"Kingpin?!" Eva obviously couldn't keep up with her father. Others may not know the relationship between his father and Kingpin, but she knows it all too well. It can be said that their family's business in New York and even the entire East Coast is inextricably linked to the Kingpin. Especially New York.
Kingpin's public identity is Wilson Fisk, a successful real estate and energy businessman who owns the largest gas station chain in New York State, and is also a philanthropist and art collector.
The identity can be said to be quite positive.
There are very few people who know his true identity, and Donald is one of those few people, because when Fix was just a small mafia boss, Donald had certain business dealings with him.
Eva couldn't understand what her father was thinking. Deal with Kingpin? That's not to deal with themselves. If the bad things that happened in their family's past are revealed, it will be a disaster! Don't talk about running at that time, it might even cause the tax department to scrutinize their family. You must know that the growth and development of their family in recent years will never be as clean as it seems on the surface.
In the eyes of many people, Donald is a sensational clown and a bastard who likes to show off. If he hadn't had a good father to watch, he would never have become a rich man.
But is this really the case?
There are lucky successes in this world, but there is absolutely no such luck as always being successful.
Is Donald really as bad as he appears? Perhaps, that's what Donald wants you to see. How could an arrogant fool allow his business to expand across the United States? How could a good-for-nothing bastard be so high-profile and arrogant but never capsize once?
This is not something that can be achieved simply by family background and luck.
No, even his daughter was deceived by his 'illusion'.
"No, no, no, Eva. In fact, this has always been what I want to do. Don't forget, if I want to join politics, my cooperation with Kingpin will definitely be a stain on me! In this case, why should I What if I hand over this stain to my opponent instead of doing it myself? You must know that once the enemy grasps this stain, it will immediately become a weapon to attack me, a very deadly weapon. But if I do it myself, all the initiative The power is in my hands!"
At this time, Donald became very wise, even wily!
He was never stupid, and he acted exactly as he wanted others to think him. If you really take him for a fool...that's the real fool.
Eva looked at her father.
She had always known that her father was not as helpless as he seemed. In fact, in the country of the United States, if you don't have the corresponding capabilities, you can't keep your property and status, and the higher you go, the more so!
Competition is everywhere, and the closer you get to the pyramid, the fiercer the competition.
But she still underestimated her father.
"But... what about Kingpin's counterattack?" Eva said after calming down.
As the heir that Donald favors, Eva is no fool. In fact, the heirs of such a large family may have questionable abilities, but the city has no shortage of them! Real fools are not qualified to be heirs. For example, Eva's brothers and sisters are what people think of as typical rich second generations. They don't have much ability, but they are proficient in everything they eat, drink and have fun.
"Well, this is indeed a problem." If Kingpin was really that easy to deal with, he wouldn't be alive now. But Donald was not afraid of him. It's not that the Donald family also controls some power and can compete with Jin Bin.
If he really had these things, Donald wouldn't bother to jump into politics.
What really made Donald emboldened Kingpin was his identity!
A super famous billionaire!
This is the United States, a country of money. Although money does not represent everything, it does rule the society. Here, billionaires are destined to have unimaginable influence. Does Kingpin dare to kill Donald?
Of course I dare!
But the premise is that no one finds the slightest clue!
This society has its own operating rules, and rich people are at the top of the pyramid in this society! All rules and order operate from the top of this pyramid!
Under this rule, Donald can deal with Jin Bin and even kill him, but Jin Bin cannot do the same. He can fight back and even cause Donald to suffer losses, but he can never threaten Donald's life or even destroy Donald. Family businesses can’t do it either.
Because once he does this, he will become a destroyer of order!
No one will tolerate such people!
No matter how powerful Kingpin was, he could not fight against the entire social order.
Therefore, even if Donald is not confident, he still has the confidence to fall out with Kingpin.
Of course the timing is perfect!
The mayor of New York City died because of the gang war... I believe the federal government is also very angry now, right?
Now Donald's indifference to the New York gang war has turned from being indifferent at the beginning to being extremely concerned! He needs the war to get more intense. Only in this way, New Yorkers will become more disgusted with the gangs. Only in this way can he gain greater support!
