Chapter 594: Gang
At noon, the Xujia restaurant was full of people.
Xu Qing's family, grandfather, a few of their old friends, and a few principals of Chinatown sat at the same table.
The atmosphere of the meal is still very harmonious, no matter what, everyone is Chinese, and the communication is in Chinese, and the food is still quite happy.
It is said that Chinese people like to talk during meals, but Xu Qing found that not only Chinese people, but also people from almost all countries are like this, especially the more people at the banquet, the more people talk.
In fact, this is very easy to understand, dozens of people eat together, and then everyone does not eat, and eats silently, how weird the scene will be.
It's just that Chinese people prefer to drink when eating, and then they drink high and speak loudly, resulting in a phenomenon that Chinese people like to talk very much when eating.
This year, the people who ate at noon did not drink alcohol, because six of the people who did eat were elderly people over 70 years old and could not drink.
But the voice is still loud, because everyone eats happily and speaks loudly.
Xu Qing had known that this would be the case, so he handed Isabella over to the nanny before eating.
Sitting next to Xu Qing's right hand is Sophia, and next to his left hand is a Chinatown principal.
The few Chinatown principals who are here today are not officially appointed government officials in the United States, but a few Chinese who are more prestigious in San Francisco's Chinatown.
The family business of these people is also okay, tens of millions of dollars, mainly because the relationship with all parties is not bad, and they have been promoting the development of Chinatown, so their prestige in Chinatown is relatively high.
But Xu Qing felt that their original intentions were good, Xu Qing knew what they were doing, but the effect was definitely not as good as they wanted.
Chinatown will decline more and more, and there are various reasons, so I won't say much.
In fact, San Francisco's Chinatown is quite complicated, with more than 100,000 Chinese living there, and there are all kinds of people, and gangs are indispensable.
According to Xu Qing's understanding, there are several powerful gangs in Chinatown, and these gangs do almost everything, but they don't dare to make it bigger.
One is that he does not have that strength, and the other is that he is afraid of being attacked by the American government.
The U.S. government turns a blind eye to these gangs, and as long as it doesn't exceed their tolerance, they won't care.
Anyway, these gangs are still quite good at fighting in the nest, and it is a bit cowardly with gangs in other countries and gangs in the United States.
Xu Qing has never been in contact with them, the two sides are not in the same world at all, and the gap is too big.
I didn't want to take care of these gangs, the dark side is impossible to eliminate, and he is not the government, why should he care.
The principal of Chinatown, who was sitting on Xu Qing's left, told Xu Qing about the Chinatown gangs.
The main content is that the biggest gang in Chinatown has recently come into contact with drug lords on the Mexican side, and some drug pins have been shipped to sell in Chinatown, which is very harmful.
Before, these gangs did almost everything, but they also said almost, there are still some things they won't do.
Drug pins and human trafficking are two things they won't do.
The main source of income of the Chinatown gangs is through their own shops, companies, protection money, extortion, extortion and kidnapping, usury, etc.
Relying on these means, they can live a decent life, not as nourished by the native gangs in the United States, but they can survive.
The person in charge only told Xu Qing about it, and didn't tell Xu Qing that he wanted Xu Qing to help or anything.
This is also the cleverness of this principal, he knows that he told Xu Qing about this, and Xu Qing must understand the purpose of what he said about it.
If Xu Qing is willing to help, he will help without him asking, and if he is not willing to help, it is useless to ask.
This person in charge also had no choice but to talk to Xu Qing about it, originally he couldn't talk to Xu Qing about such a thing, so as not to give Xu Qing a bad impression.
But that gang has been going too far lately, and they can't manage it, and neither will the American government.
The American government's tolerance for Chinatown gangs is higher than that of native American gangs, so let's not talk about why it is higher.
It's just trafficking, and the American government doesn't care about it at all.
Unless it's a Chinatown gang that kills more than a dozen people, or an incident that has a big impact, they don't care.
These principals in Chinatown thought about it, and only Xu Qing was the one who could take care of this matter.
With Xu Qing's strength, it would be easy to eliminate that gang.
Xu Qing only said to the person in charge that he didn't say anything after eating, and continued to eat, on this occasion, it was not appropriate to say this kind of thing.
The principal breathed a sigh of relief, and Xu Qing said that he would talk about it after eating, indicating that Xu Qing had a high probability of taking care of that gang.
The principal didn't talk about the gang anymore, but talked to Xu Qing about all kinds of gonzo about Chinatown.
Xu Qing is very happy to listen to this kind of anecdote, which is quite interesting.
Everyone ate and drank until about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and then the guests left, and Xu Qing's family and a few old friends drank tea and chatted in the lounge of Xujia Restaurant.
Xu Qing stayed in the lounge for a while, then left the lounge and came to another lounge, where the few Chinatown principals were waiting for Xu Qing.
Xu Qing waved his hand so that they didn't have to be polite, and Xu Qing sat down and began to let them talk about the gang.
After more than half an hour of their description, Xu Qing understood why the gang suddenly had a connection with the drug lords on the Mexican side.
It's a very old-fashioned story, the eldest brother of the gang died, and then his son took over, feeling that he couldn't make money just by extortion and blackmail, and the gang couldn't grow.
The new big brother thought of a new source of income, that is, drug pins, so the gang got in touch with the drug lords on the Mexican side and started selling du in Chinatown.
Poison pins have existed in Chinatown for a long time, but they are all small gangs fighting petty, and these principals also know that drug pins cannot be banned.
The American government can't ban it, and what can they do?
But that gang is the largest gang in Chinatown, and its hawkers are completely different from those small gangs, and its influence is at least ten or dozens of times greater.
Xu Qing was willing to take care of this matter, but he was thinking about how to manage it.
There are two ways, one is to let the San Francisco police take care of it, Xu Qing has a very good relationship with the San Francisco police, and it is also a credit to catch gang members, they will be happy to exterminate that gang.
There is another way, that is, Xu Qing sent someone to kill the gang, and the person who sent the person here is the person who sent the Xu family's armed forces.
There are pros and cons to both approaches, the disadvantage of the first is that it gives the impression that outsiders are meddling in Chinatown.
The disadvantage of the second way is that I don't know what the attitude of the American government is towards the Xu family's armed forces to eliminate the Chinatown gangs.
