Chapter 355: Gang Leader - Jin Peng (II)
Chairman Jin looked solemn and said in a condensed voice: "There is something strange about this. To check! Be sure to find out. Qin, later, you will mobilize your hands to find out all the information about where you have been to today, who you have met, and all the information in this power root, and then report it back to me as soon as possible. Alas, in the current situation, no matter what the wind and grass, we must not be careless. Otherwise...... I'm afraid that the period of destruction is just around the corner. ”
There is a mathematical conjecture called the "Theory of Six Degrees of Separation", also known as the Theory of the Lesser World. The content is that no one on earth, there will be no more than five people between him and another stranger. In other words, through a maximum of five intermediaries, you will be able to get to know any stranger. This theory expresses an important concept: any two people who have never known each other can always have a necessary connection or relationship in a certain way. Clearly, with differences in contact and ability to connect, there will be a clear difference in the opportunities to achieve one's expectations.
Facts have proved that this theory may not be untargeted, but it is really correct. When Chen Sheng came to Seoul, his primary goal was to find people related to the three major gangsters, including the White Lotus Sect, the Shen Gang, and the Evil Fist Dojo. And the chairman Jin in front of him is the leader of the gang - Jin Peng. Chen Sheng dealt with Kwon Geun-jung through Jessica, and then contacted Li Xiuman through Kwon Geun-chung. and then through Li Xiuman's relationship with Jinpeng. In this way, there are only three twists in between.
Jin Peng, the leader of the gang, why did he appear in SM Company and become its chairman? The reason is actually quite simple. Since the 90s, the Korean culture and entertainment industry has become more and more influential, and it has become the "Korean Wave" that has swept Asia. The commercial value of it is so high that it is simply a giant gold mine. In the face of this tempting big cake, how can the participating gangs not be tempted by it?
But to be honest, the former gang leader who first joined the gang, Jin Batian, nicknamed "Samsheng", was very disapproving of the gang's involvement in the entertainment industry. The ginseng gang is named after ginseng, and its roots lie in the cultivation and sale of ginseng. Over the years, the gang has also accumulated a lot of money because of this. He is old, conservative, and does not want to forge ahead. So I feel very satisfied with this, and I have no intention of continuing to expand in other directions.
However, Samsheng's only son, Jin Peng, that is, the young gang leader of the Gang, once went to Yale University in the United States to study and obtained an MBA (Master of Business Administration) qualification. After returning to China, Jinpeng believes that with the progress of the times, the participation in the gang should not set its own limits, but should diversify and further enhance its influence in other aspects of society. And his primary direction of expansion is the cultural and entertainment industry.
Therefore, without informing his father, Jinpeng privately used the funds in the gang to take advantage of the time when Li Xiuman was forced to leave because of commercial crimes, and became the company's largest shareholder. As a result, Fortune Wings was elected chairman of SM in the re-election of the board of directors. However, after learning about his son's behavior, he was furious, thinking that his son's behavior was nonsense, and ordered him not to live in Seoul for a long time, and he must go back to the secret headquarters of the to retreat and practice martial arts, and he must not leave unless there is a major matter. Therefore, the chairman of Jinpeng has always been in charge of the shopkeeper, and handed over the specific affairs to Li Xiuman and other professionals of SM Company.
Not so long ago, however, the situation changed dramatically. The origin is not in the gang itself, but in the White Lotus Sect.
For many years, the White Lotus Sect has been involved in the huge Asian drug market. However, this market has always been monopolized by the Japanese Rakshasa religion. Therefore, the White Lotus Sect and the Rakshasa Sect, the two sects are constantly fighting with each other, and they both want to get rid of each other as soon as possible. Not long ago, the Rakshasa Sect Leader Huoyun Evil God set up a bureau in Macau to lure the White Lotus Sect Leader Dongfang Invincible into an ambush. The two sides tried their best, both wits and courage, and in the end the two sides lost both sides and ended in a draw.
The White Lotus Sect is known as the number one powerful force in Korea, but the members of the sect have their own thoughts, and not everyone is loyal to the Sect Leader Dongfang Invincible. On the contrary, there is an undercurrent surging within the church, and there are many people who want to do wrong. Over the years, Dongfang Invincible has had the intention to eliminate the accumulated shortcomings, but the personnel relationship within the sect is too complicated, and it will affect the whole body, although Dongfang Invincible is the sect leader, he does not dare to act rashly.
This duel with the Huoyun Evil God happened to be a great opportunity for Dongfang Invincible to clear the accumulated evils in the sect. After the decisive battle with the Fire Cloud Evil God, Dongfang Invincible was seriously injured, and his injuries were difficult to heal, and his martial arts were lost. In this way, all kinds of plotters have surfaced one after another, so that they can be caught all in one go.
One of the people who was successfully lured by the evil fetus was none other than the Silver Saint Elder, one of the four elders of the White Lotus Sect. In order to achieve his goal, he did not hesitate to betray the White Lotus Sect, cooperate with the Shenbang, and join forces with the Shensheng.
