Chapter 125 Special goods newly arrived in Shanghai (third update, please subscribe and vote)

While Huo Tianhong and others were still discussing how to deal with Ye Luo, Ye Luo, who had already temporarily forgotten the Sassoon family, was sending Mei Lanfang and his party to Shanghai Railway Station.

There are still three days left before the completion date of the Great World Amusement Park. There are few projects left that require Lin Huiyin and his wife to be on-site. They were originally scheduled to go to the north in August to join the Department of Architecture of Northeastern University, but things kept getting delayed, so they had to postpone it to September. Because the two of them had to go back to their hometown in Fuzhou to visit relatives, they stopped by Fuzhou Normal School and Yinghua Middle School to give lectures on "Architecture and Literature" and "Garden Architectural Art" to the students.

Zhang Mouzhi went north with Lin Huiyin, his wife, and Mei Lanfang. He left his son Zhang Yuanbei and daughter Zhang Anyi behind and went north alone to see Marshal Zhang. He seemed to have important matters to discuss in detail.

Ye Luo guessed that it was Song Ziwen who asked his father-in-law to act as a lobbyist for the young marshal, persuading him to change his banner and complete the complete unification of the north and the south.

Before leaving, a group of people stood in the Great World Amusement Park, looking at the huge entertainment venue that would be open soon and feeling extremely emotional.

"Once the Second Young Master's Big World is completed and opened, it will definitely live up to the slogan 'If you don't go to the Big World, it will be in vain to come to Shanghai'! Such a magnificent building was built entirely by us Chinese. It is really spectacular and amazing. It's an eye-opener!" Mei Lanfang actually doesn't want to leave Shanghai yet. He is very interested in "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple". The plots behind it are so intertwined that it is only enjoyable to watch them all here.

As for the upcoming movie "Blood, Tears and Yellow Flowers", he also really wants to watch it.

There is also the Great World Amusement Park that is about to open. There is a special Liyuan Stage in it, which is a thousand times more gorgeous than the new stage and the big stage of Yongxing Company. But any actor who was slightly famous during the Republic of China would not want to stand on the best stage. What about performing on stage?

There will be a big battle between the Big World and the New World. The New World has invited 49 well-known troupes to perform in turns for seven days and seven nights. The scene must be very spectacular.

Mei Lanfang was worried about being outperformed on the opening day of Great World, but he actually wanted to help Ye Luo support the show.

Unfortunately, not long ago, Hu Shi was kicked out of the country by the troll Chen Dezheng and took refuge in the United States. He happened to be going to the United States for a performance visit and could visit old friends, so he could only leave with regret.

"It will be a regret in my life not to be able to make my debut in the big world." Mei Lanfang sighed, then turned to Ye Luo and smiled, "Second Young Master, I have invited a troupe of my best friends to come to Shanghai. Tan helps out. If Yongxing Company is aggressive, they can let her perform on stage and dominate the audience! If they are not provocative, please ask the second young master not to force this friend to go on stage. It is her business."

"Okay, I understand. Don't worry, Mr. Mei. Whether you go on stage or not depends entirely on that friend's volition. I'm very grateful that he can come to help." Ye Luo actually really wants to know who Mei Lanfang's best friend is. , but it was a pity that he kept silent, saying that the other party had caused trouble in the north and was wanted by the warlord, so it was not easy to perform on stage in a big way. As for the identity of the other party, Ye Luo would know it when he arrived in Shanghai.

"Thank you, Second Young Master." Mei Lanfang smiled and nodded.

After taking one last look at the big world, everyone set off, and a special car from Ye's Automobile Company took them to the train station.

Ye Luo took them all the way to the platform and saw the train approaching.

Lin Huiyin suddenly came over and patted Ye Luo's shoulder gently, with red eyes: "Aluo, this time we say goodbye, I don't know when we will see you again. Now the long-distance calls between the north and Shanghai are not connected. If you miss me, you can You write to me often, and Sicheng and I are very reluctant to leave you."

Liang Sicheng was relatively taciturn. He nodded slightly when he heard the words, and his eyes were full of reluctance.

Although there are long-distance calls now, there are only nine provinces with China Unicom, namely Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Anhui, Jiangxi, Hubei, Hunan, Henan, Shandong and Hebei, excluding the Beijing-Tianjin area and Shanghai Beach. After the separation of the north and the south, they really We could only communicate occasionally through telegrams and letters.

