Section 460 China's Plan
As for Morgan's statement that Britain will welcome Yang Chao's intervention to balance the power of the United States, it is obviously just Morgan's wishful thinking or a pretext, and the US government does not think so, and the United States also does not want Yang Chao to intervene in Germany, so Britain and the United States have compromised with each other and reached an agreement.

"What are they going to do?"
Yang Chao asked.
Zhang Nian shook his head: "It's not clear for the time being, where did we get the news from Germany that Britain may contribute 60% and Americans 40%. ”
It seems that the Americans have made concessions, knowing that it is impossible to clash head-on with the British here in Germany, and that after all, Europe is the territory of John the Bull, not Uncle Sam's farm.
Yang Chao smiled: "It's okay. We don't get involved in politics. But the private sector can still cooperate. ”
Zhang Nian frowned: "But Britain, the United States and Germany have agreed that all economic issues with Germany must now be under the framework of the reparations committee, and even if we give loans to private enterprises in Germany, I am afraid that we will be interfered with." ”
Yang Chao shook his head: "Who said we were going to take out a loan?" We attract investment. ”
Zhang Nian was puzzled: "The investment of the Germans? They can't protect themselves. ”
Yang Chao shook his head: "The Krupp giants have also made a lot of money, and the value of German assets has depreciated greatly, and many iron mines, coal mines, and land have been cheaply annexed by them." Speaking of which, they are the fattest ones to eat. Now that Britain and the United States have injected capital, they don't even lack capital, their strength is strong, and their ambitions will naturally swell, do you have any interest in redeeming the assets they sold in China back then? ”
Isn't the reason why Eisen and Krupp support Adolf because they are strong, their nationalist ambitions are inflated, and they are dissatisfied with the economic control of their companies by Britain and the United States, and they want to be independent.
The current situation is that in the midst of inflation, these guys swallowed up a lot of assets, and then, with the support of Britain and the United States, formed a huge monopoly cartel organization, and General Electricity controlled the pricing power of the German power industry, and Siemens had to obey their pricing principles, and the combined production of explosives by United Steel and Farben accounted for 95% of the country's total, and even the Krupp Arms Company was under its control.
And the one who controls these three cartels is Wall Street dignitary Dillon. Reed, Harris. Forbes, National City Corporation, Fair Trust, without the channels of these companies, the products of companies such as Krupp could not be sold, so they resumed production and had the ability to make money, but they lost the channels to make money.
Yang Chao is now going to give them a channel, a channel to export to China.
"I have to meet people from Krupp, Siemens, Bayer, Akfa and BASF."
These three companies will be the backbone members of the Anglo-American-controlled German cartel, among which Krupp needless to say, will be the backbone of the United Iron and Steel organization, Siemens will become the backbone of the German General Purpose Cartel, and Bayer and others will be the backbone of the chemical giant Farben.
Among these companies, Krupp, Siemens and Bayer all happened to have investments in Qingdao, but now their shares have dropped to 10%, and too many assets were sold to support the war during the war, and even if they wanted to redeem them after the war, they were unable to spare it.
And these companies Yang Chao believes that there is still a need for cooperation, Krupp and Siemens needless to say, Bayer and other companies in the hands of chemical dye technology, China has never mastered, this is their core technology, from coal tar to extract a variety of chemicals, although China's petrochemical technology has been very strong, but the coal chemical industry is far behind, the previous introduction of Bayer only care about the production of conch, wasted China's world's first coal reserves.
However, simply by introducing funds, they will definitely not be willing to bring the technology to China, so Yang Chao has another plan.
"Joint venture, integration of your capital in China and Germany. By re-merging Bayer in Qingdao with Bayer in Germany and adopting methods such as equity exchange, I think it is reasonable for your family to account for about 40% of the shares. ”
This is Yang Chao's method, Britain and the United States form cartels and make these giants obey them, and Yang Chao starts with the companies themselves.
A cartel is a kind of monopoly organization, but unlike trusts, it is just a monopoly organization that stipulates the price and production ratio through various agreements, simply put, it is a unanimous agreement signed by two sellers of baked cakes, stipulating how many cakes each company will cook every day and what the price is, and finally achieve the purpose of controlling the supply and sales of the market.
Yang Chao does not want to compete with Britain and the United States for control yet, but this kind of commercial cooperation is still possible.
As for the problem of capital invasion, these companies had to sell their assets during the time of Wilhelm II, Adolf was not so easy to speak, and forced them to sell their factories when the time came, and Yang Chao thought that it was probably these people who had to worry about the invasion of Chinese capital, and Yang Chao would not be satisfied with the current ratio after World War II, and it would be merciful to give these people two percent at that time.
Clearly, Bayer is interested.
