Chapter 841 Technology for Market
During the years when Russia was being pursued and intercepted, France often followed the British side to help.
Andre is not George. I don’t know how much damage Germany will cause to Russia if it completely loses control. Based on Russia’s interests, Germany can play a greater role by appropriately breaking through the Treaty of Versailles.
The Germans, who only had an army of 100,000, were as good as wives, and even Poland dared to ride on Germany's head and dominate.
Germany, with 500,000 troops, is an important force in maintaining European security.
If the size of the German army exceeds 1 million, the existing power structure in Europe will be completely broken.
The opinions of Britain and France are not important as to whether to sanction Poland. As long as Russia and Germany agree, Poland will be completely blocked.
Poland only borders three countries on land, namely Russia, Germany, and Czechoslovakia.
The entire Polish coastline is along the Baltic Sea. As long as Russia blocks the entrance to the Baltic Sea, Britain and France will have to go through Sweden to help Poland.
During the last world war, Sweden, like Denmark, was a neutral country.
Edward and Perrier never expected that Russia and Germany would insist on imposing a blockade on Poland despite the firm opposition of Britain and France and the abstention of the Kingdom of Italy.
This result made everyone wonder, what is the use of this international alliance?
George was not surprised by this result. The League of Nations was originally just a test product. Only after all countries understand the serious consequences of breaking the rules can this international organization truly play its due role.
Just part of it.
It's okay to distribute relief rations, hold a pretentious meeting or something like that.
But don’t expect to resolve all disputes through this model. The League of Nations is a dialogue platform. To truly resolve conflicts, you still have to proceed from strength.
Karl Jr. came to George again, hoping that Russia would open its export restrictions to Germany, not only increase its exports of oil and natural gas, but also open technology exports to Germany.
Germany has many difficulties in launching its national sedan. Unless it can obtain technical authorization from the Siberian Automobile Group, it will be difficult to achieve its goal.
In terms of technology, Siberia Automobile Group has initially achieved technical barriers. Let’s not talk about technologies such as engine and gearboxes. Without buying patents from Siberia Automobile Group, cars produced in Germany cannot even be equipped with seat belts.
The bargaining chip that Carl Jr. took out was: synthetic rubber technology.
As early as the last century, Germany tried to use synthetic rubber to make automobile tires. However, due to raw materials and performance factors, it was not widely promoted.
During the World War, Germany was under strict blockade and could not import natural rubber, so the Germans used dimethylbutadiene to polymerize methyl rubber as a substitute for natural rubber.
Last year, Germany used butadiene as the monomer and metallic sodium as the catalyst to synthesize sodium butadiene rubber, which has better performance than methyl rubber.
What Carl Jr. hopes to exchange with Russia is the synthesis technology of sodium butadiene rubber.
George had a slight headache. Butadiene rubber was not important to Russia.
Russia has access to natural rubber through the Grand Duchy of Yuriev and does not need synthetic rubber at all.
But rejecting the German demands would have a negative impact on relations between Russia and Germany.
After Germany cut off trade with the United States, it turned to Russia.
If Russia can't even meet Germany's demands, how can you be the big brother?
It wasn't the seat belts that George was worried about.
Karl's demands are definitely more than that. After agreeing to this part of the request, if Karl wants to introduce engine technology for armored combat vehicles and aircraft from Russia, will Russia provide it?
If so, with Germany's technical capabilities, Russia will lose its technological advantage over Germany.
If not, how did you become the eldest brother?
George chose the safest way and agreed in principle to expand export and technology export restrictions. The specific cooperation model needed to be discussed by Karl and the relevant companies themselves.
Don’t ask why, just ask about free trade.
Karl Jr. is very happy. The Yuriev family is the major shareholder of the Siberian Automobile Group and the Sibneft Company, which exports oil to Germany. As long as George agrees, it will definitely be a green light.
Siberian Automobile Group did agree to license the patented technology, but the conditions were very stringent.
The national sedan that Germany wants to build will directly compete with the Polestar produced by the Siberian Automobile Group. The Siberian Automobile Group does not want to cultivate competitors.
Carl's negotiations were frustrated, and he finally thought of asking Anne for help.
In terms of blood relationship, Anne is Carl's aunt.
Anne still has feelings for Germany, but she also does not interfere in the operation of the family business.
As the head matron of the Yuriev family, Anne's role is equivalent to half of the family.
The focus of George's work is heavy industry, and there are supporting facilities for eating, drinking, and entertainment, which can be easily operated.
