The South African Company in another time and space lost administrative power over Nyasaland in 1904; in 1923 and 1924, it lost administrative power over Northern and Southern Rhodesia, retaining only commercial monopoly rights. By 1965, South Africa
The company ceases to exist.
Although the South African company in this time and space also lost Nyasaland, its strength has not decreased but increased compared with that of the other time and space. Its individual strength is second to none in southern Africa.
In terms of overall economic strength, Nyasaland crushed Rhodesia, but Roque was very smart to create a lot of companies instead of kneading all the companies together. The result was a lot of companies in Nyasaland, hidden in
The South African company is not as impressive as the Favalte Steel Group.
Speaking of monopoly, except for steel, in any field in Southern Africa, there are two to three outstanding companies competing with each other. Favart Steel Group is the real trust in Southern Africa. If Philip wants to spin off, he should first spin off Favart.
Special Steel Group.
“After the demerger, the South African Company will cease to exist and will be replaced by the Rhodesian Company. Like the Nyasaland Company, the Rhodesian Company is responsible for investment, the Rhodesian Bank is responsible for finance, and Rhodesian Food is responsible for canning.
The Rhodesian Mineral Resources Company mines the mines, the Rhodesian Railway Company - oh, the railway company is gone too, it will be called the United Railway Company in the future." Stoudemire laughed, his eyes red.
The South African company was founded by Cecil Rhodes, but it was about to end in the hands of Stoudemire. You can imagine Stoudemire's mood.
"Cecil, there is absolutely no need for you to be like this -" Rock could understand Xiao Si's mood. Remembering that old Cecil asked Rock to take care of Xiao Si when he was dying, Rock felt uncomfortable.
"Locke, I don't want to embarrass you. The existence of the South African company was originally an accident, and it's time to end." Stoudemire took a deep breath and gradually calmed down.
It can be said that the South African company is a special historical product of a special period, and it can be regarded as a legacy of history. It is actually not a bad thing to split it up now.
"And you don't have to worry. Even if the South African company is split up, Rhodesia will still be the Rhodesia of the Rhodes family and Nyasaland's best ally." Stoudemire is confident that the Rhodes family will be in Rhodesia.
Desia has been in business for decades and still has this confidence.
"Well, haven't you always wanted to set up an arsenal? I'll sell Milner's arsenal to you." Rock was generous. Since Stoudemire was so cooperative, Rock also had to express his feelings.
The military industry in southern Africa has always been under Roque's control, and the federal government cannot interfere.
Stoudemire wanted to get involved in the military industry a long time ago, but unfortunately Rock did not agree, and Stoudemire has never been able to do so.
"Ha, do you want to sell off non-performing assets? That's a good idea!" Stoudemire was not fooled. After the end of the world war, the military industry in southern Africa was basically at a standstill, and arsenals were forced to transform into producing civilian goods, but the transformation did not proceed smoothly.
It didn't go well, and the military industry is now in a very difficult situation.
"Don't forget it -" Luo Ke was calm and calm, completely letting go of his last trace of wariness towards Xiaosi.
If Stoudemire had just agreed to Rock's proposal, Rock's evaluation of Stoudemire would have dropped by one level.
Rock and Stoudemire had an unwritten agreement in the past. Stoudemire was deeply involved in the food industry, while Rock was developing the military industry, and they were clear about not interfering with each other.
Now if Stoudemire gets involved in the military industry, then Rock will have enough reason to get involved in the food industry. It's hard to say who will suffer and who will take advantage.
"If you really want to reorganize your assets, sell Nyasaland Heavy Industries to me." Stoudemire is also ambitious and doesn't want to make cans all day long.
"You want to build a car?" Rock was surprised. He didn't expect Stoudemire to think so.
After the split of Nyasaland Automobile Group, Nyasaland Automobile and Nyasaland Heavy Industries were formed.
Rock's original intention is for the two companies to compete with each other, promote each other and develop together.
It looks pretty good now, but both companies are controlled by Rock, and it feels like they are not playing their full role.
"Your intention is correct, but it is a pity that Nyasaland Automobile and Nyasaland Heavy Industries have not done enough, haven't you noticed? Nyasaland Automobile Group mainly focuses on cars and trucks, and Nyasaland Heavy Industries
Off-roading and pickup trucks are not a real competition between them. In fact, they have reached a tacit understanding." Xiao Si, a bystander, knows that when brothers fight, they will definitely not kill him.
Luo Ke was silent, thinking about it carefully, this is really the case.
"Okay, I'll sell Nyasaland Heavy Industry to you." Rock made up his mind.
"Hahahaha, how much is it?" Xiao Si generously took out the checkbook from his pocket and threw it in front of Roque, letting Roque ask the price.
"Do you have a rand on you?" Rock smiled. He would not forget that Stoudemire sold Nyasaland to him for one pound.
That was the beginning of Rock's true success.
Xiaosi's eyes instantly turned red.