I think of later generations where mobile phones and computers are everywhere, high-speed trains and planes are extremely fast, and during the Republic of China, there was a special charm of "cars and horses are very slow, letters are far away, and there is only enough time to love one person in a lifetime."

"Sister Huiyin, please don't be sad. I promise to make all the phone networks in the country smooth within my lifetime. How about that?" Ye Luo smiled and hugged her gently.

"What a mouthful! You are so eloquent every time. How can the telephone network be so easy to handle?" Lin Huiyin wiped his tears and lightly hammered him with his fist. "Take care of yourself. Those foreigners have bad intentions. If you can't do it, just do it." Take a step back and remember, don’t risk your life, it’s not worth it.”

"Sister Huiyin, don't worry. I've always been the only one to ask for my life. No one dares to ask for my life." Ye Luo laughed, helped them pick up their luggage, and put them on the train.

As the train slowly drove away, Lin Huiyin and others stuck their heads out of the window and waved to him. Ye Luo was deeply moved by their deep affection.

After the group left, only Ye Luo, Ding Li, and Shi Jianqiao were left on the platform. Ye Luo raised his hand and glanced at his watch. In two hours, a batch of goods he brought from overseas would arrive at Shiliupu Pier. Special goods purchased.This special batch of goods will become one of the magic weapons for the Great World Amusement Park to win.

To be honest, Ye Luo really didn't understand why that thing became one of the famous features of the Great World across the country. It was just because he had been to the old site of the Great World several times in later generations. Every time he saw those things as soon as he entered the door, the guide would repeatedly The introduction tells you that these gadgets made the Great World famous in the second year after its opening, attracting tourists and becoming a sensational super comprehensive entertainment venue.

With the experience of the last batch of audio equipment, Ye Luo asked people to strictly control this batch of special goods imported from the Netherlands and never bring back defective products.

"Let's go to Shiliupu Pier." Ye Luo turned and left the platform.

Ding Li and Shi Jianqiao immediately followed.

At this time, the Shanghai Railway Station has been completely occupied by people from Ye's Investment Company. There are many Chevrolet 490s on the platform carrying passengers. Many of the employees are from Ye's Security Company, and the own railway station company has also been transferred from Yangxing Investment. Invest for Yip.

Ye Luo knows that only liquid wealth is the most valuable, so of the more than 700 million yuan in his account, he has successively withdrawn more than 100 million yuan for investment and management in various aspects. The industry is widely dispersed, covering everything he can think of for the time being. All the potential of Chinese business companies.

He is in no hurry to acquire them. Forcibly occupying them will only overdraw their potential and is unnecessary.

For companies that are willing to join Ye's company, Ye Luo will offer a satisfactory price higher than the market price so that they will not feel disadvantaged. For companies that are unwilling to join and still maintain a neutral wait-and-see attitude, they will invest in shares to help them solve some economic problems. The investment amount may be more than [-] to [-] yuan, while the investment amount may be only [-] yuan.

Casting a net everywhere and gradually uniting Chinese business companies that are not part of the Yongxing Company faction is an important part of Ye Luo's business empire weaving.

It is also a risky move made to deal with the disaster of "the country advances and the people retreat".

Once his intentions are discovered by the Jinling National Government, even Song Ziwen may not be able to protect him.

After all, the Ye family does not belong to one of the four major families and is not qualified to share the cake.

Ye Luo was smoking and thinking about these issues. The scene outside the car window gradually receded, and soon he arrived at Shiliupu Pier.

Since Tan Si's Pier Gang was liquidated once, the layout of Shiliupu Pier has been divided into two, with half controlled by the Pier Gang and the other half becoming Yu Likui's territory.

Ye Luo's goods came in from the dock. When the car arrived, the special batch of goods had already arrived in Shanghai, and Lin Ruxian's people were going through the handover procedures.

"Come on, Jianqiao, I'll show you these new gadgets from the Netherlands." Ye Luo became more playful, pulled Shi Jianqiao and walked over there.

Ding Li also followed curiously, wanting to know what the magical item that the second young master said could make the world instantly capture the hearts of tourists.

Arriving at the unloading point at the dock, there were twelve pieces of special cargo in total, which were quite large. Each piece was tightly tied with linen, making it difficult to see what was going on inside.

Ye Luo walked over, and everyone shouted "Second Young Master". He smiled and said hello, and then Lashi came to a certain item with his sword raised, squatted down, and quietly tore a hole in the linen cloth.

"Is this a mirror?" Shi Jianqiao was stunned for a moment.

"To be precise, it's called a magic mirror."
