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

Chapter 598 More Expensive Than Gold

598 is more expensive than gold

However, Ye Qingshan didn't care.

His layout in Western Australia is now complete.

It's not something that a British governor can stop.

Just as Charles and Ye Qingshan were chatting, Major General Frank at the US Pacific Fleet Command also received Charles' telegram.

“Charles is going to send another fleet to help?

Where did he get his fleet?"

Frank looked at Charles' telegram in confusion.

An American colonel next to him whispered a few words.

Only then did Frank understand what Charles meant about the origin of this fleet.

"What use is there for an escort fleet?"

Frank showed disdain and threw the telegram on the table.

Indeed, in the eyes of these senior US Navy officials, Ye Qingshan’s escort fleet is not worthy of being mentioned in the official account.

"General, that's not the case.

Now, our two fleets are fighting with the main fleet of the Japanese army in the Coral Sea.

I am worried about what will happen if the Japanese landing fleet takes the opportunity to attack Port Morebis."

The Colonel continued.

"They dare."

Frank yelled.

But after a moment, he nodded calmly: “Your concerns are not unreasonable.

You mean the convoy that Charles recommended.

To patrol the northern waters of Australia to prevent other Japanese fleets from secretly attacking Port Morebis?"

"Yes, General.

That’s exactly what I meant.”

"Okay, call Charles back.

Let this escort fleet go north to patrol the waters off northern Australia."

Not long after, Charles received the telegram sent by his adjutant, and then handed it to Ye Qingshan with a smile.

"Ye, at the headquarters, General Frank has agreed to allow your fleet to join the war.

Have your fleet refuel at the port and immediately head north.

Rushed to patrol the northern waters of Australia.

If you discover a Japanese landing fleet, stop them immediately."

Ye Qingshan also realized from this order that the American commander Frank really did not think highly of his fleet.

Ye Qingshan’s fleet was given a minor mission.

This is also reasonable.

"Okay, there's always something better than nothing."

Ye Qingshan handed the telegram back to Charles and agreed to the order.

Immediately, Ye Qingshan asked someone to convey the order to Wang Chuying, asking their warships to complete refueling at the port.

Set off north overnight.

The fleet officers, who had been eager to take action for a long time, could no longer wait.

After receiving Ye Qingshan's order, they quickly completed the refueling of the warship and left the port north overnight.

After resolving the matter, Ye Qingshan returned to his residence to rest.

I also told Alice that I would be attending the aristocratic ball tomorrow night.

"Honey, can I not go?"

Alice was a little unhappy.

The journey during this period made her a little tired. She just wanted to rest at her residence and didn’t want to go anywhere.

The idea is to let Ye Qingshan go by himself.

"Hey."

Ye Qingshan hugged Alice and said helplessly: "Now the outside world thinks that you are the president of Qingshan Group.

It's you they want to see, not me, their CEO husband.

So, you and I have to go together.

I'm sorry that you have been wronged because of my affairs."

"My dear, what are you talking about?"

Alice broke free from Ye Qingshan's arms and turned to look at him.

The previous unhappy look disappeared from his face, and he looked at Ye Qingshan seriously and said, "It's just a social dance.

To me, this is all trivial.

I have more experience than you in dealing with those powerful people.

I'm happy to share the pressure with you."

Ye Qingshan was very happy to hear Alice's thoughtful words and kissed her forehead.

The next night, Ye Qingshan and Alice came to the Felix Manor as agreed.

Charles didn't come with Ye Qingshan.

Now most people outside don’t know that Charles is Ye Qingshan’s man.

Ye Qingshan wanted to continue to conceal this relationship to make it easier for Charles to do things in the future.

Besides, it is not easy for Charles to attend such a gathering of dignitaries given his status.

After the dance started, many white young people took the initiative to invite Alice to dance.

But Alice rejected them all.

Ye Qingshan's eyes were a little cold. These people really couldn't tell the difference between the big king and the small king.

Ye Qingshan wrote down in his mind the family identities of all the young men who had introduced themselves before.

I will settle the score with you later.

Seeing that Alice didn't like these young men very much, other ladies soon came to chat with Alice.

This way Alice couldn't refuse.

"Go."

Ye Qingshan smiled and nodded to Alice.

With Alice's intelligence, she will have no problem dealing with these ladies.

Compared to the warm hospitality Alice received, Ye Qingshan's side seemed much quieter.

Most of the nobles attending the ball looked at Ye Qingshan with complicated eyes.

Some are envious, some are jealous, and some look down on others.

Ye Qingshan didn't care.

No matter what these clowns think, just don't mess with him.

If anyone provokes him, Ye Qingshan will write it down in his little notebook and will settle the score with you and your family later.

Ye Qingshan is very vindictive.

A few hours later, Ye Qingshan and Alice got in the car and returned to their residence.

"My dear, thank you for your hard work."

"fine."

"What did those people talk to you about?"

"What else can we talk about? Let's start by talking about clothes and jewelry.

It's nothing more than bringing you closer to me.

Then I asked about our group's next penicillin pharmaceutical factory expansion and the recruitment of new distributors.

These people want to take some of the quotas of pharmaceutical companies and distributors.”

Alice leaned on Ye Qingshan's shoulder and said.

"So that's what happened."

After hearing this, Ye Qingshan immediately understood.

“Dear, according to the group documents I have seen in the past few days.

I just realized that this is the most stable source of income for our group now.

It’s actually a penicillin pharmaceutical factory.

Now, our pharmaceutical factory has expanded to five locations.

But the orders have already been scheduled until next year.

In particular, the military from the United States, Britain, France and other countries purchased extremely large quantities.

Therefore, the group’s board of directors decided to expand three more pharmaceutical factories.

At the same time, expand the number of distributors.

For these people, this is a rare opportunity to get involved.

I didn’t reject them, nor did I give them a clear answer.”

"Well, you did a good job."

For the penicillin pharmaceutical factory, this is still the most stable source of income for their group.

Ye Qingshan has always known it.

There's no way, the whole world is at war now.

Especially with the outbreak of the European battlefield, orders from pharmaceutical companies came in like snowflakes every day.

Even the pharmaceutical company has increased the price of penicillin five times.

It’s really more expensive than gold.

Instead, the orders are increasing.

There is no way, this is the horror of monopoly.

There is only one of its kind in the world, no other branches, you have to buy it no matter how expensive it is.

After all, penicillin’s medicinal effects are so good.

For the militaries of the warring countries, there was no better anti-inflammatory drug than penicillin.
