Chapter 154: A Grand Gift(2/2)
"right."
"The Corleone family has sold off most of its businesses in New York, including part of its shares in the olive oil company. It is difficult to hide this from them. They have already noticed the Corleone family's intention to move its focus to the west."
Hagen asked: "Then they plan to take the opportunity to take a big bite? Or to destroy the Corleone family when its eastern power is weak?"
"Is this possible?" Hagen asked in an urgent voice: "This can easily cause a crisis. If we are not careful, we may completely collapse."
"They are still under my control. They are still in the trial stage. There is nothing to worry about. Moreover, Kalemenza and Tessio are already semi-independent. They will act as a buffer in front of the Corleone family."
There was a cold reply from the other end of the phone. After hanging up the phone, Hagen took a deep breath. He had already expected that Calemenza and Tessio, the two commanders of the old godfather's corps, would be decisively cut off, but he didn't expect it.
So fast and so decisive.
William had planned everything in his mind long ago. He planned so accurately like a prophet, weaving a complicated and tight network step by step. They were like puppets in the network, seemingly independent of themselves.
Thoughts and will, but in the end still can't escape from this big net.
He seemed to be hidden in the darkness. He was sitting on a chair with his hands flat. A little light shone down on him. It could be seen that he seemed to have the ability and courage to face everything and control everything. He was isolated from all living beings.
Looking down coldly.
Has he become a godfather?
William Don Corleone, can he have this title now?
He has either become the head of the Corleone family or the godfather. He is not qualified yet. Hagen knows that this title may not fall on him until the net is closed.
At the moment, the situation is undecided. No one knows whether the network will be closed successfully or whether people will die and the network will be broken.
This is a zero sum game!
Either life or death.
Hagen suddenly remembered that a year ago, he said to him with a slightly raised smile, and who would have thought that he had grown to this height in the past.

Chen Jun hung up the phone, and the ring rang again soon after.
"Mr. William, the National Broadcasting Corporation [abc] has accepted your acquisition conditions. Next, you can send professionals to connect with them."
It was a call from the head of a top law firm.
"Mr. William, the Coca-Cola Group is considering your investment request, and we will follow up on the relevant matters and report to you."
"Mr. William, Goldman Sachs Group agrees to your conditions, but has certain objections to the investment amount of both parties. The relevant report will be submitted to you later."
"Mr. William, the University of California is grateful for your financial donation. Their laboratory has carried out research on related voice recording equipment and color television at your request."
"Mr. William, the University of Southern California thanks you for your financial donation. They have established a special fund to provide laboratories in microelectronics-related fields."
"Mr. William, National Radio Records has agreed to your request for a controlling stake. They are very interested in your idea of recording equipment and hope to have a discussion."

There was no ringing in the living room and it seemed unusually quiet.
