Chapter 259 A visitor from Hongmen, the future Hongmen boss
After returning to the hotel, Li Qiwei was about to take a rest and plan his next trip.
At this time, Li San suddenly came outside his room and said that he had something important to report.
So Li Qiwei let him in.
Then, Li San explained in detail that Liu Liangzhong from Anliangtang came to see him.
It turned out that when Li Qiwei was giving a speech at Princeton University in the morning, Li San was patrolling and guarding outside the auditorium, always paying attention to what was going on inside and outside.
After Liu Liangzhong inquired about Li Qiwei’s itinerary, he came to Princeton University in casual clothes.
There were so many people at that time that no one paid attention to a Chinese.
So, Liu Liangzhong successfully connected with Li San.
Li Sangang was quite wary of him at first.
But Liu Liangzhong knew the domestic affairs very well, and he highly praised Li San's master, the sharpshooter Li Shuwen.
As soon as they went back and forth, the two began to call themselves brothers.
After Li San found out that Liu Liangzhong was a member of the Hongmen, he was immediately in awe and clasped his hands to express his admiration.
He followed Li Qiwei, so he was naturally very aware of major domestic events.
I know that many of the revolutionary activities that are now in full swing in China are funded by overseas Chinese and Hongmen.
Hongmen are different from ordinary gangsters. They value loyalty and care about the country.
Li San also told Liu Liangzhong some of his domestic revolutionary experiences, which made the latter sigh.
As a result, the two chatted happily, and they seemed to regret meeting each other so late.
However, when Liu Liangzhong asked to see Li Qiwei, Li San was a little embarrassed and said that he would make a reply after reporting.
Liu Liangzhong still thanked him with a smile, said he understood, and said he was waiting for news in Princeton.
Li San informed the matter immediately after Li Qiwei returned from his speech.
After understanding the cause and effect, Li Qiwei instantly became interested.
The famous Hongmen, it was an awesome existence in countless urban novels in later generations.
The predecessor of Hongmen was the Tiandihui who fought against the Qing Dynasty and restored the Ming Dynasty.
After a series of changes, Hongmen today is more like a collective name for a Chinese gang.
As long as it is a gang established by Chinese, whether it is domestic or overseas, it can almost be related to Hongmen.
As for the Hongmen branch in America, it is recorded that there are dozens of halls, the most famous of which is the Zhigong Hall in the United States.
Huang Sande, the leader of the Zhi Gong Tang, is also respected by all the churches in America as the "general leader" of Hongmen in America.
In 1904, it was through the introduction of Huang Sande that the boss of Anliangtang, a branch of Zhigongtang, met Mr. Sun and followed him throughout his life.
Of course, Li Qiwei still doesn’t know the origin of Liu Liangzhong.
"Third brother, did Liu Liangzhong tell me why he came to see me?"
Li San said: "Looking at him, it doesn't look like he's talking about something big, it's more like he's here for a simple visit."< br>
"He said that he was ordered by the boss of Anliangtang to come to communicate with you, young master, and express Hongmen's goodwill to you."
"For specific matters, I need to meet with you. Let’s talk.”
Li Qiwei smiled and said, “Oh, it’s Mr. Situ.”
Now, he has made up his mind to meet Liu Liangzhong.
Hongmen’s power will be very helpful for his future layout in the United States. Maybe this is a good opportunity to get in touch.
As his business territory in the United States expands in the future, he will inevitably attract some flies and even tigers.
Chinese people with no background and huge wealth overseas are simply a piece of human fat.
Li Qiwei thought to himself that with the reputation of a great scientist, he might be able to hold on to one million US dollars or ten million US dollars.
But what if his wealth swells to a billion dollars, or even tens of billions of dollars.
I'm afraid this identity is not good enough, it requires real strength.
Before he can no longer dominate the world, he must be able to protect his wealth.
At present, Hongmen may be a good choice.
The political system of the United States determines that it is still a bit difficult to openly seize things from Hongmen.
Moreover, from a historical perspective, there is no doubt about the reputation of Zhi Gong Tang and the reputation of Mr. Situ.
After all, he is a big man who can climb the city gate and tower, and he has a broad mind.
The most important thing is that he and Hongmen have the same goal, both for China.
So, Li Qiwei said to Li San: "I am very interested in Hongmen. You can go find this Liu Liangzhong now and I will talk to him."
After hearing this, Li San Overjoyed.
At first, he was worried that his young master was a scientist and a man of culture, so he would look down on Hongmen who had a gangster nature.
In that case, it would be difficult for him to speak to Liu Liangzhong.
Although the time together was short, Li San and Liu Liangzhong have become close friends.
