Chapter 35: The Forces (continued)

It was almost 8 o'clock in the evening, and there were no other guests in this small izakaya except for Li Guangzhi and their table.

Li Xiaomu's resentment against the Chinese gangsters in his heart seemed to be really not small, and after the last sentence was finished, he slammed the empty beer glass on the table as if venting. It wasn't loud, but it sounded harsh in a small, quiet space.

The boss who was wiping the dishes behind the counter heard the movement, and looked at it with some hesitation, Li Guangzhi didn't want to make more trouble, so he got up and greeted: "Boss, there are three more bottles of beer here, and there are three more fried meat and chicken skewers." ”

Since the last time he was chased and killed by the fish shop owner with a fish knife with Gao Dali, he is now a little frightened by the Japanese shopkeeper who is in his 50s and a stubborn old man, and he dare not provoke easily.

After the shopkeeper brought all the wine and food, he picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Li Xiaomu, and said curiously:

"Lao Li, listen to what you mean, this Chinese gang seems to be quite successful in Kabukicho Street? This is the first time I've heard of this, I've heard of the reputation of the Fuqing Gang before. ”

Li Xiaomu tapped his finger on the table a few times to show his gratitude, and said, "It's a bullshit climate!" Except for your Nu Luoquan and the Fuqing Gang, who dare to stiffen their waists in front of the Japanese, the other ones are especially some rats carrying guns - the characters of the nest. ”

He then explained in detail: "Needless to say, you orphaned descendants are either naturalized or permanent, and they all have official status, and of course your waist is relatively hard in front of the Japanese. I heard that you Nu Luo Quan was established in the first place to hold a group and not be bullied by the Japanese, right? ”

"The Fuqing Gang is different from your Nu Luoquan, they have a hard waist, relying on boldness, unity, and ruthlessness. Most of the Fuqing gang were stowaways, and when they arrived in Japan, not only did they have nothing, but they all owed a lot of debts to the snakeheads. So in order to make money, they do things that are really unscrupulous. Japan's gangsters are afraid of these people! ”

"Hiroshi, if you meet people with dark skin, large eyes, wide foreheads, and high cheekbones on the road in the future, you must be more careful. Most of the people in Fuqing look like this, and they don't care if you are Chinese or Japanese. ”

When he said this, a trace of panic flashed in Li Xiaomu's eyes, as if the scene that appeared in his mind at this moment still made him feel afraid. He lifted his glass and drank half a glass of beer from his neck before continuing:

"Last year I happened to meet four Fuqing gang members in a pachinko shop who were teaching a Japanese gangster, and after they put the gangster down, they didn't even plan to let me go, and it was useless to explain to them that I was Chinese. Thankfully, I was a fast runner. The next day, I read the newspaper and reported that the gangster had cut off both of his balls. The cut eggs were thrown in front of the store, and one was inadvertently trampled on by passers-by."

When Li Guangzhi heard the last sentence, he immediately felt a chill in his crotch. He said to Li Xiaomu a little helplessly: "Lao Li, there is no need to say this kind of detail so clearly, it hurts to hear it." ”

Li Xiaomu slapped his thigh, looked at him with an expression of "I really have you" and said: "Hey, Guangzhi, your word is really accurate, when I saw the news in the newspaper at that time, I couldn't help but think in my mind, if I hadn't run away at that time, that trampled egg would have been mine!" That's really scaring myself, scaring my eggs! ”

After being relieved by this joke, Li Xiaomu's mood also relaxed. He held a string of chicken skewers and said vaguely while eating:

"But Guangzhi, you can rest assured, these people from the Fuqing Gang basically won't come to us for any trouble. A small business like ours is not looked down upon at all. Their core business is human smuggling. In the 80s, there was a shortage of labor in Japan, and the control of smuggling was very loose, and boats loaded with human snakes could directly enter the port to unload people. In the past few years, they have fought with the Yamaguchi-gumi several times to fight for the right to use the ports in the Kansai region. ”

"Now that the Japanese government has cracked down on smuggling, they have become cooperating with a few Japanese gangsters. Boats controlled by Japanese gangsters go to the high seas to pick them up, and the Japanese Coast Guard barely cares about these yakuza boats anyway. ”

"This summer, the leader of the Fuqing Gang asked me to help him, saying that they were in short supply of people who could speak Japanese and negotiate with the Japanese at the handover. It is said that the annual income is about 10 million yen. At that time, I was mainly afraid that the risk would be too great, and I didn't want to really join the underworld, so I couldn't help but didn't agree to him. "A liaison translator can earn tens of millions of dollars a year, and you can imagine the income of the Fuqing Gang in this industry." So, as long as we don't take the initiative to provoke them, they won't look at our small business. ”

Li Xiaomu said all these insider gossips that Li Guangzhi had never heard of before, so at this time, he and Gao Dali were both interested in listening to them. However, while the desire for gossip was satisfied, he also secretly complained in his heart.

