Marvel: I traveled through time a little early

Chapter 23 Meeting the Godfather

Arriving at the Plaza Hotel, George opened a high-end business suite, and then sent an email to Paul at the front desk, asking him to come to New York to meet him after completing the patent application, and attached the hotel address.

George returned to the room, took a simple shower and changed clothes, then used the hotel car to go to Rogersdale Clothing Store. This clothing store is still very famous in New York. Today's custom-made shops are not as popular as those of later generations. We do not sell ready-made clothes.Customized shops still have choices in the ready-to-wear category.

So, on the recommendation of the designer, George bought four sets of windbreakers, including ties and windbreakers.Moreover, under the careful measurement of the designer, two more suits were customized, and he promised that the customized clothes would be delivered directly to your door once they are ready.

So after George left a cash check for $[-] and the address of the hotel room, he left.George went to the shoe store next door and bought two more pairs of high-end handmade leather shoes. George also bought two handmade hats.

To be honest, George didn't like wearing hats, but out of courtesy, he bought two.George, who was about to go back to the hotel, remembered that this was his first time visiting, and it was always a bad idea to come empty-handed, so George came to an antique shop on this street again.

George, after looking around the antique store, the first thing that caught his eye was the row of porcelain on the shelves on the wall.George took a closer look and saw from the drawing that they should all be Chinese porcelain, but he didn't know which year they were from.

Now he is not ready to buy antiques from China because the time has not yet come.George looked at Western Antiques on the other side.

At this time, an old foreigner came up to me and said, "Hello, sir. Is there anyone you like?"

George said directly: "I am going to give a gift to a friend. He is from Sicily. Does the boss have any good recommendations?"

"Of course, there is." After speaking, he pointed to an oil painting and continued: "This painting depicts the beautiful island of Sicily."

To be honest, George didn't see where he could tell it was Sicily.But that’s what I meant, so I asked: “How much?”

The old man said directly: "200 US dollars"

George smiled and said, "Are you kidding me?"

In the end, George bought the painting for $95.After asking the boss to pack more delicately, he paid for the gift and left the antique store directly.

After returning to the hotel, I rested for a while, took a good bath, and then changed into the clothes I just bought in the afternoon.After cleaning up, George's whole body took on a new look. Coupled with his handsome and resolute face, tall figure, and self-confidence based on his own strength, his whole person became completely different.He was exactly the same person as he was a few months ago, standing in front of people like a noble prince.

Sure enough, the old saying, a man relies on his clothes and a horse relies on his saddle, is true. What a wise saying!
George went downstairs when he saw that the time was almost up. As soon as he left the hotel door, he saw the driver sent by Tesio in the afternoon waiting opposite the hotel.

After George got into the car with the gifts, the driver drove towards Corleone's manor.

Sitting in the car, George thought that Vito Corleone should have just become the godfather.

After all, he only killed Fanuqi three years ago and completely embarked on the path of the mafia.

Vito Corleone should be only 30 years old now, still in his prime.The impression left on George in the movie is that he is always so measured and so steady.It seems that nothing can hit him, he is a man full of wisdom.

Is George looking forward to this meeting?Maybe, after all, he was the most charismatic person in movies and TV shows in his previous life.is a man who would be differently inspired by watching that movie in any time period.

However, George didn’t feel like he was looking forward to it too much.

This is the Marvel world after all, and superpowers are the ultimate prelude to this world.George and he were from two different worlds. Being able to meet Vito Corleone in person might be more of a nostalgia for his previous life.

Therefore, in this complicated mood, George met the godfather of the New York Mafia at Corleone's new manor.

After getting off the car, someone took George to a study room.The layout of the study here was almost exactly the same as the one George saw in the movie, which gave George an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

George also met the 30-year-old godfather, Vito Corleone, at the door of the study.

"Hello, Mr. Corleone, I am George Orwell. This is a gift for you. It is a pleasure to meet you." After George saw Corleone, he politely met the new godfather Vito. Corleone greeted him and gave him a gift.

At this time, Corleone was not as powerful as later generations, but he still showed enough respect for George, a partner who could bring him nearly one million US dollars in income every month.

"Nice to meet you too my friend, please have a seat."

After the two parties exchanged greetings, they sat down separately.

"What are you drinking?" Corleone asked first.

"Coffee is fine, thank you."

Then someone came in with two cups of coffee.Corleone made a gesture of invitation and took a sip of his coffee.George also picked up the coffee and took a sip, then put down the coffee cup.

George heard, and Corleone said: "George, you see, we are already friends, right, so we don't have to be so alienated. How about I call you George, and you can also call me Vito?"

Of course George had no objection when he heard it and said, "Of course, Vito, we are already friends, I'm sure of this."

After speaking, the two looked at each other and smiled.

"George, do you know how much convenience your wine business has brought to me, so I owe you a favor, my friend." George can also understand this. Vito Co, who has just taken the position, Lyon had taken this position by force before.

Now with the addition of the wine business, he can win over a large number of people close to him through the wine business, and once again consolidate his position financially.

Of course, George would not take credit, so he said modestly: "We are all about mutual benefit. I have heard before that Vito is a family-oriented person, and you have connections with Pombo, so Corleone became My preferred partner.”

"Thank you my friend."

The two talked about family and so on. During this period, George also offered Corleone a business, which was to open a laundry room. This business was the earliest way of laundering money in the underworld. The term "money laundering" also comes from this.

