"It should be said that this is an opportunity given to us by God." On the way back, Tiger drove in front, and I sat in the back seat with Eighth Master. I didn't speak, I just listened to the eighth master quietly, I know, he will definitely tell me everything, all the questions in my heart, the eighth master will tell me the answer.

So in the presence of Mr. Thorin, I was rightly silent.

"Damn El Niño?? No, no, it should be the great El Niño! Who invented this term? Thanks to this climate, several successive hurricanes in South America at the beginning of this year caused huge losses to the plantations of South American drug suppliers...... You know, the goods of the American continent have always relied on South American plantations for supplies. As for us, we come from the East, and the drug market in the Americas does not have our share in the first place. But twenty years ago, we made a way out of guns in the big circle...... The market can be opened up by force, but we don't have the supply of goods...... The source of goods in the Americas has nothing to do with us, our goods have always come in from the East, Southeast Asia, the Golden Triangle! We use the Golden Triangle to ship to North America and grab business with those guys. But after all, we are Chinese, and in this white world, we Chinese are not the mainstream after all. The Angels of Hell have taken control of most of Canada's market...... We can only compete with the Vietnamese, with the Indians, with the Iranians, with those guys for a small share of the business. ”

"The drug market in the Americas has been stable...... But this time, the wonderful weather gave us a great opportunity...... Drug plantations in South America have suffered heavy losses in this successive hurricane weather...... The problem now is that this year's production will certainly not be able to meet the needs of the market! I have received the news that despite the fact that the hell of the earth is open, the hand has been working hard to mobilize the supply...... But don't forget, there's also an American ...... below Canada The mafia and several major families in the United States are also going to eat away from part of the supply. There is already a shortage of supply. The angels of hell will also have to divide up with the underworld in the United States, and they will get even less! ”

"But they don't have the supply, we do! Because of historical reasons, the source of our drug business in the big circle has never been South America, and we all buy from the Golden Triangle. The problem now for the angels of hell is that they will either put down their shelves and cooperate with us and share the supply with us, or they will have to face the status quo that the addicts in Canada have no powder to smoke this year! ”

"In fact, almost all the underworld forces are now in the industrialization of collectivization, traditional pornography, gambling and drugs. There are already some people who can't keep up with the times. We have also been looking for a path forward, and now we are working with Angels on digital crime...... Do you understand digital crime? It's a fake credit card, and a satellite TV receiver. These things are very profitable! At the same time, the funds earned are invested in various industries such as real estate, and after the funds are laundered, the money becomes clean! The question we have been facing before is...... We are Chinese! The Chinese will never be the mainstream society here, and these high-end things are monopolized by the angels of hell...... In addition to the satellite TV cracker we have mastered a lot of other aspects of the field. We're all on the fringes and now this is a great opportunity! ”

I had been listening quietly to the eighth master, and only then did I slowly speak: "Eighth master, what do you mean: use our drug supply in exchange for the market share of other territories they give up?" ”

"Yes!" The eighth master sighed, he pressed a button, and a metal drawer popped up in a miniature wine cabinet in the car next to the luxurious car, and the eighth master took out a bottle of red wine and opened it, and took out two wine glasses from the wine cabinet and filled it. Then he looked at me. Said slowly: "I just said...... Traditional underworld activities, pornography, gambling and drugs, have gradually failed to keep up with the cháo stream and the times! It's the time of the economy! High-end branch crime is the mainstream! We have to move closer to the mainstream. Take the road of collectivization and industrialization! Otherwise, you can only fight for the rest of your life! ”

I took the red wine he handed over and clinked glasses with him, but I didn't expect the eighth master to drink it all in one sip! A large glass of red wine was poured into his mouth. Tiger, who was driving in front, had his eyes drifting back from the inverted mirror: "Eighth Master...... Your body ......"

"It's okay, happy today." The eighth master smiled faintly and put down the cup. I found that after a glass of red wine, a layer of redness immediately appeared on the face of the eighth master's original Bai Zhe...... That's a bit of a morbid flush!

"My only regret. Now within our organization, many brothers still haven't seen the reality clearly! When I proposed to exchange drug supplies for other markets with the angels of hell, many people in the house immediately objected vehemently...... Alas, even Lao Qi didn't agree with me very much. They are all afraid that the angels of hell will eat our drug supply, and they are afraid that they will swallow our drug market instead...... These guys...... Alas, although drugs make money, this money is too hot! Now the blow is getting stronger day by day, and the future will see. Organizational industrialization and collectivization is the trend, and we are precisely in this aspect that we have been lacking for the longest time...... This is a great opportunity...... If we can exchange the supply of drugs for a part of the market, then we can take this opportunity to transform!! Close to the mainstream!! ”

