Ye Chen nodded and asked Qiangzi, “Can you find him?”
Qiang Zai thought for a while, “Mr. Ye, Big Viagra seems to have gone out to avoid the limelight. I’m afraid it won’t be that easy to find him now.”
Uncle Zhong said, “He must have not left Chinatown. Maybe he is hiding in Monroe Hair Salon now. I understand his habits and always believe that the most dangerous place is the safest.”
Qiang Zai exclaimed, “No way, Uncle Zhong… The whole Chinatown knows that the proprietress of Monroe Hair Salon is the lover of Big Viagra. How dare he hide there at this time…”
Uncle Zhong said, “Don’t ask so many questions. Go directly to Monroe Hair Salon and tell the proprietress there that I’m back and invite him to come and see me.”
After hearing Chen Zhaozhong’s order, Qiang Zai ran out quickly.
Although Chinatown is a very complicated small society, it is only such a big place after all, so after staying here for a long time, we are all very familiar with each other.
Just like its name, this is just a street, a street where Chinese people gather in large numbers.
The relationship between everyone here is like that of neighbors on the street. Although there are some shameless, insidious and cunning people among the neighbors, they generally help and support each other.
In the early years, the Chinese who had just arrived in the United States were bullied and had no choice but to gather together to keep warm. Chinese gangs also naturally developed in this environment.
At first, in order to protect themselves, the Chinese organized some young and strong laborers to jointly fight against foreign enemies. Over time, with the continuous development of society, various professions were constantly subdivided, and some people who occasionally united to stand up for other Chinese people, They gradually regarded this kind of thing as a profession, and the Chinese gang was officially established.
From the history of the Huabang, we can see that from the moment it was born, the Huabang was not a gangster that bullied the market and bullied men and women.
Most gangs in the United States are very different in nature from Chinese gangs. Most of the gangs with a long history in the United States developed during the Prohibition period. Their methods of making money are basically all against the U.S. government. Therefore, several gangs have a long history. Over a hundred years of development, they have developed an instinct, that is, the more the government does not allow them to do, the more they must do it, and they must do it bigger and stronger.
Take the example of collecting protection fees. Huabang collects protection fees in Chinatown, which is more like an unofficial property fee. It collects money from every household and serves every household. The fees are reasonable and the service is considerate. On call.
However, when gangs like the Burning Angel collect protection fees, they are outright bandits.
The robber only wants money, and he will spare your life if you hand over the money. If he insists on not giving it, he will give you a knife or a shot.
You can’t expect to be able to ask the robber to help you look after your home after being robbed. In that case, the robber may even rob your home.
A few minutes later, Qiang Zai rushed over with a middle-aged man who looked to be in his 40s.
As soon as the man entered the door and saw Chen Zhaozhong, he said excitedly: “Brother Zhong, you are back!”
This man is Ni Dawei, the boss of the Chinese gang in Chinatown, New York.
