"good."

In the afternoon, the guests left one after another, and the wedding scene became quiet. The servants were cleaning the courtyard, and the residents were cleaning the streets.

In the villa, Russell was sitting on the sofa, next to Marlena and Mansha.

On the opposite side were Vido and the bride, and Kaqi led the young men standing at the dining table behind, and the old guys headed by Olijatu stood by the window.

"Your mother and I want to live in a small town, so you can take care of the group's affairs in the future?"

Wei Duo was surprised and said, "Father, I'm not capable enough."

"You can make some mistakes while I'm still here, you know?"

Vido turned his head to look at Kaqi, but saw Kaqi smiling at him, and so did Mansha.

At this moment, Russell stood up, raised his hand to touch Vido's forehead, and said, "Vito Corleone, you will be the helm of the Corleone family from now on. How far this ship can sail depends on your ability."

Vido nodded: "Okay, Dad."

Russell looked up at Olijatu and the others, then turned around and went back to the room with Marlena.

In the hall, Olijato walked over with a smile, grabbed Vido's hand, and bowed to offer a kiss.

"godfather."

Followed by Philisto, Niveno, Nostin, Nelly and others...

After the old guys are over, it's the turn of the little ones.

Kaqi and Mansha stood in front of their brother and said with a smile, "Godfather."

Vido rolled his eyes, "What do you want to do?"

"I want to stay in Sicily," said Mantha.

"My elf is in America," said Cage.

They are brothers and sisters, and they express their thoughts in just one sentence.

Vido looked up at the others, his eyes shining brightly, as if he had great ambitions about to come true.

After handing over the power to Vido, Russell suddenly felt a lot more relaxed.

That night, he and Marlena discussed where to go to play, and finally decided to stay in the windmill courtyard for a few days, remembering the demeanor of their youth.

1973 10 Month 6 Day.

The Fourth Middle East War broke out.

Israel is under surprise attack from Egypt, Syria...

Vido encountered an unprecedented test when he took over the family. According to the overall situation, he must quickly withdraw from the business in the Middle East. Olijato and Niveno also persuaded him to do so.

But Vido did not order, but said to Nelli: "Based on our relationship with the United States, Israel dare not attack our mining areas and oil fields. If there is a war, we will close our doors and go out of business. How can we make money?"

This word flowed into Russell's ears, and Marlena praised his son, this Vido will follow me.

Vido is courageous. Just like his father, when encountering problems, he does not think about escaping, but thinking about how to expand his interests and keep his business.

So Vito asked Nelly to take his son and Philisto's son to the Middle East, and invited several international security companies.

Although there are security companies in Sicily, the Sicilians cannot be used as cannon fodder in a real war.

Widow contacted MI[-] and the CIA, and the answer given by these two intelligence agencies was: mines and oil fields would not be bombed.

The ceasefire was only achieved when the Security Council passed a resolution on the 25th to send a United Nations emergency force to the Middle East.

The fourth Middle East war ended, but it destroyed the atmosphere that the United States and the Soviet Union had just eased up, and the two countries that had already tense relations fell into a freeze again.

Originally, Vido wanted to ask his father if he should expand the Sicilian security company and recruit retired soldiers from France, Britain, and Sicily.

Russell's answer was: You figure it out.

Now that you let go, you have to let go completely.

As long as the young eagle soars in the sky, it has few natural enemies.

After the war, Vito really let it go...

He opened Sicily to foreign capital, invited businessmen from Britain, France, the United States and other countries to invest, and let people do business in Italy to buy regular customers...

This move is undoubtedly to expand the influence of Sicily to the mainland of Italy. Russell has laid the groundwork before, so he did it smoothly.

Chapter 184 Godfather!I'm always ready for your call

After several years of development, the subsidiaries of the Sicilian Group have spread all over the world, especially in the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Italy...

Its business types are varied, whether it is tobacco and alcohol, real estate, financial securities, automobiles, ships, trade, transportation, and medical care, they all occupy a place in various countries.

