Chapter 688 Chinatown and Hongmen
After Xu Yang and Wang Xiaocong left, they returned to the hotel.
During dinner in the evening, I told Liu Qiangxi and Ma Huateng about the situation.
Both of them were satisfied with this.
The incident involving Kane's father Parritt could put the head of the Brook family, Noreden, in jail.
Coupled with the fact that Noreden arrests homeless drug addicts and stowaways and engages in organ trafficking, it should not be difficult to imprison Noreden for life.
With the financial resources of the four of them and Hongmen's help, they can hire a powerful legal team.
Once Noreden is taken care of, there is no need for them to take action. If they say hello to the rival families and organizations of the Brooke family, the Brooke family will be absolutely doomed.
the next day.
The four of them took a car arranged by the hotel and headed to Chinatown.
The Hongmen headquarters is located in Chinatown, New City.
Hongmen is a gang organization.
In today's society, gangs can only bully ordinary people.
Du Yuesheng, a gang leader in the Republic of China, used a very vivid metaphor for gang organizations.
He said that gang organizations are like chamber pots for big shots. When needed, they do all the dirty work, and when not needed, they are stuffed under the bed.
If the chamber pot is dirty and you don't want to clean it, just throw it away.
If all teenagers knew this metaphor of Mr. Du, I'm afraid there would be far fewer people joining society.
Big figures allow gang organizations to exist, and gang organizations have the soil to survive.
In the blink of an eye, gangs can be wiped out.
The Sicilian Mafia is awesome enough.
But when they met Mussolini, a ruthless man who didn't need them, he was instantly maimed and crippled.
No matter how powerful the Mafia was, it could not compare to the armed forces controlled by Mussolini.
The official funds for maintaining public security in the United States are not that sufficient, so the police can only deploy police forces in prosperous areas of the city.
Nothing can be done about the ghettos, so gangs are needed to maintain order.
And officials want votes and need help from gangs.
Therefore, the living conditions of gang organizations in beautiful countries are relatively good.
As long as they don't do anything outrageous and don't threaten the national security of Beautiful Country, the officials of Beautiful Country will acquiesce in the existence of gang organizations.
Hongmen is a Chinese gang organization that is officially recognized by the United States as a gang.
Of course, the main reason for this acquiescence is that the big figures in the Chinese officialdom want to adopt the strategy of "using China to control China".
Due to cultural differences, the management of communities where Chinese are concentrated is more troublesome.
In order to manage Chinese communities well and reduce management costs, it is a more economical and effective way to give some power to Hongmen and let Hongmen help manage it.
Hongmen had a very glorious era.
It was during the time when Roosevelt was serving as commander-in-chief.
Roosevelt was Hongmen's lawyer. After Roosevelt took office as the commander-in-chief, he naturally took care of Hongmen because of his past friendship.
At that time, Hongmen's influence spread all over the beautiful countries, and even had considerable influence in Europe.
It's just that this glory was very short-lived. With Roosevelt's resignation, it was gone.
Moreover, the rapid development of Hongmen at the beginning was related to the Chinese Exclusion Act of the beautiful country. The introduction of the Chinese Exclusion Act resulted in a very harsh living environment for the Chinese in the beautiful country. The Chinese joined the group to keep warm and wanted to be protected by Hongmen. Hongmen.
Later, when the Chinese Exclusion Act disappeared and the living environment of the Chinese improved, they no longer had much willingness to join Hongmen.
In the past, the Chinese had to rely on Hongmen to survive in the beautiful country. Hongmen was naturally strong.
It's different now. Although Chinese people still have many restrictions in the beautiful country, the exclusion of Chi Guoguo no longer exists.
As long as Chinese people work hard, there is no problem in becoming a middle class person.
Therefore, today's young people have no idea of joining Hongmen, and Hongmen will inevitably decline.
Over the years, Hongmen's strength has continued to decline, just like Wang Xiaoer's New Year celebrations, which are getting worse year by year.
But no matter what, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Hongmen cannot be compared with the past, let alone the most glorious era, it is still the largest Chinese organization in the beautiful country.
As Xu Yang said, they are all Chinese, relatively friendly and trustworthy. When Chinese encounter some troubles and cannot solve them through legitimate channels, they prefer to go to Hongmen to solve them.
Of course, as I said before, you have to have money.
If there is no money, Hongmen will not help.
Even if you die, Hongmen will ignore you.
…
Chinatown.
A community where Chinese people are concentrated.
Since the Tang Dynasty in Chinese history was a relatively powerful dynasty with a very liberal foreign policy and the greatest influence in the West, overseas Chinese settlements are called Chinatowns.
The location of New City's Chinatown is quite good, with the famous Wall Street just across the wall.
Wall Street is the economic center of the beautiful country.
If you think of the beautiful country as a person, that is the heart of the beautiful country.
Wall Street represents wealth, where global capital gathers.
Wall Street is not only the economic center of the beautiful country, but also the economic center of the world.
Funds from all over the world gather on Wall Street, forming a global economic barometer through the stock markets of beautiful countries.
Whether it is the price of oil in the Middle East, the price of soybeans in South America, the price of rice in Assange, the price of industrial products in China, the price of raw materials in Africa, etc., they are all determined by the capital game of Wall Street.
Adjacent to Chinatown is the Beautiful Country Art Center.
The world-famous Broadway is there, and the stage plays performed there represent the highest art of the beautiful country.
However, the scene in Chinatown is incomparable to Wall Street and the Art Center.
The security situation in Chinatown is not very good, and it is quite dangerous to go out at night because there are many homeless people here.
Most of the Chinese living in Chinatown have poor economic conditions.
Chinatown in New City, one of the world's largest metropolises, represents the poor and backward side.
Some Chinese media have reported on the situation in Chinatown, but they have not attracted official attention, and the situation has not improved.
Many Chinese people in Chinatown don't even speak English.
There are also some illegal immigrants who traveled thousands of miles to come to the beautiful country and worked as dishwashers in restaurants.
Of course, now that China's economy is improving, there are very few illegal immigrants.
The situation in Chinatown has also improved to a certain extent.
But it's still incomparable to those clean and tidy white communities.
As the head of Hongmen Zhongyi Hall, Chen Buhui's living standard is naturally the highest in Chinatown.
In fact, the middle and high-level people in Hongmen do not live in Chinatown, but only work in Chinatown.
They all have their own luxurious houses in upscale neighborhoods in Manhattan.
People like Chen Buhui can already be regarded as powerful and wealthy people.
As long as the big shots in the beautiful country don't touch them, they can live very well in the beautiful country.
Now Chen Buhui, with his two sons and several key members of Zhongyi Hall, stood at the entrance of Chinatown to welcome the arrival of Xu Yang and his party.
Passers-by were surprised to see them standing at the door.
I wonder who is so proud that Chen Buhui welcomes him here.
Many people stopped and watched, wanting to see who Chen Buhui was waiting for.
