Chapter 1182: French Beggars
During the break, Zhao Hu and the brothers kept Rhodes Street in good order, and in less than ten days, they received 50,000 euros.
Everyone in this neighborhood knows that there is a Chinese gang in the 17th district, there are a lot of people, and all of them can fight, and they have grabbed a few small pieces of land in the 17th district, and in the 17th district, it is the most powerful gang except for the red glove gang in Belal.
The people on the underworld in the seventeenth district are talking a lot, and many people want to join the Longxing Society, and these Jiang Cheng are already prepared, what he is thinking about now is that the seed of the Longxing Society is gradually germinating and growing, as the saying goes, people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong, and the tree is very popular, maybe it will not be long before Bhullar and Martin Luther should find him.
Before this, Jiang Cheng knew that there was one thing that could not be delayed, that is, to get a batch of guns for his brothers, if he didn't have guns, he still wanted to grab land with others, so what did he rely on, do you want to fight with your life?
Jiang Cheng never wanted to see his brothers have such a big sacrifice, so he thought of a way and decided to meet the black bastard who exploited beggars on West Street in the 17th District as soon as possible, that bastard sells guns, if he can buy some guns from him, Long Xing will have the confidence to speak and do things in the future!
West Street, Commercial Street, District 17 -
Jiang Cheng was sitting on the edge of a Western-style rectangular dining table, grabbing a sandwich and eating it slowly, his eyes staring at the square not far away. It seems to be searching for something.
There were also eight people sitting beside Jiang Cheng, namely Lin Yu, Jinglong, John, and the other five brothers of the Longxing Society.
At Jiang Cheng's suggestion early this morning, they came to West Street in the 17th district to have breakfast, and the place for breakfast was chosen by Jiang Cheng at the Western restaurant opposite Glens Square.
Jiang Cheng came here to eat for the first time, he didn't care what it tasted like, he just wanted to observe the beggars in the square opposite while eating, count their numbers, count their income, and most importantly, observe the guys who secretly manage the beggars' begging and extract a share from it.
Jiang Cheng took eight brothers to sit in this western restaurant all morning, carefully observing from the window position, and asked the brothers to eat and drink as they pleased, but don't leave too far, because there may be action at any time!
In this way, after a few more hours, there were fewer and fewer pedestrians on Glens Square, and the figure of a dozen beggars scattered around the square, begging with "rice bowls" seemed even more lonely.
The beggars here are different from those in China, they are not begging with a bowl or a porcelain basin, but they are versatile, some people can do small magic tricks with both hands, wear a high magic hat, and use the magic hat to receive the money given by the people around them, and some can play the violin, so they open the lid of the violin and put it on the ground, and the money given by passers-by is thrown in the lid of the violin......
There are also a variety of methods of begging, and so on.
According to Johansen, these people are some unemployed vagrants who sleep on the streets, struggling for food and clothing, not for living, but for stimulating them to come out and beg, which does not exist in reality, and even if there is, if the gang knows that he has money, then he will die...... Kidnapping and ripping up tickets are often done by black people.
As for why France has these vagrants, it is another story.
Although the per capita wage in France is high, there is also a large foreign population, and the pressure of competition for various occupations is very high, so the unemployment rate increases, and those who cannot find a job, or whose wages are very low, live a miserable and miserable life in a high-income and high-consumption social environment in France, especially in Paris!
These vagrants are the real vagrants, and if they can't find a source of income, robbing and starving to death on the streets are the only way out. Unlike farmers or beggars in China, although they are poor, they can barely make ends meet with a piece of land and a house.
Therefore, in France, when the homeless population increased, begging became a technical job, and beggars gradually became no longer beggars, but a profession, and other people had to have their own characteristics to be able to make others willing to give them money. And some of the money these people begged for had to be handed over to the gangsters, so you can imagine the difficulties in their lives.
"Brother Cheng, look, the beggars over there have closed their stalls, they are all going in one direction, should we go and have a look?" Jinglong's eyes suddenly lit up, and he raised his hand to the square and said excitedly.
After waiting so long, there is finally movement.
Johansen nodded: "The West Street of the Seventeenth District Commercial Street is full of regular shops, and they are not as popular at night as during the day, and these beggars are estimated to have to change shifts with others." ”
Jiang Cheng smiled slightly, it's really strange that beggars also have a work shift system, but since these beggars left the square, where should they pay money to the gangsters, and then they can move freely, thought about it and said: "Let's go, let's catch up and see the work of these black people." ”
As soon as everyone heard this, they all came to their senses, and immediately followed Jiang Cheng towards the side of Glens Square, where there were originally more than a dozen beggars, but there were only seven or eight left at the moment, and the beggars who left walked in from an alley on the side of the square, and Jiang Cheng and a few people followed them into this alley.
