Chapter 603: Loud Thunder, Little Rain?

After Ye Luo came to Qing City, Huang Yunhui immediately became alert. On the one hand, he ordered his men not to continue to cause trouble in the near future, and on the other hand, he went to the General Administration of Customs every few days to ask Thomson to think of a way to see if he could drive the second young master back to Shanghai without using force.

Or simply let him give up.

Thomson didn't have any good ideas. The only strategy he could think of was to block Ye Luo at the customs import and export, collect higher import and export taxes, and inspect his goods multiple times.

This kind of conspiracy can only disgust people, and it is difficult to really make Ye Luo retreat.

Huang Yunhui knew that Ye Luo was most likely a cross-river dragon invited by Pan Wenhua to deal with him, which also indirectly reflected that Liu Hangchen really had no means to continue to deal with the Huang family.

This made Huang Yunhui feel much more at ease.

His biggest reliance now is on foreigners such as Thomson. These people have extremely high privileges in Qing City. At the same time, because they control the customs tax revenue of Qing City, they are particularly valued by the ambassadors of their countries. Their status is much higher than that of the bosses of ordinary foreign companies. Even Liu Xiang dare not easily provoke them;

The first is the mountain goods gang headed by Luo Shengzhi's old subordinates. These desperate criminals have already carried countless lives. They used to be engaged in arms trading. When they fight, they are more fierce than the police in the police department. No one dares to stop them.

The first is the huge assets and influence of the Huang family in Qing City. Starting from his father Huang Dexuan, the Huang family has taken root in Qing City and run various businesses. It has been deeply rooted for decades, and the business community is full of people from their Huang family.

Wang Yunsong, the so-called president of the Qing City Chamber of Commerce, is just a younger brother in front of him.

As long as these three mountains do not fall, even if Ye Luo has the ability to go all the way, it is difficult for him to make any splashes in the Qing City business community where he covers the sky with one hand.

Just in case, Huang Yunhui has recently asked the Shanhuo Gang to keep a close eye on Ye's investment, and to notify him immediately if there is any unusual movement.

On the other hand.

Since the day he had dinner with Lu Zuofu and others, Ye Luo asked Xiao Aqiao to start running around in the business community of Qing City, winning over Chinese businessmen who are dissatisfied with the Huang family and warning those fence-sitters who are on the side of the wind.

With the arrival of Ye Luo, the employees of Ye's investment in Qing City also became confident. Various factories were built like mushrooms after rain. The first to be completed was the branch of Ye's Construction Company in Qing City.

Now Ye's Construction is divided into two groups of people. One group is the Zhang family faction headed by Zhang Mouzhi and others. They are the earliest engineering team to cooperate with Ye Luo. They have participated in the construction of many enterprises related to Ye's investment in Shanghai, and have also participated in the two phases of Mr. Sun's cemetery!

The other group is headed by the old people of the original Jingruishan Construction Company, known as the Lin family faction, controlled by Lin Ruxian, and is responsible for many industrial parks and residential development projects.

Zhang Mouzhi, Zhang Yuanbei and others are now busy demolishing buildings in the north, so the construction of Qing City fell on the Lin family.

The construction industry has been controlled by Huang Yunhui before. Whether it is a company building, municipal engineering or livelihood project, as long as Huang Yunhui's engineering team bids, other construction companies will withdraw tactfully.

But Huang Yunhui's engineering team cut corners very seriously, and the quality of the houses built is worrying. Several villas built last year have problems such as wall peeling this year.

Ye's Construction directly bypassed the Huang family and joined forces with the City Hall to instantly take all the municipal projects into its arms.

This made Huang Yunhui very unhappy, but it didn't reach the point of going to war.

Because it seemed that the situation was good, but Ye Luo did not take any livelihood projects or company construction projects.

He seemed to be only interested in municipal and his own buildings, but these volumes together accounted for less than one-tenth of the construction industry in Qing City.

The executives of Ye's Construction also couldn't understand the behavior of the second young master.

Obviously, you can eat more, why did you suddenly stop?

