1928: The rise of giant merchants

Ye Luo needs to carry out a series of reforms in the textile industry to adapt to the tariff autonomy agreement early next year. Otherwise, based on the current situation of Shanghai's textile industry, even if tariffs are relaxed, the textiles they can produce will be difficult to export abroad. At best, Without competition from other domestic companies, they can seize each other's domestic market share.

But this is not what Ye Luo wants.

The domestic market is certainly huge, but even if you swallow up the markets in both the north and the south, it will still be a drop in the bucket compared to the export share.

The reason is that the income-generating and consumption abilities of the general public in the Republic of China are too poor to support a truly huge market.

If you want to compete with foreign textiles, you must improve quality and quantity.

Today, Japan is suffering from the largest deflation crisis in history. Excluding the companies under the consortium, half of the companies are facing the risk of bankruptcy. Unemployment is rolling in. Even in big cities like Yokohama and Nagoya, ordinary people who cannot afford to eat can be seen everywhere.

Japan's textile industry was hit the hardest, and this became a breakthrough for Ye Luo to invade their business.

Just grabbing shares of some consortium companies like last time is not enough. If Ye Luo wants to create a brand new consortium in Japan's weak society after World War II, he must acquire a large number of their companies, spread across various industries, and then Compete with Mitsubishi and Sumitomo in the same industry.

World War II was a disaster for many countries, but for businessmen, it was an excellent opportunity to insert their own business empires after a political reshuffle.

The game Ye Luo played was a big one, so he had no intention of letting the garbage present on board from the beginning.

He knew that most of the businessmen in the Republic of China could not accept his new-era business philosophy and reform direction, so he simply abandoned them all and acquired the company and incubated the management within Ye's Investment.

"Are you kidding? We have at least hundreds of textile factories here. Regardless of whether we are willing or not, even if we calculate the purchase price of 1 million yuan per factory, it will cost 100 million yuan to start." Rongxiang was the first to be unable to sit still. Living.

If Ye Luo wanted to reshuffle the cards or play the game of big fish eating small fish, they would be happy to compete with Zhou Xuan in terms of capital strength. Rong Xiang and the others believed that together they could resist Ye's investment.

Besides, among the crowd there is also Sassoon, who is now truly the richest man in Shanghai.

But now Ye Luo actually wants to flip the table!

This doesn't give you any way to survive.

"If Boss Rong is willing to sell it, the price can be whatever you want." Ye Luo looked at him with a smile, "All of these can be negotiated."

"I'm afraid that the second young master won't be able to eat my Rong family." Rong Xiang gritted his teeth.

Initially, they planned to let Sheng Enyi, the stupid young man, step on the thunder and compete with Ye Luo, and they would reap the benefits.

But Ye Luo's words made Rong Xiang unable to sit still, and instead he became the first one to fire.

After Rong Xiang finished speaking, Sheng Enyi and others also expressed their agreement.

"Yeah, I'm just afraid that the second young master won't be able to eat us."

"Faced with this great situation, we businessmen should work together. The act of living alone is really disgusting."

"I will not sell my Luo's Textile Factory no matter what price the second young master offers. This is our ancestral business."

Ye Luo had heard similar words once when he was in Tianjin City, and he didn't care about the reactions of these people at all.

"That's all for now. I want to carry out a revolution in the textile industry. Whether you accept it or not, the revolution will be carried out as scheduled. If you lose your business due to the revolution later, and the bosses want to sell to me, then It’s just another price.”

Ye Luo asked Sheng Aiyi to distribute the drafted contract to them.

"Miss Sheng Qi and Manager Mu will be our representatives of Ye's Textile in the future. These contracts can be kept in your hands. You can fill in the numbers and hand them over to them at any time to reach cooperation."

"Arrogant!"

"Bullying others with strength!"

"Whimsical!"

The two groups surrounding Tiaojiao Sassoon and Sheng Enyi were shouting curses. Even though the other party was recognized as the number one tycoon in Shanghai, when it came to their jobs and interests, these people suddenly lost their usual gentleness and were nothing like the shrews who like to curse. the difference.

Sheng Aiyi came to Sheng Enyi expressionlessly and pushed the contract belonging to the Sheng family to him. Before she could leave, Sheng Enyi grabbed her hand.

"Xiao Qi, are you really crazy? Are you going to help an outsider to seize our Sheng family's property?" Sheng Enyi, who is also one of the four eldest sons in Shanghai, has never felt that he is inferior to Ye Luo and Lu Xiaojia. There is a fire burning in his heart. , wanting to lead the Sheng family to rise again, to rival his father's era.

Now when he looked at Sheng Aiyi, he felt as if he had been stabbed in the back by a close relative. He was indescribably uncomfortable and disgusted.

Sheng Aiyi just glanced at him lightly: "Fourth brother, that is your family property now, not our Sheng family's."

"You are just a woman, Xiao Qi. I have given you and Xiao Ba enough money for their retirement, isn't that enough?" Sheng Enyi gritted his teeth and said, "You are just a woman, Xiao Qi."

"Yes, I am just a woman, but I also have my ideals and pursuits. If you think that just sending me and Xiaoba tens of thousands of dollars is enough money to provide for our retirement, then I have nothing to say." Sheng Aiyi had previously been punished because of Song Ziwen's betrayal. She felt uncomfortable, and now she was disgusted by her brother's words and deeds, but she had a strong temper and wanted to be strong. The more this happened, the more she wanted to fight.

"What kind of ecstasy did Ye Luo give you, and you are actually willing to fight with me for him!" Sheng Enyi said in a stern voice, "Do you know? My backstage is now Japanese and foreign. No matter how powerful Ye Luo is, he is also He is just a Chinese, a powerless Chinese, do you think the principal and others will turn against the Japanese for him? You don’t know anything, Xiao Qi! Don’t go astray and ruin your life.”

Sheng Enyi's so-called painstaking advice and the way she looked good for herself made Sheng Aiyi feel disgusted from the bottom of her heart. She no longer argued, but glanced at the contract and said calmly: "Then see you at the mall. By the way, there is one thing. You made a mistake, I took the initiative to find the second young master, not him. I asked him to help me get back what belongs to me, not to help outsiders rob our Sheng family's property. "

There is a strong smell of gunpowder here, and Mu Ouchu and Rong Xiang are also competing with each other.

When old friends and old enemies met, Rong Xiang couldn't help but ridicule him, thinking that Mu Ou Chu was willing to be someone else's dog even though he couldn't compete with him. It was really mean.

Mu Ouchu was even more calm. He did not argue with Rong Xiang throughout the whole process, and just looked like he had seen the truth behind his hands.

Ye Luo likes their current situation and atmosphere.

This reform and acquisition of the textile industry is different from the past and is indeed subverting the entire industry.

This is a behavior that is beyond everyone's understanding and will not be recognized by most people. Therefore, Ye Luo no longer uses gentle methods and simply lets people like Sheng Aiyi and Mu Ouchu, who have great conflicts with the old school of the textile industry, People come forward to burn the fire to its peak, and then rise again from the ashes.
