Chapter 179 Brilliant and low-key

"About the council, if it's not convenient for you to tell me, just pretend I didn't ask." Fan Jiannan shrugged.

"There's nothing you can't say. Although the International Yixue Council has kept a low profile, there are no real secrets among the practitioners. Let alone you." Mr. Du smiled slightly. "The council has been around for a long time. If you really want to hear it, I suggest you have a few more coffees. Because it's a long story."

"Could it be longer than Wushu people?" Fan Jiannan was dumbfounded.

"Of course, the Yi Xue Council can't be compared with the millennium inheritance of Wushu people. The council was established only for more than 200 years, but its impact on the world is huge." Mr. Du paused.

"James Marshall discovered gold in California in 1848, which opened the first wave of Chinese immigration to the United States. At that time, 30 people flocked to California, hoping to realize their gold dream. At the same time, China suffered from the Opium War and the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. In the chaos of war, a large number of people in dire straits hoped to find a way out.

The golden dream spread from Hong Kong to the mainland through merchants, sailors, swindlers, and missionaries.Hundreds of landless farmers, through various legal and illegal means, went to the dream land of America.

So Jinshan became the earliest Chinese name of San Francisco. It was not called San Francisco until the gold mine was discovered in Melbourne, Australia.

But it is not a real place of dreams. On the contrary, overseas Chinese were discriminated against in various ways, and it was difficult to gain a foothold if they did not form a group.So there are many gangs in various Chinese settlements, and the council was established during that period. " Mr. Du said.

"Is the Yi Xue Council some kind of gangster?" Fan Jiannan asked in surprise.

"It was true at the time. You know that the earliest immigrants to the United States, their original intention was to seek gold. So many of them were real surveyors, and in that situation, the theory of fortune telling was very popular, so a group of magicians emigrated The formation of associations and parties became the embryonic form of the Yi Xue Council.

You should know how powerful a group of real magicians will be when they gather together.So by the time of the Revolution of [-], the council was already a fairly large group.The scale I am talking about is not in terms of numbers, but in terms of economics.There are not many real practitioners, but the wealth they gathered supported Mr. Zhongshan to carry out many revolutions.The contribution made by the council during the democratic revolution can be said to be unmatched by any civil society in modern times. " Mr. Du smiled.

Fan Jiannan was in awe, "I have heard of some. During the Revolution of [-], Mr. Sun Yat-sen received huge funding from overseas Chinese groups. Unexpectedly, although the original intention of the establishment of the council was a gang, it was a group of true patriots."

Mr. Du nodded and said, "It was not only the Revolution of [-], but also the period of the Anti-Japanese War. The Council of Yixue gave almost everything it had to fund the country's resistance to foreign captives, but it never revealed its true identity to anyone.

If you can look up the historical materials of that period, you will find that in that period, huge amounts of money often flowed from the United States to China without signing.

It was already in the 80s when I came into contact with the council.This organization has become more standardized and more low-key.It only deals with matters related to the sorcerer.Almost all practitioners are on file with the council.Of course, the council's business is getting bigger and bigger, and its potential influence is beyond the imagination of ordinary people. "

"What is potential influence?" Fan Jiannan frowned.

"The members of the council are all magicians. With this advantage, we can do a lot of things. This is a bit like your consulting company.

We're doing what we do traditionally, under a variety of names, in a variety of different institutions.

Policy evaluators, investment analysts, negotiators, think tanks for politicians, and even UN observers.

It is no exaggeration to say that even in the military operations of the US military in Iraq, someone asked one of our members when to start.

A few words from us can even affect the direction of the stock market in New York tomorrow.Does this count as potential influence? " Mr. Du smiled.

Fan Jiannan was stunned when he heard that, he stared blankly at Mr. Du and said, "Uncle, are you joking?"

Mr. Du smiled and said, "Since you, a young boy, can turn fortune-telling into a company. What's more, an organization like the Yixue Council with a history of 200 years. They have a tighter organization, a more open mind, and a more unified behavior." power.

Of course, we will not disclose our identity as a magician to the outside world, which is absolutely forbidden. "

Fan Jiannan sighed, "However, it's true when I think about it. I can also easily predict something by relying on hexagrams, and then formulate the most favorable and reasonable plan. I just didn't expect that your Yi Xue Council would have such a The great potential power already makes me feel a little scary."

Mr. Du sighed, "This is indeed a threat, at least some people already think so. That's why they took action against us. What happened in the world this time is a warning. What do you think about witchcraft?"

"Witchcraft, is it really a member of the Wu family..." Fan Jiannan frowned.

Mr. Du waved his hand and said, "The existence of the council must have violated the interests of some people. As for whether it is a witch or not, I never speculate without evidence. Forget it, let's not mention this matter. No matter who it is , they will always show their fox tails."

Fan Jiannan nodded, suddenly his heart skipped a beat without warning.He looked up at Mr. Du in astonishment and said, "Do you have other guests today?"

Mr. Du looked at him puzzled.

"It seems that someone is coming, four people, from the southeast. You are alone, the bodyguards are not around, and Po Jun has left. It seems that the fox you mentioned can't help but appear." Fan Jiannan smiled.

"Maybe, I'm really interested to see what these people want? I want to know who they are. Jiannan, can you help me take care of Sihai next door. I should be able to handle it." Mr. Du An understatement.

Fan Jiannan nodded and said, "Naturally. Si Hai is my cousin, and I won't watch him get hurt, but can you really deal with other people with confidence?"

"Maybe those people didn't come here to cause trouble, but wanted to talk to me. Last time they calculated the world, but they didn't hurt him. It must be for some purpose." Mr. Du pondered.

"But why did they choose this time to appear when there is no one around you to protect you." Fan Jiannan frowned, "No matter who they are, they must come here with bad intentions. You'd better be careful."

Mr. Du closed his eyes lightly, smiled and said, "They are still on the way, and they seem to be hesitating whether to come here. You should help me look around the world, these people are nothing to be afraid of."

Fan Jiannan nodded, got up and walked to the next room.

Mr. Du sat alone on the sofa, waiting for those inexplicable visitors.The lights in the old villa seemed dim due to insufficient voltage, casting a shadow on his face.Holding the coffee, Mr. Du turned on the music, Beethoven's Ninth Symphony, and his other hand tapped the armrest of the sofa rhythmically with the music.

Symphony No. [-], fourth movement, Presto, in D major.The music is gritty, strong and thrilling.The door downstairs is wide open to unknown visitors amidst the exciting music.
