Chapter 48 Backer

"Ji-hyun, Ja-hyun, you go to Director Teller, Ye-jin and Chae-young, you go to Director Stephen, I've already informed them. Forty-five days later, we met in San Francisco. "At New York's JFK International Airport, Lee Jae-chul instructed a few people.

"Eh, aren't you going with Jae-cheol?" Choo Ja Hyun wondered.

"I can't, there's still work to be done in New York. ”

"Inside, then you remember to take care of yourself. The woman said softly, her tone full of concern.

Jun Ji-hyun looked at her strangely, and then waved at Lee Jae-cheol, "Then let's go, bye-bye." After speaking, he reached out and dragged Choo Ja Hyun into the security check.

"Chaeyoung, you grew up in the United States, and you usually take care of Ye-jin. Seeing the two daughters leave, Lee Jae-chul turned to Han Chaeyoung and said.

"Yes, I don't need you to say I will. Han Chaeyoung pursed her lips, grabbed Son Ye-jin's arm, and looked intimate, "Ye-jin and I have a good relationship, right." ”

"Inside. Son Ye-jin smiled and nodded.

"......" For some reason, Lee Jae-chul seems to smell the aroma of oranges.

After putting the group on the plane, Lee Jae-chul left by car, and next, he was going to Chinatown.

On the direct flight to Los Angeles, Jun Ji-hyun had been staring at Choo Ja Hyun for several minutes.

Feeling uncomfortable when she saw it, Choo Ja Hyun hesitated, "Ji-hyun, is there something wrong with me?"

"Now, Ja Hyun. Jun Ji-hyun held Choo Ja Hyun's hand with a sincere expression, "You, like Jae-cheol?"

"Why, what are you talking about? Hearing this, Choo Ja Hyun's cheeks flushed and he denied it again and again.

"No, I just think you care about him. ”

"That's as it should be. Choo Ja Hyun said that it was a matter of course, "If it wasn't for him, I don't know what would have happened now." ”

"You've known each other before?" Jun Ji-hyun said curiously.

"Inside. ”

"Can you tell me about it?" Jun Ji-hyun showed great interest in Lee Jae-cheol's past.

"Hmm. Without refusal, Choo Ja Hyun began to reminisce about her first encounter with Lee Jae-chul.

"I was ...... after graduating from high school at that time"

………………

Walk into the quaint Chinese building and walk through the cloister, where traditional wooden chairs are placed.

Dressed in casual clothes, Lee Jae-chul sat directly in the first seat on the left.

In a few moments, a middle-aged man who looked to be forty or fifty years old walked into the hall. Behind him was a lean man, with a scar on his face, which looked extremely hideous, and his bare hands were covered with calluses, which should be caused by years of boxing.

The middle-aged man sat down opposite Lee Jae-cheol, picked up the tea on the table, and took a sip.

"I didn't expect you to come to me on your own initiative. ”

"Since I made a promise, I won't break my promise. ”

"Then tell me about your plans. The middle-aged man laughed.

"First of all, let your men co-opt the small forces in the north. Lee Jae-chul said lightly, "The gangs with deep roots are mainly located in the south, and most of the gangs in the north are outsiders and weak local forces. After that, it expanded mainly in Gangwon Province. But remember, the Red Gang will never be able to unify the Korean underground, and the government will not agree to it. And to do so, you have to get the tacit approval of the government. ”

"I know that after so many years of hard work in the United States, I still understand this rule. The middle-aged man bowed his head.

"It's not easy to subdue those small gangs, force and prestige alone are not enough. Lee Jae-chul continued, "The sense of national independence in South Korea is extremely strong, so my suggestion is to divide the Korean Red Gang into two factions, one dominated by the Koreans and yours. ”

"You mean, let my people grab the land and divide half of it?" the middle-aged man was expressionless.

"Whether you agree with my plan or not, that's your business. Moreover, the Red Gang doesn't care how much benefit they can get in South Korea, you just want to wash away the shame you had at the beginning. Lee Jae-chul looked at him, "You must know that in the past five years, even if you tried your best, you only created a few small gangs, and gangs such as Kim Dae-jung, Yang Eun, and Seven Stars have always been curbing your pace, and this time is your only chance." ”

"Do you have a way to get these roadblocks out of the way?"

