December 30, 1940
The new year is about to begin,
Even if the cold wind blows, people in Sicily are beginning to prepare for the New Year.
Inside a cigarette factory,
Winster is busy distributing things to everyone. The sausages are from his own factory, so are the menthol cigarettes, the clothes, and even the bacon is produced and sold by himself...
To put it simply, just change your left hand to your right hand, and you will really do business.
Carrying a basket of things, Rosie returned home happily, facing the surprised expressions of her family,
Rosie said loudly: "This is a New Year's gift from the factory. This year we finally don't have to go hungry!"
"Dad, sausage!"
Looking at the thing in Rosie's hand, her daughter rushed towards it, with drool dripping from the corner of her mouth.
"Be good Windsor!"
Touching her daughter's head, Rosie couldn't help but sigh,
Before the Corleone family came, everyone's life was full and hungry, with no expectations for the future.
It's different now. With the opening of the factory, the Corleone family not only brings everyone hope of survival, but also a yearning for a better life in the future.
Their salary is the highest and their life is the most generous. Even with Mafia’s name, it’s nothing.
After all, there is that man in Sicily who has nothing to do with Mafia.
Stepping forward to hold his wife in his arms and looking at the child in her arms, Rosie had a bright smile on her face.
Corleone Manor in the west of the town,
A huge black car was parked in front of the door.
Many family members wearing black suits and badges on their collars were talking in small groups.
From eight people a year ago, it has grown to nearly a thousand official members and tens of thousands of external members.
Lu Yan is undoubtedly very successful. He led the Corleone family out of the abyss.
The once empty conference room is now packed with seats.
As the door opened, Lu Yan, still wearing a neat suit, walked to the main seat like a gentleman and sat down.
"boss!"
Seeing Lu Yan appear, everyone stood up and bowed,
Looking at the crowd, Lu Yan waved his hand and said, "Sit down, Winster will start!"
"This year, the family has opened a slaughterhouse and meat processing..."
"The income is currently maintained at 50 million liras, and the expenditures are more salary, arms... alimony..."
"Boss, I'm done here!"
After calculating the accounts, Winster said calmly,
After hearing what Winster said, Lu Yan knocked on the table to silence the members below who heard the accounts.
Because no one expected that the Corleone family’s ability to attract money was so powerful.
This does not include the income from the gray area. If you include those, there will be at least about 10 million in income.
"In previous meetings, we would not tell you the family's income, but it is different now. You are all members of the Corleone family. You must know how we make money and how we spend money...
.Because you have a share of this money!”
When Lu Yanyi spoke righteously, people below him straightened their backs.
This is a respect they never felt when they were Mafia.
"The family is developing rapidly and expanding. While making money, it also needs to solve some troubles and eliminate some bad apples! Keep it pure!"
Putting his hands on the table, Lu Yan glanced at everyone,
"Pfft!"
A dagger stabbed someone from behind,
When he covered his neck in fear and stared at the other party with disbelief, his face was full of horror,
Pulling out the dagger coldly, Credo's eyes did not dodge at all, and he said in a low voice: "How dare you embezzle the Mo family's money, that is our money!"
"Bang!"
As his weak body collapsed to the ground, Rektor put away his dagger and slowly sat on the executive's chair.
Looking at all this with cold eyes, Lu Yan scolded: "He once swore allegiance to the family and to me! But he betrayed my trust. The family will never allow such a person to exist!"
As he spoke, a document was distributed to everyone,
But after seeing this document, everyone who was still terrified just now showed ferocious expressions.
Because this bastard actually spent more than five million lire in just two months, and even got himself two young lovers.
It was simply too much. They just thought about how someone would dare to do this now.
"Everyone has worked hard for a year, so I won't waste any time and will give you the money!"
Looking at Winston, Lu Yan directly opened the thing covered with a red curtain behind him.
But as it was revealed, there was fanaticism in everyone's eyes,
Because there are bundles of lira under the red cloth, nothing is more eye-catching than this "golden mountain".
When many people below received their money, Lu Yan held a cigar between his arms with a smile on his face.
He doesn't believe in the loyalty of these people,
Because as long as they have money, these guys will betray themselves and the Corleone family at any time.
Those hard-headed guys are only a handful.
Now, Lu Yan wants them to know what the price of betrayal is.
"Go back, Winster, Credo, you still have your wife and daughter!"
Waving his hand, Lu Yan handed the box full of money to the two of them, each containing two million lire.
Lu Yan has no stingy thoughts towards the two people who have been following him.
"Boss, you?"
Looking at Lu Yan, both Winster and Credo couldn't help but fell silent.
"I will go to Marlena's place! Please don't disturb my good time!"
With a smile on his face, Lu Yan started teasing,
With expressions that all men understand, Credo and Winster left with a smile.
When everyone left, Lu Yan also smiled and asked the family members to go home.
Seeing Lu Yan without protection, his subordinates were about to refuse, but Lu Yan forcefully let them go.
Is he planning to live a two-person world with Marlena? Why don’t these guys have eyesight?
During the past six months, Lu Yan would go there every few days.
Although the two of them have not made any substantial progress, they have reached a level where they are more than friends but not lovers.
He believed that as long as he worked harder, he would be able to win over the goddess.
Driving away from the manor in a brand new Chrysler car, Lu Yan soon arrived outside Marlena's house.
After getting off the car with the gift, he knocked on the door directly.
After a while, Marlena walked down, looked at Lu Yan, and said in surprise: "Rosei, why are you here?"
Looking at Lu Yan curiously, Malena was a little confused.
Because recently, she heard from the women in the town that the Corleone family was very busy, busy giving out gifts to their employees.
After all this time, Malena still has not found a job. Because of the jealousy of women, she can only live with the help of her father and Lu Yan.
Lu Yan also left money for Marlena more than once, but was rejected by her.
What a strong little white rabbit!
"I came to spend my last night with you. After all, I am the only one left at home!"
Looking at Marlena, Lu Yan chuckled, without the slightest hint of sadness.
After hearing this, Marlena quickly invited Lu Yan into her home: "Come in, Rosey!"
"You are such a gentle and kind lady!"
With a smile on his face, Lu Yan started teasing,
Smiling uncontrollably, Marlena crossed her hands and said, "Then what do you say to the lady who took you in?"
"certainly!"
Taking out a bouquet of flowers from behind, Lu Yan said happily: "This is a New Year's gift, beautiful Malena!"
Covering her mouth in surprise, Malena looked at the flowers and said, "Where did this come from?"
You know, it's winter now, there are no flowers,
"I had people bring it from other places, are you satisfied?"
"Satisfied, I am very satisfied!"
