Chapter 54: The Black Way Conference (Part 2)
Looking at the seated crowd of seniors, Tang Feng also didn't speak, he just lit a cigarette and took a few deep puffs.
Tang Feng didn't say a word, and the big shots below couldn't sit still. They had no idea what Tang Feng wanted to do, each one tense and nervous. One of them was so anxious that his whole body shook, and he trembled as he took out a syringe from his pocket, rolled up his sleeve, and injected himself with drugs. It seemed this big shot was so scared that it triggered his addiction again.
These usually arrogant and overbearing big shots are now like obedient babies, Tang Feng secretly sneered.
"I suppose all of you have already guessed the purpose for which I invited you here. You must be feeling quite resentful, aren't you? Are you dissatisfied with XA's current situation? Do you feel uncomfortable being suppressed by Huaxing Society? Hehe, but have you ever thought about why things are this way?" Tang Feng saw that the timing was almost right, he knew he couldn't put any more pressure on these people, or it would backfire.
Those big brothers looked at me, I looked at them, no one said a word. Tang Feng smiled and continued: "The reason it's like this is because the XA underworld isn't united enough. The whole of XA is just a small place, but there are so many gangs in this small place. For survival, you chose this path, for profit, you scheme against each other, leading to constant infighting within the XA underground forces. It's precisely because of this that Huaxing Society can take advantage of the situation and enter. You say, is it right?"
Still not speaking, but those old men were very much in agreement with Tang Feng's words. For so many years, the XA underworld had indeed been plagued by internal strife, and was notorious nationwide for its chaos. However, there wasn't a single organization that could hold its own, and compared to the gangs in other big cities, they fell far short, like the difference between children and adults.
Suddenly, an old man shouted loudly: "Death God boss, if you have anything to say, just speak directly. We all know what you're saying. In recent years, the out-of-province gang has been eyeing SX covetously, while our XA underworld is not united enough."
He nodded and Tang Feng said, "Since everyone is not in a hurry, I will directly enter the topic. Today, I called everyone to inform you that from today on, XA gang will be unified, which means merged. Of course, you have the right to choose not to agree." Not using discussion but notification, it can be seen that Tang Feng has confidence in his dominance.
Although these old men had guessed Tang Feng's idea, when they heard him say it clearly at this time, they were also very unhappy in their hearts. Immediately, a fearless one slapped the table and stood up, saying: "Death God, I admit that your Huaxing Society is now dominant, and I also admit that everything you said before makes sense. But do you think you can just swallow us up like this? Sorry, I'm Crazy Dog, and I'm the first to disagree. We can't give our underground forces in XA to an outsider like you. If other bosses find out, they'll laugh at us for being incompetent."
He patted his palm and Tang Feng said, "You have backbone, what you said is right, XA's territory can't be given to outsiders, but I can tell you that I am an XA person, do you believe me? What Lao Da said is right, the external forces are eyeing XA covetously, do you think that with the current situation of XA's underworld, it can withstand the invasion of external forces? In the end, let those people live in your house, spend your money, sleep with your woman, are you satisfied?"
Tang Feng's words left Crazy Dog speechless, he could only sit down in anger, while the other bosses also whispered to each other.
"I agree!" A big man slapped the table and said. Looking at that person, it turned out to be Meng Ge, who was originally a high-ranking subordinate of Hu Lu. After Hu Lu's death, he became the new big man under the promotion of many younger brothers. Although his territory had shrunk, a dead camel is bigger than a horse, and among these big men, he was also one of the more powerful ones.
After Brother Meng finished speaking, the scene fell silent again. The surrounding big brothers looked at him one after another. Brother Meng glanced around and then spoke up: "I agree with Death God's proposal. To be honest, all of you big brothers have a number in your hearts. Our XA underworld is indeed too weak, not because we are worse than others, but because we are too disunited. How can we defend against others' attacks when we can't even finish fighting among ourselves? I don't know if Death God is an XA person or not, but think about it for yourselves: what's the difference between Huaxing Society's territory and your territories? For the sake of our brothers having a better future, I, Mengzi, am the first to agree."
