The Cold War: Jumping back and forth between the two camps

That night, Dunn took Zhang Dezhong back to New York by plane.

After returning to New York, Zhang Dezhong immediately reported Dunn's request for a meeting to the gang leader.

On the afternoon of the second day, the two sides met in a Chinese hotel.

"Do you know this Zhou Xiande?"

Before the meeting, Dunn asked Zhang Dezhong about the situation of the head of the Xingyi Gang, the Chinese gang they were going to meet.

"I don't know much about it!"

Zhang Dezhong shook his head helplessly.

"My position in the Xingyi Gang is too low, and I don't have any chance to directly contact Mr. Zhou!

Most of the time, I could only see him from afar during gang meetings.

It’s just that when I joined the CIA, he met with me and told me to have a good relationship with you!”

In fact, Dunn already knew a lot about the Chinese gang leader through Brookski, but that was only information on paper after all, and Dunn wanted to ask the opinions of people who had contact with Zhou Xiande.

However, it is obvious that Zhang Dezhong does not know the boss of the gang he has been serving.

In fact, Dunn was also extremely wary of gangs running this business.

Especially in the United States, most of the Chinese gangs are basically pro-island government.

Due to the negative propaganda against redism by the United States or the entire Western society.

Ordinary people, including immigrant Chinese, generally have no favorable impression of the redist mainland.

However, according to Dunn's indirect understanding, he knew that the Xinyi Gang actually had no particular stance on the two sides of the Taiwan Strait and basically remained neutral.

Of course, this is also related to the fact that the Xingyi Gang is not very large.

The Saller family, to which Victor belongs, has footprints all over the United States, although their main activity city is New York.

However, when the location of their smuggling transactions changed to San Francisco, the Salio family was also able to quickly organize people in San Francisco to take over the smuggling business.

The Xingyi Gang cannot compare with this in this regard, as they are basically a local gang in New York.

Although the scope of activities may radiate to several satellite cities around New York and parts of New Jersey, it is limited to this.

And in all cities, it is basically limited to Chinatown.

There is no way around this as the status of Chinese people in the United States is already relatively low.

And they are not united internally.

There is not just one Chinese gang in Chinatown, it's just that the Xingyi Gang in the New York area is larger.

Under the leadership of Zhang Dezhong, Dunn walked into the headquarters of the new gang, a Chinese-style hotel called Fujuyuan.

Seeing the Chinatown in New York with its tall buildings, Dunn felt like he had traveled back to China.

Especially the Fujuyuan Hotel, which basically adopts Chinese-style structural architecture.

Dunn felt even more at home.

It was obvious that the hotel was not open to the public today and there was not a single guest inside.

Immediately after entering the hotel, two Chinese men in suits led them to a private room on the second floor of the hotel.

A middle-aged man in a suit was already sitting in the private room. When he saw Dunn and Zhang Dezhong come in, he immediately stood up enthusiastically.

"Mr. Du? I've heard a lot about you!"

As he spoke, he extended his right hand and shook hands with Dunn.

He looked at Zhang Dezhong standing beside him, patted Zhang Dezhong on the shoulder affectionately, and said nothing more.

Zhou Xiande actually had no impression of Zhang Dezhong, if Zhang Dezhong had not later reported that he was recruited by the CIA.

Zhou Xiande would never notice this young man.

However, because Zhang Dezhong has established a relationship with Dunn, he must also pay attention to the current Zhang Dezhong.

It is not easy for Chinese gangs to survive in the social environment of the United States. Having an intelligence officer with a government background makes life much easier for the Xingyi Gang.

So no matter what, Zhou Xiande has to pay attention to Zhang Dezhong now.

After sitting down with Dunn.

Zhou Xiande received Dunn warmly.

"Mr. Du, can you accept Chinese food? I have prepared two plans today. If you can eat Chinese food, then we will try authentic Chinese food today. If you can't eat Chinese food, I have also invited a French chef!"

"Mr. Zhou! Don't worry about the meal. I think Clay should have talked to you about it! I'm here to discuss business today. It won't be too late to have dinner after we've finished the business!"

Having said this, he smiled slightly, and then seemed to remember something.

"By the way, just ask the kitchen in the back to prepare Chinese food. I want to eat authentic Chinese food, not those modified Chinese food!"

With the second half of Dunn's words, Zhou Xiande roughly judged that Dunn was not here to cause trouble.

To be honest, he didn't know whether he should take the business offered by the CIA.

However, after he agreed to Zhang Dezhong joining the CIA, he should have thought of this day.

After all, it is impossible for the other party to include people from their gang into the Zhongqing Bureau without any reason.

