The investment Stoudemire mentioned is mainly in Germany. This is also to cooperate with London's strategic purpose to restore Germany's strength as quickly as possible and re-establish a check and balance on France.
This work is not only being carried out in the United Kingdom, but American capital is also actively looking for investment opportunities. After the war, Germany was in dire straits. German companies were in urgent need of external capital injections. The German government was also looking for capital help. Southern Africa and the United States had
The most powerful capital force in the world is fully capable of helping Germany quickly complete post-war reconstruction.
"While I was in Germany, I had an exchange with the leader of the Socialist Party, Mr. Friedrich Ebert. Mr. Ebert very much welcomed our southern African investment in Germany. You should have also had an exchange with Ms. Berta. How about it?
Do you want to take the opportunity to invest in Krupp? This is a good opportunity." Stoudemire took the high-end route, and all the people he came into contact with in Europe were celebrities.
Friedrich Ebert is the leader of the German Socialist Party, and the current Prime Minister of Germany is still Prince Marcos. However, Prince Marcos is in a bad situation because he has been unable to reach a "Peace Agreement" with the Allied Powers. Prince Marcos's status is in jeopardy.
Friedrich Ebert, the leader of the Socialist Party who is losing the trust of the German people, is very likely to replace Prince Marcos and become the current German Prime Minister.
As for Ms. Berta of Krupp, this is even more of a legendary woman. After the death of Alfred Krupp Sr., the real founder of the Krupp Empire, due to the lack of male heirs, Berta Krupp became Krupp.
The "Queen of Artillery" of Bertrand, the giant artillery that blasted the fortress of Liege during World War I was named after this woman.
In order to ensure the existence of Krupp, the then German Emperor Wilhelm II arranged for the diplomat Gustav to marry Ms. Berta, and allowed Gustav to add the noble surname Krupp to his surname.
This behavior is called "bringing into the family" in Chinese tradition, and is generally considered very dishonorable. However, it is normal in Europe, especially in European aristocratic circles. In order to ensure the continuation of the family, it is normal for the family to marry into the family.
Before the outbreak of the world war, Nyasaland Military Industrial Group had cooperated with many German companies, such as Krupp in the military industry, Carl Zeiss in the optical industry, Berlin Chemical in the chemical industry, etc.
After the end of the world war, many staff from southern Africa were sent to Germany and have been working in these companies. Compared with before the world war, the current Krupp is not as good as before. In just six months, more than 150 Krupp employees
Many scientific researchers immigrated to southern Africa and now work for the Nyasaland Military Industrial Group.
"Okay, how much is Ms. Berta's price?" If given the opportunity, Rock would not refuse to invest in Krupp. Although Krupp's current strength is not as strong as before, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Krupp is still a family.
A very promising company.
What's more, Roque is interested in more than just Krupp. Compared with companies such as Krupp and Carl Zeiss, Roque prefers Daimler-Mercedes, which is not yet large in scale but has great potential in the future.
There are unlimited new enterprises. As early as the end of the world war, Rock sent people all over the world to look for investment opportunities. Now Nyasaland Company is already the major shareholder of Dailem Mercedes, but Stoudemire has not yet
Just know it.
"You have to negotiate this yourself. As long as the price is right, you can buy shares." No matter what Roque and Ms. Berta talk about, Stoudemire has also invested in some companies in Europe during this time. However, compared with Roque, Stoudemire
Investments are relatively conservative, basically large companies such as Anglo-American Petroleum and French Renault that have already formed a large scale.
French Renault can be regarded as the third largest automobile company in the world. The first two are Ford of the United States and Nyasaland Automobile Group. The reason why Ford of the United States ranks first is because Ford’s production is high enough, and Nyasaland Automobile Group
Although the group's output is not low and its product lines are richer, the market in southern Africa is too small after all, and the European market is not fully developed, so the scale of Nyasaland Automobile Group is not as large as that of Ford in the United States.
In terms of automobiles, Ford is indeed very powerful. The unit price of the Model T cars produced by Ford has been reduced to about 300 US dollars. If converted into pounds according to the ratio before the outbreak of the world war, 300 US dollars is equivalent to a little more than 65 pounds.
65 pounds a car!
At this price, Nyasaland Automobile Group really cannot compete. The cheapest car from Nyasaland Automobile Group costs 150 pounds. In terms of appearance and performance, the cars produced by Nyasaland are indeed better than Model T cars.
A little, but not nearly twice as good.
As for Renault, this company has also been involved in the automobile industry a long time ago. As early as 1898, Louis Renault, who was only 21 years old, founded Renault in Biangou, a suburb of Paris. At that time, Renault had only 6 workers and one
Only 6 cars could be produced per year, but Louis Renault gave full play to his mechanical talents during the entrepreneurial process and invented the direct transmission system and the turbocharger.
