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

Chapter 477 Billion Financial Group

477 billion consortium

The Pitt family's fleet docked at Fuzhou Port for two days and left only after unloading all the cargo.

During this period, the Japanese bombers took off from the Treasure Island on the opposite bank and flew over twice.

They attempted to bomb the Fuzhou Port, but gave up because the American cargo ships in the port had not yet left.

After all, the Japanese had just received a notice from the American high-level officials, telling them not to attack any ships with their country's flag on them.

Otherwise you will bear the consequences at your own risk.

The Americans' warnings are still very effective.

As long as the American ships do not leave the port, the Japs will not dare to bomb the port.

Therefore, the Japanese could only try to use bombers to bomb the convoy leaving the port.

Trying to destroy the supplies purchased by Ye Qingshan halfway.

However, Meng Jifei’s fighter squadron would naturally not agree.

Fighter planes from both sides engaged in two air battles in the sky near Fuzhou, successfully preventing the Japanese from bombing.

Moreover, more P40 fighter jets purchased by Ye Qingshan are still flying in from Siam.

Thanks to Ye Qingshan, the P40 fighter jet has performed excellently.

Especially, the Fuzhou air battle that was won before.

The American military saw the P40 fighter jet and its good performance, which directly led to their military shortening the review time for the P40 fighter jet.

Now, the P40 fighter has officially passed the review of the US military and has been included in the subsequent military procurement list.

Now, Curtiss-Wright, the manufacturer of the P40 fighter, was very happy.

They directly expanded the production line, which greatly increased the output of P40 fighter jets.

Fortunately, Wright Company still knows how to repay kindness.

They know that the P40 fighter jets purchased by the US military are not in a hurry to be completed.

On the contrary, Ye Qingshan’s need for the P40 fighter jets is more urgent.

Therefore, after completing the initial production increase, Wright Company will mainly supply Ye Qingshan's needs first.

After all, Ye Qingshan was also one of the shareholders of Wright Company at that time.

This preferential treatment still needs to be given.

So, Ye Qingshan received thirty of the latest batch of fifty P40 fighter jets that arrived.

The other twenty were given to Zhou Zhirou's Air Force.

Chen Cheng had already told Ye Qingshan that Zhou Zhirou's Air Force wanted to purchase P40 fighter jets.

However, Ye Qingshan never responded.

This time, Ye Qingshan directly sent twenty planes to the other party.

On the one hand, Ye Qingshan really wanted to support the construction of the National Army Air Force so that it would have some resistance capability in the future battles with the Japanese.

On the other hand, Ye Qingshan also wanted to ease the relationship between himself and the command.

Next, Ye Qingshan wanted to expand his 86th Army into a group army.

The approval of the High Command is also required.

Although, Ye Qingshan had already started expanding his army privately.

But the issue of status still needs to be resolved.

The twenty P40 fighter jets were the goodwill expressed by Ye Qingshan.

If the headquarters is willing and agrees to expand Ye Qingshan's 86th Army into a group army, Ye Qingshan does not mind showing more goodwill later.

After seeing Robert off, Ye Qingshan returned to Fuzhou City and took out other documents and letters from his briefcase.

It contains information provided by Ye Dakang and Alice on the operation and expansion of Qingshan Group over the past six months.

Ye Qingshan was also surprised when he looked at the data provided in the document.

Under the leadership of Ye Dakang and Alice, and with the help of his father-in-law Joseph, Qingshan Group expanded faster than Ye Qingshan had expected.

The total valuation of the three expanded penicillin manufacturing plants alone exceeded US$500 million.

If converted to later prices, it would be nearly 30 billion US dollars.

In the letter, Ye Dakang told Ye Qingshan that in order to prevent some people on the Americans from being jealous, Ye Qingshan should occupy half of the shares of the penicillin pharmaceutical factory.

During the past six months, Ye Dakang used other means to disperse Ye Qingshan's half of the shares to other different companies and individuals.

So from the perspective of outsiders, Ye Qingshan only held 10% of the shares of the penicillin pharmaceutical factory.

But in fact, Ye Qingshan still holds half of the shares of the penicillin pharmaceutical factory through direct and indirect means.

Ye Dakang did this entirely out of a sense of crisis.

Because, after spending some time in the United States, Ye Dakang felt deeply that it was still impossible for them to integrate into the top white elite.

People naturally look down on groups other than white people.

Therefore, Ye Dakang understood that when doing business in the United States, he must not be high-profile.

This decision was made.

After watching Ye Dakang's operation, Ye Qingshan couldn't help but sigh: "My father really has an extraordinary vision.

His operation is exactly the same as the "borrowing chickens to hatch eggs" plan I formulated."

Later, Ye Dakang introduced the market expansion of their New Steel Alliance chaired by Anthony on the West Coast in the past six months.

Relying on more production capacity, their new steel alliance is now dumping at low prices.

It has captured more than half of the steel market on the West Coast and has defeated the old steel giants several times.

It can be said that it is in the limelight.

The listed stock of their New Steel Alliance increased fifty-fold within a month.

At this time, Ye Qingshan's shares in the New Steel Alliance were worth more than 300 million US dollars.

If Anthony is really given a few years, he might really have a chance to become the world's new steel giant.

Except for Penicillin Pharmaceutical Factory and Steel Alliance, the two most valuable companies.

Ye Qingshan's Qingshan Group now also had a large steel plant, and had acquired an automobile manufacturing plant, a cement plant, and a shipyard.

As well as investments in aircraft manufacturers, energy, arms industries, etc.

These are also worth more than 400 million US dollars.

In addition to these, Ye Qingshan’s Qingshan Group’s assets now also include a large gold mine, two large copper mines, and a large oil field.

These alone are worth hundreds of millions of US dollars.

These minerals were naturally discovered from the land that Ye Qingshan purchased before.

Ye Qingfeng has been secretly implementing Ye Qingshan's land purchase plan in the United States.

Not only did he buy land in the United States, he also bought land in Australia.

At this time, the third brother Ye Qinglan had been sent to Australia by Ye Dakang, and was in the areas marked by Ye Qingshan before.

Buying up large amounts of land in remote areas of Australia's west coast.

At that time, no one knew that beneath the vast desert on the west coast of Australia, there was a huge amount of the world's highest quality iron ore.

Finally, Ye Dakang made some calculations and found that the asset value of Ye Qingshan’s Qingshan Group at that time was about 2 billion US dollars.

If converted to later generations, that would be assets worth hundreds of billions of US dollars.

Looking at the whole world, it can be called a consortium.

At this time, Tsingshan Group had indeed become a giant in the United States.

Perhaps, compared with those top financial groups such as Rockefeller and Morgan, it is not as good.

But there is absolutely no problem in being ranked in the second tier.

"I am also a consortium now!"

Ye Qingshan laughed.
