Chapter 607 Old-School Style

It didn’t take Frank long to go from the shock of seeing Smith at first, to the panic of learning more people’s identities, to the numbness at last.

Gao Guang was rescued by Frank and his men. The young man who tried so hard to prove himself in order to survive, more than a year later, pulled out such a network of relationships. This made Frank no longer sigh, but confused.

How did he get along?

They are all human beings, why is there such a big gap?

It can only be said that people are so angry when they compare themselves to others. Frank really felt the huge gap in status, so in terms of his own abilities, he not only did not regain confidence, but was hit, and the hit was a bit big.

But confidence in the future, mainly confidence in making money, is not a matter of whether it can be restored, but Frank has to remind himself not to be too arrogant.

This has something to do with the Western social system, because as long as these people are willing to come to the cocktail party specially designed to welcome Frank’s return, and are willing to get to know Frank, it means that they are willing to provide necessary help to Frank within their ability.

Connections are like a sedan chair with people carrying people, and then naturally there are many more connections, and finally a map of connections is compiled.

Gao Guang held this cocktail party to welcome Frank and to help Frank regain confidence, but he also took the opportunity to show off his social circle, just like showing his trump card.

Smith saw that Gao Guang had friends like Miss Sarah and General Lloyd, so he must have raised his evaluation of Gao Guang. Lloyd saw Gao Guang's social circle and must have considered whether it was appropriate to use Gao Guang as a cannon fodder and a shield.

There are also Walton and his wife. They are Gao Guang's connections in the police, but after today, they will also know that in addition to the police, Gao Guang is also very popular in the military.

People with similar status can use this cocktail party held by Gao Guang to expand their social circle. For example, Miss Sarah and Eric have similar financial resources and influence. They can leave contact information because of Gao Guang's relationship. Even if they know each other in the future, although it may not be useful now, it may be useful in the future.

As for Smith, he was in the PC business after all, so naturally he had to get close to Lloyd.

So by taking advantage of this cocktail party and the influence of many friends, Gao Guang raised his status and influence. From today, he might not be good in other fields, but in Los Angeles, in the PC field, Gao Guang is considered a top figure.

It doesn't matter whether others know him or not, but Gao Guang's own circle recognizes him as a figure, which is the most important thing.

The cocktail party didn't last very long, only about an hour, and then the VIPs invited by Gao Guang began to leave one after another.

Smith knew Frank, and he knew him much earlier than Gao Guang, but Smith left early because he knew that if he stayed, some things would be difficult to say.

Logically, Smith should support Frank, after all, he is an old subordinate and an old employee, and Smith has always been good to Frank before, but now, Gao Guang obviously wants to reuse Frank, so should Smith encourage Frank to work well for Gao Guang, or let Gao Guang work well for Frank?

Smith didn't rely on fighting to get to the top of an industry.

Knowing that nothing he said was appropriate, he might as well leave early and wait until Gao Guang and Frank's relationship was confirmed before slowly reminiscing about the past.

And today was not a good day to talk about business, because today was to welcome Frank, just get drunk, put an end to all the bad things, and then fly happily.

Until the next day, when Gao Guang woke up, he felt a splitting headache and his steps were weak, so he simply let Mike take Frank to have fun for another day, and it was not until the third day that he could talk about business.

But Gao Guang's plan to talk about business with Frank was disrupted again by an accident.

Francisco's cousin finally came!

Gao Guang lived in his own house, the house that Miss Sarah gave him, and the house in the same community as the Waltons, but today, Francisco brought his cousin to visit him directly without notifying him in advance.

For Francisco, who looked a little dull and seemed to be lacking in brains, but actually attached great importance to rules, this move was very rare.

Even if Francisco's cousin was going to work in the King's Defense, the first meeting should be at the company, not at home. If Francisco brought his cousin directly to Gao Guang's home, it means that his cousin was not just looking for a job, but wanted to work for Gao Guang.

There is a difference between the two, and the difference is huge.

Gao Guang was awakened by the doorbell. He didn't ask for a servant, so he had to open the door himself. When he opened the door, he found that Francisco and a young man with a full beard were standing outside.

