Chapter 299

The Tang of the Strachey family is named Anthony Strachey. He not only controls the gambling industry in New Jersey and the shipping industry in Manhattan, but also the manpower and votes that the industry influences. Naturally, he is also linked to politics. This is development. the only way.It is stupid to have money and influence without corresponding means of implementation.Regardless of whether it is China or the West, politics must be involved to a certain extent, and it is impossible not to participate.Therefore, the Strachey family has been in business for many years and is very close to some members of the donkey party.

They are also very good at playing, and shipping will inevitably involve logistics and land transportation, so they have a large-scale freight truck team.And the protective umbrella they wove can allow their trucks to travel on the road with overloads, and will not be stopped by overweight inspectors on the road and fined a lot of money.

The road design itself has an upper limit and life span, and those roads that they often take when overloading will definitely be crushed.And they also have a road and bridge construction company, which signs a contract with the state government to build roads and make money again.Perfect closed return, absolutely good business, lying down to make money, no risk, which is enviable.

However, their strength, except for the small gangs and gangsters who are struggling to survive in many cracks, is the weakest branch in the big family.But Anthony doesn't think that anyway, everyone's hooligan strength is basically on the same level, the territory is clearly divided, and the business is slightly crossed, but it is more of a cooperation.To say that the Corleone family is the strongest, only political power is the strongest, of course this is the key, and it is what they want but can't get.

They have plenty of money, and they don't accept flowers if they want to give them to others. This is the ability of old Corleone, only old Corleone can make it. He is convinced, but he is not afraid.This confidence comes from his cooperation with several other families, recognizing the leadership of the Corleone family, but they have also formed an alliance of interests to prevent the Corleone family from doing whatever they want.In general, there is me in you, and you in me, a mess.

Thinking of his rogue empire growing and his money and status growing, Anthony sat on the luxurious sofa in the study in the suburban ranch, and sat down with satisfaction. Feeling the wine in his mouth go down the throat and esophagus all the way to his stomach, it was refreshing. He lay comfortably on the sofa with his eyes closed, feeling the aftertaste of the wine.

Just then, a 'bang' gunshot broke the tranquility of the night.Anthony opened his eyes instantly, staring at the wolf. He was thinking about what immoral things he did recently that caused trouble, and who was going to kill him.

As for safety, he was very confident. This was his base camp, and the nearby buildings in Hawusi were all his men, guarded by more than a dozen gunmen.Even in his heart he was still mocking that the gunman who came to kill him was a fool, and he didn't know how to take advantage of him to go out to follow and when there were few people around him.

Not long after, a young gunman who was guarding ran in: "Godfather, we should go."

"Leave?" Anthony glanced at his wife who was following behind in shock, and frowned at his subordinates in front of him: "Why are you leaving? How many of them are there?"

The gunman shook his head: "I don't know."

Just in the time of these few words, the gunshots outside became dense, and after listening carefully, there were many submachine guns among them.With safety first in mind, Anthony grabbed his coat, led his wife and followed the gunman to the back door, trying to get in the car and escape.

At this moment, a shuttle of bullets flashed and rushed into Anthony's chest. The gunman next to him was about to fight back, but was also shot to death.Seeing the frightened and yelling elderly woman again and again, McCas glanced at her, and waved his hand to signal his subordinates to follow and kill others.

Gunshots rang out for a while, and a group of more than ten people got into several cars and walked away.All that remains are corpses, blood, a burning house, and a woman standing outside watching the raging fire helplessly crying...

At the same time, Anthony's eldest son who was in the casino was shot on his way home, and the second son who was sleeping at his mistress' house was strangled to death.Near the pier in the West Side of Manhattan, the leader of the Strachey family who controlled dozens of younger brothers returned to the sea.There are more than a dozen other high-level members of the Strazi family, including the family military adviser, all of whom died.

The next day, Leo Correa invited the remaining subordinates of the boss, or those who had been more popular recently, to hold a party at a farm in the suburbs.With delicious food, a wide range of spirits, and Leo Correa's impassioned speech, with the help of McCas, Val, and some other friends, he fell three times during the party. Under the deterrence of others, Leo Correa was recognized by the people present at the meeting, and they were willing to join the Correa family to create brilliance together.

