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

Morgan didn't bother Astor, since something happened in his manor, he had to solve it.

Otherwise, once the public opinion gets out of control and is taken advantage of by those who want to, whether it is him or a regular guest, the celebrities and nobles who participated in the party that night will be affected.

Morgan didn't expect to do bad things with good intentions, so he wiped his hair...

He contacted the Italian Mafia, the Irish's haters, and paid them enough to claim responsibility for Sean's death.

The Irish and the Italians are blood feuds, and also hate the British very much!

Because as early as 1845, Ireland suffered from the oppression and occupation of the British colonies. Later, the Corn Laws were abolished, just in time for the Great Plague, which caused many deaths and injuries to the Irish, and they had to travel across the ocean to the United States to seek a living. However, after coming to the United States, The British still bully them...

The feud with the Italians is mainly due to the competition for territory. Both sides are immigrants. If they want to gain a foothold, they must be strong enough, so gradually the two sides started fighting and could not reconcile.

The Italians admitted that Sean was assassinated by them, which has two benefits, one is to suppress the morale of the Irish, and the other is to boost the Italians, because their life has not been easy recently.

Due to the suppression of news of the sinking of the Titanic, Sean's death did not cause much disturbance in the hearts of the public, only the Irish paid attention to it.

As a result, for two consecutive days, the Italians and the Irish fought inextricably, with dozens of casualties...

Lantmore Street was swept twice, and the customers who called were afraid to enter the door.

In the end, representatives from both sides negotiated a truce.

And in these days, Russell has not been idle.

First, he let Tommy rent two houses in Brooklyn for carpenters and relatives to live in.

Now they are living for free, but after making money, they have to pay some rent every month. They are also very grateful to Mr. Walker for his generosity. If it weren’t for him, they would have to sleep on the street after they came to New York!Because money and other things have sunk into the Atlantic Ocean.

Then Russell and Ruth also checked out of the Peninsula Hotel and rented a house in Brooklyn.

As for why not live in Manhattan?

Russell's idea is very simple, life and career should be separated and cannot be mixed together, otherwise the family will not even have time to react when encountering troubles...

Don't think of New York too beautifully, here is a chaotic, dirty, cramped city full of pornography and blood!

Besides, although he lives in Brooklyn, if he wants to go to Manhattan, he only needs to take a car across the Manhattan Bridge, which leads directly to Chinatown in Manhattan, and then walks forward to the Brooklyn Bridge leading to Wall Street in the financial district. The traffic is very convenient. .

Chapter 106 "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​Noodles and Percy

The house he lives in is a two-storey small building with an area of ​​about [-] square meters, with an underground warehouse and a front yard.

The interior decoration is very luxurious, European classical style decoration, the furniture is imported from England, even the sofa is made of elk skin...

Of course, the rent is also very expensive, 55 US dollars per month, which is equivalent to two and a half months' wages of ordinary workers.And there's a furniture usage fee...$8 a month.

This type of leasing was modeled after England.

Russell sat on the elk leather sofa with his legs crossed, holding a cigar in his hand, listening to Tommy's report with a blank expression.

"The Irish and the Italians have already ceased fighting. More than 20 people have been killed or injured on both sides these days, and more than 30 people have been arrested by the police..."

"But I don't think it will be long before they continue to fight, because there are many gray business places on the Upper East Side, and it is impossible for both sides to give up."

"Boss, we have to intervene..."

Russell exhaled smoke and shook his head: "No, what we need to do is a formal and legal business, not those wastes that are just for survival. I don't allow you to do the gray industry yourself."

Tommy blinked and understood immediately.

"understand!"

"Ms. Brown has helped register the company. You need to find two stores to open the security company and the construction company. The security company is located near East 57th Street, and the construction company is located near the Brooklyn industrial area."

"Ok."

"Besides, don't let the Irish live too peacefully."

Tommy was stunned, "Boss...they can't be calm, right? The president of the Irish Civilian Association is dead, and now many people are staring at this position, which will definitely cause internal conflicts."

