"President, you are not in good health, why bother?" After hearing President Tang's words, Bai Huantian suddenly said something without any beginning or end, which made everyone a little confused.
No one had any reaction to Bai Zhentian's title. Within the Hongmen, some people called Tang Tianyou the leader, while others called him the president.
"Cough... cough cough..."
Tang Tianyou was about to speak, but he coughed violently. Many people saw that there was a trace of blood on the handkerchief that the president covered his mouth.
"President, that's it for now, the days ahead are long." Bai Zhentian took a few steps forward and gently patted Tang Tianyou on the back with his palm, allowing him to relax.
"You have a long way to go, but I don't have much time." Tang Tianyou smiled and waved his hands, with a trace of unhealthy red appearing on his face.
"This man is already terminally ill and there is no cure..."
Qin Feng, who was standing on the outside, shook his head. He was proficient in medical science and could tell at a glance that this person had injured the lung meridian, and the condition had spread to the whole body. According to modern medical skills, it was a dead end.
"President Tang is a very nice person."
Liu Zimo beside Qin Feng sighed. When he first joined Hongmen, he met him under the leadership of his second uncle. At that time, his condition was not so serious.
"I know all your thoughts!"
While Qin Feng and Liu Zimo were whispering, Tang Tianyou said: "You called me here today just to confirm the position of the sect leader, right?"
"President, yes!" Bai Bin broke one of Lu Yangjing's legs in public, and the two sides were already at loggerheads. After hearing what President Tang said, Shen Junhao took a step forward.
"President, according to the rules of the sect, to choose the president, five people from the eight halls must pass..." Another big boss from the hall also shouted.
"You are going to fight now."
Tang Tianyou's eyes swept over everyone like knives, and he said, "Where were you when Hongmen was developing its power? Why didn't any of you want to go there during the bloody battle in Detroit?
Why didn't any of you rush to go when I asked someone to resolve the dispute in Las Vegas? Why didn't you see you talking when Zhentian secured shares in the casino for Hongmen?"
After working hard for Hongmen all his life, seeing that in the end these old brothers started fighting among themselves for their own gain, Tang Tianyou was so heartbroken that he almost slapped his own thigh when he said these words.
"President, Hongmen has grown and developed under your leadership, and we old brothers are not all freeloaders, right?"
After hearing what Tang Tianyou said, Shen Junhao said: "I have been handling Hongmen's external affairs for so many years, and Brother Peng has been doing the internal rectification and management...
And Brother Cao is also indispensable for Hongmen to have such a huge family business. If you choose one of them to be the successor of the family, I, Shen, have nothing to say, but Zhentian is still a little behind.
Shen Junhao's meaning was very clear. Although Bai Zhentian worked hard and made great achievements, his qualifications were not enough. If he was allowed to become the boss of Hongmen, all the old brothers would be dissatisfied.
Of course, this is just a superficial excuse. In fact, Shen Junhao is afraid that after Bai Zhentian takes office, he will reallocate the asset management within Hongmen, and then he will lose a large amount of dividend income every year.
"Shan Chen, what do you think?" Tang Tianyou looked at Peng Shanchen, who was his direct descendant. He wanted to hear whether Peng Shanchen had different opinions.
Peng Shanchen lowered his head after hearing this and hesitated for a moment, then said: "President, I... I also think Zhentian is a bit young, and I'm afraid the people below will be dissatisfied."
Originally, Peng Shanchen didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he also had a group of people who wanted to eat. After being encouraged by a few others, he followed them in a daze.
"Shan Chen, you are almost seventy years old this year, right? How much energy do you think you still have to focus on Hongmen?"
Tang Tianyou sighed and said: "Old Shen and Brother Cao are both over seventy. Even if I let you become the president, how many years can you serve?"
"President, I have absolutely no intention of ascending to the throne."
Hearing Tang Tianyou's words, Peng Shanchen waved his hands repeatedly and said: "I...I came here this time because I was afraid that after Zhentian came to power, he would purge us old guys, but...
But I definitely have no intention of becoming the president!"
In fact, today's matter was mainly caused by Lu Yangjing, the former boss of the auditorium. He thought that he was the oldest in the Hongmen, and after Tang Tianyou, it was only natural that he should be the leader.
However, Lu Yangjing also understood that with Bai Zhentian standing there, the position of president would have nothing to do with him.
So Lu Yangjing united everyone and told them that Bai Zhentian was a radical man. If he was allowed to take office, he might take back the assets he manages and the dividends of various companies.
The youngest of the hall masters of each hall is over sixty. If it were just them, it really wouldn't matter, because the money they earn is already enough to support themselves in old age.
But these big guys still have a lot of people under them, and they have to think about their people, so Lu Yangjing was persuaded to go to the Bai family together, hoping to force Bai Zhentian to give up the family master concubine through Mr. Bai.
