1928: The rise of giant merchants

When Ye Luo heard the voice on the other side of the microphone, he immediately stretched out his hand and pressed it down, signaling to others not to speak for the time being.

Everyone immediately understood that this call was opened by a big shot that even the second young master had to treat with caution. They all hung up the phones in their hands and quietly exited the office area in an orderly manner.

"Sixth Commander, please don't dismiss me. I'm just making a small fuss. I will accept all your factories before the end of the year, don't worry haha." Ye Luo lit up a cigarette and said to Han Qing with a smile, "What do you think? Come to see me when you have time?"

"Tsk, didn't you say that you are aggressively clearing out the old shareholders of Paramount? As the largest shareholder, I have to call you and beg you to be accommodating, haha." Zhang Hanqing laughed heartily. He was joking. But in fact, he is not a joker. Treating Ye Luo like this now shows that he has recognized this friend in his heart.

To be recognized by the current number one power figure in the north is better than dozens or hundreds of Paramount Ballrooms!

Ye Luo also responded with a smile: "How dare I. I remember asking someone to send a telegram to you. From now on, dividends will be distributed on the 20th of every month. You, the largest shareholder, will definitely get the first share of the money. Why, Could it be that the Sixth Commander can’t trust me and is ready to withdraw his shares?”

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, you boy, you are indeed a master of business. I can't talk to you." Zhang Hanqing chuckled into the microphone and lowered his voice. Yu Fengzhi, who was not far away from him, was very curious, but when he came out, Out of a woman's reserve and respect for her husband, she did not come over to eavesdrop.

"Aluo, I have something I want you to help me with. We two brothers, you can't refuse."

"Sixth Commander, please tell me, as long as I can do my best, I will definitely help you get it done." Ye Luo raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that Zhang Hanqing would one day ask for help from him. It shouldn't be that he wanted to sponsor his troops.

Although he knew the future situation and development, he never thought of throwing his capital on the head of any force. The best thing for people in the military and political circles is to kill the donkey.

If you don't have enough strength in your hands, no matter how good your relationship is, they won't hold back when they try to kill you. They will spare your life at most. That is the best outcome for a fat pig businessman.

To avoid this end, the most important thing is not to get too close to any military or political forces, or to directly board their pirate ships.

The second major thing is to get started quickly, transfer capital and business empire overseas, and build a huge circle of influence overseas.

"No matter how handsome you are, just call me Sixth Brother." Zhang Hanqing's voice became even softer, "Do you still remember the day I went to dance at your Black Cat Ballroom?"

"I understand, Sixth Brother refers to Miss Zhao Si." Ye Luo also lowered his voice.

Zhang Hanqing nodded repeatedly, deeply impressed by him. As expected, only men can understand men.

"Brother Six, it's not convenient for you to tell me, so I'll ask you the answer, and you can tell me yes or no. How about this?"

"Okay, okay." Zhang Hanqing hasn't met someone who understands him so well for a long time.

"Brother Six wants Miss Zhao Si to find you, but due to various reasons you cannot tell her and her family directly."

"yes."

"Brother Six hopes that I can facilitate this good thing and help you bring Miss Zhao Si safely to the Northeast."

"yes."

"Brother Six hopes that Miss Zhao Si will have a legitimate official status to meet you. He doesn't want to have a private tryst and arouse criticism."

"yes!"

"How long does it take for Sixth Brother to see her at the earliest?"

"Is it okay before December? I have important matters in December, and I'm afraid I won't have time to deal with them."

"Okay, then I will try to send her to the Northeast as soon as possible."

"Okay, okay, then it's settled!"

Ye Luo hung up the phone, a faint smile appeared on his face.

He called several people back to the office area, and then asked Shi Jianqiao to inform Xiao Aqiao later, asking her to send someone to bring Miss Zhao Si safely to Shanghai Beach, and then follow the Ye's Charity Foundation's convoy to the Northeast.

As for her identity, that's easy. Just arrange a few consultants from the industries owned by Ye's Investment Company, and she can legitimately have her contact with Zhang Hanqing on behalf of Ye's company.

There is another reason why Ye Luoshun quickly agreed to this matter, that is, Miss Zhao Si is the only "little sister" accepted by Yu Fengzhi. Although she has never had a status and has always been in contact with him as Zhang Hanqing's personal secretary, in fact, Yu Fengzhi She had already acquiesced in her identity as concubine and did not embarrass her much in the future.

If it were any other roadside wildflowers, Ye Luocai didn't want to get involved in Zhang Hanqing's family affairs, lest he get burned and affect his business.

The top priority is to clear out the old shareholders of Paramount as soon as possible, and then investigate the relationship between the three tycoons of Yongxing Company and the "Jiang'an Lun" incident to see if we can set up a game to make them fall into trouble.

Ye Luo stayed in the office area making phone calls throughout the afternoon. Others also saw the workaholic side of the second young master. They were inspired by his words and deeds, and also wanted to work hard to make a career and become a famous figure in Shanghai. .

Before dinner, Ye Luo subconsciously wanted to call for takeout. When he picked up the phone, he remembered that this was during the Republic of China. There was no takeout anywhere. He put down the phone in frustration and called Xue Leng, asking her to prepare and take other employees to a nearby restaurant for dinner. .

He picked up the latest declaration, drank tea and read the newspaper. After a while, he asked Shi Jianqiao to drive him to the train station to pick him up.

Today is the day when Feng Jingyao's only daughter, Feng Chengcheng, comes back from Peiping. He agreed to pick them up for dinner together. During this period, Feng Jingyao also called several times, fearing that the busy second young master would forget about it.

The declarations in the past few days have been overwhelmed by the opening of the new Paramount.

In the past few years, Ye Luo has been investing heavily to support the activities of various paper media and literary people. Over time, even newspapers and newspapers have favored him. Whenever he is published in newspapers, it is mostly a good thing and builds his reputation.

The reason why he has not continued to acquire print media, or even expanded into the literary circle, is because the Jinling National Government is extremely sensitive to this, and every time it cleans up the literary world, it is related to the underground activities of a certain party.

As we all know, there is a deep hatred between the Nationalist Government and a certain party. Anyone who gets involved is seeking death.

However, although Ye Luo failed to develop into this circle, he had a good relationship with celebrities in this circle. For example, Zhou Yucai, Xu Zhimo, Rou Shi, Ba Jin and other talented people living in Shanghai were all his close friends.

After a cursory glance at the declaration, a small piece of news caught Ye Luo's attention.

The news publisher is Watsons Soda Co., Ltd., which wants to solicit new sellers for its overseas best-selling drink "Tadpole Wax".

To put it bluntly, Watsons found that this thing could not be sold at all, and no longer wanted to waste time on it, and was preparing to transfer the sales rights.

Ye Luo glanced at the contact number below and felt that the time had come, so he dialed the number.

The call was answered quickly.

Before anyone spoke, Ye Luo smiled and said, "I am Ye Luo from Ye's Investment Company. I want to buy the domestic distribution rights of Tadpole Wax."
