Chapter 156 Crazy Spending
"Everything we do is for a better survival" — on the breech muscle.
Jiang Hao's organization has now ruled the entire underground black market in Sicily, much faster than expected.
The number of members of the official organization has reached 580, and the number of peripheral personnel exceeds 2,000.
He is now the undisputed king of the Sicilian underground.
In addition to being all over Sicily, smuggling channels have begun to move inland, especially the sales of cigarettes, forming a systematic sales channel, which can bring millions of liras of profit to Jiang Hao every month, and also support five or six thousand people.
The basement of Jiang Hao's villa was filled with boxes of cash.
This meeting was a year ago. The purpose of the meeting was not only to show the existence of his own boss, but also to give out bonuses. Of course, the 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, Jiang Hao really wants to hold a grand annual meeting.
However, he has seen reports in the news of later generations. There are some underworld gangs, thieves companies, fraud groups, and high-profile annual meetings. Everyone went there, and then they were caught by the police. This is a bit ridiculous. good.
After the annual meeting of the organization, Jiang Hao also prepared to spend his Christmas, but he was not planning to spend it in Syracuse, so he called Malena and said, "How about we have a Christmas holiday."
"Where are you going?" Malena asked.
"Anywhere, Palermo, Naples, Rome or Florence, as long as you like." Jiang Hao said.
What Jiang Hao said was farther than the other, Malena thought about it and said: "It's still a war period, I think we should not go too far, or let's go to Palermo to play, I haven't been to Palermo for a long time. Lemo."
"OK, then go to Palermo."
Jiang Hao called Federer and his wife and gave each of the dutiful couple a thousand lire bonus. The happy two couldn't stop thanking them.
"Federer, I'm going to take Malena to Palermo for Christmas, so you can have a relaxing Christmas too, Federer, look at your home, if you have anything, you can go to the old Arecio tavern and call someone."
There is a lot of money in the house, if it is patronized by thieves, it will not be beautiful.
"I understand sir." Federer now knows the power of Mr. Bernano's name, and he knows it more and more, but he won't say anything.
"Mrs. Federer, enjoy your food when we get back."
After explaining to the housekeeper and his wife, Jiang Hao called Kasani again, "I'm going to Palermo for Christmas, and you are going to follow me with four people."
The boss must bring his younger brother when he goes out. Fortunately, Palermo is still a Sicilian territory. If he goes to the mainland, it is estimated that Jiang Hao will need to bring a dozen or 20 people with him.
The next morning, the team leader Pia came over with three subordinates. This time he was responsible for protecting Jiang Hao's safety. Jiang Hao and Malena put the two small suitcases on the purple car. Pia and the others sat in the back of the bodyguard. In the car, the trunk is full.
This time someone was driving, Jiang Hao and Malena sat in the back, enjoying the scenery along the way, chatting about topics of interest, and finally arrived in Palermo in the afternoon, the best hotel in Palermo, booked The best room.
The hotel is a converted castle. They live on the top floor. The room is very large and functional. There are two bedrooms, a large dining room, a huge hot spring bath, a game room, and a large rest balcony. To the bay and far beyond the scenery, the sea breeze blows the white screens flying.
Jiang Hao lay on the sofa chair on the balcony and hummed comfortably, "It's really comfortable, Malena, do you have any plans for the itinerary these days?"
Malena was packing their luggage and hanging their clothes in the closet. Seeing Jiang Hao's lazy look, she smiled and said, "Shopping on the first day, watching the opera on the second day, watching the drama on the third day, and watching the drama on the fourth day. It's Christmas Eve, and we're going to the cathedral to pray."
Looking at Jiang Hao's somewhat bitter face, Malena knew that he didn't like listening to operas or watching drama performances. She walked over with a smile, sat next to Jiang Hao, lowered her head and kissed the man's mouth, and said, "The rest It's up to you to arrange the next time."
"Alright, alright, alright~~~" Jiang Hao said a few times in a childish manner.
ok~~
The next step is indeed according to Marlene's itinerary, shopping, opera, drama performance, Christmas Eve, on the fifth day, Jiang Hao finally made the call, Jiang Hao waved his hand: "Today our task is, shopping, crazy Shopping."
Marlene was taken aback. "Are you going to do another cycle, and then opera, theatrical performances, and then back to shopping?"
"No no no, next, just shopping, no opera, no theatrical performances."
Jiang Hao came out this time, but he brought a lot of money. This is only part of the cash box in his basement. He can't wait for them to depreciate, so the next task is,
Spend money like crazy! ! !
But after walking around in Palermo, Jiang Hao was very disappointed. He found that his money could not be spent.
It's not that his lira can't be used, it's just that there are not many things worth investing in here. If he is in the future, he can take the money to the gold shop and swipe the card frantically, and turn the numbers in the card into real gold and silver jewelry, but in 1941 Italy has implemented gold controls.
What a fucking Mussolini.
He wants to invest in art instead, but most of those famous works are collected in the National Museum, and a small part is in the hands of private collectors. There are very few circulating on the market, and if they do, they are likely to be fakes.
As for the collection of the paintings of the painters of this period, after a few decades, the value of the paintings will explode. There are indeed, but it is not easy to find them now, and it is impossible for Jiang Hao to be stupid enough to pay high prices for the paintings of these people. It's an insult, and if you want to buy it, it's a slap in the face.
But in this way, his money still can't be spent.
Seeing Jiang Hao's sullen look, Malena persuaded: "How about we go to the antique store, maybe there is something you like there."
Antiques, in addition to oil paintings and sculptures, are there any other antiques worth investing in in Europe? Jiang Hao can't think of them anyway.
After lunch, the two continued to stroll, with a black car adorned in the distance behind them, it was Pia and the others.
The two walked into a small antique shop with all kinds of things in it, Jiang Hao pouted, it is difficult to find treasures in such a place.
Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by several things.
On a shelf against the wall, at the very top, there is a row of porcelain, yes, it is porcelain, a gourd bottle, two ear bottles, and two large yellow bowls with patterns painted on them.
