Shanghai: The First Warlord of the Republic of China

These three people asked Feng Jingyao to call him here, so there must be something going on.

Ye Yunfei didn't want to argue with these three old guys, so he just wanted to talk about the matter directly.

Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin looked at each other after hearing this. Then, Du Yuesheng said, "Mr. Ye is indeed a straightforward person. In that case, the three of us will not waste words. Today, we have entrusted Mr. Feng to invite you to dinner because we do have something to discuss with you."

Ye Yunfei asked: "What's the matter?"

Du Yuesheng said: "What we need to discuss is the layout of Shanghai and the allocation of land."

Ye Yunfei frowned slightly and said, "I don't quite understand the layout of Shanghai and the distribution of territory."

Du Yuesheng said: "Mr. Ye, you have swallowed up countless small gangs in Shanghai one after another, and you even destroyed the Axe Gang a few days ago. Now you are ranked among the top five gangs in Shanghai."

"Both your power and your territory are already very large."

"You should have heard about the previous situation in Shanghai. Seventy to eighty percent of the territory in Shanghai was controlled by our three companies. Now the territory you have annexed also occupies one-fifth of Shanghai. Therefore, we want to redivide the territory with you."

Ye Yunfei lit a cigarette, looked at the three people in front of him calmly, and said, "How do you three want to redivide the territory? Please tell me, I am all ears."

Du Yuesheng said: "Shanghai originally had a total of 32 districts, and these 32 districts were basically controlled by our three companies, Mr. Feng's Feng Chamber of Commerce, and the previous Axe Gang."

"Among them, our three families and Mr. Feng each have seven districts, and the Axe Gang occupies two districts, for a total of thirty districts."

"There are two other areas that are occupied by a number of small gangs."

"This is how the thirty-two districts are divided. Mr. Ye should be aware of this."

Ye Yunfei nodded and said, "I've heard about it before."

He did hear some things, but not as detailed as what Du Yuesheng said.

There are thirty-two districts, the three tycoons and Feng Jingyao each occupy seven, the Axe Gang has two, and all the small gangs have two in total.

It seems that Shanghai has indeed been divided up cleanly by these bigwigs at the top.

The major regions are controlled by these bigwigs. The thousands of gangs in Shanghai nominally occupy only two districts in total.

Moreover, if my guess is correct, those two districts should be remote areas with no oil or water.

There is also the Axe Gang, which seems powerful and ranks among the top five gangs in Shanghai, but it only occupies two districts.

Compared with these three, it is far behind.

The three tycoons, plus Feng Jingyao, are indeed worthy of their reputation.

Ye Yunfei looked at Du Yuesheng and said, "What do you mean by redividing the territory, Mr. Du? How do you plan to divide it?"

Du Yuesheng said: "It's actually very simple. If you swallow up the Axe Gang, the two districts of the Axe Gang will be handed over to you and you will be in charge of them."

"In addition, we can also give you one of the areas occupied by those small gangs. In this way, you, Longmen, will have three districts."

"What do you think of this, Mr. Ye?"

After Du Yuesheng finished speaking, he looked at Ye Yunfei.

Ye Yunfei took a puff of cigarette and said calmly: "Mr. Du, what you said is not appropriate. The Axe Gang was destroyed by me, and their territory was originally mine."

"As for the area you mentioned that the small gang occupies, since none of you want it, it must be the worst place. Moreover, there are hundreds of gangs occupying one area, so how can I take it down easily? I'm afraid it's not something that Mr. Du can give to me with just a word."

"To put it bluntly, I have to fight on my own."

"If that's the case, then there doesn't seem to be a need to divide the territory. We can just grab it based on strength."

What Du Yuesheng said seemed good and fair, but in fact it was all nonsense.

He had already taken over two districts of the Axe Gang. The other district was jointly controlled by thousands of small gangs. If he wanted to take it, he would have to snatch it from those small gangs.

Although small gangs are nothing, hundreds or thousands of them together are not easy to deal with. It is not uncommon for ants to kill elephants.

