When they met again, Situ Nan warmly welcomed the Krupp father and son, and said with a cheerful smile: "Congratulations to Mr. Krupp for winning the steel project of Nanhua in Palembang. ”

"Hmm. It's a mutually beneficial business for both parties, isn't it? ”

Gustav was neither humble nor arrogant, and secretly looked at Cheese Nan. If it weren't for Marx? Bauer reminded him that he did not yet know how important the young man in front of him was to the revival of the Krupp company.

I felt that there was more kindness in the eyes of this Krupp family, and Situ Nan didn't put on a show, and he spoke kindly, and began to talk and laugh.

However, stereotypical Germans sometimes can't understand Situ Nan's humor, and after Situ Nan talked nonsense, he lightly said: "I heard that the situation in Germany is very bad now?" Mr. Krupp, why not simply transfer the industry to South China. Foreign investment is very welcome, especially for giants like Krupp. ”

Welcome foreign investment? Gustav felt a little greasy in his heart, in the steel plant project in Palembang, Krupp was slaughtered by the South Chinese, although Krupp was also willing, but the South China was a little greasy.

Gustav was a little hesitant about whether to transfer the industry to South China, in which he preferred South America, where there are more Germans, and South America and other countries have always had good relations with Germany.

However, the potential of South China is not small, and there are a large number of pro-German forces in the South China Army, and they are willing to promote cooperation with South China. Even if Krupp does not want to, there are other German companies that will enter South China. Gustav is very clear about this, but these South Chinese are not easy to deceive. Their insight is much better than that of their native governments.

Before. Krupp Tong Guò provided equipment to the Qing government in exchange for a large amount of silver and countless minerals, now this trick is not good for South China, South China needs German technology more, they are more willing to buy production equipment, rather than continue the "build is better than buy, buy is not as good as rent" set.

Gustav was a little wary of Nanhua's ambitions because of Western prejudices, but the cruel reality forced him to trade German technology and equipment for Nanhua's resources.

"Mr. Krupp, what are you thinking?" Situ Nan saw that Gustav was distracted, and reminded softly.

"I'm sorry. I just thought of the German domestic shape shì. I'm distracted. Gustav sneered.

"Understood." Situ Nan nodded, and said with some sympathy: "The French are so barbaric, they dare to go to Eisen City to spread wild, it is estimated that they will cause a lot of losses to Mr. Krupp, right?" ”

Situ Nan looked at Gustav with a sad face. But in his heart, he gloated and laughed.

"You know about Eisen City too?" Gustav looked at Situ Nan in surprise.

The city of Essen is the headquarters of the Krupp company, and the industrial city with a population of hundreds of thousands almost revolves around the Krupp company.

Just yesterday, Gustav received a telegram from home that the French had demolished a steel mill in Krupp, which made him so angry that he couldn't sleep all night, and the joy of the multimillion-dollar order he had just received from Nanhua was immediately gone.

"I've always been concerned about the situation in Europe. My agent just told me the sad news. ”

Situ Nan said lightly, looking at Gustav, who was silent with a frowning forehead, and said again. "Germany is not a good place to invest in industry right now, and German industry is bound to move out in large numbers.

Britain, France, the United States, and even Italy have their own spheres of influence, and they will not lightly allow German industrial products to enter their markets, so German industry has only three directions: South America, the Soviet Union, and the Eastern world represented by South China. ”

Speaking of which, Situ Nan paused, took a sip of red wine, saw that Gustav was attracted to him, smiled slightly, and continued: "South America is a good choice, but under the fierce competition of British and American capital. At most, part of the South American market will fall into your hands, but it will not be able to meet the huge industrial development of Germany.

I have never seen that the huge market and abundant raw materials of the Soviet Union are necessary for Germany, and if it were me, I would not refuse to cooperate with the Soviets because of hatred. But there were two drawbacks to working with the Soviets. First, it will be ostracized by the Western world, and may even make Germany red. The second is to raise tigers for trouble and cultivate a strong opponent for yourself.

So, my advice is to cooperate with the Soviet Union to a limited extent. Of course, the current political turmoil in the USSR remains to be seen whether it will enter the USSR. ”

After speaking, Situ Nan folded his hands and looked at Gustav with interest.

