Great Power Reclamation

Chapter 2842: Brothers and sisters work together to defeat gold

However, there are many things that are beyond his control, such as the fate of his children, which no parent can truly control.

Ever since these two girls ran away to the Kingdom of Solo to become pirates who fought for justice, their fates have been inseparable from this land.

Actually, not only Yang Geyong was surprised, but even Ye Yuze himself was surprised.

He originally thought his eldest daughter was the most well-behaved, sensible, obedient, and timid.

The second daughter, Ye Mei, was never easy to manage. She had been causing trouble since she was a child, and her older sister, Ye Rou, was like her little follower.

And what happened? When it comes to important matters, Ye Mei has now become a follower.

However, Ye Yuze knew that the two sisters were on the right path. The strength of a country ultimately depends on the range of its cannons.

So he helped them out, for example, by having them retrieve some drone rockets from the desert. That's how we got to where we are today.

It is believed that in the days to come, no African country will dare to challenge them.

If they develop quietly for decades, they will no longer fear any challenge from anyone. If their successors produce a few more like Yang San, then it will be others who suffer.

Although his two daughters were not good at fighting, they were both good at managing the economy.

After absorbing the newly merged territories and reforming the bureaucracy, the country is developing at an incredible speed.

Marseille is naturally faster, after all, it was established decades earlier than Somalia and has received aid from military settlements, so it is already among the developed countries in Africa.

As for Suo Guo, he still has a long way to go, but with Ye Rou by his side, how could he possibly watch his sister suffer?

It can be said that Marseille is now using all its national resources to help the Sorbonne.

After the founding of the Kingdom of Solomon, pirates were eliminated along the entire coast, allowing maritime trade to flourish once again.

This is what countries around the world hope to see, so they don't mind spending some money to help this poor country.

Sure enough, Ye Yuze's farm is currently shipping large quantities of grain and oilseeds to the Kingdom of Solo, all free of charge.

In the morning, Ye Yuze was scolded by his daughter Ye Mei for not covering the shipping costs.

Ye Yuze was so angry that he threatened not to help, which made Ye Mei playfully whine and act coquettish for a long time before she finally calmed down.

In the early morning at the port of Somalia, the roar of cranes and the sound of waves crashing together create a bustling symphony.

Dozens of cargo ships flying the flag of Marseille were lined up neatly, their hatches slowly opening, and containers loaded with building materials, machinery and equipment and medical supplies were unloaded in an orderly manner.

At the port, workers wearing straw hats were busily carrying grain delivered by Ye Yuze's farm. The golden wheat grains shimmered in the sunlight, as if foreshadowing the hope of a bountiful harvest for the country.

In the port command center, Ye Mei was staring at the logistics data on the electronic screen, her slender fingers constantly swiping across the tablet.

Beside her, several economic advisors from Marseille sat together, intensely discussing the distribution plan for supplies.

“Your Majesty, this batch of building materials should be sent to the capital, Sora, where infrastructure construction is urgently needed.”

"It was said by a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses."

Ye Mei frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then replied:

"No, send them to the emerging industrial zones along the coast first. The reconstruction of Sora is important, but only by establishing an industrial base as soon as possible can we truly achieve sustainable economic development."

At this moment, Ye Rou hurriedly walked into the command center, followed by several government officials from the Solomon Islands.

“Sister, an international aid organization just sent a message that they are willing to provide you with a low-interest loan, but on the condition that we submit a detailed economic development plan within three months.”

Ye Rou handed the document to Ye Mei, a hint of anxiety in her eyes.

Ye Mei took the document, a confident smile playing on her lips:

"Perfect timing, I was just about to discuss this issue with everyone. Although the Kingdom of Solomon is poor and backward, we have two major advantages—abundant marine resources and undeveloped land."

She walked to the huge map and pointed to the coastal area with a red laser pointer:

"First, we must vigorously develop the marine economy. The Solomon Islands has thousands of kilometers of coastline and extremely rich fishery resources. We can build a modern fishing fleet and at the same time develop the deep processing industry of seafood. I have already contacted fishery experts in Marseille, who will arrive next week to help us develop a detailed development plan."

Then, the laser pointer was turned towards the vast inland deserts and grasslands:

"Secondly, we can utilize the abundant sunshine in the desert to develop photovoltaic power generation, while large-scale ranches can be established on the grassland."

"We can cooperate with Warrior New Energy to build solar power plants, which will not only meet domestic demand but also export surplus electricity to neighboring countries."

"In the livestock sector, we have introduced advanced breeding technologies to produce high-quality meat and dairy products, which are then sold worldwide through Marseille's trade channels."

