"Hmm, um..." Cheng Shanming was a serious person, and he didn't seem to want to discuss the issue of dual cultivation of alchemy and Taoism. He coughed dryly and then changed the subject.
"Brother Wang, I have now received the news of the series of things you did in the United States a few days ago. You are too..." Cheng Shanming paused, as if he didn't know what to comment on what Wang Chao did. , "Well, the Hongmen Situ family in the United States is a family that has accumulated for nearly a hundred years. You, brother Wang, beheaded two backbones in one night, and all defensive forces are useless! The news spread to our Hongmen in North America. The Tang Sect really caused a great shock! And not only our Hong Sect, but even some gang leaders in North America are in danger, and they want to call for unity to prevent the expansion of the Tang Sect. Brother Wang, your prestige this time is to fight It’s a pity that some contradictions that follow may not be a good thing for the development of Tangmen.”
"Besides, you have established too many enemies. This is really an impossible thing to guard against. You must know that it is easy to hide from the open, but difficult to prevent from the back. Especially in modern society, there are too many methods to deliberately assassinate a person. It's too easy, and there is a mistake in ten thousand. You should always be careful in the future."
Cheng Shanming also knew that Wang Chao's trip had made many enemies. Can't help but worry about his future.
Indeed, it is too easy for society to deliberately assassinate a person now. Sniping, poisoning, etc. are hard to guard against. And it wasn't ordinary people that Wang Chao offended.
"Well, don't worry, Lao Cheng, no matter how many enemies I make, I don't have as many enemies as Li Shuwen did back then. I haven't reached the point where I have to be eaten by others."
Wang Chao smiled heartily, revealing a mouthful of fine, white and flat teeth.
Speaking of enemies among martial arts figures, no one can compare with Li Shuwen, the Bajiquan of the Republic of China. His disciple Liu Yunqiao wrote in his own handwriting: "The first master has a rule in daily life: no one is allowed to come within three steps, even family members and students. As long as you get close, there is no one who will be thrown away by him.
Not to mention eating, unless the disciple has tasted it, he would not eat it. The teacher killed and injured countless people all his life, and he didn't know how many enemies he had, so he acted too cautiously. "
Indeed, no matter how many enemies Wang Chao had, it was not enough to allow others to eat before eating, so as to prevent people from being poisoned.
But even if someone really poisoned, although Tang Zichen was not as foresighted, Wang Chao could smell any poison disguised in food or tea, even a little bit of smell. Moreover, Wang Chao's body was a hundred times stronger than that of ordinary people. Even if he swallowed the highly poisonous drug that could kill an elephant in an instant, it might just be a serious illness from diarrhea and hurt some vitality. It is very difficult to save his life.
The most important thing is that Wang Chao's intestines are extremely sensitive. Even if he swallowed the poison, as long as there is a trace of the medicine eroding the intestines, he will feel it immediately, and then he can stimulate the power of the stomach to vomit out the remaining poison.
This kind of visceral sensitivity is also the strength of the master of immortality.
Even a master like Ba Liming, after taking the poison, has to wait for the poison to seep into the blood vessels, and the blood circulation is a bit clumsy before he can feel it.
Combining the above two points, martial arts practiced to Wang Chao's level is indeed a masterful skill, and no one can do it. It is very difficult to kill him with poison.
What's more, when Wang Chao returned to China last time, he encountered Zhou Yuxin's drugged conspiracy, which made him even more cautious.
He practiced unrivaled martial arts, but was plotted to death by a small man with a pack of medicine. That's a very sad thing. Any master would rather die in the ring than in such a wronged way.
Seeing Wang Chao's self-confidence, Cheng Shanming just shook his head, sighed, found a chair and sat down, and looked at Baliming.
Ever since he entered the house, he felt the pressure of Bali Mingshan all the time, which made him feel a little out of breath deep in his heart. This is the twenty or thirty years he has been in the rivers and lakes, and he has never felt a single A master has such coercion.
