Chen Zhengwei sits in an office at a broom factory in Chinatown.
"Boss Tang, it's just a small matter that I'm looking for you today. There will be a meeting in two days to elect a new director, and you will vote for me then!"
Chen Zhengwei said with a smile. At the same time, he asked someone to bring the bag over, reached inside and took out a gold pocket watch with blood on it and threw it on the table.
"Are you relying on friends when you go out? I even brought a meeting gift. Boss Tang won't turn away people thousands of miles away, right?"
Tang Borong is an old man about fifty years old. He is missing three fingers. They were smashed when the railway was built.
Looking at the gold pocket watch still stained with blood on the table, his brows jumped.
He knew this pocket watch. He had seen Hu Shuyao wearing it before. Because Hu Shuyao was born in the year of dragon, a dragon in the clouds was carved on the cover of this pocket watch.
Still a little unsure, I asked cautiously: "Have you met Boss Hu?"
"Boss Hu... I went to look for him just now, but he didn't know if he was possessed by a ghost, so he suddenly committed suicide!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile: "Boss Tang and Boss Hu are very familiar with each other, right?"
"Not familiar, not familiar! I've just seen him a few times..." Tang Borong was startled and shook his head repeatedly.
"It's okay if you're not familiar with it..." Chen Zhengwei said meaningfully.
"Relying on friends when you are away from home. Does Boss Tang want to make me your friend?"
"Boss Chen, of course I am willing to be your friend. Don't worry, I will definitely vote for you when the time comes..." Tang Borong said quickly.
"That's good..." Chen Zhengwei laughed. "Boss Tang is indeed on the right track."
When Tang Borong heard this, a thought came to his mind: Since there are people who are on the right path, there are also those who are not on the right path... The one who is not on the right path is Hu Shuyao...
Where did this guy come from?
"Boss Tang, don't you have anything else to do for a while? I just have to meet a few other bosses, and I have to ask Boss Tang to lead the way." Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.
"I'll take a moment..." Tang Borong hesitated.
"Boss Tang must have nothing else to do. I saw you were very idle when you came here just now!" Chen Zhengwei said, slapping his thigh.
"Yes, yes, I just remembered that I pushed back on that matter. I really have nothing to do for a while, so I will go with Boss Chen!" Tang Borong could only nod.
"But this meeting gift is too expensive, so Boss Chen should take it back. If I make Boss Chen a friend, I can't accept this thing!"
Tang Borong did not dare to accept the pocket watch.
"There is a courtesy between friends. At worst, I will give Boss Tang a piece, and Boss Tang will give me ten yuan! Or does Boss Tang have other ideas and doesn't want to be my friend?" Chen Zhengwei narrowed his eyes and said.
"Boss Chen is serious. Since Boss Chen said so, I will accept it!" Tang Borong had no choice but to accept it.
"That's right. If you ask me to take back the things I gave away, where will I put my face?"
Chen Zhengwei took out a cigarette and lit it. This cigarette was drawn from the system. It had no brand and although it had no filter, it was much warmer than the one he bought and was full of the aroma of tobacco.
After a while, Tang Borong took Chen Zhengwei to find several other people.
With Tang Borong as someone who knows current affairs, the next step will be much smoother.
After all, there are not many people as stubborn as Hu Shuyao.
These are ordinary businessmen. They usually deduct wages from Chinese workers, but they shy away from ghosts. How much more so when they encounter Chen Zhengwei acting so unscrupulously?
After taking care of several directors, Chen Zhengwei returned to the casino.
"Weige!" Some of his men have already come over, and there are also a few new faces.
"Brother Wei, they also want to do things with you..." Rong Jiacai came up and said.
"Are you brave? Do you dare to do something?" Chen Zhengwei asked after taking a look. "These days, if you are not brave enough, you will have to eat shit!"
"Brother Wei, as long as you keep your word, we will definitely do a good job." Those people said immediately.
"What's your name?"
After asking, it turned out that they were all named Rong and Yan.
Those who are coming now are all members of the Chen, Rong, and Yan families.
