Three days after returning to New York, Jiang Hua was sitting on the edge of the pier fishing when Argus came over to say someone was visiting.
Jiang Hua asked Argus to bring him over. He was a gentle middle-aged man, wearing a dark blue suit, shiny reflective leather shoes, and wearing glasses. He looked very elegant, like those elites who go to and from Wall Street.
"Sir, people are here." Argus took him and stood aside quietly.
"Hello, Mr. Jiang, please forgive me for visiting." He spoke in very standard Mandarin, obviously knowing Jiang Hua's identity very well: "I am James Wesley, with greetings from Mr. Wilson Fisk."
Jiang Hua did not look back, and continued to stare at the floats on the water. The water surface of the Hudson River was relatively calm, and the silver-white floats undulated slightly with the waves. The harvest in the morning was not much, only three adult rainbow trout, and those half-and-half-year-old rainbow trout. The big one, Jiang Hua directly released: "Wilson Fisk? Is that the fat bald guy who often appears on TV recently?"
Hearing that Jiang Hua was a bit rude, James Wesley frowned slightly, but still smiled: "During this period, Mr. Fisk has been committed to transforming the Clinton District and is seeking the support of the city government."
"Oh, Clinton District? It's Hell's Kitchen next to it. It's not easy to renovate there. It seems that your boss is very ambitious." Jiang Hua said playfully without inviting James Wesley to sit down.
Although Jiang Hua's expression could not be seen, the playful tone was still very harsh. James Wesley said a little stiffly: "Mr. Fisk is a respectable person, please maintain a respectful attitude."
After investigating Jiang Hua's background, in the eyes of James Wesley and Wilson Fisk, he was a nouveau riche who had just immigrated to the United States. He had some connections, got through the city government, and obtained the land in the dock area. , used to develop and build buildings. As the king of the underground, Jin Bin did not take Jiang Hua seriously. The purpose of James Wesley this time was to test Xianli. It would be better if he could figure out Jiang Hua's relationship. If not, it would be better. , then the rearguard will have to use force.
"Oh, to a gangster? I don't have this habit." Jiang Hua turned around and smiled playfully, with a look of disdain.
An insult to the boss is an insult to oneself. As Jin Bing's right-hand man, James Wesley faced Jiang Hua, who was just a nouveau riche. A billion dollars was more than a billion dollars, but for the boss Jin Bing, it was not a big deal. In his eyes: "I came with good intentions, but your attitude is not friendly."
"Really? Here in my place, smiling does not mean goodwill. Since you are proficient in Chinese, you must know that "hiding a knife in a smile" is not a good word." Jiang Hua poked his smile with a needle.
At this moment, James was still smiling, but a little stiff, and started to get straight to the point: "The purpose of my visit this time is that Mr. Fisk wants to cooperate with you to jointly develop the Clinton District. This is not a small cake."
"Haha, developing Hell's Kitchen is not a good idea. Since it exists, it is reasonable. Have you asked the residents there for their opinions?" No matter how prosperous the city is, there are some low-income people, and low-cost housing is Very necessary.
The Clinton District is such a place, where many people from the bottom of society gather. Coupled with the insufficient depth of educational concepts and government management, gangs breed rampantly, and guns begin to proliferate. Under this cycle, Hell's Kitchen's reputation is formed.
"The people there hate gangs very much, and I believe that the renovation of Hell's Kitchen will bring them new hope." James Wesley began to persuade Jiang Hua: "We will benefit from it, and the residents of Hell's Kitchen will have a better environment. "
"Do you believe what you say? The new environment will also bring burdens. High housing prices will make their already thin wallets even more dry. Will Wilson provide them with good employment opportunities?" Jiang Hua can't I believe that residents of Clinton District will give up cheap rent and are willing to live in chaotic neighborhoods. That is because Manhattan, New York, is so charming that few people are willing to leave.
Jiang Hua's words left James Wesley speechless. Wilson Fisk was a gangster, not a philanthropist who sacrificed himself for others. If there were no low-rent housing, the tens of thousands of people living here would not work, let alone Underground gangs, this is going to cut off their livelihood. It is strange that they can live in peace. Even if Kingpin is an underground emperor, he is only underground and cannot be brought to the surface. If the trouble is too big, the government will not lose face. If it looks good, he will definitely intervene. It is not impossible to send out the army.
Seeing that James Wesley couldn't answer, Jiang Hua became even more contemptuous: "That Wilson Fisk only wants to put money on his face. In the final analysis, it is for the greater benefit. You said Wilson wants to cooperate with me. This is If you are seeking skin from a tiger, who is the tiger?"
"I think Mr. Jiang misunderstood. This is a big cake, and we can't eat it in one bite, so we need some collaborators." James did not give up the purpose of his visit.
"Haha, let's forget it. This life will be relaxed and happy. I won't participate in your money-making plan. I won't send you away." Jiang Hua was chasing people away.
Argus stepped forward and offered his hand, making a gesture of invitation, gesturing for James to follow him and leave, but James Wesley continued: "Mr. Fisk will be the leader of this cooperation, and everything will be completed by us. As long as As long as Mr. Jiang provides some relationship resources and government support for the transformation of Clinton District, Mr. Fisk will ensure your interests."
"Haha, I don't have any connections with the government, so your plans are all in vain." Jiang Hua denied without hesitation.
