Chapter 619: Reactions From All Parties (Please Collect, Recommend, and Vote) 4500 Words Happy New Year!
"Kingpin?!" Eva obviously couldn't keep up with her father. Others may not know the relationship between his father and Kingpin, but she knows it all too well. It can be said that their family's business in New York and even the entire East Coast is inextricably linked to the Kingpin. Especially New York.
Kingpin's public identity is Wilson Fisk, a successful real estate and energy businessman who owns the largest gas station chain in New York State, and is also a philanthropist and art collector.
The identity can be said to be quite positive.
There are very few people who know his true identity, and Donald is one of those few people, because when Fix was just a small mafia boss, Donald had certain business dealings with him.
Eva couldn't understand what her father was thinking. Deal with Kingpin? That's not to deal with themselves. If the bad things that happened in their family's past are revealed, it will be a disaster! Don't talk about running at that time, it might even cause the tax department to scrutinize their family. You must know that the growth and development of their family in recent years will never be as clean as it seems on the surface.
In the eyes of many people, Donald is a sensational clown and a bastard who likes to show off. If he hadn't had a good father to watch, he would never have become a rich man.
But is this really the case?
There are lucky successes in this world, but there is absolutely no such luck as always being successful.
Is Donald really as bad as he appears? Perhaps, that's what Donald wants you to see. How could an arrogant fool allow his business to expand across the United States? How could a good-for-nothing bastard be so high-profile and arrogant but never capsize once?
This is not something that can be achieved simply by family background and luck.
No, even his daughter was deceived by his 'illusion'.
"No, no, no, Eva. In fact, this has always been what I want to do. Don't forget, if I want to join politics, my cooperation with Kingpin will definitely be a stain on me! In this case, why should I What if I hand this stain over to my opponent instead of doing it myself? You must know that once the enemy grasps this stain, it will immediately become a weapon to attack me. But if I do it myself, I will take the initiative. The power is in my hands!"
At this time, Donald became very wise, even wily!
He was never stupid, and he acted exactly as he wanted others to think him. If you really take him for a fool...that's the real fool.
Eva looked at her father.
She had always known that her father was not as helpless as he seemed. In fact, in the country of the United States, if you don't have the corresponding capabilities, you can't keep your property and status, and the higher you go, the more so!
Competition is everywhere, and the closer you get to the pyramid, the fiercer the competition.
But she still underestimated her father.
"But... what about Kingpin's counterattack?" Eva said after calming down.
As the heir favored by Donald, Eva is no fool. In fact, the heirs of such a large family may have questionable abilities, but the city has no shortage of them! Real fools are not qualified to be heirs. For example, Eva's brothers and sisters are what people think of as typical rich second generations. They don't have much ability, but they are proficient in everything they eat, drink and have fun.
"Well, this is indeed a problem." If Kingpin was really that easy to deal with, he wouldn't be alive now. But Donald was not afraid of him. It's not that the Donald family also controls some power and can compete with Jin Bin.
If he really had these things, Donald wouldn't bother to jump into politics.
What really made Donald emboldened Kingpin was his identity!
A super famous billionaire!
This is the United States, a country of money. Although money does not represent everything, it is the rule of society. Here, billionaires are destined to have unimaginable influence. Does Kingpin dare to kill Donald?
Of course I dare!
But the premise is that no one finds the slightest clue!
This society has its own operating rules, and rich people are at the top of the pyramid of this society! All rules and order operate from the top of this pyramid!
Under this rule, Donald can deal with Jin Bin and even kill him, but Jin Bin cannot do the same. He can fight back and even cause Donald to suffer losses, but he can never threaten Donald's life or even destroy Donald. Family businesses can’t do it either.
Because once he does this, he will become a destroyer of order!
No one will tolerate such people!
No matter how powerful Kingpin was, he could not fight against the entire social order.
Therefore, even if Donald is not confident, he still has the confidence to fall out with Kingpin.
Of course the timing is perfect!
The mayor of New York City died because of the gang war... I believe the federal government is also very angry now, right?
