Baojian

Chapter 538

Although he was a little jealous of Qin Feng in his heart, Ah Bao knew what kind of person Qin Feng was.

A few days ago, Ah Bao saw with his own eyes that Qin Feng single-handedly stirred up the entire American gangster situation, so in front of Qin Feng, Ah Bao did not dare to show the slightest dissatisfaction.

"Brother Bao, I went to the casino just now and won some chips, you and your brothers will share it later!"

After hearing Abao's words, Qin Feng smiled and stuffed a few chips into Abao's hands. These chips were indeed placed on a gambling table near the gate when Qin Feng came out of the Luxor Casino won.

Qin Feng knew that people like Abao seemed to be only Bai Zhentian's followers, but in fact, if they were placed in other halls of Hongmen, they would all be able to take charge of their own affairs, so he established a good relationship with them and treated himself well. There's no harm in that.

"Mr. Qin is too polite, hey, this... isn't this a bit much?"

After taking the chip from Qin Feng, Ah Bao subconsciously thanked him, but when he saw the denomination of the chip clearly, he was stunned.

There were only six chips that Qin Feng stuffed in, but the denominations were all [-] US dollars each.

When Qin Feng was leaving, he took a [-]-dollar chip from the tray, and when betting, he placed it in the dice betting area of ​​the table, so it was only a blink of an eye. Qin Feng won $[-].

"Mr. Qin, the chips in the Luxor casino... are worth [-] US dollars!"

After following Bai Zhentian for so many years, Ah Bao naturally went to and out of the casino frequently, once he saw this kind of chips, he immediately knew where the chips came from.

"A Bao, thank you for supporting me that day, these bargaining chips are my kindness!"

Qin Feng waved his hand, pushed open the door of the Italian restaurant, and walked in without waiting for Abao to say thank you again.

"It's a big deal!"

Looking at Qin Feng's back, the trace of jealousy in Ah Bao's heart has long since dissipated. It is very human to do extraordinary things. At this moment, Ah Bao knows that Qin Feng's ability to be appreciated by Bai Ye is indeed extraordinary.

Of course, Qin Feng just picked up a good fortune by chance, so he naturally wouldn't guess what Abao was thinking. After opening the door and entering the restaurant, Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, "Brother Bai, why are you alone?"

The huge Italian restaurant is usually overcrowded, but today, there is only Bai Zhentian sitting in the entire restaurant, drinking tea and reading newspapers leisurely there.

"Come on, brother, sit down first..."

Bai Zhentian waved to Qin Feng, and said: "Luciano came from New York in the morning, he will have to wait for a while, let's drink tea and chat for a while..."

"Brother Bai, you are in great interest!"

Seeing the exquisite tea set in front of Bai Zhentian, Qin Feng couldn't help laughing. Such things must not be found in Italian restaurants, and they must be carried by Bai Zhentian.

"Come on, how about a taste of my Longjing tea?"

Bai Zhentian poured tea for Qin Feng with the purple sand pot in the tea set as if offering a treasure, and said triumphantly: "My pot is the work of Mr. Gu Jingzhou, he has some friendship with my father, so we can keep a few sets of his works at home! "

The Gu Jingzhou mentioned by Bai Zhentian is the most accomplished potter in modern times. His achievements in pot art are extremely high and his skills are exquisite. His reputation is comparable to that of Shi Dabin in the Ming Dynasty. Pot art dean".

"It's really a good thing..."

Qin Feng picked up the teacup with two fingers and took a closer look, nodded and said: "After the death of Mr. Gu, the price of this work has risen in a straight line. If this set of eleven pieces is put up for auction, the value will be at least More than 600 million..."

Qin Feng knows that Gu Jingzhou passed away three years ago, and when he was alive, some of his works were auctioned for more than one million, and in the few years since his death, the price of his works has increased several times.

"Are you quite knowledgeable?"

Bai Zhentian looked at Qin Feng in surprise. He originally wanted to explain to Qin Feng the value of this purple sand pot, but unexpectedly, Qin Feng knew better than him.

"I'm in the antique business, so I naturally know about these things."

Qin Feng shook his head with a smile, and said, "Brother Bai, who is that Luciano you mentioned just now? Could it be the old man of the New York Mafia, right? By the way, the movies are all superficial things, right?"

Qin Feng had watched the movie "The Godfather" in the United States in the early years, but in his opinion, the filming of this movie was relatively conservative. The real mafia should have a more rigorous organizational structure.

"Luciano is Alessandro's father."

Bai Zhentian looked at Qin Feng strangely, and said in a low voice, "Don't be afraid, boy, if Luciano knew that Alisandro was killed by you, maybe he would thank you in person..."

"Thank me? Is he not sick in the head?"

