1928: The rise of giant merchants

The next night, in a villa.

The sound of water dripping came from the shower room in the room, and a graceful figure was vaguely visible through the frosted glass door.

Ye Luo was wearing a large white bathrobe and drinking refreshing coffee, but his thoughts were flying everywhere.

The past two years will be the most peaceful two years in the next twenty years. After that, when the Japanese invaders invaded China in an all-round way and Zhang Hanqing launched an incident to force the principal to unite against the outside world, this continent will be a continuous war and the sword will never stop.

Inland business can only be done in a few big cities and the secondary capital, and other places will basically collapse completely due to the war.

But no matter how the war situation changes, with the huge size of Ye's investment, it is bound to lose more than profit in China.

Important industries must leave the Republic of China in batches, and factories can migrate to some small countries in Southeast Asia. The core industries must be rooted in the land of Britain and the United States to thrive.

Australia City, which will not be invaded by war, can accommodate his entertainment industry, and Japan and the peninsula can also digest part of it.

The most important industries may have to be slowly continued on some unknown islands.

At present, starting from next year, a number of industries should be gradually withdrawn from Shanghai and the Republic of China.

At this time, Ye Luo realized that thanks to his trip to the United States, Ye's investment had the opportunity to continue in the war.

Otherwise, even if the Republic of China would not be swallowed up by the war, it would be eaten up after the founding of the country.

When thinking about this, he looked up again, and I didn't know when a pair of slender white jade legs appeared in front of him. The line of sight slowly moved up to the slender and tender white long legs, and there was an exaggerated but extremely attractive plump hip.

The purple thin transparent gauze skirt wrapped on it, connected to the delicate water snake waist, and there were two plump and towering curves hidden underneath, sexy and enchanting.

Huixin, who was also over 30 years old, was more mature and plump, like a berry that could be picked at any time. With a little force, the overflowing juice flowed out.

"Brother Luo~" She called Ye Luo softly, and squatted down soon after. Her already graceful and charming body formed a more sexy curve.

The foxy and passionate cheeks disappeared from sight.

The next day at noon, Ye Luo's family held Ye Hongdou to see Hui Xin off at the airport. It was unknown how long it would take for them to meet again. Several women cried the most, causing several children to cry loudly.

Dai Ji, the commander of the security headquarters, couldn't help laughing at this scene, and bumped Ye Luo with his elbow, his eyes seemed to say "It turns out that the second young master will have such a day."

Because of Xu Zhimo's plane crash, Ye Luo didn't dare to let Hui Xin take the unreliable domestic airline, and specially invited Chennault and a group of experienced pilots, equipped with the most advanced aircraft, to send her to New York.

As the plane disappeared from sight, everything gradually came to an end.

Several ships full of Japanese merchants and Japanese expatriates also left on the same day. The Shilipu Wharf was bustling. Of course, the Chinese who heard the news were not there to see them off.

They cheered the Japanese to leave. After this group of ambitious guys left, everyone decorated the place with lights and cheered.

On the same afternoon, Okamoto Jusan finally took the initiative to find Ye Luo and sold the Hongkou Dojo to Ye Investment for 3.2 million yuan.

At the same time as the contract was signed, the engineering team of Ye Construction came over and began to demolish the houses in the Japanese concession.

One after another, the houses fell down, and the remaining Japanese merchants and expatriates cried out and ran to the consulate general to protest, thinking that Okamoto Jusan's sale of so much land to Ye Investment was "treasonous behavior."

But Okamoto Jusan and Iwai Eiichi were determined to get money, completely ignoring their protests and too lazy to care about the various orders of the Japanese military.

In this way, amid the wailing, Ye Film Company's brand new sound cinema rose from the ground.

This will become the center of film and television entertainment in Shanghai in the future. The cinema will only play well-known sound movies at home and abroad, with low ticket prices for the whole people to enjoy.

Taking advantage of this wave of popularity, Chen Yumei's new film was released and finally became a little popular.

Unfortunately, Shanghai fans still miss Hu Die and Ruan Lingyu. Even though the two became concubines of Ye Luo's family and were pregnant, their love for them did not diminish at all.

This is different from the fans of later generations, who are very tolerant.

Of course, this is also related to the marriage partner being Ye Luo. If it were someone else, the fans would still rebel.

In this way, the four months of August, September, October, and November passed quietly.

In various parts of the Republic of China, those who should fight fought, those who should "suppress bandits" "suppress bandits", and those who should do business continued to do business.

Except that the situation became more and more tense, money became harder and harder to make, and the people became more and more miserable, there were not many other changes.

In November 1932, a big event happened in the United States.

Franklin participated in the election as the Democratic presidential candidate and proposed a program to implement the "New Deal" and revitalize the economy.

Political opponents often used his disability to attack him, which was something he had to fight all his life, but he was always able to turn this disadvantage into an advantage with his outstanding political achievements, excellent eloquence and abundant energy.

When he first participated in the election, he told people through his speech: "A governor does not have to be an acrobat. We did not elect him because he could do forward or backward rolls. He did mental work and tried every way to benefit the people."

At this time, the storm of the Great Depression swept across the United States, with unemployment, bankruptcy, closures and plummeting everywhere. The people urgently needed a new president who could lead them out of the predicament.

Franklin's high-profile campaign was in line with the people's expectations of the new leader.

The most important thing is that although he did not receive funding from those old-fashioned financial groups - the Morgan Financial Group, the Rockefeller Financial Group and others were not optimistic about him.

But the newly emerging Livermore Financial Group did its best to fund him, and the YB Bank under Ye Investment and major industries also voiced their support for Franklin.

These two are the biggest beneficiaries of the US economic crisis, and Ye Investment is the only new financial group established by Chinese that can eat well in the United States.

The entire New York is full of industries of these two new financial groups. Franklin took advantage of the situation and the situation was very good!

December.

The Nanjing National Government and the Russian Bear resumed diplomatic relations. At the beginning, Nanjing was still asking for a lot of money, clamoring to solve the problems of Outer Mongolia and the Middle East Road first.

But when the League of Nations Investigation Report was released, the president's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees, and he fully agreed to unconditionally resume diplomatic relations with the bear.

Then the Kuomintang held another important meeting, and the factional struggle became increasingly fierce.

The current situation is that the president is in charge of the army, Wang is in charge of the government, and Sun Ke has gained nothing.

So he vigorously promoted democratic constitutionalism at the Kuomintang meeting, and received widespread support from people from all walks of life. He wanted to take advantage of this public sentiment and momentum to come to power. (End of this chapter)
