The news of the discovery of a super-iron ore in Western Australia by Lin Youde's Vale caused a new cult of personality frenzy in German society.

Interestingly, the newspaper media directly controlled by Lin Youde were very restrained in this process, because Lin Youde did not mark the propaganda level of this matter, and he did not want to use this matter to make any articles.

But the non-governmental newspapers that were not under Lin Youde's direct control began to sing praises to Lin Youde, especially those who had gained a lot of practical benefits from Lin Youde's reforms, and they all showed that they were even more excited than Lin Youde's employees, and these reporters and editors all sang praises to Lin Youde on the pages of the newspapers they controlled.

And those who are on the opposite side of Lin Youde and the relatively neutral class are also engaged in singing praises this time, and the reason is related to Lin Youde's previous actions.

After building up a huge manufacturing consortium through mergers, Lin Youde completely redeemed the shares of his companies with paper marks and gold, and then used administrative means to get the trading cards of these companies to be removed from several major exchanges in Germany. Now Lin Youde's enterprises, from Lufthansa to Junkers to Rheinland Maschinenfauna, are all wholly owned by him.

The same is true for Vale, which has just discovered iron ore.

The German financial capitalists desperately hoped that Lin Youde would reissue shares so that they could share in the dividends of these enterprises, and they could not understand why Lin Youde would give up the stock market, an excellent channel for obtaining funds.

Of course, they didn't know that Lin Youde was just practicing an idea he had before he crossed over.

Before the crossing, Lin Youde was always thinking, is it really necessary for the stock financial market to exist? The stock market can indeed play a role in pooling the scattered funds in the society and investing them in reproduction, and it can also change the distribution of social wealth to a certain extent, but the stock market has also given rise to a series of drawbacks.

For example, the financial predators do not produce goods themselves, and they generate little value other than amassing wealth.

As for the bankers, originally the bank was only an auxiliary institution in the circulation of means of production and commodities, but in Lin Youde's time and space, the bank had become an invisible hand used by those standing at the top of the social pyramid to accumulate wealth and exploit it.

Lin Youde felt that finance had been overdeveloped, so after crossing over, he wanted to try to curb the development of finance, extract the original function of the financial industry, and then eliminate those unwanted parts.

Removing one's own industrial alliance from the financial markets is only the first step in this idea.

In Lin Youde's original time and space, there were also some enterprises that refused to be maverick in the financial market, but in that time and space, if a company did not use the financial market to raise funds, its development speed would be seriously affected. For example, Lao Gan Ma, a famous chili sauce manufacturer, refused to go public, although Lao Gan Ma has been making a profit, but the speed of production expansion and the rate of seizing the market have not been comparable to its opponents.

Therefore, in that time and space, it is unthinkable not to use the financial market, and your company must face strong pressure from rivals who have much more money than you, and you will not be able to escape the end of merger or bankruptcy without any ability.

But in this time and space, Lin Youde controlled the Deutsche Foreign Exchange and Investment Bank, which controlled the right to issue currency and exchange foreign exchange, and he did not have to worry that his company did not have the funds to expand production, even if his opponent concentrated all the idle funds in Germany through the stock market, he could not beat the Deutsche Foreign Exchange and Investment Bank.

Lin Youde's current status in Germany is equivalent to that of the chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of the former American imperialists.

Therefore, the enterprises under his name have the capital to throw away the financial market and play by themselves.

Thinking about it from another angle, if a company can get as much as it wants, it seems that it does not need to issue shares anymore.

Lin Youde did this, others were naturally dissatisfied, and everyone felt that if Lin Youde's company issued shares, the stock price would definitely soar, and they were all waiting to buy stocks to appreciate and make money. No one thought that when most people who own stocks think it's time to sell their shares and take the money and leave, there will be unlucky people who will pay for the diving stock price.

In short, those who are dissatisfied with Lin Youde's "eating alone" are now taking advantage of singing praises to think that Lin Youde should issue shares so that everyone can get a share of his profits.

When these people found out that Lin Youde had no intention of reissuing shares at all, they stopped singing the praises of Lin Youde and began to criticize him with a turn of their pen.

But by this time, a kind of fanaticism had formed in the whole of Germany, and Lin Youde's reputation was far higher than when he carried out economic reforms before the civil war and played the magic of turning paper into money.

These media outlets, which suddenly changed their attitudes, were all spurned by the masses, and their circulation plummeted for a time.

At this time, an interesting phenomenon happened: in addition to a few die-hard newspapers that had been saying bad things about Lin Youde, some other wall-riding newspapers suddenly turned to praise Lin Youde and everything in his name, because only in this way could the newspapers be sold.