"In '03, Kim Dae-jung will step down, and my goal is to be the next president. ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged man laughed, "I know that you are the second young master of Samsung, but just relying on this background is like interfering in the election, it is too conceited." ”

"Samsung can only be regarded as a government ATM, so naturally it is not able to influence the election, but I can. Taking a sip of tea, Lee Jae-cheol crossed his hands and said calmly: "Grasp the psychological trend of the people, it is easy to win the election, to put it bluntly, it is just a game to win people's hearts." ”

"I want to hear about it. ”

"There are a lot of deficiencies in Korean law, and there is an 80% chance of winning the election from this aspect. ”

“80%……”

"It's not low, isn't it the world's second-largest Red Gang that doesn't even have the guts to fight?"

After pondering for a long time, the middle-aged man named Yang Qingcheng, the head of the New York branch of the Red Gang, nodded and said, "I agree with your plan, do you have a candidate for the leader of the Korean family?"

"Of course. ”

"Well, I will give you a group of people, and you will command it, and the unification of the north can be handed over to them and the small faction that was established before. ”

"Don't you need to ask the above?" Lee Jae-chul was referring to the controller of the entire Red Gang.

"There's no need, I've been in charge of this all along. ”

"Looks like there's another story. ”

"It's nothing special, it's my people who withdrew from South Korea in the first place. ”

"I see. Li Zaizhe glanced at him, got up and said, "Hall Master Yang, farewell." ”

"Goodbye. ”

As soon as he took three steps, Lee Jae-chul suddenly turned around and punched forward.

"Bang. After the muffled sound, the man who had been standing behind Yang Qingcheng all the time sat on the ground with his left arm covered.

Looking at him silently, Lee Jae-chul said coldly: "This is the last time. With that, he walked away.

The man struggled to get up and walked in front of Yang Qingcheng.

"How?"

"Very strong. The scar on the man's face moved slightly, and he said in a deep voice: "Last time I sparred, he hid his strength. ”

"How many?"

"It's only about 30%. ”

Hearing this, Yang Qingcheng was surprised, "Sancheng!"

"Yes. The man said bitterly: "But with one punch, my left arm has been broken." ”

"Let's go down and get treated. ”

"Yes. ”

The man stepped back, and Yang Qingcheng's eyes flickered.

A 17-year-old boy, not only talented, is known as the "Hand of God" in the United States, but also so skilled, I thought he was going long and Ah Quan had a tie, but the result of this sudden temptation turned out to be that Ah Quan's left arm was instantly fractured, and Lee Jae-chul was unscathed.

Lee Jae-chul is right about one thing, the Red Gang doesn't care about the benefits they get from South Korea, they just can't forget the shame of being forced to leave decades ago, so he's willing to let Lee Jae-chul try.

"I'm looking forward to what kind of storm you can make in Korea. ”

At the beginning, in order to save Melinda's mother and daughter, Lee Jae-cheol killed several gangsters were Yang Qingcheng's subordinates.

Because of that incident, the Red Gang "invited" him to Chinatown, that is, on that occasion, the bodyguard Ah Quan fought with him, and finally ended in a draw.

Originally, when he heard Li Zaizhe's authentic Chinese official dialect, Yang Qingcheng dispelled the idea of embarrassing him, after all, people who can speak hometown dialect are kinder than hired dogs. It was only because he was surprised by the speed at which Lee Jae-cheol killed the four of them that he sent Ah Quan to fight with him.

Looking at this young man, Yang Qingcheng had that plan in his mind, and since it had been implemented for several years and still had little effect, he urgently needed an opportunity to wash away his shame.

After learning about Lee Jae-cheol's background, this man with a high position in the Red Gang had a brief conversation with him.

"I hope that the Red Gang can regain their place in South Korea. ”

"I'll give you an answer in two years. ”

"Yes. ”

Yang Qingcheng, who was originally just a whim, didn't expect that he would really come, with an almost perfect plan.

With an 80 percent probability of winning the election, who would dare to say that? At least, he would not dare to put Yang in the same position as Lee Jae-chul.

But he understood that Lee Jae-chul was not bluffing, so he chose to believe this teenager.

For Lee Jae-cheol, that conversation can be regarded as a sleepy pillow, if he wants to really gain a foothold in South Korea, Samsung's power can only be borrowed for a while, and after Lee Jae-yong takes the position, he will not let him live comfortably.

So what he really needs is the biggest backer in the light and dark, the bright place is naturally the government, and the dark place is built by him himself.

Backing is a very important thing, for example, Samsung has always been good friends with Kim Dae-jung and Seven Stars, and sends countless money in the name of cooperation every year, so it can achieve good development.

As long as these two forces are supported, as long as they do not offend public anger, they can run rampant in South Korea.

Now, Lee Jae-chul is also looking for, or rather building a backer, for himself.

This game of chess has begun, how to fall, how to end, are all in the hands of Lee Jae-cheol.
