Volume III Aftermath 57 Lessons for the Dutch

After Xinhai, industrial salvation became the mainstream of society at that time, and many advanced elements saw the hope of China's rise from the great prosperity of foreign industry and commerce, and they followed the example of foreign countries and began to establish various enterprises.

Sun Yat-sen also entered the business industry after resigning as interim president and founded several companies. Although Sun himself had little talent in management, and the company he founded did not live long, it can also be seen that the enthusiasm of the Chinese national capitalists to save the country was high at that time.

A large number of Nanyang Chinese businessmen returned to China to invest, which was also influenced by the trend of industrial salvation at that time, and the Nanyang Tobacco Company founded by the Jian Zhaonan brothers in Shanghai was one of the representatives.

This was the second venture of the Jane brothers, as early as 1905, they founded the Guangdong Nanyang Tobacco Company in Hong Kong, but unfortunately it did not manage well, and the company collapsed only three years later. After the auction and reorganization, the Jane brothers, with the support of their uncle Jian Mingshi, started their business again and renamed the company Guangdong Nanyang Brothers Tobacco Company.

There is really no difference in the name, people are still used to calling Nanyang Tobacco Company, but after the company name added the word brother, it seems that good luck came, the tobacco company developed well, and in the favorable environment of advocating domestic products, Nanyang Tobacco became a brand in the national cigarette industry.

Nanyang Tobacco's success is not only due to the favorable social environment for promoting domestic products, but also because of the efforts of the Jane brothers. Nanyang Tobacco carries the ideals of the Jane Brothers, who made the company their life's work.

After the company's accident, Jian Zhaonan left his brother Jian Yujie to preside over the work in Shanghai, and rushed to Nanyang non-stop to find help.

Unscrupulous consumers were deceived into calling Nanyang Tobacco a profiteer, and they began to switch to other ethnic cigarette brands or re-smoke British American Tobacco cigarettes.

Many ethnic capitalists in Shanghai are no longer optimistic about Nanyang Tobacco Company, and some shareholders who have just become shareholders have clamored for the withdrawal of their shares, and most people do not think that Nanyang Tobacco Company has had such a serious crisis and can survive the suppression of British American Tobacco.

Jian Zhaonan still remembers the scene not long ago when he left Shanghai worriedly, but fortunately he can finally take a breath now.

Withdraw as much as you divest, and withdraw as much as possible. Those who are weak-willed and cannot share weal and woe are not qualified to stay in Nanyang Tobacco Company, and you will regret it in the future

Jian Zhaonan looked back at the William moored in the harbor, and turned his head to get into the car.

"Boss, did you succeed?" The driver asked. The driver is Jian Zhaonan's cronies, who have worked in Jian's family for many years, and this time Jian Zhaonan came to Nanyang, so he only took him.

Zhao Nan responded, remembering the agreement he had just signed on the William, and he was overwhelmed with emotion. Nanyang Tobacco Company is still under its own control, but its owner has become Meihua Company.

I hope his promise is effective, Jian Zhaonan sighed in his heart, when he got off the ship, he got Situ Nan's promise, Nanyang Tobacco Company did not have a heavy strategic problem, Meihua Company trusted Jane's, the company is still managed by Jane's, and at the same time, when expanding shares in the future, Jane's can give priority to buying new shares, Meihua Company guarantees not to fight with Jane's, and Jane's can buy back the company's shares from Meihua Company in this way, provided that Jian Zhaonan wants Nanyang Tobacco Company to operate again.

Situ Nan's words were a test, which put a lot of pressure on Jian Zhaonan, and at the same time made him see hope. Meihua Company gave Jian Zhaonan a lot of support, in addition to the funds urgently needed by Nanyang Tobacco Company, there are also production technology, sales channels, and even armed defense, and in the future, the security guards of Meihua Company can deal with those ruffians and hooligans, which is much easier than Jian Zhaonan to deal with it himself.

To Jian Zhaonan's relief, he could also get tobacco leaves from Cuba and other Latin American regions from the Meihua Company to produce high-end cigars.

Nanyang Tobacco will not only not fall, but will also expand its product range and compete with British and American companies in the premium cigarette market.