"When did such a master emerge in the country? Where did Wang Chao find it? Such a master is actually driven by Wang Chao's younger brother. It is really a bit puzzling."
Sensing Cheng Shanming's gaze, Baliming also nodded to him with a smile, then closed his eyes and went to rest. Looking at this picture, it seems that there is nothing in the world that can arouse the interest of this fighting king.
Wang Chao was not surprised to see Baliming like this. Baliming is only interested in Baodan masters, and the rest of the time he looks lazy and restful.
But it is precisely in this way that we can ensure that no energy is wasted, that we can contain our spirit and maintain our physical fitness. Baliming maintains his combat effectiveness and has his own set of life principles, which is "silence".
"Old Cheng, what kind of meeting did your Hongmen hold? It was aimed at my beheading this time? The circle in North America is much more complicated than that in Nanyang, and it's not like our Tangmen's dominance in Nanyang. But North America is a fat place." The local area is far more economically developed than the poor island countries in Southeast Asia. As long as you control a small circle of influence here, you will not be able to use it up after eating and drinking."
Wang Chao got straight to the point, "You are also a member of our Nanyang Tang Sect Military Committee. In the final analysis, you are considered to be half of the Tang Sect. I came to North America this time to deal with Situ's situation, and to understand The situation of the North American Tang Sect and various forces. I checked the accounts when I was in Nanyang, and our Nanyang Tang Sect’s business in North America is very difficult. And since the Nanyang Tang Sect was reorganized, Zhao Guangrong and Lin Shifeng were swept away Although our finances are not stretched, we are definitely not very rich. So you probably know the purpose of my visit this time."
"Of course I know that everyone's life is not very well-off now that the world economy is in crisis."
Cheng Shanming smiled. "Our situation is a little bit better. It's not like some gangs in Taiwan have started laying off employees."
Now that the economic crisis is spreading, some gang organizations are in financial difficulties, and it is not easy to feed a large number of people, so they have begun to lay off employees and cut salaries. Some Taiwanese gang members that Cheng Shanming said are like those gangsters in the movie "Young and Dangerous". When managing a street or something, if someone makes a disturbance, he can call hundreds of people casually, even surround government agencies, and destroy some speeches of electors. Some young people can't study well, can't find a job, so they become such gangsters and join the hall.
But now, under the economic crisis, even the punks are going to lose their jobs.
Although the Tang Sect is not such a gangster organization, but completely militarized, but because of this, the military expenditure is a huge figure.
Don't look at Wang Chao's willingness to throw money at critical moments, but Zhou Yuxin's blow to Zhou Yuxin in China cost five million dollars at once, showing the air of a king. The Liao family and the Yang family's two military commanders even spent hundreds of millions of dollars, and they competed with six famous American masters, even taking out 600 million U.S. dollars in cash for a gamble. But in real calculation, the cash that Wang Chao can control is less than seven or eight billion euros. Although Nanyang Tangmen's industries are large, most of them are real estate. At the critical moment, it has no effect, and it is cumbersome instead.
However, the total value of the US dollars and gold hard currency in Tangmen's own vault is not as much as the three billion US dollars that he extorted from Willy.
Usually doing big things, throwing away hundreds of millions seems like nothing, but it still feels heartache for Wang Chao to throw away a billion.
Like Willie, Wang Chao conceited that he didn't have such a big hand yet when he took out three billion U.S. dollars to redeem himself. It can also be seen how powerful a centuries-old Western family like Rockefeller is.
"How much did Zhao Guangrong and Lin Shifeng blow away?" Cheng Shanming asked.
"A rough estimate shows that more than half of our Nanyang Tangmen's ten-year stock of gold, U.S. dollars and other hard currencies has been scraped away. The value is more than 10 billion."
The skin on Wang Chao's face wrinkled, and a trace of pity flashed across his eyes when he spoke.
But Cheng Shanming's expression was different, he took a sharp breath from the root of his teeth, as if he felt distressed as if he had died. Although it has long been expected that Zhao Guangrong and Lin Shifeng have kept a hand in Nanyang Tangmen for ten years, and this time Tang Zichen's reform will deprive them of their military power, and they will definitely take away a lot of assets, but they did not expect it. so much!