Now everyone is happy. The young master is not only not disgusted with Hongmen, he is even very interested in it.
So Li San asked the driver to drive and soon found Liu Liangzhong waiting at the hotel.
When Li San informed Li Qiwei of his attitude, Liu Liangzhong was overjoyed. He quickly cleaned up and rushed back with Li San.
Half an hour later, Liu Liangzhong, who was tired of traveling, saw Li Qiwei and looked excited. He immediately stepped forward and said respectfully:
"I would like to pay my respects to Liu Liangzhong, the paper fan of Anliang Hall under Hongmen Zhigong Hall. Mr. Li."
After saying that, Liu Liangzhong clasped his fists and bent down. He had a martial arts atmosphere and a cultured temperament, which greatly increased Li Qiwei's favor.
Li Qiwei smiled and stepped forward, helped him up and said, "Brother Liu, I am not a member of the martial arts world, and I don't know your etiquette."
"Today when we meet old friends overseas, let's treat them as friends of the same generation."
Liu Liangzhong quickly said how dare you, how dare you, Li Qiwei is a figure respected by all the big guys, how dare he overstep his bounds.
Li Qiwei couldn't defeat the other party, so he had to give up, and the two of them did their own thing.
After the greetings, Li Qiwei smiled and said: "Brother Liu, you called yourself a paper fan just now."
"I heard that there are three levels in Hongmen: Hong stick, paper fan and straw sandals."< br>
"I wonder if Brother Liu can explain it to me and open my eyes."
Liu Liangzhong was filled with emotions at this moment. He had already collected relevant information about Li Qiwei before coming to Princeton.
You won’t know if you don’t check it, but you will be shocked if you check it.
The other party’s status in the country alone, as Imperial Master of the Qing Dynasty and Right Assistant Minister of the Academy, was already at the level of a big shot.
Not to mention the other party's identity as a great scientist.
This time, Liu Liangzhong was among the crowd observing the welcoming scene, which really shocked him.
The governor of the state of New Jersey in the United States actually greeted Li Qiwei personally in advance and treated him with respect, as if he were a distinguished guest.
When will Hongmen get this kind of treatment?
If Li Qiwei knew what Liu Liangzhong was thinking, he would definitely joke: There is a super big shot hidden in your Anliang Hall now, but he hasn't grown up yet.
The more approachable Li Qiwei becomes, the more cautious Liu Liangzhong becomes.
According to common sense, Liu Liangzhong would never be able to come into contact with such a big shot in his lifetime, let alone sit together and talk like friends.
So, he cherished this special opportunity very much.
So, he organized his words and said: "Mr. Li, this is it."
"Honggun is another name for the marshal, which is the so-called big brother. Within Hongmen, it is the big brother. "Lao-level figure."
"Hong Gun's duty in Hongmen is to be in charge of discipline."
"In 1904, Mr. Sun came to the United States and joined Hongmen, which greatly excited our Hongmen leaders and members." "Thanks to Mr. Sun's fame and status, Hongmen directly awarded him the 'Honggun' ”
“Therefore, Mr. Sun is also called the eldest brother of Hongmen.”
“The paper fan refers to a master like me. Tangkou makes suggestions to solve some systemic problems."
"As for the straw sandals, they are just running errands."
"Of course, Hongmen is divided into leading, inner and outer halls, and eight outer halls, but that's more complicated."
"If Mr. Li is interested, I can tell you. ”
Liu Liangzhong knew that Li Qiwei’s time was precious, so naturally he would not say everything at once, which seemed very rude.
As a paper fan, his ability to observe words and emotions is first-rate.
After listening to this, Li Qiwei was very satisfied.
Unexpectedly, he, a good student of later generations, would have the opportunity to meet the legendary Hongmen.
Then, Li Qiwei asked for information about An Liangtang and the big boss, and Liu Liangzhong answered them one by one.
“Brother Liu, it seems that you are also a minister of Hongmen, otherwise you guys wouldn’t have sent you here.”
Faced with Li Qiwei’s compliment, Liu Liangzhong was flattered , and then said: "I am here this time to bring the goodwill of the boss."
"You know, due to the special nature of our Hongmen, the boss is worried that Mr. Li, you may not be willing to communicate with us Contact.”
"That's why he sent me here, so as not to disturb you."
Li Qiwei was very emotional. He was embarrassed to be too conceited because his attitude was so low.
“Brother Liu’s words are wrong. We overseas Chinese have braved the waves and traveled thousands of miles to make a living in a foreign country.”
“We rely on unity.”
