Chapter 241 [Pushing the nose on the face](1/2)
Chapter 241 [Playing to the face]
Facing everyone's surprise appearance, Li Yi had a relaxed expression on his face, and did not feel how shocking his words were. It seemed that he had already thought of this decision.
Looking at Li Yi's relaxed expression, Hong Qingyun's expression became very gloomy. Her hands were clenched into fists without realizing it, and the muscles at the corners of her eyes trembled even more wildly!
Since Li Yi arrived at the Hongmen Martial Arts Hall, Hong Qingyun has been asking Li Yi in disguise, with the purpose of making Li Yi stand by his side when voting.
However, what he never dreamed of was that Li Yi did not stand on his side and said, nor did he choose to abstain from power, but blatantly said that he wanted to be an elder!
Li Yi's actions seemed to give Hong Qingyun a slap, making Hong Qingyun feel like he was holding a hot face to put on his cold butt, and in the end the other party seemed unwilling to put it on...
In fact, no one expected Li Yi to say this, even Zhang Dekun was no exception.
However... Zhang Dekun, who was so sophisticated, did not show an angry or confused expression, but looked at Li Yi meaningfully, his eyes kept turning, and he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Peeling and looking in the mirror, see what you are?" An extremely angry voice suddenly sounded in the originally quiet conference room. The owner of the voice was Luo Lie. While speaking, Luo Lie clenched his fists and stood up from the seat "swish", staring at Li Yi angrily, his eyes wishing to tear Li Yi into pieces!
Obviously, Luo Lie was the most annoyed at this moment!
Even, he was even more annoyed than Hong Qingyun!
If... if Li Yi raised his right hand gently, then he would become the new elder of the Chinese Gang.
But that was just if. Li Yi's choice made him fall from heaven to hell, and the sudden blow made him unable to accept it for a while.
Like Luo Lie, Fan Wei is also angry.
As soon as Luo Lie said this, he immediately stood up and sneered: "That's it! What are you?"
"Are you qualified to be an elder?"
"Why do you want to be an elder?"
...
For a time, Li Yi became the target of attack in the conference room. Except for Hong Qingyun and a few elders, others scolded Li Yi one after another.
"Boy, when I was in the Chinese gang, you were still playing with mud at home! You just want to be an elder?" At this time, the irritable Liu Jinbo also spoke, his tone was quite unkind.
As the only neutral person in the Presbyterian Church, he chose to stand on Zhang Dekun's side but didn't want Hong Qingyun to cover up the sky with one hand. However, Li Yi took the initiative to propose to be an elder, which made him angry!
In his opinion, Li Yi is just a young boy. He has just joined the gang for a year, so how can he be qualified to be an elder?
Compared to Liu Jinbo's angry expression, Hong Qingyun had calmed down a lot at this time. His angry expression had disappeared from his face without a trace. He squinted his eyes and stared at Li Yi, not knowing what he was planning.
At this time, Zhang Dekun had already closed his eyes and leaned on the chair casually, as if he was not concerned about his own affairs.
As for the other two elders, they didn't speak casually. First, they didn't understand Hong Qingyun's meaning now. Moreover, during the last trip to Los Angeles, Li Yi left an indelible impression on them. If possible, they didn't want to offend Li Yi again.
For a moment, the originally quiet conference room was very lively, like the vegetable market in the town. However, the vendors selling vegetables in the vegetable market were grinding their mouths for the sake of life, and these people were just for the sake of profit!
Li Yi did not stop these people from speaking badly, and his expression did not change at all, and it was still so relaxed.
Even... he took out a box of authentic Cuban cigars from his pocket that was hard to buy, lit them, leaned on the chair, sucked them comfortably, with a cold look on his side, not realizing that the current scene was entirely caused by him, to be precise, he did not have that consciousness...
Two minutes later, the voices of cursing were gradually less and less.
Although the big bosses in those regions were very dissatisfied with Li Yi's arrogant actions, after they saw that neither Hong Qingyun nor Zhang Dekun expressed their opinions, they realized that even if they broke the sky, they could not decide anything. The key lies in Hong Qingyun and Zhang Dekun.
