After Fang Lang's detailed and patient explanation, Fang Xinshui finally understood Fang Lang's immigration ideas. Although he didn't quite understand what Fang Lang said about pyramid schemes and brainwashing, he knew what he should do.
"Then I understand, where is their hall?"
It's not that Fang Lang doesn't want to do it himself. Although this training is only a short-term training, it is indeed related to his future life. He dare not relax at all. If he wants to continue to grow in the Brazilian army in the future, he must cherish the opportunity to study in this professional military academy.
Moreover, Fang Lang cannot do everything by himself. If so, he will be very busy in the future. He only needs to grasp the general direction and train specialized people to take charge of other things. A hero needs three helpers. Only when everyone's abilities are fully exercised can everyone's career be truly successful.
"Tomorrow you go directly to the Sihaiyijia Restaurant in Chinatown. Their leader is called Fang Jinao. Whether you can meet their leader depends on your courage!"
Fang Lang had given deep thought to this decision of seeking cooperation with the Hongmen. After all, for such large-scale immigration, it would be basically impossible to reach the scale that Fang Lang required if it were done through formal channels unless it was directly organized by the government.
However, although the Hongmen organization is not as good as the official one on the surface, its actual effect may not be worse than the official one. After all, the Hongmen still has a very strong background in the country at this time, and many military and political officials in the country have gang backgrounds.
Therefore, as long as the Hongmen was given enough benefits, Fang Lang's expectations would definitely be achieved. For the sake of money, the officials of the Kuomintang would not organize the people to emigrate. It is estimated that when the Kuomintang was defeated, it is not impossible that they would sell the soldiers for money.
Fang Lang was not worried about whether Fang Xinshui could reach an agreement with the Hongmen. Because there were still a few months left, Fang Lang still had time. Failure is the mother of success. If he couldn't reach an agreement with the Hongmen in New York, he could just change to another one! There would always be a Hongmen that was interested in this business.
...
...
"Haha...Alang! I may not be as smart as you, but when it comes to courage! Your uncle is as brave as a tiger. Don't worry! There will be a clear result tomorrow."
Fang Xinshui was even less worried. In Fang Xinshui's impression, gang members were easy to deal with. After all, most gang members were not well educated and were less likely to gossip. They put loyalty first and would stick their necks out for their friends.
As for stabbing a friend in the back for personal gain, Fang Xinshui was from a small town and had never encountered this before. As for tomorrow's contact with the Hongmen, Fang Xinshui was full of confidence and had only just slapped his chest and swore an oath.
Seeing Fang Xinshui's confident look, Fang Lang once again solemnly reminded him:
"Uncle, be careful! America is not Brazil. We are unfamiliar with the place and must be careful. If we are not careful, we will be devoured without leaving even a bone."
Seeing Fang Lang's serious look, Fang Xinshui couldn't help but hesitate:
"After all, we are all Chinese, it shouldn't be that serious!"
Fang Lang was very satisfied with Fang Xinshui's hesitation. As long as Fang Xinshui handled it carefully, there shouldn't be any danger. After all, he wasn't here to grab territory, and they didn't have any grudges. As long as he handled it carefully, there shouldn't be any danger to his life.
"The Jianghu doesn't care who you are. If the other party has any other requests, you can discuss them, but you must remember that we don't touch drugs. This is the bottom line."
After hearing Fang Lang mention the red line issue again, Fang Xinshui also said seriously:
"Don't worry! I will prepare well tonight and meet with the largest Chinese gang tomorrow!"
…
The next morning, Fang Xinshui and his six men went directly to Chinatown. They first wandered around Chinatown like tourists for a whole morning to familiarize themselves with the terrain.
It was not until lunch time that he took the four people to the Sihaiyijia restaurant. Two of them did not go in together, but sat down in another Chinese restaurant nearby that had a direct view of Sihaiyijia.
After all, he had just arrived, so it wouldn't hurt to be cautious. He left two people outside to keep watch and provide support to avoid being wiped out. Fang Xinshui had some experience in this field.
Sihaiyijia is a big hotel. Although it is called a big hotel, its facade is not particularly big. After pushing the door open, the lobby on the first floor is less than 200 square meters. There are not many customers in the restaurant, with only three or four tables scattered around.
