1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 202 Feng Chengcheng

When the person in charge of Watsons Soda Drink Co., Ltd. heard that someone was going to take away the distribution rights of "Tadpole Wax", and the other party was the famous second young master Ye Luo, he immediately changed the general manager to discuss with Ye Luo.

This small business deal went smoothly and the speed was surprisingly fast.

From the other party's tone of wanting to give it away for free, Ye Luo felt that Coca-Cola was really hurting Watsons Soda Co., Ltd.

The last time he parked his car to wait for someone, he went to a small store to buy cigarettes. The owner of the store gave him Coca-Cola directly after buying cigarettes. This shows that this black drink with "tadpole" in the translation is very unpopular.

This is a great thing for Ye Luo.

There is nothing wrong with Coca-Cola itself. It is only a matter of time before it becomes popular all over the country. And now that it can win its general distribution rights in the country at a low price, it means that Ye's will have another towering money tree.

This will be the super drink second only to Pepsi in the future.

Moreover, with the decline of the Woodruff family, Coca-Cola Corporation changed owners several times. In the end, its largest controlling shareholders were all huge capital groups, and no individual shareholding could affect the decision-making of its parent company.

This also means that Ye Luo can first distribute Coca-Cola domestically, and then slowly use overseas capital to encroach on its head office, making Ye Luo one of its important holding groups.

Ye Luo's abacus crackled, and the general manager of Watsons across the street smiled and thanked: "Second Young Master, it's settled! I will immediately send someone to send a telegram to the head office in the United States, informing them that the distribution rights have been transferred to you."

"That's good work." Ye Luo smiled and hung up the phone, and looked up at the clock. It was still two hours before Feng Chengcheng's train arrived in Shanghai. He stood up and called Shi Jianqiao.

Xue Leng heard his voice and quickly walked over with her big windbreaker in hand, twisting her waist.

"Second Young Master, it's cold outside, please put on more clothes." She picked up the brand new windbreaker and helped Ye Luo put it on, without the cold expression she had when facing other men.

"You didn't go to the restaurant with them?" Ye Luo faced Xue Leng and asked her to help tie her tie.

Xue Leng shook her head slightly: "They are a group of grown men, why should I, a woman, join in the fun? I will wait for Feng Rou and the others to come back later and cook something to eat with them."

"That's okay." Ye Luo nodded, glanced at the darkening sky outside the window, and said with a smile, "Let my sister-in-law buy you a big villa someday. It won't be a problem for you to rent a house in the French Concession now. Also, you guys Four of you are not too young yet, and you have always been with me and little Aqiao. Do you want to be a maid for the rest of your life?"

"Are the Second Young Masters going to drive us away?!" Xue Leng raised her head, her cold eyes suddenly filled with mist, and asked in a trembling tone, "Are you tired of us?"

"No way." Ye Luo waved his hands quickly. He thought that the slightly older Xue Leng would be more stable than that girl Xiaoli. In his eyes, these women who have been following him and Xiao Aqiao will get married and start a family sooner or later. And his reputation in this regard is not good, and if they always crowd around him, he will be affected.

There is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. He sincerely hopes that everyone with whom he has a good relationship can have a happy ending.

"That's good." Xue Leng wiped the corners of her eyes and gave a rare smile, "But our money is not enough to buy a big villa. The house prices here in the French Concession are scary high. An ordinary small garden house has complete facilities and some servants. , at least 5000 oceans and up."

The four of them can barely squeeze out thousands of dollars together, but all their savings are spent on the house. What will they do with their monthly expenses in the future?
"Haha, your second young master has plenty of houses, and the four of you are now the proprietresses of the dance hall. I'm afraid you don't know how profitable our Ye's Dance Company is." Ye Luo rubbed Xue Leng's cheek and looked at her The pouted look was no longer as cold as before, but rather playful and cute. I couldn't help but rub it a few more times.