.
"Among the Hongmen, who can do things and who can't do anything, don't I know?"
Tang Tianyou coughed for a while, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and said, "You have made your decision, don't you agree with Zhentian as the next president?"
"Brother Tang, logically we should listen to you."
The person sitting on the left stood up and said: "But this matter is related to the future development of Hongmen. I can't just listen to your opinion. We old brothers should also have a say, right?"
Although Tang Tianyou was highly respected among the Hongmen, he had been ill for many years and basically did not care much about the specific affairs of the Hongmen. His prestige in the hearts of these old people had been reduced a lot.
In addition, it was related to their own interests, so no one was willing to bow their heads. Even Peng Shanchen turned his face slightly, not daring to face Tang Tianyou's gaze.
"You mean, there must be a vote?" Tang Tianyou had a sneer on his lips.
"Yes, President, Hongmen belongs to everyone, not to anyone?"
The bosses who had been silent just now spoke up now, because they were exactly what Tang Tianyou said were the people who had no choice but to use Hongmen's resources to fill their wallets.
Therefore, after Lu Yangjing secretly gave him the promise, these people were the most active. They were also afraid that Bai Zhentian would investigate the old accounts after he came to power and expose the shady things they had done.
However, Shen Junhao hesitated after hearing Tang Tianyou's words and said, "President, you can actually give Zhen Tian the position of vice president and let us old man take care of him for a few more years."
As the saying goes, the old tiger is still in his glory. Although Tang Tianyou is terminally ill, the current good situation in Hongmen was created by him. His methods are very comparable to others. Even a sick tiger cannot tolerate being bullied.
What's more, from beginning to end today, the old man of the Bai family has not uttered a word.
Shen Junhao has not forgotten the identity of Mr. Bai. He was the direct disciple of the sharpshooter Li Shuwen. When he was walking around the world, people like him were still playing in the mud.
"Brother Tang, what Lao Shen said makes sense. It's not that we are in love with this position, it's just that Zhentian is too young."
Peng Shanchen also said: "I have no objection to letting Brother Cao or Lao Shen be the president of the association. If the position is handed over to Zhentian in a few years, it will also be conducive to the stability of Hongmen...
"
"No, Bai Zhentian is cruel and ruthless, we cannot let him sit in the position of vice president!" At this time, Lu Yangjing, who had already sat back on the chair with a broken leg, spoke.
Lu Yangjing is also over seventy years old. He has been pampered and pampered over the years. He has never suffered such a loss. Therefore, he hates Bai Zhentian and Bai Bin to his bones, and his words are full of resentment.
"Brother Lu is right. He broke a leg over such a trivial matter. His character is really vicious."
"Yes, we cannot let Bai Zhentian become the vice president. I suggest that he also be removed from the position of the leader of the Loyalty Hall..."
After Lu Yangjing spoke, several other people immediately started making noises. They maintained their respect for their seniority, and they did not target Bai Bin in their words, so they were not afraid that he would hurt others.
"Zimo, what did Brother Bai do? Why are you so angry and resentful?"
Seeing that several hall masters unanimously opposed Bai Zhentian's ascension to the throne, Qin Feng couldn't help but shook his head. Bai Zhentian's internal relations were handled too badly, right?
"Actually, it's not Uncle Bai's fault." Liu Zimo lowered his voice and said, "Did you see that only seven of the big guys from the Eighth Hall came? Do you know where that one went?"
"Nonsense, I'm not from your Hongmen, how do I know?" Qin Feng glared at Liu Zimo angrily.
"Uncle Bai enforced the gang rules!"
Liu Zimo's voice became lower and lower, "That big boss was originally in charge of South American affairs. A few years ago, he smuggled more than 600 million U.S. dollars into Hongmen, and Uncle Bai found out. He even spit out the money, and he also confessed to others.
…”
It's not without reason that these people are so afraid of Bai Zhentian.
Bai Zhentian has always been a man who couldn't tolerate disgrace in his eyes. A few years ago, a big boss filled his own pockets and embezzled a large amount of Hongmen's public funds. This case was handed over to Bai Zhentian by Tang Tianyou to handle.
Bai Zhentian didn't hesitate. After he personally brought the big guy back from South America, he followed the sect's rules with three swords and six holes. The big guy, who was also in his sixties, died on the spot in the execution hall.
This incident caused a great commotion in Hongmen. Several other hall leaders accused Bai Zhentian of abusing lynching, but Tang Tianyou finally suppressed it.
There is a reason for being filled with righteous indignation. Speaking of which, none of the big guys here have clean butts.
Such a thing had happened before. How dare they let Bai Zhentian take the position? Wouldn't that be putting a knife on their own necks?