"By the way...Dad, was the mayor...really assassinated because of the gang war?"
In fact, Eva was a little confused when she got the news. Are American gangs really that powerful? Kill the mayor of New York City?
"Haha, this is really hard to say." Donald showed a mysterious smile.
He knew something inside, but he had no intention of telling Eva.
Because according to Donald's plan, his family will eventually complete the transformation in his hands! From an ordinary wealthy family to a powerful family!
Why does Donald get involved in politics?
Don’t billionaires look good? Being a rich man is much more comfortable than being a president! In this country, the president can be scolded casually, because no president dares to do anything drastic because others scold him. But the rich are different. If you dare to scold, you will be sued!
There is only one reason for him to do this, and that is that his career and his family's career have reached a bottleneck!
Donald's family is nothing in the United States, and his family background is too poor. Their family really made their fortune in his father's generation, and they were not considered wealthy. They could only be considered a small real estate company in New York City. They were considered rich, but not wealthy.
After he took control of the family business, it took him decades to build it to the scale it is today. He has never been able to truly integrate into the top elite.
He clearly knew that the development of his family business had reached a bottleneck.
First of all, his main business is real estate... In this era, the real estate industry in the United States has little potential to tap. The economic structure has destined that real estate companies cannot grow bigger, because it is meaningless. Except for a few big cities in the United States, housing prices in other areas are not too expensive. For example, New York City has the most expensive housing prices, but New Yorkers have no need to live in New York. They can work in New York and live in New Jersey.
In this case, supply exceeds demand, and prices will fluctuate relatively speaking. How much money do real estate developers make if they don’t speculate in real estate?
So, Donald's family business can only be like this.
Unless they move into other industries, such as finance, high-tech and electronics.
This kind of thing is easy to say, but extremely difficult to do.
At least the Donald family doesn't have the ability to enter other industries in a big way. It took their family so many years to enter the hotel industry before they made some progress. Are you going to enter other industries? At least Donald himself is not optimistic about it.
So if you want to break through the bottleneck, the best way is to enter politics.
In this regard, the Kennedy family has set the best example!
This is how the Kennedy family completed its transformation.
So Donald just has to repeat the process.
Of course, there will be many difficulties, and it may even be as doomed as the Kennedy family, but Donald still decided to give it a try.
He was the one who changed the fate of the family.
The biggest reason for doing this is to convert the attributes of the family.
He needed to cut something up.
Such as the secret of the mayor's murder.
This is related to a mysterious organization - the High Table!
This kind of organization cannot have anything to do with his successors. These things can be unrelated, but it is best not to be related.
…
Just when Donald was ambitious, Kingpin instinctively felt threatened.
The mayor of New York is dead!
Kingpin was shocked by the news. He didn't expect Gaotai Table to do such a thing!
This gang war goes back several years.
As the King of New York, Kingpin would naturally be associated with the High Table, but they were more like collaborators. Kingpin never intended to join the High Table, not because the High Table was not strong enough, but because he could not see himself in the High Table. future.
The highest organ of the High Table is the twelve seats of the High Table.
The twelve seats on the High Table are always controlled by the twelve families who founded the High Table.
The most he joins is the high-ranking vassal of one of the twelve families with twelve seats on the High Table! Although this set of rules does allow a vassal to become the actual person in power and use the family he is attached to as a shield, the rules are the rules. No matter how powerful the King is, he cannot really become the twelve seats on the high table, and he must be careful at any time. Being stabbed in the back is what the Twelve Families of the High Table have been doing all these years. They may indeed lose their power for a while, but they will soon "return it".
Jinpin actually doesn't mind submitting to others temporarily. He also comes from the bottom, so there is no shame in it.
But I can’t bear it if I don’t see a future.
Therefore, Gao Tai Desi and Jin Bin have always been cooperative, and there is no superior or subordinate.
Until Kingpin got involved with another force.
The Hand!
This gang organization from Japan has grown rapidly in the United States in recent decades. Inevitable conflict with the high table. The High Table has indeed considered incorporating the Hand into the High Table system, but unfortunately this organization is very disdainful of the High Table's recruitment.