Moreover, municipal projects have low profits. Apart from being able to win the favor of senior officials in the city hall, Liu Xiang and the Jinling National Government, they cannot bring much monetary benefits.

Everyone knows that the second young master has no shortage of political resources.

As soon as he came to Qing City, the principal quickly sent a telegram to Liu Xiang, giving the second young master the most sufficient support and affirmation.

This alone is much more useful than pleasing the officials of Qing City Hall!

Of course, they find it difficult to understand Ye Luo's behavior.

Because no one knows that in six years, the principal will make an important decision to move the capital.

If the construction scale is concentrated on companies, people's livelihood and other projects at this time, by then, all will become the principal's things, and at that time, the Japanese bombing will continue, and no matter how many buildings there are, they will only be cannon fodder.

Compared with the losses that will be faced at that time, the little money earned now is nothing at all.

Municipal projects are not very important.

Road and bridge construction, municipal buildings, etc. are all rigid needs, and even if they are finished, the headache is still the principal. Ye Luo's losses are not large, and he can also win various political favors.

And after these municipal projects were contracted by Ye's Construction, when the bombing of Qing City was in a mess and needed to be rebuilt, Ye Luo could take care of everything and take money out of the principal's pocket.

At this time, no one could have predicted the relocation of the capital, let alone the Japanese invasion war.

They couldn't even think of the upcoming fight between the two Lius for the river.

Ye Luo was too lazy to explain too much to them, and at this time, the internal resolution square of Ye's Investment set in the early years came in handy.

For any resolution involving the highest level, Ye Luo has one vote to approve and one vote to veto!

To put it bluntly, it is a real dictatorship in business.

A hundred years later, his behavior would inevitably be criticized by the board of directors and shareholders, and even "admonished" by the government.

But in this era, no one dares to treat him like this, and no one dares to really disobey the second young master.

Ye Luo has proved himself again and again with facts and money.

If you really don't agree with this centralized behavior, Ye Luo also encourages employees to leave.

However, employees who leave for this reason will never be able to return to Ye Investment.

In short, in the eyes of the outside world, Ye Luo entered Qing City with great fanfare, and made a bold statement to attack the four major industries of finance, construction and real estate, entertainment and education first.

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, the construction industry that Ye Luo first targeted had a big one, which was really disappointing to the extreme.

Now even Lu Zuofu and others can't sit still.

Every few days, they ran to the villa where Ye Luo lived, and they were hinting and testing the waters, fearing that the second young master would just come to play for a while, and then pat his butt and leave.

At the end, Ye Luo was too lazy to reply one by one, so he simply asked Xiao Aqiao to bring "intern" Kong Lingjun to perfunctory them.

Ye Luo did this, and Lu Zuofu and others had no choice but to sacrifice their lives to accompany the gentleman and follow him all the way.

In this way, Ye Luo lived in Qing City for more than half a month without realizing it.

Huang Yunhui, who was very nervous at first, has now become leisurely and has completely ignored the second young master who came to mess around.

The business situation in Qing City does not seem to have changed because of Ye Luo's arrival.

Pan Wenhua has the most headaches, but every time he goes to Ye Luo, he can only chat with two beauties, one big and one small, which makes him quite depressed.

In this way, another week passed, and Ye Luo began to slowly start the education industry, and also called Zhao Pilian from Tianjin City to spend a huge amount of money to build schools and libraries in Qing City.

This is indeed a good thing for Pan Wenhua.

It is great that someone can take over the work of the City Hall and is willing to invest money.

But it is of no help to the business community.

What kind of money can be made from education?

You can't make money by collecting tuition fees!

Finally, Pan Wenhua couldn't help it and went straight to Liu Xiang for help.

On May 18, 1931.

Liu Xiang, the commander of the Sichuan Army, rushed to Qing City with an elite force from the front, and came to see the second young master who had come to Qing City to make all kinds of troubles but seemed to have no effect.

Ye Luo calculated the time accurately. Before Liu Xiang's troops arrived in Qing City, he sent a telegram in advance to invite Commander Liu to dinner. (End of this chapter)
