Chapter 261: The Green Gang's Resistance
"This junior is naturally aware of this. We in the Yanhuang Alliance have our own legitimate business, and our purpose in America is to make money." Hou Xiaoge bowed.
Hearing what Hou Xiaoge said, the old man was a little surprised, but it was just buying a farm and a few manors. He was not optimistic about Hou Xiaoge.
"Old man, the purpose of the new students coming here today is that if they do business in a region of America in the future and are troubled by local white gangs, they hope to get help from our Green Gang." He Youde, who was standing aside, saw that the atmosphere was a bit awkward and interrupted directly.
“Okay, Youde, I’ll leave this matter to you.
As long as you don't provoke the American government and a few big families, the Qing Gang can still help you with the underworld. "The old man saw the expectant look on his apprentice's face, thought for a moment and nodded.
"Thank you, Master Zhang!" Hou Xiaoge stood up and bowed.
Zhang Tongpan accepted it calmly. He had experienced too many such visits in his life.
"Okay, that's it!" Pan Zhang didn't invite Hou Xiaoge to dinner, he picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Hou Xiaoge saw the other party serving tea to see the guests off and didn't think of staying any longer. He stood up, bowed and left Zhang's house.
Besides, he came to visit the Qing Gang just to pass the time. He just hoped that these people would not cause trouble for his forces when he was not around.
He Youde just sent Hou Xiaoge out and left the person behind.
"Old man, they gave us ginseng worth thousands of dollars, so please be nicer!" After seeing Hou Xiaoge off, He Youde returned to the hall and said to his master.
"Oh! I indeed didn't see the gift. What it was was worth thousands of dollars." Judge Zhang also sat up straight with curiosity.
"I don't know either. I heard from the freshmen that it is the Huanwang ginseng from Qin Province, twenty years old. In the past, only the emperor could enjoy it." He Youde took the wooden box and opened it.
There was a fresh ginseng as thick as a brush stick lying quietly in a box set against yellow silk. It looked very valuable.
"Huan Wang Shen! I know. This thing is also called Huan Shen, Huan Huang Shen.
Look at this ginseng, it has a long stem, a plump body, fine spiral lines, and pearly bumps on its tail. It looks quite different from other varieties of ginseng.
Just listen to the name, the Emperor of the Mountains, he is naturally the most noble among the ginseng.
Huan ginseng has been the best ginseng since the Yanhuang period, but after the Tang and Song dynasties, it has become very scarce.
Later, with the development of Northeast China during the Ming and Qing dynasties, Liao ginseng had a large output and gradually replaced Huan ginseng to occupy the market.
However, in terms of preciousness, the Huan ginseng is naturally superior.
Huan ginseng of a certain age only appears on the market once every five or six years. When I was young, every time Huan ginseng appeared, it was worth at least thousands of taels of silver.
This twenty-year-old ginseng should be worth about five thousand dollars in China, and in the United States, if there are Chinese who know the value of it, it can be sold for three to five thousand dollars without any problem." Zhang Tongpan imparted his knowledge to his disciples.
"I see! I've only heard of Liao ginseng before. I heard that the ginseng there is the best quality. I didn't expect there is ginseng in the northwest. It's really an eye-opener.
This thing is really expensive! A wild American ginseng or Northeast wild ginseng of the same year is only tens or hundreds of dollars, but this one is worth thousands, there is really no comparison. "He Youde was shocked.
"There are so many things you don't know, and many things ordinary people can't access." Judge Zhang smiled and shook his head.
"Yeah! Not enough levels."
"It seems that the Yanhuang Alliance is really a "golden" dragon! Not only is it developing rapidly, but it also has a lot of money." Pan Zhang looked at the ginseng on the table and sighed with emotion.
A few days ago, his disciples told him about Hou Xiaoge, and he learned about the Yanhuang Alliance through inquiries from various domestic channels.
According to domestic feedback, the Yanhuang League and their Qing Gang do not have a friendly relationship in China and fights often occur.
Especially after the Qing Gang lost most of its water transportation base, some of its forces withdrew to the rear and had many conflicts with the newly established Yanhuang League.
This is also the reason why Zhang Tongpan is not very nice to Hou Xiaoge. After all, love the house and love the dog! And vice versa.
Seeing his disciple's puzzled face, Zhang Tongpan told He Youde the information he had heard from the country.
"Master, our Huaqing Gang has not had much contact with the domestic Qing Gang for four or five years. In the past, we mostly developed on our own, and the domestic support was not strong.
I think we cannot treat the Yanhuang League the same way we treat the Qing Gang in China, but should choose to cooperate with them.
As the Green Gang’s influence on domestic waterways has been severely damaged, it will be difficult for the Green Gang to make major achievements in the future even if the Anti-Japanese War is won.
Our overseas Qing Gang does not have the strength and foundation like the Hongmen, which is spread across Southeast Asia and the Americas. If we do not have the foundation of the domestic Qing Gang, our future prospects will be bleak.
The Yanhuang Alliance is really rich. As soon as they arrived in Los Angeles, they spent millions of dollars to purchase properties. I think even if our Los Angeles branch took out this much money, it would be a huge loss.
And I heard that Xinsheng and JPMorgan Chase are about to have a big cooperation. Today I went to the Waldorf Hotel to meet Peter Smith Morgan, the head of the Morgan family in California.
I think given Peter Morgan's status as the head of the California family, it would be difficult to meet him without three to five million US dollars.
Therefore, I think our Qing Gang must attach importance to cooperation with the new representatives of the American Yanhuang League in America.
Moreover, the Yanhuang Alliance is so rich that we are bound to be unable to stop them from coming to America.
Tomorrow, Xinsheng will go to San Francisco to meet Hongmen Sanye. If Hongmen gets the chance to cooperate and make friends, our Qing Gang will lose more than it gains. "He Youde didn't want the two forces to go to war, which would only benefit outsiders, and said to Zhang Tongpan with a serious face.
"What? You said that the young man actually met Peter, the head of the Morgan family in California today." Judge Zhang also sat up in shock.
He Youde had only been in the Green Gang for less than ten years and had an average status. He also didn't like gang affairs so he had little contact with many things. Naturally, he didn't understand the value of Morgan and the California leader.
Pan Zhang had been in California for nearly half a century and had experienced the terrifying power of the Morgan family.
To put it in one word, in the capitalist America, wealth is everywhere.
He had met this young man Peter once at a banquet. He was the head of the headquarters in three nearby states outside California and was in charge of assets worth billions of dollars.
Although Peter only belonged to the Morgan family's side branch, his identity as a member of the Green Gang was looked down upon by others, and he did not even have a chance to speak.
It was really shocking that a young man from the Yanhuang League came to America and came into contact with such a person just because of the flu.
"It seems that I am really old! Not only have I become narrow-minded, but I have also become less courageous.
Youde, you are right. Since we cannot stop the Yanhuang League from developing in America, we can be its protectors when it is weak, so as to preserve a little friendship and have a way to go in the future. "President Zhang sat down on the official hat chair and sighed weakly.
"I understand, master!"
