Chapter 13: Hidden Murder
Compared with the daytime event, the nighttime event is mainly based on the club, and only four overseas clubs with very strong strength and designated as the "seed team" by the organizer are scheduled for the evening, including the Los Angeles Overseas Chinese Promotion Association that Liu Wei will meet in the next game.
Compared with other associations on the island, the Overseas Chinese Revitalization Association is unique.
Strictly speaking, the Association for the Promotion of Overseas Chinese is a semi-public non-governmental organization that mainly provides legal assistance to overseas Chinese in the West Coast of the United States and resolves civil disputes on behalf of overseas Chinese.
It is a pity that the predecessor of the Overseas Chinese Promotion Association was the Yuben Gang, which was active in Little Tokyo, Los Angeles, and the gang was inextricably linked with several major associations in the country, especially the boat club in Osaka, so no one could tell whether it was black or white, and it was reasonable to participate as an overseas club this time.
"The boat company is very good?" Liu Wei went straight to the point and didn't listen to Zhang Jinnan's nonsense.
"Strictly speaking, the ship club is the largest society in this book."
When Zhang Jinnan said this, Liu Wei and Zhou Yulong were a little unconvinced. In the understanding of most people, the largest society in this book should be the Black Dragon Society.
"The community is very widely distributed, but most of the powerful communities are concentrated in the Kanto, Hanshin and Kitakyushu regions, which are also the three most economically developed and densely populated areas in the city, otherwise the brotherhood that started in Yokohama would not have fought hard to enter the Kanto."
"What's the origin of the Osaka Shipping Agency?" Li Tingxuan asked for Liu Wei.
"Similar to the fraternity, the shipyard was founded more than 40 years ago by the joint labor unions of several major shipbuilders in the Osaka and Kobe areas, and has grown to become the largest society in the golden 30 years."
"More people doesn't mean more power." Mobei Wolf said a sentence on the side.
"It seems so now, but at the time, more people meant more power. Let's not forget, the world's third-largest shipbuilding country, which was only surpassed by South Korea more than a decade ago, fell to third only last year. "Zhang Jinnan knew that Mobei Wolf had always looked down on him, so he didn't bother to care." It is said that guns have always been strictly banned, and they were even stricter back then, and all major associations relied on swords to fight the world, and even now the major associations have been mainly armed and rarely use guns. The number of people often determines the grassroots strength of an association, and it is the same until now. ”
"No wonder I admire swordsmanship so much." Zhou Yulong added.
"With ordinary shipwrights, the shipyard can grow and grow?" Liu Wei pulled the topic back.
"The shipbuilding industry in this book can catch up with Europe and the United States in more than ten years, and the shipbuilding company has the greatest credit."
"What do you mean by that?" Zhou Yulong didn't understand.
"The shipbuilding company works for the management and solves the labor dispute, and the shipbuilding industry can naturally develop and grow." Li Tingxuan smiled and replied for Zhang Jinnan, "Over the years, the American auto industry has been struggling, and GM has gone bankrupt and reorganized, but this car company has become popular in the United States, and it is inseparable from labor-management relations. ”
"So, the ship club is really powerful?" Liu Wei's words were aimed at Zhang Jinnan.
"Suffice it to say, the ship company basically dominates the Hanshin area. Although nominally, there are six major societies in the Hanshin area, and the ship club is only one of them, but in terms of strength, the other five clubs are far behind. ”
"What is the relationship between the shipping company and the Overseas Chinese Promotion Association?" Mobei Wolf was a little impatient.
"In the 80s of the last century, the economy entered its heyday, and major enterprises expanded outward, such as Mitsubishi's purchase of the Luckfilo Center in New York, which made Americans exclaim that they were going to buy the entire United States. Because it was established by a trade union, the shipping agency was still a gray organization at that time, and it had a close relationship with the local authorities, so with the active support of the local authorities, the shipping company followed the tide and took the lead in expanding overseas. ”
"In other words, the Overseas Chinese Revitalization Association was established at that time?" Zhou Yulong asked.
"I can't say that yet." Zhang Jinnan shook his head and said, "At the beginning, the shipping company also wanted to take the right path, which is now called bleaching, and did not establish branches overseas, mainly by cooperating with major enterprises in this book to resolve labor disputes to expand its influence. It was not until the early 90s of the last century, when the bubble economy burst and the shipping company encountered an unprecedented crisis, in order to obtain the funds needed for survival, it returned to the bank and established the first association in Los Angeles Little Tokyo, which was mainly composed of overseas Chinese, that is, the predecessor of the Overseas Chinese Promotion Association, the Yueben Gang. ”
"In this way, the big boss behind the scenes of the Overseas Chinese Promotion Association is the boat club."
As soon as Liu Wei said this, Zhang Jinnan nodded and said: "At the beginning, the Ben gang did everything, and in the late nineties, there were a few big fights with the Mexican gangs, and the boat club has been paying for people. It's just that the strong dragon doesn't suppress the head snake, although the west coast is the main gathering place of overseas Chinese, but compared to the Mexicans, the overseas Chinese are not even a fraction of a fraction. Coupled with the lack of financial resources, after a few years of fighting, the gang was beaten down by Mexican gangs and the American police. Before the transformation, the Gang was mainly engaged in the entertainment industry, especially in Hollywood's Chengren film and television industry circle, which had a great influence. Even now, the Association mainly provides legal services to those artists who go to the United States to develop. ”
"It's really back to the old business." Mobei Wolf smiled, "So, what kind of Dongre and Yidao are all made by the Overseas Chinese Revitalization Association?" ”
Zhang Jinnan was stunned for a moment, and after understanding, he smiled bitterly.
