Every U.S. presidential election is always like a national speech conference. Candidates are touring every state in the United States, promising every voter that they will bring them a better life and employment.
Chance.
In addition, there are television speeches and various media exposures, which require huge amounts of money to support. It is absolutely a big joke to run for president in the United States without money.
Therefore, except for the earliest presidents in the United States in Washington, all subsequent presidential campaigns have always had a large team of think tanks serving them, and certain consortiums have provided huge campaign funds to the candidates.
As the saying goes, governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, and running a presidential election is like that. To put it bluntly, the election of the boss of this underworld is similar to it.
In foreign countries, organized gangs have always been based on the illegal intake of black income. Only a strict gang system and the distribution of benefits with clear rewards and punishments can make the organization develop and grow.
For example, the Mexican mafia mainly deals in drug trafficking and occasionally participates in the human smuggling business. The Canadian mafia that has penetrated into the United States mostly operates in the pornography and processing industries, and drugs also provide their income.
One of the main sources.
Although these gangs also have a pyramid system, and the huge wealth is often controlled by a very small number of people, it is undeniable that even ordinary gang members can enjoy treatment that far exceeds that of white-collar workers in the company.
Of course, they paid for these benefits at the cost of their lives or freedom, so any leader in a gang will not and dare not easily touch the interests of the gang's grassroots members, and will try to improve their treatment as much as possible.
, all of which require a lot of money as a basis.
For super gangs like the Hongmen, which have existed for hundreds of years and have hundreds of thousands of members, the role of money is even more important, because many of the gangs themselves are running some profitable industries, and use the money from these industries to
The huge profits generated are maintaining their status.
If those in power cannot bring them more substantial benefits, then even a super boss like Lei Zhenyue in Hongmen will not be able to get their support. What's more, Lei Hu is only Lei Zhenyue's son and has no prestige.
Not enough to convince the public.
Lei Zhenyue originally thought that relying on his own prestige, his son could successfully ascend to the throne, but later he discovered that although all the big guys in Hongmen respected him, no one bought it in this matter.
What the elderly fear most is that they are not taken seriously. The attitude of the elders in the sect made the old and strong Lei Zhenyue feel uncomfortable. Elder Lei, who had never been selfish in his life, held a breath in his heart and resolutely wanted to
Send his son Lei Hu to the position of leader of Hongmen.
The first sect rule in the Hongmen is to strictly prohibit members of the same sect from killing each other. Therefore, although Lei Zhenyue is still in charge of the most elite armed force in the Hongmen, he cannot use it to help his son ascend to the throne of the sect leader. He can only
Follow the rules, so at this time, strong financial resources become crucial.
In fact, based on the relationship between Lei Zhenyue and the Song family, as long as he makes a request, the Song family will definitely support it, which in itself is in line with the interests of the overseas Song family.
But the strange thing is that Song Weilan basically stayed in China for the last year, leaving the group's affairs to her most trusted subordinates, and looking for a trustworthy custody fund.
There are a lot less contacts.
Lei Zhenyue once sent two invitations to Song Weilan. Song Weilan did not go to the United States, but asked his subordinates to handle it as appropriate.
However, the funds Lei Zhenyue needed were quite huge, and the professional managers under her had no authority to allocate them. So they naturally rejected Lei Zhenyue's request, and did not report the matter to Song Weilan afterwards.
Professional managers just regard Lei Zhenyue as an old scoundrel who is fighting the autumn wind.
Lei Zhenyue was furious when he was rejected. Coupled with the deliberate instigation of some Song family children, he did not seek confirmation from Song Weilan or Song Haotian, but prepared to teach Song Weilan, his ungrateful niece, a lesson in his own way.
That trust fund was arranged by Song Xiaolong, and then Lei Zhenyue recommended it to Song Weilan. Song Weilan, who was not at all prepared for Lei Zhenyue, decided on it.
After tens of billions of dollars of investment, and through various means, this huge amount of funds was transferred to a company controlled by Song Xiaolong and others in a reasonable and legal manner. It was precisely because of this incident that Song Weilan rushed to the United States.
, I want to explain to Lei Zhenyue face to face.
After listening to Du Fei's explanation, Ye Tian pondered for a while and asked, "Mom, can the money lost on this investment be recovered?"
Song Weilan shook her head and said: "I can't get it back, 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 clearly to Uncle Lei. After all, the Lei and Song families have been friends for more than half a century, so this money should be treated as mom's."