Now Donald's indifference to the New York gang war has turned from indifference to extreme concern! He needs the war to get more intense. Only in this way, New Yorkers will become more disgusted with the gangs. Only in this way can he gain greater support!
"By the way...Dad, was the mayor...really assassinated because of the gang war?"
In fact, Eva was a little confused when she got the news. Are American gangs really that powerful? Kill the mayor of New York City?
"Haha, this is really hard to say." Donald showed a mysterious smile.
He knew some inside information, but he didn't plan to tell Eva.
Because according to Donald's plan, his family will eventually complete the transformation in his hands! From an ordinary wealthy family to a big family that can hold power!
Why does Donald want to participate in politics?
Isn't it good to be a billionaire? Being a rich man is much more comfortable than being a president! In this country, the president can be scolded casually, because no president dares to do anything extreme because of others scolding him, but the rich are different. If you dare to scold, you will be sued!
There is only one reason for him to do this, that is, his career and family business have reached a bottleneck!
Donald's family is nothing in the whole United States, and his family background is too poor. Their family really made a fortune in his father's generation, and they are not rich and powerful. They can only be regarded as a small real estate company in New York City. They are rich people, but not rich people.
After he took control of the family business, it took decades to reach the scale today. He has never been able to truly integrate into the top elite class.
He clearly knew that his family business had reached a bottleneck.
First of all, his main business was real estate... In this era, the real estate industry in the United States has no potential to be tapped. The economic structure has destined that real estate companies cannot grow, because it is meaningless. Except for a few large cities in the United States, housing prices in other regions are not too expensive. For example, New York City, where housing prices are the most expensive, can be lived in New York. They can work in New York and live in New Jersey.
In this case, supply exceeds demand, so prices will fluctuate relatively speaking. How can real estate developers make money without real estate speculation?
So, Donald's family business can only be like this.
Unless they enter other industries, such as finance, high-tech and electronics.
This kind of thing is easy to say, but it is difficult to do.
At least the Donald family does not have the ability to enter other industries in a big way. It took them so many years to enter the hotel industry before they have a little improvement now. Entering other industries again? At least Donald himself is not optimistic.
So if you want to break through the bottleneck, the best way is to go into politics.
In this regard, the Kennedy family has set the best example!
This is how the Kennedy family completed the transformation.
So Donald only needs to repeat this process.
Of course, there will be many difficulties, and it may even be like the Kennedy family, but Donald still decided to give it a try.
He is the one who changed the fate of the family.
And the biggest reason for doing this is to change the attributes of the family.
He needs to cut off some things.
For example, the secret of the mayor's murder.
This is related to a mysterious organization-the High Table!
This organization cannot be related to his successor. If these things can be unrelated, it is best not to be related.
…
Just when Donald was ambitious, Kingpin instinctively felt the threat.
The mayor of New York is dead!
Kingpin was stunned by the news. He didn't expect the High Table to do this!
This gang war dates back to a few years ago.
As the king of New York, Kingpin will naturally have connections with the High Table, but they are more like collaborators. Kingpin never intends to join the High Table, not because the High Table is not strong enough, but because he can't see his future in the High Table.
The highest authority of the High Table is the Twelve Seats of the High Table.
The Twelve Seats of the High Table are always controlled by the twelve families that founded the High Table.
The most he joined was a senior vassal of one of the twelve families of the Twelve Seats of the High Table! Although this set of rules can indeed allow vassals to become actual power holders and use the family they depend on as a shield, rules are rules. Even if Jin Bing is powerful, he can't really become the Twelve Seats of the High Table, and he must be careful of being backstabbed at any time. The Twelve Families of the High Table have been playing this way for years. They may indeed lose power for a while, but they will soon "return the power to the people."
Jin Bing actually doesn't mind temporarily submitting to others. He also came from the bottom, which is not shameful.
But he can't stand it if he can't see a future.
So the High Table and Jin Bing have always been in cooperation, and there is no superior-subordinate relationship.
Until Jin Bing got in touch with another force.
The Hand!
This gang organization from Japan has rapidly developed its power in the United States in recent decades. Inevitably, it will conflict with the High Table. The High Table did think about incorporating the Hand into the High Table system, but unfortunately, the organization was very disdainful of the High Table's recruitment.