Russell smiled and said, "No, that's your opinion, and it's also the opinion of most people. But from the perspective of the Irish, it is impossible for them to have internal fighting, because there are Italians watching from outside, and there are also British people who are good at conspiracy. Wait and see, so their first priority is to unite and elect a leader first."

Suddenly, Tommy understood.

"Okay, I'll make arrangements."

"You don't want to come forward for anything related to the gray industry, but you can ask Adam or his cousin to come forward."

"understand!"

Not all Irish people are idiots to survive in America.Besides, it is still very easy to choose two or three smart people out of millions of people.

Originally, Russell didn't want to enter the venue at this time, but the United States is currently vigorously developing the secondary industry. If he doesn't enter the venue as soon as possible, he may not even be able to drink soup.

Therefore, his down-to-earth development route was dismissed, and he turned to earn a quick sum of money... Besides, there is no gray industry, and the more than 500 million US dollars in his cash box cannot be washed away. There are too many procedures involved.

Otherwise, if they are suspected by Astor and others, all the achievements will be in vain.

He raised his glass and took a sip of red wine, when Ruth came down the stairs wearing black stockings with suspenders.

"Mr. Walker, this sock is very comfortable. You see..."

Russell said with a smile: "Of course, don't doubt my aesthetics."

"Then we...?"

"I can't wait so soon, don't I need to wait for the night to come?"

"No, I just want to make you happy..."

Ruth had a lot of ideas, but since she couldn't realize them alone, she had to ask Russell for help...

on the sofa.

Ruth leaned on his shoulder and drew circles on the elk hide.

"Mr. Walker, Mrs. Pulitzer invited me to go shopping these days, but when we went to the horse farm to practice equestrianism, Mrs. Pulitzer and the others had to ride sideways...I feel very uncomfortable."

Russell looked down at her and smiled, "You want to ride a horse? A straddle?"

"Yes!"

Ruth's eyes trembled.

"I'll teach you another day."

"Good! I'm looking forward to it!"

For a moment, Ruth was a little excited and looking forward to it. She couldn't wait to go to the racecourse, and then ask Mr. Walker how to straddle...

"Perhaps I should take Mr. Astor's advice and get two servants."

Ruth blinked: "But, if we find a servant, we won't be able to be free..."

Russell patted her buttocks and said with a smile: "You have a lot of thoughts, can you clean such a big house? And you have to cook and buy vegetables every day. You are a nobleman, how can you show yourself in public? Let Mrs. Pulitzer When people find out, they will definitely laugh at you."

"I'm not an aristocrat! Aristocrats are really hypocritical. They don't even dare to refute the most disgusting things. Instead, they laugh awkwardly. I really can't stand it."

"If you can't bear it, you have to bear it. When you can't change the environment, let the environment accept you! Hypocrisy, dirty, insidious... This is the case throughout the United States, people are profiting for themselves, in the New York philanthropist It's just a joke, people don't think he is kind, they only think he wants to do some good deeds because he has done too many bad things."

Ruth nodded, "Mr. Walker, I know."

"One last warning, don't talk about the hypocrisy of nobles in the future, because we are also hypocritical, understand?"

Ruth trembled, and turned her head to look at the buttock bridge aggrieved, "Understood, all, it's almost swollen."

a few days later.

Ruth was invited by the Countess of North Leslie to go to the winery to enjoy the beautiful scenery, accompanied by Ida Strauss, Madeleine and other noble ladies who survived the Titanic.

The countess often hang out with Ruth's mother, Fisher, on the ship.During the shipwreck, she boarded lifeboat No. [-], but the sailor in charge of the boat was extremely nervous and difficult to control, which made the passengers terrified.

The countess stood up, not only comforted the passengers, but also acted as the helmsman, paddling herself for an hour.

She did not accept interviews with the news media and has been avoiding this, possibly because the shipwreck left her with some psychological trauma.Today she took the lead and gathered the surviving celebrities and nobles, the purpose is to relieve the pain...

Originally, she also invited Mrs. Brown, but her family was seriously ill and did not return to Manhattan.

But Mrs. Brown has helped Russell register the security company and the construction company, and sent the relevant procedures.

