Chapter 105： : Strong connections

new York.

Corleone Manor.

The old godfather is listening to the economist and his son Tom, reporting on the operation of the gang.

After listening to the report, the old godfather suddenly remembered something and asked: "How are Mike's TVs selling now?"

Tom was taken aback for a moment.

"I have inquired that a dozen units can be sold every day."

The old godfather smacked his lips. "The production line produces 120 units a day, and can only sell a dozen units a day. If this continues, it will accumulate a lot of products and hold down a large amount of money. He can't support it for too long."

Tom said: "Mike has been running sales these days, I believe his ability will improve."

The old godfather nodded without speaking.

Just then the phone on the desk rang.

Tom looked at the old godfather and picked up the microphone. "This is Corleone's house. Who is it?"

"Hello, this is Jon Hardy, I hope to find Mr. Vito Corleone." Hardy said.

Tom covered the microphone and looked at the old godfather: "Foster father, it's Jon Hardy in Los Angeles, the man who worked with Mike."

The old godfather nodded, "I heard it."

After he reached out his hand, Tom quickly passed the phone.

"I'm Vito."

Hardy's tone became respectful, "Good afternoon Mr. Corleone, take the liberty to call you this."

"Hehe, don't be presumptuous, I remember you came to my birthday party and gave me a gift. I like the silver plate very much." The old godfather said with a smile.

"I called you today, I have something to ask you for help, I hope you can help solve it." Hardy said.

"you said."

"Mr. Meyer of MGM and I invested in a movie called "This Killer Isn't Too Cold". It is now shot in New York, but an accident happened two days ago and the film administration stopped the shooting. "

"Mayer asked someone to coordinate. The other party asked for $100,000. There may be other families in New York, and some of them are difficult to solve."

"So I ask for help, and hope you will help."

"Okay, let me know about this." The godfather replied after hearing Hardy's words.

The old godfather's face was always calm, he had encountered too many things, and what Hardy said was completely trivial to him.

"I am going to New York in these two days, and I will visit you at that time." Hardy said.

"Okay, come to the house for dinner then." The old godfather said kindly.

hang up the phone,

The old godfather looked at his son Tom, "Tom, you can investigate this matter to see who is in charge of the film administration and which family is doing this."

"Good foster father." Tom took the order and went out immediately.

Only the old godfather remained in the study.

The kitten jumped into his arms, and the godfather hugged it and stroked it gently.

I remembered that Siegel brought that little guy that day.

On that day, he only thought that Hardy was a very promising subordinate of Siegel, and brought him to the party to meet the world.

Unexpectedly, that little Hardy guy later became friends with Mike, and the two also established a TV factory.

One million investment,

It's definitely not a small sum of money.

This made the old godfather pay attention to Hardy.

Send someone to conduct a detailed investigation of Hardy's past.

Fighting hero.

Wounded and discharged from the army.

The experience is very similar to Mike, no wonder the two quickly become friends because they have a common experience.

Later, he joined Siegel's Jewish gang. Although he had no reputation in the gang, he became Siegel's confidant in a short time.

Later, what Hardy did was even more remarkable.

He even formed a gang himself, and he did not become the manager, but pushed out his brother named Bill, and he was hidden behind the scenes.

No matter who investigates him now, he is an innocent businessman.

Later, HD Security was formed, and a bank robbery was used to make a small, unknown company known to all of the United States.

Now there are four or five companies under his name.

I can tell,

Hardy is a very intelligent guy.

He admired him from the heart.

If compared, his eldest son and second son are much worse than Hardy, so Mike can be compared with Hardy.

Fortunately, they became friends.

The old godfather was very pleased with this.

To survive in society, you need friends. Mike can have such friends, which is very good for his future.

He would like to see his son have a bright and capable friend like Hardy.

Two hours later.

The phone in the old Godfather’s villa rang. Tom called. He told the old Godfather the results of the investigation.

"Foster father, this matter was brought up by the Tartaglia family. Buno, the son of Philippe, the patriarch of Tartaglia, has a film company. The MGM crew came to New York and rented it from that film company. The stuntman and the blaster, there was a blasting scene yesterday. The blaster put more explosives, causing two stuntmen to be injured. Buno took the opportunity to ask for 100,000 US dollars."

"I also inquired about the film management department. Someone did say hello to them, and it was before the incident. This matter is definitely premeditated."

"How are the two injured people, are they serious?" the old godfather asked:

"One suffered a broken leg, and the other suffered multiple traumas. It took dozens of stitches, but it was able to recover." Tom said.

