Chapter 148: Fredo-Don-Corleone

"Last year, Solozzo approached me and talked about a business matter, asking me for funding and political resources." The godfather talked about the roots of the recent war. "This business involves drugs. As we all know, those politics The characters have always disliked drugs. If I participate in this business, it will greatly damage the friendship that I have operated for many years. I believe Zaluqi will understand. "Zaluqi nodded. He is now keen on whitewashing. I don't like drugs either.
Vincent Fleur nodded slightly, and he understood the thoughts of these politicians. The patriarchs of other families had different expressions. Obviously, some people have long wanted to do this profitable business.
"I do n’t like this business, but I have n’t stopped Solozzo from starting this business in New York. He can seek political protection through other channels. Bassini is not without these resources; I am a reasonable person, and people Doing business always pays attention to your own wishes, you can't force others to do business with you that will definitely damage his interests. "The godfather spread his hands.
"But they do not seem to be willing to reason with Soroso and Tattalia. Bassini, Strazi and Cuneo also support them. Anyway, when the business is done, only the Corleone family loses It ’s only interest, so they provoke war, and after more than a decade of peace, New York is in chaos again. "
The godfather took a sip of cigars, "They can decide when the war begins, but they can't help when they end. Now you also see that they have encountered an unfortunate ending. Again I have to declare that it is all they asked for. , The Corleone family will never allow others to harm our family! "
There was silence at the scene, and several big brothers twisted their bodies unconsciously. The decisiveness and fierceness of the Corleone family exceeded their expectations. More importantly, they had some business dealings with the family such as Basini before this. I do n’t know if this business will continue after their death. In addition, the godfather will take this opportunity to expand his influence.
"Now, all kinds of misfortunes have passed, I have no intention of continuing to expand the war, and your business can still be guaranteed; I believe everyone has also seen how much the war has affected New York's business. It is undoubtedly stupid to choose war The decision. "The godfather ’s words made everyone a little relieved." I have a few decisions. "
"First of all, the Corleone family does not want to dominate New York. Tecio and Clementine will be separated from the Corleone family from now on and become independent families. They will take over part of the business in New York." The strength will be weakened. Although Tessio and Clementine will definitely continue to be influenced by the Corleone family in the future, it will definitely be different after independence and before independence.
"Also, I am old and hurt before. My energy has not allowed me to take charge of the family business for a long time. Fredo will take my place. I will gradually be released from family affairs in the future. Live like a real old man. "The godfather pointed to Shen Long, and Shen Long stood up.
"Freddo is a good guy. He did a great job in Las Vegas." Morinari on the West Coast took the lead in applauding. He was well aware of the process of reaching an agreement between the Corleone family and Mo Green. Appreciate.
"Vito, you can do it for a few more years." Zaluzzi of Detroit is a little bit reluctant, or more considering that after the godfather retires, his family can still borrow the political resources from the godfather, but his son Those who want to enter the political arena.
But more people still expressed their welcome, and at the same time they were relieved. The pressure of the old godfather was too great for him. His retirement was a good thing for them; of course, it ’s not that nobody thought about it. The young man killed the people of the four major family heads of Solozzo and New York. Is he really better than the godfather?
"Fredo, tell everyone a few words." The big guy proposed to let Shen Long speak.
Shen Long was also very kind, "Although the Corleone family won this war, we also suffered huge losses. This made me see the appeal of the drug trade to various families. No one can refuse such a high amount. Profit, so from now on, the Corleone family will contribute some resources to provide protection for this trade, but we will not personally participate in this business. "Li Wei's things are done by the godfather, and the things of grace are It was handled by Shen Long, which was already discussed.
Shen Long did not have any moral pressure to sell drugs to Americans. Compared with the number of them sold to Chinese people before, what is this?
Ken offered political protection and did not participate in this business in person. The big brothers were immediately happy. Even Zaluqi, who has always hated this business, did not speak. Before that, he will give his subordinates an additional part of the salary Let them refuse the drug trade, but the effect is very bad, he also realized that this business is unstoppable.
More people are even beginning to thank Basini and Tattalia that they are dead, or else there will be four more families to share the business, the meeting becomes relaxed and happy, everyone is divided into each other's forces excitedly Scope; Shen Long also took the opportunity to request that the Corleone family want to participate more deeply in the business of Las Vegas and Hollywood.
Since taking advantage of the Corleone family, other families are certainly not easy to refuse, this matter was successfully settled, and then the godfather suggested that Las Vegas be an open city, UU reading www.uukanshu. No one is allowed to commit crimes here. In short, this is a successful conference, a victory conference, and the United States gangs are once again united closely.
Back in the family, the core members of the Corleone family got together. Compared to before, this time there were three more Rocco Rapon, Albert Neri, and Power Chichi.
The godfather announced his decision, the independent Kleimansha and Tessio were grateful, they all got a much bigger site than before the war, of course, the most valuable that they left behind Part of the property still belongs to the Corleone family, such as the buildings on Wall Street, such as the banks and unions they control.
Santino was a bit depressed. For a long time in the past, he thought that the position of the old godfather would be left to him, but he also had to admit that in this battle that determined the fate of the family, someone did more than he did. Okay; in addition, Carlo ’s affairs also made him feel headache. He could n’t retaliate, but what would Connie do after the revenge?
The people dispersed one after another, and only Tom and Rocco were left in the house. Rocco Labon took the lead and kissed Shen Long ’s ring, saying, "Dear Fredo Don- Corleone ... "
