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

As expected of a Jewish child, this little cleverness is all used in the world.

Russell talked to Noodles for a few words, and then let them leave.

Before leaving, Noodles solemnly reminded: "Mr. Walker, don't ignore my words just because I am a child. The hooligans on the street are planning a robbery."

Russell nodded with a smile: "Thank you for your kind reminder, I will pay attention."

"Then can you give me the job of running errands?"

"Sure, but not every day."

"I'm content every now and then. Goodbye, Mr. Walker."

"Goodbye, noodles."

Chapter 107 Chaotic neighborhood, chasing interests

Noodles and Patsy left, Russell turned around and exhaled smoke.

The plot of "Once Upon a Time in America" ​​seems to be about gang struggles, but it is actually about friendship and dreams.

It's just that the dream and friendship didn't end well, which made Russell vigilant.

It seems that to survive and struggle in the United States, one must be an absolute self-interested person, otherwise the ending will be miserable.

At this time, people came to this land with the American dream in mind, and worked hard to realize their dreams.

However, what is the dream?

She is the money that fascinates, the disaster that arouses desire, and the power that makes people fear, and finally these elements converge into one, forming a crime that seems calm but actually chaotic...

In other words, she is everywhere!

However, what puzzled Russell was that the heavens did not give target information, and there was an eight or nine-year gap between the beginning of the plot of the American past and the end of the Titanic shipwreck.

Do you want to change the fate of Noodles and others?

But they are less than ten years old, and they are still ten years away from adults.

If Noodles can grow up smoothly and not commit impulsive crimes and go to prison because of losing friends, maybe he is worth cultivating...

After all, the character of noodles has been highlighted now.

He earned 40 cents in tips from Russell, and his friend Patsy bought donuts with all the 20 cents he got, but he saved the money and didn't spend it randomly.

From here you can see his attitude towards friendship and money.

If someone else got a tip of 40 cents, it would be nice to be able to give the servant 10 cents. After all, Pai Xi never talked to Russell from the beginning to the end, and just walked a few steps with the noodles.

Besides, it is not easy for him to know how to manage money at such a young age.

a few days later.

In the morning, a ray of warm sun shines into the room.

Ruth stroked her hair and sat at the dressing table adjusting her makeup.

And Russell was lying sideways on the bed, admiring her charming movements with the corners of his mouth raised.

Last night, a robbery and homicide occurred in this block. The murderer fled in a hurry at two o'clock in the morning and disappeared in the block.

Not only Russell heard the movement, but many people in the block heard it, but no one came to help.

As for why?There is no reason, when the disaster does not come to them, most people will choose to stand by.

Besides, why did Russell help? This is fucking America!

The Jewish old man and his maid, who were over half a year old, were stabbed six times and died tragically on the bed.

It was not until dawn that a note came to check, and the body was transported away without sealing off the scene.

Then the case was closed, and the crime was passed on to Bagsey, the boss of the block.

Before noon, Bagsey sent two people to surrender.

"Tomorrow, I'm going to Boston with Mr. Astor. You can take some gifts to visit Molly, and I'll pick you up when I come back."

Mrs. Brown's seriously ill relative eventually died. She didn't inform Russell to attend the funeral, but now that she knew about it, she had to go and see it, so as to maintain her sense of the world.

"Okay, when are you coming back?"

"I don't know. It depends on Mr. Astor's voice in Boston. If he is weak, it will be difficult to deal with."

"Well, Mrs. Pulitzer just invited me to go shopping in the morning. I will buy some presents and visit Mrs. Brown in the afternoon."

After Ruth was fully dressed, Mrs. Pulitzer's servant drove to fetch her.

Not long after she left, Tommy and Thain arrived in a brand new Ford.

They parked the car at the gate of the courtyard, got out of the car and walked towards the house.

When he reached the door, Tommy turned his head to look at the street, and found two children squatting at the corner of the street, and three or five young people gathered at the corner of a narrow alley on one side.

Enter the room.

Tommy and Thain greeted the boss, and Russell invited the two to sit down and chat.

"The Irish and the Italians are at war again, and we're opening two speakeasies and three mobile poker shops at just the right time."

"Originally, I thought our business would be booming after they fought, but it doesn't look very optimistic now."

"Last week, the bar only made less than [-] dollars, and the small casino also made less than [-] dollars in pit fees."

Russell stared at him frowning, flicking the ash on his cigar.

"Who is in charge of these two businesses?"

"Adam and his cousin."

Tommy lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "In order to support their cause, I asked Laimai to recruit twenty Englishmen who have been bullied by the Irish in West Midtown, which is Hell's Kitchen."

"But Adam's management is very poor, his opponents are very conniving, and his cousin is... hard to describe."

Russell asked with a straight face: "What does this mean?"

Tommy was speechless and bowed his head to admit his mistake.

"It means that you have placed unsuitable people in unsuitable positions."

Russell said indifferently: "Although Adam is calm in doing things, he will only do what you tell him to do, and he will be rigid, lacking in brainpower, and easily impulsive when things happen."

"So his position should be the deputy, not the main manager. His ability and position are not suitable, and he can't do what he wants, and he is trembling... You say that he indulges his subordinates, but he doesn't know how to get along with them, because Aya Stan is very cautious when dealing with you."

Tommy trembled when he heard the words, and suddenly realized.

Every time he talks with his boss, he can learn something, even if the boss said something cryptic, he can learn from it and sum up experience.

