Chapter 285: Calling for no reason, everyone knows something is wrong
Then he turned back and went to Lisbon. His purpose was of course very simple.
I hope we can put pressure on Macau to keep our own Grand Lisboa Hotel.
"Flop." This day,
He Xin, who had just returned from a banquet, was furious in his apartment.
Gao Ming, who had been acting as He Xin's housekeeper, quickly handed him a cup of tea and then asked, "Is the foreigner still refusing to give in?"
He Xin took a sip of tea,
Then he let out a sigh: "You dead white guy doesn't want to get involved." Gao Ming took the teacup and put it away.
"How is Haojiang now?"
Gao Ming shrugged slightly, and then fell silent.
He Xin angrily said, "A Ming, you treat me like this too?" "Brother Xin."
Gao Ming had no choice but to look back.
He whispered, "It's better not to know." He Xin's face flushed instantly: "Speak."
Gao Ming could only say, "Gao Laosi has already led his men to join Lu Wendong's forces. I heard they are now collectively known as the Triads."
The Triads are a legitimate Hongmen organization, inherited from Fang Dahong.
On the road,
That's the name. "Okay."
He Xin's chest heaved with anger. "That shameless fellow, Gao Laosi, is he a member of the Hongmen?" "In Haojiang, apart from the Hezitou and the Number Gang, how many of them are legitimate Hongmen members?"
The gangs in Haojing originated from pig farms and were purely criminal in nature from the beginning.
Gao Ming thought,
It doesn't matter whether it is or not, the most important thing is,
Now he has been recognized by the Hongmen sect.
He was a genuine Hongmen disciple. "Continue."
Gao Ming hesitated and continued, "Nie Aotian has officially moved into the Grand Lisboa Hotel." "He's fired all of us inside."
Repaying in kind, back then,
He Xin used this trick to eliminate Nie Aotian.
With the support of Lu Wendong,
Nie Aotian, who was rejuvenated, actually used the same method to return the favor. He Xin was almost furious.
He slammed the table repeatedly: "Okay, okay." Gao Ming had already spoken,
So I just poured it out completely,
He then added, "I heard that Luo Bao has returned to Haojiang." He Xin's face suddenly turned pale: "Bastard!"
Luo Bao is a surname.
According to the common name used by the local people in Haojing, he should be Xiao Luo Bao.
This surname has a special meaning in Haojiang, such as He Xian, who was originally known as the King of Haojiang.
They were Luo Bao's men... At that time,
This man controlled most of the gold smuggling in Macao and Hong Kong, not only making a fortune,
It is also relied upon by Portugal politically!
When He Xin and others were competing for the gambling license, they were once hunted down by this little Luo Bao.
If He Xin's first wife had not gone to Lisbon to find Portuguese dignitaries to mediate, He Xin would most likely not have become the gambling king.
"Lu Wendong!"
He Xin clenched his fists. This person,
It must be this person! He gritted his teeth,
Only Lu Wendong has such means! Luo Bao entered Haojiang,
Then the Hao Mansion would have no reason to help him. In other words,
I have lost the Grand Lisboa Hotel forever!
Decades of hard work went to waste in the blink of an eye, and He Xin was filled with resentment.
Countless flames were biting and drilling at him like poisonous snakes, and he almost fainted from the pain.
"Xin brother, Xin brother." Gao Ming saw something was wrong.
He quickly stepped forward to support He Xin: "Your health is the most important thing..." "As long as the green mountains remain, there will be no shortage of firewood."
He Xin's face turned from red to black and then white.
Then it turns to pale gold,
It's like opening a dye shop.
He said woodenly: "Is there any firewood left?" As for wealth,
The money He Xin currently holds is enough for him to live a carefree life for several lifetimes. The problem is,
Wealth without power is nothing but a passing cloud! Just like the people in Portugal now,
When I was still in control of the Macau gambling industry, what was their attitude towards me?
What's his attitude now? "A-Ming."
He Xin sighed, "Without power, we can't stay in Lisbon." "Brother Xin, why don't we go to Australia? Singapore?"
He Xin even shook his head: "It's all the same." He is not a three-year-old child.
He is very clear that he is no different from a fat sheep now that he holds a huge fortune.
recent,
He Xin has been feeling frightened.
I always feel like someone is plotting against me behind my back.
Gao Ming hesitated and said, "Brother Xin, do you want to ask Mr. Lu for a favor?" He Xin was stunned.
His face turned red. Begging for mercy?
Isn't this just asking me to kneel down? Who am I?
After decades of traveling across the Macao and Hong Kong rivers,
Even the Fu family and Luo Bao couldn't make them bow their heads! Now,
To bow down to a great enemy? "What do you know?"
Gao Ming lowered his head and didn't dare to look at He Xin.
He stammered, "Brother Xin, Mr. Lu now has absolute control over Hong Kong Island and Macau." "I heard that the Secretary for Administration of Hong Kong Island even attended the Taiyi Party's conference."
He Xin sneered: "Playing with fire will only get you burned. I think the foreigner can only hold back his anger for a while."
Gao Ming advised: "Brother Xin, the situation is stronger than people, it is better to take a step back and the horizon will be broader."
