After lunch, Henry asked his secretary if there were any good private villas nearby. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"There is exactly one!" the secretary nodded, "This villa has 2,500 square meters, it was a private villa of a Frenchman, and after the outbreak of war in Madagascar, it was sold to us at a low price!"

"Inform Madame that they will move in the afternoon!" said Henry, looking up and looking around, "Living here feels like I've come to the country!"

"Okay!" the secretary nodded, and went outside to make a phone call to arrange the move.

At this time, Tom, CEO of Winsom Architects, came to the Royal Blue Mountain Palace.

"Hello, Mr. Williams!"

"Yes!" Henry nodded, "is there anything wrong?"

"Mr. Williams, many of the buildings we designed at Winsom are high-rise buildings, but Madagascar's industrial base is too poor to be built!"

Henry thought for a while and said, "Don't worry about this, I will buy relevant engineering equipment from the outside world!"

In fact, Henry had already thought about this problem.

Madagascar's industry is so poor, can it produce large excavators and trucks? So, the only way is to buy from the outside world. Henry has asked people to investigate the information of the world's top ten construction machinery manufacturing giants, and at present, two companies have entered Henry's eyes!

The first is Caterpillar Inc. in the United States, the world's largest construction machinery manufacturing enterprise.

Founded in 1925 and headquartered in Illinois, USA, the company is one of the world's largest manufacturers of construction machinery and mining equipment, gas engines and industrial gas turbines, and one of the world's largest diesel engine manufacturers. In terms of construction machinery, Caterpillar's main products include excavators, loaders, bulldozers, scrapers, graders, pavers, milling machines, stabilized soil mixers, off-highway and mining dump trucks, compactors and other 10 series of products.

The second company is Liebherr AG of Germany. The company's construction machinery products include a complete series of tower cranes, truck-mounted cranes, hydraulic excavators, dump trucks, hydraulic pipelayers, wheel loaders, crawler tractors and loaders, pipeline laying machines, concrete batching plants and mixer trucks. In addition, Liebherr offers a wide range of products in many other areas, such as cranes for ship, container and dock areas, such as for cargo handling. In plant and plant construction, Liebherr supplies machine tools, interlocking machine systems, aviation equipment and transport technology, and in the field of household appliances, Liebherr offers a complete range of refrigerators and freezers.

From the product lines of these two companies, it can be seen that their products are complementary in many aspects, and each has its own strength.

The two trucks that impressed Henry the most were the Liebherr T282 and the Caterpillar 797. Henry was shocked when he first saw it, surprised at how there could be such a big truck in the world! The Caterpillar 797 weighed 288 tons, while the Liebherr T282 weighed 363 tons, and each tire of the two trucks was almost 3.8 meters high. Compared to the two of them, the big trucks you usually see on the road are simply mini trucks! If this kind of giant truck is driven on the road, those who touch porcelain will definitely take a detour!

In addition, as far as Henry knows, Haier was developed on the technology of Liebherr back then, and the origin is not small!

Tom heard Henry say this, and then gave Henry a copy of the staffing of Winsom Architects in Madagascar. This time, Winsom sent more than 3,600 designers to Madagascar, using almost 80% of the studio's designers!

Then Tom took his leave.

Henry picked up the phone and called his acquisition team.

"Smith, start the acquisition of Caterpillar in the United States and Liebherr in Germany!"

"Understood!"

Both Caterpillar and Liebherr's information were personally investigated by Smith, so he knew the situation of these two companies very well, "Mr. Williams, even if these two companies are acquired, it is a big problem to transport these engineering equipment. You see, are we buying another big maritime shipping company!"

Smith paused, then continued: "Didn't you buy a large number of shipyards in England before? If you can have a maritime shipping company, then the shipyards can produce and sell their own goods! At the same time, you can discourage competitors and reduce their orders!" In addition, Mr. Williams, you have so many industries under your name, and many things need to be shipped, such as express delivery, steel, ore, electronics, engineering equipment, grain, etc., if you have a marine transportation company, you can not only save a lot of expenses, but also develop this marine transportation company!"

Henry nodded, feeling that what Smith said made a lot of sense, with so much of his own industry is enough to feed a world-class maritime transportation company. And the biggest customers of the shipyard are these maritime transport companies, and mastering the maritime transport companies means that they are in control of the fate of the shipyards, and if they do not buy South Korean and Japanese ships, their income will not fall sharply!

Henry couldn't help but smile on his face, and said, "Smith, since you said so, then you must have found a target for the acquisition!"

"Yes, Mr. Williams!" Smith nodded, "This company is called Maersk Group, the first of the world's top ten famous shipping companies, and the world's largest container shipping company!"

Smith didn't say much, the point was there. He knew that his boss, Henry Williams, would not buy the company, and if he did, he would usually buy the leader of the industry!

When Henry heard the name Maersk, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised. Maersk's name is like thunder, and Henry has heard of it in his previous life. Maersk ranks first in the world in terms of capacity, transporting nearly 7 billion tons of cargo by ocean alone every year, which is equivalent to one ton per person on the planet, and Maersk's ships call at ports every 13 minutes on average around the world.

"There's no place Maersk can't reach! not even a small island in the Pacific Ocean or an inland point in Africa!"

Maersk is so confident.

It is said that Maersk pays 40% of the country's taxes in Denmark, which is simply amazing!

"Very good, then buy Maersk!!" Henry said in a deep voice.

"Yes!"

After Henry hung up the phone, he couldn't help but wonder, isn't it too awesome to do it himself?

Just as Henry was stunned, Lakshmi Mittal called.

"Mr. Williams, with the help of the British government, the European Union has agreed to the merger of Williams Steel and Arcelor Steel!" Lakshmi Mittal said with great excitement on the phone.