He looked at me, spoke seriously, and said slowly: "The era of pornography, gambling and drugs has passed, and the current underworld is not twenty years ago!" There was a pause: "Xiao Wu, what do you think?" ”

I took a sip of my wine and thought, "I think you're thinking very far. ”

My tone was serious. Then I confessed: "I don't know much about these things you said, but I think what you said makes a lot of sense. At least in terms of the development of the underworld, I feel that you are right. ”

I put down the wine glass, then took out a cigarette, lit one for myself, and gave another to the eighth master, while brewing words, I said slowly: "When I was in China, Fang Dahai said to me: What is real black!" Black to the point of black and white, it is called real black! ”

"If an underworld force wants to have a long vitality and develop and grow, it can't fight forever. Pornography, gambling and drugs, although these industries can make money, their models are destined to be petty fights! Because it's a drug. This kind of thing will never last long. It's even less likely to be public! However, if we want to develop, we must be civilized and move closer to the mainstream society...... So I think you're right. Maybe we will lose some of the drug supply in the short term, but in the long run, it is an opportunity. When I finished, I smiled, "I'm just telling you something about what I think, and of course, I don't know enough about these things." So ......"

"That's it." The eighth master shook his hand and said with a smile: "I am very satisfied that you can have this kind of thought, and I can explain the doubts in your heart below......"

Facing the eighth master's gaze at me, I was a little embarrassed. Frankly, one of the most powerful people in Vancouver really surprised me by such a statement.

"I need someone, preferably a new face." The eighth master sighed: "I said, many old brothers don't agree with this business. It's just that most of them have been fighting and killing all their lives, so we are still very united, and there will be no mess. But it's impossible for them to do it...... I had to find someone to help me and be my assistant. This person must have no prejudice against this kind of business, you are considered to meet this condition, and secondly...... I need someone who will satisfy me, at least for now. ”

I nodded, my face serious.

"Chen Yang. I haven't been idle in the past few months, I have already asked Fang Fatzi to give me your foundation in China. I know very well those grievances you have in China...... I'll say something nasty. I'll leave this matter to the other old brothers in the organization, and I'm not at ease! Because most of them have preconceptions about it! If I give it to a newcomer, I don't feel at ease! The new generation of brothers in our big circle are all born locally, and they don't have much concept of the country anymore. If you're happy, you'll hit me with your hands, and I still tend to believe in my brothers from China. It's just my personal emotional inclination. You are my temporary assistant...... Don't worry, I won't give you power all at once...... I'm not that bold! But if you can satisfy me, I guarantee you'll get everything you want here! We are different from the traditional Chinese gangs in the local area, we came to North America twenty years ago, relying on blood and guns in our hands. It's just a piece of the world! We're not like the gangs that are circulating, and we pay attention to seniority...... In my place, as long as you are your own person, as long as you have the ability, I guarantee that you can be in the position! He took a slow puff on his cigarette, looked at me, and smiled: "The premise is that you can continue!" ”

The car is driving smoothly. The eighth master pulled out a small pull-out coffee table under the seat of the carriage, then dipped his fingers in the wine glass with wine, and then lightly drew four circles on the table.

"We're going to work with the angels of hell, and the first thing we need to solve is four troubles......

The first, Vietnamese. The second, the Indians. The third, the Iranians. Fourth, the local traditional Chinese gang. ”

"Basically, we don't worry too much about the Indians, because the drug trade of the Indians has some Indian extremist groups behind it, and those guys are terrorists! Terrorists have always been associated with political movements, but we are not politicians, we are gangsters...... In the same way, the angels of hell don't want to be associated with those horrors, which would cause big trouble! So it's already hard for the Indians to compete with us. ”

"And then there are the Iranians...... The gangs of the Iranians have a strong religious sè color, and those are religious fanatics...... Now that the diplomatic relationship between the United States and Iran is delicate, none of us can be sure that there will be another war in the Middle East, if Iran becomes the next Iraq and is defeated by the United States...... Then the consequences are severe...... So, in order to avoid these risks, the angels of hell will not cooperate with the Iranians either. At the same time, Mr. Sorin told me privately that he himself did not like overly fanatical religious elements. ”

"The third is the Vietnamese. The Vietnamese gang is very powerful in Canada...... In fact, 20 years ago, when our big circle first landed in North America, the Vietnamese were very arrogant here, and even those local Chinese gangs had to look at the faces of the Vietnamese, and they were bullied by the Vietnamese so much that they didn't even dare to fart. The advantages that the Vietnamese possess are also obvious...... Their country's economic environment is in Southeast Asia, and it is easy to get in touch with the Golden Triangle. And the quality of their personnel is also very high, many Vietnamese gang guys, all have a background in military service, and many are veterans. It's a tough bone to chew. Moreover, we and the Vietnamese have been working non-stop all these years. You don't know how many times you did it, how many people died. In general, we had the upper hand. So, there's nothing to say about it......"

