Chapter 676: An Unexpected Guest

If you understand the characteristics of the capitalists, you can understand that Franz-Joseph Papp will definitely compromise.

The story is not surprising, Franz-Josef Papu soon handed over all the shares of BMW, and also took the initiative to help Australasia attract German talent.

For Franz-Joseph Pap, the most important thing is to make enough money to keep his company from going bankrupt.

Will Germany lose talent? What does it have to do with him?

The acquisition of BMW is just one part of Australasia's move in Germany. In addition to BMW, Australasia also acquired Maybach cars and Maybach engine plants, car factories such as Porsche cars in May, and so on.

In later generations, these companies are all famous Fortune 500 companies, or high-end enterprises that are very famous in a certain industry.

But now, most of their prices are cabbage prices, and the combined cost of buying these businesses doesn't even exceed $30 million.

In addition to these German companies, Australasia also has gains in other parts of Europe.

Not to mention the lesser-known companies for the time being, the more famous companies include Maserati Cars, Rolls-Royce and Bentley Motors, etc.

Most of these companies were fully acquired, which means they have become an Australasian industry.

The first step in acquiring these properties is, of course, to relocate their headquarters to Australasia.

Among other things, the relocation of these businesses to the jobs provided by Australasia was enough for Arthur to make this happen.

If these companies can develop to the point of future generations, the contribution of these enterprises to the Australasian economy is absolutely immeasurable.

Even Australasia has the potential to become the country with the largest number of Fortune 500 companies in the future, and the tax revenue these companies contribute to the government is enough to make the government rich.

Of course, the royal family is still in charge of the business, and the royal family of Australasia is of course more affluent.

The government gets the taxes, the royal family gets the dividends, and the people get stable and high-income jobs, and Australasia can be described as a triple happiness.

It is worth mentioning that at present, Australasia has acquired the most engine and automobile companies.

In fact, this is also very understandable, first of all, the impact of the economic crisis on automobile companies is relatively large.

Secondly, compared with the important chemical and heavy industries, the automobile industry can also be abandoned by European countries, and the strategic importance of the country is not so important.

Although there were many achievements in the acquisition of automobile companies, Arthur was still a little disappointed.

After all, Arthur most wanted to buy German chemical companies, which would allow Australasia to quickly catch up with Britain and the United States in heavy industry and chemical industry, at least not so much.

If you rely on your own development, the time to bridge the gap may be magnified to decades.

But if it can take over the German chemical industry, this time could be shortened to a few years, which will be very beneficial for Australasia's actions after the economic crisis.

However, Arthur was not disappointed for long, and on June 11, 1927, Australasia welcomed an unexpected guest.

The guests came from the well-known German company Pigment Industry AG Industrial Group. The name may seem unfamiliar, but he became known to the Bayer Group.

The Bayer Group, which specializes in pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, is a German chemical giant with a good reputation in Germany.

The Australasian takeover also visited the current Bayer Group, but was politely rejected by Bayer Jr., the head of the Bayer Group.

In fact, this is normal, after all, Bayer Group is at least a well-known German chemical group, and it will not face the risk of bankruptcy as easily as those small and medium-sized enterprises.

The arrival of the Bayer Group was personally received by Arthur, who already had some conjectures about the personal arrival of Bayer Jr., but it still needs to be tested to know the true intentions of the Bayer Group.

"Your Majesty the King of Australia, on behalf of the Bayer family and the Pigment Industries AG Industrial Group, I would like to extend my sincere greetings to you." When Bayer Jr. met Arthur, he greeted Arthur very respectfully and sincerely.

"Hello, Mr. Bayer." Arthur nodded rather flatly, motioning for little Bayer to take a seat.

"I wonder what is the purpose of your company coming to Australasia? Do you want to restart your company's acquisition plan? Arthur asked, narrowing his eyes.

"Not really, Your Majesty." Little Bayer opened his mouth to explain: "Although we have suffered the impact of the economic crisis, there is no big problem with the current capital chain, thank you for your concern."

The purpose of our visit this time is actually to build a branch factory in your country and expand our business. ”

"Building a branch?" Arthur's heart moved, and he asked as if he didn't care.

"Yes, Your Majesty. You know, our main business is pharmaceuticals and agrochemicals, which are all subject to the major traps of the economic crisis.