"Since you want to do things with me, then I will accept you. We are all our own people with broken bones and even tendons, so I don't need to say anything more. Scholar, you tell them."
Rong Jiacai nodded, and then said: "Brother Wei, Xiazai has always liked to play, and he is good at Pai Gow and dice. Do you want to let him try it tonight?"
The shrimp boy's name is Rong Jiaping, and he is one of the people who just came over.
Now that the casino is short of specialized talents, Rong Jiacai suggested that he give it a try.
"Xiaobao...can you?" Chen Zhengwei glanced over, but he hadn't remembered the names of these people yet.
"Brother Wei, I'm sure I can do it." The man called Xiazai was a thin young man who was dressed much better than the others.
Shrimp Boy's eyesight was extremely flexible. He raised his left hand and saw that there was one finger missing from his left hand.
"Weige, look at my finger, it was chopped off in the casino."
"You've had your fingers chopped off, how dare you say you can do it?" Chen Zhengwei raised his eyebrows.
"They said I was out of pocket, but they couldn't catch me, so they cut off one of my fingers. Otherwise, I would lose my hand!" Xiazai showed off.
"Then are you out and about?" Chen Zhengwei asked.
"No one is always lucky!" Xiazai laughed.
"It's so powerful, then let you try it! Choose a few people to open the casino first and open it normally at night. As long as it is done well, you will be indispensable!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.
"Thank you Brother Wei! I will definitely do a good job." Xiazai bowed and nodded.
Shrimp Boy didn't just have his fingers chopped off. Several casinos sent people to look for him. He didn't dare to go home for three months, so he had no choice but to take a boat and come here.
As it turned out, Chinatown was just that big. Not long after he was here, the casinos stopped letting him go.
Gui Lao couldn't go to the casino, and even eating would be a problem if things continued like this. He was considering whether to go back by boat.
At this time, I heard that Chen Zhengwei and the others had acquired the territory of Heshuntang, and the casino was still short of people, so I found Rong Jiacai and wanted to come over to do some work.
"Brother Wei, there are actually some people who want to come over. But they have to resign and pay their wages first." Rong Jiacai said as he followed Chen Zhengwei to the casino.
"If there's anything, you can tell me!" Chen Zhengwei nodded, he was short of people now.
Including the few who have just arrived, he has just over 30 people under his command.
As long as there are a hundred people, there is no need to worry about calls from other nearby gangsters.
…
"What? Who is so bold that he dares to kill even my sworn brother?"
In the afternoon, Li, the fat man from Ansongtang, heard that Hu Shuyao had been killed. His eyes widened on the spot and he cursed loudly.
You must know that Hu Shuyao was not just a sworn brother. Hu Shuyao also helped him transport some opium when transporting leather materials and leather shoes.
Hu Shuyao was killed, which was equivalent to his line being broken.
Not to mention Hu Shuyao or his sworn brother, someone actually dared to kill him? Where should he put his face?
"Boss, from the description, it sounds like they are the ones who robbed Heshun Tang of its territory! I asked people at the leather shoe factory, and they all wore black gentleman's clothes, white shirts, and dome hats on their heads... and guns were fired at that time. …”
"They said boss, your sworn brother was shot six times..."
"Is it them? I'm not done with them!" Fatty Li cursed immediately after hearing this.
The face is uncertain, this matter must be found back.
But the problem is how to find it.
"By the way, what did the Ningyang Guild Hall say?" Fatty Li asked with a roll of his eyes.
Hu Shuyao is from the Ningyang Guild Hall. If the Ningyang Guild Hall gives out a batch of reward bonuses, it will be easier to do.
He could legitimately avenge Hu Shuyao and get a bonus, so even if his subordinates suffered some losses, they could make up for it.
"Go and inquire!" Fatty Li arranged for his men to inquire.
After an hour, his men came back.
"What did they say?"
"They said... Boss, it's still unclear how your sworn brother died... Some people said he committed suicide..."
"Suicide? My sworn brother shot myself six times and committed suicide?" Li, the fat man, directly turned the table over and kicked it again. His eyes seemed to be killing people, and he gritted his teeth and said:
"Do they think I'm dead?"