After receiving the capital injection from Meihua Company, Jian Zhaonan hurried back to Shanghai. Soon after he left, Situ Nan was inspired by it and decided to invest in the development of flavors.

Flavor technology is the biggest advantage of British American Tobacco, they can add different formulations of flavors to cigarettes to produce different flavors to meet the various tastes of smokers.

This is the so-called mastery of the core technology, Nanyang Tobacco Company wants to really compete with the British American Tobacco Company, it can't always rely on sensationalism, the patriotic card is played too much, and it can't do without its own unique technology.

Situ Nan would not tell Jian Zhaonan about the study of flavors for the time being, and he handed over this project to the Giant Shi Yàn Room.

In addition to the production of cigarettes, flavors are mainly used in daily chemical products, which is the real big market. Although Situ Nan has not yet acquired Procter & Gamble, he has already valued the Japanese chemical market very early. Even if you can't make a fortune from the acquisition of Procter & Gamble and the production of flavors through guò in the future, you can still make a lot of money??????

The queen of dog day, whether it is the queen of England or the queen of the Netherlands, is the same dog day

The interests of the Minas oil field touched the nerves of the United States, Britain and the Netherlands, and in order to compete for Dutch and Indian oil, the Dutch finally tore off their faces and introduced an exclusive policy to restrict American oil companies from entering the Dutch and Indian regions for oil exploration and exploitation.

When the news came back to the United States, American oil companies jumped up. Andrew told Stuart that Rockefeller not only agreed to participate in the counteraction organized by their son-in-law, but also said that Rockefeller would teach the Netherlands a hard lesson.

The Dutch only cared about the Dutch and Indian oil, and could not understand how important the Dutch and Indian oil resources were to Rockefeller.

With the advantage of capital and technology, Mobil Oil and Exx Petroleum Company, which are controlled by Rockefeller, have always been able to enter the oil producing areas that have been successfully explored at a leisurely pace, and then spend a lot of dollars to buy those oil fields.

Mobil Oil and Exx Oil have such a late-mover advantage, they have access to most of the world's largest oil-producing areas, and those small companies and oil merchants have chosen a cooperative attitude when they are unable to fight Mobil Oil. Coupled with the fact that Rockefeller had always offered fair prices, they were willing to sell oil to Mobil Oil.

However, with the emergence of Situ Nan, now that the Western Petroleum Company controls a large amount of oil reserves, and when he can't occupy them all, Situ Nan pulls in the Mellon family, so the oil fields 2000, which was originally sold to Mobil Oil Company by those small businessmen, have now fallen into the hands of Western Petroleum Company and Gulf Oil Company.

Although Situ Nan and Andrew have a good relationship with the Rockefeller family, they have always been very cautious about local Mobil oil companies entering their territory when it comes to oil.

Rockefeller was embarrassed to find that the oil fields he had bought from oil explorers could not match the expansion of Western oil companies, and that a large number of high-yield oil fields in the United States and Venezuela had fallen into the hands of the sons-in-law.

It's not that Rockefeller hasn't thought of other ways, but who can open one quasi-one except Situ Nan?

Now the international oil price has risen to 3 US dollars per barrel, an increase of 50 percent from the end of the war, and the domestic oil production of the United States has begun to keep up with the demand, countless cars have driven off the assembly line, in order to meet these oil eating machines, the American oil companies have been desperately increasing production, but it is only enough to meet the domestic demand.

U.S. oil companies control more than half of the world's oil market, and in addition to the U.S., international markets are also demanding more oil from U.S. oil companies. When Situ Nan proposed to Rockefeller that everyone go to the Netherlands and India to develop oil together, Rockefeller immediately agreed.

The Minas oil field also has a part of Rockefeller, because of the advantage of Mobil oil in the Asian market, in order to win over Rockefeller, Situ Nan promised to sell part of the crude oil produced in the Minas oil field to Mobil Oil Company.

