"What does it mean to find someone available from among the top twelve?" Li Yapu heard some doorways, thought about it and asked, "Then how to start the first step?" ”

"First check their current status, power, hobbies, temperament, sects, and whether they have entered the Yellow Gate. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info" Chen Wenqiang closed the information and pushed it back to Li Yapu, "Those who are unwilling will have complaints, and most of them will not depreciate their identities and worship gold as an old man." Get the information out of the way and I'll see if there's anyone available. We will have tea in three days, so we have to hurry up. ”

"Understood." Li Yapu paused, and said with a somewhat strange face: "Listening to the brothers below, there are very prostitutes who are grateful to the eldest brother because they have been cured by the new medicine, and I want to express my gratitude!" ”

Chen Wenqiang hurriedly shook his head and said, "Be careful, don't let them be indiscriminate, ruin my reputation." ”

Clinical trials, new drugs cost no or very little money, and indeed cured a lot of suffering prostitutes* because of this. But such a group of people thanked them with fanfare or something, Chen Wenqiang felt that it was better to be exempted!

…………

Professional versus amateur, covert versus overall, organized and deliberate versus loose and unclear, the outcome of this rivalry was almost certain from the start. However, Chen Wenqiang hopes to win more skillfully and easily. And the criterion of victory will not be simply to get rid of someone, but to defeat an evil force and take control of a territory.

In Chen Wenqiang's view, although Huang Jinrong and his gang have done a lot of evil, the Green Gang is also a cancer in society, and it is always not wrong to lose both sides or fight together. But the Qinggang is very widely distributed, not just in the city of Shanghai. Therefore, it is best not to display the banner and be regarded as an enemy by the Green Gang, so as not to be hindered in the operation of industry and commerce in the future.

As far as the situation of the Qinghong Gang at that time is concerned, the old feud of historical origins has almost been forgotten, and the struggle is nothing more than a conflict of interests of the gang. Therefore, there are many characters who cross the blue and red gangs, and they have not been dealt with by any gang rules and family laws. Gangs are increasingly being swayed by pragmatism, and their purpose is increasingly swayed by interests, and more and more by the size of their power in the way and attitude they take. In fact, from a certain point of view, this is already the foundation and harbinger of the merger of the green and red gangs.

The confluence of the Qinghong Gang began in the lower reaches of the Yangtze River at the end of the 19th century, and the key figure was Xu Baoshan, the leader of the Lianghuai and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River. Xu Baoshan first joined the Green Gang, and after having a certain amount of power, he befriended Ren Chunshan, the leader of the Red Gang, and the two became brothers with different surnames. At the same time, the two introduced each other to join each other's gangs, and then opened the mountain, taking a word from each of the two names and named "Chunbaoshan", which means that the Qinghong Gang has completed the organizational convergence in some areas.

Because of the impetus of economic interests, the eventual convergence between the two seems to be the general trend. Chen Wenqiang does not deny this, but who integrates whom, who influences whom, and whose purpose will be recognized and adhered to is a question to be solved.

In other words, it is okay to merge currents, but not to join forces, not to change "righteousness and mutual assistance" to "profit-seeking", and not to "unite and resist violence" to become "oppress goodness". The organizational model can be learned and moved, but the concept will be Chen Wenqiang's.

……………

In the evening, Luo Deng entertained Chen Wenqiang, Neumann and others in his new residence on the Bund. Chen Wenqiang promised to let him mix up like a person, so he bought him this house, a two-story small building, a garden house, which can be regarded as fulfilling his promise.

From the garden, you can see the public garden and the Huangpu River outside, and Chen Wenqiang is looking at the lights of Pudong on the other side of the river, those lights suddenly disappear, and there is endless darkness in his eyes.

"It is wrong to restrain human desires. If my wife is not hungry, is that why I am hungry? "Neumann is teaching Roden badly," the great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche said, we must satisfy all our desires. So, six months after my wife was pregnant, I went up to the house on Morley Road. By the way, the house is safe, and you won't get anything dirty. ”

"Don't listen to him." Chen Wenqiang turned his face and said to Luo Deng: "You will soon return to China to get engaged to Linna, and you will bring her to Shanghai to get married, don't mess around at this time." Well, you still have to help me with some things in the United States, and I'll tell you carefully before I go. ”

"You're not a mistress yet?" Obviously dissatisfied with Chen Wenqiang's interruption, Neumann continued: "You know, I regret the freedom I lost because of marriage, the freedom to be able to live alone and live a colorful life. If you don't want to hurt anyone, why bother to restrain yourself too much? ”

Roden shook his head, "No, no, I love Lenna, I can't do that behind her back." ”

"It's one thing to marry a wife, it's another thing to find a good match!" Neumann smiled disapprovingly, and said sympathetically, "I know that you are different from me. I know that you think that your wife and each other are good, and you can't have both. You think men and women should be fair and equal, don't you? ”

Chen Wenqiang pursed his lips, looked over the public garden opposite, and saw an ocean-going cargo ship taking advantage of the high tide to go down the river. The light in the bow of the ship was sometimes obscured, and sometimes it was revealed. Where did it go, will it go to the place where it lived before it was reborn, even if it gets there by boat, it will only start over, and there will be no going back. A stunned feeling suddenly came to his heart, and Chen Wenqiang sighed softly.

"Fa, you are too good to the workers in the factory, which makes it difficult for my father-in-law's factory to do." Neumann called a name that was rarely called anymore, and there was a reproach in his tone.

Chen Wenqiang slowly turned around, stared at Neumann's eyes, and said disapprerovingly: "It's just to make less money, don't forget, I am also Chinese, of course, I must do my best to make their lives better." ”

"It's weird." Neumann's brown eyes showed a look of confusion and inquiry, "Chinese, you have been using this word. Shouldn't you say, 'I'm Chinese too'?" As far as I know, the difference between the two words is significant. ”

Chen Wenqiang was stunned for a moment, he did feel a little confused, and couldn't help frowning slightly, falling into deep thought.

Chinese, Chinese, these two titles cover different concepts, which cannot be explained by habit, but can only be subconsciously from the bottom of the heart. I see, Chen Wen somewhat understood. Although I live in this era and seem to have been completely cut off from the past, I still regard myself as a Chinese in the deepest part of my heart, rather than an authentic Chinese.
