Chapter 817: The Prophet
Wu Xiaozheng's mood is a little complicated now.
If Old Man Wu hadn't summoned him today, he wouldn't have remembered the incident of the Golden Adventure.
But now that he remembers, what should he do?
Although he has no good feelings for the smuggling organizers and smugglers, it is also about the lives of ten Chinese!
However, even if he wants to manage it, can he manage it?
Also, is it really necessary for these Chinese gangsters to exist?
He's thinking about it seriously.
To be honest, he really didn't have a good impression of these new Chinese gangs.
These new gangs are really very different from old associations like Hongmen.
According to the purpose of Hongmen's self-opening of the mountain, it is to love the country, love the nation, and resist foreign aggression.
Therefore, Hongmen rarely has branches that are on the edge of the law, and rarely openly bullied the Chinese and oppressed their compatriots.
But these new gangs are different.
The new gang has never paid attention to rules or seniority, and whoever has a gun is the boss.
Moreover, the new gangs are mainly engaged in land grabbing, collecting protection money, bullying and dominating the market, and other out-of-the-way businesses, and the scope of their activities is mainly in the Chinatown area, so the main ones who are oppressed are Chinese compatriots.
For example, the Fuqing Gang, whose main stealing business is to drink the blood of Chinese compatriots.
In that case, why should Wu Xiaozheng interfere?
He quickly figured it out.
However, the old man's words still have to be returned.
"I know that Chinatown is complicated right now, but I believe it won't be complicated for long. The restructuring of Chinatown is not an immediate matter, so the old man might as well wait and see. ”
"It's not complicated for long?" Wu Jiazhao was stunned for a moment.
"Yes. ”
"Why are you so sure? ”
In the face of Old Man Wu's stern questioning, Wu Xiaozheng was still very calm.
"Historical experience tells us that after the chaos, there will be great governance, and Chinatown is so chaotic now, it is time for great governance again. ”
Old Man Wu frowned.
For him, who has always been in the middle of the gangster whirlpool, Wu Xiaozheng's words really dislike him.
Even if he is old, he has long stopped asking about specific things.
"You're saying Giuliani is going to do something to the gang?"
Wu Xiaozheng immediately realized that something was wrong.
This pot can't make Giuliani carry it!
You must know that if Mr. Wu identifies this and spreads the matter, Giuliani will definitely face huge trouble.
Once the new Chinese gangsters learned of this, they would definitely get into trouble with Giuliani.
"Giuliani didn't have the courage to do that, and only the federal government could make the decision. ”
Wu Xiaozheng hurriedly denied it.
"Federal government? Why do you say that?"
Old Man Wu's questioning became more and more severe.
It's really a bit difficult for Wu Xiaozheng to justify himself.
It's hard to be round.
"The experience in China tells me. ”
"The United States is not China, the system is different, and the culture is different. ”
Obviously, the old man is not completely ignorant of the domestic situation, and he should also know about the domestic crackdown.
"There will be no difference in essence. ”
Wu Xiaozheng is still so determined.
"What do you say?" Old Man Wu's tone weakened a little.
"Whether it's the United States or China, in this day and age, the focus is on economic development. There is an important prerequisite for economic development, that is, long-term peace and stability. For any government capable of control, it will not allow the order in the country to spiral out of control. ”
"For New York right now, especially in places like Chinatown and Harlem, it's getting out of control, and so are many places in the United States. ”
Old Man Wu began to be silent.
He had to admit that Wu Xiaozheng's statement was somewhat reasonable.
Anyone who knows a little bit about history knows that whether in the past or in the present, whether at home or abroad, gangs are all trying to survive in the cracks, and may prosper for a while because of historical opportunities, but there are few that can exist for a long time.
In modern times, with the development of science and technology, the government has mastered very powerful weapons, and for gangs that are still weak, they can be crushed in terms of strength.
Therefore, once the government is ruthless and the gangs want to fight the government, it will be worse than hitting a stone with an egg.
He suddenly felt as if he was lucky.
After so many years in the gang, there is still hope for a good death, which is really a miracle.
If you think about it, when he was young, the reason why the U.S. government didn't hit the gangs hard was because there was World War II, then the Korean War, then the Vietnam War, the Gulf War, and so on, and the U.S. government didn't seem to have the energy to take care of the country.
But now it's different.
The United States, which had just experienced the Gulf War, is now not engaged in any major wars abroad.
Economically, the U.S. economy has been on a downward spiral since the stock market crash in 1987, and if the federal government does not take effective measures, it is likely to experience another Great Depression.
Thinking about it this way, it is really possible that the US government will start to deal a heavy blow to domestic law and order, and then start to develop the economy.
It's scary to think about.
Wu Jiazhao found that the eyes of this young man in front of him were really unusual, no wonder Chen Hongsheng and He Shiyuan admired him so much, and even his granddaughter Zhuang Ningwen admired him when she talked about him.
"Are you really sure that the U.S. government will soon go after the gangs?"
This is the only thing that Wu Jiazhao is not sure of, he is a little puzzled, why Wu Xiaozheng is so sure.
"Well, anyway, the transformation of Chinatown is not an overnight thing, so the old man might as well wait patiently. I have a hunch that the government may act within a year. ”
Within a year?
Do you have a hunch?
Could it be that you are a prophet?
And if the U.S. government is going to do it against gangs within a year, it really has nothing to do with Giuliani.
But if it has nothing to do with Giuliani, how do you tell?
For this time, Wu Jiazhao really doesn't believe it.
But based on Wu Xiaozheng's analysis just now, he is a little uncertain.
It's only a year!
I should still be alive to see it!
Let's wait and see if he can become a prophet!
However, in the face of such an interesting thing, if he didn't say anything at all, he was not willing.
"So, let me make a bet with you, if the U.S. government does do something against the gangs within a year, then I'll come forward and help you get a piece of land in Chinatown?"
Wu Xiaozheng: "......"
Help me get a piece of land in Chinatown?
What does this mean?
Let me collect protection money on this site?
Then I'm not going to do it!
However, he immediately realized that Old Man Wu should not mean this.
He is an outsider, even if he is given a piece of land, he can't afford to toss.
So, he's betting on a plot of land in Chinatown?
If nothing happens, it's a sure thing!
"Old man, I appreciate your kindness, but I can't afford to bet on such a heavy bet. ”
"Don't worry, you're a junior, I don't want you to bet, if you win, you will have a turf, and if you lose, it will be a joke. ”
Wu Xiaozheng: "......"
Is this going to be hard stuffed for me?