That night, under Leo's phone calls, he successfully restored contact with some members of the Donkey Party who had made friends with the Strazi family before and established friendship.Of course, none of this would have been possible without the generous help of Vito Corleone.

It was the same fortress of the Corleone family, the same study room, except for an extra Leo at the back, the same people, and the same seats.This is the second day of Leo's ascension, and it has been a month since the last meeting. This time, Wang Yan has gained real respect.Including the irritable and irritable Santino, looking at him is not as aggressive as last time.

Wang Yan raised his glass to touch Vito with a smile, and at the same time signaled to the others: "Thanks again to the Corleone family for their help."

Vito, whose complexion was obviously better, took a big sip of wine, and after recovering, he waved his hands and said, "No need to say more, we are friends, aren't we, Wang."

"Of course." Wang Yan nodded affirmatively, and continued: "We are newcomers, and we are not very clear about some rules. Now we have only grasped the inheritance of the Strazi family, and we are far from forming a fighting force. So in a few days For the family meeting, Mr. Corleone needs to take care of him."

"Don't worry, Leo will be respected. You wiped out the Strazi family overnight. No one dares to underestimate such strength."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Corleone." Wang Yan clinked a glass with Vito again, and said with a smile, "I see that your physical and mental state are much better than when we met a month ago. Have you taken the medicine I sent you?"

Vito nodded: "Of course, Wang. I listened to what you said, and every morning I took a pill, and then I jogged in the yard for a while. After lunch, I usually take a nap. That's it. It's been a month, and now I feel like my body is the same as it was when I was 40 years old."

"Although I really want to say that you have been 40 years old, I have to tell you, Mr. Corleone, that is an illusion. It is a false feeling brought about by physical growth. Don't take it seriously." Wang Yan said jokingly, this is The side effect of the effect is too strong, there is no compulsion.Even if Vito has always been cautious and restrained, it is useless. No one can resist the great temptation of improving health and prolonging life in disguise.

As for what Vito said about taking it for a month, Wang Yan didn't believe it. Not to mention that he himself is a master of Chinese medicine, he said that Zhan Ke, the military adviser sitting next to Vito, should know that he also took the medicine.And Vito's complexion improved a lot, but he definitely didn't take it for a month, that is, about half a month.

Of course those Wang Yans don't care, as long as Vito eats it.After feeling the changes in his body, he will definitely sell it to his politician friends, or win new friends.All rich people will want to be healthier and live longer, otherwise the wealth they hold is useless, the greatest tragedy in life is indeed happening to them. of.

Although it is impossible to spend such a large amount of wealth if you live for a longer period of time, you can enjoy as much as you can, and you don't care about the money spent on medicine.Although $50 is the wealth of ordinary workers in the United States for nearly [-] years...

Vito laughed, accepted the bad joke, and asked the key point: "Wang, how much is the production of that medicine?"

"Now we can only produce [-] bottles a month."

"So little?" Vito frowned: "Can't we increase production? If you don't have enough money, I can help you."

"It can only be like this in the short term. You must know that the medicines we use are shipped from far away China, and many of them are rare and precious medicinal materials. These medicinal materials absorb the essence of the world and grow to usable The situation may take several years or even decades or hundreds of years. Moreover, many medicinal materials grow in hidden places, such as cliffs and cliffs, such as jungles where poisonous miasma is rampant. It is very dangerous, and it was picked with human life. Now that Huaxia is fighting, it is even more difficult to harvest medicinal materials. Therefore, it is already very good to have so many."

Wang Yan didn't lie, he actually sent people to get those expensive medicinal materials, all of which can be checked.As for the disappearance of these rare medicinal materials in the future, or the scarcity of production, it doesn't matter, he is collecting medicinal materials now.He already has a plan for the next step, which is to go back to Huaxia in person, find an organization, and partner in a company.Then he turned around and took these goods back and forth on the sea to play, just fooling around...

This is a must to cooperate with the organization, because in the future when peace comes, various port inspections, he will easily reveal his secrets if he is not settled.Of course, he is also willing to give the knife.Although this is not the real world, it is all the same, and money is just a number to him.As long as the development exceeds the actual historical period, he is happy.

