Chapter 96 Microsoft Engineer (2/5)
Tong Shimei, whose real name is Tong Zhen.
Also known as Jenna, Jenny, and the Chinatown Tyrannosaurus Rex, she is the eldest disciple of Cai Li Fo (Master Wu only had one female disciple) —
Xu Jiadong was killed, and Xu Shengjie became an orphan in Chinatown.
Tong Zhen has always taken care of him and protected him, like an older sister.
She was genuinely good to him, but also genuinely fierce!
In the original owner's memories, he once stole money from Uncle A-Tu. When Tong Zhen found out, she beat him terribly! Afterwards, she took the original owner to Uncle A-Tu to return the money and apologize. Fortunately, Uncle A-Tu didn't hold it against him and even treated him to ice cream.
But after that, the original owner never did anything petty theft again.
If Bang Geng had a sister like Tong Shi Mei, she probably wouldn't be disliked by people.
"Opening next Friday!"
Tong Zhen said on the phone, "As a shareholder, come and cut the ribbon."
"The senior brothers are quite efficient."
"A bunch of roughnecks, actually trying to do business."
Only my sixth senior brother knows a little, but not much—if I hadn't come back, their entire fortune would have been swindled away.
"what?"
Xu Shengjie was taken aback.
He's been busy writing, scripts, and preparing for the film crew lately.
After handing over the $100,000 to his senior brother and the others, he never inquired about it again.
He hadn't even seen his senior brothers for a month.
How could something like this happen?
"I came back last weekend and have been busy cleaning up their messes all week."
But you guys are really bold, investing 500,000 without knowing anything? You're really reckless.
Luckily I came back in time, otherwise they would have squandered that money.
In other words, Uncle Kenny was honest and rented the premises to them—they opened a total of seven internet cafes: one each on Mott Street, Bowery Street, Canal Street, and East Side; two in the East Village; and the last one on Sixth Avenue, near Midtown.
Xu Shengjie was taken aback and blurted out, "Sixth Avenue? Isn't that Koreatown?"
I think that was KP's territory.
KP, short for Korean Power, is a criminal gang composed of second-generation Korean youths.
The main activities included commercial extortion and commission from illegal gambling, while also engaging in usury, primarily targeting the Korean community on West 31st to 33rd Streets.
Weekly interest: 5%–10%.
A very ruthless Korean gang.
Koreatown in Manhattan is located in Midtown Manhattan.
If we trace it back, it was probably in the 1970s that Korean businessmen started doing business on 32nd Street. Then, with the increase of Korean immigrants, Korean restaurants and Korean bookstores gradually appeared—and later, it gradually evolved into today's Koreatown.
"KP has suffered a major blow this year and is now being overwhelmed by KK and KimGee's people."
In addition, KKangpage also wants to enter Sixth Avenue, and has mobilized a lot of resources from Midtown West and Flushing —
Jin Zhongyuan was starting to feel the pressure. Just then, his senior brother was opening a branch on Sixth Avenue, and they came knocking, seeking cooperation. "You know, even though Master Wu has retired, he still has a lot of connections."
Master Wu was the security chief of the Chinatown guard team back then.
It's fair to say that no matter how arrogant the various gangs in Chinatown may seem, they will rush forward without hesitation if Master Wu gives the order.
Most of the "red sticks" in these gangs had learned martial arts from Master Wu.
As for KP, this year has been purely unlucky for him.
In March, after extorting money from three Korean restaurants in Midtown, KP was surprised to find that one of the restaurant owners' sons had risen to prominence and was now working for the New York District Attorney. Without hesitation, KP filed a lawsuit. The New York District Court swiftly ruled that KP was a serious criminal gang. Police subsequently raided and apprehended the entire KP operation.
Two senior executives were arrested and confessed, while six mid-level executives were imprisoned.
A fine of 500,000 yuan.
It almost completely drained the power of the KP.
Korean gangs are not like the large criminal syndicates with hundreds of members, all armed, depicted in Hollywood movies.
In fact, most Korean gangs, such as KK (Korean Killers), Gee Kim, or KKangpage, are actually small gangs, with only a few dozen people, at most a hundred or so, and their territory is just a few streets.
KP consists of three streets, from 31st Street to 33rd Street.
KK's territory consists of only one street, 32nd Street, which is the birthplace of Koreatown, and it is jointly governed with KP.
However, KK occupied the Fifth Avenue-Broadway area and extended into Flushing, Queens, where it was very profitable.
