The Two Heroes of the Ye Family

Time flies. In the blink of an eye, more than half a month has passed since the Japanese Empire declared war on the United States.

At the busy California port, several black Ford sedans were parked, one of which belonged to Ye Mingyu.

Yesterday, he received a call from the California Cruise Company, informing him that the cruise ship from Huaxia Hujiang would arrive at the port tomorrow morning.

Seeing the familiar cruise ship appear in sight, the worry in his heart was finally put to rest.

The person who came with him to pick up the cruise ship was Mei Zihan, the senior brother of his third brother Ye Xiaoyang.

Ever since learning that the Japanese Empire declared war on the United States, Ye Mingyu has been under tremendous pressure.

Every time the cruise ship left Hujiang Pier, my third brother would send a telegram to inform him and ask him to arrange for someone to pick her up.

Over the past six months, we have been responsible for working overtime in California to produce the Xiongfeng series, and we also have to arrange shipments to Hujiang every month.

The last time the chartered cruise ship returned to a California port, it brought back 40 tons of gold.

My third brother didn’t say anything in the telegram, and I only found out about it after reading the letter he brought.

At that time, he almost fainted.

Fortunately, California Customs exempted the cruise ship contracted by the Ye family from inspection at the port, otherwise who knows how big a commotion it would have caused?

My father was a very experienced person. He asked me to interact more often with the main leaders of California Customs.

With so much gold passing through California ports, the customs clearance fees amounted to a large sum of dollars.

He spent a lot of money on socializing and entertaining with customs leaders, and at that time he felt it was not worth it.

Now he understands that the money he spent before was very valuable.

A few months ago, at the request of the third brother, the Ye family in Gusu City purchased another piece of land to the west of Jiangnan Town.

This 100 million mu of land cost 1500 million US dollars. It is a wasteland near the sea and the unit price is not high.

The two pieces of land are connected, which has expanded the area of ​​Jiangnan Town several times.

The third brother also instructed him to hire professionals to build a small deep-water dock on the beach.

Why build this deepwater wharf? What is its purpose? Is the Ye family planning to engage in transportation?

Ye Mingyu read the entire letter several times, but the letter did not explain the reason for building the port.

At that time, he told his father about this matter. His father's reply was very simple: do as the third brother said.

He also knew that his third brother was very capable, and the current situation of the Ye family in Gusu City was basically his credit.

Ye Mingyu is clear about his strengths. He is not sure about the future development direction of the Ye family, but he is good at execution.

In recent years, the Ye family has established two biopharmaceutical companies in California, one of which is a joint venture with the He family.

The joint venture specializes in the production of penicillin-specific drugs, while the other company is producing the Xiongfeng series of products.

In the car, Ye Mingyu opened the envelope and took out a piece of letter from it. It was still a handwritten letter from his third brother.

"Hello, big brother! I estimate that it won't be long before the Japanese Empire goes to war with the United States."

The first sentence in the letter shocked Ye Mingyu.

This letter was written by the third brother a month ago, before the Japanese Empire went to war with the United States.

Ye Mingyu continued reading.

“If these two countries go to war, cruise ships traveling between California and Shanghai will probably be forced to stop operating.

By that time, the Xiongfeng series products will no longer be able to be transported to Hujiang by cruise ships.

I have never explained to you why we produce the Xiongfeng series of products and specifically ship them to Hujiang.

I would like to apologize to my elder brother here. The reason is actually very simple. The Xiongfeng series is prepared for China's enemies.

China’s enemies include the senior officials of the Jinling Light Green Government, the traitors and lackeys of Hujiang, the Japanese devils, etc.

Of course, there are also foreigners in China, and they are also enemies of the Chinese people.

The purpose of foreigners in China is to make money and exploit ordinary Chinese people."

Seeing this, Ye Mingyu took a deep breath.

No wonder the third brother added opium as commission. That thing will definitely make people who eat it addicted quickly.

It is obvious that the third brother wants to use the Xiongfeng series of products to quietly deal with China's enemies and make some money by the way.

A hundred years ago, these Westerners used this trick against the Chinese people, damaging China's national destiny.

Based on his understanding of his third brother, the price of the Xiongfeng series products must be very expensive and ordinary people simply cannot afford it.

The family tradition of the Ye family in Gusu City requires that the children of the Ye family cannot do anything harmful to ordinary people.

We must never be lenient towards our enemies.

At this moment, Ye Mingyu felt extremely relaxed.

