"Everything we do, is for a better survival..."---- Godfather quote.

Jiang Hao's organization has now ruled the entire underground black market in Sicily, much faster than expected.

The number of members of the formal organization has reached 580, and the number of peripheral members has exceeded 2,000.

He is now the well-deserved king of the Sicilian underground.

In addition to the smuggling channels all over Sicily, they have begun to go inland, especially cigarette sales, forming a systematic sales channel, which can bring Jiang Hao millions of lire of profit every month, and also feed five or six thousand people.

The basement of Jiang Hao's villa is full of cash boxes.

This meeting was a meeting a year ago, and the purpose of the meeting was not only to show the existence of his boss, but also to issue bonuses, of course, this money was not from Jiang Hao, but from the organization's accounts.

Each of these leaders can get a lot of bonuses, and naturally they are all smiling, if it weren't for the fact that the limelight is still tight now, Jiang Hao really wants to have a grand annual meeting.

However, he has seen those news reports in later generations, some underworld gangs, thief companies, fraud groups, and the annual meeting organized with great fanfare, and everyone went there, and then they were served by the police, which is a bit ridiculous, and it is better to quietly fight and develop obscenely.

After organizing the annual meeting, Jiang Hao was also preparing for his own Christmas, but he was not going to spend it in Syracuse, so he called Marlena and said, "How about we have a tourist Christmas." ”

"Where are you going?" Marlena asked.

"Anywhere, Palermo, Naples, Rome or Florence, you name it." Jiang Hao said.

Jiang Hao said that one is farther than the other, and Marlena thought for a while and said: "It's still a time of war, I think we should not go too far, or let's go to Palermo to have fun, I haven't been to Palermo for a long time." ”

"OK, then go to Palermo."

Jiang Hao called Federer and his wife and gave each of the conscientious couple a bonus of 1,000 miles, and the happy two couldn't help but thank them.

"Federer, I'm going to take Marlena to Palermo for Christmas, so that you can have a relaxing Christmas too, Federer, you take care of your home, and if you have anything, you can go to the old Arecio tavern and call someone."

There is a lot of money in the house, and it will not be beautiful if it is patronized by thieves.

"I see, sir." Federer now knew the power of Mr. Bernano's name, and knew more and more, but he would not say anything.

"Mrs. Federer, wait until we come back to enjoy your meal."

After explaining to the housekeeper and his wife, Jiang Hao found Cassani again, "I'm going to Palermo for Christmas, and you are going to follow me." ”

The boss must take the younger brother when he goes out, fortunately, Palermo is still the territory of Sicily, if he goes to the mainland, it is estimated that Jiang Hao will have to bring more than ten or twenty talents.

The next morning, Pia, the leader of the group, came over with three of his subordinates, he was responsible for protecting Jiang Hao's safety this time, Jiang Hao and Malena put two small suitcases on the purple car, and Pia and they sat in the bodyguard car in the back, the trunk was full.

This time, someone drove, Jiang Hao and Marlena sat in the back, enjoying the scenery along the way, chatting about topics of interest, and finally arrived in Palermo in the afternoon, and booked the best room in the best hotel in Palermo.

The hotel is a converted castle, they live on the top floor, the rooms are very large and functional, two bedrooms, a large dining room, a huge hot spring bath, a games room, and a large lounge balcony with a view of the bay and the distant scenery, and the sea breeze blows the white screens.

Jiang Hao lay on the balcony sofa chair and hummed comfortably, "It's so comfortable, Marlena, do you have any arrangements for the itinerary for the next few days." ”

Marlena was sorting out their luggage and hanging their clothes in the closet, and when she saw Jiang Hao's lazy appearance, she said with a smile: "The first day is shopping, the second day is opera, the third day is a theater performance, and the fourth day is Christmas Eve, we went to the cathedral to pray." ”

Looking at Jiang Hao's somewhat bitter face, Marlena knew that he didn't like to listen to opera or watch drama performances, so she walked over with a smile, sat next to Jiang Hao, lowered her head and kissed the man on the mouth, and said, "How about you arrange the rest of the time." ”

"Okay, okay, okay~~~" Jiang Hao said a few childish words again and again.

All right~~

Next, it is indeed according to Marlena's itinerary, shopping, opera, theater performances, Christmas Eve, and on the fifth day, it was finally Jiang Hao's turn to call the shots, Jiang Hao waved his hand and said: "Today's task is to shop, go crazy shopping." ”

Marlena was stunned. "Are you going to have another cycle, then an opera, a theater performance, and then a back to shopping?"

"No, no, no, next, just shopping, No opera, no theater performances."

Jiang Hao came out this time, but he brought a lot of money, and this was only a part of the cash box in his basement, and he couldn't sit back and wait for them to depreciate, so the next task was,

Spending money like crazy!!

But after taking a turn in Palermo, Jiang Hao was very disappointed, and he found that he couldn't spend his money.

It's not that his lira can't be used, it's that there isn't much worth investing in here, and if in the future, he could take the money to the gold store and swipe his card frantically, turning the numbers in the card into real money, silver and jewelry, but in Italy in 1941, gold control was actually implemented.

What a fucking Mussolini.

He wanted to invest in art instead, but a large part of the works of those famous artists were in the collection of the National Museum, and a small part were in the hands of private collectors, and there were very few in circulation on the market, and even if they did, they were likely to be fakes.

As for what kind of collection of paintings by painters of this period, it is indeed there after a few decades of exploding in value, but it is not easy to find now, and it is impossible for Jiang Hao to be stupid enough to buy the paintings of these people at a high price, it is an insult to IQ, and if you want to buy it, you will miss it.

But in this way, his money still can't be spent.

Seeing Jiang Hao's somewhat sullen appearance, Marlena persuaded: "Why don't we go to the antique store to have a look, maybe there is something you like there." ”

Antiques, apart from oil paintings and sculptures in Europe, is there any antiques worth investing in, Jiang Hao can't think of it anyway.

After lunch, the two continued to stroll, and in the distance behind them was a black car, which was Pia.

The two walked into a small antique shop, there were all kinds of things in it, Jiang Hao pouted, it is estimated that it is difficult to find any treasures in this kind of place.

Suddenly, his eyes were drawn to several things.

On a shelf against the wall, at the very top, there is a row of porcelain, yes, porcelain, a gourd bottle, two ear bottles, and two large yellow bowls, all painted with patterns.
