The journey starts from the Titanic

"Go! Nanhua's chemical industry has just started, and the market is vast. I think BASF's achievements are no less than those of Giant's." Situ Nan smiled.

"Of course. Even if Giant is the owner of your industry, BASF will not be inferior to it. I have already planned to relocate the fertilizer plant and fuel plant in Ludwigshafen to Nanhua. I think of Nanhua's farm. We will not refuse our fertilizers, and the textile mills in Nanhua also desire the fuel produced by BASF!"

Hans channeled himself.

Although he has been in Germany all year round, he has been paying attention to the situation in South China.Nanhua is a large agricultural country, rich in rice, coffee, pepper, nutmeg, tobacco and other crops. The agricultural production team has an infinite demand for fertilizers. Nanhua currently has almost no large chemical company, so Hans has targeted Nanhua's fertilizer from the beginning. market.

Even in the face of the same powerful giant company, Hans is confident that BASF will occupy at least half of the market share.

As Hans's first strategic investment in BASF, if the investment in South China is successful, it will soon establish its position in BASF.

Hans thought to himself that he hadn't thought that the current bad situation in Germany could bring BASF back to life, and the only development direction could only be overseas.

"By the way, you urged me to maintain the independence of BASF and not to legalize the company. I think this may be a problem."

Hans solemnly said. He looked at Situ Nan with some doubts in his heart: Situ Nan didn't seem to like Farben Company very much.

Fabien was founded in 1904 and is headquartered in Frankfurt on the banks of the Main in Frankfurt. The company was originally composed of three large chemical companies: Akfa, Bayer and BASF.

During the First World War, Casela Company, Grisheim Electrochemical Factory, Weller Chemical Factory, Kahler Company, Hearst Company joined one after another, completely monopolizing the supply of explosives in Germany, and the limelight was the same. It can be said to be German. Standard Oil Company in the chemical industry.

What is interesting is that Konzern is a monopoly organization different from Standard Oil Company, and it should be said that it is a horizontal connection.

Each company in the group maintains an independent position. Its stocks are traded separately and their respective profits are settled. However, they uniformly allocate production materials and monopolize the German chemical industry market.

After the First World War, Germany was defeated. As a supplier of explosives to the German army, Fabien was dismembered. Companies such as BASF and Bayer were also sanctioned and looted. The most precious synthetic ammonia technology was taken away by Britain, France and the United States. Germany’s poor economy The situation has left these hideous chemical companies empty of their abilities, but they have nowhere to display their skills, and they can't even survive.

In this case, it is not too difficult for Hans, who has returned from the United States with a large amount of money, to infiltrate BASF, and he has the support of Wall Street.

When Hans is about to become a major shareholder of BASF, his starting point is more from the interests of BASF, and it is normal to have objections.

"Tell me your thoughts." Situ Nan said patiently.He was a little worried that if BASF finally became independent, and if Hans were to entangle with the original Fabron people, after a few years, the war criminals on the Nuremberg trial might have his place.

As expected by Stuart, Hans pondered for a while and said: "The German chemical industry is in a downturn. I am confident to lead BASF out of the predicament, but it is hard to say for other companies. Bayer's US subsidiary The development is good, and their medicines are selling well, so Bayer is regrouping recently and is acquiring other chemical companies. They have the support of Wall Street.

I think that BASF should also make a difference and can't just watch Bayer expand."

"What then?" Situ Nan looked at the ambitious Hans, and said in his heart: This kid is unwilling to be lonely!

"Someone gave me a better idea. He suggested that I use BASF and Bayer as the basis to form a new Fabron company. I think it is feasible. If the German chemical industry does not unite, it will definitely compete in the world. But chemical companies in the United States and the United Kingdom. And the current bad situation also makes it possible to practice this idea. The only thing that is needed is more funds."

Having said this, Hans looked at Situ Nan expectantly, his eyes piercing.His ambition has been ignited, and the monopoly of the German chemical industry has endless temptations for him.

Situ Nan stared at Hans, and understood that this kid was asking for money to reorganize Fabien, should he refuse him?

Situ Nan hesitated, looking at Hans’ gray eyes, there seemed to be a flame burning, and finally understood: whether it is Krupp or BASF or the rebirth of Fabien, they are closely related to the fate of Germany. , In essence, they are all serving the interests of Germany, so even if it is not Hans, there will be others who will come out to reorganize the company!

According to the established historical trajectory, Farben will also fund the Nazi Party, support the German military industry, and benefit from it, and finally become the world's most terrifying murder factory. This is not changed by Situ Nan's wishful thinking.

And as an important member of Fabien, BASF, maybe it will eventually be destroyed by the giant company, Krupp company, Bethlehem company and other arms companies built by itself?And American soldiers are nothing but weapons users.

Left hand hit right hand?It's ironic!However, in any case, it is not yourself who is proud?