Henry is much calmer, in the previous life, Lakshmi Mittal's Tamir Steel Company annexed Arcelor Steel Company, and in this life it was just replaced by Williams Steel Company, and the success rate should be quite high. Arcelor Steel was originally formed by three major European steel giants, and was founded to compete with Japanese steel companies. But even so, Arcelor is still no match for Nippon Steel. If a single steel company is compared, Arcelor Steel is the first in terms of scale. But Europe can also get hold of Arcelor, but Japan has four major steel companies, and each steel company is not much worse than Arcelor. The spirit of unity of the Japanese is obvious to all, and the four major steel companies have joined forces to deal with Arcelor Steel, and Arcelor is naturally not an opponent. Now, Williams Steel and Arcelor Steel have merged and their power has skyrocketed, and they can almost compete with the four major steel companies in Japan!

The new company will still be called Williams Steel and will have a market value of nearly $180 billion, with Henry holding 66.5 percent of the shares, the former Arcelor Steel shareholders holding 30 percent of the shares, and Lakshmi Mittal personally holding 3.5 percent.

"Okay, I see!" said Henry, "and if the plant is fully operational, there will be a huge demand for steel in the world!"

"Yes!"

……

……

In the afternoon, Henry's family moved to a nearby private villa. In the evening, Henry receives a large number of Blackwater members. Under their control, a referendum on the independence of Madagascar will be announced tomorrow, and Henry Williams will be proposed to be the king of Madagascar!

Late at night, the starry sky was shining, and Henry actually had insomnia.

He stared at the starry sky in the distance, thinking to himself that tomorrow there would be a referendum on independence, when the whole world would know that he was going to be king of Madagascar and establish a new regime. What will people think? What will be the attitude of the U.S. government?!

"Honey, can't you sleep?" said Karina, hugging Henry from behind.

Henry nodded and said, "There will be an independence referendum tomorrow, and I'm a little nervous right now!"

"What's so stressful about this, with your prestige in Madagascar and Blackwater's help, the kingship is a certainty. Since the king is elected in a referendum on independence, what qualifications do other countries have to dictate!" Karina said.

Henry knew that this "other country" meant the United States.

"What's more, don't you have the support of Great Britain?, approve the Commonwealth of Madagascar to join the Commonwealth of Nations, and become a member of it!" Karina smiled, "Besides, you have been supporting your own government in the United States all these years, although it is not comparable to other conglomerates, but it is also a considerable force." In addition, do you think these American conglomerates want you to leave the United States, or do they want you to stay in the United States? If you stay in the United States, you may steal more cheese from them and shake their position! If I were from the Morgan consortium or the Rockefeller consortium, I would like you to leave the United States as far away as possible......

Henry nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, I'm going to be in the United States, and they're only getting scared." If I had gone to the barren land of Madagascar, they would have been asking for it......"

Karina smiled: "Hehe, these American consortia may join forces to help you......"

"Haha, it's really possible that this is ......"

Henry laughed and kissed Karina on the small mouth, and after a while, a voice sounded in the room......

……

The next morning, the air was fresh and scented with grass.

The independence referendum began at 9 o'clock in the morning, and after Henry and the others had breakfast, they sat in front of the TV and watched the live TV.

This is not the election of the president, how can Henry be embarrassed to canvass for votes. Do you want to say to them, 'I want to be king, and the Williams family will rule over you for generations, and you will vote for me quickly?'

At the very least, it will wait until the results of the independence referendum are in, and Henry will appear.

Wait, wait, wait, it's only 8 o'clock, and it's only an hour by 9 o'clock. But at this moment, Henry felt that life was like a year, and it was really difficult!

Half an hour before the vote, however, calls for Henry Williams to be king grew across Madagascar.

"Mr. Henry Williams cares most about us Malagasy people, and I think he should be chosen as our king!!!"

"That's right, Henry Williams is king, I'll !! it"

"Yes, let Mr. Henry Williams be king, he is so rich, he will definitely develop Madagascar in the future, and our standard of living will be greatly improved, don't you think?!"

"That's right, Henry Williams, as the richest man in the world, has a fortune of trillions of dollars!

"Supporting Henry Williams as king!! Henry Williams was the most genius man on earth, who created countless fortunes and miracles. He will make Madagascar a rich and powerful country in the world when we are our king!!"

"Woooooooooo......oo I supported Henry Williams as king, and without him, not only would I have starved to death, but my grandson would have starved to death. He gave me and my grandson's lives, and I voted for him to be king!"

“……”

Some foreign media reporters were dumbfounded, what is the situation. In modern society, there are still people who are willing to let others be kings? Are these people brains in water? These reporters don't understand, Henry did a lot of things in Madagascar that moved the Malagasy people, and the members of Blackwater **** brainwashed these people every night, saying how good Henry was, and also visited the shrine every day by erecting stone monuments. This is no longer simply a cult of personality, but a deification of Henry.

Therefore, under the long-term subtle effect, Henry Williams became king, which was also taken for granted by the Malagasy people. What's more, many of these voters are members of Blackwater, and they take the lead in supporting Henry as king! And the people have a herd mentality, and it is extremely easy to be influenced, especially the uneducated Malagasy people, seeing such an exciting scene, coupled with the fact that they are usually brainwashed and washed a lot, at that time, their brains were hot, and they also expressed their support for Henry to become king.

Bite!!!

At 9 o'clock, the referendum on the independence of Madagascar officially began.

"Henry Williams is king, one vote!"

"Henry Williams is king, two votes!"

"Henry Williams as king, three votes!"

“……”

At this moment, the voting places in Madagascar's major cities are basically all voting for Henry to be king.

The reporters from the major media outlets around the world were dumbfounded.

"Oh my God, is Henry Williams going to be king of Madagascar?!!!!"
