Chapter 22: Black and White · A 100-year history of Korean gangsters
Wang Taika ate leisurely and said, "I didn't bother you!"
Li Qingmo sighed and stood up: "It's almost eaten, let's go, let's talk." ”
"Let's talk here, where else do you want to change?" Wang Taika finished eating the last piece of meat, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and said, "The taste is light, I don't like it a little." ”
Li Qingmo admired Wang Taika's good appetite at any time, and said: "It's not suitable to talk about things here, and I also want you to see something." ”
"Huh?" Wang Taika was aroused, stood up and followed Li Qingmo out.
Wang Taika followed Li Qingmo outside, and the weather suddenly became a little gloomy at this time. This season's day in Seoul is like this, it can change when you say it.
Wang Taika looked at Li Qingmo and asked, "Where are you going?"
"It's not far, let's talk as we walk. Li Qingmo said: "Science has proved that thinking while walking will help solve difficult problems." ”
Wang Taika followed: "It just so happens that I also know this scientific proof." But let's not talk nonsense, since I am standing in front of you, it means that I have decided to join this XB Entertainment. Now we just talk about the conditions, and we don't need to go around too much. ”
"It's good to be straightforward, but it's important to have patience to get to the end. Li Qingmo said as he walked: "I want to ask you, what do you think of entertainment companies, and what do you think of the idol profession?"
"I don't think so. Wang Taika said: "Not in his position, not in his government." Even if I cooperate with you, this kind of general policy is not in my hands, right? And I'm not an idol, and I don't want to participate in other people's future, I'm lazy. ”
"Haha, that's right. Li Qingmo nodded.
"By the way, there's a question I'd love to ask you. Wang Taika said: "You are still Bao Liuxiang, I can't remember exactly, you mentioned it to me last time, what kind of power is Seoul? What is it? Can you say it now?"
"The four major forces. Li Qingmo said slowly: "There is nothing to say about this kind of thing, for ordinary people, it is a hungry wolf that cannot be avoided, but for those who know a little, it is just four lost dogs." ”
Wang Taika: "I would like to hear about it." ”
"Actually, there is nothing to say, just the four most famous organizations in Seoul. Li Qingmo said as he walked: "But before I talk about this, I can give you a science popularization first." After all, you really don't know anything!"
Wang Taika shrugged, how long has he been in South Korea?
Li Qingmo said: "The underworld forces in South Korea have a special name, which is called organizing violent groups. At present, almost all of the country's largest organized crime groups operate in Gyeonggi Province. In particular, in the area of Pyeongtaek and Anseong, there was a Cheonghae faction a few years ago, which was the largest organized violent group in Korea at that time, and there were also Nammun factions operating in Suwon, Gyeonggi, and the reversal faction operating in Gyeonggi Suwon, which were also very strong. However, under the heavy attack of the official, it is all over now. So it's a good time for you to come to Korea!"
Wang Taika pouted: "Hehe!"
Li Qingmo said: "The development of organized violence groups is roughly divided into several periods, the earliest embryonic period, organized violence groups began to develop with the rise of industry and commerce, at this time, most of them rely on their fists to slowly establish power. Then there was the period of violence, which was probably a few decades ago from the time of the reign of Shoben to the time after the liberation of Korea. ”
"You're not here to give me a history lesson, are you?" Wang Taika said helplessly: "I'm not interested in the development of evil forces in your country at all, okay!"
Li Qingmo smiled: "Okay, skip back." In the 1950s, during the era of the Liberal regime, rioters and political collusion coexisted, which was a period of symbiosis between political underworld figures. Politicians of this period combined the forces of organized gangs to consolidate power. After the independence of the Northern Dynasties in the 1950s, due to the weak security force of South Korea not long after the founding of the country, in order to maintain law and order, they pretended to use the power of the underworld, and because of this reason, the foundation for the future participation of the underworld figures in politics was laid. At that time, there was another celebrity in the Korean sumo world, Lee Jeong-jae, who was also a big boss in the Dongdaemun area, who was under the protection of a certain president at the time, and operated secretly as a political underworld, he was used by politicians to maintain power, and at the same time manipulated him to suppress opposition forces by violent means, which is a typical black-white symbiosis of this era. ”
"President?" Wang Taika's history is still very good, combined with the time of that era, he suddenly figured out the name, and asked: "Li ...... Evening?"
Li Qingmo nodded: "It's magical! So there are no real evil forces in South Korea, it's just dogs that serve the rich and powerful." It's not a hungry wolf, it's a lost dog. ”
"Where the universe originated, anything can happen. Wang Taika said.
"That's how you describe it?" Li Qingmo smiled and continued: "In the 1970s, the struggle between the organized violent groups intensified, and the main organized violent groups developed three large power territories, namely the Western faction led by Kim Tae Village, the Gwangju OB faction led by Lee Dong-jae, and the Yang Eun-yi faction. Other well-known regional organizations include Busan's Seven Stars faction, Daejeon's Yutai faction, Daegu's Dongseongro faction, Suwon faction, and the Parking Yard faction. This period was also the official use of knives as a tool for gangs in street struggles, making the organized struggle more brutal than before. ”
Wang Taika couldn't help but stretch out his thumb: "You guys are really good at playing! What is the situation of the four major forces now?"
"The Korean Hotel is the oldest of the Western schools, dating back to the 80s of the last century. That's what I just said, the guy called Jintai Village, you definitely don't know. Later, it gradually developed, and various forces appeared, and at that time, it was the most chaotic time in Korea, and it can be said that gangsters were rampant. Later, the crackdown began, and the mainstream underworld forces basically collapsed, and the remaining ones were the Korean Hotel. ”
"Koreans really don't have enough words for names. Wang Taika said.
Li Qingmo continued: "The Korean Hotel was still very strong at the beginning, but after all these years, it is long gone. Basically, it means disappearing. This organization is very xenophobic. This also has something to do with the general environment, Seoulians themselves feel that they are superior, and Seoul has been urbanized before, absorbing a lot of rural people to break through, so there is a saying that squeezing space. So it's very xenophobic, to what extent? Even Koreans are only Seoul natives, and countrymen look down on them. ”
"Awesome. Wang Taika laughed, this situation is actually nothing funny, developed cities all over the world have self-superior aborigines. Other than that, nothing is good.
