The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 184 San Francisco is too chaotic
After leaving the cafe, Chen Zhengwei called Schultz to his carriage.

"Arrange your people to go to Russian Hill and take it over." Chen Zhengwei instructed Schultz. He was going to teach the Italians what time pressure meant.

Russian Hill is located in the west of North Beach, while the financial district and port district are located in the east of North Beach. Taking control of these two places will limit the Italians to their current territory.

They will definitely not be able to sit still by then.

If they don't intend to go to war with Chen Zhengwei, they can only seize other territories in exchange.

"Is Otto really dead?" Schulz still found it unbelievable.

"I personally had someone hanged on a street lamp! The scene is beautiful and artistic. Maybe I should find a painter to paint it!" Chen Zhengwei said lightly, smoking a cigarette.

"Shocking." Schultz let out a long sigh.

Vito suppressed them so much that they couldn't raise their heads, but Otto was stronger than Vito.

And both of these people were killed by Chen Zhengwei.

The young man in front of me is too crazy.

Especially when I think about how Vito was killed by the man in front of me, and then he turned around and wanted to form an alliance with the Italians.

Schultz felt that Vito's death was unjust.

"Don't keep Vito's affairs to yourself!" Chen Zhengwei kicked him and warned him, "If I hear anything, you'll be hanged!"

If the Italians agreed to an alliance, he had no intention of turning against the Italians for the time being.

At least we have to wait until we kill our other ally, the Jews, and then see what the situation is.

"I wouldn't say that!" Schultz said.

……

On the other hand, after Duccio and Camilo left the café, they called together the rest of the family to discuss.

"This is the situation. What do you think?" After Du Qiao explained the situation, he looked at the other people around the table.

Soon a man knocked on the table and said to everyone:

“First we need to make sure of three things!
First, who killed Vito?

Second, are things as the Chinese say?

Third, can the Chinese be trusted? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Duccio spoke up: "I have sent someone to the Sunset District to inquire, and the news will be back soon."

"As for the third point, it doesn't matter whether the Chinese can be trusted or not. Territory is strength. And I think the Chinese are relatively trustworthy. We all know their situation. Neither the Irish nor the British will let him become too powerful."

"So you want to cooperate with the Chinese?" someone asked immediately.

"This is good for both of us!" Duccio nodded.

Now that he is the actual leader of the Ferro family, he needs to lead the family to gain more benefits in order to convince others.

As for Vito… he had already arranged for someone to check the room where the gunman was.

The people in the room were not Chinese, and not much information was obtained from the few descriptions.

So he has no direction for the time being.

On the other side, the two Italians sent by Duccio arrived at 19th Avenue and saw a large number of Irish people gathered outside the flower shop.

After making some inquiries, the two men brought the news back.

Soon, the Ferro family made a decision.

Especially after they learned that the Krauts were on Russian Hill.

……

While the two Italians from the Duccio faction were asking around the flower shop on 19th Avenue, a few other people were complaining not far away.

"Damn, San Francisco is crazy! I didn't know it was so chaotic before I came here!" A 1.75 meter tall and strong man said to the people around him.

"Even you say so, it's really crazy here!" The person next to him shrugged.

Because the person speaking is Colm Lucky, a Chicago gang member, a "thug" who shot and killed other gang members in the street in broad daylight.

Chicago is the fastest growing, most potential, and most chaotic city in the United States today.

They came here to discuss a business deal and they need some goods.

However, they had just arrived in San Francisco yesterday and had agreed to meet Otto today.

As a result, Otto was hanged on a street lamp last night, and even a bomb was thrown into the flower shop.

In addition, there were a large number of gunfights, with hundreds of people killed and injured last night.

Even in Chicago, this wouldn't happen.

"And have you read the newspaper? The newspaper said that only nine people died in the gunfight last night! FUCK!" Lucky Star Colm couldn't help but curse.

"It's more than nine!"

"It makes no difference. This place is rotten to the core." Colm felt like he had been taught a lesson.

"Chicago officials will definitely be happy to hear you say this. Finally, there is a place worse than Chicago!" The person next to him laughed.

……

In the evening, Michael came to the casino with several detectives and a police officer.

"Is Chen here?" Michael asked Rong Jiacai.

"Brother Wei is waiting for you!" Rong Jiacai said.

"Take Officer Terrence upstairs! He's the one Chen wants to see!" Michael glanced at the police officer next to him.

He didn't want to get involved in the conversation between Chen Zhengwei and Terrence.

"As usual, give each of these people 30 yuan in chips, which they can exchange for cash when they leave." Rong Jiacai knew at a glance that these agents were all strangers, so he gave instructions to the men around him.

He is already familiar with this process.

Michael always brings a few new faces with him every time, and now more than half of the FBI agents are taking money from the casino.

And you get paid every week.

"Officer Terrence, please follow me!" Rong Jiacai took Terrence to the second floor and knocked on the door.

"come in!"

"Brother Wei, this is Officer Terrence."

"Hello, Terrence, please sit down!" Chen Zhengwei motioned Terrence to sit opposite him.

And Li Xiwen stood next to Chen Zhengwei.

Terrence looked at Chen Zhengwei. He knew him and also knew that Michael was with him.

