It's fourteen years before the Model T, and it's inherently unrealistic to expect Standard Oil's auto factories to reach Ford's capacity. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Whether it is the development prospect of automobiles or the understanding of standardized production, few people in the world can reach Henry? Ford's realm.

In addition to the aesthetic aspect of color, because from 1914 to 1925, at the insistence of this goods, the Ford Model T has always been black!

"You can buy shares in rubber companies in advance, or buy a few companies outright!"

“…… Why? ”

"Because rubber is the main raw material for making car tires!"

"It's free advice, no charge!"

“……!”

After the mass production of automobiles, the premium on rubber alone can reach the authorization fee for the oil master to buy a Model T.

The second-hand young man also has a special technology that he has not let go, which is to prevent the energy giant from unilaterally tearing up the unpaid bills.

Before the twentieth century, only 20% of gasoline could be extracted from crude oil using traditional distillation methods.

In 1913, William? Burton and Robert? Hamfris made improvements to the distillation method.

During its heating, the pressure is increased to "crack" the kerosene into gasoline.

This "pyrolysis" process doubles the smelting efficiency of gasoline and achieves an oil yield of 40%!

Burton was granted a patent for this process, and he was the vice president of Standard Oil!

If Uncle Rockefeller dares to play Lao Tzu and swallow the unpaid $150 million, he will sell this technology to Shell!

The oil industry in the world today is three-legged, namely Standard Oil, Shell Oil, and a Bell Oil in Sweden!

However, everyone's main product is kerosene, mainly because the fancy internal combustion engine has not yet become the qualified heart of the car.

If the energy giant keeps the agreement and pays on time, then everyone will continue to cooperate for mutual benefit.

Otherwise, even if you get a full set of design drawings for the Model T and achieve mass production, Lao Tzu will have a way to cripple you!

Everything is planned for the worst and strives for the best.

In contrast to the American businessmen, who kept their promises, they were completely distrustful of the Spaniards, who had taken over Mexico and Central America.

What they are doing in the Philippines has left the second-hand youth with great uncertainty about their own safety.

If you are a Chinese and hold an American passport, you will be met with extremely strong contempt from the bullfighters.

Even if he could, Frank took his hundreds of men and escorted him to New Spain (Mexico).

It is not excluded that after the discovery of the super oil field, the other party will take despicable means of tearing up the land contract to occupy it.

Before his own strength was strengthened, the chicken decided to stop here, and accept it when he saw it, so as not to end up on the streets.

Get $59 million in cash ($1 million to Frank), plus $150 million in unpaid contracts.

The young man of the second goods was already satisfied, and he asked Chen Jiaxin to register a few companies to facilitate his own products.

Before leaving, Miji also did a great good thing for the broad masses of Americans.

Sanitation was poor in the nineteenth century, and not much better at the beginning of the twentieth century, and health was still a luxury.

An American born in 1900 generally only lives to be about 50 years old, and those born before that will naturally have a shorter lifespan.

The diseases with the highest mortality rates include pneumonia, tuberculosis, enteritis, typhoid fever, etc., most of which are caused by contaminated water and food.

There is an urgent need for a small tablet with antipyretic, analgesic, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic and antiplatelet aggregation effects.

So...... C9H8O4, that is, aspirin, must have become a favorite of pharmaceutical manufacturers!

In 1897, Felix? For the first time, Hoffman synthesized the main substance that makes up aspirin.

A year later, it was put on the market, and on March 6, 1899, an application for an invention for aspirin was approved.

It immediately became a favorite among people with colds and fevers, headaches, joint pain, muscle pain, rheumatic fever, acute internal humid arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and toothache.

As a cash-out expert, time is limited, and you have to exchange this little pill for dollars as soon as possible.

Originally, this was the stuff of the Bayer pharmaceutical factory in Germany, but they needed another product more - sulfonamides!

The sulfonamide that can be antibacterial and anti-inflammatory is version 1.0 of penicillin, and the more powerful penicillin is version 2.0 of sulfonamide!

If the Germanic people, who were about to implement a military expansion strategy, had sulfonamides in advance, the chicken would have wondered what would happen to the world?

The DuPont consortium offered a high price of $8 million, and the chicken did a favor and sold aspirin to Uncle Sam.