"As for the fourth ......," the eighth master shook his head and sighed: "Fourth, it's the local Chinese gang...... Most of these Chinese gangs are locals, and although they are of Chinese descent, many of them have been rooted here for two or even three generations...... Emotionally, they have been separated from the leased country for too long and too far away, and emotionally, I am very reluctant to go against them. But I had to do it! Because, in fact, when we landed in North America, the people who rejected us the most were precisely these fellow Chinese! ”

"Most of our big circle were smuggled, and in order to suppress our development, these local gangs often used the organizational situation of clan associations, fellow villagers' associations, Chinese chambers of commerce, and so on. Xiang zhèngfǔ, to jǐng fang, protest the situation of smuggling, and ask jǐng fang to vigorously suppress the phenomenon of smuggling......" Ba Ye laughed: "The most ridiculous thing is that these guys have also made some statements to protest China's inaction against smuggling, and they even asked China zhèngfǔ to increase its crackdown on domestic smuggling to North America...... Actually, these are all to suppress our big circle! Because in the beginning, they used to us hard. We did it badly, so they were scared! I'm frustrated by what these guys are doing...... I am also Chinese, and I do not want to be an enemy of them. They say smuggling...... Hey! You go to Chinatown and look at it casually, a lot of Chinese Americans. Most of their first generation, Happy Hand, were sold to North America by selling piglets! After that, how many of their previous generations were also smuggled!! Those who really come to Canada legally to settle down, immigrants, very rarely...... Most of the legal immigrants come, who will come out to mix with the underworld! Now that they have taken root here, they don't have to smuggle out, or they don't rely much on smuggling, in order to suppress us new smugglers. He protested, and even helped North America to protest against the domestic zhèngfǔ...... Regarding the bullshit human rights bill in country M, there is an attack on the domestic zhèngfǔ for the crime of smuggling is not strong enough, and there are many signatures of local traditional Chinese gangs on it!! These grandchildren! ”

The eighth master took a hard puff of the cigarette, then snuffed out the cigarette, slowly let out a breath, and regained his composure slightly: "Chen Yang, you are the person I fancie." I fancy your youth, your potential, and your experience in China, Fang Fatzi said that you are a potential talent, I believe this! You've passed my test too...... Now I've decided to make you my assistant, and whether you can satisfy me in the future depends on your performance. ”

He smiled: "Our negotiations with the Angels of Hell will continue, but you don't need to worry about this, from tomorrow, you don't have to wash the car, I will let Tiger teach you something every day." When you're almost done, I'll put you in charge of some things...... If all goes well...... In our deal with the Hell Angels this year, you will be in charge of directly contacting the Hell Angels as my representative. To put it simply...... You will be my plenipotentiary. ”

My heart trembled.

Someone said that life will always give you a gorgeous turn suddenly and inadvertently.

I think I've got a chance!

A big opportunity!!

I really don't have to wash my car anymore. Although I still live in a dorm room and share a room with Ciro, I am called into the office every day during the day, and Tiger teaches me a lot of things face-to-face.

What I first learned was how our big circle came to North America!

Big Circle!!

It's an interesting name. In fact, the big circle refers to the mainland! The so-called Big Circle Gang also refers to the mainland gang in general. People from the mainland.

The real earliest generation of big circles is actually about fifty years old now. Their generation has all gone to the mountains and the countryside, and then they have also experienced the war against Vietnam. A lot of people are veterans.

In the 80s of the last century, Daquan once set off a wave of heat in Hong Kong and Macao, and many big cases were made. Later, the Great Circle developed overseas, mainly in North America.

It can be said that in North America at that time, in addition to local gangs, there were Chinese gangs, Vietnamese gangs, Indians, and Middle Easterners. Wait a minute...... The arrival of the big circle was once resisted. But the quality of the personnel in the big circle is strong, and they just rely on fists, knives, and guns and bullets to fight a way!

Speaking of the last century, in the nineties, the big circle of the North American underworld was once all the rage!

It's frustrating to say...... The most jealous of the big circle is not outsiders, but many local traditional Chinese gangs in North America. And before the big circle came to North America, he was the most bullied. It is precisely those traditional Chinese gangs in North America.

These topics are so complicated that I read the materials and listened to Tiger talk to me for a whole day. The two smoked cigarettes in the house for a day. Tiger has undoubtedly followed Ye for a long, long time, and it is clear that he is also the first generation of the big circle! I could tell from the bullet holes in his arms as he rolled up his sleeves and talked to me.

"Tiger, may I ask you a question?" I stared into his eyes: "The eighth master wants to arrange an assistant, why don't you find a ...... from the side For example. You. You should be someone he trusts a lot. ”

Tiger was silent for a while, he smoked with his head down, then suddenly smiled, came over and patted me on the shoulder, and said, "Boy, this question is only understood by the eighth master himself." ”

At that moment, I saw a hint of helplessness in his eyes...... Or, with a hint of unwillingness.

