1928: The rise of giant merchants

"Be good, have a good rest. When you get better, I will spend a few days alone with you." Ye Luo picked up Xiao Aqiao's hot body and stuffed it back into the quilt.

"Okay! Then we have an appointment. Then I want you to accompany me to play billiards, ride horses, and watch movies." Xiao A quietly snuggled into his arms, yawning again and again, probably because the medicine was taking effect, as he talked. Then he fell into a deep sleep.

Listening to Xiao A's faint breathing, Ye Luo gently covered her with the quilt, finally lit a cigarette, and looked at her carefully while smoking.

A smoke ring was blown out, rising slowly, getting bigger, and then dissipated.

Ten years ago, when he was only twelve years old, he accidentally fell in love with the sixteen-year-old A Qiao among a group of refugees at Shiliupu Pier.

At that time, she was still a hungry girl who escaped from the north and smuggled herself to Shanghai with no clothes on her body.

"Master, my name is Shu Qiao. I can read. As long as I have food to eat, I can wash, cook and mop the floor. I am willing to do anything!"

Among a large number of smuggled refugees, Xiao Aqiao stood out instantly because of his clear articulation, clear thinking, and rather tall figure.

It wasn't until she washed herself clean and briefly talked about her own experience that Ye Luo realized that she only spent 10 oceans to buy the future Shanghai Beach, helping the three tycoons to gain a foothold and create the Qinggang, the largest gang in Shanghai. The eldest sister - little Aqiao.

Without Ye Luo, Xiao Aqiao would have become the official wife of Huo Tianhong, the leader of the three tycoons, and then resolutely chose to divorce when Huo Tianhong wanted to take the famous Shanghai actress Lu Lanchun as his concubine, and run the Qinggang alone.

After this incident, Ye Luo also realized that what he did after time travel could produce a certain butterfly effect.

However, the general trend of history is like a rolling torrent, and it will not be deflected just because of the changes of one or two people.

All Ye Luo can do is try his best to protect the people around him and save enough capital to deal with the major war in a few years.

He wants to be a giant businessman in the Republic of China. He is not only a wealthy person with a large amount of capital, but also a world-famous businessman who aspires to the top of the business world!

He wants to become a real world business tycoon.

They are not the kind that the so-called tycoons in Shanghai think, who can only live in a corner and act based on the expressions of foreigners and warlords. They have money but no personality.

This goal had been quietly set in his heart at the beginning of his time travel.

During the six years he spent studying abroad in the United States and the United Kingdom, Ye Luoke was not idle. He had been secretly developing his network of contacts and accumulating initial capital.

Everyone thought that the second young master of the Ye family had returned from studying abroad and was ready to start a new life.

In fact, his new life had quietly begun six years ago.

A complete plan for building a business empire lay very clearly in his mind.

He reached out and gently placed his hand on Xiao A'Qian's forehead. Feeling that the heat had subsided, Ye Luo stood up with relief, carefully exited the room, and closed the door.

Xue Leng, who was waiting at the door, smiled at him: "Second Young Master, please walk slowly."

"Well, when little Ah Qiao wakes up, tell her that I will come see her tomorrow." Ye Luo nodded and walked downstairs.

"Yes, Second Young Master." Xue Leng responded.

Ye Luo walked to the first floor, and Hua Mei, who was responsible for attracting customers, immediately came up to him: "Second Young Master, are you leaving? How about Mei'er calling some sisters to drink tea with you?"

"No, I have something to do later." Ye Luo shook his head, hugged Hua Mei's slender waist and walked out, "Mei'er, ask someone to give me a copy of Fengming House's account books for the past six years tonight. .”

"Mei'er understands. Second Young Master, please go slowly." Hua Mei walked him all the way to the car, then reluctantly waved her paper fan and said goodbye.

Majestic Hotel, ballroom.

Lu Yusheng held a short RB dancer in his arms and spun around in the middle of the dance floor to the music.

He moved his hands up and down without any scruples, just like an old gangster.

Nowadays, dance halls are not common among civilians, and only a few top hotels have dance halls.

Most of the dancers inside are foreigners, especially RB people.

