Chapter 590: Joining the Hongmen
Every U.S. presidential campaign is like a national speech convention, and the candidates are touring the states of the United States, promising every voter that he will bring them a better life and employment opportunities.
There are also TV speeches and various media exposures, which require huge amounts of money to support, and it is absolutely a big joke to want to run for president in the United States without money.
Therefore, in addition to the first presidents of the United States in Washington, the subsequent presidential campaigns always have a large team of think tanks behind them, and some consortia are providing huge campaign funds for the candidates.
As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking a small meal, and the presidential election is like this, and the underworld elects the boss, to put it bluntly, it is not much different from it.
In foreign countries, organized underworld has always been based on illegal ingestion of black income, and a strict gang system and clear distribution of rewards and punishments can make the organization grow and develop.
For example, the Mexican mafia is mainly engaged in drug trafficking, and occasionally participates in the human smuggling business, while the Canadian mafia that has infiltrated the United States is mostly engaged in the sex industry and processing industry, and drugs are also one of their main sources of income.
Although in these gangs, it is also a pyramid system, and those huge wealth are often held by a very small number of people, it is undeniable that even ordinary gang members can enjoy far more treatment than corporate white-collar workers.
Of course, these treatments are all exchanged for their lives or freedom, so any gang leader will not and dare not easily touch the interests of the grassroots members of the gang, and will try to improve their treatment as much as possible, all of which requires a lot of money as a basis.
And a super gang like Hongmen, which has existed for hundreds of years and has hundreds of thousands of children, the role of money is even more important, because many forces in the sect are themselves operating some money-making industries. The huge profits generated by these industries are maintaining their position.
If the superior can't bring them more lucrative benefits, then even a super boss like Lei Zhenyue in the Hongmen can't get their support. What's more, Lei Hu is only the son of Lei Zhenyue, and his prestige is not enough to convince the public.
Originally, Lei Zhenyue thought that with his prestige, he could make his son succeed in ascending to the throne, but later he found that although all the bigwigs in the Hongmen respected him, everyone did not buy it in this matter.
The biggest fear of the elderly is that they are not valued. The attitude of those elders in the door made the old and strong Lei Zhenyue have a pimple in his heart, and Elder Lei, who had never been selfish in his life, held his breath in his heart, and resolutely sent his son Lei Hu to the position of the leader of the Hongmen.
The first rule in the Hongmen is that it is strictly forbidden to kill each other, so although Lei Zhenyue is still in charge of the most elite weapons in the Hongmen, he cannot be used to assist his son to ascend the throne of the master of the gate. He can only follow the rules, so at this time, strong financial resources become crucial.
In fact, the relationship between Lei Zhenyue and the Song family. As long as he makes a request, the Song family will definitely support it, which in itself is also in the interests of the overseas Song family.
But what is wrong is that Song Weilan basically stayed in China for last year, handing over the affairs of the group to her most trusted subordinates, and looking for a trustworthy custodian fund, so she has a lot less contact with Hongmenzhong.
Lei Zhenyue once sent two invitations to Song Weilan, but Song Weilan did not go to the United States, but only told his subordinates to deal with it as appropriate.
However, the funds that Lei Zhenyue needed were quite huge, and the professional managers under her did not have the authority to allocate them at all. So she naturally rejected Lei Zhenyue's request, and did not report the matter to Song Weilan afterwards, the professional manager under her just regarded Lei Zhenyue as an old scoundrel who fought the autumn wind. …,
Lei Zhenyue, who was rejected, was furious at the time, and coupled with the deliberate provocation of some Song family disciples, he did not go to Song Weilan or Song Haotian for confirmation. is ready to teach Song Weilan, an ungrateful niece, in his own way.
The custodian fund was arranged by Song Xiaolong, and then recommended by Lei Zhenyue to Song Weilan, Song Weilan, who was defenseless against Lei Zhenyue, so she went on the road.
Tens of billions of dollars of investment, after various means of operation, this huge amount of money was reasonably and legally transferred to a company controlled by Song Xiaolong and others, and it was precisely because of this incident that Song Weilan rushed to the United States to explain to Lei Zhenyue in person.
