Chapter 1167: The Seventeenth Arrondissement of Paris
After a while, Zhuge Liuyun came to Jiang Cheng with a young man in his thirties with coffee-colored hair and a little mustache.
With a smile on his face, the young man handed out his right hand to Jiang Cheng: "Brother Cheng, hello, my name is Johansen, and I am the leader of the Longxing Society of the French Branch. ”
He speaks Mandarin quite fluently, but he has a broken accent, which seems to taste like Fujian in his ears, which is really a bit strange, this young man has always lived in France, but he speaks like a Fujianese, could it be that she learned Mandarin in Fujian? Jiang Cheng thought with a wry smile.
Smiling slightly, Jiang Cheng stretched out his hand to shake it with him: "Don't be so polite, it's all your own people." ”
Zhuge Liuyun introduced on the side: "Johansen is a Chinese-French mixed-race, his father is Chinese, his mother is French, he has always lived in France, and then after his parents died, he traveled around the world, lived in China for two or three years, and after returning to France, he wanted to promote Chinese culture in France, and later became a branch of our French Longxing Association, and those behind him——"
Zhuge Liuyun turned around and pointed at the young people at the pick-up gate, these young people all looked at this side with excitement on their faces: "They are all members of our branch of the French Longxing Association, but there are not many, except for those who are here now, there are less than ten people." ”
Jiang Cheng raised his eyes and looked over there, and counted slightly, there were a total of sixteen people, even if you added the members who didn't come, there were only about twenty people, which was really pitiful.
Johansen smiled embarrassedly: "Helper, let's not talk about it here, let's go back to the branch first, everyone who didn't come is waiting over there." ”
"Okay, let's go. Jiang Cheng nodded, and then looked at Johansen with a smile: "Don't call me any helper in the future, and tell the other brothers as well, just call me Brother Cheng." "With the others, I walked to the outside of the airport, and there were more than fifty people, all of whom were strong young men with black hair, simple clothes, and sharp eyes, and their personalities had inherited the side eyes of many people.
After walking out of the airport, there was a long queue of vans of all colors, and there was no trace of high-end cars, this scene made Jiang Cheng smile, it seems that this French branch is living quite poorly.
Jiang Cheng and several leaders sat in the only five-seater car at the front, and everyone else sat in the van at the back.
A total of six cars were speeding from outside the airport towards the 17th arrondissement of Paris, France, where the French branch of the Longxing Club was located.
There are a total of 20 districts in Paris, France, and basically the higher the numbered district, the more developed it is, and the more abundant the oil and water.
For example, the seventeenth, eighteenth, and nineteenth districts, these three districts basically belong to the dark entertainment capital of France, gambling, ** industry is very developed, derived from drug trafficking, gun trading, robbery, rape, etc., in this sewage environment, it has led to the emergence of various gangs in these three places, and all kinds of kidnappings and assassinations are commonplace.
"Cheng, Brother Cheng......" Johansen turned back to Jiang Cheng from the passenger seat of the car and said, asking him to change his words for a while, and he was still a little unaccustomed to it, so he stammered for a long time before saying: "I came to bring so many people this time, do you want to develop the French branch?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at Zhuge Liuyun.
Zhuge Liuyun nodded and said: "Yes, there is this idea, but how to implement it has not been decided yet, you have lived here in France for several years, you should have some understanding of the nearby sphere of influence, right?"
Johansen nodded again and again, showing a look of excitement, leaning on the seat and leaning over to look at Zhuge Liuyun and Jiang Cheng: "Of course, I also drew a map by myself, you should be able to understand a lot when you look at it." He groped in his arms, then took out a colorful scroll and handed it to Zhuge Liuyun.
Receiving it in his hand, Zhuge Liuyun spread it out and looked at it, frowned and studied it, and after looking at it for less than a minute, he handed the thing to Jiang Cheng: "Brother Cheng, you can also take a look, this picture is very referential." ”
Jiang Chengse's drawings were taken in his hand, unfolded and looked at them, and found that this was an enlarged version of the map of Paris, France, which introduced in detail the situation of each district, hospitals, scenic spots, police stations, shopping malls, etc., and on this, people used colored pens to draw outline lines, these lines formed an encirclement, including a piece of area, each area has a name written on it.
Johansen introduced: "Each colored circle outline I drew represents the sphere of influence of each gang, but I live in the 17th district, and I don't know much about the underworld in other places, and it's all hearsay, but even our boss in the 17th district, Beral, has more than 1,000 people under his hands, even if you add these people you brought, Brother Cheng, it's ......not enough."
Berar!?
