Lin Yu was also somewhat stunned after listening to Du Wensheng's past with his father.
become sworn brothers?
However, it does sound like something my father would do.
Although this old guy was a soldier, he knew from his childhood that this old bastard had made a lot of bad friends.
Those like Zuo Shandiao and Hua Bozi were all well-known figures in the underworld at the time. People like Qiao Si, who were executed, were considered low-class.
Later, the real big shots who went into real estate basically all went bankrupt.
Lin Yu never expected that the Green Gang had actually gotten involved in that brothel back then, which is quite a sad story!
However, Du Wensheng was simply unlucky. If he had entered the real estate development industry two years later, especially in the Fengfu area, which was one of the earliest areas in the country to start urbanization, the Green Gang would probably not be in its current state.
Mentioning these things, Lin Yu also felt sorry for Du Wensheng.
"Yes!" Du Wensheng couldn't help but say regretfully, "It was indeed a pity at that time. That was the best opportunity. The Northeast is different from our Liangjiang and Feidong. There are too many people with connections in the South. If you want to do real estate business, you must have connections. If you want to be big and not fail, your connections must be very strong! It's not something we barefoot men can compare to. I also ran a few companies before and made some money, but in the end I lost it all. Mainly because I saw the tricks involved and didn't want to expand the business and make ordinary people take the blame!"
“But those people are different. They’re aiming to create problems from the very beginning. They have connections in banks and at the top. They’re colluding with powerful families to make money, and they have people to bail them out. How can we compare to them!” Du Wensheng couldn’t help but sigh.
Lin Yu nodded. "There are indeed too many scoundrels, so I came here this time to deal with these scoundrels, to ensure that the economic aircraft carrier can land smoothly, to give future generations hope, to eliminate traitors, to preserve the wealth of the country and its people, to narrow the gap between the rich and the poor, and to eliminate the protective umbrella forces behind them!"
Lin Yu used several "can"s, and his tone was exceptionally firm, leaving Du Wensheng utterly shocked.
"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"
Du Wensheng couldn't help but sigh.
Throughout the entire nation, who has such courage, and who possesses such ambition? Such spirit truly impressed Du Wensheng.
Lin Yu frowned. "Old man, are you perhaps questioning my resolve?"
He is particularly sensitive to the word "young".
Du Wensheng was taken aback for a moment, then quickly waved his hand, "No, no, no, I didn't mean that. Your presence here is probably Yandu's decision, how could I dare to question it! I am naturally very happy and supportive of Yandu's decision! After all, the people of this world have suffered too much, it's time to clean up their mess!"
"However, I am but a commoner, and my Green Gang has long lost its former glory. I, a nobody, do not know how I can be of any help to you!" Du Wensheng said with a wry smile.
Lin Yu smiled slightly, "Grandpa, please don't underestimate yourself. In my opinion, you are not a failure! In the past two or three decades, you can't make big money without being ruthless. Those who make big money are all ruthless. Your ability to be content with a simple life and not cross the line is enough to show that you are a person of principle. I like to deal with people of principle and I like to give them important positions. The next twenty years will be a period of great fortune related to the nation's destiny. Fire represents positive energy and justice. I believe even more that people like you can rise to the top. It's time for loyal and righteous people like you to take the stage! As long as the luck is right, you can ride the wind and transform into a dragon!"
Lin Yu's words were very infectious; Du Wensheng's old body trembled with excitement, and Zhu Yeqing beside him was also filled with fervor.
How could they not see that Governor Lin was going to support the Du family?
That's right. Lin Yu was in Jiangnan, unfamiliar with the area, but as always, he would try to achieve his goals first, regardless of whether there were any real benefits. The best approach is to use leverage to change the whole situation.
In his eyes, the Green Gang was this lever.
Du Wensheng and his grandson Zhu Yeqing were both fond of offending others. Fortune favors the bold.
However, the Du family also has conservatives.
For example, Du Tao.
“Dad, you know the situation in the South. Those powerful families all have mysterious forces supporting them. Compared to such forces, our Du family is nothing but a small fry…” Du Tao reminded him with a worried expression. “Don’t forget how those powerful gangs and companies went down before!”
Du Wensheng's expression froze for a moment.
His son's words were like a bucket of cold water poured over his head.
The gangs my son mentioned were once, like the Green Gang, dominant forces in an era.
However, due to business disputes, they were wiped out by those mysterious forces.
He pondered for a moment, then said to Lin Yu, "Governor Lin, just as the cabinet is able to control the country, you must know that there is absolute power behind it. Although I don't know which ones, I think it must be like this!"
Du Wensheng had lived half his life, and although he lived in Jiangnan, he still had his own speculations about Yandu.
Without absolute power, it is impossible to maintain this regime.
"Just like in the North, the economic landscape of the South is also like this. Without absolute power to protect them, these once-glorious families and powerful clans would not have been able to laugh all this time! Even if there are one or two large factories or outstanding enterprises, they will eventually become lambs to the slaughter, only able to cash out a little and leave in despair! They have not been able to shake this pattern in the slightest from top to bottom!" Du Wensheng said in a solemn tone.
Lin Yu nodded, a slight smile playing on his lips, and said, "Grandpa, that's my opponent. You don't need to worry about it. I can assure you that there is no absolute power in front of me, Lin Yu! As long as it hinders the country's development and the people's peaceful life, then it is my enemy, Lin Yu. When I, Lin Yu, go south of the Yangtze River, I will surely suppress all enemies in the world and create a future for my descendants!"
This is something that only one person can do.
The same reason why the Grand Secretary chose Lin Yu.
Under heaven, who has this strength, and who has this influence?
Only the Dragon and Phoenix Pavilion Master!
Only the young marshal of Fengfu!
Only those chosen by divine blood!
Perhaps Du Wensheng was unaware that the absolute power he described was a combination of ancient martial arts relatives and foreign forces.
Anything involving the term "ancient martial arts" is considered a taboo.
According to the North-South agreement, Divine Blood and Ancient Martial Arts remain outside the established order and will not directly intervene.
Under heaven, perhaps only Lin Yu dares to challenge the powerful relatives of the ancient martial arts world.
What if you're not the chosen one?