Let’s make some compensation to Uncle Lei.”
For Song Weilan, since she decided to quit the business world and become a good wife and mother, money and career are really not very important to her. The reason why she still has nostalgia for the business empire she built is just out of a desire.
It's just a responsibility to let those who followed her to conquer the world have a good destination.
"Weilan, I don't think you need to see Uncle Lei. In fact, after this incident, I visited him and explained the matter. However, for him, what has been done is absolutely unacceptable.
I will regret it again, even if it is a mistake, I will go all the way to the dark side."
Du Fei is Lei Zhenyue's nephew and knows his character very well. Older people like them value face above all else. It is almost impossible to want him to apologize to Song Weilan. Even if Song Weilan sees her
Lei Zhenyue, I'm afraid it won't help.
"The road has gone to the dark side? What's wrong, you still want to leave my mother here?"
After hearing Du Fei's words, Ye Tian's pupils couldn't help but shrink. Ever since he arrived in the United States, he had a sense of crisis. Unexpectedly, the danger came from Hongmen, which made Ye Tian feel quite unhappy.
"I know a little about the agreement between Song Xiaolong and Lei Hu. They want your mother to hand over all the shares that belong to her, and then the two of them will share the shares equally, while Song Xiaolong will be in charge of the company..."
Du Fei sighed, looked at Song Weilan and said, "I didn't let you come before because I was afraid they would put you under house arrest. It's better for you to join in yourself."
No matter how clean Hongmen is now, they still can't escape the rules of the Jianghu gang. At some point, they will not hesitate to use some means to achieve their goals, even though those means are very shady.
Du Fei had lived with Song Haotian for a period of time since he was a child, and his relationship with the Song family was closer than that of Lei Zhenyue. He didn't know about this before, but now that he knew it, he sided with Song Weilan without hesitation.
"Put my mother under house arrest? Who wants to do this?" Ye Tian heard the words and sneered, "Did Lei Zhenyue, Lei Hu, or Song Xiaolong propose it?"
People have reverse scales. For Ye Tian, his reverse scales are his family members. Lei Zhenyue set up Song Weilan for money. Ye Tian was not very angry, but if he wanted to hurt Song Weilan, he would definitely have violated Ye Tian's
Big taboo.
Du Fei thought for a moment and said, "Song Xiaolong brought it up. He and Lei Hu planned this matter. Uncle Lei may not know about it."
"How did this child Xiaolong become like this?"
Song Weilan is also a person who has seen strong winds and waves. When she was in the ups and downs of the business world in her early years, she has experienced more dangerous environments than now. She is not afraid, but a little sad.
You know, Song Xiaolong lived with Song Weilan when he was very young. At that time, Song Weilan devoted all her longing and affection for her son to Song Xiaolong. It can be said that she treated him like her own son.
But Song Weilan never expected that Song Xiaolong first plotted against his son, and now he actually plotted against himself. 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 man's original sins."
Seeing his mother's sad look, Ye Tian gently put his arm around Song Weilan's shoulders, turned to look at Du Fei, and asked, "Is Song Xiaolong in San Francisco? Where are Lei Hu and the others?"
"Song Xiaolong left San Francisco the day before when he heard that you were coming. Judging from his flight itinerary, he should be returning to Africa."
If the news about scheming against his aunt with outsiders spreads out, even if Song Xiaolong can obtain those shares, it will be difficult for him to fully control the business empire. After all, many people in important positions in this consortium followed Song Weilan to conquer the world.
old minister.
Although none of these people are the core leaders of the consortium, their combined power is enough to cause the business kingdom to collapse instantly. This consequence is something Song Xiaolong cannot bear, so he must hide in Africa when Song Weilan's accident happens.
To avoid suspicion.
"Where is Thunder Tiger?" Ye Tianzhui asked.
"Master, what do you want to do?"
Hearing Ye Tian's second inquiry about Lei Hu, Du Fei became a little nervous, "Lei Hu is now the master of the Hongmen Punishment Hall. Young Master, I know you are very powerful in kung fu, but no matter how powerful you are,
Are you no match for the hundreds of thousands of Hongmen disciples?"
"I don't want to do anything..."
Ye Tian waved his hand, looked at Du Fei who looked nervous, and said, "I want to fulfill my master's last wish and join Hongmen!"