As a result, various conflicts began to break out between the two.
During the previous gang war in Los Angeles, Japanese ninjas and a group of mysterious killers fought each other, which was the epitome of the conflict between the two.
Therefore, the cooperation between the Kingpin and the Hand became closer and closer, and it was naturally unlikely that the High Table would continue to tolerate the Kingpin still sitting under the throne of New York.
So after the last warning, war finally broke out between the high table and the Kingpin.
Not long ago, a group of Russian gangsters suddenly entered New York and destroyed several Kingpin warehouses at once!
These Russian gangsters are real gangsters from Russia, not gangsters who have been in New York before.
Here I want to talk about the form of world gangs.
When many people think of gangs, they think of the American mafia and think how awesome these mafia are. But in fact, in the ranking of the world's criminal organizations, American gangsters have always been the younger brothers, which means that the gangsters in the Western Era are relatively decent. The mafia after that can only be said to be barely adequate, but now...the black gangsters are simply not enough.
They are world-famous only thanks to the powerful propaganda capabilities of the United States.
The most terrifying gangster forces in the world today are divided into three waves.
They are from Latin America, Russia and Albania.
Not to mention those in Latin America, such as MS-13, Mexican drug lords, Latin Kings, Brazilian gangs, etc. They are absolutely notorious. Even the local government can't do anything about them. Those who are interested can Go look up the information, it will definitely subvert your three views.
Albanian gangs may sound unimpressive, but in fact they have gradually become a nightmare for European countries. The most inhumane, least disciplined, and most beautiful gang is the Albanian gang. However, they do not operate in the United States, so Americans have little impression of them, so we will not talk about them for now.
The most international ones are the gangs from Russia. There are profound historical reasons for their formation.
It was the collapse of the Soviet Union that led to the rise of Russian gangs. The disintegration of the Soviet Union left a huge vacuum in all aspects of Russian society, morality, and economic life. Russian gangs took the opportunity to fill the void and control a large amount of social wealth. In addition, the constant conflicts between various factions in the Russian government institutions have made some officials caught among them worry about their own situation, and have driven them to maximize their use of their powers and reap substantial material benefits. And using corrupt officials to benefit oneself is the gang's best skill. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the living standards of the Russian people dropped sharply, while criminals became rich overnight. As a result, psychological imbalance led to terrible changes in values, and many social talents at that time began to flow into gangs!
This gave the Russian gangs an extremely strong motivation.
This situation reached its peak when Yeltsin's shock therapy almost killed Russia!
Later, the Russian gangsters needed money, talent, and talent, and they even had no shortage of weapons (after the collapse of the Soviet Union, a large number of weapons went to these gangsters, and there were even jokes about American agents buying nuclear submarines from Russian gangsters on the streets). With these things, the power of the Russian gang began to expand crazily!
Now the best international gangsters in the world come to Russia.
They are organized, disciplined, capable of fighting, ferocious, and a proper gangster version of the Bear.
When such a powerful force settled in New York, it was naturally Kingpin who made the biggest impression.
For a time, Kingpin's power was greatly affected. More importantly, Kingpin lost many good players in Los Angeles, which put him under great pressure. This is why even though Jin Bin suffered such a big loss in Los Angeles, he did not seek revenge.
Because I don’t have time.
In order to completely suppress these outsiders, Kingpin had to use some means.
Use political means!
Although the mayor of New York City is very compatible with President Benjamin's political views, he also has the Cold War plot of most Americans. He is very wary of and hates the Russians!
This was exploited by Kingpin. He used his friends in the government to exert influence on the mayor, and then used the mayor's attitude to leverage law enforcement agencies, hit the Russians hard, and taught the Russians a lesson. pause!
causing them heavy losses.
I didn’t expect the reaction behind the high table would be so horrific.
They killed the mayor directly...
When Kingpin got the news, he almost immediately cursed!
He thought he had no bottom line, but he didn't expect that the other party was completely crazy and didn't care about anything at all!
This is going to overturn the entire table!
A rhythm that no one can play well?
Kingpin could imagine how angry the federal government was and the pressure he would face!
