"You guys can stay here tonight. I will arrange for someone to handle the handover with you early tomorrow morning..."
Tang Tianyou's words brought wry smiles to several people's faces. It seemed that the old president was still letting them go, for fear that he would cause other troubles after releasing them.
However, the situation is stronger than the people. Lu Yangjing and others knew in their hearts that if they just withdraw the money they had embezzled over the years, they would no longer be held accountable. Tang Tianyou had already done his best to benevolent and righteous.
As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. These people have been together in the world for a lifetime and naturally understand this truth. Even if they are unwilling to do so, they can only accept this result.
"Brother Shen and Brother Peng, please stay..." Seeing a few people walking out, Bai Zhentian said, "There are still some specific things to discuss with the two hall masters..."
Bai Zhentian entered the role very quickly and used words very cleverly - with just one title, his identity had already changed.
Lu Yangjing, Hall Master Fan and others looked at each other and knew that they would no longer have the right to speak in the decision-making level of Hongmen in the future, so they could only leave in anger.
As for Qi Laowu, he had already left the manor under the escort of several people. If he stayed in the United States, it would be like a time bomb and might involve the entire Hongmen.
In the high-level meeting, confidants like Chen Junhua around Bai Zhentian were not qualified to be present, and everyone left the room one after another.
"Cough... cough cough..."
"President, are you okay?"
Tang Tianyou, who was sitting on the chair, suddenly started coughing violently. It took a long time before he stopped. He shook his head and said, "Zhentian, you will be in charge here. I want to go back and take a rest!"
Tang Tianyou's body has been running out of gas in the past few years, and this time he even forced himself to attend with his illness. Now that the problem of internal strife in the Hongmen has been resolved, he can no longer hold on.
"Junhua, take the president to have a rest." Bai Zhentian nodded. Tang Tianyou has finished singing the previous play. At this moment, the overall situation has been decided, and there is no need for Tang Tianyou to stay to hold the show.
"Zimo, stay with him for a while..." After President Tang left, Bai Zhentian said that he would stay with Liu Zimo and Qin Feng, but he did not call out Qin Feng's name in front of everyone.
As soon as everyone dispersed, there were only a few people left in the originally huge room, and it suddenly seemed empty.
"President Bai, what are your orders?"
After the three swords and six holes incident just now, Peng Shanchen was convinced of Bai Zhentian. Although the Hongmen Conference had not yet been held to announce the change of chairman Zhi, he had already changed his mind.
"Brother Peng, I asked you to stay because I want to discuss the candidates for the vacant halls." Bai Zhentian smiled and said: "The two eldest brothers can put forward any candidates they have..."
Shen Junhao shook his head and said: "President, our group is all old, and some old brothers have to retire. I hope you, the president, will make the decision on the selection..."
No matter how the organization is organized, the person who can decide the position is the real boss. Shen Junhao and Peng Shanchen both understand this. Although they have some candidates in mind, they are determined not to propose them at this time.
"This is not good. If a person's rights are not restricted, there will definitely be problems."
Bai Zhentian shook his head and said: "Brothers, Zhentian is still young and may be impulsive in doing things, so it is not a bad thing to have a few naysayers..."
Cao Guoliang, who had been silent since the incident was settled, suddenly said: "Zhentian, I think Junhua is a good boy. After you take over, there will be a vacant seat in Zhongyi Hall, so let Junhua sit on it!"
As the two major armed organizations in Hongmen, one is the Xingtang and the other is the Zhongyitang. Cao Guoliang's move also allowed Bai Zhentian to tightly grasp these fighting forces.
"Brother Cao thinks the same as me."
Bai Zhentian nodded and said, "Junhua is capable enough, but I want to give him another deputy. Let's see how Zimo does?"
"I?"
Before the big bosses could speak, Liu Zimo was stunned. He had only been in the job for three or four years, and his qualifications were still relatively low. He had never thought about his rise to the top.
You must know that the deputy position of Tangkou is already a very high status in Hongmen. According to Liu Zimo's own previous estimation, he might be able to take the position in ten years.
"Isn't Zimo a little too young?"
Before anyone else could object, Mr. Bai, who was sitting at the top, spoke up. Although he had never met the grandson of his old friend, he had heard his son mention it several times.
"Father, Zimo contributed a lot to what happened in Las Vegas this time."
Faced with his father's inquiry, Bai Zhentian did not dare to be negligent and said: "Furthermore, Zimo has entered the level of Anjin cultivation. Not to mention the generation before, there are very few people in my generation who are like him."