GeeKim mainly operates in Midtown, and has a street in Jackson Heights, Queens, that mainly runs underground casinos and massage parlors; as for KKangpage, it is a branch of a gang originating from South Korea.
Their business scope included transnational human smuggling and prostitution.
The group mainly consists of women from South Korea, but also includes Vietnamese, Japanese, and other ethnic groups, as well as some Black people.
The event will take place at SQ venue in Flushing's Koreatown!
Roger went there and said the service was excellent and the girls were great too.
But the original owner had never been there.
"How did you come up with the idea of opening a branch on Sixth Avenue, Senior Brother?"
"It's all because of those Koreans!" Tong Zhen said resentfully on the phone. "My senior brother said that in the past few years, those Koreans have opened a lot of Taekwondo gyms in Chinatown, and then shamelessly claimed that they were establishing themselves in Chinatown, that Chinese Kung Fu was no good, and that they had taken away many of our students."
"Damn it! They were the ones who said, 'It's a new era, no more fighting, let's make money peacefully.' Master and the others were soft-hearted, and besides, the old rules of challenging others to dojos aren't popular anymore—and they've gotten away with it!"
Xu Shengjie fell silent.
He did know the rules for opening martial arts schools in Chinatown in the past.
A challenge, and a challenge that not only determines who is better but also decides life or death.
Every martial arts school that establishes itself in Chinatown has to go through a fierce battle.
If you win, you'll have a foothold.
If you lose, get out!
This rule was mainly prevalent in the 1960s and 70s.
After the 1980s, this rule became much more lenient.
"My senior brother thinks that if Kou can go, so can I—"
"Then you'd better remind your senior brother that the Koreans aren't rule-abiding people."
If you're going to fight, fight them to the death; don't hold back. It'll just be a matter of paying compensation, but if you show mercy, they'll become even more arrogant.
Those guys have no sense of morality whatsoever.
In addition, Jin Zhongyuan wanted to leverage Chinatown's influence to get money!
This is America, where money reigns supreme. Don't be foolish enough to help someone just because they say a few sweet words; you'll definitely suffer the consequences.
Tong Zhen chuckled on the phone.
"Senior Brother, did you hear that?"
"Is the eldest brother here too?"
"Little Twelve, who did you just call stupid?"
"I----"
"However, you're not wrong, I almost fell for it."
I've made an appointment with the Taekwondo gym on Sixth Avenue next Friday; we're just going to have a friendly match. But you're right, I need to be careful so those Koreans don't take advantage of me. So, how much do you think I should ask Kim Jung-won for?
Woodward wasn't angry; he asked calmly.
"Let's see how much KP earns in a year."
Sally's agent wants 15% of her earnings. I think 20% is reasonable—but they won't agree, so they're just dragging it out. Senior Brother, it's Kim Jung-won who's anxious; you need to sit back and wait, the main character will appear last.
"Hahaha, you're really something else, kid."
Tong Zhen, standing nearby, burst into laughter.
"Little Twelve has now developed some of the air of a ruthless hero."
"I see!"
Woodward then changed the subject.
He explained the situation at the internet cafe, and that Tong Zhen had brought a Microsoft contract with her when she returned.
That's right, it's Microsoft!
Xu Shengjie only knew that Tong Zhen worked in Seattle, but he didn't know that she was now a software engineer at Microsoft and had participated in the design of Windows 95. Now, Windows 95 has been successfully developed and will be released in December.
Hearing that her senior brother was going to set up an internet cafe, Tong Zhen applied to her superiors to conduct system testing in advance.
Microsoft must have conducted countless tests internally.
However, internal testing and user testing are two different things.
At this time in the United States, computer users were not yet widespread, and were mainly concentrated among the elite.
However, Mr. Bill wanted to promote the software to the general public, so user testing was essential. Fortunately, Xu Shengjie was opening an internet cafe, which would cater to countless ordinary users. Therefore, Microsoft provided 300 sets of the test software and a sponsorship of up to one million US dollars, hoping to receive timely feedback and obtain more information about the software.
"So, the eldest brother has already earned a million dollars before even opening his business?"
Xu Shengjie couldn't help but sigh, "It still depends on cooperating with big companies. If Bill Gates just slips a little through his fingers, ordinary people can make a fortune. Senior brother, I have another suggestion for you: go and recruit a few computer science students."
The more information we provide by having them work as engineers in various internet cafes, the more we earn.
Jenna, I wasn't wrong, was I?
Tong Zhen didn't answer, but instead laughed to her senior brother Woodward on the phone: "You know what, Little Twelve has really grown up!"
