Under the arrangement of the auditorium staff, the three hundred brothers each received a stick of incense, stood on the bluestone board, raised the incense in their hands, and bowed three times.
Everyone inserted incense into the small mound prepared in front of the bluestone slab, took a bowl of rice wine, and drank the wine with their heads held high.
Wan Tanyuan raised his sleeve to wipe away the wine stains from the corner of his mouth, waved his hands and smashed the porcelain bowl on the ground, and the sound of three hundred people smashing the bowls immediately resounded: "Eliminate the strong and help the weak, eradicate violence and bring peace to the good, and help each other!"
The shouts of 300 people resounded through the sky. Zhang Guobin, wearing a blue gown and holding a paper fan, stood aside to watch the ceremony.
"The background of the Great Court is really strong. It easily transferred more than 300 people to South America, each of whom is an elite fighter from a boxing gym. The seeds of 300 people are sown in South America, and tens of thousands of people can be developed in a few years. Brother Hong Ying!"
"It is worthy of being a main hall that has been passed down for hundreds of years. After moving abroad for more than 200 years, it has become the local leader over time." Zhang Guobin intuitively realized how strong the Hongmen main hall is.
Half of the power of Hongmen in the world is in the main hall, and half is in the world. The domestic grand hall has already jumped out of the rivers and lakes and entered another level.
As the largest name in Xiangjiang, He Yihai has to come up with [-] elite fighters from martial arts gyms who are loyal to the club, and within three years, he will not want to show off to other clubs.
What's more, it is still necessary to withdraw from the territory and go to other places to expand the territory. Organizational ability alone is a difficulty.
It can be said that there are only 200 fighters in Heyihai's twelve local halls, each of which is from a martial arts school.
This kind of beating has always been the foundation of the club, and it is very different from the dwarf mules brought in from outside, or even the wage earners in the periphery.
"Chairman Wan can be regarded as a man who is proud of the world." Zhang Guobin sighed: "The people who are in the world, who are in his realm, can be counted on five fingers in the world."
He is also very popular in Xiangjiang, and he is also the number one figure in East Asian Chinese circles, but he can barely be considered a figure in the world's rivers and lakes, but it is really hard to rank him in the tenth place. It's hard to say, after all, the East Asian monster house is the official reputation. Comparatively speaking, the East Asian rivers and lakes are really a pond. If you want to mix in the rivers and lakes, you have to go to a free country. Not weaker than Hongmen.
At the entrance of Hongmentang, there is a site that is superior to the mafia family and the drug lord group, that is, there is a system that unites the brothers at the bottom and seeks benefits for the brothers. The number of peripheral people is far more than the mafia family and drug lord group. Different from the drug lord group's open war with the government, it is always subtly cultivating regional influence.
Whenever you have the opportunity, you can participate in the "fighting for the dragon". If you don't have the opportunity, you can train spokespersons to take the stage. This is an organization that cares about the world for its own destiny and is born for entrepreneurship.
Zhang Guobin also relied on Hongmen's institutional advantages to unite 11 righteous brothers in Xiangjiang and gain considerable influence in the colony.
"powerful!"
"The Great Hall is really strong!"
"I have to have a good relationship with Wanhui's superiors. There will definitely be benefits in the future!" Zhang Guobin thought about Xiangjiang Heyi's pitiful 23 shop names. Kaixiangtang draws life and death lottery with only a few people, and Dagongtang draws 300 people. superior!
Weak chicken, really too weak chicken, the grand court ordered the world to be so majestic!
After the ceremony, Zhang Guobin and others were invited to the Dagongtang for a meeting. The three hundred brothers of the Dagongtang immediately took a boat to Dezhou. It is too extravagant to charter a plane for 300 people, and Dezhou is a long way to go. Carrying away is the most suitable transportation route.
In a Chinese-style tea house built of sandalwood in the grand hall, there is a family photo on the wall of the World Hongmen Promise Conference.
Zhang Guobin looked at the 47 representatives from various districts in the photo who were wearing Chinese tunic suits, with different looks and temperaments, and found a familiar figure in the crowd.
"This is Hei Guren, the helmsman of Xiangjiang Hongmen back then!" Heichai introduced beside him.
Zhang Guobin nodded slightly: "You are a famous old man."
