Chapter 361 "You have the guts, but what about the ability?"
Similar to Hong Kong Island in later generations, in this turbulent and turbulent era, Hi Bang sprung up like mushrooms on the land of Shanghai.
It's just that the difference between the two is that one is that the local government wants to manage it but can't manage it, and the other doesn't want to manage it at all.
Today's Shanghai Tang Hi Gang, the most powerful tycoons are firmly established in the concession.
They hold great power, have a lot of money, and even have inextricable links with some powerful people, and with their strong background and strength, they act recklessly in Shanghai, and no one dares to provoke them.
And those who are slightly weaker in the Hi Gang, they have to choose to retreat to the civilian area, although these guys are numerous, but the power is relatively scattered, although it is difficult to compete with those big Hi Gangs, but in their respective territories are also rampant, bullying and dominating the market, which can be called the overlord of the beggars.
[Rongshun Pavilion], also known as [Lao Rongshun], as the largest hotel in the 16 shops, although it is not as famous as the Pujiang Hotel and the Peace Hotel in the concession, it is a rare time-honored brand in Shanghai, founded in the first year of Guangxu in the Qing Dynasty, and is characterized by operating local dishes in Shanghai.
Whenever there is anything to negotiate and set up a table, the local Hi Gang people will almost always set the location here, in other words, this is equivalent to the "backbone" of Shanghai Tang.
At this time, in the box on the second floor of the hotel, almost all the gang bosses in the east of the city, including the 16th shop, gathered here, and the atmosphere was extremely heavy.
They sat around a large round table, each with an impatient look on their faces, as if waiting for something important.
On the table, a dozen delicate tea bowls were neatly arranged, but there was no fluctuation in the tea, it was obvious that they had been left out for a long time, and the air around them seemed to have frozen, only the occasional whispered conversation and smoky cigarettes broke the silence.
"Huang Dagang"
A middle-aged man on the seat, dressed in a black ordinary robe, but with delicate gold patterns embroidered on the collar and cuffs, slowly asked the person opposite, "Your territory is closest to the Black Tiger Gang, didn't you hear the slightest movement when the Black Tiger Gang was destroyed today?" ”
"No", the man on the opposite side was wearing a short shirt, his sturdy muscles were covered with centipede-like scars, he looked extremely strong, and he replied with a slight gaze: "The Axe Gang, including their gang leader Zheng Jirong, there are a few people this time, and there are so many people in the Sixteenth Shop, how can I know the movements of such a few people." ”
"Hehe", the man smiled and said: "The Axe Gang is menacing this time, the Black Tiger Gang is not to mention the Four Tigers, even Lei Gong was beaten to death, I heard that the cervical vertebrae were pulled out alive!" Dagang, you have to be careful, look at this battle, a Black Tiger Gang may not be able to satisfy his appetite, remember to bring a few more gunmen when you go out in the future. ”
"Yes, just look at the ferocious and violent methods of the new gang leader of the Axe Gang, it is obviously not a good match, maybe it is also a Chen Chen-style character, Dagang, you really have to pay attention"
“.”
Seeing the gloating appearance of these guys, Huang Dagang couldn't help but snort coldly: "Aren't you happy too early, if that Zheng Jirong just ate the Black Tiger Gang in the morning, it stands to reason that he should shrink his forces at this time and accept Lei Gong's territory and property safely, but he unusually asked the master to distribute invitations from door to door, inviting us to come to the restaurant for a banquet, don't you think it's strange?" ”
"What's so strange about it, it's nothing more than worshipping the docks."
A person at the table said nonchalantly: "Today is different from the past, now the axe gang has three or two big cats and kittens, do you still think it was when Wang Yaqiao was in charge?" ”
"That's right, if the Axe Gang really has the strength, this time it won't be their gang leader who will personally lead the team, just send dozens of gunners out at will?"
"Fuck me!"
When Huang Dagang heard this, he slapped the table directly and scolded: "Dozens of gunmen? People are hi gang, you think it's a warlord! ”
He then pointed at these guys and shouted, "Let me tell you, when Lei Gong died, Gu Zhuxuan was also at the scene, and even he couldn't persuade Zheng Jirong, why do you think he would come to worship your dock?" Just because you're old?! ”
Hearing his words, everyone at the table couldn't help but look at Huang Dagang angrily, they are all old rivers and lakes that have been in Shanghai for decades, although the gang is not very powerful, but the seniority in the rivers and lakes is extremely high, and the juniors of the Hi Gang have never dared to talk to them like this.