Whether it is Hong Qingyun or Zhang Dekun, as long as one of them agrees that Li Yi is the elder, then the elder Li Yi will be determined!
Seeing everyone turning their eyes to the two of them, Li Yi slowly spit out a smoke ring, then looked at Hong Qingyun with a smile and said, "Uncle Hong, I think I am quite suitable to be an elder! What do you think?"
Li Yi's words made Hong Qingyun's originally calm eyes appear with a gloomy gaze, but he did not speak, but a faint smile appeared on the corner of Zhang Dekun's mouth.
Yu Guang saw the smile on the corner of Zhang Dekun's mouth, Hong Qingyun suddenly narrowed his eyes and wanted to say something, but he heard Li Yi continue: "In terms of ability, I uprooted the African Gang and Yamaguchi Group in Los Angeles, making the Chinese Gang the most powerful gang in California except the Mafia Committee, and monopolized the smuggling business in the entire Los Angeles! In terms of relationship network, the Los Angeles police have now reached a private agreement with me. As long as my people do not rush to the police station with guns to cause trouble, they will never attack my people!"
Speaking of this, Li Yi casually glanced at everyone and said coldly: "In terms of ability, how dare the big guys here come forward and say they are better than me?"
Arrogant!
At this moment, this word came to almost everyone's mind!
At this time, Li Yi was holding a cigar in his hand, with a confident and arrogant expression, and naturally a sense of momentum that guided the country!
However... although everyone can't stand Li Yi's arrogant behavior, they have to admit that Li Yi does have arrogance now!
After hearing Li Yi's words, Hong Qingyun, who was originally planning to say something, immediately closed his mouth, as if thinking about what to do next.
"Damn it! Since you are so capable, why are you still lazy to do with the Chinese help?" This time, Liu Jinbo broke the silence. He was the only person in the field without any worries. He didn't have to look at the faces of Hong Qingyun and Zhang Dekun.
"that is!"
The regional bosses were very angry, but because Hong Qingyun and Zhang Dekun did not express their opinions, they immediately agreed when they heard Liu Jinbo speak. Obviously, they were extremely unbalanced. As regional bosses, they were like the difference between beggars and emperors on the streets.
Li Yi ignored the regional bosses and Liu Jinbo, but looked straight at Hong Qingyun and asked lightly: "Uncle Hong, have you thought about it?"
Looking at Li Yi's deep eyes and the expression that was determined, Hong Qingyun felt very uncomfortable!
Since becoming the leader of the Chinese gang, he has never been as embarrassed as he is today!
Li Yi's frivolous tone seemed not to ask him, but to threaten him!
Yes, yes, it's a threat!
Others may not be able to see the meaning in Li Yi's eyes, but Hong Qingyun understood: Hong Qingyun, if you don't agree to me, I will vote for Zhang Dekun!
After two seconds, just two seconds, Hong Qingyun's face could no longer be found with anger, and even a bright smile appeared on his face: "Xiao Yi, sorry, I forgot you. Speaking of ability, you are indeed the strongest among all regional bosses. The results prove everything, there is nothing to refute this."
Speaking of this, Hong Qingyun glanced at his people, as if he was giving some orders to those people. Then, he smiled and said, "As far as Xiaoyi said, although he has a little experience, he has no say in his ability! Moreover, Xiaoyi has now monopolized the smuggling business in Los Angeles and found a way to make a fortune for the brothers in the gang. This contribution is great! My personal opinion is that if Xiaoyi distributes more profits to brothers in other regions every year, then I agree with Xiaoyi's position to replace Lao Zhu!"
It was indeed an old fox. Knowing that he could not refuse me, he temporarily had the idea of extortion.
When Li Yi heard Hong Qingyun's words, he sighed in his heart, and at the same time he knew that although Hong Qingyun was blatantly extorting, he was also giving him a step in a sense.
After all... to be an elder, you need qualifications!
And Li Yi was really crazy before...
"Uncle Hong, I am here to express my opinion that I will spend 50 million US dollars to brothers from the headquarters and other regions every year in the future!" Various thoughts flashed in my mind, but Li Yi stood up and expressed his opinion as soon as Hong Qingyun spoke.
