Chapter 187: Ballots, Political ~ Political Guarantees
In the face of these mafia's obvious moves, Shao Chengle was happy.
Perhaps for those emerging gang bosses who are just ordinary people, it is dangerous and unreliable to go to the meeting alone and leave their subordinates outside.
However, for Shao Cheng...... It's like a joke.
Because he himself is the most terrifying existence in the entire Leon Gang...... Even otherworldly gods have hunted slain alone...... In fact, strictly speaking, even if today's Shao Cheng is compared to a demon or a god, it is almost the same.
Of course.
In the X-Men world with special abilities and superheroes, this ability is not enough to be called the strongest.
Although after investigation, Shao Cheng has basically confirmed that there is at least no such existence as superman and sentinel in this parallel universe, but as far as he knows...... World War II products like Captain America and Hydra may still exist. In New York in 1973, the era of superheroes in the United States had not yet arrived, but the supernatural forces that had existed before and after World War II were still operating in the shadows, according to the survey...... At the same time, there is also a cultivation system called 'magic' or the East in this world.
Therefore, Shao Cheng was not afraid at all at this time.
But this does not prevent him from keeping a low profile - the perfect ultimate organism that can be transformed into a giant, with the backing of Taoism, martial arts, and system space, although it is said to be more powerful than the vast majority of existences in this universe, it is not invincible after all. Being too arrogant is obviously an act of not leaving a way out for yourself.
"Just stay outside." Shao Cheng said.
Of the few people he brought with him, Monica was still the only one who knew some of his powers, and the others were obviously a little uneasy.
This is not to say that they are loyal to Leon, the incarnation of Shao Cheng. It's just that they are all smart people, and they know very well if Leon is killed...... This gang will soon be scattered, and ordinary gangs will be able to get out, but it is a big deal to continue to be their own gangsters. But those of them who have been selected as the backbone of the gang are not so easy.
Some of the gangs that were destroyed before have made a comeback, and the first one is afraid that they will be attacked!
Because of the existence of this powerful relationship, they naturally attach great importance to the safety of their boss.
However, Shao Cheng did not have the verbosity of his mother-in-law and entered the door directly.
Heavy oak doors close behind the back.
"You're Leon, who has done a lot of things in New York lately? Youngster? Before he could sit down, a middle-aged man in the room said in a slightly contemptuous tone.
Shao Cheng was happy.
Grabbing a sofa, he tugged lightly with one hand. Pull this single sofa to your side and sit down. Rhetorical question: "You are the representative of the mafia who sent me the invitation, that old guy who was famous in the past?" βγ
Famous old guys from the past?
Everyone in the room was in their hearts...... Among them, the young representative of the Corleone family, who was at odds with the representative of the Burtner family who spoke just now, couldn't help but laugh out loud!
Although not the patriarch of the Burtner family.
But as a representative of the Bertner family to discuss things, this old man of the Bertner family is definitely one of the most prominent figures in the underworld.
Now, he is being replaced by a man who has just risen. A young man who has no background is humiliated in front of him!
This immediately made him a little angry.
Maybe. The anger of ordinary people does nothing.
At most, it's a fight. It will also attract the police.
However.
If it was Bettner's wrath, it was a terrible fire that had burned even President Lincoln!
He rested on the arm of the couch, his finger with a large dark gold ring moving almost imperceptibly. But immediately. His subordinate in the room reacted, and rushed towards Shao Cheng, who was still sitting on the sofa, with a swift movement comparable to that of a cheetah!
Bangββ!
The mafia bodyguard, who was comparable to a cheetah, flew back again at a speed comparable to that of a rocket, slammed into the wall, rebounded to the ground again, and wilted.
A little bit of power was shown.
Shao Cheng sat on the sofa and didn't move, and said, "You can talk now, right?" βγ
The representatives of the five major mafia families glanced at each other in unison......
β¦β¦
So much has happened in New York this year.
Because of some special events, the political circles in the United States are turbulent, and some scandals in the entertainment industry have also occurred one after another, which has ruthlessly refreshed many people's offline.
But fortunately, at this time, the Vietnam War ended, and the social changes caused by the analgesia of the war made the tide of 'sexual liberation', along with hippies and drugs, one of the major scenes of social erosion in the United States.
At this time, young people are keen on rock, promiscuity~ sex, and drug abuse...... Constantly chasing rock bands from city to city, like locusts crossing the border.
In the name of sexuality ~ liberation, it is actually the most erosive sinking.
Politicians are busy fighting for power, and those Vietnam War veterans are not respected at all, and they will no longer be respected by the whole country after the US military won World War II.
Some people say that Americans in this era no longer love the United States.
There are also people who say that the United States in this era is not worthy of love.
But all this is beneficial and harmless for the gangsters.
After that secret conversation, the Leon gang became a New York ...... Or rather, the sixth-largest mafia family in the United States.
Although the foundation is still insufficient, Shao Cheng has begun to buy factories, farms, and companies on a large scale to open up white industries.
And the wage workers in their industries can be the "votes" that are most easily controlled by them.
With the weight of these "votes," he naturally attracted some lobbyists from both parties in the election to establish "friendship" with him.
Of course.
In the United States, it is not easy to influence the will of individuals to vote.
At least most capitalists can't do this β because there are strong unions, Americans are not stupid, and they understand that politicians want to please those who hold the votes.
How can the workers listen to the capitalists, who are naturally opposed?
Workers unite into trade unions, which have enormous influence over politicians because of their votes, and those politicians act as checks and balances on the capitalists to discourage them from greedily encroaching on the interests of ordinary people.
Although such a system has caused European and American countries to have the shortcomings of excessive wages and treatment, high welfare costs, and even a decline in national competitiveness.
But for ordinary people, this kind of life is obviously much better than having no political rights at all, relying on a good government and a good official who chooses one in a hundred to take the initiative to "pity" them.
Workers were reluctant to listen to the "advice" of the ballot.
Ordinary capitalists may only be able to reap temporary benefits by drinking the benefits of quenching their thirst.
But where can Shao Cheng, who controls the sixth largest gang in the United States, have no way?
As an example, he soon unified the "ballots" in the hands of the workers who worked for him. Tick "tick" directly after the name of the candidate with whom he traded.
In this way, the Leon gang had the initial political security. (To be continued......)
