"Why?"

"William, give me a satisfactory reason."

The godfather leaned back leisurely on a sofa and put his hands flat, "Is it because the barrier between you and me has not been lifted? You are already a mature young man."

In the past two days, he felt that he had not talked to William much, but he could detect the changes in his maturity from his subtle behaviors, which were very different from before. It was a pity that as a father, he did not witness the growth of his child.

It made him feel a little regretful and self-blame.

"You misunderstood what I meant." Chen Jun shook his head, "I just simply can't adapt to the family circle. This is very strange to me, and I want to leave."

"This is your home!" Godfather Vito Corleone emphasized the last word and stared at him.

"I will always regard him as my support!" He looked at him.

"Are your brothers and sisters here, as well as your blood relatives?"

"They all have their own circles. Sonny is in your organization, Fred is by your side handling official duties, Connie is busy with the sweetness of her wedding, and Mike is traveling around with his girlfriend. I also have my own circle, which is not there

here."

"So?" Godfather suddenly stood up, "You want to go back to Los Angeles, California, to go back to school? Do your publishing job that earns two to three hundred dollars a month? Fall in love with various girlfriends? You are about to graduate!"

In the eyes of outsiders, the godfather is a man who expresses his emotions and anger, but in the eyes of his family, he is sometimes a grumpy little old man.

He would lose his temper when his daughter Connie chose the wrong son-in-law, be angry when his son Mike joined the army, be happy when his godson Johnny traveled thousands of miles to visit him, and scold Johnny for being irresponsible to his family.

"You know, I'm proud of you for being able to live independently. It reminds me of when I was young. I don't like to interfere with your individual choices, such as college majors, futures, etc., but I'm angry that you don't cooperate with me.

I discuss it and make a decision privately!"

Godfather Vito Corleone said very patiently, his face returned to calm.

"This time I didn't make a private decision like last time. I'm discussing it with you so that you can agree."

Chen Jun made a wisecrack and took a deep breath, "I can't always be under your wing. I should have my own development."

This sentence is very broad and can be understood in any way, but in the eyes of the godfather who cares about his family, there is not much answer, "What are your plans? I can make arrangements for you."

"Don't rush to reject my kindness. I believe you can understand the cruelty of this world after the cold looks you received when asking for salary in the past three years."

"The surname Corleone not only carries the honor and responsibility behind it, but it can also bring you a shortcut to success faster."

Quan Quan's love for him was beyond words, and Chen Jun felt ashamed of his scheming godfather.

How could he refuse? Isn't this exactly what he wants?

Pretending to be reserved and hesitant for a moment, he said, "Can you tell me about the industries in your family that I can choose from?"

The Godfather mentioned many industries such as wine, olive oil, law firms, banks, guilds, etc. These are the basic businesses of the Corleone family under the sun. For example, olive oil is a monopoly in the United States, law firms, and guilds are the interface between upper-level law and politics.

Resources, the bank is family-controlled.

Chen Jun was a little regretful. The godfather did not talk about the gang industry, or even the gray matter of gambling. This is the base where the Corleone family is rooted in the dark world. To complete the mission, these must be cut off, and he is not yet qualified to touch it.

Discover these secrets.

"Newspaper business!"

He talked about a godfather's mouth shot at the end of the family business.

"The reason you specifically chose it is because it's also in Los Angeles?" The godfather's tone was low and a little disappointed. He wanted his younger son William to embark on a career in politics.

"I don't deny that this is part of the reason."

"But this is not the main thing. First of all, I studied economics and theater history at the University of Southern California. I have contributed articles to many newspapers in the past three years. I understand this industry."

"Second, I think you may have underestimated the potential of this industry. It is no worse than law firms and banks. On the contrary, it is vital to our family."

"Oh, what do you think?"

Godfather Vito Corleone's eyes lit up and he suddenly became interested.

"The newspaper industry is the cornerstone of the media. It involves two aspects, public opinion and influence!"

Chen Jun took out the theoretical viewpoints of later generations that he had drafted long ago and spoke slowly.

In fact, in this era before the birth of the Internet, newspapers are one of the few sharp weapons that can manipulate the public. This weapon is not only the body of the Corleone family, but also the explosive that makes countless people avoid it. The Godfather has a lot of it.

A disturbing secret.

The godfather's eyes became brighter and brighter, and gradually evolved into a kind of compelling sharpness. He never thought that a small newspaper industry could have such a great effect, it was really useful.

Suddenly, his eyes changed, "Have you already thought of your plan?"

Chen Jun nodded.

Seeing this, the godfather did not pursue further, "How much capital do you need to operate?"

"One million dollars!"

This is not a small amount. World War II has just ended, and the current per capita salary is only about 300. According to the pegged gold-dollar rate, the amount he quoted will be at least 15 million US dollars in future generations.

"I will give you 2 million, and you can withdraw it from the family bank!"

So heroic!

Chen Jun couldn't help but admire in his heart, and the godfather asked again, "It must be at that newspaper office in Los Angeles? Can't it be in New York?"

"I can also purchase several newspapers for you to run, which can affect our surrounding areas."

Of course, but Chen Jun is not satisfied with just being the controller of a newspaper.

If you want to pursue excitement, then follow through to the end.

Set a small goal, media tycoon!

Didn't Murdoch start his career in newspapers? He gradually spread to television, movies, radio, publishing, records, etc.

In Los Angeles, there is a film and television production mecca like Hollywood, massive newspaper publishing resources, and many companies and media talents. This advantage cannot be ignored.

He politely rejected the godfather's proposal, "There are rich media resources there. Compared with New York, which has Wall Street, the financial and business atmosphere here is stronger, and there are more advantages over there."

"Don't worry, I guarantee you that within half a year, you will see that newspaper appearing in your garden mailbox."

The godfather nodded, not forcing his younger son's interest, and watched him leave with a smile.

After closing the door, he dialed the private hotline. After a long time, he said, "Hagen, are you handling it well over there?"

Tom Hagen's hand holding the phone trembled. Thinking of the inexperienced movie tycoon, he had a headache. He said bitterly, "It's being processed."

"Well, take it easy for a moment. William is going back to Los Angeles. You need to find two powerful bodyguards for him who have no foundation and are trustworthy."

"By the way, I want to acquire several newspapers in New York. You can discuss this matter when you come back."

The next day, after explaining some things to Luca, he got on a plane bound for Los Angeles, California.

Looking at the newspaper information sent to him through the family bank, Chen Jun's eyes widened and he was a little shocked.