A young official raised the question: "But Your Majesty, developing these industries requires a great deal of capital and technology. How do we solve this problem?"

Ye Mei confidently replied, "This is where we need to cooperate with international aid organizations. We can exchange resource development rights for their investment and technical support. At the same time, we can encourage foreign companies to set up factories in Somalia, providing them with tax incentives and policy support."

Under Ye Mei's impetus, the country of Solo quickly established an Economic Development Committee, with her personally serving as its chairperson.

The committee has several specialized working groups, each responsible for tasks such as investment promotion, infrastructure construction, and industrial planning.

Ye Mei is extremely busy every day, either negotiating with foreign businessmen or visiting various project sites.

One day, Ye Mei arrived at a fishing village on the coast. The fishermen here were still using traditional small wooden boats, which resulted in extremely low fishing efficiency.

Upon seeing Ye Mei's arrival, an old fisherman said excitedly:
"Your Majesty, we also want to upgrade to a larger ship, but we don't have the money!"

Ye Mei held the old fisherman's rough hand and said firmly:

"Don't worry, the government will help you. We have already negotiated with banks to provide fishermen with low-interest loans to buy new fishing boats."

"At the same time, we will also establish a fishery cooperative to sell your catch in a unified manner, ensuring that everyone can get a good price."

Thanks to Ye Mei's efforts, the economic development plan of the Sogdian Kingdom has gradually been implemented.

Modern fish processing plants are springing up along the elevation, where workers skillfully process and package the fish and shrimp they catch.

Solar power plants with photovoltaic panels are neatly arranged in the desert, converting sunlight into a continuous stream of electricity; in large ranches, high-quality cattle and sheep graze leisurely on the vast grasslands.

To promote trade development, Ye Mei also carried out a large-scale renovation of the ports of Sog.

She drew on Marseille's experience and introduced an advanced port management system to improve cargo handling efficiency.

At the same time, it has opened multiple international shipping routes and established trade links with major ports in Europe and Asia.

The Solomon Islands began exporting its seafood, livestock products, and electricity to all parts of the world, while imports of industrial equipment and daily necessities greatly enriched the domestic market.

However, the road to development is not always smooth.

During the investment promotion process, an international mining company proposed to develop the rare metal resources of the Solomon Islands, but on the condition that it would exempt most taxes upon obtaining mining rights. This demand sparked widespread controversy in the country, with some officials seeing it as a rare development opportunity, while others worried that it would harm national interests.

Ye Mei organized a public debate, inviting government officials, experts, scholars, and ordinary citizens to participate.

At the meeting, she calmly analyzed: "We cannot sacrifice long-term development for short-term gains. Rare metals are a country's strategic resources. If they are overexploited, we will be at the mercy of others in the future. We can cooperate with mining companies, but we must adhere to the principles of state ownership of resources, rational development, and shared benefits."

Ultimately, Somalia reached a fairer and more reasonable cooperation agreement with the company, which secured development funds while protecting national resources.

With rapid economic development, the urban landscape of Somalia has also undergone tremendous changes.

In the capital city of Sora, skyscrapers are springing up like mushrooms after rain.

The dilapidated slums have been replaced by modern residential communities; public facilities such as schools and hospitals are also becoming increasingly complete.

Behind all of this is the hard work of Ye Mei and countless other people from the Sogdian people.

One evening, Ye Mei stood under the port lighthouse, looking at the brightly lit industrial area and the cargo ships coming and going in the distance, her heart filled with pride.

At this moment, Ye Rou quietly walked to her side and gently put her arm around her shoulder:

"Little sister, you are truly remarkable. The country of Sog is where it is today thanks in no small part to you."

Ye Mei smiled and shook her head: "Sister, this is not my achievement alone, but the result of everyone's joint efforts. Moreover, our journey has only just begun."

As night fell, the sky over the Kingdom of So was dotted with stars. Ye Mei knew that countless challenges awaited them on this land full of hope, but she firmly believed that as long as she was with her sister and the people of the Kingdom of So, there was no difficulty that could not be overcome.

In the future, under the leadership of the two sisters, Somalia will surely become a shining pearl on the African continent.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng, far away in the United States, is facing an unprecedented crisis.

Most American conglomerates have already set their sights on him, and the development of Brothers and Warrior Group has begun to face difficulties.

Meanwhile, the influence of the fourth brother and Susie in Congress is shrinking at an incredible rate.

With all the major forces united, this power is something Ye Feng and his group simply cannot contend with.

