In mid-May, the temperature in Guangzhou increased rapidly, breaking through 35 degrees in one fell swoop and continuing towards 40 degrees.
All this makes people wonder whether the predictions of 2012 are true.
Starting at eight o'clock in the morning, luxury cars drove towards the wealthy area of Ersha Island. By nine o'clock, with the villa in the center of Ersha Island as the center, the surrounding roads were full of cars of all kinds parked.
Various luxury cars.
The owners of those cars come from all over the southern half of the country, and their owners are all powerful figures in the underworld in the southern half of the country, and are also core figures of the Qinggang.
Almost all the underworld tycoons in the southern half of the country gathered on Ersha Island, which meant that the annual Youth Gang Conference was held again.
In a sense, there is a certain reason why the Qinggang can be called a gang empire.
Although it is not managed according to the world's most advanced Japanese gang association management model, it does have a strict system.
In addition to the leader Xue Hu, the entire Qinggang also has a Council of Elders composed of six elders, and a Qinggang Committee composed of top shopkeepers from various places.
The heads of provinces, important cities and some Baidao business leaders are members of the Qinggang Committee, while Xue Hu and six other elders are the standing committee members of the Qinggang Committee.
In a sense, the Qinggang's management model somewhat imitates the model of the ruling and opposition parties.
The so-called Youth Gang Conference is the abbreviation of the Youth Gang Committee Meeting.
Some resolutions involving the survival of the Youth Gang need to be decided through meetings of the Youth Gang Committee, while some major matters need to be negotiated and decided by the seven standing committee members of the Youth Gang Committee.
Every year in mid-May, the Youth Gang will hold a meeting to summarize the major events that have occurred in the gang over the past year, formulate some new development directions, etc.
At nine o'clock, in the underground meeting room of the villa where Xue Hu lived, all members of the Youth Gang Committee, including Xue Hu and the six elders, gathered together.
Unlike last year's full house, this year's conference had several familiar figures who were not present.
For example, the first seat under the rostrum is empty.
That seat once belonged to Xue Qiang, the prince of the Qing Gang.
In addition, Zhao Tianba, who attended the meeting last year as the chief shopkeeper of Zhejiang Province, Hong Wangye, Hong Lie, who attended the meeting as the head of the Qinggang drug gang and the chief shopkeeper of Yunnan Province, Kong Xi, who attended the meeting as the head of the underground bank and jade business,
None of the four people, including the Qing Gang's top shopkeeper Donghai, came to attend the meeting.
They were sent into the urn by the butcher!
Maybe it was because he saw those empty seats, or maybe Xue Hu's face on the podium was too gloomy, but other people attending the meeting had solemn expressions on their faces, and the whole meeting was eerily quiet.
After a long time, the only old man on the rostrum who wore glasses and exuded an elegant atmosphere took the microphone in front of him and slowly said: "Everyone, after a year, the Youth Gang Committee meeting was held as scheduled. Below
, the first item of the meeting is to pay homage to Mr. Guan!"
"Whoa!"
After hearing the old man's words, everyone, including Xue Hu, stood up immediately, walked to the statue of Mr. Guan in front of the rostrum with serious faces, and stood one after another.
Among them, the seven standing committee members headed by Xue Hu stood in a pyramid formation, while the other members stood in two rows according to their status.
Bow and burn incense!
During the entire worship ceremony, no one dared to speak, and everyone had a serious expression.
Because this is the most solemn ceremony of the Qinggang, no one dares to care, at least... on the surface!
After the short worship ceremony, everyone went back to their respective places.
The elegant old man Liu Canghai, who is an elder of the Youth Gang and one of the seven standing committee members, once again held the microphone in front of him and said: "The second item of the meeting is for the leader to summarize the situation of the gang in the past year and make plans for the next one.
The plan will be deployed in 2020.”
"Pop!"
After Liu Canghai finished speaking, everyone applauded.
At the same time, Xue Hu, who had gray hair and a gloomy face, took the microphone in front of him, picked up the speech he had prepared, and read it out in a low voice.
The reading process was dull and long, but no one dared to take a stand without authorization, not even a smoker. The atmosphere in the entire conference room seemed extremely serious, and the venue discipline was more serious than that of some institutional meetings.
After a long hour, Xue Hu finished reading the several-page summary report and gave instructions on the policies and development trends for the next year.
"The third item of the meeting is to be discussed by all members."
Seeing Xue Hu finish reading the summary report, Liu Canghai spoke again.
In previous years, when it was time for all-member discussions, the big shopkeepers from various provinces and the elders of the Presbytery would rush to express their opinions or question some of the gang's decisions.
This year is different from previous years - after Liu Canghai's words fell, the conference room fell into an eerie silence. No one stood up to express their opinions. Everyone could not help but cast their eyes on Xue Hu, who was in the center of the rostrum.
Everyone knows that the past year was an extremely important year for the Qinggang.
In the past year, the Qing Gang's carefully planned plan to rob the East Beach came to nothing. The Qing Gang was kicked out of the East China Sea by the Red Bamboo Gang. In addition, the Hangzhou branch was bloodbathed once last year, and two
Tianqian was even taken away by Chen Fan at lightning speed, which can be said to be a heavy loss.
In comparison, the death of Xue Qiang, the prince of the Qinggang Gang, is even more important.