Russell went to Manhattan's 57th Street the next day and put up a sign on the store that had been leased for a long time, which meant that 'Walker Security Company' was officially open.

Lemay is the reception supervisor, Tommy is the security manager, Ruth is the finance manager, and Russell is the boss.

Usually only two or three people are on duty in the company. If you have a task, you can call Tommy and he will pass it on to Russell... This procedure is essential. If there are no upper and lower classes in the United States, it is the same as a small workshop in a slum no difference.

In the Brooklyn industrial area, a new construction company was opened, and the above-mentioned people also served as supervisors and managers of various main positions. The registered employees were carpenters, third-class survivors of the shipwreck, and some newly recruited employees.

And, Walker Construction is also a member of the United Steelworkers, United Carpenters, Society of Architects... and more.

If you want to do business in the United States, it is basically impossible not to join the association, but there are many benefits to joining it. Not only do you not have to worry about wage arrears, but you can also get some small benefits.

On this day, Russell was cleaning up the sundries in the yard. Just about to smoke a cigarette, he found that the cigarette case was empty.

He raised his head and looked towards the street. When he saw two and a half children, he beckoned.

The two children were a little dazed, looked at each other and came over.

"Hi sir, what can I do?"

Russell smiled and said, "How about running errands for me to buy two packs of cigarettes? The rest of the money will be your tip."

The eyes of the two children were shining, and they happily replied:

"Yes, sir! Please leave it to us."

Russell took out a dollar and handed it to the older child. He took the money and dragged the younger brother away.

He is not afraid that the two children will run away because they live nearby.

Brooklyn is home to Italians, Jews, blacks, Poles, Russians, Germans...no matter what race you are in, you can see them all in Brooklyn.

At the same time, it is also regarded as the birthplace of chaos, filth, and crime, because people here have low education level, employment difficulties, discrimination everywhere, and extremely high crime rate.

And Russell is right on this point, at least doing some under-the-light business here is much more convenient than in Manhattan.

Since you have come to the United States, if you don’t experience the core culture, you are not here!

Soon, the two children ran back.

The older child handed over two packs of cigarettes, pointed to the donut in the child's mouth, and said, "Sir, two packs of cigarettes cost [-] cents, and the remaining [-] cents are for my good friend to buy donuts... "

Russell took the cigarette, opened it, took out one and lit it.

"Why didn't you buy them? Donuts aren't expensive."

The child said: "We want to eat donuts every day, but it is not every day that we receive tips for running errands. So, I have to plan to buy donuts."

Russell is somewhat interested in children. You must know that the two children in front of them seem to be only eight or nine years old, and at most no more than 12 years old. It is not easy to say such words.

"What's your name?"

The older child said: "Sir, my name is David Allenson. If you think my name is very popular, you can also call me Noodles. He is my good friend Pai Xi."

David Aronson, Noodles?

Percy?

Once Upon a Time in America!

In just an instant, Russell thought of the noodles and Percy in "Once Upon a Time in America"... and Max and others, but Max hasn't moved here yet.

It is only 1912 now, and it will take 9 years for Max to meet Noodles and become friends...

Russell was a little puzzled. Although he had already prepared for the second dungeon, he didn't expect the second dungeon to enter the timeline so early...

Is the fruit core a copy of the growth class?So Easter egg fruit is also a growth category?

"Sir, what should we call you?"

Russell looked at the two and said, "Russell Walker, you can call me Walker."

"Mr. Walker, thank you for your generosity. We have been on the street for a long time, and we have never met such a generous person. But you should be careful when you live here. There are many hooligans on the street who have noticed your extravagant life. They Very hateful and greedy for money.”

Russell nodded with a smile: "Thank you for reminding me, how old are you this year?"

"Nine years old, Mr. Walker, don't think I'm young, but I've done a lot of things."

"for example?"

Noodles gasped and said, "I've seen women take a bath!"

"Hahaha..." Russell laughed.

Laughing because Russell knows very well that the reason why Noodles is so frank is to draw distance from him in a smart way.
