Chapter 807: Thinking Change
After listening to He Shiyuan's explanation, Chen Hongsheng sat there and was speechless for a long time.
He was considering the feasibility of Wu Xiaozheng's proposal.
It's a risky act.
Since the Chinese Revolution, few politicians in the United States have shown significant support.
Never before has he publicly sided with a politician in New York.
Unlike the New York Chinese Entrepreneurs Association, associations like Hongmen actually have a very serious gang nature, and their actions often wander on the edge of the law, and they can easily become a thorn in the side of politicians.
Therefore, in such a matter as taking sides, the choice will be more prudent.
But Chen Hongsheng also has to admit that once he stands on the right side, the harvest is also huge, and it is easy for Hongmen to gain new vitality.
"What would have happened if we hadn't chosen to take sides?" Chen Hongsheng asked cautiously.
He meant that if he didn't take sides, would he have a Giuliani revenge.
Wu Xiaozheng immediately realized that it would be more difficult to convince Chen Hongsheng than to convince those Chinese businessmen.
"There shouldn't be particularly serious consequences. ”
In any case, Wu Xiaozheng still answered this question truthfully according to his own understanding.
"But it should be noted that according to Giuliani's policy strategy, after he takes office, the focus will be on the rectification of law and order in New York, and he will deal a heavy blow to illegal and criminal behavior. ”
"Therefore, once Giuliani comes to power, it is best for us to restrain the actions of the members of the association, so as not to implicate the entire Hongmen. ”
According to Wu Xiaozheng's thoughts, he only quietly named himself in Hongmen and did not participate in its internal affairs.
He also did not know much about the internal operation mode and development strategy of Hongmen.
But he knew that Hongmen, as a gang association, must still have some suspected illegal acts, or there will be some members of the association who are carrying out illegal activities.
This principle is consistent with the actions of certain gang figures in China.
Wu Xiaozheng's words caused Chen Hongsheng to think deeply.
The last thing a gang like Hongmen wants to face is a strongman like Giuliani, because no one can guarantee that there will be no leverage within Hongmen.
In this way, if you don't choose to take sides, once you are caught by Giuliani, there will be no room for maneuver at all.
"Senior Brother Wu, if we don't stand in line, will Giuliani still have a good chance of coming to power?"
"Of course, on this point, you can send someone to take a moment to understand Ding Qinshi's governance satisfaction survey. ”
Chen Hongsheng thought again.
If what Wu Xiaozheng said is true, then there is no doubt that choosing to take sides is the wisest choice.
Only by choosing to be an ally with Giuliani will there be more room for maneuver in the handling of many things.
"In this way, Senior Brother Wu, can you build a bridge and let me meet Giuliani first?"
Chen Hongsheng actually has a tendency to stand in line, but for the sake of safety, he decided to touch Giuliani's attitude first.
"Okay, no problem. ”
This was originally what Wu Xiaozheng wanted to do.
As for helping Giulianira's allies, what he did was originally a matter of building bridges, and the specific conditions still needed to be negotiated between the two of them.
This is essentially an exchange of interests.
"Senior Brother Wu, do you have any good suggestions for the future development of Hongmen?"
Chen Hongsheng asked another question.
He also realized that Wu Xiaozheng was extraordinary.
In recent years, the influence of Hongmen has become more and more declining, and several successive big leaders are working hard to revive the prestige of Hongmen, but with little success.
Chen Hongsheng is also having a headache with this problem.
Wu Xiaozheng thought for a moment.
He didn't want to be in charge of things, and he didn't want to be involved too deeply, but as a member of the Hongmen, he should still give advice to him.
"I don't know much about the situation abroad, but according to the development trend in China in recent years, those Taoist figures in China, or those associations that exist in the form of underground gangs, have now changed their development ideas. ”
Chen Hongsheng immediately asked, "What kind of change method?"
Wu Xiaozheng simply took this opportunity to give him a clear explanation.
"In the past, it was mainly about fighting and killing, and fishing for deviations, but now most of them have started serious business and started to develop the economy. ”
"The reason for this change is that everyone has found that now is an economic era, and the comparison of strength is no longer the strength of fighting and killing, but the strength of the economy. ”
"The reason for this change is that people find that they are often targeted by the government, which brings disaster to themselves. But after the economic strength goes up, it can be respected anywhere, and even the government will value and recognize it. ”
Wu Xiaozheng is talking about the epitome of the development of domestic rivers and lakes.
In Xiangshui, a big man like Tian Scar has also changed from simply fighting and killing to starting a company, and he thought of making money.
In Changshi, people like Zhou Jianwei, who have experienced several ups and downs, have also begun to restrain their ideas of fighting and killing, and turned to opening stores to make money.
This is the character of the new era.
The times have changed, and the way of development of rivers and lakes must also change, otherwise they will not be able to keep up with the situation.
Chen Hongsheng thought again.
The focus must be on economic development!
He also agrees with this.
He found that one of the important reasons why Hongmen's influence has become smaller and smaller in recent years is that its economic strength has not kept up.
In contrast, economic associations such as the New York Chinese Entrepreneurs Association are increasingly influential among the Chinese.
But he still has doubts.
"As a gang, it's inevitable to fight and kill, right?"
"Inevitably, as much as possible. ”
Wu Xiaozheng replied very directly.
"Have you noticed that there are a lot of cameras on the street now, and they will take pictures of all the cameras in the area?"
Chen Hongsheng asked suspiciously: "I know this, but isn't this used to shoot traffic violations?"
"I can tell you that these cameras will soon be used for security surveillance and in the near future, in every public area. In this way, there will be no hiding for illegal and criminal acts that occur in public areas, including gang fights and killings. ”
Chen Hongsheng was stunned.
He can imagine that if what Wu Xiaozheng said is true, then the gangs that have long been accustomed to fighting and killing will immediately be exposed to government surveillance, which will bring huge trouble to the gangs.
These acts of beating and killing by gangs cannot be exposed to the sun.
"Are you telling the truth? Is it true that there are surveillance cameras in every public area?"
"Of course, you know, I happen to have a computer company under my command that happens to be working on this application. ”
Wu Xiaozheng found a good excuse.
Only in this way can we rationalize what will happen later, for example.
Chen Hongsheng sighed and said, "Alas, it seems that the development of Hongmen has to change again!"
This can be regarded as Wu Xiaozheng's credit.
As a new member of Hongmen, there is only so much he can do for Hongmen.
