The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 801 Who Cares What the "Old World Relics" Think

"Mr. Chen, I heard that the Spanish have frozen your assets in Cuba. Is that true? Do you have anything to say?"

"They will spit out double the amount!" Chen Zhengwei said nonchalantly.

In fact, ever since his assets in Cuba were frozen, many people have been waiting to see the show.

However, Chen Zhengwei did not react at all, which was completely different from the style he had always shown.

Although the Spanish envoy was beaten to a pulp, if that was all, Chen Zhengwei would still have suffered a great loss.

After all, he has many plantations in Cuba, worth tens of millions of dollars, and is also an important supplier to American sugar companies.

This makes many people feel that Chen Zhengwei is not that difficult to deal with.

You should know that no one dares to provoke Chen Zhengwei now because of his brutal character and continuous victories.

As long as he shows a hint of weakness, many people will think that he is just that strong and not really that powerful.

"Mr. Chen, according to the latest news, the Spanish said they would send reinforcements to Cuba... They seem to want to threaten war..."

Reporters still know what to ask and what not to ask.

For example, the Spanish Embassy Massacre was not mentioned at all.

Everyone knows that it was Chen Zhengwei who did it.

"I have good news to tell you! I'm a father again!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"I have another daughter. Although she looks a little bit emaciated, people tell me she will be very pretty when she grows up!"

"Congratulations, Mr. Chen..." Several reporters smiled quickly, but they didn't know why Chen Zhengwei suddenly said this.

Chen Zhengwei then spread his hands and said contemptuously: "So... who cares what a bunch of old-worlders do or think?"

"Times have changed! They are still stuck in the past, but no one cares about them anymore!"

"Okay, that's all for today's interview. Polish what I said and send it out!" Chen Zhengwei waved his hand, and several reporters tactfully said goodbye and left.

These reporters were dispatched to Los Angeles by major newspapers. Their main task was to interview Chen Zhengwei when he needed them.

"Let's go for a drink together?" After leaving Chen Zhengwei's mansion, several reporters looked at each other.

These reporters are already very familiar with each other.

"Looks like a war is really about to break out!" When they arrived at the bar, several people chatted while drinking.

"Mr. Chen's character... is known to everyone! The incident with the Spanish envoy was just the beginning, not the end!"

"Many people outside think that Mr. Chen will suffer a big loss this time. They don't know him very well!"

"I like what you just said...Old World relic, the Spanish will definitely be angry when they see these words!"

The next day, this report appeared in major news reports, and was then "kindly" forwarded by the British and appeared in Spanish newspapers.

"Remnants of the old world!" These big words directly hurt the nerves of the Spaniards.

The whole of Spain was in an uproar, wanting to teach the Americans a lesson!
Especially that China guy!

……

"Have you chosen a name?" Lin Changning asked while picking up some food for Chen Zhengwei after dinner.

It took Chen Zhengwei a long time to name the golden egg.

Now that Wanyun has given birth to a daughter, she doesn’t dare to ask, so Lin Changning took the initiative to ask for her.

"Rose! Easy to grow!" Chen Zhengwei said casually.

"Roses are not that easy to grow..." Lin Changning said. Chen Zhengwei had never grown flowers before, so he knew nothing.

Chen Zhengwei suddenly remembered a band he liked very much in the past, Second-Hand Rose.

"That dogtail flower!" Chen Zhengwei said immediately. "This one must be easy to grow!"

"Just call it Rose!" Lin Changning glared at him: "What does dogtail flower sound like?

Wan Yun then breathed a sigh of relief. She was really afraid that her daughter would be named Gouweihua... As soon as others heard the name, they would know that the child was not favored.

"Someone once said that Chinese people like to compromise! You said the room is too dark and you want to open a window on the wall, but everyone else disagrees. But then you lift the roof...and everyone else immediately agrees!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

"Americans are the same! People are all like this!" Lin Changning immediately retorted.

"Besides, I've never seen you like to compromise!"

As they were having dinner, Lin Changning asked again, "How was the banquet? Was it fun?"

Chen Zhengwei just came back from San Francisco, where he organized a New Year's party, which is also a custom in San Francisco.

Chen Zhengwei holds a banquet at the club every New Year, inviting the most powerful and wealthy people in San Francisco.

Of course, he is definitely the most powerful one.

