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

It's not for anything else, it's just because Sonny considers things too subjectively, and he can listen to some suggestions in critical moments, but he doesn't bother to listen to them in peacetime, and he doesn't want to use his brain to think.

"There are no beneficiaries in this war. If there are beneficiaries, the biggest one is the government of New York!"

After Vito finished speaking, Sonny and Tom looked at each other, as if they understood.

"Godfather, we're out of the securities and fashion business, and it's even harder to clean it up. We're left with olive oil, real estate, construction companies, casino private lotteries, and shares in Long Island private banks..."

Vito tilted his head and looked at Sonny and asked, "Where do you think the change should be made?"

Sonny blinked, shaking his head, speechless.

"Do you know what Russell is doing? He sent people to California, valued the film industry, and found Proportion Goff to discuss film investment and advertising market, understand?"

Tom asked suspiciously: "We also want to make movies? But it's hard to make money investing in movies now. Those who make money are famous directors and actors."

"Johnny Fontane is in Hollywood, you can talk to him."

Sonny frowned and said, "Father, are you planning to retire?"

"I won't retire until you grow up." Vito pointed at him and said, "There are some moths in the house, I hope you find him."

Sonny said, "Paulie's dead..."

"Not him! Sonny, you have to learn to use your brains instead of trusting randomly. Do you trust Tom?"

"trust."

Vito pointed to Tom and said, "I order you to slap Sonny."

Tom was startled, and immediately slapped Sonny without hesitation.

"Sonny, did you see? You trusted him, but he still listened to me, why?"

"You are his godfather, of course he wants to listen to you." Sonny said, rubbing the back of his head.

"Yes, I am his godfather. I can also use his family to coerce him, and I can also use benefits to lure him..."

Vito has never stopped educating Sonny, but he never learns his lesson. Sometimes he is overwhelmed by anger and does things that surprise even himself.

"I'll check."

Vito pointed to Tom and said, "Go see Johnny yourself."

"Ok."

"The U.S. Congress is enacting a bill for Las Vegas, and casinos may be able to operate legally in the future. But before the bill comes down, we need to make preparations first, buy more land, and then build hotels."

Sonny was stunned when he heard the words, and said, "Father, if we can operate legally, isn't this an opportunity for us to transform?"

"Yes, a very good opportunity."

Chapter 158 The Holy Land of Fashion, Queen Malena's Dress

Peninsula Manor.

In the backyard, Vittorio was rolling on the track on a small tricycle made by Russell himself.

Russell and Marlena sat on wooden chairs, put their hands on the rocking car and coaxed Kaqi and Mansha lying inside.

Seeing Vittorio wrestling, the two of them didn't move, but looked at each other and laughed.

"Dad, Mom! I fell down." Vittorio yelled on the ground.

Marlena covered her mouth and suppressed a smile, and replied: "Get up when you fall, hurry up! Don't let your younger siblings laugh at you."

"They're not laughing, it's just you and Papa."

Malena said with a straight face: "My father and I were joking, and it has nothing to do with you. Get up quickly, the ground is very cold."

"Ok."

After finishing off Basini and the others at the pier that night, Russell has been free, playing with Marlena and the children every day.During the day it belongs to the child, and at night it belongs to Marina.

During this period, many people called Russell, including New York Mayor Dwyer and the governor and senators.

However, the topic of conversation is not nutritious, it is nothing more than words of thanks.These Russells are tired of hearing it, but both Dwyer and the governor proposed to give tax relief to the 'Cachmansa' shoe and clothing company, and proposed to expand the factory.

Russell is not going to scale up during times like this, which means New York will be his and the family's base.

Moreover, more than a month after the Mafia started the war, that is, on January 1, 27 steel workers in the United States went on strike!

The cause of the event was the end of the war...

During the war, the front line needs a lot of supplies, and the soldiers who died in battle also need coffins, etc., so the wages of workers in all walks of life have increased.

But after the war ended, coffin-making workers first lowered their wages, then tentatively laid off workers, and changed it to billing income. How can this be agreed?

So the coffin workers went on strike directly, causing the corpses or ashes being transported back without the coffins for burial.

Then the taxi drivers also went on strike. The reason is that passengers used to give tips, but now there are less or no tips. After asking, I found out that wages have been cut in all walks of life.

