Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Ye Yunfei said: "Yes, I am determined to get this gold mine, no matter what method I use."

"Longmen's development also requires this gold mine."

"However, let's first ask Wen Qiang what he thinks. Maybe he really has some good ideas. Wen Qiang is a smart person with unique insights into things."

"If he has a better solution, he can use his method to deal with it. If he doesn't have a better solution, then I can use my method to solve it."

Tan Xiong nodded: "I understand. Let's wait until Ding Li finishes asking Xu Wenqiang."

They both waited.

About ten minutes later, Ding Li came back.

Ye Yunfei said: "How is it, what does Wen Qiang say."

Ding Li said: "Brother Qiang said that he doesn't have any good solution for this gold mine. Just do everything according to Brother Fei's instructions."

"He also said that if there was any need for him, just give him a call and he would come right back."

Xu Wenqiang is now busy with affairs in the Northeast. The current situation in the Northeast is much more complicated than in Shanghai.

Therefore, it is not realistic to let Xu Wenqiang come back.

Ye Yunfei said: "In that case, then do as I think."

"Come with me to the Central Plains and meet Old Man Yan."

Ding Li said: "Brother Fei, if you want to meet Yan Laoxi, are you going to ask him directly for this gold mine? He won't give it to you."

"Moreover, the warlords in the Republic of China now regard you as their number one enemy. If you go to their territory, you may be in danger."

Ye Yunfei said: "If you want to take over this gold mine, you must go to Yan Laoxi's territory."

"So, no matter if it's dangerous or not, you have to go."

"Let's talk to Old Xi Yan first and see if he is willing to give up this place. Or, I can buy it with money."

"Yan Laoxi doesn't know now that there is a gold mine in this place. He loves money like his life. If he is willing to sell it to us, that's fine."

"If you really can't get it, you can only rob it."

"So, whether we want to discuss it or just rob it, we have to meet Old Man Yan."

Hearing what Ye Yunfei said, Ding Li and Tan Xiong both frowned.

They all felt that it was too dangerous for Ye Yunfei to go to Yan Laoxi's territory and meet Yan Laoxi.

But now Ye Yunfei has made his decision, and they can’t stop him.

It can only be this way.

At this moment, a younger brother came in from outside and said, "Brother Fei, Old Man Yan sent you a telegram."

Hearing this, Ye Yunfei was surprised and said, "You said that Yan Laoxi sent me a telegram. Are you sure it was Yan Laoxi?"

They were discussing Yan Laoxi's affairs when Yan Laoxi actually sent him a telegram.

The younger brother said, "It was sent by Yan Laoxi, directly to our Longmen Telegraph Room, and it was for you."

Ye Yunfei said: "What did the telegram say?"

The younger brother said, "The telegram said that Mr. Yan hopes to meet with you and discuss some things in person."

"The telegram also said that he sincerely invited you to meet and discuss important matters."

Ye Yunfei frowned and said, "What's the big deal? Didn't he tell me?"

The younger brother shook his head: "No, the telegram just said that you are invited to meet."

Ye Yunfei frowned slightly and said nothing.

Ding Li was puzzled and said, "At this time, Mr. Yan invited you, Brother Fei, to meet him and said that he wanted to discuss important matters. What important matters should we discuss? We have nothing to do with him. If there is any important matter, we need to discuss it with him."

Ye Yunfei said: "It seems that Yan Laoxi should have known about the gold mine. He invited me to meet him, most likely to discuss the gold mine."

Ding Li was shocked and said, "Brother Fei, you said that Yan Laoxi knew about the gold mine. That's impossible. We haven't told anyone about this news. How did he know about the gold mine?"

Ye Yunfei said: "There's nothing strange about this. The news about the gold mine didn't originally come from us, but from Jiufang Guild Hall."

"We can get information about the gold mine from Jiufang Guild Hall, so it is natural that Yan Laoxi may also know it."

"After all, as a top warlord in the Republic of China, Yan Laoxi's intelligence capabilities are still very good."

Ding Li nodded: "So that's how it is."

Tan Xiong was puzzled and said, "Since he knows about the gold mine, he can just take people to dig for it. After all, the gold mine is on his territory."

"What did he want to talk to us about? The gold mine, it seems like he has nothing to talk to us about."

Ding Li also said: "Yes, he has news of a gold mine, and the gold mine is on his territory. He just needs to go and dig for gold. What is there to discuss with us?"

They didn't understand what Yan Laoxi wanted to talk to them about.

Ye Yunfei said: "Since Mr. Yan wants to talk to us, there must be a reason for the talk."

"Perhaps, he knows some information about the gold mine, but not much. There are some things he needs to know from us, so he wants to talk to us."

"Anyway, since he wants to talk, let's talk. I also want to meet him."

After that, Ye Yunfei said to the Longmen boy, "Go call Yan Laoxi back and tell him to come to Shanghai to talk."

"Yes."

The younger brother took the order and left.

Tan Xiong said: "Shanghai is our territory. I'm afraid that Yan Laoxi, who is so cautious, may not come to Shanghai."

Ye Yunfei said: "If we talk to him, then the initiative is in their hands, and we have to listen to them."

"But now, he is the one who came to talk to us, so the initiative is in our hands."

"Since he wants to talk, he has to listen to us. He has to talk wherever we say he will."

"If he doesn't want to talk, he doesn't have to come."

"But I guess Yan Laoxi will still come."

"Since he is willing to send me a telegram, it means this matter is very important to him. Even if it is a little dangerous, he will come."

Tan Xiong nodded and said, "Then let's see how he calls back later."

After a while, the younger brother came in again and said, "Master, I have conveyed your words to Yan Laoxi, and Yan Laoxi has called back. He said that he can come to Shanghai to discuss. He will take the train to Shanghai tomorrow and hopes to meet you that day."

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "It seems that Yan Laoxi is a little impatient. I want to see what he wants to talk to me about and whether it is really related to the gold mine."

He said to his younger brother, "Call him back. Sure. He'll come to Shanghai tomorrow. I'll pick him up at the train station and we can talk when we meet."

"Yes."

I went to call back again.

Ding Li said: "Brother Fei, since Yan Laoxi is coming tomorrow, should we prepare some manpower at the train station to prevent him from causing trouble?"

Ye Yunfei waved his hand and said, "No need, Shanghai is our territory, why should we be afraid of him messing around."

"If we prepare manpower, he will think we are cowardly. How can we be afraid of an outsider in our own territory? We don't need to prepare anything..."
