Mr. Wong's Launderette: Difference between revisions

'''Mr. Wong's Launderette''', also known as '''Mr. Wong's Laundromat''', is a laundromat located in the [[Chinatown, Portland Island|Chinatown]] district of [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto III]] and [[Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories]], and the [[Schottler]] district of [[Liberty City in GTA IV|Liberty City]] in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]. Their slogan is always printed on their vans, which reads "If It Ain't Wong, It Ain't White" which is a possible reference to the saying "If it ain't wrong, it ain't right" and also means that Wong's Launderette specializes in cleaning clothes. The Chinese characters "黃=白" is meant to be interpreted as "Wong = white," but if translated literally it would be "yellow = white."

The store is owned and operated by [[Mr. Wong]] and the [[Portland Island Triads|Triads]]. Initially, it payed protection to the [[Leone Family]] but stopped paying its protection money and began paying to the Triads. After a Triad ambush, [[Toni Cipriani]] sends [[Claude]] to destroy their laundry vans. This forced them to begin paying the Leones again. Toni, sensing a trap, does not trust the launderette and sends Claude to pick up the money to be cautious. Behind the launderette, Claude picks up the payment, but is ambushed by Triad goons. After killing the Triads and escaping this skirmish, the Leones and the Triads go to war. It is unclear whether or not they began paying the Leones after the Triads lose the war and [[Salvatore Leone]]'s subsequent death. The launderette had a fleet of [[Mr. Wongs|laundry vans]] seen during the mission "[[Taking Out the Laundry]]" but other than that the launderette only has one van parked behind their business.
