Mr. Situ on the other side did the same thing, cutting his finger and dripping blood into the wine bowl.
After the wine and blood were mixed, Mr. Situ stepped forward to pick up the wine bowl and turned to face the people in the hall.
As early as when the deacon was beheading the chicken with a red stick, someone in the hall distributed a stick of incense to each guest invited to watch the ceremony.
Seeing that everyone was holding incense sticks, Mr. Situ walked forward slowly, slowly knelt down facing the altar, and chanted loudly
"On the 18th day of the lunar month of the year Bingxu, at the entrance of the 18th Hongmen Hall in the world, the Hongmen Hongyi Hall raised the flag of righteousness in Sao Paulo, Brazil, to protect our overseas Chinese brothers. Please protect us from our ancestors and all the Hongmen heroes." p>
Everyone in the hall raised the incense sticks above their heads and knelt down facing the altar.
When Mr. Situ finished reciting, everyone followed suit
"Please bless our ancestors! Bless all Hongmen heroes!"
Then Mr. Situ sang Nai Tao loudly
"Nowadays, Fang Xinshui, a descendant of Hongyi Hall, is chivalrous and courageous, and has a warm heart. He is well-known among the Chinese brothers in Brazil. He was recommended by the brothers. Under our witness, he took up the position of the head of Hongmen Hall in Brazil.
Under the jurisdiction of Hongmen, abide by Hongmen rules and protect our Brazilian Chinese brothers."
After Mr. Situ finished singing, Fang Xinshui also swore again
"We, Xinshui, swear today to our ancestors and Hongmen heroes that we will unite our brothers and protect China. We will abide by the thirty-six oaths. If we violate them, we are willing to be punished with three swords and six holes."
All the guests also stood up and sang "We will witness together!"
Then Mr. Situ picked up the wine bowl and took a sip, then handed the wine bowl to Fang Xinshui, who also took a sip.
After the ceremony, everyone stood up.
Mr. Situ stretched out his hand to shake hands with Fang Xinshui and said with a smile on his face
"Xinshui, from now on, the Chinese compatriots in Brazil will be left to you."
Fang Xinshui also said with a smile on his face
"Mr. Situ, don't worry. As a Chinese, it is your duty to do so.
This time, Mr. Situ has traveled thousands of miles to host the ceremony at Hongyi Hall. Xinshui is very grateful.
I have already booked a hotel, and I will make sure I don’t get drunk this time.”
Mr. Situ is a forthright person. Although he is very old, he still has no stage fright
"Haha, no problem. It's rare for Hongmen in the world to have so many leaders gather together. Everyone will not get drunk this time."
Everyone around laughed when they heard this.
Fang Xinshui also quickly said to everyone
"On behalf of Hong Yitang, I would like to thank all of you for traveling thousands of miles to come to Brazil to support us.
The hotel has prepared our Brazilian-style wine and food. Please eat and drink well."
"Master Fang, we are not here to eat and drink. Your Hongyi Hall has done a lot in your hometown. All the Hongmen in your hometown have made a fortune following you.
Don’t forget us about this opportunity to make a fortune!”
A short, fat man with a short stature spoke directly.
The people around him frowned when they heard this, looking a little unhappy.
Fang Xinshui understands that not all of these so-called Hongmen gangsters are heroes.
Most of them are actually gangsters.
Therefore, I was prepared for this and was not surprised.
At present, the power of Hongyi Tang in Brazil is still very weak. For these Hongmen Tang who have developed for decades or hundreds of years, they naturally look down upon them, and they will not be particularly polite when speaking.
But everyone is here as a guest, so it is impossible to fall out with them directly, so they can only smile and say
"Easy to say, easy to say.
We can sit down and talk about business slowly. Let’s have a casual meal together first. Fang will not let everyone go in vain.”
When the short and fat man saw Fang Xinshui showing weakness, he nodded with satisfaction and said nothing more.
Mr. Situ looked at this arrogant and domineering short fat man calmly and said nothing.
He knew that this person was Wei Shichang, the boss of Hongmentang in South Vietnam. It was hard to say that this guy was very powerful.
But I heard that the French have recently taken control of South Vietnam, and this guy has been listed as a French official and has contracted some logistics services in France.
He also bought a lot of arms from the French magistrates, and now has an armed force of more than a hundred people, so he has become a little arrogant recently.
Even he, the master of Hongmen Mountain, doesn’t take it seriously in his eyes.
Not to mention the leader of the Hongmen Hall in Brazil, a poor and poor place.
Therefore, Mr. Situ is not surprised by his attitude.
In fact, Hongmen is not an organization with very centralized power, and the power of the Hongmen Mountain Lord is far from being as powerful as it seems.
What Mr. Situ can control now is the Hongmen organization in the United States.
This leader of the Nanyue Hongmen Hall named Wei Shichang, Mr. Situ, apart from being able to lead him in name only, it is impossible to kick him out of his position as leader.
Unless someone under his command wants to replace him, Mr. Situ can provide some help from the side, and then, after his subordinate succeeds, he will directly recognize the other party's Hongmen orthodox identity.
