The arrogance started from Chinatown

Chapter 161 Changes
"From now on, the shops in your territory can only sell my cigarettes." When getting off the carriage, Chen Zhengwei suddenly remembered this and said to Schultz and Dapolan.

What is business competition? What is expanding business territory?

That's it.

Next, the cigarette factory’s sales volume will increase further.

Back at the casino, Chen Zhengwei instructed Rong Jiacai, "Arrange some people to go to Green Street and gradually take over that place. Arrange people who are good at English to go there. Don't go there and get scolded by others. You won't even understand when they discuss killing you in front of you!"

Rong Jiacai nodded, then handed over a newspaper:
"Brother Wei, I'll arrange it right away. This is for you!"

"What?" Chen Zhengwei took the newspaper back to the office, sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, and read it with interest.

"Uncle Wei, what's in the newspaper?" Wan Yun hugged Chen Zhengwei's arm and asked curiously.

"Gang bloodshed grips the streets of North Beach..."

"A few days ago, many gang members were shot dead on the streets of North Beach..."

"Is it so chaotic? Beitan is not far away, right?" Wanyun asked.

"That's right! Why is the security in San Francisco so bad? It's so damn dangerous! You might get shot when you go out one day!" Chen Zhengwei said with a click of his tongue.

"No wonder the San Francisco Investigation Bureau is so busy every day..."

The news was about a series of recent shootings on the streets, in restaurants, and in bars in North Beach.

But at the end, there is a sentence: "It is reported that there are Chinese people behind the chaotic vendetta of the North Beach gang!"

"Damn, where is this reporter from? Reporters from all times are all the same, they only know how to attract attention!" Chen Zhengwei sneered.

But he was too lazy to care about such a small matter.

In fact, San Francisco newspapers often report news of gang feuds, and the gangs don't care. After all, this is a good opportunity to increase their visibility.

And because others are afraid of them, it is easier for them to do unconventional business.

Chen Zhengwei actually wanted to buy two newspapers because he knew the importance of a mouthpiece.

San Francisco does not allow Chinese to purchase newspapers, but this is easy to circumvent by letting someone else hold the shares on your behalf.

But what’s more important is that during this period, newspapers were usually used as political tools and as bargaining chips in political transactions. You couldn’t buy them just because you wanted to.

Chen Zhengwei thought that this matter might have to go through Henry Brown and the Republican Party.

But there is a way to solve everything in this world, so we should be flexible.

Buying newspapers is troublesome, but it is easy to deal with a few reporters and editors.

Chen Zhengwei picked up the newspaper in front of him and took a look. It was the San Francisco Chronicle, one of the most influential newspapers in San Francisco.

After staying in the casino until about four o'clock, Chen Zhengwei went downstairs and said to Rong Jiacai, "Ask Greater Poland to send someone to check on the editors and reporters of the San Francisco Chronicle. I want to meet them."

It would be more convenient to send someone from Greater Poland to get information like this.

……

At the bank, Anna was taking the time to quickly fiddle with her hair in front of the mirror and reapply her lipstick.

"You look so beautiful!" a teller next to her laughed.

"Love makes her like a rose..." another person also laughed.

Anna smiled at the others, then picked up her coat and left the bank quickly, just in time for get off work.

The others looked at each other, and then a woman spoke up: "That Chinese guy seems to be a member of a Chinese gang. A lot of things have happened in North Beach recently that are related to Chinese gangs, and many people have died."

"Really?" Someone immediately became curious.

"Yes, not far from where I live, several people were shot to death. It is said that the murderer is Chinese! And it was also written in the newspaper!" said another woman.

Then several people whispered together and asked each other.

Anna walked out of the bank quickly and saw a carriage parked outside. A young Chinese man stood next to the carriage and opened the door.

As soon as Anna got on the carriage, she hugged Chen Zhengwei's neck and gave him a deep kiss. Then she looked him up and down, and then said in surprise: "You are actually a Christian!"

"Of course, I'm a devout Christian!" Chen Zhengwei laughed.