"It's still the same, but there are more and more people! But I have a new idea recently..." Chen Zhengwei took a cigar and put it in his mouth after finishing his meal, smoking while saying, "Starting next year, only 50 people will be invited! The 50 most powerful and wealthy people in San Francisco!"

"This is difficult to do, right? After all, power and wealth...some things cannot be quantified, and there will definitely be disputes at that time!" Lin Changning said after thinking for a while.

“For example, if two people with similar positions are included in the list and the other is not, what will others think?”

"If one person dies, there will be no dispute!" Chen Zhengwei said lightly.

Seeing Lin Changning and Wanyun looking at him, Chen Zhengwei spread his hands and said, "I was just kidding!"

"Let them fight for a while, otherwise where's the fun in watching it?"

Having said that, he also knew that with his current influence, the guests attending this banquet would reach the peak of fame and status.

Whatever you do in the coming year will be easier.

By then, there will really be people who become enemies and kill each other privately because of this list.

He just wanted to see this!
……

On January 1883, 1, part of the Spanish home fleet finally left Cadiz.

A total of seven warships, plus three supply ships, a total of ten ships headed for Cuba.

In the morning, Chen Zhengwei crawled out from among several arms and legs. This was his apartment in Los Angeles, covering an area of more than 200 square meters, with an extra-large bedroom, an extra-large bed, and several bathrooms.

After Chen Zhengwei went to flush the toilet, he returned to the bed and pulled the people off the bed one by one by their legs.

"Girls, wake up and eat!"

These are all ballet dancers he hired from the theater.

After dawdling for more than an hour, the girls finally got up, washed, and changed their clothes. Chen Zhengwei took them downstairs to have morning tea.

As soon as I went downstairs, I saw Li Xiwen standing against the wall in a gentleman's suit, with a few thugs beside him.

"Senior Brother, it's already noon..." Li Xiwen took out his pocket watch and looked at it!

"That shows how powerful I am! They can't get up!" Chen Zhengwei said with a laugh, putting his arm around Li Xiwen's shoulder and walking to the side.

"Brother, I just received news that the Spanish fleet has set off."

"So fast? Are you in a hurry to reincarnate?" Chen Zhengwei was a little surprised.

Fighting a war is not something you can do by simply announcing it today and sending out troops tomorrow.

The Spaniards needed the fleet to return to the port for inspection and replenishment, so he was a little surprised that they could set off so soon.

Chen Zhengwei turned his head and looked, then called a henchman: "Take them over to eat, and let them go back by themselves after dinner."

After he finished speaking, he clapped his hands and said, "Girls, I still have something to do! You can follow him to have morning tea, and then go back by yourselves!"

A few girls came over, kissed him on the face and left smiling.

"Brother! Wipe your face! It's covered with lipstick!" Li Xiwen took out a handkerchief and asked his henchman to wet it in the shop next door, then handed it to Chen Zhengwei.

"Where is our ship?" Chen Zhengwei asked while wiping his face after taking the handkerchief.

"They arrived in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, yesterday and are resupplying there."

"It looks like both sides arrived at about the same time... Including the time for supplies, it's probably 18 to 20 days!" Chen Zhengwei stretched out his hand on the car door and jumped into the convertible on the side of the road.

A few thugs came jogging over and used the joystick to start the car.

"What date is Chinese New Year this year?" Chen Zhengwei asked while driving.

"August 2th!"

"Damn it, it looks like I can't celebrate the New Year at home this year! These guys can't even pick a fucking time to start a fight!" Chen Zhengwei was a little annoyed.

He is a family man.

Although he is always flirting with other women and is rarely seen, he is a family man and will still be at home during the New Year.

But it seems that this year it won’t work.

"Brother Wei, are you going there in person?" Li Xiwen asked in surprise.

"That punk has frozen my assets! I haven't seen anyone so courageous in a long time. I have to see him with my own eyes. If I don't go early, I'm afraid I won't be able to see him!" Chen Zhengwei patted the steering wheel and grinned.

After returning home, Chen Zhengwei went to the study, looked at the map on the wall, and made marks with a pen.

It was similar to what he remembered, the distance from Spain to Cuba and from Brazil to Cuba was almost the same, which meant that both sides arrived at about the same time.

"Go arrange the manpower and train, and leave in three days. I'm going to Houston!"

"By the way, go tell Cicely to go out with me, tell her we're going on a trip!"
