1928: The rise of giant merchants
Chapter 590 Huixin returns from the United States
A few days after sending little Ah Qiao off to the north at Shanghai Bund Railway Station, Ye Luo took people to Shiliupu Pier to prepare to welcome Huixin and Ye Qingqing who had returned from the United States.
Also accompanying him were Yu Qiaqing, vice president of the Southern General Chamber of Commerce, as well as mayor Zhang Qun and vice mayor Bai Xiongqi.
These three people specially came to greet Huixin, which shows the importance of Huixin in the eyes of the Kuomintang military and political circles.
The first time she came to Shanghai, Huixin came as the heir of the Dewitt Bookett family. At that time, she was known as Rose Dewitt Bookett. She was a famous pregnant widow who caused a stir in all walks of life in the south. After a period of investment in U.S. stocks.
At that time, they all only knew that she came from a wealthy family in the United States, and was engaged in the securities business that everyone envied. Her husband had died, and she had tens of millions of assets in her hands. Countless foreigners and Chinese came to kneel and lick her.
In fact, she was just a Chinese widow who was selected by Ye Luo and once had problems with food and clothing in New York's Chinatown!
And now, for the second time, Huixin is not only the vice president of Livermore Group, but also the only Chinese-American female senator in the U.S. Senate!
In the United States, two houses and one law are the highest organs of power comparable to the power of the president. Among them, the Senate, known as the upper house, gathers the elites of the United States and has greater power.
Considering the current friendly relations between the United States and the Republic of China, Zhang Qun and others would naturally be happy to come over to flatter and gain favor with such a big shot.
"Is this senator really that powerful?" Bai Xiongqi asked Ye Luo in a low voice. It was really difficult to connect the noble lady who came to Shanghai to invest in the beach with the top powerful person.
He did know that Huixin's daughter Li Siye had been fostered in the Ye family. He always felt that this was the child of Ye Luo and Huixin, but the time couldn't match it.
Yu Qiaqing and Zhang Qun also came over to listen.
They don't know much about the power system of the United States, and they also have the party's intention to come to Jiefeng this time.
In short, they try their best to flatter this woman, but they are afraid that they will not be able to flatter her, but will arouse the disgust of the other party.
After all, after the last time she came to Shanghai, Huixin went to the United States with a large amount of money. The stock market business was doing well at first, but later she had conflicts with Ye Luo and the important military and political officials here, and finally parted ways.
Although the result was that Huixin's Hongxing United Group was acquired by the Bank of New York, Ye Luo successfully left, and the military and political officials lost all their money, they felt that Huixin would definitely feel a little bad about the company because of this incident.
This is also the core point that the party leader emphasized in the telegram and asked them to pay attention to -
Don't make this woman angry again.
Because now she is backed by the U.S. government, and she is also the wife of Livermore, the biggest beneficiary of the U.S. stock bubble!
Regardless of the status, it is enough to cause huge waves internationally.
At least on the principal's side, Huixin's importance is much higher than that of Zhang Qun, Bai Xiongqi and others!
"It's not that big." Ye Luo explained with a smile, "In the United States, the power of the president is not absolute. His appointment, dismissal and personnel selection must be approved by both houses. The House of Representatives, which has the larger number of people, has the power to impeach the president, but Whether the impeachment is successful or not depends on the Senate!”
"In addition, the Senate can also influence the appointment and dismissal of the president and the president of the Supreme Court. There are only a hundred such people in the United States. Do you think they have great power?"
Ye Luo glanced at them, the three of them were horrified.
Although one hundred people may seem like a lot, based on the total number of people in the United States, the probability is one in millions.
His natural status and power are much higher than those of the middle and high-level members of the Kuomintang such as Bai Xiongqi and Zhang Qun.
And now the United States is the world's most powerful country, and its most powerful person has a higher status than the leaders of most countries!
For example, in countries such as Japan and South Korea, top leaders must treat U.S. senators with respect when they see them!
After a while, the ship finally arrived in Shanghai.
This ship belongs to the former Steamship Merchants Company, now Ye's Shipping Company, and its tonnage is considered a world-class ship. However, this time it only escorted Hui Xin and a few people, which shows that the Republic of China attaches great importance to her.
Wearing a dress and a gauze hat, the graceful and plump Huixin stepped off the ship step by step.
Behind her, Ye Qingqing and Ye Yuan, who were also dressed in Western styles, also disembarked. Ye Qingqing was holding a pink and jade-carved baby in his arms, which looked to be only four or five months old.
Ye Luo's eyes widened. How come they both had a baby in the United States after not seeing each other for a year?
Have you upgraded to uncle? !
Several people got off the boat, and the reception staff on Zhang Qun's side immediately gathered around to help get their luggage and other items. The young and beautiful Ye Qingqing ran to Ye Luo with the child in her arms, shook the baby's hand and said with a smile: "Look, look, look , Pretty, second brother?”
"Well, boy or girl? How many months have it been?" Ye Luo subconsciously reached out to get the red envelope, but then he realized that it was still outside and stopped quickly.
"Almost six months, girl." Ye Qingqing replied with a smile.
"Congratulations to Miss Third. This child is so beautiful. She looks a bit like the Second Young Master between her eyebrows." Yu Qiaqing also came up to say hello.
"Of course. Didn't you see that Qingqing and A'luo look alike? They are both handsome. It seems that the Ye family has good genes." Bai Xiongqi laughed.
"Mayor Bai, this is not my child, she is Mrs. Livermore's daughter!"
Ye Qingqing blinked his eyes as if his evil plan had succeeded, and said something shocking, which immediately frightened everyone.
Zhang Qun, who was still chatting with Hui Xin over there, almost fell down with fright!
It was not easy for him to strike up a conversation with this aloof lady, but she seemed reluctant to chat with officials from the Republic of China, which made Zhang Qun extremely distressed.
Zhang Qun finally managed to get Huixin, who was always indifferent, to say a few more words, but he didn't expect that something went wrong!
Bai Xiongqi and Yu Qiaqing said that Huixin's daughter looked like Ye Luo, but that was her child with Jesse Livermore. Wasn't this a mockery?
"This, this" Yu Qiaqing, who was always eloquent, was also stuck. Trouble comes from the mouth.
For a moment, he couldn't think of a good way to make up for this loophole, so he had to ask Ye Luo for help with a sad face.
Ye Luo was also surprised and looked at Huixin, but found that she secretly smiled at him cunningly, with her eyebrows full of asking for credit and praise.
It seems that this is really his child.
He and Huixin parted in December 1929, more than a year had passed, and the last time they had sex was on the night of her wedding with Livermore in November.
Calculated the time, about the same.
I just didn't expect Huixin to go through ten months of pregnancy again alone, and even raised her daughter alone until she was almost six months old, without telling me.
"Chairman Yu, Mayor Bai, do you really think Marilyn looks like the second young master?" Huixin walked over, took her daughter from the smirking Ye Qingqing, and looked at the two with a smile on her face.
The two were petrified immediately, feeling that no matter how they answered, it was not right. (End of this chapter)