Thinking of the scene twenty years later, Situ Nan felt a little excited.

"Mr. William? Are you listening?" Hans reminded when Situ Nan lost his senses.

"It's okay." Situ Nan looked at Hans and smiled."Now BASF is in charge, you have your opinions, and I respect you. However, that is a long-term thing, so you should focus your energy on organizing BASF's interior!" Situ Nan warned.

"Yeah." Hans nodded. Situ Nan was right. The reorganization of Farben Company was a long-term business. He just informed Situ Nan of this idea in advance.

From Hans's mouth, Situ Nan learned that it was a chemical engineer from BASF, the famous Karl?Dr. Bosch.

It was Dr. Hubble who invented the synthetic ammonia technology. However, out of conscientious condemnation, Dr. Hubble stopped studying explosive technology and was invited by the University of William in the United States to become a university professor.

The large-scale application of synthetic ammonia technology to industrial production is Dr. Bosch, who can be said to be the soul of BASF and therefore has a high position in BASF.

"Can I meet that Dr. Bosch?" Situ Nan asked.

"Of course." Hans laughed, knowing that Situ Nan was tempted by the company's affairs, and couldn't help being excited.

Chapter 159

Similar to Krupp's transfer of steel, machinery, and shipbuilding technology to South China, BASF also transferred advanced German chemical technology to South China.

With the financial support of Stuart, Hans successfully acquired BASF.After he took office, he immediately fulfilled his promise to jointly build a synthetic ammonia chemical plant with an annual output of 100,000 tons in Xintangshan with Meihua Company.

From this extension, supporting explosives plants and fertilizer plants are also built.Using Sumatra's rich high-quality coal, Nanhua also introduced a series of chemical technologies such as tarification, dyes, and pharmaceuticals through BASF.

Standing on the shoulders of two chemical giants, BASF and Giant, it is not a dream for Nanhua's chemical industry to achieve leapfrog development.

Situ Nan's plan is to transfer his industry to South China on a large scale, and through the large-scale introduction of technology from the United States and Germany, so that the two major industrial indicators of South China, except for shipbuilding, will be close to or exceed Japan's 31 years ago!

At that time, I will have the confidence to compete with the Japanese.

The United States is a democratic society. No matter how powerful Situ Nan is, there is no way for the United States to go to war with Japan, but the South China that was built by one hand is different.

The situation in East Asia is turbulent, and South China and China have inexplicable links. Japan has ambitions and provocations against China. Sooner or later, South China will face the Japanese.

Guangdong and Guangxi also benefited from the cooperation between South China and Germany, and part of the German military industry was also transferred to Guangzhou and Nanning.

The submarine project secretly cooperated by Meihua and Krupp has also benefited the base areas on the mainland. The Guangdong military government and the Guangxi military government decided to secretly establish submarine bases in Hainan and Beibu Gulf, and relevant personnel have been sent to South China to receive training by German submarine officers.

From Wilhelmshaven to Frankfurt, Germany's well-developed transportation almost allows people to meet within 24 hours.

Hans was right. Situ Nan was indeed interested in Dr. Bosch, because the high-pressure chemical method invented by Bosch was very important to Situ Nan.

"This is a banker from the U.S. He is very interested in restructuring Farben."

Hans introduced Situ Nandao.

Situ Nan kept a low profile, but didn't want people to easily know his relationship with BASF, so even the 5% of the shares he held through a secret company.

"Hello! Dr. Bosch." Situ Nan smiled.The German chemistry expert who appeared in front of him impressed him deeply.

She has short, whitish hair, shiny chin, and a short beard on her upper lip. It looks like a German, serious and serious.

The most special thing is wearing small gold round glasses with cold light in his eyes, which feels like a logically rigorous robot!

Hearing that Situ Nan was a banker from the United States who intended to help reorganize the Farben Company, Dr. Bosch was very interested, expounding the various benefits of the reorganization of Farben Company, and demonstrated good commercial quality.

It is not difficult for Situ Nan to understand why this rigorous chemistry expert was able to establish the world's largest and most terrifying killing chemical company.

In fact, Situ Nan did not have much interest in the reorganization of Faben Company, and now he has no intention of preventing Hans from developing in the direction of the established war criminals. He is only interested in the high-pressure chemical method invented by Bosch and wants to apply this technology to the giant experiment. The laboratory is studying chemical synthesis technology.

Bosch did not disappoint Situ Nan, and briefly introduced Situ Nan's high-pressure chemistry technology.Situ Nan didn't understand the principle, but he knew what the technology could be used for and what finished products could be invented.

Bosch's answer convinced Situ Nan that BASF has the technology it needs in this regard.Situ Nan said to Hans: "This is a promising technology. Dr. Li Renqiao from the Nanhua branch of Giant Lab is studying chemical synthesis technology and has achieved certain results. I hope that BASF can participate, work together and work together. Cope with the competition between DuPont and Exxon."