"As for you, we also welcome BASF and ACFA to invest in China, China's coal resources must be well known to you, the price of coal is half lower than that of Germany, just burning it for power generation, it is too wasteful."
BASF and Akfa are more interested in China's huge market, who does not drool.
It's just that they have some concerns about equity, these people are still family businesses, although the scale is huge, but there is actually no essential difference from the small shops on the roadside, and their independence is very strong.
"Think about it, since it is a partnership, China naturally has to share the benefits. Your assets in Germany are honestly not worth much right now, and I am willing to provide financial help if you are willing to merge. But in the case of a controlling stake, you know, the Chinese capitalists will not be satisfied. At least the capitalists who hold your shares will not be able to sell them. Unless it is through a share swap, and if you swap shares, you should have a clear contrast between your assets in Germany and your assets in China. ”
Yang Chao said, in fact, he cooperated with these German companies, and did not plan to pay a penny, so he used the past assets of these enterprises in Qingdao to merge with their assets in Germany to form a new company, and there are many capitalists who own the assets of Qingdao Bayer and other companies, and the main force is the Shanghai banking group.
Bayer thought about it for a moment and nodded.
But BASF and Akfa, who have no business in Qingdao, wondered: "What about us?" ”
Yang Chao said with a smile: "I am willing to inject capital into you to help you invest in China, I only need 30% of the shares, you keep 40%, and the rest will be raised in Shanghai." ”
Compared with Krupp, these chemical giants have the worst time, Krupp they own mines, land or industry, even if it is depreciating, at least, they are chemical giants, the most important thing is actually technology, now there is no market, their technology is worthless.
The German market does not need to be considered, with the current situation in Germany, they have completely lost confidence, even if Britain and the United States are playing bailout, but the bailout that Britain and the United States have been shouting for several years, and it has not had a good effect; They also do not consider the American market, and DuPont, the American chemical industry giant, will not allow them to invade the United States; Giants such as the UK's Bu Neimen are also not vegetarians; Not to mention France, it is impossible for them to export to France if they are killed.
Then only a market like China can make them rich, it is an exaggeration to say that they can make a fortune, and it is a luxury to survive, so these three companies have no choice but to agree with Yang Chao to evaluate their assets in Germany, form a new company, and then invest in China.
But they are not completely out of control, they have been assured by Yang Chao that you are Yang Chao who will trust them with the equity in his hand, which means that they have 70% of the equity and still have the right to speak in the company.
They are a family business, but they don't mind splitting shares, because the shares in their company are not completely in the hands of one person, but are scattered among large and small family members, and even some relatives, friends and partners have their shares, but they are not publicly circulated in the market.
The chemical giants have no opinion, and Krupp has no opinion, he has already heard about the Anglo-American plan to save Germany, to put Krupp under a Anglo-American controlled cartel, he is full of concerns, to hand over the fate to Britain and the United States or to China, Krupp trusts the latter more, investment in Qingdao has been smooth these years, and the Chinese speak more beautifully than the British.
So Krupp also agreed to merge the German Krupp assets with the Shandong Krupp assets, but they asked for 51% of the shares, the two sides were entangled for a long time on this point, and finally Krupp gave in and only asked for 49% of the equity, and also got Yang Chao's guarantee that he would not interfere with their operation, and entrusted his equity to Krupp, only enjoying dividends, and promised that when selling the equity, the Krupp family had the right of first refusal.
The Siemens family has a lower desire for control than the Krupp family, they agreed very simply, their business in China now accounts for 70%, China's continuous construction of power plants, electrified railways, power grids are almost monopolized by Siemens China, but in Siemens China, the Siemens family only accounts for 10% of the shares, they have long been dissatisfied with this, so once the merger, in fact, the overall control of the Siemens family is greatly strengthened.
After reaching an agreement, Yang Chao was also very satisfied, in fact, he was also buying the bottom, and swept away their huge assets in Germany at a low price before the Germans themselves had no confidence in their own economy.
Next year at the latest, the German economy will be stable, with the support of Britain and the United States, the Germans can still enjoy the second half of the great prosperity of the 20s, when the German economy once again surpassed Britain and France, the asset value is not the current price, at that time Yang Chao even planned to sell them directly, and so the beginning of the Great Depression, when the German economic crisis was the most serious, Yang Chao was playing a floor price to buy the bottom, and the family funds saved by these families in recent years are estimated to be sheared by Yang Chao again.
Just sent off a few giants, the chief of the guard suddenly walked in, his face was very ugly.
"What's wrong?"
"The woman in the hospital came with a few people to see you and say thank you for your concern."
Riefenstahl wanted to see Yang Chao, Yang Chao was a little strange, and what was even more strange was that the expression of his guard chief was obviously not good, could it be that he was molested by a German woman?
"Let them in!"
Yang Chao patted Jin Zhentang's shoulder to reassure him. (To be continued.) )
