The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 465: What's the use of just having a boat? There are bad guys outside!
What did Chen Zhengwei buy a warship for? What did Chen Zhengwei buy a warship for in the United States?
Didn't he win every time?

They heard about Chen Zhengwei's war with the United States on the way.

Not only did they fight a war with the United States, they also won, forcing the U.S. government to sign the Washington Treaty, which brought great honor to overseas Chinese.

"Of course, it's mainly transport ships. After all, I have a lot of business! The sea is not safe, there are pirates everywhere! What's the use of having only ships? There are bad guys outside, just delivering food to people! So there are some warships as well!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

A little bit.

The captains didn't understand what the word "takeout" meant, but they could guess it based on the context of Chen Zhengwei's words.

In fact, the areas with the most pirates are the South China Sea and the Strait of Malacca, as well as the Mediterranean Sea and the Caribbean Sea.

There are not many pirates on the Pacific route.

But they didn't say much. After all, if they wanted to run this line in the future, they would still need Chen Zhengwei's care.

Moreover, it would be May before they could return after resupplying and repairing the ship. There were typhoons from June to September and the ocean currents had changed, so they could only sail along the South China Sea route.

There are many ships on that line and the distance is closer, so the profit is far less than what Chen Zhengwei has here.

This Pacific route will not become busy again until January or February next year.

It would be better to help Chen Zhengwei for a while and then go back after September.

They were also curious about what kind of warship Chen Zhengwei bought.

The two sides settled the matter, and the captains asked when the ships would arrive at the shore and then said goodbye and left.

Chen Zhengwei called Ah Hu again.

"Ah Hu, the piglet ship brought more than a hundred children this time. Your sister-in-law wants to set up a welfare home." Chen Zhengwei said after calling Ah Hu over.

"Brother Wei, this is a good thing! Sister-in-law is kind-hearted, and those children will remember the kindness of Brother Wei and Sister-in-law in the future!" Ah Hu said with a smile.

"My sister-in-law has already told me, and I have asked someone to find a place for the orphanage."

"Yes, it's about accumulating good karma! Say hello to those Chinese businessmen, and I'll give them a chance to accumulate good karma! Let them donate some money to set up the welfare home!" Chen Zhengwei thought for a moment:
"I will set an example by donating $10,000! If I really donate the money, you don't have to refund me."

"Ah?" Ah Hu was slightly stunned.

Is there any refund for this donation?
"Normally, the money donated by those people will be divided into 30% and 70% respectively, and my money will be returned in full!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

Ah Hu then understood what Chen Zhengwei meant and immediately laughed.

"Brother Wei, you donated 10,000 US dollars. Do they have more or less than this amount?" Ah Hu asked after thinking for a while.

This is more or less, there are different opinions.

If you donate too much, what if Chen Zhengwei says: You donated more than me? Do you like to be in the limelight? Then you will become a headless person.

If the donation is too little, Chen Zhengwei can also say: I donated 10,000 yuan, and you donated less than me? You don't give me face, right?

So he had to get to the bottom of this matter.

"I want them to do good deeds, not to let them lose everything! This welfare home has been running for a long time and has to collect donations every year. How many people go bankrupt every year? Those who are rich can donate a few thousand dollars, and those who are less wealthy can donate a few hundred dollars. It will be enough to keep the welfare home running." Chen Zhengwei scolded with a smile.

"That's easy, I'll tell them in a minute!"

Chen Zhenghu is very familiar with the Chinese businessmen in Chinatown.

It would be most appropriate to let him handle this matter.

After leaving Chen Zhengwei, he found the Chinese businessmen one by one and explained the matter to them.

"This is a great thing! I can't be left out of this!"

Those Chinese businessmen did not hesitate and donated money.

People who run big businesses, like those at the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce, donate three to four thousand, or four to five thousand each.

Those with small businesses also donated four or five hundred yuan.

Over $100,000 was donated in one night.

The location was also found. A garment factory in Chinatown was going to move to the south area of Shichang Street. The contract had even been signed, so the location of the garment factory was transferred to Lin Changning. The factory building was ready-made and only needed a little bit of modification and tidying up before it could be lived in.

We will deal with it for half a year first, and once an area is built in Los Angeles, the welfare home will move to Los Angeles.

The next day, Lin Changning asked Chen Zhenghu to bring a group of thugs to help clean up, and the children who were sent there were also cleaned up.

The youngest was nine years old and the oldest was only thirteen, but children of this era matured precociously.

After cleaning up the factory and moving in a batch of beds and cabinets, they finally had a place to stay.

Then some wooden partitions were built to divide the factory into rooms, with ten people sleeping in one room.

After hearing about this, Chen Qiaoniang ran over and squatted to watch for a long time, then rolled up her sleeves to help.

By the way, I accidentally lost my homework.

