1928: The rise of giant merchants

"2,000 boxes of large cigarettes, in batches of 100 or 200, were dispersed to various coastal towns and completely destroyed by seawater immersion. The total cost is estimated to be 1.25 million oceans. Including the manpower investment in this robbery, in order to get rid of this batch Due to the heavy smoke, Brother Luo lost 1.5 million yuan in vain."

Little Ah Qiao put out the cigarette butt and gently touched her belly. She shouldn't smoke.

But recently, seeing Brother Luo's pressure increasing, she also became a little upset.

The cargo of the Nissin was supposed to sink into the sea with the Jiang'an ship and be cleaned up by Zhang Zhijiang, but in the end it came here through Fan's transportation convoy.

Even if Luo Ge's plan was perfect, it could not stop the top-down corruption of the Nationalist Government.

She somewhat understood why Ye Luo insisted on doing business and took an unusual path.

What other people think is the way and what they think is right is completely useless.

"I know it will be difficult and even dangerous along the way, but I have to go, for you and the Ye family."

Little Aqiao gritted her teeth. It was precisely because she had been feeling the heavy burden on him these days and the many imminent things that she took the initiative to refuse to marry Ye Luo on December 5.

The wedding banquet of the century was not only an explanation from Ye Luo to Bai Xiuzhu, but also a political wedding banquet to determine her network of contacts and status. If she had to let herself go on stage to be an equal wife at that time, it would only be to Ye Luo. Cause countless troubles.

Little Ah Qiao really wants a status.

But as long as he has it in his heart and everyone in the Ye family admits it, she is enough.

"The second young master is so righteous!" Wu Shikui was a soldier who climbed up from the bottom. After falling into the army and becoming a bandit, he always wanted to return to the army and make contributions.

After all, in this day and age, who would really want to be a bandit that everyone shouts about?

He was passionate and idealistic, but from Ye Luo's point of view, he would never see such a thankless thing.

2,000 boxes of cigarettes were destroyed, it was impossible to do it perfectly.

It was only a matter of time before the news leaked out.

Maybe the second young master had a countermeasure, but he didn't have to do this.

"I hope that this news can be sealed for at least half a year. Can this be done?" Xiao Aqiao asked in a low voice, "Of course it is impossible to keep it airtight. The mouths of those who participated in the robbery must be sealed first, as well as these gangs. Even though the people who transport the cigarettes and handle the cigarettes are all key members who have been selected many times within the Ye family, leaks will still leak out. I just hope that no one will be caught and prove it within half a year."

"I'll try my best, madam." Wu Shikui lowered his head and said.

"I don't want to try my best, I want to be certain."

Little Aqiao took out another cigarette. Hengsan immediately went up to light it, but she shook her head, just inserted the lady's cigarette into the soil, then looked at the smoke below, and said calmly: "Only half a year."

"yes!"

The key members of the Ye family all bowed their heads and agreed. They were obviously a group of big men, but they felt suppressed by the coercion of the frail woman in front of them.

Shanghai Beach, Xue Mansion.

"Master Huo, Master Huo, please let me go. I am only a son!"

Xue Baolun was so worried that he was sweating profusely. He called for people to block the road to Xue's mansion and pulled a bunch of concubines to beg for mercy.

The veins on Huo Tianhong's forehead protruded. He pulled the rope that tied Xue Heng, pointed at him, and then at Lu Lanchun, who had disheveled hair and was covered only with a blanket, and shouted sternly: "Let him go? Xue Baolun , now it’s not me who bullies others and wants to mess with your son, but now he is blatantly cuckolding me, Huo Tianhong. If I let him walk out of Xue Mansion intact today, where will I, Huo Tianhong, put my face in the future? "

"You know what happened today, I know it, God knows it and the earth knows it. Mr. Huo, don't worry, the news will never be leaked." Xue Baolun dismissed the servants in the family early in the morning.

But how could it be possible that Huo Tianhong could keep it a secret when he arrived at Xue Mansion in such a furious manner.

Huo Tianhong was nearly sixty years old, and his functions as a man were far worse than before. He spent a lot of money to win over Lu Lanchun, and he was even beaten up and lost millions of dollars because of her quarrel with Lu Xiaojia. Lu Lanchun coaxed her into bed and became the outside room.

A series of sunk costs have long made it difficult for him to let go of Lu Lanchun.

He knew that Lu Lanchun was a promiscuous woman, so he kept strict control over her. He would not let her go on stage to sing anymore, so he would just quietly be his canary in the cage.

It's a pity that we still couldn't guard against the weasels outside.

The more he fears something, the more it will come.

"Gun, gun, bring me the gun!" Huo Tianhong roared at his subordinates.

This is the time to kill people face to face.

Now the gangsters from the Green Gang didn't dare to move.

"Where's the gun?!" Huo Tianhong stretched out his boot, stepped on Xue Heng's face, and roared, "I'm going to take a look today. I have to kill this little red guy. Who dares to stop me? On the beach, I Let’s see who has the ability to save your son, who is worse than a beast!”

"I dare!"

A voice that Huo Tianhong didn't want to hear came from outside the closed door.

"Quick, quick, open the door, open the door." Xue Baolun, as if meeting a savior, pushed several concubines to open the door, and welcomed in the imposing Ye Luo outside.

Ye Luo and a group of staff from Ye's Security and Ye's Sports strode into the Xue Mansion.

Ye Luo was drinking tea at Ye Mansion when he received a call from Xue Baolun.

A New Year's Eve dance brought Yip's Dance Industry and Yip's Film Company to the forefront again. There was an endless stream of Chinese businessmen who came to discuss cooperation, and they were slowly filling in the recent big holes.

I heard that it was Huo Tianhong who caught Xue Heng and Lu Lanchun, and the memory slowly came to mind.

Ye Luo quickly came to the rescue.

He remembered that Lu Lanchun successfully eloped with Xue Heng in the end, and the lovers finally got married.

Why can they escape Huo Tianhong's clutches?

There is no historical record, but many unofficial historians say that Lu Lanchun secretly stole the black ledger collected by Huo Tianhong.

It contains records of the ill-gotten gains he made from all his bad deeds over the years. The involvement is so huge that it is unimaginable.

Regardless of whether it was for this reason or not, since there was a good opportunity for Huo Tianhong to stand up forever, Ye Luo had to seize it.

He and Huo Tianhong are different now.

One is a rising business star, and the other is an old-school tycoon who is declining.

Especially among the military and political circles in Shanghai, few would choose to support Huo Tianhong and target Ye Luo.

"Boss Ye, this matter seems to have nothing to do with you, right?"

Huo Tianhong gritted his teeth, but his voice was already a little lower.

Ye Luo smiled and took a few steps forward: "How could it be okay? Xue Heng is my junior, I can't just ignore him."

"Ye Luo, you are unreasonable in this matter." Huo Tianhong felt extremely uncomfortable, but after thinking about it, he still only came out with this sentence.

I hope Ye Luo will retreat when faced with difficulties.

When things get serious, he, Huo Tianhong, is always the one who has the right.

"Zhanli?"

Ye Luo suddenly stopped smiling and looked directly at him.

"Boss Huo, when you Yongxing gains power, will you reason with me, Ye Luo?"

"Be reasonable? The winner is the king and the loser is the enemy. Boss Huo, you are an old man too. Whoever has the bigger fist is the one who is right!"

"Today, I, Ye Luo, am the reason!"
