1928: The rise of giant merchants

No one expected that on June 15, after the National Government issued the "Foreign Declaration", another shocking news broke out in Shanghai.

In the Licha Hotel, the safest and most luxurious hotel in the public concession, a horrific shooting occurred.

A Chinese woman shot and killed Galt, the president of the Automobile Trade Association and the owner of Yunfei Automobile Company, and shot and wounded Henry, the owner of Taylor Automobile Company, and Ye Luo, the owner of Yeshi Automobile Company.

In the end, this female killer of unknown origin was shot and killed by Ye Luo himself!

The shock caused by this shooting continues to spread.

News soon spread that the British boss Henry was willing to testify for Ye Luo. The case came to light that afternoon. Ye Luo and his bodyguard Ma Yongzhen were acquitted, and Galt's body was handed over to the U.S. Consulate General in Shanghai. Clarence Gaoth, the consul general who had just returned from Peking, attached great importance to this incident and demanded that everything must be investigated thoroughly!

He is the most hostile to Chinese among a group of foreign bosses, and has a very weird temper.

In the public concession under his control, the boss of Yunfei Automobile Company, who was fully entrusted by the consulate, was shot dead on the spot!

The murderer is still a Chinese woman!

This made Gao Si extremely angry.

As soon as the incident broke out, he rushed to the Ministry of Industry Bureau without stopping and yelled angrily, demanding that the person behind the incident be found out within three days.

Then Gao Si went to the special city government office as quickly as possible and cursed all the staff!

At this time, Zhang Dingyao and others were still in Jinling. When they received the news, they were frightened out of their wits. They quickly called Ye Luo to inquire about the situation, and then told him to cooperate with the foreigners' investigation and avoid further troubles.

Now is the juncture when the Nationalist Government takes over all the power of the Beiyang warlords. After that, cooperation negotiations with the consulates of various countries will begin. After being recognized by them, the Nationalist Government can truly complete the nominal unification and become a legal government.

If this incident delays subsequent major events, let alone Ye Luo, the entire Chinese business community in Shanghai will be plowed clean.

Ye Luo was not nervous and told Zhang Dingyao to relax, saying that he could handle all the problems as long as they delegated power.

Zhang Dingyao didn't dare to believe him. After all, Ye Luo was not from Jinling. But Song Ziwen called and said that Principal Chang had given instructions to handle the matter properly and not to slack off. At the same time, he named Ye Luo to handle it. After all, he was also the victim. One of them has a bit of face at the US Consulate in Shanghai.

In fact, the reason why Jinling was willing to let Ye Luo come forward to contact Gao Si was that the U.S. Minister to China, Ma Murui, said good things to Ye Luo!

A group of political dignitaries couldn't figure out why the dignified minister to China knew about a young businessman from the south!

What's even more amazing is that when he heard that Ye Luo was cooperating with the investigation, Gao Si rarely showed any embarrassment or expression.

Then that night, a bigger piece of news reached Huo Mansion.

Huo Tianhong, who had just followed him to Jinling, was hurriedly sent back to Shanghai.

Also returning with him was Yu Qiaqing.

He never expected that in just a few days, Ye Luo would be able to come up with some new tricks for himself.

In the middle of the business group meeting in Jinling, Huo Tianhong was called out by Zhang Dingyao and cursed, and then he and Yu Qiaqing were driven back in confusion.

On the train back, Huo Tianhong learned about this incident from Yu Qiaqing, as well as another thing that made him even more irritated -

Yello was also elected to the new General Chamber of Commerce committee list.

This means that the Ye family cannot be cleaned up.

"This little red guy is going to shake things up!" Zhang Wanlin, who was sitting on the sofa, looked at the small piece of paper handed over by Huo Tianhong and was stunned!

The news that makes the three brothers even more uneasy is that Galt and Henry met with Ye Luo at the Richa Hotel to discuss selling him the management rights of Yunfei Company and Tailai Company!

The fact that the two of them came to discuss the price meant that the British and American consulates had everything done!

In a battle between dragons and tigers in the car rental industry, Ye Luo not only defeated them, but also took away their underpants!

The two largest foreign-invested companies in the automobile industry, which have always been firmly controlled by foreigners, did not ask foreigners to manage them and then entrust compradors to do business, but directly sold them to the Chinese.

Zhang Wanlin's head was buzzing.

Last time Ye's Automobile Company opened, he ridiculed that foreigners were willing to give up profits to Chinese businessmen. Now that things are better, what benefits should they give away?

They have sold the company to you!

