Chapter Seventy-Nine: Eating and Talking Tea
Hongfu Teahouse is the contact point of Hongmen Chunbaoshan in Qingdao, Li Ling once recuperated here, as the head of Qingdao of Chunbaoshan, he of course contacted the Hongmen people here for the first time. As You Fei said at the beginning, Chunbaoshan did not open up the situation in Qingdao, including the teahouse owner and his men, there were only about a dozen people in total. It seems a little ridiculous to want to rely on the mountain hall to do things for yourself.
In order to open up the situation in Qingdao, Li Ling had to take out ten gold bars to honor Wang Laona, and also invited the tycoons of Qingdao to eat and talk about tea in his name.
Eating tea is a form of negotiation at that time, if the two sides negotiate successfully, the on-site peacemaker will mix red and green tea into the teacup, and invite both parties to drink it to show reconciliation. If the two sides cannot reach an agreement, they will immediately resort to force.
Wang Lao's face is still very large, and the big and small hooligan leaders who received the invitation came here to the banquet one after another. What surprised Li Ling was that Wang Laona faced many leading figures on the ground in Qingdao, as if he had changed a person, and the character of the timid mother-in-law was restrained, and he sat in the center with a big sword and a golden horse, just nodding and greeting to the people who came, showing his superhuman status. And those gangs are not strange in their minds, but rather flattering.
Jinglian and Chang Jingzhi were also called over by Li Ling, Chang Jingzhi has been a county master for many years, and if he can sign an agreement, he will be counted on. Jinglian will introduce them one by one.
The first to come in was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a pair of blue cloth sloppy pants and a wide cowhide belt tied around his waist. Under the broad thick eyebrows, a pair of shrewd, deep eyes flashed. This person is Shi Gong, the chief inspector of the Qingdao Police Department. The collusion between the police and the bandits became clear, and he said hello to Wang Laona and sat leisurely on the side and smoked.
The second is Shen Wentian, the leader of the Chaozhou Gang, who is not tall and slightly tough. After saluting Wang Laona and Shi Gong, he looked at Li Ling sitting there suspiciously, nodded at him and said no more.
The third one who came in was Huang Changling of the Northeast Gang, as soon as he entered the door, he looked at Li Ling with four eyes, his eyes flashed, and then he smiled: "How can I say that Old Man Wang has such leisure to invite everyone to tea today, it turned out to be an invitation from Li Ling's little brother." The little brother really has the dragon and phoenix among the people, and he turned Qingdao upside down in a few days, admire, admire. ”
Li Ling listened carefully and couldn't hear the good words he said, so he simply hugged his fists and ignored it. The leaders of the powerful factions who came in behind Huang Changling were all influential factions, and they hugged their fists one by one to greet each other and communicate with each other. Most of them had some doubts about Li Lingneng's ability to sit next to Wang Laona. Of course, the brains of the characters who can get ahead in Qingdao are not simple, and after thinking about it, they can guess the identity of this young man, and then their faces change greatly.
Li Ling strongly intervened in Qingdao, and the battle that day was terrifying. It's just that Qingdao has Qingdao rules, even if you want to come to Qingdao to break into the dock, someone has to take care of it, and then worship the Quartet, and be able to live without harming everyone's interests. Just relying on the hard fists to get a piece of the pie, the army is not tougher than Li Ling's hundreds of people. Therefore, at the request of Hu Xinyi of Johor Bahru Company, Café de la Café sold a face, and they all spoke out to boycott the Tan Kee Casino that Li Lingxin took over.
If one or two people resist, it will be fine, and the key is that all the leading figures in Qingdao will be sanctioned. The anger of the public is difficult to commit, and when Li Ling has no foundation, it is difficult to move an inch at all.
It is estimated that there are still some heavyweights who have not been present, and there is a lot of noise in the teahouse saying all kinds of meat jokes, and no one pays attention to Li Ling. Li Ling leisurely tasted the tea, and secretly said why he hadn't paid attention to drinking tea before, it was still quite refreshing.
One after another, big and small hooligan leaders came in, and the entire teahouse was full of people, and some of the leaders' subordinates had to wait outside the teahouse, and some guests who really came to the teahouse to drink tea saw this situation and had already slipped away.