Jiang Cheng's gaze quickly scanned the map, and soon found the name, his sphere of influence almost encompassed half of the Seventeen Districts, but the other half of the Seventeen Districts was empty.
"What's going on? Could it be that the other side of District 17 is covered by other forces?" Jiang Cheng asked Johansen, pointing to the blank space to the east of District 17.
Johansen waved his hand: "That's not the case, Beral is the boss of the entire seventeenth district, the reason why the eastern area is empty is because there is no oil and water, the east is a residential area, the west is a commercial area, and most of the residential areas are under the jurisdiction of the police government, and generally gangsters and police do not interfere with each other, and will not make trouble on each other's territory, except for some unruly gangsters." ”
Jiang Cheng nodded, a little understood, gangs can legally exist in France, and some agreements have been formed between them, the gangsters are not allowed to make trouble in the residential area, while the black side can make a lot of money in the commercial area, although it is said to be a commercial area, but as long as you think about it a little, you will know what kind of business you are doing, which can make these gangsters greedy and can afford to raise more than 1,000 people.
Scanned the map again, and found that the 18th district, which was next to the 17th district, was shrouded in another gangster force, and the boss's name was Martin Luther, so he didn't raise his head and asked, "Johansen, who is Martin Luther?"
"Martin?" a hint of fear flashed on Johansen's face, and then he said slowly: "He is the boss of the black people in the eighteenth district, because the seventeenth and eighteenth arrondissements are next to each other, and the oily commercial street is at the junction of the two districts, so he often fights with a group of blacks and Beral, almost every once in a while, and many people have died recently." ”
"Black leader?" Jiang Cheng raised his head and looked at Johansen with some surprise.
Johansen nodded: "The 18th arrondissement is a gathering place for blacks and Arabs, Martin Luther is the leader of the blacks, and the leader of the Arab gangsters, they are even crazier, but they are not on the border with our 17th arrondissement, and there is Martin Luther's territory in the middle, and the 18th arrondissement is the most chaotic place in Paris, Arabs and blacks fight each other, even if they are residents, it will not be safe to go out." ”
Jiang Cheng was stunned, then thought about it and asked, "What about the Nineteenth District, what gangsters are there in the Nineteenth District?"
Johansen looked at Jiang Cheng: "The nineteenth district is relatively large, there are five big gangs there, three of them are Chinese gangsters, but there is no oil and water in that place, I heard that the three gangs add up to less than 2,000 people, but these three gangs have formed an alliance, gangsters in other regions want to invade, usually do not dare to enter, there are more Chinese living in the nineteenth district." ”
Jiang Cheng couldn't help but feel a sense of intimacy from the bottom of his heart, as if he had met a fellow countryman overseas, it sounded like these three gangsters were not very strong, but they seemed to be quite united, when would they be able to catch up with them and help Longxing Club develop in Europe.
In fact, Jiang Cheng had another thought in his heart, if he expected it, it would be best for all the Chinese gangsters in Europe to join the Longxing Society, and everyone would form a whole force.
But this is just Jiang Cheng's wishful thinking after all, what he wants is a group, not an alliance, if they are all small gang alliances, once there is any instruction, these small gangs are often the first to consider their own interests, rather than starting from the overall situation of the Longxing Society, this is human nature!
"What is the background of this person? It seems to have shrouded a large part of Paris. Jiang Cheng continued to ask.
Before Johansen could speak this time, Zhuge Liuyun said: "I remember that the name *** is a big family in France, and it should be able to rank among the top three in strength among all French families, and it is no longer a gangster, but it is actually the behind-the-scenes controller of the two big chaebols, what's the matter? There is also his name on this map, and his sphere of influence should not be limited to Paris." ”
Johansen said: "This is what I painted, although the *** family is no longer engaged in gangs, but still controls the operation of several gangs, they are the real gangster bosses in Paris, almost the most oily business is controlled by them, even if it is a police, they can be deployed, compared to them, other gangs are only for food." ”
Jiang Cheng was a little stunned, and kept the distribution of forces in Paris in mind.
Suddenly, the car stepped on the accelerator and arrived at the French branch of the Longxing Club in the 17th arrondissement of Paris.
Jiang Cheng and the other brothers brought from China got out of the car, and Johansen beckoned them into a large Jeet Kune Do gym next to it, which was shrunk in the depths of a laneway, located in some seclusion, occupying two storefronts, the signboard was a little broken, and the corners were also dirty, only the word Jeet Kune Do was quite imposing.
"Johansen, is this our French branch?" Jiang Cheng looked at Johansen with a hint of a smile.
