Chapter 814: The Godfather

After the matter of helping Giuliani was completed, Wu Xiaozheng's main task in New York was basically completed.

But he was not able to set foot on the return journey for the time being.

As for the reason why she couldn't return, it was naturally because of Ma Li's injury.

Because it was a gunshot wound, even if the operation was successful, she had to make sure that her wound was not infected and that the scab had successfully formed before she could fly back to China with confidence.

Wu Xiaozheng has been quite relaxed these days.

In addition to going to the hospital regularly every day to see Ma Li and accompanying her by the way, he is visiting New York.

He even bought another copy of Trup's The Art of Doing Business and re-read it.

Of course, he also bought a lot of other books that he was interested in.

After all, in this era, many American bestsellers have not yet been translated into China.

With the book, he spends more time in the hotel.

On this day, when he was reading quietly in the hotel, Zhuang Ningwen ran in in a hurry.

"Wu Xiaozheng, go, my grandfather wants to see you. ”

Your grandfather wants to see me?

For Mao?

Is it because I'm going to kidnap you to China?

Wu Xiaozheng was a little puzzled.

But the elders please, dare not resign.

He followed Zhuang Ningwen into the car.

To his surprise, the car didn't stop in Lower Manhattan, but drove straight to a small villa on the Upper East Side.

This Zhuang Ningwen's family background is not bad!

At the very least, this grandfather of hers may be a little extraordinary!

Wu Xiaozheng immediately had such a judgment.

You know, the Upper East Side is the most famous wealthy area in New York, known as the "Gold Coast" of New York, where the rich people of finance and investment banks gather.

It seemed to confirm his suspicions.

As soon as he entered the door of this somewhat quaint villa, he found that in the hall of the villa, Chen Hongsheng and He Shiyuan, the two bigwigs of Hongmen, were also there, and they were respectfully accompanied by an old man in good spirits.

The old man was a bit old.

Wu Xiaozheng preliminarily judged that he was at least 80 years old.

Zhuang Ningwen's grandfather is so big?

Also, her grandfather wants to see her, why does he call Chen Hongsheng and He Shiyuan, the two Hongmen bigwigs?

He was still wondering, but He Shiyuan stood up and greeted: "Little junior brother, come on, I've seen Old Man Wu." ”

He Shiyuan's attitude was not ordinary respect.

"I've seen the old man. ”

Wu Xiaozheng didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward to clasp his fists and bow.

The old man spoke: "You are Yun Cong's little apprentice? ”

This tone has a kind of majesty of the superior.

What surprised Wu Xiaozheng even more was that he seemed to be very familiar with He Yuncong, and he was still in a big tone.

No wonder even Chen Hongsheng and He Yuncong are so respectful to him!

Wu Xiaozheng began to guess the origin of this old man.

Chen Hongsheng also spoke: "Little junior brother, Old Man Wu is the old-timer of our Hongmen, and he is also the permanent general counsel of the Hongmen General Association, he has something to talk to you about, you can answer truthfully." ”

Wu Xiaozheng's heart immediately chuckled.

Hongmen Forever General Consultant!

He immediately remembered a legendary figure.

In the previous life, there was a movie with the theme of New York's Chinatown, and it was also famous, and that was "Detective Chinatown".

In this movie, there is an old man named Wu Zhiyuan, known as Uncle Seventh in the rivers and lakes.

In the movie, Uncle Seven's identity is the godfather of Chinatown, an absolute bigwig-level character.

Many people think that the existence of Uncle Seven in the movie is just a fictional character.

But many Taoist characters know that this character actually has a prototype.

His prototype is called Wu Jiazhao.

This Wu Jiazhao's background is really unusual, this is a legend in New York's Chinatown after Situ Meitang.

In 18.94, Situ Meitang came to Boston and established Anliangtang, playing the banner of "hoeing the strong and helping the weak, eliminating violence and peace". An Liang Tang soon became a strong group under the Hongmen Zhi Gong Tang, and finally developed into an Anliang Tang in 31 cities in the United States, with a huge scale and more than 20,000 members.

In 1905, Situ Meitang established the "Anliang General Church" in New York and served as its own president.

Situ Meitang himself is called "big guy" and respectfully called "uncle". The church, like the society today, had its own legal advisers, who turned out to be the two later presidents of the United States, Franklin and Roosevelt.

In 1904, Mr. Sun went to the United States to carry out activities as the "big brother of Hongmen", and Situ Meitang was moved by Mr. Sun's ideals and began to fully support him.

Later, under the influence of Mr. Sun, Hongmen established the Zhi Gong Party, but the Anliang Hall established by Situ Meitang has always existed in the form of a subordinate hall of Hongmen.

Inside Hongmen, An Liang Tong is a church with a serious gang character, but its main location of activity in the early years was on the East Coast of the United States.

On the West Coast of the United States, there is also a famous hall with a serious gang nature, called Xieshengtang, which is as strong as An Liangtang.

These two halls both bear the name of Hongmen, one on the east coast and the other on the west coast, so there was no conflict originally.

But because of the expansion, the two gangs began to intersect in business and geography, and they also began to conflict.

In the 90s and 30s of the 20th century, the conflict between the two parishes escalated, and a 30-year-long war between Chinese gangs began, which caused Chinatown to be restless, killing dozens of people in a single scuffle.

In the time that followed, even after the blows of the U.S. government, the contradictions between the two Tangkou never eased, and then they experienced several Tangkou wars.

This conflict was eventually alleviated by the appearance of a person.

This person is Wu Jiazhao.

Born in Taishan, Guangdong, Wu moved to the United States at an early age and settled in New York City.

Since he was a child, he has been close to the Chinese gang, and later joined Hip Seng Tong.

In 1935, Wu was sentenced to 17 years in prison for being involved in a robbery.

But after he was released from prison, he immediately became the leader of the Hip Sho Hall.

After Wu Jiazhao took the helm of Xieshengtang, he immediately decided to end the Tangkou War.

He began to thread the needle, and finally made the Kyoshengtang form an alliance with An Liangtang, who had been hostile for many years, and began to unite with the outside world.

Because of his existence, the war between the two halls finally ended, and the alliance relationship between the two halls has been maintained to this day.

Therefore, Wu Jiazhao is very prestigious in Chinatown, and he can settle all kinds of disputes in Chinatown with one sentence, and both black and white will buy his account.

Because of his prestige, he became the general counsel of several Chinese communities, including Hongmen.

In 1992, more than 100 delegates from all over the world jointly announced the establishment of the World Hongmen Association. Because of Wu Jiazhao's seniority, prestige and status in Hongmen, he is respected by the World Hongmen Federation as the permanent general adviser.

This is Wu Jiazhao, the godfather of Chinatown, known as the seventh uncle in the rivers and lakes.

Wu Xiaozheng is a little confused now.

If this old man Wu is Wu Jiazhao, then this is a big deal.

He began to get apprehensive.

What the hell does this godfather want to talk to me?