And in the future, he still wants to fool those rich people into setting up a longevity laboratory. Occasionally, some results will be produced. It is also possible to simplify the configuration and improve efficiency, which is very safe.

After a long silence, Vito said slowly with a hoarse voice, "I want all the goods, and I will follow what you said for $[-] a bottle."

"Impossible, Mr. Corleone." Wang Yan shook his head again and again: "I know you have many friends, but we also want to make new friends, and using this medicine is the best way to make friends. It has no registration information and is not in the product list. It is absolutely safe; its production is rare, and its effect is obvious, and it may even be doubled if it is resold to those in need. I really can’t think of anything better than this medicine. It is destined to It will only be circulated among noble gentlemen in the world."

It's okay if he doesn't say it, but Vito wants to win it even more.

Vito stared into Wang Yan's eyes and said seriously: "Wang, it is of course very important for you to make new friends, and I cannot destroy your plan. But Wang, believe me, my friends are far more important than your friends. Just like Si Those few people in the Trazzi family are not worthy of this medicine. I think you should understand that if you give it away rashly, it will only lower the status of this medicine, and it will make those greedy little people cheaper in vain. We are friends, we have no conflict of interest, now and in the future, we are all five close partners of the united front. If you have difficulties, my friends will also help you."

Wang Yan looked embarrassed, drinking and meditating there.Vito's meaning is very clear, that is, as long as those medicines are given to him, then everyone will be brothers, your business is mine, and it's over if you have something to say.

The others didn't speak either, they held their breath and concentrated on drinking in silence, waiting for Wang Yan to make a decision.Everyone present, even the most irritable Santino, and even the lowest-status puppet Leo sitting behind Wang Yan, were not stupid.We all know that if Wang Yan agrees and agrees on a date when the Corleone family will monopolize all the production of the medicine, it will be of great help to the Corleone family.

After a long time, Wang Yan seemed to have made up his mind and drank the wine in his glass in one gulp: "Mr. Corleone, I have to admit that you are right. The time cost of making friends is very high. So I decided to For the next year, I will give you thirty bottles every month. If you are lucky and produce more, then I will use more to make friends. However, I have a request, and I hope you can agree. "

Vito nodded in satisfaction: "Go ahead, Wang, we are friends."

"I want to open a casino in Las Vegas, and I need a gaming license."

"No problem, Wang, I will solve this problem for you next month." Vito agreed without thinking: "Then when can you give me the medicine?"

"You can send someone to follow us back to get them in a while. These medicines were just made yesterday, and they are at my home."

"Very good." Vito turned his head to gesture to Zhanke, the military adviser.

The old man who had worked with him for half his life naturally understood what Vito meant, and immediately took out the checkbook from the briefcase at his feet, bent down to fill in the numbers on the coffee table, and presented it to Vito.

After receiving the check, Vito glanced at the number, and gently put it in front of Wang Yan: "Wang, this is 150 million. We are happy to cooperate."

"Fresh." Wang Yan didn't even look at it, handed it to Leo behind him, then raised his glass and touched Vito: "It's a happy cooperation."

He didn't wonder why Zhanke could write a check of 150 million. After all, Vito Corleone had been careful all his life. Apart from the many insignificant details that Phobola had mastered, what other companies, phone numbers, etc. Addresses, residences, all money, etc., etc., mostly without his name.

Of course, it is precisely because of this that those politicians will accept his kindness and form friendship with him.And other families can't spend money if they want to spend it, so it's 'not secret'.

After finishing his glass of wine, Wang Yan got up and shook hands with Vito and said, "The matter has been negotiated, so let's not bother. Who will go back with me to get the medicine?"

Vito, who also got up, looked back at Santino and Tom, and said, "The two of them will go with you."

"Okay, that's it. Good-bye, Mr. Corleone."

"I'll send it to you."

When they first came, only Tom Hagen saw them off, but now Don of the Corleone family saw them off in person, and the promotion of their status was obvious.

A group of people said goodbye at the gate of the villa while talking and laughing. Wang Yan and Leo got into the younger brother's car, and Santino drove along with Tom.After more than half an hour's drive, I returned home and took [-] bottles of medicine packaged, and sent the two away.

