1928: The rise of giant merchants

At 8 a.m. on November 8, Ye Luo and his party returned to Shanghai successfully.

Before leaving the Song Mansion, he specially sent a telegram back to the Ye Mansion. Therefore, at 6 o'clock in the morning, a bunch of black Chevrolet 490s were already crowded in front of the train station platform.

"Welcome the second young master back to Shanghai!" The top hats in suits stood up straight and took off their hats and bowed with great momentum, which made many passengers who had just arrived in Shanghai scream in surprise.

The former group of top men in suits who were most loyal to the Ye's Labor Federation were reborn in the Ye's Security Company and were managed by Ye Hao into a semi-military professional force.

Ye Hao knew that Ye Luo looked down on gangsters, but doing business always required a certain amount of armed force to protect him, and his brother was the fastest gun in Ye Luo's hand!

In order to run Ye's Security Company well, Ye Hao, who was once unkempt, took the initiative to go to night school at St. John's University to study management, economics, law, foreign literature, etc., and worked hard to package himself into a suit thug.

With his efforts, Ye's Security Company also stood out from a group of gangs. Its discipline, organization and practical capabilities even surpassed those of the Songhu Police Department and Patrol Room. The only difference is that everyone cannot be equipped with a gun. Most of the staff carry knives and rarely use guns.

As Jingwu Sports Club was gradually incorporated into Ye's Sports Company, another security force formed by Ye Luo was also sprouting.

In his mind, if Ye's Security Company can be compared to an army, then Ye's Sports Company is a special force, which contains elites who have been screened and tested at all levels, and will be one of his strongest armed forces in the future.

"Aluo, how are you doing with Jinling?" Ye Hao came up and gave Ye Luo a big hug.

Ye Luo asked him to get into his Rolls-Royce together, with Cao Fan driving the car, Shi Jianqiao sitting in the passenger seat, and Hengsan and others getting into the Ford V8s closest to the Rolls-Royce.

"It's hard to describe in one sentence, but overall it's still very rewarding." Ye Luo explained in detail what Jinling had seen in the past few days.

The smoking ban will most likely become an empty slogan again, and with the approach of tariff independence, Song Ziwen's methods of amassing money have become increasingly unscrupulous.

The tax police group that he is most concerned about is probably also under intensive preparation. This time the German military advisers' visit to China is of particular concern to him.

"How are you going to deal with Jiang Keting's business? Song Ziwen is not doing this with good intentions. If something goes wrong, you and Jiang Keting will take the blame, but he will be fine. As for the mere 15% profit, who cares?"

Ye Hao frowned. Even he could feel the fishiness inside. Ye Luo must have known better. Even so, he still accepted this business because he must have a perfect plan.

"I don't want to do this business either, but if I offend Song Ziwen, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back from Jinling intact." Ye Luo sighed. In Shanghai, he had the courage to refuse everyone's unreasonable demands, but in Jinling, That was someone else's territory, and he, a dragon crossing the river, still had to be afraid of local snakes.

"As for this business, I have plans, but I can't say anything yet." Ye Luo smiled mysteriously.

"Okay! Anyway, if anything happens, just tell me directly. I have thousands of brothers. Even if I go to Yongxing Company, I can still kill him in one round!" Ye Hao laughed and patted him on the shoulder. Taking out his cigarette, he suddenly remembered something and said quickly, "Oh, by the way, a young man named Xu Wenqiang came to the company with the business card you gave him, but he didn't enter the company. He just said that he was very grateful for your help. If you come to him with important matters, you will not hesitate to go through fire and water."

"I can see that this young man has strength and determination." Ye Hao added.

Ye Luo was stunned for a moment, then asked: "Then where did he go?"

"I heard that he went to be Feng Jingyao's younger brother." Ye Hao also looked confused.

The Ye family is more than a little bit better than the Feng family. Several of Ye Luo's confidants are now powerful and well-known in Shanghai.

Xu Wenqiang is still a student in Peking, so his horizons should not be low.

Hearing that it was the Feng family, Ye Luo could only sigh slightly.

The wheel of history is like this sometimes. It cannot be turned around at will by just one or two small things.

After all, Xu Wenqiang couldn't worry about his childhood sweetheart Fang Yanyun who had long been a "sandwich puff", so he went to Feng's house.

