Zhou Yang found Lin Jianzhong and Yang Gongde for reasons. One of them was from eastern Guangdong and the other was from Hu Jian, which happened to represent the two largest village parties in Chinatown.

At the same time, the two are also famous entrepreneurs in Chinatown. Lin Jianzhong can be said to be the leader in the Chinese garment industry, while Yang Gongde's Yidong Restaurant is the leader in the Chinese catering industry.

Lin Jianzhong and Yang Gongde both got up step by step from the bottom, so naturally they did not lack vision and courage. So when Zhou Yang introduced the idea of ​​combining the opening of a new Chinese community with the Kennedy family's community rejuvenation plan, the two keenly realized that this was a huge opportunity for them and the entire Chinese community in New York.

"Ayang, let me introduce you to you. This is the head of Xiesheng Hall, Wu Jiazhao, and most of the people in Chinatown call Wu Lao Uncle Qi."

A black Mercedes-Benz sedan was parked at the entrance of the Yidong Hotel, and an old man with gray hair and looked quite kind-hearted. Yang Gongde immediately came forward and gave an introduction to Zhou Yang.

After a lunch, Yang Gongde called Zhou Yang, from Mr. Zhou to Brother Zhou, now he has called him Ayang intimately.

"The waves of the Yangtze River push the waves of the previous waves. After seeing Xiaoyou Zhou, I felt more and more that I should go into the coffin." Wu Jiazhao seemed to be self-deprecating, but there was a kind of heroic spirit in his words.

Wu Jiazhao is known as the "underground Chinatown mayor" in Manhattan. He and Song Jiamo from San Francisco are the two respected "last arbitrators" of Chinese gangs across the United States. Whether it is the East Coast, the West Coast, or the three mountains and five mountains in the south, they will be sold to them a little bit.

From the historical origins of Chinese gangs, there are two main schools - the Hongmen and the Qing Gang.

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, there were three major anti-Qing and restoring associations in China, namely the Hongmen, the Qing Gang and the White Lotus Sect. So there is a saying: red flowers, green leaves, white lotus roots, and the three religions were originally one.

Most people's impression of the Qing Gang mainly comes from the gangsters in the old Shanghai beach such as Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin. The Qing Gang actually has another name called Cao Gang, and its disciples come from dock workers, and mainly engage in canal transportation.

After the Opium War, Shanghai soon became the largest trading port in southern China. A large number of dock workers gathered on the Huangpu River, and thus developed the Shanghai Qing Gang, which left a strong mark in modern Chinese history.

Among the three secret associations, the Qing Gang or Cao Gang were the first to abandon the concept of anti-Qing and restoring the wisdom of the Qing Dynasty and completely became a gang. Therefore, the Hongmen has always looked down on the Qing Gang and strictly prohibited internal members from turning to the Qing Gang. Therefore, there is a saying in the Tao that from Qing to Hong, hanging colors and red; from Hong to Qing, peeling and cramping.

In fact, Hongmen also has a title called Tiandihui. Most post-80s post-80s should have watched a Hong Kong film starring Li Lianjie and Qiu Shuzhen - "The Five Ancestors of the New Shaolin".

In the film, Li Lianjie plays Hong Xiguan, a disciple of Shaolin and the founder of Hongquan. The Heaven and Earth Comedy was brutally suppressed by the Qing government and changed its name to Hongmen. The word "Hong" comes from Shaolin Hongquan.

The Hongmen has always taken the responsibility of rebelling against the Qing Dynasty and restoring the Ming Dynasty as its mission, so it took root in an overseas area beyond the reach of the Qing government. Its largest hall in the United States is called Zhigongtang.

Zhigongtang once strongly supported the Xinhai Revolution and actively raised funds for Mr. Sun's revolutionary cause. After the establishment of the Republic of China government, Zhigongtang was distributed in China and changed its name to the ZG Party.

The ZG Party leader Situ Meitang, during the founding ceremony in 1949, also climbed the Tiananmen Gate Tower and stood behind the purpose of a generation.

The Anliang Hall in Chinatown, New York, is actually the largest hall under Zhigong Hall, and its founder is Situ Meitang.

In order to resolve some murder lawsuits involved in the bloody conflict with Xieshengtang, Situ Meitang specially found a legal counsel for An Liangtang, the American lawyer named Franklin Roosevelt.

Xiesheng Hall and Anliang Hall in Chinatown, New York are both branches of the Hongmen. The Huaqing Gang, which is one of the most important things on the west coast of the United States, is the Qing Gang's remnant.

