Chapter 109 The Right Person
"Baptism? I always thought you weren't a believer!" After bidding farewell to John Lebile, Josie mentioned the matter of baptism to Margot when she got home, but after hearing that, Margot had a strange expression on her face. .
After all, she and Josie have known each other for almost two years, and they get along day and night, but she has never seen Josie go to church.
It doesn’t matter if she is a Protestant, after all, Protestants don’t value some red tape of Christianity.
But Catholics hardly ever go to church, which doesn't make sense.
"Ahem, it's just a ceremony, there's no need to pay too much attention to it!" Josie said slightly embarrassed, he couldn't say that he didn't actually have faith, could he?
Say something that may be unbelievable, that is, the United States, known as the beacon of freedom, allows freedom of belief, which is fine.
It doesn’t even matter if you believe in the Holy Fire Meow Meow Sect or the Coriander Sect.
But if you don't have faith, that's a serious problem.
Because in the eyes of Americans, people without religious beliefs have no moral restraint, and without moral restraint, there is no ultimate care, and without ultimate care, they cannot live a decent life, and if they cannot live a decent life, there is no difference between humans and animals.
So if a person wants to integrate into American society, you can have no beliefs in private, but you can’t say it on the stage, otherwise you will be rejected by mainstream society.
Seeing Josie's appearance, Margot immediately understood that he was not an orthodox believer at all.
In this regard, she just lost the right ball and didn't take it seriously.
What's wrong with not having faith? I don't believe that this is also her man!
But it’s not a bad thing for my two children to recognize Linus as their godfather. After all, when their father died that year, apart from David who was out of tune, John and Linus’ father and son really cared for her.
So Margot simply agreed.
At night, John Lebile also came to Josie's manor with a gift.
And when they saw the gift brought by John Lebile, both Josie and Margot were extremely surprised.
"Uncle John, this is too much!" Looking at the share transfer agreement in her hand, Margot couldn't help but say.
Because the equity in the transfer agreement was exactly the jewelry store of her father that Margot sold back then, this was an industry worth more than two million yuan back then, and now it is more than two or three times more than that.
But it is such an industry, but now 90% of the shares are divided into two and donated to the two children.
Why not 100%? Because the remaining 10% was in Margot's own hands.
Of course, the price of this property is nothing to Josie, who has already made a fortune, but to Margot, it obviously has extraordinary significance.
"It's nothing, don't refuse it, it's a gift for the children, not yours, even if you want to refuse it, you have to refuse me when the two children grow up, and you don't have to worry about management, my people will Continue to be in charge of the business, you just need to be responsible for their salaries!" John Lebile said with a smile,
Josie on the side also nodded secretly. She really is an old man. With this wife's line, I will not be able to leave the Leibil family casually in the Chicago consortium in the future.
Apparently during the daytime conversation, John Lebile had seen that the European resources in Josie's hands were stronger than expected.
If you don’t raise at this time, when will you raise?
Things are a bit big, Margot is uncertain and looks at Josie.
"Accept it, honey, this is Uncle John's wish!" Josie nodded, indicating that he could accept it.
It’s only a few million. When I go back to Europe, I can earn back several times and dozens of times in minutes.
A lot of benefits are meant to be shared with the titular partners of the Chicago consortium. That being the case, why doesn't the big head give it to the Lebiler family, who have a better personal relationship?
"Thank you very much for your hospitality, your chef is very good, especially the chicken ferdinand, I like it very much, but Josie, before leaving, I still think I should advise you, your staff can stand alone There are still fewer talents!" Johann Lebile mentioned it when he was saying goodbye after dinner.
Josie was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then nodded.
I have to say that what John Lebile said is indeed a problem.
Although Josie is rich now, there are not many talents under him who can really stand alone.
The most outstanding of them is actually a little old man Linden.
Originally, it was only the business in the United States, which was naturally handy for him, but with the development of the European business, after Linden went to Europe, the situation changed.
As far as the Blackwater Gang is concerned, Dix is a good player in fighting and killing, and it is okay to do intelligence and other things, but the business aspect is really difficult for him.
After Josie got Linden to Europe, he complained to Josie more than once that he didn't have a reliable butler.
As for Josie's own industry, although the directors of several factories are not bad, they are not very good, that is, the talents of the first factory are relatively outstanding, but it is the two managers of the two film companies that they got later. people.
Before Josie went to Europe, he originally wanted Brad and Pete to compete for the job.
But because Angela, the little **** that Pete was in charge of, was first taken to the front line to participate in condolences, and then went to Joseph Kennedy. However, after the other party's funeral, he next to the other party's younger brother who came to attend the funeral, that is, the future Melody.
Good guy, this is also playing brother and brother.
Under such circumstances, the original plan to make her famous naturally fell through.
On the contrary, Brad is in charge of Sabrina's The Sound of Music, which has been filmed and is about to be released on the Christmas schedule.
Under such circumstances, the two of them could no longer compete fairly.
But it was a bit wasteful for the two to manage DreamWorks together, so when Europe had already expected that Angela, a little bitch, would not be able to come back, Josie gave Pete a choice as compensation, that is, to buy it from him. Nothing much has changed and has been renamed ABC's Blue Broadcasting Network.
There is no doubt that Josie bought ABC in order to prepare for the establishment of a TV station in the future.
