Like the Kingdom of Congo and the Republic of Congo, as a victor in the world war, the Kingdom of Mozambique finally achieved independent status at the Paris Peace Conference and officially separated from Portugal in legal terms.
This means that no matter how the Kingdom of Mozambique develops in the future, it will have nothing to do with the previous suzerain country. This is very easy to operate. With the referendum frequently mentioned during the Paris Peace Conference, colonialism has taken on new forms and
The carrier begins to enter a new stage.
The Kingdom of Mozambique is rich in forestry resources, as well as rich mineral resources. The kingdom’s coal reserves exceed 32 billion tons, more than 6 million tons of titanium, tantalum reserves rank first in the world, about 7.5 million tons, and natural gas reserves of 55,000 tons.
billion cubic meters, most of the mineral deposits have not yet been mined.
The main reason is that the technology is not mature enough, such as titanium. Although this element was discovered by the English amateur mineralogist Gregor in 1791, it was not until 1910 that the American chemist Hunter used sodium to reduce ticl4 for the first time to obtain a purity of
99.9% titanium metal.
It is worth mentioning that Gregor is a priest.
The same is true for tantalum. Although tantalum was discovered in the early 19th century, the metal was not extracted until 1903 and is not yet in industrial production.
The role of titanium and tantalum is very important, especially for the military industry.
When the Securities and Exchange Commission was reviewing Binga Forestry's qualifications for listing, Alva Noel, general manager of Binga Forestry, was visiting Christian at his home, hoping that Christian could provide help for Binga Forestry's listing.
"Binga Forestry meets all the requirements of the stock exchange. Last year our profit reached R250,000. This year we are preparing to develop mineral resources. We have enough human resources, but we do not have the technology and capital, so we need to be listed on the stock exchange.
"Listed." Alva Noel is full of hope. Binga Forestry has mainly transported timber to southern Africa through Christian in recent years.
The Kingdom of Mozambique is also the largest source of cheap labor in southern Africa. Through Christian Human Resources Company, nearly 100,000 people in the Kingdom of Mozambique work in southern Africa all year round.
"Do you have a profit of 250,000 rand? If it is true, then you can develop mineral resources without raising resources, right?" Christian did not believe the data provided by Alva Noel. Exploiting mineral resources is really
It doesn't cost much, the main cost is labor cost.
“Mining” here does not include refining after mining.
Countries and regions surrounding Southern Africa basically do not have the ability to refine ore. Including Madagascar and Portuguese West Africa, they also sell ore to companies in Southern Africa for smelting, although those smelting plants are all built locally.
, but it is not managed by the local colonial government.
There are three major mineral resource companies in southern Africa, namely Favalte Steel, Johannesburg Mining Alliance, and Haut-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd.
Among them, Favalte mainly produces steel, Johannesburg Mining Alliance mainly produces gold, and Haut-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. mainly produces copper and aluminum.
"Mr. Christian, you know the situation in the Kingdom of Mozambique. Although the profit of Binga Forestry is indeed 250,000 rand, our costs are too high. In the end, we can only make no loss but no profit. The Kingdom of Mozambique is not Niassa."
"Lan." Alva Noel said with a bitter face, compared with Nyasaland, the business environment in the Kingdom of Mozambique is indeed a bit bad.
The Kingdom of Mozambique is the first country in Africa to gain independence from its sovereign state, excluding Ethiopia, which has not been conquered by colonial countries so far.
Zhazha has proven with facts that Africans who do not receive a good education do not have the ability to manage a country independently.
The establishment of the Kingdom of Mozambique is closely related to the support of Nyasaland. Binga Forestry mainly relies on exporting timber to southern Africa to make profits. Pricing power is in the hands of enterprises in southern Africa, so profits will naturally not be too high.
The dignitaries of the Kingdom of Mozambique are indeed quite speechless. When Zhazha was alive, all the daily utensils in the palace were made of gold, including the bed.
"Come on, if Binga Forestry was in Nyasaland, you wouldn't make any profit at all." Christian didn't believe Alva Noel's lies. Binga Forestry's status in the Kingdom of Mozambique is the same as that of the South African company.
Rhodesia is almost the same, controlling almost every aspect of the Kingdom of Mozambique. Can such a company make neither a loss nor a profit?
If it is true, it only proves that there is something wrong with Alva Noel's ability.
"Mr. Christian, please help me. If Binga Forestry mines mineral resources, it will definitely be sold to Nyasaland. This will benefit us all." Alva Noel doesn't blush. The company doesn't make money, so naturally it won't.
Taxes are generated, which will not affect the salaries and shares of Alva Noel and other managers.
"We?" Christian is good at grasping the key points.