Therefore, Tommy's progress is visible to the naked eye, but the comprehension of his fellow villagers is much less.

"Boss, if Ashdown is replaced now, it may shake other people. Otherwise, I will direct him for a while, and then transfer him to another place when the business improves. Is that okay?"

Russell nodded in satisfaction: "Very well, let's do this. But you can't place Adam's position too high, otherwise when you replace him, there will be a gap in your heart, understand?"

"understand!"

"New York is like a melting pot. When everyone else is sweating, someone will be lazy. But you can't throw lazy people into the garbage truck like garbage."

Tommy said solemnly and respectfully: "I will throw the guards into the furnace!"

Russell leaned on the sofa, crossed his legs, and put the cigar on the ashtray.

"You should know that this is the United States. People work hard to pursue profit, and the same is true for those who follow you. If there is no profit to drive, who is willing to be a bull and a horse?"

Tommy's eyes flickered, "Boss, I understand what you mean."

He knows exactly what the boss is talking about. Simply put, it is to let those who work with him earn enough money and share the gains fairly.

Russell pointed at him and asked, "Is your child old enough to go to school? When the summer recruits, I will recommend her to attend classes at a community college. You have to apply for an identity certificate for her in advance."

Immediately, Tommy's eyes widened and his body trembled.

Extremely excited, he jumped up brazenly, "Boss!..."

Russell waved his hands and frowned: "Sit down, don't put all your emotions on your face, understand?"

"I... I... ok!"

Tommy was very excited. If his family was still a farmer in the British farm, his children would not have the opportunity to go to school. Although there are civilian colleges in the UK, they are just children's playgrounds and they can't learn anything at all.

Real knowledge and etiquette are in the hands of nobles, and commoners want to learn to emulate?Sorry, you have no chance.

"Tomorrow I'm going to Boston, and the business in New York is entrusted to you. Can you do it well?"

Tommy blushed, "It will be done, boss, don't worry! Even if you throw me into the furnace, I won't be afraid..."

Russell waved his hand, not listening to his loyalty.

The least valuable thing in America is an oath.

The reason why he dared to hand over the gray business to Tommy was to train him to be the person in charge of the industry.

Although the core culture of the United States is betrayal, discrimination, and self-interest...

But Russell is sure that Tommy and others will give up their hearts. As for Tommy's men?That depends on whether Tommy can grasp it himself.

"After I leave, Ruth will visit Mrs. Brown, and the house will be vacant."

Tommy heard the words and said, "I'll send two people over to guard."

Russell said with a smile: "There is nothing valuable in the house, but I have to be on guard."

"Yes, when Sean and I got out of the car just now, we saw two children at the corner of the street, and there were a few young people at the corner of the alley next to it. I suspected that those two children were watchmen, and neither were those young people. Good thing, boss, they're all Jewish..."

"Well, the Jews... the neighborhood here is very chaotic, and it seems that there is some cleaning work to be done."

Tommy said, "Leave it to me, boss, I can do it."

"No, you take care of your own affairs. These Jews are not easy to deal with. They are very independent. Wait for me to come back and deal with it myself."

"Ok."

Tommy responded and continued: "Boss, your house is very spacious. If you need a servant, I'll ask Amani to come over."

Amani is Tommy's wife.

Russell frowned and shook his head: "No, she is your wife. If you let her serve Ruth and me, and treat her as a servant, it will make your people think you are an unscrupulous person."

Tommy said seriously: "Boss, I just want to be an unscrupulous person, and I want everyone to know that I am loyal to you and surrender to you!"

"Hahaha...Tommy, you are becoming more and more like a boss now."

Tommy was taken aback, then smirked and said, "I, I also imitated you, boss, and made a fool of myself."

"I'll give you a piece of advice. Once you enter this line of work, there is no possibility of you quitting. The only thing you can do is clear away all the obstacles in the way ahead, so that you can live in peace, understand?"

"understand!"

In fact, Tommy is very smart. He knows that his wife and daughter will be very dangerous after entering this business, so he took the opportunity to ask his wife to come to the boss, because it is safer than anywhere else.

Of course, it also means to make the boss let go of his guard and send his wife and daughter as hostages.

"The whole of Manhattan has to be in chaos, so you have a chance to make your business boom. What residents recognize is a safe and stable platform, not a place that encounters danger every now and then."

"understand!"

Now Russell's capable subordinate is only Tommy, they have formed a small group, led by Tommy to start a business in Manhattan, Russell provided 5000 US dollars of support when he started his business, this is an investment, and there will be returns in the future.

After Tommy left, Russell picked up the cigar on the ashtray and took two puffs.

Thinking that only Tommy can use it under his subordinates, this is not very good...

Therefore, he believes that he should find two or three people to support him and start a business in Queens or Brooklyn.

This will not only achieve a balance, but also ignite the competitive spirit of several people. When the time comes to compare performance with each other, they will be full of energy.

It's just that there is no one available right now, so you can't support Noodles who is only nine years old, that would be ridiculous.

Chapter 108 A Businessman Can Talk About Anything

The next day, Astor took two servants and business assistants, drove to Brooklyn to pick up Russell, and then went to Boston.

Boston has the oldest public elementary school, Matt School, as well as world-renowned higher education institutes MIT and Harvard University...

At the same time, it is also the birthplace of the American spirit, where the tea party took place, which led to the American Revolutionary War.