There was no room for him to interfere in the case in the port area.

Chen Zhengwei took out a stack of 20-dollar bills from under the coffee table and placed it in front of Terrence.

The total amount was 1,600 yuan. The first time I paid, I had to be generous and pay a month's worth at once, so that it would have enough impact.

"This is my friendship!" Chen Zhengwei looked at the other party and said.

"The financial district and the port, I need your help. Did you see my people at the port today? I will help you, and you can get this much from me every month!"

"Besides that, if you encounter any problems in San Francisco, you can also seek my help."

Terrence looked a little serious, looking at the money in front of him, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

"Take the money. It's good for everyone! Your people can also get 30 dollars from me every week."

"Otherwise many people will be unhappy! That would become troublesome." Chen Zhengwei said slowly.

Terrence felt a huge pressure on him.

Not only from Chen Zhengwei in front of him, but also from the Investigation Bureau.

After hesitating for a moment, he picked up the money.

"This is great, we all got what we wanted." Chen Zhengwei laughed.

"You know, we have a saying in China, blocking someone's path to wealth is like killing their parents. Everyone wants to make money."

"The Irish are done. Next, over at the port, my people need some help from you."

"I will!" Terence nodded. He knew about the Irish.

After all, the matter was so serious that it spread throughout the Investigation Bureau.

But he didn't know the exact number of casualties.

After a while, Terence left with the money. Chen Zhengwei picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He was in a good mood.

Another patrol captain was dealt with.

A moment later Michael came up and sat directly opposite Chen Zhengwei.

"It looks like we had a good conversation!"

"Of course, I'm good at persuading people." Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

The two chatted for a while, and Michael reminded:

"Beware the revenge of the Irish!"

Then, a little chagrined: “I’m Irish too!”

"No, we are Americans!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

"Although you are Irish, you can't take care of everyone. They are just some evildoers who will not bring any benefits to your compatriots."

"And I will hire a lot of Irish people, give them higher wages and better treatment! This is because of you, Michael! This is helping them!"

"Hearing you say that, I feel better!" Michael took the wine handed to him by Wanyun and said thank you.

"Cheers!" Chen Zhengwei clinked his glasses with Michael's, then watched Michael drink the wine in the glass and took a sip.

"You just said cheers!" Michael said dissatisfiedly.

"I'm just saying! I didn't expect you to have such a lack of sense of humor!" Chen Zhengwei shrugged.

"Which of you said is true?" Michael was a little annoyed.

"What I said about serious matters is true, for example, I will give them a salary increase!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"Be careful!" Michael reminded again.

"Don't worry, they won't be able to take care of me soon!" Chen Zhengwei shook his wine glass with a smile on his face.

"What did you do again?" Michael frowned and looked at him. This guy never does good things.

"Nothing, I just made some new friends!" Chen Zhengwei said playfully.

……

In the evening, Yan Qingyou brought back news about the two companies.

“Golden Gate Freight Company employed a number of Irish people, mainly loading and unloading cargo at the docks and for transportation between San Francisco and Oakland.”

"Auckland..." Chen Zhengwei tapped the table lightly.

There is a strait between San Francisco and Oakland, and Oakland is the westernmost end of the transcontinental railway across the United States.

Therefore, Auckland became an important distribution center.

Now that the Bay Bridge has not been built, goods need to be transported back and forth through shipping companies, and freight companies are responsible for loading and unloading and transportation on both sides.

"Send someone to find out the situation in Auckland..." Chen Zhengwei didn't pay much attention to Auckland on the other side of the strait.

Yan Qingyou then continued, "Another shareholder of Kinmen Freight Company is also a shareholder of Gulf Shipping Company."

"The San Francisco Bay Area Warehousing Company has three warehouses in the port, covering nearly 30,000 feet (2,700 square meters)!"

"Otto owns the smallest warehouse, but he owns 45% of the shares."

Chen Zhengwei nodded slightly. After all, Otto was still very influential in the port. Of course, that was in the past.

"Make an appointment for me with another shareholder of Kinmen Freight and other shareholders of the warehousing company. I want to meet them!" Chen Zhengwei ordered.

"Come here!" Chen Zhengwei suddenly waved at Yan Qingyou.

When Yan Qingyou saw Chen Zhengwei's actions, he knew that he was going to be beaten and felt very wronged.

But he still came over obediently.

"Brother Wei, I didn't do anything wrong!"

Chen Zhengwei slapped him on the head twice before saying unhappily, "I've told you to study English well! You want me to do everything myself! You always have to have me talk to you in person!"

"What's the use of you? All you do is fight and kill every day!"

"Use your brain! What's the point of just fighting and killing? You have to use your brain!"

If they could work harder, I wouldn't have to work so hard.

Chen Zhengwei feels like he is in the 997 state in the United States now!
Every day from 12 noon to 12 midnight, seven days a week.

After letting out his anger, Chen Zhengwei asked, "Is everything going well over there?"

"Those Irish people are very hostile, but I can handle them. They can't cause much trouble." Rong Jiacai said.

"If there is any problem, call the police!"

"They get so much money from me every month, I have to find something for them to do!"

……

The next day at noon, Chen Zhengwei received the news while having breakfast.

Duccio of the Ferro family wants to meet him.
