Chapter 1261 1261 [Dragon and Phoenix among men!]
In the past time and space, you can see in many movies that the Hong Kong police captain, Inspector Lei Luo, was so powerful that he could make clouds and rain with his hands.
Among them, the most powerful among the four detectives is Lei Luo, who is the head of the four detectives. Followed by Yan Xiong, among the four detectives, only Yan Xiong may be comparable to Lei Luo. In addition, Lan Gang and Han Sen
They all gradually improved later on, so naturally they are not as good as the first two.
But among these people, there is another person who is Chen Zhichao. Although Chen Zhichao is not as famous as Lei Luo, his status is higher than him and his power is greater than him. He takes both black and white and is a real tycoon in Hong Kong. His power is so great that even the four major
The detective and the wealthy men of the four major families were all afraid of him.
Although Lei Luo has prominent power in the police world, he is nothing compared to Chen Zhichao. Although Lei Luo and Yan Tong have been fighting openly and secretly for more than ten years, they never dare to underestimate their strength at that time.
Hong Kong Emperor's Chen Chi-chao.
However, by the end of the 1970s, when the Independent Commission Against Corruption was established in Hong Kong, these once-powerful figures changed their names and fled Hong Kong in embarrassment to escape legal sanctions, heading to Treasure Island, Southeast Asia and other places.
All the money they have not taken away has been frozen or confiscated, and in accordance with Hong Kong's laws, they will face legal sanctions until their death.
Although Hong Kong police will not cross the border to pursue them, their status as lifelong fugitives means they can never return to Hong Kong.
In this absconding storm, Lei Luo, Yan Xiong and others all remained anonymous and kept a low profile, but Chen Zhichao was different.
In 1975, Chen Zhichao moved to New York, the United States. Within a few years, he ran a number of businesses such as antiques, restaurants, theaters and funeral homes, and became the chairman of the Hongmen "Anliang Chamber of Commerce and Industry" and the vice chairman of Oriental Bank.
With the support of social status and financial resources, Chen Zhichao not only established relationships with the mayors and governors of the United States, but also had some friendship with the president of the United States. Because of his "quick rise to power", people gave him the nickname "Fast Eddie".
is his English name, and he was even regarded as the "Boss of Chinatown" at that time.
Therefore, in the movie "Year of the Dragon" starring the dragon in the 1980s, the former Hong Kong detective played by Huang Ziqiang was transformed into "Harry Yang", a New York society boss. The prototype of this character was Chen Zhichao.
However, because Shi Zhijian is a butterfly, I don’t know if it will cause a butterfly effect. Will Chen Zhichao, who is currently in high spirits in Hong Kong, abscond to New York, USA, and will he compete with Cheng Wentai for the throne of the Hongmen boss.
Zheng Wentai didn't understand why Shi Zhijian was looking at him in a daze. After shaking hands with Shi Zhijian, he smiled and said: "Mr. Shi is new here. We in Hongmen, New York, don't have much to entertain. Why don't we have a gathering at our Chinese Building at noon today?"
How about a moment?"
"Yes, yes! Mr. Shi, you are a guest from afar. As hosts, we must entertain you well!" Situ Xiong also said quickly.
Seeing this, Zheng Wentai couldn't help but take another look at Shi Zhijian. What he said just now was just a test. He didn't expect his father-in-law to react so strongly. It seemed that this person named Shi was not simple.
Shi Zhijian smiled slightly: "I came here originally to thank you, but instead I came to bother you. I'm really sorry!"
"You're welcome, it's a blessing for all of us in Hongmen to be able to have a drink and chat with Mr. Shi!" Situ Xiong said, greeting the people: "Come here, take Mr. Shi to the lounge to rest first, and then free up the entire Chinese Building, just say
Today there are distinguished guests arriving, and we in Hongmen are going to have a big banquet!"
"yes!"
Shi Zhijian, Yan Xiong and Axejun were taken away.
Situ Xiong's face was filled with joy. At this time, Zheng Wentai couldn't help but ask: "Father-in-law, please forgive me, who is this Mr. Shi? Why do you always make such a big show of it?"
"Haha!" Situ Xiong laughed twice and waved. Luo Yaohu, who had always been his confidant, immediately handed him the hookah. Situ Xiong bit into the hookah and took two puffs happily. He blew out the smoke and said: "This Mr. Shi is amazing -
—”
Next, Situ Xiong carefully told Zheng Wentai Shi Zhijian's identity.
Zheng Wentai didn't think much of it at first, but when he heard that Shi Zhijian was the president of Shinhwa Group and had a net worth of more than one billion U.S. dollars, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. In this era, it's rare to see people with a net worth of hundreds of millions, let alone those who are still in the teens.
100 million.
