Chapter 74 Steel factory, do you want it? (Third update, please collect)
It doesn’t matter where the fool comes from. What matters is that these predators in the jungle will not let go of any valuable prey.
"Did you buy the boat?"
Mickey ran to Li Yian again and asked in a low voice.
"Alcatel Shipping Company of Spain, Alfonso... is your employee!"
Faced with Mickey's repeated questions, Li Yian neither denied nor admitted.
"Oh my god, how can you spend so much money to buy a boat? Those boats are losers, do you know?"
Mickey looked a little excited, he could Don't be excited, after all, his future and destiny depend on this guy to change. As a result, he wasted precious funds on those junk ships.
Are you so excited?
Looking at Mickey, Li Yian said directly.
"I need those ships!"
Shippers are the main purpose of Li Yi'an's trip. After all, ships are an indispensable means of transportation in the future construction of North Borneo, whether it is the transportation of immigrants or the transportation of materials. Inseparable from the ship. Not to mention hundreds of thousands of tons, if funds allowed, he might even buy millions of tons of merchant ships.
After all, whether it is from the development of the shipping industry after the war or the needs of immigrants, investing in the shipping industry is a profitable business.
The words "I need" made Mickey dumbfounded. He opened his mouth wide in shock and said after a moment.
"Well, sir, you're not interested in banks, are you? What about factories?"
"Factory?"
Li Yian raised his eyebrows lightly.
“Yes, it’s the factories. Although the factories in Italy are not as good as those in the United States, they are still good. There are many factories that cannot start operation due to problems such as raw materials and funds. Of course, the most important thing is that those companies The real worry is the future! ”
Factories...
In addition to ships, Italian industrial enterprises seem to be a good choice, as factories in post-war Germany were included in the war. The sequence of reparations, whether to be dismantled as war reparations, has always been controlled differently by the Allies. As half an Allied country, Italy's factories were not taken over by the Allies, but even so, those business owners still lost their factories.
Just like Fiat, it manufactured armaments for the army during the war and made a huge fortune from the war. Although it was not controlled by the Allies after the war, it was confiscated by the Italian National Liberation Committee. It was not until 1966 that the company was returned to the Agnelli family.
Originally, Li Yian did not expect to get Fiat. After all, it was the largest industrial company in Italy, but now, Mickey's appearance made him see an opportunity.
I saw an opportunity to bite a piece of fat off Fiat. Even if you can't eat this company, you still have to take a big bite!
"In the future, as we all know, those companies are supporters of Mussolini. What if the Allies liquidate their companies in the future and include their companies as part of the war reparations? Once this happens, they will have nothing. , so, compared to the uncertain future, they would rather sell the company now, while they can still make the decision, we can buy them at an extremely low price!”
It’s like taking advantage of the situation!
If you don't seize the opportunity to rob someone, how can you live up to your ancestors?
Li Yian said calmly.
"Indeed, this is indeed an opportunity, but what can you do?"
"I represent Morgan, Lee!"
Mickey was straightforward. said. "No one in Europe is clear about the relationship between the Morgan consortium and the government, but believe me, no one is willing to try to offend the Morgan consortium. They are also afraid that if they offend the company, they will offend the government. Here, Morgan or the big companies in the United States , is a pass and an umbrella.”
Mickey said, lighting a cigarette triumphantly.
"This is what I can offer you. In Italy, I can represent both Morgan and you!"
Taking a puff of cigarette, Mickey threw out his trump card. Finally, he said slowly.
“I can acquire banks for Morgan, and I can also help you achieve your wishes in the name of Morgan. Now, the whole of Italy is the treasure house of the Eighteen Thieves, waiting for us to dig it, and what about me? ? Just a small amount of reward. ”
What Mickey needs is not just a little reward, but his first pot of gold. He needs to be like those big companies and eat a little bit of the residue left by big companies in this feast, but this requires money!
Money!
The millionaire in front of me is rich. Can a guy who can spend $2 million on a bunch of junk be broke?
"That's very reasonable."
Li Yian smiled, he took a puff of cigarette and thought for a while.
"Do you have any good recommendations?"
"Steel company, there is a steel company affiliated with Fiat in Taranto. It has two blast furnaces with an annual output of 1 million tons and six steel-making open-hearth furnaces. , with an annual production capacity of 1.5 million tons. As we all know, due to raw materials, its output has always been only a few hundred thousand tons. This company was invested and built by Fiat before the war to support Mussolini's arms expansion. The equipment is all of the first First-class, the total investment at that time was more than 30 million US dollars. If you are interested, I can get him."
After thinking about it, Mickey put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray and said.
“If I buy it for $3 million, you only need to give 5%. If it’s $2 million, it’s 10%. If it’s $1 million, it’s 30%. What do you think? Li!”
Mickey’s asking price is not even a fraction of his pre-war investment!
This is post-war Europe. These large American conglomerates waving US dollar bills bought Europe at ridiculously low prices, buying up the most promising and promising mines, oil fields, farms and factories, and giving them to foreign countries that were on the verge of bankruptcy. Company blood transfusion.
Steel Company!
The construction in North Borneo will definitely require a large amount of steel. Among other things, even the future construction of immigrant housing and factory buildings will not necessarily be able to meet the construction requirements without millions of tons of steel a year. need.
It is not impossible to spend 3 million to buy such a factory...
But everyone definitely wants to get rid of this piece of fat. I’m afraid it’s not that easy to eat this piece of fat.
"Steel, Europe's post-war reconstruction will definitely require a lot of steel. Such a big steel company will definitely make a lot of money from the war. There must be many people who are interested in him."
"Li, this is My value is here."
Mickey took out a cigarette and said in a relaxed tone.
"I can guarantee that you can buy it!"
Looking at Mickey, Li Yian thought for a while and said directly.
"Go! Buy it!"
