Chapter 89: Memorial Ceremony and New Business (Third update, please subscribe and vote monthly!!! Please!)
September 17, the 1928th year of the Republic of China (7).

The Northern Expedition, which lasted for more than three years, finally came to an end. The first thing the principal said after arriving in Peiping was: "The first task of coming to Peking is to pay homage to the Prime Minister's soul."

This was the top priority he wanted to do. For this reason, he went all the way north. Even though he encountered a tragedy in the capital of Shandong Province, he still chose to take a detour and hurried to Beiping Biyun Temple to get Mr. Sun's body!
Today, he can finally plan and preside over the memorial ceremony for the Zhongshan Spirit in Biyun Temple as a family member!

At 7:50 in the morning, guided by the singer, the principal officiated, and the mourners Feng Yuxiang, Yan Xishan, and Li Zongren entered. There were more than 300 people including Bai Chongxi, Shao Lizi, etc., all wearing Chinese tunic suits.

The sacrificial ceremony is as follows: playing music, the chief sacrificer takes his place, the supporting sacrificer takes his place, and the sacrificer takes his place, plays mourning music, the chief sacrificer lays flowers, the chief sacrificer bows three times to the portrait, everyone salutes with the words, reads the sacrificial text, and the chief priest supports the sacrifice. The worshiper pays homage to the remains in front of the coffin, reminiscing silently with the sacrificer, the officiant assists the sacrificer in resetting, observes 3 minutes of silence for the revolutionary martyrs, mourns, plays music, the officiant retires, the worshippers retire, and the sacrificer retires, and the ceremony become.

The principal's memorial message was thousands of words long, and the deep sorrow and remembrance were beyond words. Through the dialogue between the living and the dead, it announced the arrival of a new era.

After saluting, laying flowers, and reading the memorial text, the chief priest and others went to the coffin to pay homage to the remains.

The principal burst into tears, and everyone else burst into tears.

After the revolution of 1919, Mr. Sun was never able to completely control the north. This move was completed by the principal. This memorial ceremony was a ritual political drama directed and starred by him personally, which allowed him to complete the shaping and creation of his peak role. Positioning has laid a substantial political foundation for its super power control in the future.

The subsequent Feng'an Ceremony was also the continuation and expansion of this ritual politics.

He just turned 37 this year. In 1922, he was not even considered a small character when he rode for Mr. Sun on the Yongan ship in [-]. He had been waiting for this day for a long time.

the same day.

Inside the Ye Mansion.

Real-time broadcasts continued to come from the crystal radio. This grand memorial ceremony was the biggest event at the moment. Countless people squatted in front of the radio and listened carefully. In fact, such national events are as far away as the stars to most people. They don't care at all who is who, who has done what, they just want to talk about it after dinner.

"Unified." Ye Yuqiao sighed in his heart. He didn't know whether this was good or bad for the Ye family. He just felt that an old era was going away and a new era was approaching. At this time, there will always be countless people. sigh.

"It's nominal, it doesn't count, and it doesn't mean much. He just wants to be famous." Ye Luo put down the tea cup in his hand and said calmly.

Ye Hao was stunned for a moment. As arrogant as he was, he didn't dare to say such things behind his back. He turned to look at his younger brother, his face did not change and his heart did not beat when he spoke. No wonder Zhang Dingyao and others were sure that he would kill everyone in Shanghai's business community. !

No respect for ghosts and gods, no fear of warlords, no fear of gangs!
This is the second young master of the Ye family!

Ye Qingqing and a group of other women rarely played cards and hid in the room holding a crystal radio to listen together.

"Is this principal the highest official?" Li Wenting, the second aunt, didn't understand politics and asked casually while cracking melon seeds.

Ye Qingqing rolled his eyes at her and said with a smile: "Second mother, this is the number one figure in the National Government at the moment! What do you think?"

"Then what is the number of the person he worships? Could it be zero?" Li Wenting continued to chuckle, "Anyway, it's in Peiping, so it won't affect Shanghai."

"Their warlords only know how to fight with their own men, and they have left our homeland full of holes. We all deserve to die!" Shi Jianqiao stood aside and said calmly. She was as cold as an iceberg and tall. Whenever she mentioned these warlords, she would There is no good tone.

"The second young master told me the same thing." Bi Yunxia didn't understand this even more, but she had occasionally heard Ye Luo comment on this principal before, and now she knew that he was such a powerful person. She shrank her head and didn't dare to mention Ye Luo. Luo's evaluation was released.

"Seriously? Does he think the same way?" Shi Jianqiao smiled brightly and looked over.

"Yeah." Bi Yunxia nodded slightly, thinking that no matter what the second young master said to her or what he did from now on, she would obey him and not resist or tell anyone, so as not to cause trouble for him.