"Okay! Dezhong, go to the kitchen and tell them to make Chinese food first!"

Zhou Xiande looked at Zhang Dezhong who was standing behind Dunn and gave instructions.

Although Zhang Dezhong is now Dunn's man, he is still essentially a member of the Xingyi Gang.

Zhang Dezhong nodded, knowing that Zhou Xiande was trying to get him out of the way, so he slowly left the private room.

"I really didn't expect that Mr. Du could actually eat authentic Chinese food! To be honest, usually only Chinese people would ask for this when they come to our hotel!"

When Chinese food entered the U.S. market, it made many improvements to suit local tastes.

It is roughly similar to how KFC and McDonald's later entered the Chinese market and launched fried dough sticks and soy milk sets.

When catering companies enter foreign markets, they must improve their cuisine to suit local tastes.

Dunn did not answer this question directly. When Zhang Dezhong joined the CIA, he also strictly ordered Zhang Dezhong not to reveal his identity to the gang members.

Unlike Victor's father who knew his identity since childhood, Zhang Dezhong also grew up in Enpai Port. Chinese gang members in the New York area could not recognize Dunn, who grew up with Zhang Dezhong.

Although they would be able to find out Dunn's identity with a little investigation, what if Dunn knew about their investigation?

They also have to face Dunn's wrath, so at least during this period, the Xingyi Gang should not cause any trouble.

"Mr. Zhou, you don't need to test me. I'm working in East Asia now, so of course I can accept Chinese food!

But that’s not important, let’s talk about business!”

Although Dunn has a Chinese soul in his body, when he talks about things, he actually does not have any Chinese characteristics. He does not want to go through so much trouble to discuss business.

After all, Dunn's soul comes from the afterlife, and what matters is efficiency, not blindly making friends.

"Haha! Mr. Du! I wonder what kind of business you want to do with us?"

Zhou Xiande didn't know much about what Zhang Dezhong was doing now, and the Bixingyi Gang's tentacles couldn't access CIA intelligence.

Therefore, he had no idea why Dunn came to see him today.

Dunn took out the equipment list from his pocket and pushed it in front of Zhou Xiande.

"I would like to ask Mr. Zhou to purchase the equipment on this list for me and then hand it over to the designated person. Mr. Zhou will definitely not be short of funds when the time comes!"

Zhou Xiande took the list from Dunn, glanced at it, and immediately showed a surprised expression.

Although Zhou Xiande was involved in gangs, his academic qualifications were actually not low, and he majored in mechanical engineering.

However, after graduation, he couldn't find a suitable job in the United States, so he had no choice but to choose to join the gang.

It is really not easy for Chinese people to find a suitable job in the United States, unless they can be as top-notch as Professor Qian on the West Coast.

So Zhou Xingde was familiar with all the equipment on the list.

"Mr. Du, it seems that the machines here are all used for military purposes, right?"

Now in Zhou Xiande's mind, Dunn is already a person with bad intentions. If this business can be done well, the Xingyi Gang can really make a lot of money.

But the problem is that the equipment used to make military products, if they are investigated and found to be reselling, it would undoubtedly be a disaster for sex in general, and their small gang really cannot withstand such great pressure.

"That's right! Believe me, Mr. Zhou, you know that some of the things the isolated island government did at the beginning made our commander-in-chief very unhappy!

This has reduced economic assistance to the island government, so now the island government is struggling to survive.

It just so happens that I am now in charge of discussing with some senior officials of the isolated island governments in East Asia about opening some factories on the isolated islands and need to purchase some cheap second-hand equipment to reduce costs, so I turned my attention to these equipment that have been eliminated in the country.

But you know, if these devices are exported directly, there will definitely be a lot of inconvenience, so we need Mr. Zhou to cooperate!"

After listening to Dunn's story, Zhou Xiande did not feel relaxed at all.

To be honest, he really didn't want to get involved in this mess, even if he didn't make any money.

But in front of Dunn, Zhou Xiande didn't want to refuse directly, so as not to cause Dunn's displeasure. After all, offending a CIA agent is not a good thing.

Dunn looked at Zhou Xiande's expression and knew that he was having a psychological struggle.

However, Dunn was not in a hurry. He waited patiently for the forced melon to be sweet. If he forced the other party to buy these equipment for him, the other party would definitely not dare to refuse.

But the problem is that once the other party has some inappropriate thoughts, it will cause a lot of trouble in this matter and may very likely implicate yourself.

So Dunn was patiently waiting for Zhou Xiande's decision. Dunn also had a backup plan, but in comparison, it would be more appropriate to let Zhou Xinde do this.