After the news of the successful exploration of the Minas oil field spread a few days ago, the elusion Rockefeller was planning to build an oil refinery at the port of Dumai in Riau Province in central Sumatra, so that the oil produced in Sumatra would be sold to the Chinese market, so that it would not have to be transported all the way from the United States, thus saving a lot of transportation costs. Therefore, Mobil Oil Company is very bullish on Sumatra oil, and they have drawn up a detailed development plan.

Now that the Dutch and Indian governments have introduced restrictions on foreign companies to enter the Dutch and Indian regions, isn't this pouring cold water on Mobil? It is a pleasure to be poured cold water on the scorching South Seas, but in the distant United States, Rockefeller is furious. He wants to teach the Dutch a lesson, so that they know the truth of being a man.

When Rockefeller was furious, Stuart Nan quietly came to Manila. Walked into the Philippine Governor's Mansion and met Governor David? Davis.

David? Davis is a tall fat man who has been in the Philippines for three years. The Philippine mountain is far away from the emperor, and Davis enjoys the life of this kind of soil emperor, pampered and pampered, and he has the final say in everything.

"I am grateful that the Chinese company has been taken care of by the Governor General in the Philippines. The Philippines is thriving under your administration, which is the happiness of the Filipino people, but also the happiness of our merchants, and the outstanding talents of the Governor General are the protective shield of American interests in the South Seas. I have decided to increase my investment in the Philippines in the future to promote the economic development here. Situ Nan said to David.

"Thank you. On behalf of the Philippine colonial government, I would like to thank Mr. Szeto Nan for his generosity, and it is my duty to ensure that American businessmen invest in the Philippines and the South Seas. Davis smiled happily.

Situ Nan's praise greatly satisfied his vanity. In the past few days, the investment of the United States and China in the Philippines has been increasing day by day, especially a series of investments in steel mills, machinery manufacturing plants, lumber yards, agricultural companies, etc., which have greatly promoted the industrial and commercial development of the Philippines and also filled in a brilliant stroke for Davis's political achievements.

Not only that, Davis also took some shares in the industries invested by the Meihua Company and made a lot of money. Therefore, sometimes knowing that some of the US-China companies are going too far, as long as they do not violate the interests of the United States, Davis also turns a blind eye, and sometimes even takes the initiative to participate in them.

Situ Nan and Davis had a good conversation, and when he talked about the policy introduced by the Dutch and Indian authorities to restrict American oil companies, Davis was filled with righteous indignation.

He scolded loudly: "How great do the dog-like Dutchmen think they are, and dare to do it with us Americans? I've already beaten Spain, and I don't care about one more Dutch, I'm going to take the East Indies as well. ”

"Huh." Situ Nan smiled, whether Davis said this on purpose or not, Situ Nan liked this fat man a little.

"It is naturally unlikely that the East Indies will be taken, and there are the British eyeing it next door? It's good for us to have a cushion. But since the Dutch dare to be arrogant, we should suppress him. Didn't the fleet outside come from Hawaii? ”

"That's right. I protested yesterday to the Dutch side on behalf of the Philippine colonial Government. Now that the fleet has come, things are more certain. Davis nodded.

After a long journey, Roosevelt's fleet to Asia arrived in the Philippines.

Situ Nan sat in the Governor's Palace for a while, and the commander of the fleet, Van Gundy, also came. Van Gundy was a stern, unsmiling man, with a straight waist, and his long military career had precipitated in him a prestige to command thousands of troops.

"I have received an order from above to take the fleet to Jakarta in a few days for a friendly visit, accompanied by officials from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Governor and Mr. Stuart Nan may also be represented on our visiting delegation. ”

Van Gundy was serious, and after speaking, he shut up, looking like he cherished words like gold.

Military men are duty-bound to obey orders, and Van Gundy knows that his fleet is for the American oil companies. He had already received an order that if the two sides did not negotiate well, the US fleet would not leave Jakarta for a while.

Situ Nan nodded.

Occidental Petroleum will represent the US oil industry to protest to the Dutch-Indian colonial government against the discriminatory policies of the Dutch and Indian authorities against US companies.

After the meeting, with Van Gundy's permission, Davis and Stuart South visited the American fleet.

The arrival of the home fleet excited Davis, and as a veteran of the Spanish-American War, Davis was extremely proud of the strength of the American fleet.