"Of course -" Alva Noel opened the briefcase he carried with him, took out a share confirmation, put it on the table and pushed it to Christian.
That's right, only when there are benefits can you be motivated.
Roque ignored Christian's small actions, and the stock exchange mobilized the whole body. The idle funds of society were effectively used, and enterprises obtained funds to expand reproduction. The federal government also made demands, hoping to issue 50 million rand of national bonds to be used to build Victoria.
Public transportation facilities in the state and the state of Dias.
During the German colonial period in Victoria and Dias, the main mode of transportation in Victoria and Dias was railway. Although there were roads, they were not even paved with asphalt, and the traffic conditions were very poor.
In southern Africa now, the three northern states have the most developed transportation——
Now it should be the three central states. The transportation of these three states is the most developed in the Transvaal. Before, the first high-grade road in southern Africa that was completely paved with asphalt was built between Pretoria and Johannesburg. Now the Transvaal
Roads in Vanuatu have extended in all directions, connecting Bloemfontein to the south and extending to Salisbury, the capital of Rhodesia, to the north.
Relatively speaking, there is not even a single asphalt road in Victoria and Dias states. This is a problem that the federal government urgently needs to solve.
Not only roads, but also railways. Before the establishment of the Southern African Federal Government, all railways in Southern Africa were single-track railways. Now the transformation of these railways is also in progress. Nyasaland has taken the lead in converting all railways in its territory.
The Rhodesia and Transvaal railway is being transformed into a double-track railway. The federal government hopes to increase investment in public construction so that the federal government can continue to benefit from subsequent operations.
In the past, public facilities in southern Africa were all handled by private individuals, with the federal government and local governments basically not involved.
For example, all the railways in Rhodesia were built by South African companies. In this way, the subsequent profits generated by the railways have nothing to do with the federal and state governments, and are all exclusive to the South African companies.
To put it bluntly, if a war breaks out and the South African Company refuses the federal government to use the railways in Rhodesia, then the federal government will not even have the right to compulsorily expropriate the railways in Rhodesia.
Stoudemire will definitely not do this now, but in the future, he may not be afraid of ten thousand, but be afraid of the worst.
Before the establishment of the stock exchange, the federal government's sale of treasury bonds was all undertaken by the Rand Bank. The Rand Bank did not need to find foreign capital and absorbed it directly within Southern Africa.
Now that there is a stock exchange, treasury bonds can be sold on the stock exchange. Although the profit of treasury bonds is not as high as that of stocks, treasury bonds are more stable and can guarantee returns during droughts and floods. There are many people willing to buy treasury bonds.
Take Rand Bank, for example. In the past, when the federal government issued treasury bonds, it would sell them as much as they could. If they couldn't, Rand Bank would cover them all. That's why Rand Bank has its current status.
"The popularity of the Los Angeles Stock Exchange has stimulated many people. I heard that Cape Town is also preparing for a stock exchange. Do you have any ideas?" Henry is not interested in Cape Town. Cape Town is the judicial capital of southern Africa. Henry
This Minister of Justice spends less than half of the year in Cape Town.
When the federal government was established, in order to balance the interests of all parties, it strangely identified three capitals, namely Pretoria, Cape Town and Bloemfontein, which is probably the only one in the world.
Now it seems that the shortcomings of the three capitals are becoming more and more obvious. In the past few years, some people proposed to cancel the status of Cape Town and Bloemfontein as capitals, and to bring the judiciary and legislation back to Pretoria. However, Cape Town and Bloemfontein were rejected.
and strong opposition from Orange.
Nowadays, the economic center of southern Africa has been moving northward, first to Cape Town, then to Johannesburg, and now to Los Angeles. Cape Town's status is constantly declining.
Cape Town is definitely dissatisfied with this, but there is nothing to be done about it. Even Durban, which has been marginalized, has not spoken. Cape Town is still the capital after all and has no qualifications to raise opinions.
The tragedy in Durban is entirely caused by Nyasaland.
When the federal government was established, Durban was also eligible to compete for the capital. However, due to its relatively remote location, Durban ultimately failed in the competition and Bloemfontein became the legislative capital of Southern Africa.
However, Durban did not gain nothing. At that time, Durban was the largest port in Southern Africa outside of Cape Town, so Durban obtained the import and export qualification. Although it did not receive a status, it gained actual benefits.
Unfortunately, with the rise of Port Edward and Walvis Bay, not to mention Durban, even Cape Town's status is declining. Durban's import and export trade rights have basically been taken away by Port Edward and Walvis Bay. In southern Africa,
Completely marginalized.
"It doesn't matter, the stock exchange can be opened anywhere, but the stocks must be able to be sold." Roque is not afraid of competition. If you feel confident, you can try it in Cape Town.
