bribe, but to support your work. You can treat this part of the money as tax, and then transfer it to your year-end bonus."

Hagen touched his bald head and said, "Godfather, I want to make a suggestion."

"Hagen, tell me."

"Godfather, we can have what we are today, all because of your careful cultivation and care. Without you, we must be farming at home right now..."

Russell waved his hand: "I don't want to hear compliments."

Hagen didn't blush, but went on to say: "Since you said it is our year-end bonus, then our positions are different, and the bonus is also different?"

Rand interjected, "What does Uncle Hagen mean to say that the price is based on the position?"

"Yes."

Russell looked up and looked around, and asked, "What's your opinion?"

Harvey shook his head: "Godfather, we have no objection."

"Well, let Hagen handle this matter. I want the proportion of each position. Of course, Rand's military expenditure is fixed, and you divide it among the assistants yourself."

"Okay, thank you, Godfather."

Everyone present has no objection, because this is the godfather's money, give them [-]% of the profit, so let's have fun secretly, how dare you have any opinions.

Money cannot recognize people, only positions.

Because the staff has changed, but the position hasn't... Even people who parachuted from Rome, Italy, are they confused when they see so many bonuses?

stupid!It's just too much.

And the reason for the bonus is justifiable. Rome can't stop it from funding the Sicilian government to rebuild its homeland.

Corrosion starts from the inside. If they are not corrupted, the Sicilian Group will inevitably be attacked by state-owned enterprises or financial groups in the future, so we must guard against it.

mid-December.

Russell gets a call from Vito.

He still hasn't found the murderer behind Sonny's death, but he said that the family business has been handed over to Mike.

In the end Mike chose to inherit the family business...

"I feel deeply that time is running out, Russell Corleone. Can we meet, I go to Sicily or you come to New York."

Russell frowned and said, "You want Mike to see me?"

"Yes, I want you to meet and make your relationship stronger."

"Uncle Vito, our relationship is very good."

"That's us...not you and Mike. Russell, I know you look down on him, and he envies you, but I don't want you to misunderstand that there is indeed a ghost in my family. We can only talk about it face to face .”

Russell nodded: "I will go to New York."

"Thank you."

Chapter 167 Corleone's promise, through the network

The purpose of Vito Corleone's special call is to intercede for the family headed by Mike and reconcile with the authentic Sicilian mafia.

His tone of voice when talking to Russell was close to begging, so Russell must show some face.

Although both parties have the surname Corleone, they are not from the same family after all, and there is no solid connection between the two.

The point of their conflict was the "Five Families War in New York". At that time, some things were very unpleasant, and the members of the Vito family had great opinions on Russell, so Sonny broke off contact with Russell.

The reason is that Philisto sent someone to Luca in Florida to pass the news of Vito's assassination, forcing Luca to rush back to New York overnight, and killed Bruno, the son of the Tattaglia family, and a man at the side door of the nightclub. A true guest in control of the real power.

This caught Vito's subordinates by surprise, and the Tattaglia family attacked the door before Clemenza and Tessio prepared to organize a counterattack, causing heavy losses to their men.

Secondly, Russell occupied the only two formal businesses owned by the Vito family, a fashion center and a securities company.

After Sonny was killed, Russell went to New York alone, accompanied by Deputy Police Chief John, telling Vito and his people.Don't get me wrong, Sonny's death has nothing to do with me, it's really helpless to bring the deputy director here, I'm afraid!

Then Russell uncovered the 'Kachimansa' imitation incident in Brooklyn, which shamed the members of the Vito family, because this black factory was built under their noses. How dare Russell believe it?

These are the points of contradiction between the two sides.

After Russell returned to Sicily, he drastically rectified the company and the market, and ordered the blockade of entry thresholds by sea, land and air.

Sicily is the birthplace of the global mafia. Mafia from all countries in the world have relatives and friends in Sicily.

Russell's move directly cut off the possibility of them returning to their hometowns to visit relatives, take refuge, and provide for the elderly, which is tantamount to putting a layer of isolation net on Sicily.

It pinched the lifeblood of the Italian Mafia in various countries, preventing them from entering and leaving Sicily at will.

For example, if a person commits a crime abroad, he could have gone back to Sicily to take refuge and return after the limelight has passed.

