Chapter 32 Dinner Party
The next day, George returned to the villa. He took back his clone and found that there was nothing special, so he took a bath and then rested.
The next day, Tessio came to the door and presented the contract and check again. Today is the last day of June. George came to the company and asked the company's financial staff to help him pay the taxes.
After settling the taxes, he found that Paul and others had not returned yet, so he prepared to go home. However, before leaving, the clerk handed him a piece of information, saying that Paul arranged for them to collect it, and said that it would be given directly to George.<
/p>
George guessed that this should be the information on several industries that he had been asked to collect before.
George returned home and did not go there in the next few days. He just studied information at home. During this period, Lane sent a telegram telling him that Baird had been found and had agreed to come to the United States with him. After handling the affairs in his hometown, he would
Come here.
This was definitely good news for George. He had a few more drinks that night. Three days later, Paul came back. He reported to him that all the debts of the company over there had been paid off, and he left a
Finance, and left 50,000 US dollars for the three of them to continue research and development, waiting for George's next arrangement.
George said, Got it. Then from the bunch of company information collected before, he selected a hair dryer factory, a washing machine factory, a water heater company, an electric fan, and a refrigerator. These five companies. Each company is
For companies that are eligible for listing, George asked Paul to keep an eye on the stocks of these five companies and notify him if they were delisted or bankrupt.
Among these five companies, the others have nothing. In addition to being listed on the market, they have the advantage of complete supporting facilities. George is most concerned about the water heater manufacturer. The current electric water heater has been invented, and it was just this year.
Rheem was established in San Francisco, California.
George put the company's information on it and specifically reminded Paul to contact the company now and ask if they have any financing needs.
Last time, George went to the company and felt that the company environment was a little bad, so he told Paul to choose a new place as the company's office address. He could buy it, and the location should be bigger. The one near the World Trade Center would be good.
Anyway, he doesn’t care about the little money to buy a house now.
It is now July, and the futures price of wheat has dropped to 1.1 US dollars per bushel, but George knows that it can be lower. There is still plenty of time, and he still has time to take his time.
After Paul left, George continued to improve the drawings of the injection molding machine, which looked more like what he had seen in his previous life, with little refinements.
Two days later, he received a call from the old owner of the Winchester family, saying that there was a banquet in New York. It was a dinner for an arms company, and the Winchester company was invited. Old Bennett would bring his successor with him.
, asked George if he wanted to attend together. After George asked clearly about the time and place, he said that he would attend at that time. Then he agreed on a meeting place before hanging up the phone.
Just as George was about to pick up the pen again, another call came, this time from Vito Corleone. When George returned to New York, he did not tell him about his affair with Luciano.
"Hello, George."
"Hello, Vito, what's the matter with your call?"
"Paul, Luciano called just now and said that you left Renault without notifying him. However, he felt very embarrassed. Moreover, he wanted to go and apologize to him in person."
George briefly described the process of meeting Luciano that day, including casino prices, etc.: "Look, I think there will be problems with Luciano's safety if I don't leave. I'm doing it all for him.
Think about it. Why is he trying to beat me up now? Haha, Corleone, help me tell him. If he doesn't apologize, then don't blame me."
"Paul, I'm sorry, I didn't expect him to do this. You went to Reno through my invitation. If something really happens to you, I am also responsible. I will give you an explanation."
"Vito, this matter has nothing to do with you. I took the initiative to ask you for help, so you only need to pass on my words to him, and you don't have to worry about the rest. Since there are people who don't know how to live or die, then I will help you.
If he still treats me as a friend, he will listen to me."
George was really angry. He could have left directly that day. Even if the Jewish gang used any means to stop them, George was confident of wiping them all out. It was just that George had been a good boy for decades in his previous life and was prone to killing people.
Still won’t do it.
On the whole, George himself still has that kind of mentality. He doesn’t think that he should do whatever he wants once he has the ability. I haven’t seen that since George has the ability, except for saving a member of the Hong Gang once, he has never done anything like many of his predecessors.
, I want to be a hero or something.
George just wants to make some money and live a stable life in this era by relying on some things from his previous life. Without Thanos' snap of his fingers, he would never have thought of handing over his abilities to others.
So he has always treated everyone around him with a very normal attitude. However, some people are so shameless! You have attacked me twice, but I have not been too aggressive. Now I want to apologize to you.<
/p>
The ancestors said that it was just a matter of three things. The Jewish gang called Vito and asked him to apologize. George classified it as the third provocation. So, prepare to retaliate.
George did not continue drawing, but put away the things on the table and took out Deadshot's set of equipment. As a human arsenal, Deadshot's ammunition was definitely enough to fight a small war. George put all the firearms,
Perform maintenance, check ammunition and magazines, and then put everything back into the space.
Then I waited quietly in the room until evening, when Vito called again.
"Sorry, George, I didn't expect Luciano to reject your kindness."
