Chapter 156 The Casino is Completed

"As you grow up, you will find that one of your two hands is for self-help, and the other is for helping others. When I am able, I hope to provide whatever I can to those in need. Help; in the United States, I also have a similar foundation. In addition, my family and I have also made donations to many universities.” Foundations are a good means of laundering money and avoiding taxes, and donating to universities is conducive to getting to know more upper-class people. Being a social figure can also help one's own people enter university more conveniently, which is also of great benefit to the Corleone family's future talent training.

Don’t worry if your hands get dirty, just wash them in time. Your hands will still be clean and flawless when they appear in public. Since capitalists like Rockefeller who directly used the army to deal with striking workers can be cleansed and become good people through charity, why can’t the Corleone family Can?

In the last two movies of "The Godfather", Mike has been committed to cleaning up his name. Shen Long does not agree with many of the methods, but the general direction is still right. Not many mafia families can continue forever. They must either clean up their names or be killed. Instead, there is no third option.

Audrey Hepburn was moved again. She felt that this sentence spoke to her heart. She knew that this sentence was originally her own famous saying. How could she fail to use Hepburn's words to impress Hepburn?

"But charity is not just about donating money. I also need a local who is familiar with the Netherlands and ballet to help me manage this fund. Dear Mrs. Hepburn, I don't know if I have the honor to invite you to serve as this director." Where is the person in charge of the foundation? I believe that with your ability and social connections, you will be able to complete this task easily." Mrs. Hepburn has the title of Baroness, and her previous husband was a banker, so she has both abilities and social connections.

"It is also an honor for me to be able to help children." Mrs. Hepburn nodded slightly and agreed to Shen Long's invitation in the reserved and tactful language used by nobles.

Shen Long didn't say anything about salary and benefits. This was not appropriate to mention directly in front of a noble. Even though Mrs. Hepburn was now in such a state that she only had one name left, it would be fine for everyone to understand these things tacitly. The foundation would naturally take care of it when the time comes. Give her a deal that will allow her to live a comfortable and decent life in the Netherlands.

"Next, I will go to Sicily to see Johnny and the others' filming progress, and then return to the United States. I think if it is convenient, it would be best for Audrey to go to Hollywood with me. Although she is extremely talented, she has not received any formal training before. , and has relatively little performance experience, so it is best to get professional training in advance, and I will help her arrange the best teacher." Shen Long asked tentatively, if everything goes well, the mother and daughter can be separated temporarily.

"Audrey has never left home alone, and now she is going to the United States on the other side of the ocean." Mrs. Hepburn was a little hesitant. She also wanted to accompany Hepburn, but what would the foundation do in this case?

"Mom, don't worry, wasn't I always in boarding school when I was a child?" Audrey Hepburn advised. Although she was reluctant to let go of her mother, she was not willing to lose this opportunity, let alone let those children with poor economic conditions endure for a long time. wait.

"I think it can be arranged like this. You can use this time to complete the preliminary work of the foundation, and then go to the United States with Audrey to see Hollywood and her teachers. When you are relieved, you can return to the Netherlands to host the foundation. , in a year or two at most, the foundation will be on the right track, and then you won’t have to stay in the Netherlands all the time, you can go to the United States to live with Audrey." Shen Long suggested.

In this way, Mrs. Hepburn can rest assured that she can also get one or two years of alone time with Audrey Hepburn. Everyone knows that a girl will inevitably feel lonely when she is alone and needs someone's comfort and care. This is why so many One of the reasons why girls are particularly eager for love as soon as they go to college.

In a year or two, I should be able to capture Audrey Hepburn, and by then I won't have to worry about Mrs. Hepburn coming to the United States from the Netherlands.

"Fredo, you are such a gentleman, you are so considerate!" These words left the Hepburn mother and daughter completely speechless. It can be said that every detail was taken into consideration.

"Thank you for your compliment. I will take my leave now. I will arrange for someone to come over and communicate with you about the foundation later." Shen Long said goodbye politely.

The next day, Shen Long's business elite came, and Mrs. Hepburn also considerately allowed Audrey Hepburn to accompany Shen Long around Anheng and visit the local beauty; by the time they came back, the matter had been settled. , it can be seen from the smile on Mrs. Hepburn's face that she is very satisfied with the scale of the foundation and her own treatment.

Shen Long gave them a few days of alone time so that they could prepare individually, and he went to Sicily to follow the filming progress of "Cinema Paradiso". Johnny now has a sufficient budget, and the crew is all elite talents. We had the local people and locations, and the filming went very smoothly.

"James Huang's skills are really great. He will definitely win the Oscar for Best Cinematography with this film!" Johnny said to Shen Long excitedly.

"He does have this ability. When the awards season comes, I will fight for you." Shen Long wants to win a certain statuette for someone now, which is much easier than it will be for Weinstein in the future.

Shen Long chatted with Huang Zongzhan alone and tested his relationship with Hongmen. The result was not beyond Shen Long's expectation. Although he was not a member of Hongmen, he did know a few people who were members of Hongmen. Influential people; Shen Long wrote these down one by one and asked Huang Zongzhan to help spread a message. He wanted to chat with these people.

Huang Zongzhan also vaguely knew a little bit about the Lyon family's business in pediatrics, and thought it was some cooperation in the underground world. He agreed without any special suspicion, and after he completed the filming and returned to the United States, he went to contact Shen Long.

After a trip to Europe, he established several new smuggling routes, negotiated business in several countries, and most importantly, met Audrey Hepburn. Shen Long was very happy.

After leaving Sicily, he returned to the Netherlands, picked up Hepburn and her daughter and flew to Hollywood, rented a large house for them in Beverly Hills, and then invited some of the most outstanding female teachers in Hollywood to help O'Day. Lee Hepburn studied, and both mother and daughter were very satisfied.
