1928: The rise of giant merchants

Shanghai, train station.

The battle on the Great Wall was in full swing. The Japanese army had occupied Chengde, and the gate of Shanhaiguan was tightly closed.

Waves of exiles were pouring into the south.

Some of these people came from Rehe, and some from the two northern provinces, or even from further away. They were unwilling to live under the iron hoofs of the Japanese invaders and the puppet army. They moved south step by step, and finally came to the most prosperous Shanghai and Jinling City.

In order to limit the huge flow of people, the principal ordered a strict review of the people who had recently poured in from the north. People with high net assets and high social status could come in through various backdoors, and others had to be diverted to the second-level Suzhou City, Hangzhou City, and even the lower-level Jiacheng and other places.

There was no way. Tens of thousands of people came here every day. If no restrictions were imposed, the public security of major cities in the south would collapse directly.

"Dong Dong Dong Dong Dong——"

The sound of a gong rang out at the train station. A middle-aged man in a Ye's security uniform held up a metal horn and shouted: "Fellow compatriots in the north, we are employees of Ye's security. If you have any difficulties, you can line up to ask our volunteers for help. On behalf of the 400 million compatriots across the country, I guarantee that as long as you don't make trouble, don't do evil, and keep order, Ye's Investment will unconditionally give you food, drink, and clothes. Those who are capable, please explain to the volunteers. As long as you pass the qualification review, we will also give you a decent job and a stable living environment."

"Don't crowd, don't cut in line, and don't deliberately cause trouble!"

Outside the long queue, Ye's Sports employees are responsible for assisting the police officers of the Songhu Police Department to maintain public order. This time, the Songhu Police Department, which is in urgent need of manpower, is completely unable to cope with the emergency.

Fortunately, the current acting director Ma Yongzhen is a glamorous Ye's investor. As soon as he asked for help, Ye Hao immediately allocated a large number of people to help.

However, there were too many people pouring in, and Ye's Investment could only try to ensure that there were no problems in the areas within sight. There were also many people who took advantage of the situation and rushed into Shanghai to cause trouble in the county town, suburbs, and even in the concessions.

Murder, theft, rape, abduction. Various cases emerged one after another. Girls from wealthy families began to stay at home, fearing that some people would suddenly jump out and be caught in a sack.

At this point, the City Hall found that without the assistance of underground forces, many gray incidents could not be handled.

What is the most in this world?

The most are rats living in dark and smelly ditches!

Rats are extremely hungry and are not afraid of death.

As the underground emperor of Shanghai, Ye Hao has a unique influence in the underground world. Everyone knows that he is the biological brother of the second young master, the eldest son of the Ye family, and he has countless people in his hands.

As long as someone's daughter is lost and comes to ask for help, Ye Hao will come forward and there will be no one who can't be found.

Ye's Investment also took advantage of this wave of trend to expand its influence.

Ye Yuqiao's anti-Japanese traitor-killing group secretly observed and waited for the opportunity to act. They also rescued many members of the underground organization and sent them to their base in the Midwest.

The three pillars of the Ye family, one businessman, one gang and one group, seemed to support the black and white world of Shanghai.

Outside the train station, the four beauties of Fengming Building, led by Hua Mei, brought a group of beautiful women and opened several rescue stations, which were filled with various old clothes and several large pots of porridge, steaming hot.

These clothes were donated. The original owners came from all over the country. They were raised by the Ye Charity Foundation from all over the country and then transported here by a fleet for unified arrangement.

The Ye Charity Foundation is now one of the trump cards of Ye's investment. Although there is no profit point, it has a very high reputation. Not long ago, President Ye Qingqing was selected by the overseas charity association as the most influential philanthropist in the world in 1932, becoming the second world-famous big man in the Ye family besides Ye Luo.

After being wrapped in this golden armor, anyone who dares to have a crooked mind towards the Yeh Charity Foundation must consider the attitude of international public opinion and charity industry tycoons.

Because people who do charity are either rich or noble these days, and many are even military and political leaders of various countries, with terrifying power. If they unite together, are you afraid?

This is also the reason why the Yeh Charity Foundation can be unimpeded in various war zones across the country. Previously, the Kwantung Army intercepted and killed the convoy, which caused strong criticism from international public opinion. Although this kind of verbal criticism did not cause substantial lethality, it would make the Japanese international status plummet.

Why did the Kwantung Army pretend to carry out various "people-friendly" activities after occupying the north? It was because the Japanese wanted their face in the international community. Without face, many things would be difficult to handle.

