1900: A physics genius wandering around Europe

Chapter 267: One has money, the other has connections, the future Chinese consortium!
On the sixth floor of the On Leong Tong headquarters in Chinatown, New York.

Li Qiwei and Li San were led into a luxurious private room by Liu Liangzhong.

Liu Liangzhong pushed open the door and Li Qiwei walked into the room.

A large round table was filled with various Chinese specialties.

The elites of Anliangtang stood in a circle in the corners of the room.

At the main seat at the table, a sturdy middle-aged man about 1.7 meters tall stood there tall.

A strong aura spread out.

Li Qiwei was shocked as he finally met the legendary boss Situ.

After all, he is a person who will be able to stand on the upper floor and close to the sun in the future. This aura alone is extraordinary.

Boss Situ smiled and waved his hand gently, and the younger brothers around him immediately shouted: "Welcome Mr. Li!"

The voices were uniform and the momentum was overwhelming.

At this moment, Li Qiwei's vanity was greatly satisfied.

At the same time, he complained in his heart: Damn, I might as well not be a physicist. It would be so much more fun to be a big boss.

At this time, Boss Situ walked around the table and came to Li Qiwei's side, and said enthusiastically:

"Mr. Li, your presence here is truly a great honor to my humble place."

“I feel the atmosphere of culture is everywhere.”

Li Qiwei liked the boss's bold and uninhibited character very much, and immediately said with a smile: "Thank you, Boss Situ, for your help."

“I am also flattered by today’s welcome.”

Boss Situ smiled and said, "Sir, please don't be like this. You are someone I admire."

Then, he apologized to Li Qiwei and turned to Li San and said, "This must be the famous brother Li San."

"He is indeed a man of integrity."

Li San clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for the compliment, sir."

Boss Situ said, "We are in a hurry today, so I will let Liangzhong entertain you first."

"After I learn from Mr. Li, I will definitely host a banquet for the three Li brothers separately."

Li San quickly declined.

Li Qiwei saw it and thought that the boss was indeed a boss. He did things flawlessly and made people feel very comfortable.

Soon, Liu Liangzhong took Li San out to have fun alone, and his younger brothers followed him out.

Only Li Qiwei and Boss Situ were left in the room.

"Mr. Li, please take a seat."

"I have prepared good wine and good food today."

"You are alone in a foreign country, it may be difficult to eat authentic hometown food."

Li Qiwei smiled as he sat down, "Then I'm in for a treat."

Boss Situ said with a smile: "Mr. Li, I am more than ten years older than you, how about we become friends as equals?"

Li Qiwei immediately laughed and said, "Haha, Brother Situ, I am taking advantage of you."

Boss Situ said boldly: "Brother, I am the one who benefited from you."

"You don't know how many people in the Hongmen of America envy me now."

"When they knew you were coming, they all begged me to take them with me."

"Everyone wants to meet you, China's number one Western learning master."

"You are much more famous than us in Hongmen."

Li Qiwei was speechless. He had just gained another title.

But he doesn't care. The more famous he becomes, the stronger his appeal will be in the future, and this is exactly what he needs.

Afterwards, Li Qiwei and Boss Situ praised each other's business, drinking and chatting about all sorts of things.

During this period, Li Qiwei also learned many secrets of the Hongmen.

Although the Hongmen in America respects the Zhigongtang as the most respected one, the various halls are not subordinate to each other, making it difficult for them to form a joint force, and sometimes they even fight among themselves.

For example, a few years ago, the On Leong Tong had a big fight with another Chinese gang, the Hip Shing Tong.

Finally, with the intervention of a New York judge, the two sides signed a truce agreement, and have lived in peace ever since.

The reason for the internal strife is very simple, it is nothing more than a business conflict.

Chinatown is only so big and there are so many gangs.

If gangs want to survive and maintain the operation of the organization, they can only open gambling dens, smoking pubs, restaurants, etc.

The businesses of various gangs overlap to a great extent, which naturally leads to friction.

But this cannot be blamed on Anliangtang and other gangs.

It was 1910 in the United States. The Chinese Exclusion Act was prevalent, and it was extremely difficult for Chinese people to engage in legitimate business.

Moreover, you can't expect a group of gang members to make a lot of money by working in the high-tech industry.

As for those monopoly areas, they are the private domain of bigwigs like Rockefeller.

Most Americans can't even get close to it, let alone the Chinese.

Therefore, Anliangtang can only compete in the Red Ocean area.

At least they did not openly oppress their compatriots, but instead provided protection.

After learning this information, Li Qiwei had a plan in mind, but he remained silent.

At this time, both of them were a little drunk and spoke casually.

Boss Situ talked about Li Qiwei and asked, "Brother, what are your plans for the future?"

Li Qiwei said proudly: "Of course, after completing my studies, I will return to my country to improve China's education and scientific and technological strength."

"I have my own industry in Borneo. It is an awesome heavy industry system, which is what China lacks the most."

"In the future, I will train a large number of students and have them spread out to various places to start China's industrial revolution."

"Alas, we have been lagging behind for too long."

Boss Situ was immediately in awe. He thought Li Qiwei was just trying to improve education in the country, but he didn't expect he had such a grand ambition.

"Brother, you really work hard for China."

"If you need the Hongmen in the future, feel free to ask."

"I don't understand high technology, but I know that people's hearts are evil."

"If Chinese people want to achieve any success, they will definitely face all kinds of difficulties."

"We in the Hongmen sect have a large number of people and are not afraid of trouble."

Li Qiwei followed up and said, "Brother Situ, I really need the Hongmen's help with something."

