On the whole, Krupp's cousin satisfied Situ Nan, helped Nanhua build steel mills and shipyards, and promised to help Nanhua recruit workers in Germany.
It's a win-win partnership: Krupp has benefited a lot, and Nanhua is expected to be able to build a small steel industry in five years after spending a lot of money and countless valuable petroleum, rubber and other materials.
"By the way, Mr. Wilhelm, you said you would use your influence to persuade Wall Street to aid German industry, I don't know—" Gustav asked suddenly, looking at Situ Nan expectantly.
"Of course. My agent is in talks with Mr. Schacht. Mr. Schacht, you should know, right? ”
Situ Nan said with a smile.
Schacht was a key figure in Germany's rise, hailed as a financial genius who opened Pandora's box, and it was he who persuaded Wall Street to invest a lot of money in Germany to make the rise of German industry possible.
Later, the Nazi Party came to power, and Schacht gave a lot of money behind it, so it can be said that without Hitler, there would still be the Third Reich, but without Schacht, there would be no possibility of the rise of Germany.
Now that Germany's poor finances are being sorted out by Schacht, Gustav has to believe Stuart's burning mention of negotiations with Schacht.
"That's so thankful." Gustav said, originally he was a little hesitant to transfer Krupp's best technology to Nanhua, but after hearing Situ Nan's assurance, he secretly came to a conclusion.
"Huh. The current shape of the German shì is indeed sympathetic. In order to solve the problem of currency abuse, Mr. Schacht was prepared to issue new marks as collateral for productive land, in exchange for the current depreciating marks. Do you think it's feasible? Situ Nan smiled at Gustav.
"Secured with productive land? That's bad enough! Maybe that's the only thing Germany can get its hands on at the moment, right? Gustav said with some sarcasm.
Situ Nan nodded, this idea is very genius and tear-jerking. His agent, Hans, was negotiating with Schacht in Berlin, and at the same time was negotiating with secret Wall Street businessmen.
They are negotiating a solution to the current poor financial order in Germany, and the only thing they have to wait for is the withdrawal of French troops.
However, the French still occupy the Ruhr area, and the desperate Weimar government has no choice but to print money desperately, to put it bluntly. It is to break the jar and break it, and wait for Britain and the United States to make a move to France, otherwise Germany that has lost the Ruhr area will simply be no different from redness.
The story behind this is probably clear to the Krupp family!
Situ Nan looked at Gustav with a sad and angry face and thought to himself.
"Forget it. Let's talk about our cooperation! Gustav smiled bitterly and returned to investing in South China.
Previously, Situ Nan's words reminded him that the most valuable thing about Krupp is not the seemingly advanced technology in his hands now, but a large number of excellent German technicians behind it.
He believes that in Nanhua, Krupp's technical talents can still make greater breakthroughs in cooperation, otherwise I am in my hands. There was no condition to continue the research, and in the end it was quickly overtaken by others.
Gustav was impressed by the luxury and comfort of the Wilhelm, but he preferred to fly back to Germany immediately and move more industrial equipment to South China, otherwise the longer it went, the French might end up leaving only an empty shell for Krupp.
As for Situ Nan's shareholding in Krupp Company, it was signed on the way back to Europe, and the funds for Krupp's cooperation with Nanhua basically came from Situ Nan's shareholding funds.
To Gustav's satisfaction, Stuart was true to his word. As long as Krupp has a 20% stake in the company, and also agrees that the Krupp family will buy back no more than 15% of the shares from Stuart Nang in the next 20 years.
Other words. In the future, if the Krupp family is willing, they can reduce Situ Nan's stake to 5%, and there is no need to worry about Situ Nan affecting the interests of the Krupp family.
Looking at the black and white words on the contract, Gustav sighed in his heart. With Situ Nan's capital injection, he can return to China and fight with the Jews who are wantonly trying to seize German industry!
Situ Nan wrote his name happily, and in this way, at the most difficult time of the Krupp company, he lightly obtained a part of the shares of the Krupp company.
A bit of a bad thing is that when Krupp was later recognized as a war criminal. As one of the shareholders, he is also somewhat implicated.
The cooperation between Situ Nan and Gustav made He Yongyuan a little puzzled, Situ Nan, who has always been shrewd, gave Germany so much care?
"Young master, this is too cheap for Germans, right? We could just buy the company for a few extra dollars. He Yongyuan said.
"It's not that easy. An industrial giant like Krupp is very difficult for outsiders to swallow, so how could the Germans hand over the country's industrial lifeline to someone else? Their situation is a little more difficult, only temporary. ”
Situ Nan explained. As it now seizes the Krupp company. After a few years, the Germans will kick out the Krupp company, it is better to sell them now, and the future cooperation will be smooth.
