The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 472 Too Bully

"No fighting, no acquaintance. Even brothers have quarrels sometimes, so how can subordinates not fight?" Aaron laughed, walked over, put his arm around the major staff officer's shoulder and walked inside.

"Don't worry, nothing serious will happen."

"It's just a fight down there. I'll have someone tell them to back off. We should drink and have some fun!"

"We can't let this affect our friendship!"

"Our boss has always had a good relationship with you. There is a man named... Churchill. Yes, Churchill. His family is very powerful in Britain, right? Our boss has a very good relationship with him! And that Edward from last time! Our boss still communicates with him frequently."

Hearing Aaron say this, the major felt relieved.

Upon learning that the remaining major officer had taken people to the police station to ask them to release the person, Aaron immediately patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, leave it to us!"

The major staff officer asked the soldier to go over and inform them to exercise restraint.

Don't cause more trouble.

After all, they are the British Navy, and they are here to rest and replenish supplies.

If it really was an attack on the police station, the nature of the incident would be different.

America was not a British colony.

Twenty minutes later, Aaron's henchman ran over and whispered something in his ear, and Aaron's face changed.

Seeing this, the major staff officer sitting opposite him asked, "Is there any trouble?"

Aaron looked at him, and said with a fake smile: "Your people beat up my henchman in the bar and raped his girlfriend..."

"Will you give me an explanation?"

Hearing what Aaron said, the major staff officer also felt something was wrong and said, "It might be a misunderstanding!"

"What a misunderstanding!" Aaron cursed and grabbed the bottle next to him and smashed it against the wall.

He looked unhappy, and after a moment he suppressed his anger and said, "You are guests from afar, and you are guests. Brother Wei asked me to entertain you. But this is not how I will entertain you!"

Pointing outside the hotel, he said, "There are so many brothels and prostitutes in San Francisco. Why don't they go find someone to rape? And the woman of my henchman?"

"If it's true, I'm sorry. I need to know the situation. How are our people now?"

"What else can I do? I was caught by the police. This is America after all... America abides by the law!" Aaron stared at the other party and said, "I'm not targeting you. This is not the first time we've dealt with each other."

"And like I said, our boss has a very good relationship with the Churchill family, as well as Edward who came last time. I don't want something to destroy our cooperation."

"But I have to give an explanation to the people below about this matter!"

"People are in jail now. Not only your people, but my people have also been arrested."

"This is America, after all, there are laws! Neither we nor you can do whatever you want here!"

"You need to control your men. It's fine for them to rest and have fun in San Francisco these two days, but don't cause trouble! And don't let something like what happened today happen."

"Then what about our people?" asked the major staff officer with a frown.

"Like I said just now, every country has its own laws, and the United States is a place with laws." Aaron said slowly.

"No, I must take the person away!" The major staff officer became anxious when he heard this. They came to deliver the ship, but the person ended up in an American prison. What was going on?

"I also have to give an explanation to my men!" Aaron said firmly.

The major staff officer looked at him for a while before saying, "I want to see your boss, Mr. Chen!"

"My boss is asleep now. He hates being disturbed the most. If you have anything to say, let's talk about it tomorrow." Aaron shrugged.

……

"The British want to see me? Tell them it's afternoon!" Chen Zhengwei was yawning while having breakfast in the club. Anna was beside him, sipping Cantonese-style breakfast tea.

And Yan Qingyou sat opposite.

After the henchmen left, Yan Qingyou continued to speak: "Yesterday I confronted those British people for more than two hours! They left because they saw no other way!"

"Su Ya was in prison yesterday and gave those British guys a hard time. Today they all have colds and fevers."

"Just say that the Investigation Bureau won't let them find a doctor. Let's torture them first and then find them a doctor in two days!" Chen Zhengwei said lightly.

"It doesn't matter if we kill a few more, but we can't kill them all! After all, we still have to continue cooperating with the British in the future!"

After dinner, another piece of news came. After a long few months, Pratt Company was finally inherited by someone.

