Chapter 9: The Green Gang
Ye Ling arrived at the Tianming Hotel, and after going upstairs, the waiter took Ye Ling to the ice fishing room. After Ye Ling pushed the door in, he saw that Wang Hai was covered with injuries on his face and body, and there were bandages on his hands. Ye Ling asked, "What's wrong with the sea." Wang Hai said: "Yesterday, after the second-generation Lin Hu left, a group of people smashed my shop, and then some people said, "Your sin, you can't afford to offend people." ”
Ye Ling said, "Tonight, I'll help you take revenge." Red Star Club, come with me. Wang Hai said, "Forget it, these people are all playful, and we can't afford to be guilty." ”
"I'm going to see how good these people can be." After Ye Ling finished speaking, the food was served, and the two of them didn't drink, but just ate some food. The two of them came out of the checkout, Ye Ling took Wang Hai to Lin Xue's house, and saw Lin Xue and Xiaoxiao painting downstairs, Lin Xue saw Ye Ling and asked, "Where did you go last night, tell me why you didn't come back." Ye Ling had a little headache when he heard it. Oh, I slept with my classmate yesterday after drinking. ”
Lin Jianglu came in from outside and said, "Xue'er, men have their own business, let's go upstairs with Xiaoxiao first." Lin Jianglu looked at Wang Hai very seriously and said, "You can't even look at a bar, what else can you do." When Ye Ling heard it, he said, "Yesterday's incident has something to do with me, don't care about his business." "I'm sorry, I'll take full responsibility." After Wang Hai finished speaking, Ye Ling asked, "How much money does your Qinggang have?" "Linjiang Road" has 100 million US dollars," Ye Ling said, "Okay, I will make you the boss of Shanghai within ten days." Lin Jianglu knew that if he became the underworld boss of the whole of Shanghai, he would be the same as the underground mayor. You can reverse your assets.
Lin Jianglu said, "Okay, then if you can't do that." Ye Ling said, "No, I'll give you 100 million US dollars." “
Lin Jianglu said: "In Shanghai, there was not only my Green Gang, but also a big gang called the Hong Gang, and in the past, the Green Gang and the Hong Gang were the same. But now the Green Gang and the Hong Gang are separated."
Now the Qing Gang is the largest gang in Shanghai, and at that time there was still a small piece of power belonging to the Hong Gang, which was not within the scope of the Qing Gang.
In the colorful old Shanghai, which was intertwined with complicated lines, in addition to the nightclubs that were famous all over the country, it belonged to the Qinggang, an underworld organization that had great influence in the whole country at that time. Before the liberation of Shanghai, whether it was the mayor who was in power for a while or the director of the bureau and the director of the mountain, etc., before taking office, they must first worship the old man of the Green Gang, that is, the leader of the Green Gang.
If you dare not to worship, it will not be long before you will be kicked out of the beach, at least a week, or at most a few months. Those dignitaries and warlords were three points shorter when they saw Huang Jinrong, the leader of the Shanghai Youth Gang. No matter how powerful Chiang Kai-shek was, he had to worship Huang Jinrong as a teacher after arriving in Shanghai, and when he became the "chairman of the committee", he went to Shanghai as usual to pay homage to Huang Jinrong, which shows the great power of the Qing Gang.
However, the figure of the Youth Gang who reached the peak of power in Shanghai society was not Huang Jinrong, but Du Yuesheng. The threads that made up Du Yuesheng's growing network of power and power converged in his private organization, Hengshe, which was founded in November 1932.
As an organization of high-ranking figures, the door of its members is not open to all of Du Yuesheng's disciples, but only to those with social status. It is said that Lu Jingshi, an important figure of the Heng Society, emphasized the nature of the Heng Society as Du Yuesheng's private organization in his speech at the 3rd anniversary meeting of the Heng Society, and he said that the Heng Society has only one leader and one center, that is, Du Yuesheng, and all members of the Heng Society must serve Mr. Du. By the mid-30s of the 20th century, Du Yuesheng's Hengshe had become the most powerful private organization in the Shanghai Youth Gang because of its connections with the Shanghai bourgeoisie, Kuomintang politicians, and government officials. And it is precisely because of this powerful private organization that Du Yuesheng reached the peak of his underworld career during this period in old Shanghai.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, with the intensification of the country's efforts to crack down on criminal syndicates, the youth gang organizations in Shanghai gradually dismembered and finally disappeared. However, as Du Yuesheng's private organization, the Hengshe has been retained, continuing the purpose of the original establishment of the society and continuing to develop under the name of the Green Gang, but the difference is that this gang organization has gradually turned from the ground to the underground.
In the nineties of the twentieth century, the leader of the Shanghai Youth Gang was named Gao Yongnian, and after nearly 20 years of development in the hands of Gao Yongnian, the Shanghai Youth Gang has formed a huge enterprise group -- Gao's Enterprise Group, and the entire group's business extends to various fields of society, including finance, real estate, ships and ports, commodity retail, etc., with assets under direct management amounting to billions of yuan, and assets under indirect management of tens of billions of yuan. There is a saying in Shanghai's financial circles that if Gao's enterprises catch a cold, then Shanghai's economy will have to sneeze, which shows its financial status in Shanghai. But because of family discord, he became the current Lin family, the boss of the Green Gang.
In the thirties of the twentieth century, the Shanghai Youth Gang created a peak of underworld power in the hands of Du Yuesheng, and in the nineties after a lapse of more than 60 years, it created a peak of the white road economy in the hands of Gao Yongnian. Although the current Shanghai Youth Gang's underworld economy is no longer its main source of income, it still sells some ecstasy and other drugs in its entertainment venues, and in addition, it sells some arms and guns to some Southeast Asian countries.
Now the Lin family is the boss of the Shanghai Youth Gang, if Ye Ling helps him go to the whole of Shanghai, then he can create the peak of the Green Gang again like Du Yuesheng. Lin Jianglu looked at Ye Ling and said, "It's up to you, auntie." Ye Ling's face darkened and said, "No, I'm not your uncle yet." Lin Jianglu said, "It's okay, sooner or later." ”
Ye Ling said, "Lend me fifteen people first." Lin Jianglu made a phone call and called them all. "But in minutes, twenty people who served Zhang arrived at the Lin family, and Ye Ling, Lin Jianglu and Wang Hai all went out. Ye Ling saw an army of people. Lin Jianglu said: "These are all special forces, after they were discharged from the army, they joined my Green Gang when they came back as mercenaries. Ye Ling went up and kicked a man's body. The man didn't move and took it directly, "Very good, they are indeed special forces, and they are not afraid." Ye Ling said that Ye Ling's family looked very powerful, but the special forces understood that this kick was false at a glance, so they didn't hide.
Ye Ling wanted to test the physical strength of these people, so he said, "Let's go around this villa first and run fifty laps." "Everyone starts running, but after a few hours," there were only six people left who could stand up, and said, "Okay, just the six of you follow Wang Hai and protect her." The rest is here to protect everyone in the family, and now is a special time. ”
In the evening, Ye Ling and Wang Hai went to the Red Star Club together. The cars parked at the gate are all military district cars.