Stuart did not intend to learn from the Jews. Although the Jewish capitalists were now able to take control of German companies and banks with ease, the majority of German workers and engineers were Germans, and fundamentally no one could take away the industry of the German people.
When the Germans re-emerged, those Jewish capitalists who had once made waves would sooner or later be torn apart by countless angry Germanys, and the tragedy would spread from a small number of Jewish capitalists to countless ordinary Jews, which was deplorable.
It was with a clear foresight of the future that Stuart did not advocate the robles-like deprivation of German property like other Jews, but rather a more friendly cooperation.
Seeing Situ Nan's confident appearance, He Yongyuan buried it in his heart even though he had some doubts. He was very much in favor of the cooperation between Nanhua and Krupp, but it was too much concession for the joint venture company to give half of its interests to the Germans.
Situ Nan's explanation for this is: "Otherwise, how could the Germans invest hard in South China? Let's look farther, the factories are all on our territory, and when we are strong, it is not a matter of a word or two for the Germans to obediently give up. ”
Situ Nan is holding the intention of using Germany, if history remains unchanged, twenty years later, every German thing in South China will be confiscated by South China, and this kind of thing has not been done!
This is what Situ Nan thinks in his heart, so naturally he can't tell others.
With advanced radios on board the William, Situ Nan could remotely control the strategic investment plans of the William consortium and occasionally worry about the strategic development of South China.
Gustav was not in a good mood, because the situation in Germany worried him. The French invasion of the Ruhr almost made the Germans feel like the sky was about to fall, and it weighed down like a mountain in the hearts of countless suffering Germans.
From time to time, Situ Nan invited Gustav to drink, but every time he saw this patriotic German with a faint sadness on his face, he always felt a little defeated.
"Don't worry, my friend. A qiē will be fine. In any case, Britain and the United States will not watch Germany fall, and the more arrogant the French, the more support you Germans will receive. ”
Situ Nan comforted.
The French invasion of the Ruhr area in Germany was a violation of international treaties, and this barbaric act was severely condemned by various political groups in Britain and the United States, and the French were subjected to tremendous diplomatic pressure.
"Thank you." Gustav nodded, and Situ Nan's words went to his heart.
Didn't the Kingdom of Prussia grow stronger with the support of Britain and Russia? Decades have passed, and it is only the beginning of a new cycle.
This trip allowed Gustav and Situ Nan to receive a deep friendship, Gustav was very grateful for his most embarrassing time, received Situ Nan's help, and when he got off the ship, he also warmly invited Situ Nan to visit Eisen City, but Situ Nan politely declined.
Gustav was a little regretful, but the grim shape made him dare not slack off, and he wanted to implement the cooperation agreement with Nanhua as much as possible, and transfer Krupp's machine equipment and technical personnel to Nanhua.
This is a huge plan, including steel, shipbuilding, railways, artillery, submarines and many other projects, the late Qing Dynasty diplomat, South China Minister to Germany Qian Sui set up an office in Eisen City, to provide meticulous services for the transfer of Krupp to South China.
At the same time, the company also sent senior affairs officials to Germany to liaise with German companies such as Krupp and other German companies and cooperation projects in South China...... Before you know it, July 1923 is a warm and comfortable season, but walking on the streets of Berlin makes people feel a chill to the bone.
Friedrichstraße is still bustling, with its fine restaurants and hotels, frequented by pot-bellied Jewish and foreign businessmen who are shiny, well-dressed, enjoying haute cuisine and good music.
These people don't use the mark, the mark is devalued, except for the poor Germans, no one else will go shopping with a big bag of the mark.
"The dollar is really good here! Money old! Situ Nan smiled and looked at the kind old man in front of him - Qian Sui, the minister of South China to Germany.
"The situation in Germany is really miserable now, the consequences of inflation are really too severe, you look at those people outside." Qian Sui sighed with compassion.
At the end of the Qing Dynasty, he was ambassador to the Netherlands, and how invincible the Germans were then, but now they are ??????
Situ Nan looked up, the street outside, it was time to get off work, and a group of people suddenly rushed into the bread shop opposite, they were holding a bag of thick banknotes in their hands, only in exchange for a thin piece of bread, when they walked out of the door, almost every face showed a painful look, looked back at the long queue that was frantically pouring into the store, his face immediately became a little happy, he clenched the precious bread tightly, and walked away quickly.
"Is it like this every day here?" Situ Nan turned his head and looked at Ambassador Qian Sui with a faint sadness on his face. (To be continued) RQ
