"Are you ready to start?" Bai Xiaoye opened the door and got out. "Have you thought of anything? Who's the godfather of the Gambino family now? How do we contact him? I don't have a clue at all. "
Xu Yun smiled. "We don't need any clues. As long as we're ruthless enough, they'll naturally come looking for us."
"Are you going to offend them on purpose, and then …" Bai Xiaoye's mouth fell open in shock. "Are you crazy? If we don't handle this well, we'll be hunted down by all the mafia in New York. Even if you don't think much of them, you can't win against so many of them. They're not like Hua Xia's hooligans. At most, they'll stab you with a knife. They have so many guns, and bullets don't have eyes.
"In any case, if we want to save Old Master Gu from them, we'll have to offend them." Xu Yun said, "Apart from this, there's no other way to attract Randolph's attention. You're not scared, are you? "
Bai Xiaoye flicked her hair and puffed out her chest. "I'm scared? Are you kidding me? Why would I be scared? You're not scared at all, okay? Then, we'll do as you say. "
"Then, let's split up and find out what kind of business the Gambino family cares about the most. Tonight, we'll cause some trouble for them." Xu Yun said, "We'll gather here at six tonight. Neither of us has a driver's license, so let's leave the car in the parking lot. New York's roads are too congested. It'll be troublesome if we get into an accident while driving. "
Bai Xiaoye stretched out her hand. "Then you have to give me some money, right? What if I have to eat a hamburger or sit on the ground? I can't be penniless, right? "
"Here, two hundred should be enough, right? Spend it sparingly." Xu Yun took out two hundred dollars and gave it to Bai Xiaoye.
Bai Xiaoye was speechless. "Two hundred dollars … You're really my brother!"
Xu Yun didn't hear the compliment. Instead, he grinned. "Isn't that so? Your brother treats you well, right? You're so generous, giving me two hundred dollars at once! Let those who don't have brothers be envious! "
"I think you're really crazy." Bai Xiaoye couldn't be bothered with Xu Yun anymore. She walked out of the parking lot and took a taxi. It shouldn't be that easy to find the business that the Gambino family valued the most, right? There was no time to waste.
Looking at Bai Xiaoye leaving in the car, Xu Yun felt guilty. As an elder brother, he brought his younger sister to New York, but he only gave her ¥200 for her pocket money. He had no choice but to puff himself up at his own cost. During the earthquake, he was concerned about the disaster area and donated all his private savings.
The finances of Sky Entertainment Group were completely handed over to Zuo Meiyan. As the boss, he didn't get paid at all. He was also the boss of Xingkai Hotel. He didn't get paid, only the year-end bonus. He had just returned to the Dragon Brigade, and although he had been promoted, he would probably have to wait until next month to receive his salary.
Xu Yun couldn't possibly ask Ruan Qingshuang and the others for money. Although if he were to open his mouth, they would definitely fork out the money without hesitation, but Xu Yun really couldn't open his mouth. After all, he was a man.
Qiang and the Three Tigers of Southern City had also bought houses in Shen Jiang and were now mortgage slaves. Xu Yun was too embarrassed to ask them for money. Lin Ge was in a relationship, so his expenses would definitely be high. Moreover, this fellow also didn't have a fixed income, so he must be quite poor. He was probably waiting for the year-end bonus from the hotel …
After thinking about it, Xu Yun could only make this younger sister of his suffer. He didn't have much money, so she should spend less. The main thing was that he still had to leave enough money for the two of them to fly back. He couldn't possibly spend all his money here and borrow money from Celine when he went back to Vancouver to buy a plane ticket, right? That would be too embarrassing.
Xu Yun told Bai Xiaoye that they were going to split up to find out more. In fact, he wanted Bai Xiaoye to walk around the Big Apple and experience the local culture. This trip wouldn't be in vain. As for where they could go to poke at the Gambino family's sore spot, he didn't need to do that to know.
The Italian mafia's "godfather of godfathers," Salvatore LoPiccolo, had been arrested in a police raid. Through drug trafficking, extortion, loan sharking, smuggling, counterfeiting, online piracy, and other illegal activities, they earned over 90 billion euros annually.
As the most famous godfather of the modern American mafia, Randolph's ability to earn money might not be as good as the godfather of godfathers, but it shouldn't be a problem for him to earn several billion USD annually, right?
His methods were nothing more than drug trafficking, extortion, loan sharking, smuggling, counterfeiting, online piracy, and other illegal activities. Many people might not understand why online piracy was so profitable. That was because they weren't in this line of work. Piracy was to forcefully take the copyright owner's benefits. This was no different from robbers. Not to mention pirating commercialized movies, just pirating online novels could earn him several billion USD annually!
But in the end, for Randolph to raise such conditions to the American government, it meant that his main source of income was still drugs and extortion. If he even dared to blackmail the American government, what else did he not dare to do?
But Xu Yun probably didn't have the time to investigate if he wanted to seize the clues of their drug trade and sabotage it. Other than drug trafficking, smuggling, and extortion, the fastest way to earn money was through loan sharking.
As long as Xu Yun was involved in the Gambino family's loan sharking business, Randolph would naturally be furious. By then, he would definitely want to chop Xu Yun into pieces with his own hands!
Xu Yun knew very well that if he wanted to meet Randolph, he would have to force him to show up. Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy to find him.
The plan had been made long ago. Now, Xu Yun only needed to find out more about the Gambino family's biggest "investment and wealth management company" in New York.
The Gambino family was so big. Even if they were in the business of loan sharking, they would definitely have a signboard approved by the government. This was a symbol of power. But those who dared to come here to borrow money knew very well that it wasn't easy to return the money they borrowed.
But in some cases, there would still be many people who would choose loan sharking. Since this industry existed, it meant that there was a reason for its existence.
Xu Yun yawned and found an ordinary American breakfast shop. He ordered a cup of coffee and a hamburger … In order to save money, he ate the hamburger until it was tasteless in his mouth. Now, he really wanted to find a Chinese breakfast shop and have some soup dumplings or spicy soup. Speaking of what he yearned for the most, it was the kind of porridge made of beans. It was thick, with two ounces of mutton in it. It was delicious to drink it with relish, and it was dipped in deep-fried dough sticks. It was absolutely satisfying.
Other than Qufu, where Confucius lived, there probably wasn't any other place that had mutton in plain porridge, right? Not to mention America … Xu Yun was really thinking too much.
After eating a hamburger, Xu Yun went back to the streets of New York. Although he didn't have much of an economic brain, he still wanted to go to Wall Street to experience the feeling of living at a fast pace. He didn't want to make himself lazy.
How many wolves in sheep's clothing were there in the economic center of the world? How many stories had happened on Wall Street that made people rich overnight and also made people go back to the time before liberation? Probably no one could count them, right? The more heavenly a city looked, the more brutal the competition was.
Xu Yun was really impressed. How big were these bosses on Wall Street? Only then would he be able to withstand such enormous pressure.
