Chapter 417 Ming Family《Seeking Monthly Votes》

Just when everyone thought that the price of 8 million was the highest price for Wu Qingzong's masterpiece tonight, someone suddenly held up a sign of 10 million yuan at the VIP table, which suddenly rekindled the flames of war that had been extinguished.

Everyone looked over there in surprise, and were surprised to find that it was a young man who looked to be in his early twenties, but they didn't know whose family he was from?

Basically, the guests who can appear at the VIP table are all high-status people. It is not unimaginable that a painting can be sold for tens of millions, but everyone pays attention to it. Focusing on Li Yunheng, I wondered if this little girl would continue to follow up?

At this time, Li Yunheng was chatting with Fan Wubing, talking about some things about learning calligraphy. After hearing someone bidding, he didn't even think about it. He just raised the sign and quoted a high price of 20 million.

The whole audience was in an uproar, thinking that this little girl has a good background! But when I think about it, someone who can sit and chat with Fan Wubing, and it seems that Fan Wubing is quite polite to her, can't he still be able to hold up a 20 million sign?

The young man over there obviously paused for a moment. Li Yunheng's reaction was a bit unexpected, but he seemed to have the idea that he was bound to win this painting, so he thought about it and raised the sign and reported two The price is 10.1 million.

"Two thousand and one million for the first time, two thousand and one million for the second time -" the auctioneer raised his gavel and shouted loudly, "It's the last chance, two thousand and one million for the third time, the deal is done" !”

Surprisingly, Li Yunheng did not continue shouting, but was still chatting with Fan Wubing. Fan Wubing seemed to be unaware of this, and was telling Li Yunheng what font should be chosen as the basis for contact calligraphy. No one took this auction seriously.

But the young man who bought the painting felt like he was vomiting blood. A painting that could have been bought for less than 10 million, but because Li Yunheng disturbed the situation, he spent 10 million more. It was really a bit ridiculous. Heart!

"Why don't you follow?" Fan Wubing asked Li Yunheng.

"It was just for fun. Why did you spend so much money? Didn't you just say that you can just make a copy and copy it back?" Li Yunheng replied, tilting his head.

Soon the auction results were announced. Mr. Wu Qingzong's calligraphy and painting works at lot No. 30 were purchased by Shaodong Ming Shijie of the Ming Group in Hong Kong. The sound of applause suddenly came to mind on the field.

Fan Wubing nodded and said. "You are right. But this time it is a charity auction. All the money raised will support the construction site of the Hope Primary School in the mountainous areas of China. So it is okay to take two pictures."

Li Yunheng nodded when he heard this.

"Oh. In that case, I'll take pictures of two more things."

There is nothing too eye-catching next. Li Yunheng took photos of four antiques at random. A total of more than six million was spent. Then he stopped. Because the competition in the front is fierce. Later, everyone's emotions were aroused. The organizers of tonight's cocktail party felt that they had gained a lot. A total of more than 70 million yuan can be earned. There are many things that can be done.

Qin Rushan didn't know where he ran. Wait until the reception is almost over. He just got to Fan Wubing's side. "Mr. Fan. That Ming Shijie from the Ming Consortium just now seems to be very dissatisfied with you."

"So what? You can't come over and bite me, can you?" Fan Wubing smiled nonchalantly, "At the auction, the highest bidder gets it. We didn't get Wu Qingzong's calligraphy and painting works, and we felt very unhappy. So happy."

"Having said that, the Ming family is closely connected with the underworld -" Qin Rushan reminded Fan Wubing, "the ordinary rich people in Hong Kong are not willing to offend them."

Fan Wubing shook his head and said, "Mr. Qin, you are worrying too much. The gangs I have provoked are no longer just one or two. Aren't I still living well? Regarding this issue, you Hong Kong people have taboos, but we are not afraid Yes, the worst thing is to send troops to destroy them."

"The key is that it's not 1997 yet. The Ming family has a lot of power in Hong Kong, otherwise they wouldn't have been invited -" Qin Rushan said to Fan Wubing.

"Well, that's true.

Fan Wubing touched his nose and said, "Thank you, Boss Qin, for reminding me. I understand this matter." As long as everyone is in peace, if there is any difficulty, I am very good at taking advantage of others. "

"That's good. Although Ming Shijie is young, he has always acted ruthlessly. I'm worried that Mr. Fan doesn't understand the situation and will suffer a loss -" Qin Rushan nodded.

As a person who has worked hard in Hong Kong for decades, Qin Rushan is naturally very familiar with the black and white situations in Hong Kong, so he is deeply afraid of the Ming family involved in gangs. This time he came to remind Fan Wubing because at this time Fan Wubing is his big benefactor, and Fan Wubing's power in mainland China cannot be underestimated. It will be 97 soon. A big shot like this still has to be friendly, or this meeting can become the first step in his career. Maybe a second takeoff.