"I think Mr. Lu is a very disciplined person." "Disciplined?"
He Xin said coldly, "He wiped out all four major families." "It's simply lawless!"
The death of the four major families did not cause much disturbance in Hong Kong Island.
Public opinion has been suppressed.
Secondly,
The citizens of Hong Kong Island found that the demise of the four great families didn't seem to have much of an impact on them...everyone was just doing the same as before!
In addition, the Hong Kong government also tacitly did not get angry about this matter. ... All these things,
The death of the four major families naturally did not cause any big stir. However,
He Xin is different...
He had every reason to believe that
The four major families must have been killed by Lu Wendong!
Li Shurong, who had colluded with him, had already fled to London in fear and dared not come back! How could He Xin dare to go back?
Before, Lu Wendong didn't have the power to cover the sky with one hand, but he dared to be so domineering.
Now he controls the triads in Gaoding and Haojiang, with hundreds of thousands of troops under his command!
Then, would it be as easy to disappear as to kill a grasshopper? As the old saying goes,
Keeping the green hills, you don’t have to worry about having no firewood.
What is this green mountain? It is your life!
Gao Ming whispered: "Brother Xin..." "No need to say."
He Xin said firmly: "I, He Xin, a hero in my life, will never bow to Lu Wendong!"
Gao Ming quickly ran over to answer the phone, and after listening for a while,
He immediately stuttered, "Yes, yes..." Gao Ming stared blankly at He Xin.
He said weakly: "Brother Xin, it's Mr. Lu's call."
There are many people with the surname Lu around the world, but in high society, there is only one Mr. Lu!
He Xin quickly ran to the table and took the phone.
He then took a deep breath.
A humble smile appeared on his face: "Hello, Mr. Lu, I am He Xin." Gao Ming beside him was already used to it.
Instead, he took the opportunity to step back several steps. "Hello, Mr. He."
On the phone,
Lu Wendong said leisurely, "It's not easy to find your phone number." Actually, it's very easy...
It only took a phone call.
Lu Wendong got He Xin's phone number in Lisbon, which means,
He could always grasp He Xin's every move. He Xin, realizing this, was suddenly horrified.
He quickly said respectfully, "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry."
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."
Lu Wendong said, "I heard that Mr. He is in Lisbon. Is he planning to develop there or go on vacation?" "Vacation, vacation."
Although He Xin's heart was filled with bitterness, his mouth was very hard.
He smiled apologetically and said, "My wife missed Lisbon a little, so I came back with her." "They say Mr. He loves his wife."
Lu Wendong praised,
Then he added, "Christmas is over."
"If Mr. He has nothing else to do, I would like to invite him to come to Santo Domingo." "I will definitely make a bed for you!"
Snap!
He Xin's face immediately fell into a state of bewilderment.
Sometimes white, sometimes red,
It looks fantastic. "New brother?"
Gao Ming asked cautiously, "Mr. Lu, is there something wrong?"
When someone calls for no reason, everyone knows something's wrong.
He Xin, with a gloomy expression, asked, "Where is the young lady?"
Lu Wendong is looking at information about Pennsylvania, also known as the Keystone State.
Because it connects the South and North of America,
It is also an important transportation route between the coastal areas and the Midwest.
Pennsylvania was once the core area of industries such as railways, steel, cement, chemicals, and petroleum. Its population was once the second largest in the United States.
Philadelphia, under its name, also became the second largest city in the United States after New York.
In the first half of the 20th century, with the rise of automobiles,
This has led to continued explosive growth in Pennsylvania's oil industry, allowing it to maintain its position as an industrial leader.
only,
After entering the 60s and 70s,
With the end of the Bretton Woods system and the disappearance of the gold standard,
America's traditional industries are beginning to face competition threats from emerging countries around the world. Coupled with increasingly stringent environmental laws and rising labor costs, traditional industries such as cement and steel are rapidly declining.
This led to a rapid loss of industrial jobs in Pennsylvania.
This has also had a direct impact on Pennsylvania's resource industries, such as oil and coal.
A large number of industrial workers and miners lost their jobs.
This led to the counter-urbanization process in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh.
Pennsylvania also accepted a large number of foreign immigrants.
Among them, the Hans are the most numerous.
Next are the Irish and Italians.
Now, due to the continued decline of the inner cities of these major cities, a large number of unemployed people have begun to turn to gangs...
For Lu Wendong, this place is a hot land.
Of course, he didn't mean to go there to develop the underworld... but,
Right now, Pennsylvania is facing massive bankruptcies and unemployment, and the people in the state are filled with resentment.
One of the political consequences is that this state is turning into a swing state in the election!
As the old saying goes, when you get one thing, you want more!
Even if it's just to save Dominica,
Lu Wendong also needs to exert his influence in America. Lu isn't interested in any industrial innovation in America; at best, he'll just buy shares in American-related companies...
Lu Wendong's greatest interest is American politics!
The United States practices a multi-party democracy. In theory,
Every party has the opportunity to come to power.
Theory is theory, over the years,
The US actually implements a 25-day two-party rotation system.
