1928: The rise of giant merchants

"Second Young Master, our film company does not interfere in the private lives of stars. If you and Ah Ruan are in love, there is no need to do this." Shao Zuiweng said straightforwardly. He knew that Zhang Damin, who had been pestering Ruan Lingyu, was a waste, and it was normal for Ye Luo to take over. .

He glanced sideways at Hu Die again, and it could be seen from her expression that she and Ye Luo also had an inexplicable relationship.

Shao Zuiweng felt quite emotional.

Hu Die and Ruan Lingyu are two giants in the film industry today. They are the dream lovers of countless men. They have countless suitors, but no one is lucky enough to fall in love with them.

Unexpectedly, it was taken down by the same man.

If you submit this as a piece of gossip to a newspaper reporter, you will definitely get a generous reward, and it will also become the headline of the latest news.

Look at Ye Luo again.

Tall, handsome, with a prominent family background and a lot of money, and now he has been selected into the new General Chamber of Commerce Committee established by the National Government. He has entered the ranks of tycoons at a young age. It is no wonder that the two women are fascinated by him.

"Boss Shao, you don't seem to understand what I mean." Ye Luo lit a cigarette and looked at him with a smile, "I want to buy Ah Ruan back from Tianyi Film Company. Miss Hu Die is also mine. I hope you can Don’t continue looking for her to audition. I admire Boss Shao’s ability and personality, so I came here today to seriously discuss business, how to write a contract, and how to compensate me.”

"If Boss Shao insists on not letting him go, I will still take Ah Ruan away, but at the same time, I hope you understand, Boss Shao, that from now on, Tianyi Film Company will not want to continue to have a foothold in Shanghai."

Ye Luo's words are full of intimidation.

It's not that he sounds arrogant, but that he does have the strength and ability.

After Lu Yongxiang ran away, the National Government and foreigners had the final say in Shanghai. The New General Chamber of Commerce Committee was the organization that coordinated and managed the business community. There was no detailed labor law, contract law and commercial regulations. If it really went to court, Ye Luo was not afraid of a fight. Buying Tianyi Film Company.

He was polite before fighting, purely because he did not want to fight too many Chinese businessmen.

As long as he is not a traitor or a lackey of the Japanese invaders, but is just a profit-oriented businessman, Ye Luo will not cut off people and make money and kill them all.

But if the other party insists on blocking his way to make a fortune, Ye Luo will not show mercy.

Ruan Lingyu and Hu Die looked at Ye Luo with worried faces. They thought it was a peaceful business negotiation, but they didn't expect Ye Luo's tone to be so unkind and threaten Shao Zuiweng in person!

This is a giant businessman in the film industry in Shanghai today. Although the film industry is too small to allow Shao Zuiweng to compete with other tycoons, he is still a powerful and wealthy man. How can he be so angry?

Shao Zuiweng took a deep look at Ye Luo and said to Run Run Shao: "Lao Liu, go get Miss Ruan's contract."

"Brother!" Run Run Shaw knew that Ruan Lingyu was the cash cow of his company, with a low salary and extremely high output. He was a perfect model worker and was unwilling to be taken away like this.

Shao Zuiweng glared at him fiercely: "Didn't you hear what I said?"

"I got it." Run Run Run trotted all the way, and soon came back with the contract in hand.

"Boss Shao is very generous, thank you very much." Ye Luo took the contract, handed it to Ruan Lingyu, and then looked at Shao Zuiweng, "How much is the total compensation?"

"Second Young Master, we have accepted three new advertisements and two films for Miss Ruan, plus one film we shot ourselves. The loss is almost 20,000 yuan, liquidated damages of 50,000 yuan, and this month's salary is not even It will be distributed, a total of 70,000 yuan." Shao Zuiweng was afraid that Ye Luo would lower the price, so he called the finance department to reconcile with him.

Tianyi Film Company was founded with a start-up capital of only 10,000 yuan. Ruan Lingyu can generate a buyout value of 70,000 yuan, which is not a loss.

Ruan Lingyu's eyes darkened when she heard the amount. She was about to refuse, but she saw Ye Luo took out his checkbook and wrote down the number in a flash, then handed it over!