In this way, he, Feng Chengcheng and Feng Jingyao would get on the line again, but he didn't know whether the ending would still be tragic this time.

"Oh, by the way, you saved Fan Erdi last time, and the ghost guy also promised not to expropriate the land of Chen's gauze factory. For this, Boss Chen personally came to give gifts to thank you, but you haven't been here these days, and I have all the things piled up at home. Come and take a look when you have time. Speaking of which, Chen Lianshan’s son Chen Hanlin and Xu Wenqiang are close friends, and Xu Wenqiang lives in the Chen family temporarily. He should know what Feng Jingyao is, so it’s strange that he is willing to help him. "

From Ye Hao's perspective, Xu Wenqiang is inevitably a bit suspected of "recognizing thieves as his father", which is a big demerit for him.

In fact, the young Xu Wenqiang has not completely gotten rid of the dog-licking mentality, and he has certain ambitions and capabilities. He hopes to use Feng Jingyao's company to slowly climb up the ladder.

"What happened to the previous investigations?"

This is Ye Luo's biggest concern.

He must confirm whether the three tycoons of Yongxing Company are really doing cigarette business with Edward Sassoon.

"Everything is clear. I have to thank Ye Chen for this." Ye Hao's mouth turned up slightly, "Originally, those three old bastards from Yongxing Company were hiding very deep. Our people are really not good at it. I found some clues for a while, but I didn’t expect that Ye Chen, a white-eyed wolf, came to me yesterday and said something very interesting."

"Oh? What's the matter?" Ye Luo became interested.

Ye Hao looked at him and gave a thumbs up first: "Brother, I have to admire your smart mind. Do you still remember that you asked me to pay close attention to the Jiang'an wheel auction a while ago?"

"of course I remember."

"The China Shipping Merchants Company transferred the no longer used Jiang'an cargo ship to a small company under Sassoon \u0026 Co., Ltd. for a price of 1.2 million oceans. This layer of skin was covered with at least five layers. If we hadn't been in Shanghai with our hands and eyes, we wouldn't have been able to I really can’t find out that the Sassoon family is the manipulator behind this.”

"The Jiangan ship went to sea a few days ago. It is said that its destination is India. And accompanying it was a large number of people from the New Labor Federation." Ye Hao said with a smile, "Yesterday, Ye Chen came to me mysteriously and went out of his way to I told you to avoid eyes, ears and everyone, so I can only inform you about this. What do you think it is?"

Shi Jianqiao and Cao Fan in the front row also became curious and pricked up their ears.

Cao Fan felt itchy in his heart, but he knew that after hearing so many secrets, he was afraid that he would never have the chance to return to the dormitory in the industrial park to eat and live with his brothers.

He also knows that recently is the best opportunity to show off in front of the second young master. If he does it well, he will not have to worry about it in the future.

If it is not done well.

He drove with all his energy and no longer paid attention to every move in the back seat.

Ye Hao looked at Ye Luo and deliberately kept it secret, thinking that he would also be shocked. Unexpectedly, Ye Luo revealed the matter as soon as he spoke!

"The destination of the Jiang'an ship is India. I'm afraid it's not to secretly transport the tobacco grown there by the Sassoon family to Shanghai." Ye Luo laughed loudly, "I guess, these goods are not sold to Yongtang. Are you a company founder?"

"I'm so boring!" Ye Hao felt uncomfortable.

I thought Ye Luo would be surprised, but he guessed everything.

Shi Jianqiao, who was in the front row, was shocked.

She accompanied Ye Luo throughout this incident and saw everything clearly.

The second young master had obviously guessed this move before the incident happened, and planned it step by step to get Yongxing Company into his trap!

The second young master knows things like a god!

This was the first reaction that came to her heart!

"All three people bought it?" Ye Luo asked.

Ye Hao nodded slightly: "I bought them all. But the specific quality and quantity are not clear. I only know that they hid it from each other."

This is exactly the same as Ye Luo and Xiao Aqiao's speculation.

Obviously Huo Tianhong bought higher quality goods and had to pay more.

As the Jiang'an ship went to sea, Huo Tianhong could no longer hold it in any longer and needed to raise funds as soon as possible. He had to sell those factories to himself at a low price.

"There is something very interesting. You must not have guessed it, A Luo." Ye Hao suddenly laughed.

Ye Luo looked at him curiously.

"Ye Chen is Lu Yusheng's man."
