Since Buck said so, the representatives of other consortium families naturally had no way of objecting.
“Then let’s do this.
This is the first time we have played this kind of gambling agreement.
It’s quite interesting.”
McCarthy said with a smile.
Since everyone agreed, Anthony didn't say anything.
He just looked at Ye Qingshan in confusion, wondering where Ye Qingshan got so much confidence from.
Steel production can be increased more than seven times within three to five years.
You know, the world's steel production has not increased much in the past two or three decades.
The steelmaking method they use now is basically a relatively mature steelmaking technology that was invented at the end of the last century.
Ye Qingshan was in a good mood when he saw that everyone agreed.
It is basically a foregone conclusion that he will win this bet.
Five years later, he only needed to publish the complete oxygen blowing steelmaking method.
It is enough to increase steel production tenfold.
At that time, if he wins the bet agreement, everyone will transfer part of their shares to him, bringing his shares to 10%.
He will then be the largest shareholder of the new steel company.
“Then let’s divide the work.
I plan to complete the technological upgrade of all the steel plants under our new company in about three months.
At the same time, two large steel mills were opened in Nevada and Seattle.
Our families are located in different cities, and each is responsible for an area.
In the second half of the year, they began to compete for the western steel market.
We strive to have the steel produced by our new company occupy nearly half of the market share in the West by the end of the year.
Well, the major domestic steel giants should pay attention to us.
They started to encircle and suppress our market.
At that time, our battle had just begun..."
Anthony then began to divide the work among the various consortium families and set the company's goals for the year.
“Next, we need to elect the company’s CEO.
Responsible for the execution of the company's strategy this year.
From now on, we will select one person per year.”
Subsequently, after popular election, Anthony was elected as the first president of the company.
Buck is vice president.
Ye Qingshan and representatives of other consortium families are all shareholders.
"So what's the name of our new company?"
Hutchinson asked finally.
"Why not call it the New World Steel Corporation?"
Ye Qingshan suggested.
"New World? That's a good name.
This time, we want to create a new steel industry.
I agree with this name, raise your hands if you agree. "
After everyone voted, the name proposed by Ye Qingshan was passed.
After the establishment of the 'New World' New Iron and Steel Corporation, there was actually not much to do with Ye Qingshan.
In the company, Ye Qingshan’s job is to be responsible for the research and development of new steelmaking technology.
The rest of the work was done by Anthony, Buck and others.
However, Ye Qingshan already had a complete set of new oxygen blowing steelmaking technology.
He doesn't need any research and development at all, he just needs to bring it out when the time comes.
But, in the next half month.
Ye Qingshan still frequently holds various meetings and gatherings with representatives of these consortium families.
Mainly, it is to get acquainted with the successors of these conglomerate families.
During this half month, Ye Qingshan also realized this.
The influence of these conglomerate families in the United States.
The integration of such a large factory not only requires the approval of various local government departments, but also requires the coordination of a large number of professionals.
But Ye Qingshan doesn’t need to worry about these now.
Anthony, Buck and others were all dealt with.
During this period, Ye Qingshan also purchased a batch of arms from the Hutchinson and other consortium families.
As well as two bullet production lines and one mortar production line.
These were all loaded onto ships and shipped back to the country.
"Boss, Commander Chen sent a telegram.
They have already received the batch of arms we sent to Hong Kong.
Currently, they are being sent to the Xuzhou battlefield."
Xiao Wusheng read the telegram sent by Chen Cheng from China and said to Ye Qingshan.
"The Battle of Xuzhou is about to have a result."
Ye Qingshan remembered that the Battle of Xuzhou originally ended in May or June in history.
"Our army has just won a great victory at Taierzhuang, killing and wounding more than 20,000 Japanese soldiers.
At present, the main force of the Fifth War Zone has gathered near Xuzhou.
The intention is to gather the main force of the devils again."
"The general outcome of the Battle of Xuzhou has not changed much."
Ye Qingshan also thought that his victory in the Battle of Nanjing would have a great impact on the battlefield in Xuzhou.
So far, it seems that the impact is not significant.
"The National Army will probably not win the Battle of Xuzhou.
The Japanese were too powerful at the beginning of the war.
Even if I support the Nationalist army with a batch of arms and ammunition, it will not be enough to affect the overall direction of the war."
Ye Qingshan had no choice as his personal strength was still limited.
Even if it means affecting the overall situation of the battle, Ye Qingshan must be given time to develop.
But Ye Qingshan is not in a hurry.
Time is on his side.
"How's the site selection for the arsenal back home going?"
Ye Qingshan continued to ask the young martial artist.
"Commander Sun said that after research, they decided to build our first arsenal in Qingtian County.
It is not only close to Wenzhou, but also close to the pier.
