Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 713 Chinatown Liangshan
When Master Pang explained the matter, he realized it was quite a big deal.

It turned out that a company had set its sights on a piece of land in Chinatown and was planning to develop it.

It is normal to develop the area, but the problem is that the other party has a mafia background, so there is no need to expect them to follow the normal process. After all, do you expect the mafia to provide adequate compensation? Or do you expect the people in Chinatown to move away voluntarily? Or do you expect the government to come up with a reasonable plan?
In order to gain more benefits, the mafia certainly does not intend to pay more money. If it were not for the fact that we are now in a society ruled by law, at least they want to appear to be getting by on the surface, they would not want to take even a penny.

The people in Chinatown know very well that their food and clothing depend on this place. If they leave, not only will they lose their stable housing and income, but they will also be bullied. So unless the money is paid in place, they can forget about it. Therefore, the contradictions between the two sides cannot be reconciled at all and conflicts are bound to occur.

When encountering such a situation, the Chinese first sought official help, but as expected, there was no hope. The other party kicked a good ball and performed Tai Chi very well.

In fact, this is normal, because Chinese people are the least welcome group in the beacon country.

However, the reason why they are unpopular is not because they are dishonest, nor because they have committed crimes, but precisely because they are too honest and too studious and hardworking. They will never take the wrong path if they can take the right path, and will never work for others if they can get a job in the regular system. This is the most fatal thing.

It is foreseeable that if there are no restrictions, it will not be long before a large number of highly educated talents will emerge in the Chinese community, the proportion of the elite class will continue to increase, and they will gradually have greater voice and influence.

Moreover, the Chinese like to stick together and have their own culture and traditions, which will give the Chinese elites a stable support group. Once they enter politics, they will inevitably become a force that cannot be ignored. In addition, they have a country behind them.
Let me put it this way, just thinking about it, the Beacon Country feels like it's sitting on a bomb, afraid that one day when it opens its eyes, the vast landscape will be all red, and the national flag will have to be custom-made in Yiwu.

In comparison, even if the blacks are given another thousand years, they will not be able to achieve anything. You know, it will take up a huge amount of energy, material resources and financial resources to mess with other countries. It is enough to let them govern themselves in Africa, which will definitely be better than what the Beacon Country can do on its own.

Therefore, the beacon country can allow black people to smash, loot and rob, but cannot tolerate Chinese people getting rich through hard work, because the latter truly have the ability and potential to change the world.

In fact, Chinatown also knows that it is useless to seek help from the authorities. It is just a process and ultimately they have to rely on themselves.

For some reasons, the proportion of Chinese people owning guns is not high, and even fewer dare to use them. Moreover, facing the existence of the Mafia, ordinary people really can't do much, so it is the turn of local gangs to take action.

Gangs have existed since the Chinese were sold as pigs to San Francisco, and they have never stopped. They do protect some people, but they also do more evil. Sometimes, their own people are the most brutal.

The problem is that their base is in Chinatown and this matter concerns their vital interests, so they have no choice but to work hard.

The Chinatown where Master Pang is located is the territory of Xiao Liangshan. This group of people also has a heritage and an alternative technique of summoning gods, which can allow them to ask the 108 Liangshan heroes to possess them.

This move is not enough in the East where there are many gods and immortals. Moreover, because they believe in the heroes of Liangshan, they are simply born with a black holy body. So when the crackdown in the country starts, they run away as soon as possible. If they run too slowly, they will have to gather behind bars. How can they not be allowed to hang the banner of "acting on behalf of heaven"?

Although it came late, it was able to rely on the many talents in unconventional fields of Xiao Liangshan to gain a firm foothold in a short period of time through cheating and deception, and it is still constantly expanding its influence. After all, there are people who have not read Water Margin, but there are not many who have not heard of it. This has brought Xiao Liangshan a good mass base.

The current leader, Song Jiang, is interested in running for election. I'm afraid this is also the reason why Chinatown is being targeted.

They are good at everything and have a solid mass base, which is the basis for political participation in the Lighthouse Country. If left alone, a powerful person will inevitably appear in the Chinese community, which is something the higher-ups don't want to see, so the Mafia came. Since they dared to attack Xiao Liangshan, the well-prepared Mafia naturally had some confidence, as long as there were no variables.

The so-called variables are Master Pang and Bill, one is a monk with a heritage, and the other is a street hero with a little reputation in the local area. If the two of them join in, they can each get at least three or five extraordinary people, adding up to more than ten extraordinary people. Although not all of them may be strong, they are enough to change the situation.

Unfortunately, the trap they set didn't work. Such a powerful curse was lifted without causing any casualties.

If it causes large-scale casualties, the authorities will have reasons to intervene, such as aging natural gas pipelines, terrorist attacks, possession of prohibited items, etc. There are plenty of reasons to take action against Chinatown, but unfortunately the situation was calm and peaceful, which made their preparations in vain.

If the trap fails, either the opponent is lucky enough or powerful enough. In either case, the original method has to be changed.

By taking over Chinatown, at least 100 million yuan in profits could be obtained. Even if most of it was distributed, there would still be tens of millions, and some official approval could be obtained.

But the premise of all this is that there cannot be too much risk.

A street thug with nothing would dare to bet with a switchblade whether the other party is telling the truth, but an old organization like the Mafia would not do that. If they were to gamble their lives if something really happened, they would be dead long ago, so they proposed to use a duel to decide the winner.

The mafia won, and Xiao Liangshan withdrew from Chinatown. But without Xiao Liangshan, Chinatown would be at their mercy.

Xiao Liangshan won, and the mafia paid five million US dollars as compensation and gave up a piece of territory.

The stakes are not small. Losing a Chinatown and a piece of territory is a big loss for both sides. The most important thing is that the loser will face bastards who want to take advantage of the situation. It will take at least a few years for the loser to recover, and it is even possible that the loser will never recover.

In any case, neither side had the intention of escalating the fight, so one side tacitly set the date for the duel, and the other side set the location for the duel.

On the day of the duel, Master Pang and Taoist Shukaku made full preparations. Bill also called his good brother Bumblebee, a strong black man wearing a Bumblebee doll costume, and Yan Xu to set off together.

They are there to lend a helping hand, not necessarily to take action. However, as long as they take action, they will gain benefits. Otherwise, who would help out just based on personal relationships?

As for why Yan Xu was brought along, it was of course because he was afraid of something unexpected happening.

Now Master Pang has guessed that the divine curse was most likely done by the mafia. If a similar situation happens again, it would be convenient for him to curry favor with the mafia and just kneel down.

Of course, the main reason is that they are afraid that it will be difficult to end. With the reincarnation of the big boss around, at least there is someone to cover the bottom and there won’t be major casualties.