However, there are still many troublemakers who want to disrupt this relief activity, and there are also ignorant exiles who want to take advantage of the chaos to steal clothes, or even take advantage of the oil.

In the chaos, a dirty hand quietly climbed up Hua Mei's perky buttocks. Hua Mei, who was wearing a gorgeous cheongsam and busy distributing porridge, didn't notice it at all.

Just as the dirty hand was about to succeed, with a loud "slap", the owner of the dirty hand was slapped hard.

He was dazzled by the beating and blurted out a dirty word: "I fuck your mother."

Then the black gun barrel was stuffed directly into his mouth.

Ma Yongzhen looked unkind and shouted to the police officers next to him: "Take this man back for interrogation! I suspect he is a 'red bandit'!"

This hat is a big one.

As everyone knows, the principal is fighting bandits in Changcheng!

"Wow, no!" The man wanted to argue, but he was dragged away.

"I just said, charity is charity, why do you have to show your face? If someone takes advantage of you, we still have to bear the cuckold status." Ding Li also jumped out. He had successfully transformed his relationship with Yue Lang from a "criticism" to a relationship worthy of the name. couple.

Hua Mei and Ma Yongzhen also got married not long ago.

The two newlyweds were officiated by Ye Luo and Bai Xiuzhu, and they were quite prosperous.

"The same goes for Xiaorou. She is an eighteen-year-old girl and she is not married yet!" Ding Li saw his wife coming over with a sideways glance and quickly transferred his fire to Fengrou, who was cute and not very good at losing his temper.

Feng Rou, who had a round head and a red cheongsam, said flatly: "Sister Xueleng is not married either. Brother Ding, why don't you teach her a lesson?"

Xue Leng looked at him coldly, and Ding Li shrank his head, not daring to speak.

Everyone knows that in Simili, Xue Leng is the only one who has a deep obsession with the second young master. She worked as Ye Luo's secretary for a while. She was slapped by Qin Tongli in the ballroom, and after Ye Luo helped her out, I fell hopelessly in love with the person I couldn't be with.

Xue Leng has a cold temperament, but the iceberg is wrapped in blazing fire. Anyone who dares to make fun of her liking the second young master should be prepared to be beaten violently.

"Okay, okay, you have time to bicker, why not help us do more practical things." Hua Mei glared at Ding Li, "My lord, the director of the Nitrate Mine Administration Bureau."

"I know, I know, aren't we bringing someone to help?"

After being accused of having an affair with a member of an underground organization, Ding Li's career was instantly blocked. Fortunately, like Ma Yongzhen, he had the support of the second young master, so Jinling did not pursue it further.

Since then, he has deeply realized that the officialdom of the Republic of China was like a meat grinder. Countless people were staring at you. Sometimes when the butcher's knife came down, you didn't even have a chance to resist.

But if there is a thigh holding it, it is completely different.

When there was such a big incident in Yuelang's dance hall, the black-faced Yama Dai Li personally came to arrest people, but he was blocked by the second young master.

What is Jianghu status?

This is Jianghu status!

Ding Li followed Ye Luo wholeheartedly, and his life was prosperous. But when he saw these poor people who were exactly the same as him in the past, he couldn't help but think of the time when he was selling fruit at Shiliupu Pier.

Will this hard life really come to an end?

"Don't be stupid. You should be doing things, and you should be helping." Yue Lang bumped him lightly, and then asked in a low voice, "The second young master went to the United States and hasn't come back yet?"

"Yes, why do you ask about this?" Ding Li looked at him confused.

Yue Lang didn't elaborate, he just found an excuse to excuse himself.

In fact, she is now a member of the Anti-Japanese Anti-Japanese Anti-Corruption Group, and is highly regarded for her extraordinary skills.

She has never told Ding Li these things. Everyone has their own choice and career.

This time, Ye Luo suddenly said that she had something important to go to the United States, and the gang wanted to do something big. She wanted to secretly inquire about the second young master's schedule.

These days, Ye Yuqiao's anti-Japanese anti-corruption team is becoming more and more extreme. Ye Luo has tried to persuade him several times to no avail, so he can only rely on his father.

Ye Yuqiao also knew that Ye Luo didn't really want him to be like this, so he simply avoided causing trouble with his two sons.

In his opinion, the personal death of an individual is a small matter, but the rise and fall of the country is a big matter.

There are some things that if you don’t do, no one will do, and that won’t work.