It's really a dog that can't spit out ivory in his mouth, and he deviates from the topic when he opens his mouth.
"The boat club is the largest association in this book, why do you want to pull the Overseas Chinese Revitalization Association into the water?" Liu Wei pulled the topic back, as for what Dongre and Yidao, he had never heard of it.
"Needless to say? Definitely for double insurance. Zhou Yulong made a smart answer for Zhang Jinnan.
"It's not that simple, so to speak." Zhang Jinnan added to Zhou Yulong's answer. "Strictly speaking, the Association for the Promotion of Overseas Chinese is a semi-underground organization, and it has been working hard to bleach over the years, otherwise it would not have changed its name and changed shape. Although the shipping company is determined to prevent the 'Kanto Five' who held the event from stepping down, there is no need to let the Overseas Chinese Promotion Association come forward. If you mess up, you will definitely not be able to eat and walk around, and the loss will be too great. ”
"I probably want to promote the experience and expand the influence."
"What experience do you promote, make a small movie?" After saying a word, Mobei Wolf realized that it was Li Tingxuan who started to speak, and quickly retracted his head.
Here, there are two people he can't offend, one is Liu Wei, who can't be beaten, and the other is Li Tingxuan, who can't be provoked.
"In this and the United States, making small movies is also a serious business, which is much better than fighting and killing, and it makes a lot of money." Li Tingxuan just smiled, not taking the bullshit of the white-eyed wolf seriously. "If this society wants to have a great alliance, the key is not who has a hard fist, nor who has more money, but who can solve the livelihood of millions of community members, otherwise even if the great alliance is achieved by force, it will only be a flash in the pan and will not last long."
"That's right, in this regard, the ship company does the best." Zhang Jinnan had to admire Li Tingxuan, and grasped the key at once.
"Let's watch the game, both sides are on stage." Liu Wei ended the conversation.
As the participants from both sides entered, the audience suddenly boiled.
The five participants of the Overseas Chinese Promotion Association are all dressed in kimonos, with oriental swords pinned to their waists and clogs on their feet, in the standard oriental samurai style, except for the young man at the back, who is less than 20 years old, has short hair, unlike the previous four who tie his hair together and tie it in a bun.
In the audience, more than a dozen scratching girls who were screaming were running for the young man.
Taking a closer look, Liu Wei couldn't help laughing.
If there was no Adam's apple, anyone would think that the young man was a beautiful girl dressed as a man, not only with delicate skin, but also with delicate eyebrows, more girly than a girl.
Is this a man, too?
What are young women thinking nowadays, how do they like this kind of weird guy?
Thinking so, Liu Wei glanced back at the Jin sisters who were whispering softly to Hua Ruyu.
Fortunately, not all young women like men who don't look like men.
Also disliked by this scene was a young woman sitting in the stands opposite. Although she has also been paying attention to the young people who appear, she is not like other girls, she is hysterical, and there are still a few resentments in her expression. Probably unable to bear it, the young woman got up and left the audience as the young man waved to the audience, and walked down the aisle and straight out of the arena.
"It's boring, I'll go out for a walk." After speaking, Mobei Wolf stood up.
"Where are you going, we'll get to you later."
"No need, I've had enough fun and go straight back to the hospital."
"The dog said, I must be looking for happiness again." Zhou Yulong scolded with a smile. He didn't notice that before Mobei Wolf got up and left, his eyes kept falling on the audience opposite.
Everyone's energy is focused on the field, who would pay attention to a middle-aged uncle?
"Where did they come from?"
"Who?" Zhang Jinnan glanced at Liu Wei, "How many people are there in the Overseas Chinese Revitalization Association?" I don't know the first four, but the last one is a standard second ancestor. ”
"Second Ancestor?" Liu Wei's eyes widened.
"He is the second son of the leader of the ship company, Shunji Muto. I heard that I got into trouble in Osaka, so I went to Los Angeles two years ago, and I've been fooling around in Hollywood and making a lot of names. ”
"It's too big to send a second ancestor to lead the team, right?" Zhou Yulong was also full of surprise.
"It's a statement, the Overseas Chinese Revitalization Association has been in full swing in recent years, and it has always wanted to develop its reading power. If the boat company does not bleed its capital, I am afraid that the revitalization of overseas Chinese will not be in this muddy water. ”
"Taking the size of a second ancestor is not a loss-making transaction."
Zhang Jinnan nodded, indicating that it was Liu Wei's meaning.
At this time, the participants of another club, the Malaysian Federation, also took the field.
With just a glance, Liu Wei knew that there was nothing to see in this game.
The Federation of Malaysia sent five mercenaries, and the Association for the Promotion of Overseas Chinese sent four swordsmen. If it were compared to guns, those four swordsmen would definitely die ugly, but when it came to swords, mercenaries were far behind.
Liu Wei is definitely not the only one who has the same opinion.
When the referee introduced the rules and checked the weapons used by both sides, the outside market offered the odds. The bookmakers all believed that the Malaysian Federation would definitely lose, and offered the highest odds of 3.5 for it, and the odds of the Overseas Chinese Promotion Association were only a pitiful one, and the lowest odds were reduced to 1.05 at the close.
It's not a game, it's a one-sided kill!
