Chapter 605: Drain Liu Xiang!

"Without the support of the foreigners, once the Shanhuo Gang falls, Huang Yunhui's Huang family will be unable to support themselves. Wouldn't they be a soft persimmon that can be easily taken advantage of?"

Ye Luo lit a cigarette and continued to seduce Liu Xiang,

"After Huang Yunhui is finished, our Ye Investment will move into Qing City. I believe Commander Liu has heard of our company's influence in the business community? I can guarantee that under the leadership of Ye Investment, Qing City will be able to rank among the first-tier cities within five years."

"First-tier cities?" Liu Xiang was a little confused.

The second young master is indeed a cultured person. He can always come up with some words that he doesn't know. First-tier cities can't refer to cities stationed in the front line of the war zone, right?

"Cities like Tianjin City, Jinling and Shanghai Beach." Ye Luo couldn't explain it well, so he just made an analogy to him.

Liu Xiang suddenly realized, and then became even more surprised: "In five years, can the second young master guarantee that this mountain city will be as prosperous as those big cities?"

"If Commander Liu can give me more conveniences, it may not take five years." Ye Luo vowed, "But the premise is that there is no Huang Yunhui as a roadblock."

"Hiss"

The temptation of Ye Luo's guarantee is far higher than defeating Huang Yunhui.

If someone else had been so shameless in front of him, Liu Xiang would have left without looking back.

But the person in front of him is the Shanghai Beach, recognized by everyone as the first tycoon of southern business!

At least so far, none of Ye Luo's promises have been unfulfilled.

Liu Xiang also knew that Zhang Hanqing in the north had been trying like crazy to win over Ye Luo, hoping that Ye Luo could move the headquarters of Ye's investment from Shanghai Beach to Fengtian.

He didn't understand business and economics, didn't the principal and Zhang Hanqing understand it?

The only thing that puzzled Liu Xiang was why Ye Luo chose this poor mountain city?

If he felt that the north was not safe, he could still go to the Central Plains or further south. Why bother doing business in a natural military fortress like Qing City that is easy to defend and difficult to attack?

After a moment of silence, Liu Xiang whispered: "If the scale of the mobilization is not large and the firepower of the weapons and equipment is not strong, I can consider talking to Zhong San and others."

After that, he glanced at Pan Wenhua and others who were silent.

Pan Wenhua is the nominal mayor of Qing City, but in fact he only obeys the orders of Liu Xiang.

His so-called consultation with Pan Wenhua was just an excuse.

Ye Luo immediately replied: "The number of people does not exceed one thousand, and Commander Liu does not need to be responsible for the camp, supplies and other logistics. As for weapons and equipment, we use the same as the German-equipped division, and will not bring heavy guys like tanks and assault vehicles."

"That's good." Liu Xiang nodded. There are no big guys like tanks. Even if all of them are equipped with the best weapons and equipment, the establishment of less than one thousand people is at most two and a half battalions of troops, which can't cause much trouble.

But these people are more than enough to deal with the mountain goods gang.

"The second young master's subordinates actually sell arms?" Liu Xiang asked curiously.

These days, the principal strictly prohibits arms trading, and only local warlords and the central government can build arsenals that can produce arms. Not to mention a mere businessman, even big families like Kong, Song, and Chen are not qualified to control an arsenal.

But in fact, the warlords of the Republic of China have a high demand for arms. With their own arsenals, the production efficiency is extremely slow and the supply is completely insufficient.

Most of their arms are purchased from outside. Those with strength and connections buy from foreigners, and those without such resources buy from compradors who do arms business privately.

Luo Shengzhi, the former No. 1 arms dealer in Qing City, did this kind of business.

He had a very good relationship with the British and could import a large amount of British equipment from overseas, so his business was very good.

After taking down Luo Sheng, Liu Xiang also cut off a channel for purchasing arms.

Seeing that a war with Liu Wenhui was inevitable, Liu Xiang prepared to build an arsenal in Qing City.

"I don't have any, but I know some British and American foreigners, and they have rich resources." Ye Luo said vaguely.

In fact, he controls three arsenals, which were sold to him by Huo Tianhong. Because of the acquiescence of the principal and the need for some bases for the Huade military cooperation project, they have been used until now.

