Mediterranean hegemon

"Gentlemen and ladies, dear audience, we have just introduced the various performance features of the Fast and Furious X1 series products, and we have also witnessed the excellence of the products on the spot. This is indeed a fast and furious, elegant and It is a product that we are passionate about, and now, let us finally announce the price of the product, which must be of great concern to everyone..."

The host protracted his tone, waiting for the scene to quiet down, and then began to reveal the answer calmly:

Standard version price: 3999 lire

Deluxe version price: 4999 Lira

The above products are available for pre-order immediately, first come first served...

"Today we are also launching some limited editions and commemorative editions. All limited editions and commemorative editions are based on the luxury edition..."

Milan’s first commemorative edition of 24 cars: 5,999 lire – with signatures and commemorative certificates from the mayor of Milan and major city officials;

24 cars of the style version are launched in Milan: 5999 lire - with the signatures and style photos of all the models attending the conference today;

Limited Edition of 12 Cabinet Ministers: 7,999 Lire - Comes with the signatures and commemorative certificates of all the ministers who attended the press conference today. "

"Finally, we are launching the Leader Limited Edition. There are only 6 units in Italy. It has the signature of the great leader, Prime Minister Benito Mussolini... for only 9,999 lire!"

The old Ciano shook his head slightly in the audience: "It only costs" 9,999 lire. As the head of the Ministry of Transport, he naturally knows the price of the vehicle. Not to mention that it is much more expensive than motorcycles from other companies. The price is even higher than that of a motorcycle. The Ford Model T is expensive, equivalent to an engineer's annual income... But the leader's limited edition has a lot of background. Someone must buy it to flatter Mussolini, and my son has a good plan; as for Milan There must be people buying the commemorative edition to flatter Milan city government officials, and the same goes for the cabinet minister edition.

Now he finally understands why Contini just said during the first game that he would bother everyone to sign when the time comes. Now it seems that he has already planned it - of course, this kind of signature cannot be signed just once and then copied, and how many copies there are. It depends on how many copies you sign, but fortunately, the maximum is 24 copies.

"In addition, I would like to tell you some good news. All customers who purchase United Motorcycle products will receive a three-year warranty. We will be responsible for any quality problems to the end. Customers who purchase commemorative and limited edition products will also receive additional gifts. A deluxe version of United Radio produced by United Radio Company, with the autographs of Miss Vivian, the chief Italian youth anchor, and Miss Adriana, the intellectual beauty host..."

Vivian, who was watching in the audience, couldn't help turning her head and biting her ears with Adriana: "Sister Adriana, this bad guy in Calais actually used our names to attract customers..."

"This bad guy has tricks up his sleeve in everything he does, and it's hard to guard against. You have to show him some tricks later, and don't let him get too proud..." Adriana smiled slightly, "Also, don't call me sister, I'm the same as you. Yuesheng, you asked my sister to call me old, but you didn’t listen to me several times. Are you trying to make me angry? "

"You will get old if you are angry." Vivian secretly smiled, "We are both 2 months older than Calais."

Originally, a lot of people thought that the commemorative and limited editions were a bit expensive, but when they heard the free radio and the signature of the anchor, they immediately felt much better. Several young men eagerly placed orders directly - the black paratroopers made a domineering appearance just now. The scene shocked them greatly. This was their ideal motorcycle, and it was probably the most suitable one for picking up girls.

After attending the ceremony and the launch ceremony, Mussolini and others hurried back to Milan. The city hall prepared a grand welcome banquet. All celebrities from all walks of life were expected to attend. Naturally, Contini, as one of the main parties, could not absent.

Following his order, 32 Roman warriors dressed as black paratroopers formed a majestic vanguard and escorted a convoy of big shots back to the city of Milan, which invisibly increased the exposure level of the Fast and Furious debut. After the dinner, it was the same group of guards who sent all the important people to the hotel where they were staying.

Just when the Roman warriors were about to return to the base, Contini had someone stop them. Although his face was a little red from drinking a lot of wine, he was still very clear-headed: "Warriors and gentlemen, , everyone has completed the task very well today, perfectly demonstrating the majesty and image of the "Roman Warriors" guard of our United Group. Everyone knows my temper, clear rewards and punishments, fair and equitable, and you should have it if you do well. award."

"Sir, what kind of reward is it?"

"There are two rewards, you can choose one..." Contini said with a smile, "First, the action bonus is 5,000 lire; second, you can stay in the hotel overnight, and there will be an adventure waiting for you!"

"Ha!" A bunch of people laughed.

"Don't laugh. I'm talking about romantic encounters. Naturally I won't treat you badly. You have also come into contact with many fashion models in Milan today. They are charming and addictive. If you feel that you need to relax, you are confident that you will not cause family problems. If there is a dispute, you can choose to stay and leave tomorrow. I will arrange everything. Of course, let’s make it clear first. This is just a romance. Don’t entangle others and don’t destroy family harmony. We are all adults. What can we do? Be sensible about what you can’t do.”

Someone boldly asked: "Boss, where are you..."

Contini said with a straight face, "I'm still young, and I have a lot of things to do in the evening, so I won't consider these for now."

Everyone laughed even harder.

"I'll give you 15 minutes to think about it. Report to Captain Carlo when you're done! Save some strength for me, don't be like a weak shrimp and can't get up tomorrow. Now, stand at attention and disband!"

Everyone stood at attention and saluted respectfully before dispersing to discuss.

Using this trick to appease his subordinates is of course the key to Contini's control of the troops. To be honest, it is quite difficult to gain the loyalty of these veterans. Brainwashing with militarism, these are elite soldiers who have fought and retired on the front line. Their ideas and values ​​have long been fixed, so brainwashing is very difficult; using a sense of honor to motivate them is also unreliable, because although Contini is their superior, he is actually just a boss. Apart from training with them for a period of time, he has no experience of life and death together; as for promotion and future, Contini is not convenient to show too much of his political ambitions now. In the end, the only thing left was to use money and beauties to pave the way, so he offered a high salary of 20,000 lire basic annual salary, and with generous treatment, he believed that sincerity could be used to exchange for their loyalty - this was crucial.

After the guards were disbanded, Antonio came to Contini and whispered: "Master, everything has been arranged, and the gift money has been delivered. Some of it was done by Prince Botti to help me run errands. This guy is very good at this."

Contini asked again: "Have the models been arranged? The money must be paid first, and the person must be willing, and it can't cause a big storm in the city."

"No problem, they are all willing, do you think they don't want to curry favor with big shots?" Although Mussolini said that he came to support him, he couldn't help but express that Mussolini himself received a red envelope of 50,000 lire, and other ministers and major officials of Milan received gifts of 30,000 lire. In addition, the United Group also paid for models to entertain the big shots. Contini, who knew Mussolini's temper well, specially arranged two of the most beautiful ones, and one for each of the others. The only person who was not arranged among these big shots was also there - old Ciano.

It was not that Contini thought that old Ciano did not need this, but it was too embarrassing for the father and son to do this. If the news leaked out and reached his mother's ears, a world war would definitely break out in the family. Besides, even if he dared to give it, would old Ciano dare to accept it?

As the two were talking, they suddenly heard a curse: "Galai, come here, look at what you did?"

Contini was helpless and could only walk over...