It was the company that, together with Remington, froze the equipment purchased by Chen Zhengwei.

After the boss's entire family was killed and the factory was burned down, the company's value dropped from over $6 million at its peak to just over $1 million today.

Chen Zhengwei's subordinate spent one million dollars to buy the factory. The next step was to dismantle the factory and transport it to San Francisco.

The most important thing was to send the factory workers to San Francisco together.

Pratt Company mainly produces industrial equipment, including stamping machines, casting machines, and some other large equipment. Although the boss is gone now, those workers are still a valuable asset.

It would be worth spending a little more to provide homes for those workers, and the move from East Hartford to San Francisco would increase all employees' salaries by a third.

Send them all to San Francisco, and many devices will be produced and manufactured in-house in the future.

After dealing with this matter, Chen Zhengwei asked someone to call the British Navy over.

There were two lieutenant colonels and three major commanders this time, including the naval staff officer, and the others were warship commanders.

When the group arrived at Chen Zhengwei's office, Chen Zhengwei stood up with a smile and asked, "How is it, is the American girl very enthusiastic?"

"I thought you wouldn't be able to get up today!"

"In the end, you all walked in here. Are you dissatisfied with something?"

"Mr. Chen, thank you for your hospitality, but now there is something..."

"Sit down and talk, why are you standing?" Chen Zhengwei asked them to sit down, then he smiled while smoking a cigar:
"You want to talk about the fight last night?"

"It's just a small matter! The fight between our men won't affect us!"

"Five people died, and some were arrested by the police." A lieutenant colonel commander said in a deep voice. This is the problem.

Five people died. This is the news that just came from the hospital.

Chen Zhengwei smiled and said slowly: "Fighting is a small matter, and death is also a small matter. But those who were caught in the police station are not a small matter."

"He seriously injured several of my men and raped a woman... What do you think of this?"

"I am the most disciplined and reasonable person."

"Since you are here, I will naturally treat you to delicious food and drinks. But it was your people who caused all this trouble!"

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry about what happened last night. We must take the person away." said another lieutenant colonel.

"Do you think there are no laws in the United States? This is America... If they break the law, how can they be taken away? Even so many of my people have been arrested." Chen Zhengwei sneered.

"Mr. Chen, we know this is your place..." "No, this is the United States, the place of the US government. Don't make a mistake!" Chen Zhengwei waved his hand, then laughed: "Don't worry too much. It's just a few people. They were arrested by the police and died in the police station. They just need to give an explanation to the people below. You can just go back and protest to the US government."

"Mr. Chen, this will affect our cooperation and transactions!" the major staff officer gritted his teeth.

"What are you talking about?" Chen Zhengwei looked at him in confusion and pointed out the window: "How much is their life worth? Is one hundred dollars enough? Two hundred dollars? Or three hundred dollars?"

Then he sneered: "Do you know what we are talking about?"

"We are talking about a multi-million dollar business!"

"You sailed the ship all the way here from England. Do you think those few people will affect this transaction?" Chen Zhengwei swept his eyes across their faces.

"Do you agree?"

Chen Zhengwei changed the position of his crossed legs, put a cigar in his mouth, lit it and said:

"No one will allow any problems to occur in this business! Including your boss, Edward, Churchill! Including all the people involved in this transaction." Chen Zhengwei had a bit of sarcasm and mockery on his face.

"You know better than me how many people are waiting to share this money!"

"If something goes wrong with this business, forget about the future."

Neither the Navy Headquarters nor his superiors like him.

"It's them who are going to die now, not you... Do I need to explain this more?"

Chen Zhengwei's merciless words made the major's expression freeze instantly.

The others also frowned and remained silent.

"To put it bluntly, this incident was caused by you. I have always been very hospitable... I am willing to make friends with you and have prepared gifts for you!" Chen Zhengwei changed the subject and clapped his hands.

Someone immediately carried a box and placed it in front of them, then opened it.

Revealing stacks of cash inside.