Mantha and Sirona got married two years ago, and his mother passed away after the marriage. At that time, Malena and Russell attended the funeral. His mother was a professor of obstetrics and the dean of the first medical institute in Sicily. Tania's medical career has made no small contribution, helping many civilians recover to health.

When the residents heard that the teaching father had come to attend the funeral, they all respected him.

In their view, although the old godfather is old, he still pretends to be a resident and a person who has made contributions to Sicily.

Sirona accepted the research institute, took charge of the hospital, and opened a medical company in Sicily. The main products are medical equipment and new dental materials, named Sirona Medical. The Sicilian Group invested 60%, and the remaining 40% was Sirona's own.

After Mansha gave up the fashion magazine company in the United States, Vito gave her dry shares to ensure that she would not be short of money in the future.

And Kaqi had a great time in the United States. The two boys should have inherited his father's romantic style. They are still unmarried after 33 years. Last time I met his father, Russell asked him: Where is your elf?

Kaqi said with a sad face and a little embarrassment: "She flew away and returned to the kingdom of elves."

Then being ridiculed by Russell and Marlena for a while, Kaqi wondered, why other parents at his age were urging marriage, but his parents were as if nothing had happened?As if there is no such son as him.

Kaqi asked unwillingly: "I am not married at such an old age, and my parents don't urge me, am I my own?"

Then Marlena got up and slapped him angrily, "No!"

Wei Duo and Mansha watched him being beaten and laughed aside.

"Kaqi, you need to find a marriage partner as soon as possible. You see, your nephew is about to go to elementary school."

Vito said.

Mansha rubbed her stomach and said, "Your nephew is about to be born."

Kaqi said with regret on his face: "I can't give up a forest."

Russell and Marlena felt a little helpless. They discussed who this kid was with after several years of research, but finally came to the conclusion that Kaqi might have a genetic mutation.

At present, the Sicilian Group is developing rapidly in the hands of Vitol. He mainly implements one idea, that is, only those who are strong will not dare to provoke them.

This is also what Vido learned from his father. When he was a child, he saw his father conquer the enemy by force, so that the mice hiding in the dark did not dare to wait for the opportunity to move, and then released the old cat to kill the mice when they were unsuspecting.

Therefore, Vito has sent many young people in their twenties to France over the years to join the French Foreign Legion. When they finish their service, they will join the security company under the Sicilian Group and become the backbone.

I have to say that although Sicilian sergeants are very strong, their military training is indeed not as good as that of Britain, France and the United States.

Recently, pirates have appeared in the Red Sea, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Tunisian Strait. Maritime trade has suffered a lot, and even the warships have no time to clear them, because these pirates move very fast, and the tactics they use are chasing and fleeing, and leaving. I harass tactics.

Wei Duo asked his subordinates to follow the ship himself, and sent mercenaries from the security company to protect him. He encountered two groups of pirates along the way, and all of them were wiped out by the mercenaries.

Then Vido's subordinates went to negotiate with the big pirate, and the final result was that the pirate spent money to buy supplies, which was the same as the market price.

Since then, the ships of the Sicilian Group have never been harassed by pirates.

This method of fundamentally solving the problem, Wei Duo still learned from his father, the so-called sophistication of the world, the first thing is to find out the demands of the other party, in order to be able to solve it.

In 1976, Russell's subordinates went to see the Virgin one after another, which made Russell unable to eat for several days. After hearing about it, the three children rushed back home to accompany them.

Oliviato and Sylvana were the first to follow Russell, and their departures are truly sad.They are indeed a little older. They are more than ten years older than Russell, and they were over 70 when they died. They can be considered a good death if they can live to this day.

Then came Philisto and Federica. When the couple didn't meet the old godfather Russell, they were hard-working couples, and their lives were very hard.And after following Russell, the family property also exceeded tens of millions, close to [-] million.

Nuo Siding also passed away a few days ago. He has only been close to the oil field in his life. According to his words: The oil field is a gift from the godfather, and my closeness to the oil field is to be close to the godfather!

The children of these people all work in the Sicilian Group, and their positions are not small, and they have a very close relationship with Vido, after all, they have been playing since they were young.

