The journey starts from the Titanic

After returning from Ludwigshafen, Situ Nan paid close attention to the situation of American China Bank in Frankfurt.In addition to large companies, German small and medium-sized enterprises with unique technologies are also the targets of Meihua. Therefore, with limited funds, Meihua also acquired some small companies and transported the factories back to South China, which was a small hunt for German industry. In this way, the technology accumulation and expansion of Meihua Company can be realized.

In Situ Nan’s previous life, this is how Koreans obtained relevant technologies from the international market, and formed their own things after digesting them.

Historically, in the 1920s, there were only two countries that succeeded in bargaining industries in other countries-the Soviet Union and Japan.

The Japanese spend most of their national finances on importing machinery and technology and developing military industry. Of course, it goes without saying that it is crazy.

The real horror is that the Soviet Union, which has calmed down the civil strife and is gradually returning to life, bought the German industry in the 1920s and the American industry in the 1930s, thus becoming the largest industrial country in Europe and the second in the world.

Situ Nan was confident that he didn't have the ability to bring down the Soviet Union, and even wanted to invest in the past, because investing in the Soviet Union really makes money!

Just like the car king Ford, while cursing the Soviets, he took the initiative to set up factories in the Soviet Union and made a lot of money.

In general, Situ Nan hoped that South China would be more proactive and take advantage of Germany’s difficult economy to attract German industry to South China. Perhaps it could slightly weaken the industrial resources obtained by the Soviet Union or Japan from the international market and slow down their industrial development. , Even one step or two steps is just worth it.

Chapter 160

"Master, after the South China delegation has completed its visit to Germany, it has already set off for the United States. The Prime Minister sent a telegram asking if you are travelling along?"

He Xiangu walked in and interrupted Situ Nan's conjecture about German industry.

"Did they finish the interview?" Situ Nan asked with a smile, rubbing his tired face.

Except for a small gathering in Berlin, he hasn't spent much time with Situ Meideng.

"Yes. The visit was very successful. It was published in the newspapers and many cooperation plans were signed. German companies will participate in the industrial construction of South China." He Xiangu smiled sweetly.

These are just formalities. The general things have been established in the talks between Situ Nan and Krupp, BASF and other industrial giants, but they have been officially re-beautified.

"That's really good news." Situ Nan smiled, looking at the more and more capable He Xiangu, slightly lost.

I took the newspaper from He Xiangu and glanced at it. In addition to industrial cooperation, the two sides also started cooperation in education. Nanhua plans to take the German-specific vocational education system to make Germans who are suffering from unemployment a little excited.

Let alone the effect, this kind of thorough and down-to-earth learning drive satisfied Situ Nan.Whether in China or South China, modern education has just started, almost like a piece of white paper, with many things that can be shaped.

Seeking knowledge in the world, this was the slogan of the Meiji Restoration in Japan decades ago, and it also appears in Nanhua today.

Nanhua Education still has a long way to go. In order to train a large number of workers, the introduction of a German-style vocational education system is the quickest and most necessary step.

Situ Nan nodded and smiled: "Congratulations to them for me. I won't be with them anymore. See you in America then."

In Frankfurt, Situ Nan met the legendary Morgan’s agent in Germany, Schacht, a financial genius. He has been a fellow of Morgan Firm since his old son, Shahete, and has a close relationship with Morgan Firm.

Schacht is the chairman of Deutsche Bank and the commissioner of German currency reform. He has great power and is more troublesome.

Schacht was in danger and did not dare to neglect. When he was gray, he finally came up with the strategy of a new mark linked to the land. For the new mark to work, it is necessary to let the "productive land" work, and let these lands take effect. The role is to start the German factories. Where does the money come from?

Looking at the world, there is only Wall Street on the other side of the ocean.

Schacht tried his best to sell this genius idea to Situ Nan. Before that, he had already made similar suggestions to Wall Street. Wall Street was very interested, so the US government was putting pressure on France to withdraw its troops.

"Now only the U.S. dollar can save Germany. The U.S. provides us with loans. We have the money to resume production and the ability to repay foreign debts. We pay indemnities to Britain and France. After Britain and France get the money, will they return to Wall Street?"

Shakhter said.His idea was actually foreseen by the American industry and commerce when Morgan came to attend the Paris Peace Conference a few years ago.

It seems that Morgan and the others have been silent for a few years, and finally they have made a big move, right?