The opponent..."
"What? Already entered the dark energy?"
Bai Bin looked at Liu Zimo and said, "No wonder I think this boy's energy is very strong. He has already broken through the threshold?"
Hongmen is a gangster organization. Although it has changed its tune in recent years and invested in many legitimate industries, most of the people present are from martial arts training. Naturally, they know what An Jin cultivation level represents?
Seventy or eighty years ago, the level of An Jin could be equated with that of a great master. The famous martial artists of that time, such as Sun Lutang, Li Jinglin, Li Shuwen, Shang Yunxiang, Zhang Ce, and Du Xinwu, were nothing more than An Jin.
.
Liu Zimo was able to break through this threshold in his early twenties. He was truly talented. Zhongyi Hall was originally a place that talked about personal martial arts. With Liu Zimo's skills, it didn't mean that he couldn't sit on the deputy hall leader's chair.
After being secretly kicked by Qin Feng, Liu Zimo came to his senses and said quickly: "Master, I just have reached the level of cultivation, but my experience is far behind that of your seniors."
"Kill a few more people, and you'll gain experience in everything."
Bai Bin walked up to Liu Zimo, sniffed him with his nose, and said, "Yes, I have seen blood. He deserves the position of deputy hall master..."
"Brother Shen and Brother Peng, what do you think?" Bai Zhentian looked at Shen and Peng. He didn't want to get a reputation of nepotism when he took office, which would not be conducive to his future control of Hongmen.
"We have no objection..."
Peng Shanchen said: "He is still young, and being the deputy hall master can give him some training. The future development of Hongmen will depend entirely on them."
There was some emotion in Peng Shanchen's words. Times were changing. They were already over fifty when they came to power. And Liu Zimo's youth could not help but make Peng Shanchen feel the changes that were about to happen in Hongmen.
"Brother Shen, I want Zhang Yuqing to be responsible for the affairs in Europe. What do you think?" Bai Zhentian said after finalizing Liu Zimo's affairs.
"Zhang Yuqing? He is quite good..."
Shen Junhao nodded hesitantly, for no other reason, because Yu Qing was his current deputy in this chapter. In terms of ability, there was no problem. But Shen Junhao was a little afraid that Bai Zhentian was trying to test him.
"Then it's Zhang Yuqing..." Bai Zhentian said: "Although there are not many affairs in the three outer sects, they still need manpower to take care of them. What do you think, Brother Cao?"
"Yes, but Zimo was trained by me and was poached by your boy." Cao Guoliang has a very close relationship with the Bai family. In addition, he is more than ten years older than Bai Zhentian, so he doesn't speak like Shen. The two of them were so restrained.
"It doesn't matter which hall the Hongmen family is in." Bai Zhentian chuckled and said, "The person in charge of South American affairs in the lower third hall should be Peng Siju from Brother Peng's side..."
"Ah? This can't be done..." After hearing Bai Zhentian's words, Peng Shanchen quickly waved his hands and said: "That guy's prestige is not enough to convince everyone, President, this is really impossible."
If it were someone else, Peng Shanchen would definitely not have such a big reaction, but Peng Siju is the eldest son in his family. The person Bai Zhentian is promoting is his own son.
"You can't say that." Bai Zhentian shook his head and said: "Brother Peng and my father have said that you should not avoid relatives when promoting talents. He is very capable. I think it is okay."
"this……"
Peng Shanchen hesitated after hearing this. People always have selfish motives. Peng Shanchen can only work for four or five years at most. Why doesn't he want his son to be in power?
"That's it."
Although the two people Bai Zhentian was talking about were one generation younger than him, they were almost the same age as him. They usually interacted with each other a lot, so they could be considered as one of his own.
"Well, if Si Ju can't do his job, I will be the first to take him down!" Peng Shanchen is also in his seventies. Naturally, he hopes that his son can take the position. After a little refusal, he agreed. .
Seeing that Peng Shanchen agreed to his proposal, Bai Zhentian turned to look at Cao Guoliang and said: "Brother Cao, I don't care about your affairs, but I have a candidate in mind for the location of the auditorium, and I want to discuss it with everyone. …”
"Oh? Who is it?"
Peng Shanchen and others looked at Bai Zhentian after hearing this. Among the positions vacated this time, the status of the leader of the auditorium is the most prominent. Even among Hongmen, the ranking of the auditorium is second only to the Xingtang and Xingtang. Loyalty Hall.
