313 Money earned must be spent
Therefore, Ye Qingshan was forced to purchase another batch of ammunition through the American channels.
However, this time Ye Qingshan did not go through the Pitt family’s channel.
Instead, he went through the channel of Minister Joseph.
These ammunitions are readily available and are in the inventory of American arms companies.
No manufacturing is required.
Just ship it directly.
So, you can reach Hong Kong in a few days.
"Joseph's telegram also mentioned that the Japs seemed to be sending a new air force."
Ye Qingshan looked at Joseph and the information about the Japanese air force mentioned in the telegram.
His expression was solemn.
Ye Qingshan knew that with Joseph's identity.
The intelligence he came into contact with was mostly correct.
Joseph revealed this information to Ye Qingshan on purpose.
After all, Alice is still in Jinling City.
Joseph was worried that the Japanese new air force would continue to bomb the city of Nanjing after arriving.
What if the Japanese don’t follow the moral code and bomb the shelter again?
Alice is still in danger.
So, in the end, Joseph asked Ye Qingshan to send Alice out of Jinling City.
"In this case, we must do it before the Japanese air force joins the battle.
It will further deplete the strength of the Japanese ground forces.
Even if the Japanese air force came, it would not be able to play a key role.
Ultimately, it is the ground forces that determine the success or failure of a war."
Ye Qingshan had a cold face and made up his mind.
At this time, Ning Yongchen came over and handed Ye Qingshan a list of casualties.
“Chief of Staff, this is the statistics of casualties in several divisions on the front line yesterday.
In one day, our army suffered more than three thousand casualties.
It set a record for the highest number of casualties in a single day.
In fact, the two divisions of the 66th Army suffered the heaviest casualties.
All divisions are requesting reinforcements, as well as ammunition."
Ning Yongchen pinched his eyebrows, feeling a little tired.
Ye Qingshan glanced at him and said, "If you are tired, go back and have a rest."
"I am fine."
Ning Yongchen shook his head.
"I have good news for you. We have secured ammunition supplies.
Tell the divisions at the front that the ammunition will be delivered this afternoon.
It will be sent to them.
In addition, the number of personnel in each division was reduced, and the two divisions of the 66th Army were merged into one.
I will add another 3,000 men to them.
Organize a counterattack tonight.
Tell the soldiers on the front line that they can fight as hard as they want.
No need to save ammunition anymore.
I only have one request for them: kill more Japanese devils.
The more enemies that unit kills, the more ammunition I will give them later."
Ye Qingshan knew that the ammunition he ordered would arrive the day after tomorrow.
There is no need to save bullets for the frontline soldiers.
Let go and hit.
This time, Ye Qingshan purchased tens of millions of bullets, almost selling out an American arsenal.
It didn't even cost any money.
Those old American arms dealer consortiums gave it to them voluntarily.
Just to get a distributor position at the penicillin pharmaceutical factory in Hong Kong.
Ning Yongchen was also overjoyed after hearing this: "Okay, I will tell you the news immediately.
Tell the commanders on the front lines."
Not long after Ning Yongchen left, Han Xiaofei sent another new telegram to Ye Qingshan.
This telegram was not sent through the National Army’s radio station.
Instead, he went to the shelter in the city and found the radio in Alice's hand.
Ye Qingshan makes external contacts.
Contact Uncle Lin in Hong Kong, Minister Joseph and others, all using Alice's radio.
It is not convenient for the Kuomintang radio station to broadcast such content.
This new telegram was sent by Uncle Lin to Ye Qingshan.
Tell about the penicillin factory.
At this time, after more than a month of processing and construction, the first phase of the pharmaceutical factory has been completed.
Now, the equipment is being debugged.
Soon, the pharmaceutical factory will be able to officially start large-scale production of penicillin.
This time, we are looking for distributors.
After discussing with Joseph, Uncle Lin finally decided on sixteen places.
Among them, the consortium behind Ye Qingshan and Joseph each got four distributor spots.
In other words, they can entrust these four places to any company for use.
Of the remaining eight distributors, two were used to attract the English.
After all, Hong Kong is their territory now. If they are not given two places, they will make trouble.
The remaining six distributor spots will be sold through external auction.
The one with the highest price gets it.
There is a lot of capital from the consortium behind Joseph, and I guess they will divide the four places among themselves.
On Ye Qingshan's side, the four places will definitely not be used.
It is enough for Ye Qingshan to reserve a place for the Ye family.
Ye Qingshan also asked Uncle Lin to sell the other three places.
The only difference is that it is not sold to foreigners, but to domestic chambers of commerce.
Ye Qingshan doesn't want foreigners to control most of the sales channels of penicillin in the future.
“These domestic businessmen are all quite wealthy.
It was beyond my expectation.”
At this time, Ye Qingshan was looking at what Uncle Lin said in the telegram.
He was also somewhat surprised when the three distributor spots in his hands were taken up by three domestic chambers of commerce.
You know, the selling price set by Uncle Lin as a distributor is not low.
The starting bid is US$5 million, and the highest bidder wins.
Just like that, people outside started to scramble like crazy.
Otherwise, Ye Qingshan personally instructed Uncle Lin to keep these three distributor quotas in the country.
It was not even the turn of the domestic business capital, as the foreigners had already snatched it away.
The starting bid for a distributor position is US$5 million, which is basically beyond the reach of any domestic businessman alone.
But it doesn’t matter, businessmen will stick together.
There are quite a few major chambers of commerce in the country at this time.
For example, the Jiangsu-Zhejiang consortium where Ye Qingshan’s father is, and the Nanyang consortium in Guangzhou.
Each of them is wealthy.
In the end, two of the three distributor spots remaining in the country were taken by each of the two major consortiums and chambers of commerce.
There is another one that seems to have been taken away by a chamber of commerce in Wuhan.
Moreover, Uncle Lin said that this Chamber of Commerce might have a background of high-ranking members of the National Army.
Ye Qingshan was not surprised by this.
As long as they don't break the rules, it's okay to let them take one.
The three distributor quotas in Ye Qingshan's hands were finally sold at a sky-high price of 27 million US dollars.
This is not considered an exorbitant price in foreign countries.
One of the other places in the international open auction almost broke this price.
But in China, this is a sky-high price.
As for the other five places in the public auction, Ye Qingshan will also get half of the profits made by the pharmaceutical factory.
Just like that, Ye Qingshan did nothing, but US dollars came into his pocket every day, and others were still rushing to give him money.
Tens of millions of US dollars were earned just like that.
If this were to be made known to others, it would probably scare a lot of people to death.
Of course, the value of penicillin is indeed worth the price.
"This money, once earned, must be spent."
Ye Qingshan began to think about how to spend the money he had obtained.
"There is."
After a moment, Ye Qingshan actually thought of a new way to spend money.
"Send a telegram to Commander Chen. I have an idea."
Ye Qingshan laughed sinisterly: "Little devils, aren't you going to send a new air force here?
Do you really think I can't deal with you?
I have money,
Since the National Army has no fighter planes and pilots to deal with you.
Then I'll find other helpers.
Those foreign devils say it every day, as long as there is a 300% profit.
They are not afraid of being hanged!
Okay, I'll give them this chance this time."