I started learning English. This time, it was the teacher invited by the eighth master to teach me English systematically.

Two teachers taught speaking and one teacher taught me grammar.

In fact, there are many language schools in North America, but many of them are scammers. Some are even Indians, or Chinese who have only been in North America for less than two years, and their tongues are not straight when they speak English. I dare to give lessons to people, and the fees are expensive! The deceitful are those who have just come to North America to eat and go abroad to dig gold.

However, the teachers who taught me were clearly not liars.

Honestly, I'm miserable.

Even in the three months when I followed the old cat and Lao Kong to learn killing skills, I was never so tired!

God testifies that the thing I hate most in my life is studying.

Thankfully, I know how important it is for me to learn a language. At this time, I just have to bite the bullet and memorize it, and I have to gnaw down the English.

After a month, I had basically no problem talking...... But just one, I can't write it.

Lots of grammatical sentence patterns. I can only speak, I can listen, but I can't write.

The eighth master is already very satisfied...... In fact, many immigrants in North America have very average English, as long as ordinary conversation is okay.

That afternoon, I was lying in my room, listening to the poems of the leader on the soundtrack.

Frankly. I'm getting more and more interested in listening to this stuff now.

The vigorous and heroic poems, accompanied by the magnificent music, make people feel a sense of joy when they listen to it! No wonder in those days, everyone listened to this! It's a great thing to get your blood pumping!

The phone rang suddenly, I looked at it, it was an unfamiliar number, and after answering, I heard a delicate and beautiful voice coming from the microphone.

"Hello baby."

I was stunned for a moment, and then smiled: "Your Royal Highness Princess, hello." ”

"I'm not good." On the other end of the phone, Sophie's tone was a little lower: "I'm not good! I'm mad at you! Why didn't you look for me after that? ”

I thought about it for a moment and smiled, "I'm sorry, I've been busy, and besides, I don't have your phone number. ”

"That's not an excuse." Her Royal Highness immediately pierced me: "I don't have your phone number either, but I can find it." And you, you didn't even check. ”

I glanced at my mouth.

Indeed, I had no intention of finding this woman again, even though she had a body that was perfect enough to drive a man crazy, with a face as pure as an angel and a bed as windy as the devil...... But that kind of excitement, it is enough to enjoy it once.

Seeing that I didn't speak, the cunning princess was very clever and did not continue to ask me, but changed her tone: "Baby, I have always missed you...... Really, you're just amazing, and I was really impressed that day...... I won't be able to forget you after that...... Even if I try to find other men...... But they're all too far behind you......"

I frowned slightly.

Her remarks immediately made me less interested in her a lot......

"Your Royal Highness, do you have anything to do with me?"

"I need your help." Sophie said in a coquettish tone on the other end of the phone: "Right now, right now!" ”

I misunderstood this as that kind of thing, and said with a wry smile: "Your Royal Highness, now is really not a convenient time, I have no interest today. ”

"Oh my God! ......" Sophie listened to the exaggerated shrill on the other end of the phone, and laughed casually, "What do you want to do?" I don't mean that...... Yes...... But it really reminded me! I thought we could try again if we had time tonight! ”

I could only smile bitterly on the phone, and I really couldn't communicate with this Western girl and her attitude towards "xìng".

"Okay, I'm really looking for you." Sophie put away her laughter and said slowly, "Can you accompany me to an occasion tonight?" I'm going to meet someone. ”

I thought for a moment: "Who? ”

"Yes......" Sophie hesitated: "Yes...... She! ”

I smiled wryly and didn't speak.

Sophie pleaded with a hint of pleading in her tone: "I just wanted to ask you to be my male companion...... Maybe I'm a little pitiful when I say that, I just want to protect myself! You should be able to understand the feeling...... I just want to show that I don't look that pathetic! Let her think that I am happy without her! ”

Seeing that I still didn't speak, Sophie calmed down a little on the other end: "I heard that you and my father are talking about a deal recently, if you are willing to do me a small favor, maybe I will make some compensation at the right time!" ”

I didn't hesitate this time and immediately agreed!

There is no one who does not know the status of this princess in the heart of Mr. Sorin, and there are also people who deny the influence of this beautiful princess on her father!

"Okay, time, place, you tell me, I'll prepare it immediately."

"Oh, that's great! Baby! Sophie screamed excitedly, and then said quickly: "Oh, it's on xxx street, there's a restaurant where Chinese food is very good, you know, she's just like you, and a Chinese......"

I put down the phone, didn't stop, and immediately started getting dressed.

It's a bit boring, but a lot of times, you have to do something boring, don't you?
