Warlord: Starting with Subduing Little A Qiao

It wasn't sealed yet, since it was a sample, and it was convenient to bring it over for Ye Bai to inspect.

Upon opening the box, a pleasant fragrance immediately wafted out from the tin box.

Little Aqiao, who was standing to the side, was even more amazed and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Is this the face cream that Brother Ye mentioned before?"

Ye Bai compared the difference between the snow cream at this time and the cosmetics of later generations, and a look of satisfaction flashed in his eyes.

After handing the face cream to Xiao Aqiao, Ye Bai picked up the lipstick next to him.

At this time, the lipstick clearly created the shape of the tubular bullet that would later appear in the present day, making it a unique design!

When it was handed to Xiao Aqiao, she immediately wiped off her lipstick with a handkerchief and then carefully applied it using the small mirror that was always kept nearby.

After pursing her lips, she held onto the lipstick and didn't want to let go.

Now she looked at Ye Bai with delight and asked, "Brother Ye, can I have this?"

Ye Bai nodded in agreement.

"This is just a sample; once it goes into production, there will be a complete set."

At this moment, facing Luo Zhan to the side, Ye Bai patted Luo Zhan on the shoulder and praised him without reservation.

"Well done."

After the two left, Ye Bai's smile grew wider and wider.

You know, cosmetics have always been the real money-makers, no matter the era!

He could almost see countless coins flapping their wings and heading straight for him!

……

time flies.

A few days later, it was time for Ye Bai and Master Qin to attend the banquet together.

That day, Ye Bai got ready early and began preparing.

Before leaving, Ye Bai seemed to remember something and made a special trip back before returning.

When the appointed time arrived, Qin Wuye's car was seen parked in the distance in front of the Paramount Ballroom.

"boarding."

Qin Wuye, dressed in a black patterned mandarin jacket, was already sitting inside, and Ye Bai immediately followed suit and sat in the back seat.

Once seated in the car, Fifth Master Qin smiled and spoke.

"I heard your soap factory is making a fortune every day."

Hearing Qin Wuye's praise, Ye Bai's expression remained unchanged; he simply smiled slightly.

"Fifth Master is too kind."

After exchanging a few words with a smile, Ye Bai began to inquire about the details of the banquet.

"Fifth Master, what about this banquet?"

Before he could finish speaking, Fifth Master Qin understood Ye Bai's doubts and began to explain.

This dinner was hosted by Yu Hanqing, president of the Shanghai General Chamber of Commerce, and basically invited all the well-known business leaders in Shanghai.

Among them are some top-tier forces, such as the Green Gang and the Hongmen.

There are also some second-rate forces, such as the Paramount and the Axe Gang.

At the same time, business representatives from all walks of life were also on the invitation list.

There were even industry representatives from other provinces who came specifically to attend.

Hearing this, Ye Bai couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The entire banquet was truly a gathering of big names and hidden talents.

In contrast, most of the factories he currently owns are in light industry, and there is still a long way to go in developing heavy industry.

Just as Ye Bai was feeling sentimental, Qin Wuye, who was standing to the side, suddenly laughed.

"It is said that some people come specifically because of your reputation."

Upon hearing this, a clear look of doubt flashed in Ye Bai's eyes.

When this doubt was noticed by Fifth Master Qin, he laughed even harder.

"On the one hand, many wealthy families are eagerly awaiting the new products from your soap factory."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai smiled knowingly.

After all, soap flowers produced by soap factories have long been a necessity for wealthy women and young ladies.

This is all thanks to Xiao Aqiao, who introduced a series of regulations to encourage healthy competition within the factory.

For example, each month, the factory organizes groups to compete for the selection of new products.

Each group consists of a master craftsman and several apprentice workers.

If the group's innovative product is selected, they will be awarded a dollar at the end of the month.

After this regulation was introduced, every team in the soap factory became incredibly motivated, dedicating themselves even more to the research and development of new products.

This has also led to a continuous stream of innovation.

Many wealthy young ladies and wives eagerly await the latest soap flower designs each month.

Thinking of this, Ye Bai snapped out of his thoughts and saw Qin Wuye looking at him as if he hadn't finished speaking.

"On the other hand, everyone also wants to know who is behind the soap factory."

Upon hearing this, Ye Bai narrowed his eyes slightly, pointed to himself with one hand, and said with surprise.

"Interested in me?"

Seeing his shocked expression, Fifth Master Qin burst into laughter.

"You are the manager of the prestigious Paramount Ballroom, and you also run Ye Brand Soap. Your reputation has already spread far and wide."

Ye Bai was immediately embarrassed.

I never thought that being a gossip enthusiast would lead to my own personal involvement.

At that moment, the driver in front had already stepped on the brakes and said.

"Fifth Master, Brother Ye, we've arrived."

As soon as the sound faded, the car came to a smooth stop.

Chapter Twenty-Three: The Boss's Banquet

At this moment, the car had arrived at the venue for the banquet.

Yaji Mansion.

It was already dark, but from a distance, the Yaji Mansion was brightly lit, the ostentatious lights seeming to illuminate the entire sky, as if it were daytime.

You can see the huge fountain in front of the mansion, spewing out large sprays of water, dazzling under the colorful lights.

On both sides are huge welcoming pine trees, as if waving and saying welcome.

Everywhere you look, there's a dazzling display of lights and colors, a magnificent and resplendent sight.

At this moment, the gatekeeper in front of the iron fence had already begun checking the invitations as part of his routine.

After the driver presented the invitation, the vehicle was immediately allowed to proceed.

They drove straight to the parking area inside the mansion, and then the two got out of the car.

As Qin Wuye walked ahead, he spoke to Ye Bai, who was half a step behind.

"When we get to the banquet, you should talk less and observe more."

Ye Bai nodded naturally, indicating his understanding.

After all, those who can attend this banquet are all members of Shanghai's elite.

Ye Bai, on the other hand, had only just stepped into the threshold of the banquet.

Even though he had previously absorbed the power of the Four Seas Gang, his own business seemed insignificant compared to the business tycoons attending the party tonight.

However, the thought that he might meet some prominent figures from the Republic of China era made Ye Bai's eyes light up.

In a chaotic world, heroes vie for supremacy!

And he will be involved in it, how excited he is!

As they walked along the roadside, Qin Wuye's voice continued to echo.

"Tonight's guests are all leaders from various industries. You'll be standing next to me from now on. I can guide you through these connections, but truly building those relationships is up to you."

Having said that, a hint of excitement flashed across Ye Bai's face.

Master Qin was clearly grooming me.