To a certain extent, this is even more outrageous than when the Second Northern Expedition ended at the speed of light and Marshal Zhang was assassinated by the Japanese invaders in Huanggutun!

Looking at the country, no Chinese businessman can achieve this!

"With just that little car business, how can he make foreigners surrender?!" Zhang Wanlin couldn't figure this out.

When it comes to money, what is more profitable than the tobacco business?

Among today's Shanghai tycoons, only Yongxing Company and the Eight-stock Party dare to go against the trend and take advantage of the big smoke that is causing harm to the country and the people. The other tycoons can only touch the casino and brothel business, and the speed of making money is completely incomparable to that of Yongxing Company.

This time when he took over Lu Yongxiang's mansion, Zhang Wanlin turned his ass and turned it into his own vacation villa. In order to buy Lu Yongxiang's most beloved women, he paid 50,000 yuan without batting an eye. .

When it comes to comparing people, guns, and money, no Chinese force can compete with Yongxing Company!

Why do foreigners favor Ye Luo?

"Second brother! Is this a question of surrender or not?" Lu Yusheng is the smartest among the three. At this time, how could he not understand that Ye Luo is not the Chinese comprador that Barton put on the table at all!

No foreigner would let a comprador fund the acquisition of his own company.

That means that the transfer of management rights means basically giving money to the other party.

This is a question of whether to be a foreigner’s dog or a foreigner’s friend.

What makes him crazy is why Ye Luo can not only mingle with foreigners, but also gain trust in Jinling!

Obviously when he first came back in March, he still had nothing!

At Ye Qingqing's wedding, when he promised to start a business and the rise of giant businessmen, Lu Yusheng was the one who took the lead in ridiculing him!

There was another thing that frightened him the most.

"Second brother, have you and Lao Yu, Ye Chen, made a lot of big moves recently?" Lu Yusheng swallowed and looked at Huo Tianhong.

Huo Tianhong, who had just returned, didn't know these things yet and looked at the two sworn brothers with confusion.

"Cuna! If you didn't tell me, I almost forgot! Did that dead ghost trick me?!" Zhang Wanlin came back to his senses, and immediately a cold sweat broke out on his back.

Not long ago, Galt and Henry swore to them that they should go ahead and money was not an issue, as long as they destroyed Yello's car dealership.

Then they turned around and secretly asked Ye Luo to sell the company and run away?

"What's the trap? Brother, please explain clearly." Huo Tianhong suddenly had a bad feeling.

"That ghost guy who was beaten to death by Japanese bitches! He made an appointment with me, Lao Yu, and Ye Chen before, and said he wanted us to beat Ye Luo to death, and he would be responsible." Zhang Wanlin said, and his voice became softer.

"Then they turned around and sold the company to Ye Luo." Lu Yusheng smiled, and suddenly felt that his second brother had been comfortable for too long, and his head was numb.

Such an obvious method of killing with a borrowed knife, a little research will reveal that they took the bait!

"Japanese bitch! Do you know that the patrol room now found out that he is Chinese!" Huo Tianhong slammed the pipe in his hand at Zhang Wanlin, which frightened Lu Lanchun beside him and screamed, "Chinese, haha, such a Come on, can we gangsters withstand the investigation?"

"That's impossible, brother! I've clearly sent someone to check, and that woman is a Japanese invader!" Zhang Wanlin's face was full of confusion.

Lu Yusheng looked at him like an idiot.

"Second brother, you still don't understand? What country are you from? That's the decision of the patrol room and the consulate. Look at this situation, is it Ye Luo who has the final say?"

"Second brother, you said Galt asked you to deal with Ye Luo, right? Who else was there at that time?" Huo Tianhong took a deep breath and asked in a low voice.

"There is a foreign female secretary, and that Henry is also there, they can all testify for us!" Zhang Wanlin said as if he was grasping a life-saving straw.

"Is this the female secretary?" Lu Yusheng sneered and threw out a photo, which showed a foreign woman being fucked by countless men and rolling her eyes in a daze. "I heard that she has become insane and been sent to the hospital."

"Do you think Henry, the boss of Tailai Company, will admit this?" Huo Tianhong looked at Zhang Wanlin coldly, wanting to rip off his head.

It happened that at this moment, Zhang Wanlin was tricked by Ye Luo.

"I don't think it's possible." Zhang Wanlin was already breaking out in a cold sweat. Wouldn't he be blamed for this assassination case?

"Idiot. I hope Ye Luo's appetite isn't too big." Huo Tianhong took the new pipe from Lu Lanchun's hand, his eyes wandering.