"Oh?" Boss Situ was instantly excited.

Then, Li Qiwei described in detail his plan to start a company in the United States.

Including the fields engaged, future layout, scale, etc.

Of course, there is no lack of big promises.

When Li Qiwei said that his company's future goal was to have tens of billions of dollars in assets, Boss Situ was stunned by the shock. This was completely beyond his imagination.

A few years ago, Mr. Sun came to the United States to call for fundraising, and the entire Hongmen group only raised $200,000.

Boss Situ knows that the current richest man in the United States only has assets of ten billion US dollars.

Hundreds of billions of dollars is really too exaggerated, it is so large that it is unimaginable.

However, he couldn't help but believe Li Qiwei.

It seems that the other person's words have a kind of magic that makes people trust them unconditionally.

Boss Situ has also heard of the high-tech products that Li Qiwei talked about.

But he never thought that one day Chinese people would also be able to work in these fields.

At this moment, he deeply realized that Li Qiwei was even more awesome than he had imagined.

The other party is far from being just a scientist.

Boss Situ's thoughts were also changing quietly.

After Li Qiwei finished laying the groundwork, he continued, "But Brother Situ, you also know that it is very difficult for Chinese people to make money in the United States."

"Don't think that the Americans treated me with great courtesy and treated me like a distinguished guest."

"That's because I'm a scientist. I'm not a threat to them, and I can help them improve their scientific level."

"But if I had tens of billions of dollars now, I would definitely be eaten up without leaving anything behind."

"Americans will definitely not allow the Chinese to make their money."

"No identity will be able to protect me by then."

"Only true power can do that."

"So, my company needs protection so that I can make money with peace of mind."

"The Hongmen is the largest Chinese gang in the United States, with more than 10 members. It is an enormous force."

"But your biggest problem is that you don't have money, or in other words, you don't have enough money."

"So you can't form a political force that can't be ignored."

"But I do have it. I have money, and you have people. When combined, you become a huge force that no one dares to mess with."

"We can even influence American politics behind the scenes."

“Chinese people must have a say!”

Li Qiwei waved his hand and said with great passion.

boom!
It was as if thunder exploded in Boss Situ's mind.

Even the drunkenness disappeared instantly.

The future described by Li Qiwei made him tremble all over and he dared not even think about it.

At this moment, he finally understood that anyone who regarded this well-mannered young man as a weak scholar would be totally wrong.

Compared with Li Qiwei's idea, Boss Situ felt that his Anliangtang was a joke.

The two are not on the same level at all.

Given the size of the Hongmen, if there is a financial group supporting it, the explosive power it would have would be unimaginable.

You have to know that at that time, although the United States was very strong, its military strength was average.

The entire country's army only has about 30,000 people.

Because the United States has no strong enemies around it, and the two oceans isolate it from all war artillery fire.

Therefore, military strength is not very important.

If Li Qiwei could really be so cruel, he could even start an uprising in the United States.

Having money and connections does not necessarily mean you cannot achieve great things.

Of course, Britain will not sit idly by.

So Li Qiwei’s goal was not that big. All he had to do was to imitate the practices of later Jews.

Control the United States through financial, political and other means behind the scenes.

He is confident that his company will become a giant in the United States.

Coupled with the Hongmen with its 100,000 members, they have both military and financial resources, enough to protect themselves.

Unless the United States wants to tear its face off and do whatever it takes, Li Qiwei will be able to rest assured.

His wealth could then be safely transferred to Borneo to accumulate strength for greater goals.

Boss Situ's face flushed with excitement. He had made up his mind that he must hold Li Qiwei's thighs tightly.

To this end, he plans to go to the Hongmen's chief leader Huang Sande tomorrow to discuss having the Hongmen grant Li Qiwei the position of Honggun.

This is the same position as Mr. Sun.

Obviously, in Boss Situ's heart, Li Qiwei is as important as Mr. Sun.

It’s just that one focuses on the outside and the other focuses on the inside.

Moreover, Li Qiwei's plan is closely related to the future of Hongmen, and is more worthy of Hongmen's attention.

Next, Li Qiwei told Boss Situ more details, even including the Hongmen’s investment.

Boss Situ wanted to become sworn brothers with Li Qiwei on the spot.

Of course, he was afraid that Li Qiwei was not used to the underworld atmosphere, so he did not propose it rashly. It would be embarrassing if he was rejected.

The two of them spent more than two hours eating before they stopped.

Both sides were smiling happily, hugging each other's shoulders, just like close brothers.

At this time, Liu Liangzhong and Li San were already waiting outside the door.

Seeing the two of them so happy, they felt relieved.

At this time, Li Qiwei was ready to leave.

Boss Situ grabbed Li San and said drunkenly, "Brother Li San, you can't leave. I still want to drink with you alone."

Boss Situ knew what was going on, but he couldn't completely let go with Li Qiwei.

But it’s different with Li San. If you bind to Li San, isn’t that equivalent to binding to Li Qiwei?

He knew a little about the relationship between Li Qiwei and Li San. They were not simply master and servant.

Li San was helpless and looked at Li Qiwei.

Li Qiwei smiled and said, "Third brother, it's okay. I'll go back to the hotel alone first."

"Just have fun here."

"Brother Situ's enthusiasm cannot be let down."

Since Li Qiwei had spoken, Li San naturally obeyed.

So, they all started drinking again.

Liu Liangzhong had already instructed five of his loyal brothers to escort Li Qiwei to the hotel safely.

And when Li San didn't go back, they stayed there.