He looked at the letter in his hand again.

“Gold reserves are the foundation of a bank. Now that the time is ripe, the Ye family should establish an investment bank in California.

You need to work hard to prepare the information needed to set up an investment bank, and you must spend the money you need to spend.

In recent years, our Ye family’s gold reserves should exceed 200 tons, which is enough to establish a medium-sized bank.

The newly established bank will not be open to the public for the time being, does not need to accept deposits, and will not engage in lending business.

The bank established by the Ye family should be called an investment bank, which is specifically used to invest in technology companies with growth potential.

After the investment bank is established, please first purchase a few small and medium-sized companies with certain technical strength.

For example, automobile engine factories, machine tool manufacturing factories, and precision measuring equipment manufacturing factories.

After purchasing these factories, the Ye family can build branches in small towns in the south of the Yangtze River and try to recruit Chinese people in the branches.

Especially the Chinese people living in small towns in the south of the Yangtze River."

The third brother finally remembered these compatriots. The Ye family’s wealth was enough to support these compatriots, but it always felt a little strange.

After living in the United States for so many years, Ye Mingyu understood one thing: if a country wants to be rich, it must develop its industry.

To put it simply, industrial development means building more factories and using mechanization and scale to improve efficiency and reduce costs.

In addition, developed industry can help the development of agriculture.

The Chinese people rely entirely on manual labor to farm, which is not only inefficient but also very hard for the people.

On many farms in the United States, they have already used machines to harvest ripe rice and wheat.

Human labor and machines are incomparable, and the efficiency gap is like that between a firefly and the bright moon.

If Ye Mingyu had followed his idea, he would have wanted to set up a harvester company specializing in the production of harvesters long ago.

When there is no war in China in the future, the Ye family can return to their hometown in Gusu City and buy a large piece of land.

Only when transplanting rice seedlings do we have to pay to hire people, and during the double-harvest and autumn harvests, we use harvesters to harvest rice.

Farmers no longer need to carry grain on their shoulders when transporting it from field to field. Instead, they can use trucks or tractors to transport it.

I never expected that my third brother would actually want to buy a car engine factory. Does this mean that the Ye family is going to manufacture cars in the future?

This is very possible. The third brother's ability to make money is beyond the imagination of normal people.

By purchasing a machine tool manufacturing factory, the Ye family will manufacture machine tools in large quantities in China in the future.

Only with machine tools can we produce a variety of parts and build airplanes, cannons, ships, etc.

It seems that my third brother's vision is beyond my reach.

He had already seen that after the war in China was over, he would make preparations for the development of China in advance.

However, he only saw the interests of the Ye family, lacked a long-term development plan, and had no concept of the country's future development.

In Ye Mingyu's eyes, the third son of the Ye family is both civil and military, and is also the most caring person.

The third child, Ye Xiaoyang, loves his country, his parents, and his family, and he also takes good care of his relatives and friends.

The development of an enterprise cannot be separated from talents, especially professional talents and management talents, both of which are indispensable.

The third brother said in the letter that he could invite Zhou Yulong, Wu Dayou, Zheng Jianghe and Wang Bowen on behalf of the Ye family.

The four of them graduated from California Institute of Technology and are all top students. Two of them have already started working.

The other two have chosen to continue their studies and are currently pursuing doctoral degrees and will graduate soon.

Over the years, the third brother Ye Xiaoyang has maintained a very good relationship with the four of them.

The Ye family has to set up three new companies in a short period of time, so they naturally need a lot of technical and management talents.

In Ye Mingyu's eyes, Zhou Yulong and the other four people who were studying abroad at the University of California were all rare talents.

In other words, most of the young Chinese people who come to the United States to study are outstanding talents.

Ye Mingyu planned to find an opportunity in a few days to invite the four of them to have a meal at the Ye family.

Then I talked to the four of them about the difficulties I encountered and also shared my third brother's ideas with them.

Ask them to help come up with ideas and help solve the problem of lack of talent in the Ye family.

After I get back, I should talk to my third brother's father-in-law, Professor Zhang, about my third brother's request to purchase three companies.

The old man is well-educated and knowledgeable, and should be able to see the third brother's intention to acquire three technology companies.

In Ye Mingyu's opinion, the third son of the Ye family was a man of foresight. He once said, "A dynasty lasts a hundred years, and a family lasts a thousand years."

Although the third brother's actions seem to be fanciful, they are actually supported by rigorous logic.