"Don't deny it, otherwise the construction of this building will not start. This area is not in the city's planned construction area." James Wesley didn't believe Jiang Hua's words at all. The area under construction turned out to be Riverside Park, and it was to be here. Ordinary people cannot get approval to build a building.
Jiang Hua waved his hand, and Argus urged again: "Mr. Wesley, it's time to leave."
"I hope Mr. Jiang will think about it again." James glanced at Jiang Hua and found that he was still indifferent. He knew that their goal would not be achieved today. After saying this, he followed Argus and left.
Jiang Hua did not take this matter seriously, but Jin Bin was not happy about the failure of the plan. After listening to James' report, his broad face was still calm, but his clenched fists made a "crunching" sound. Obviously he was very angry in his heart: "Is this really his attitude?"
"Yes, there is no exaggeration." James knew Jin Bing's character and described his conversation with Jiang Hua without adding any exaggeration.
"Okay, I understand, you go and take a rest." Jin Bin's voice was very rich.
"Then I'm going out first." Seeing Kingpin closing his eyes and leaning on the chair, James said and left the office, closing the door behind him.
After the office door closed for a moment, Jin Bin's eyes opened with a hint of ferocity. He hated people who looked down on him the most.
His father was a small gang leader, and he was a bad-tempered demon at home. He and his mother were either beaten or scolded. Once when his father beat his mother, Wilson finally couldn't bear it anymore and picked up a hammer and pointed it at his father's face. Hit the back of the head, and continue to hit it again and again after it fell to the ground until the demon was motionless.
His character changed as a result, using a strong appearance to cover up the deepest cowardice in his heart. This also made him care most about other people's attitudes. He became the king of the underground world and hated those who looked down on him.
Taking a deep breath, Kingpin took out his mobile phone and made a call: "Patton, help me do something, which is to block the transport convoy at the dock construction site. It would be best if you can intercept it."
Patton: "What about Black Mask? He is so elusive and unpredictable. We are preparing a trap to attract him and kill him."
Kingpin: "I will leave Black Mask to our allies. After all, we are not the only ones who have lost. They should also contribute."
Patton: "Okay, I'll go set it up now."
Kingpin: "The sooner the better."
James Wesley was Kingpin's right-hand man, but Kingpin did not only trust him as the underground emperor. James mostly dealt with matters on the surface and contacted important allies.
After thinking for a while, Kingpin dialed James's phone number: "James, contact our allies and ask them to take the initiative. The goods swept away by Black Mask will not only cost us."
"Okay, I'll go there myself." James agreed without any hesitation after receiving the call.
"Say hello to Mrs. Gao for me and tell her that we will provide the goods to her as soon as possible." Jin Bin took a deep breath. There were too many things going on recently, which made him feel tired.
Three months ago, a man wearing a black mask appeared in Hell's Kitchen. He walked in the dark, acted chivalrously, and attacked those who committed crimes. Kingpin's business was also affected. The most serious one was the transportation of drugs. It had been raided three times intermittently, causing heavy losses to him and his allies.
In Hell's Kitchen, he also contacted several forces to develop and renovate Hell's Kitchen together, and established a joint construction company. Although he is the largest gangster in the underground world, it does not mean that he can do whatever he wants. If other gangs join forces, even if they are shaken It doesn't affect his status, but it's enough to cause him a headache if it delays him and causes damage.
This company has been in trouble recently. They coerced and induced the residents to sign the transaction contract, and even the evidence of the murder was leaked. The successive incidents caused several allies to lose confidence in this interest alliance. If the situation is not reversed, , this Hell's Kitchen renovation plan will come to nothing, and all his efforts will be shattered. This is what he can't tolerate the most.
That night, after Jiang Hua and Li Qingyun finished dinner and were lying in the garden watching the night view, they received a report from Argus, saying that there was something wrong with the vehicle transporting materials to the construction site, and that it was often blocked by cars on the road, and there were even Some damage caused the vehicle to be unable to drive normally.
Jiang Hua's first reaction was: "Did you call the police?"
Argus shook his head: "It's useless to call the police, because these people will leave immediately after doing the damage, and the police can't always follow our vehicles, so the transportation has not been restored yet."
Jiang Hua was amused for a moment, but Fisk couldn't wait to say: "Oh, Jin Bin's movements are really fast, when did he make a move?"
Argus reported in a calm tone: "Two forty, that is, three hours and twenty minutes after James Wesley left. Do you need me to handle it?"
Jiang Hua: "No, let's wait until the commandos arrive. I'll let them enter now. Also, if we count how much we have lost, ten times the compensation should be very reasonable."
The identities of the members of the Deadly Commando are still being implanted. Since Jiang Hua has arranged their files in the United States, the supervision here is very strict, so it will take some time. The Shadow Guard is perfecting the memory of their interpersonal relationships, which is nearing the end. Now as long as they don't conduct in-depth investigations when entering the country, there will be no problem at all.
Their identities are all Americans, and some even have military service records. They eventually went abroad to participate in mercenary training until they were hired by Jiang Hua to become security guards for the company in South Africa. Their identities were impeccable, even in field investigations. There are no flaws, because their social circle has been very complete since childhood, and there are no flaws in their archives, consumption and medical records. This is also what the shadow guards and intelligent life sources have been busy with during this period. This is a big project. .
