1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 246 Don't even try to escape

The Steamship Merchants Bureau is indeed a good thing.

After Li Hongzhang, an important official in the late Qing Dynasty, founded this civilian enterprise, over a hundred years and with the efforts of several generations, the Steamship Merchants Group became the largest shipping company in the country, occupying about 25% of the domestic market share——

Although this 25% does not seem to be large, that is because foreign shipping forces account for more than 70% of the domestic market all year round, and even as high as 80% at the peak!

It can be said that although the China Shipping Merchants Group has serious internal corruption and has now become a cash cow for the top officials of the Ministry of Transport, its contribution to the Chinese shipping industry is amazing.

If Ye Luo remembers correctly, the National Government will carry out a series of reorganizations and reconstructions this year, changing it from the Ministry of Transportation to directly under the National Government, and completely bringing it under the control of the Kong family.

It is impossible for Li Guojie to hold on to this family legacy. Let alone him, even if Li Hongzhang crawls out of the ground, he will not be able to prevent the Steamship Merchants Company from changing ownership.

"Li Guojie is greedy, lustful, mediocre and incompetent. He relies on the protection of his ancestors to do whatever he wants. The huge steamship investment company will only be ruined in his hands." Ye Yuqiao sneered and whispered, "Rather than let it be destroyed in Li Guojie's hands, We might as well seize the opportunity and expand our industry.”

"This Jiang'an cigarette shipment incident will become more and more serious. As long as the ship investment agency is secretly involved, Li Guojie will not be able to escape." Ye Luo nodded and smiled, "It's just a low-price auction of the freighter that can still be used. If you give this to a foreigner, it will be enough for him to drink a pot."

"You do it with the National Government, and I'll handle it with Li Guojie." Once Ye Yuqiao makes up his mind, he is much more ruthless than the two Ye Luo brothers.

In his early years, he rebelled in Anhui Province. In response to Mr. Sun's call, he attracted a large number of soldiers and martyrs from Anhui Province. These people dared to fight and were not afraid of death. They followed Ye Yuqiao all the way from Anhui Province to Shanghai and formed the Federation of Labor. Ye Yuqiao's great fame also made Ye Yuqiao famous as the "King of Assassins" in the past.

Later, considering his family, Ye Yuqiao washed his hands and withdrew from the world, disbanded the Ax Gang, erased the name of the assassin king, and stopped accepting orders, but this did not mean that the old brothers of the past were really separated from him.

Now Ye Luo is the real backbone of the Ye family. As long as it is beneficial to him, Ye Yuqiao dares to risk his life!
This is the frightening Ye family!
No matter men, women, old or young, they all dare to risk their lives for the sake of their family!
Even Ye Qingqing, who had been pampered since childhood, consciously went to study in the United States after Ye Luo's words and stopped being addicted to mahjong.

Seeing that Ye Luo agreed to his plan, Ye Yuqiao smiled faintly, patted his shoulder and said: "A Luo, now you are everything to our Ye family. If you can send others to do anything, try not to get involved yourself. You are alive, Ye The family will never fall."

"I know, dad." Ye Luo took out a big ocean from his pocket and waved it in front of Ye Yuqiao's eyes.

The father and son looked at the ocean, looked at each other and laughed in a tacit understanding, saying nothing.

Ye Yuqiao left in a hurry before Xiaoli brought her afternoon tea.

Ye Luo, who thought he could take a short nap, had just stood up when a familiar laughter came from the door.

Wang Hu, who was paunchy and in uniform, came to Ye's house with a team of guards.

"I'm sorry for taking the liberty of visiting you, Second Young Master!" Wang Hu has a strong charlatanism and behaves like a rogue tycoon. He likes to bring a lot of subordinates with him wherever he goes.

Seeing a group of guards standing in the lobby of the Ye family with guns, the servants thought that the police were coming to seal the Ye family, so they all shrank their heads and did not dare to show their faces.Xiaoli was very calm and went to the kitchen to accompany Biyunxia to make tea and snacks without caring.

"Haha, Wang Ting is here to see you. It's so dazzling." Ye Luo smiled and stood up, shook hands with Wang Hu, and pulled him to sit on the sofa together.

"Second Young Master, I'm a big boss, so I won't beat around the bush and say what I have to say directly." Wang Hu looked at him with a sad look on his face, "I hope Second Young Master can help me with something."

"Please tell me." Ye Luo raised his eyebrows.

Wang Hu took out a telegram manuscript and handed it to him: "This is the manuscript we just sent to the city hall, police headquarters and major newspapers and magazines today, but it is already afternoon, and Mayor Zhang and Commander Xiong are not sure. Letter, several newspaper offices heard that they were smashed and ordered not to publish the article."

"This matter is not trivial." Ye Luo pretended to think deeply, glanced at the manuscript, and said calmly, "Wang Ting, the evidence about Jiang'an's cigarette transportation is conclusive. If you had listened to my advice earlier, the matter would not have reached this level. "

"Oh, Second Young Master, I regret it too!" If Wang Hu had known that the Security Command would be involved, he would not have sent just Ma Yongzhen and a few people to intercept the Jiang Anlun.

"I know about this matter. The boss Shi Liangcai who made the report just now has also been here. I am about to leave for the police station to ask for an explanation." Ye Luo returned the manuscript to him, "No matter what, this manuscript will definitely be published by newspapers and periodicals. Go out, Wang Ting, don’t worry.”

"Okay, the sooner the better! This Xiong Shihui is too lawless! The person who openly detained me is not allowed to issue a document? There are people behind him, but not me?" Wang Hu was so angry that the police officers from the Anti-Smuggling Department were transported away. The cigarette dealer was detained. No matter who the person was, the Songhu Police Department's face was completely lost.

Now for this matter, he had to fight the bear-style Huiyu to the death.

"I will try to find out what Mayor Zhang is talking about, but as Wang Ting knows, even you can't convince him, so I can only do my best," Ye Luo sighed.

"Then let me thank the Second Young Master first!" Wang Hu was relieved when he saw Ye Luoken's help. He winked at his subordinates and said with a smile, "I know this matter is very difficult, and I also know that the Second Young Master is a good person. For those who have money, consider these small things as thank you gifts, please accept them, Second Young Master."

Several guards came over carrying a large wooden box. When they opened it, they found a neat box of pistols and bullets!
"Wang Hall?" Ye Luo was stunned for a moment. Is this Wang Hu a real "tiger", blatantly giving him arms?
"Hey, these sticks are all unexplained goods confiscated from bandits and water bandits. The second young master can just accept them with confidence." Wang Hu replied with a smile, "Please be sure to coordinate the Jiang Anlun matter. one time!"

"Then I'll be disrespectful." Ye Luo clapped his hands and asked someone to carry the big wooden box upstairs.

Wang Hu and others knew very well that although Ye Luo was not in politics, his connections and prestige in Shanghai far exceeded that of ordinary businessmen. In addition, he had just gone to Jinling for a meeting, and it was rumored that he and Zhang Hanqing were sworn brothers. friend.

Normally, he is fine and does not reflect Ye Luo's abilities. But at this moment, these people come to him one after another for help.

This is the second young master Ye Luo.

After sending Wang Hu away, Ye Luo didn't take these trivial matters to heart at all. These people were his main dishes, and no one could escape.