Situ Nan thought to himself, giving Schacht a somewhat complicated look, and smiled: "It's a good idea, but it can't be realized for the time being. With the French in the Ruhr area for a day, the productive land in Germany is not enough to guarantee. Issue new currency."

"I know. But I believe that the French will leave the Ruhr area soon, and you will need powerful people like you to help Germany."

Schacht humbly said that this handsome middle-aged handsome man looked at Situ Nan sincerely, and persuaded this big man who was not obvious on Wall Street to support himself in reorganizing the German financial order.

Situ Nan nodded.

In a few months, the United States will become a member of Wall Street. He has always followed the crowd. Although he has no idea of ​​saving the German economy, he will follow Morgan's meaning.

He knows history well: lending money to the Germans, Wall Street can be regarded as meat buns and dogs, and the Germans will not pay their debts if their wings become hard.In just over ten years, he owed the United States more than seven billion dollars!

More than seven billion dollars!A Manhattan Project cost only 2 billion US dollars, or is it a depreciated US dollar?If Situ Nan had the money, it would be enough to bomb Tokyo several times with an atomic bomb!

I worked hard, all the spare money in my hand was invested in South China, and the total amount was only 300 million US dollars.

Situ Nan secretly envied the good life of the Germans, because the preserved industry can easily attract big American investors to give them money. If you add investment from Krupp and BASF, Situ Nan's investment in Germany is not counted. This is more direct and effective than lending to a German bank, because Stuart only needs German technology and equipment, not how much shares in a German bank.

That's what Morgan and the Jews like to do. They use their own blood to fatten and avenge Germany, but Situ Nan is not so idle.

However, Germany is inseparable from the United States. The dollarization of the German economy is very beneficial to South China and Stuart.

The South China dollar closely follows the US dollar. South China’s economy and the US economy maintain close ties. After the German economy is dollarized, it also facilitates economic and trade cooperation between South China and Germany.

In addition to promoting the "Land Mark" plan, Schacht also proposed to establish a cooperative relationship with Deutsche Bank and American China Bank to build a fast and convenient financial channel.

The emerging South China market is conducive to the recovery of German industry, and German advanced technology is conducive to the industrialization of South China.Through financial cooperation, the relationship between the two parties has become closer.

This is what Situ Nan likes to see....

Walking on the streets of Berlin, the streets were deserted and chaotic. People carrying thick bags filled with newly issued banknotes walked into the bakery and came out carrying a few thin slices of bread.

Occasionally raised his head and looked at the gray sky, a trace of worry jumped to his brows, and then his expression was dim and numb and disappeared into the street.

People complained more and more. Dissatisfaction, chaos, and even despair condensed and fermented over the city, until one day, it suddenly collapsed and turned into a crazy revenge.

"Master, this Germany is messy, it feels like New Tangshan can't be compared." He Xiangu frowned slightly, looking at the numb German faces on the street, a little worried.

"There are more tragic scenes in this world. This disaster of the Germans is nothing." Situ Nan said lightly. Europeans do not fight or kill each other. The East will always be their colony. easy.

Has the young master ever seen a more tragic scene?He Xiangu glanced at Situ Nan with some doubts.

In a short while, they arrived at the University of Berlin, the most famous university in Germany and the birthplace of modern universities.

Although Germany's economy is not good and the society is sluggish, the ideological education sector is prosperous.

The University of Berlin is the academic center of the world. A large number of scholars and experts gather at the University of Berlin. Needless to say, Einstein is a great scientific master. There are also many philosophical and literary masters. In the 1920s, Moustache was not on stage. A large number of scientists have not been driven away by the Nazi Party, and the University of Berlin is enjoying this golden age.

Of course, Germany’s economy is not good, and many of the school’s funds come from foreign donations, including the Wilhelm Foundation, which is overflowing with compassion.

Naturally, some Nanhua students benefited from this and were recommended to study at the University of Berlin.

At this time, there are still a lot of Chinese students studying in Germany. They are not necessarily regular students. German tolerant education has accepted many young people from all over the world to study, allowing them to borrow in school.So many people work in factories during the day and go to school at night and weekends.

In the age of enthusiasm, rally speeches seem to be commonplace, just like people visiting forums a hundred years later.

After finishing the affairs in Germany, Situ Nan rarely relaxed.

Walking into the University of Berlin, I feel as separated from the noisy and numb German streets outside, very free and comfortable.

On a whim, he also secretly ran to listen to Professor Planck's lecture. Professor Planck has very high attainments in quantum physics, which brought back Situ Nan's superficial memory of quantum physics.
