Description
The Wo Shing Wo is one of the oldest surviving Triad groups, now more than a century old. They have gone through a number of money making methods throughout the years – extortion, drugs, resale of stolen goods, and resale of digital piracy. These days, they run a fairly diversified operation, calling on a bit of everything to keep their revenue stream competitive against the more specialized criminal groups.
They primarily operate in Hong Kong, but they also have a strong presence in mainland China, Japan, Thailand, Australia, Night City, and the British Republic. Many more places still see a smaller influence. The stats above are for each major branch – they all operate mostly independently.
Traditionally the Wo Shing Wo elects a new Dragonhead every two years, but the current holder of the office – One Eye Wei – has been elected three terms in a row.