Now it seems that both the Democratic and Republican parties are joining forces to encircle and suppress Ye Feng and then completely eliminate him.

How can this impasse be broken? Ye Feng has yet to come up with a complete solution.

In the dead of night in New York, Ye Feng stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of his top-floor office, overlooking the neon-lit Manhattan.

The phone screen suddenly lit up; it was a video call request from Ye Mei. In the video, the sunlight of Somalia shone on Ye Mei, and behind her was a solar power plant under construction.

"Brother, I heard you've run into some trouble?" Ye Mei asked directly.

Ye Feng smiled wryly: "The news spreads really fast. Now almost the entire American business and political world is targeting me. I need a way to turn the tide."

Ye Mei pondered for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up:
"Brother, do you remember the rare earth resources in Somalia? We rejected that mining company's unreasonable demands before, but that doesn't mean we can't use these resources for our own purposes."

"you mean?"

“That’s right!” Ye Mei said excitedly. “The world is currently vying for rare earth resources, and Somalia possesses vast untapped reserves. We can leverage this, combining Somalia’s resource advantages with your business network in the United States.”

Ye Feng immediately understood his sister's thinking: "You mean, by developing the rare earth resources of Somalia, we can attract the attention of international capital and break the blockade imposed by American financial groups?"

“Not only that!” Ye Mei added, “We can establish an international rare earth trading center in Somalia, allowing companies from various countries to directly participate in investment and trade.”

"In this way, we can solve the development funding problem of Somalia and bring you new business opportunities."

"Furthermore, this also serves as a check on the US government—they can't openly prevent American companies from participating in international resource development, can they?"

Ye Feng began to seriously consider the feasibility of this plan. Indeed, in recent years, with the development of new energy and high-tech industries, the strategic importance of rare earth resources has become increasingly significant.

If a stable rare earth supply channel can be secured, it will not only break the current predicament but also open up a completely new business landscape.

"However, developing rare earth elements requires a great deal of technology and capital, and Somalia's current infrastructure..."

"This is where we need to cooperate!"

Ye Mei interrupted, "Marseille can provide technical support, while you can be responsible for attracting international capital. We can also unite Chinese and European companies to form a transnational cooperative alliance."

This approach both diversifies risk and gains broader support.

Ye Feng's gaze gradually hardened. This plan could not only resolve his current crisis but also open up new growth opportunities for the entire family's business empire.

More importantly, this will be a win-win situation: Somalia will develop, international companies will gain resources, and he will be able to regain his footing.

"Okay, let's do it that way!"

Ye Feng said, "I'll immediately start contacting potential partners; you prepare the relevant legal documents and cooperation agreements."

"Don't worry, brother!" Ye Mei laughed. "Soviet Union is ready. Oh, and I've thought of another way to further solidify our position."

Over the next few weeks, Ye Feng engaged in intensive negotiations in New York.

He visited investment bankers on Wall Street, spoke with European industrial giants by phone, and even secretly flew to Beijing to reach preliminary cooperation agreements with Chinese rare earth companies.

Meanwhile, in Somalia, Ye Mei was also busy. She personally participated in the drafting of the "Rare Earth Resource Development and Management Law" to ensure that resource development could both promote economic development and protect national interests.

A month later, a grand international conference was held in Sola, the capital of Solomon Islands.

Business representatives and government officials from more than 20 countries around the world gathered to witness the launch of the rare earth resource development project in Somalia.

Ye Feng, representing the main investors, delivered a speech:
"Today, we are not only developing resources, but also establishing a brand-new model of international cooperation."

"Through transnational cooperation, we can achieve resource sharing and technological complementarity, ultimately reaching the goal of common development."

This collaboration has attracted widespread attention from global media. The US government's original plan to suppress Ye Feng was forced to be temporarily shelved under intense international pressure.

Meanwhile, Ye Feng's brother company and Warrior Group also took this opportunity to expand into new business areas and successfully resolve the crisis.

In this game of crisis and opportunity, the Ye siblings once again proved their wisdom and courage.

Through transoceanic collaboration, they not only saved their family business but also paved a new path for the development of Somalia.

As Ye Mei said to Ye Feng after the meeting, "Our Ye family has never fought alone."

Night fell again, but the port of Somalia remained brightly lit.

Standing beneath the lighthouse, Ye Mei gazed at the cargo ships loading and unloading rare earth materials in the distance, her heart filled with emotion. This was just the beginning.

In the future, there will be more challenges and opportunities waiting for them, but she firmly believes that as long as the family works together, there is no difficulty that cannot be overcome.

Here come the votes!
