651 Roundtable
"I underestimated Joseph."
Old Taylor looked at the people from the major financial families and celebrities from all walks of life in the manor with an unfriendly look.
“Father, the Joseph family has risen too fast and too suddenly in the past two years.
Simply incredible.
I heard that it was all related to that Chinese guy, and Joseph even wanted him to marry into his wife's family.
The penicillin factory was built by this person.
Moreover, this person is a general and is said to have a good relationship with General Stilwell and General Charles. "
Little Taylor was standing nearby, continuing to talk to Old Taylor.
The rapid rise of Tsingshan Group in just two years naturally attracted the attention of these conglomerate families.
Secretly, it was not only the Taylor family who investigated Ye Qingshan's identity.
Ye Qingshan’s information is not a secret.
Anyway, they could never imagine what Ye Qingshan’s real advantage was.
However, the outside world only thought that Ye Qingshan had married into Joseph's family.
The white financial groups in the United States still believe that the Joseph family is in control and that Ye Qingshan is just lucky.
"I know all this, tell me something useful."
Old Taylor said impatiently.
Little Taylor stopped talking immediately because he didn't find any other valuable information.
“Joseph is hosting this party today and he invited us to come.
It is just to show off his muscles to us and use our mouths to demonstrate to the Carnegie family.
It seems that Anthony must be supported by the Joseph family. "
“It’s ridiculous that they actually want to challenge the Carnegie family’s position in the steel market.
This time, the Anthony family will be completely defeated."
Old Taylor said confidently.
Soon, representatives from other consortium families in the manor came over and greeted old Taylor.
Old Taylor was also a prominent figure in California back then.
There are still many people who want to establish a relationship with the Taylor family.
Later, when the party started, Joseph went over and said a few words, and then they started drinking, dancing and singing.
Ye Qingshan and Alice disappeared.
Ye Qingshan didn't like this kind of noisy scene.
His goal has been achieved, and the subsequent dancing and other segments will be handled by some stars and singers.
Joseph and Ye Dakang are dealing with those heavyweight guests.
We were busy until about twelve o'clock in the evening, and the party ended.
All the guests left, but people from business allied families such as Anthony and Peter stayed on their own accord.
did not leave.
"Let's go to the conference room and talk."
After the two sides met, Ye Qingshan saw Anthony who was hesitant to speak.
I knew it was time to have a good meeting with my allies in the consortium families.
Soon, a tall round table was placed in the center of a spacious room in the manor.
At this moment, a large group of people were sitting around the round table.
Representatives from nineteen consortium families took their seats one by one.
Ye Qingshan looked over and saw that most of them were white.
They are Anthony, Pitt, Buck, McCarthy and other 16 people, from consortium families in eight states in the Midwestern United States.
Among them, the largest number of consortium families come from California.
These conglomerate families are well-known in every state.
Now, because of the appearance of Ye Qingshan, they have united together for the sake of their own interests.
In the entire room, apart from Ye Qingshan, there were only three yellow people.
One is Lin Xiangyang’s son, who represents the Nanyang Group.
The other one is named Wang, and he represents the Chinese business community in California.
The last one is from the Hongmen, and he represents the gang forces headed by the Hongmen.
Ever since the Tsingshan Group rose strongly in California, the Chinese businessmen living here seem to have found their backbone.
They all joined the Qingshan Group.
Even groups like the Hongmen are no exception.
Ye Qingshan sighed in his heart as the embryonic consortium alliance formed around his own group.
The strength of the white consortium family is still too strong.
There are too few yellow race conglomerate families like the Lin family.
But there's nothing we can do about it.
Compared with the United States, there are many conglomerate families that have been formed.
There are only a few families like the Lin family in the entire Nanyang.
But in fact, strictly speaking, the Lin family cannot be considered a conglomerate family because their wealth does not reach that level.
Compared with white financial groups such as Anthony and Pete, the Lin family's foundation is still a little weak.
On the contrary, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce is formed by businessmen from California's Chinatown who came to the United States early on to work hard.
The wealth is barely comparable to the size of a white consortium family here.
However, this is the result of many Chinese businessmen joining together, and the situation of a single family is similar to that of the Lin family.
Wealth is still a little lacking.
As for the Hongmen, they are even poorer and it is impossible for them to compare with the wealth of a white consortium family.
But Ye Qingshan still absorbed them and brought them into his inner circle of allies.
Ye Qingshan knew that he had to put more yellow faces in the room in the future.
“Everyone is a business partner, and some have met me.
Some of you are meeting me for the first time today.
It doesn't matter.
I have brought us together today to discuss business.”
Ye Qingshan went straight to the point.
“Then let’s take it one by one.
Let’s first talk about the competition between our West Coast Steel Alliance and U.S. Steel, which is dominated by the Carnegie family.
Anthony, tell me about your negotiations with the Carnegie family, how are they going?"
Ye Qingshan was ready to solve this matter first and looked at Anthony.
Anthony was very pleased when he heard that Ye Qingshan mentioned the competition between them and US Steel as the first thing.
But when he thought of the previous negotiations with the Carnegie family, his face turned cold again.
“Our negotiations with the Carnegie family simply couldn’t proceed.
The price they offered was really too much.
They actually want to annex us.
After being rejected by me.
They also asked us to hand over new steelmaking technology and divide the market.
I can't agree to only giving us one-fifth of the market share.
If I agree, our West Coast Steel Alliance will at best be a vassal of US Steel in the future.
Eat the leftovers from their mouths.
I would rather fight to the end than do that.”
As soon as Anthony finished speaking, everyone started talking.
Among the 19 consortium families present, not all of them participated in the formation of the West Coast Steel Alliance.
Apart from Ye Qingshan, there are only seven consortium families including Anthony and Buck.
Therefore, other consortium families knew that this matter had little to do with them.
Did not participate in the speech.
“Anthony is right, we cannot agree to the Carnegie family’s conditions.
But our steel company also had big problems with its funding.
If we continue to compete with the Carnegie family in business.
We need more money, but even then the odds are still low."
