Chapter 250: Entrepreneurship (3)

Yang Yuxin did not go to the dock to welcome the return of Jiang Yi and Bai Tassel, because there was an urgent matter to deal with.

During this period, the development of Shanghai New Area was quite rapid, on the one hand, benefiting from the superior geographical advantages of Shanghai New Area, and on the other hand, it was also inseparable from Yang Yuxin's personal efforts. Although Yang Yuxin is lustful, he is not a person who only thinks by the lower half of his body, of course he knows that he can now live such a life of wives and concubines, because he is attached to the powerful force of the East China government, and occupies the position of real power in charge of the Shanghai New Area, and if he wants to maintain such a life, he even wants to go further, he must make achievements in this position and prove his worth.

Since the official opening of Yang Yuxin's carefully planned Shanghai New Area Commercial Center, business has been quite hot, and now it has formed a comprehensive commercial area integrating shopping, dining, entertainment, accommodation and leisure, due to the wide variety of goods that can be provided here, it can attract a large number of tourists every day, and the daily business turnover can be as high as hundreds of thousands of silver.

Driven by the film of the East China government, the entertainment industry in the commercial center is also very developed, and almost all the well-known opera troupes in Shanghai have entered the Shanghai New Area to perform. In addition, there are many tourists, and the performance income is guaranteed, so it is well received by various quyi troupes, and several quyi troupes have moved their clubs into the Shanghai New Area, and other quyi troupes have also opened branches in the Shanghai New District.

Coupled with the unique films, singing and dancing performances of the East China government, the Shanghai New Area has become the entertainment center of the Shanghai area, and the entertainment in turn has promoted the development of commerce and catering industries, forming a virtuous circle. Everyone who comes to Shanghai has to go to Shanghai New Area to have a visit, and the people even have their own "If you don't go to the Shanghai New Area commercial center to shop, watch a movie, and listen to a play, you can't be counted as having been to Shanghai." There are also many tourists from other regions.

However, Yang Yuxin did not sit back and relax because of the booming business in the commercial center, and the current business is good because of the entertainment industry, driven by its movies, and secondly, this business model is unprecedented in this era, so there is a considerable sense of novelty, but in order to maintain a good momentum in the business for a long time, it is necessary to work goods and services.

Now the service of the commercial center has been quite good, but the goods that can be provided are not enough, although compared with this era, the goods of the commercial center have been extremely rich, but Yang Yuxin is a traverser after all, of course, the vision is different, in fact, in the eyes of the traverser, this commercial center is more like the farmer's market in the old time and space, because the goods are basically based on daily necessities, and the main clothing, shoes and hats, bags, etc. in the commercial center of the old time and space are very few. Jiang Yi and others decided to take the clothing company as a breakthrough when they started their business, but they also saw that the supply of goods in this area was insufficient and aimed at this gap.

On the one hand, the industrial products produced by the East China Government are sold to other regions through the Shanghai New Area, mainly along the Yangtze River and the southeast coastal areas, and now the East China Government's industry has a small scale, and it has been able to provide certain industrial products; on the other hand, it is to purchase all kinds of minerals and raw materials needed by the East China Government for economic development, mainly including grain, medicinal materials, raw silk, Cotton, timber, various metal ores, etc.

Yang Yuxin also gave full play to his long-sleeved ability to dance, and established a good cooperative relationship with more than a dozen big businessmen, opening more than 10 commercial routes for the East China government's commodity distribution in and out, so that the East China government's products can be exported smoothly, and all kinds of materials required by the East China government are also continuously imported. Therefore, Yang Yuxin's work ability and performance have also been highly praised by the members of the Executive Yuan, although Yang Yuxin's personal life is quite controversial, but the Executive Yuan still turns a blind eye to this, and only does not know.

However, the rapid development of the Shanghai New Area has also caused a lot of trouble, first of all, it has offended many local gang forces. The gangs in Shanghai are extremely powerful, and have a long history, when the travelers first arrived in Shanghai, they still attached more importance to the relationship with the local gangs, and basically did not invade each other, even if they opened docks and operated shipping, they also respected the rules of the gangs very much.

