Chapter 346: Gang Secrets
A phone call came, and in less than half an hour, Du Yuesheng came.
After he saw Qin Di, he smiled very kindly: "Mr. Qin, you and I have a life-saving grace, what else are you talking about casino dividends? I'm ready to give up the income here!"
Qin Di said: "That's not good, my brother will settle the accounts, today we will open the safe and see how much we can gain." β
They opened a row of safes, which were piled up mainly with gold and silver, dollars and pounds.
Because Qin Di had already confessed, he had to exchange the fiat currency and military tickets in time. Although the Japanese army banned the circulation of foreign currency and gold and silver, these Qinggang disciples had various ways to exchange them. For example, after 1943, the Japanese blockade was not very strict.
After some counting, Phoenix has earned a total of $3.2 million, Β£1.3 million, plus 34,000 taels of gold, and some silver. But this gold is equivalent to $1.2 million.
Qin Di naturally didn't take this little money in his eyes, but in the eyes of Qin Yuankong and Qin Yuanlong, it was a huge amount of wealth.
Du Yuesheng also seemed very excited, because Sanqi was open, and he was also very considerable to take 30%.
Qin Di said: "Boss Du, let me tell you the truth, this casino can be open for two or three years at most." And then I couldn't drive it anymore. β
Du Yuesheng was a little surprised: "Ah? Are you saying that the government does not allow us to open a casino?"
"Yes, in two or three years, the political situation will change dramatically. I have already asked someone to build a bigger and more luxurious casino in Macau, would Boss Du like to participate in it?"
"This, I lack connections in Macau!"
"If you wish, you can send 30 disciples to follow my two nephews, and I will leave you twenty percent of the shares in addition to the salary. β
"When do you leave? I have a lot of people under me, but I have to be very selective. Lest you miss your great things. β
"It's still early, it's going to take at least a year and a half before the casino over there is built. β
"That's fine, you'll let me know when the time comes. β
Because of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Du Yuesheng is also considered meritorious, so the status of the Green Gang has risen, the original three tycoons of the Green Gang, the Golden Banyan is too old, and he pretended to be crazy and stupid for a while, so the disciples below thought he was stupid; Zhang Xiaolin was assassinated, and Du Yuesheng was left to support the beam. There are tens of thousands of disciples under him, but they are mainly concentrated around the demon capital. If he gets to the south, he won't have much power.
However, since Du Yuesheng has someone and Qin Di has money, the combination of the two is still promising.
As for Qin Yuanlong and Qin Yuankong, these two brothers didn't want to leave the magic capital, but the situation was stronger than people, and when the time came, as soon as Phoenix City closed, they could only go to Macau.
Subsequently, Qin Di asked Du Yuesheng to go to the top floor of Phoenix City to talk.
Qin Di asked, "Boss Du, how much do you know about gangs in Hong Kong?"
"The mainstream of gangs in Hong Kong is called the "triad". The "Triad", also known as the "Hongmen Triad", was a branch of the Tiandihui Society, an anti-Qing organization founded in 1760. In 1909, in order to reconcile the contradictions between the gangs, the head of the Hong Kong Volunteer Church, Hei Guren, came forward to convene the first Hongmen Conference in Hong Kong, and later decided to add the word "harmony" in front of each hall, indicating that harmony should be valued among the gangs. The result is a triad that is both independent and interconnected. There are more than 30 churches in the Hezitou Gang, and their activities cover the entire Hong Kong and Kowloon regions, among which Heshenghe, Heanle, and Hehetu are the most active. β
Qin Di said: "So, the Green Gang and the Triad are also related?"
Du Yuesheng smiled: "That's natural, Hongmen was founded in the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, and the Qing Gang was founded in the Yongzheng period of the Qing Dynasty. The relationship between Hongmen and the Qing Gang began to break down when the Qing Gang was recruited by the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and the purpose of the Hongmen and Tiandihui was to "oppose the Qing Dynasty and restore the Ming Dynasty", and the Qing Gang was regarded as a betrayer and had been suppressed. β
"Does Boss Du know the leader of the triad?"
"One of my protΓ©gΓ©s, named 'Li Jufa', is currently very powerful in the triad.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Li Jiefa took a group of brothers and went to Hong Kong with a wealthy businessman who fled for his life. He used money to get through his connections, and after a year and a half, he became a well-known figure in Hong Kong.
In 1938, Wang Xinheng, head of the Hong Kong District of the Military Command Bureau, recruited Li Jufa's Youth Gang brothers, asking them to help the government maintain order, help Chongqing collect intelligence, and help rescue anti-Japanese people.
In 1941, Hong Kong fell. After the Japanese came to Hong Kong, they were very interested in Li Jufa, who had some connections and background, and they approached Li Jufa to discuss cooperation.
Li Jufa was very loyal to me, he contacted me as soon as possible, and I introduced him to Dai Li, who made a plan and let Li Jufa insert himself into the Japanese.
Since then, Li has rescued more than 100 anti-Japanese people in Hong Kong, including Mr. Sun's original wife Lu Muzhen, who has made contributions to the anti-Japanese resistance.
Li Jufa saved too many people, which aroused the suspicion of the Japanese, and they planned to arrest Li Jufa, Li Jufa escaped overnight, and when the halfway travel expenses were spent, I remitted 20,000 oceans to him.
After arriving in Chongqing. Li Jufa was arrested by the Chongqing side, and I tried every means to correct his name and keep him safe.
Now that the Anti-Japanese War has been won, he has returned to Hong Kong and become a big man in the triad.
Mr. Qin, if you are short of manpower, I will write you a letter and let Li Jufa serve you......"
Qin Di nodded: "Okay, I need such a letter." Boss Du, you also know that with my skills, sweeping the triad is like picking up things, but it is easy to break an old world, but it is difficult to build a new world. I don't want to get involved in the gang myself, so I need a few people who can do the work. β
Du Yuesheng said with a smile: "Mr. Qin, you have the Tianyin token of the Qing Gang, and you can dispatch the disciples of the Qing Gang. I'll give you a list of the members of the Youth Gang's activities in Hong Kong and Macau. Just let them know who you need. This Li Judge will also listen to your scheduling. β
Just imagine, with Qin Di's wealth and force, coupled with the Tianyin Token in his hand, it is not difficult to gather a group of people and then overthrow the triad. He didn't even need to take action in person, as long as he gave an order to his disciple Du Rong, he could kill the disobedient leader.
"Boss Du, how is your health?"
"Haha, thank you Mr. Qin, since you slapped me on the back last time, I have always felt a warm current, hovering between my chest and lungs, breathing has become very smooth, not to mention how comfortable the whole person is. As far as I can see, you were right before, I probably have a few more years to live. β
Qin Di smiled slightly and said, "Originally, your yang life was not much, I took action last time to help you extend your lifespan, but you still have to maintain it more." β
Du Yuesheng sighed: "When I was four years old, my parents died, I grew up with my stepmother and uncle, and I lived a hard life in my early years, and I wore thin clothes, so I fell into the problem of asthma. β