Both of them were wearing serious black suits, but one was wearing a red tie and the other was wearing a blue-striped and red-dotted tie. Otherwise, these two people would be as serious as if they were going to attend a funeral.

Gao Guang was wearing a nightgown and was a little dazed looking at Francisco outside the door.

"Boss."

Francisco turned sideways and pointed his right hand at the young man next to him, and then he said seriously: "This is the cousin I told you about several times, Ricardo Grillo."

Gao Guang was stunned for a while, because Riccardo was so handsome that he could be a star, but the expression on his face was too serious, and his eyes looked fierce.

It's not cold, it's the fierceness and sharpness that a thug should have. This kind of look and serious expression are very suitable for Francisco, but it seems very inconsistent when it appears on a handsome guy who is a top student in the law department.

Riccardo bowed slightly and said with determination: "It's an honor to meet you, sir."

The porch was relatively high, Gao Guang looked down at the two of them, and then, he suddenly felt that he was very rude.

"Hello, please come in, please come in quickly."

Wearing a nightgown, he had to cover it with one hand to prevent exposure, and the highlight looked a bit embarrassing, because Francisco did not notify him in advance, and the two of them were dressed too formally, which caught him off guard.

Gao Guang opened the door and warmly welcomed the two of them in. Then Gao Guang said urgently to Francisco, "You can sit wherever you like and get whatever you want to drink. I'll go change my clothes."

Gao Guang hurried into the bedroom and began to look for clothes suitable for meeting guests.

We are all our own people, so you are really welcome. Francisco and Riccardo walked into Gaoguang's living room, and then Francisco pointed to the sofa and said, "Sit down."

Riccardo frowned, then he shook his head and whispered: "Cousin, this is very rude. I can't be too casual when we meet for the first time."

Francisco stood in awe, and then he whispered: "You are right, in the United States, I forgot a lot of etiquette, which is not good."

Francisco and his cousin stood neatly beside the sofa in the living room, standing there respectfully and waiting for the highlight to come out.

Gao Guang originally wanted to wear a suit, but he felt that it was not necessary at home, so he wore a white shirt, a pair of trousers, and no tie. He hurriedly washed his face before entering the living room again.

Seeing the two people standing solemnly, Gao Guang was surprised again. Then he hurriedly walked to Riccardo and said enthusiastically: "Hello, hello, I heard Francisco talking about you many times. ”

Riccardo held Gao Guang's right hand, then he lowered his head, bowed slightly, and said deeply: "Dear Mr. Gao, I want to work for you, but I don't know if I have the honor."

Gao Guang was stunned again. He held Riccardo's hand and didn't know how to respond for a moment.

Effectiveness and work are two different words, and their meanings are quite different.

In the movies Gao Guang has watched, the mafia is not like this, so Riccardo doesn't seem to be imitating the plot in the movie, but it is really awkward to be so serious and formal.

Gao Guang looked at Francisco with pleading eyes, but he found that Francisco was equally serious.

"welcome."

Gao Guang wanted to say welcome to join the King's Defense. For Francisco's sake, he could skip the inspection step, but Riccardo was so serious and talked about effectiveness, so he suppressed the rest of his words.

"Please sit down, sit down and talk."

There was no chair, so Gao Guang let go of his right hand, took two steps back and sat on the sofa. Then Riccardo stepped aside, letting Francisco sit down first, and then sat down to the side in an orderly manner.

Gao Guang organized his words, then he coughed lightly and said with a smile: "Riccardo, I heard that you are studying law. Well, our company happens to be short of a professional legal consultant. It would be best if you can join." But that’s it.”

Riccardo stood up immediately. He seemed a little excited, and then he said in a deep voice: "Then do you agree to let me work for you?"

"Yes, there is nothing to say. You are studying law, so of course you are responsible for this area of ​​affairs."

Gao Guang thought his response was normal, but Riccardo was very excited. He said in a deep voice: "Thank you boss for your trust, but I can't hold such a high position as a legal advisor just after joining. I lack experience and have no ability." Prove yourself not qualified to be your legal advisor.”

Highlight looked at Francisco, who was motionless.

