The journey starts from the Titanic

Although this happened only after World War II, and General Motors is still inferior to Ford Motor, but since the disintegration of General Motors decades later and Standard Petroleum empire a decade ago, Stuart has never hoped that Western Petroleum will compete for the oil industry. The boss of Occidental Petroleum would rather split Occidental Petroleum into two top oil companies.

Although the ranking has been lowered, the strength will not be compromised. On the contrary, through weight reduction, several powerful medium-sized oil companies can be annexed.He already has a goal.

After digesting the oil fields accumulated before, the strength of Western oil companies will naturally catch up. Even if the rankings are not as good as those of Mobil and Exx, the combined strengths will not differ too much.

Thinking of this, Situ Nan clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind.

Chapter 151 The Arrogance of Killing Krupp

Returning from an investigation of the Palembang oil refinery project, Situ Nan asked Richard: "I have a good opportunity recently. Do you want to make a small fortune?"

"Oh? Come and listen." Richard curiously asked.

"Yes. There is something wrong with the economic situation in Tokyo recently. I want to strike them. If you can believe me, just..." Situ Nan smiled mysteriously.

"Tokyo? How did you think of where you went?" Richard shook his head, he didn't understand the situation in Tokyo.

"I just look down on the Japanese and feel that their economy is going to be dying. If you snipe them in the financial market, you will probably get a good result."

Situ Nan smiled.He is not joking. He played a small game in Japan the year before last, waiting for the Japanese to die and his family to get rich.

"Forget it, after you knocked $20 million, I don't plan to go crazy with you again." Richard refused, looking at Situ Nan with a bit of sadness.

He is a cautious and conservative person, and he doesn't deal easily with unfamiliar situations.At the same time, I don't want to provoke those Japanese who are perverse.

"That's a shame." Situ Nan said with some regret.

Back in Xintangshan, Situ Nan couldn't help but went to see Meihua Steel Base again.

"Mr. Situ, you see, the infrastructure of the steel plant has been laid, the tap water and roads have been repaired, the nearby power plant is under intense construction, and the generator set is being installed, and electricity will be available soon.

Also, the railway connecting the wharf has been built, and coal is now being sent to the power plant.Next month, the equipment ordered by the United States will be shipped over, and I have prepared the technicians to ensure that the steel plant can be fired in the shortest time."

Yu Mingyu said excitedly.

"That's good." Situ Nan nodded, and said in his heart: It's a pity, I can't see that exciting moment.

The iron ore imported from Western Australia has been transported to New Tangshan in small quantities. Situ Nan became interested in seeing the large pile of reddish-brown iron ore in front of him.He was the first to see the legendary Pilbara high-quality iron ore.

"Have you checked? Is this iron ore okay?" Situ Nan asked concerned.

"No! These iron ore couldn't be better. Our engineers said it was better than the iron ore on Java Island." Yu Mingyu smiled.

"Sir, what do you think?"

Situ Nan smiled and handed a piece of red-brown iron ore to a serious foreigner who followed them.

After the relationship between South China and the Netherlands was restored, many Dutch people with a keen sense of smell went to South China to invest.

The rapid development of South China's industry has brought good opportunities to the Dutch. They have not yet withdrawn from the Indonesian archipelago, but they can't do whatever they want.

The Dutch have the best financial service awareness in the world and they are rich in experience. This is exactly what South China needs to establish a stable and mature market. Therefore, the Dutch are very active in investment in the banking and securities business.

Even after obtaining the approval of Meihua Company, it also participated in the preparation of the South China Stock Exchange.

The Dutchman who is standing with Situ Nan is a businessman who should not be underestimated. More precisely, he is a German who invests in South China as a Dutch.

Through some people's relationship, this special German broke into Situ Nan's inspection team.

"This kind of high-quality iron ore is really rare, better than Norwegian iron ore, but good iron ore requires good technology to make good steel, otherwise it is a waste of effort." Gustav?Krupp smiled lightly.

"Isn't Bethlehem's technology good?"