As for those commercial tabloids that have no background and rely on all kinds of sensational reports and serialized novel-hunting novels for a living, they even make up all kinds of Lin Youde's great deeds without discipline to cater to the tastes of readers.

For example, a tabloid newspaper, mainly published in Munich, claimed that their reporter went to the Ming Empire and interviewed Lin Youde's hometown, saying that Lin Youde was a child prodigy. At that time, he was sent to a hotel as a junior apprentice, at first he was only in charge of boiling water, and it didn't take long for him to become the "big foreman" in charge of the front desk of the entire hotel - it seems that this tabloid is quite dedicated, and found a Chinese to understand the situation, and coined the term "big foreman" based on the word "big treasurer".

Lin Youde laughed dumbly when he saw this newspaper, and complained that there was a frequent guest in the hotel who liked to ask people how to write fennel beans......

I didn't expect this tabloid report to be serialized - probably because I saw that the sales were bullish after the previous article, and I tasted the sweetness. The second report Lin Youde urinated directly: the report said that when Lin Youde was the chief foreman, a regular customer in the store was hung up and beaten by the big nobles in the town for stealing books......

Later, Lin Youde specifically asked international students about it, and found that there was also a "Brother Xun" in the world here, and he also wrote a novel called Kong Yiji.

Then Lin Youde checked the works of "Brother Xun" here, and found that there have been some changes related to Yingzhou, some changes have taken place in relation to the revolution, and other works that reflect people's livelihood and social conditions have not changed.

Because of this, Lin Youde saw in the third report of the tabloid how he comforted the poor woman whose child was taken away by wolves......

Lin Youde really wanted to meet the Chinese who provided the material for the tabloid in person, but now as long as he left Sanssouci Palace, his every move would be closely watched, so he finally dismissed this idea.

Lin Youde's personal popularity has also affected the Germans' perception of China. When the Lunar New Year was approaching in 1933, Lin Youde, like the year before, began to celebrate the New Year in Sanssouci Palace, but he did not expect that in Potsdam City next to Sanssouci Palace, the people also began to spontaneously celebrate the Lunar New Year.

Of course, the people of Potsdam did this not only because of Lin Youde's personal prestige and the influence of Chinese culture, but also for practical reasons.

The current inhabitants of Potsdam City usually work in the factory barracks around Sanssouci Palace, some of them are simply factory workers, and many more usually provide services for these industries, such as transportation, cleaning, and so on. As soon as the factories and barracks are on holiday, they are also on holiday, anyway, they are all holidays, why not follow the joy.

So at the same time as Sanssouci Palace was lit up, the city of Potsdam was also lit up, with lanterns and couplets everywhere.

The lanterns are not bad, the Germans look like the ones they saw at Sanssouci last year, and the couplets are full of tricks.

For example, couplets, where do the Germans know how to write this thing, Chinese characters and everything are copied from things that can find Chinese characters, and some of them picked up the surnames of the generals from the banners of the Ming army in the pictorial and put them together in a piece, and put together a pair of family names and pasted them on the door; Some people don't know where they got a photo of a Chinese port, and then the left side of the door is posted "Handle it carefully", and the right side is pasted "This side is on the road".

These strange couplets made the fox who ran on the street after the transformation laughed, and the illusion collapsed to reveal its ears and big tail, and it also caused a lot of commotion.

After returning, the fox forcibly pulled Lin Youde out of the city and wrote couplets to the people of Potsdam.

Lin Youde's writing was so sour that he couldn't decide to let the printing house print couplets on temporary plates, and finally let the whole of Potsdam have a fairly normal couplet.

But...... The couplet uses decent printing words, which still makes people feel weird.

In contrast, window grilles are much more normal, and the Germans learned the artistic style of window grilles and carved a lot of window grilles themselves - they don't know how to cut them at all, so they use a small hydraulic press to press the paper after carving the mold, and "cut" out a stack of them. The craftsman in charge of carving the mold has a good technique, and the artistic style of imitating the window flower is quite similar, but the things he painted are very unbelievable.

Chinese window flowers are either not words, or all kinds of auspicious things, such as fat children, fish and the like, as well as zodiac animals, there are also butterflies, flowers and plants. The Germans' window grilles, what houses, cars, mills, churches, and even portraits of people on them, how did Lin Youde think something was wrong.

But the Germans just like it.

The most popular ones are airplane window grilles and fox portrait window grilles.

As for Lin Youde's portrait window grille, the masses said that it was too disrespectful to post the window, so no one wanted it.

This made the fox very depressed for a while - it seemed that she could be stuck to the window.

Lin Youde comforted her and said that the crowd might treat her as a door god-like existence.

Then the fox was even more upset.

"I'm a sexy goddess! How can you treat me as a door god! The fox said this, and Lin Youde just laughed.