"In addition to being the president of Shinhwa Group, this Mr. Shi is also the only Chinese earl in the British Empire!" Situ Xiong dropped another bomb.
Now Zheng Wentai was stunned, Chinese Earl?
It is difficult for an old country like the UK to get a knighthood, let alone a Chinese!
Situ Xiong was very satisfied with the surprised look on his son-in-law Zheng Wentai, and said with a smile: "You should understand now why I treated him so favorably? This man is not simple. Not only is his status extremely noble, but he also has a deep connection with the Hongmen in London! As a Hongmen
We belong to the same clan, so it’s only right that we show some friendship as landlords in New York!”
Zheng Wentai laughed when he heard this and said: "My father-in-law is absolutely right! I see that Mr. Shi is also a man of good temper. Maybe we may rely on him in the future..."
Situ Xiong glanced at his son-in-law, did not say a word, but laughed twice, "I'm going to prepare, and you will also attend the banquet later!"
"Yes!" Zheng Wentai clasped his fists and respectfully sent his father-in-law Situ Xiong away.
As a confidant, Luo Yaohu was about to leave, but Zheng Wentai called out to him: "Ahu, wait a minute, I have something to tell you!"
"Brother Tai, what's the matter with you calling me?" Luo Yaohu turned to Zheng Wentai and cupped his fists.
Zheng Wentai did not answer, but sat back at the Eight Immortals table, picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea, picked it up and took a sip, then looked up at Luo Yaohu and said, "Have you known the details of Mr. Shi for a long time?"
"Uh, this... Master Xiong personally told me what I was doing!" Luo Yaohu hesitated and said.
"Oh, really?" Zheng Wentai spit out a piece of tea foam, took out a handkerchief and wiped his lips, squinting: "In other words, you knew the details of Shi's name all along, but I was still kept in the dark?"
Luo Yaohu was anxious and said hurriedly: "It's Mr. Xiong who doesn't let me reveal it easily to the outside world! You also know his temper. If he finds out that I carelessly gossip, the consequences will be disastrous..."
"Haha, don't be afraid! I'm just asking casually!" Zheng Wentai chuckled, "I'm not interrogating you, what are you afraid of? Everyone knows that you are very loyal to Mr. Xiong, right?"
Luo Yaohu took a deep breath: "Thank you, Brother Tai, for understanding!"
"I can understand you, but I also hope you can understand one fact -" Zheng Wentai turned the tea cup in his hand with a smile on his face, "Master Xiong is getting old, and there will always be someone at the helm of the Hongmen family in the future.
As for who that person is, you should know very well——"
"Clear! Of course I know it!" Luo Yaohu clasped his fist towards Zheng Wentai: "In the future, I will only follow Brother Tai's lead!"
"Hahaha! We are all brothers, just be willing!" Zheng Wentai smiled with cold eyes.
…
Every Chinatown seems to have a China House.
The same goes for New York's Chinatown.
Today at noon, Hongmen boss Situ Xiong hosted a banquet for Shi Zhijian at the Zhonghua Building. The atmosphere was not too big. He only invited the four elders of Hongmen and the helmsmen of each branch to gather together to accompany him.
These elders and leaders were not very clear about Shi Zhijian's specific identity, and Situ Xiong did not give a detailed introduction. He only said that Shi Zhijian was a friend from Hong Kong and the president of Hong Kong Shinhwa Group.
As a result, these elders and helmsmen regarded Shi Zhijian as an ordinary businessman.
But then when they heard that Shi Zhijian had a conflict with the Speeder Party, and that the Hongmen had helped him eliminate thirty or so white people, the faces of these elders and helmsmen became ugly.
Some outspoken people couldn't help but complain: "Master Xiong is too generous, he will help anyone!"
"Yes, it's okay to have a grudge against the motorcycle gangs. Now Hongmen has destroyed more than thirty white people. Those white police will never give up!"
These elders and helmsmen were all very worried, feeling that Situ Xiong was old and confused, and it was not worth it to help someone like Shi Zhijian!
Although Hongmen seems to be very powerful in New York with its large number of people, in fact, its development has encountered bottlenecks in recent years, especially in Chinatown. In addition to Hongmen, the Vietnamese gang, the Japanese Black Dragon Society, and the Italian Mafia, etc.
Wait, the forces are also very powerful.
Now Hongmen not only has enmity with the motorcycle gangs, but also offended the white policemen. It will be even more difficult for Hongmen to develop in the future.
Everyone was talking about it, so Shi Zhijian felt even more displeased. Yan Xiong and Axe Jun who were following Shi Zhijian were also disliked by these big guys, who thought they were nuisances and troublemakers.
As a Hongmen boss, Situ Xiong paid no attention to the thoughts of his subordinates, and even invited Shi Zhijian to sit at the guest of honour's seat in the lobby of the China Building, with him accompanying him.
