1928: The Rise of Giants

Chapter 73 A knife in the back (23)

September 17, the 1928th year of the Republic of China (6).

The National Government of Jinling declared "unification successful", and the "Second Northern Expedition" jointly launched by Chiang, Feng, Yan and Gui was also declared completed.

The Asia-American Radio Station immediately reported the news, and as soon as the news arrived in Shanghai, someone from Su Guoguo sent it to Ye Mansion first.

The Ye Mansion was deserted. All the relatives who used to be attached to the Ye family returned to the county and suburbs, fearing that they would not be able to escape. Ye Yuqiao also took his wife, daughter and other immediate family members to hide in the British Consulate General in Shanghai.

Only two brothers, Ye Luo and Ye Hao, were still active outside. Ye Hao stayed at various lovers' houses every night and rarely returned to Ye Mansion. Instead, the people who lived here were little A Qiao and Zhang Mou's family who came from afar.

Ye Luo jumped left and right between No. 32 Xiafei Road and Ye Mansion.

He has been too busy recently.

The matter of nominal unification was a foregone conclusion after Zhang Dashuai's death, it was just a matter of time.

Seeing Zhang Dingyao and other important political figures extending an olive branch to him, recently even Bai Xiongqi rushed to Jinling to attend a meeting. Shanghai was left without a leader, and Yongxing's second boss Zhang Wanlin suddenly followed Ye, who was going crazy to make things difficult for him. car companies.

Not only that, Yu Likui and Ye Chen also took great actions. The former intensified their efforts and deployed a large number of manpower to interfere with Ye's taxi business at the train station. They also caused a lot of noise. Whenever people from the Songhu Police Department arrived, they A few rickshaw pullers were pushed out to take the blame.

Within a few days, the jail was full, and the cells in the patrol room were also full. These rickshaw pullers had not yet been released on bail, so they had to be given food, sleep and water, so they had to be released.

As soon as he came out, he went to the train station to cause trouble.

Ye Chen's people began to slowly confront Ye's Security Company and Tan Si's Pier Gang. A group of former Labor Federation brothers restrained the people of Ye's Security Company, but the Pier Gang did not give you a good look. Several times After the fight, several people were killed and injured, and Tan Si became very angry. He was sitting in Ye Mansion with a pale face, waiting for a solution.

"Fourth Master, don't be angry, please read this text message from Yamei." Ye Luo took the letter from Xiao Aqiao, glanced at it, and handed it to Tan Si, "Two big news, first, unification The declaration is complete, and secondly, the Nationalist Government will issue a "Foreign Declaration" and demand that it conclude a new treaty with all countries in compliance with due procedures."

"What does the second young master mean?" Tan Si glanced at him and looked at him in confusion, "You know I never deal with those politicians. The Jinling side is dominant and will definitely take over Shanghai Bund, but local gangs like us are deeply rooted here. , there’s not much they can do against us.”

"Fourth Master~ I guess what the Second Young Master means is that if Jinlingfang takes over Shanghai Bund, he will make a move in the business world. And the Second Young Master has the 'Shangfang Sword'. Logically speaking, Yongxing Company They should not continue to cause trouble for the second young master and you."

Yan Yangtian, who was leaning against Tan Si, answered with a sweet smile.

She is the woman Tan Si bought home from Fengming Tower, and now she is the proprietress of Yihuchun, a Fengyue market in the county town. Her style is very different from that of little A Qiao. Her characteristic is just one word——

Sao!
Yan Yangtian has been rolling around in the crowd. She is very sophisticated in people and has a smart mind. She is the more capable of all the women in Tan Si. Her judgment is indeed good.

This is also what makes Ye Luo confused.

Both he and Huo Tianhong are on the list of the new general chamber of commerce committee. Could it be that Huo Tianhong, who recently went to the north, didn't tell the two sworn brothers about this?

Or maybe Huo Tianhong doesn't know it yet?

Judging from Tan Si's reaction today, he didn't know Jinling Fang's specific movements after that.

In other words, the already roughly determined plan to clean up all walks of life in Shanghai has not been disclosed to these Shanghai tycoons.

If you don't tell them, it means that they are also going to be ripped off.

Ye Luo held the letter. It seemed that he had underestimated the principal's appetite.

