Chapter 114: War Cloud

"Haha, well done, I knew that guy was not Sicilian." After returning to the house of the Corleone family in Long Beach, New York, after listening to Shen Long's report on how to deal with Waltz, the old godfather said happily, "No "Sicilian" means that Waltz is a seedless man and it is impossible to fight back decisively like a Sicilian.
"That letter was also sent out, I believe it will be answered soon." Shen Long did not wait for a reply in Hollywood. He knew the ability of Xiulan Deng Boer's friend. As long as he wanted, he could not find him in the United States. Less people.
"His recent situation does not seem to be very good, I hope our decision this time is correct." Such a major decision, the old godfather is not easy to measure the gains and losses.
"He is only 50 years old this year, and he will have at least 20 years of power in the future, and establishing a relationship with him will be of great benefit to us." Shen Long knew, however, that the guy didn't withdraw from the stage until the 1970s.
"Well, Fredo, you have made a lot of progress this time. Maybe you should arrange some more important work for you in the future." The godfather nodded and said nothing more. This will be a long-term plan, and there are more now. The urgent task, "Tom, come and tell us something about Solozzo."
"Although everyone calls him a Turk, there is no doubt that this guy is an out-and-out Sicilian." Tom Hegen said punically, Solozo was not as easy to deal with as Waltz, "People all There are two reasons for calling him a Turk. He stayed in Turkey for a long time. It is said that he also has Turkish wives and children. In addition, he is also very good at using Turkish knives. "
"He has been in jail twice, once in Italy and once in the United States. The authorities think he is a drug dealer. This is very beneficial to us. If there is a business problem, we can completely push him over; he has in the United States. Wife and three children, he is a person with a strong family concept, as long as we can help him take care of his family, he will take all the responsibilities. "Tom ’s intelligence work is very good, and he is very clear about the details of Solozzo. .
The old godfather did not directly express his opinion, but asked his child, he is now 53 years old, it is time to consider the next generation of heirs, "Santino, talk about your ideas."
"This is a big deal, if we only provide protection and capital, and do not intervene in specific business, we can avoid most risks." Santino was attracted by the prospects of the drug trade.
"Tom, how about you?" The old godfather turned his gaze to his military division.
"I agree that the Tatalya family has already intervened, and if other families also intervene, they will soon be able to get huge profits from this, and then use the money to buy more political resources and police, so that we will fall into Passive. "Tom Hagen considered the future of the family.
The old godfather stood up and took a sip of cigar. "Fredo, please talk about it."
"The reason why the Corleone family can stand above other families, in addition to our own strength, is more important that we have more political resources than other families, and once we participate in the drug trade, these political resources We will immediately draw a line with us, we can not take this risk. "Shen Long expressed opposition, which is where the godfather worried.
"In addition, I think that it is not just the Tatalya family who is standing behind Solozzo. The power of the Tatalian family alone is not enough to host such a big business." The Tatalian family is the strength of the five major families in New York. The weakest, mainly engaged in the skin and meat business, behind them is the Basilini family, which is second only to the Corleone family. The old Basilini hides himself very well, and the Corleone family is overwhelmed.
Santino was about to speak up and was stopped by the godfather. He sighed, "When will tomorrow meet the lawless guy?"
"He will come here at ten o'clock tomorrow." Tom replied that he thought the godfather was tempted.
"Then the three of you will come together." The old godfather went to the door after he finished, pretending to tell Tom casually, "Is there one missing in your information, and before the war, Solozzo made a living by operating a brothel, just like a tower The Thalia family is doing the same now. "
Tom Hegan blushed. He thought that this was irrelevant, and the godfather was particularly conservative in the relationship between men and women. He was afraid that mentioning it would make the godfather's impression of Solozo worse, which would affect the negotiation.
Don't miss any detail, and don't let those things that you don't like to influence your decision-making. Shen Long also saw a precious quality in the old godfather.
In the second day of negotiations, Shen Long saw Solozzo, who was strong and had dark eyes, and he knew he was a dangerous person at first glance.
Solozo went straight to EbookFREE.me ~ and made his request. The Corleone family provided two million dollars of funds and political asylum, which allowed his people to come out of prison soon after the failure. For this reason, he Willing to pay 50% of the profit. According to this standard, the Corleone family can get a profit of three or four million dollars in the first year, and it will increase every year thereafter.
Santino was deeply moved by this number, but the godfather refused without hesitation. The reason given was exactly the same as Shen Long said yesterday. This business is too sensitive and will make him lose those precious political resources.
Solozzo was a little disappointed. His eyes fluttered around the room, trying to get help from Santino, Tom or Shen Long. He did n’t believe that anyone would be uncomfortable seeing so much money.
"Are you worried that those two million will not be guaranteed?" Solozo thought he had found the reason.
"No?" The godfather shook his head.
"The Tatalya family will provide a guarantee, and they will guarantee that your investment will not be damaged." Solozo emphasized.
The godfather had n’t answered yet, and Santino could n’t wait to interject,
The Tatalya family guarantees the security of our investment, then wo n’t they ask us for a deposit?

Shen Long sighed silently. Santino was too impulsive. He made an unforgivable mistake. As soon as this sentence was said, war could no longer be avoided.
The old godfather looked at Santino with fierce and cruel eyes. He was inexplicable, but he was still scared by the old man's eyes. A flash of light flashed in Soroso's eyes, and for the first time, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
"I spoiled my children. They always love to intervene; I wish you all the best in your business. This business does not conflict with my business. Sorry, I let you down." The godfather asked Tom to send Solow Zuo left, and Solozzo was expressionless when he left.
