Chapter 26: Unions and Gangsters
In the United States, although the truck driver pays well, the work is too hard, and white people are usually reluctant to do it, so a large number of minorities fill in and drive large trucks on highways across the United States.
There are Chinese, Indians, and of course Mexicans, and Lao Mo is famous in the United States for his ability to endure hardships.
So Hector can indeed kill Robbie, he only needs to ask a few Mexican-American drivers who have joined the union to inquire, he can know Robbie's life trajectory, and then let the gang members go out, whether it is a mud truck or peanuts, they can send Robbie to hell.
Hector even planned to pay for it himself, and it wouldn't cost a few Mexican drivers a few dollars, and the same would be true for the gangsters.
Mexicans who have just made it to Los Angeles are willing to do anything to make money, and Héctor can easily find such people.
But there is a problem with this, Robbie has just come out of the slaughterhouse with his front foot, and his back foot is killed, and I am afraid that everyone will doubt himself.
Fang Xiu had a way to kill Robbie, why bother using such an obvious method? So he turned down Héctor's offer and instead arranged a new assignment for him.
"Help me find out, what's inside the Los Angeles Teamsters' Union? Aside from Robbie, who else speaks effectively? ”
Of course, he can use the mind trick to confuse Robbie and get the truck driver to resume cooperation with the slaughterhouse.
But now he has just broken through the first level of Qi training, and the second layer of Qi cultivation can only take effect for a short time, and it won't be long before Robbie will once again get the workers to resist the slaughterhouse.
And it's too cheap for him to do so, Fang Xiu knows that the truck driver's resistance is just the first wave of Butz's temptation, if he is not ruthless, the ranches and retailers will soon follow.
So from the moment Robbie entered the slaughterhouse with the papers, he was dead! What Fang Xiu said, Jesus can't save him!
But how to die is also particular, secretly killing this guy is not the best way, Fang Xiu also wants to take this opportunity to control the Los Angeles Truckers Union.
Butz uses truck drivers as a breakthrough, and Fang Xiu also understands the importance of transportation to the slaughtering industry.
As long as you can control the truckers' union, then both the ranch and the retailer will have to listen to themselves.
If you are not obedient, the pasture will not be able to transport beef cattle, and you will not be able to buy feed and pasture; Retailers will not be able to replenish their stocks, and it will be up to them to see if they dare to stop working with slaughterhouses.
"Give me three hours! I'll see you in three hours! Hector immediately drove away in the car he had just bought, and went to ask the union's Mexican driver about it.
He was very efficient, and he came back in only two and a half hours, reporting his harvest to Fang Xiu, "Like other unions, there are also many gangsters behind the Los Angeles Truckers Union!" ”
"Robbie has a close relationship with the Irish Gang, and although Jimmy Hoffa has been gone for many years, the Irish still have a lot of influence in the National Truck Union, and Robbie got their support to get into union management."
"Because there are a lot of minorities coming into the U.S. to work in the trucking industry, there are also more minority gangs in the union."
"The largest number of people are the Sikh gangs from India, which are very united with each other with Sikh and ethnic ties as a bond."
"Next is the Chinese gang, and the Huaqing gang also has its own people within the trade union."
"We Mexicans also have our own gangs, and there are also different gangs like Afro-Americans, Latinos, etc."
"But these gangs are only influential at the bottom of the union, and the upper classes are still dominated by whites, and the Irish are the most influential, and the second most influential are the Jewish gangs after them!"
"Oh? Are these Jews willing to accept the rule of the Irish? Hearing this, Fang Xiu finally became interested, you must know that the era of Irish gangsters has long passed.
The history of gangsters in the United States can be divided into several phases, the first of which began with the Great Famine in Ireland in 1845.
The influx of Irish people into the United States has formed Irish gangs, and Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York" reflects on this history.
The second phase is closely related to the Prohibition of the twenties, which promoted the development of gangs.
"Atlantic Empire" clearly depicts how the gangsters of this era made their fortunes, and the rise of the Corleone family in "The Godfather" also benefited from this decree, in addition, Al Capone, Gambino, Luciano and other famous underworld tycoons also made their fortunes.
After the end of World War II, the gangs shuffled again, and the Jews rose up, replacing the Italians as gangsters throughout the United States.
In short, the Irish gangs are in decline, and now the Jews are much better than they are, and they certainly don't want to give up the truckers' union.
"The Irishman was able to hold out because Jimmy Hoffa was so powerful that even after his mysterious disappearance, the Irishman who followed him in the first place still controlled the chapters in multiple places."
"But those people were getting old, and the influence of the Irish within the union was slowly waning, so Robbie wanted to borrow other forces to maintain his position."
"I heard that he had a good relationship with Old Butz before, and it is likely that he wants to ask Old Butz to help him win the next election, and this incident must be inseparable from Old Butts."
Héctor told all the information he had heard, and the general content was similar to what Fang Xiu had guessed.
"So, who are the Jews within the union who pose the greatest threat to Robbie?" After hearing this, Fang Xiu asked, it is much more appropriate to let this person out of the horse than Héctor.
"Cohen, Lazaru Cohen, in the last election, he was ahead of Robbie in the votes at the beginning, and he was overtaken at the last minute, supposedly because of the influence that the elder Butz used."
Héctor hurriedly handed over Lazaru Cohen's information to Fang Xiu, his photo, resume, home address, and so on.
"Yes, it's too late today, you can stay here, I'll ask the chef to prepare a supper for you!" Fang Xiu accepted the information with satisfaction.
The agency had already provided him with security, drivers, cooks, and maids, and Mr. Héctor went out for dinner.
Fang Xiu began to study Lazaru Cohen's information, this guy wore glasses and looked polite, but in fact he was a ruthless character.
According to what Héctor had heard, the guy had killed several truck drivers who had not listened to his orders.
Of course, on the bright side, these drivers died in accidents.
Very suitable person, Fang Xiu was very satisfied, and then he began to summon Luke Duncan, "Don't sleep, get up and work!" ”
