Cross the Songhu battlefield and rise to become the most powerful warlord

Chapter 593 The more the merrier

593 The more the better

Ye Qinglan was very happy to see that his performance was recognized by Ye Qingshan.

Ye Qingshan's recognition of his ability to do things is related to how far he can go in his family and the group in the future.

Now, it is beyond doubt that Ye Qingshan is the most core member of the Ye family.

In fact, Ye Qinglan has gotten to know the Western conglomerate families during this period of time.

He felt that in the future, under the leadership of Ye Qingshan, the Ye family might have the opportunity to grow into a behemoth like the Rothschild family.

Putting away the turmoil in his heart, Ye Qinglan continued: "In addition to the 300,000 square kilometers of land that was purchased, our group exclusively owns the remaining 200,000 square kilometers.

The remaining 25 percent is held by a joint venture between our group and other allied families.

The remaining 40% is controlled by other conglomerate families.

For example, the three major families of Anthony, Peter and Joseph, who entered the market earliest, each controlled nearly 10% of additional land.

The consortium families that entered the market late finally divided up the remaining land.

At present, due to financial issues on the group side, my second uncle has slowed down our plan to continue purchasing land.

On the contrary, families outside the market, such as the Lin family and the Buck family, are still continuing to acquire land on a large scale. "

"Is there a problem with the group's funds?"

Ye Qingshan was a little surprised.

He had always thought that his Qingshan Group had sufficient cash flow.

From what Ye Qinglan said, his own group is also short of money.

Although Ye Qingshan’s overseas businesses are indeed quite large.

But he had a penicillin pharmaceutical factory, such a huge treasure trove, as well as other industries such as steel, gold mines, etc.

Logically speaking, the group should not be short of money.

When Ye Qinglan heard Ye Qingshan ask this, he immediately shook his head and said, "Ashan, don't ask me about this.

You have to ask your second uncle.

I am only responsible for the land development tasks in Western Australia. My second uncle has always been in charge of the affairs of the group headquarters.

However, logically speaking, the group should not be short of money.

According to some rumors I heard from my brother-in-law Kate.

It is said that recently your second uncle has joined forces with your father-in-law, Anthony and other families on the west coast of the United States.

Within the United States, it is competing with some established conglomerates on the East Coast of the United States.

Perhaps this is the reason why the group is facing financial difficulties."

"Really?

Are my father and my father-in-law doing something big?

Have you already confronted those established financial groups on the East Coast of the United States?"

Ye Qingshan was also a little worried.

Ye Qingshan has always been associated with the consortium families on the west coast of the United States.

But in this era, most of the top financial families in the United States are on the East Coast.

However, with the addition of Tsingshan Group in the past two years, the West Coast Consortium's strength has expanded rapidly.

It has already come into competition with the old conglomerate families on the east coast of the United States in various aspects including business.

Ye Qingshan didn’t feel this deeply, after all, he was not in the United States.

Soon, Ye Qingshan withdrew his thoughts and dealt with the matters in Western Australia first, and what was happening in the United States.

Everything will become clear when he arrives.

“Third brother, our group can temporarily postpone the acquisition of land in Western Australia.

At present, the land we have in our hands is enough for my use in the next few years.

Next, you will shift your focus to developing the minerals beneath the land we purchased.

Speed ​​up the construction of factories.

I expect that I will need your help after tomorrow."

Ye Qingshan reminded Ye Qinglan.

Ye Qingshan acquired the land here mainly to utilize the rich iron and coal mines here to build an army and serve the war.

Ye Qingshan never planned to really use money to buy millions of square kilometers of land in Australia.

Because that's simply not realistic.

Not cost-effective either.

According to Ye Qingshan’s plan, after he uses the iron and coal mines here, he will expand his fleet and army starting next year.

With a fleet and artillery, the land in your hands will truly be yours.

Even if it belongs to someone else, it can be yours at that time.

Not also.

If you don't agree, I'll use the muzzle of a cannon to reason with you.

Why waste so much money buying from others?

"okay, I get it.

As for the other families..."

“If other families want to continue to acquire land, you don’t have to stop them.

If we block it, it will only destroy our alliance.”

"it is good."

“In addition, from now on, you can place orders with our allied families in the name of the group.

The orders are mainly for steel, ships and military industry.

I'll take as many as they have.

As long as these people can make money, they will have the motivation to expand steel mills, military factories and shipyards in Western Australia."

Ye Qingshan also needs to rely on the power of these allied families to contribute to his future military expansion plans.

This was Ye Qingshan's real purpose in bringing them to Western Australia to enclose land and make a fortune.

Otherwise, why did Ye Qingshan bring them to play together?

Now, it's time for them to give back.

However, directly forcing these people to invest and build factories is a bad idea.

But Ye Qingshan understood the nature of these conglomerate families.

Only if they can also benefit from Ye Qingshan's expansion will they be motivated and not resist.

"okay, I get it."

Ye Qinglan wrote down Ye Qingshan's instructions.

"How many workers have we migrated to Western Australia at the moment?"

Ye Qingshan sorted out the industrial issues and asked about other aspects.

“At present, our group alone has relocated more than 40,000 workers to Western Australia before the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor.

But most of them are Chinese workers in the United States and laborers in Southeast Asia.

There are only a few hundred white skilled workers and engineers.

Fortunately, after the United States entered the war, our efforts to relocate workers were not greatly affected.

After all, our ships mainly sail across the eastern Pacific, and the Japanese naval fleet cannot reach that far.

It's just that the cost of recruiting workers has increased a little.

Now, our group has more than 300,000 workers in Western Australia, including those who have migrated and recruited locally.”

"so much?"

Ye Qingshan was a little surprised.

"Mainly, many of them are refugees fleeing from Southeast Asia.

The Japanese rule over there was extremely brutal.

Many people fled.

Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many people.

To be honest, this number of people exceeds the number of workers our group needs.

Even the allied families couldn't digest it.

After all, they had recruited workers themselves before.

So, I have no choice but to let the extra workers do road repairs and other work."

Ye Qinglan quickly explained.

He thought that Ye Qingshan was dissatisfied with the large number of workers.

After all, the more people there are, the greater the expenses will be.