Looking at the car going away, Wang Yan looked at Leo who was standing beside him: "Take this money and go to Las Vegas to buy a piece of land, and find someone to design and build a building. The specific needs will wait for you to finish the purchase." I'll tell you later, go ahead."

"Yes, sir." Leo nodded respectfully, turned and left.The work must be clean and neat, he doesn't even want to eat dinner, and now he has to take people to fly there.

Opening casinos to make money is one aspect. The main reason is that casinos are a cash-intensive industry, and the current laws and regulations are not perfect, so they can be laundered in large quantities.There are other messy channels such as art, antiques, real estate, land, finance, etc., which are specially used for money laundering. During the period when they arrived in the United States, Leo and other men, as well as recruited people who caught their lives Professional lawyers and financial talents have established a channel.If you don't accept business from outsiders, you will launder the proceeds of those war fortunes.

The US knife is really hard now, and during the world war, the price of land and other things fell sharply. He didn't know how much land he had, and there were other messes like forest farms. These were all resources.

Now that the wharf and port have been won, logistics is involved. Of course, the next step is to build a few large ships to start international trade, and the absolute profits are being traded.The standard container has not yet appeared, and the contribution of the container to world trade is unquestionable. He plans to find someone to get it out soon and use it first.

Ignoring the old father-in-law who was playing with the lawn with a machine at the door, Wang Yan turned and went back to the villa, hugged Marlena and sat on the sofa, stroking her belly and making love to each other.

Marlena lay comfortably in Wang Yan's arms: "Honey, have you thought about the name of the child yet?"

"Isn't it just over a month since I was pregnant? It's still a long time."

"It's better to think about it first, so as to save you from being in a hurry. Hurry up, dear, you have to think about the names of boys and girls."

"Hey, yes." Wang Yan looked at Marina who raised her head and looked at him in her arms: "If it's a boy, it's called Siri, if it's a girl, how about Sira? You know, Malena, I don't of faith, so our children will not have a Christian name."

Wang Yan really doesn't care about the name, it doesn't matter if it's not nice, it's fine to call it a dog leftover, iron egg or something.However, it is still necessary to choose a serious name. It is also the first time for him to choose this Western name, so he simply followed the Sicilian name.The surname is of course 'Wang', and Malena is now surnamed Wang.According to the habit of foreigners, it is Xili Wang and Sira Wang, and the Chinese habit is the other way around. The combination of Chinese and Western is very good.

"Of course, dear, I think these two names are very good. It is from my hometown, although it is not so memorable to me, but the place where we fell in love. As for faith, although I am a devout Catholic, I will not force You, let alone force our children. So they will not be baptized, and it will depend on their own wishes in the future."

What Marlena said was the truth, although she thought it was unbelievable that Wang Yan didn't have faith before, but she knew how to respect it.And to be honest, when it comes to understanding the Bible and God, Wang Yan knows more than a believer like her.So that's it, believe it or not.

"Then it's settled." Wang Yan said softly: "Don't be too tired, it will be a long time before the baby is born, so don't be so anxious to make clothes for them. If it's really boring, go shopping with Leo's wife, or Call that English teacher over to study and study."

"Got it..." Malena replied copiously.

In fact, Wang Yan spends most of his time at home, only a few times he goes out to work, and he still spends a lot of time with Marlena.After all, he has so many people under him, and he needs to care about everything, so he should consider whether to kill them all.

Life is really dull now, basically he wakes up early to exercise, and Malena wakes up naturally to make breakfast.Then he reads and studies during the day, while Malena occasionally makes clothes and learns English occasionally.In the evening, the two of them worked together and sat down for a dinner combining Chinese and Western styles.If there is less, the two of them will take the old man to eat together, and if there is more, they will ask the two subordinates to eat together.Then at night, they still do their own things, and finally they hugged each other and fell asleep.

Ever since she was pregnant, Malena stopped letting Wang Yan touch her, and this monk will have to be a monk for half a year...

That must be impossible. After all, they have all come to the free America, so what else can they do without horses?

The most refreshing and relatively safe way is of course to go to a brothel.But Leo's subordinates were not involved in that, and Wang Yan didn't let him do it either.If you don’t do so many lucrative deals, what do you have to do?But even though they didn't do it, the members of the Correa family were all loyal customers of the Corleone family's property.