To take that area is to invite trouble.

So, what Du Yuesheng said was pure bullshit.

Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Du Yuesheng and the other three frowned slightly.

Du Yuesheng said: "So, Mr. Ye is not satisfied with controlling three districts."

Ye Yunfei said calmly: "Since we are discussing this, I will also put forward my opinion. Please consider it."

"I'm a newcomer, so I can't compare with the three big guys. I've already taken over the two districts of the Axe Gang. They were originally mine."

"Also, each of you three will give me one of the seven districts you occupy."

"Well, my Dragon Gate has five districts in total, and the three of you will each have six districts. That's fair, how do you think?"

Hearing Ye Yunfei's words, the three people's faces instantly turned gloomy.

Ye Yunfei actually wanted to take one district from each of the three of them.

The reason they came to discuss with Ye Yunfei was to restrict the development of Longmen.

And now Ye Yunfei wants to take away a district from them, how could they be willing?

Du Yuesheng said, "I'm afraid that won't work. The three of us have seven districts each. It has been decided long ago and has been like this for decades. How can it be changed?"

Huang Jinrong slammed the table and said, "Mr. Ye, you want to divide our territory. I'm afraid that's a bit too much. No one has ever dared to divide the territory of our three families."

Zhang Xiaolin also said gloomily: "Mr. Ye, we gave you three districts, which is already very good. The previous Axe Gang only had two districts."

"You have three districts. Your territory already exceeds that of the Axe Gang. Don't go too far."

The three of them stared at Ye Yunfei coldly, and there was a threatening tone in their words.

Ye Yunfei looked calm and said, "You three asked me to come here to discuss this. You can put forward your opinions, and I can naturally put forward mine."

"If the three of you have already made your decision, then what is there to discuss?"

"My idea is very simple. Each of you three will give me one area. Each of you will have six areas, and Longmen will occupy five areas. This way, there will be peace and everyone will be happy."

"You three can consider it."

Zhang Xiaolin slammed the table and stood up, angrily saying, "Ye Yunfei, you want us to give you a district each. That's impossible. You can only have three districts at most. You can't add more. This is the rule."

"Giving you three districts is already very good, don't push your luck."

"If you don't agree, then we can only solve it our way."

Zhang Xiaolin's threat was more serious.

Ye Yunfei glanced at Zhang Xiaolin, then said to Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng, "If this is the attitude you three have, then there is no need to discuss this further."

"I have clearly told you three that I do not agree with the opinions you have put forward."

"The development of our Longmen will not be restricted by anyone."

After hearing Ye Yunfei's words, Du Yuesheng and the other two looked a little ugly, and no one spoke for a moment.

"OK OK."

At this time, seeing that the situation was not right, Feng Jingyao said: "We are all friends, why do we have to make it so tense? Since we are discussing it, we must discuss it. There is no need to get angry."

"Since we can't come to an agreement today, I suggest that you go back and think about it for three days, and then give each other a reply after three days."

"Anyway, both of you have put forward your suggestions. Time is tight now. It's normal that you can't figure it out for the time being. Think about it carefully for three days. What do you think?"

Feng Jingyao was trying to save the situation, and as they walked down the stairs, everyone naturally understood.

Ye Yunfei, Du Yuesheng and others all nodded.

"Okay, let's talk again in three days. I have something else to do, so I'll take my leave now."

Unable to reach an agreement with these people, Ye Yunfei was too lazy to talk nonsense with them and just got up and left.

Anyway, his attitude won’t change in three days.

As for whether these three old guys will change, he is not sure. Anyway, he will wait and see. At worst, they will just fall out.

Although these three people are very powerful in Shanghai, Longmen now also has tens of thousands of disciples, so there is no need to be afraid.

Let’s give Feng Jingyao some face today and talk about it after three days.

Ye Yunfei left the restaurant directly.

Just as I reached the door of the restaurant, suddenly, a voice came from my head.

"System detection, the host has recruited 10,000 disciples, the system rewards have been updated."

"Host, please claim your reward."

This is the voice of the system.