But not now, you have to pay a price if you want to come back, otherwise Sicily will not accept people who have committed crimes.

It is precisely this point that Vito values, and he wants Mike and Russell to get closer, because the two actually don't hate each other, they just suspect and mistrust each other.

If he makes good friends with Russell, no matter what he does in the United States in the future, Mike will have a retreat.

This is something a father thinks about for his children.

That night, Russell and Marlena talked about going back to New York. Marlena thought it would take a long time for him to come back, so she lingered with him all night until three o'clock in the morning.

"Honey, I will miss you."

Russell lay flat on the bed and said, "I'll be back in half a month."

"What? I... I thought I wasn't coming back."

"How is it possible, my wife and children are in Sicily, what are you thinking?"

Marlena leaned on his chest, pouted and said, "I already have wrinkles on my face, and my body is not as attractive as before..."

"Marlena, I want to criticize you. We are all getting old with time, this is a normal thing. How can you think so complicated? I didn't give you enough sense of security."

"No, honey, I love you very much, but I can't imagine how I should live when you leave me."

"Your words seem to say, I'm going to be buried in New York..."

"Oh! No, dear, I slipped... I never thought so."

Russell put his arms around her shoulders and said, "I know, I'm joking with you. I promise you, after the children grow up and can handle company affairs, we will find a valley in Sicily to live in seclusion, and then travel around the mountains and rivers every day, Andu old age."

When Russell came to Sicily in 1941, he was 25 years old and Marina was 27 years old.

Now Malena does have wrinkles on her face, even if she uses high-end skin care products, it won't help, because she is 39 years old, and she is no longer in the prime of life when she was 27 years old.

Russell is also 37 years old, and their child Vittorio was born on September 1943, 9, the day of Italy's surrender, and is about to celebrate his 8th birthday.

Kaqi and Mansha were born in February 1945 and are now over 2 years old.

The children are just at the age of being mischievous and mischievous, and Marlena is often angry and sad because of this. Seeing her secretly wiping tears, Russell is not in a good mood, and it is common for him to grab a wooden stick to teach.

Some children are very sensible without education, because they are too inferior and sensitive.

Vido, Kaci, and Mansa, who were spoiled and pampered since childhood, are different from their family conditions. The whole Sicily belongs to their family, and they are not bullied wherever they go. Naturally, they are far more courageous than ordinary children.

So it’s impossible not to use sticks. If you don’t educate them when you are young, you will become a prodigal son who causes trouble when you grow up. How can you keep the foundation laid by their father?

Before leaving, Russell deliberately called the children to the study room, and took two bamboo strips from the wall.

"If I come back and see your mother sad, I will use these two bamboo sticks to smash your ass, understand?"

Wei Duo stood at attention and said, "Dad, don't worry. I will restrain my younger brothers and sisters, and I won't let them make my mother angry."

Kaqi and Mansha looked at each other and pouted speechlessly.

"Especially you Vido, if your siblings make your mother angry, I'll slap your ass when I come back."

"Why, Dad...you shouldn't be in a row, it's corrupt and irrational."

Talk to your dad about corruption?

Your father has corrupted so many good people in his life that it is impossible to count!

The only person accompanying him to New York was Nelly. Ever since Philisto stayed in Bell City, Nelly became the new driver of the Godfather, and his internal rights were equal to those of Niveno, Olijato and others.

But the qualifications are worse, because the years of following the godfather are too short.

But Nelly is a guest wherever he goes, because he is the godfather's sword!

Since the reform of the Sicilian Group, all those who disobeyed the management appointment have been buried in the Mediterranean Sea, and this was all done by Neri alone. Olijato and Niveno had dinner with him a while ago and called him the "One-Man Legion".

When they arrived in New York, they were picked up by Felix, Roy and others.

These people are all high-level executives who stayed in the New York management company and were deeply trusted by Russell.

Rested overnight at the Peninsula Manor, and arrived at Vito's garden villa at [-] am the next day.

Vito stepped forward and hugged Russell warmly, chatting about the photos of Sicily that Russell sent him, feeling that Sicily has changed a lot and is developing towards a metropolis like New York.

And the two members of the Corleone family stood in place, staring wide-eyed, without any communication.