After listening to Du Fei's explanation, Ye Tian pondered for a while and asked, "Mom, can you chase the money lost from this investment?" ”
Song Weilan shook her head and said, "I can't chase it, but I can terminate the custody relationship with that fund and pursue their legal responsibility!" ”
After a pause, Song Weilan continued: "Xiaotian, Mom doesn't care if the money can be recovered, she just wants to explain it to Uncle Lei, after all, the Lei and Song families have also been friends for more than half a century, and this money should be regarded as some compensation made by Mom to Uncle Lei." ”
For Song Weilan, since she decided to quit the business world to be a good wife and mother, money and career are not very important to her, and the reason why she still has nostalgia for the business empire she built is just out of a responsibility, so that those who followed her to fight the world back then have a good home.
"Wei Lan, I don't think you need to see Uncle Lei, in fact, after this incident, I once visited him and explained the matter, but for him, he will never regret what he has done, even if it is wrong, he will go all the way to the dark."
Du Fei is Lei Zhenyue's nephew and knows his character very well, like them, the elders look at face bigger than the sky, and it is almost impossible for him to apologize to Song Weilan, even if Song Weilan sees Lei Zhenyue, I am afraid that it will be useless.
"A road to the dark? What's the matter, you still want to leave my mom here? ”
After hearing Du Fei's words, Ye Tian's pupils couldn't help but shrink, since he arrived in the United States, he had a sense of crisis, there was no danger but it came from Hongmen, which made Ye Tian quite unhappy in his heart.
"I know one thing about Song Xiaolong's agreement with Lei Hu, they want your mother to hand over all the shares that belong to her, and then the two of them divide these shares equally, and the company is in charge of Song Xiaolong......"
Du Fei sighed, looked at Song Weilan and said, "I didn't let you come before, because I was afraid that they would put you under house arrest, but it's good for you to come in by yourself." ”
No matter how white the Hongmen is now, they still can't escape the rules of the gangs, and at some point they will not hesitate to use some means to achieve their goals, although those means are very disgraceful.
Du Fei had lived with Song Haotian for a period of time since he was a child, and his relationship with the Song family was closer than Lei Zhenyue's, he didn't know about it before, but now that he knew, he didn't hesitate to stand on Song Weilan's side.
"House arrest for my mother? Who wants to do that? Ye Tian sneered when he heard this, "Was it Lei Zhenyue or Lei Hu, or did Song Xiaolong bring it up?" ”
People have reverse scales, for Ye Tian, his reverse scales are his own family, Lei Zhenyue designed Song Weilan in order to seek wealth, Ye Tian is not very angry, but if he wants to hurt Song Weilan, it will definitely be a taboo for Ye Tian.
Du Fei thought for a moment and said, "It was Song Xiaolong who brought it up, and this matter was planned by him and Lei Hu, and Uncle Lei may not know about it." ”
"Xiaolong, this kid, how did he become like this?" ..., Song Weilan is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves, in the early years when she was up and down in the business sea, she experienced a more sinister environment than this time, she was not afraid, but a little sad.
You must know that Song Xiaolong lived with Song Weilan when he was very young, and Song Weilan at that time poured all her thoughts and feelings for her son into Song Xiaolong, which can be said to treat him like a parent, but Song Weilan didn't have anything, Song Xiaolong first calculated his son, and now he actually attacked himself again, is it worthless in his eyes for more than ten years of nurturing grace?
"Mom, you should understand that greed is one of the original sins of man."
Seeing his mother's sad look, Ye Tian gently hugged Song Weilan's shoulder, turned his face to look at Du Fei, and asked, "Is Song Xiaolong in San Francisco?" , where are they Thunder Tiger? ”
"Song Xiaolong heard that you were coming the day before yesterday, so he left San Francisco, and his ticket itinerary should be back to Africa."
Calculating his aunt with outsiders, if this matter spreads, even if Song Xiaolong can get those shares, it will be difficult for him to fully control the business empire, after all, many people in important positions in this consortium are old courtiers who followed Song Weilan to fight the world back then.
Although none of these people are the core leaders of the consortium, what they gathered together is enough to make this business kingdom collapse in an instant, and this consequence is something that Song Xiaolong can't afford, so he must hide in Africa when Song Weilan has an accident to avoid suspicion.
"Where's Thunder Tiger?" Ye Tian asked.
"Master, what do you want to do?"
Hearing Ye Tian's second inquiry about Lei Hu's news, Du Fei's expression became a little nervous, "Lei Hu is now the hall master of the Hongmen Torture Hall, master, I know that you are very good at kung fu, but no matter how powerful you are, you are not the opponent of the hundreds of thousands of disciples of the Hongmen, right?" ”
"I don't want to do anything......"
Ye Tian waved his hand, looked at Du Fei with a nervous face, and said, "I want to uphold Master's last wish and join Hongmen!" ”