Li Ling once again felt that he was clumsy, there were many large and small hooligan forces in the Qingdao territory, and what he saw was only the surface. Jinan is its own sphere of influence, and I don't know if there is still a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger.
After waiting for about half an hour, a panicked figure suddenly came over at the door, and said eagerly: "Brother Ling, it's not good, a large number of people have come outside and surrounded the casino." ”
This is Luo Jindao, who followed Li Ling from Jinan, and he is not young, but he can't hold his breath. Li Ling glared at him and said, "We accept guests from all over the world, and all the guests who come are guests, and we are surrounded by what we talk about." ”
Luo Jindao was suddenly startled, and then he looked to the side, but when he saw those big and small hooligan leaders looking at him with sneers, he felt that he was a little abrupt. Standing behind Li Ling stupidly.
"Accept visitors from all over the world, the tone is not small, and I am not afraid to hold on." A very abrupt voice sounded from outside, and everyone in the teahouse got up to greet them when they heard the voice, even Wang Laona.
A twenty-seven-eighteen-year-old young man walked in with his head held high, he was wearing a traditional Chinese robe, but he combed a big hair imported from abroad, looking a little nondescript. ignored everyone's compliments, and a pair of triangular eyes bypassed everyone and stared directly at Li Ling.
Li Ling looked at him without fear for more than ten seconds. The young man raised his chin and said, "I'm Hu Xinyi, what about you?" ”
"Li Ling," Li Ling hated the other party's feeling of being on top of the other party the most, and after announcing his name, he leaned back on the chair and tasted tea.
Hu Xinyi can become a tycoon-level figure in Qingdao at a young age, and he has his own uniqueness, seeing that Li Ling's shelf is bigger than himself, Hu Xinyi's eyes flashed with anger, and said with a smile: "I heard that a big man came to Qingdao these days, killed Tan Lao Er, and occupied other people's casinos, this person is you, right?" ”
Hu Xinyi sent more than 400 subordinates to aid Tan Xiangsen, but he was beaten and lost his armor, and he had already figured out Li Ling's origin in the past few days. After suffering such a big loss, of course he will not give up, although the words are good, but the tone is domineering.
Li Ling smiled slightly and said, "Since you guessed why ask again, I declare once again that it was his nephew who killed Tan Xiangsen to avenge his father, and we will assist from the side." ”
"Then you occupy Nestle in Tan Kee Casino, can you say hello to the seniors here? If you want to rely on only two or three hundred people, you don't put the local seniors in your eyes, you are so bold. Hu Xinyi said coldly.
Where does the gangster society care if you take revenge or not, everyone cares about Tan Xiangsen's huge industry after his death. All local forces want to intervene, and no one can tolerate an outsider snatching a cake. Hu Xinyi also wanted to pull everyone on a front and drive Li Ling away with the same hatred. Sure enough, after his words came out, some people responded eagerly and condemned Li Ling one after another, blaming him for breaking the rules of the rivers and lakes.
Li Ling sighed, he is still weak, if he can have the strength to make everyone awe, who would dare to make irresponsible remarks. Keeping these people secretly in mind, Li Ling hugged his fists and said: "When I first arrived, there was indeed something wrong, and I would like to ask all the heroes and heroes to make it easier." In the future, everyone will look up and see you, if everyone is sent, I, Li Ling, will definitely go all out. Today, I will also ask everyone to give a face, and there will be generous gifts later. ”
"Face? Why give you face, what are you? The corners of Hu Xinyi's mouth rose, and he sneered coldly.
As soon as he spoke, He Jiatang Jinglian behind Li Ling, including Luo Shuangdong, who was standing behind him just now, all changed their faces greatly, and they reached into their arms to prepare to take out the guy.
Li Ling stopped the actions of the three of them, and then said coldly: "I respect you as a famous person on the ground in Qingdao, you actually toast without eating and drinking, what do you want to do draw a way, I Li Ling will take it." ”
"What do you want to do?" Hu Xinyi laughed: "Of course I want you to pull your head, haha." ”
He Jiatang finally couldn't bear it anymore, took out a gun and pointed it at him, and shouted: "Lao Tzu killed you first." ”
As soon as he moved his gun, all the people who followed Hu Xinyi showed their guns and confronted each other, shooting fiercely at each other as long as they disagreed.