Although it wasn't his own money, Cheng Shanming still felt heartache after hearing it. This is not his being a miser, but the thinking of "not being in charge of the family, not knowing that money is too expensive". As a leader of a fighting group, of course he knows what such a large sum of money means.
"The specific content of our North American Hongmen meeting this time is not very optimistic for Nanyang Tangmen. And in North America as a whole, aside from some large forces of Westerners, among the Chinese, Hongmen and Tangmen are also Not the biggest. This Hongmen meeting also invited some leaders blocked by the big circle. They have always believed that you have broken the unspoken rules of our overseas Chinese world. As compensation, Nanyang Tangmen needs to let go of all ocean route rights .This discussion has been put on the agenda. But it has not been submitted like your Nanyang Tangmen."
Cheng Shanming revealed some internal information.
"Let go of the ocean route right? What a big tone. But they dare not submit it!" Wang Chao sneered.
The ocean route right is the ocean transportation route from Southeast Asia to North America controlled by Nanyang Tangmen. Every year from Southeast Asia in the Golden Triangle, countless organizations use a large amount of drugs, cheap products, specialty products and other materials through the Pacific Ocean to the North American market, while the North American market smuggles a large number of cars, arms, and luxury goods to Southeast Asia. Every business transaction that comes and goes must be paid to the Tang Sect and some government warlords for road money and protection fees!
For example, if a ship of drugs needs to be transported from Southeast Asia to the North American market, it must first bribe the naval inspectors of the Indonesian and other governments, and after paying tribute to the warlords, it must be confessed to the local emperors of the Tang Sect before it can pass through the Nanyang Sea.
After arriving in the North American market, we must also serve the North American government. Layer upon layer of skimping along the way.
Now some gangs and associations in North America have united to ask Tangmen to let go of paying for road purchases, which is no less than calling for the abolition of all road tollbooths in China. Wang Chao also had to marvel at their appetite.
If this item is really cancelled, Nanyang Tangmen may have to lay off staff and cut salaries in a few years.
"The situation in North America is complicated. Brother Wang, don't be too impulsive this time. The matter of asking Nanyang to let go of the sea route right this time is probably a trick of that old fox inside your Tang Sect. It will put you and the whole All forces in North America confront."
Seeing Wang Chao sneer, Cheng Shanming said hastily that he was worried that Wang Chao would behead him again and turn the entire North American forces into endless enemies.
"Don't worry, brother. I dealt with Situ's family this time and that time for the sake of gaining prestige, not to kill more people. Now the purpose of gaining prestige has been achieved. The next step is carrots. North America is a huge place. The economy is also very rich. If there is a stalemate, it is not good for everyone. However, according to what you said just now, it seems that the gangs in North America have united to put pressure on the Nanyang Tangmen. I wonder if there are any neutral factions?"
Wang Chao smiled.
"Of course there is. The largest Chinese gang organization in North America is the Big Circle Gang. One of its leaders is Mo Yunyan in Canada. She is Ai Yang's fiancée. Do you have time? If you have time, we can meet."
"Chen Aiyang's fiancée?" Wang Chao said in surprise: "I remember Chen Aiyang was single last year, why did he have a fiancée so soon?"
"I recently met Mo Yunyan. This Mo Yunyan is not a simple character. The successor of the Southern School of Mojiaquan has a nickname called 'God Leg', but she is a fierce character. She doesn't use a gun. I can't help her. "Cheng Shanming seemed to lament the emergence of young talents in large numbers.
"Mojia boxing of the southern school? The five famous boxers of the southern school are Hong, Liu, Cai, Li, and Mo. But it is a more famous boxing style than Wing Chun. Since it is called 'God Leg', it must have inherited the title of Mo Qingjiao. The kung fu must be Great."
Wang Chao did know that the Southern School of Mojia Boxing was created by Mo Qingjiao, a female general of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, and it is a major branch of Southern Boxing.