It is said that a group of second-generation and third-generation Banana people from the Huaqing Gang returned to Baodao to establish the Meiying Society not long ago, and joined the Tiandao Alliance, one of the four major gangs in Baodao.

Because these ABCs are holding American passports, the police in Baodao are so reluctant to do so, fearing that they will cause diplomatic protests from their American fathers.

As the saying goes, the world changes, and time goes by, the anti-Qing and restoration of Ming Dynasty have long become the past. The White Lotus Sect has disappeared in the long river of history, and the Hongmen and the Qing Gang have long merged, and have both evolved into evil forces that oppress the good.

The residents of Chinatown in New York should have complex feelings about Chinese gangs. On the one hand, they are pornographic, du, du, kidnap and blackmail, and do all kinds of evil.

But on the other hand, the existence of Chinese gangs has allowed the Chinese ethnic group to have a foothold in New York, where the strong prey on the weak.

From 1880 to 1930, the various halls in New York Chinatown were killed in blood, which greatly shocked other underground forces in New York.

For example, the Mafia Godfathers' lair is located in Little Italy in Lower Manhattan, which is actually on the north side of New York's Chinatown.

Chinatown and Little Italy are bounded by Kenny Street, but the Italian mafia, which is famous in New York and even in the United States, has never invaded the closest Chinatown in the past hundred years.

The Chinese gangs and the New York Mafia have been in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in a state of being in

Back to the topic, Wu Jiazhao suddenly came to the Yidong Restaurant, so there was no reason. During lunch, Zhou Yang revealed to Lin Jianzhong and Yang Gongde that the Kennedy family chose Sunset Park in Brooklyn as a pilot.

So after lunch, the two of them suggested going to Sunset Park to see the specific situation. Zhou Yang was very caring about his life and did not want to go there to take risks at will.

After all, there are not many Asian figures in the entire Sunset Park now. Their three Chinese faces suddenly appear there and are easily regarded as fat sheep.

So Lin Jianzhong called Wu Jiazhao, who was also a fellow villager in Xingning, and asked Uncle Qi to help arrange a few powerful men from Kong Wu to accompany him to ensure their personal safety.

Today, Zhou Yang came to visit two Chinese leaders Lin Jianzhong and Yang Gongde to communicate, representing Caroline and the Kennedy family behind her.

Wu Jiazhao, the leader of the Chinese gangster, is like an ant in front of the Kennedy family. But the example of senior Situ Meitang and Roosevelt is in front of you. If Wu Jiazhao can get to the relationship between the Kennedy family, it will definitely be of great benefit to the development of Xieshengtang.

So Wu Jiazhao didn't say anything and took a bus to Yidong Restaurant to meet Zhou Yang. After a greeting, everyone got into the convoy and set off. Zhou Yang was specially arranged in Wu Jiazhao's bulletproof car.

"Mr. Wu, you may not know much about American politics. Although the Kennedy family was born in Massachusetts in New England, their influence in New York is no less than that of Boston in the old nest.

The new New York mayor election will be held in November this year. The current Democrat Ed Koch is actively seeking re-election and needs party tycoons like Edward Kennedy to stand up for it.

As for the New York State Government, the current Governor, Mr. Hugh Carey, is a member of Irish origin, like the Kennedy family. There is a combination of Irish "Four Musketeers" in American politics, with Hugh Carey and Edward Kennedy among them, and the two have a close relationship.

By the way, the other two members of the "Four Musketeers" are the current Speaker of the House of Representatives, Mr. Thomas O'Neal, a Bostonian.

Not only is he a fellow member of the Kennik family, but he also took over as President John Kennedy.

In 1962, after being a member of Congress for six years, John Kennedy decided to turn to the Senate of Congress. So the vacant House seat recommended Thomas O'Neal, who was also a Democrat.

As for the last "Four Musketeers", he was a congressman from New York State, Mr. Daniel Monihan. He served as assistant secretary of labor during the Kennedy administration and was also another uncle of Caroline, Robert Kennedy. He was an important political ally during his lifetime. He was close friends with the Kennedy family." Zhou Yang sat in the car and talked.

The reason why the Kennedy family has a huge influence in American politics is not only because it has a president, but now has a senator in Congress, but because the Kennedy family largely represents the interests of tens of millions of Irish people in the United States.

"I don't know what specific aspects will support at the New York government level include?" Wu Jiazhao asked kindly.

"What Chinese people are most concerned about when they move into a strange community is undoubtedly the security issue. The current security situation in Sunset Park is definitely worse than that in Lower Manhattan.

