The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 306 The so-called rule of law means that judges can rule as they wish

In Springfield, Massachusetts, Hiram Keith returned home with a gloomy face.

He was a designer at Smith & Wesson Firearms, but his research application was rejected again.

"Those short-sighted guys, automatic firearms are the future! Let them go to their coffins guarding their rifles!" Hiram Keith cursed like he was venting his anger while sitting on the sofa.

"The power of gunpowder gas can definitely form a continuously circulating system!"

He had been working on an automatic system for gunpowder gas for several years without success, and now he needed more materials and funds to try again.

However, since last year, the research applications he applied for have been frequently rejected.

The bosses and other designers at Smith & Wesson were not blind to the possibilities of automatic weapons.

But with the current gunpowder, it is completely impossible to achieve.

That's why I always reject him, hoping that he will turn to another direction.

What made him most angry was that his efforts over the years had been denied.

The general manager had a talk with him today. If he can no longer create profits for the company and wastes materials and funds to do some research that is not feasible now, he will be fired.

Just as he was venting his anger, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Hiram Keith opened the door angrily.

There were two unfamiliar Western Slavs outside.

"Who are you looking for?" Hiram Keith asked vigilantly.

"Is this Mr. Hiram Keith? Can we go in and talk?"

"Just say it here if you have anything to say!" Hiram Keith had no intention of letting the two in. After all, the security in the United States was well known.

Moreover, there is always a fierce look between the brows of these two people, and they don't seem like good people.

"A new job, are you interested, Mr. Keith? The salary is twice your current salary!" One of them shrugged, not minding Hiram Keith's attitude.

After all, this situation happens frequently.

It's not their fault that they look fierce.

Although they did kill people...it was just work, just to fulfill the boss's request, and it was not their fault.

Apart from that, they have not done anything bad. They have also introduced jobs to some poor female immigrants and protected their safety.

Who can say they are bad people? It's just that they are always misunderstood because of their appearance.

"Come in!" Hiram Keith opened the door and let the two go in to talk.

"What weapons company are you?"

"I can't tell you his name for now. I can only say that our boss is very rich and generous. He will definitely do what you say!" said a Pole with a smile.

"Why did you find me?"

"Actually, you're not the first one! We've also convinced several weapons experts! Of course, we also value Mr. Keith's abilities."

Why Keith...Because he has a wife and children.

This kind of people with families are easier to control.

In addition, it is said that this person does have the ability, but he always wants to research automatic weapons.

After learning what automatic weapons are, they decided their boss might need someone like this.

"In addition, our boss has already prepared accommodation for you, so you don't need to worry about your life at all."

"What position can I get if I go there?" This is the point that Hiram Keith cares about most. He is tired of the feeling of being strangled in research.

"We can't tell you that! But our boss's company is a new one, still in its infancy. Your development prospects there are definitely better than here!"

"I promise you!" Hiram Keith agreed without thinking when he heard this.

Since it is in the starting stage, there are many opportunities.

It's better than being here.

"So when are we leaving?"

The two Poles looked at each other and felt that the person in front of them was even more anxious than them!
"Three days!" the two Poles said directly, because Hiram Keith was the last one.

The people sent by Greater Poland this time were divided into two groups, heading to Massachusetts and New York respectively.

In addition to Smith & Wesson, Massachusetts also has an important arsenal, the Springfield Arms. They also wanted to poach people from the Springfield Arms, but failed.

Hiram Keys was the third designer they poached from Smith & Wesson.

……

Aaron led his men to Nob Hill that night, and another 800 people were added the next day.

He has more bodyguards than all the other wealthy people on Nob Hill combined, which makes the wealthy people on Nob Hill feel dizzy.

Moreover, people entering and leaving are checked several times a day, and most of Chen Zhengwei's bodyguards do not understand English.

This caused great trouble to the wealthy people.

But when they were unhappy, Chen Zhengwei was happy.

"Boss!" Dapolan came to Chen Zhengwei's office and saw the phone on Chen Zhengwei's desk. He became very interested and picked it up to listen.

"See that handle next to it? Shake it to generate electricity first!" Chen Zhengwei laughed at the country bumpkins under his command without disguising his feelings.

