479 Transaction Completed
"I want you to provide a thousand engineers and high-level technicians to work for me.
At least for ten years.
But I promise that I will provide them with a salary no less than what they receive in China and guarantee their safety.”
Ye Qingshan first put forward what he needed most at the moment.
For Ye Qingshan, who is going to build his own industrial zone in the future, he has already purchased machines from the United States.
However, machines alone are not enough.
What Ye Qingshan lacked more than machines at this time were senior engineers and advanced technology.
These industrial talents cannot be cultivated in a short period of time.
Even if Ye Qingshan is rich, it might be no problem for him to hire a small number of senior engineers from the United States.
However, if the number is large, it will inevitably attract the attention of American officials.
By then, no one will agree.
These industrial talents are scarce treasures in any country and the government must control them.
This is especially true during times of war like now.
This can only be achieved if Ye Qingshan can obtain cooperation from an industrial powerhouse at the official national level.
Ye Qingshan could do the same. He could continue to use his money to pave the way and bribe the senior officials of the Americans to achieve this goal.
But the cost would be too high.
Instead of that, Ye Qingshan might as well trade with the Germans.
The price offered was just a new steelmaking method which was no longer valuable to Ye Qingshan at this time.
Obviously, the Germans' industrial strength is self-evident.
Their senior engineers and senior technicians are also household names around the world.
If Ye Qingshan could get support from a thousand senior engineers and senior technicians from the Germans.
Next, the industrial development of their base will definitely enter the fast lane.
By then, let alone the steel plant, even Ye Qingshan would have no problem building cars and ships by himself.
“A thousand senior engineers and senior technicians?
This……
General, your price is too high."
After hearing this, Thomas was also stunned, and then said with a wry smile.
"Big? Just a thousand people.
I don't believe that the great German Empire can't produce a thousand senior engineers."
Thomas said nothing.
With the strength of their empire, it would be no problem to provide a thousand senior engineers.
However, if they were to transfer a thousand senior engineers from their country now, it would inevitably affect the production of their factories and arsenals.
This will inevitably affect their leader's next war plan.
But it's unacceptable.
So, after thinking for a moment, Thomas looked at Ye Qingshan and said, "General, one thousand people are too many.
How about three hundred people?
In addition, our empire can form an alliance with your country, or even directly with the general.
In the future, the relations between our two countries will become much closer.
One year, no, at most half a year.
We are willing to provide you with another 300 senior engineers.
What do you think? "
"No, no, no."
After hearing what Thomas said, Ye Qingshan was so scared that he quickly waved his hands.
I won't form an alliance with you, and I will never let the National Government form an alliance with you.
If that were the case, I would become a historical sinner.
I just want to use you, feed you secretly, and make you stronger.
It is to allow you to better harm Britain, France, the Soviet Union and the United States.
I didn't ask you to be the first to cheat me.
At the same time, Ye Qingshan heard what Thomas said next and knew that the man with a mustache was really going to take action.
Otherwise, Thomas would not have said that he would provide him with a new batch of engineers in half a year.
Because the Germans are confident that they can swallow up France in half a year, so they can have more engineers.
“Five hundred, five hundred engineers, this is my bottom line.
Furthermore, after this transaction, we will no longer have any contact with each other.
All relationships remain the same as before.
This transaction must be kept strictly confidential.”
Ye Qingshan just wanted to complete the deal as soon as possible and make some money from the Germans.
We can't delay any longer.
If we delay any further, the mustache guy will take action in Europe and the deal will no longer be suitable.
“Five hundred people?
OK, we agreed.”
After thinking for a moment, Thomas finally nodded in agreement.
"That's great. Time is urgent. Go back and inform your superiors as soon as possible.
Arrange the engineer I want to come as soon as possible.
It would be best to send their families here as well.
As soon as these engineers arrive, the remaining technical data will be given to you immediately."
Ye Qingshan stood up, shook hands with Thomas and said.
"Uh, okay!"
Thomas nodded hesitantly.
He was a little confused in his heart. Why did he feel that Ye Qingshan was happier than him because of the success of this negotiation?
It seems that the one who is in a hurry to complete this transaction is not them, but Ye Qingshan.
Fortunately, this doubt flashed through Thomas' mind and he didn't think about it too much.
Anyway, he only knew that this deal was of great significance to their country.
You know, if they could really double their country's steel production.
That would save them a lot of manpower.
At this time, looking around the world, Germany believes that it is top-notch in terms of technology, talents and other aspects.
But the most troublesome thing is that there are not enough people.
But once a war breaks out, sometimes it comes down to numbers.
Quality alone is not enough.
Now, Ye Qingshan's new steelmaking technology increases steel production, which is equivalent to freeing up more manpower for them in disguise.
Steel and population are the key factors to winning a war.
"General, I have another request."
After the negotiations were completed, Thomas suddenly spoke.
"explain."
"Can you please sell this new steelmaking technology to just us?"
Thomas said a little embarrassedly.
Actually, his request was a bit excessive.
"General, we are willing to pay more chips, but it may take some time."
Seeing Ye Qingshan's cold face, Thomas quickly added.
“Hehe, don’t worry.
It will be difficult for me to find other sellers in the short term.
If you want to monopolize the technical information in my hands, I can wait a little longer."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qingshan smiled again and said.
"Thank you, General."
Thomas was overjoyed after receiving Ye Qingshan's reply.
Soon, Thomas left with the good news and could not wait to report back.
Watching Thomas leave, Ning Yongchen still didn't understand and asked, "General, why did you make this deal with the Germans?
If the Americans knew about this, you would be in big trouble."
Ning Yongchen knew that Ye Qingshan had always been very close to the Americans.
Now, this transaction between Ye Qingshan and the Germans is obviously damaging the interests of the Americans.
Ning Yongchen was a little confused as to what Ye Qingshan was trying to do.
Ye Qingshan turned to look at Ning Yongchen, and understood his doubts, and then said, "Where is Yongchen.
Remember, our good relationship with the Americans is only temporary.
Now we just have common interests. When the interests diverge, we will fall out.
It is better to rely on yourself than to rely on anyone.
Only by strengthening our own country can we be invincible.
That’s what I want to do in life.”
"Yes! Yongchen has learned from you!"
After hearing Ye Qingshan's words, Ning Yongchen admired him even more.
