The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 678: The Hero
Three days later, Chen Zhengwei rushed to Naha from Tokyo.

As he had learned before, due to the depth of the port, Naha could not allow large ships to dock, and only some small and medium-sized merchant ships and fishing boats entered and exited the port.

It is quite lively here. In addition to fishing boats, there are also a large number of merchants from all over East Asia docking here.

A large number of seagulls were flying around the ship, trying to find some food.

Huapao and Changhong were very dissatisfied with this. They felt that their territory was threatened.

Huapao stood on the mast, jumping and shouting "Poujiezai", pacing back and forth on the mast.

Changhong shouted the new words he had just learned: "Smith Maasai (Sorry)".

The two parrots pounced over and joined the seagulls. Bird feathers fell all over the sky, and the seagulls' sharp cries were mixed with curses such as "Pu Jiezi!" "Pu Jiezi!" "Pu Jiezi!"

"It's really lively!" Chen Zhengwei looked up at the sky, then went down the gangway next to him with Lin Changning.

"You are like the bird you raise!" Lin Changning said as he went down the gangway.

The two took a small boat and transferred to a torpedo boat to head to the port.

Okinawa government officials are already waiting here in groups.

"Welcome, Mr. Chen!"

“Okinawa is a beautiful place!”

The translator sent by the embassy followed Chen Zhengwei to translate.

"You guys hand over to them!" Chen Zhengwei said to the people following behind him.

Although the combined population of the Ryukyu Islands is only 30, the handover will not happen overnight.

"Who are those?" Chen Zhengwei looked into the distance and saw a group of people looking over here.

"Yes...some local families!"

"Let them come over!" Chen Zhengwei nodded. These people should be the big families in Ryukyu.

Soon, a group of people came to see Chen Zhengwei.

"Excuse me, are you Mr. Chen?" the other party asked.

All the members of these large families have received Chinese education and can speak and write Chinese.

As for ordinary Ryukyuans, they speak Ryukyuan, a local language different from Chinese and Japanese.

After being annexed by Japan for several years, there are now many people who can speak Japanese.

"Mr. Chen, are you representing the United States on this trip, or...?" an old man asked cautiously.

Chen Zhengwei's Han Chinese appearance always makes them associate Chen Zhengwei with the Qing Dynasty.

"I'm an American!" Chen Zhengwei glanced at the other person.

"So what's next for Ryukyu?"

"Of course you have to accept my management! I have rented this place for thirty years!" Chen Zhengwei turned his gaze elsewhere and looked around.

After hearing the news, the Ryukyu families were a little disappointed, but soon cheered up again: "If Mr. Chen needs our help in Ryukyu, please let us know! We will do our best!"

"We really need you to do something! Ryukyu will form a new government to manage it, and public security, justice, and taxation will all be under the control of the new government!"

"You are a big family in Ryukyu, I can reserve some positions for you. And you need to assist my people to manage this place!"

"I'm a very easy person to talk to, provided you don't cause trouble for yourself and don't have any ulterior motives!"

"If I can snatch this place from the Japanese, I can naturally kill you all!" When Chen Zhengwei said this, although his tone was still calm, the murderous aura on his body had already emanated from him.

"Understood, Lord Chen, don't worry, we all understand!" The Ryukyu families quickly agreed.

From time to time, I would glance behind Chen Zhengwei and see the Chinese people with guns coming down from the boat. They all had guns slung around their waists with their hands on the gun handles.

This gun is different from any they have seen, but since Chen Zhengwei was able to force Japan to sign the Japan-US Treaty of Amity, they naturally would not doubt the strength of the people under Chen Zhengwei.

"Where's the best place to live here?"

"It's already been prepared for Mr. Chen."

"Let's go and take a look first!" Chen Zhengwei felt that these Ryukyu families were not so stupid after all.

To be honest, these people's abilities and vision are very limited. At most, they can broaden their horizons when they go to the Qing Dynasty or Tokyo to pay tribute, or hear some news from other merchants.

Even worse than those officials in Hawaii.

After all, most of the officials in Hawaii are American or European businessmen who have seen the world and have certain abilities.

Leaving some people behind to hand over the work to the Okinawa officials, Chen Zhengwei led his men to a place with a courtyard and wooden buildings with red tiles. The courtyard was not very big, but could barely be considered exquisite.

This is the house of a wealthy family in the local area.

In the courtyard, several girls were kneeling on the ground.

Lin Changning glanced at them and said, "Stand up and raise your head so I can see."

