The origin of the mafia was a long story. Let's just briefly talk about the Gambino family that Randolph now controlled. Of course, Randolph naturally couldn't be compared to their founder, Gambino. But to be fair, he was definitely a capable godfather of the mafia.
Ever since John Gotti took over the Gambino family, the Gambino family started to gradually decline. Especially after the large-scale prosecution of the Gambino family by the New York prosecutors, the number of members in the family decreased by a lot! But ever since Randolph took over, the Gambino family's situation took a turn for the better.
Before Randolph took over the Gambino family, he had already controlled the shipping industry in New York through profiteering methods. He also manipulated the New York Seamen's Union to blackmail and blackmail the workers.
Under his leadership, the Gambino Mafia Family took control of the International Seamen's Association, which represented the interests of sixty to seventy thousand seamen in North America. Randolph then used violence and bribery to place his family members into important positions in the association. He even blackmailed the International Seamen's Union into using the seamen's medical funds to sign a huge medical contract so that he could make huge profits.
Also, he had been forcefully collecting protection fees from small businesses, seamen, and dock workers in New York Harbor for a long time. He also used illegal methods to interfere with the business activities in Brooklyn and Staten Island.
Ever since Randolph took over the Gambino family, he led the Gambino family and a few other big families in New York to infiltrate or control many Wall Street brokerage companies. He illegally manipulated the stock prices of more than 20 companies and forcefully sold them to investors to make huge profits.
Because of this, Randolph started to be obsessed with making money quickly. The drug business was naturally a must. As long as the police didn't have enough evidence, even if everyone knew that the Gambino family was the biggest drug gang in New York, Randolph didn't care. Smuggling was also a profitable business, so Randolph naturally wouldn't let it go.
Of course, other than that, there was also the simplest and most effective illegal method that could cover the entire society — usury! For a wealthy city like New York, many people dreamed of becoming the richest of the rich. Although most of them were daydreaming, there was no lack of capable people.
Once Randolph took a liking to someone, he wouldn't be stingy with his loan sharks. However, once someone took Randolph's money, it meant that they would never be able to make a comeback. The terrifyingly high profits made many people unable to repay their debts. In the end, they could only become a member of Randolph's Gambino family. Those who didn't submit would have everything they had forcefully taken away from them and disappear from this world forever.
Randolph didn't know how many times he had done this kind of thing. His principle was very simple. As long as it was something beneficial to the Gambino family, he would not let it go.
His goal was to become the only godfather in the history of the Gambino family who could surpass the achievements of the first godfather, Gambino!
He had become the most famous godfather in the history of the American Mafia. His story had also been made into a movie, and his story had become a story that would be passed down for generations to come. His story had also become an indelible history!
Xu Yun really had to be careful when dealing with such a person. Otherwise, it would be hard to say if he really fell into a trap.
Just like what Bai Xiaoye had said, after all, the other party had the advantage in numbers. Right now, there were more than a hundred people who directly belonged to the Gambino family, and each of them had more than a hundred subordinates. These subordinates also had many capable people around them. This kind of terrifying family model was definitely not to be underestimated.
Finally, it was time for the evening meeting. Bai Xiaoye's legs were tired from walking around the central area of New York. She hadn't spent two hundred dollars. It wasn't because she was thrifty, but because nothing she had set her eyes on could be bought with two hundred dollars.
"The Gambino family's fastest way to earn money is through drugs, right? What can be more terrifying than this three thousand percent profit? Even lottery tickets aren't that profitable," Bai Xiaoye said. "But it's almost impossible to catch them at the scene of their drug deal. Even the New York police can't do anything to them, let alone us. Basically, all the docks in New York belong to the five great families. I'm afraid it won't be easy for us to create trouble for them in their business. "
Xu Yun nodded in agreement. Indeed, drugs were the Gambino family's greatest source of income. The profits from drugs were simply too high. Furthermore, most of the people who enjoyed "it" were rich people. Even the poor would think of all sorts of ways to scam, cheat, and steal in order to raise enough money for drugs.
When it came to drugs, no one would ever say that they would buy drugs on credit. No drug dealer would buy drugs on credit either.
Those who had some money and some background could afford it. At the very least, even if they died from the drugs, they would still have their pride and could afford it. As for those who didn't have much money and had to lower themselves to sell their bodies for drugs every day, what was the point of smoking? They would die in a cowardly manner.
"Let's leave the matter of catching them in their drug business to the New York police. We can't let the American police follow the corrupt example of some Hua Xia police. It's necessary to give them some pressure and a sense of crisis," Xu Yun said. "Let's look for something that's easy for them to find trouble with."
Bai Xiaoye shrugged helplessly. "Something that's easy to find trouble with? Will that work? Didn't you say that if the matter is too small, it won't be of any use? After all, Randolph is the godfather of the Gambino family. He can't possibly come out to deal with something so trivial, right? "
Xu Yun smiled meaningfully. "Follow me. I'll tell you what kind of matter can make Randolph unable to sit still."
Bai Xiaoye was really curious. She followed Xu Yun into a taxi. She thought that Xu Yun was going to bring her somewhere, but she didn't expect Xu Yun to bring her to a restaurant called Daniel.
This restaurant was known as a wonder of the catering industry. The chef combined his imagination with the food, creating a lot of food with a unique taste, which satisfied many diners. The decoration of the restaurant was also very much in the style of the Renaissance.
After all, the matter at night was risky. Xu Yun wouldn't mistreat his sister on this' last dinner '. It would be a little inappropriate for them to eat hamburgers. No matter what, they had to eat something good.
Bai Xiaoye didn't expect Xu Yun to be so considerate. After the food, the two of them got to the main topic. They went straight to the entrance of the Gambino family's venture capital company on Wall Street.
Although the Americans were busy and the pace of life on Wall Street was quite fast, they definitely didn't have the habit of working overtime. They liked to finish their work during working hours and have a good rest during break time. This was called living.
Of course, when the company got off work, Wall Street was still brightly lit. After all, there were companies that 'worked overtime'. Usually, these companies that had 'worked overtime' had some shameful things to do.
For example, in this loan shark company of the Gambino family, there would always be some special matters to deal with at night. At this moment, Randolph's right-hand man, Wesley, was sitting in front of a spacious office chair. He repeatedly ran his fingers through the few strands of hair on his head. That's right, he was bald. He hated people with beautiful hair the most.
However, the person kneeling in front of him now was an Asian man with glossy hair. It was obvious that he was unwilling to kneel, but there was nothing he could do. Wesley's subordinates all had guns in their hands, and he knew very well how many people from the Gambino family were in this company.
Ever since he received his first sum of money from the Gambino family's venture capital company, he started to regret it. However, it was all too late. After starting his business for so many years, the Gambino family had already collected hundreds of millions of USD in interest from him. He had only borrowed ten million USD back then!
