"Are you sure it's a call from the Huaxia government?"

"It's not the Huaxia government, it's Li Lao personally, and he's willing to provide $600 million to help us tide over the difficulties, personally."

The assistant's words made Joseph pause, and the subsequent words made Joseph even have a desire to kill the assistant, that didn't mean it? It's a joke that an old man surnamed Li can get so much money!

"There was also a call from Hong Kong, and the Shaw Group and more than a dozen families in Hong Kong are willing to lend us money, and they can provide payment at any time for less than $500 million."

At this time, Joseph really did not expect that the first person to help him was the Huaxia government, but considering Huaguo's foreign policy, there is no need to be too surprised by such a thing, especially now that China lacks allies, especially in Europe, even if Nord is small, has a small population, and has little influence.

"Go get back to them! I wrote down this favor to Ragnar III and Joseph, and to the Duchy of Nord. ”

……

On June 3, 1981, the volatility of the Audi stock in the Principality of Nord finally ended with the victory of the Nord Royal Group, and the international financial consortium left Nord in a small setback, and the Audi stock had stabilized back to $26.8 by the end of the day.

The impact of the Nord stock market turmoil is huge, first of all, the financial strength of the Principality of Nord has been recognized by many wealthy people in Europe, and some investors who were originally hesitant began to officially choose to invest in Nord, at this time Europe is in the process of reconstruction, and Nord's economy has been ranked first in terms of individual cities.

The successful listing of Audi AG brought the greatest benefit to NORD as the first heavy industry group with assets of 10 billion US dollars, and also laid a firm foundation for the next NORD Royal Heavy Industry Group.

Forty percent of Audi's shares have been successfully transferred to NORD Royal Industries, which was founded less than a few days ago and is now a candidate for the August list of the Forbes Europe 500 in 1981.

Similarly, according to some non-list commentators, the successful listing of Audi will definitely occupy the top 10 positions in the 1981 Forbes list of Europe's richest people, and even advance to the top 50 in the world.

Just when the outside world is talking about what position the nine-year-old Nord ruler will occupy in the Forbes rich list, a new round of Nord's big moves has begun.

NORD Royal Heavy Industries was born out of the NORD Royal Group, and at this time, NORD Royal Heavy Industries was not only under the umbrella of Audi, but also ports, ship repair yards, and shipyards belonged to NORD Royal Industries.

Audi has been successfully listed, but this is not the most perfect answer for the Principality of Nord, while investors from all over the world are paying attention to Nord, taking advantage of the trend to list several other companies of Royal Heavy Industries is the real completion of the initial plan.

Thirty percent of the shares seem to be the hallmark of Nord's state-owned enterprises in the stock market, and 4:3:3 corresponds to the government, the royal family, and retail investors.

On the day of listing, the value of Nord Royal Heavy Industries more than doubled, and the total value has increased to $18 billion, but the net assets are only up and down $12 billion, which means that even if Royal Heavy Industries doubles its listing value, Joseph's net wealth has not increased much.

In fact, the beneficiaries of Audi's listing are those German and Chinese workers, mainly German engineers, because most of them have become Nord citizens because of the listing of Audi.

In terms of population, the population of the Duchy of Nord has just reached 10,000, of which about 30 percent are Chinese, 35 percent are original Nord citizens, about 28 percent are Germans, and 7 percent are Eastern Europeans.

At this time, there were more than 70,000 workers and temporary residents in the Nord Principality, including Chinese workers, Germans who had not yet emigrated, Eastern Europe and other countries with a tendency to emigrate, and it was no longer a problem to complete the 100,000 population of the Ragnar I era of the Nord Duchy.

However, an important problem was before Joseph, as the increase in population had led to a serious shortage of land, and although the Nord Royal Island was forty square kilometres in size at this time, it was a predominantly agricultural area and not very populated.

In fact, the situation at this time is not as serious as imagined, after all, it is a new era, and the tallest building in Nord is already 100 meters high, and the high altitude makes the living space of human beings more extensive.

Josef is ready to carry out a new round of upgrades to the apartments, which are new residential buildings in the Duchy of Nord, with 23 floors and each of them can accommodate 300 inhabitants (70 families).

Once this plan is completed, the North City alone will accommodate 20,000 people, while the newly built Central District will accommodate 100,000 people, but the crowded city is not what Joseph wants, and a new plan is forming in Joseph's mind with money in hand.

At present, the land area of Nord is 60 square kilometers, but most of it is on the islands, and the mainland area is not as large as the overseas territory, which is really a bit inappropriate, and if you want to increase the local area, you will naturally have to face it......

Joseph had one more thing to do before he could implement the plan to increase his territory, and that was to promote the influence of Nord Royal Television, which is now part of the Nord Royal Media Group, which also includes the Nord Daily, the Nord Evening News, and the Nord Radio.

Since the last Nord TV left, construction of the TV tower has begun, and is expected to be completed by the end of June, by which time NORD TV and NORD Radio will theoretically cover the whole of France and even the south of England, but only if the citizens of these areas buy a signal receiver.

In fact, at this time, Nord TV already had considerable influence, and the millionaire program was just a popular foundation, and the subsequent talent shows, funny edits, and high-quality TV series all allowed Nord TV to gain a large number of loyal viewers.

The Legend of the Demon World, the Wind and Snow in the Border City, the Detective Adventure, etc. are all the results of the writing team of Nord Royal TV, if it is not too short, Nord TV is even qualified to hold TV drama awards.

According to statistics, at this time, the number of household users who chose Nord TV has reached 30,000, of which 70% belong to the territory of the Duchy of Nord, and the rest are residents of some cities in western France.

Because there are a large number of Chinese in Europe at this time, the Nord Evening News (Entertainment) has added a new martial arts section, and some Chinese students in school often submit their novels to the Nord Evening News, although the pass rate is very low, but it can't stand the number of Chinese students now, of course, it is not only Chinese students who submit manuscripts, but also local and German, Eastern European students have also submitted science fiction manuscripts.

Of course, storytelling is not only about martial arts novels, but also about science fiction, but with a relatively small audience.