Because everyone knows very well how much effort Xue Hu has invested in Xue Qiang.
It is no exaggeration to say that Xue Qiang is Xue Hu’s designated ***!
Even if the Prince of the Qing Gang dies, what matters most to the big shopkeepers of the provinces and the elders of the Presbytery is that the Qing Gang has now established a terrifying enemy: Chen Fan.
It is no exaggeration to say that they bloodbathed the Hangzhou branch, purged Yunnan, beheaded Xue Qiang, slapped the Yan family in the political world, completely disgraced the Chen family in the military world, and snatched Chen Fan from Zhejiang with lightning speed.
, is a worry that all the Qinggang gangsters have.
Chen Fan was like a big mountain weighing on their hearts, making it difficult for them to sleep or eat well.
"Everyone." When the venue fell into a deathlike silence, an old man wearing a silk gown sitting next to Xue Hu took a sip of tea and slowly said: "Previously, the head has already conducted a review of the past year.
Now that I have concluded, let me share my own views.”
"Whoa!"
As soon as the old man said these words, he immediately attracted the attention of everyone in the audience.
There are many factions.
This exists among the ruling and opposition parties, as well as among the Youth Gang who imitate the management system of the ruling and opposition parties.
In the Qinggang, Xue Hu, as the leader, controls the Maple Leaf Organization and the terrifying Baidao network, and is considered the absolute leader. In addition, the power of the Elders' House is not small.
The purpose of the Presbytery is to supervise the head.
Even if the actions of the leader affect the development of the Qinggang and cause the Qinggang to fall into a desperate situation, the Council of Elders has the right to remove the leader and elect a new leader!
Of course, if you want to remove him, you need the collective consent of the six elders.
Remove the leader!
This is the greatest power of the Presbytery.
However, in all the years the Qing Gang has been in existence, this kind of thing has never happened.
Because...the leader not only controls Maple Leaf, which has the most terrifying combat power, and the Baidao network known as the protective umbrella, but also controls a small half of the elders in the Elders' House.
For example, Liu Canghai, the head of the Qinggang Baidao who spoke before, was one of the puppets in Xue Hu's hands. He was sent to the Elders' House by Xue Hu.
Liu Canghai was a puppet in Xue Hu's hands, but the old man who spoke at this moment was not.
On the contrary, Wang Hong, a veteran of the Qing Gang, is the most powerful person in the Qing Gang besides Xue Hu and the leader of the Wang family faction!
Great Elder.
This is Wang Hong's name in the hearts of many people in the Qinggang.
In the minds of many people, Wang Hong is more noble than other elders.
"Previously, the boss said in the summary that in the past year, due to our cooperation with the Japanese Yamaguchi Group to carry out smuggling business of cars, electrical appliances, etc., plus the underground banks on the Yunnan border, the jade business has become more and more prosperous, and the overall revenue has increased compared with the previous year.
Wang Hong, the second-largest member of the Qinggang, said calmly: "However, as we all know, in the past year, we lost half of the East China Sea and one Zhejiang, and the Baidao business also suffered a huge impact. I personally think
, in the long run, our losses far outweigh our gains - last year was a disaster for the Youth Gang!"
disaster!
Upon hearing these two words, everyone's expressions, including Xue Hu's, changed subtly.
Among them, under the rostrum, the big shopkeepers from all over the world kept looking between Xue Hu and Wang Hong.
They knew very well that Wang Hong and Xue Hu, as the great elders, had always been at odds with each other and almost had a power struggle.
In order to weaken Wang Hong's influence and power in the Qinggang, Xue Hu sent Wang Hong to Southeast Asia to take charge of Southeast Asian affairs.
At the same time, Xue Hu used the power in his hands to strongly weaken the influence of members of the Wang family faction in the Green Gang. However, Wang Hong did not sit still and wait for death. Instead, he used the shortest possible time to infiltrate members of the Wang family faction into Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia.
Faced with all this, Xue Hu sent Xue Qiang to Southeast Asia last year after Xue Qiang provoked Chen Fan. On the one hand, he was plating gold, and on the other hand, he was weakening Wang Hong's power.
Perhaps because he did not want to fall out with Xue Hu too early, Wang Hong asked Xue Qiang to achieve the goal of gilding, but the goal of weakening the Wang family faction was far from being achieved.
In the eyes of many Qing Gang bosses, Wang Hong did not establish himself as king, partly because the Qing Gang only established a foothold in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia, where gangs are everywhere.
The gap between half of the country is huge, and the other half is because the Qing Gang has been frequently attacked in those places. If Xue Hu had not sent Maple Leaf to retaliate and intimidate, it would still be a question whether the Qing Gang's branches in Hong Kong, Macao, Taiwan and Southeast Asia could be preserved until now.
.
His eyes showed the changes in everyone's expressions. Wang Hong looked serious and continued to say word by word: "Maybe some people think my words are a bit serious, but in my opinion, provoking someone who can fight against the Yan family in the political world and the military
The enemies of the Chen family are definitely a nightmare for us!!"
Nightmare??
Yes!
The same answer came to everyone's mind.
…
***: This is the first update today, and it is also the 500th chapter of King of Heaven, and the first 500th chapter of Crazy since writing the book.
The first time is of great significance.
So, with my cold getting better, I decided to express something tonight.
