1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 235 Borrowing flowers to offer to Buddha reveals the evil plan
As soon as Ye Luo returned to Ye Mansion, he saw Zhang Mouzhi, Zhang Yuanbei and his son sitting on the sofa in the hall.

The familiar mahjong quartet is no longer around. Ye Qingqing and Zhang Anyi were sent to study in the United States by Ye Yuqiao and his wife. Lin Yuan and others are also busy working in various companies under Ye's Investment Company all day long, and rarely go back to Ye Mansion to rest.

"A Luo!" Zhang Mouzhi saw Ye Luo coming and quickly stood up to say hello.

"Uncle Zhang Shi, are you still used to living in Shanghai?" Ye Luo ran over to shake hands with him, and then pulled him to sit down together. "I heard that the third brother was successfully elected as the mayor of Gan City. I couldn't go over to congratulate him in person. I'm really sorry. What a pity."

"Haha, good luck, just a good tone." Zhang Mouzhi smiled happily, took Ye Luo's hand and said, "The living environment in Shanghai is much better than that in Gan Province. After coming to this Feng Shui treasure land, our Zhang family sometimes has a good time. The signs are indeed gratifying.”

Previously, Zhang Mouzhi had three big mountains on his mind.

The first big obstacle is the declining family business. If he keeps going like this, he, the richest man in Jiujiang, will be surpassed by others.

The second big figure is Zhang Yuanxi, the third son. After graduating from the Department of Architecture at Cambridge University, he quickly became the director of the Ganxi Construction Bureau. However, his career that he thought was a smooth career suddenly came to an abrupt end and he has been stuck in this position for a long time. Three years of wasted time made Zhang Mouzhi very worried.

The third son was the son he valued most. When he married his daughter Zhang Leyi to Song Ziwen, Zhang Mouzhi also had the intention of using his position as the Minister of Finance of the National Government to help his son ascend to power.

Unfortunately, even with the marriage, Zhang Yuanxi's career still failed to improve.

The third big mountain is Zhang Yuanbei, the youngest son in the family.

Zhang Yuanbei was young and energetic, and he was fond of playing without doing his job, which gave Zhang Mouzhi a headache and he couldn't teach him no matter how hard he tried.

Unexpectedly, Song Ziwen made a phone call and introduced him to Shanghai to meet Ye Luo. All three problems in his mind were solved at once.

This is why he is determined to let Zhang Anyi grow up and let her enter the Ye family.

"Yeah, since I met Brother Luo, our construction company has never stopped working. I thought we would take a break after finishing the project a while ago, but I didn't expect another Ye's Joint Venture Bank Building project to come! Haha."

Zhang Yuanbei is now the general manager of Ye's Construction Company. He is well-known in the second-generation rich circle in Shanghai. He is very popular. He always says to everyone that he is the right-hand man of Ye Luo, the second young master. He has quite a lot of influence over Ye Luo. Luo Dang means brother.

"Then I'm afraid you won't even think about being stable this year." Ye Luo looked at him and smiled lightly, "Far Bei, how many engineering teams can the construction company mobilize at the maximum now?"

"Brother Luo, is there a big project?" Zhang Yuanbei had a keen sense of smell and quickly approached and asked, "If the project is big enough, I can put together ten engineering teams!"

"Big, very big." Ye Luo nodded and said to Zhang Mouzhi, "Uncle Zhang Shi, you will be personally responsible for this project. I can rest assured if you work with Yuanbei."

"Do you need me to go in person?" Zhang Mouzhi was stunned for a moment. Now he leaves all small and medium-sized projects to Zhang Yuanbei for training. Even large-scale projects like the Ye's Joint Venture Bank Building, he rarely interferes with them.

"Yes." Ye Luo paused and took out a red encrypted document to show them, "This is it."

"The second phase of Mr. Sun's cemetery!" Zhang Yuanbei couldn't help shouting, "Oh my god, Brother Luo! This is a project that my dad didn't win at the time."

