Wu Xiaozheng thought to himself, as soon as he agreed to the request of the old man Wu Jiazhao, there would be one more person on the return trip this time.

But here comes the problem again.

As soon as he goes back, he will definitely go back to Xiangshui to accompany his family for the New Year.

What about Zhuang Ningwen?

Also, what does Zhuang Ningwen want to do?

He couldn't help but glance at Zhuang Ningwen.

Zhuang Ningwen showed a confused smile and said, "Don't worry, what I have to do is almost done, and I can go with you at any time." ”

So fast?

This speed was so fast that Wu Xiaozheng was a little surprised.

However, he didn't have time to ask in detail for the time being, and turned to Old Man Wu Jiazhao and said, "Do you want to send her back to Taishan?"

From the information of his previous life, he already knew that the old man's hometown was Taishan, and the Taishan people seemed to be very influential in New York.

"No need, I have no relatives in Taishan for a long time. ”

The old man seemed a little bleak.

Wu Xiaozheng can feel this.

Perhaps, the old man's life in the United States can be regarded as a powerful situation, but when he is old, it is difficult to realize his wish to go back for the New Year, let alone return to his roots.

And he also heard an interesting story.

That is, the old man is now a black household, and he has neither American nationality nor China's international nationality, so he can't go back if he wants to.

It is said that the reason why he has not had American citizenship for so many years is because his gang status and criminal record do not meet the conditions for probation immigration in the United States.

But the United States did not send him back, because he does not have Chinese nationality, and China does not easily accept such a gangster with a gang background.

It's a funny but bleak thing.

In this regard, he felt that Master He Yuncong was much smarter than him, at least he was satisfied

He also began to understand why Master He Yuncong had to return to China.

In this regard, he is smarter than Wu Kaizhao.

"That's okay, then I'll take her back to Hunan Province for the New Year. ”

Wu Xiaozheng thought to himself, it seems that there will be one more person in the family for the New Year this year, but this should not have much impact.

Moreover, if Zhuang Ningwen has really done the matter of contacting internationally renowned brands, then it is also a good thing for Grandview Plaza to go over early.

"It's up to you to arrange this, and for now, I'd like to ask you something else. ”

And so came the turning point.

Wu Xiaozheng originally thought that Old Man Wu came to him for Zhuang Ningwen's trip to China.

Now, it seems, apparently not.

That's just in passing.

"Let me ask you, I heard that you introduced Giuliani to Hongsheng and intend to renovate Chinatown in the future, do you think this is feasible?"

Wu Xiaozheng suddenly realized.

It seems that this is the real intention of Old Man Wu to see himself.

For such a thing as the transformation of Chinatown, even if Chen Hongsheng comes forward, he may not be able to be the master, and it has to be a leader-level figure like Wu Jiazhao, who is highly respected among various gangs.

"It's not feasible, it's up to you in Chinatown, I'm just playing the role of a bridge. ”

Wu Xiaozheng told the truth.

In fact, he really can't interfere in this matter, and he doesn't want to interfere.

But these words could not satisfy Old Man Wu.

He asked sharply, "Don't you know that the situation in Chinatown is complicated? There are so many gangs, it is easy to coordinate?"

Wu Xiaozheng was stunned for a moment.

Only then did he realize that this was really a special era.

In other words, New York is now at a watershed.

In Wu Xiaozheng's impression, in another two or three years, New York will change from a metropolis full of chaotic law and order and gangs to a relatively orderly modern metropolis, and New York's gang culture will gradually decline or go underground.

This is especially true in Chinatown, where gang culture has always been prevalent.

But now, Chinatown is really complicated, and it's not an exaggeration to say that there are many gangs.

Combined with the information he had seen in his previous life and what he had learned from the mouths of He Shiyuan and others, Wu Xiaozheng knew that the Chinese gangs in New York now include Feilong, Ghost Shadow, Dong'an, Fuqing, Baihu, and other small gangs and factions, which belong to Anliang, Xiesheng, Hongmen, Chongzheng, Taishan, and Fujian.

Among them, the most powerful flying dragon should be under Old Man Wu, but I don't know if it is under his direct control.

And these Chinese gangsters are fundamentally different from legal associations such as Hongmen.

They are illegal, and they are the target of the government's crackdown.

In a few years, these gangsters will disappear.

And the reason why they disappeared, in addition to the reason why Giuliani came to power, there was also a very important fuse, that is, the "Golden Adventure" incident that occurred in May 93.

The "Golden Adventure" incident will directly lead to the federal government's determination to clean up the gangs.

In later generations, it was a major event known to all those interested in overseas gangs.

The Golden Adventure is a freighter.

Strictly speaking, it's a stowaway boat.

Since the 80s, there has been a boom in China to go abroad, and for most people, it is impossible to go abroad through the formal route.

As a result, many people have begun to target illegal immigrants.

As a result, a new underground business has also sprung up between China and the United States, that is, smuggling.

And in the United States, the person in charge of this lucrative business is mainly the well-known Fuqing Gang.

Built in 1969, the Golden Adventure is a 45-metre freighter and is not suitable for carrying passengers.

Since the rise of the smuggling business, Li Pengfei, the organizer of smuggling smuggling, purchased the Golden Adventure in Singapore in 1992 and planned to transport illegal immigrants into the United States by sea.

In February 1993, the Golden Adventure docked in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, and then picked up about 90 illegal immigrants in Thailand and another 200 near Mombasa, Kenya, in March.

The cost of illegal immigration is really high, with $20,000 to $30,000 per person.

The Golden Adventure then passed through the Cape of Good Hope into the Atlantic.

Because it was a freighter and there were too many illegal immigrants on board, the people on board were crowded, the hygiene was poor, and there was a shortage of food and drinking water.

In May 1993, the Golden Adventure arrived in the Atlantic Ocean near New York City with a crew of 13 and 286 illegal immigrants from Chinese mainland (262 men and 24 women, mostly Fujianese).

According to the original plan of the smuggling organizers, once the boat arrived near New York, the New York connector would organize a small speedboat to pick up the migrants on the high seas and then go ashore separately.

However, unfortunately, the connector happened to die in the vendetta of the Fuqing Gang, and he was cut off from the ship.

After waiting on the high seas for two weeks, the officers decided to run the ship ashore and let the stowaways swim ashore, believing that there was no hope of pick-up.

At around 2 a.m. on June 6, the Golden Adventure ran aground on Rockaay Beach in the Queens District.

Among the stowaways, 10 died because of poor swimming, weak constitution after long voyages, and cold water temperatures. Six escaped, while the rest were detained and imprisoned by USCIS officers who arrived later.

This is definitely a major case of illegal immigration with extremely bad impact on the US government.

It is precisely because this case has caused too much impact and humiliated the United States, so the federal government is determined to rectify it, and the first to crack down is the Chinese gangsters in New York.

Wu Xiaozheng calculated the time.

According to the departure time in February, the Golden Adventurer should be docked somewhere in Fujian Province by now!

Once the Chinese New Year is over, it should depart from Fujian, right?

I just don't know, will the connector here die in the gang vendetta?