"I know."

The old godfather hung up after speaking.

He thought for a while and dialed the phone number of the patriarch Tatakilia. The two chatted a few words first, and finally the old godfather said: "I heard that your son Buno opened a film company. There was an accident in the past two days. , And wounded two people."

"I am not very clear about this matter."

Philip, the head of Tartaglia, was a little surprised when he heard it. He really didn't know about it.

"The crew was invested by a very good friend of mine. No one wants to see the accident. Let the crew compensate the two injured people with $2,000 each for medical expenses, and take good care of them. I will speak up from the film management department. Hello, let them start shooting again." The old godfather said.

Philip was also an old fox, so he naturally heard what the old godfather meant.

"Well, I'll talk to Bueno about this matter. I don't think it should be a big deal." Philip said.

His words basically agreed to the old godfather's conditions.

Hanging up the phone with Philip, the old godfather called the deputy mayor in charge of the film management department. The two talked and laughed for a long time. The old godfather talked about the crew and the deputy mayor immediately said that he would ask about the film management. department.

The producers sent by Hitchcock and MGM are smoking in the hotel. Now the filming of the crew has been stopped, they are very anxious.

"This accident was definitely deliberate by the blaster. The accident took the opportunity to blackmail and cost 100,000 U.S. dollars to injure two people. This is simply a robbery." The producer said indignantly.

"Yes, they are robbery, and they robbery like this, we can't call the police yet." Hitchcock sighed.

The other party's attitude is very tough, and the identity of the gang is faintly revealed, which makes Hitchcock and MGM producers very worried.

Now American gangs are very rampant, and the mafia is the leader of all gangs. No one dares to provoke them. They only hope that the big boss Meyer can use his strong connections to solve this matter as soon as possible.

It's already six o'clock in the afternoon.

The two have no appetite.

At this moment, the phone in the room suddenly rang, and the producer got close to the phone and picked it up easily, "This is the killer crew, who are you looking for?"

"I'm the film management office, I will inform you now that you can shoot normally from tomorrow."

The producer was stunned.

"Ah~really?"

He couldn't believe it, the matter was solved?

"Of course it is true. We will send a penalty letter tomorrow morning. In view of your accident, your crew will be fined $200. I hope that there will be no more accidents." The other party said again.

The producer affirmed this time.

Excitement can't be added.

"Thank you, thank you, we accept the punishment."

"See you tomorrow."

"See you tomorrow."

The producer put down the phone and looked at the director Hitchcock excitedly, "Director, the matter has been resolved, the administration said that it will be fined $200, and normal filming will begin tomorrow."

Hitchcock is also overjoyed.

Stopping the crew for a day is not a matter of hundreds of dollars.

"Great, I'm going to let the crew prepare and start it on time tomorrow." He thought of something here, and asked: "Where is the stuntman?"

The producer was taken aback.

He doesn't know either.

Just then the phone rang again.

This time it was the person in charge of the company that they were looking for before, the blaster and stuntman, the producer was still a little bit worried, and he exchanged a few words with the other party. The person in charge said: "Our actor is injured, and the medical expenses are added. I hope that the crew will pay 2,000 US dollars for the subsequent lost work expenses. What do you think."

2000.

Hearing this digital producer was shocked.

Before, it was 100,000.

Now it only costs 2000, so there is no hesitation. He immediately agreed, and he sent the money back.

Put down the phone,

The producer still couldn't believe it.

The matter was solved in this way, and the result was countless times better than he expected.

It should be the relationship that the big boss Meyer was looking for. The boss is amazing. He picked up the phone and called Meyer's home.

The call is connected.

The producer said happily: "Boss, you are really amazing, the matter was resolved so quickly."

Meyer was taken aback.

He didn't understand what his subordinate said.

Just listen to the producer continue: "First, the film administration called, the other party informed us that we can start normally tomorrow, because there was an accident in the shooting, the penalty was 200 US dollars."

"Later, the film company also called for the two stuntmen who were injured in the bombing to pay $2,000 each."

"Boss, your network is really strong. I didn't expect it to be resolved so quickly, and let the Mafia family in New York directly let go."

The producer flattered.

Meyer was a little dazed.

Find someone by yourself?

He was sure that this matter was definitely not solved by the person he asked for.

He suddenly thought of Hardy.

He told Hardy about this before, and Hardy said he would give it a call.

Could it be that Hardy asked someone to solve it.

So easy to solve,

What a strong network Hardy has in New York! ! !