The New York City Police Department will increase the deployment of police force in Sunset Park in the future, and at the same time, in order to better communicate with Chinese residents. The New York Police Department will select outstanding Chinese police officers within the city's police system and transfer them to the 72nd Branch responsible for the security of Sunset Park.

Of course, the New York Police Department also welcomes Chinese citizens to actively apply for the police. Once admitted, they will also be given priority to the 72nd Branch." Zhou Yangpo looked at Wu Jiazhao with deep meaning.

Who hasn't watched "Infernal Affairs"? Isn't it a routine operation for the gang boss to stuff undercover into the police system? The New York police are already famous for corruption. There are not too many gangsters who serve as informants for gangs. It's not bad for those who are Wu Jiazhao's maids.

The reason why Wu Jiazhao did not send people to the police station before was because there were 77 branches in New York responsible for daily security patrols, and a large number of second-tier departments.

The Chinese gangsters basically only hide in Chinatown, so it is only meaningful that the undercover agent will happen to be assigned to the fifth game in charge of Chinatown, and the probability is too low.

Only this targeted distribution is a good opportunity for Wu Jiazhao to install people in the New York Police Department. This preferential treatment was actually specially won by Zhou Yang from Caroline.

Before he traveled through time, he had seen such a case in a local Chinese newspaper in New York. An aunt was complained by others because she was dancing square dance in a park near Eighth Avenue.

After the police arrived, the aunt was a little excited because she was speechless, so she was arrested for assaulting the police.

Later, after an active petition from the Chinese community and a gold medal lawyer was found to help her defend, the judge was convinced to be acquitted.

Police are not a good profession in the United States. Not only are they at risk of facing gunfire at any time, but their salary is also not high, so the willingness of Chinese people to apply for the exam is very low.

The reason why Hong Kong police quickly cut off their connection with the underworld after the 1970s was not only the ICAC's heavy blow, but the bigger reason was that the Hong Kong government implemented a policy of high salaries to maintain integrity in civil servants.

The salaries of police officers in New York City have always been lower than those of their peers in the surrounding areas, and the cost of living in New York is very high. No wonder corruption and trashing the outside world have been repeatedly banned.

Chinese people have a weak political influence in New York City, so it is impossible for the city police department to give preferential treatment and specifically equip Chinatown with Chinese police officers.

As long as the Chinese policeman who Wu Jiazhao stuffed in this time could put his butt in the position he should put when the Chinese ethnic group and other people had a conflict, Zhou Yang felt that it would be worth his operation.

As for Wu Jiazhao's open and secret battles with the New York Police Department, Zhou Yang is not the American messenger of justice, so he doesn't care about it at all.

During the chat between the two, the car quickly arrived at the destination of the trip, the intersection of Fourth Avenue and 53rd Street, Sunset Park.

The distance from Manhattan Chinatown is about 7 kilometers. If you want to go to the Eighth Avenue where later generations gather, you have to go about 600 meters east to Sunset Park.

After driving from Chinatown onto the Manhattan Bridge, you can follow the viaduct on Interstate 278 all the way south. The whole journey is both fast and safe. It is not the rush hour in the morning and evening, so Zhou Yang and others only took more than ten minutes to arrive here.

In addition to the convenience of driving, there is also a subway station on No. 53 Street, which is connected to Manhattan Chinatown, three lines N, R and W.

It is more convenient to go to Manhattan than the Eighth Avenue where Chinese people gather in later generations. Therefore, Zhou Yang naturally did not need to carve a boat and ask for a sword, and everything was copied intact in later generations.

He stood at the empty street corner and pointed at the mountains: "The entire area between Third Avenue and Fourth Avenue was the most lively area in Sunset Park thirty years ago.

But when the viaduct of Interstate 278 was built in the late 1950s, in order to widen the road, all the houses facing the streets on both sides of Third Avenue were demolished, causing the originally prosperous Third Avenue commercial area to disappear.

Since the 1960s, a large number of factory areas west of Third Avenue have closed down, causing a sharp decline in the population in the community.

Since the late 1960s, the New York City government has also tried to rebuild the community, invested a lot of money to renovate dilapidated houses, and then sold them at a low price to new Puerto Rican immigrants who moved into Sunset Park.

As a result, real estate speculators colluded with banks and moles in the federal housing administration and loaned a large number of low-income earners who were unable to repay.

This led to all these inferior credits breaking out during the oil crisis in 1973. After the mortgage lenders had no money to repay the loan, the bank was forced to confiscate a large number of houses.

These fixed assets were recovered and could not be sold, resulting in more than 200 small properties and more than 50 apartments on both sides of the southern end of Fourth Avenue.