Lin Changning also picked out a few women who looked gentle from the group of women who had just arrived to help out at the welfare home.

After all... in this era, no one is lazy, so the most important thing is character and clean hands and feet.

……

In a meeting room at the Ministry of Justice.

Minister Charles Deves knocked on the table when he saw everyone had arrived: "Let the meeting begin!" "You all know what situation we are facing now. We have completely lost control of some areas in the United States! We have no jurisdiction over certain criminal activities!"

"Those gangs bribed, threatened, and controlled the judicial system in various ways, turning the police officers who were supposed to fight crime into their thugs."

"We must change this or American law will become a joke!"

Everyone listened with a serious look on their faces.

This situation has actually always existed.

But even though gangs bribed police officers in the past, they were still generally under the management of the police station.

Although criminal acts are unavoidable, they still exist in the dark corners of every city, hiding from the sunlight.

However, the situation is different now. The Chinese guy has become very big.

Now the police departments in San Francisco, California, and Chicago have completely become his thugs.

And it's not just him. The Bureau also lacks control over other parts of the United States and the ability to enforce the law across state lines.

"Our newly established investigation bureau was born for this purpose! We need to get the bureau up and running as soon as possible. What do you think?" Charles Deves looked at everyone.

"Clerks are easier to deal with, mainly the detectives who need investigation!" said the Assistant Attorney General for civil affairs.

"These people need to have skills, wisdom, ability, and loyalty to the federal government! I suggest that we draw elite personnel from police stations across the country."

"Let's not talk about whether they are willing to release the people... We previously dispatched a group of elite agents to Chicago, but most of them died there. Only a very few survived... So it is difficult for us to draw elite agents from all over the place." Someone immediately said helplessly.

This is the current embarrassing situation of the Department of Justice. A group of elite agents were previously dispatched, but they all died in Chicago.

Even if there are still elite agents in various places now, they are unwilling to release people.

Besides, for most people, working in the Ministry of Justice may not be better than working in the local police station.

Those people are backbone personnel in the local police station, and their social status and income are very stable... To put it more bluntly, the money they collect from the gangs every month is at least enough for half a year's salary.

However, the Justice Department's investigative bureau not only has little pay, but also requires traveling all over the United States, which is extremely dangerous.

"The best way is for us to train them ourselves, but that's too slow. It takes at least two to three years to train a qualified agent!" Another person also spoke up.

“That’s why we are meeting here. I don’t want to hear the reasons and difficulties, I just want to know how to solve it.”

A moment later, Jonathan P. Wells, a logistics officer in the Office of Administration, tapped the table and said, "I have an idea."

After everyone else looked over, he continued, "Detective!"

"We can absorb those detectives into the Bureau of Investigation to make up for the current difficulties in the Bureau's preparations."

"We have also cooperated with those detective agencies in many previous cases! They are very familiar with the law and the situation of local police stations, and they are very capable of taking action. They have always been doing things to combat crime. They are the most suitable candidates."

"In addition, in addition to the detective agency's operatives, their intelligence system is also what we need!"

The Attorney General and others thought about it for a moment and decided that this was indeed a good idea.

The only question is who to include.

"The Pinkerton Detective Agency is the best at this. You should all be familiar with them. They are the largest, most professional, and have a complete intelligence system. In addition, almost all the people at their headquarters died at the hands of that Chinese. Their hatred for that Chinese is what we need."

"Almost all of their headquarters staff and senior executives were killed, but there are still many branch personnel in other places, and they are spread all over the United States. The agents we sent to Chicago had contact with them before."

"Later, the operation failed. Our agents suffered huge casualties in two failed operations. One was an attempt to raid and arrest Chen Zhengwei at a banquet... The other was an operation with the army... It was not their fault. I think they are trustworthy."

"Contact them! This matter is left to you!" Minister Charles Deves thought this was a good idea.

These detective agencies have a lot of cooperation with the Department of Justice, especially the Pinkerton Detective Agency, which has previously contracted some outsourced work for the Department of Justice, including interstate investigations, tracking and arresting fugitives, and can even issue wanted warrants independently, making it half of the department's team.

"In addition to them, contact other detective agencies as well."

“We need to add personnel to the Bureau as soon as possible so that it can function and carry out its mission.”

Jonathan P. Wells from the logistics department met a young man of German descent in a cafe after get off work.

"I have done what I promised you! Next I will contact the people from the Pinkerton Detective Agency and recruit them into the investigation bureau."

"Thank you Mr. Wells for everything you have done!" the other party said with a smile.

The two sides chatted briefly and then left.

There was no financial dealings between Jonathan P. Wells and Chen Zhengwei's men.

But next, a Newway tableware company in New York will receive a large order, a very profitable one.

Moreover, the other party paid the full amount of the goods directly and had no requirements on the delivery time.
