1928: The rise of giant merchants

Chapter 553 The principal wants to reconcile with the second young master

On the third day after Zhang Qun and Bai Xiongqi set off for Beidaihe, the deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce of the Jinling National Government suddenly came to Shanghai and visited Ye Luo.

The other party directly explained the purpose of their visit and was willing to let the three new products recently launched by Yeluo be widely publicized in the south, and the principal would personally drive them to encourage people and officials to buy and use them.

Moreover, the principal also said that he would hold a private dance, but the nature of the dance would be different from before. The attendees would all be high-ranking officials of the Kuomintang Party and their families. The female family members would all wear new cheongsams and make charitable donations after the dance. The donations would eventually be handed over to To Yip's Charitable Foundation for various disaster relief and assistance.

Ye Luo listened happily and understood the principal's goodwill and determination for complete reconciliation.

The principal himself hates dancing. Not to mention dance parties, there are no dance halls openly opened in the Jinling area. If officials want to dance, they either go to neighboring counties or go to underground dance halls. It is like meeting with an underground organization for fear of offending the principal. .

Only the principal's wife dared to hold various social dances in her family's villa or bungalow, but that was usually when the principal left Jinling. If she did this in front of him, she would inevitably get scolded, and she would not be happy dancing in the end.

Now, in order to express his goodwill, the principal took the initiative to hold a dance, and also asked the female family members to wear cheongsams of Ye's clothing, and made donations after the meeting. This was all to give Ye Luo face.

The dignified deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce came to Ye Mansion like a horse boy to deliver a message to the principal, and also warmly invited Ye Luo and Bai Xiuzhu to attend the dance next month. This matter can also be recorded in the history books!

As for why the deputy minister came instead of the minister.

Because the minister was Kong Xiangxi, Lao Kong and Ye Luo refused to deal with each other due to various business disputes. Even after the U.S. stock bubble burst, he took a look at Ye Luogao and took it seriously. However, the natural contradiction was irreconcilable and he would not lose face. Ask for Ye Luo.

After the deputy minister left, the principal's secretary Chen Brai came over to discuss with Ye Luo the operation and authority of Ye's newspaper in Shanghai and the south.

Chen Brai was the principal's official scholar. In the early days of the Anti-Japanese War, the principal made a famous declaration: "If the war breaks out, the land will be divided into north and south, old and young. Everyone has the responsibility to defend the land and resist the war." This is This passage was written by Chen Builei.

He and Xiao Tongzi before him were the two big bosses who later controlled the KMT literary circles and the domestic media industry. However, Chen Brai was more of a behind-the-scenes voice for the principal, while Xiao Tongzi was at the forefront, expanding territory.

Now Xiao Tongzi is just the secretary of the Minister of Propaganda, and he has just experienced the embarrassing incident of working with Wu Tiecheng to persuade Zhang Hanqing to no avail. In the eyes of the principal, his weight is probably far less than that of his secretary Chen Bui, so Chen Bui naturally has to deal with this kind of thing. Come forward and speak for yourself.

What Chen Bulei conveyed was the principal's intention, and his tolerance for Ye's newspaper industry can be said to be extremely high.

Previously, the "Crescent" newspaper published several articles complaining about Hu Shi, but was censored and ordered to cease operation. This is the case for most newspapers set up by literati. They must not do anything that violates the prohibition. It can be said that speech is strictly controlled.

Even newspapers and declarations suffered greatly, and were often harassed by the publicity department of the city hall. This one was not good, that one was not good, and the release date was always delayed, making the public complain.

Shi Liangcai and the two sold a lot of shares in the two major newspapers to Ye Luo. Knowing that one of the bosses behind the two major newspapers was Ye Luo, the Propaganda Department restrained themselves a little.

This time, Chen Bulei said that as long as there are no problems of principle, Ye's newspaper business will be unimpeded. All he needs to do is add "the leadership at the party seat is under the guidance of Mr. Sun's Three People's Principles" in front of any publication.

This means everything is arbitrary.

Because in today’s publications, this sentence is basically mandatory, and everyone understands it tacitly.

"New Moon" was also added before, it should be over or over.

In addition, various books and magazines under the Yip's Newspaper Group have appeared one after another in the major party-run bookstores of the Kuomintang. There are even various comments and praises on private newspapers such as Liangyou Pictorial in official publications. Anyone with a discerning eye can see You know that Ye's newspaper industry has received strong support from the Jinling National Government. In the future, the newspaper industry will be dominated by Ye Luo!

The funniest thing is that Chen Zhengde, who had angrily criticized Ye Luo because of the ballroom incident, actually wrote an article in his "Republic of China Daily" calling Ye Luo "the number one businessman in the country". He is far-sighted in all kinds of business and is an extraordinary businessman. In comparison, he is the country's businessman and the country's great talent, unparalleled in the world.

He even invited Ye Luo to the party headquarters of the city hall to give a speech on business knowledge, so that everyone could be inspired.

At this time, in the Ye Mansion, Ye Luo was drinking tea made by his little mother and reading the "Republic of China Daily". The articles in this newspaper made him want to praise himself to the sky. It was completely impossible to tell that Chen Zhengde and Ye Luo had a writing war. contradiction.

"These people from the Kuomintang are really helpless. In the past, the situation was tense. When Aluo was away, they would come to our house every day to find trouble. That man named Dai Li even wanted to rush into our house to arrest people. Now it's better, so Aluo is They are like their ancestors." Li Shuting, the second concubine who was playing mahjong, complained, and then suddenly pushed down the cards, "Hey, eh, 30,000, what a fool! Give money, give money, Xiaodong fires, 20 oceans, Mei Ying and Ah Ruan It’s ten yuan per person.”

After being lectured by Ye Luo last time, the earliest mahjong foursome has been disbanded.

Ye Qingqing, Xiaoma, Xiao Aqiao, Zhang Anyi, Tang Ying, Lu Xiaoman, Feng Chengcheng, Hu Die and others rarely appear here anymore. They are all busy with their own careers. However, Li Shuting, the second mother who has never participated in the investment and operation of Ye's, picked up again. I started my mahjong journey with my new sisters.

Li Shuting used to be a lady from a scholarly family. She actually had great vision and ability. However, in order not to steal the limelight from the big family and because she was in an awkward position, she always played the role of Li Shuzhen's killer.

Now that Li Shuzhen and Ye Yuqiao go out often, she has become the veritable internal affairs manager of Ye Mansion.

For these newcomers, she taught them various Ye family rules by playing mahjong, and at the same time gave them tips on how to live in this big family.

Ye Luo watched it a few times and felt that the second mother was indeed good at this, so she stopped caring about it.

On the other hand, Ruan Lingyu, a big star, is always caught out because there are not enough players to play poker, and then she loses money as soon as she comes, which is miserable.

Mahjong has become a fine tradition of the Ye family, and it seems that it must be inherited from generation to generation.

Ye Luo looked at the children Xiaoli was holding and holding. Ye Zhuohua's little head kept looking secretly, and he was obviously interested in the mahjong tiles.

I heard that when he was one year old, the little guy just clung to the mahjong tiles and wouldn't let go. His mother was so angry that she beat her up.

"Second Young Master, there is a boss named Luo Mingyou who wants to see you." The old butler Xie Fu came over and said. (End of chapter)