After that, Renault became famous after winning successive automobile competitions such as Paris-Berlin in 1900. The company began to develop rapidly. In 1907, there were taxis produced by Renault on the streets of London and New York. After the outbreak of the world war, Renault had formed
into mass production.
Most of the 6,000 taxis organized by Gallieni during the First Battle of the Marne were made by Renault.
Compared with Renault, Anglo-American Petroleum can be regarded as a desperate situation.
Before the World War, Anglo-American Petroleum was unable to survive in the Persian Gulf under the strong pressure of the Adam Company, and the entire company was on the verge of collapse.
After the end of the world war, Anglo-American Petroleum was surprised to find that the oil fields in Romania were in an extremely rare blank area due to the defeat of the German army. So Anglo-American Petroleum took advantage of the void and obtained the mining rights to the oil fields in Romania.
Stoudemire's capital injection played a key role in enabling Anglo-American Petroleum to acquire Romanian oil fields, so Adam Company did not interfere with it. If Anglo-American Petroleum could join forces with Adam Company, it would be more conducive to controlling European oil prices.
Roque did not reject this form of cooperation.
"Have you had a chat with Friedrich Ebert about investing in infrastructure in Germany?" The investment Rock wanted was far more in-depth and more effective than the investment designed by Stoudemire.
"Of course there is, but it's very difficult. You know, it's not easy to get people to accept toll roads. Our roads in southern Africa are also free of charge." Stoudemire didn't understand why Rock insisted on doing this. Railway tolls can be
I understand, there are also tolls on highways
He is indeed a master of making money!
"Our roads in southern Africa do not charge tolls because our roads are low-cost. Without the hard work of those African workers, if we in southern Africa want to build a road network of the current scale, it will take at least 20 years before we can provide Africa with
If workers receive an annual salary of ten pounds, they cannot also give German workers an annual salary of ten pounds. Therefore, after the highway is completed, how to recover the cost is a big problem." Roque's main consideration is the cost issue. In this regard, Roque also wants to thank the contributions of Africans, so
Roque strongly disapproved of the previous behavior of the Southern African federal government that wanted to earn profits without giving appropriate returns to Africans.
To put it bluntly, since you don’t want to treat people as human beings, just send the Africans away. Otherwise, it will leave a lot of problems in the future. The British are really cheating, not only cheating their allies, but ruthlessly
He even cheats his own people.
"Yes, how to recover the cost is a big problem. In Europe now, the "Peace Agreement" cannot bring real peace at all. At most, it is a twenty-year armistice. If we want to invest in Germany's infrastructure, can we do it within the twenty-year period?
Recover the cost within the year?" Stoudemire expressed concern about the prospects of Europe. This is not nonsense. Now more and more people are clearly aware of this.
This also prompted more people with a long-term vision to immigrate to southern Africa. After experiencing the world war, people truly realized the destructive power of the world war. No one wanted their descendants to experience it again.
"It doesn't matter if we can't. If World War II breaks out, we can still defeat the Germans. Then the Germans will understand the principle of fearing power and embracing morality." Rock is full of confidence. In other words, fearing power and embracing morality means
Beat a stick and give me a sweet date, so that you will think of me well and at the same time be afraid of me. Only in this way can you usher in true peace.
Although today's Germany has fully realized the destructive power of the world war, it has not yet truly surrendered. The more than one million prisoners in the prisoner-of-war camps previously hated the mistakes of politicians in the rear, which led to the defeat of the troops in the frontline operations, and now they are hostile to the U.S. military.
If they are dissatisfied with the harsh management, they will definitely still feel resentful after being released, so they will still be beaten twenty years later.
Most of the current prisoners of war are young people around the age of 20. The older veterans have been exhausted in more than four years of combat. Twenty years from now, they will only be 40 years old and will still have the opportunity to take up arms.
Go to the battlefield.
For the same reason, Luo Ke is not yet forty now. Twenty years from now, Luo Ke will not be too old to be able to walk. By then, Luo Ke will still be honest, but he will still be able to make a living.
"It's very difficult. Look at the French people now. I dare say that in 20 years, France will not even be able to find soldiers willing to fight. By then, will the British Empire alone be able to contend with Germany?" Stoudemire still says now.
He expressed doubts about the strength of the British Empire. During the World War, if the Russian Empire had not held back millions of German troops on the Eastern Front, the British and French allied forces on the Western Front would not have been able to support the United States' entry into the war.
"There is still our southern Africa, don't worry." Before this world war, Roque did not have a clear understanding of the strength of southern Africa. Now there is no problem. Human resources is the last shortcoming of southern Africa. As long as it is made up for
With this shortcoming, Rock has the confidence to face any situation.
ps: Akali, don’t quarrel with me. If you have any demands, you can discuss it. Tiao Piao is innocent.