"Da Gang, what are you doing so angry?"
The middle-aged man in the long shirt who was the first to speak before spoke again: "As long as I Wei Tingyan is here, the sky of the sixteenth shop will not fall." ”
"Huh", Huang Dagang directly retorted after hearing it: "Boss Wei, you are now the general office of the [Public Board of Directors], and you still have the leisure to take care of our mud-legged affairs?" ”
"Hahaha", Wei Tingyan shook his head and smiled: "I made my fortune in the sixteenth shop, and the reason why the directors are willing to hand over the position of the general office to me is nothing more than to value my influence in the sixteenth shop, believe me"
He then smiled and said with a serious expression: "I don't want the sixteenth shop to be chaotic than any of you, the sixteenth shop has never been anyone, but the sixteenth shop of all of us, the rules here have been set for more than ten years, even if Zhang Wanlin and Lu Yuesheng's hands don't dare to stick in casually, if this Zheng Jirong doesn't know how to lift."
Wei Tingyan raised his eyes to look at everyone, and said fiercely: "I will personally deal with him!" ”
As soon as these words came out, everyone in the box glanced at each other, and each of them looked much lighter than just now.
At this time, on the road outside the hotel, a Buick four-door six-cylinder luxury car was slowly driving towards this side.
It was not someone else in the car, it was Zheng Jirong who came all the way from Zhabei.
He originally drove a very ordinary Ford T-shaped car, but Bai Xiuzhu felt that the car was too old-fashioned, not only slow to drive but also shaking, so he specially sent someone to send a few of the most popular luxury cars at the moment, in addition to this Buick, there was also a Cadillac and Plymouth parked in the garage of his nightclub.
The total value is more than 20,000 oceans!
The worst thing he is at is rejecting the kindness of others, especially since the gift to him is a very beautiful woman, so he can only reluctantly accept these things.
"When you get to Brother Rong, will you go down now?"
"Don't worry", Zheng Jirong shook the cigar in his hand at Peng Yixing in the rearview mirror, "At least wait until I finish my cigarette." ”
Peng Yixing nodded, and then asked, "Am I waiting for you in the car or accompanying Brother Rong to go up with you?" ”
"What's wrong?"
"No, I'm worried that these guys will drop bombs in the car while we're away."
"Grass", Zheng Jirong smiled dumbly: "Do you want to go home and see what year it is on the calendar and set off the bomb?" How can there be such high-end technology these days! ”
"That's right."
Peng Yixing smiled, and when he wanted to say something more, he suddenly saw a long-haired man walking briskly towards them.
Just as he was about to draw his gun, Zheng Jirong suddenly spoke: "Wait, let's see who is talking." ”
Knock knock!
The man walked over to the car, looked down at the inside of the car, and knocked on the window of the back seat.
Zheng Jirong slowly shook down the glass and asked him, "Is there something wrong?" ”
"Excuse me, is it Mr. Zheng, the leader of the Axe Gang?"
"That's right."
"Great, I waited for hours to finally catch up!"
The man immediately arched his hand and said with a serious face: "Gang Master Zheng!" I'm going to join the Axe Gang! ”
“.”
Zheng Jirong glanced at him a few times when he heard this, he looked quite handsome, and he had such a good face, and he was also a plot character nine times out of ten.
He smiled and said to Peng Yixing in front of him, "Ah Xing, give him a piece of ocean." ”
"Huh?! Helper, what are you doing", the man hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'm here to join the Axe Gang, not to ask you for food." ”
"Alright, take it."
Zheng Jirong flew the ocean bomb in front of him, "You have the patience to wait for me here, and you have the courage to come and knock on my car window, this piece of ocean will be regarded as your lost work fee." ”
"Thank you for that!"
I didn't expect to join the Axe Gang so easily, the man clenched the ocean in his hand, and the joy in his expression was overflowing.
"That's right", Zheng Jirong then asked curiously, "How did you know that I was coming here tonight." ”
"Oh, listen to my neighbor," the man explained, "My neighbor is a worker who works on the docks of the Black Tiger Gang, and when he came back from work in the evening, he told me all the things that the gang leader said on the docks, and my blood boiled when I heard it!" It's a pity that I was working on another dock at the time, otherwise I would have to be the first to join the Axe Gang! ”
"Hahaha, I see."