Tang Feng nodded in agreement with Meng Ge, while the other bosses continued to discuss in hushed tones. In the end, more than half of the bosses present agreed to join the Huaxing Society. They also knew that after joining, they would no longer be able to do things as they had before, so many of them chose to step down. Tang Feng was naturally delighted with their decision, having been worried about finding an opportunity to strip them of their power. It seemed that smart people were indeed plentiful.
A small number of dissenting bosses also left the conference room safely, and Tang Feng did not stop them. It was time for Huaxing Society to show its strength again, on the one hand clearing away these obstacles, and on the other hand making those bosses who agreed to merge feel at ease.
Since they knew their place, Tang Feng naturally couldn't be petty and generously told the various bosses that as long as they were willing to step down, they could enter the Huaxing Society's Council of Elders. At the same time, not long after, the Huaxing Society would tally up all its existing assets to form a company, and these retired bosses would also receive corresponding shares as their retirement fund.
The meeting can be said to have ended perfectly, and overall, Tang Feng is very satisfied with the result. After letting them go back to prepare for the merger, Tang Feng kept Old Hu behind, he thinks this man is a hero, and should become a great general of Hua Xing Society!
"I don't agree with your resignation." Tang Feng said calmly to Meng Ge.
"Why?" Meng Ge asked.
"I hope you can help me, I'm not afraid to tell you that Huaxing Society was established too short a time ago, although on the surface it seems prosperous, but in fact there are many unstable factors inside, I need helpers like you." Tang Feng said with a smile.
Staring at Tang Feng's eyes for a long time, Brother Meng finally spoke up: "Aren't you afraid that I'll cause trouble in the Huaxing Society?"
Tang Feng shrugged and said indifferently, "There's a saying that goes 'doubtful people are not used, and those who are used are not doubted'. Although I've always thought this phrase is hypocritical, I don't think there's anyone in this world who can be completely trusted. But I still have to use it as an excuse, or rather, I'm taking a gamble."
After a moment of silence, Brother Meng looked up at Tang Yong and stretched out his hand: "I can't refuse you, because I still yearn for a passionate life, I don't want to retire so early."
In the next few days, the entire Huaxing Society was mobilized. A total of 8 big brothers agreed to merge. On the second day of the meeting, Tang Feng had Guan Zhiyong lead several Enforcement Hall brothers to count the assets under these big brothers' turf. Meanwhile, those dissenting gang leaders also suffered a crazy attack from Huaxing Society. With its own actions, Huaxing Society told everyone that XA belonged to Huaxing Society and no one could stop Huaxing Society's expansion.
Due to the large number of these gang members, with varying qualities, Tang Feng had no choice but to temporarily settle them together under Mengzi's management. After finishing this busy period and gathering all the cadres of Huaxing Society for a meeting, they would determine the second reform plan for Huaxing Society.
December 25th, Fei Fei's birthday. On this day, all entertainment venues under the Huaxing Society are open for free, and some main members gather at Black Mantaro to celebrate the little princess of Huaxing Society's birthday.
Just this day's free business had caused Huaxing Society to lose tens of millions, but Tang Feng and the others didn't mind. In their opinion, as long as Feifei was happy, spending more money was worth it. Of course, gifts couldn't be lacking. Tang Feng and the others were thinking about what to give her, this problem had troubled them for a long time. Finally, they decided to give Feifei a fiery red Ferrari. Although Feifei was still young and not suitable for being too showy, Tang Feng had said that he wanted to let Feifei live the happiest life, to make her the proudest princess.
Feifei liked this gift very much, not because it was expensive, but because she saw the care of her brothers in this car. Her brothers didn't have their own ride yet, but they gave her such an expensive car, which proved her position in her brothers' hearts.