Now the scale of the three arsenals has become larger and larger, specializing in producing some equipment for the German-equipped divisions of the Tax Police Corps. Because it is a military cooperation project, naturally no one will come to cause trouble.

If the principal is willing to take a look, he will probably be shocked.

Of course, Ye Luo will not tell Liu Xiang about these things, but only tell him that the arms come from the British garrison commander and the Americans.

Anyway, when the things arrive, no one knows where they are shipped from.

Ye Luo has a mouth on his face, and he can say whatever he wants!

"Brother Ye, do you still have the way of British and American foreigners?!" Liu Xiang even changed his address this time.

"It's a bit like the Germans, but their weapons and equipment are more expensive." Ye Luo said truthfully, "Doesn't Commander Liu know about the military cooperation between the Nanjing National Government and Germany?"

"Ah, so that project is managed by you, Brother Ye." Liu Xiang was isolated from the news and didn't know that Colonel Max was dead. After listening to Ye Luo's words, he suddenly became much more enthusiastic.

As expected, when chatting with these soldiers, you can only control them if you have the right taste.

"I want to buy something from Brother Ye, but I'm short of money." Liu Xiang began to use the rogue tone that all warlords have, "If we can introduce some gun production lines, it would be even better. It doesn't matter if we eliminate them!"

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." Ye Luo pretended to be embarrassed.

Speaking of which, the current Sichuan Army is indeed miserable.

Their weapons and equipment are so outmoded that it's hard to bear to look at them.

The weapons in the hands of many soldiers were almost falling apart. They had to be tied up with hemp ropes to fix them. The rifling was so worn that they were almost invisible, and they were not much different from fire sticks.

If things continue like this, the Sichuan army will not have to fight, and most of the people will be on the run.

"Oh, brother Ye, you must help me." Listening to Ye Luo's tone, Liu Xiang knew there was something going on.

He didn't care about anyone else present, he directly took Ye Luo's hand and began to get close to him. His shameless attitude almost made Kong Lingjun laugh.

No wonder the teacher keeps saying that none of these warlords can be trusted, and their faces change faster than those in Sichuan opera!

Today she finally saw it.

"I am a businessman" Ye Luo continued to be embarrassed.

"It's easy to talk. As long as the firearms production line can be imported, I am willing to pay more than three times the market price to buy it!" Liu Xiang patted his chest and promised, "Brother, I will take care of all the import and export, materials, and logistics. Brother Ye will take care of it." take money."

Liu Xiang, who just now said that his pockets were tight, suddenly became wealthy.

"That's where the mountain goods gang is." Ye Luo looked at Liu Xiang.

Liu Xiang smiled and said: "Isn't it just a thousand people? When the time comes, Zhong San and I will say hello and treat it as an employee of Ye's Investment."

Pan Wenhua and others on the side broke out in cold sweat.

That's a fully armed army of thousands of people!

If Ye Luo really had any ulterior motives, he would probably bring down the city hall in one night.

But Liu Xiang agreed, what else could they say?

"After the Huang family falls, I want to share 70% of it." Ye Luo raised his finger.

Now the lion opened his mouth so much that even Wang Yunsong couldn't sit still.

70% of the Huang family is equal to 70% of the business community in Qing City. Isn't that just sending away Huang Yunzai and bringing in Ye Luo?

"If you want it, you must get it." Liu Xiang made a mental gesture. Seventy percent is nothing, but ten percent is given!

As long as there is a stable firearms production line, you can have as much money as you want?

When he becomes the King of Sichuan and Chongqing, the economy of Qing City will be insignificant at all.

"It can only be given to production lines that have been eliminated for a long time."

"Understand, understand."

"Five times the market price."

"Okay, okay."

Everyone had never seen Commander Liu who was so talkative, and it was also the first time they saw Ye Luo during business negotiations.

The former is as well-behaved as a little daughter-in-law, while the latter is as greedy as a python.

Ye Luo didn't expect Liu Xiangque to be so short of weapons and equipment. He thought it would take a lot of effort to convince him to let his people bring guns to Qing City, but he didn't expect that a long-obsolete firearms production line would be enough.

Anyway, no matter how many arsenals are built, they will all end up in the pocket of the principal after becoming the capital.

Ye Luo ignored these and just squeezed money from these warlords. (End of chapter)
