1928: The Rise of Giants

When talking about the stock market, the two took advantage of the situation to talk about the current economic crisis in the United States.

Yelow asserted that European countries such as Britain, France, and Germany would be affected by the United States, and the level of industrial production in the capitalist world would undergo a substantial regression.

Mrs. Sun deeply agrees with this.

In 1927, the principal launched the April Incident, and Mrs. Sun, together with many leftist members, a certain comrade, Dong Biwu and other underground organization members jointly issued a telegram severely condemning it.

On July 7, when Jiangcheng, controlled by Wang and others, held a meeting of the Communist Party, she issued a solemn statement announcing a complete break with it.

Later, she was elected as a member of the Revolutionary Committee composed of 25 people including Comrade Zhou, and served as a member of the 7-person presidium.

On the day of the uprising, she and 22 other people, including a certain comrade, issued a declaration in the name of Central Committee members, calling on all revolutionaries to unite, inherit Mr. Sun's legacy, and "continue to fight against imperialism and implement the solution to the land issue."

From then on, she broke up with the Song family and the Jiang family, and went to Europe to study alone. She was originally scheduled to return to China in August 1931, because she heard the news about the bursting of the US stock market bubble in Germany, and learned that Ye Luo was stirring up trouble here. , so I came over for a visit.

Mrs. Sun and Situ Meitang were also old friends. They were introduced by Situ Meitang and soon met Ye Luo.

After a long conversation, she found that the young man sitting in front of him was more stable and capable than she imagined. No wonder her snobbish sister liked him so much and even became sworn brother and sister.

Mrs. Sun has lived in Germany for some time and agrees with Ye Luo's views.

"The political situation in Germany is very unstable at this time. The number of seats of the Swastika Party is constantly increasing. Their propaganda can be seen and heard everywhere. The contradictions in their speeches are deliberately directed to other political parties, and they keep saying that it is the Jews who have occupied the country. The living space of the Li’an nation”

Mrs. Sun said worriedly.

Germany was the initiator of World War I, and its changes made people uneasy.

"This is typical militarism. The same is true for the Japanese invaders. There are even people on the streets of Tokyo openly promoting the invasion of China. Once the world economic crisis intensifies, they will inevitably transfer internal conflicts to the outside." Ye Luo nodded.

Mrs. Sun sighed: "It's a pity that we can't stop the Party. Do you think the Japanese invaders will really attack us?"

"Whether we have this intention or not, we must understand one thing. Judging from our current national strength, it is difficult to resist the Japanese invasion. The development of industry, science, economy, and military... these things cannot be delayed." Ye Luo changed the subject. When he came back, he explained his thoughts.

After hearing this, Mrs. Sun was greatly shocked and said with a smile: "The second young master is the real national industrialist. The rich people in the country only think about how to please my brother-in-law or exploit the people. No one has ever done this for the country." , thinking about the future.”

"Madam, you are overly complimentary. I am only doing my best." Ye Luo waved his hand, "In December, I should also make plans to return to China."

"Let me go back with you." Mrs. Sun suddenly said, "I haven't returned to the Republic of China for many years."

"Then please ask Madam to stay in our company's hotel first." Ye Luo was speechless. He originally just chatted with Madam Sun for a few words. After all, he is such a famous person who has been famous for a century. It was inevitable to be excited after meeting him, but he didn't expect to chat with her. Then, the butterfly wings started to flap.

In the original history, Mrs. Sun only returned to the country in August of the following year. If she went back now, wouldn't something unexpected happen?
But Ye Luo couldn't show off his concerns, so he could only agree to the other party first.

In fact, Mrs. Sun just felt something from her heart. She felt that compared with Ye Luo, her evasive study trip behavior could not be put on the stage at all. People who really want to continue the revolutionary cause should persevere no matter what the difficulties are.

Just like this second young master.

After saying goodbye to Ye Luo, she was escorted by Xu Wenqiang to the Roosevelt Hotel in Hollywood to check in. When she got to the room, she picked up a pen and paper and wrote a letter——

Comrade Zhou, Comrade XX, hello:
Long time no see, are you two okay? I have decided to return to the Republic of China in December. At this time, I am in the United States, under the care of the second young master from Shanghai. I wonder if you two know this person.

Second young master.
After finishing writing a long letter of several thousand words, she breathed lightly and looked at the last sentence, "He has not joined any party yet. I hope that you two can secretly assess him. If you can guide him to join the organization, it will be a blessing." "After thinking about it for a long time, I still haven't erased it. It’s always good to give it a try.

Judging from his words and deeds, it is obvious that he is not the same person as the principal.

Ye Luo, who had finally solved all these trivial matters, still didn't know that he was being targeted. He and his people rushed to the American pharmaceutical company and acquired most of its shares at a low price of US$300 million. The fat white boss was kicked out directly. American pharmaceutical companies began to reorganize.

As December approached, he began to use the large amount of funds on hand to acquire companies, seize resources, and recruit various technical talents.

A capital of 30 billion US dollars was simply illegal in 1929. At that time, the annual fiscal revenue of the United States was only more than 50 billion, and there was no way to stop his rogue behavior of robbery.

Rockefeller and other financial groups have understood that the Chinese do not regard money as money at all.

After receiving such a large amount of capital, a normal capitalist first wants to enjoy it first, and then see how to make money quickly. He was good at it. Not long after, 10 billion US dollars of capital was spread out, and the dozens of companies he had brought down were sold at high prices. Stock companies acquire equipment and technologies one by one, just like harvesting vegetables, one after another without stopping.

YB Bank was so generous, and many Americans gradually came to know that there was a Ye's investment company that was willing to spend money and had money, so they came to join them one after another.

In the era of economic downturn, everyone is tightening their belts and living a life. Large companies are laying off employees and cutting wages, and small and medium-sized companies are going bankrupt. Yip's investment is not good. It rises instead of falling, and it has naturally become the only choice in the market. .

In this way, until the end of November, Ye Luo completed the acquisition of half of the country in New York, and 11% of the companies in the entire West became his possessions.

Such a large-scale acquisition also caused the US$30 billion to shrink rapidly. At this time, Ye Luo still had about 12 billion left on hand, and he stopped at this time.

Livermore and a group of partners watched Ye Luo do this in the American business world, and they really didn't dare to participate this time.

This behavior is crazy.

It is a good thing to strengthen yourself, but it is unwise to become fat in one go.

For this reason, old Joseph and Ma Mourui also came to give advice. As Livermore's "wife", Huixin naturally came with her husband's opinions.

But Ye Luo didn't listen at all.

He seemed to be working hard with others, and he became more and more enthusiastic about acquisitions.

This battle also frightened Franklin. At first, Ye Luo said that he would do this, and he supported it because it would at least revitalize New York's economy, but he did not expect that Ye Luo would do this!
Everyone thought that Ye Luo was too ambitious and would get himself into trouble, but Ye Luo himself regretted that the funds were far from enough.

He had to get the remaining 12 billion to the Republic of China and other places, and he could no longer move it.

This is also the basic plan for Ye’s investment in other countries in the future.

Now, for the first time, he felt that the money he earned was not enough.

There are still many top industries in the future that we have not been able to get involved in, and some companies with great potential can only be let go and let other consortiums take them.

Whenever he sees other American consortiums acquiring some favorite companies, he feels a pang of pain.

That should all be his!
In this way, the time finally came to December. (End of chapter)
