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

Chapter 591 Racing and Enclosure

591 Horse Racing

A huge convoy drove out from the port.

Ye Qingshan was sitting in the car and through the window he could see that at this time, a large number of workers were working inside and outside the port.

Expanding the port, building roads, and transporting construction materials, it seems very busy.

Although there were many white people among these workers, Ye Qingshan saw more yellow-skinned laborers.

In the co-pilot seat, Ye Qinglan turned around and saw Ye Qingshan looking curious about the construction scene outside.

Then he explained to Ye Qingshan: “President, this Hedland Port has been bought by our group.

Originally, the port here was too small.

I asked the engineering department to formulate the three-phase expansion tasks.

The first phase has been completed, and it is the dock you saw when you entered the port just now.

Now, the second phase of the project is underway and will be almost completed after the new year.

After the completion of the three phases of the project, our port will become the largest port along the entire coast of Western Australia.

More than their state capital, Perth.”

Ye Qingshan didn't say anything, his eyes just continued to look outside at the bustling construction scene.

To be honest, Ye Qingshan likes this kind of construction scene very much.

This represents a place that is about to prosper in the future.

At the beginning, Ye Qingshan chose Western Australia as his second overseas base outside the west coast of the United States.

Of course, Ye Qingshan has his reasons.

What Ye Qingshan was interested in was naturally the rich underground iron ore resources here.

During the late period of World War II, if Ye Qingshan wanted to build a fleet, it would actually not be appropriate to do so within the United States.

After all, the American system is too sound.

Ye Qingshan didn't play too big or too excessively, otherwise the American top leaders might turn a blind eye.

However, once Ye Qingshan played too big in the later period, even the Americans felt threatened.

Those white elites will not show any mercy when they take action.

The gentlemanliness and kindness of the Ansa people are just a disguise after they become powerful.

These guys who made their fortunes from their pirate ancestors have the genes of bandits in their blood.

Once someone poses a threat to them, their true colors are revealed.

Therefore, Ye Qingshan was somewhat hesitant in the United States.

We can only open up new bases.

Moreover, it would be best if this base is located in a remote area with rich resources.

This is the best place for Ye Qingshan, the warlord leader, to develop.

If you look around the world at this moment, there is no place more suitable than Western Australia.

At this time, the area is vast and sparsely populated, except for some gold diggers who came from Europe in the past hundred years.

There are no local indigenous people here at all, and some places are truly uninhabited for thousands of miles.

You have to know that at that time, the total population of Australia was less than eight million.

Eighty percent of them are located on the eastern coast, where European colonies and aristocrats like to live.

In their eyes, Western Australia is a deserted place with no birds or birds.

Western nobles are too lazy to come. Only those who are on the brink of death and have nowhere else to go will come here to pan for gold and try to change their fate.

Now, the most attractive thing here is the gold mine, not the iron mine.

Compared to those gold diggers who have no money and no connections, Ye Qingshan arrived with a huge consortium alliance behind him.

For these gold diggers, it is basically a dimensionality reduction attack.

Ye Qingshan remembered that a year ago, their group had just sent people to Western Australia to grab land.

Ye Qingshan also often received complaints from Ye Dakang in telegrams.

Complained that the gold diggers here were unfriendly and often attacked their company's people.

As a result, after the armed team sponsored by their consortium arrived and annihilated several gold-mining teams, no one dared to touch anyone from their company anymore.

Ye Qingshan could no longer hear Ye Dakang's complaints.

As for the powerful and wealthy people in Australia at this time, they were in front of the huge sums of money thrown by Ye Qingshan, Anthony and others.

Without hesitation, they chose to sell a large amount of land in Western Australia at a very low price.

They thought they had made a profit.

After all, there is too much unowned land in Western Australia, so much that they themselves can't even count it.

In their eyes, being able to turn these barren lands into money is simply a great thing.

Both parties are happy with the transaction.

The result was that beneath the land purchased by Ye Qingshan's consortium, there were iron ore that shocked the world, as well as a small amount of gold mines.

But at this time, apart from the core senior executives of the group and staunch allies like Anthony, the outside world did not know much.

Moreover, the area that Ye Qingshan asked Ye Dakang to buy first was the area in the northwest of Western Australia, near Port Hedland.

If we say that 90% of Australia's iron ore is in Western Australia.

Well, more than 90% of Western Australia's iron ore is located in this northwestern area.

In later generations, several super-large iron mines were discovered here alone.

Moreover, they are all iron ores of particularly high quality.

These rich iron ore reserves have not yet been fully discovered, although there are some nobles who have come here to invest.

But the quantity is small.

The rich iron ore here was not discovered until 10 to 20 years later.

At present, Ye Qingshan also doesn’t know how much land his Qingshan Group and its allies have bought here.

Because this number is being updated every day.

The last time Ye Qingshan looked at the data reported by Ye Dakang was a month ago.

This time, Ye Qingshan came here not only as a transit station on his way to the United States.

More importantly, he also came to find out to what extent his company and allies have expanded in Western Australia.

In Ye Qingshan’s plan, this place will be very important in the future.

After settling down, Ye Qingshan will listen to Ye Qinglan's report on the specific situation.

The convoy left the port under the protection of armed soldiers.

Not long after driving out, Ye Qingshan saw several tall chimneys emitting thick smoke in a wasteland on the side of the road.

There is a large factory lying on the wasteland not far away. It is quite large.

“Ashan, this is the steelmaking plant that our company just built in the second half of the year and is currently being debugged.

It will be officially put into production next month.

This is also the third large-scale steel plant put into operation by our group in more than a year.”

Ye Qinglan said with a smile.

"You guys moved faster than I expected.

I am very satisfied.

You guys did a great job.”

“Hey, the strategy formulated by Second Uncle is still reasonable.

We are just completing it step by step according to the plan set by the company.

With the company's strong capital support, these are all small things."

Ye Qinglan did not take credit for it and spoke very humbly.

In fact, these six months have really broadened his horizons.

I witnessed the terrifying financial strength of Qingshan Group.

In addition, there are the American financial groups such as Anthony, Pete, and Joseph, who have connections in the military, political, and business circles.

This will enable their construction and development plans here to move as fast as a rocket.

Their personal power is very small here.