The girls hesitated for a moment and then stood up and looked up. Lin Changning looked at them one by one. They had good looks, with traces of sunburn on their skin, but it was still delicate. It was obvious that they were not from an ordinary family.

Most likely she is a girl from a local prominent family.

"We are not bad people who eat people. You just work here for a few days and we will leave in a few days!" Lin Changning said calmly and indifferently.

But no one was allowed to take these girls away.

In that case, they will worry that they and others are not satisfied.

"Yes, ma'am!" The girls looked at Lin Changning with some nervousness in their eyes and spoke with a strong accent.

Chen Zhengwei looked at it briefly, then lost interest. He found a chair to sit down, took out a cigar, lit it, and said:

“You should be familiar with the local area.”

"Yes, Lord Chen, we are very familiar with the situation in Ryukyu."

"Select some capable people from your tribe to help my people familiarize themselves with the local situation and form a new government. Another group of people will come in a few days. When the time comes, you will send the disciples of your tribe to the ship and go to San Francisco to see the world!" Chen Zhengwei said slowly.

Those people looked at each other and agreed with gritted teeth. "Yes, Master Chen."

"Call me Mr. Chen. Why do you think I let your family members go to San Francisco? Protons?" Chen Zhengwei spoke slowly, then smiled and pointed at everyone with the cigar in his hand: "You are not worthy!"

"I just want to let you see the world, and also let you feel at ease to help me do things!"

"Besides, if they broaden their horizons, maybe we can dig out two capable people from among them. In the future, we still have to rely on local people to manage this place."

Chen Zhengwei's undisguised arrogance.

But these people don't care.

That is the fact, they are a small country with few people.

"Mr. Chen, some of the best people in the family are not here now. They will rush back after receiving the news. Let's arrange some people from home to help first..." everyone said hurriedly.

The outstanding sons of these major families either stayed in Tokyo like Ma Jiancai, or looked for opportunities in the Qing Dynasty to write to the Zongli Yamen and seek restoration of their country.

Now that such a big change has happened, they have already sent people by boat to the Qing Dynasty to notify them.

Chen Zhengwei nodded slightly, leaning back on the sofa and puffing out cigar smoke: "Introduce yourselves!"

Then everyone introduced themselves, namely Ryukyu Ma, Xiang, Weng, Tomigusuku Mao family and Ikejo Mao family.

Among them, the Xiang family is a illegitimate branch of the Shang family of the Ryukyu royal family.

After a moment, Chen Zhengwei waved his hand and sent them away, asking them to choose good people from the family.

Watching them retreat backwards, Chen Zhengwei withdrew his gaze.

These people seem honest, but only now. Chen Zhengwei's people don't understand the local language or Japanese, and San Francisco is far away.

These people will definitely try to sideline Chen Zhengwei.

This is inevitable.

At that time, a group of people will have to be killed to serve as a warning to others.

That night, a henchman came to inform Chen Zhengwei: "Boss, I heard from the merchants at the port that the King of Hawaii was here two days ago!"

"They had been here once before, so some people still remember them."

"He was in Siam before, and then came back here. He probably went to ask the Japanese for help! Now that I have defeated all the Japanese, who can he ask for help? He probably went back to Hawaii." Chen Zhengwei sneered.

He didn't even need to think to know the King of Hawaii's plans and whereabouts.

"Send a telegram to Hawaii and ask them to make the arrangements!" said Chen Zhengwei.

Soon, the news spread to Hawaii.

At this time, even the officials of the Hawaiian cabinet did not know that the King of Hawaii was on his way back, but Chen Zhengwei's subordinates in Hawaii already knew it.

Chen Fang, several other wealthy Chinese businessmen, and Huang Quanzheng hurried to a manor.

Some Chinese people in hunting suits can be seen coming in and out of the manor. They are all from the security company.

After entering the house, I saw a thin young man standing there. He had a hooked nose, cold eyes, and a scar at the corner of his mouth.

This man is Yan Qingjie. He is one of the few members of the Yan family who works in a security company. He has just been promoted to team leader and is considered a third-tier figure.

But in Hawaii, he is a top-tier figure.

"Mr. Yan!" Several people bowed hurriedly.

"Sit down!" Yan Qingjie curled his lips at the few people.

He was shot in the face while doing something before, leaving his face disfigured and his smile extremely stiff.

But it didn't have much effect on him, as he didn't like to laugh.

After these people sat down, Yan Qingjie sat on the sofa opposite them and said, "The King of Hawaii is on his way back to Hawaii."

Hearing this, these people felt nervous.

"Mr. Yan, what should we do?"