Because of his piety, God would always forgive what he did, or simply choose to turn a blind eye.

"Very beautiful! May I know what sect you belong to?"

"Protestantism!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

"That's great, my parents are both Protestants!" Anna breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want the religion to affect their relationship.

Anna's eyes moved around, like a lake, with a smile on her face, she kept staring at Chen Zhengwei.

"You seem to be in a good mood today!" "I solved a small problem today!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile.

Anna did not ask any further questions. When she passed by the Sea Bass Restaurant a few days ago, she found that most of the restaurant was burned down, so she asked about it.

It is said that there were dead people at the scene, but the police said they were burned to death.

She didn't delve into it further. In fact, she had already guessed Chen Zhengwei's identity.

But that doesn’t matter, Chen Zhengwei has a fatal attraction to girls like her.

"Where are we going today?" Anna asked with a smile.

"How about German food?" Chen Zhengwei asked casually.

"That sounds great!" Anna said excitedly.

After a while, the carriage stopped at a German restaurant. After Chen Zhengwei and Anna went in, several thugs stood at the door, looking around with unfriendly expressions.

Soon Schultz also arranged for a few of his men to come over.

Now, even if people want to come to the restaurant to eat, they can only curse inwardly and leave far away and go to other restaurants.

Inside the restaurant, the table in front of the two was almost full.

Anna tasted the food with great interest while looking around: "I think the food here tastes great, why is it so deserted?"

"There is no one except us."

"Business here is indeed not very good!" Chen Zhengwei agreed.

"But it's better this way, at least there are no unfriendly people!" Anna was quickly relieved. She still remembered what happened when she went to the Bass Restaurant.

"What did your family say when you went back last time?" Chen Zhengwei asked casually.

"Forget it, let's not talk about this!" Anna waved her hand, obviously not happy about it.

After all, for a religious family, not coming home the night before the wedding is a big deal.

When the two left the restaurant, the restaurant owner breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, there were more Chinese people in groups of three or five on the streets. Although there were not many, they were very eye-catching.

"Brother Wei!" Many people greeted Chen Zhengwei when they saw him.

"Go about your business!" Chen Zhengwei nodded slightly, then got on the carriage and left.

Even though Anna didn't know North Beach well, she could sense that there seemed to be some subtle changes here.

"Qing Chong, get out of here!" In a bar far away, a big man pushed a man out of the door, looked around, and cursed: "Have Qing Chong invaded here?"

The street was quiet for a moment, and not far away some Chinese youths in gentleman's suits walked over with cold and fierce looks on their faces.

Several of Schultz's men saw this, shrugged their shoulders and followed.

A moment later, several gunshots were heard in the bar, and then a dozen Chinese dragged the big man out of the bar and threw him into the middle of the road. They then fired at his body with guns, and the street was filled with smoke.

After a while, a young man spat at the corpse, and everyone left as if nothing had happened.

When the owners of the surrounding shops saw this scene, they all felt a deep chill.

They all felt the changes in the streets tonight.

……

Chen Zhengwei entered the room and picked up Anna.

Anna kissed Chen Zhengwei on the face and tried to push him away: "I remember you wanted to learn English!"

"You'll learn faster this way!" Chen Zhengwei said with a smile, then threw Anna onto the bed.

He was in a very good mood today, otherwise he would have wanted to go back to find Lin Changning in the evening. After all, after moving, they were the only two living in the main building, so this was finally a chance.

But after thinking about it, the big wave is more important.

After a while, equipment started to explode in the room, and there were some other sounds, like a cat's meow, which made people feel itchy.

...the dividing line of 30,000 words...

"How about I put a piano here? You can play it for me next time!" Chen Zhengwei hugged Anna, his hands wandering around in a dishonest manner.

"Thank you!" Anna turned her head and kissed Chen Zhengwei on the face, feeling a little surprised.

Chen Zhengwei felt that it was a little too early for her to surprise him, and it might be more interesting for her to do other activities while playing the piano.