The driver saw that this was not good, and his parents had no money for food and clothing, so would they have good fruit to eat?

Plumbers, telephone workers, packers and more...

In the end, the iron and steel industry, the head of the heavy industry in the United States, saw that the situation was not good, so it threw off its arms and joined the strike ranks.

It’s impossible not to join, you must fight for your own interests.

Sure enough, this million-worker strike shocked Washington, and Truman hurriedly appeased and introduced legislation on housing, employment, and civil rights.

He signed the "Employment Act" on February 1946, 2, which stated that the federal government must be responsible for coordinating and utilizing all its own plans, policies, powers and resources to provide employment opportunities for job seekers.

In layman's terms, it is strictly forbidden to lower workers' wages indiscriminately to ensure the interests of workers... Truman is indeed doing this. He has amended 12 items in the "Fair Labor Standards Act" and raised the minimum wage of 1945 cents an hour for workers in 40 to 1950. 75 cents a year.

And now the laborers have only been returning to work for less than half a month, which is the time for the unemployed to look for work.

Russell didn't bother to add performance to Dwyer, and it didn't do him any good.

Besides, the sales of clothing, shoes and hats of the Kaqimansha brand have been increasing in an orderly manner, and clothing is not food, it is a consumable, and it is difficult to sell when it expires.

Now the output of the two plants has been able to supply the sales of the entire United States.

However, Russell has an idea to set up a fashion sanctuary, not in Paris, France, but in Hollywood, California.

Find a group of good-looking girls to take a show, or run a fashion magazine, and then combine the major Hollywood studios to dig out the star ratings of newcomers, and cooperate with the film union to set a benchmark!

These ideas will be slowly realized in the near future, because although the 'Kachimansa' brand has started in the United States, the sales of men's and women's formal clothes are not good. The best sellers are nightdresses designed by Malena, Stockings...

Russell didn't want to make 'Kachmansa' into Victoria's Secret, then the brand has limitations, and if it wants to do it, it has to make all categories.

But before that, Russell and his family will move to California, which is very close to Las Vegas, less than an hour away by plane.

The last time Olijatu and Ankos came here, in addition to buying land to build a hotel, they also negotiated an aviation cooperation with the local Zhengfu Airport.

Air Sicily has officially settled in California airports and Las Vegas. Currently, Air Sicily has five passenger aircraft in the United States, and its branch is located in Nevada. Because of the generous benefits, it can reduce a lot of taxes.

Doing any formal business in the United States has to pay taxes. If you don’t pay taxes, it is illegal. The federal government has the right to strike and destroy. The stubborn ones will die from the army’s shells.

Individuals cannot fight against the federal government, even if they have the president's handle.Unless you master the military supply chain of the federal government.

But the military industry has long been controlled by the Rockefeller family, Morgan family, Mellon family, etc. They also know that this thing is life, and if they lose their lives, they will die.

But Russell was different. He dared to hold the handle of Hoover and Truman, and he dared to confront the Federation.

It's just that the regulars of the Federation are not fools, and they don't want to provoke him easily. He has been in New York for less than a year, and the regulars in the entire New York state want to give him some thin face.

do not give?Then you step down, and I will replace someone to keep the machine running.

Dwyer visited twice and three times, trying to ask Russell to help solve the problem of unemployment, but he directly rejected Dwyer, telling him clearly not to push his nose.

Russell and Vito talked on the phone twice during this period, just chatting about feelings, not business.

Both of them understand that business should be done slowly and opportunities should be met slowly.

Now, an opportunity is quietly approaching, and Russell knows that Vito will definitely seize it, but Vito's layout is a bit late, allowing Russell to seize the opportunity.

That is the regularization of Las Vegas casino listings. If the local area wants to drive the economy, only by creating a "Casino" signboard can it have a chance to turn around.

Otherwise, there is a barren land, who will build a city there and develop it?Isn't that a cannon in the head!

Vito’s son, Mike, had a good life in Sicily. Every time he and Vito communicated, he would talk about the changes in Sicily. He knew that Vito would like to hear such words, because Sicily is Vito’s hometown. Who wouldn’t want to look at his hometown? get up.

Sicily has indeed changed a lot. Every coastal road has been built very spacious. The nearby villages organize people to clean up the garbage on the beach every week, and an environmental protection association has been established.