Entering June, several major events occurred in the three northern states that could change the future of southern Africa.
First, the federal government took the lead and united all railway companies in Southern Africa to form the United Railway Company to reorganize the railways in Southern Africa.
Then the Rhodes family, which had been in Rhodesia for decades, decided to split the South African company into 12 independent operating companies that were not affiliated with each other. The last giant in southern Africa that had existed in the colonial era announced
end.
Then Roark decided to sell part of Nyasaland Heavy Industries and Nyasaland Aviation to Rhodesia Automobile and Rhodesia Aviation under the name of Stoudemire. Nyasaland Enterprises has a strong influence on the automotive industry and
The monopoly in the aviation industry has also come to an end. Rhodesia Automobile announced on July 1 that it will launch more than ten brands including cars, off-road pickup trucks, buses and agricultural vehicles by the end of the year, and Nyasaland Automobile.
Heavy industry competes in all aspects.
"You and Cecil are putting me on the fire -" Henry was very dissatisfied with Roque and Stoudemire. After the split of the South African company, only Favalte Steel Group was left as the monopoly in southern Africa.
"No, don't get too fancy. Australian companies and Iron Four Corners have decided to mine iron ore in Australia and Brazil. Haut-Katanga United Mining Co., Ltd. has also established a subsidiary company specializing in the production of special steel. Your good days are over.
"Roke is fierce, two of the three giants in southern Africa are making continuous progress, and Henry cannot stand still.
"Whatever you guys, there's something I forgot to tell you. Fawalt Steel Group has just discovered huge iron ore and aluminum deposits in French Guinea. Do you want to develop them together?" Henry actually didn't worry too much.
After twenty years of iron ore mining, the output and grade have been declining, mining costs are gradually increasing, and Henry has to look for new mineral resources.
French Guinea has the largest aluminum and iron ore mines in the world, a situation the French government has not grasped.
However, at the beginning of the 20th century, a large-scale anti-French armed uprising broke out in French Guinea, which has not subsided until now, and it is not easy to mine mines.
"No, as long as you are happy." Roque did not participate. The iron ore in the Iron Four Corners and the Pilbara region are on the shallow surface and can be directly mined in the open pit. Roque did not go to the French colonies to join in the fun.
To put it bluntly, the current mining of iron ore in French Guinea is equivalent to a blood transfusion to France. Although France has changed its ambassador to the League of Nations, Roque is a vengeful person. When France's colonial rule in Guinea completely collapses, France will give up.
After Guinea, it was not too late for Rock to exploit Guinea's iron ore and aluminum ores.
"No, I'm Gavin and Alvin's uncle, you can't just let it go." Henry was dumbfounded for a moment. Without Roque's help, there were mountains of gold buried under the ground in French Guinea, and Henry couldn't dig them out.
The most powerful force in Rock's hands is not the Rand Bank or the Nyasaland Corporation, but paramilitary organizations such as Umbrella and Delta.
It should be said that Delta is still not that good right now. Although Umbrella is a security company in name, it actually has tens of thousands of registered mercenaries, and it can easily mobilize one or two divisions at any time.
The current situation in French Guinea is very chaotic. To develop the iron ore in French Guinea, it is necessary to build the railway first and ensure that the railway is not destroyed. This requires a strong armed force.
"Seriously, I suggest you move Fawalt's factory to other places. The pollution from your factories is too serious. Even Pretoria has been affected now. If you ask me, just move it directly to Walvis Bay.
Go aside, the iron ore will be smelted on the spot after getting off the ship, saving time, labor and cost, what do you think?" It's not that Rock doesn't care, Henry has been angry and resentful in recent years, so he must gain some virtue for his children.
Fawalt was Henry's fief, and the federal government had no right to interfere, which gave Henry the greatest convenience.
Rock has always paid attention to environmental protection and minimized environmental pollution when setting up factories in Nyasaland.
Therefore, although the heavy industry in Nyasaland is developed, the pollution problem caused by it is not serious. This has also indirectly improved the environmental protection level of Nyasaland. The University of Nyasaland has now opened an environmental protection major to conduct in-depth research on environmental protection.
.
Compared with Roque, Henry was unscrupulous in Favalte, not only using African-American workers at will to save costs, but also not considering environmental protection issues at all.
Nowadays, the environmental pollution in Fawalt is very serious. When Rock took the train and passed through Fawalt, he could clearly feel that the air quality in Fawalt was very bad. The sky was always gray and the visibility was very low.
"Is it free to move the factory? What should I do with this part of the cost?" Henry was so greedy that the first thing that came to his mind was the cost.
This cannot be blamed on Henry. A large number of heavy industries under Roque's name all require production raw materials from the Favalte Steel Group. With the relationship between Roque and Henry, Henry cannot make much money, so how can he not keep costs down?
After all, there are tens of thousands of people who depend on Favalte Steel Group for their livelihood.