As Fang Xinshui and the others entered the door, a young man dressed as a waiter came up to them with a warm look on his face and greeted them:
"Welcome, are you guys here for dinner?"
It was lunchtime now, so Fang Xinshui chose this time to come in to check out the situation first. He casually said:
"We're definitely here to eat at a restaurant! Is there a private room for the five of us?"
The guy looked them up and down and saw that they were strong and didn't look like good people. So, he made a strange gesture with his left hand and placed it on his right wrist.
This is the Hongmen Laguaizi, which is the Hongmen code. He bowed and wanted to find out the identities of the people. He said, "Excuse me!"
This is the Hongmen Three-Please Ask, which is usually a courtesy used by Hongmen members to find out whether they are from the same family when they do not know each other. Usually one person says, "Please ask," and the other person says, "Please ask," and then replies, "Please ask again." Then they say their names according to the Hongmen code.
However, Fang Xinshui didn't even look at him, his eyes were looking around the hall. Seeing this, the younger brother beside him gently touched Fang Xinshui's arm, motioning Fang Xinshui to look.
He thought of what Fang Lang had said to him, and knew that this was someone trying to find out his background according to the rules of the underworld. But Fang Lang didn't understand the codeword, and Fang Xinshui didn't understand it either! He looked at the guy blankly.
When the waiter saw the reactions of Fang Xinshui and the others, he realized that the people in front of him were not from the same sect. He stopped his gesture and said loudly:
"Okay, five people in the private room upstairs, please!"
After saying that, he led the way and led a few people to the private room on the second floor.
Entering the private room, Fang Xinshui couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Brother, don't mind it! Was that your Hongmen code just now?"
Fang Xinshui's words made the waiter's face change, and he stared at Fang Xinshui and said:
"What flag was hoisted on the boat my brother was on? How many dragons were embroidered on the flag? Which direction were the dragon heads and tails facing?"
This made Fang Xinshui even more confused, but looking at the other party's expression, he knew that he shouldn't talk nonsense at this time. Otherwise, several people would have to lie down before the class even started.
He waved his hand and said, "Brother, don't get me wrong. We are not from the Hongmen. We are overseas Chinese from Brazil. We came here to discuss business with Mr. Fang, the head of the Hongmen Grand Hall in New York. I wonder if you can introduce us to him."
After hearing Fang Xinshui's words, the waiter's face remained grim. He looked at the men several times before saying:
"How do you know this is the Hongmen Hall?"
The guy's question made Fang Xinshui a little embarrassed. He couldn't say that Fang Lang told him. He could only say:
"I'm sorry! Brother, we also heard about this in Chinatown. Don't worry, we have no ill intentions. We really came here to discuss a business deal with your hall master. We hope you can help pass on the message."
As he said this, he took out a five-dollar bill and stuffed it into the waiter's hand.
The clerk looked at the dollars in his hand, and then at the expressions of the others. Although he could tell that Fang Xinshui was not telling the truth, he felt that these country bumpkins did not seem to have any bad intentions. He casually put the money in his pocket and said:
"Since you are not friends from the martial arts world, please take a seat first. I will go and inform our hall master. As for whether our hall master is willing to see you, it depends on your luck."
Fang Xinshui was worried that the Hongmen didn't pay much attention to them, so he quickly said:
"Thank you, brother. Please make sure to explain clearly to your master. This is a big business worth millions of dollars. I hope your master will do me the honor of meeting you!"
The guy was also shocked when he heard what Fang Xinshui said. In this era, a business worth several million US dollars is a huge business. After all, the average monthly income in the United States is less than 100 US dollars!
After taking a serious look at Fang Xinshui for a few times, he saw that he looked very frank and didn't seem to be pretending, so he couldn't help but say seriously:
"Are you serious, brother? If you use words to frame me in order to see our hall master, you will be bloody!"
Fang Lang listened to the waiter's words, but he was not annoyed. He laughed and said:
"Don't worry, brother. We are a people who stick to our word and won't lie to you. A few million dollars is an understatement. If the cooperation goes well, tens of millions is not impossible."
The waiter saw his expression and knew it was not a joke, so he pointed to the stool in the private room and said without hesitation:
"Please take a seat, I will go and make a report first. I believe there will be a result soon."
After saying that, he closed the door of the private room and turned to leave.
