"Go to Nanhua!"

Over time, this slogan became more and more a classic among desperate Germans. It wasn't until a decade later, when Mustache came to power, vigorously expanded armaments, and miraculously solved the problem of unemployment, that hundreds of thousands of Germans emigrated to South China in the past decade.

The technology they brought from Europe greatly promoted the industrial development of Nanhua and became an unattainable force for Nanhua to become powerful.

The same thing is happening to Americans more than a decade later, but Americans who are living happily ever after, aren't thinking about the long term.

In Wilhelmshaven, Germany, a steamer is about to set sail, with not only a large number of Krupp equipment on board, but also 3,000 workers in shabby clothes and vegetables.

A low whistle was heard in the air, and as the ship sailed away from the shore, a hint of relief appeared on the faces of the men on deck - finally leaving the desperate city.

They are all excellent technicians selected by Krupp, including engineers, senior technicians, and ordinary workers.

Meihua provides a subsidy of $100 to every German employee who goes to South China, enough for their families not to go hungry for a few months.

"Gustav didn't let me down, and it only took a week for me to see how effective he was."

Situ Nan said with a smile.

Standing next to him was a tall, blonde, blue-eyed middle-aged man, who looked rich and had the confidence of a successful man in his eyes, unlike other Germans, and he was Hans, Situnan's agent and partner in Germany.

"If it is said to be efficient, it is not so much the tremendous energy that people inspire when they see hope in adversity. The only thing they can do is flee the country. ”

Hans laughed. After the world war, the German Empire fell apart, and the German lived in humiliation under the Treaty of Versailles, his nerves had been trained thick and tenacious.

"We did a good job at BASF last time, and I recommend that you join the BASF Board of Directors and take on a more important role."

South Szeto Road. He had 5 percent of BASF's shares that Hans had helped get, and Hans himself held 3.5 percent of BASF's shares, and the two combined. Enough to exert significant influence on the board of directors of BASF.

On top of that, Hans and Stuart Nam have the scarce dollar in BASF and can become bigger shareholders through guò.

"As you wish. I was planning to buy a 10% stake in another Junkers landlord when that guy was going bankrupt. Are you interested? ”

Hans asked with a smile.

"I'll leave it to you!"

Situ Nan politely refused. Although it is not known how Hans got this 10% stake. But the inside story is certainly not as simple as he seems.

"Okay then." Hans nodded, relieved that he would soon own 13.5 percent of BASF's shares, plus Situ Nan's 5 percent, and together with other shareholders, with the abundant financial support of the United States, he would soon be in control of the large chemical company.

To achieve this. Hans put all his net worth into it, and also borrowed $1.5 million from Robles in the United States.

If it weren't for the current economic downturn in Germany, Hans wouldn't have been so easy to get his hands on? Ten years ago, he was only a middle and senior employee of a large German company, but becoming the boss of BASF was a great achievement in his life.

"After sorting out BASF, I will move the factory to Nanhua, which is your territory, and I will trouble the boss." Hans laughed.

"I've always treated you as my friend. We're good partners, aren't we? Mr. Hans! ”

Situ Nan looked at Hans calmly, to this day. This senior worker has turned over, and he wants to take charge of the chemical giant BASF, and there is a faint domineering between his eyebrows, and that subtle change in his heart can naturally be experienced by Situ Nan, who has come over.

"Go ahead! Nanhua's chemical industry has just started and has a broad market. I think there, BASF has achieved as much as Giant. Situ Nan said with a smile.

"Of course. Even if Giant is your boss's property, BASF will not be worse than it. I have already planned to relocate the fertilizer factory and fuel factory in Ludwigshafen to Nanhua, I think the farms in Nanhua will not refuse our fertilizer, and the textile factories in Nanhua are also eager for the fuel produced by BASF! ”

Hans said confidently.

Although he is perennial in Germany. But I have also been paying attention to the situation in South China. Nanhua is a big agricultural country, rich in rice, coffee, pepper, nutmeg, tobacco and other crops, the demand for fertilizer in the agricultural production team is unlimited, and Nanhua currently has almost no large chemical companies, so from the beginning Hans aimed at the fertilizer market in Nanhua.

Even in the face of equally powerful giants, Hans is confident that BASF will have at least half of the market share.

It is Hans' first strategic investment in BASF. If the investment in Nanhua is successful, it will soon establish itself as BASF.

Hans thought to himself, he had not yet imagined that the current terrible situation in Germany could bring BASF back to life, and the only way to move forward was overseas.

"By the way, you told me to keep BASF's ** nature and not adulterated with our company, I think this may be a bit of a problem."

Hans said solemnly, he looked at Situ Nan, and had some doubts in his heart: Situ Nan didn't seem to like Faben very much.