Zheng Jirong nodded with satisfaction, it seems that the effect of his mouth escape is not ordinarily good, and in order to join the Axe Gang, he even has someone who stops his car.
"Okay, you go back and take this money to take care of yourself, come to see me tomorrow in Sanjutian, remember to wear a little support."
After speaking, Zheng Jirong was about to get out of the car and enter the hotel, those guys had been waiting for him for so long, and now he was probably slapping the table and glaring anxiously.
"Wait!" The man suddenly stopped in front of Zheng Jirong and said seriously to him: "In addition to joining the Axe Gang, I came here to have one more thing, no, it's a big business to talk to you about!" ”
"Big business?"
Zheng Jirong bit his cigar and looked down at the kid, put his arm on his shoulder and said: "When it comes to gambling, I have more casinos than the market; brothels, nine out of ten in Zhabei are mine; Talking about tooth tablets, if I want to do it, Lu Yuesheng has to look at my face to eat. ”
"You're saying you have big business to talk to me about now, are you sure you're not entertaining me?"
"It's not!"
The man shook his head heavily, and said seriously: "There are countless Hi Gangs in the Sixteenth Shop, although the Black Tiger Gang is the most powerful of them, but in addition to them, there are also many gangs rooted here, and several of them are not even much worse than the Black Tiger Gang. ”
"Based on what you said on the docks before, I'm sure that the target of our Axe Gang is not just the Black Tiger Gang, but the entire Sixteenth Shop!"
"Interesting", Zheng Jirong said with the corners of his mouth raised when he heard this: "Go on." ”
The man continued to look excited: "As far as I know, there are at least three gangs in the Sixteenth Shop whose strength is not weaker than that of the Black Tiger Gang, and I believe that sooner or later, you will step into it and eat them." ”
"But then again, with your status as the helper, how can you come forward in person for this kind of thing?"
"So. I'll bring someone to help you play as a striker! ”
After listening to his words, Zheng Jirong exhaled a puff of smoke and did not answer him directly, but asked lightly: "Do you have your own hands?" ”
"Yes!"
The man nodded, "I've been on the docks for a few months, and I've made a lot of brothers, although there aren't as many of them as they are, but none of them are good breeders, all of them are good hands!" ”
Zheng Jirong smiled noncommittally, looked at him and asked, "You have the guts, but what about the ability?" ”
"How can I believe that you and your brothers can get rid of the other Hi Gangs?"
Hearing his words, the man directly raised his hand and slapped it twice, and after hearing the sound, two men in the corner of the street each ran over with a burlap bag.
"Helper, please see", he carried a sack in one hand, and opened the mouth of the bag to Zheng Jirong, "You sent a total of fourteen invitations tonight, of which only eleven went to the appointment on time, and the heads of the three families who didn't come, including the core figures of their gang, are all here!" ”
Looking at the dead heads in the sack, Zheng Jirong took a deep breath of his cigar, pointed to the man opposite, shook his head and laughed.
Just when the man looked nervous, he patted the kid on the shoulder and smiled, "Come, tell me what you want." ”
After the man was silent for a while, he raised his head and said seriously: "Someone told me before that if you want to live a good life these days, you can only be brave and ruthless and greedy. ”
"If I can do it, I hope you can leave the sixteenth shop to me to take care of! I promise that the money that should be handed over will definitely be a lot of money for you! ”
Looking at this kid's fierce and decisive eyes, Zheng Jirong couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly, "You are indeed very bold. ”
"When my mother gave birth to me, she didn't leave me anything but this gall", the man grinned: "As long as you believe me, the Sixteenth Shop will be the backyard of our Axe Gang in the future!" ”
"Good! What I admire most is a young man like you who dare to fight, go back and tell your brothers to be ready and wait for my news at any time. ”
After speaking, he walked directly into the hotel, the man clenched his fists excitedly, and asked him, "Helper, how long will you wait!" ”
After hearing this, Zheng Jirong looked up at the second floor of the hotel and said lightly: "Probably. A meal of effort. ”
"Got it!"
"That's right", Zheng Jirong turned his head to look at him at this time and shouted: "After talking for a long time, I still don't know what your boy's name is." ”
"Hahahaha", the man laughed and replied: "My name is Ma Yongzhen!" ”
After speaking, he waved his hand and led the two brothers out of the hotel quickly, looking at the cheerful back of this guy, Zheng Jirong was stunned, and then shook his head dumbly.
