Start in America, and receive three assassins every day.

Chen An smiled after hearing this.

"That's great. Take me to see him. I want to talk to him."

Brooke nodded and said, "No problem, Ann. After all, you just did me a big favor. I'll take you to see him. Compared to Grandpa Jess, Andre is easier to talk to."

The two then headed toward another area, and soon Brooke led him to a house converted from a shipping container.

"Mr. Andrei, are you there? Someone is looking for you." Brooke knocked on the iron gate, making a sound.

After a while, footsteps came from inside the door, and as the door opened from the inside out, a figure appeared in front of them.

Contrary to his expectations, the other person was quite old, with a face full of wrinkles, a full head of white hair, and a cane. He looked at Brooke with cloudy eyes and smiled slightly.

"It's you, Brooke. Didn't you go to Jess's? What do you want? You don't want to come back and work, do you? There's nothing to do here."

Brooke said, "It's like this, Mr. Andre, this is Mr. Chen An, who wants to recommend him to become an internal member of the dockworkers' union."

"Hello, Mr. Andrei," Chen An greeted with a smile.

Upon hearing this, Andrei began to scrutinize Chen An before him, then shook his head. "That's unlikely."

Chen An was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Mr. Andre, I have people who can handle dock affairs very well. I have at least forty men under my command, all of them strong and healthy. I believe you know what that means."

Upon hearing this, Andrei shook his head again and said, "It's not a question of whether it's possible or not, but that San Pedro Wharf doesn't allow people of Asian descent to become internal members. This is a rule set by the chairman, and it can't be changed. Do you understand?"

Hearing this, Chen An was furious. White people are allowed, black people are allowed, but Asians are not allowed. This is really discrimination.

And Jess actually lied to him, saying that if he worked there long enough, he could become an insider. Jess must have known all along that it was impossible for an Asian person to become an insider.

Fortunately, he had other options, and then pointed to Anton beside him: "What if we send him? Is that possible?"

Andrei looked at Anton, his face thoughtful.

Chen An continued, "I see you're short-staffed here and don't have much work to do, so you probably aren't making much money. I have people, and you have the channels, so things will definitely get better and better. I guarantee we'll have new people coming in every day."

"I did the same thing with Jess before, but he was always wary of me."

Andrei said, "He can, and as long as he has legal status, he just needs to pay some money; it won't be much trouble."

Chen An looked taken aback and asked uncertainly, "You mean becoming a member of the dock only requires paying money, and doesn't require years of service?"

Andrei nodded. "That's true."

Grass!

So Jess had been lying to him all along. He wanted to chop him up, but the current situation was more important.

"Looks like you've been fooled by that kid Jess. He loves doing things like this." Andrei clearly understood Jess's personality and saw through the deception at a glance.

Brooke hadn't expected it to turn out this way.

"Of course, Jess dared to say that because it would be difficult to find people to join the dockworkers' union without the foreman's introduction."

Upon hearing this, Chen An looked at the other party and said, "Mr. Andre, could you please let all my men join the dockworkers' union? I'll pay for it."

Since money can make it happen, let's just have all the current suicide squad members join the dockworkers' union and gain a foothold.

"Of course, money can make it happen, but are you sure you want to join my team? As you can see, I don't have much work to do here."

"Because I'm getting old and can't compete for jobs anymore, fewer and fewer people are coming to me, which has led to even fewer jobs."

Chen An laughed and said, "That's no problem, I have the manpower."

"You're still in good health, and you're at the prime of your life. You just need to take on jobs, and I'll have my people do the work. One of them is equivalent to three people. If we increase efficiency, the union members will also make money, and they'll be happy to hand over the work to us."

"By the way, how much do you guys earn per job?"

Andrei replied, "It depends on the pay. If a job pays ten thousand US dollars a day, and you work for three days, the union takes 60%, and the rest is all ours. Then we distribute the money and pay the wages."

"If you have ten of these jobs a day, that's $40,000. The more the better."

Depend on!

It seems that Jess earned ten or twenty times more from him than his wages!

"What you just said really touched me. I'm also approaching retirement age and I'm thinking of earning some money to prepare for a trip, since my children have grown up, gotten married, and my grandchildren have been born."

"I was originally planning to retire early, but now it seems I can work with you for a while. Maybe when I retire, the person next to you can take my place."

Upon hearing this, Chen An was overjoyed. That was wonderful! If An Dong became the foreman, wouldn't that mean he would become the foreman as well?

"Then let's work together happily, how about we split the profits 50/50?"

Andrei said, "Sure, I'm quite content to get all this just by talking without doing anything."

"Wait a minute, let me get ready and then I'll take you to see the person in charge of the San Pedro Pier."

Soon, Andrei walked over dressed in a formal suit. He looked completely different from before, and you could tell that he had a good temperament when he was young.

"Let's go, take the money."

Chen An and his group then headed towards a three-story building at the dock, having secretly notified his assassins. Since Jess treated him like dirt, he didn't need to be polite anymore. Once he became a member of the dock's inner circle, he would naturally be placed under Andrei's command.

The collaboration with Jess has also come to a complete end.

Before long they arrived at the dock union building and went straight to the second floor.

"Andrei, you haven't retired yet? It's been months since I last saw you, and you're already using a cane?" a middle-aged white man joked with a smile.

"I'm retiring soon, but a big business deal recently came in, so I guess I'll have to give it my all one last push."

The man laughed upon hearing this, "You don't have any workers under you, so even if you take on a big job, there's no one to do it. You might as well give it to us."

"Never mind, I have to go now."

He left without looking back.

Andrei's expression didn't change much as he continued walking forward. Most of the people he passed would greet him and exchange a few words with him.

This made Chen An realize that Andrei had deep connections here. It made sense, considering he was so old and had worked at the docks for the longest time; the connections were already deeply rooted.

Soon, they arrived at the door of the person in charge's office. Andrei pushed the door open and walked in. "How have you been lately, old friend? I've come to see you."

Chen An looked over and saw that the person sitting inside was also quite old, with white hair at his temples, and was about ten years younger than Andrei.