"That little red guy Zhang Wanlin is not very bright, but if he continues like this, our business will no longer be possible." Tan Si was already really angry. He looked at Ye Luo and waited for a reply.

These days, Yu Likui and Ye Chen's people are constantly causing trouble at various docks. Behind them are the Qing Gang, who do things unscrupulously.

The last time Zhang Hai set up a Dingli fruit stall and wanted to chop down Chow Tai Fook, this was not his personal style. It reflected the behavior of the rickshaw dealers, the New Labor Federation and the youth gang.

Relying on the backing of tycoons, they felt that as long as they were not foreigners, they would not take them seriously.

"Fourth brother, wait a minute, something is wrong, it's too abnormal." Ye Luo did not lose his mind because of this. His goals and code of conduct have always been very clear, and he did not get involved in issues between politicians or gangs. struggle.Just be a pure businessman with a little bit of self-protection ability.

No matter how strong you are, you can't beat the troops with guns in their hands, and now we are no longer in the age of warlords who rise up and dominate one side if they have money and guns.

Zhang Wanlin's behavior is seeking death.

"Seven days, I can only wait seven days at most. Beyond this time, my brothers can't wait." Tan Si suppressed his anger. He wanted to find Ye Hao and team up with people from Ye's Security Company to run directly to him. Zhang Wanlin, Yu Likui and Ye Chen have upset a few of them. Anyway, everyone has a gray industry, let's see who is more ruthless than the other.

Seeing that Ye Luo was not in a hurry, the anger that surged up in his head gradually subsided.

Tan Si is not stupid. He knows Ye Luo's abilities and connections. Since he has invested money in Ye Luo's Automobile Company, he will naturally not be in a hurry.

I'm afraid that Ye Luo's judgment is wrong this time.

"Fourth Master, if you believe me, just listen to me and don't make any big moves this month. Don't let others catch you." Ye Luo smoothed the letter paper again and gave it back to little A'Qiao.

Tan Si nodded silently.

After Tan Si and the two left, Xiao Aqiao hugged Ye Luo's arm tightly and asked in a low voice: "Brother Luo, I have taken care of the people in the Steamship Investment Bureau. If there are any changes, I can arrange a meeting immediately." A ship to Xiangjiang."

Ye Luo nodded slightly.

The stakes were so high that he couldn't put all his chips in one place.

However, if the historical process does not change, then Marshal Zhang will officially communicate with Jinling on July 7, requesting an end to the war, and start discussing cooperation matters with representatives of the Nationalist Government.

Changing flags is a major milestone.

The current situation in Shanghai is very confusing, and a large part of the reason is that Jinling has not yet reached a consensus with Marshal Zhang. Zhang Dingyao and others may also go to Jinling to discuss the matter with internal high-level officials.

Their plan has been decided and has not been disclosed yet, which is actually a good thing for Ye Luo.

He is not afraid of Zhang Wanlin and the others making trouble, but the bigger the trouble, the better. The more this happens, the more it shows that they are being turned into outcasts and are not aware of it.

"By the way, what's going on with Galt?" Ye Luo suddenly thought of this opponent who was about to lose, and was curious about his recent movements.

Until now, there is only one official result left in the battle between dragon and tiger. Ye's Automobile Company has already won a big victory, and the huge investment he has invested is gradually turning into economic benefits. If the business in various places is not still affected by Yu Likui's people, he has invested The money invested should have been repaid long ago.

"Manager Zhou has been keeping an eye on it, and there should be results soon." Xiao Aqiao squeezed his hand, her eyes full of expectation.

Just then, the phone in the hall rang suddenly.

Little Ah Qiao quickly reached out to pick it up: "Hey, this is Ye Mansion, who are you?"

After listening for a while, she covered the phone and looked at Ye Luo with a complicated expression: "Brother Luo, it's Galt's secretary calling!"

"Galt?" Ye Luo sat up straight.

What is this guy looking for?
He reached out and took the phone: "Hello, this is Ye Luo."

"Hello, Boss Ye, I am the secretary of Boss Galt of Yunfei Company. Are you free tonight? Boss Gao would like to have a dinner with you at the Licha Hotel."

"Eating? He and I have nothing to eat." Ye Luo sneered.

"Boss Galt said he wants to talk to you about the transaction of Yunfei Company. Please be sure to come to the banquet."