Moreover, it is close to the Oujiang River, so river transportation is convenient.
In this way, materials arriving at Wenzhou Port from overseas can be directly shipped to Qingtian and delivered to the arsenal.
It saves a lot of time.”
After hearing this, Ye Qingshan did not ask for any further details.
Ye Qingshan just nodded, believing in the vision of Sun Mingxu and others.
On May 5th, Ye Qingshan has a very important thing to do today.
The car carrying Ye Qingshan, Alice, Pete and others headed towards the San Francisco Bay Area.
"Ye, why did Stanford University suddenly invite you to visit?"
Alice asked curiously in the car.
"Maybe I have too much charisma."
Ye Qingshan chuckled.
Damn, I donated a full $1.5 million to their university.
If you don't ask me to go and take a look, then my money would have been wasted.
Ye Qingshan’s purpose of going to Stanford University was also very simple.
The purpose is to ask them to help make a charger.
When Ye Qingshan, Alice and others arrived at Stanford University, the president of Stanford University personally led people to greet them.
It can be regarded as giving Ye Qingshan enough face.
Nonsense, this face cost a full 1.5 million US dollars.
When the president of Stanford University received this donation, he was also very shocked.
However, many domestic foundations in the United States also have a tradition of donating to universities.
However, such a large donation as one-time donation of 1.5 million US dollars is not common.
Converted into amounts for later generations.
It's like someone donated 80 or 90 million US dollars to Stanford University at one time.
"Hello, Mr. Ye!"
"Hello, principal!"
Ye Qingshan looked at the grand welcome ceremony organized by Stanford University.
Finally, my money was not wasted.
But I still feel sad. If this money was converted into arms, it would be enough to equip several divisions.
But there is no other way, in order to get his only plug-in back online.
Ye Qingshan had no choice but to spend a huge amount of money.
Immediately afterwards, the president of Stanford University took Ye Qingshan to visit their campus and introduced the long history of their university.
Half a day later, Ye Qingshan finally found an opportunity to tell the principal his needs.
"Mr. President, I would like to invite a professor at your school who studies electrical energy.
Form a research team.
Help me develop an electric energy conversion device."
Ye Qingshan explained his request.
"After passing through this power conversion device, the voltage must be reduced to 5V, and the maximum output current must not exceed 1000mA."
Not long after, the president of Stanford University brought two professors over.
"Mr. Ye, these two are the best professors in our university in the field of electrical energy research.
Professor Lucas and Professor Barber.
The kind of electric energy converter you mentioned is one of their research directions.
They are willing to guide students to tackle difficult problems.”
"Hello, professors."
Ye Qingshan shook hands cordially with the two professors.
Finally, there is a glimmer of hope.
"Mr. Ye, the electric energy converter you mentioned is theoretically feasible.
However, now we want to actually build it.
The biggest challenge is the materials.”
Professor Lucas said.
“Professor, I know it’s difficult.
I am willing to fund all expenses for your subsequent research projects.
I hope you can overcome the technical difficulties as soon as possible."
When the two heard what Ye Qingshan said, their attitudes immediately became better.
This is your future financial sponsor, so you have to serve him well.
After all, the topics that these professors research are very expensive.
It’s not easy to find a financial sponsor.
"Also, there is the issue of conversion connectors."
Ye Qingshan also asked them to study the charger plug.
This is not a big problem.
Ye Qingshan stayed at Stanford University until the evening.
He talked for a long time with the two professors.
The two professors were also surprised at Ye Qingshan's knowledge of electricity.
Many of the technical ideas they heard from Ye Qingshan were amazing.
The three of them had a very pleasant chat, and the two professors also had a very good impression of Ye Qingshan.
Nonsense, you’ve never eaten pork, but you’ve seen a pig run.
After all, Ye Qingshan was born hundreds of years later than them.
I have seen many technologies that are currently only being conceived in their laboratories but will be widely popularized in the future.
After everything was settled, Ye Qingshan, Alice and others left Stanford University.
"La la la!"
Ye Qingshan sat in the back seat of the car, humming a little tune.
The mood is wonderful.
This time, he finally achieved the most important purpose of coming to the United States.
He has done everything he could.
All that is left is to wait.
“Ye, you can actually chat with two professors for so long.
It really surprises me.
Do you know anything about electrical energy research?"
Alice blinked her big green eyes, stared at Ye Qingshan, and asked curiously.
"Of course.
Your boyfriend knows everything about astronomy and geography, and knows about the past 500 years and the future 500 years...
Uh, I’ll know in a hundred years.”
"Haha, why is it that there are only a hundred years left?"
Alice was amused by Ye Qingshan and continued to ask.
"Uh, this!
you guess!"
Because I come from the 21st century, which is only a hundred years away from now.