However, after the establishment of the Shanghai New Area, it is inevitable that there will be conflicts of interest with some local gangs, because although the gangs will also have a certain industry, they will take protection fees, set up customs to collect cards, and take a large part of the commission. The Yangtze River waterway is where the interests of many local gangs lies, and even many foreign businessmen have to accept the commissions of local gangs, but the Shanghai New Area obviously will not compromise with the local gangs, and the Shanghai New Area has attracted a large number of quyi troupes, resulting in a significant shrinkage of the quyi market in the old city of Shanghai. Therefore, with the development of the Shanghai New Area, the income of most gangs in the Shanghai area has decreased to varying degrees.

In addition, the development of Shanghai New Area also has a huge attraction to the gangs, and if that gang can control the Shanghai New Area, of course, it can reap great benefits. Although these gangs also know that overseas Chinese are not easy to mess with, there are also some people who take advantage of their wisdom and send people to the Shanghai New Area or Shanghai offices to make trouble, and some people threaten businessmen and artists and do not allow them to do business in the Shanghai New Area, and even rob and beat the staff of the Shanghai New Area.

Naturally, the Shanghai New Area will not be threatened by the gangs, and the means of retaliation are also quite strong, directly dispatched the military formation, and successively ended the halls of the three gangs, completely crippling the three gangs, which also shocked all the gangs, and the gangs also understood that overseas Chinese were not so easy to deal with as the Qing court, so they could only compromise with the East China government, promising that the gang forces would not enter the Shanghai New Area, and the merchants of the East China government could not be controlled by the gangs.

This has caused another sensation in the Shanghai area, after all, the gang power has existed for thousands of years, no matter how the dynasty changes, it is unshakable, even if sometimes the imperial court is stricter, kill a few gang leaders, and even exterminate a few gangs, but immediately there will be new gangs to rise, replacing the old gangs, and so on, even if foreigners come, it will also not be able to solve the gang situation. And it has never happened for the East China government to completely eliminate the gang forces in the sphere of influence under its jurisdiction.

Of course, without the interference of gangs, it is of course much more convenient to do business, otherwise it is a lot of expenses to deal with the ghosts, snakes and gods of all walks of life, and if the gods do not worship all the way, there is a danger of hurting people and losing goods, closing the door and losing money.

And a trouble is brought about by the prosperity of the Shanghai New Area, because the Shanghai New Area has become the fashion center of the Shanghai area, tourists from all over the world have come to play, but also attracted a group of powerful children, these people of course have money, and are not afraid of spending money, but the temper and wealth are also proportional, wanton, make a big fight, three days without making trouble on the body itch, but the family is not rich and expensive, so no one can provoke them, but also boosted the arrogance and temper of these powerful brothers.

However, this set of the children of the powerful cannot be played here in the East China government, and the East China government will not care how powerful their family is, even if the prince and Baylor are here, they must also abide by the rules of the East China government.

Just a few days ago, Chang Qi, the youngest son of Hangzhou General Chang En, came to Shanghai New Area to play, and as a result, he played the young master's temper in Shanghai New District. It turned out that after Chang Qi watched a performance by a local artist organized and trained by the traverser, he was really interested in this novel form of performance, so he named two female artists to accompany him on the spot, but of course he was rejected by the troupe. And this young master immediately became furious, immediately turned over the table to Xuan, and ordered his family to go up and rob people.

In fact, Chang Qi doesn't understand anything, and he has also heard of the prestige of overseas Chinese, but in his opinion, this is the land of Goolan Washe, and what he fights for is just a few dramas, which is nothing at all. Nazhi Theater immediately called the police and took Chang Qi and his entourage down on the spot. Although Chang Qi still shouted, "My father is a general in Hangzhou", in exchange for a few big slaps, his face was swollen.

In the end, Chang Qi was sentenced to 30 lashes in public, imprisoned for 6 months, confiscated all his property, and had to clean the streets every day during his imprisonment.

Hangzhou General Chang En couldn't help but be shocked when he learned that his son was arrested in Shanghai New District, of course he knew that overseas Chinese were not easy to mess with, although he scolded his son in his heart for being ignorant, who to provoke was not good, and he wanted to provoke overseas Chinese, but after all, he was his own son, and he couldn't see death without help, not to mention that his son was imprisoned in Shanghai New District, and he wore prison clothes to sweep the streets every day, and he couldn't get by on his face. So Chang En immediately asked for favors everywhere, and finally found a few businessmen who had business dealings with the Shanghai New Area, and criticized him, hoping that overseas Chinese could open up the net, let go of their children, and offer a huge amount of 500,000 silver.

Now officials in the Shanghai New Area are discussing how to deal with this matter.
