No regrets ninety-two

Chapter 803 Another Watershed
Wu Xiaozheng thought to himself, as soon as he agreed to Mr. Wu Jiazhao's request, there would be another person on the return trip this time.

But the problem came again.

Once he goes back, he will definitely go back to Xiangshui to spend the New Year with his family.

What about Zhuang Ningwen?
Also, what is Zhuang Ningwen going to do?
He couldn't help but glance at Zhuang Ningwen.

Zhuang Ningwen showed an enigmatic smile, and said, "Don't worry, I have almost finished what I have to do, and I can go with you anytime."

So fast?
This speed surprised Wu Xiaozheng a little.

But he didn't have time to ask in detail, and turned to Mr. Wu Jiazhao and said, "Do you want to send her back to Taishan?"

He already knew from the information of his previous life that the old man's hometown was Taishan, and Taishan people seemed to be very influential in New York.

"No need, I have no relatives in Taishan."

The old man seemed a little bleak.

Wu Xiaozheng could feel this.

Perhaps, the old man's life in the United States can be regarded as an all-powerful situation, but when he gets old, it is difficult to realize his wish to go back for a year, let alone return to his roots.

And he also heard an interesting story.

That is, the old man is now a black household. He has neither American citizenship nor Chinese nationality, so he can't go back even if he wants to go back.

It is said that the reason why he has not had American citizenship for so many years is because his gang status and criminal record do not meet the conditions for probation in the United States.

But the United States did not repatriate him, because he does not have Chinese nationality, and China does not easily accept such gangsters with gang backgrounds.

It's a funny but bleak thing to do.

In this regard, he felt that his master He Yuncong was much smarter than him, at least his wish came true.

He also began to understand why Master He Yuncong had to return to China.

In this regard, he is smarter than Wu Jiazhao.

"That's fine, then I'll take her back to Hunan Province for the New Year."

Wu Xiaozheng thought to himself, it seems that there will be one more person in the family celebrating the New Year this year, but the impact should not be too great.

Moreover, if Zhuang Ningwen had really settled the matter of contacting the internationally renowned brands, then it would be a good thing for Grandview Plaza that she would go there sooner.

"This is up to you to arrange. Now, I want to ask you something else."

That's the turning point.

Wu Xiaozheng originally thought that Mr. Wu asked him to come here because of Zhuang Ningwen's going to China.

Now, apparently not.

That's just incidental.

"Let me ask you, I heard that you introduced Giuliani to Hongsheng, and intend to renovate Chinatown in the future. Do you think this is feasible?"

Wu Xiaozheng suddenly realized.

It seems that this is the real intention of Mr. Wu to see him.

Regarding the transformation of Chinatown, even if Chen Hongsheng came forward, he might not be able to take the lead. It would have to be a leader-level figure like Wu Jiazhao, who is highly respected among various gangs, to come forward.

"Whether it's feasible or not depends on everyone in Chinatown. I just acted as a bridge."

Wu Xiaozheng told the truth.

In fact, he really can't intervene in this matter, and he doesn't want to intervene.

But these words did not satisfy Mr. Wu.

He asked sharply: "Don't you know that the situation in Chinatown is very complicated? With so many gangs, it is easy to coordinate?"

Wu Xiaozheng was stunned for a moment.

He just remembered that this is really a special era.

In other words, New York is now at a watershed.

In Wu Xiaozheng's impression, in two or three years, New York will change from a metropolis with chaos and gangs to a relatively well-ordered modern metropolis, and New York's gang culture will gradually decline or go underground.

This is especially true in Chinatown, where gang culture has always been prevalent.

But now, Chinatown is really complicated, and it is not an exaggeration to describe it as full of gangs.

Combining the information he read in his previous life and what he learned from He Shiyuan and others, Wu Xiaozheng knew that there are Feilong, Guiying, Dong'an, Fuqing, Baihu and other small gangs in New York. Affiliated to Anliang, Xiesheng, Hongmen, Chongzheng, Taishan and Fujian societies.

Among them, Feilong, the most powerful, should belong to Mr. Wu, but I don't know if it is under his direct control.

These Chinese gangs are fundamentally different from Hongmen and other legal associations.

They exist illegally, and they are also the targets of the government's key crackdown.

In a few years, these gangsters will disappear.

And the reason why they disappeared, in addition to the reason why Giuliani came to power, there is also a very important fuse, that is, the "Golden Adventure" incident that happened in May 93.

The "Golden Adventure" incident will directly lead to the federal government's determination to deal with gangsters.

In later generations, it was a major event known to anyone interested in overseas gangs.

The Golden Adventure is a cargo ship.

Strictly speaking, this is a stowaway boat.

Since the 80s, there has been a craze for going abroad in China, but for most people, it is impossible to go abroad through formal channels.

As a result, many people began to target illegal immigrants.

As a result, a new underground business has emerged between China and the United States, that is, smuggling.

And in the United States, the well-known Fuqing Gang is mainly responsible for this lucrative business.

The Golden Adventure was built in 1969, with a length of 45 meters. It was originally a freighter and not suitable for carrying passengers.

Since the rise of the smuggling business, smuggling organizer Li Pengfei purchased the Golden Adventure in Singapore in 1992, planning to use it to transport illegal immigrants into the United States by sea.

In February 1993, the Golden Adventure docked in FZ City, Fujian Province, and then carried about 2 illegal immigrants in Thailand. In March, it carried about 90 illegal immigrants near Mombasa, Kenya.

The cost of smuggling illegal immigrants is really high, and each person has to pay a fee of 2 to 3 US dollars.

The Golden Adventure then entered the Atlantic via the Cape of Good Hope.

Because it was a freighter, and there were too many illegal immigrants on board, the people on board were crowded, the sanitation was poor, and food and drinking water began to be scarce in the end.

In May 1993, the Golden Adventure arrived in the Atlantic waters near New York City. At that time, there were 5 crew members on board, including 13 illegal immigrants from mainland China (including 286 males and 262 females, most of whom were from Fujian).

According to the original plan of the organizers of the smuggling, once the boat arrives near New York, the connectors in New York will organize small speedboats to pick up the immigrants on the open sea, and then go ashore separately.

However, unfortunately, the connector just happened to die in the vendetta of the Fuqing Gang, and immediately lost contact with the ship.

After the Golden Adventure waited for two weeks on the high seas, the relevant personnel thought it was hopeless to pick up the ship, so they decided to strand the ship offshore and let the stowaways swim ashore.

At around 6 a.m. on June 6, the Golden Adventure ran aground on Rockaway Beach in Queens.

Among the smugglers, 10 died because they were not good at swimming, they were weak after long-distance voyage, and the water temperature was cold. Six people escaped, and the rest were detained by the US immigration officers who came later and put in prison.

For the U.S. government, this is definitely a major illegal immigration case with extremely bad impact.

It is precisely because this case has caused too much impact and shamed the United States, so the federal government is determined to rectify it, and the Chinese gangs in New York were the first to attack.

Wu Xiaozheng calculated the time.

According to the calculation of the departure time in February, the Golden Adventurer should be docked somewhere in Fujian Province now!
Once the new year is over, it should start from Fujian, right?

I just don't know, will the connector here still die in the gang vendetta?
