"That……"

"Iwata-san, do you want to meet the big shot too?"

"Oh."

Big man?

What big shot?

Iwata Takeshi's heart moved, and he didn't refuse.

……

In the United States, many large cities have Chinatowns.

Just like the one in New York, the place is really nice, in Manhattan.

Of course, the United States is not like other places in terms of location.

There seems to be a natural barrier between the lots here.

That is to say, even if it is two adjacent blocks, the house price may be very different.

The most famous is New York, which is the Upper East Side and Harlem north of Central Park.

This place in Harlem is a well-known black gathering area, and it is also very typical, that is, if you travel to the United States, there will be a tour guide who will point out this place.

Do not go.

If you go, try to bring some US dollars, maybe you can save your life.

Interestingly, on the edge of Harlem is the Upper East Side.

The Upper East Side is a well-known gathering place for the wealthy.

Takeshi Iwata remembered that in Nicolas Cage's later movie "Lord of War", the leading actor in it bought real estate here.

The Upper East Side and Harlem, this is a real version of heaven and hell.

The Chinatown in Los Angeles is different from that in New York, probably because the one in New York is surrounded by Puerto Ricans.

Because of the sunshine in California, it also looks particularly sunny here.

In fact, it was one of the first Chinatowns in the United States.

Well, strictly speaking, Chinatown in Northern California, that is, San Francisco, was the earliest.

Back then, because of the gold rush, many Chinese laborers were sold in the form of selling piglets.

It is really a history of blood and tears. Those who can survive to California and finally pan for gold must have very good luck and good health.

Originally, someone instilled in them the beautiful dream that this place is a golden mountain and a silver mountain. They even sold themselves first, and then they had money to board the ship.

These... are all in the past tense, and most of the Chinese people in Chinatown today are different.

Takeshi Iwata was in the car, and Wang Laosan was the driver. It can be said that he is familiar with the road.

Soon, the car came to a Cantonese restaurant and stopped.

There are two words written on this restaurant, Chang Kee.

"Iwata-san."

"Ah."

The two seemed to say something, but they didn't seem to say anything.

In this way, the two walked out of the store, which was busy.

Chinese food in the United States is actually really good, with high cost performance and good taste.

In other words, in fact, there is no American food at all, even if it is the McKee Burger that Americans are proud of at the moment, listen to the name, Hamburg, is this originally German food?

It should be like this, the hamburger is the patty inside, and the hamburger is just two more slices of bread.

As for adding sauces and other ingredients, in fact, that is the way of eating Italian food.

Why are you thinking about this? By the way, Takeshi Iwata came to the second floor under the recommendation of Wang Laosan.

This restaurant is not bad, with a domestic feel.

The second floor is made into private rooms, which is different from the scattered terraces on the first floor.

Here in the US, that's not the rule.

Soon, the two came to a private room, and there was a person sitting in it early.

"Hello, Mr. Iwata."

"Hello, Mr. Liu."

Takeshi Iwata directly sent the honorific title, and the other party was very satisfied.

Mr. Liu's real name is Liu Zechang. He looks about 60 or [-] years old, with gray temples and wrinkles on his face.

As far as the skin is concerned, it is somewhat similar to the old man in mainland China. Here we are talking about the color, but there is also a little difference.

Reddish.

Takeshi Iwata may not be very polite, but he has seen many photos of Asian Americans before, and he feels that, at a certain age, they look very much like Indians.

Yes, it may be an illusion, but some people have concluded that it does exist.

Obviously, the Liu Zechang in front of him is a native Chinese American.

But when he spoke, it was Chinese.

The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, Takeshi Iwata sat opposite Liu Zechang, and Wang Laosan simply went out.

then……

"Mr. Iwata is a nice person. I have heard about it before, and our people have also been taken care of by Mr. Iwata. Thank you very much."

"You're welcome."

"Besides, that's Mr. Iwata's current status. I don't know what etiquette should be used."

"Oh."

This is very interesting.

What courtesy?

What kind of courtesy can I have?

I am a director, director Takeshi Iwata.

However, Takeshi Iwata understood what the other party wanted to say.

"About the Yamamoto group, I just have some ideas."

It has to be said that our Chinese is extensive and profound. If we use Japanese or English, we simply cannot convey such a vague meaning.

Liu Zechang frowned slightly, he was a little startled.

The kid in front of him is really powerful, there are rumors in the world.

Takeshi Iwata is the leader of the Yamamoto-gumi, the largest gangster in Japan today. Even if he is not, he has great power.

Wang Laosan originally belonged to the Fuqing gang, but Liu Zechang and the others actually belonged to the Hongmen.

If the Hongmen organization is big, then almost all Chinese gangs overseas in China can be included in this organization.

Let’s just talk about those from Hong Kong, they all add a prefix with and.

In fact, the so-called prefix is ​​the top of the mountain.

There is a book in Hongmen, in which are clearly written various rules, various incisions, and various hills.

If the Chinese in the United States want to talk about Baotuan, it is the hilltop of Hongmen.

Liu Zechang's prefix should be counted upwards, which can be counted as Jinbaoshan.

The ranking is still very high.

And these...

"Mr. Iwata, there are a lot of things I want to come, the third brother has already told you."

"Yes."

That's right, Takeshi Iwata knew about the general situation before, but now that he came here, it can be regarded as a meeting between the leader of the Japanese underworld and the leader of the Chinese gang in the United States.

So, what exactly are they going to do?

"To be honest, sir, there was a big mess in Los Angeles before, and we Chinese were bullied miserably. This, I am not afraid of making jokes, as many of us Chinese really only care about ourselves.

Originally, our Jinbaoshan organized some, but... well, I won't talk about it.

Now, what I mean, sir should also understand.

So, what do you think? "

That's an interesting thing to say.

Before that, didn't there be a big riot in Los Angeles?

When the gang of blacks started a fight, the first target they bullied was the yellow-skinned Asian.

These old gangsters are bad enough, and they are bad enough.

In fact, the so-called racial discrimination is not what these old black people think at all.

Yes, discriminate against them.

However, they also discriminate against others.

Especially yellow-skinned Asians.

So, what exactly do they want?

Quite simply, it's actually a privilege.

And in this chaos, those who behaved very tough were those Koreans.

Now when you go to Koreatown, you can still see sandbags placed here, and some people walk around with guns, just like patrolling.

The Koreans fought fiercely, and Lao Hei couldn't take advantage of it, but died more.

They are racially gifted, they don't aim their guns, they mess around.

So, it's not easy to bully Koreans here, so just bully others.

The Chinese used to have a prefix like Jinbaoshan, but they couldn't hold back that these overseas Chinese had...

Inner ghost!

In short, it was Liu Zechang and the others who were bullied by Lao Hei and punished by the police at the same time.

Miserable old.

Fortunately, things are almost over now, but they want to do something.

Takeshi Iwata is now the head of the Yamamoto group, what if we can join forces with him?

"What about the conditions?"

"This……"

"I don't want you to obey me, but you have to come up with something, right?"

"Okay, that's it. We got some news about the movie before."

Iwata Takeshi has been waiting for a long time, "What is it?"

"There are two guys, the Weinstein Brothers, and they seem to be working on a whole new thing that will affect Mr. Iwata's business."

"What is it?"

Liu Zechang hesitated, but finally spoke out.

"I believe that Mr. Iwata is honest. What they are going to do is something called VCD."

Iwata Takeshi couldn't help frowning after hearing this.
