For enterprises to become bigger and stronger, they cannot do without financial and technical support. The federal governments and financial institutions at all levels in Southern Africa have done a very good job. The survival rate of enterprises is still very impressive. More than 90% of start-ups
It won't last three years.
Ninety percent of the companies that have successfully survived the first three years will go bankrupt within ten years. In the end, those who are left are the leaders in the industry and have stronger ability to resist risks. These are the key targets of support from the federal government and financial institutions.

"We are cooperating with Nyasaland University and other scientific research institutions to improve the level of cassava processing. For us, the biggest competitor is not from abroad, but from China -" Little Ade hesitated, but this topic
It's quite taboo.
The largest agricultural product company in southern Africa is the South African Company, and the strongest one is the Nyasaland Company. The bosses of these two companies, one Xiaosi and the other Roque, were both present at the scene.
"One or two powerful companies in an industry are enough. Any more would be a waste." Stoudemire didn't take it seriously. He knew about monopoly.
The situation now is much better than before. At the time of the Second Boer War, there were only a few reputable companies in southern Africa and they were seriously lacking in competitiveness.
During his tenure, Roque worked hard to change this situation and fully introduce competition, which gave small businesses room to survive.
If there are no restrictions on enterprises with industry monopoly such as South African companies, small and medium-sized enterprises will either go bankrupt or be merged, and there will be no chance of survival at all.
What Stoudemire said actually makes sense. Only when the scale is strong enough can we be qualified to fully participate in international competition.
It is not that small and medium-sized enterprises are not qualified to participate in international competition, but because they lack funds and technology and are not competitive enough, compared with large enterprises such as South African companies, they only have the advantage of low cost, so they engage in price wars, losing both sides.
.
Fortunately, there are industry associations that can protect prices.
Otherwise, even large companies such as South Africa Company and Nyasaland Company will not be able to withstand it.
Stoudemire also has complaints on this issue.
"If we don't give small and medium-sized enterprises enough opportunities, how can they grow into large enterprises?" Ade and Stoudemire have different opinions on this issue.
The key is that the positions are different.
Little Ade is the governor of North Tanganyika State. Everything must be based on reality and must be considered from the perspective of North Tanganyika State. No matter how strong the South African company is, it has little to do with North Tanganyika State.
Stoudemire just felt it. He has many companies under his name. The South African company is a behemoth to North Tanganyika State's agricultural enterprises, but to Stoudemire it is just a component of a huge financial empire.
And it’s still a not-so-important component.
"The market is only so big, and there is no room for a third South African company, or a Nyasaland company." Stoudemire was full of domineering. It is understandable that small and medium-sized enterprises want to drink soup, but they want to compete with South African companies and Nyasaland companies.
If you eat meat, you are overestimating your ability.
So the key is to make the market bigger.
The cassava industry is a microcosm of the southern African industry. As the world's industries are facing a transformation environment, there is a new round of waves. Enterprises that only rest on their laurels will be on the verge of extinction within a few months.
, no matter how much blood is transfused, it will be useless.
Strong companies will inevitably suffer losses in a short period of time, but in the long run it will still be beneficial. As long as they survive the economic crisis, they will only grow stronger and reborn in the future.
No need for Roark to remind him, Gavin is already prepared to face difficulties.
Before he became prime minister, Gavin had already taken charge of aid to Europe. Now he is even more familiar with it and regards aid to Europe as the engine of economic transformation in southern Africa.
Don’t worry if you don’t have money, financial institutions can provide loans.
It doesn’t matter if you don’t have technology, the federal government can help bridge the gap.
There is no need to worry about orders. After the world war, although war-related orders dropped sharply, orders from other aspects came one after another, flying to southern Africa like a snowflake.
Steel, cement, wood, all daily necessities closely related to food, clothing, housing and transportation, as well as luxury goods that were seriously under-demand due to economic reasons during the World War, were snapped up by European countries, as much as they wanted, and all payments were in rands.
.
Compared with the Roque era, southern Africa has been more moderate since Gavin became prime minister.
Compared with Roque's strong push for the rand, Gavin did not strictly require all foreign trade to be settled in rand.