His words reached Gustav's heart, and Gustav groaned, nodded, and sighed: "Our situation is very difficult, and we have to look at other people's faces everywhere. Alas, Germany is going to fall to such a state! If it were industrial power, the British and the French would not be our opponents at all, but—"

Gustav was right that Britain and France had huge colonies, as well as huge German reparations, which allowed their industrial products to gain markets and raw materials lightly, while German industry had to move forward in hardship, and at a higher price it could open up what others had obtained lightly.

"By the way, what about Nanhua? You haven't explained the prospects for German industry to invest in South China? Gustav asked again. He looked at Situ Nan respectfully, what he said just now was not something that could be said by just one person.

"Nanhua? The advantages of South America and the USSR have been combined, so is it necessary to say? Not to mention that South China and Europe are separated by half a world, even a relatively strong South China will not affect Germany's interests, on the contrary, your old enemies Britain and France will be threatened by South China! I guess Gustav, you're not going to refuse this result, are you?

If Krupp is still hesitant to cooperate more thoroughly and deeply with South China, you will miss a lot of things. For example, I have heard that Jewish bankers in Germany are constantly playing out the myth of capital.

It's really hard to believe that, in addition to a few powerful companies such as Krupp, all walks of life in Germany, such as steel, coal, newspapers, grain, shipping, tobacco and alcohol, have been controlled by Jewish bankers.

Krupp will soon be next, right? ”

Situ Nan said with a smile. looked at Gustav, whose face was gradually darkening. One can't help but sympathize with the German entrepreneur.

The German economy was already in ruins, and Situ Nan hoped that Krupp would take the initiative to transfer the industry to South China instead of doing it himself.

"It seems that sir, you really know a lot about the shape of Germany, so I came to Nanhua thousands of miles away to find a way out for the Krupp company."

Gustav sighed with emotion that in the face of Situ Nan, he felt that his status was getting lower and lower, and he also knew what Situ Nan was thinking.

"If Krupp moves its core industries to South China, will we get any concrete benefits?" Gustav asked.

"Dollars!" Situ Nan said confidently.

He is right, what Germany lacks most now is the dollar. After the French invaded the Ruhr. The Weimar government in Germany simply gambled and issued currency indiscriminately, and the banknote printing factories throughout the country printed money day and night, and the exchange rate of the Deutsche Mark against the United States was already as low as an outrageous 500. 000,000:1, and it is far from the end, the Deutsche Mark is still depreciating wildly.

If Situ Nan was right, by the end of the year, by the time France withdrew, the exchange rate of the Deutsche Mark against the dollar had fallen by 4,200,000,000,000:1.

In the case of the collapse of the German economy, even if Situ Nan waved a dollar in his hand, it made Gustav's heart move.

Hearing the word dollar, Gustav had more expectation in his eyes, and looked at Situ Nan with blazing eyes. As if looking at God, he licked his saliva and continued to listen to Situ Nandao-

"To tell you the truth, my agent is in the process of acquiring industry in Germany, and we already have some shares in some large industrial groups.

For example, BASF. Although I can't lead BASF at the moment, and I don't have that will, I should have no problem bringing BASF to South China.

Krupp is also one of my targets, but now that you're here, you don't have to trouble me to fight with Faben. Huh, what do you think? ”

Situ Nan said with a smile. His smile made Gustav a little eerie. couldn't help but goosebumps rose, but he didn't expect that Faben was going to buy Krupp Company and such a secret thing Situ Nan knew it clearly.

Farben is financed by its subsidiaries in the United States, and in fact from Wall Street banks, and its power is so overwhelming that there is very little they can get in Germany that they can't get what they want.

"You know Farben too?" Gustav asked tentatively.

"Of course. It was the most horrific death company in the world. It is even more terrifying than the companies such as Bethlehem and DuPont that people are pointing to. Situ Nan said with a smile.

"BASF was once a target of Farben, but I sabotaged it. I borrowed a sum of money from BASF. Helping them through the crisis, they also took a small stake in BASF, so that BASF's original shareholders could continue to control the company. Of course, Farben also has a significant stake. ”

Situ Nan explained.