Such a tense situation made the faces of the rest of the rogue leaders present change greatly. Bullets have no eyes, and once there is an exchange of fire, no one dares to guarantee that they can retreat safely.
"There's something to say, there's something to say." Wang Laona was shocked, waved his hand again and again to stop everyone, and the two sides comforted each other.
Wang Laona has a very high rank in Qingdao, but when it comes to power, he can't compare with anyone here. It's just that as soon as he opened his mouth to persuade him, the rest of the people also echoed him. Seeing that Li Ling didn't mean to do anything, Hu Xinyi asked his entourage to put away the gun, and said with some yin and yang weirdness: "I haven't asked you about your gang leader and your noble character faction?" ”
In the coastal cities, the rivers and lakes are basically the same as the Qing Gang, and the Qing Gang is divided into the only six remaining systems of "Jianghuai Si", "Xingwu 4", "Xingwu 6", "Jiahaiwei", "Jiabai" and "Hangsan". Ask the helper which system it is, of course.
Different from the rules that joining the Hongmen are all brothers, the Qinggang is to accept apprentices to pass it on, and the word school is which generation, and the generation of the Republic of China period is "big, general, enlightened, and learned." "Of course, the lower ranks should respect their elders.
Hu Xinyi is the "enlightenment" generation of the Green Gang, this age is not low, he estimates that Li Ling is the "learning" generation of the Green Gang, and the highest is his own generation.
However, what he never expected was that Li Ling was slightly stunned, and then said something that made everyone laugh. Li Ling said seriously: "I'm not in the Qing Gang, I'm the head of Qingdao in Hongmen Chunbaoshan." ”
"Hongmen Chunbaoshan, haha, Hongmen Qingdao Fangshou." Hu Xinyi laughed heartily.
"It turned out to be a void, and it was so bold to come to grab food from my Green Gang without helping."
"The head of Hongmen is still the head of Qingdao. Haha, that's so funny. ”
……
The two gangs of Qinghong are intertwined with each other, and everyone present here also understands the position structure of Hongmen, and the "head of the square" is a figure who controls one side and is extremely powerful. But regardless of the hypocrisy of Li Ling's position, the head of Qingdao, who has not yet opened the situation, also makes people laugh off their big teeth. What's more, this place is the sphere of influence of the Qing Gang, if there were still people sympathetic and optimistic about Li Ling at the beginning, now almost all regard him as an opponent.
Li Ling has faced cynicism since he was a child, and it is not strange. It's just that He Jiatang Jing even a few people are staring at everyone with a blue face.
After everyone stopped for a while, Li Ling said lightly: "I don't know if you have any advice?" ”
Hu Xinyi finally couldn't hold back his laughter and said, "Don't you dare to give advice, you ask Hongmen what are the consequences of wanting to come to the Qinggang to break into the dock?" ”
"Ahem, ahem." Wang Laona attracted everyone's attention and said, "The Qinggang Hongmen used to be incompatible, and now although it has eased, it can't find wealth on the territory of the Qinggang. Originally, I was going to come here to pick up a beam for everyone to resolve disputes, but now I can't control this matter. ”
Wang Lao couldn't control what he wanted, of course, he just let everyone encircle and suppress Li Ling.
Li Ling didn't take Wang Lao too seriously, knowing that this matter was difficult today, but it was impossible to give up, so he had to say: "I have a foothold in Qingdao, and I will also create a world in Qingdao." If you can't write it, then you can only meet each other. ”
Shi Gongzhu, the chief inspector of the Police Department, sighed slightly and said, "Qingdao has given me a little face, and I don't want Qingdao to be bloody." In the early years in Tianjin, Jiang Pan, a member of the Hongmen family, wanted to open a mountain and establish ten thousand, but was blocked by the people of our Youth Gang. He sent his subordinates to go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire to cramp and peel the skin, so as to be recognized by the Green Gang. If you want to represent Hongmen in Qingdao, just watch it! ”
Hu Xinyi said with a smile: "Since you are sincere to set up the wharf, take out your heart for everyone to see." ”
