1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 301 Huo Tianhong sweeps the streets

Lingjun?

Why is this name so familiar?

Kong Lingjun?
The second young lady of the Kong family?

Liu Weichi looked at Ye Luo and the others who were about to leave the office, stood up suddenly and said: "Second Young Master Ye, please stay!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Luo knew that the matter was mostly successful. He smiled and took Kong Lingjun's little hand and returned to Liu Weichi's office.

"Does Minister Liu have any other instructions?" Ye Luo looked at him with a half-smile.

Liu Weichi was a little embarrassed. He looked at Kong Lingjun and then looked at Ye Luo and his wife. After holding it in for a long time, he asked awkwardly: "Does this kid belong to the second young master and the second young mistress?"

The word "daughter" is really hard to say.

They only got married on December 12th. In the past month and a half, it was impossible to have a daughter who was about ten years old!

Seeing his worried look, Ye Luo smiled faintly: "Ah, she is the child of my distant relative. What's the matter? Minister Liu also knows her?"

Ye Luo deliberately used words to confuse him. Liu Weichi looked embarrassed and could only continue to ask: "This child looks a bit like the second daughter of Minister Kong's family. I wonder if I got it wrong."

"Ah, Lingjun is indeed the second daughter of Minister Kong's family. I went to Jinling a few days ago, and the principal and his wife asked me to be Lingjun's tutor. I really can't refuse, alas." Ye Luo said it lightly, but Liu Weichi was heartbroken when he heard it. Terrified.

This second young lady of the Kong family was entrusted by the principal and his wife!
Kong Lingjun's little eyes were wide open. He didn't know why these two adults suddenly talked about him. However, when he saw this middle-aged man who was so arrogant just now talking about his family, his expression instantly turned to respect and gentleness, which made the little guy pause. Feeling so proud, I couldn't help but secretly puff up my chest.

Ye Luo was Kong Lingjun's tutor and was personally appointed by the principal and his wife. He could always keep Kong Xiangxi's beloved second daughter with him. Liu Weichi did not believe that he had nothing to do with the Kong family.

If he was an ally of the Kong family, it would be particularly stupid to block his project.

After much thought, Liu Weichi thought it would be better to sell a favor to Ye Luo. Anyway, he would not be losing money by promoting bicycles through the city hall.

"Second Young Master, I just thought about it. Promoting bicycles in the city hall is indeed beneficial to the lives of employees. I will take the time to pass your plan to Mayor Zhang Dingyao for a look." Liu Weichi changed the topic and said to him with a smile.

This is a promise.

Ye Luo nodded slightly: "Okay, then I will just wait for the good news."

"Okay, then you go slowly. Lingjun, you can come to Uncle Liu's house to play more often when you have time!" Liu Weichi looked at Kong Lingjun with a smile on his face, which made the little girl shudder and quickly pushed Ye Luo away.

The three of them returned to the car. Bai Xiuzhu gently hammered Ye Luo's chest and whispered: "Husband, why do you even take advantage of children in your business? This is too..."

"What kid?" Kong Lingjun raised his little head, crossed his shoulders with his hands, and said proudly, "I'm not a kid."

"You're only ten years old, you're not too young! If you follow him like this, sooner or later you, the teacher, will betray you." Bai Xiuzhu nodded her forehead.

Kong Lingjun held his head and shook it like a rattle: "He doesn't have this ability!"

When Bai Xiuzhu said this, Kong Lingjun also realized that she was being used as a weapon, but her thinking was different from that of ordinary children. She felt very proud that the teacher who was respected by her aunt and uncle still relied on her for help.Ye Luo spotted her little temper and laughed without criticizing it.

Once Liu Weichi is taken care of, the large-scale promotion of bicycles will not be a problem. The next targets are the middle-class employees of foreign companies, progressive students who have studied abroad, and the children of officials in aristocratic schools. These people are the first mainstream audience for bicycles. , and must be held firmly in hand.

The staff of the foreign company were naturally entrusted to Bai Xiuzhu and Xiao Aqiao to encourage them. Ye's investment took the lead. The management who owned cars must have money to buy bicycles. Some wealthy families in the middle class and below could also afford them. As for those who For ordinary employees who have just joined Ye's and are strapped for cash, Ye Luo can also use Ye's joint venture bank to provide them with some internal benefits, preferential loans and the like.

Anyway, when he was first doing the Chevrolet 490 business, he had already instilled the concept of installment loans into the people of Shanghai.

People from the aristocratic school, Ye Luo planned to let Feng Chengcheng and Tang Ying to promote it. If Ye Qingqing was here, this girl from the aristocratic girls' school would be the best choice.

As for the progressive students who were the largest group and the largest audience in the early bicycle industry, Ye Luo also had a breakthrough.

After sending Bai Xiuzhu and Kong Lingjun home, Ye Luo asked Cao Fan to take him and Shi Jian non-stop to Siming New Village. During the process, he took a detour to the headquarters of Shenbao and News.

Nowadays, Lin Yuan, the brother-in-law, is responsible for contacting Shen Shen and Liangyou Pictorial. As Shen Shen's number one enemy, the News was originally unwilling to be included in Ye's system, but last time Li Haoxuan, the son of the News' editor-in-chief Li Boyu, almost died as an editor. Fortunately, Yeluotuo had connections and sent him to a foreign hospital for all-out treatment, only to save his life.

Since then, Li Boyu has said nothing on the surface, but his attitude towards Ye has obviously changed.

After taking care of the newspaper office under Ye's system, Ye Luo went straight to the News Building.

This bicycle promotion is not only to make money, but also to completely pull out a thorn in his heart.

Yongxing Company collapsed, Lu Yusheng died, Zhang Wanlin ran to be the dog of the Japanese invaders, and the remaining Green Gang members under their command were all wiped out. The only remaining intact force was the one who failed to fight against Ye Luo in the past. Yu Likui fled to the French Concession.

Yu Likui, nicknamed "Rickshaw Driver", is known as the King of Rickshaws and controls the rickshaw business in Shanghai. However, after the disaster, he became the fish that slipped through the net.

As long as the rickshaw is in operation, he will never die completely.

Why is Ye Luo so eager to develop bicycles? He wants to completely eliminate rickshaws from the era.

This is a backward industry that can only exist in a country with underdeveloped social power. It treats people as livestock and beasts to pull carts, and continues to exploit them without giving them a way to survive. This is extremely inhumane.

Just like in the famous novel written by Mr. Lao She, the rickshaw driver tried his best just to have a rickshaw of his own and continue to be used as a livestock for others. Is this reasonable?
Luotuo Xiangzi was not lazy at first, nor was he greedy for beauty. He was strong, hard-working, and believed in getting rich through hard work. He believed in suffering first and then sweetness.

But in the end, what did society tell him?

As long as you are willing to endure hardship, there will be endless hardship!

Eliminate rickshaws and introduce bicycles, and then after the motorcycle is built, consider introducing the three-wheeled motorcycle, which will be a hit in the future.

Speaking of which, where is Huo Tianhong?

Thinking like this, Ye Luo came to the door of the News Building and suddenly felt that the old man sweeping the street opposite looked familiar.

Isn't this Huo Tianhong, the former famous boss of Yongxing Company?
