1928: The Rise of Giants

After the words were spoken, Zhang Dezhi and several of his confidants were the first to express their stance, then stood up and looked at the others threateningly, and several more people secretly ran to the door to block it.

Xiao Pangdun immediately understood that today we must either memorize it together or do it together.
After thinking about this, he was the first to raise his hand in agreement, which attracted a burst of boasting from Zhang Dezhi.

"Those who know the current affairs are heroes. You are guarding the little things Ye invested. Do you think Ye Luo will let you go? Do you think that if you kneel down and kowtow to admit your mistakes and show that you will work diligently in the future, he will let you go?" Will you continue to return to your original position?”

Zhang Dezhi saw that they were starting to waver, so he immediately struck while the iron was hot and deceived everyone.

After arriving in Shanghai, Ye Luo did not rush back to the company headquarters to deal with the matter. Instead, he asked Sun Liren to drive him to the city hall and directly visited Zhang Qun.

Zhang Qun had long heard about the unsaleable condoms and knew that there was some problem within Ye's Investment. Ye Luo came over in person. He thought he was going to use some party and government forces to help him deal with the aftermath.

After all, as soon as this incident happened, everyone knew that Ye Luo was full of murderous intent. If he really killed a few people, no one would dare to say anything. The heavy responsibility of erasing the subsequent impact of the incident would naturally fall on him, the mayor.

Unexpectedly, Ye Luo asked him to introduce Secretary Xiao Tongzi from the Central Propaganda Department.

The incident didn't affect him, and he didn't seem to have to do anything bad for Ye Luo. Zhang Qun breathed a sigh of relief and immediately called the Jinling National Government for help. He quickly contacted Xiao Tongzi, who was still just the minister's secretary at this time. .

Xiao Tongzi himself was puzzled. With Ye Luo's ability and connections, it was not difficult to contact his minister and even ask him to help him. Why did he need to find a little secretary like himself?

Anyway, for whatever reason, the second young master of Shanghai Beach came to make an appointment in person. Xiao Tongzi took leave and booked the fastest train to Shanghai Beach. But as soon as he walked out of the office building, several luxury cars were waiting outside.

Several employees of Ye's Automobile got out of the car and asked him to get in. They would drive him directly to Shanghai Beach.

This is much faster than taking the train.

However, the expense and expense of giving someone away a car like this is staggering, and most people really can’t afford to do this.

Xiao Tongzi got into the car, feeling surprised at Ye Luo's terrifying financial resources and intelligence capabilities, but also uneasy. As the battle unfolded, what Ye Luo asked him to do was obviously not simple. If he failed, or couldn't do it, He could not imagine how his career would change in the future.

After inviting Xiao Tongzi, Ye Luo went to see Bai Xiongqi again before leaving the city hall.

He didn't care at all what Zhang Qun was worried about.

And if he takes action, with the current coverage and influence of Ye's Security and Ye's Sports, as well as his relationship with the Songhu Police Department and the Garrison Command, let alone sinking a few people into the Huangpu River, it will just be a shootout on the streets. If you go to the concession to kill people, no one will really open your eyes and come to cause trouble for you.

A few small shrimps are not worth Ye Luo's fanfare. What he wants to uproot is a large chain of corruption hidden in Ye's investment. Similar things were done last year with good results. After that, the efficiency of Ye's investment increased significantly. I thought that not long after, it started again.

Whenever this happens, Ye Luo will think of Liu Xuenong during his trip to the United States.

When people face great temptations of interests, they will lose themselves and become unlike themselves. If one day such a situation happens to one of his relatives, Ye Luo will not be particularly surprised.

He just doesn't hope that one day he will personally settle some people who can be regarded as friends and relatives in this life. When Ye Luo approached Xiao Tongzi, he actually hoped that the publicity department in Jinling would be more relaxed about his future advertising, so that he could quickly make up for the lack of publicity and distribution of condoms in the early stage.

Of course, he could go directly to the head of the Propaganda Department to do this, and the other party would definitely help him, but he wanted to give this fat job to Xiao Tongzi and then get closer to him.

I had heard of Xiao Tongzi's famous name Ye Luo in his previous life, but he had not yet made a fortune at this time.

He was born as a skilled worker and believed in socialism. He even organized strikes and demonstrations when he was young. Although he only officially joined the Kuomintang on the eve of the Northern Expedition, due to his outstanding ability, he was promoted very quickly in the past few years and has already held the positions of Secretary to the Propaganda Minister and Chief of the News Collection Section.

During the Central Plains War in the near future, he would go north with Wu Tiecheng to persuade Zhang Hanqing to assist the Jinling National Government in attacking the warlord leaders.

In fact, these are nothing. Xiao Tongzi's real career has not yet started. He will be transferred to the post of president of the Central News Agency after the Central Plains War.

Shortly after Xiao Tongzi became the president of the Central News Agency, he made the Central News Agency independent from the Kuomintang Party Headquarters, and subsequently carried out a series of professional, social, and entrepreneurial reforms.

During his sixteen years in office, he managed to develop the Central News Agency, which had only a few dozen people, into a large news agency with 2600 branches and nearly employees. It is also known as the world's five major news agencies along with Reuters and the Associated Press.

Xiao Tongzi was therefore revered as "Master Xiao" and was known as "the father of China's modern communications industry".

To put it bluntly, he was the principal's top mouthpiece and a super boss in the press during the Republic of China. Even Shi Liangcai and others who applied for the report had to respect him.

Now Ye Luo is in charge of many newspapers in the south. The only one that can compete with Ye's newspaper group is Chen Zhengde's Republic of China Daily. But this is the size given by the principal. Once the Propaganda Department no longer supports him, his energy will not be as good as that of Liangyou Pictorial. Where is Wu Liande?

The newspapers in the north are under the control of Zhang Hanqing. When the Central Plains War is over, Xiao Tongzi will take the staff of the Central News Agency to the north. With the help of the principal, he will slowly encroach on these news newspapers belonging to Zhang Hanqing, and then cooperate with several major Kuomintang parties in the south. The mouthpieces merged one by one to become the largest news agency in the country.

If Ye Luo doesn't contact Xiao Tongzi now, find a way to recruit him, or strangle him in the cradle, then he may not be able to defeat the principal in the domestic public opinion circle in the future.

That night, Xiao Tongzi arrived at the Paramount Ballroom anxiously in a special car.

Ye Luo invited him to dance, and then went upstairs to have dinner in the VIP room.

Xiao Tongzi was trembling. He really couldn't understand the big man's intention, so he could only be cautious and cautious.

"Secretary Xiao, this is Mr. Shi Liangcai, the owner of the declaration, Mr. Fu Kaisen, the owner of the News, and Mr. Wu Liande, the owner of Liangyou Pictorial. Originally, there was another one who was my brother-in-law, a director of Yip's Newspaper. Chang Linyuan, unfortunately he is now in the United States and is taking care of the New York Times that I just bought. He has no time to return to China, so I have to come and take over temporarily. "

Ye Luo introduced each other to everyone with a smile.

These are the top bosses in Shanghai's news world, and Xiao Tongzi is even more frightened.

"Second Young Master, what on earth did you come to see me for?" he asked in a low voice, and looked at a few more people, feeling like a little sheep that had strayed into a pack of wolves. (End of chapter)