Dapolon shook the phone curiously, and then heard a female voice on the phone: "Who do you want to transfer to?"

And it was said in both Chinese and English.

"Your voice is so nice, you must be very beautiful in real life!" Dapolan said with a smile, then hung up the phone.

"Boss, I got the news! The Bank of California has recently added a lot of security personnel, and the finance department is working overtime every day. It is very likely that a large amount of funds will be transferred! And the time will be within a few days!"

"They are finally going to move!" Chen Zhengwei's eyes lit up and a smile appeared on his face when he heard the news.

“I wonder how much money they will mobilize!”

"This cannot be found out because they are very careful. It is only because we made preparations in advance that we were able to detect it!" said Dapolan.

Chen Zhengwei nodded, then pondered for a moment: "It seems that William Arlette is also going to New York soon?"

He doubted that William Arlett would go with the money.

After all, he didn't know he was eyeing the money.

He is also escorted by a group of security personnel, so it is much safer to travel this way!

"Keep keeping an eye on them and notify me if you have any news!"

After Dabolan left, Chen Zhengwei pulled over the generator box and shook it several times before picking up the phone: "Transfer to the Port Cafe!"

Soon, the call was transferred back to the port.

In a coffee shop at the port, a Chinese young man in gentleman's suit was flirting with a foreign girl behind the bar. When he heard the ringing sound from the side, he was stunned for a long time, and then he saw the bell on the phone vibrating continuously.

Only then did he realize that it was the phone ringing, and he hurriedly picked up the receiver and put it to his ear.

He squats here every day answering the phone.

"Is Ayou over there?" Chen Zhengwei's voice came from the receiver.

"Wei...Brother Wei?" the henchman said subconsciously, and then he reacted and put the cylinder to his mouth: "Brother You was on this street just now." At this time, in addition to the need to crank the phone, the phone only had a cylinder, which served as both the receiver and the microphone.

"Let him come to the club to find me!" Chen Zhengwei said, and then hung up the phone.

The henchman looked at the microphone in his hand in amazement. It was like talking in front of Brother Wei.

For Chen Zhengwei, the technological products that are commonplace and even seem like shit are full of magical power for people of this era.

Then he hurried out to find Yan Qingyou.

As soon as I reached the street corner, I saw a social activist giving a speech. The content of the speech was James' campaign proposals, which were mainly about immigration.

While other candidates were just getting started, James's campaign was already underway in San Francisco.

And they also know that James has a relationship with Chen Zhengwei, and Chen Zhengwei supports him to be mayor.

So other candidates are often chased off the streets or even hit with bricks when they just start campaigning on the streets.

Yesterday, a candidate from the Workers' Party wanted to come to the port to campaign, but after just ten minutes he was hit on the head by a brick that flew from nowhere.

More than half an hour later, Yan Qingyou came to Chen Zhengwei's club, where Chen Zhengwei was talking to a police officer.

Allen, the Chinatown team leader, was standing in front of Chen Zhengwei's desk like a subordinate.

"Alan, we all want to improve ourselves. This is human nature. Especially since you are so young, it is normal to want to make further progress. I support you very much. The most important thing is to find the right position!"

"After all, the San Francisco Bureau of Investigation is only this big and there are only so many positions. Unless the mayor is willing to allocate funds to expand the bureau!" Chen Zhengwei smiled.

"Although I also feel that the current size of the FBI is no longer able to cope with the public security situation in San Francisco!"

However, it is absolutely impossible to ask the mayor to allocate more funds to the Investigation Bureau.

"Maybe there will be an opportunity to expand the size of the Investigation Bureau next year!" Chen Zhengwei suggested after thinking for a while.

When James comes to power, he plans to push for changes to some laws.

First, contract the prison, then enact local regulations strictly prohibiting sleeping on the streets, and send all the homeless people to prison.

In this way, San Francisco’s public security and city image will definitely be greatly improved.

Then we will implement the misdemeanor system and issue some local regulations.

Violating local regulations is only a small problem, which is just a fine. However, there are search fees, conviction fees, fine assessment fees, court construction fees, various government fund fees, trial assessment fees, trial fees even if there is no trial, and public defense fees even if there is no defense lawyer.

