The journey starts from the Titanic

Yu Mingyu bowed slightly when he finished speaking, what he said was all from the bottom of his heart.

Gustav stared at Yu Mingyu, feeling the sincerity of the other party.This spirit of desire for knowledge is really hard to refuse.

In this overly young South China official, Gustav saw South China’s hope, full of vigor, eager to change, and tried his best to be strong, without being moved a little in his heart, and nodded silently....

Industrialization requires a large amount of funds to accumulate. Gustav was amazed by the blooming industrial constructions of South China. He was a little worried about where South China would get such funds.

However, a few days later, when he appeared in Palembang to inspect the construction project of the joint venture's shipyard, he somewhat understood.

"Mr. Krupp, have you seen it? That is the oil port being built by Occidental Petroleum, and the pipeline connects the nearby refinery. Along the Musi River Basin, the upper reaches of the pipeline is almost being laid to the oil field not far away. These projects , Both have shares in Meihua. Petroleum is South China’s hope."

Situ Nan said proudly.

He is right. The petroleum industry will be the backbone of South China’s industry. If South China is allowed to occupy such rich resources like Indonesia in the previous life, it would be too shameful to rely on selling crude oil to make a living. It is completely like treating rare earths as coal. It doesn't make a difference if it's the same cheap sale.

Situ Nan will never let this happen, so the South China branch of the Giant Laboratory led by Li Renqiao who returned from the United States is already conducting research on petrochemical technology.

As soon as the voice fell, an oil tanker from Malacca entered the port. The huge figure made Gustav secretly envy, and said: These South China rich people are really rich. Such a ship of oil is enough for Krupp. It's been a few days since the company was beautiful.

It is a pity that oil has nothing to do with the Germans, otherwise German chemical companies would not have to work hard to study the petrochemical technology.

Gustav sighed faintly, and then visited the Bethlehem South China Shipyard under construction with Situ Nan. It is a joint project between Bethlehem and Meihua, just like the shipyard joint venture between Krupp and Nanxing Shipping. Just want to start work.

The new shipyards of Krupp and Southern Star Line are nearby, separated by less than one kilometer of beaches.

"Mr. Krupp, you have to hurry up. Although I don't appreciate you moving the old shipyard to Nanhua, the old one should be used for training. We will build a larger shipyard in a few years."

Situ Nan smiled and gave Gustav a deliberate look.

As soon as these words came out, Yu Mingyu, who was behind Situ Nan, couldn't help but laugh.The laughter seemed to tell Gustav, "South China does not necessarily need Krupp's shipbuilding technology."

Gustav heard it, he didn't say anything, just stared at the tanker in the distance, thoughtfully.He asked Situ Nan: "We can also build that kind of ship, and the price is lower than that of Bethlehem. I wonder if Meihua is willing to order from Germany?"

"Are you sure you can make it?" Situ Nan asked.

"Of course. Our shipbuilding technology is not inferior to foreign countries at all. How can Yankee's products have excellent German products?" Gustaf believed.

"That's true." Situ Nan nodded, although the oil tanker was a product of his Bethlehem company, but the selling price was not at all polite.

Situ Nan turned his head and glanced at Yu Mingyu, and then asked Zeng Limin, the vice president of Meihua and the president of Meihua Petroleum, "What do you think?"

"It can be considered." Zeng Limin said immediately.

Although the US-China Petroleum Corporation has only been established recently, it has strong power. As a quasi-national oil company in South China, it has always been regarded as a key training target.

Zeng Limin had always wanted to establish Situ Nan and thought about it. He felt that Meihua Petroleum is not an ordinary company. As the cash cow of Nanhua's industrialization, it really needs ocean tankers to ship its products to Europe.

"Good idea! I have to say, Mr. Krupp, you are really smart." Situ Nan smiled.

"Haha." Gustav smiled. He not only thought about doing business with Meihua Petroleum Company, but also about Germany's future energy problems.The US-China National Petroleum Company's fleet has been included in the development plan of US-China National Petroleum Corporation, and Gustav's proposal is in his heart.

Nanhua can become Germany's oil can.Gustav thought to himself.

These days, just by visiting the capitals of South China, Xintangshan and Palembang, he brought back a large number of orders for Krupp, as well as Situ Nan's precious funds to support him.

The biggest gain was actually the discovery of South China, a rapidly developing country, which not only brought a large number of orders to Krupp but also to German industry.

After signing a package of cooperation projects with Meihua Company, Gustav could not wait to take a boat back to Europe, and his son, Alfred?Krupp temporarily stays in South China and is responsible for cooperation projects between Krupp and South China.

