Chapter 212 The Past in Chinatown

"But you will come over at some point! Hiring a few bodyguards at this time can also make me feel more at ease. I am only 48 years old, and I don't want to be scared by you into premature aging!"

Slapping the table, Julian puffed his beard and glared to express his dissatisfaction with Carter's contemptuous attitude.

It is true that this matter is a small probability event, but the bodyguards of other rich people are not prepared for small probability events? Who the hell is being fucked every day, so why not...

"Yes, I also think you should have a few bodyguards. Little brother, you don't know. When I heard that they were looking for you, I was almost anxious to death. These people are so evil... They can't even protect our Chinese compatriots.

I can drink blood, let alone deal with you..."

The fat boss, who had been sitting aside and had no room for him to speak, now spoke with some sincerity and joined Julian in admonishing Carter to hire some bodyguards when he came to New York in the future.

"Okay, okay, I beg, I beg! By the way, Lao Chen, what did you just say... I remember that the Chinese gangs were not formed just to keep each other warm and to protect themselves?"

Faced with this unwelcome scene, and Lycoris's worried expression even though she didn't speak, Carter suddenly realized that compared to last year, he had fundamentally changed this year...

As the second shareholder and largest investor of Tiger Asset Management, his own safety will be directly related to Julian's future and the sales of that Tiger Fund.

If I suddenly become ill, I don’t know how the investment money will be handled or whether it will be withdrawn. Just the news of it will be a fatal blow to this nascent company. After all, it is ridiculous to say that Wall Street

People are very superstitious...

For example, some traders will always eat the same lunch as long as the stocks they hold rise, because they believe that changing the lunch menu without authorization may cause the upward trend to be changed; for example, some traders will never go to a certain place.

There is a toilet seat that they think means loss, and there is also the default rule of almost all Wall Street companies: it is forbidden to use red markers, because red means loss, etc...

In fact, it’s not just Wall Street. Carter recalled what he had experienced. It seems that the richer the people, the more superstitious they are...

Invested in your Tiger Fund, but turned around...?! No matter the money, your life is gone. Who dares to invest in this kind of fund?! Not to mention the fat boss and Li Kelis, they both

Life today is largely dependent on one’s own existence.

If you do it, they will be dumbfounded on the spot, right?!

After realizing this, Carter had no choice but to choose to listen to the care and advice of these people. How much can it cost to hire two bodyguards for a month or two...

But after confirming that he would need to hire bodyguards when going to big cities in the future, Carter was a little curious about what the fat boss said. He didn't know that gangs were not that great and upright. Even the Chinese gangs were born out of anti-Chinese gangsters.

Due to factors such as law enforcement, police inaction, systemic discrimination, etc., associations have emerged for self-protection.

But as they develop and grow, almost 99% of gangsters who become rich will transform from the heroes who once slayed dragons into a new evil dragon. In this regard, there is no difference between Chinese gangs, Vietnamese gangs, and Korean gangs.

Carter is not stupid enough to think that they are good people. He is just curious. It is only the 1980s, we are in the midst of a depression, and it has only been about ten years since the law prohibiting discrimination was enacted... barely about ten years.

.

In today's American society, systemic discrimination still pervades every corner. It can be said that the external survival crisis and the rights and interests that we once wanted to fight for through struggle have not yet been resolved and have not been obtained.

Why did he turn into a dragon now?

"That's all for you. It turns out that this is the territory of the Gambino family, and even earlier it was the Koreans. At that time, we not only had to pay protection fees to them every month, but we were also harassed by their people from time to time.

Come and have a king’s meal.”

The fat boss sighed. Just like the day before yesterday, he was very angry with Carter and wished he could kill this unscrupulous foreigner for instigating his daughter, but he had to swallow his anger and just drove him away.

You have to swallow the bitter pill silently...

"It was back in 1968, when I just came to New York. I sold my savings and opened this small restaurant, and I wasn't afraid of your jokes. When I first arrived in New York, I thought this place was paradise. There were high-rise buildings, busy traffic, and people were well-dressed and elegant.

Sa, it turns out...foreigners are not used to my craftsmanship, so doing business depends on the help of my fellow countrymen."

"At that time, we Chinese were still very good and united. Every family had three illnesses and two pains. If we had any difficulties, we would help each other if we could. At that time, although our living standards were barely enough in Hukou, I

I still feel that there is hope for this day, because my motherland will then be..."

"Not even two years after the good times, the Koreans were beaten out by the Gambino family. Then our hard times came. Not to mention the increase in protection fees, those white devils not only ate King's meals, but also drank wine.

He wouldn't stop when he got up, and if he was not treated well, he would be punched and kicked."

"Even when we were walking on the road, we Chinese women were harassed and abused a lot by them. As long as we dared to resist, we would be beaten to death. From time to time, we could hear that a boy from a certain family had his hands and feet broken, and a girl from another family was raped.

News like that. At that time, I was the one who went out to buy groceries. Your fat aunt and Shuzhen, I didn’t dare to let them show their faces."

Listening to the fat boss telling the past events in Chinatown, Carter couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness. He took out the cigarettes in his pocket, gave one to the man, and patted him on the shoulder as a comfort.

"It was also at that time that abc was established. In fact, we couldn't survive it anymore, and we were bullied and poisoned by others from time to time. If it weren't for my family, and I was the only male, if something happened to me, the two of them would

I couldn’t survive anymore, so I joined them at that time.”

"It took more than three years for us Chinese to fight several times with Gambino's people. I heard that we killed dozens of their heads and forced them not to dare to set foot in Chinatown again. This was the end. At that time,

In Chinatown, if you say you are from ABC, everyone will give you a thumbs up."

"At that time, we all regarded them as heroes, and we took the initiative to pay the monthly allowance, which was just a lot more! Occasionally when we saw them coming to eat, we would take the initiative to waive the bill, hoping that they could protect us little ones.

Ordinary people, we can live a good life, earn some hard-earned money in peace and contentment, and support our family."

"The result is still the same as before. Within two years of the good times, these people turned bad. Casinos, karaoke bars, and nightclubs were all created, and drugs and smuggling were also involved. In recent years, people from China have

Ah... Before we even get ashore, they have to scrape off a layer of our skin. When we get to the shore..."

"What about job introduction fees, protection fees, and joining fees? It's just layer after layer of scraping and drinking blood! You said that people come here illegally and do illegal work. Their income is already small, and they still have to take a layer of it.

In addition to the money spent on smuggling, there are also introduction fees..."

"The people who came over later are no different from the slaves in ancient times. They do the most tiring and dangerous work, and in the end it's hard to even have a full meal..."
