Chapter 35 Dongxing Chamber of Commerce

'Smack~'
The latest Kodak wooden pocket camera perpetuates the 'great' figure of Chinatown Sheriff David Pinkerman.
He stepped on the corpse of the bandit leader Joe Perry, raised a gun in one hand, and smiled as 'justice'.
It didn't take long for his photographs to appear in major newspapers in New York and even on the East Coast.
For him, this is a show, and at the same time he earns 10,000 dollars, there is no better deal than this.
Li Yaoyang looked at the Kodak camera he was holding and fell into thought, how much money did he contribute to this latest handheld camera?
Previously, handheld cameras could only be focused visually.
But it was the world's first camera equipped with a linkage distance meter.
The distance meter is triangulated using a mirror, mounted on the base of the front panel, and the right side is used to adjust the forward and backward position of the lens while framing to achieve focus.
The most important thing is that the price is as high as 80 dollars, which is definitely comparable to the existence of luxury goods in this era.
Not long after it was listed, it appeared here, which is enough to show that David Pinkman is a person who keeps up with fashion trends and has the money to meet his pursuits.
After he finished shooting a whole roll of film, Li Yaoyang retracted his thoughts, clapped his hands and stepped forward to congratulate:
"Congratulations, Mr. Pinkerman is worthy of being the patron saint of Chinatown and has made indelible contributions to the safety of the lives and property of Chinatown residents!"
David happily hugged him, turned his head and commanded his subordinates:
"I like this sentence, write it down, go back to the reporter, you have to use it for me!"
The subordinate stood up: "Yes! β
"Dear Lee, from today onwards, you are my closest friend, and the door of my office will always be open to you~"
"My pleasure, Mr. Pinkerman~"
"David, call me David!"
Li Yaoyang spread out his hand: "Okay, David, I have to trouble your colleagues to help me clean up the scene, and I have to live in someone~"
"Of course, it is our obligation to help the victim~"
Turned around and scolded:
"Did you hear that? Hurry up and clean up, 1 hour, I want to see this place back to normal! β
"Yes!"
I have to say that the military discipline in the sheriff's office is still very strict, and in a word, everyone starts moving like clockwork.
The two came to the gate, lit a cigarette, and looked at the crowd gathered around, and David said meaningfully:
"Look, they're terrified, and they must be discussing what just happened."
"Hehe~ Maybe, gossip is human nature, and there is nothing to blame~"
Li Yaoyang's body is not adapted to the erosion of tobacco, but what has just happened is really too hasty.
Although there was no physiological response at the first time, when the adrenaline subsided, the heart was still pounding, like a bell exploding in the heart.
βduang~duang~duang~β
The fingers holding the cigarette shook slightly, and the frequency was so low that no one knew it except himself.
At this time, only nicotine can calm him down quickly.
With a cigarette in his mouth, David Pinkman patted him on the shoulder, ready to get in the car and leave, and his show was over.
"There is time to eat together~"
"Good~"
βββββββββββββ
In the temporary warehouse, the three brothers of the Mei family were maintaining their guns, and when they saw Li Yaoyang coming in, they hurriedly got up to greet them.
"Brother Yang~"
"Hmm~ I'll come over and take a look, it should be fine tonight, you guys go home early."
"Okay, let's put the gun away and go back~" Xiao Er responded.
"You take this money, you keep a low profile for the next period of time, wait for the wind to pass, go to work in the tavern, and get paid monthly."
Li Yaoyang gave them 3,000 dollars, plus the 2,000 dollars given last time, and 5,000 dollars before and after, which is by no means a small amount in this era.
Xiao Er was so frightened that he refused again and again:
"It's too much Brother Yang, we can't accept it~"
This matter was not negotiable, Li Yaoyang resolutely stuffed the money into his trouser pocket:
"Your family of six eats, the old man needs to take medicine, and the younger sister needs to supplement nutrition, all of them need money, collect it, don't be polite to me!"
Li Yaoyang has a rod scale in his heart, and he knows when to give money and how much to give.
"This..."
Xiao Wu spoke:
"Brother Yang will take it for us, and we will repay this kindness with our lives!"
The personalities of the three brothers are actually very different, but in front of Li Yaoyang, they rarely express themselves.
Xiao Er practices his fists and feet, his sex is like fire, don't look at his age, but he is the most likely to lose control.
In these two missions, he was the one who rushed in front of the whole team, on the one hand, to protect his younger brother, and on the other hand, it was also caused by his character.
Xiao Wu plays with knives and guns, and his heart is as cold as metal, and he is relatively more calm, more like the Dinghai God Needle in the three brothers.
Xiao Qi has been cultivated by his father since he was a child, his temperament is like water, and women are made of water, so he naturally has the 'gentleness' of water.
Of course, this is not to say that he is not a man, but his personality is very easy-going and lively, and he can tolerate all things.
The three brothers have their own strengths and very different personalities, but in front of Li Yaoyang, they will only behave like a foolish and loyal subordinate, let them do whatever they want, without any complaints, which is also the common feature of people in the rivers and lakes, admitting death.
Once they identify the things and people, they will stick to it.
