Chapter 590 Join Hongmen
Every U.S. presidential campaign is always like a national speech conference. Candidates tour speeches in various states of the United States, promising to every voter that they will bring them a better life and employment opportunities.
In addition, there are TV speeches, including the exposure of various media, which need a huge amount of money to support. If you don't have money to run for president in the United States, that's definitely a big joke.
So in addition to the earliest presidents of the United States in Washington, there is always a huge team of think tanks behind the presidential campaigns, and some consortia are providing huge campaign funds for the candidates.
As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking fresh food, and the presidential election is like this. The underworld elects the boss, to put it bluntly, is similar to it.
Abroad, the organized underworld has always been based on the illegal intake of black income. A strict gang system, coupled with a clear distribution of benefits of rewards and penalties, can make the organization develop and grow.
For example, Mexican gangs mainly sell drugs, and occasionally participate in the business of human smuggling, while the Canadian mafia, which have penetrated into the United States, mostly engage in pornography and processing industries. Drugs are also one of their main sources of income.
Although among these gangs, it is also a pyramid system, and those huge wealth is often controlled by a very small number of people, it is undeniable that even ordinary gang members can enjoy far more treatment than white-collar workers in the company.
Of course, these treatment are exchanged for the price of life or freedom, so the superior of any gang will not and will not dare to easily touch the interests of the grassroots members of the gang, and will improve their treatment as much as possible, all of which requires a lot of money as the basis.
And a super gang like Hongmen, which has existed for hundreds of years and has hundreds of thousands of children, the role of money is even more important, because many forces in the door are operating some profitable industries. The huge profits produced by these industries are maintaining their position.
If the superiors can't bring them more benefits, even the superpowers in Hongmen like Lei Zhenyue can't get their support. What's more, Leihu is only the son of Lei Zhenyue, and his prestige is not enough to convince the public.
Originally, Lei Zhenyue thought that with his prestige, his son could succeed to the throne, but later he found that although the bigwigs in Hongmen respected him, everyone did not buy it in this matter.
What the elderly are most afraid of is that they are not valued. The attitude of the elders in the door made the old and strong Lei Zhenyue have a pimple in his heart. Elder Lei, who had never been selfish in his life, held his breath in his heart and was determined to send his son Leihu to the position of the head of the Hongmen head.
The first rule in Hongmen is that it is strictly forbidden to work together, so although Lei Zhenyue is still in charge of the most elite armed force in Hongmen, he can't help his son ascend the throne of the master of the gate. He can only follow the rules, so at this time, strong financial resources become crucial.
In fact, the relationship between Lei Zhenyue and the Song family. As long as he makes a request, the Song family will definitely support it, which is also in line with the interests of the overseas Song family.
However, the yin and yang mistake is that Song Weilan basically stayed in China for a year last year, handed over the group's things to the few of her most trusted subordinates, and was looking for a trustworthy trusteeship fund, which had much less contact with Hongmen.
Lei Zhenyue once issued two invitations to Song Weilan. Song Weilan did not go to the United States, but only told her to deal with it at her discretion.
However, the funds required by Lei Zhenyue are quite large, and her professional managers have no authority to allocate them at all. So she naturally refused Lei Zhenyue's request, and did not inform Song Weilan of the matter afterwards. Her professional manager only regarded Lei Zhenyue as an old scoundrel.
Lei Zhenyue, who was rejected, was very angry at that time. Coupled with the deliberate provocation of some children of the Song family, he did not ask Song Weilan or Song Haotian for verification again. Instead, he was ready to teach Song Weilan, an ungrateful niece, in his own way.
The custody fund was arranged by Song Xiaolong, and then recommended by Lei Zhenyue to Song Weilan. Song Weilan, who was not prepared for Lei Zhenyue at all, so he said so.
After investing tens of billions of dollars, after various means, this huge amount of money was reasonably and legally transferred to a company controlled by Song Xiaolong and others. It was also because of this that Song Weilan rushed to the United States to explain in the face of Lei Zhenyue.
After listening to Du Fei's explanation, Ye Tian pondered for a while and asked, "Mom, can the money lost in this investment be recovered?"
Song Weilan shook her head and said, "I can't catch up, but I can terminate the custody relationship with that fund and hold them legally responsible!"
After a pause, Song Weilan continued, "Xiaotian, Mom doesn't care whether the money can be recovered. She just wants to explain it to Uncle Lei. After all, the Lei and Song families have been friends for more than half a century. Let's take this money as some compensation made by my mother to Uncle Lei."