So the two began to have various conflicts.
During the previous Los Angeles gang war, the Japanese ninjas and a group of mysterious killers fought each other, which was a microcosm of the conflict between the two.
So the cooperation between Kingpin and the Hand became closer, and the High Table was naturally unlikely to continue to tolerate Kingpin sitting under the throne of New York.
So after the last warning, the High Table and Kingpin finally broke out in war.
Just a while ago, a group of Russian gangs suddenly entered New York and destroyed several warehouses of Kingpin at once!
These Russian gangs are real gangs from Russia, not gangs that have been in New York before.
Here we need to talk about the form of world gangs.
When many people think of gangs, they think of the American mafia and think how awesome these mafia are. But in fact, in the ranking of the world's criminal organizations, American gangsters have always been the younger brothers, which means that the gangsters in the Western Era are relatively decent. The mafia after that can only be said to be barely adequate, but now...the black gangsters are simply not enough.
They are world-famous only thanks to the powerful propaganda capabilities of the United States.
The most terrifying gangster forces in the world today are divided into three waves.
They are from Latin America, Russia and Albania.
Not to mention those in Latin America, such as MS-13, Mexican drug lords, Latin Kings, Brazilian gangs, etc. They are absolutely notorious. Even the local government can't do anything about them. Those who are interested can Go check the information and it will definitely subvert your three views.
Albanian gangs may sound unimpressive, but in fact they have gradually become a nightmare for European countries. The most inhumane, least disciplined, and most beautiful gang is the Albanian gang. However, they do not operate in the United States, so Americans have little impression of them, so we will not talk about them for now.
The most international ones are the gangs from Russia. There are profound historical reasons for their formation.
It was the collapse of the Soviet Union that led to the rise of Russian gangs. The disintegration of the Soviet Union left a huge vacuum in all aspects of Russian society, morality, and economic life. Russian gangs took the opportunity to fill the void and control a large amount of social wealth. In addition, the constant conflicts between various factions in the Russian government institutions have made some officials caught among them worry about their own situation, and driven them to maximize their use of their powers and reap substantial material benefits. And using corrupt officials to benefit themselves is the gang's best skill. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the living standards of the Russian people dropped sharply, while criminals became rich overnight. As a result, psychological imbalance led to terrible changes in values, and many social talents at that time began to flow into gangs!
This gave the Russian gangs an extremely strong motivation.
This situation reached its peak when Yelchin's shock therapy almost killed Russia!
Later, the Russian gangsters needed money, talent, and talent, and they even had no shortage of weapons (after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of weapons went to these gangsters, and there were even jokes about American agents buying nuclear submarines from Russian gangsters on the streets). With these things, the power of the Russian gang began to expand crazily!
Now the best international gangsters in the world come to Russia.
They are organized, disciplined, able to fight, ferocious, and a proper gangster version of the Bear.
When such a powerful force settled in New York, it was naturally Kingpin who made the biggest impression.
For a time, Kingpin's power was greatly affected. More importantly, Kingpin lost many good players in Los Angeles, which put him under great pressure. This is why even though Jin Bin suffered such a big loss in Los Angeles, he did not seek revenge.
Because I don’t have time.
In order to completely suppress these outsiders, Kingpin had to use some means.
Use political means!
Although the mayor of New York City is very compatible with the political views of President Benjamin, he also has the Cold War plot of most Americans. He is very wary of and hates the Russians!
This was exploited by Kingpin. He used his friends in the government to exert influence on the mayor, and then used the mayor's attitude to leverage law enforcement agencies, hit the Russians hard, and taught the Russians a lesson. Dayton!
causing them heavy losses.
I didn’t expect the reaction behind the high table would be so horrific.
They killed the mayor directly...
When Kingpin got the news, he almost immediately cursed!
He thought he had no bottom line, but he didn't expect that the other party was completely crazy and didn't care about anything at all!
This is going to overturn the entire table!
A rhythm that no one can play well?
Kingpin could only imagine how angry the federal government was and the pressure he would face!
