Chapter 526: To Madagascar

In a week, Henry successfully acquired 21 mining companies in South Africa, with a total capital of 35 billion US dollars. The mining takeover that swept South Africa www.biquge.info shocked the world, knowing that the original Williams Mining Company was the world's largest mining company with many mines in Australia and around the world. But now it has acquired so many mining companies in South Africa, almost monopolizing more than 25 percent of the world's mineral resources! There are countless large and small mining companies in the world, and only a small Chinese coal boss is very wealthy, buying luxury houses, driving luxury cars, and spending money...... However, the mineral resources of tens of thousands of such coal bosses are not as strong as Williams Mining Company!

When the news reached Japan, it immediately caused a huge panic among the Japanese steel companies, because they knew that Henry would not sell them the minerals, and the other mining companies would only take advantage of the fire to rob them and take the opportunity to extort them. Of course, Japanese steel companies also want to buy some mines, but unfortunately, they have only recently experienced the Japanese economic crisis, and they have not had enough funds to buy mines. Even if I bought some, it was just a drop in the bucket. Japan is a small country and lacks resources, so mineral resources are basically purchased from outside sources. According to statistics, Japan's steel exports account for more than one-third of the world's steel and are the world's largest steel exporters. This shows how much demand for mineral resources is in Japan!

At the beginning, Japan bullied China's industrial backwardness and obtained a very large amount of minerals from China at an extremely cheap cabbage price. But China soon developed, and its own demand for minerals became more and more large, and even had to buy a lot of minerals from outside the world every year. Under such circumstances, how could China sell a large amount of minerals to Japan? As a result, Japan could only buy minerals from Australia. However, they never expected that Henry suddenly entered the Australian mineral market, and then launched a stormy acquisition, occupying more than 60% of Australia's mineral resources in an instant!

Japan was immediately stunned, and looked around at a loss!

At present, the only country closest to Japan and willing to sell them minerals is Russia, but although Russia is rich in mineral resources, the quality of iron ore lags far behind that of major iron ore producing countries such as Australia and Brazil. At present, the low-end steel market with relatively small profits has been gradually occupied by Chinese steel companies, while Japanese steel companies mainly focus on the mid-to-high-end market, so they have high requirements for the quality of iron ore.

There is a saying that it is difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

No matter how good the technology of Japanese steel companies is, if they don't have good materials, they will be in vain.

Compared to the miserable situation in Japan, Madagascar is not to be happy!

After opening the world map, you can see that Madagascar "South Africa on the left, Australia on the right, ore does not have to worry at all", which makes people very envious and jealous......

By April 2003, Iraq was at a stalemate with the Anglo-American coalition. Karina and the others had arrived in Madagascar at this moment, and Henry had no worries, so he instructed Blackwater to prepare for a referendum on the independence of Madagascar. At the same time, Henry also accelerated the pace of South Africa's layout.

On April 12, Henry acquired Standard Bank for $20 billion.

The next day, Henry bought MTN Telecom for $26.5 billion.

Subsequently, the two companies were preparing to be delisted from the stock market.

On the day of the acquisition of MTN, Henry held a press conference, announcing that he had acquired MTN, and secondly, announcing that his telecom companies would start to build 4G networks and replace 4G-SIM cards for the company's users for free.

Just ten minutes after the press conference, Williams Telecom, Brazil's Oi, Britain's O2, India's Bharti Telecom, South Africa's MTN, and Hong Kong Telecom have successively stated that they will provide users with 4G-SIM card replacement services free of charge.

Watching one telecom company after another announce the construction of 4G networks and upgrade users to 4G mobile phone cards for free, other telecom companies are all anxious.

At present, most countries still have 2G networks, and 3G networks are only just starting in developed countries. As soon as 4G comes out, how can other telecom companies compete? If mobile phone users need to charge a high fee to replace their 4G-SIM cards, it's fine, but you're actually free, what should other telecom companies do? In order to prevent the loss of their own users, isn't this forcing themselves to build a 4G network?

Henry Williams is too TM pit!

Countless telecommunications are scolding ~ Niang, but scolding ~ Niang doesn't work, and in the end, many telecom companies have to build 4G networks.

AT&T, Vodafone, Telefónica and other telecom giants have deep pockets and have taken the lead in saying that they will vigorously establish 4G networks, and they can also replace 4G-SIM cards for users free of charge. Then, more and more telecom companies are involved in the construction of 4G networks.