This business requires a lot of manpower, at least one shopkeeper is needed for each storefront, and this person does not have to be a man, and can be left to the thugs in his family.This is completely a serious business, and it can bring him many benefits.

For this reason, Corleone also wanted to give George some shares, but George did not ask for it. First, he looked down on the profit, and second, he did not want to have too much involvement with the Mafia.He wouldn't want something like this that was obviously about taking shares.

George may slowly get involved in the underground world in the future, but definitely not now.

The next ten years will be a golden period for the rapid development of the Mafia. They use smuggling of tobacco and alcohol to obtain large sums of property.But then, the sale of cocoa powder started and the mafia council fell apart.

Corleone is too wise and calm, now that he has become a partner.George had no intention of taking him as his subordinate. George was self-aware of this.He is not the kind of time-traveling senior who has the aura of a bastard and makes people convinced as soon as they meet him.

There are too many opportunities to form a force. He still has time and can take his time.

After George had dinner at Corleone's house, he chatted with Corleone for a while and then left.

Meeting an idol today already made George feel very happy.As for changing the fate of the Corleone family, it's too early.

The next day, George checked out of the hotel and walked to a remote place, transformed into a peregrine falcon, and flew towards PL Winery.After arriving at the winery, George did not go to John directly, but took a rest for the night.The next day, someone notified John.

After John arrived, he reported the progress and agreed to officially start signing the contract a week later.Naturally, accountants and lawyers will help with the rest.

A week later, George came to the bank.However, this time it was changed to a larger conference room.Under the eyes of more than 30 people, George signed his name on the contract that had been reviewed by a lawyer and paid a cash check of 110 million.

George became the largest landowner in Walker Township and would provide at least two hundred jobs to the town.At this time, the mayor of the town took the initiative to shake hands with George and invited George to visit his home when he had time.

George did not stay too long in the bank. After signing, the lawyer would handle the subsequent procedures.Before leaving, I paid the bank fees and wrote another check of 1500 as a reward to John. This land purchase was basically concluded.

The next day, George summoned nearly a hundred workers from 16 wineries in the town square, gave a speech and reassured them.Then only the winemakers of each winery were left, so that they would be managed by Allison in the future. If there are any adjustments in the future, further notice will be given.

Later, George gave Lane $[-] in cash to use for renovation costs of the newly purchased winery.He requested that all the land be fully utilized and an overall planning map be established to separate the grape producing areas from the whiskey raw material producing areas and manage the scale accordingly.

And a new and more complete winemaking base and wine cellar will be built. It is expected that after the improvement is completed, the PL winery will produce two types of wine, whiskey and wine.Whiskey is a whiskey with a unique taste in Canada. The types of wine can be divided into six flavors according to the grape varieties. According to the quality and age, it can include all grades of red wine. The annual wine output is 600 million liters.

As long as wine is stored well, there is no need to worry about damage, and the longer it is, the more expensive it will be.

George decided that in the future, the top batch of red wine each year would only be sold at auction. With the help of the Mafia's circuit, the wine from PL Winery could be sold across the United States in the next ten years.Ten years can completely form a memory and a habit.

Nowadays, how much does wine cost in a hotel or bar? A glass of beer costs 50 cents, a glass of wine costs $5, and a small glass of whiskey costs $1. These are just low-end wines. High-end wines are reserved for some high-end restaurants. Drinking in bars and pubs is beyond the reach of most people.

Just like the drinking wine that George provided to Corleone before, all were provided to high-end places, and Vito also made many friends from both military and political circles.

Now George is a little worried that Vito Corleone can't eat these goods, but it doesn't matter and he can also ask Corleone to contact the other four mafia families.It's entirely possible to turn a business with the Corleone family into a business with the entire American Mafia.You can also contact the Hong Gang. Chinese people also need to drink.

But by that time, how to deliver the goods will be another problem.

In the next few days, George didn't go out much in the winery. He always stayed in the room to contact Ninjutsu.Now all his clones have been taken back by him, except for the several shadow clones who were arranged to read books in the library and gave him a lot of knowledge.The bigger one was the Rasengan spinning in his hand.

After several months of exploration, George has been able to directly focus this skill with one hand.After observing it for a while, George scattered the Rasengan in his hand.

Then he came to the middle of the room, and with just a silent thought in his mind, in a second at most, a set of bone-colored Sagittarius gold armor was condensed on his body.The two wings are folded behind the back like a shield.

This armor can now provide George with the ability to fly, and George also tried it at night.The flying speed is not as fast as that of a peregrine falcon, and the feathers on its wings can also be used as launched weapons.

George just tried it and put away the bone armor.Now George's combat skills can be said to have no shortcomings.There are firearms shooting at long range, and the sniper rifle can shoot anywhere within 4000 meters.In close combat, the three-body technique combined with the fighting technique will definitely become the most difficult existence.He has bone armor for defense, and he is basically immune to attacks such as pistols.With the transformation of his nervous reflexes and other physical qualities by the Heart-Shaped Grass and Chaos Energy, he was able to defeat Ryan who had taken the Heart-Shaped Grass alone.

Coupled with his mental abilities, George is now a full-fledged Hexagon warrior.Therefore, George decided to directly extend the time for drawing items to one year next time. After all, this once-a-month drawing was just the icing on the cake at best and could not bring him a fundamental improvement.