BASF is a container for him to absorb German chemical talents, how can he let Farben swallow lightly. In the same way, Stuart hopes that Krupp will become the second BASF company in steel machinery.

"Oh. I see. Gustav looked at Situ Nan, and he couldn't find a suitable word to describe the other party in his heart.

"I would also like to work with Krupp, and if I can talk about it, I will persuade Wall Street to support German industry on a large scale, and Krupp will definitely be on the list. I will also use my influence to persuade the U.S. government to put pressure on the French government to withdraw its troops. What do you think? ”

When Situ Nan said this, he looked at Gustav calmly.

"Is that true?"

Gustav was pleasantly surprised.

"Of course!" Situ Nan nodded.

Of course, what he said about Wall Street's support for German industry is inevitable, and even if he doesn't open his mouth, Wall Street will do the same. Now open your mouth in advance, so that you can sell the Krupp family a favor.

Since Gustav pointed out that he was looking for himself, he should have a certain understanding of himself.

"You're—" Although Gustav had expected it, he couldn't help but be surprised when he heard Situ Nan's tone. He didn't expect that the foreign aid he was looking for would appear in front of him.

Could he be the hope of Krupp's rebirth?

Gustav looked at Situ Nan without speaking, he was so excited that it was difficult to describe his emotions.

He knows a lot about the William Consortium, but the relationship between Situ Nan and the William Consortium is not very clear, because Situ Nan has not come forward for many things, and has been hiding behind his back, and Gustav doesn't know him even if he hears the name.

"I have a lot of properties under my name, and I rarely go to Europe to forage for food. Robles? Mellon, Hantec? Brown: They're all my partners, my wife is from the Mellon family, and your father-in-law you should know -- Andrew? Mellon. However, I don't have to be attached to the Mellon family. Maybe you can call me Stoney? William. Situ Nan said with a rebellious face.

He now has the strength to look down on the down-and-out Junker aristocrat in front of him, Krupp, and he wants to tell Sù Gustav clearly that it will be good to cooperate with me obediently. Lao Tzu is the one who came to save you! Otherwise, Lao Tzu will rob it with his own hands, and there is no pressure to rob Krupp's assets.

Gustav swallowed, calmed the excitement in his heart, and asked weakly, "Well, Mr. William, can you provide me with a loan of $5 million, even if it's $3 million!" ”

This guy is really going to climb up the pole, Situ Nan thought to himself, and asked lightly, "Reason?" ”

"In order to keep the assets of the Krupp company, the mark is now depreciating greatly, and I lack foreign currency, otherwise I would not be able to fight the Jewish bankers. They're all a bunch of guys who don't spit out bones. ”

Gustav gritted his teeth.

What he said was the truth, and it was the time when Jewish bankers were most comfortable in Germany, brandishing dollars and pounds to buy the factory banks that the Germans had worked so hard to run. If you walk the streets of Berlin for a few dollars, you can live a life of fairy luxury.

"What about the return?" Situ Nan asked.

"For the friendship of the Krupp family, we will pay more than international interest." Gustav Road.

"No!" Situ Nan shook his head, he didn't need any bullshit friendship of the Krupp family, it was better to have something real. If history had not changed, more than 20 years later, he would have been able to get a good impression of the Germans.

Gustav looked at Situ Nan's almost cold expression, and said in his heart: It seems that it is not possible to have some blood.

"I can allow the stake in Krupp to be set aside, but the stake does not affect the controlling position of the Krupp family." Gustav gritted his teeth.

He had an idea in his heart that it would be better to cheapen Situ Nan than to cheapen those Jews, and if Situ Nan became a shareholder of Krupp Company, not only could he provide sufficient funds, but it would also be a kind of protection for Krupp Company. Of course, the premise is that the Krupp company is in the hands of the Krupp family.

"Stake in Krupp?" Situ Nan glanced at Gustav and met the other party's clear eyes, his fingers tapping lightly on the edge of the table.

To be able to make himself an outsider a shareholder, Gustav did make a big concession, and it was really difficult for him, an xenophobic German.

Situ Nan sighed in his heart, he probably understood Gustav's thoughts.
