1928: The Rise of Giant Merchants

Chapter 629: Donating Money to Save the Country

Feng Yong and others followed Ye Luo to the living room of Ye Mansion and sat down.

Looking at the group of people in front of him, Ye Luo was filled with emotion.

According to the principal's meaning, it would be best if Ye Luo could secretly bring down the entire Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association and catch all these rebels.

But apart from some extreme behaviors, these people are all real patriotic celebrities.

Feng Yong doesn't need to say much. Although Wang Huayi is not a member of the underground organization, he has participated in the operation of rescuing members of the underground organization. Yan Baohang secretly joined the underground organization after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War and became an outstanding international strategic intelligence expert.

Lu Guangji is engaged in education and business. He and the most handsome man in the Republic of China are classmates and friends. The phrase "Study for the rise of China" was said by the big guy when they were studying together.

Everyone explained their purpose, and Ye Luo hurriedly shook his head and said: "Your petition will not succeed. The Kuomintang in the south is busy fighting internally, and the principal is about to step down. They have no intention of dealing with the Japanese invaders."

"Fight, fight, fight, fight, all day long, they are fighting this or that! Can't they do one thing properly?" Feng Yong said angrily.

Yan Baohang said beside him: "Even so, we have to go and petition, at least tell them the current situation in the north. It's their business whether to do it or not, and it's our business whether to say it or not."

"Baohang is right. I know it's hard to convince the principal to send troops this time, but it's always a good conscience to say it." Lu Guangji nodded in agreement.

These people can't be persuaded.

Ye Luo knew this a long time ago, so he didn't say much, just said if he could help them, just ask.

Although the headquarters of the Ye's Charity Foundation has been evacuated from the north, there are still many informants hiding in various places, and it's not difficult to do some small things for them.

After listening, Feng Yong didn't pretend, and asked Ye Luo for money directly.

There was no way, they were really short of money.

He knew the relationship between Ye Luo and Zhang Hanqing, and he also knew that Ye Luo hated the Japanese very much. Therefore, in the eyes of Lu Guangji and others, Feng Yong's behavior was a bit too reckless, but he didn't think so.

Ye Luo immediately smiled and said, "I can't accompany the soldiers to fight the enemy, but I can still do my best. As for the money, I personally invested 500,000 yuan, and Ye invested 1 million yuan, a total of 1.5 million yuan, which is considered as a subsidy for the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association."

"How generous! You are worthy of being the first businessman in the Republic of China! 1.5 million yuan, Liuzi is right, there is no problem asking you for money!"

Feng Yong gave a thumbs up and sincerely thanked Ye Luo for his support.

Before his family fell into decline, Feng Delin's total assets were only tens of millions of yuan, which was one of the most important warlords in the north.

And Ye Luo now casually starts with a million yuan, which shows his strong financial resources.

"Brother Feng, you are too kind." Ye Luo took out the checkbook, wrote down the numbers, and handed it to him. "This check can be used in many banks, but I don't recommend you to withdraw it all at once, and try to avoid banks owned by the Kuomintang. It's better to go to foreign banks like Citibank and HSBC."

"I understand." Feng Yong solemnly accepted the check, clasped his hands together, and thanked him again.

Lu Guangji on the side couldn't help but say: "Second Young Master, you are generous and generous, and you are also a well-known patriotic industrialist. Why don't you just join our National Salvation Association? If you can join it and serve as honorary president, I believe the effect will far exceed the 1.5 million oceans!"

"Yes, Second Young Master, think about it." Seeing that he started, Yan Baohang simply said what everyone was thinking, "We are like headless flies now. Principal Feng has led us to run into walls everywhere, and we are in need of someone with great influence in the south to help organize the work."

"Alas, it's not that I don't want to, but the situation is not good." Ye Luo didn't hide it and directly said the principal's intention.

He accepted the task of killing the National Salvation Association. If he continued to get involved, he would be courting death.

The principal has not stepped down yet.

Even if he steps down, he will be reinstated in a month. It will be difficult to fight him when he is asked to settle accounts.

"If that is the case, we cannot accept the money!" Feng Yong said quickly, and took out the check again, "If you tell me first, I will never even step into this door."

"Brother Feng, you don't have to do this." Ye Luo waved his hand, "Regarding these matters, I originally wanted to go north to find you. Your coming here this time just saves me from making a trip."

"You accept the money, and things cannot be stopped. But, I hope to change the way." Ye Luo suggested, "First, the Anti-Japanese National Salvation Association must be formally dissolved."

"This" Lu Guangji was stunned, but did not continue to speak, but waited patiently for Ye Luo to finish.

Ye Luo continued: "As long as your organization is not dissolved, the principal will not be at peace. Not to mention petitioning, you will not even have a normal life!"

"That's true. We are all ready to go to Nanjing to die." Feng Yong nodded while holding the check.

The principal even dared to put Hu Hanmin under house arrest before. If it weren't for the pressure of public opinion, he would have been shot long ago.

What are they?

"But if we disband it." Yan Baohang frowned, "How will we carry out the work afterwards?"

"Leave it to us. After you go to Jinling and the petition is over, you can pretend to retreat and disband the organization on the spot. At least don't make such a big fuss on the surface."

Ye Luo smiled,

"Then, we can gather people underground to carry out propaganda and explanation. My Yeh Press has branches in the north and south, and has strong support from the KMT Propaganda Department. I can help you with some propaganda and print some propaganda materials for distribution; after you disband, I can still secretly purchase materials and provide financial assistance, which will not affect your work."

"I see, isn't this the way the underground organization does it?" Feng Yong suddenly realized that although he was patriotic, he was still inclined to the KMT faction because of his own position.

And his father was a warlord, and he couldn't wash off this skin.

Therefore, Feng Yong had almost no contact with the underground organization, and he didn't approve of using that method to confront the principal.

But this is a different time, and in the eyes of the current principal, what is the difference between them and those people?

Yan Baohang, who had already had contact with members of the underground organization, looked at Ye Luo, his eyes rolling, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Our goal is to resist Japan and drive out the Japanese invaders. As for the methods and practices, they can all be discussed."

Ye Luo explained what he meant, and it would also make it easier for him to continue to work in Shanghai.

After all, there are still 6 years to 1937.

"Okay, I understand!" Feng Yong is not a pedantic person. He stood up and clasped his fists. "Then let's go to Jinling to petition first. If it works, it's the best. If not, we will do it according to what you said, A Luo. At least you help us so much, and we can't make it so difficult for you!"

"Thank you, Brother Feng." Ye Luo also stood up to return the greeting.

After Feng Yong and others left, Dai Li and the secret agents hiding in the dark silently took pictures of these scenes, maybe they can be used in the future.

The group of secret agents were very anxious. The Secret Service Department had lost to Ye Luo several times and was about to lose the shadow. Seeing that this group of rebels came to Ye Luo and seemed to have gained benefits, they wanted to rush out and catch them on the spot, but were stopped by Dai Li.

The most important lesson Dai Li learned from Ye Luo was to let the bullets fly for a while.

This guy is too weird.

He can always turn defeat into victory and surprise others.

He thought he was not Ye Luo's opponent in this regard, so he changed his way.

As long as I don't start the fight first, I will at least be invincible forever!

"Director, Zhang Xueming is here too!" a spy roared excitedly.

Zhang Xueming has been sent by the Nanjing National Government to "investigate abroad".

"Wait a little longer." Dai Li's eyes were erratic. (End of this chapter)