These amounts are much higher than the fines they have to pay.

Of course, Chen Zhengwei is not a bad person.

For these fees and fines, they can apply for installment payments, with an installment interest rate of 12-20%, and the repayment period for principal and interest is 2 months.

If you still can't pay it by then, you will be given a suspended sentence.

Chen Zhengwei will open another probation supervision company to be responsible for supervision and collect supervision fees.

If you still can't pay it, then going to jail can also be used to pay off the debt.

However, jail time requires detention fees, meal fees, bed fees, and medical expenses if you are sick...

Chen Zhengwei has been thinking about this issue these days and has already come up with a complete plan to promote the rule of law in the United States.

What is the rule of law? It means that judges can rule as they wish.

The courts, investigation bureaus, and city governments all benefit from the process.

The current chaotic public security situation in San Francisco will also be greatly reduced, and we will strive to create a civilized city in the United States.

Although Chen Zhengwei is just a businessman, he has the mayor's heart at heart and can be said to have good intentions.

Of course, the money earned in the process is just a bonus.

……

"I understand, Mr. Chen! There is absolutely no problem with public security in Chinatown!" Alan understood and a smile appeared on his face.

Then he said goodbye and left, and greeted Yan Qingyou politely before leaving.

"Brother Wei, do I have to come to you if I want to get a promotion? Why don't you become the director of the investigation bureau?" Yan Qingyou said with a smile as he sat opposite Chen Zhengwei. After listening to a few words, he understood what Alan came here for.

"Is the Director of Investigation as powerful as me?" Chen Zhengwei asked back.

"The mayor is not as impressive as you!"

"That's it!" Chen Zhengwei took the cigar and lit it, then said, "I asked you to bribe the people at the railway company before..."

"Yes, it's mainly to guard against retaliation from Chicago! But there has been no movement for such a long time, could they be scared?" Yan Qingyou said.

"How can it be that simple?" Chen Zhengwei didn't believe that the other party would be scared.

With more than 20 US dollars, I guess they can hardly afford to wear pants now.

They are just waiting for an opportunity!
"Let people pay attention to the ports and train stations. The Bank of California will transfer a large sum of cash and gold soon!" said Chen Zhengwei.

If you want to move cash in San Francisco, you only have two options.

One is to take a boat around to the east coast, but this route is too long and risky.

Not only do you have to face pirates along the way, but there are also various other dangers.

Besides, there is still a war in South America, so it is impossible for the other side to take this route.

Then there is only one way left.

Shipped from Oakland to New York by train!

Yan Qingyou's eyes lit up: "Brother Wei, how much is it?"

"I'm not sure, I estimate it may be more than two million!" said Chen Zhengwei.

"I asked people to keep their eyes open 24 hours a day!" Yan Qingyou said immediately.

"Let our men keep an eye on the branches in California, but don't let them find out!" said Chen Zhengwei.

After finishing his business, Chen Zhengwei threw a cigar to Yan Qingyou and the two chatted.

"When are you going to do the thing with that girl?"

This was the girl who had been sold here before. Her ancestor had been a county magistrate, and then she was abducted and sold. This kind of thing was not uncommon in that era.

Yan Qingyou bought the person for 1,200 yuan.

"I'm still thinking..."

"What else do you want? Marry her first. If you like her later, you can take a concubine or keep her outside!" Chen Zhengwei said unhappily.

"No, Brother Wei, why do you care so much about this?" Yan Qingyou said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Nonsense, even the pillow talk has reached me!" Chen Zhengwei cursed with a smile.

Lin Changning didn't have much to talk to in Chinatown. Apart from the martial arts school, there were Rong Jiacai's wife and the woman that Yan Qingyou bought.

Recently, Lin Changning organized the dragon boat race with the help of these two women, and the relationship between the two sides can be imagined.

Lin Changning has talked about this with Chen Zhengwei several times.

"Besides, you should get married first and then build a career. If you don't get married, people will think you are a nobody when you go out to do things!" Chen Zhengwei completely forgot that he was full of regrets when he got married.