"Hongmen takes righteousness as its way, adheres to loyalty, and provides support for countless overseas Chinese. It is worthy of everyone's admiration."
Liu Liangzhong was extremely moved by the awe-inspiring righteousness Li Qiwei said.
He did not expect that the big man in front of him would have such a high opinion of Hongmen.
For a moment, I was moved to tears.
Li Qiwei suddenly complained in his heart: Hey, brother, the Hongmen paper fan is so powerful, you acted a bit too much.
Liu Liangzhong said: "Mr. Li, your words really touched me deeply. I will definitely tell the boss."
"I came here this time to protect your safety under the order of the boss."
"I chatted with Brother Li before, and I know that Mr. Li, when you come to the United States this time, only Brother Li will protect you." "
As he spoke, Liu Liangzhong gestured to Li San behind Li Qiwei.
“I think this is not enough.”
“It’s so chaotic here in the United States, everyone has a gun.”
"The boss is very worried about your safety, so I asked me to gather my Anliang cousins in New Jersey to protect you secretly."
"Don't worry, we will never affect your normal activities and rest. "
"In addition, the boss hopes that if you have a chance, Mr. Li, he would like to come and visit you."
After hearing this, Li Qiwei felt incredible. This boss Situ is a little too kind to him. .
He is a bodyguard and a visitor, and he is extremely polite.
Although I am awesome, I can't influence others. There is no need for others to treat me like this.
And Mr. Situ is also planning to pay a visit in person.
If Li Qiwei hadn't known about Hongmen, he would have doubted whether there was a fraud.
The U.S. government bribed Hongmen and prepared five hundred swordsmen.
“Brother Liu, let me ask.”
"Your boss and I have never met. Why did he treat me like this? I feel so ashamed."
Liu Liangzhong said quickly: "Mr. Li, please don't say that."
“You are knowledgeable and knowledgeable, and you overpower those big-nosed people in Europe and America in the scientific fields they are best at.”
“This gives us Chinese people all over the world great prestige.”
“Although we in Hongmen are all poor people who have fled overseas, we still care about the motherland.”
"The big boss has been funding the domestic revolutionary cause and has formed a deep friendship with Mr. Sun."
"He told me personally that there are many people in the country who can fight, but only those who can engage in education Mr. Li, you are the only one."
"With Mr. Sun in the military, Mr. Li in the civil service, only the combination of civil and military forces can make China stronger."
After hearing Liu Liangzhong's words, Li Qiwei was so excited. It's even sweeter than honey.
He could feel that the other party was telling the truth.
His achievements can be recognized and supported by his compatriots, which is much more satisfying than pretending to be in front of Europeans and Americans.
This also made him have unlimited expectations for Mr. Situ, whom he had not yet met.
The other party is indeed a great figure who will go down in history. His vision and courage are beyond the comparison of ordinary people.
The key is that he is very generous and likes to make friends with heroes from all walks of life.
Li Qiwei suspected that if he joined Hongmen, he might become the only scientist in the history of Hongmen.
Moreover, this Liu Liangzhong behaves well and is eloquent. No wonder he can gain the trust of the boss, and he will definitely be a figure in the future.
Li Qiwei raised his voice and said proudly: "Brother Liu, go back and tell the boss."
"I will go to New York to attend a meeting on November 15th."
< br>“After the meeting, I will go to the headquarters of Anliangtang in person to meet with the boss.”
“Thank you for everything he has done for me.”
"When the time comes, let's have wine and talk together."
Liu Liangzhong was overjoyed when he heard this. He didn't expect that Li Qiwei valued love and justice so much.
And there is no prejudice against these so-called gang members.
He clearly has a high status, but he does not interact with him based on his status. He can still talk and laugh with a paper fan like himself.
He is obviously a great master of Western learning, a scholar among scholars, but he is willing to communicate with a dabbler like himself.
Liu Liangzhong thought to himself, this is the so-called personality charm.
Mr. Li, like the big guys, has his own unique aura.
As soon as ordinary people come into contact with them, they will be assimilated by their aura and follow the rhythm of these big guys.
After the visit, Li Qiwei asked Li San to see off Liu Liangzhong.
The two agreed downstairs to get drunk on the day they went to New York.
Li Qiwei was alone in the room, thinking about how to cooperate with Mr. Situ.
Let him protect his wealth in the United States in the name of Hongmen.
Suddenly, he had a sudden thought, Mr. Situ would not let Hongmen give him a "Honggu" title.
That would be great fun.
Perhaps in the distant future, Li Qiwei would like to visit Hong Kong Island.
By then, based on his status in Hongmen, he will probably be at the level of the Patriarch.