Don't look at them and haven't read any books, but their understanding of the word righteousness is far deeper than that of your Ph.D. or postdoctorate.
Xiao Wuyi made up his mind, and finally accepted Li Yaoyang's 'gift'.
Of course, Li Yaoyang didn't think that the money was given to them for free, since it was given, it means that they are worth it!
Instructed them to lock the warehouse, Li Yaoyang left first and went straight to Guangjitang.
The blind old man was frightened a lot today, and he didn't know what the situation was at this time.
What he never expected was that the old man had nothing to do.
Not only did he not have the mental malaise he imagined, but he even warmed a pot of rice wine with Lao Yao, and drank peanuts and rice.
On the contrary, it was the fat dun'er, who waited on the side with a bitter face, and made him depressed.
"The sun is back? Come, let's have a sip together? β
It's only a lot of work, and Lao Yao is already on top.
"I don't drink, you two continue~"
He gave Fat Dun'er a look, and the two came to the side, and Li Yaoyang said to them:
"What's the situation?"
"Don't mention it, I thought the old man was quite frightened, worried that he would be tired, and carried people back all the way.
As a result, as soon as he arrived at the place, he immediately became energetic and beckoned my master to come down and drink, and I looked stupid! β
Li Yaoyang couldn't cry or laugh, this old man, what are you doing?
"By the way, after we leave, that David Pinkman won't be difficult for you, right?" Fat Dun'er said with concern.
"Don't worry, I've taken care of everything, and he will be our partner in the future, and this time it's a blessing in disguise."
"Why do I think that person is unreliable?"
"Believe me, people who love money are the most reliable, because everything can be traded with money." Li Yaoyang has something to say.
Fat Dun'er is very smart, a little thorough, but he usually doesn't like to use his brain, in his words, the problem that can be solved with his hands, why use his brain?
The words are not rough, and Li Yaoyang did not refute it, let him go.
"So, we also cleared our hands on the previous case?"
"What case? Have we ever committed a crime? Li Yaoyang asked him pretendedly.
Fat Dun'er touched the back of his head and sneered:
"No, of course not!"
Glancing at him, he whispered:
"But this is an opportunity, if you die a Joe Perry, Atlantic City will have one less force."
"You want to replace it?" Fat Dun'er reacted immediately.
Look, what are you talking about? This guy has a thief in his brain, but he doesn't like to use it.
"Hmm~ But we don't have enough manpower, so we can only come step by step, but we have to go to Atlantic City sooner or later, where there is a dock to Europa!"
"What do you need me to do?"
Li Yaoyang touched his chin and said:
"Will you brag?"
"What?" Fat Dun'er didn't react.
"Bragging! Big talk, will it? β
"Eh~ You asked me coldly, I really don't know how to answer, this is human, right?"
"Hehe~ You take the time to go and blow us to death, the purpose is not to make people believe, but to know that there is a group of us!"
Li Yaoyang pointed out a few words, and Fat Dun'er was thoughtful.
After a long time, he slapped his thigh:
"Is this an advertisement?"
Hehe, Li Yaoyang nodded at him in the void:
"Clever! The aroma of wine is also afraid of deep alleys!
Even if we don't get involved in the power struggle in Atlantic City now, we must at least let the people over there know that there are our people in the Big Apple, in Manhattan, in Chinatown, and in the Lower East.
If they want to find someone to bulk cargo, they have to have a destination, right? β
Fat Dun'er smiled sheepishly:
"Don't worry, I promise to blow you into the sky! Let them be terrified when they hear your name! β
Li Yaoyang slapped it and said angrily:
"Let you read more books, you don't have a good day for a day, is this how you use it?"
'Eh~' Fat Dun'er covered his head and rubbed his mission, Li Yaoyang's slap didn't leave his hand.
"How do you use that?" Fat Dun'er asked pitifully.
"Uh..."
Li Yaoyang hesitated, theoretically there was nothing wrong with this sentence, but he always felt awkward.
I didn't give a reasonable explanation for a long time, so I simply used the boss's privilege to fool the past.
"Anyway, don't mess around, it's not a ghost, and it's not me, it's us!"
Fat Dun'er's heart is not ordinarily big, and he didn't pursue it, so he nodded again and again in agreement:
"That's right! We~"
Paused: "But we have to have a good name, right?" β
This suggestion is good, Li Yaoyang pinched his chin and thought about it for a long time, and finally, a name came to mind - Dongxing.
"Dongxing?" Chubby didn't bother to use his precious brain cells.
"Hmm~ Dongxing Chamber of Commerce! It means that we are prosperous and prosperous on the east coast, and we also think that our group of Orientals who have come from afar have revitalized and prospered in the west. β
Fat Dun'er pressed his fist and shouted excitedly:
"Good! It's called Dongxing! β
may be too excited, his voice is a little loud, which scared the two old men who were drinking, and took a good cup of rice wine, sprinkled all over his body.
Lao Yaohu scolded with a face:
"Uncle Xing, shut up Lao Tzu, and then disturb Lao Tzu's interest, I want you to look good!"
The fat dun shrank his neck, and his momentum was completely lost.
Who would have thought that the name that countless overseas Chinese would be proud of in the future would be so disliked at the beginning of its birth.