Most of these R\u0026B women are wandering women from R\u0026B to big cities such as Shanghai to make money. Many of them even met celebrities through such large social dances, and secretly became the lovers of the rich and powerful.

Most of the other men on the dance floor had their arms around the foreign dancers, doing many indescribable things under the flickering lights.

"Third brother, I heard that you were tricked by that little red guy from the Ye family this afternoon?" Zhang Wanlin, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes and a burly figure, also hugged a RB dancer and moved towards Lu Yusheng with stiff dance steps.

"Hmph, there is always a chance to get it back." Lu Yusheng stretched out his hand and pinched the dancer's waist hard. When he mentioned Ye Luo, his face couldn't help but darken, "The rise of giant businessmen? Little Chi Guy really thinks that business is so easy to do. "

"He wants to do business? Haha, then Ala Yongxing Company can't take good care of him, Mr. Ye?" Zhang Wanlin grinned. In his early years, he was a youth gang gangster who specialized in loan sharking, knife-cutting, and forcing girls into prostitution. Buy and sell.

He is responsible for all the shady business and small operations of Yongxing Company.

"No rush, wait until the eldest brother comes back to make a decision." Lu Yusheng shook his head. The three brothers each have their own personalities. The eldest brother Huo Tianhong is deep in the city and has ruthless methods. The second brother Zhang Wanlin is courageous and has a dark heart. The third brother has a good business acumen and a wide network of contacts. The three of them had complementary strengths and weaknesses, and they worked together as brothers to make such a big name in Shanghai.

The three brothers have been successful in the business world and the underground world in recent years. Lu Yusheng doesn't think that a mere yellow-haired boy can cause much trouble.

There is no need to be impatient if you crush an ant to death.

Moreover, Huo Tianhong usually makes the final decision on this kind of matter, and he doesn't break the rules.

Now Huo Tianhong has taken people to Jinling, preparing to establish relations with the Jinling National Government. This is the most important event.

"Anyway, third child, you have the brightest mind, and I will listen to you. Just tell me how you want to deal with that little red guy, and I will do it." Zhang Wanlin chuckled. He liked doing this kind of thing the most. Compared with the intrigues in the business world, He prefers to kill directly with a knife, simple and crude!

"Yes. Second brother, when you go back, send a telegram to the eldest brother, telling Hu Die and Ruan Lingyu that I will get it done as soon as possible, so that he can rest assured." Lu Yusheng nodded.

Yes, it is now rumored that Lu Yusheng is attracted by Hu Die, a former famous actress who came to live in seclusion in Shanghai, and Ruan Lingyu, who is now very popular. In fact, it is Huo Tianhong who really likes them.

However, Huo Tianhong's family has a fierce wife, and even Lu Lanchun, the actress he favored a few years ago, dare not marry her as a concubine, so he can only keep her in a big theater outside as his lover.

"I know, I understand." Zhang Wanlin assured him by patting his chest.

"Ha, do business. I want to see what kind of business the little red guy can do? I don't believe there is any other business in Shanghai that can make money besides cigarettes and foreign goods?" Lu Yusheng smiled sadly.

What he wanted was not simply revenge on Ye Luo.

This kind of young man who doesn't know the heights of the world should be praised the most, and then watch him fall the hardest, which is interesting!

The three brothers were more optimistic about the fierce Northern Expedition and were more optimistic about the Jinling side.

If the Jinling warlords can win, things will change.

At that time, Lu Yongxiang, the Zhejiang governor who controls Shanghai Beach, will inevitably be electrified and removed from office.

The biggest supporter is gone.

The Labor Federation, which is at its peak, can also take action!

The calculations in Lu Yusheng's mind were rattling. Seeing that Zhang Wanlin was about to transfer to another place with the dancer in his arms, he lowered his voice and said one last thing: "Second brother, please tell Yu Likui later and ask him to ask the people below to find out about Xiao Chi. What kind of business do you want to do?"

"Okay, it's a trivial matter." Zhang Wanlin's voice gradually faded away.

Seeing Ye Yuqiao, who was also hugging the dancer, slowly approaching, Lu Yusheng changed his smile and turned to him attentively: "President Ye! Nong's dancing is getting more and more chic."