"This is $150,000! This is not because of them... but because I want to make friends with you! I am always generous to my friends!"

Chen Zhengwei received this money because these people were captains of battleships of the Pacific Fleet and the two sides would have dealings in the future.

He had already asked someone to prepare the money.

Taking it out now will also let them know that we can put this matter behind us. Then you can take the money and become friends. This will be good for everyone.

After accepting the money, everyone became harmonious.

It was all because of those few people that the fight got so intense.

You choose.

Several people looked at the money in front of them, without reaching out for it, but they also didn't say anything. It was obvious that they were weighing the pros and cons in their minds.

"Tens of thousands of people died in the war, and these are just a few deaths... I know you want to give an explanation to your men, so let me give you some face. I will release most of the people I arrested last night."

"This way you have an explanation for your subordinates! As for the remaining few... they broke the law in the United States and were arrested by the American police... Even if they are British, they must abide by American laws in the United States."

"If you want to find someone, go to the US government. Whether you protest or send a diplomatic letter, I don't care!"

After Chen Zhengwei finished speaking, he stopped talking and just looked at the few people.

After a moment, the two lieutenant colonels looked at each other and one of them closed the box.

"It seems that you are planning to make me your friend? In the future, when my boat is on the sea, you must take care of it when you see it!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

"Enjoy your time in San Francisco these days and enjoy the enthusiasm of the blonde girls!"

"After you return to the UK, if you need any help, you can also talk to me!"

"If you want to get promoted, you must have money and connections. This is the way to success, no matter which country you are in. I can help you with all these!"

After Chen Zhengwei's soft and hard tactics, these naval officers quickly compromised.

After all, a few crew members are not that important to them, and certainly not as important as the money they get.

As long as Chen Zhengwei can release some of the people, they will be able to give an explanation to their subordinates.

As for the rest, they were arrested by the US police. They will naturally protest and negotiate with the United States.

As for when it is released and whether it is released as a whole or in a handful, the impact is not significant.

"Since you are here, why not play in the casino for a while? If you lose, it's my responsibility!" Chen Zhengwei stood up and took a few people downstairs.

"Ah Cheng." Chen Zhengwei called the club manager in the casino: "Have someone get them chips! Whatever they lose, it's on me!"

Chen Zhengwei watched them play for a while and said to his henchman, "Keep an eye on them!"

Chen Zhengwei was not afraid that they would lose a lot. He just wanted people to keep an eye on these people and see which one of them liked to gamble.

Then they set a trap for him and made him owe a large sum of money.

As we all know, compulsive gamblers are easy to buy.

Although sometimes bad things can happen.

In fact, the people who came this time were not important people. Really important people would never be sent to do this kind of transportation mission.

But if you can hold it in your own hands, it will be useful in the future.

These people were relatively restrained in the casino, especially since they were carrying a box of money. They played for a while and then left.

Chen Zhengwei was too lazy to care how they dealt with their subordinates after they returned.

After the chaotic fight at the dock, the British naval soldiers also realized that the local Chinese were different from those in Southeast Asia, and that this was America, not their colony.

After that, he calmed down a lot.

Although they were not convinced by Chen Zhengwei's men, after all, their three or four hundred people were beaten by more than a thousand people yesterday.

There were occasional provocations over the next few days.

However, Chen Zhengwei's men were not afraid of them.

Small-scale conflicts occurred from time to time between the two sides, with dozens of people fighting in groups, and they all remained rational and did not use guns.

At the same time, a letter of protest was sent to Washington, which was sent by the British ambassador.

When the Assistant to the Secretary of State saw the letter of protest in his hand, he began to have a headache, but he still handed the letter of protest to the Secretary of State in a businesslike manner.

"So, the British sold the battleship to the Chinaman, and then the guy was caught in San Francisco?" The Secretary of State looked disgusted when he talked about the Chinaman.

"Then he sent us a letter of protest? Asking us to release him?"

The Secretary of State held the cup in his hand, and his chest heaved violently.

He felt that the British were really bullying.