This American tyrant also spent $1 million to buy the copyright of the zipper, although the chicken does not even have a patent.

No matter how small the mosquito legs are, they are also meat, and the chicken is not afraid of less money, but afraid that the other party will not know the goods, as long as it is dollars, the more the merrier!

Of course, what is also unexpected is that the mysterious formula of a very certain cola was actually sold for 5 million dollars!

Became the first product to be able to cash in on both planes, thanks to Coca-Cola's secrecy measures!

Fearing that the patent would expire and the formula would have to be made public, the Coca-Cola Company preferred not to register it and keep the recipe secret.

So, he gave the young man of the second cargo a big hole to drill.

In the main time and space, except that the brand cannot be cocated, the recipe of cola is so simple that it is comparable to beef ramen in a certain state.

Put the sign on and say it exaggeratedly, can you tell the difference between Sprite and Big White Pear?

"Nirmapyrene's!" When the chicken saw the content of the newspaper, he immediately became angry and scolded angrily.

Miji sold cars, medicines, cola, and oil fields in the United States, tossing for a month, and cashed out a total of 73 million US dollars.

As a result, there was a "good news of five thunderstorms" from the Middle East, and Japan spent 4 million pounds to buy a county in the Ottoman Empire's Basra province.

At first glance, this is a bit interesting, Japan bought a veritable enclave, but it was not a big deal.

But you have to look carefully at the specific location, that piece of land is the future Kuwait, a place with hundreds of billions of barrels of oil!

Based on Kuwait's oil reserves of only 100 billion barrels, the transfer price per barrel is 0.01 US dollars, and Japan can also get a huge foreign exchange of 1 billion US dollars!

If you really think that Japan will seriously manage the enclave of the Middle East, then it means that you have an amoebic protozoa (an incurable brain-eating worm) in your brain!

There is no doubt that there is a knowledgeable traverser in Japan, comparable to Sima Yi, if he doesn't move, he will only do it, and his shot is a killer move!

The chicken also wants to operate this land, but the obstacles of the Ottoman Empire are too big, so I just think about it.

Unexpectedly, Japan did buy Kuwait, although it also took advantage of the Ottoman Empire's financial difficulties.

Theoretically, there is only one shipment to it, and that is the British Empire, and the energy giants of the United States have been fed by chickens.

The land bought for 5 million pounds (plus 1 million pounds up and down) has hundreds of billions of barrels of black gold buried underneath, and if it is not sold for 50 million pounds, it will be a loss.

Even if it is only sold for this price, it will be a huge amount of money falling from the sky for Japan.

The construction cost of the battleship "Fuji" was only 10.38 million yen, which is equivalent to less than 1.15 million pounds.

For 14 million pounds, you can buy a dozen or 12 battleships "Fuji", and maybe even get a discount!

Because of the strong reserves, even if the Kuwaiti land is finally auctioned for 100 million, or even 200 million pounds, it is possible.

The British government has no money, but the consortium behind it has money, and for the sake of oil, this is not too much.

For example, between 1885 and 1893, the London, Paris, and Frankfurt branches of the Rothschild family jointly issued four Egyptian bonds worth a total of 50 million pounds!

This is by no means an apocryphal, but a well-documented illustration.

In addition to the Suez Canal, pyramids, and mummies, Egypt also has things that Mao can pledge???

Do you know why Brazil, which only exports coffee beans and rubber, can afford to buy that multi-turret Cult battleship?

Because from 1890 to 1914, the Bank of London issued 90 million pounds of bonds for Brazil (the exchange rate of the British pound against the US dollar was 4.86+)!

Between 1873 and 1877, the Rothschilds were also involved in the issuance of a total of £267 million in US bonds.

Historically, in 1894, that is, this year, France and Russia concluded an alliance.

To show this, the Paris Luo family led the financial syndicate, issuing 16 million pounds (400 million francs) of Russian fundraising bonds.

The interest rate is only 3.5%, which is enough to give the allies face!

Worried that His Majesty Nikolai would spend it too quickly, two years later, he issued a fundraising coupon of the same amount, with an interest rate of only 3%!

France and Russia can form an alliance, cash is the driving force, and international financiers are the masterminds.

