Old Nick told me bit by bit, which really opened my eyes. His words really touched me a lot.
"The mafia, the mafia families in Italy can be called the mafia, the major families in the United States can be called the mafia, and the Yamaguchi-gumi in Japan can be called the mafia. Of course, the only one in China who can be worthy of the word mafia is Hongmen.
Nothing else”
"The Mafia in those days could directly influence some government legislation. This ability could be considered to have reached a certain level. However, the major family chaebols in the United States even needed their support from the government and senior officials. Do you think this is considered a mafia?
Reached a certain height”
"Japan's Yamaguchi-gumi is even more famous around the world. They are also the only gang organization in the world that is legally recognized by the country and government. Such gangs are the authentic gangsters. The World War II even directly affected some important decisions. The so-called
Right-wingers have a lot to do with them.”
I asked casually, "Then you just mentioned China's Hongmen..."
Old Nick glanced at me lightly, "China's Hongmen, as a Chinese, you must have heard of it before. I don't need to go into details. This ancient Chinese sect has many important things behind it in modern times."
Their shadows, and they can be regarded as the originators of your Chinese gangs."
I nodded. Of course I have heard of the Hongmen name for a long time. I think many people have heard about them. In the Qing Dynasty, their predecessor was the so-called "Tiandihui". This is not made up in novels. This organization is indeed
Yes, it existed. Of course, it started with the slogan of opposing the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty, but later it changed and gradually evolved into the Hongmen gangster organization.
I asked tentatively: "Mr. Nick, what about you? You are the well-deserved godfather of Thailand."
Nick smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly and pointed at his nose and said, "Me? I'm just making a living in Thailand."
I was a little uncomfortable with Nick's self-deprecating tone. Nick then pointed at me and said unceremoniously: "And you, at best, are now a beggar, a beggar in the underground world of Thailand!"
You're just a beggar at best! Old Nick's unceremonious words hit my heart deeply every word. I felt a little angry and put out the cigarette butt in my hand fiercely on the table.
"Mr. Nick, what you said is too rude. You said that I, Xiao Bo, and the Poison family behind me are begging for food in Thailand?" My tone was a little unkind.
Nick didn't care about my anger at all. He didn't even look at me. He said calmly: "Not being calm enough and being irritable are fatal weaknesses. People like you can't achieve great things."
Yes, besides Xiao Bo, do you think your strength can defeat me?"
After Nick said the last words, he suddenly raised his head and stared into my eyes. For a moment, his eyes flashed with sharp eyes. I suddenly felt like something was pressing on my heart. Old Nick's momentum was too strong, and I was attracted by him.
It was a bit depressing.
My palms were full of sweat, and I knew I was a little nervous. After all, I was just an ordinary person selling fast food in China a few months ago, while Old Nick has been the godfather of Thailand for decades.
There is a huge difference between me and him, both in terms of strength and momentum. If I hadn't held on, to be honest, I might have been crushed to the ground by his momentum.
This is not an exaggeration. Just like a new employee facing the immediate boss of the company, or a local official facing the national leader, there will be subtle and invisible pressure.
In such a small space, facing the strongest opponent I have ever encountered, I said every word after careful thought. I am simply more tired now than a big battle. This is a silent battle. duel.
Nick has been calm and unhurried throughout the whole process. On the other hand, I have been very passive, almost being led emotionally by Nick. This person is really terrible. There is no threat at all, but there is a threat to me everywhere, and But he still looked like a very gentleman.
Sure enough, after being a Thai godfather for many years, Nick is so extraordinary. Whether it is his momentum, his methods, or his wisdom and slight confidence in his words, it makes me feel a little powerless.
There is a feeling of being completely helpless, as if I am not facing a single person, but like a huge mountain that I am powerless to shake!
I silently took a deep breath, tried my best to calm down my heart, and then slowly sat upright. I changed to a slightly backward position, which allowed me to relax a little.
"You're right, I am indeed too impulsive," I said calmly.
Nick handed me a cigar. I didn't refuse this time. I took it and lit it. Old Nick raised his hand, and his subordinates immediately understood and quickly walked to a cabinet in the study. I took a look and probably It was a wine cabinet or something like that. There were several bottles of wine in it. The man opened it and brought out a bottle of wine and two glasses. He opened the wine and poured one glass for Nick and another for me.
"Try it, my collection" Nick invited me to drink in a very gentlemanly manner.
I picked up the wine glass and took a careful sip. The faint bitter taste made my heart calm down.
"Mr. Nick, I'm a person who doesn't like to beat around the bush, so why don't you just tell me your purpose of inviting me here this time?" I finally spoke and got straight to the point.
Nick held the wine glass in his hand and gently swayed the wine left and right. After a few seconds, he said in a very casual tone: "Mr. Xiao has mastered the Golden Triangle now. Such a large supply of goods makes people a little envious. "
My heart tightened, and sure enough, after all, I still had the idea of the Golden Triangle, otherwise I wouldn't have anything worthy of the attention of someone like him now.
I prepared my tone for a while before speaking: "Mr. Nick, the Golden Triangle is indeed a piece of fat, but it is also very dangerous. You contacted us last time, and I agreed to give you 10% of the profits. I think we are friends.”
Nick was completely unmoved, staring at the wine glass in his hand, and his tone was still so calm, "10%? I want 50%. What do you think?"
After saying that, I looked at me, I controlled my violent emotions, and said hesitantly like a businessman: "50%, it's not impossible, everyone is for profit, what's the benefit for me? If I think it can be 50%, I can do it. for you"
I really think so, I am willing to give up even 50%, as long as I can get corresponding valuable things. Drugs are really too hot. If our drug family dominates this cake alone, sooner or later we will be buried together.
If I can exchange 50% with Nick for other corresponding paths, not only can we find a long-term development path for our family, but Nick can also relieve me of the pressure.
Nick put down the wine glass in his hand, stared at me carefully and said, "Benefit? I will give you a way to survive in the future and give you a chance to beg for food in this land."
This sentence came out of Nick's mouth, with a serious tone, as if it was a very formal matter, and it felt like it had benefited me greatly.
"Bang" the wine glass in my hand shattered, and my hand was cut open due to excessive force.
"Bang" I slapped my hand on the table.
"Nick, you are being too deceptive..." I was completely furious. Nick was an unceremonious insult to me!
Nick’s men were about to take action, so I said with some mockery: “Are you going to ask someone to hold dozens of guns against my head, and then wait for me to agree, or else you will throw me to feed the lions?
"
"Mr. Xiao is serious..." Nick shook his head and said with a relaxed expression.
I groaned, "Nick, Xiao Bo has recorded the insult you gave me today! But if you really dare to leave me here today, everyone in my poisonous family will bloodbath your manor tomorrow. I know
Maybe our strength is not as strong as yours, but I am sure that every one of them will fight for their lives!"
Nick shook his head as if with some regret, "Xiao Bo, do you really want to be my enemy? I told you, my enemies will eventually become pet food..."
I stared into Nick's eyes without giving in and said word by word: "Then I will tell you now, anyone who is an enemy of our Poison family will pay the price!"
"Okay, okay, good words will come at a price. Young man, I'm waiting for you. I will never show mercy next time we meet." Nick clapped his hands and said two good words in succession.
I ignored him and said sullenly, "Abu, let's go." Before leaving, I took a deep look at Old Nick.