"It's been amazing. Our American Navy is indeed the strongest in the world. Davis was full of praise.

Situ Nan quietly looked at the battleships moored in the harbor, and the thick barrels of the ships made him feel the power of destroying the world.

"Oh my God, it should have a caliber of more than 300 mm, right? It is almost possible to stuff a person into it, and a shell of hundreds of kilograms can blow up a few tens of meters around. ”

Situ Nan exclaimed, and realized in his heart that there were still many people who were obsessed with battleships when aircraft carriers were popular in the previous life.

How he wished that all those shells would hit the Governor's Palace in Jakarta and make the Dutch crawl out of the.

Van Gundy's mouth curled slightly, and he was a little proud after hearing Situ Nan's exclamation, as if he had seen the Dutch succumbing to his own guns.

Two days later, Situ Nan had the honor of being a member of the Fox Fake Tiger Might, along with the "friendly" visit of the American fleet to Jakarta. However, he did not come forward, and it was Handar Henders, the chairman of Occidental Petroleum on behalf of Occidental Petroleum? Brown.

He made a special trip from the United States, and in addition to ascertaining the oil interests of Western oil companies in Sumatra, he also secretly discussed with Situ Nan the results of his trip to the Middle East.

"Old man, this time you're going to beat the Dutch hard, this kind of showy thing is best for you to get old." Situ Nan smiled at Handa? Brown Road.

"I didn't come here to wipe your ass, I should have thought that as long as you were there, things wouldn't be peaceful. Well, the Dutch are too self-conscious this time. ”

Hantec? Brown scoffed, "By the time I came, we were already in Venezuela and dealing with Shell." Without our consent, Shell Oil will not get a drop of oil, because our pipelines and terminals will never transport crude oil to Shell Oil, and the crude oil we produce will not be sold to Shell Oil again. ”

Hantec? Brown was proud and felt a sense of accomplishment in punitive action against Shell.

Western oil companies have a lot of influence in Venezuela and almost single-handedly control Venezuelan oil. The Venezuelan government is also involved in the crackdown on Shell.

Under the operation of the William Consortium, the Venezuelan government received a concessional loan from the U.S. government to repay the borrowing as it matured.

Now the Gomez family has been tied to the William Consortium, and in addition to oil, steel, transportation, building materials and other aspects are closely related to the companies under the William Consortium.

Almost all of the William's large-scale investment projects in Venezuela have a stake in the Venezuelan government, so Venezuela now has a demand for the William Consortium. At Guedas's suggestion, the Venezuelan government has taken a tacitly laissez-faire approach to Occidental Petroleum Corporation's crackdown on Shell.

The Dutch have declined, and even with the British behind them, in the Americas, Gomez has wisely chosen to side with the Americans in the face of the major American oil companies.

Is there a good time, place and people, Hantec? Brown's suggestion that Shell is not expecting a drop of oil from Venezuela is not an exaggeration.

In the United States, Shell is in an even worse position. The U.S. Petroleum Industry Council, manipulated by Rockefeller, Andrew, and others, explicitly told the Shell Oil Company that if the Netherlands did not allow the U.S. Oil Company to participate in oil development in the East Indies, the United States would take retaliatory measures, and that the Shell Oil Company would no longer be >able to rely on the United States in the future

Situ Nan didn't expect Andrew and Rockefeller to act so quickly, and at the same time as the American fleet arrived in Jakarta, he gave Shell Oil Company a salary draw, which cost the Dutch.

Will the Dutch turn against the United States for the sake of Sumatra oil? This is obviously impossible, Shell has a much larger market in the United States than in the South Seas, and most of its oil fields are located in Texas, USA. If you fall out with the United States for the sake of Sumatra, you will pick up the sesame seeds and lose the watermelon.

"The shrewd Dutch would never be so stupid, they would be completely face-saving or think that the British would give them support. But even the British couldn't stop us. "Handar? Brown said confidently.

"It's good that you have such confidence," Situ Nan smiled. (To be continued.) If you like this work, you are welcome to come to Ning @ Jing # Xiao ¥ said that mobile network subscription, reward, your support is my biggest motivation. )