For Song Weilan, since she decided to quit the business world to be a good wife and mother, money and career are really not very important to her. The reason why she still misses the business empire she built is only out of a responsibility to let those who followed her fight the world have a good home. .
"Vilan, I don't think you need to see Uncle Lei. In fact, after this incident, I once visited him and explained the matter, but for him, he will never regret what he has done. Even if it is wrong, he will go all the way to the dark."
Du Fei is Lei Zhenyue's nephew. He knows his personality very well. Old figures like them have more face than the sky. It is almost impossible for him to apologize to Song Weilan. Even if Song Weilan sees Lei Zhenyue, I'm afraid it won't be helped.
"One way to the dark? What's the matter? Do you still want to leave my mother here?
After hearing Du Fei's words, Ye Tian's pupils couldn't help shrinking. Since he arrived in the United States, he had a sense of crisis. Unexpectedly, the danger came from Hongmen, which made Ye Tian quite unhappy.
"I know a little about the agreement between Song Xiaolong and Leihu. They want your mother to hand over all the shares that belong to her, and then the two divide these shares equally, and Song Xiaolong is in charge of the company..."
Du Fei sighed and looked at Song Weilan and said, "I didn't let you come before, but I was afraid that they would put you under house arrest. It's good for you to throw yourself in."
No matter how white Hongmen is now, he can't escape the rules of conduct of the Jianghu gang. At some point, they will not hesitate to use some means to achieve their goals, although those methods are very bright.
Du Fei has lived with Song Haotian for a period of time since he was a child, and his relationship with the Song family is closer than Lei Zhenyue. He didn't know about this before, but now he doesn't hesitate to stand on Song Weilan's side.
"My mother under house arrest? Who wants to do this?" Ye Tian sneered when he heard the words, "Is it Lei Zhenyue or Lei Hu, or did Song Xiaolong propose it?"
People have reverse scales. For Ye Tian, his reverse scales are his own family. Lei Zhenyue designed Song Weilan in order to seek money. Ye Tian is not very angry, but if he wants to hurt Song Weilan, it will definitely violate Ye Tian's taboo.
Du Fei thought for a moment and said, "It was proposed by Song Xiaolong. This matter was planned by him and Lei Hu. Uncle Lei may not know it."
"How did Xiaolong become like this?"
Song Weilan is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves. In her early years, when she was in the sea of commerce, she had experienced a more sinister environment than at this time. She was not afraid, but a little sad.
You know, Song Xiaolong lived with Song Weilan when he was very young. At that time, Song Weilan poured her thoughts and feelings for her son on Song Xiaolong. It can be said that she treated him like a parent-child, but Song Weilan never thought that Song Xiaolong first calculated his son, and now she actually He took action on himself again. Is the kindness of raising him for more than ten years really worthless in his eyes?
"Mom, you should understand that greed is one of the original sins of human beings."
Looking at his mother's sad face, Ye Tian gently hugged Song Weilan's shoulder, turned his face to Du Fei, and asked, "Is Song Xiaolong in San Francisco? Where are Lei Hu and others?"
"Song Xiaolong heard that you were coming the day before yesterday, so he left San Francisco to see that his ticket should be back to Africa."
Calculate his aunt with outsiders. If this matter spreads, even if Song Xiaolong can get those shares, it will be difficult for him to fully control the commercial empire. After all, many important positions with this consortium are the old ministers who followed Song Weilan to fight the world.
Although none of these people are the core leaders of the consortium, the power they gathered together is enough to make the commercial kingdom collapse instantly. This consequence is unaffordable for Song Xiaolong, so he must hide in Africa to avoid suspicion when Song Weilan has an accident.
"Where's the Thunder Tiger?" Ye Tian asked.
"Master, what do you want to do?"
Hearing Ye Tian's second inquiry about Leihu, Du Fei's expression became a little nervous, "Leihu is now the head of Hongmen Xingtang, young master, I know you are very good at kung fu, but no matter how powerful you are, you are not the opponent of hundreds of thousands of disciples of Hongmen, are you?"
"I don't want to do anything..."
Ye Tian waved his hand, looked at Du Fei with a nervous face, and said, "I want to follow my master's last wish and join Hongmen!"
PS: I just said yesterday that it would be hard for a few days. I didn't expect it to be so hard. I caught the plane at six o'clock in the morning and didn't settle down until now. This chapter was written on various means of transportation.
All kinds of fatigue, at this time, only you can comfort the fat man, monthly ticket, recommendation ticket, let the fat man who lies down in ** and wants to sleep write another chapter!