People who sit in the position of boss in the auditorium do not necessarily have strong abilities, but they must be highly respected. Lu Yangjing sat in that position because his father was the former head of Hongmen.
Bai Zhentian did not name the person, but asked Peng Shanchen: "Brother Peng, I heard that the position of the auditorium boss can be filled by outsiders, right?"
"Yes, the auditorium is also called the Incense Hall. According to the previous rules, outsiders can be invited to hold incense..."
Hearing this, Peng Shanchen looked at Bai Zhentian strangely and said, "Brother Zhentian, this outsider must also be a guest of Hongmen. As far as I know, there are not many guests of Hongmen now, right?"
Among the various halls in Hongmen, the most comfortable one is the auditorium, because except for the Hongmen Conference held every few years, there is almost nothing to do in the auditorium, and the role of the hall master can be said to be minimal.
In the early years, Hongmen invited some highly respected senior figures to serve as hall masters, but this has not happened in the past few decades.
"Zhentian, although the number of incense hall openings is not many, this candidate must convince the public."
Mr. Bai narrowed his eyes slightly. Although he had retired for almost twenty years, he was still very clear about Hongmen affairs.
Bai Bin also said: "Yes, when we opened the Incense Hall, we asked Ip Man to host it. This is not something that just anyone can do."
The Ip Man Bai Bin mentioned was also a contemporary martial arts master. In the 1960s, there was an incense hall in Hongmen, and Ip Man was specially invited from Hong Kong Island.
"Brother Qin, there are no outsiders here, so I won't call you by your false name anymore."
Bai Zhentian walked to Qin Feng, took Qin Feng's hand, and said: "The person I mentioned is Brother Qin. In terms of seniority, he is no lower than me. In terms of ability, Brother Qin is only the best."
Above me..."
"Brother Bai, what is this...?" Old God Qin Feng was watching the excitement from the sidelines, but he never expected that Bai Zhentian would actually bring the topic to himself.
"Brother Qin, those things you did to Hongmen, you have been wronged by being the master of the auditorium."
Seeing the doubtful looks in the eyes of everyone present, Bai Zhentian said loudly: "The recent fight between the trio and the mafia was all led by the Qin brothers...
As for winning the shares in Taj Casino, it was all thanks to Brother Qin who saved Albert’s life. Even the matter of the casino with Aodao, I couldn’t have negotiated without Brother Qin..."
Bai Zhentian had not talked about what happened in these days in detail before, but now that he said it, everyone understood that Qin Qing Feng played a decisive role in it.
"Brother Zhentian, is he... the one you mentioned before? Didn't you say his surname is Wu?"
Regarding Qin Feng, Bai Zhentian had mentioned it at a high-level meeting in Hongmen before, and Shen Junhao was still impressed.
More importantly, although Shen Junhao doesn't have much contact with Bai Zhentian, he knows that Bai Zhentian has a very high self-esteem, and there are not many people in Hongmen who can be seen by him. Unexpectedly, he would respect this young man so much?
It was not only Shen Junhao who had this idea, everyone in the venue except Liu Zimo looked at Qin Feng strangely.
None of them expected that this young man with an ordinary appearance and even a bit of frivolity could receive such a high praise from Bai Zhentian!
"There were a lot of people talking at that time, so I couldn't say much..."
Bai Zhentian turned to his father and said, "Father, Qin Feng's master was the life-seeking Yama in the world back then. Didn't I bring him here?"
"Really...are you really Brother Xia's disciple?" Mr. Bai, who was sitting at the top, had already guessed a few things, but his tone of voice was still a bit trembling.
"Old man, this junior kowtows to you!" Qin Feng took a few steps forward, touched the bottom of his knees, and kowtowed three times to Mr. Bai respectfully.
It was not mentioned before, so Qin Feng could pretend not to know, but now that his identity has been made clear, Qin Feng has to follow the rules of the world. Mr. Bai is an old friend of his master, so this is inevitable.
"Good...good...good!!!"
Mr. Bai, who had been calm all night, became a little excited at this time. He stretched out his hand and touched his body randomly, muttering: "This...this is a meeting gift, I don't have anything with me!"
"
"Old man, it's appropriate to kowtow to you. What are you talking about as a greeting gift?"
Qin Feng could feel that after hearing that he was a disciple of Yama Suo Ming, Mr. Bai's love for him was definitely from the heart, and he really didn't want any greeting gifts.
"No, no, this meeting gift must be given." Mr. Bai shook his head repeatedly and suddenly said: "Bai Bin, go and get the sword from the warehouse..."
