Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

After giving instructions to Ding Li, Ye Yunfei returned to Lido.

After returning to Lido, he called Chang Gui in.

Chang Gui said: "Brother Fei, do you have any instructions?"

Ye Yunfei said: "Chang Gui, Ding Li has been busy with the power plant recently, so you need to keep an eye on Longmen."

Chang Gui said: "Don't worry, Brother Fei, I will take good care of Longmen. If there is anything, I will report to you at any time."

Ye Yunfei said: "Not only should you be optimistic about Longmen, you should also recruit a large number of people for Longmen."

"During this period of time, you must do your best to recruit more people to Longmen, especially some powerful and useful people, and recruit them into Longmen."

"I will give you a sum of money and let you be responsible for recruiting people."

Power plants are primarily there to make money.

But Longmen still needs to recruit people.

Once enough money has been earned, it’s time to continue developing Longmen’s power.

And people are the key to everything.

Ding Li makes money while Chang Gui recruits people. Only by taking two approaches can Longmen develop better.

Chang Gui nodded and said, "I understand, Brother Fei, I will immediately start recruiting talents for Longmen."

"Well, you go."

Ye Yunfei said.

Chang Gui nodded, then turned and left.

Ye Yunfei lit a cigarette and thought quietly about what to do next.

……

For the next half month, Longmen basically did two things.

On one side is the power plant that Ding Li is in charge of, and on the other side is the recruitment that Chang Gui is doing.

After a period of development, both things went well.

The power plant has been built, and electric poles have been laid throughout Shanghai in preparation for delivering electricity to households.

As long as electricity is delivered to every household, then you can start making money.

It is estimated that in about half a month, the electricity issue will be completely resolved, and by then, there will be a steady flow of funds.

The situation was similar when it came to recruiting people. In just over half a month, Chang Gui recruited several thousand disciples for Longmen.

Although these new recruits are of mixed quality, they are still capable of taking on important tasks with a little training.

Now that we have people, we will soon have money. In short, Longmen is now developing in a very good direction.

Ye Yunfei predicted that within a month at most, Longmen’s power would develop rapidly.

Even though it may not be able to compare with the three major gangs, it is definitely not much different.

……

Shanghai, Feng family villa.

Feng Jingyao was having breakfast when Ah Xiang walked in and said, "Mr. Feng, you asked me to investigate what Ye Yunfei was doing recently. I found out that he did something big recently."

Hearing Ah Xiang's words, Feng Jingyao put down the milk in his hand and said, "What a big deal he has done."

Before, Ye Yunfei borrowed one million yuan from him, so he asked A Xiang to find out what Ye Yunfei was going to do with the one million yuan.

Now there should be results.

Ah Xiang said, "Ye Yunfei built a large hydroelectric power station in the upper reaches of the Huangpu River. He also erected electric poles everywhere in Shanghai."

"I heard that he is preparing to provide electricity to every household in Shanghai."

Hearing Ah Xiang's words, Feng Jingyao was shocked: "He built a hydroelectric power station, and this kid actually opened a hydroelectric power station."

Ah Xiang said, "Yes, everyone in Shanghai is talking about this now. I heard that Ye Yunfei has announced that he wants to make sure every household in Shanghai has access to electricity."

"Moreover, he has basically achieved this now. The hydroelectric power station and the electric poles have been built. Now we are just waiting for the power to be delivered. As long as the power is delivered, the people in Shanghai will really be able to use electricity."

Feng Jingyao said: "This guy is really doing big things in secret. He said he would borrow my money to develop Longmen, but he actually opened a hydroelectric power station."

"He is really smart to think of such a thing."

Ah Xiang looked puzzled and said, "Mr. Feng, I don't quite understand why Ye Yunfei wants to build a hydroelectric power station. What's the point of him providing electricity to everyone in Shanghai?"

"This is something that the city government should have done, but now he's doing it. Isn't this a waste of time and effort?"

Feng Jingyao said, "You think things are too simple. Ye Yunfei is not a fool. How could he do something futile?"

"It is definitely a big deal for him to build a hydroelectric power station. He probably wants to use it to make money."

"To make money, he wants to make money from the hydropower station."

Ah Xiang said in surprise.

Feng Jingyao said, "Yes, we have used electricity before and know how good it is."

"Once he delivers electricity to every home, everyone in Shanghai will use his electricity. He certainly won't give it away for free. Once he charges for it, it will be the business of the entire Shanghai."

"He will definitely make a lot of money. In fact, the amount of money may be astronomical."

"When electricity becomes a necessity, everyone will pay for it."

"This kid is really a monster. He can even think of such a way to make money. He is really smart."

Even Feng Jingyao now admires Ye Yunfei a little.

Everyone in Shanghai was thinking about ways to make money, but no one could have imagined making money using electricity.

Because electricity is too rare and too complicated, even developed countries abroad can't handle it, let alone Shanghai.

Ye Yunfei built a hydroelectric power station, erected electric poles, and delivered electricity to every household. He made money by using electricity and earned a huge profit.

He is definitely a genius in business.

Ah Xiang finally understood and said, "So that's how it is. Electricity can actually make money. It's incredible. How did he come up with this idea?"

"Besides, this is a big project. Isn't he afraid of paying for it? If he does, it will be a huge loss all at once."

Feng Jingyao said: "So this young man is courageous, willing to give and willing to fight."

"It seems that we are really old and our thinking is no longer as good as those young people."

Ah Xiang also nodded sincerely.

Indeed, after having more contact with Ye Yunfei, he also felt that his thinking could not keep up with Ye Yunfei.

Ye Yunfei is always able to do something very unexpected but extremely useful.

"But what he did was also good for us."

Feng Jingyao added: "I lent him the money to open the hydropower station. When he makes money, he should at least give me some of it."

"I won't let him get away with it. It's not that easy to make money with my money."

Feng Jingyao has already thought about asking Ye Yunfei for dividends the next time he sees him.

At least some of the money earned by the hydropower station should be given to him, and this kid shouldn't get it for free.

"By the way, Mr. Feng, there is one more thing I want to report."

"Not long ago, the Japanese came to us, and they had a batch of goods that they wanted to enter Shanghai from our dock."

Ah Xiang spoke again...

Brothers, please give me some gifts. I’m starving and I don’t have any money for food this month. Just give me some gifts.
