Chapter 145: Triad Imagination

Time, that evening, location, inside an upscale hotel on the Bund. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

This is where families and girls live in Shanghai, and although the usual five-star hotels in later generations are nowhere to be found, this one is one of the best hotels in the city.

"The Underworld is a fascinating place, but it's not easy to get into. ”

In the living room of the suite, Alice said to the girls: "Moreover, this is not just an ordinary regional gangster, the triad, this force is too huge, if we can join a part, even if it is only a part, the benefits that can be brought to us are infinite." ”

No one knows more about this than Ashley. As an authentic Italian, and a member of the Ferrero family, she knows more about the domestic mafia than any ordinary Italian girl, and even more so than any other gang in the world. With such a friend here, he is simply Alice's best counselor, and the best teacher of the other two girls.

"The Triad is a well-known anti-Qing secret organization in history, which began around 1700 AD......"

“…… During the Yongzheng period of Kangxi. ”

“…… Well, probably at that time, now, the actual triad doesn't exist anymore, but since the roots of many Chinese triads can be traced back to the triads of the Qing Dynasty, we generally use it to refer to the gangs formed by the Chinese now. ”

Sissi suddenly interjected, "Me, us?"

Ashley's eyes widened: "What's the matter? My grandmother's family controls several Italian parliamentarians, and of course she also deals with the mafia, so if you don't say 'we', do you still say 'them'?"

Sissi waved her hand, speechless: "Okay, you continue." ”

"Ahem, the official establishment of the triad was around 1830, and the place of origin is ...... southern China"

“…… Liangguang area. ”

"Alice, will you tell me or will I tell me?"

"Please continue~"

"The reason for the initial activity was because of the stimulation of events such as the Opium War, and the purpose was of course obvious. In fact, there is also a saying that it is a remnant of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, in short, in 1845, because of the overwhelming relationship, the British even asked the Qing government to order a blockade of triad activities~"

By the beginning of this century, by the end of World War II, triads had evolved into a collective term for Hong Kong's traditional secret societies. For nearly half a century, the gangs of the triad have engaged in the so-called pornography, gambling and narcotics off-the-beaten-path industries such as collecting protection money, drug trafficking, money laundering, illegal gambling, and operating sex industries. Some members may also be involved in crimes such as theft, fraud, ticket kidnapping, and intimidation and extortion. As for the number of people, it is probably close to 200,000 at the moment. ”

"However, this is only a development within the mainland itself, and it is the overseas part of the triad that really prospers. After all, throughout the 19th century, many Chinese went overseas to work as laborers, and many of them settled in Southeast Asia. You should know this best, Alice, right?"

Alice nodded calmly: "Yes, that's how my grandparents came to the United States, just before World War II. In retrospect, they couldn't have come at the right time. ”

"Well, so speaking of which, this can be regarded as a sense of national identity and an act of grouping. With the Chinese all over the world as the main body, the branches of the entire triad are open all over the world, not to mention the Malaysian private party, there will definitely be triad members in Chinatowns in major cities in the United States. ”

This remark made Sissi grin incessantly: "In other words, we may pass by criminals anytime and anywhere?"

Alice smiled lightly: "Each industry has its own characteristics, and for people who are not in a certain field, it is of course difficult to distinguish the situation in the industry at a glance. ”

Alice is certainly very clear about Sissi's feelings.

After all, bad guys don't put the word bad guy on their faces.

But the police always have a way of finding the bad guys, right?

Therefore, it is impossible to understand and distinguish between scores.

There's an old saying: a street van carrying three or two people always looks out the window when it's okay. Such a combination is either plainclothes surveillance or criminal stalking.

It depends on whether the people passing by understand or not.

But if an ordinary person just hears that old saying, he will immediately find that there are so many potential bad people around him who live in it.

Then it's like the typical street pickpocket's characteristics: walking against a wall and avoiding the camera, maybe wearing a hat or sunglasses so that people don't remember what they look like, always holding a magazine or newspaper in their hand to block their vision, walking unhurried like a walk, of course, looking for a target......

I don't know, I just don't know, and I live my life normally. But after understanding, you will immediately find that there are so many people on the street who may be pickpockets, no wonder the police anti-pickpocketing team can send so many people every day.

Looking at it more vividly, for example, for those who have never been to a nightclub in their lives, isn't the drug god just a myth?

But for people who have to go to nightclubs every night to sing, sucking and prostituting eyebrows, it's really on the edge of crime every day. When people go to the song hall, they don't have to look for it themselves, and the "bad guys" come to the door by themselves.

After a brief description of the triad, Ashley concluded, "So Alice, do you really want to get involved in this side?"

When asked about this sentence, she usually giggles, and her expression is rare and serious.

Alice didn't say anything immediately, but Sissi interjected: "If you can really build a super big gang, it must be very cool!"

Sissi obviously agreed, but Alice still didn't say anything, but looked at Maiya.

"The reason why many underground industries violate the law is to disrupt social order on the one hand, but profiteering is the most fundamental reason. ”

Maiya said calmly: "After all, if there is no profiteering, no one will engage in it at all. For example, the most common ****, of course, it is just needed, but if it is not for the extremely low cost and extremely high profit, even if it is just needed, there will not be so many people who would rather break the law and engage in it, right?"

Alice snorted: "Yes, yes, a **********, with cold water and hot water for the man, what is the cost of this......? Hey, what are you looking at me like that?"

Faced with the strange gazes of three girls in the room, Alice suddenly blushed and shouted, "Of course I'm not doing that! What are you looking at me like that!? Oh shit, don't I just have bigger breasts!?

At the end of the shout, Maimi pursed her lips and snickered, Sissi's face was contemptuous, and Ashley patted Alice on the shoulder and said, "Okay, girl, there are enough hooligans, but my sister likes it~"

Well, the episode had to be put to an end for the time being, because Alice was shouting and the doors were open.

A little red head came over, but it was Hannah: "What are you talking about? What is a sip of cold water and a sip of hot water?"

"Go and go, the children don't learn well, what are you doing eavesdropping on the sisters, go and go~"

"Vivi, I'm only two years younger than you......"

"Every year up to the age of 30 is crucial, especially for girls. Come on Hannah, go go, I'll close the door~"

"My sister hates ......"

With a bang, the door slammed shut.

Of course, this topic has to be put to an end for the time being, even if the triad is on the same level as a gang of the Yamaguchi-gumi, or even surpassed, but after all, it is a gang-related industry, and no one can casually get involved. Alice asked herself, with her current appearance of a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, unless she uses hypnotism to level all the way, who can follow her on the rivers and lakes?

However, if she is really to be asked to do nothing, it is absolutely impossible. Since the topic has been thrown in front of us, if you have to wait a long time before you act, you have to die in a hurry.

As soon as nine o'clock in the evening came, the girls who were going to the company tomorrow immediately washed up and went to sleep, especially Ashley. In the past two or three months, the Italian branch has sent a lot of information to the Shanghai branch, all about the new trends in the fashion industry, which is her responsibility.

On Simmons' big bed, Sissi beside her was already asleep, but Alice's eyes were wide.

Don't get me wrong, it's not held up with a toothpick.

"The premise of being involved in the dark is to have force, even Peter Parker, who was bitten by a spider, can meet the Green Goblin, if I form an armed group, I will naturally deal with the black forces. So the question now is, how do I set up an armed group?"

Although she has been thrown behind for many years, the soul of the man in her previous life still has a little influence on Alice.

Forming a private armed army is a great dream that any boy (♀) child has!

So the question is, what to do exactly?

Alice felt she needed to think about it. (To be continued.) )