But without the end of the war, Josie couldn't get too much productivity to produce TV festivals and TV programs under the background of controlling the economy.
So in the short term, ABC can only do the old job of broadcasting.
As a result, the manager that Josie just acquired was obviously not very good. The company has been losing money without any improvement.
Although Josie doesn’t have high requirements for the current ABC, and doesn’t ask you how much money you can make, you can’t lose too much to me anyway, can you?
But other than that, Josie didn't have enough reliable people under his command.
Especially with the upcoming acquisition of Continental Bank, Josie will definitely have to send someone reliable enough to sit in charge at that time.
Bring Linden back? Although this guy has never been involved in finance, he is a Ph.D. in economics anyway, so it shouldn't be a big problem.
But the question is what will happen to Europe after he is brought back?
Give it to Ophelia?
There is no doubt that this future Lady Hydra is a capable all-rounder.
But in terms of business, she really can't compare with Linden.
Not to mention the European Hydra mess, no one can handle it except her.
Vito? There is no problem with this kid's sincerity, but his level of education is average. It can be said that he is handy in doing all kinds of black work, but going into business? forget it.
But at this moment, a figure appeared in Josie's mind.
By the way, he might be a good choice!
"Josie, what are you thinking?" In the bedroom, while Josie was still thinking about poaching someone, Margot returned to the room after comforting the two children next door and handing them over to the night servant. asked Josie.
"I'm thinking about how to recruit a management team to help me manage the bank's business in the future!" Josie replied directly without hiding anything.
"Oh? Who are you going to dig?" Margot was a little surprised when she heard Josie's answer.
"You know, our old neighbor!" Josie replied.
"You mean Mr. Angelo?" Margot froze for a moment, and then quickly realized.
Josie nodded.
That’s right, what Josie said was Tommy, the neighbor in the old house when he and Margot lived together—Thomas Tommy Angelo.
Although it's a little unkind, but when Josie established the Blackwater Gang, he asked Dix to check the details of his neighbor. After all, it was the neighbor who reminded himself that Margot was being followed, and in this world It is possible to know that the disappearance of the stalker Joe Barbaro was his own fault, and only the other party's.
But I don’t know if I don’t check it, and I’m shocked when I check it.
Josie’s old nephew is really not an ordinary person, but a big boss of the Chicago mafia during the Great Depression in the 1930s (Tommy is the only protagonist in the Mafia series who has become a high-ranking mafia leader and has his own territory , brother, business, and Vito and the rest of the sequel's protagonists have always been just thugs).
Although Tommy later betrayed his mafia family, the actual situation was that his boss Salieni was not kind at first. He killed Tommy's good brother first, and wanted to kill Tommy as well. .
Afterwards, Tommy spent several years in prison, and started doing business after he got out.
When Josie met Tommy, he was already the vice president of the largest taxi company in Chicago and even Illinois, responsible for the operation of more than 10,000 taxis.
The vice president of a taxi company, it sounds like he has nothing to do with the banking industry.
But in fact, in this era without computers, the difficulty of running a taxi company with tens of thousands of taxis is actually far more difficult than running a bank.
Especially in the United States before the 1970s, banks were prohibited from operating across states, so the banking business in this era was far less diverse and complicated than that of later banks.
Basically, the main business scope of a bank is also several important cities in the state.
And this is why John Lebile values the bank shares in Josie's hands so much.
Because if you want to break the shackles of banks in the United States, there is a good way to circumvent it, that is, foreign banks-foreign banks already operate various cross-border businesses, so they are not restricted by the cross-state ban on domestic banking in the United States. of.
What's more, Josie doesn't expect Tommy to make much money for himself by participating in bank management, because in terms of specific business, the bank itself has enough financial talents.
All he needs is someone reliable to sit in and keep an eye on the people in the bank not to mess around.
Family life is harmonious, Tommy with a bunch of children is obviously very suitable for this position.
"Mr. Angelo is indeed a good man!" Margot is not very good at business matters, but she still has a good sense of this former neighbor. When she was in the old house, she often talked with Tommy's His wife Sarah often visits and has a very good relationship.
Although she has moved now, to be honest, she still misses the days there.
So I agree with Josie's choice.
But while the two were talking, Margot felt that Josie's eyes were starting to look a little wrong.
Because the manor is well heated, Margot doesn't wear a lot when she doesn't go out.
Not to mention the bedroom now, there is a large area of white flowers, which makes Josie dazzling.
"No way! It's only been more than a month!" Margot threw a pair of sanitation **** to Josie again.
It is not suitable for that within 42 days after giving birth, and it has only been a little over a month now.
"Hey, well, I've had a hand addiction, taste it!" Josie pulled Margot cheekily and said.
Margot is helpless, what else can she say when she meets a man who loves to grab food with her baby?
………………………
The next day, Josie, who had already made a decision, took someone with him, brought two bottles of good wine, and went to visit Tommy.
As for Josie's kind invitation, Tommy chose to agree after careful consideration.
Although he is now the vice president of the Chicago Taxi Company, but in fact, as he has too much authority in the company, he has already aroused the suspicion of the board of directors, so he is not comfortable doing it.
Now that he is invited by Josie, he is happy to change his working environment.
EMMM—I will try to make a chapter 3K-4K in the future
There is another update in the early morning
By the way, ask for a monthly pass!