The most profitable business of the Yuriev family is not cars or airplanes, but cosmetics.
Although cars and airplanes are important, the return on investment is high and the cycle is long. There is basically no money to be made in peacetime. George is satisfied if he does not lose money.
The profits of cars and airplanes are indeed high, but the costs are also very high. The benefits of technical experts are similar to those of major generals, and top technical experts are comparable to marshals.
There are only a few people in the cosmetics research institute. Legend has it that if one pound of pearls is used for one year, the profits will skyrocket.
There is a management team responsible for Yuriev's family business. Anne's daily job now is to spend money, and she doesn't even read the financial report because she can't understand it at all.
Out of her feelings for Germany, Anne still flirted with George.
"Ah Daofu is different from old Carl. This man is very dangerous."
The reasons given by George left Anne confused.
"Why?" Anne has always paid close attention to Germany, so naturally she will not ignore Mustache, a rising star in German politics.
Mustache is a very confusing person, self-disciplined, idealistic, and all based on the interests of Germany. No matter how you look at it, Mustache is the savior of Germany.
"He is cold-blooded and willful, and he also has the nervousness of an artist in his character, so once this guy goes crazy, the damage Germany will cause to Russia and even our world will be greater than the last world war."
George had always been wary of mustaches.
"You can't use things that haven't happened to determine the fate of a person or even a country."
Anne did not accept George's reason. Mustache's ideal was to fill the German tables with bread and milk.
As for the Hebrews in Germany, Anne also thought they deserved death.
"So we have to work hard to keep the situation from getting completely out of control."
George is not trying to completely block Germany's upward channels. Development always comes at a cost.
You want technology, you want the market, and you don’t want to pay the price. How can such a good thing happen?
Russia's status in the Balkans was gained through bloody battles one after another.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Russia's development was also achieved through bloody battles one after another, stepping on the corpses of Imperial Russia, the Provisional Government, and the Second Provisional Government.
Relations between Yugoslavia and Russia were so close that Polis did not move the Siberian Automobile Group to Adrianople.
Now that Germany's economy has just improved, it wants to seize the Russian car market. Who are you?
It doesn't cost money to co-author Russian R&D technology, right?
Even if someone does not spend much money to apply for a seat belt patent, his brain cells will still be exhausted. He must not pay for the exhausted brain cells.
"Where is your courage to face any challenge?"
Anne actually laughed at George, which was intolerable.
The chicken soup that George has been instilling in the people around him is that as long as Russia has enough strength, Russia will not be afraid of any challenge.
Germany cannot be called a challenge now. It just wants to rely on the Russian system to make a living. Is this unbearable?
Australia is now also working in the Russian system, and George is not careful.
This is also understandable.
With the large influx of Russian immigrants, Australia is almost ready to vacate the cage and replace the birds. George will certainly not turn away Australia, which is completely flat.
The biggest difference between Germany and Australia is that the Germans have the determination and ability to break tradition.
"Do you want a safe and controllable Germany, or a Germany that is completely out of control?"
George was patient with Anne.
"Why must Germany be controlled?"
Anne is also a diode when she messes around.
"That's why you can be so messy."
George spread his hands, who doesn’t know how to use a hob?
Anne can act recklessly in front of George.
When facing little Karl, Anne returned to the elegant Grand Duchess Yuriev.
"Would you consider letting Siberia Automotive Group invest in technology?"
Anne was very comfortable with similar business operations.
After the civil war, in order to form an alliance of interests, several large Russian families and the Russian government generally adopted cross-holdings.
The board of directors of the Siberian Automobile Group is now composed of representatives of the Yuriev family, the Yusupov family, the Romanov family, the Dolgorukov family, and the Russian government.
The board structure of all monopoly consortiums in Russia is like this.
"Joint operation?"
Little Carl was slightly disappointed, but not unacceptable.
The World War changed a lot of things. The reason why the Hebrew consortium was able to control German finance was inseparable from the connivance of the Juncker aristocracy. Some of the Hebrew consortia were basically the white gloves of the Juncker aristocratic group.
Juncker exploits the Hebrew consortium for profit.
The Hebrew consortium took the opportunity to take over and hit it off immediately.
As for whether Germany will belong to Juncker or the Hebrew consortium in the future——
Both sides feel they can win.
So in this case, it is not unacceptable for Siberia Automotive Group to invest in technology.
Even the best option.
"Of course!"
Little Carl agreed happily.
Since Siberia Automotive Group has invested in technology, it is reasonable to send technical personnel to the new company for guidance.