During the first phase of the cemetery project, Song Ziwen and Zhang Leyi were not married yet, so the good things naturally did not happen to Zhang Mouzhi. The second phase of the project was about to start, and Zhang Mouzhi also asked people to ask for a long time, but Song Ziwen kept being vague, which made Zhang Mouzhi and his son feel that it was unlikely, so they just Shelved.

There are too many bidders behind the cemetery project. Even though they lost so much money in the first phase, there are still many companies trying to get it done.

When he went to Jinling, Tang Fulu made it sound like no one wanted him. In fact, there were a lot of competitors, and the company that won the bid had to be personally approved by the principal.

Why is Zhang Mouzhi stuck?It's all about the principal.The relationship between the principal and Song Ziwen was not good. The two once had an argument that turned the table over.

Song Ziwen wanted to benefit his father-in-law, which meant that the Song family would become more and more powerful, so the principal naturally refused.

But he didn't expect Ye Luo to have such a deep friendship with Song Ziwen and Zhang Mouzhi.

Last night Tang Fulu called overnight and said that the principal asked Ye's Construction Company to contract the second phase of the cemetery project.

Ye Luo didn't know how many power struggles and games took place in it. Anyway, he was rushing to the top and had to do it.

It just so happened that this project was given to the Zhang family and his son as a favor.

"In that case, let's leave for Jinling this afternoon! As many engineering teams as we can mobilize in the Far North! Focus on the second phase of the cemetery project!" Zhang Mouzhi was anxious. This was the best opportunity to get in touch with important political figures in Jinling. .

Although he is not involved in politics, he is extremely thirsty for power and will try to take advantage of similar opportunities.

"Well, other Ye's projects should not be left behind." Ye Luo reminded Zhang Yuanbei.

Zhang Yuanbei, on the other hand, was not that enthusiastic about the cemetery project. He was just surprised and nodded.

Seeing that Zhang Mouzhi could not sit still, Ye Luo soon stayed with them. After discussing the details, he personally sent the father and son away from Ye Mansion.

The cemetery project is a pure loss-making business. Ye Luo has a lot of money, but he doesn't want to spend it arbitrarily. Now that Zhang Mouzhi is involved, I'm afraid he will be more willing to spend money and save Ye Luo from spending ineffective expenses.

After arranging all these businesses, Ye Luo took a rare break. Taking advantage of his free time, he closed his eyes and thought about how Huo Tianhong and Zhang Wanlin's goods would arrive in Shanghai.

At this moment, Xiaoli, who was carrying the fruit plate, ran towards him with small steps. Then she put down the fruit plate and said anxiously: "Second Young Master, the man named Ye Chen called several times and said... Want to see you as soon as possible."

"Oh? Didn't we make an appointment at three o'clock in the afternoon? It's just after one o'clock." Ye Luo opened his eyes.

Xiaoli pursed her lips and nodded: "Yes, he is really anxious. He has been calling since the morning. He wishes he could fly over with wings."

"It seems that Ye Chen was forced to panic." Ye Luo chuckled. He probably knew that he was sent to India as cannon fodder to transport smoke. He was so frightened that he regarded Ye Luo as his last life-saving straw.

"Okay, just call him back and tell him to come here secretly so as not to disturb Lu Yusheng's people."

With nothing to do, Ye Luo moved forward the time to see what kind of surprise Ye Chen could bring to him.

"Okay." Xiaoli was also annoyed by guests like Ye Chen, so she immediately ran to make a phone call.

"Speaking of which, the Jiang'an Ship used to be a cargo ship transporting products such as tea and silk. Even if Edward and his friends used it to transport smoke, they would not be able to blatantly load it with smoke. The best way would be to cover it up with normal cargo. "

Ye Luo said to himself, suddenly an idea came to him, and a shuddering feeling came to his heart.
"Use normal goods to cover it up. Could it be Huo Tianhong's goods?"