This has a lot to do with the substantial increase in the international status of the rand.
So far, the rand is the only currency in the world that is linked to gold and has never been untied.
After the British gold standard system collapsed, it tried to use the gold nugget standard. After the outbreak of World War II, the gold nugget standard also collapsed, and the status of the international currency was in danger.
The U.S. dollar has a poor international reputation and is not in a good situation. Except for some countries that have good relations with the United States, no country chooses the U.S. dollar.
As for the franc, no one cares about it except for the French overseas colonies which still use the franc.
In the post-war era, the rand has become the only trustworthy currency among many currencies. Other countries have taken the initiative to choose the rand as their settlement currency without any request from the Southern African federal government.
Europeans are quite reserved. In Brazil, some members of Congress even proposed the full use of the rand and the abolition of the national currency.
Brazil's currency changes frequently and its depreciation rate is comparable to that of the mark. It is one of the most financially unstable countries in the world.
The rapid depreciation of the mark was due to the war. Because Brazil was far away from Europe, the war did not spread to the mainland. On the contrary, as a resource-exporting country, Brazil made huge profits during the war. In theory, the economic situation should be good and the currency should be stable.
No one expected that Brazil's resources would become more and more sold, but the country would become poorer and poorer. After the rich made money, they did not choose to repay society, but immigrated as soon as possible and transferred their wealth abroad.
Former President Vargas immigrated to Southern Africa after he stepped down. He currently lives in Los Angeles and receives protection from the Southern African federal government.
If you don't leave, you will definitely be liquidated if you stay in Brazil.
Carlos, who replaced Vargas as president, was also in bad shape.
Although no war broke out in Brazil itself, southern Africa sent an expeditionary force to Europe to participate in the war. At its peak, the total number of troops reached 200,000.
After the world war ended, Brazil was also facing major disarmament, but the Brazilian government failed to properly accommodate veterans who were about to retire, which aroused strong opposition from the military.
"Politicians only know how to make money. Rich people immigrate abroad one after another. Ordinary people have not shared the dividends of economic development. Soldiers have fought bloody battles in Europe for six years, and their retirement pension is only a pitiful 1,000 Cruzeiro. You may not know that...
For a thousand cruseiros, you can't even buy a loaf of bread in Brazil. This was the standard set by the federal government six years ago. At that time, it did not take into account the currency depreciation. The current government has no plans to change this standard." said the Secretary of the Army.
Dutra was the supreme commander of the Brazilian Expeditionary Force during the World War. He should be responsible for his men and for the country of Brazil.
Yes, Dutra has decided to carry out a coup and completely transform the Brazilian government.
Considering the influence of southern Africa on Brazil, Dutra first came to Pretoria to win Gavin's support before launching the coup.
Without the support of southern Africa, Dutra's coup would not have been successful.
"Then improve the implementation standards of retirement benefits -" Gavin was curious, where has the money earned by the Brazilian government gone over the years?
Brazil has never been poor. It has a vast territory and is rich in products. A large amount of timber and iron ore are exported to southern Africa. Not to say that it is extremely rich, at least it should not be like this now.
The Locke family has a large stake in Iron Square, which is mainly engaged in iron ore, and Minas Company, which is mainly engaged in lumber. Gavin is very clear about the operating conditions of these companies.
It is indeed these companies that make the majority of Brazil’s export resources.
However, these companies pay no less in taxes to the Brazilian government, and their shareholders receive generous dividends. Former Brazilian President Vargas and current President Carlos are both shareholders of these companies.
Dutra sighed, unable to explain why: "The wealth that Brazil possesses has never belonged to the country of Brazil."
This is indeed true.
Gavin had nothing to say because he didn't understand the thinking of those Brazilian officials.
Vargas relied on the support of Iron Four to overthrow the then Brazilian military government and become the president of Brazil.
After Vargas became president, the situation in Brazil did not improve. Politicians were still making money and wealthy people were still immigrating. Vargas wanted to change the status quo, but due to many obstacles, the policies in the end became minor repairs and he was unable to change.
sky.
However, Vargas still accumulated a considerable amount of wealth during his tenure as president, with a total amount of probably tens of millions of rands. In southern Africa, he is also an out-and-out rich man.
