After everyone added other information about Boss Pi and his group, they chatted about the other gangs active in the area that they also learned about when they got to know Boss Pi.
In Shanghai, gangs have indeed penetrated into every aspect. There is not a big area around here, but there are still several gangs that are similar in power to Boss Pi and his gang.
Of course, this does not include some of the intermediaries and broker groups that cooperate with Pi Boss. However, these gangs have a stricter organizational structure. They are normal gangs that make a living by operating black and gray products. Therefore, Pi Boss and
Counting the people behind it, they are not dishonest.
One group runs brothels, gambling stalls, opium dens, etc. They worship Zhang Daxiang as an old man, but they are a peripheral affiliate. They pay tribute to the other party for cover. After all, these are hugely profitable businesses, and they operate low- to medium-end businesses.
, and mainly low-end, high-end places, this group of people are not qualified to intervene.
The boss, whose surname is Guo, is cunning and shrewd, and is ruthless in his actions. He currently has some dealings with the Japanese, but his status is vague and unclear. It is not clear whether he has defected to Japan, and there is no movement among his subordinates.
Another group of people, the boss’s surname is Xu, used to be a manure tyrant in this area. Currently, they have a monopoly on garbage removal, sanitation and related charges in this area. They also monopolize the wholesale of vegetables in this area, but this time
They can only wholesale business from others, which is considered regional distribution, but the overall benefits of these businesses are not low at all.
Although the businesses involved in this group of people are not very popular, and the profit margins are not high, they are all small and steady businesses, and the profits combined together are extremely considerable.
These people can be regarded as a local land-based force. They had arranged work such as dung cleaning in the early days and gradually developed. They are not the same as the mainstream of the Qing Gang who came ashore from the Cao Gang. However, the Qing Gang is powerful, so they worshiped the big gangsters of the Qing Gang.
Being an old man has given him the appearance of being a member of the Green Gang.
They are not very interested in the Sino-Japanese war and gang siding, so there is no news that they are involved. However, these people have close ties with similar forces in other areas of Shanghai, so they can be roughly classified as one.
A loose alliance of forces within and outside the Shanghai Concession.
With great power, it is impossible to stay out of these battles, so the people above them are inevitably involved. And those in the Japanese sphere of influence such as Hongkou, Zhabei, and the East District of the Public Concession all turned to the Japanese.
, those who do not reverse will either be annexed or expelled, which are covered in the information read on the ship.
The third group, the boss’s surname is Chen, is a group of outsiders. Before entering Shanghai, they gathered a group of backbones and accumulated a primitive capital by traveling around to steal and plunder.
At first I just heard about how prosperous Shanghai is, and wanted to come over to have a look and have some fun, and do some work here, but eventually I became obsessed with this colorful world, and I saw that Shanghai was also in chaos, with various gangs running rampant, thinking
It's not a problem to move around, so I simply decided to stay.
However, these few people are still smart. They did not rush in to kill the generals. Instead, they pretended to be refugees and pretended to be living in poverty, so they lived on the streets, engaging in secret robbery, extortion and extortion.
Gradually, small groups developed.
After gathering a group of people, the leader of the group became a disciple of a big gangster, and then he brought these people together to form a gang force. He thought he would be able to flex his muscles, but
The reality is very basic.
Profits-profiting businesses are the preserve of big forces, with huge and stable profits. Most of them are monopolized by landowners or some old forces have been working for many years. These people cannot compete with the courage of ordinary people, and even the ruthless characters they raise,
Maybe even more ruthless than themselves.
If you start by robbing, you naturally don’t have much business ability or patience. So when you look around, you find that you can only make a living by working in your old business and collecting nursing fees. The former is naturally impossible to do in person, and is usually supported by others.
Gangs that steal, loot, or simply prey on those who do these things in their turf.
As for the latter, they relied on the ruthlessness of the previous robbers to seize the nearby territory and were engaged in the business of collecting protection fees from shops and stall owners. It was largely because of this group that Pi Dapeng became famous.
was elected.
Apart from these, human trafficking, coercion and deception of women as secret traps, loan sharking, forced buying and selling, etc., anyway, these guys are basically involved in the business without capital, and these things are very similar to what happened to Pi Dapeng, and I can't see it.
They are used to this, so the conflict between the two sides is serious, and now they have clearly turned towards the Japanese.
The last group is a gang that has intervened and occupied most of the construction projects in this area, such as house construction, decoration and maintenance, and is involved in controlling most of the furniture, building materials, and even daily necessities businesses, focusing on business operations.
The boss, whose surname is Zhu, is a man of great integrity and righteousness. He sternly refused the Japanese's attempts to win over him, and he had a large number of subordinates. When Mr. Chen publicly messed with the Japanese, he directly pulled them over and pointed at them.
The other party was scolding, and the two parties almost started to fight directly.
Moreover, he is fair in dealing with things and has strict control over his subordinates. He also practices it himself. The money he earns does not leave much for himself or even his family to enjoy. Instead, most of the money he earns is used to solve troubles for his subordinates and even neighbors. The ordinary shops under his control,
The fees are quite low in Shanghai, just so people can afford to bury their deceased relatives and friends.