Hei Guren looks Zhou Zheng, with a farmer's temperament, if he is not wearing a tunic suit, standing among a group of gangsters, it is really hard to imagine that he is a gangster.
Heichai took Zhang Guobin and sat down on a chair on the right, Wan Tanyuan sat at the top, Hu Nianzhong sat at the left, and below were more than a dozen directors from each hall.
Heichai has the title of honorary vice president of Hongmen, which is very reasonable as a front.
Zhang Guobin sits in the top five positions, somewhat special treatment.
It made him a little uncomfortable.
After sitting down, Wan Tanyuan straightened his long gown and said aloud: "This year is 1985, exactly 40 years ago, in 1945, Mr. Situ integrated the three major halls in North America, established the Dagong Hall, and held the World Hongmen Prayer Conference. 47 people from all over the world The first Hongmen incense master rushed to North America, and more than 2000 Hongmen patriots participated.”
"At that time, the helm of Hongmen was Hutchison Hei Guren, and Mr. Situ granted Hei Guren the honorary directorship of the Grand Council, enjoying all the same rights as a council member, and taking charge of Xiangjiang affairs for Hongmen!"
"After 40 years, Mr. Hei Guren has passed away long ago. It is a pity that Xiangjiang Hongmen Heji split. Fortunately, Mr. Zhang came up to reorganize Xiangjiang Hongmen and create Heyi."
"Although I, Wan Tanyuan, have little talent and little learning, and are ineffective, I can't compare with Mr. Situ, and I don't have the prestige to hold the world Hongmen pleading meeting." Chairman Wan said in a reverent tone, arching his hands: "But I think Mr. Zhang is for my Hongmen You have made contributions, and you are the helmsman of Hongmen, and you have made outstanding achievements, so you should be awarded the post of director of the Great Court."
"What do you guys think?" Wan Tanyuan raised the teacup, lifted the lid, and brewed the tea soup.
Zhang Guobin showed a look of surprise, and just wanted to stand up and refuse.
Heichai was overjoyed, and quickly stretched out his hand to hold his leg.
Hu Nianzhong sat calmly at the side, carefully observing the expressions of the directors. Among the directors, there are both mature and stable, veterans of the previous generation, and rookies, such as Zhang Huawu, a Los Angeles employee who is highly regarded by the chairman, and New York employee Zhang Huawu. The worker is "Head of State Bai", the Chicago worker is "Uncle Han", the Philadelphia worker is "Da Ji", and the San Francisco worker is "cousin".
I saw that Cousin, Uncle Han, and Head of State Bai were all indifferent on their faces, showing no joy or anger, but Daji stared at the "Prince Bin" with great interest, and Zhang Huawu was concerned about something. It's none of your business, whatever your expression is.
None of the five most powerful Zhazhi people had any objections, and the Zhazhi people in other cities would not have anything to say. President Wan's control over the Great Court is strong enough.
The title of an honorary director is nothing more than a void, it does not affect the interests of all parties, and it does not divide the cake, especially the Dagongtang still needs to use He Yihai's industry to enter South America.
My cousin felt that the directors were all underestimated, so he encouraged him: "Mr. Zhang is young and promising, has a great reputation, and has made contributions to my grand court. He should set an example for the Hongmen in the world. I suggest that the president's daughter buy a horse bone and give it to him directly. An honorary vice president!"
Zhang Guobin glanced at him, deeply remembering the sad face of the "cousin" of a San Francisco employee.
This old bone is full of bad water.
Chairman Wan waved his hand, smiled softly, pretending he didn't hear it, and said, "Since all the directors of the Grand Council have no objections, Abin, you will be the honorary director of my Grand Council from now on, and the appointment ceremony will be held in the afternoon to register the seabed , listed in the roster, and announced to the Hongmen of the world."
Knowing that Zhang Guobin could no longer refuse, he stood up and cupped his fists and said, "Thank you President Wan and the Hongmen brothers for your love."
Wan Tanyuan also announced that Fire Bull was the speaker of Houston, and Ananza was assisted by the white paper fan.
The meeting adjourned.
No matter how curious Zhang Guobin was about the position of the honorary director, the words came out of his mouth and became: "Grandpa, what is the origin of that bad guy called cousin?"
