Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

Wow, they've really gone all out!

Even if things succeed in the end, after deducting the portion given to Sun Yee On and the daily personnel expenses, how much profit will Huang Long ultimately receive?

Xiang Huayan immediately understood that Huang Long's ambitions were far-reaching.

However, he was not prepared to refuse;

He also wanted to get involved with Henry.

The British are becoming increasingly greedy, and their oppression of triad organizations is intensifying. The Sun Yee On triad urgently needs to find a new patron to safeguard its interests.

"I will try my best to help you with this, but it's not guaranteed to work out."

Xiang Huayan tapped the table lightly.

"Mr. Xiang, please rest assured, I will be satisfied as long as you do your best."

Huang Long smiled slightly, and the anxiety in his heart gradually subsided.

What he feared most was that Xiang Huayan would refuse him outright;

As long as you agree, there is hope.

Xiang Huayan nodded: "Okay, wait for my news!"

If it works out, I will let you know in advance the time of your meeting with Henry Getty.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Xiang. I'm counting on you for everything."

The two shook hands and said goodbye.

After leaving the restaurant, Huang Long was quite excited.

He knew that if the cooperation could be successfully reached this time, he would no longer be limited to the current situation, and his life would usher in new development opportunities.

After returning to his office, Xiang Huayan quickly summoned the core members of the gang to discuss how to facilitate a meeting with Henry and devise conditions that would appeal to him.

An hour later, in the lobby of the Sun Yee On headquarters, all the gang's top leaders were present; the "One King," the "Five Tigers," and the "Ten Heroes" were all gathered together, and the entire conference room was filled with a serious and tense atmosphere.

The so-called "One King," "Five Tigers," and "Ten Heroes" here refer to the new Yi An power structure meticulously constructed by Xiang Huayan, the new leader of the Xiang clan.

In 1956, in the face of a large-scale crackdown on gangs by the police, several branches emerged within the Sun Yee On triad, such as King Yee, Yee Kwan, and Tai Ho Choi.

To this end, Xiang Huayan initiated sweeping reforms, ultimately establishing a hereditary "leadership" system within the Xiang family, which was gradually perfected into a rigorous organizational structure.

In this system, the Xiang family, as the "leader," possesses the highest authority.

A special operations group was set up under it, which was responsible only to the "Dragon Head". It was composed of a mysterious figure and five bigwigs (known as the "Du Zidui").

In addition, a special "Zhashu" (in charge of the club's accounts) was established to manage the club's finances.

The Sun Yee On triad was divided into districts, with each district having a headman who oversaw "sitting heads" and "accountants," forming a hierarchical "district head system."

The "Five Tigers" and "Ten Heroes" are the core of power under the "One King" (i.e., the Xiang family), assisting the "Dragon Head" in managing gang affairs.

The five tigers are: Wong Chun, the Tiger of Tsim Sha Tsui; To Lin-shun, the Tiger of Tsim Sha Tsui; Chan Yiu-hing, the Tiger of Wan Chai; Lai Chi-keung, the Tiger of Tuen Mun; and Mak Ko, the Tiger of Hung Hom.

The Ten Outstanding Individuals: "Ghostly Li Yutian," "Tsim Sha Tsui Overlord Li Tailong,"

Wan Chai Twin Tigers: Wong Kam Keung, Wan Chai Twin Tigers: Wong Sik Ming, Wong Tin Sung, Tsim Sha Tsui Flying Dragon, North Point Younger Brother, Tuen Mun Big Brother Lai, Ko Teng Fei, Ching Lai.

The Sun Yee On triad is tightly organized with a clear hierarchy, with Teochew people as its core members, and uses a coding system to manage its members.

Strong cohesion ensured the members' absolute loyalty to the Xiang family.

The base was located in Tai Wan Shan, while Tuen Mun District was the cradle for cultivating "new blood".

The company holds a high-level meeting on the first Friday of each month at a resort in Huangniyong Gorge, Xiangjiang Island.

Their influence extends across Hong Kong Island, Kowloon, the New Territories, and outlying islands, involving a variety of criminal activities, including extortion, protection money collection, drug trafficking, loan sharking, operating brothels, illegal gambling, and smuggling.

At the same time, they also engage in legitimate businesses, such as film production, financial investment, and the catering industry.

The Xiang brothers, Xiang Huaqiang and Xiang Huasheng, hold a pivotal position in the film industry.

"Using our connections in the United States, we have confirmed that Henry Getty is from the Getty family in California."

The British are becoming increasingly greedy, and we are finding it increasingly difficult to satisfy their insatiable appetite.

We must get in touch with Henry Getty to give us some breathing room...

Xiang Huayan sat firmly at the head of the conference table and spoke eloquently, his sharp eyes sweeping over everyone present: "Moreover, there are rumors that the mainland is very determined to take back Hong Kong."

After those words were spoken, the air in the conference room seemed to freeze for a few seconds, followed by a low murmur of discussion.

1997 was the final deadline for Hong Kong's return to China. No matter how reluctant the British were, as long as the Chinese government insisted, the British were absolutely powerless to stop it.

"The British Empire, on which the sun never sets, is now reduced to a faint afterglow."

Xiang Huayan continued, "And we are only a little over a decade away from that decisive moment;

For us at Sun Yee On, this period of time is not ample!

"We must plan ahead."

He emphasized, "Henry Getty and his family background can provide us with a buffer, and even a last resort in the event of the worst-case scenario in the future."

"But as far as I know, this Henry Getty is just a teenager;

Even if we manage to establish contact with him, would the Getty family really go to such lengths to help us for the sake of a junior member?

At this point, Lai Chi-keung, one of the Five Tigers and known as the Tiger of Tuen Mun, raised his concerns.

In his view, Xiang Huayan's idea was good, but if they wanted to establish connections with powerful families in Europe and America, they should at least choose someone with decision-making power!

What's the point of relying on a young person?

"Hehe, Qiangzai, don't underestimate this Henry Getty. He's no ordinary character!"

Xiang Huayan's trusted lieutenant, Lin Tianxiong, one of the Lin brothers, produced a stack of documents about Henry Getty.

"This is intelligence we obtained through the Sun Yee On triad's connections in America."

At a young age, he founded a high-tech software company and achieved remarkable success.

Do you think someone like this is worth our full effort to cooperate with?

"The expert is right, we should give it a try."

After reading Henry's intelligence, Huang Tiansong, one of the "Ten Outstanding Individuals", stood up and suggested, "A person who can achieve such success at such a young age will surely become a core figure in the Getty family in the future."

If we can establish a relationship with him in the early stages, it will be absolutely beneficial for us.

Moreover, even if the final result is not satisfactory, we will suffer almost no loss.

"Okay, I agree to contact him."

However, this is not a one-sided matter.

To get Henry Getty to help us in the future, we need to offer something truly attractive.

After reading Henry's intelligence, Li Zhiqiang also put aside his previous contempt for Henry.

"What do we have that could impress them?"

"good,"

"It is not easy to win over a member of a large family like Henry Getty."

We must demonstrate our unique value, making it something he will never want to part with in the future.