"Okay, okay, talking about this is not as interesting as playing cards." Zhang Anyi, the youngest, yawned. She has been playing with her sisters these days and is so comfortable that she doesn't want to go to a Chinese and Western girls' school. "I'm already sleepy. "

downstairs.

Ye Luo turned the radio to listen to the new program of Asia and America Radio.This is a new thing he proposed to Su Guoguo. It mixes current affairs and politics with some storytelling, opera songs, or humanistic anecdotes to enrich the content of the program.

Today's radio stations are either controlled by foreigners and broadcast messy foreign news all day long, or there are a few domestic radio stations that insert advertisements in order to make a living. After listening for 30 minutes, 25 minutes are full of various advertisements.

The advent of Asia-American Radio, coupled with the last exclusive interview program, instantly became popular, and its listening rate once surpassed other Chinese radio stations.

Ye Luo also took the opportunity to formally pay for the acquisition of Yamei. After negotiating with the three Suzuo brothers, the Yamei Radio Factory was renamed Ye's Radio Factory, while the name of Yamei Radio Station remained unchanged. Everything continued to be run by the three brothers, but the ownership Under Yip's Investment Company.

With Ye Luo as a rich man, the life of Yamei Radio Factory finally got better. Like the Chinese Advertising Company, it had a chance to make a comeback.

These changes in the business world are all trivial, because Shanghai is now under martial law. Shi Zhongcheng and others are sweeping away gangs in the county and suburbs. To prevent accidental injuries, many people dare not go out and wait for the sweep to end.

No matter how big or small, any gang of any size has been severely repaired.

Tan Si's pier gang was careless the past few days and was plowed several times. He finally realized that his name as a member of the General Chamber of Commerce Committee was not useful. Since you are a businessman, why did you gather to make trouble and illegally control the pier? Workers and business?
A lot of oceans were sent to the security headquarters and then returned.

The only one that suffered less damage was Yip's Investment Company and all the properties under its name.

For some reason, these soldiers took a detour from this type of industry, and did not care about the employees of Ye's Security Company.

In just three days, all the cells in the Songhu Police Department were full, and many people were transferred to Longhua Prison. However, this was different from the last time when the rickshaw pullers caused trouble at Ye's Automobile Shop. They were not released after being detained for a few times.

"This is probably the earliest crackdown on gangs and evil." Ye Luo snickered while drinking tea. This time he swept across Shanghai, and with the principal's memorial ceremony, nominal unification was achieved. He thought he had the qualifications to be the leader. Then the natural next step is to peacefully persuade the young marshal to change his banner, and then start to gradually clean up the other warlords who invaded the north with him, and by the way develop the southern economic city of Shanghai, Jinling.

Well, everything seems to be working.

But he overlooked one very fatal thing, or he thought it was unimportant and not a priority right now.

That's the Japanese invaders!
So this is destined to be a spring and autumn dream.

Ye Luo took a bite of the pear and saw Bi Yunxia on the card table. He was too embarrassed to ask her to help him peel the pears and eat them, so he could only wave to Xiaoli to come and serve.

Xiaoli pursed her lips and was reluctant. She hadn't hired any new maids in the past few days, so she suddenly played the role of six maids, because Xiao Aqian temporarily stayed in the third concubine's room and came again. There was Miss Zhang Anyi who had to live alone in a room. Now that she is fine, and with Shi Jianqiao who will be adopted as a foster daughter by Li Shuzhen, there are not many rooms left.

Xiaoli had to take care of Ye Luo's daily life and physical needs at the same time!
The one with a small mouth is bitter and fishy.

"Why are you looking so sad? Be careful not to get married!" Ye Luo stretched out her hand and pulled her cheek into a big pie!
Xiaoli flattened her lips and said while peeling the pear, "I don't want to be gray. Xiaoli doesn't want to get married!"

After teasing Xiaoli for a while, Ye Luo sat next to his father and eldest brother. The two looked at him doubtfully. He took a bite of the skinless pear and said with a smile: "Dad, eldest brother, after I have rested these days, I plan to It’s officially a new business.”

"Oh? Ah Luo, what are your plans? I can't wait any longer!" Ye Hao asked, gearing up.

"What do you think?" Ye Luo looked at him with a smile.

Ye Hao thought for a moment and said: "An Yi's brother and father are still outside. Since you decided to cooperate with Zhang Shibo and specifically left Ruishan Construction Company, do you want to engage in construction? Why, you also want to do one Sassoon Building?”

The Sassoon Building, completed next year, was funded by the Jewish tycoon Sassoon and became the very famous Peace Hotel in later generations.

If you want to compete with this wealthy Jewish richest man in building a landmark, Yeluo will definitely lose.

He shook his head and flew the nuclear bomb in his hand into the trash can: "No, I plan to work in the entertainment industry."