The most prosperous cities are Palermo and Catania. Palermo is the capital of the region, and its development is bound to be very fast. The Chris government has produced a large number of capable people, all of whom are hand-picked, such as the construction and transportation headquarters. Director of the Department, was a special engineer of the trade union, and served as the executive chairman of the Association of Technicians.

And Catania is in charge of Harvey and Hagen, the two cooperated well...

This year, the blood oranges and grapes produced in Sicily are not only used as raw materials for wineries, but also exported to various parts of Europe, ensuring the income of local residents.

The people of Sicily were full of praise for Corleone, because this was the first year after the war, known as the 'zero' year in history.The lives of the people have been greatly improved, and they should be grateful to Corleone. Without him, the people of Sicily would be living in a miserable life than the people of the Pennines.

What kind of life do people in the Apennine Peninsula live?Some people begged in the streets in rags, they were beaten and dared not to speak out, countless people were beaten to death for stealing food, and the disaster of hunger made people complain...

At this time, the conservatives appeared. They first encouraged the inner beliefs of the people, and said that as long as the king was brought down, their lives would be better.

Then on June 6, Italy held elections for the Constituent Assembly, and a referendum was held at the same time, officially announcing the abolition of the Kingdom and the establishment of the Italian Republic.

This day is also designated as the National Day of Italy.

The vote went well, with all adults in Sicily voting Yes and 70.00% in the North.

The kingdom was abolished, the king officially stepped down, and Vittorio Emanuele III and his son went into exile abroad...

And Vitini also complied with the regulations. After his companion Enrico took office as president, he implemented autonomous management of Sicily, and granted natural mineral development rights and oil field exploitation rights, but he had to hand over part of the profits and land use to the Italian mainland. Taxes... and a series of taxes.

That's the price of legal mining, everywhere.

Mike witnessed all this in Sicily, and found the girl of his heart, and got married under the witness of her parents.

Vito joked: "If Mike wasn't surnamed Corleone, with his broken Italian, it would be impossible for a Sicilian girl to marry him."

At the same time, Vito also invited Russell to meet at the garden villa when Mike took his wife back to New York.

But Russell may not be able to keep the appointment, because he will move his family to California.

Vito was full of regret when he learned about it, so he had to give up.

Today, dinner is over.

Marina made black tea for Russell with her own hands, and the two sat on the sofa and hugged each other sweetly, causing Vittorio who passed by to cover his eyes shyly.

"Honey, tonight will be our last night here."

Russell put his arm around her shoulders and looked down at her.

"Do you want to impress?"

"Yes!"

Russell raised his hand and slapped her round the chest, and said with a smile, "You can wear a queen's suit and wait for me on the bed like Heidi Lamarr."

Marlena rolled her eyes and said, "I knew you had thoughts about her. The last time I saw her movie in the cinema, you made a move on me..."

Russell said with a smile: "It's just that the love between the two of us has nothing to do with her. Don't you think it's fun in the cinema?"

"Fortunately, there are only us, otherwise it would be a shame."

Malena stood up and said, "Honey, can you come into the room in 10 minutes?"

Russell looked up into her eyes, "...OK!"

Chapter 159 Corleone Manor, Marlena: Don't leave!

The night was lonely, and the corners of the woods in the peninsula manor were filled with the sounds of various insects.

Dim lights swayed at the door, and a few guards could be vaguely seen looking around.

In the master bedroom, the aroma diffuses to add a touch of charm to the small bedroom.

After changing her clothes, Malena found a pair of silver high-heeled shoes in the shoe cabinet, paired with black and red-trimmed stockings, which looked quite charming.

Especially the white starry gauze dress she was wearing had an eye-catching attraction standing at the end of the bed.

Her shoulder-length pure black short hair was soft and rippling, her facial makeup was light and elegant, her lips were smeared with wine red lipstick, and there was a kind of awe-inspiring magic in her frowning brows and eyes.

Russell slowly pushed open the door, and his heart trembled when he saw her appearance through the crack of the door.

He didn't expect that Malena would look more charming than Heidi Lamarr in "The Siegfried Girl" in this dress.

Malena's figure was very plump before, but now she has a more three-dimensional figure after having a child.

The legs and waist are very thin, and there is no flesh on her face, so where did her flesh grow?