"Wait until he gets off the boat, create a riot, and take the opportunity to kill him!" Yan Qingjie said lightly.

"You have hundreds of guns, more than the local security forces. Don't say this is difficult!"

"No! Mr. Yan, I'll take care of this!" Huang Quanzheng said immediately.

The last time Huang Quanzheng led people to kill those Japanese laborers at night, Chen Zhengwei was very satisfied.

The director of the recently established Hawaii labor company was sent from San Francisco, and his deputies are Huang Quanzheng and others.

This made Huang Quanzheng's influence expand in a short period of time, even higher than that of Chen Fang, the wealthy Chinese.

Now that he heard of this opportunity, he naturally would not miss it.

Chen Zhengwei has clear rewards and punishments. If he does this job well, his position will naturally be consolidated in the future, and he may even be able to climb up.

"Then leave it to you! If you need help, just tell them!" Yan Qingjie cast an admiring look at Huang Quanzheng.

Those who came from security companies, like Chen Zhengwei, admired Huang Quanzheng's courage and bravery.

"If local officials try to stop us... kill them all!"

After the group left the manor, Huang Quanzheng and his men left in a swagger.

Chen Fangmian stood beside the carriage and watched for a moment before looking away expressionlessly.

Huang Quanzheng is climbing up the ladder too fast. He was originally just a labor leader with a little influence in the community, but now he is almost above him. Even he has to give him some ground.

However, even if he was dissatisfied, he did not dare to cause any trouble.

……

In a garden building in Singapore, Lin Fuyuan held a newspaper and exclaimed: "Mr. Chen has done a great thing! He just snatched Ryukyu from Japan!"

Although it was a lease, he knew Chen Zhengwei's character and knew that the other party would definitely not return it.

"With Ryukyu as a gateway and Hawaii, it's easy to get here from the United States!"

"What do you mean by smooth sailing?" Someone walked in from outside the door and laughed heartily.

I saw a middle-aged man with bright eyes and a majestic appearance, and behind him was a tall young man.

"Director Zhang!" Lin Fuyuan stood up quickly. The person who came in was Lin Mingsheng's good friend Zhang Yan, who had stayed in San Francisco for some time.

After returning to Singapore, he also had high praise for Chen Zhengwei.

Lin Fuyuan knew about this relationship.

So this time when he returned to Nanyang, he contacted those societies and associations to transport the Chinese to San Francisco. He personally contacted some wealthy businessmen and associations, and then asked Zhang Yan to contact those societies.

Zhang Yan still has quite a bit of face in these associations.

"Boss Lin!" Zhang Yan said with a smile.

After both parties sat down, Lin Fuyuan handed the newspaper to Zhang Yan: "I mean, Mr. Chen has done something really big!"

Zhang Yan took it curiously, read the newspaper carefully, and clapped his hands in admiration: "It's really amazing! He actually leased Ryukyu! He is getting bigger and bigger!"

"Although there are more and more enemies, in today's world, all the great powers are constantly expanding their colonies. A real man should rule the world!"

"If this news gets out, it will cause a sensation again."

Zhang Ziang followed Zhang Yan and read the newspaper. He also exclaimed in admiration: "Brother Chen really makes us overseas Chinese look more respectable!"

While speaking, he glanced at Zhang Yan's expression.

In fact, after returning to Singapore, he has been receiving news about Chen Zhengwei in North America. He has long wanted to work with Chen Zhengwei and has discussed this with Zhang Yan several times.

However, Zhang Yan disagreed.

Everything Chen Zhengwei did involved guns, cannons, and bullets.

Although Zhang Ziang's kung fu is pretty good, it is difficult for him to even protect himself in that environment. To put it bluntly, it all depends on how strong his luck is.

If you are lucky enough and have a strong character, you can make a career.

If you are not strong enough, you will lose your life one day.

According to Zhang Yan, it is okay for him to go. He can leave incense and worship for his son and let him go wherever he wants.

After all, Zhang Yan had no children, so he relied on Zhang Ziang to leave descendants for the family.

Zhang Yan also ignored Zhang Ziang. When he first met Chen Zhengwei in San Francisco, he felt that he was a powerful person. If he didn't die suddenly, he would definitely be able to dominate the world.

I just didn't expect it to happen so quickly. In just a few short years, it has become so popular all over the world.

It took a long time before he put down the newspaper and started talking about business.

"I went through the things you mentioned before, and I gained some results."

"Quanyi Society, Dabo Society, Hehe Society, and Hesheng Society have agreed!"

"Haishan and Cunxin haven't given me any news yet."

"Yixing and Yifu both refused!"
