1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 193 The richest man and woman in Shanghai
September 17, the 1928th year of the Republic of China (10).

"Sell newspapers, sell newspapers! The new drug Longhurendan from the Sino-French Pharmacy is selling well in Shanghai! The rise of domestic products and the fall of Japanese products!"

"Jingwu Sports Association is expanding its enrollment again! The abolition of traditional Chinese medicine has been put on the agenda!"

"The latest news! The latest news! The second young master Ye Luo invested 1 yuan to buy Paramount! The boss of Yongxing Company Lu Yusheng held a banquet at the restaurant for three days and three nights. I would like to thank the second young master for his help!"

Most of the newsboys walking around the streets have received funding from Yip's Charitable Foundation, and they have also taken over the promotion business of Yip's Big World. Most of them now work part-time to sell newspapers to earn a stable living expenses, which is no longer what they used to be. So embarrassed.

They are in high spirits, and whenever they encounter big news related to Ye's Investment Company and Ye Luo, they will spare no effort to recommend it to the public.

Unknowingly, Ye Luo's business empire is quietly changing the fate and lives of some small people.

Maybe his efforts and actions cannot affect the general environment, but he will feel extremely gratified if it can truly bring a glimmer of good news to the poor people at the bottom.

Since he has traveled to the most difficult and painful period in this country, as a time traveler, he naturally hopes to contribute his small amount to his homeland.

Early this morning, Ye Luo was escorted by Shi Jianqiao and walked out of the head office lobby of Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank.

Chen Guangfu smiled and sent Ye Luo out all the way, feeling happy that he could cooperate with this influential figure in Shanghai.

"Second Young Master, if you are of any use to me in the future, please speak up." Chen Guangfu sent Ye Luo to the car door, and before leaving, he did not forget to add something to show his sincerity.

He now has a headache because the Jinling National Government is planning to establish a National Central Bank, and then Song Ziwen, the current Minister of Finance, will serve as the general president to coordinate and manage all domestic private banks.

Today, most of the financial industry is controlled by foreign banks. Citigroup and HSBC are the two financial giants. The other half is in the hands of wealthy aristocrats. For example, several Yanyun Banks are in the hands of the four major families, and they are all very large. It is huge, far beyond what small banks like them can match.

Throughout the Republic of China, domestic industry, commerce, and finance were inseparable from bureaucratic capital.

If you want to open a company or build a factory in China, no one will care about you until the scale is big. Pay taxes on time and in full, manage all kinds of relationships, and pay a protection fee to the local snakes, and the business will be opened smoothly.

But once it becomes a big company that is making a lot of money every day, without any official background protection, it is basically a piece of fish that can be slaughtered by others.

Especially big fat like Shanghai Commercial and Savings Bank.

The only solution is to actively invite warlords and bureaucrats to take shares, or to cooperate with the most powerful local Chinese businessmen or foreigners with a higher say in the concession. Only in this way can the business be safe and unhindered.

Chen Guangfu had met Ye Luo several times at Citibank before, but it was just a casual acquaintance without much interaction.

This time Ye Luo actually came to ask him for cooperation, which flattered Chen Guangfu.

Watching Ye Luo's Rolls-Royce Phantom leave, Chen Guangfu turned back to his secretary and said, "In a moment, prepare some generous gifts and send someone to deliver them to Ye Mansion. By the way, ask about the preferences of the Ye family. Send some to everyone.”

"Yes, general manager. But is this second young master really worth your efforts to make friends with?" the secretary couldn't help but ask.

Chen Guangfu rolled his eyes at him: "Do you know how much money he has deposited in our bank now? That's almost as much as our profit for more than half a year!"

He thought this secretary was very clever before, but after hearing that he dared to question Ye Luo's strength, Chen Guangfu secretly decided to let this secretary pack up and leave later.So blind!

Rolls-Royce Phantom back seat.

Ye Luo opened the investigation report written by Chen Guangfu himself and handed it to Xiao Aqiao beside him.

Little Aqiao is pregnant, but this time it is about taking over Paramount. She insists on helping Ye Luo despite the objections of Ye Yuqiao and his wife.

Ye Luo had no choice but to agree to her, but asked Xiao Aqiao to stay within a few steps of him wherever she went!
"The company's equipment expenses have exceeded its capital. In addition, the company's operations have been poor this month, so the debt is currently huge. However, there is still hope for its business future. It may be that the shareholders increase the capital and the Yip Investment Company takes over. It will not be difficult to gradually "To make up for the debt" (Part of the content of this investigation report is taken from historical facts)
After Xiao Aqiao read the investigation report word for word, she always felt that what happened these days was like a dream, which made her both happy and worried.

What if it’s really a dream?
I originally thought that Ye Luo would let her stay in Fengming Tower as an old girl for the rest of her life.

Unexpectedly, he would get a Ye's Dance Company for himself in a blink of an eye.

Later, he took over the Chinese and French Pharmacy and established Ye's Pharmaceutical Company. He also launched the best-selling product Longhurendan, which directly dominated the Rendan market!
Now, he wants to give Paramount to himself again!

Moreover, he promised to marry him together on that day!
Little Ah Qiao feels that she is the happiest woman in the world.

Ten years ago, when she saw him who was only 12 years old but with clear eyes and eye-catching eyes, she did not hesitate and decisively signed the "deed of sale" he gave her. This was always the best decision she thought she had made in her life!
"How about it? I told you that before the end of October, I will make you the richest woman in Shanghai!" Ye Luo gave a rare naughty smile, put his arms around Xiao Aqiao's slender waist, and moved closer to her red lips. , it smells so good.

Little Ah Qiao's face was flushed, and there was Shi Jianqiao driving in the front seat!

"Ye's Dance Company, Ye's Pharmaceutical Company, and Paramount, this is just the beginning. I want the whole world to know that I, Ye Luo, am the richest man in Shanghai, and my woman is also the richest woman in Shanghai! "

Ye Luo hugged Xiao A and asked with a smile,

"How is your husband treating you?"

"Okay~ My heart is melted by you." Little Aqiao bit his ear and whispered, her face flushed, and she felt as if her body was melting in his arms.

Seeing the two people behind her chatting with each other, Shi Jianqiao, who had eaten a mouthful of dog food, was envious and jealous. She happened to arrive at her destination, Huo Mansion. Originally, she wanted to make a sudden stop to scare Ye Luo, but she thought that Xiao Aqiao was pregnant. , quickly gave up the idea, and said with a puffed mouth: "Second Young Master, Huo Mansion is here!"

Ye Luo heard her dissatisfaction, laughed, and took the initiative to get out of the car. Then he opened the car door for little Aqiao and helped her to the front of Huo Mansion.

Looking at this splendid, palace-like villa, the smile on Ye Luo's face gradually faded.

Since the Republic of China, the three tycoons of Yongxing Company have always been his biggest enemies.

And this was also the first time in his life that he entered the home of his mortal enemy.

But this time he came as a debt collector.

Ye Luo looked up at the golden signboard, snorted coldly, and asked Xiao Aqiao to hold her arm, followed by Shi Jianqiao with a serious expression, and walked towards Huo Mansion step by step.