The participation in the gang was originally the number one force in South Korea, but it was later robbed of most of the country by the White Lotus Sect. Over the years, Shensheng has never forgotten to annihilate the White Lotus Sect and regain the leading position in the underworld. Therefore, even if he knew that the silver saint had bad intentions, he did not hesitate to seek skin with the tiger. The two joined forces, and the first person they had to deal with was the Moon Saint Envoy, who was the most loyal to the Invincible in the East in the White Lotus Sect. Unexpectedly, this is the invincible plan of the East. The silver saint himself died an unknown death, and the saint was captured alive and became a prisoner under the stairs.
His father was missing, and Jin Peng was naturally anxious. So he found Wang Xiaohu, the big boss of Longhumen, and asked to go to save people together. Wang Xiaohu's father, Wang Fuhu, is the Moon Holy Envoy of the White Lotus Sect. After a big battle that day, the Moon Holy Envoy also didn't know life and death, so Wang Xiaohu naturally agreed to cooperate with Jinpeng and bravely entered the headquarters of the White Lotus Sect together. But because of this, he was involved in the internal strife of the White Lotus Sect.
The invincible plan of the East to lure the snake out of the hole is not only a traitor in the White Lotus Sect, but also wants to lure the Huoyun Evil God over, and annihilate this long-cherished enemy in one fell swoop with the help of geographical advantages. But when he reached the end of the day, it was not the Huoyun Evil God who came, but the father of the Huoyun Evil God, the old evil god of the Rakshasa Sect. After a dragon fight, the old evil god was invincible in the East because of the attack of old injuries. But the Thai Tongtian Sect intervened and kidnapped the old evil god.
Although Dongfang Invincible failed to solve the external worries as expected, it also successfully swept away the internal troubles. After several setbacks, Jinpeng was never able to rescue his father. Dongfang Invincible did not rush to kill everything, but made a condition to let Jinpeng pay a ransom of two billion dollars to redeem Shensheng.
Jin Peng had no choice but to grit his teeth and agree to the conditions, hand over half of the assets of the gang, and finally took his father back. But after this battle, Samsheng was gouged out of his eyes, his tongue was cut off, and his hands and tendons were broken, and he became a wasted person, so he naturally could no longer serve as a helper. As a result, everyone in the gang unanimously supported Jin Peng to take over the position of gang leader, hoping that he could lead the gang out of the trough and create brilliance.
During the reign of the Holy Saint, because of his scruples about the White Lotus Sect, he acted secretively and kept a low-key style. All the industries are handled by professional managers, and the middle and high masters of the gang are hidden in the secret headquarters under the Seorak Mountain in South Korea, and they are not allowed to go out. But now, Jinpeng believes that this kind of secrecy is no longer suitable for the new era. Anyway, the White Lotus Sect had just experienced a civil strife, and now it was in ruins. The invincible primary enemy of the East should be the Rakshasa Sect, and he can't care about killing the Gang out. Therefore, Jin Peng changed his father's style when he was in power, and his participation in the gang changed from dark to light, with great fanfare, and acted openly.
In addition to the traditional ginseng planting and sales, the ginseng gang has expanded its business scope and taken the initiative in many industries such as aquaculture, catering, and real estate. The cultural and entertainment industry was very optimistic about Jinpeng before, and now it will not give up. This is the reason why he appeared here at SM Company to reclaim the power that he was forced to give up before.
Why does Fortune Wings do this? The reason is simple, he needs money. As the saying goes, money makes the devil grind. In modern society, having money is not everything, and without money it is absolutely impossible. Martial arts masters are also people, and they also have to eat and dress, and they also have relatives and subordinates to take care of. What's more, practicing martial arts is not just for the sake of living with green vegetables and tofu every day. Wine and beauty, delicacies of the mountains and seas, luxury residences, sports cars, yachts, horse racing...... All kinds of luxuries, that don't cost money? Therefore, if you want to defeat the White Lotus Sect and revive the Ginseng Gang, you must have money. And it has to be a lot, a lot of money. If you have money, you can recruit more masters to join, and the more masters you have, the stronger you are, and the stronger you are, the more money you can make. It's a virtuous circle.
Looking back, why has the White Lotus Sect been unable to gain the upper hand in the confrontation with the Rakshasa Sect? It's not because the invincible martial arts cultivation of the East is inferior to the Huoyun Evil God, but just because the White Lotus Sect is not as rich as the Rakshasa Sect. Although it is known as the largest gang in South Korea, the White Lotus Sect has a big business and a large expense. In particular, the previous gang leaders are not good at management, so this first big gang is not strong in the middle, in fact, the assets are not as good as the gang.
On the other hand, the Rakshasa cult has been able to make a lot of money by monopolizing the drug market in Asia, and the annual income is astronomical. With this as a backing, although the Rakshasa Sect has repeatedly lost troops in previous wars with the Dragon Tiger Gate, it has been able to replenish in time every time, recruiting stronger masters to join, and its strength has increased instead of decreasing.
I think that at the beginning, the masters of the Rakshasa Sect were "one god, two demons, three evil stars, four ghosts, five monsters and six knights", plus the three protectors of "gold, silver and bronze". These masters were almost completely lost in the battle with the Dragon Tiger Gate. The two demons died and rebelled, the three evil stars were all destroyed, the four ghosts were all destroyed, the five monsters were all destroyed, and the six knights were all destroyed. Among the three protectors, the Golden Arhat surrendered to the White Lotus Sect, and the two protectors of the Silver Eagle and the Bronze Lion died in battle.