"Sir, which sword is it?"
Bai Bin was stunned when he heard this. Apart from guns, the old man's favorite weapon in his life was swords. In his warehouse, he had collected many famous Chinese and foreign swords.
"The shortest one." Mr. Bai said.
"Ah? You really...really want that one?" Bai Bin was suddenly stunned. He didn't expect that the old man would be so generous if he didn't give it as a gift.
"Nonsense, if that thing is not passed down, will I still take it to the grave?"
Although Mr. Bai is over ninety years old, with this glare, he immediately exudes an aura of majesty. Only people who have been in high positions for a long time can have this kind of aura.
"Okay, sir, I'll go get it right away..."
Bai Bin is many years younger than the old man. He has been with the old man since he was a child. When he saw the old man getting angry, he who was so powerful just now shrank his head.
"Father, what good things did you find again?"
Influenced by his father, Bai Zhentian has also been fond of swords since he was a child. His attainments in swordsmanship even surpassed that of guns, so when he heard his old father say this, he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
“You’ll know when you look back.
Mr. Bai actually gave it up, pointed at Qin Feng, and said: "Finish your affairs first, and then let's rekindle our old friendship..."
"Yes, father!"
Bai Zhentian nodded when he heard this, and said to Peng Shanchen and others: "Brother Qin's master was the famous Yama who demanded life. I wonder if you have heard of his name?"
"I heard about it and thought it was a legendary figure. I didn't expect it to really exist?"
Among the three people present, Shen Junhao was the oldest. He was almost 30 years old when the People's Republic of China was founded. Moreover, he was from the capital. He had made a great name for himself during the time when he was a prostitute in the capital city of Yama.
Bai Zhentian said: "Brother Shen, the surname of Yan Luo is Xia. Is the disciple of Senior Xia worthy of being the master of the auditorium?"
"Of course... I deserve it." Shen Junhao said hesitantly after hearing this: "But Brother Qin is a bit too young. I... I'm afraid that the people below will not be convinced."
Back then, when everything was miserable, the bosses of each hall would have at most two more dishes on the table when eating, and other treatment would be similar to that of ordinary Hongmen disciples. The hall masters at that time, who had to worry about hard work, might not necessarily be a good person.
Good job.
But things are different now. With the increasing influence of Hongmen, the position of the leader of a hall can be said to be lower than that of a few people and higher than that of tens of thousands of people.
What's more important is that these big guys in the hall are all eligible to receive dividends from Hongmen's shares in various companies. This is a huge amount of money. If you can get it steadily for a few years, you will become a billionaire.
The people nominated by Bai Zhentian just now are all old people from Hongmen, and there will be no obstacles to their promotion. However, Qin Feng is different. He is not a member of Hongmen. If he is forced to take the position, I am afraid that some people within Hongmen will be dissatisfied.
"Yes, Brother Bai, Qin is young and has little virtue, and is not strong enough to convince the public. I think it's better to forget about it!"
Qin Feng also smiled bitterly on the side. He knew that the position of Hongmen Hall Master could bring him a lot of benefits. Among other things, he would receive at least tens of millions of dollars in dividends every year.
But equally, if the news leaks out, it is estimated that Qin Feng's life in the country will not be easy. The eyes of the United Front Department will definitely be on him, but he is afraid that Hu Baoguo, who is very close to him, will be implicated.
"Brother Shen, what I mean is that Brother Qin will be the leader of the hall. Don't announce it in the door yet..."
Bai Zhentian said: "Brother Qin's action this time will directly bring benefits to Hongmen, which may exceed 10 billion US dollars. I want Brother Qin to be a guest. Isn't this an exaggeration?"
Bai Zhentian knew Qin Feng's situation, so he compromised and came up with such a solution.
This also involves the issue of future shares in Aodao. If Qin Feng is a Hongmen guest, even if he holds more shares, I believe those present will not have any objections.
"Not announced yet?" Peng Shanchen frowned, "Is this okay? Many people will be tempted by such a vacant position, right?"
"I think it's okay..." Cao Guoliang said: "The position in the auditorium is a vacant position. It has been often vacant in the past. It will be no problem if it remains vacant for three to five years."
Nowadays, the management of Hongmen has become very modern. It can be said that except for the opening of the incense hall inside Hongmen, there is basically no auditorium on weekdays. It does not matter whether there is a hall leader or not.
PS: On the first day of April, the big chapter will be sent. Please give me a guaranteed monthly ticket!!!
