Yang Xiaotian didn't plan to see Yang Wanli as soon as possible.

Although Yang Wanli is the big boss of Hongmen and has a very high status in the Chinese circle in North America, Yang Xiaotian is a capitalist and does not attach importance to the power of the gang.

In this world, gangs also bully and bully ordinary people, which is not of much use. The former Qinggang boss Du Yuesheng made a vivid analogy: these gangs are actually the night pots of the big people, and the night pots are used to do dirty work afterwards, and when they are not in use, they will stuff the night pot under the bed and hide it. Once the pot is too dirty, just throw it away.

All the gangs that seem to be very beautiful can only survive with the permission of the big guys. The mafia in Sicily was so powerful back then, but when they met Mussolini, a big man who didn't need them, they were beaten to pieces, and their strength was not half a star worse than Mussolini.

North America is relatively relaxed, the funds above are limited, and the police force can only be deployed in the bustling areas of New York, and some corners that cannot be taken care of need to be helped to maintain order. What's more, if the politicians here need to vote, the gang can also pull votes for the politicians, which is still very useful.

As long as the gangs in North America do not do any big and bad things that hurt nature and reason, and do not threaten the long-term peace and stability of North America, the officials in North America will turn a blind eye to the gangs. Just like Hongmen, the reason why it is allowed to exist and develop is actually due to the official logic of "using China to control China".

Anyway, Chinatown and the Chinese world, due to the existence of cultural barriers, white people are more troublesome to manage, in order to reduce management costs, direct communication with Hongmen is a more economical way.

In the most glorious years of Hongmen, like President Roosevelt, he used to be a lawyer in Hongmen. At that time, the situation of the Chinese in North America was not very good, and any Chinese who wanted to be not bullied in North America had to join Hongmen, and everyone joined the group to keep warm. At that time, Hongmen belonged to Situ Daji, and it was prominent for a while, and its influence spread from North America to China.

But since racial discrimination became a sensitive topic in North America and the Chinese Exclusion Act against the Chinese disappeared, Hongmen began to decline. The original Chinese had to rely on Hongmen to gain a foothold in North America, so Hongmen represented almost all the Chinese and was very powerful.

But now the ceiling for the Chinese still exists, but the superficial exclusion has disappeared, and it is not difficult for the Chinese to work hard and mix into the middle class. This led to a new generation of young people who were reluctant to join Hongmen, and coupled with the impact of new Chinese immigrants, Hongmen inevitably declined.

Over the years, Hongmen's sphere of influence has been shrinking, and on the whole, it is Wang Xiaoer's New Year, and every year is not as good as the year.

But whether it is the emaciated camel that is bigger than the horse, even if Hongmen is not as good as in the past, it is still the largest force among the Chinese in North America. Here in North America, there are not many rich Chinese, and the political power is not strong, not because Hongmen is too powerful, but because other forces are too weak.

If Yang Xiaotian wants to make a career in North America, he really doesn't have any good helpers except Hongmen.

In the past, Hongmen was always in charge of the Situ family.

But in the past two decades, the Situ family has fallen into a frenzied infighting, which has allowed outsiders to take advantage. Yang Wanli suddenly rose to prominence and won the support of large and small forces in Hongmen, replacing the Situ family and becoming the leader of Hongmen.

This Yang Wanli is ambitious, obviously not satisfied with the position of a Hongmen leader, he has been trying to make money all these years, in a vain attempt to turn over into a big capitalist. However, it is not so easy to start from scratch and leapfrog from a gang brother to a capitalist.

Yang Xiaotian's arrival was an opportunity for Yang Wanli, so Yang Wanli sent an invitation to Yang Xiaotian as soon as possible, with humble words and a polite attitude, which made people feel good.

Yang Xiaotian didn't mind Yang Wanli's side.

And now, due to yesterday's repeated encounters, Yang Xiaotian found that Hongmen was still very useful, which made Yang Xiaotian have a new idea.

Let Hongmen deal with the Dionysian Gang.

On the one hand, this is a letter for Yang Wanli to give himself.

On the other hand, this is a test of Hongmen's strength.

Yang Xiaotian is not sure how strong Hongmen's power is now, this world pays attention to the exchange of interests, and Yang Xiaotian looks at the gang with the thinking of a capitalist. In Yang Xiaotian's view, Hongmen is a company, and he has to value this company in order to determine the price he pays.

……

Chinatown.

As the name suggests, Chinatown is a community where Chinese gather, and this is the case in North America, where different races do not mix. Whites don't live in black neighborhoods, and blacks don't generally live in Chinese neighborhoods.

Because historically, the Tang Dynasty in China was relatively powerful and far-reaching, so the area where Chinese gathered was called Chinatown.

New York's Chinatown is not remote, and it can even be said to be in the prime location of New York, because just a wall away from Chinatown is the famous Wall Street.

That's the heart of the North American economy.

If North America is compared to a person, then Wall Street is the heart of North America.

There, it represents a gluttonous feast of wealth, and the world's capital is concentrated on Wall Street, which determines the market of the world economy through the stock market in North America. As far as the Middle East, the price of soybeans in South America, the price of rice in India, the light industrial products in China, the automobiles in Japan, the raw materials in Africa, all the fluctuations of the world's economy, the prosperity and decline of trade, all depend on the game of capital on Wall Street.

The riches there are incalculable.

And adjacent to Chinatown, there is also the center of North American literature and art, the famous Broadway. It was a stage show, representing the highest level of art in North America, and even Hollywood had to bow down.

But Chinatown, just across the wall, is a different story.

Chinatown is not very safe, and it is very dangerous to go out at night, so there are many homeless people here. The Chinese living in Chinatown are not very wealthy, so Chinatown shows the poor and backward face of New York. There have been newspapers reporting on the chaos in Chinatown, but nothing has been done about it.

Many of the Chinese in Chinatown don't even speak English at all, and many are illegal immigrants who come from far and wide to serve dishes.

Of course, the high-level of Hongmen are all very mixed. Most of them, in fact, don't live in Chinatown and have bought homes in upscale Manhattan neighborhoods. It's just that Chinatown still has Hongmen's industry, and Hongmen's branch is set up here.

If you want to work, you still work in Chinatown.

At this time, Chinatown was a lively scene.

In order to welcome Yang Xiaotian's arrival, Yang Wanli did not put much effort into it.

He specially organized manpower to make the atmosphere as lively as the Spring Festival.

Anyway, it's almost the Spring Festival, so it's time to rehearse in advance.