$50 million?!
Hearing this number, everyone present was shocked!
Not to mention being a big shot in other regions, even the entire Chinese gang earns less than 50 million US dollars a year!
Of course, the premise is that the Chinese gang in the Los Angeles area is not included.
It is no exaggeration to say that 50 million US dollars is a huge wealth for everyone, including Hong Qingyun, and an irresistible wealth!
At this moment, no one refuted Li Yi's words anymore, and even Liu Jinbo shut up.
50 million US dollars, this number is really shocking.
Although the Chinese Gang is not only responsible for the income from skin and protection fees, it also secretly does drug business, but the entire US market is almost monopolized by the Mafia Committee, and the Chinese Gang can only drink some soup, and the annual revenue of drug business is only a handful.
In order to drink some soup, the Chinese Gang was careful not to say anything when doing drug business, and often had friction with other gangsters. It can be said that they exchanged their lives for money. How could they sit at home and wait for the bigwigs of the smuggling group to confess like Li Yi?
In the conference room, some guys' eyes were red, and some guys even started to breathe heavily.
For them who are used to hard life, 50 million US dollars is undoubtedly an astronomical figure.
Li Yi was very satisfied with this scene.
Although the arms business with the Gambino family is not yet beneficial, the shares of Universal Pictures transferred by the Gambino family and the four casinos are money trees, and the income from smuggling is not bad. Furthermore, Li Yi can also advance some money with the Gambino family in advance. Although he has to pay some interest, the amount of interest is insignificant.
Of course, the most important thing is that Li Yi is placing a fog bomb!
He is not short of money now, but he will not foolishly take out 50 million to the guys at the headquarters. In his opinion, a year is enough for him to end this complicated chess game.
A year later, when he successfully took over the Chinese gang, he would naturally not feel distressed if he gave out 50 million US dollars.
"I agree." Hong Qingyun took the lead in raising his right hand and was the first to express his opinion.
"I agree too!"
...
Hong Qingyun's statement, the elders standing on his side and the two elders under him also expressed their views, all agreeing to Li Yi's position to replace Zhu Cheng.
Before Zhang Dekun's side raised his hand, Hong Qingyun and others let go. Obviously, the overall situation was decided. With seven votes on his side, Li Yi himself, Zhang Dekun's side had no effect. Even if Zhang Dekun's side collectively opposed it, it would be useless.
Faced with such a result, Li Yi did not show an arrogant expression like before. On the contrary, he restrained himself a lot and his expression became much calmer.
I used to show everyone's appearance, but now the result is as expected, and there is no big surprise.
The situation changed a bit too fast, beyond all expectations, and it was extremely appropriate to describe it as incredible.
However, Hong Qingyun was still very sleek. After making the decision, he returned to his previous appearance of being very kind to Li Yi. Not only did he say a lot of good things to Li Yi in front of everyone, he also presided over the ceremony for Li Yi himself.
After the ceremony, Hong Qingyun did not talk to Li Yi alone, nor did he mention the money to Li Yi, but allowed Li Yi to leave Chinatown.
After Li Yi left, Hong Qingyun also returned to his villa.
"Old man, do you think Li Yi will give that money?" After returning to the villa, Shi Tou found Hong Qingyun as soon as possible. Before, Hong Qingyun told him not to let him talk nonsense, so although he was very angry at Li Yi's arrogant behavior at that time, he didn't say anything.
Hong Qingyun did not answer Shi Tou's words, but asked back: "Shi Tou, what do you think?"
"I think that guy is mostly talking nonsense." Shi Tou replied truthfully.
Hearing Shi Tou's words, Hong Qingyun laughed instead: "That's right, he is indeed talking nonsense!"
"Old man, you..." Seeing the smile on Hong Qingyun's face, Shi Tou looked puzzled. It seemed that he did not expect Hong Qingyun to laugh at this time. In his opinion, Hong Qingyun should be angry. Li Yi not only spoke nonsense, but had threatened Hong Qingyun naked before.
