The godfather's side.

The Corleone family, three weeks ago.

The office was dark yellow but not dark. The godfather leaned back on the old sofa chair, opened the pot of bronze-colored 'Witch' mellow rum, and listened quietly to the report of his godson Tom Hagen.

His voice is calm and full of magnetism, and there are just the right pauses when he speaks, leaving time for people to think.

After listening to every detail, Godfather Vito Corleone thought deeply for a while and murmured a question to Hagen: "Is this his idea? You didn't lie to me?"

"This method is indeed what he told me, and it is very effective."

Hagen nodded, "The movie tycoon was frightened and directly agreed to our conditions and gave Johnny the role."

"In this plan, what surprised me the most was not how perfect the plan was, but how he considered the problem and solved it in a very clear and unique way, which is rare at his age. In addition, before

His behavior in the newspaper office reminds me of you, and his behavior is somewhat similar to yours."

"We should re-examine him, maybe..."

The godfather waved his hand to stop what he wanted to say. He knew that Hagen wanted him to consider the candidate for the next godfather.

This issue is not a taboo topic in the Corleone family. On the contrary, many people have expressed it directly or indirectly, but the godfather has never expressed his position.

"Maybe I neglected to care for him. This is my incompetence as a father." His bulldog-like face showed a slightly wrinkled smile: "He should have a broader sky to lead Corleone.

As the family moves towards glory, I don’t want every one of them to be like me.”

Hagen sighed in his heart and stopped persuading, saying: "William learned about Sollozzo and he advised me to remind you to be careful about him and the five major families in New York standing behind him."

"I know this. Remember, don't let him get involved in such black events in the future."

"good."

Hagen felt sour in his heart and felt happy for William: "What about the drug lord Sollozzo? He has requested meetings many times."

"Let's meet."

The next day, Sollozzo, a drug lord with a ferocious horse face, came to the godfather's office and proposed various conditions. He wanted to use the Corleone family's upper-level connections for protection, but the godfather refused.

Sonny, the boss who was standing by, was moved by the benefits and suddenly interjected. This made Sollozzo see the internal differences in the Corleone family. In his mind, he assassinated the godfather Vito Corleone, so that the godfather's eldest son Sonny succeeded to the throne and completed the project.

Trading ideas.

After the negotiation, the godfather was dissatisfied with Sonny's interruption and scolded him severely.

After experiencing this incident, everything went as usual in the following days, except that the Corleone family's defense around their family members became much stronger.

Three weeks later.

The ring rang, the transferred call was picked up by the godfather, and a familiar voice came from the other side.

He was very happy that William could call, and he was also very happy that his child could need him. He made a rude gesture, and the office fell silent for an instant.

"I heard that you ran the newspaper office very well there. Are you in trouble now?"

"Yes!"

Chen Jun briefly told him the situation of the newspaper office, and then said, "I once said that I would deliver the newspapers to the mailbox of your manor, and now I think the opportunity has come."

He explained in detail the mechanism for winning newspapers by buying newspapers, which is similar to supermarket shopping coupons and prize coupons: "Currently, my people have opened up the supermarket links in the west and south, where you can receive newspaper purchasing rewards, and the central and eastern parts are also working on it."

in progress."

"This model is crazy, but I am a little worried about the legal risks and supervision issues involved. I hope to get your help."

"Don't have any worries, you can freely express your ideas." The godfather said calmly: "The Corleone family will always support you!"

"Do you still need money?"

The other person was silent for a while, then Chen Jun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Another 1 million!"

"Okay, you can withdraw it at the family bank at any time." The godfather was very calm and suddenly changed the topic: "What do you think will happen if our family gets involved in the film industry?"

In the past he would not have asked him about the family business.

"Movie?"

Chen Jun was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Hagen had told him that he would suggest that his godfather get involved in the film industry because he saw the huge profits made by the film tycoon Waltz.

In the latter part of the Godfather trilogy, the Corleone family supported the famous star godson Johnny to get involved in the film industry and gained a lot.

"I think this industry has great potential. After the war, people need a rich entertainment life..."

Chen Jun didn't know much about the movies of this period, so he couldn't say he was profound or planning. He just gave the Godfather an analysis from the grassroots level, the bottom of the industry.

..... After hanging up the phone for a long time, the godfather told Chen Jun's plans for the newspaper to his subordinates present.

"Oh, God, he can really come up with such a genius idea." Clemenza, the godfather's subordinate, exclaimed: "Don, it would be a shame if you didn't send him to Las Vegas. I swear where is the lottery?

The industry will definitely flourish in his hands."

The godfather ignored his teasing and asked Hagen: "Can it be solved?"

"It's not difficult, it just takes some time to unite the major states, and the legal systems in different places are different." Hagen then took out a color newspaper from the table: "He said that the newspaper will have an impact on the United States. This is not empty talk, it is indeed worth the investment.

!”

"The color printing, fast-paced style, and multiple pictures are all amazing ideas. I believe William's newspaper has great potential!"

This newspaper was ordered by someone specially sent to Los Angeles by plane a week ago.

"I don't like the vocabulary in it. It's not friendly to an old man like me." The godfather shook his head: "Maybe young people like this."

"I quite like it."

Clemenza was the godfather's number one general. He grabbed the newspaper from Hagen and said, "I really like the entertainment and sports sections."

"At night I will specially cut out the colorful pictures of celebrities and then think of the vocabulary in them."

The way Clemenza twisted her fat body and danced made people laugh.

With the guidance and capital injection from his godfather, Chen Jun is more confident to implement the next plan.

First of all, he was not in a hurry. After waiting for a week for a call from his godfather to announce that the joint had been opened, he officially announced the news in his own newspaper. This time, he was rich and advertised on TV.

The content of the advertisement is very simple, with only one point.

A week later, in the western and southern areas as well as the central and eastern fringe areas of the United States, if you purchase the "Daily Toutiao" newspaper and verify the lucky code of the newspaper, you can receive varying rewards at the supermarket sales outlets that have cooperated with "Toutiao".

400,000 US dollars will be distributed in advance, with a minimum of 10 US dollars in shopping vouchers and a maximum of 100 US dollars in shopping vouchers, with a total of 10,000 winning places!

It may not seem like a high value, but considering that the per capita salary of the urban population in this era is only 300, even a winning reward of 10 US dollars is not a small temptation.

Buy a newspaper for a few cents and you have a good chance of receiving at least $10.

With the same news content, why not?

And 400,000 is not low. The assets of the original "Daily News" were only 800,000, and the assets of the million-dollar "Los Angeles Times" were only more than 6 million U.S. dollars. This was equivalent to burning 1/

The size of 15.

You can imagine the sensation caused by an advertisement like this.

When some newspaper offices saw the news on TV, they almost regretted it when they remembered that there were advertisements from "Daily Headlines" in their own newspapers.

Still promoting others.

It is conceivable that some readers who originally bought their own newspapers will definitely buy "Daily Headlines". Those "Wall Street Journal" and "Washington Post" have some basic user groups, but those medium-sized and small newspapers will be directly destroyed.

Sexual squeeze.

This is obviously cheating!

But it is such a simple and easy-to-follow cheating method, but no one dares to play it and can only watch blankly.