Australasia was the least affected country by the economic crisis and was the best fit for our pharmaceutical and agrochemical research.

Therefore, I would like to cooperate with your country to build a branch factory in Australasia and expand our business. Bayer Jr. continued.

In fact, no matter what the industry is a company or enterprise, in the face of the economic crisis, it can only barely maintain its business.

Because the impact of the economic crisis on the country is comprehensive, not only the impact on industry and economy, but also on food, population, health care and education, etc.

Although the current Bayer Group is quite large, it is located in Germany, where the economic crisis is more serious.

Countries like the United States and Britain are fine, although the economic crisis is more serious, but the power of the state can carry out coercive intervention.

It was a different story with Germany, which, as a defeated country in World War I, was in many ways unable to control itself.

Even in the stock market, the opinions of other countries have to be taken into account. Of course, more importantly, there are several major forces in Germany vying for power, and the government does not have that much control over the stock market.

Coupled with the Anglo-French transfer crisis, Germany suffered an even more severe economic crisis. As a result, even though a large company like the Bayer Group has not been affected too badly, the impact is still there.

Rather than staying in Germany to endure the economic crisis, Bayer Jr. prefers to come to Australasia to look for opportunities.

Failure is at most a loss of one branch, and success is no less than the creation of the Bayer Group.

After all, of all the countries that have not suffered from the economic crisis, Australasia is the closest to Western culture and institutions, and it can even be said that it is a purely Western country.

Although a country like Turkey has not been affected by the economic crisis, the size of the country is relatively small, and the cultural and institutional differences are too great, so little Bayer naturally does not consider it.

Knowing Little Bayer's intention, Arthur nodded silently in his heart, and said lightly on the surface: "You should seek the industrial department to negotiate with the local government for this kind of thing." Australasia is a large area, and if you have your eye on a place, just look for the local state or city government.

You don't have to worry about the government's policies, whether it is a local or foreign company, as long as you abide by the laws of Australasia, the government will treat you equally. ”

At present, it is Bayer Group that wants to expand its business in Australasia, so Arthur must have the initiative.

In the face of Bayer Group, the future world chemical giant, Arthur definitely does not want to give up.

After all, Australasia still has a big flaw in the chemical industry, and Bayer Group is one of the German chemical giants, and its achievements in the chemical industry are extraordinary.

How to fool the Bayer Group into relocating its headquarters to Australasia? This will test Arthur's control of people's hearts.

"Although this is the case, Your Majesty, we still need your help when it comes to building the branch." Little Bayer said with a little embarrassment.

When Australasia took the initiative to come to the door before, Bayer directly rejected the other party.

But now there is a request for the other party, and this situation as if he was slapped in the face makes little Bayer slightly embarrassed.

Fortunately, the face of the capitalist is not ordinarily thick, anyway, it is for his own interests, and his face is nothing.

"Tell me, Mr. Bayer." Seeing that the other party spoke first, Arthur didn't pretend, and directly asked the other party to make conditions.

"Your Majesty, we need policy support, and a loan of at least $1 million." Little Bayer was heartbroken and directly said his needs: "We will establish a branch in Australasia second only to the German headquarters, and the branch will have a complete chemical laboratory, biological laboratory and pharmaceutical plant in Australasia."

As a thank you for your help, we are willing to recruit Australasian people in large numbers and give you a twenty percent stake in the branch. ”

Little Bayer is also a big price. First of all, Bayer AG could not rely on the money it had borrowed from Arthur.

The person who wants Black Arthur's money doesn't exist yet, after all, he has to pass the Australasian level first.

And the armed forces in Arthur's hands are not vegetarian either, and the intelligence officers of the Royal Security Intelligence Service will tell anyone who wants Black Arthur money what God and heaven are like.

Bayer Jr. borrowed $1 million in the name of the branch, which also means that the market value of the branch exceeded $1 million from the beginning.

And he gave Arthur 20% of the shares, which is equivalent to a direct gift of 200,000 Australian dollars in assets to Arthur.

And according to Bayer Jr., the Australasian branch will undergo large-scale construction, reaching a level second only to the German head office.

This also means that the value of the two shares in Arthur's hands will continue to grow, which is equivalent to giving Arthur a small gold mountain for free.
