Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

Ye Yunfei was quite familiar with Feng Jingyao.

Feng Jingyao is a cunning man. No matter what he does, he has a purpose.

He won't do anything without a purpose.

Therefore, since he was allowed to participate in the establishment of the water company, there must be a purpose for it.

I just don’t know what Feng Jingyao’s purpose is.

Feng Jingyao said with a smile: "Of course I hope to do this kind of thing that is good for my reputation with you."

"This way, whether it's for your Longmen or my Feng's Chamber of Commerce, it will be a good and positive influence, isn't it?"

"Don't you want to do good things with me?"

Ye Yunfei took a puff of cigarette, glanced at Feng Jingyao, and said, "Mr. Feng, to be honest, I am indeed interested in setting up a water company, but I want to know your real reason."

"Mr. Feng, there's no need to say anything in that situation. We are all knowledgeable people, so there's no need to beat around the bush. Mr. Feng, just tell me directly why you want me to join you in setting up a water company."

Feng Jingyao stared at Ye Yunfei for a while, then said, "Okay, since you are so straightforward, I won't be fussy about it."

"I really need your help to accomplish this. Water may seem ordinary, but it actually involves a lot of interests."

"Almost everywhere in Shanghai, there are water tyrants. The so-called water tyrants are people who control the water."

"For example, if you want to draw water from a well, there will be a water tyrant in charge of the well. Only if you pay the fee can you draw water from the well."

"There are a lot of these water bullies in Shanghai. Although they are not a big gang, they exist everywhere and their numbers are quite large."

"If we want to set up a water company, we will inevitably have conflicts with these water tyrants. Once the water company is formed, it means that their livelihood will be cut off, so they will definitely not give up."

"We have to deal with them first before we can set up the water company. Otherwise, even if we set up the water company, we will face endless troubles."

Feng Jingyao said several sentences, frowning as he spoke. It was obvious that these water bullies had also caused him a lot of trouble.

To him, large gangs are not scary.

Even if it is one of the most powerful gangs in Shanghai, it is nothing.

But these little hooligans are very difficult to deal with. There are too many of them, like cockroaches, scattered everywhere in Shanghai.

You can't kill them all.

Moreover, these people cannot be killed all at once. They exist wherever there is water.

If you kill one, a second one will pop up immediately, and you can never kill them all.

Now is the critical moment in his campaign for Hua Dong, and things cannot get out of hand, so he asked Ye Yunfei to solve it.

After listening to Feng Jingyao's words, Ye Yunfei also understood.

In fact, he had seen this kind of water bully before.

There are water tyrants right in the urban village in their Zhabei District.

Nowadays, almost everyone draws water from the well, and every time you go to draw water you have to pay a dollar, otherwise you won’t be given any water.

He had seen these people before. They were basically small-time hooligans and gangsters, not very powerful.

But as Feng Jingyao said, the number of these people is indeed very large.

There are groups of three or five people in every place, and some in groups of more than ten people.

In the whole of Shanghai, there are probably thousands of people like this.

After figuring out these things, Ye Yunfei looked up at Feng Jingyao and said, "So, Mr. Feng hopes that I can deal with these water bullies."

Feng Jingyao said: "Yes, these hooligans are just like cockroaches, disgusting and difficult to deal with."

"If you can find a way to deal with them, the water company will be fine."

Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I can agree to help you deal with these water tyrants, but after the water company is established, I want 50% of the shares."

"What do you think, Mr. Feng?"

He can get things done, but he must also get the benefits he deserves.

Once this water company is established, it will definitely be a very profitable industry.

Since it is a cooperation, let’s make the issue of shares clear first.

Feng Jingyao's pupils narrowed, and he said, "Fifty percent, Yunfei, you are asking for too much. My Feng Chamber of Commerce will pay for it, and you just send some hooligans to get fifty percent of the shares of the water company."

"Isn't that a bit too much?"

His original plan was to give Ye Yunfei 10%, or at most 20% of the shares, which would be enough.

Unexpectedly, Ye Yunfei actually asked for 50% directly.

It is indeed a big mouth for the lion.

Ye Yunfei said while smoking a cigarette: "Since it is a cooperation, it must be mutually beneficial. Mr. Feng, you pay the money and I work hard, each taking 50%. There is no problem, right?"

"As long as Mr. Feng agrees, I will solve this matter immediately."

"What do you think, Mr. Feng?"

Feng Jingyao rolled his eyes a few times, 50%, his heart was bleeding a little, but thinking of the water company and his upcoming meeting with Hua Dong, he finally gritted his teeth and nodded: "Okay, Yunfei, I promise you."

"In the water company, my Feng's Chamber of Commerce and your Longmen will each own 50% of the shares. We will share the profits equally in the future. Is that ok?"

Ye Yunfei smiled and said, "Mr. Feng is really nice. Okay, it's settled. I'll take care of the water tyrant issue."

"But words are not enough. For such a big thing, we need to sign a contract."

Feng Jingyao said: "You are quite cautious. Don't worry, I won't fool you. If you want to sign the contract, then sign it."

"Axiang, go prepare the contract."

Feng Jingyao asked Axiang to prepare the contract.

After a while, A Xiang brought the contract.

Ye Yunfei checked the contract and signed it after making sure there was no problem.

After everything was done, Feng Jingyao stared at Ye Yunfei and said, "Yunfei, the contract has been signed. Now, it's time to get down to business."

"I'm telling you the truth. There's less than a week left before I run for the Chinese Association of Taiwan chairmanship. This water company is very important to my campaign, so I hope you can resolve it quickly."

"If I run for Hua Dong, it will also be beneficial to your Longmen's future development in Shanghai."

"I told you before that my Feng Chamber of Commerce will be your Longmen's ally in the future. This is not just talk."

"You should understand."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "I understand, Mr. Feng, don't worry, since I promised, I will definitely get it done."

"I'll go and take care of it. I'll notify Mr. Feng when I have any news."

Feng Jingyao nodded: "Okay, thank you for your help, go ahead."
