1928: The rise of giant merchants

When Ye Luo returned to the car, Bai Xiongqi's last answer was still echoing in his mind.

In his eyes, as both Chinese, the tram driver's life and Bai Xiuzhu's life were not the same. As for whether Bai Xiuzhu would be persecuted by foreigners, Bai Xiongqi didn't think that such a thing would happen when he was in power. Happened on the beach.

However, 37 years later, the Japanese invaders aggressively invaded our territory and implemented the "Three Guangs" policy in many cities. Countless Chinese were persecuted, including some of the upper class who were once at a high level.

Under war, everyone is equal.

Only a true awakening of consciousness can save everyone from the fire and water.

Seeing that Ye Luo looked a little unhappy after getting in the car, Shi Jianqiao asked worriedly: "Second Young Master, could it be that you had a quarrel with Minister Bai?"

"It's not a quarrel, it's just a slight disagreement on some ideas." Ye Luo shook his head and smiled again, "You can take the time to ask Ting En and the others tomorrow about what I told you, and wait until you get an answer. , I’ll invite them to dinner right away.”

"Okay! But in that case, who will be responsible for your safety, Second Young Master?" Shi Jianqiao looked at him doubtfully, "Ali and Yongzhen have gone out, and I'm not too worried about the others."

Ye Luo smiled and replied: "I'm busy with the Jingwu Sports Association and the arena competition these days, so I can just let my eldest brother accompany me around."

"Young Master?" Shi Jianqiao nodded slightly when he heard this and reluctantly agreed to the arrangement.

In her opinion, Ye Hao, like Ye Luo, is a pampered young master whose fighting ability is not as good as those who have lived in the lower class of society. But now there is no better choice. She can only give Ye Hao countless instructions to let Ye Luo remembered to send more people as bodyguards.

When the two returned to Ye Mansion, the mahjong quartet happened to break up. Ye Luo wanted to arrange for Shi Jianqiao and little Aqiao to sleep together. Unexpectedly, his little mother Bi Yunxia intercepted her and abducted Shi Jianqiao. He had to Reluctantly, she pulled Xiao Aqiao back to the room.

In front of Ye Luo, the eldest sister, who is soft on the outside but strong on the inside, will always be as docile and cute as a little girl.

She helped Ye Luo take off his clothes and pants, and while Ye Luo was washing his face, she went to get hot water for washing his feet, preparing to help him wash his feet and rest.

"You spoil me so much. If you are not at home in the future, I will feel uncomfortable." Ye Luo enjoyed the comfort of little Aqiao's delicate hands rubbing her soles, and looked at the graceful figure kneeling in front of him, lowering his head and carefully and patiently washing his feet. Girl, he couldn't help but say, "Now that the dance hall business is stable, don't work so hard and remember to have a good rest."

"Yes, my second young master~" Little Aqiao seemed to be very happy today, with a smile like a flower. She looked up at him. The dimples on her face were very pleasant, and she didn't have the aura of the Iceberg Goddess at all. "Hua Mei and the other four are now four. My dance club is much busier than me. I know you are in a hurry for money, so don’t I want to help you earn more~"

"Baby Qiao'er, how did you know I was in urgent need of money?" Ye Luo stretched out his hands to carry her to bed, but she slapped her hands away with a smile.

"Don't make trouble, let me clean it for you first." Little Aqiao took the foot washing cloth, gently wiped Ye Luo's feet, lowered her head and smiled, "Every time you want to make a big move, you will suddenly do it yourself Now it's business, and you always like to do everything by yourself in the business that you value. You see, in the dance hall and movie business, you like to leave it to everyone to do it together, but this time in the medical business, except for me, I'm afraid there is no one else. How many people know about it?"

"You still understand me best. Come on, you can wash up too." Ye Luo pulled her into his arms, hugged her from behind with his hands, and pressed their cheeks together, "Yes, the business of Longhu Rendan It's our first shot at entering the pharmaceutical industry. If we don't hit it well, subsequent products will be difficult to produce. Medicine is also a very scarce thing in peacetime. Do you think that if we start a war, wouldn't we make a fortune? "

"A war? Where to fight? Who is fighting whom?" Little Aqiao leaned in his arms and kicked off her embroidered shoes, revealing a pair of crystal-clear, beautiful and delicate little feet. She had never bound her feet, and her feet were pink and tender, without any deformities. look.