Chapter 448 To Conquer the Ghost
"Abin, shut up." Heichai bowed his head quickly and said, "Cousin was President Wan's confidant brother who was born and died when he was young. He was in charge of the San Francisco church with [-] disciples. He is currently the governor of California. He was a cousin when he was young. He is the legal advisor of the company, and he is a toubob on one-third of an acre of land in San Francisco."
"There are a total of fifteen directors in the Dagongtang, and the top three are called the 'Three Lords'. If the Dagongtang is compared to a court hall, the cousin, uncle Han, and the head of state Bai are the Sangongs, and the chairman Wan is the prime minister. Don't be rude to your cousin."
Zhang Guobin was surprised and said: "This aging is quite majestic!"
If the Dagongtang is really a court, then he is a king of a different place, so what a fool!
However, Heichai has lived in San Francisco for two years, and has a good understanding of the Grand Court, and being a member of the Grand Court system can give Zhang Guobin a lot of help.
The two got into the same car, and Zhang Guobin asked in a low voice, "What power does the honorary director have?"
Heichai leaned on the sofa seat, tapped the armrest with his fingers, and explained: "Honorary directors have the same power as directors, but they are often awarded to the Hongmen Xiangzhu and Rudder outside the Grand Palace. Back then, Hongmen held a family reclamation meeting. At that time, more than 40 honorary directors were sealed at once, and the honorary directors at that time were worthless, but now you are the only honorary director in the world."
"What kind of power do you think you have?" Heichai smiled and said nothing, and Zhang Guobin's eyes lit up: "Things are rare, and the status of honorary director is even higher than that of director at this moment?"
"Yes!" Heichai said affirmatively: "If the honorary director wants to do something within the scope of the Great Court, the local director and the hall must cooperate, otherwise it must be reported to the president for approval. If the honorary director is attacked on the site of a certain hall, The Dagongtang will hold the local hall accountable! The rules of the Dagongtang are stricter than those of Xiangjiang Hongmen. It can be said that there is no shop in the world that is more disciplined than the Dagongtang!"
"The strongest strength must be controlled with the strictest laws!"
"It seems that a false name is also useful." Zhang Guobin felt the weight of an honorary director.
Wan Tanyuan reciprocated, and gave him a sufficient status. Heichai smiled on his face, but secretly said in his heart: "Since the honorary director has the same position and power as the director, there is hope for the inaugural president and the president of the Grand Court." !"
"Prince, prince."
"This first step has finally been taken!"
Heichai was very pleased.
Zhang Guobin asked with a smile: "Grandpa, I heard that Master Su went to the night market last night and was arrested by his daughter-in-law?"
"That old and shameless thing!"
Heichai scolded: "You don't look like an elder!"
Zhang Guobin nodded with a smile on his face: "You tell Mr. Su to be careful."
"Will do."
Heichai said with a straight face.
Master Su really made friends carelessly, and his wisdom was ruined in one go.
cough cough.
Fortunately, no one in North America cares.
This is no longer his arena.
The inauguration ceremony for Zhang Guobin held by the Grand Council was very simple, that is, the uncle of the auditorium was invited to sit in charge, and each district took the lead to watch the ceremony, and then registered and compiled the book.
The way to announce Hongmen to the world is to publish a news in the newspaper.
three days later.
Zhang Guobin returned to Houston.
In the villa.
Ma Shiming was wearing a white suit with an excited expression on his face, reporting the progress of the acquisition: "Boss, Yihai and Nanfang Company have gone through all the legal procedures yesterday."
"The 7-11 convenience store chain is already a company owned by Heyihai in the legal sense, but the company's management has not changed yet. This morning, [-] dispatched workers from the Dagong Group have arranged to live in the apartment."
"The 7-11 company is counting the staff gap in convenience stores and coordinating staff arrangements."
Zhang Guobin was a little displeased with the name of the dispatched laborers, and frowned slightly, but the labor relations of the [-] Hongmen brothers were indeed still listed in the Dagong Group registered in the Dagong Hall.
Zhang Guobin was too lazy to correct the address, and said directly: "These three hundred Dagong employees enjoy the salaries and benefits of 7-11 regular employees, and they will arrange to go to work in the store tomorrow. As for the senior management of the 7-11 chain company, don't move. Yihai will set up a The project inspection team is directly stationed in the 7-11 company to focus on financial reports and daily work, and another third of the middle management is transferred to Xiangjiang to prepare for the 7-11 Asian company.”