Xue Leng really didn't know how profitable the dance hall under her name was. Anyway, as the general manager, she just held a temporary position. She only needed to go over occasionally to check on the business situation and adjust internal conflicts.

Such a dance hall is no longer considered a small industry. Before they took over, Ye Luo had already arranged a team to assist them in its operation and management.

Let them name themselves, firstly, to train the abilities of these confidants, and secondly, so that they can have stable assets and income if they really leave themselves in the future.Ye Luo joked with her for a while, and then left No. 32 Xiafei Road with Shi Jianqiao.

At the end of October, the weather has turned cooler, and the leaves on the tall trees on the roadside are gradually turning yellow and falling quietly, giving it a sense of autumn.

Since Shi Jianqiao wore the cheongsam that day, she rarely wears fancy clothes anymore. Instead, she carries a small bag like those young ladies from the Republic of China, and wears high heels, so she can barely walk without twisting her waist or swaying her hips.

She did this not because she loves beauty, but to confuse others. No one would have thought that such a woman dressed as a young lady of the Republic of China was actually a master of martial arts. There was no cosmetic bag or change in the small handbag, only a Browning pistol. And several hidden weapons!
There were six Ford V8s parked behind the Rolls-Royce Phantom. Seated in the cars were all men in black. They were all core members of Ye's security company. Several of them had been with Ye Hao for more than ten years and were the most important members of the Ye family. Heartfelt subordinate.

The weather is getting colder and there are natural and man-made disasters in the north. More and more people are coming to the south to escape disasters. Especially several villages in the suburbs of the county are almost full of people. This has also led to an increase in the number of robbers committing crimes recently. Several villages in the south have In order to survive the winter, the bandit leaders also began to attack wealthy country gentlemen.

Ye Hao was worried that his younger brother would be targeted by someone who wanted to, so he arranged for six cars of bodyguards to stay with him every day to protect Ye Luo's safety.

Ye Luo and Shi Jianqiao got into the car, and the six Ford V8s immediately separated into three cars in front and three cars in the back, always alert to the surrounding situation.

"Second Young Master, I put the personal information of Miss Feng Chengcheng you want on the back seat." Shi Jianqiao became more and more neat in doing these things. After following Ye Luo for a long time, she gradually realized that the power of the individual ultimately She was limited, and the idea of ​​practicing martial arts crazily like before, and then trying to assassinate Sun Chuanfang to avenge her father, seemed to her now to be silly and naive.

But this kind of thinking is also common to most women in the Republic of China.

They had not been able to go out to study, work, or contact the outside world before, and their thoughts were bound and imprisoned by tradition, let alone being bosses, establishing power, and controlling subordinates like men.

She was very impressed by Xiao Aqiao's success.

While Shi Jianqiao maintained his habit of practicing martial arts, he was also being subtly influenced by Ye Luo.

She took a temporary job at Ye's Security Company and gradually developed her own network of contacts.

And asking for all kinds of information is her specialty.

Ye Luo picked up Feng Chengcheng's personal information and read it carefully.

There are many versions of Feng Chengcheng in his impression, just like Shi Jianqiao.

After actually seeing her appearance, Ye Luo was sure that Miss Shi Jianqiao was more inclined to the second Miss Gong in "The Grandmaster" who avenged her father and regretted missing her life from Ip Man.

Different versions of Feng Chengcheng are very different.

What caught Ye Luo's eyes were the braids and cheongsam that were quite familiar to him. Seeing the "Zhao Yazhi" version of Feng Chengcheng, he roughly understood the situation of Miss Feng.

Now Feng Jingyao is the only Chinese businessman in the French Concession in Shanghai who can compete with the three tycoons. If Ye Luo wants to slowly encroach on the territory of the French Concession, he must first join forces with Feng Jingyao.

And if the three tycoons are really related to the Jiang Anlun incident, he will not be able to eat up the large tract of industry that will be given up by then, and he will need others to share the cake.