Situ Nan took a provocative look at Gustav, and felt refreshed. After the First World War, Bethlehem plundered a lot of advanced steel and shipbuilding technology from Germany.

"Alfred, you can answer this question." Gustav looked calm, and looked at a young man who looked like him beside him. Is that his son Alfred?Krupp.

Alfred took a step forward and proudly said: "Germany's technology is the best in the world, and Krupp is the best of the best. No one can take away our most precious things. Even Bethlehem can't match us. !"

Situ Nan saw unwillingness and grief in the eyes of this young man who was less than twenty, and smiled in his heart.

Unwillingness, grief and anger This is the true portrayal of the Krupp family at present.But how can it be?Didn't Lao Tzu steal your Germans' synthetic ammonia technology and steel technology?Didn't the British company Vickers lease Krupp's steel patents to produce warships and defeat the Germans?

The irony is that after the war, Vickers paid patent fees to Krupp based on the number of German casualties. This allowed Krupp to have some money to open a new factory and secretly went to Sweden to experiment. Artillery, went to the Netherlands to test new submarines.

"I know that Krupp is the best. Otherwise, why would Vickers UK pay you royalties?" Situ Nan sneered.

His words slapped Krupp's face like a slap.

"you……"

Alfred's face immediately turned red, and he looked at Situ Nan with fire in his eyes.

"Okay. Sir, this is not a good topic. I think South China needs Krupp technology and we should have broad prospects for cooperation."

Gustav solemnly said, his heart suffocated.

The Germans are now in a difficult situation. In Europe, they are often deceived. Even a small country like Belgium can threaten them. The dignity of the Germans is trampled down by others. Otherwise, the interesting father and son will not take the initiative to come. Nanhua looked for a way out.

"Yeah. You're right. This German technology, I also appreciate it. However, we can't pay such an expensive price. We can only use poor Bethlehem technology. It should be able to cope with steel plants and railway construction, right?"

Situ Nan smiled coldly, ignoring the ugly faces of Krupp and his son, and got into the car on his own.

The Krupp father and son came to South China to sell, but their attitude was somewhat arrogant, which made Situ Nan unhappy.

In previous negotiations with Nanhua, as soon as Krupp involved the core technology, the mother-in-law offered a price that made Situ Nan annoyed.Although he did not participate in the negotiation, he has been watching from behind. Today, he is about to have a chance to kill Krupp's arrogance.

Are Germans poor now?It just happens to be able to slaughter them severely, so that they don't think they are great!

Even if the famous Krupp was like that, even after 20 years later, after Germany regained its strength, Situ Nan was not afraid of these Germans, they were still losers after all.

"Mr. Yu, the conditions we have offered are very favorable. Why can't you accept it?" Gustav looked at Yu Mingyu with some anger.

Yu Mingyu Situ went south to the car, turned his head and smiled at the sullen Krupp father and son."Haha. Conditions, we can talk about it slowly. But we Nanhua are poor, Mr. Krupp, your wealth is rich, so don't care about us poor people.

If your ironmaking equipment and railway equipment are 20% lower than Bethlehem, we will consider yours."

"Mr. Yu, you are a lion with a big mouth, too insincere." Gustav retorted.If the multi-million dollar equipment is reduced by 20%, there is almost no money to make.He didn't know that the price of Nanhua equipment provided by Bethlehem was not very high, otherwise he would vomit blood.

"Mr. Krupp, many of our loans come from the United States. It is impossible to give up American equipment without a proper reason. Unless you can also provide us with loans, or come up with real technology, such as passivated tungsten or artillery Steel technology."

Yu Mingyu smiled, as if you like to sell or not.

"It's impossible. We won't betray these technologies." Gustav shook his head quickly. Passivated tungsten and artillery steel technology is Krupp's most precious wealth. Even the Americans and the British can't take it away. The Germans' attention is even more unlikely to be handed over to Nanhua easily.

"Okay then!" Yu Mingyu stretched out his hands with some regret, and didn't want to continue talking with the other party.

"I think both parties should show sincerity. Cooperation is beneficial to both parties." Marx, chief of staff of the South China National Defense Forces?Bauer interjected suddenly.