"Those who promise to go to Xiangjiang will pay twice as much to the company, and promise to give priority to promotion. Xiangjiang company will directly recruit reserve store managers from the society and send them to Houston to learn the management model of 7-11."
"There is no education limit for the store manager. Elementary school, middle school, and university are all acceptable, but he needs to be able to read and speak English. He promises that middle school and university will give priority to promotion and salary increase."
Working in a convenience store does not require any academic qualifications and requires a service attitude, but recruiting a reserve store manager still requires certain personal qualities.
After the reserve store manager is trained well, Xiangjiang will carry out the training of the store staff, and the 7-11 convenience store will be able to form a training mechanism, which will blossom everywhere in Asia.
As for the supply chain channels in Asia, foreign imported goods, etc., those are the issues considered by the company's management, not the consideration of the big boss.
Zhang Guobin has a convoy and brothers, so it's really impossible to smuggle him for you!
Smuggling milk, smuggling bread, and smuggling barbecue sausages are not impossible to put on the shelves...
As long as it's worth it!
Ma Shiming took out the pen from his breast pocket, took a small notebook, and recorded the main points line by line.
He finished recording what the big boss said personally, and then asked: "Big boss, what else do you want to explain?"
Zhang Guobin had an idea, and made a special trip to ask: "In the future, when opening a convenience store, pay attention when recruiting employees. Each store will give priority to recruiting a young and beautiful girl. I would rather be less capable than attract customers."
"After all, convenience stores are for young people. Even if young people buy things, they like to see beautiful women." According to a professional market research report in later generations, when customers check out, there are beautiful female cashiers, and customers will feel happy when they check out. much better.
Convenience stores with pretty girls are more likely to attract repeat customers.
The dirty work that pretty girls can’t finish is done, and the younger generation will rush to do it. The big deal is to hire an extra hourly worker. The hourly worker system in convenience stores has a long history, and the hourly wages at 7-11 are not high.
Pretty girls are generally lazy, and it's easy to work in a convenience store, so they can recruit a lot of them.
"Big boss, don't worry, I will pay close attention to this point and make sure that all customers can see beautiful girls." Ma Shiming said.
He happened to be writing a business management publication recently, and it seemed that he had to remember one point—the preferences of the business owner determine the height of the company's development.
Zhang Sheng is brilliant!
Fei Lin was leaning on the sofa beside him, smoking a cigarette, and waited until the leading boss had finished chatting with the foreign team, then he took off the cigarette in his mouth, and said, "Bingo, the brothers have had a lot of fights with the Mexicans these two days. fierce."
"I've heard about this." Zhang Guobin nodded slightly, lit a cigar, turned his head and explained to Fei Lin: "I received a tip from a friend that three days later, the Mexicans will launch an attack and loot our 7- 11 convenience stores.”
"The leader is Torres, the director of the Parma Group. Torres is a die-hard supporter of Parma, and he has been muttering to avenge Parma. In addition, the Parma Group also has a director of Mendoza, who is a radical The racists have great hostility to the Hongmen Chinese stepping into Houston."
Zhang Guobin is not in Houston, but he still pays attention to the situation in Houston, and basically found out the backgrounds of all the bosses in the Houston gang.
However, he was extremely surprised that "Palma", the boss of the Palma Group, was actually a retired police officer from the State Police Department.
After thinking about it, it is normal for American countries to "send people wearing straw sandals". In history, several famous international drug lords were all local policemen.
He is keenly aware of a problem: "These drug lords must be the black gloves of government officials!"
This is from his experience of ups and downs in the rivers and lakes for several years.
Because, in areas where the police force and the rivers and lakes are in the same situation, black is black and white is white. In areas where the police force and the rivers and lakes have certain interests in cooperation, there is a delicate gray between black and white, such as Xiangjiang.
But in areas where the police force and the Jianghu care more closely, black is the spokesman for white interests, and white is black's umbrella!
For example, Xiangjiang 70 years ago.
This will never change!
That is to say, the Palma Group represents a certain official interest group. Killing Palma is superficial. Only by killing the people behind the Palma Group can the Chinese really gain a foothold.
The strength of Torres and Mendoza on the one hand is their personal struggle for power, and on the other hand it is a manifestation of the will of the upper class.
"I decided to beat them to death, to shock them, to break their backs!"
Zhang Guobin spit out a thick white mist.