Of course, Wang Yan definitely didn't want to do it. He was already in this position, so he really lost his status.So the younger brother he sent to Los Angeles opened a film and television production company there, and the company has been set up with a lot of cash. Recently, he is looking for a script and is ready to invest in the filming.At that time, all kinds of female roles, without him, Mr. Wang, to check and test their acting skills, how can they do it?And it must be the kind that has just entered the industry, with great potential.

Moreover, in the future, he will have to set up a record company, find some singing seeds, and set up a theater chain. He, Wang, should contribute to the prosperity of the American entertainment industry. This is his unshirkable responsibility.

As for his main goal, he has not been idle all this time.Some younger brothers have already fixed the office space, and professionals in related fields are also in contact, including some masters of Chinese studies and Yi studies in China, to help them move their families to the United States.Basically, within half a year, each project will be on the right track.

Of course, he does not force him to find someone in China.Just get in touch, talk about the conditions and the conditions are over, it still depends on what people think.He respects those who don’t come, but welcomes those who come with contempt.Although it is awkward, people are complicated and have cheap diseases.

Of course, to find someone to continue his 'chaos' research, and at the same time, as he thought before, to produce a normal ternary computer and promote it all over the world.

Mainly to promote the ternary system, of course, according to his previous plan, the second is to engage in aerospace engineering and virtual reality, including neuron links, servers, game engines and so on.

Multi-line development and progress at the same time.Strive to launch personal computers first in the mid-to-late 50s, follow in the footsteps of Nasa to start the aviation process, and then gradually make efforts to elevate the development track of aerospace compared with the actual history.As for the other things, let's study slowly, he doesn't know how long it will take to succeed, anyway, it's better to have hope than to live aimlessly.After all, a person can't just live, let alone live for his sake.

And apart from normal physiological needs, he can be said to have broken away from vulgar interests. He is a completely noble person who thinks that he is shouldering the mission of the stars and seas of mankind.It looks more like self-anesthesia, finding an unreachable goal to blindly pursue to spend his long life.

But it doesn't matter what you say, there is always something to do...

Three days later, in a tavern owned by the Corleone family, in a secret environment on the second floor that is not open to the public, they made an appointment with the mafia family to gather and discuss the future together.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this matter, it is just an acknowledgment of Leo's status.After all, a country bumpkin from his hometown who has no foundation and has just arrived in the United States can kill most of the people who are in charge of the Strachey family overnight. No matter what, it is worthy of respect.

They ask themselves, it is not impossible to achieve this level, but it is too difficult, and there will always be times of mistakes and leaks.They are also afraid of this strength.Although Leo has not yet fully controlled all the inheritance of the Strazzi family, it is not that they rely on, but the team that came together, which is scary.

If the ranking is based on the strength of the action masters of the current twisted families, Luca Brasi in the Corleone family is generally recognized as the best, but they are familiar with Luca's record.And in the past few days, they have investigated the situation of this battle in detail, and it turns out that everyone in Leo's group seems to be Luca, which is a bit scary, and the old Corleone is convinced what.

Of course, they were not fools. They naturally suspected that Leo and Vito were in collusion, and they also found out that Leo had been to the Corleone family residence.But after much deliberation, they didn't find that doing so would benefit the Corleone family, and it was not in line with Vito's behavior.After all, they had some conflicts before, but they were far from dead.And Vito has never been reckless, he will not do things that are not beneficial, and he will take the initiative to negotiate with others and warn others.If it can be negotiated, everyone will get rich, but if it cannot be negotiated, it should be a war.

Several other members of the big family had a small meeting before. They thought about it and didn't understand it. In the end, it was nothing. After all, the Strazzi family was wiped out. We have to see what the new Don Correa is like. Such people are easy to judge.

So, of course, the meeting was a great success.Leo Correa got the approval of the gangsters who had twisted the contract, and admitted that all the rights and interests that originally belonged to the Strazi family belonged to the Correa family.

Leo took the stage he never expected, but he was even more afraid.So at the end of the meeting, he politely declined the invitations of the other big families, and went directly to Las Vegas by plane. He had to do the things assigned by the big brother, and he was going to study the land...