Shi Zhijian is so young, and having Situ Xiong, an old man with a gray beard, as his companion can only be said to be a miracle.
You must know that Situ Xiong has a special status, and ordinary guests who want to be accompanied by him are simply not qualified.
Not only that, Situ Xiong even called his son-in-law Zheng Wentai over, and they both accompanied Shi Zhijian.
Such a scene made the four elders and others even more dissatisfied. They felt that what Situ Xiong did today was a bit of a fuss. How could a young man from Hong Kong treat them like Jianghu people with such courtesy?!
"Is this Mr. Shi? With all due respect, I see that you are young and talented, but I don't know what exactly you do in Hong Kong? Shinhwa Group? I'm sorry, we haven't heard of it before!"
Seeing Shi Zhijian calmly sitting in the guest of honor seat, Lin Bao, as one of the four elders, couldn't help but pick up his tea cup and tease.
"I'm sorry, my Shinhwa Group company has not been established for a long time. It seems that you haven't been back to Hong Kong for a long time, so I don't know the situation there!" Shi Zhijian glanced at the fifty-something old man with a leopard head and said calmly.
"Oh, really? I haven't been back to Hong Kong for many years, but I also know that the most powerful group in Hong Kong is Ritchie Enterprises and Huo Daheng's Huo Real Estate, but I have never heard of any myths!" Lin Bao sneered.
road.
Others also joined in and loudly discussed Hong Kong's big bosses, tycoons, and relatively large Chinese companies. Among them, Shi Zhijian's defeated general Li Zhaotian was mentioned the most.
In the eyes of these Hongmen bosses, Li Zhaotian is simply the "dragon and phoenix" among the Chinese in Hong Kong. He is not only young and promising, but also very aura. People who have had dinner with him describe Li Zhaotian as domineering.
Side leakage!
Shi Zhijian didn't feel anything when he heard these nonsense.
Yan Xiong was a little unhappy.
He had a low status and was not qualified to sit with Shi Zhijian and others, but he pricked up his ears and listened clearly to what these people said. Seeing that these people kept belittling Shi Zhijian and elevating the fortune teller, he couldn't help but said: "
I know the Lucky Sky you are talking about!"
Everyone turned to look at him.
Lin Bao said disdainfully: "Who are you? How do you know Li Zhaotian?"
"Yeah, what qualifications do you have? That Li Zhaotian is a big shot!"
"I'm sorry, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm Yan Xiong!" Yan Xiong stood up at another table and gave everyone a bow before clearing his throat and saying, "I used to be the chief detective of Hong Kong Island.
, I occasionally drank wine and dined with Li Zhaotian, but I don’t know if I am qualified to comment on him?"
"Uh, Inspector Zonghua?"
"Yan Xiong? This name looks so familiar!"
"I remember, there is indeed one named Yan Xiong among the four detectives! He is known as the Smiling Tiger!"
The big guys started talking about each other and looked at Yan Xiong for the first time.
In the shadow of a famous tree, when Yan Xiong introduced himself to his family, everyone immediately looked at him with admiration!
Even Situ Xiong and Zheng Wentai couldn't help but look at Yan Xiong more.
They thought Yan Xiong was just an unknown follower around Shi Zhijian, but they didn't expect him to be such a big shot!
Yan Xiong was very satisfied with the attention everyone paid to him and continued: "Speaking of this Li Zhaotian, it seems that everyone has not been back to Hong Kong for a long time. The reason is very simple. The Mr. Li you call, Mr. Li Tycoon, is now in
Go to jail in Stanley Prison!"
"What? Li Zhaotian is in jail?"
"How is that possible? I don't believe it!"
These people had just brought out Li Zhaotian and used him to disparage Shi Zhijian. Unexpectedly, Yan Xiong suddenly said that he was in jail. How could this make them feel so embarrassed?!
"Don't believe me, everything I say is true!" Yan Xiong became more and more proud, "And the reason why Li Zhaotian went to jail is because he didn't understand current affairs and offended our boss, Mr. Shi!"
"What?" Everyone looked at Shi Zhijian, their eyes almost popping out of their heads.
Shi Zhijian looked calm, drinking tea and watching Yan Xiong's performance.
Yan Xiong was very satisfied with the reaction of these Hongmen bigwigs, especially when he saw their dumbfounded expressions, an indescribable feeling of relief spread from the bottom of his heart.
"You don't have to react so much!" Yan Xiong said, "What I said is true! Back then, when Li Zhaotian offended our boss, Mr. Shi, our Mr. Shi just flicked his fingers and sent him to jail to eat the emperor's food!
If you don’t believe it, you can go to Hong Kong and listen to it. I, Mr. Yan, always state facts and reason when I speak, and I don’t deceive others!”
