Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Hearing Xu Wenqiang's words, Ye Yunfei rolled his eyes and said, "You asked me to teach you how to develop the economy, but I only know a little bit about it myself. You are a person who has studied in Peking. Don't you know how to develop the economy?"

Xu Wenqiang said: "I have read some knowledge about economic development in books, but that is only knowledge from books after all. There is still a big gap when it comes to actual practice."

"Besides, we now control the entire southeast, which is a very large area. If we don't develop it well, it is likely to bring huge troubles."

“So, if you want to develop, you have to have a complete strategy without any problems, otherwise, it feels like something will go wrong.”

Obviously, Xu Wenqiang is still quite cautious now.

This is also normal.

Because before that he was only managing a Shanghai Beach.

Although Shanghai is prosperous, it is not big after all. Managing Shanghai is difficult, but not too difficult.

But now, the territory controlled by Longmen is dozens or even hundreds of times as large as Shanghai.

There are tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of ordinary people here. If the economic policies are not formulated properly, it will bring devastating consequences.

Therefore, this economic designation is still very important.

Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said, "How about this? Since you have nothing to do during this period of time, how about you go abroad to study?"

"Study abroad."

Xu Wenqiang opened his eyes wide and said, "Brother Fei, you want me to go abroad to study, what is the point of studying abroad?"

Ye Yunfei said: "What else can I do? Of course, I can study economics. Nowadays, foreign countries are generally more developed than the Republic of China, especially those Western countries, where the economies are better than one another."

"When you go to study abroad, learn how they develop their economy, bring back their excellent development experience and apply it to us."

"In this way, we will be able to govern the southeast better and better."

After listening to Ye Yunfei, Xu Wenqiang nodded and said, "This is indeed a solution. I heard that Western countries are now very developed and their economies are extremely prosperous. They are decades ahead of us."

"If you fall behind, you will be beaten. It is indeed possible to learn from their development experience."

"It's just that there are still many things to deal with in Longmen. If I leave, what will happen to Longmen?"

After Xu Wenqiang finished speaking, Ding Li also said, "That's right, Brother Fei, if Brother Qiang leaves, what will happen to things in Longmen? Longmen is so big now, there are so many people, and there are a lot of things to do every day."

"Brother Qiang is directly responsible for many things. If he leaves, it will be difficult to handle."

Ye Yunfei said: "There are some good young people among the younger generation of Longmen now, let's leave the work to them."

"We are now a large-scale Longmen. We can't rely on just one or two people. If we were weak, we could rely on one or two people. But now that the scale is so large, if we rely on just one or two people, something bad will happen."

"What if Wen Qiang gets sick, gets married, or gets injured in the future? Will the dragon gate stop functioning?"

"So, it's a good opportunity to take advantage of this opportunity to train the abilities of the young people in Longmen. This is a good thing."

Although his words were harsh, they were true.

The current Longmen cannot rely on just one or two people, not even him.

In other words, if Longmen leaves a certain person, it will also turn.

It is not normal to rely on one person for the entire dragon gate.

Xu Wenqiang has done an outstanding job in Longmen. In fact, he is considered the soul of Longmen.

However, Longmen cannot have only Xu Wenqiang, there must be more outstanding young people like Xu Wenqiang to emerge.

In this way, Longmen can become stronger and stronger and develop better and better.

In fact, Ye Yunfei had realized this problem before.

Longmen is very short of talent.

It seems that there are always only Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang by his side.

No matter what the task is, the only two people who can be sent out are Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang.

Of course, Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang are capable enough.

However, no matter how powerful they are, such a huge dragon gate cannot be managed by just the two of them.

Now that Longmen is such a large territory, even if each province sends one person to manage it, there must be seven or eight core figures.

But now, he was really worried about sending other people to manage a province except Xu Wenqiang and Ding Li.

So this time, we must cultivate more talents for Longmen, the top talents.

Xu Wenqiang probably understood what Ye Yunfei meant. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll listen to Brother Fei and go study abroad to learn economics and experience and knowledge of urban management."

"After we come back, we will govern our southeast well."

"Ah."

Ye Yunfei nodded.

Ding Li said: "Brother Qiang, how long will it take you to be gone?"

Xu Wenqiang said, "About three months. I will try to learn all the advanced things and culture from the West in about three months, and then apply them to ourselves."

"With my ability, three months is about right."

"Oh."

Ding Li nodded, with a hint of disappointment in his eyes.

He and Xu Wenqiang have known each other for a long time, and they cooperate with each other very well. Now they are as close as brothers.

Moreover, since joining Longmen, they have almost never been separated.

Now that Xu Wenqiang is going abroad, Ding Li is still a little reluctant.

Ye Yunfei said: "Tonight, the three of us will have a meal together as a farewell party for Wen Qiang."

"It's been a long time since the three of us have had a good conversation. Let's have a good chat tonight."

"it is good."

Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang both nodded.

Then, in the evening, Ye Yunfei booked a banquet outside and called Ding Li and Xu Wenqiang over.

The three of them ate, drank and chatted.

After getting drunk, the three of them talked a lot.

From the first time the three met in Zhabei District, Shanghai, to later dealing with the three tycoons of Shanghai and defeating them one by one, they dominated the entire Shanghai, and Longmen became the number one gang in Shanghai.

Later, Lu Yongxiang, Wu Fatian and other famous warlords of the Republic of China came to Shanghai one after another.

The three of them eliminated all these warlords one by one, and expanded Longmen's power from Shanghai to the south and north of the Yangtze River, and now the entire southeast.

Today, the entire southeast, nearly eight provinces, are all Longmen’s territory, occupying almost half of the country of the Republic of China.

From the Zhabei District at the beginning to the entire Southeast now, I don’t know how much I have experienced along the way.

Looking back now, they suddenly realized that the three of them had been through so much together...