Walking forward for a distance, through the narrow alley, everyone came to a remote area behind the buildings of the commercial street, here are all concrete floors, from time to time there are some black cigarette holders on the ground and chewing gum that has been chewed and spit on the ground, and there are quite a few of them, it seems that there are still many people staying in this remote corner.
Just turned a corner, Jiang Cheng, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
"Brother Cheng, what's wrong?" Jinglong asked softly at Jiang Cheng strangely.
Jiang Cheng didn't speak, raised his hand and pointed ahead, raised his chin, and motioned for everyone to look over there.
Jing Long and Lin Yu immediately stretched out their heads and looked over there from the corner of the wall, only to see that there were seven or eight beggars who were originally in the square not far away, they were standing in a row, as if the troops were assembled and waiting for the parade, and in front of them, a tall and burly black man walked around, smiling and saying something to these beggars.
And by the flower bed not far from the black man, there were two or three black men who were eating melon seeds, and they were snorting melon seeds while accusing the beggars of laughing.
"What are they doing?" asked Lin Yu.
"Collect money. Jiang Cheng replied lightly.
Jiang Cheng and the others watched quietly from the side, only to see these beggars take out some money from their bodies and hand it to the black man, and the black man took the money and counted it, and handed back some of it, as if he had taken half of it away, Jiang Cheng and the others secretly chattered, but they didn't expect them to snatch half of the income from the beggars.
Half of the banknotes in everyone's hands were collected, and the black man in front of the beggar waved his hand, allowing these beggars to leave freely, and then turned around and laughed with the three companions sitting on the flower bed, waving the banknotes they got from the beggar in their hands, although the distance was very far, Jiang Cheng and they still barely heard his words.
"Today's income is good, it's almost 400 euros, let's go buy some beer." The black man waved at his companion and said with a smile.
Jiang Cheng and the others couldn't help but pout when they heard this number, these blacks are really poor, they feel that their income is good when they receive four hundred euros, and they even want to celebrate, it seems that they can only receive two or three hundred euros from these beggars, which is converted to about 100,000 euros a year, which is really very small for a black gang with forty or fifty people
Of course, this is only the money they get from these beggars, and maybe there are other ways to make money.
The four black people hooked their shoulders and smiled and walked over to Jiang Cheng's side, Jiang Cheng and a few people stood still and waited for them quietly, and soon, the black people who walked in front saw Jiang Cheng and a few, she looked at Jiang Cheng and a few people in surprise for a while, and then thought that they were just curious about the passers-by, so they ignored it and prepared to go out of this alley with the three brothers.
"Jinglong, Lin Yu, stop these four black people, don't let them run. Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Lin Yu and Jinglong immediately took action, running a few steps to the front of the man in black who was about to leave, blocking their way, while Johansen and Jiang Cheng surrounded them from behind, also blocking another way for the blacks to escape.
The four black-clothed men finally realized that something was wrong, two of them faced Lin Yu and Jing Long, and the other two people stared closely at Jiang Cheng and the other six people who came from behind, and soon after, they each pulled out a knife from their waists and waved it towards Jing Long Lin Yu and Jiang Cheng, while muttering something in their mouths.
"Brother Cheng, they asked us which gang we belonged to and what we wanted to do. Johansen translated to Jiang Cheng.
"Tell them that we are from the Longxing Society and want to buy some guns from their boss. Jiang Cheng said in a light tone.
Johansen immediately translated these words to the blacks, and the faces of the four blacks immediately changed when they heard this, and then they spoke in French with some impatience and nervousness, waving their hands as they spoke.
"What did they say?" Jiang Cheng asked Johansen suspiciously.
Johansen's face was a little ugly: "Brother Cheng, they said that their boss no longer sells guns, especially not to the gangs of the seventeenth and eighteenth districts, so that if we want to buy guns, we can buy them with the Arabs." ”
Jiang Cheng's face sank, and he looked at the four black men and said coldly to Johansen next to him: "Tell them that no matter what, when I come today, I must meet their boss, even if he doesn't sell guns anymore, I will also see them, and let them take us to meet their boss." ”
Johansen translated these words to four black men.
Unexpectedly, the blacks immediately shook their heads, as if they rejected Johansen's proposal in a stern tone, waving their hands as they spoke, giving people the feeling that the matter was not negotiable, and at the same time grabbed the knife in their hands and danced a few times in this direction, making a threatening gesture.
