If all the right factors and national sentiments are abandoned, it must be recognized that the Lighthouse Kingdom is worthy of being the most powerful country in the world today.

The lighthouse country in the mid-1950s was at least thirty to one hundred years ahead of the world! Manhattan Island in this era was already full of buildings, gathering countless merchants, technology companies and financial geniuses.

Making money on Wall Street and living on Manhattan Island is the motto of the rich people in this era.

If Manhattan Island, which is full of tall buildings, can have a three-story old building covered with green trees, with red silk grass, red kudzu, stone-bound dragons, and maple vines wrapped around the floor, it will be the top rich people among the rich. The true upper class is no less than owning a Yanjing courtyard in the 21st century.

"Mr. Godfather, is this wonderful place for you? Is it so wonderful to linger?"

Zhou Wenqiang was sitting on the top floor of Mike Corleon's private old building, shining warmly on his body, making him squint his eyes comfortably and admire the flowers and plants in the courtyard lazily and comfortably.

There is a fountain with a Greek mythical figure Achilles in the courtyard, wearing myopic glasses, and a great governess on his chest is telling the story of "Achilles' Heel" to several children by the pool. The children seem to be fascinated by the hearing.

"Haha, if Mr. Zhou likes it, you can stay for a few more days. It has been a long time since the distinguished guest came to the family."

Mike Corleon Corleon is as handsome and calm as his father, with strong short hair, bright eyes, and a wide chin slightly upturned, making him the king of the shoehorn face.

Mike Corleon, who just celebrated his 33rd birthday this year, has the calmness he shouldn't have at his age. Since Zhou Wenqiang walked into his private home, he has been carefully observing this godfather-level oriental.

"Haha, it's a pity that I still have a lot of things to be busy with, otherwise I would have to bother you for a few days."

Zhou Wenqiang gently held Monroe's little hand in front of Mike Corleon and John, and said, "The day after tomorrow is my wedding with Monroe. This time I am here to invite Mr. Godfather."

Until now, Monroe was still in a state of wandering, feeling like she was dreaming. She didn't dare to look at the godfather. When she saw Mike Corleon's gaze, she hurriedly turned her head, but she accidentally met Little John. Little John reacted faster than her and quickly lowered her head. He didn't want Zhou Wenqiang to misunderstand anything.

"I am very grateful for your invitation. Apart from that, Mr. Zhou should have something else, right?"

Mike Corleon looked at Zhou Wenqiang with a smile. He didn't believe that a godfather came to the Lighthouse Kingdom from a distant east, just for a porn star.

Love stories have never existed only in fairy tales, but they will not appear in people like him and Zhou Wenqiang.

"The godfather guessed it. I'm here this time, and there's something else. I think this will be a good opportunity for us to work together."

Zhou Wenqiang lowered his voice slightly, not because he was afraid of being heard, but because he wanted to express his solemnity: "I am very interested in Texas Instruments and I hope to hold shares in the company."

I advise you to dispel this idea, it is impossible.”

Mike Corleon shrugged his shoulders slightly: "Texas Instruments is a well-developed semiconductor company. And it is not listed, and the company's shareholders will not give up their shares to an Oriental. Moreover, even if they are willing to sell their shares, Lighthouse will not agree. I believe you must know that Texas Instruments has military technology and cannot be entered by foreign capital."

"We Eastern people only believe in one sentence, 'Things are done by man'. If the godfather is willing to help me, I think nothing is not a problem."

Zhou Wenqiang said lightly: "Texas Instruments was founded in 1947 by Sethel *H*Green, J Eric Johnson, Eugene *McDermott, and Patrick *E Hagerty. As far as I know, one of these four shareholders is not just a simple businessman, but rather, he is a godson accepted by the old godfather back then."

"His name is Eugene McDermott, who was originally the founder of GSi, the parent company of Texas Instruments. However, after the other three shareholders acquired stakes in Texas Instruments, Texas Instruments gradually grew, and the parent company GSi was divested and turned into a subsidiary of Texas Instruments. Although he currently controls 16% of Texas Instruments, he has long lost control of the company... His position in the company has long become very subtle..."

Mike Corleon's expression moved slightly: "Zhou, your methods are amazing. I'm wondering where you got such accurate information? You know, it was already twenty-five years ago that my father accepted Mike Corleon Demot, a godson."

"Well, he might agree to sell the shares under my persuasion, but you are an oriental person and you can't buy them."

"I can't, but my wife can."

Zhou Wenqiang held Monroe's hand gently and placed her little hand on the table: "Monroe will buy and hold these shares on behalf of me. She is a native of Lighthouse, and now she is a household name in the Lighthouse Country. Doesn't Lighthouse Country call itself a 'rule of law'? So even Eisenhower can't stop this."

"Yes, that's a great idea."

Mike Corleon smiled and applauded softly, but finally shook his head: "But you still underestimated the inspectors of the Lighthouse Country. They are not those idiotic officials in the East; even if Monroe comes out, your funds will still not pass their review."

"Your funds may be transferred to the Bank of Lighthouse Country, but that is still funds from the East. Do you think the supervisors of Lighthouse Country will ignore this? So..."

“So my money needs to go through a ‘wonderful journey’.”

Zhou Wenqiang laughed, took out a playing card from his arms, and slowly pushed it to Mike Corleon: "Gambling is the magic key to solving all problems."

"According to my statistics, McDermott's shares are worth about 60,000 US dollars. If I consider the premium acquisition, I need to prepare 80,000 US dollars."

"I can successfully 'lose' the 80,000 US dollars in the casino opened by your family, and then my wife won 80,000 US dollars in the casino. Then this fund from the East will be reasonably and legally the property my wife obtained in the Lighthouse Country... Of course, your casino can pump water according to the rules, and Monroe will file taxes according to the laws of the Lighthouse Country, and everyone can get benefits."

"This is actually just a little trick. Mr. Godfather shouldn't be particularly surprised, right?"

Mike Corleon also laughed: "Of course, this sounds easy to do. But... Zhou, you should understand that if we do this, we will help you deceive the Lighthouse Kingdom. And I also want to persuade McDermott to sell the shares to you, which is also harmful to the family's interests. Even if I am the godfather, it may be difficult to convince the public, so you make me feel embarrassed..."

"Mr. Godfather, maybe I can give you a quotation that you can accept?"

Zhou Wenqiang smiled and said, "For example, the Kuchio family, which has always had hatred with the noble family... In recent years, they not only often challenged the authority of the godfather, but also colluded with drug dealers, breaking the rules set by the old godfather's era."

"The Corleone family found evidence of the Kuchio family and drug dealers several times, but they introduced some scapegoats to make things worse. The Godfather wanted to remove them several times, but it was not easy to violate the 'Seven Principles' of the Mafia..."

"So, the best way is to borrow external power against the Kuchio family. Am I right?"

"oh?"

Mike Corleon's eyes lit up and he chuckled: "Zhou, there are delicious roast chicken at noon today. Maybe we should drink a few more cups?
