Chapter 639 Selling Faster Than Anyone Else
Regardless of those doubts and puzzled eyes, Ye Luo reached a consensus with the Military and Political Department at the fastest speed.
All the technicians, staff and the latest equipment in the industrial parks he left in Zhabei were directly evacuated, escorted by Ye's Security and Ye's Sports, and temporarily moved to the headquarters of the Tax Police Corps in the suburbs of Jiacheng.
The remaining old equipment, factory buildings and land were sold to Wang's faction.
Even if Ye Luo was unwilling to leave the technicians and the latest equipment here, Wang still felt that he had made a lot of money, smiling and celebrating.
Ye Luo was recognized as one of the businessmen of the pro-principal faction. Looting a large number of industrial parks from him was equivalent to giving the principal a direct blow.
In Wang's eyes, the stir caused by this matter was even higher than the value of these industrial parks.
He finally made the arrogant principal suffer from the front.
He finally proved that he was a big man who could sit on an equal footing with the principal within the Kuomintang.
Others, such as Sun Ke, have not been able to do this.
After several rounds of negotiation, the Ministry of Military Affairs offered a price of 27.62 million yuan, which was considered to be a good profit for Ye Luo's "sensible" behavior.
Ye Luo readily agreed.
After the most important technicians and new equipment were evacuated, the remaining pile of scrap metal was actually not worth much.
As long as he was given a few pieces of land of the same size, he could reshape several such industrial parks in a few minutes.
Ye Luo's lowest price in mind was 12 million yuan, but Mr. Wang was very generous and more than doubled it.
It has to be said that these politicians really make money. They didn't even blink when they wrote a check of nearly 30 million yuan.
On January 15, the newly appointed Minister of Military Affairs came to Shanghai with a smile to sign a contract with Ye Luo, and also brought Chairman Wang's sincere greetings.
Mr. Wang also tried to win over Ye Luo.
Before that, he had persuaded the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium headed by Yu Qiaqing to become his money bag.
If Ye Luo can be taken down now, it will be equivalent to cutting off half of the principal's source of income.
Ye Luo dared not get involved with such a big traitor, so he smiled and declined, and in his heart, he mourned for Yu Qiaqing and others for a few minutes.
No wonder the principal returned to work later, fighting the war of resistance while preparing for the "state advances and private retreats" movement.
He hated these two-faced businessmen.
After being rejected, Mr. Wang was not discouraged, anyway, there were plenty of opportunities.
The principal has stepped down, isn't it a matter of time to deal with you rotten fish and stinky shrimps?
He thought so in his heart, and issued several new decrees overnight.
One of them was to dismiss Zhang Qun and transfer him to Hubei Province to serve as the top leader of the military and political circles.
This is a clear transfer and a hidden demotion. Hubei Province is now underdeveloped, banditry is rampant, warlords are everywhere, and it has suffered wars many times. It is not a good place to do business.
No matter from which point of view, it is better to stay in Shanghai.
Moreover, going there was equivalent to indirectly leaving the "capital circle" headed by Jinling, which was equivalent to being transferred away from the power center.
Zhang Qun was also helpless, because he was a diehard of the principal's faction.
Wang was very generous by not forcing him to leave with the principal.
Bai Xiongqi, who was ambitious and had his mind full of promotion, also suffered.
He was also removed from his post and transferred to the Minister of Military and Political Affairs of Jiacheng, and his official position was cut in half.
In other words, seeing that he had Ye Luo, his brother-in-law, Wang could not suppress Bai Xiongqi too harshly while retaining a slight possibility of recruiting Ye Luo, so he did not kill him.
Jiacheng was the station of the Tax Police Corps, which was roughly equivalent to Ye Luo's territory. It was better to send him there than to Hubei Province like Zhang Qun did.
After a series of personnel transfer orders were issued, the members of the principal's faction in Jinling were scattered.
Wang was not stupid. He knew that military figures could not be moved at will at this time, so he let Dai Ji go.
It was this decision that prevented the January 28 Incident from reaching its most extreme and bad end.
Ma Yongzhen, who also had a close relationship with Ye Luo, continued to serve as the head of the Songhu Police Department. After all, compared with Bai Xiongqi and others, he was just a younger brother.
Moreover, in the past few years, Ma Yongzhen had built the Songhu Police Department into his own home. Even if he was dismissed, the new chief would not be able to deal with these subordinates.
Even so, the voices of Ye Investment and the Ye family being bad-mouthed gradually rose.
As the Ye family went down, rivals such as Sassoon & Co. naturally climbed up.
The last time Edward went to the north to "show his strength", he almost didn't come back. Since then, he no longer dared to believe his sister Rosemary's words, and directly booked a boat ticket, preparing to leave Shanghai at the end of the month.
Rosemary was helpless. Although Edward had no ability to compete with her for the position of heir, it was good to keep him as a gun.
Unexpectedly, this young man was scared after a few times, which made her very unhappy.
Fortunately, although she suffered a setback in the north, she still achieved her goal.
Just as she guessed, Ye Luo always seemed to do things that ordinary people couldn't understand, but if you look deeper, there must be a reason.
When Ye's investment withdrew from the north, basically no one could resist the temptation. Rosemary also wanted to fight for the territory several times, but she still suppressed her restless heart.
Before coming to China from overseas, she repeatedly studied Ye Luo's life experience.
Since he emerged at the age of twelve with Jing Ruishan, his life has been like a cheat, with both civil and military skills and proficiency in everything.
After six years of studying abroad, Rosemary also transferred some of Ye Luo's information at Cambridge and Harvard through family connections. After reading it, she, who also graduated from Harvard, was simply full of admiration for this senior.
No wonder this silly brother can't beat Ye Luo.
Just the fact that he returned to Shanghai in 1928 and started running Ye's Automobile in just one year is something Edward can't learn in his lifetime.
The more she knew about Ye Luo, the more surprised Rosemary was.
Therefore, when Ye's investment left the north, her first reaction was not to follow others to seize territory and industry, but to wait and see.
She only fooled Edward to try.
Sure enough, everyone who went to the north lost all their money.
Some people who were unlucky even lost their lives.
From the surface factors, it was because of the sudden outbreak of the Fengtian Incident, which led to the war in the north, and merchants naturally became prey.
But if he only relied on this kind of luck to do business, could Ye Luo make Ye's investment a scale of tens of billions of oceans?
She didn't believe it.
There must be a deeper reason.
The more Rosemary thought about it, the more excited she became. She sat on the boss's table, swinging her two short legs leisurely and humming a song.
Anyway, she made an appointment with Ye Luo for dinner at the Paramount tonight, and all the mysteries might be solved at this dinner.
She also admired Ye Luo's boldness and magnanimity.
Sassoon and Ye's Investment were almost mortal enemies. He dared to come to the dinner with the daughter of his mortal enemy!