Everyone left Xiangtang talking and laughing, followed Fang Xinshui's arrangements, walked out of Hongyitang Building, and took cars back to the hotel where they were staying.
Of course, the food and accommodation for this trip were arranged by the Brazilian Hongyi Hall, so Fang Xinshui directly booked a large hotel in Sao Paulo, and everyone's food and accommodation were arranged here.
After returning to the hotel, there were young men from Hongyi Hall in black suits maintaining order at the intersection.
The waiters inside the hotel were also prepared long ago and welcomed these bosses into the restaurant one by one.
Fang Xinshui walked and chatted with Mr. Situ.
"Xinshui, I was on the road today and saw many police officers at various intersections helping to maintain order. It seems that you have a great influence in the local area!"
Mr. Situ asked obviously surprised.
When Fang Xinshui heard this, he just smiled and said
"Where, where, the mountain master is joking.
Recently, the public security in Sao Paulo has not been very good, and the police are cracking down on organized crime everywhere.
So there are a lot of police on the road, which is normal."
Looking at Fang Xinshui's calm expression, it seemed as if everything was exactly as he said.
But Mr. Situ is not so easy to get over.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
Looking at Fangxin Waterway with a smile on his face
"Since the police are cracking down on gangsters on a large scale, you still dare to establish a law at this time.
Don’t be afraid of the Brazilian police coming to make trouble!”
Fang Xinshui looked at Mr. Situ in surprise and said
"How do you say this, Mr. Situ?
Our Hongyi Tang is a formal company and a legal enterprise that pays taxes to the city government. Why should we be afraid of the police’s crackdown on gangs and evil?”
Mr. Situ was stunned when he heard this. What he said was so reasonable that I couldn't refute it.
"It's me, Meng Lang,
It seems that Xinshui, you have a completely different understanding of the development of Hongyi Hall than other Hongmen halls!"
Fang Xinshui cupped his hands and said with a smile on his face
"Where, where, isn't Mr. Situ also forming a political party?
Our Hong Yi Tang is not a gangster organization, and of course we don’t need to be afraid of the government.
We pay taxes to them, and they should protect our interests as they should!"
At this moment, Mr. Situ couldn't help but sigh: What a terrible young man!
He never expected that the Brazilian Hongyi Tang would not follow the rules at all and blatantly corporatized the organization. The name of the company was simply called Hongyi Tang.
But no one can say anything. After all, the other party has indeed registered a normal company.
"So, Hong Yitang is planning to do business in Brazil!
I don’t know what kind of industry you are engaged in?”
"Haha, Mr. Situ is right. Our Hongyi Tang is a formal company in Brazil.
Naturally, what we are engaged in is a legitimate industry. For example, the current immigration company and real estate development company are the pillar industries of our Hongyi Hall."
"Can these regular companies have so many armed guards?"
As Mr. Situ said this, he pointed at the young men in black suits who were responsible for maintaining order.
Fang Xinshui smiled indifferently
"Mr. Situ, these are professional security personnel from our newly established Hongyitang Security Company.
They are all professional security guards with gun licenses. Isn’t it normal to have guns?”
Mr. Situ suddenly felt enlightened when he heard this, and looked at Fang Xinshui in even more surprise. This actually opened a new door for him.
It turns out that you can legalize your own illegal armed forces in this way.
Just by learning this, this trip to Brazil will be worthwhile.
Think about it, aren’t the so-called immigration companies and labor service companies on the other side essentially engaging in human trade?
But the other party legalized the sale by establishing a company. I have to say that Hong Yitang is really smart.
As the two of them talked, they slowly walked into the banquet hall. As the host, Fang Xinshui was naturally responsible for entertaining the guests.
Therefore, after nodding to Mr. Situ, Fang Xinshui walked quickly into the banquet hall and greeted the guests.
Finally, everyone arrived one after another, just waiting for dinner to begin.
He saw a subordinate whisper something into Fang Xinshui's ear. Fang Xinshui turned his head and glanced at the other person in surprise, and received an affirmative look from the other party.
He quickly nodded to everyone to express his apology and walked quickly to the door of the hotel.
Everyone was a little strange at first, but soon there was a welcoming voice at the door
"Mayor of St. Paul, Mr. Scalia congratulates you!"
"The Chief of Police of Sao Paulo, Mr. Laurent Diabate, is here to congratulate you!"
The appearance of these two people obviously exceeded everyone's expectations. Most of the current Hongmen organizations in the world are secret associations.
It often has a hostile relationship with the government.
Of course, Mr. Situ's Hongmen organization in the United States actually has certain connections with some American politicians.
However, no one dares to say that city government officials and the police chief can attend the rally they organize.
This does not mean that Hongyitang has a close relationship with local government officials, because a close personal relationship with an official can mean that you have given the other party a lot of benefits, and others can wear a pair of trousers with you in private.
But even if this is the case, the other party will never participate in the celebration organized by you as a public official on such a formal occasion.