"Haha, it doesn't matter, Vito, sometimes it's good to show off your strength appropriately. After working with you in the past few months, plus winning that big sum of money, there must be a lot of jealous people. So, help
I will inform those people that Renault and the Jewish gang will be removed from the group in one week. If you don’t want to die, leave Renault, otherwise no one will be left behind. Anyone who wants my life can also give it a try. Haha"
George also thought about settling the matter, so when the Jewish gang knew that he was supplying drinks to the Corleone family and came to question him, he did not ask who told him. After returning, he did not ask Corleone why anyone knew about his existence.
.
You know, every time George went to deliver wine, he would transform into a bird and fly away. It was only when he was in Washington that Morrie's men and the Corleone family's men in New York knew about George's identity. Although he didn't hide it,
, but if the Jewish gang knew about it, it could only be that there was a problem with the Corleone family.
But it's all a matter of interests. Just like what he said to Vito, if someone is jealous, then he will kill until someone is scared. But isn't the Mafia also a gangster? It just does some dirty work, so even though George is angry
, but it’s understandable. He mainly wanted to establish his prestige through this incident, but unfortunately, the Jewish gang was selected.
After hanging up the phone, Vito Corleone also knew that there might be a problem on his side. Then, he called Tessio.
"Has anyone asked about the origin of drinks recently?"
"Yes, Vito, but I know the severity, and I told my subordinates not to tell anyone about George to outsiders."
"But, now the news has indeed spread from us. Go check it out immediately and find out who betrayed the Corleone family."
"Okay, Vito, I'll give you the news tonight."
After saying that, Tesio left the study.
George, on the other hand, thought about everything again and rested. He slept soundly, but the Corleone family was not peaceful. It was not until late at night that Tessio walked into Vito again.
study, and Vito has been sitting there, as if he has never left.
"It was found out that the strategist of the Bassini family bribed one of my men, and then everyone knew about it."
You see, sometimes it’s just that simple.
"Get rid of the traitor. If the wine business continues next month, divide the profit by 46% and give George 60% of the profit. In addition, after the Basini family's profits are collected this month, all will be given to George together next time. If
If you can still cooperate, don't cooperate with them. I will tell Bassini personally about this."
"Okay, you go down. By the way, spread the news that George will go to Reno next week. Let the interested guys join in the fun."
Vito knew that he could not stop someone who was blinded by money. In that case, the Corleone family would become a public enemy. Therefore, the only choice was for George himself.
The next day, in the evening, at the entrance of the largest hotel in New York, George just got out of his car when he saw Bennett and a young man who had just got out of a Ford car.
"George, long time no see. But don't worry, you are the major shareholder of the company now, and I have never seen you care about it."
"Let me introduce to you, this is Randy Criss, a nice young man." Well, given his age, there is really nothing wrong with calling a man in his thirties a young man.
"Randy, this is the company's major shareholder, George Orwell." Bennett introduced the two to each other.
"Hello, Mr. Orwell, it's a pleasure and an honor to meet you."
"Haha, Mr. Chris is too polite, just call me George. You are the person chosen by Mr. Bennett, and I believe in his vision. Please pay more attention to the company's affairs in the future." After that, the two shook hands.
p>
Bennett said from the side: "Let's go, let's talk inside."
Several people walked towards the banquet hall. When they entered the banquet hall, people recognized Bennett again and came over to greet him.
Bennett also introduced George and Randy to everyone. Everyone was surprised to hear that George was the new shareholder of Winchester and that he was still so young. They were also surprised by which family George came from and had experience in.
He greeted George warmly. Then, George received a bunch of business cards. He also greeted them one by one, because these people might use them in the future, and politeness was something engraved in George's soul in his previous life.
The banquet hadn't started yet, and after everyone had finished saying hello, they went to say hello to the new arrivals.
"How is it? It's very enthusiastic, isn't it?" Bennett teased from the side.
"Yes"
"Haha, you just need to get used to it in the future. The banquet is like this. The small fish will be the first to arrive, and then greet every big fish who comes, and then greet the big people. As long as you do well, you don't have to worry about it.
People will not know you. Haha, some people here will help you, but they always want to benefit from you. You are both still young, and you will have to think more in the future."
The old gentleman was sharing his experience with the two of them. The two quickly thanked him and said that they had learned a lesson.
"George, come here with me."
The two of them walked to a remote corner.
"George, I don't know if you have the idea of taking up all the shares in my hand. To tell you the truth, my physical condition is not very good anymore, and I can't sit in this position for long. If you
If I think Randy is good, I will hand over the position to him after I abdicate. Including some of my connections. Furthermore, the recent economic turmoil has meant that the family has to shrink funds, and many assets are no longer able to support it."
George thought for a while and realized that he only had 4 million out before. Then he really had no money. Now he has collected two months of wine money and has more than 3 million in the bank. He can completely invest the remaining shares.
Eat them all. Since Winchester is no longer optimistic about this property, there is nothing wrong with taking it over.
Then he said: "Mr. Bennett, if you want to sell your shares, of course I am willing to take over. In that case, I will ask Paul to bring the check and go back to the company with you tomorrow to go through the formalities. The shares will still be valued at 6 million.
How's it going?"
Bennett, shook George's hand and said: "Thank you, George."
