"Feredo, you have done a good job. I believe in friendship and am willing to express my friendship first. Now that you have shown your friendship to Hoover, it is time to continue to enhance friendship." The godfather said quietly. Listening to Shen Long's words, he originally thought he would be at a loss when dealing with people like Hoover, but he didn't expect him to do so well.

"After some time, I will give Mr. Hoover another piece of information, which will contain evidence of contact between an important member of the President's staff and Elizabeth Bentley," Shen Long continued.

"Be careful. One thing I've learned all my life is to be careful. Women and children can be careless, but men can't, especially when dealing with people like Hoover. But you don't have to worry. Politics and crime are the same thing. Finance is the gun, politics is the hand that pulls the trigger." The godfather thought he could try to give him a more important job.

So he called Tom Hagen and asked him to show Shen Long the plan he compiled some time ago. Tom Hagen was stunned for a moment, took out a thick piece of information from his briefcase, and began to explain it to Shen Long.

"The godfather received a flower basket from Johnny Fontane two days ago. He was very happy that Johnny still knew how to be grateful; so the godfather decided to provide Johnny with greater help and promoted him to the best actor in this year's awards season. After the filming of the film is completed, we will convince those association members who have the right to vote."

"In addition, the Godfather does not want Johnny to be controlled by people like Waltz anymore. The Corleone family will provide Johnny with a loan of 20 million US dollars through the bank to support him in establishing his own film studio."

The capital invested by the godfather was quite large. The current U.S. dollar is directly linked to gold. It is about thirty-five U.S. dollars per ounce of gold. Twenty million U.S. dollars is equivalent to about 17.8 tons of gold. When Shen Long came, it was worth almost one billion U.S. dollars. .

"You make preparations in New York first, and when the filming of Johnny's movie is over, you go to Hollywood to work on this matter." The godfather pointed at Shen Long with a cigar-holding finger, "Fredo, this matter is important to me. Family is important."

"Understood." Shen Long nodded. This is not just a matter of the godfather being optimistic about the development of the film market and trying to make a fortune. More importantly, through the film, the money that the Corleone family has obtained from the black market, casinos, smuggling and other channels can be completely eliminated. Clean up and prepare for family transformation.

In the last two works of "The Godfather", the new godfather Mike has been committed to washing away the gangster imprint of the Corleone family. Obviously this is not his decision alone. The old godfather has already begun to consider these things at this time, and first joined the underworld. It was a last resort. Now that the Corleone family had made enough money, it was time to enter the upper class.

Entering Hollywood is a good choice. In early Hollywood, just like Hong Kong in the future, it was a very common and effective method for gangs to launder funds by making movies. Moreover, the Corleone family controlled many guilds in Hollywood and had extensive influence there. With such influence, even the former king of Hollywood, MGM General Manager Meyer, did not dare to offend them easily.

"But what about Sollozzo? Obviously he is not a guy who gives up easily." What if he leaves New York for Hollywood and the Corleone family is attacked by enemies like in the original novel?

"Luka has already been in contact with Bruno Tartaglia. He is the son of Philippe Tartaglia and has an important position in the family. If Sollozzo makes any moves, I will know about it." The headquarters of the Lyon family, and with an undercover agent ambushed within the enemy, the godfather was very relieved.

But the enemy is not just the Sollozzo and Tartaglia families, Bassini is the real mastermind behind the scenes. In the movie, it is not until after Mike kills Sollozzo and the five major families hold a meeting that the godfather realizes it through Bassini’s speech. At this point, he still doesn't know who his real enemy is.

"Okay, I will take care of this." Shen Long thought about it but still didn't say anything. At present, Bassini has not shown his fox tail. It is useless no matter how much he says. He can only act according to the situation.

Moreover, things in Hollywood are equally important. This is a test for himself by the godfather. Santino is obviously not a suitable person to inherit the family business. If he performs well this time, his weight in the heart of the godfather will be greatly enhanced.

In the next period of time, Shen Long learned about the family's internal affairs while studying Hollywood information of this era. About a month later, when the movie starring Johnny Fontane was about to be completed, Willy Chichi, Ya Bert Neri and Rocco Rapone returned from vacation and came back to New York to report to him.

"How was the game?" Shen Long received them in his house.

"It's great." It was the first time for these three guys to experience such a luxurious experience. When they talked about it, their faces showed excitement, but they could still control their emotions and didn't talk too much.

Very good. This shows that none of the three of them will be bribed with money as easily as Pauli Gatto. Shen Long secretly analyzed their reactions, "There will be many opportunities like this in the future. Now, we should consider work issues. "

Hearing this, the three of them straightened their backs subconsciously and waited quietly for Shen Long's instructions.

"My godfather gave me a task. I may be in Hollywood for a while, but I still can't let go of things in New York. You must also know that our negotiations with Sollozzo have broken down." Shen Long had already thought about how to arrange them. He said, "Rocco, you stay in New York, help me keep an eye on the situation in New York, and report to me at any time."

Rocco Rapone has the most delicate mind and is also the best at dealing with people. It is perfect to leave this job to him.

"Don't worry, I guarantee there will be no omissions." Rocco Lapon said calmly.

"Albert, I will give you a sum of money. You can use the money to treat your old colleagues in the police department to drinks and build a good relationship with them. If you find that someone from the Sollozzo or Tartaglia family is colluding with the police to try to It's not good for the family. Don't act without authorization. You must report to me first." Albert Neri is a good policeman and is very respected within the police station.

Albert didn't like to talk, so he just nodded slightly.

"Weili, you go to Hollywood with me to protect my safety." After all, he was the one who accused Mike in court, and Shen Long wanted to keep him close to him and observe carefully.