Qin Feng was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, he killed someone else's son, it's nothing more than a father who didn't work hard with him, how could he come to thank him?
"That old fox, how could there be something wrong with his brain?"

Bai Zhentian smiled and lit a cigar for himself, and said: "The situation of the mafia has long been worse than before. Although it has improved slightly in the past few years, in New York, Luciano is no longer in charge..."

The Mafia originated in Sicily, Italy, but developed in the United States.

Those immigrants from Italy initially gained influence in New Orleans, Chicago and New York, and gradually developed from small-scale field operations to city-wide and even international organizations.

The prohibition law issued by the United States in 1920 provided mafia organizations with opportunities to profit. They took over all the profits of smuggling, manufacturing and illegal sales of alcohol in the United States, and established their huge criminal empire.

In the 30s, the five mafia families, under the leadership of Charlie Luciano, set up a "Disciplinary Committee" as the highest arbitration unit among the "families".

In the 1950s, after the Second World War, the United States and the Soviet Union entered the stage of the Cold War. The American political intelligence units were busy dealing with communism and Soviet Russia, and the mafia, a criminal organization, was ignored or even denied its existence.

Under such circumstances, the mafia has obtained the best soil for survival and development, and its forces have spread throughout the United States and even Europe. At that time, 80.00% of the drugs in the United States are controlled by the mafia family.

However, there is a saying that when the mafia was at its most rampant, the assassination of President Kennedy sounded the alarm for them.

Since all kinds of clues point to the mafia family who provided funds for Kennedy's campaign but did not get rewarded afterwards, the US government launched a series of severe crackdowns on the mafia.

After more than 20 years, although the black gold earned by the mafia family is still more than 400 billion U.S. dollars every year, compared to before, their traditional power has shrunk greatly, and a lot of territory has been occupied by the Yamaguchi-gumi and the Hongmen.

And the National Disciplinary Committee of the Mafia almost exists in name only, and the five major families of the year have all declined.

However, in the past ten years, the Luciano family has had the anomaly of Alisandro. He led a group of people to fight in the east and west, which brought the Luciano family back to its former glory.

However, Alisandro didn't have enough respect for his own Luciano, who was nominally the old man of the family. He was put under house arrest in New York, and he no longer had any rights in his hands.

That's why Bai Zhentian said that Luciano would thank Qin Feng, because for a person like Luciano, losing his rights is even more terrifying than losing his life.

For the sake of rights, Luciano can deprive anyone of his life, which naturally includes his own son, not to mention that he doesn't have much affection for Alisandro, a cheap son.

"Brother Bai, you met with the mafia, why did you drag me here?"

After listening to Bai Zhentian's explanation of this period of history, Qin Feng jokingly said: "I don't want to be thanked by the mafia family. I'm afraid I won't even be able to sleep well..."

"Not to mention, I'm here to teach you to benefit you." After hearing Qin Feng's words, Bai Zhentian laughed and said, "Do you know why old Luciano wanted me?"

"I don't know." Qin Feng shook his head and said, "Brother Bai, I'm not the roundworm in your stomach, how do I know these things?"

"Old Luciano is here this time to redefine the gang power in Las Vegas!"

A gleam flashed in Bai Zhentian's eyes, and he said, "The place where the Yamaguchi-gumi and the mafia lost the most is Las Vegas. The mafia has already lost control of this place..."

The shares of the Mafia and the Yamaguchi-gumi in Las Vegas casinos are based on their maintenance of casino order, in other words, it is tantamount to watching the situation.

But now the mafia's forces in Las Vegas are almost all dead in the chapel a few days ago, and due to the high pressure of the US government, neither the mafia nor Yamaguchi can mobilize people from other places.

In the past few days, in the major casinos in Las Vegas, there have been gamblers rioting, the lack of gangs to maintain order, and the casinos with not very high force values ​​have suffered losses to varying degrees.

Therefore, the gambling industry bosses in Las Vegas also expressed their dissatisfaction with Luciano, telling the other party that if they cannot find a way to solve these matters, their dry shares in the casino will be banned.

Although the income of casinos is not a lot for the mafia, they use casinos as a tool for money laundering.

Without the shares in the casino, the tens of billions of dollars of black gold that the mafia generates every year will not be able to circulate into the market. This is definitely a huge blow to the mafia.

If Bai Zhentian's guess is correct, Luciano's invitation to him this time should be to offer a piece of cake to Hongmen in exchange for the peace of Las Vegas.

"Brother Bai, those people who caused trouble in the casino were sent by you, right?" After hearing Bai Zhentian's story, Qin Feng looked at him strangely.

Although there are not many contacts, Qin Feng believes that Boss Bai, who has a rogue temperament, can definitely do such a thing of taking advantage of the fire.