However, for Qin Rushan, the Ming family

There is still some fear of power.

The power of the Chinese underworld cannot be underestimated, and it forms a tripod with Italian, Russian, Eastern European mafia and South American drug cartels. For a long time, the Chinese underworld did not have much market in mainland China, and it mainly spread among Chinese in Hong Kong, Taiwan and overseas Chinese. However, in the past ten years, as the mainland has opened its doors to the outside world, gangsters from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan have rapidly penetrated and joined forces with local evil forces.

Major mafia groups in Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan have branches in the mainland, such as Hong Kong's Sun Yee On, 14K and Shuifang Gang, Taiwan's Four Seas Gang and Xiulian Gang. Their concepts such as halls, squads, bosses, King Kong, and protectors are a great temptation to young people in an impetuous atmosphere.

Since the mid-1980s, there has been frequent exchanges between the two sides of the Taiwan Strait. Gangs from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan have also entered the mainland in the name of sightseeing, visiting relatives, investment and business, and the mafia forces have developed rapidly.

After entering the 1990s, more gangs from Hong Kong, Macau and Taiwan have infiltrated the mainland. In recent years, more than 90% of major criminal cases involve mafia organizations, and most of those in the south are related to overseas mafia. Overseas mafia organizations collude with domestic mafia to engage in various criminal activities. Some of them use the name of investment and trade to swindle and launder money in the mainland, while others form gangs in the mainland to develop members. Some even kill and rob, kidnap and extort, smuggle and sell drugs, and fight gunfights.

Hong Kong triads originated from the mainland, and can be traced back to the anti-Qing and restoration organizations such as the Hongmen Tiandihui, the Triads, and the Qinghong Gang in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. After the founding of New China, mainland triads fled to Taiwan and Southeast Asia, while Hong Kong became the largest distribution center for triads, which once developed to more than 300 organizations. Despite years of crackdowns by the police, triad forces continue to grow and decline, and they are spreading across regions, across seas and across countries, and criminal activities are more international.

Data released by the Hong Kong police in early 1990s showed that there were nearly 60 organizations such as the Triads, the 14K, the Sun Yee On, and the Hezi system registered under the Societies Ordinance or the Companies Ordinance, with more than 200,000 members. Today, there are four major families of triads active in Hong Kong and even the international triad stage, namely the Triads, the Sun Yee On, and the Hezi system.

The Triads are old gangs, and most of Hong Kong's modern triads can be traced back to the Triads. The 14K is a subordinate organization of the Triads and a criminal group of the new trend. The Sun Yee On, also known as the Chaozhou Gang, is a rising star among Hong Kong gangs. In recent years, its power has grown to the point where it can compete with the 14K, with nearly 80,000 members. In 1994, the Hong Kong police launched a large-scale anti-gang operation and arrested 14 leaders of the Sun Yee On in one fell swoop.

In addition to the four major families, there are countless gangs that have emerged on the Hong Kong underworld stage. However, as Hong Kong's return is approaching, many gangs headed by the four major families have also felt the crisis of survival, and have entered the legal field to operate and accelerate their migration to the mainland.

As a Hong Kong underworld force that can be compared with the big families, the Ming family also saw the vast market in the mainland and wanted to come in to share a piece of the pie.

Strictly speaking, the Ming family is not a local underworld force, but a mixed Chinese and European underworld force. It has a very close cooperative relationship with the mafia. Therefore, it acts ruthlessly and unconventionally. Even the local underworld forces in Hong Kong are more afraid of it.

The Ming family is involved in many industries and almost all criminal activities. There are countless crimes such as drug trafficking, smuggling, gangsters eating gangsters, fraud, etc. Even the Hong Kong police are very troubled by them. It is said that the resignation of the last Hong Kong Police Commissioner was also related to them.

Rumor has it that Ming Zhengxing, the head of the Ming family at that time, bribed the powerful people in the British Parliament and got rid of the police commissioner who had a grudge against his family, forcing him to leave Hong Kong sadly and go to England with his family of four to retire.

If there is no big grudge, no one would be willing to provoke the Ming family.

Qin Rushan reminded Fan Wubing based on this consideration.

However, Fan Wubing himself has a set of principles for doing things. At present, he has many companies and a very terrifying number of security personnel. In view of the previous agreement with Boss Zhu to provide more job opportunities for retired soldiers, he set up a professional security company, and the seals provided them with international standard security training. After they come out, they can be arranged to provide security services to various companies.

If no one provokes me, then there will be no trouble. If someone really wants to cause trouble, even if I don't use the power of the government or the relationship of the military, it is easy to flatten them with these people.

Especially these people are much better at using firearms than the underworld.
