1928: The rise of giant merchants

Early the next morning.

Liu Mansion.

Ye Luo took a telegram and ran to Liu Xiang with a smile: "Commander Liu, please read it."

Liu Xiang had just woken up, and his head was still a little dazed. He took the telegram and took a look at it. He was dumbfounded: "It's all in foreign language. I can't understand what was said."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was so excited that I forgot about this." Ye Luo quickly explained, "This is a transoceanic telegram sent from the United States. Not long ago, I asked Mr. Situ Meitang from Hongmen in the United States to I asked him to help Commander Liu find some machinery and equipment to build an arsenal and a power plant, and now we have some ideas.”

"It has now been confirmed that there are several types of generator sets that can be shipped back to China, including 240 kilowatts, 276 kilowatts, and 320 kilowatts. These are equipment that have been eliminated for almost ten years, but in the Republic of China, they are still among the most advanced ones. ”

Ye Luo translated the contents of the telegram and asked Liu Xiang with a smile,

"Which one are you going to buy, Commander Liu?"

"What's the price?" Liu Xiang didn't make a decision in a hurry. He was very tight on money and knew that these foreign goods were very expensive. It would be embarrassing if he couldn't afford it if he wanted it.

"The United States is currently experiencing an economic crisis, and many small and medium-sized power plants have stopped production and operations. Generator sets below 500 kilowatts only cost 80% of the original price, but they are all second-hand goods. Generator sets above 500 kilowatts are available as new ones, but the prices are lower than the market price. There will be an upward adjustment of 20%, and all shipping and handling costs will be borne by us.”

Ye Luo answered with a smile. In fact, these motor sets are his goods. He had previously taken advantage of the economic crisis to acquire a large number of small and medium-sized companies in the United States. He bought at least hundreds of power plants, which contained a lot of old and used goods, which was just right. It was dumped to the Republic of China and used as new equipment by these warlords.

But if he didn't take Situ Meitang or Huixin's skin, these warlords would bargain hard with him.

"That doesn't seem expensive." Liu Xiang was overjoyed. "Why don't we order more second-hand goods, and just buy two or three new ones to see how they go. If they are useful, we will replace them all with new ones in the future."

In the past, when buying equipment from foreigners, they asked for three or four times the premium without leaving any room for negotiation.

At this time, Ye Luo said that second-hand goods can still be cheaper, and Liu Xiang felt that he had really found a treasure this time!

"The situation in the arsenal is more complicated. For ordinary pistols and rifles, Mr. Situ has contacted the Livermore Group. Mrs. Livermore happens to be in Shanghai. We can secretly negotiate a batch, but the price is not cheap. , As for machine guns, they are not for sale at the moment.”

Ye Luo didn't have a production line for machine guns yet. This stuff was a controlled product in the United States. If he wanted to get it, he had to wait and see if Franklin could help.

"Li what Li?" Liu Xiang didn't understand foreign names and always found them difficult to pronounce and couldn't tell who was who. But when he heard that someone was willing to sell him pistols and rifles, he was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear. "Anyway, how many are there?" Just buy as much as you want, please Second Young Master.”

"Mrs. Livermore, I have cooperated with me in financial business before. Now she is the principal's guest and is negotiating cooperation with the Jinling National Government." Ye Luo briefly introduced.

Hearing that she was the Chinese wife of a foreigner, Liu Xiangdun felt that the world was full of wonders. He didn't understand the matter anyway, so he might as well send his men to follow Ye Luo to purchase and pay.

After saying this, Ye Luo turned the topic to last night's actions.

The Shanhuo Gang has collapsed, and Huang Yunye has become his prisoner.

Hearing that Ye Luo had actually taken care of the Huang family in one night, Liu Xiang was surprised and happy, but the deal was already done and it was too late to say anything now, so he had no choice but to nod and acquiesce to the matter.

