Chapter 539 The Thirteenth District

When he walked out of the airport, he was surrounded by white people with blond hair and blue eyes, as well as black-haired, black-skinned African-Americans. Asians like Lin Fan with black scalp and yellow skin were in the minority.

In the airport, people of all colors spoke different languages. Outside were European buildings with different styles, and the streets were filled with foreign language, which made Lin Fan feel a strong sense of exoticism, and he couldn't help feeling a little more emotional.

After leaving the gate of the airport, the group took two taxis, one for Lin Fan and Wang Hao, and one for Xiaoya and Wang Hao's girlfriend Yaoyao.

After getting in the car, the driver greeted Lin Fan in French, and Lin Fan smiled silently.

At this time, the sky had gradually darkened. The road from the airport to the [-]th arrondissement of Paris was brightly lit on both sides. Pedestrians came and went in a hurry. It seemed that there was not much difference from the night scene near the sea, except for the skin color of the pedestrians. .

The taxi made seven turns and eight turns, and soon came to the [-]th arrondissement. Once here, Lin Fan felt that some places in the [-]th arrondissement of Paris were very similar in architectural style to the Chinese gathering places in Nanyang, but more The building is still full of European and American style.

What made Lin Fan feel friendly was that most of the roadside shop signs had Chinese prompts. Along the way, there were strange French words on the roadside. When I saw Chinese characters here, I felt kind.

Lin Fan took a closer look and found that the proportion of pedestrians on the street was also of Chinese descent. The further you went in, the more Chinese there were. Once inside, the pedestrians on the street were basically Chinese.

Wang Hao, who was sitting in front of Lin Fan, did not forget to introduce: "Here in Europe, there should be more Chinese in France. Most of the Chinese in France are concentrated in Paris, which is the place where the Chinese are most concentrated, except for Chinatown in the [-]th arrondissement. , as well as Chinatown in Meilicheng and Chinatown in Anfu City, but to be honest, the thirteenth district has the most Chinese and the most concentrated.”

Chinatown in the 13th arrondissement is located in the southeast of Paris, on the south bank of the Seine.It was originally an abandoned train station and old warehouse area, which is a typical slum area.

In the last century, many Chaoshan people went to Nanyang and emigrated to Cambodia, Vietnam and Laos.

However, because the political situation in these three countries has been turbulent, and the local aborigines are very hostile to the Chinese, many people choose to take refuge in France, the "suzerain" of the three countries.

It can be said that the Chaoshan immigrants at that time all came here as refugees.

At the beginning, the French government allocated Chinese refugees to various provinces. Later, because there were many Chaoshan people in the 13th district and it was easy to communicate with the people in their hometowns, the Chaoshan villagers kept pouring into the 13th district.

The rent of vacant houses in District 13 is relatively low, and it is convenient for centralized living and support. They soon took root here.They opened Chinese restaurants, laundry rooms, small department stores, garment factories, etc. here.

There are a lot of Chinese restaurants here, and the transportation is very convenient, but the hotel is relatively old and the environment is not very good.

Now the Chinatown in the 13th district has gathered about 15 Chinese, making it the largest Chinese settlement in Europe. The French call the [-]th district Hong Kong of the Seine.

Paris is an international metropolis, and the law and order environment is not as good as ordinary people imagine. Gangs of various ethnicities are prevalent, especially those blacks and some Eastern Europeans. These people can be said to do all kinds of evil in Paris.

Wang Hao briefly introduced Paris to Lin Fan. He especially reminded Lin Fan, don't think that France is a developed country, and the security here is particularly good. In fact, the security environment in Paris is far inferior to those big cities in China. .

Lin Fan just smiled kindly at Wang Hao's reminder and didn't take it seriously. To him, those gangsters are not worth mentioning at all.

Their destination is in the old town of District [-]. Although the environment there is not good, it is surrounded by ethnic Chinese, so it is the most suitable place for outsiders.

Wang Hao could see that Lin Fan didn't take his reminder seriously, and he said earnestly, "Brother Lin, don't believe me, the law and order here is very chaotic, one third of the people here are immigrants, and recently The immigrants for a few years are still some blacks and believers in the Green religion, these people are aggressive, you should pay attention when you first come here."

Lin Fan nodded perfunctorily. He suddenly thought of the Chinese gang that Xiaoya mentioned, so he asked with a smile: "I heard that our Chinese gang is in charge of the [-]th district. Those people outside should not dare to mess around?"

Hearing Lin Fan's question, Wang Hao snorted coldly and said, "Shit, Chinese gang, these people protect us Chinese in name, but in fact they specifically bully us."

"Don't listen to the nonsense from outsiders. The Chinese gang here dares to bully their own people and ask for protection money from us Chinese. They will be cowardly when they see foreigners."

"However, they all regard Chinatown as their own base, and gangs of other ethnicities outside will not come in casually. This can be regarded as pros and cons."

Wang Hao doesn’t think highly of the Chinese gangs here. According to him, these people certainly regard Chinatown as their own hunting ground, and they don’t let other gangs come in and enjoy the fat of the Chinese. They are not protecting the Chinese at all. , are some parasites that suck blood on Chinese immigrants.

Moreover, Chinese gangs seldom conflict with outside gangs. Most of the conflicts are between Chinese gangs attacking each other. , One is more cowardly than the other.

Regarding Wang Hao's statement, Lin Fan just smiled and didn't take it seriously. In any case, the purpose of these gangs at the beginning of their establishment was to protect the Chinese from being bullied by foreign gangs. From this point of view, there are still merits. at.

The two chatted like this, and soon arrived at their destination, in front of a dilapidated hotel in Chinatown.

After getting off the car, Lin Fan looked up at the hotel here, and frowned imperceptibly. He was very dissatisfied with the accommodation environment here. To him, money was not a big problem, even if he lived in a five-star hotel Class hotel is also more than adequate.

Wang Hao explained from the side with a smile: "This hotel is old, but the owner is our Chinese, and the house inside is also our Chinese. The price is cheaper, safer and more convenient than the outside, and there are Chinese restaurants around. The house I rented Just across from the hotel."

"When I first came to France, I lived in a place full of people from the Middle East, blacks, and Eastern Europeans. These people were restless and lost money several times. Later, I moved to this hotel and stayed for more than two months. , The boss is very nice and familiar with the locality, if you need someone, you can ask him to help you."

Lin Fan nodded and didn't say much. Although he was not very satisfied with the accommodation environment, this time he came to find someone, and it didn't matter where he lived.

After Xiaoya and Yaoyao got off the car, they went directly to the house they rented. Wang Hao took Lin Fan into the hotel. He and the boss looked familiar, greeted with a smile, and arranged a room for Lin Fan. house.

After entering, Lin Fan took a look. Although the outside was a bit dilapidated, the inside was very clean, with complete hardware and facilities. It was not comparable to a star hotel, but it had a warm atmosphere.