Now the situation is obvious.
Vargas made a fortune while serving as president, but he cannot prevent others from making a fortune.
So don't listen to Dutra's nice words now. When he launches a coup to overthrow the current Brazilian government, he may go further than Vargas and Carlos.
Gavin was also helpless.
After Carlos became the president of Brazil, the first country he visited was southern Africa. Roque was also optimistic that Carlos could bring some changes to Brazil after he became the president of Brazil.
Unexpectedly, looking at it now, it still looks like that ghost.
This is normal. Not all countries can change their fate like those in southern Africa.
In this world, things like Brazil are normal.
"What kind of changes can you bring to Brazil?" Gavin followed suit.
If Carlos can stabilize the situation in Brazil, Gavin will definitely be happy to see it happen, because it will also be beneficial to southern Africa. Southern Africa needs a stable Brazil to provide southern Africa with a steady stream of industrial raw materials.
The same goes for other countries.
As long as he can steadily provide raw materials to southern Africa, Roque doesn't actually care whether the person who rules those countries is the king or the president.
Roque didn't even mind the nature of the political party.
No matter how hypocritical the Monroe Doctrine is, the saying that America is America for Americans is essentially true.
"I will use a tough approach to transform Brazil. I will remove unqualified officials from their posts, hold those who should be held accountable, close those who should be imprisoned, and kill those who should be killed. I will strictly supervise the tax payment of wealthy people, especially the transfer of wealth.
Traveling abroad must be strictly prohibited, and some unreasonable clauses in contracts signed with foreign companies also need to be modified -" Dutra carefully observed Gavin's expression as he spoke.
Everything else doesn't matter. Contracts with foreign companies must involve Iron Square and Minas.
"Too explosive will cause harm to Brazil." Gavin reminded Dutra not to do anything he shouldn't do.
Gavin doesn't care, Tie Sijiao and Minas don't belong to Rock alone, so it's impossible for others to care.
It was because the military government coveted the profits of the Iron Four, which eventually led to the outbreak of civil war, and Vargas replaced the military government as the president of Brazil.
History is a helpless reincarnation. Everything begins and ends due to interests.
"A gentle approach will not wake people up, and it does not have enough deterrence. How can we make those with vested interests give up the fat in their mouths?" Dutra had obviously considered it, Vargas and Carlos'
Failure, as it has been proven, a moderate approach will not do anything for Brazil.
"You can try, but you can only control the war in Rio de Janeiro." Getulio, general manager of the Iron Four Corners Company who arrived in Pretoria with Dutra, did not follow Dutra in circles.
If the war is controlled in Rio, it won't have much impact on Brazil. For the Iron Four, it doesn't matter who wins or loses, Dutra or Carlos.
It's not that Getulio doesn't trust Dutra. Dutra is not alone. He is also surrounded by a group of people. Could it be that they can all keep themselves clean and not become the next Vargas or Carlos after taking up important positions?
?
This is the consequence of taking turns to be the banker. The right does not expire and becomes invalid. People who have never been exposed to power are more likely to be lost in power.
A very contradictory reality. If a rich man like Gavin becomes president, at least he will not excessively pursue wealth, because the wealth Gavin possesses has gone beyond the stage of paying any price for wealth.
To put it bluntly, once you have money to a certain extent, wealth is no longer the most attractive thing, but the value of life is.
Dutra is the Minister of Army of Brazil and the Commander-in-Chief of the Expeditionary Force. He has no shortage of power and status.
The same cannot be said for Dutra's people.
Brazil’s 200,000-strong expeditionary force has only one commander-in-chief. As long as Dutra himself doesn’t make too many mistakes, no one else will have the chance to serve as commander-in-chief.
Since there is no chance to chase the highest power, we can only chase what we can get. This is the terrible consequence of lack of faith.
Because they have nothing to pursue except money, and other things are simply not within their scope of consideration.
Gavin has ideals. He has been constantly instilled by people around him since he was a child, and he wants to lead southern Africa forward.
Although Roque has never made such a request, everything will take its course, and he cannot stop others from thinking like this.
