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

68 Chinese and foreign journalists press conference begins

“I have to prepare for the press conference in advance, Uncle Lin.

We'll talk some time."

Ye Qingshan saw that he had performed well this time and did not arouse the old butler's suspicion.

Then he prepared to end the meeting.

"Okay, Second Young Master, you go ahead and do your work."

However, after Ye Qingshan took two steps out, he came back.

"Uncle Lin, my home is in the concession. Is there a factory building available?"

Ye Qingshan asked.

"Yes, Master, what's the matter?"

Ye Qingshan was also very happy after hearing this.

Originally, he was still thinking about how to have his men quickly obtain a factory for use in the concession.

His next plan in the concession would require a large factory building.

Now, Uncle Lin’s arrival has solved this problem for Ye Qingshan.

"That's great, Uncle Lin.

I need a larger factory.

We still need at least twenty more reliable workers."

Ye Qingshan expressed his needs.

“No problem, that’s easy.

We have several factories in the International Settlement, and now the Japanese are coming.

Many businesses cannot be operated anymore, and the master is preparing to sell these factories and warehouses to recover funds. "

"I'll find a safe and clean place and make room for the Second Young Master."

Uncle Lin agreed to Ye Qingshan’s request immediately.

He didn't even think of going back to ask his master for instructions.

In Uncle Lin's opinion, as the only male offspring of the master, Ye Qingshan will sooner or later inherit the Ye family's huge fortune.

This is nothing to ask for.

"Great."

Ye Qingshan didn't expect that the thing he was worrying about while eating before,

Now the problem is solved.

“Also, Uncle Lin.

I write a list and you have people buy what’s on the list.”

Ye Qingshan quickly tore off a piece of paper from his notebook and wrote down the names of all the raw materials, machines, and tools he had noted down.

Then give it to Uncle Lin.

“Okay, this is easy.

I asked Aping to buy it.

If you can’t buy it in Shanghai, then go to Hong Kong to buy it.”

Uncle Lin read the list written by Ye Qingshan, glanced at it twice, and then made a promise.

Ye Qingshan didn't expect that his family was so rich. They were not ordinary businessmen.

The business has spread to Hong Kong.

From previous information, Ye Qingshan only knew that his family was a wealthy merchant, but he had no idea how wealthy they were.

Now, I finally have some idea.

In this era, those who can expand their business to Shanghai and Hong Kong are definitely wealthy families.

"You must buy it within a week, okay?"

Ye Qingshan was very anxious for time, as he didn't know when he would leave the concession.

However, he knew that the Battle of Shanghai would be over in less than a month.

By then, he will definitely leave Shanghai, so he will have very little time to make plans in Shanghai.

He must seize every moment of the day.

"No problem, a week is enough time for our fleet on the Xiangjiang River to come over.

It will be done.”

Uncle Lin looked at Ye Qingshan's excitement and knew that these things were very important to him.

No matter how difficult it is, he must do it for the second young master.

“Okay, let Ah Ping come to me directly then.

No, after today's press conference.

I'll look for Uncle Lin and you guys."

Ye Qingshan decided to separate from Ning Yongchen after today's press conference and start his own plan in Shanghai.

"Lieutenant Colonel Ye, it's time for us to set off!"

"Okay, here I come!"

Ye Qingshan followed Special Envoy Chen and others and set off for the International Hotel.

"Dad, there are many materials and machines on the second young master's list that I have never heard of.

You definitely can’t buy it in Shanghai.

I can only go to Xiangjiang to have a look."

A Ping also wanted to help Ye Qingshan. After Ye Qingshan left, he looked at the list and said to Uncle Lin.

"Well, then go and send a telegram to the people in Hong Kong.

Tell them and give them two days.

I must buy everything the Second Young Master needs in Hong Kong.

Even if it costs more money, it doesn't matter.

Then, ship it here immediately.”

Uncle Lin nodded.

"it is good."

"Dad, the second young master has also seen it, why are you still crying?"

A Ping looked at his father with a strange expression and was very confused.

"Nothing, it's just that when I saw the Second Young Master again this time, I felt that he was different from before."

Ah Ping chuckled and said, "Dad, you haven't seen the Second Young Master for many years.

It's normal to be unfamiliar.

I have forgotten what the second young master looked like. I was only in middle school when he ran away from home.

But as soon as I saw him today, I recognized him as the second young master.

Even though the Second Young Master has become much darker and thinner."

"Too."

Uncle Lin also felt that what his son said made sense.

"Who would have thought that the hot-tempered boy who used to quarrel with his master every day would now grow up to be a hero.

Time flies by so fast!"

Uncle Lin sighed.

Ye Qingshan was also in a good mood on the way to the International Hotel.

This was the first time he came into contact with the Ye family in this time and space, and everything went smoothly.

The appearance of Uncle Lin also helped Ye Qingshan solve a very difficult problem.

Otherwise, Ye Qingshan’s plan in Shanghai would most likely fail.

Not long after, Ye Qingshan and his convoy entered the International Hotel, which had already been under martial law by the police.

"I hope the Japanese won't show up to cause trouble today."

Ye Qingshan said worriedly.

"rest assured.

This is the International Settlement, and we have the support of the Americans and the English, so the Japanese dare not go too far for now."

Ning Yongchen said confidently.

But Ye Qingshan didn't quite believe it.

On the National Army side, not to mention the top leaders, even young backbones like Ning Yongchen still had illusions about the great powers.

In fact, they had no idea that the great powers at that time were basically unable to take care of themselves.

The great powers were also afraid of the Japanese who had gone crazy.

However, Ning Yongchen was right about one thing.

In the International Settlement, it was because they had the Americans as their backers.

The Japanese are indeed more well-behaved now.

After all, compared with other powers, the Japanese are now more dependent on the Americans for various resources.

I don't want to offend the Americans now.

Soon, Ye Qingshan and his team's motorcade passed through layers of inspection by the police and arrived at the International Hotel,

Because this is a public concession, the National Army soldiers cannot enter, and security depends on these patrolmen.

And these policemen all listen to the Americans and the English.

It is also because of this that the concession at this time became the base camp for various agents.

"The envoy's car is here."

When the convoy arrived, many reporters gathered around.

But he was stopped by the police.

"Mr. Special Envoy, is the news that we captured a Japanese general true?"

"Is it a rumor? According to our understanding, the front-line troops of the Nationalist Army have been suffering from defeat."

"Please tell me about the hero who captured the Japanese general. He will also be attending the press conference this time."

Countless reporters asked frantically.

"Don't worry about it, let's go in first."

Ning Yongchen brought Ye Qingshan and quickly entered the International Hotel.

"Everyone, don't worry."

Special Envoy Chen raised his hand to suppress the question: “Wait until the press conference starts, then ask again.

At that time, you will be given the opportunity to ask.

Just be patient. "

After saying that, Special Envoy Chen entered the International Hotel.

At this time, when Ye Qingshan entered the hotel lobby, he saw that celebrities from all walks of life in Shanghai had gathered in the lobby.

There were domestic businessmen, gentry, politicians, journalists, and envoys from various countries.

After Special Envoy Chen came in, he went straight to meet the ministers of various countries and talked with them for a while.

Then the singing stopped and Special Envoy Chen came on stage.

The press conference has begun!

Reporters swarmed forward and began taking pictures.
