Chapter 365: Red Gate Meeting (3)
Hearing Chen Jiu's rebuttal, He Lao did not get angry or unhappy. On the contrary, a smile appeared on his face, and then he slowly spoke to everyone present:
"I guess everyone must have been very confused before, why did I give Lu Chen so much selfless assistance and think so highly of him?"
"Perhaps you have witnessed the powerful force that Lu Chen displayed in New York some time ago. However, I did not decide to lend a helping hand to him simply because of his huge power."
"The main reason why I chose to support and help him is that I hope to make friends with him. Maybe you don't know that Lu Chen is the most important source of arms supply for our Red Gate. Most of the weapons and equipment we use are also made by Lu Chen. Moreover, Lu Chen's largest military factory happens to be located in the Philippines. Therefore, when we select the person in charge of Philippine affairs, I hope you can think carefully. I don't want the relationship between us and Lu Chen to continue to deteriorate."
After hearing what He Lao said, everyone's eyes instantly focused on Chen Jiu. They knew that now that Lu Chen had sent Chen Jiu's only son to prison, Chen Jiu must be resentful of Lu Chen.
After a moment's thought, the many elders present immediately came up with the same idea as Mr. He - Chen Jiu must not be allowed to go to the Philippines to serve as an elder.
At present, the affairs of East India are of vital importance to the Red Gate, and any factors that may affect its development must be excluded. Chen Jiu's hatred for Lu Chen is likely to cause some unexpected problems, thus interfering with the normal progress of the East India project. Therefore, all the elders agreed with He Lao's suggestion and unanimously rejected the idea of Chen Jiu becoming an elder.
Chen Jiu couldn't help but feel ridiculous when he saw the scene in front of him. Just because they didn't want to offend Lu Chen, they actually planned to suppress him and prevent him from taking the position of elder. What kind of absurd logic is this? The Red Gate is so huge, can't it even find a suitable arms supplier?
He wanted to know, if he was not given the position of elder, then who would Elder He nominate to fill the vacancy?
After rejecting Chen Jiu's succession to the position of elder, He Lao immediately asked others to continue to nominate candidates for elders. After a heated discussion, it was finally decided that a man named Wu Zhiqiang, nicknamed Big B, would take over Wu Minghong's position as elder.
As for the position of the person in charge of the Philippines, it was Shan Ji who was recommended by Big B.
After it was determined that Shan Ji would become the new person in charge, the meeting was basically coming to an end. During the entire meeting, Chen Jiu gained nothing, which led to a significant change in his view of Hongmen.
He thought to himself that since the Red Gate could not give him what he desired, it was not worth his life. Therefore, when the meeting just ended, he left the tea room without hesitation. He had only one thought in mind, which was to find Yun Qingchen immediately and discuss with her how to rescue Chen Guangyao.
After the meeting, Elder He and other senior staff quickly announced a new list of personnel appointments. It wasn't long before Lu Chen heard about the Red Gate's list of personnel appointments. When he carefully looked at the names listed above, he couldn't help but feel confused and bewildered.
"Chicken, Chen Haonan, and Big B. The three most powerful people in Causeway Bay are here. Is this Young and Dangerous invading?"
Then Lu Chen started to look at the information of these three people. After reading it, Lu Chen found that these three people were really extraordinary. They were all fierce men who came from East India.
Chen Haonan, a man famous for his marksmanship, once killed more than 50 enemies single-handedly in a fierce battle. Not only was he so brave, he also participated in the Northern Expedition led by Mr. Sun. However, fate made him offend some dignitaries and he was forced to flee his homeland and embark on the road of exile.
Another legendary character, Shan Ji, whose real name is completely different from the character played by Chun Ge, is more majestic - Zhao Shanhai. His experience is equally amazing. This person once ventured into Japan, and with his extraordinary strength and courage, he successfully suppressed the Yamaguchi-gumi and seized control of an entire red-light district in Tokyo.
The nickname "Pheasant" was not given randomly, but was derived from his love of fighting and his fierce and aggressive personality. It was based on these characteristics that his subordinates gave him such an appropriate nickname.
As for Big B's information, Lu Chen did not read it carefully, mainly because the first page of Big B's information said: Member of the Huaxia Overseas Alliance.
With such an identity, the things he experienced must have been extraordinary.
After reading the information, Lu Chen was immediately happy. It turned out that Chen Jiu didn't get any benefit at all this time. Not only that, his original power in Texas was also assigned to someone else.
Then Lu Chen thought about whether he should go find Chen Haonan. After all, he was parachuted into Texas and he had no roots in Texas. If he went to Texas like this, he would definitely be sidelined.
I will go there now and express my willingness to lend him some soldiers. I will help him quickly control Dezhou, and he will definitely agree. Then I will use this opportunity to clean up Chen Jiu's influence in Dezhou. This plan is perfect. It not only helps Chen Haonan and does a favor to Hongmen, but also cleans up Chen Jiu and solves a big problem for myself. It is simply a genius idea.
With this idea, Lu Chen immediately took action. He did not recognize this Chen Haonan, but it did not matter, he could find this Chen Haonan through other people. He called Eric and gave him Chen Haonan's information. He asked him to send someone to find this person.
As for where to look, Lu Chen asked them to go to San Francisco first. Because it was the first stop for Chinese people arriving in the United States, most Chinese people would get off the ship in San Francisco.
After instructing Eric, Lu Chen immediately went out and headed towards the telecommunications bureau. He was going to send a phone call to the people in the Philippines, asking them to use their connections to find this person named Chen Haonan in Nanyang.
Lu Chen believed that he would definitely find Chen Haonan through his two-pronged search. If he really couldn't find him, he would wait until Chen Haonan arrived in Texas and took office before looking for him.
But Lu Chen certainly could not have imagined that Chen Haonan would take the initiative to visit him in New York before going to Texas to take office.