No wonder this young man came early in the morning to tell him the good news. It turned out that he had done a big job last night. This is a candy and a stick.

"Then the Second Young Master's people." Liu Xiang probed.

"I will arrange for them to go back in batches, but they will be stationed in Qing City for the time being. After that, I plan to slowly take over the Huang family's industry. If there is no manpower to watch, I'm afraid there will be changes." Ye Luo said truthfully.

That means I don’t plan to go back.

Liu Xiang was also a human being and immediately understood Ye Luo's intention.

This time I really drove the tiger away and swallowed the wolf!

But the matter had come to this, and he had no choice but to leave Ye Luo here, which was better than letting Liu Wenhui's nails or people from other warlords mix in his base camp.

Ye Luo is not a warlord, but a direct descendant of the principal. He is still half one of us, so let’s leave it at that!

"What about Huang Yunzhen, the second young master plans to deal with it?" Liu Xiang asked casually.

"Punished according to law." Ye Luo smiled.

That's death.

Liu Xiang nodded, silently mourning Liu Wenhui's failure for a while, and then said with a smile: "Whatever the second young master wants to do from now on, just tell Zhong San and others, and I will support you as appropriate."

"It just so happens that we are planning to open a food court, bank and dance hall in the future, so I'll bother Commander Liu." Ye Luo cupped his fists.

"Haha, stop calling Commander Liu, just call me brother, brother Ye." Liu Xiang laughed loudly. Ye Luo helped him accomplish two major things, and he felt comfortable for a long time. No wonder Zhang Hanqing from the north said Ye Luo It is worth a division of the Japanese invaders. This statement is true!

Huang Yunye, who was in jail, was still thinking about what he would use to beg Liu Xiang and Ye Luo not to torture him to death when Liu Xiang and Ye Luo came over.

But he waited and waited until night. After several days, he didn't see Ye Luo's shadow.

The second young master he misses so much is currently busy helping Wang Yunsong reorganize the business community in Qing City, and starting new companies and factories with Lu Zuofu and others.

Without the Huang family, the engineering team of Ye's Construction was in a deserted place and began to carry out large-scale construction projects in Qing City, building many infrastructures and making room for a series of industries invested by Ye's.

37 years later, Qingshi has become the capital, and Ye Luo will receive huge rewards for the things he does now, but at this time, in the eyes of many people, he seems to be doing thankless things.

He obviously has huge wealth and resources, but he doesn't think about making money. He is obviously a profit-seeking businessman. When faced with enemies who prevent him from making money, he can kill him without mercy. But at this moment, he Suddenly it doesn’t matter whether I make money or not.

As the top leader in Qing City, Pan Wenhua has been following Xiao Aqiao and others around these days. He has also seen Ye Luo's behavior and feels that this second young master from the south is elusive.

He is a very complex and multi-faceted person.

When he was dealing with the Huang family and Thomson, he was terrifyingly cruel and made it clear that he wanted to kill other people's entire families.

But when faced with the huge benefits at his fingertips, he became indifferent again and started to engage in some messy business!

After Zhao Pilian and his party arrived in Qingshi, Ye Luo personally entertained them, then asked the engineering team to build the headquarters building of Ye's Education at light speed, and then took them to Qingshi University, preparing to solve many problems for the students there.

Just like that, before she knew it, another two months had passed, and Kong Lingjun had a headache because the deadline she had agreed with her teacher was coming up in one month.

But her food court is not even half done yet.

Only when she got it into her own hands did she realize how difficult the business that the teacher had done casually was. A small food court almost made her head explode. It was hard to imagine how the teacher had managed such a huge Ye's investment before.

Little Ah Qiao felt sorry for her goddaughter who was only twelve years old, and she also helped with a lot of work. Because of this, she felt more and more terrible and powerful about Ye Luo.

In the last month, Ye Luo disappeared. He took the train to Lu Province with Shi Jianqiao and others early, saying that he had something important to deal with.