This gang force has the best reputation in this area, and it is not so much a gang as a guild involved in these industries. Most of its members are from these industries, but they are known as gangs.
in the name of protecting yourself.
"This eldest brother of my family is really not a Han man at all... Well... I... I am far worse than..." Zhu Sanbao also wanted to write a little more, but the result was that he was not good enough and made a big blush.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Lin Mo did not laugh, he nodded slightly and said with eyebrows: "If the facts are indeed as revealed, then he is indeed a senior worthy of respect, but if so,
I’m afraid his situation is not good!”
"...why...why?" Zhu Sanbao sounded a little confused. He felt that this was very good! Is there no problem?
"Let me ask you a question, which one of these forces do you think is most likely to completely fall to the Japanese and work for the other party wholeheartedly, or let others deal with it because of this?"
Lin Mo did not answer directly, but instead raised the question.
"...I think it's Boss Pi and his group... Captain Lin, although I have guessed your answer, I really can't understand it...and I don't want to believe it..."
Zhu Sanbao was a little depressed and low-spirited as he spoke. He felt grievances for the other party, but also felt sad for his own performance.
When Lin Mo saw this, he no longer pretended to be a pretense, and said directly: "If your surname is just a fake and a face-saving project, then the situation is not bad. As you judge, the worst thing is Pi."
Boss Zhu and these people will not have any big problems here.
Let’s talk about each family first! Boss Pi’s side has been targeted by all parties for more than ten years. Since they have not been touched, it means that all parties have recognized and acquiesced in their existence. Unless they are completely eliminated,
The pot will be smashed to pieces, otherwise the current situation will not be easily broken.
Although there may be many forces pushing behind the current incident, it is obviously not to that extent. The most likely thing is that the most popular people under Boss Pi have been punished and then exposed.
The Japanese forces will be eliminated and then continue to maintain the status quo. Boss Pi's group of people may be damaged or even turned into decorations, but they will never fall completely.
As for the others, Boss Guo and his gang are obviously outsiders. Although they are flirting with the Japanese, they are obviously still waiting to see the situation and waiting for the price. And until the situation develops to a certain extent, they will definitely still shirk it.
With his attitude of not taking a stand and taking no position, and his ruthless behavior, there are not many loopholes for people to take advantage of internally. For the time being, there is no need to worry that they will suddenly turn against the Japanese or something like that.
Boss Xu and his group, unless the Japanese sphere of influence has officially expanded here, can completely defeat the other party. Even if the top people vote for the other party, in this loose group, you can't say no to the other party! That's right!
It is absolutely possible to be obedient, to be lazy and not do things, or to delay things, etc. If you are not willing, you will not be able to do things for the other party wholeheartedly.
With his current attitude, there is a high probability that he will choose this way, and in this kind of local small and medium-sized gangs, problems such as inheritance, familialization, and consanguinity among internal members are common. In addition, there are pressures from other forces outside, and they are generally very united internally, and they will collapse from within.
Not much chance.
As for Mr. Chen, after listening to what I learned about the situation, do you feel that he is a man with arrogant ambitions and no integrity? On the surface, that seems to be the case, but there is another fact that I don’t know if you have noticed, that is, he once ran around and robbed people.
His story was exposed, and he was wanted by some of the cities he had plundered.
The timing of these two things happening is very special. It happened just before his statement. If we attribute this to an accident, it means that there is something wrong with our brains. Therefore, his current statement, actions, etc. are all flawed.
In fact, if you think about it carefully, he used to travel around to commit crimes. He should have a clear and clear understanding of the official power. Regarding this kind of thing, his attitude must be to avoid it if he can, and hide if he can.
They will never be willing to confront official forces, because they know very well that once they are involved, they will end up serving as cannon fodder.
Although this method is used to force the other party to surrender, it is just a joke to want them to do their best to work for him. Moreover, the core figures in this group are basically robbers who have committed crimes together. In this kind of crime,
During the event, it was easy for the boss to establish unshakable authority among the crowd, and it was unrealistic to try to make a fuss internally. So what made me more curious was what there was about him that made it worth the Japanese effort.
?
On Boss Zhu's side, people who are strict with themselves are often strict with their subordinates, which may attract some like-minded people, but he is obviously in the wrong line of work, and what he insists on is not what he insists on in the gang.
So timely.
There is no need to comment on the moral character of most gang members. For them, strict requirements are restraints, suppressions, and violations of their interests. There must be many people who are dissatisfied and want to change all this.
.
The profits in these industries they occupy are extremely generous. If you raise the price a little or cut corners a little, you can make a lot of money. There are so many benefits in front of you, but in the end you don't get much benefit. What do you think of them?
Can people be willing?
If Mr. Zhu was just trying to make clay sculptures look gold, the problem would not exist. But judging from the current situation, he should be serious, so some people within him are likely to rebel with the support of the Japanese.
, and then completely succumbed to the Japanese and became a lackey who obeyed their orders."
