1928: The rise of giant merchants

It was past 8pm when I left the French Consulate General in Shanghai.

Ye Luo didn't hesitate and asked Cao Fan to drive to the Ye's Industrial Park where work had been suspended.

The guard at the door saw the license plate and immediately waved to let him through. He stood at attention and saluted as he watched the Rolls-Royce Phantom enter the park.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Ye Luo introduced the general layout of the industrial park to Shi Jianqiao and Cao Fan.

When he heard that the second young master actually built a dormitory building and canteen specifically for the workers, Cao Fan was shocked: "This is better than our original military camp. It makes me want to work in it."

"Haha, the best thing about Ye Luo is my money." Ye Luo asked him to park the car directly in front of a relatively remote dormitory building, which was a separate residence arranged by Ye Hao for Heng San and others.

Considering that this group of soldiers had extraordinary fighting prowess and did not know the local workers in the park, allowing them to live together rashly would easily lead to disputes, so Ye Hao allocated a separate dormitory building for them.

The three of them came to the door and found that there were still people standing guard outside.

Cao Fan excitedly walked up to say hello: "Brother Qi, why are you standing at the door?"

"It's a guard post, I'm used to it." Brother Qi smiled at him, then hurriedly saluted Ye Luo and Shi Jianqiao, "Second Young Master, eldest lady, good evening."

Ye Luo nodded at him, and then the three of them went upstairs.

This group of military men were chatting around the dormitory of Hengsan and others. They were obviously very satisfied with their new life. When they saw Ye Luo and three others coming in, they quickly stood up and saluted.

Ye Luo didn't hesitate and told them directly about Fan Erdi being kidnapped by Wu Shikui.

Fortunately, Fan Juli was also kidnapped together. Otherwise, if the water bandits and the French didn't understand each other's language, they would have killed Verdy if they got upset, and something big would have happened.

"How is Wu Shikui?" Ye Luo asked.

Hengsan frowned and replied: "I met him during the Northern Expedition and had a close friendship. At that time, he was very decent and had more seniority in the army than me. After the Eleventh Army was disbanded, he led He led a group of brothers to become water bandits in Taihu Lake. I went to hang out with him last year, and his people were much better than other water bandits. They were similar to us, they were all big-headed soldiers who were forced into desperation and had nowhere to go."

"Then you take someone there and bring the Verdi couple back safely. This matter is of great importance. I will satisfy you whatever you want." Ye Luo looked at him and said every word.

"Okay! The second young master saved our lives. For this small matter, we should go all out!" Heng San patted his chest, "I need about six brothers to join me, and each one is equipped with a gun. As for the five Wan Dayang, that’s not necessary. Based on my friendship with him, as long as I ask, he will definitely agree.”

"Okay, whatever you want, tell the managers of Ye's Security Company in the park. If they can't approve it, just go to my elder brother and say it's what I want. I'll give you guns, people, cars, and money." It's just 50,000 yuan. If Wu Shikui's people are decent enough and have no criminal record or problems, let's see if we can secretly recruit him."

Ye Luo smiled at him and said,

"If there is a problem, I will approach the security headquarters and send troops to directly encircle and suppress it."

"Yes, Second Young Master." Hengsan was shocked when he heard about the security headquarters. That was where the 32nd Army, the most elite force in the National Army, was stationed!

Not to mention a group of Taihu water bandits, even if they were all, they could easily capture them.

I didn’t expect that the second young master could mobilize people from the security headquarters!

"By the way, Second Young Master, this is the check." Heng San took out the crumpled check with no number filled in from his pocket.

Ye Luo waved his hand: "Take it, fill in the numbers as you like, and treat it as the overtime pay I gave you for this business trip."

"This" Hengsan and the others were both embarrassed and really reluctant to part with this check.

"Take it, the second young master sticks to his word and never breaks his word." Shi Jianqiao said to them calmly.

The eldest lady gave it to the family, and they immediately collected the check. With so much money, they would be able to have it when their family members came to go to the beach.

After chatting, Ye Luo saw that it was getting late, so he stopped disturbing and left the dormitory building with Shi Jianqiao and Cao Fan.

Tonight, Ye Luo did not go back to Ye Mansion to rest, nor did he go to No. 32 Xiafei Road. Instead, he rested in Lin Ruxian's boudoir.

When he saw a graceful and sexy woman walking out of the bungalow at No. 31 Xiafei Road, a woman he didn't recognize, Cao Fan immediately shut up smartly and did his duty as a driver.

He knew that if he kept driving for the second young master in the future, he would be exposed to more and more of the second young master's private secrets. This could be a good thing or a disaster, depending on how he behaved.

"Why did my brother have time to see me today?" Lin Ruxian held his arm and chuckled softly, "I thought you had forgotten about me, an old lady."

"How is that possible?" Ye Luo hugged her slender waist and walked up to the second floor and entered her boudoir.

A faint fragrance reaches the tip of the nose.

"Sister-in-law, how is the business of Great World and the film company recently?" Ye Luo picked up three sticks of incense and bowed to Jing Ruishan's black and white photo.

"The big world is gradually stabilizing. I estimate that it will not be a problem to make more than 500,000 yuan a month. As for the film company, Burning the Red Lotus Temple is estimated to have eighteen episodes. Now the eighth episode has been filmed and the sixth episode has been released. It’s almost as you estimated. A set of films can earn over 100,000 yuan for the first screening. Once the films are sent to other cities in the north and south, the income will be doubled several times. One film is guaranteed to earn 1 million. Ocean!"

Lin Ruxian took off her shawl, leaving only her nightgown as thin as silk. She opened a bottle of red wine from the bedside table and poured a glass for Ye Luo and herself. She didn't drink, and her face was already slightly drunk.

One million oceans.

She still finds it incredible when she thinks about it now.

There are so many people in Jing Ruishan's family who are making a fuss over the new world he left behind, which is only a mere 300,000 yuan.

Zhang Wanlin suffered a big loss at the hands of Ye Luo, so he apologized and paid nearly one million oceans in compensation.

No matter how early Ye Luo was in the car business, the Chevrolet 490 that made a sensation in Shanghai would only make a total profit of one million oceans!

No wonder he said that the film entertainment industry will be a cash cow that everyone ignores!

Before Ye Luo entered the film industry, the income of those small stars was not as good as that of the dancers in the ballroom, and the bosses of the film companies had to rely on the tycoons.

Now Zhang Shichuan and others have become some of the richest Chinese in Shanghai thanks to Yip's Film Company!

This was all brought to them by Ye Luo.

"Well, it's not bad." Ye Luo took the red wine, first touched it lightly on Lin Ruxian's lips, then took a sip of the wine and said with a smile, "I may draw a lot of money from the company in a while, my sister-in-law won't mind. Bar?"

"Do I mind if it's useful? Humph." Lin Ruxian chuckled and poked his shoulder with her fist, "But if you really want to steal other people's money, you have to make some compensation, right?"

"Haha, I recently won the distribution rights of Tadpole Wax. From now on, I will leave the business of this company to you, sister-in-law. How about it?" Ye Luo smiled.

Lin Ruxian didn't know what tadpole chewing wax was, but as long as it was given by Ye Luo, she would want it!

She thinks it’s good!

"It's good, but it's just not enough." Lin Rushian looked at him with charming eyes.

"Not enough?" Ye Luo was stunned.

My sister-in-law doesn’t know how profitable Coca-Cola is. In the future, generations of her family will not have to worry about food and clothing thanks to this company.

"Yes, the top is enough, but the bottom is not enough." Lin Ruxian nodded seriously.

Ye Luo smiled, reached out to untie her nightgown, and raised her two slender legs high.