This Lao Li Fang has only been talking for so long, from the Japanese gangs all the way to China, but basically every introduction always has this sentence at the end, "This xx gang doesn't look down on our little business, so it has nothing to do with us"

"It has nothing to do with us, why are you introducing so much? Storytelling? Li Guangzhi rolled his eyes in his heart and said secretly: "You should hurry up and introduce the gangsters who have an impact on us, I am still waiting for you to take me to the special customs store to familiarize myself with the environment." ”

Li Xiaomu naturally couldn't hear Li Guangzhi's inner complaint, he was about to be interested in talking at this time, poured himself another glass of beer, and after drinking half a cup, he didn't even wipe the beer foam from the corner of his mouth, and continued to preach:

"Get rid of your Nu Luoquan and Fuqing Gang, and the remaining three Chinese gangs, the Shenhu Gang, the Beijing Gang, and the Northeast Gang, are all guys who dare not compete with the Japanese, and will only find food on the Chinese."

"The bosses of the Shenhu Gang came to Japan relatively early, around the early 80s. At that time, the people who dared to go abroad were generally bolder, and there were more shrewd people in Shenhu. These people are very good at finding loopholes and exploiting loopholes, and at that time, two of the three out-of-the-way ways for Chinese people to make money in Japan were started by people from Shanghai. ”

"In the early 80s, the Japanese government set up a number of magnetic card telephones on the streets of Tokyo, which could be used to make international calls using magnetic cards issued by NTT. At that time, a few foreigners cracked this magnetic card and created a batch of fake cards that could be used normally and sold them. Later, the Shenhu Gang somehow took over the business. It is said that it is a magnetic card with a face value of 10,000, and they sell it for 2,000, and basically sell it to the Chinese. At that time, more than 90% of Chinese in Tokyo had used this fake card to make domestic calls. ”

"After this business was done, NTT lost money and just quit it. As a result, the Japanese government had to dismantle all those magnetic card phones. You see, all the public telephones on the streets of Tokyo are coin-operated, and none of them use magnetic cards. ”

"The first batch of people in the Shenhu Gang who did this business basically made a fortune. In the early 90s, the people in Kabukicho Street retreated, and many of their shops were transferred to these Shenhu people. At present, most of the shops in the Kabukicho Street Wind Forest Kaikan area are opened by Shinhu people. ”

"The Shenhu Gang used to trouble me, mainly by forcing me to bring customers to their stores. I guess they've thought of driving me away and replacing it with their own people. But firstly, I have always been more cooperative with their requests, and secondly, there was Kumamoto from Sumiyoshikai behind me at that time, so they never did it. ”

When Li Guangzhi heard this, he knew that this was finally about to get to the point, so he put away the previous thoughts about listening to gossip and began to listen attentively.

"The people of the Beijing Gang came to Japan later than the Shenhu Gang, and several ways to make money did not catch up with the best time. They used to make money mainly by cheating in the pachinko shop, but because they came late, they only did it for a year or two, and the machines in the pachinko shop were all replaced with new versions, and the way of cheating didn't work. ”

"The first of them to make money early on the street also opened a few shops in Kabukicho Street. Now the Happy Forest is even the territory of the Beijing Gang, but their strength is much weaker than that of the Shenhu Gang. ”

"The power of the Beijing Gang is not very large, and the contradictions between them and the Shenhu Gang are also very deep. So I didn't have any intentions for my little business before. But now that the Northeast Gang has taken the initiative to come to the door to cooperate, I don't know what they will think later. ”

"As for the Northeast Gang, it is the poorest of the three gangs, and it is also the fiercest. They haven't caught up with either of the two ways of fake phone cards and pachinko shop cheating, and now they are making money by stealing cars and breaking empty doors, and they also rely on the advantage of having a large number of people and being able to fight, and help others with their own people. ”

"In my opinion, among the three gangs, the Northeast Gang is the biggest threat to us. Although the Dayong brothers suppressed their minds in the name of Nu Luo Quan. But I think this can only be effective in the short term. After all, a large group of their children want to earn money to eat, and this desire to survive is difficult to suppress by pressure. ”

After saying such a long and long paragraph, Li Xiaomu couldn't help but feel a little dry. He picked up the wine bottle and drank two glasses of beer in a row, then he looked at Li Guangzhi solemnly and said:

"Brother Guangzhi, that's probably the case. To be honest, I couldn't figure out how to solve this problem. Before you and Dayong came to work with me, I was mentally prepared to quit Kabukicho Street. And in my opinion, even with you and the Dayong brothers joining, it is only a temporary solution to the urgent need. The problem of these underworld forces, especially the Northeast Gang, will always exist. ”
