Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

It won’t be long before the whole of Shanghai belongs to him.

After hearing Ye Yunfei's accurate reply, Feng Jingyao nodded.

He might know a little about Ye Yunfei's thoughts, but not much.

Moreover, he doesn't want to care about the future now.

All he wanted was for Shanghai to remain peaceful during the time he was running for the Chinese director election.

As long as he successfully ran for the position of President Hua, he wouldn't care what happened between Ye Yunfei and the three tycoons in the future.

Even if both sides were defeated and all the people were killed, it would not matter to him.

And now, he is running for the Chinese president. If there is a major turmoil in Shanghai at this time, it will definitely not be good news for him.

This is Feng Jingyao’s true thought.

After chatting for a while, Feng Jingyao said, "I have finished talking about my business. Now it's time to talk about your business. I heard from Ah Xiang that you came to see me specifically. What's the matter?"

Ye Yunfei took two sips of tea, lit a cigarette, and then said, "To be honest, I came to Mr. Feng this time to borrow money."

"Borrow money."

Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Feng Jingyao was surprised and said, "Did I hear it right, Yunfei? You actually asked me to borrow money. Are you kidding me?"

Ye Yunfei said: "Why are you kidding, I just came here to borrow money."

Feng Jingyao said, "How could you possibly ask me to borrow money? Your Longmen now controls a large amount of land and venues in Shanghai. You own casinos, brothels, dance halls and other very profitable places."

"You still need to borrow money from me now."

Feng Jingyao knew Ye Yunfei's current power, so he was surprised that he came to borrow money.

Ye Yunfei said: "Mr. Feng, I tell you the truth, I do have a lot of places and a lot of territory now, but it is precisely because of this that my money is far from enough."

"The total number of disciples in Longmen now exceeds 12,000. We need a lot of expenses every day. It is not enough to rely solely on the money collected from those places."

"That's why I came to Mr. Feng to borrow some money so that I can make ends meet. I'll pay you back when I have money."

Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Feng Jingyao frowned.

What Ye Yunfei said does make sense.

He himself is the boss of a large gang and knows how expensive it is to feed tens of thousands of people.

Longmen may seem powerful now, but it could easily collapse without financial support.

Thinking of this, Feng Jingyao said, "Then how much money do you want to borrow?"

Ye Yunfei said: "One million dollars, I wonder if Mr. Feng can afford it."

"One million, this is not a small amount."

When he heard the number one million, Feng Jingyao frowned even more.

Ye Yunfei said: "One million may be an astronomical figure for other people in Shanghai, but I know that it is nothing to Mr. Feng's Feng Chamber of Commerce."

"Mr. Feng, I think you should be able to come up with the money."

Feng Jingyao smiled bitterly and said, "Yun Fei, you think too highly of me. You have to know that it is one million dollars. No matter who holds it, it is an astronomical figure."

"I'll tell you the truth. My Feng Chamber of Commerce does have some assets, but one million is not a small amount of money for me."

Ye Yunfei stared at Feng Jingyao and said, "Mr. Feng, are you going to lend it to me or not? Give me a definite answer."

Feng Jingyao thought about it, and finally said: "How about this, Yunfei, I can lend you one million, but you have to pay me some interest."

"Otherwise, if I take out one million in vain, my Feng's Chamber of Commerce will have a huge hole. As the president of Feng's Chamber of Commerce, I have to keep Feng's Chamber of Commerce running normally."

"Besides, I have many brothers under me, and I have to consider them as well."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "The interest is fine, let's just give it 10%. When the time comes, I will pay you back 1.1 million."

Feng Jingyao frowned and said, "Isn't 10% a little too little? The basic interest rate for borrowing money in Shanghai is 20% now, and some even go up to 30% or 50%."

Ye Yunfei glanced at Feng Jingyao and said, "Mr. Feng, I am borrowing money, not usury. What's the difference between you giving me 30% to 50% interest and directly robbing me?"

"It's just 10% interest. If you can lend it to me, lend it to me. If you can't lend it to me, then I will find other ways."

Hearing Ye Yunfei's somewhat dissatisfied tone, Feng Jingyao smiled and said, "Okay, considering the relationship between our two families, it'll be 10%."

"I'll have someone transfer the money to you later."

Ye Yunfei said: "Thank you."

Feng Jingyao added: "However, this one million dollars should not only be used for the daily expenses of your Longmen. Even if Longmen has more people, it cannot use so much money. Do you have any other use for it?"

Feng Jingyao looked at Ye Yunfei curiously.

If it's just Longmen's daily expenses, I think two or three hundred thousand dollars would be enough.

After all, Longmen itself is also making money.

But Ye Yunfei borrowed one million yuan at once, and he felt that it should have other uses.

Ye Yunfei said: "Since the money was lent to me, I will of course use it myself, but Mr. Feng does not need to worry about how I use it."

"When the time comes to pay back the money, I will prepare a big gift for Risk as a token of my appreciation."

Feng Jingyao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. I don't care about your business anymore. Just do whatever you want."

"But you should spend more time with Chenchen when you have time. That silly girl asks me about you several times a day. It seems that she is more attached to you than to me now. You must not make her sad."

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Feng. I will spend time with Chenchen after I finish this."

"If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."

After saying that, Ye Yunfei stood up and left.

After Ye Yunfei left, Feng Jingyao called Ah Xiang and said, "Ah Xiang, go check and see what Ye Yunfei has been doing recently."

"His one million is definitely not just for Longmen's daily expenses. I suspect he is planning something big."

"This kid didn't tell me, there must be something fishy going on."

Ah Xiang said, "No problem, Mr. Feng, I'll check it out right away."

After saying that, A Xiang also left.

Feng Jingyao stared out the window and said, "Boy, I want to see what the hell you are doing."

"You spent a million, so you have to let me know what you're doing."

……

After getting the money, Ye Yunfei went straight back to Lido.

After I went back, Ding Li also came back.

Ding Li said that he has found an ideal location to build a power plant, and now he just needs to get the funds in place before he can start construction.

Without saying a word, Ye Yunfei directly allocated 500,000 oceans to Ding Li to build a power plant.