This is also the reason why Russell insisted on letting the children go back to Sicily to study. If they cannot become Sicilians, they will have no sense of belonging.

In fact, Russell was very reluctant to watch his subordinates leave one by one, and he especially did not want to experience this kind of sadness.

He used Olijatu and others very smoothly, with deep feelings and loyalty...

1979, October.

Sicily, small town.

The sea breeze blew wildly, making Russell and Marlena feel cool as they walked along the coastline walk.

Now Russell is still in good health, he is only 63 years old, not very old.

And Malena is just 65 years old now, and her pace is still steady.

Followed by several children, they are Russell's grandchildren, including Vido's children and Mansha's children.

It is worth mentioning that Kaqi has another elf again. He called back a few days ago and said that he must get married this year and have five children next year.

Malena scolded with a smile: I don't know...

At the end of February, news came from the United States that Felix passed away. The helm of the Buccio family finally failed to survive the torment of cancer cells. Take it back in your hand.

Vido met Felix before and had a deep chat with him for more than three hours.

After his death, Vido took the Bucciggio family into his pocket and asked them to return to Sicily with their family. Those who didn't want to come back developed in the United States, and the Corleone family would not let them go.

why?Because Felix knew that no one in the family could take on the heavy responsibility. His son and his cousin's son were idle in the United States, and they were not material for doing business at all.

Instead of taking over the trading business, make a big mistake.It's better to cut off their thoughts, and then give them shelter to ensure that they have no worries about food and clothing in the future.

Felix is ​​very loyal, if he has the slightest selfishness, he will never hand over the trading company.

Russell's heart is very complicated about this, because he has lost a good subordinate again.

In many cases, Victor is very similar to his father, except that he likes to hold his own things firmly in his hands, while Russell has everything under his control.

One is virtual and the other is real.

This also exposed Vito's shortcomings, he is not very good at hiding his competitiveness.

3 month 14 day.

Russell heard from Chris that Mike had received an honor from Archbishop Gilday Berto in the Roman Church and awarded him a St. Bastian Medal.

At this time, the old Pope of the Vatican was not dead yet. This old guy lived a really long time, and he didn't know whether he drank the water given by the Virgin Mary or had other ways to live longer.

Mike accepted the medal, which means that he has completely cleaned up the family business, but there is only one last step, which is how to get rid of those partners in New York, including Antu Bello, Joey...

He had a long chat with Archbishop Gilde Berto, without confession, just about business.

The Vatican's financial crisis is intensifying. Beto was appointed by the old pope to attract a powerful investor. The old pope once approached Russell, the godfather of Sicily, but was bluntly rejected.

But if we don't look for investment now, the finances will really collapse, which will be a disaster for the Vatican.

Seeing that Mike didn't agree, Beto became a little anxious. He found the banker and financial director Cancik, and the Italian mafia godfather Lu Kesi, and asked them to help persuade Mike.

After they met Mike, they proposed to use the shares of the European real estate company Nili Group in exchange for Mike's capital injection.

After thinking about it, Mike agreed, saying that he would raise funds when he returned to New York.

He left Rome and did not hurry back to New York, but came to Sicily, to the small town of Corleone, the place where his father lived, the place he had traveled, the place where he fell in love with Apollonia...

Finally, he meets Russell.

It was an afternoon, and the sun shone warmly on his face.

Russell and Mike sat in the courtyard, and there were premium Cuban cigars and black tea on the table.

"These are your grandchildren?"

Russell looked at the children and smiled, "That's right, do you have any grandchildren?"

Mike was slightly absent-minded and shook his head: "No, my son is not married, and neither is my daughter..."

"Children and grandchildren have their own blessings, and my second son, Kaqi, is not married either."

Mike turned his head and opened his mouth slowly, "I came to see you, mainly to see you. But seeing you so happy, I feel a little jealous."

"Haha... You are more straightforward than before. After Nia passed away, you didn't continue?"

"No, I met Kay...Kay, do you remember? It was my ex-girlfriend at Connie's wedding back then."

"remember."

"She is still single, but she also has children... After I met her, I understood what you said, finding a Sicilian woman is the right choice."