"Now that it's settled, I'll take my leave first." Ye Luo stood up and said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, Boss Shao, Yongxing Company is not a good partner. I would like to advise you not to fight with them. Maybe Xiangjiang is Nice place to go.”

Shao Zuiweng smiled and nodded, called for Ye Luo and others to be sent away, and then sat down in his seat with a gloomy expression.

Run Run Shao was young and energetic, and said to him: "Brother! This Ye Xiaoer has gone too far to bully others. Not only did he forcefully buy Ah Ruan and the others away, but he also asked us to leave Shanghai and go to Xiangjiang? Isn't there anyone who can cure him?" "

"Old Liu, sit down and talk." Shao Zuiweng nodded. He had the highest expectations for his sixth brother. Run Run Shao and Ye Luo were similar in age, but compared to each other, the younger brother looked like a dumb kid. "They are just two They are just women, because they offended the second young master of Fengyun Shanghai Beach, this deal is not worthwhile, I am more curious about what he wants to do."

"What else can you do? Look at Ah Ruan's expression and eyes, you may have slept with him many times!" Run Run Shaw also has a good impression of Ruan Lingyu. Unfortunately, Ruan Lingyu has been avoiding men since Zhang Damin.

"Lao Liu! Will you spend 70,000 yuan for a woman? Is Ruan Lingyu worth the money?" Shao Zuiweng scolded him and sighed, "I am still too spoiled by you. At the end of the month, you and Lao San will go to Nanyang together. Let’s work hard and see.”

"Ah? Nanyang." Run Run Shao's face was full of bitterness, but he did not dare to disobey his elder brother, "Okay."

"By the way, we will have less contact with people from Yongxing Company in the future. He is right. After all, those people are not in the same boat as us. They also have a grudge against Ye Luo. If they are angered, we cannot afford to offend the Ye family. ." Shao Zuiweng continued to remind his younger brother.

While the two were talking, Ye Luo and others had already returned to the car.

Only then did Hu Die know that Ye Luo wanted to start his own film company and build a cinema and an amusement park.

Her heart was pounding, Ye Luo spent 70,000 yuan to buy Ah Ruan, what about her?

"Ah Ruan, my company hasn't opened yet, so I paid 70,000 yuan for you first. I won't help you bear this debt." Ye Luo laughed.

Ruan Lingyu responded with a smile: "Okay, I owe the second young master this money first, and I will work for you to repay the debt to the head office in the future."

Seeing that she had regained her former agility, Ye Luo felt relieved, nodded and said with a smile: "Not only will the debt be repaid, but the interest will be calculated according to the bank loan."

"A black-hearted businessman! Humph!" Ruan Lingyu spat with a blushing face.

Seeing that Ye Luo had helped her solve so many troubles, she was actually curious about whether Ye Luo was interested in her, but Ye Luo didn't show any expression at all, which made her feel relieved and disappointed.

"A Ruan, you can't say that about Mr. Ye." Hu Die gently pinched the soft flesh of Ruan Lingyu's waist.

Ruan Lingyu chuckled: "I know, I know, Sister Hu Die is the only one who is willing to sacrifice her life for the second young master."

"Don't talk nonsense, Ah Ruan!" Hu Die blushed and tried to pinch Ruan Lingyu, but she dodged it.

After the atmosphere improved, a smile appeared on Shi Jianqiao's face. For some reason, she became more and more smiling since she followed Ye Luo. It seemed that there was nothing unhappy about her being with him.

"Oh, by the way, Miss Hu Die, are you willing to join my Ye's Film Company? Although it is not open for business, we can reserve a place for you." Ye Luo smiled and looked in the rearview mirror, "You and Ah Ruan's The salary is the same, how about 1,500 oceans a month?"

"1,500 yuan?!" Ruan Lingyu exclaimed, which was more than double what it was in Tianyi.

"Yes, this is a dead salary, and the profit sharing from advertising and films will be calculated separately." Ye Luo doesn't want to make wedding dresses for others after making them famous in the future, so she would rather give up the early profits than tie her into her own boat like Huang Liushuang.

"I do!"

"I do too!"