"I have to say that this trip is one of the greatest fortunes in my life." On board the William, Gustav expressed gratitude to Situ Nandao.

He returned to Europe with Situ Nan.The appearance of Krupp made Situ Nan change his itinerary to Japan and return to the United States by European routes.

"Krupp is a great company, it will rise again, just like Germany, I never doubt. In my opinion, unless the Germans are killed, otherwise this country will always be a world power."

Situ Nan smiled.

"Thank you!" Gustav looked at Situ Nan sincerely, wondering why the unfathomable young man in front of him was more confident than himself.

"Can you be more specific? I want to hear what you think of you. You know, most people in our country are already desperate."

Gustav seriously said.

“It’s actually very simple. Just like Bismarck’s comment on the Franco-Prussian War, victory has already been decided in elementary school classrooms. Germany’s population quality is the best in the world. With this alone, Germany’s revival is just around the corner.”

Situ Nan affirmed.

Speaking of which, he is quite envious. Germans admire technology and value skilled workers. They are not inferior to all but Chinese.

The unique concept of talents of the Germans has long given the amazing creativity of this nation, which can not be imitated by others. Situ Nan has almost no expectations for the current generation of immigrants in South China. He only hopes that after 20 or 30 years, South China will be like the post-World War II. The devils trained millions of skilled workers, and that was the moment when Nanhua took off in Nanyang.

At present, the quality of Chinese immigrant workers in South China is unsatisfactory, and the indigenous Indonesians, who make up the majority of the population, are even worse. Those black-skinned, lazy and uneducated, without the hard work of the Chinese, are almost useless.To some extent, it dragged down the retreat of South China's industrialization, so Situ Nan had to feel that racism was justified to a certain extent.

Situ Nan's thoughts were very unkind. He didn't know that there were a large number of Javanese prisoners of war in Nanhua's mines and farms. After the Dutch patted their buttocks and returned home, the bad luck of Java doglegs came and was sentenced to labor service.

Under the whip of certain tools, sometimes the efficiency of the Javanese prisoners of war is still quite high, at least many railways are repaired by them.

Situ Nan's words made Gustav think for a long time, after a long time he sighed faintly: "It's difficult! Now we can't even keep Ruhr. I only hope to see the rise of Germany in my lifetime."

joke!Will you survive that day?Who produced the German chariot that ran the world?Aren’t both Leopard and Tiger tanks produced by Krupp?Is your old man almost tried?

Situ Nan looked at Gustav with a sad look and couldn't help but think of the deeds of this arms magnate in Europe in the future. He smiled faintly and said nothing.

Chapter 156

In general, Krupp’s performance satisfied Situ Nan, helping Nanhua build steel plants and shipyards, and also promised to help Nanhua recruit workers in Germany.

This is a win-win cooperation: Krupp has not suffered a loss and has benefited a lot. After spending a lot of money and countless precious petroleum rubber and other materials, South China is estimated to be able to build a small-scale steel industry in five years.

"By the way, Mr. William, you said that you would use your influence to persuade Wall Street to aid German industry. I don't know..." Gustav asked suddenly, looking at Stuart expectantly.

"Of course. My agent is negotiating with Mr. Schacht. Mr. Schacht, you should know?"

Situ Nan smiled.

Schacht is a key figure in the rise of Germany and is known as the financial genius who opened the Pandora's Box. It is he who persuaded Wall Street to invest a large amount of money in Germany to make the rise of German industry possible.

Later, when the Nazi Party came to power, Schacht gave a lot of money behind his back. It can be said that without Hitler, there is still the Third Reich, but without Schacht, there is no possibility of Germany's rise.

Now Germany’s poor finances are sorted out by Schacht. Hearing Situ Nan’s scorching mention of negotiations with Schacht, Gustav had to believe it.

"Thank you so much." Gustaf said. He was hesitant to transfer Krupp's best technology to South China. Hearing Situ Nan's assurance, he secretly came to a conclusion.

"Haha. The current situation in Germany is indeed sympathetic. In order to solve the problem of excessive currency issuance, Mr. Schacht is going to use productive land as a guarantee to issue new marks in exchange for the current degrading mark. What do you think? Is it feasible?" Situ Nan said to Gustav with a smile.

"Guaranteed with productive land? It's really bad enough! Maybe this is the only thing that Germany can handle right now?" Gustav said ironically.

Situ Nan nodded, this idea is very genius, and also very teary.His agent Hans is negotiating with Schacht in Berlin, and he is also negotiating with secret merchants on Wall Street.
