Chapter 102: The Four Great Forces
Seoul Gimpo International Airport.
Due to the heaviest rain of the year, some flights were cancelled at Gimpo International Airport for safety reasons. But there are also a few sporadic flights still in operation. However, these flights are short-haul flights, and most of them are domestic.
At this time, a plane from Busan to Seoul slowly landed on the airport runway. After a while, the passengers walked out of the cabin door one after another.
And at the airport, there was already a group of people waiting. These people are all in suits and leather shoes, and they look very stylish. A group of people just waited.
And when a young man appeared at the airport, the group was greeted by everyone. The leader was a middle-aged man, looking at the young man and smiling: "Qingmo!
The young man pulled his simple luggage, looked at the people in front of him, and muttered, "What a bad weather!"
"Well, this rain is a bit out of place. The middle-aged man smiled and said, "But it's really good that you're here, everyone has a backbone." ”
"The weather was bad, but I was in a good mood. "The young man had long hair, and he even looked a little delicate. Looking at the rainy day outside the window, he said quietly: "Seoul, my hometown." At least until I mess it up. I'm Li Qingmo, I'm going home!"
Li Qingmo enjoyed the air of Seoul for a while, and then frowned again: "It seems that in the past few years in Busan, I have been treated like a bun." When I suddenly smelled the air in Seoul, I felt so disgusting. Uncle He, are you used to it?"
The middle-aged man named Uncle He smiled: "It should be your psychological effect!"
"Makes sense. Maybe I think I'm in the same city with those guys, that's why I feel extremely disgusting!" Li Qingmo smiled: "Let's go, talk about things on the way." It just so happened that I wanted to visit someone. ”
Then a group of people followed Li Qingmo out of the airport, and there were already many cars waiting outside the airport, and a group of people got into the car. The car started and headed for somewhere in Seoul.
In the car, Li Qingmo and Uncle He sat side by side. Li Qingmo was drowsy and yawned. Then he asked, "I'm here this time, the old guys should have gotten the news." Nothing happens?"
Uncle He replied, "No, it's quiet." Or maybe it's because we're not well-informed. It could also be that your visit to Seoul this time was too sudden, and they didn't expect it at all. So I haven't seen what the situation is yet. ”
"Well, it's the latter. Li Qingmo smiled self-deprecatingly: "I guess they still think that my temper will never go back to Seoul for the rest of my life." Hahaha! Don't talk about them, even I think so myself. ”
Uncle He bowed his head in response, but did not speak.
"What's going on in Seoul? You should have already investigated, right?" asked Li Qingmo continued.
Uncle He nodded: "Yes." It's a bit different from what we expected. Now, according to our understanding, there are nearly 200 small organizations in Seoul. ”
"Two hundred, so many?" asked Li Qingmo.
"That's right, these two hundred are not all dedicated to underground business, most of them have already been whitewashed. It's just that because there is still this background, it is counted in it. And some of these small organizations may have as many as five or six people. Nor are they individual individuals, they also have their own interconnections. In general, the division of power in Seoul is already saturated, and these large and small organizations are almost divided into four factions. ”
"Oh, that's pretty much it. If there were really so many, I wouldn't even bother to get them one by one. Li Qingmo tilted his head and asked, "Go on." What's going on with the four factions?"
"Because of the oppression of the police and the pressure of survival in recent years, many organizations can no longer support themselves. Some of them were simply laundered and turned into serious companies. Some were disbanded, or all were in prison. And the rest of them are all weak. Seoul is the most oily place, but the small organization is completely untouchable. So over the years, a basement has slowly formed. In general, it is divided into four parts. ”
Uncle He said, taking out a map of Seoul from the side: "With the Han River as the boundary, the dozen districts of Seoul can be roughly divided into four large areas: Jiangnan, Jiangbei, Jiangxi, and Jiangdong. ”
Li Qingmo looked at the map and asked, "What are they?"
Uncle He replied: "The vast majority of the forces north of the Han River, including Aorwon, Dobong, Dongdaemun, and Seongbuk, are controlled by the Korean Hotel. ”
"Korean Hotel?" Li Qingmo was usually lazy and didn't know about these things, so he asked, "You can talk slowly." I haven't been to Seoul for more than a decade, and I don't know any of these things. But it's ridiculous that the entire Han River is controlled by a single hotel, right?"
"Not really. This is just a name, and the main business is not a restaurant, but a loan shark and gambling. The members are all Seoul natives and very xenophobic, so it is called the Korean Hotel. In fact, in private, it is called a human flesh restaurant. Because they all live by squeezing other people's money through dirty means. ”
"Hehe, these self-righteous Seoulians. Li Qingmo smiled disdainfully: "It's hard to understand, where did the Korean Seoulites get their sense of superiority? The discrimination between Seoulites and outsiders is actually greater than that between Koreans and foreigners!"
"Well, that's exactly what happened. Uncle He said: "Since the purge a few years ago, everyone has kept a low profile. At that time, the whole force was blank, so there was a lot of fighting in the dark. As a result, Seoul locals have made up a gang, and outsiders and some foreigners have made up a gang, which is indeed a bit sad. ”
"Well, the Seoulite gang is in Gangbuk, the Korean Hotel. So does the gang of outsiders and foreigners still exist?" asked Li Qingmo.
"There is, west of the Han River, across the Han River from the Korean Hotel, and the two districts of Mapo and Yeongdeng are the main gathering places. Uncle He took out a notebook from his pocket and looked at it: "We are more familiar with this force, because after we came to Seoul, we have only come into contact with this force." ”
"What's it called?hillbilly league?or the redneck association?" asked Li Qingmo curiously.
"It's not so ugly, it's called the Alliance of Outlanders. Because the main composition is not Seoul natives, or even Koreans, it is called this name. The Stranger Alliance and the Korean Hotel were hostile, and in the beginning, it was the Korean Hotel that prevailed. Later, a group of Vietnamese smuggled in formed a Vietnamese gang, which was very fierce. The Outlander Alliance absorbed the Vietnamese Gang, and since then it has become the Outlander Alliance to suppress the Korean Hotel. ”
"No wonder! Compared to us, we are also strangers!" Li Qingmo nodded and said, "Go on, there are still two districts!"
"East of the Han River, well, this force is relatively simple, they are mainly of the younger generation, and the roots are not particularly deep. The predecessor was the famous biker party in Seoul, and then the boss was arrested and sentenced to life, and then the entire organization collapsed. However, it was later organized and is now called an underground garage. It mainly makes profits by gambling cars and loan sharks. This force is not too strong, and it is mainly focused on profits. ”
"Underground garage? Li Qingmo nodded, and then said, "Speaking of which, those three places are average." The most important thing in Seoul is Gangnam! Did you put Gangnam at the end and say it was to whet my appetite?"
"It's not, it's just that Jiangnan ......" Uncle He said helplessly: "The situation in Jiangnan is a bit special. Such an important place in Jiangnan will definitely be different from other places, right? It is the place with the highest concentration of various industries, and the more this is the case, the more profitable it is. But again, the stronger the official control over the place. So the richer the place, the less this underground power actually has. Jiangnan is similar, there are almost no small and fragmented organizations, but there is still a force. ”