She is very sensitive to Ye Luo's words and ideas.

That time when she was relaxing, Ye Luo held her in the sky garden of the Great World Amusement Park and said something similar.

Shanghai Beach is great, but in case of war, everyone covets the big fat guy.

Ye Luo played with her delicate feet and whispered: "It's possible for anyone. The principal finally managed to defeat the other warlords, but the National Government is not a one-man show. Those who fought with him did not obey anyone. Coupled with the Han Qing in the north, these forces will finally have a battle. Over in Lu Province, the Japanese invaders are arrogant and domineering, and they may continue to attack. We are now surrounded by enemies from both sides, with internal and external troubles."

"It's really a war, what can we do?" Little Aqiao looked worried, and withdrew her feet from Ye Luo's claws, stuffed them into the hot water basin, and started rubbing them gently.

"Take it one step at a time. First, we must have enough money so that we can do some businesses of substantial use, such as light industry, military industry, medicine, etc. After accumulating enough capital, we can then focus our business on Macau and overseas. Move and add our Ye's Security Company." Ye Luo bit his ears and said, "The future goal is to find ways to weave the business empire around the world, and it cannot be limited to one city or one pool."

"Business empire. It sounds exciting and dreamy." Xiao Aqiao couldn't help but fantasize, with a happy face, "When that day comes, I really don't know what will happen."

The two of them played face to face for a while. After washing her feet, Xiao Aqiao wanted to get up to pour some water, but Ye Luo grabbed her and carried her to bed.

"Let Xiaoli do it tomorrow. We have to do business now." Ye Luo glanced at the clock under the dimly lit desk lamp. It was not yet one o'clock. He reached out to turn off the light, and put his other hand into Xiao Aqiao's vagina with ease. In silk petticoat.

"Brother Luoluo, goodbye."

"Um?"

"I want to tell you something." Little Ah Qiao turned over and got into his arms, her face flushed like a cute little rabbit.

Ye Luo was stunned.

The two of them are considered an old couple in this respect, so why did she suddenly become shy today.

"I haven't been here for a long time." Little Ah Qiao looked at him with her big watery eyes, biting her lip and whispered, "I went to see the doctor this morning. Let's talk about it."

She didn't dare to look at him anymore and buried herself in Ye Luo's arms, her heart pounding wildly.

I didn't want to tell Ye Luo about this so soon.

But today Ye Luo wanted to study the upper and lower structure of the word "kun" with herself. She was worried that this would be bad for the baby in her belly, so she had no choice but to speak out.

"What did the doctor say? Yes?" Ye Luo felt happy, hugged her tightly and asked.

"Yeah, that's right." Little Ah's voice, as thin as a mosquito's chirping, came from under the covers.

Ye Luo hugged her tighter.

"This is a good thing. Why are you looking like this?"

"Ah? Brother Luo, aren't you angry?"

"Why am I angry?"

"Sister Xiu, Xiuzhu hasn't come here yet, but my concubine has it first. The old people say that this situation is unlucky."

"Bah, bah, bah, how could this be unlucky? This is a good thing." Ye Luo looked at her speechlessly. This woman was usually majestic and feared by everyone. How could the eldest sister, who always spoke her mind, be in front of her, even with such feudal superstition? Believe everything?

"In this case, I will contact the best doctor for you tomorrow. You have a good rest these days. I can handle the business matters myself."

During the Republic of China, the probability of miscarriage and child death was very high. The reason was still due to poor hygiene, food safety and medical problems. This not only happened to ordinary families, but also to many upper-class families.

For example, Yu Fengzhi and Zhang Luqi, the third son of Han Qing, unfortunately contracted tuberculosis in 1929 and died in 1931.

Ye Luo didn't want this to happen to him.

"Have a good rest. I'll take care of everything. Don't worry." Ye Luo knew that Xiao Aqiao was most worried about her status, so he simply made a promise to her frankly, "On December 5th, Xiuzhu and I will get married. You will also attend." , I will marry you two and live together."

"Ah? But I... I am the concubine." Little Ah Qiao was a little confused while being happy.

"Who said concubine? I want to marry you as my equal wife." Ye Luo said word by word.