Originally formed in 1904 by three large chemical companies, Akfa, Bayer and BASF, Farben was founded in 1904 and is headquartered in Frankfurt am Main.

In World War I, the Casela Company, the Griesheim Electronic Chemical Plant, the Weller Chemical Plant, the Kahler Company, and the Hirst Company joined one after another, completely monopolizing the first supply in Germany, and it was in the limelight for a while, and it can be said that it is the standard oil company of the German chemical industry.

Interestingly, Contzeen is a kind of monopolistic organization that is different from Standard Oil, and it should be said that it is a horizontal connection.

Each company in the group maintains the status of the first company, its shares are traded separately, each settles its own profits, but the unified allocation of raw materials for production, monopolizes the German chemical industry market.

After World War I, Germany was defeated, as the first supplier of the German army, Farben was dismembered, and BASF, Bayer and other companies were also sanctioned and plundered. The most valuable synthetic ammonia technology was taken away by Britain, France, the United States and other countries, and Germany's poor economic situation made these hideous chemical companies have no skills to use, and they can't even survive.

In this case, it is not too difficult for Hans, who has returned from the United States with a large amount of money, to infiltrate BASF. And he has the support of Wall Street.

When Hans was about to become the majority shareholder of BASF, his starting point was more in the interests of BASF, and it was normal for him to have objections.

"Tell me what you think." Situ Nan said patiently. He was a little worried that if BASF finally came out, if Hans had to get involved with the people from the original Farben, he might have a place for the war criminals on the Nuremberg trial bench in a few years.

Sure enough, as Situ Nan expected. Hans pondered for a moment and said: "Now that the chemical industry in Germany is in a very bad situation, I am confident that I will lead BASF out of the predicament, but it is difficult to say about other companies." Bayer's U.S. subsidiary is doing well, and their drugs are selling well, so recently Bayer is regrouping and is buying other chemical companies, and they have the support of Wall Street.

I think. BASF should also do something and not watch Bayer expand. ”

"And then?" Situ Nan looked at the ambitious Hans and said in his heart: This kid is not willing to be lonely!

"Someone gave me a better idea. He founded the new Farben based on BASF AG and Bayer AG. I think it's doable. If the German chemical industry is not united, it will certainly not be able to compete with the American and British chemical companies in the world. And the current bad shape also makes it possible to put this idea into practice, the only thing that is needed is more money. ”

Speaking of this, Hans looked at Situ Nan with some expectation, his eyes blazing. His ambitions had already been ignited, and the monopoly of the German chemical industry had endless temptations for him.

Situ Nan stared at Hans, understanding that this kid was looking for money to reorganize the Fa Company, should he refuse him?

Situ Nan hesitated a little and looked at Hans's gray eyes. It seems that there is a kind of flame burning, and finally understands: whether it is Krupp, BASF or the soon-to-be-reborn Farben, they are all closely linked to the fate of Germany, and in essence they are all serving the interests of Germany, so even if it is not Hans, there will be other people who will come out to reorganize Farben!

Follow the established historical trajectory. Farben also financed the Nazi Party, supported and benefited from German industry, and eventually became the world's most horrific killing factory, which is not changed by Situ Nan's wishful thinking.

And BASF, as an important member of Farben, may eventually be destroyed by the arms companies such as Giant, Krupp, and Bethlehem that it has built. And American GIs are nothing more than users of weapons.

Left hand to right hand? What an irony! However, in any case, it is not yourself who is proud?

Thinking of the scene twenty years later, Situ Nan was faintly excited.

"Mr. William? Are you listening? Hans saw that Situ Nan was distracted, so he reminded.

"It's fine." Situ Nan looked at Hans and smiled slightly. "Now BASF is in charge, you have your opinions, and I respect you. However, that's a long-term thing, so let's focus on cleaning up BASF's internal work. Situ Nan admonished.

"Hmm." Hans nodded, Situ Nan was right, the reorganization of the Fa Company was a relatively long-term matter, and he just told Situ Nan about this idea in advance.

From Hans's mouth, Situ Nan learned that it was a chemical engineer from BASF who encouraged Hans to reorganize the company, the famous Karl Brown. Dr. Bosch.

It was Dr. Haber who invented the technology of synthetic ammonia, but out of conscience, Dr. Haber no longer studied ** technology, and was invited by William University in the United States to become a university professor.

The large-scale application of ammonia synthesis technology to industrial production is Dr. Bosch, who can be said to be the soul of BASF, so he has a high status in BASF.

"Can I get to know that Dr. Bosch?" Situ Nan asked.

"Of course." Hans said with a smile, knowing that Situ Nan was tempted by Faben's affairs, and couldn't help but be excited.