Otherwise, His Majesty Nikolai II will not be able to afford a few battleships, let alone improving the strength of the Navy.

All of the above are real things that happened, and they are all made up by some unscrupulous fiction author.

Of course, the Luo family is not as divine as "Currency War" said, with tens of trillions of dollars in assets.

In 1899, after the merger of several branches of the Luo family, the total capital was less than 100 million pounds, and the annual profit was only 10 million pounds.

This does not contradict the above figures, the Luo family is only the issuer (brokerage), and many subscribers come from all over the world.

However, tens of millions of pounds in assets are also a lot, which is already comparable to half of the Standard Oil Company, which is the world's largest oil giant.

In the United Kingdom, the Luo family is not alone, and there are several banks with capital equal to it, or even more abundant.

At the moment, the chicken can no longer take care of the legendary Luo family, and Japan is the matter of burning eyebrows.

The young people of the second goods did not know whether the deal between Japan and Britain was negotiated openly or in private.

And I don't know if they have reached an agreement, or if they are in contact, and I have no idea how things are going.

———— Tokyo, Japan, high-level officials attending the Imperial Council are celebrating with crowns......

"The discovery of the Kuwaiti oil field this time is really a holy oracle from His Majesty!" Prime Minister Hirobumi Ito knelt down in congratulations

He expressed strong opposition to the emperor, who was less than 15 years old, insisting on going his own way and borrowing 5 million pounds from Britain to buy land in the Middle East.

He even threatened to resign, but the little emperor was unmoved and insisted on borrowing chips from the British.

His father died of myocardial infarction, this is the overlord of meningitis, as a minister who didn't have time to support Gu, Ito Hirofumi doesn't know what the future holds.

Unexpectedly, everything went very smoothly, the Ottoman Empire was short of money, and it was extremely painful to exchange a county for 4 million pounds in cash.

Both sides of the deal thought that the other was a veritable fool, and even the Japanese people thought their emperor was crazy!

However, what happened next surprised everyone, the Japanese exploration team found 20 billion barrels of oil in Kuwait!

The traverser who has just inherited the throne of the dead ghost daddy - Taro Kojima, that is, Emperor Taisho, waved his hand: "The prime minister has won the award, and he will do his best for the development of the empire, from top to bottom, everyone is responsible!" ”

Foreign Minister Mutsu Munemitsu was negotiating with the British in Kuwait, and the only issue was the transfer fee for the oil field.

Japan's bottom line is 50 million pounds, and if it can be sold for 100 million pounds, it will exceed expectations, and if it is higher, it will naturally be better.

Mutsu Munemitsu is a good friend of Ito Hirobumi, and the prime minister is well aware of his diplomatic communication skills, so he is not worried about negotiations.

Of course, this is only a preliminary contact, and the British side wants to determine the local oil reserves, and the negotiations will last for many days, even last month.

"Your Majesty is a role model for our generation, a model for the empire, and Jeon Min is determined to do his best to fight for the rise of the empire!" Navy Minister Saigo also hopes to make more money on building ships

Although the Combined Fleet already had as many as eight Mikasa-class battleships, and its strength leaped to the top of the world, he was not satisfied.

This is Taro Kojima's natural skill, which can summon the "Mikasa" of later generations and copy it.

The number is limited according to the number of tail numbers each year, for example, in 1893, you can get three, in 1894 you can get four, and so on.

However, it must be a battleship built between 1893 and 1943 and preserved to future generations, and other periods are not included.

Mikasa was the only target that met the system's standards, and Kojima Taro could use it for batch copying.

There is no limit to the number of summoning ships, but this is the only one, and the possessed Taisho can only wait until next year to get a new battleship.

The Mikasa has a displacement of up to 15,000 tons and has two twin 305-mm guns.

The maximum speed can reach 18 knots, and the endurance can reach 7,000 nautical miles/10 knots (the endurance of the British and American models is indeed very high).

Eight ships of the same class lined up and pushed them flat on the sea, and the Beiyang Naval Division was wiped out in an instant.

At present, the United Fleet is facing a huge happiness trouble, that is, the lack of crews!

A Mikasa-class battleship needs more than 800 crews, and in order to drive the entire battleship formation, at least 6,000 people must be recruited!