Riccardo continued: "My cousin started as a thug, and now he has become your executive officer. Boss, thank you for your trust. Please let me start as a thug."

Gao Guang was stunned for a while and said: "Do you have any misunderstanding about our company? Well, we are a defense company and we also do some arms business. I want to ask you to do some legal work, not to make you a A thug."

How could Gao Guang, a top student in the law department, work as a thug like a fool like Francisco and waste everything he had? How could Gao Guang do such a thing.

But Riccardo seems to be living in the last century.

Riccardo looked at Francisco, who also stood up and said respectfully: "Boss, please allow me to explain for him?"

Gao Guang stretched out his hand and said helplessly: "Man, don't be so serious. You two scared me. We are all brothers. You can say whatever you want. Now you are making me nervous. ”

Francisco said very seriously: "According to the rules of our Grillo family, Riccardo must kill his father-killing enemy before he can reach adulthood. Our Grillo has a long history and attaches great importance to the family reputation. No matter I Both Riccardo and I have the responsibility to restore the glory of the family, but Riccardo must kill his enemy personally. Only if he dies can I avenge him. "

Gao Guang nodded.

Francisco continued: "Riccardo tried for revenge, but unfortunately failed, so he came to the United States early, but after knowing my experience, he couldn't wait to play for you. He hoped to be in the United States. Your man becomes a killer, a warrior who can carry out his revenge."

Riccardo added: "The law is useful when running the Grillo family's industry, but the Grillo family's industry has been completely destroyed. I must rebuild the family's glory as an entrepreneur."

After finishing speaking, Riccardo immediately lowered his head and said: "I need your teaching and guidance, but I can't serve you for the rest of my life. I hope you can accept my incomplete allegiance, but if you refuse, I understand." And accept it.”

This is not right, this is very wrong.

Gao Guang looked at Francisco again, and Francisco said equally seriously: "We can make enough money from you as the starting capital to revive the family. When we return from the United States with our skills, If we return to Italy, we will be the strongest family in Italy, so I agree with Riccardo’s idea.”

"I, what I need is a lawyer, not a thug, a killer, and not a mercenary..."

When Gao Guang said these words helplessly, he spread his hands and said with a confused expression: "Did you two, um, think wrongly?"

Gao Guang wanted to say if there was something wrong with the two of you. If only Francisco was the only one, he would have said it, but with Riccardo, he was too shy to say it.

"I am not a mercenary. I will be your most loyal subordinate. Although I will eventually leave, during my service for you, I can execute your will at the cost of my life to show my sincerity..."

Riccardo finished these words with a determined and fierce expression. When he wanted to show his sincerity, he suddenly took out a knife, a switchblade, from his pocket.

After the knife jumped out with a snap, Riccardo suddenly stepped forward and put his hand on the table with a snap. Then he held the knife in his right hand and put it on the little finger of his left hand, saying loudly: "I"

Gao Guang's eyes widened, and when he saw Riccardo cutting the knife viciously while talking, Gao Guang stood up, held up his hand, and kicked out his right foot.

Riccardo's knife had already cut into his finger, but before he could cut the bone, the highlighter kicked his hand, and the switchblade flew out, grazing Francisco's arm and plunging into the leather sofa.

The blood had already flowed to the table. Gao Guang was stunned and trembling with anger. Then he trembled: "Are you crazy? Is there something wrong with you? And you, are you two sick?"

Riccardo's open hands were still on the table, then he raised his eyebrows and said in confusion: "Don't the Oriental membership rules require cutting off the little finger to show sincerity?"

Gao Guang said angrily: "That's a damn chicken! I'm Chinese! We Chinese don't cut off our fingers, let alone commit seppuku!"

Riccardo immediately looked at Francisco, but Francisco said with a confused face: "Don't Chinese people cut off their fingers?"

Gao Guang was going crazy, and he said angrily to Francisco: "You idiot! Did you teach him? Are you an idiot! Bastard! Stop being stunned! Take him to bandage... Oh Shete , the bones are exposed.”

Gao Guang was about to cry but had no tears, and then he roared angrily: "Stop standing there stupidly and go to the hospital! Also, you have to pay for my leather sofa!"