Henry only knows that Qualcomm is the only mature 4G network technology at present. These telecom companies want to build 4G networks, all of them have to pay for themselves, and the number of users is so large that the 4G network standard is directly formed. The formation of standards is tantamount to building a huge patent barrier, so that the competitors who study 4G network technology are stillborn! The market is occupied by others, who will be stupid at this time to avoid the layers of patent barriers of Qualcomm's 4G network, and spend huge manpower and material resources to develop a similar 4G network, what use can this be? When the 4G network is developed by bypassing the patent, not only is there no market, but other people's 5G network has come out again.

It didn't take long for the world's major mobile phone manufacturers to place orders with Qualcomm to buy mobile phone communication chips to develop 4G mobile phones, which will obviously be a huge amount of revenue.

Therefore, although Henry has acquired many telecommunications companies, in the blink of an eye, he has made a lot of profits, and he has also monopolized the market, and the profits in the future will definitely be jaw-dropping!

At present, the construction of 4G networks cannot be done overnight, and it is not economical to cover most areas in a year. Therefore, starting with the economically developed large cities, the network will gradually cover the rural areas in the future.

Henry's investment in South Africa is so large that South Africa has been on the headlines of major media in the world, and for a while, it has attracted the attention of many investors, and there are no less than 1,000 investment teams visiting South Africa in the past two days. President Gary Tennison was overjoyed and wanted to stay with Henry for a few more days, but Henry had already decided to go to Madagascar. However, in less than three days, the news that Henry is going to establish a state in Madagascar will be announced, and South African President Gary Tennison will be stunned!

Madagascar is only a few hours away by plane from South Africa.

Henry came to Madagascar again, not as a guest, but as a king!!

At this moment, on the airport of the capital of Madagascar, more than 1,000 Blackwater members lined up and waited, and the whole scene was spectacular and solemn!

At 11:40 a.m. on April 18, Henry's private jet landed at Madagascar's capital airport.

"Standing !!"

"Salute !!"

As soon as Henry got off the plane, an officer said loudly, and immediately, thousands of Blackwater members stood in a uniform military posture, and then saluted Henry! That guy, some tourists in the distance were stunned!

Henry nodded to the crowd with great satisfaction, and then got into his car and left the airport under the escort of the others.

The capital of Madagascar is called Antananarivo, and 20 kilometers north of Antananarivo is the only oldest and relatively complete royal palace in Madagascar, the Royal Blue Mountain Palace. It's just that the Royal Blue Mountain Palace, built by the natives of Madagascar, is not worthy of Henry's honorable status, and there is no doubt that Henry wants to build his own palace, the Williams Palace!

Henry had already sent his own Winsom Architectural Design Agency to Madagascar for a comprehensive investigation and design work, not only for his own royal palace, but also for the planning and construction of Madagascar cities. The cities of Madagascar basically have to be torn down and rebuilt, and even if they want to stay, they only need to leave some more distinctive and historical buildings. Of course, such a large design work is naturally not something that Winsom can do alone. It's just that Henry has not yet founded the country, if he blatantly hires a large number of architectural design firms to design Madagascar, I am afraid that this will become "Sima Zhao's heart is known to everyone", Henry wants to learn from Zhao Kuangyin, and said in his heart, I don't want to be the emperor, but to be "added to the yellow robe" by my subordinates, I can't help it.

If it is after the founding of the People's Republic of China, if you go to hire an architectural design firm, then there is nothing to blame!

At this moment, Kailina and the others are living in the Royal Blue Mountain Palace, which has been renovated, otherwise, it is really impossible to live in.

At noon, Henry arrived at the Royal Blue Mountain Palace to be reunited with Karina, Helen, Princess Ulysses, Caesar, and Diana.

"If you are used to living here, if you are not used to living here, you will move to a modern hotel first. In addition, I have asked Winsom to start designing our own palace, and we will move to our own palace in the future!"

"It's ok to stay, it's beautiful and the architecture is very special. Karina laughed.

The Royal Blue Mountains Palace is a wooden structure, built on a stone pedestal, and many of the buildings have been dilapidated, compared to Williams Manor, one in the sky and one in the ground. Henry naturally knew that letting them live here was a little wronged for them. Henry thought to himself, who said that to become a king, you must live in this dilapidated palace? How comfortable it is to live in a private villa before your own palace is built! Madagascar is poor, but that does not mean that there are no rich people and no private villas. During the outbreak of civil strife in Madagascar, Henry had ordered the recovery of these villas and a large amount of land. And now how many villas have been acquired, Henry himself does not know, in short, there are many, many ...... (I was going to send it together, but I see if you're in a hurry, so let's send a chapter first)
