Reborn South Africa as a police officer

Chapter 1871 Fire in the Backyard
Like Morgan Jr., John Jr. was in a bad mood. During the melee of oil companies before the economic crisis broke out, John Jr. had already had a fight with a southern African company, and that fight ended in triggering an economic crisis.

Similar to the dilemma faced by U.S. steel companies, after more than half a century of disorderly development of oil fields in the United States, they also face multiple problems such as difficulty in mining, high costs, and intensified competition.

When Rock and Roosevelt Jr. met, oil was an important issue. Under the witness of Rock and Roosevelt Jr., Standard Oil and Nejs Oil Company reached an agreement to jointly maintain the market price of oil. The price Standard Oil paid for this was Abandon most of the European market.

Like steel companies, Standard Oil is also facing crazy competition from southern African companies, so John Jr. and Morgan Jr. have a common language. Before Morgan Jr. found Charles Schwab, John Jr. came to Jr. Morgan's side.

"Congratulations, Jack, U.S. Steel has come out of the predicament, and I hope you can achieve greater glory—" Little John had a good attitude. If oil is the blood of modern industry, then steel is the bone of modern industry, and the two complement each other.

Little Morgan's full name is John Jack Pierpont Morgan, and Little John's full name is John Davidson Rockefeller. American names are so sloppy, probably similar to Zhang San.

"There is nothing worthy of congratulations, at least not in my opinion." Morgan Jr. sighed. There is actually nothing to hide in this regard. Anyway, Standard Oil and U.S. Steel do not have a direct competitive relationship.

"I heard that U.S. Steel purchased more than 350 million tons of iron ore from Fawalt Iron and Steel Group last month. Is the iron ore from Fawalt Iron and Steel Group so good?" Little John didn't go around in circles, everyone was in the same situation.

"No way, the average grade of our iron ore in the Great Lakes is only 35%, and the iron ore sold to us by Fawalt Iron and Steel Group has an average grade of 62%. If it were you, how would you choose?" Little Morgan said in a mood No, this situation is not good for anyone.

Although Fawalt Iron and Steel Group is still providing iron ore to U.S. Steel at a relatively low price, no one can guarantee whether Fawalt Iron and Steel Group will increase prices tomorrow.

Even if there is an agreement between Rock and Roosevelt Jr., there is no guarantee. The Americans have been profiting from Europe in the name of "free trade" before the outbreak of the World War. Of course, Fawalt Steel Group can also.

As for the agreement, the agreement signed by Roque and Roosevelt Jr. is limited to the cooperation between the two parties, and does not stipulate the specific price of iron ore. Assuming that Walther Steel Group increases the price, when the time comes, the federal government of Southern Africa will say "normal business practices" Can be pushed cleanly.

"Is there such a big gap?" Little John was surprised. The quality of oil in the United States is actually not bad. The main difference between the oil in the Persian Gulf and the oil in the Persian Gulf is the difficulty of extraction.

The grade of iron ore is very important. The gap between 45% and 55% can also be made up through technology and hard work. 35% and 62% are basically equivalent to the natural gap.

"It's so big. According to the news I got, the iron ore grade in southern Africa is higher, and the highest may exceed 70%—" Little Morgan's face was gloomy, God is really unfair.

"Stupid United Kingdom——" Little John was speechless, he gave up such a good place, and would be condemned by God: "What are you going to do?"

Little John wants to test Little Morgan's bottom line. If possible, the Morgan family and the Rockefeller family will join forces——

Whoa, that scene must be beautiful.

"Favalt Iron and Steel Group not only owns iron ore in Australia, but also iron ore in Brazil. Brazil's iron ore grade is also very high, more than 60%. If the status quo cannot be changed, then our American steel industry will sooner or later become a It is a vassal of the southern African iron and steel enterprises." Jr. Morgan now suspects that Henry is God himself, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence that in just 30 to [-] years, Fawalt Iron and Steel Group has collected all the highest-grade iron ore in the world in the bag.

In fact, it cannot be said that the iron ore with the highest average grade in the world is actually in southern Africa and India. Unfortunately, India's reserves are not high, and it is a British colony, so US steel companies cannot intervene.

Next is not Australia and Brazil, but Russia and Persia.

Not to mention Russia, Persia is the sphere of influence of Britain and Russia, and the United States cannot intervene either.

So the current situation is very depressing. Without high-grade ore, it cannot compete with Fawalt Steel Group.

And high-grade ore is controlled in the hands of southern Africa, the United Kingdom, and Russia, who will give it to the United States?
It would be nice to sell it to you.

"The resources in southern Africa are indeed enviable—" Little John also felt bitter in his heart.

The United States was once the most enviable country.

It is a pity that the BUG in southern Africa was born out of nowhere. The oil in the Persian Gulf, the iron mines in Australia and Brazil, and the almost unlimited human resources in the Far East have only experienced an economic crisis, and the United States seems to be faltering.

In previous economic crises, Americans harvested wool from Europe.

In this economic crisis, the United States was harvested by southern Africa.

It can only be said that sooner or later, those family businesses in the United States that rely on brutal expansion to complete their primitive accumulation have finally tasted the taste of being harvested.

It felt really sour.

"We have to break this situation." Jr. Morgan is planning for a rainy day, and people who have no foresight must have near-term worries.

"Good evening, Mr. Morgan, good evening, Mr. Rockefeller—" Charles Schwab finally took the initiative to say hello. Bethlehem Steel Company has been lucky in the past few years. Although the development speed has also been affected by the economic crisis, it has not yet reached the point of being unsustainable. .

The main guns of the US "Colorado" class battleships were manufactured by Bethlehem Steel Company.

"Good evening, Mr. Schwab, you have made frequent moves in the investment field recently, how have you gained?" Little Morgan smiled and struck out with precision and power.

After founding the Bethlehem Steel Company, Charles Schwab did not stop. The main business of the Morgan family is financial investment. While owning the second largest steel company in the United States, Charles Schwab was also the founder of Charles Schwab , the company was later hailed as the "king of the online economy" in the United States.

So Charles Schwab's business behavior is completely aimed at the Morgan family.

Unfortunately, Charles Schwab was far less gifted in finance than in the steel industry.

Everyone knows that during the economic crisis is a good opportunity to buy bottom.

When the economic crisis broke out, the wealth under Charles Schwab's name was about [-] million U.S. dollars, which was already among the top rich people in the United States at that time.

At that time, almost all powerful companies were frantically acquiring and merging small and medium-sized enterprises, so the carnival of capital was similar to this situation, and Charles Schwab was certainly no exception.

It's a pity that Charles Schwab's vision is not good. His frequent shots in the investment field did not bring him new wealth. As for even the operation of Bethlehem Steel Company has been affected.

In another time and space, Charles Schwab died on the verge of bankruptcy, another American myth shattered.

"Hahahaha, of course there are rewards. My investment method is to follow the Morgan family closely. I will buy whatever you buy." Charles Schwab made no secret that in the United States, the competition between U.S. Steel and Bethlehem has also arrived. The degree of close combat.

"Then congratulations—" Little Morgan said calmly, those who learn from me live, those who resemble me die.

After all, the Morgan family still has a background, which is not comparable to that of Charles Schwab.

Investing in this kind of thing requires strong professional knowledge. There are not many investment opportunities in the same field. There are only one or two companies that have potential and are on the verge of bankruptcy due to the economic crisis. After the acquisition by the Morgan family, Charles Schwab entered The field is already littered with rubble.

What Qi Baishi said by this sentence means that he lived to learn it, but blindly copying it mechanically will eventually lead to a dead end. Charles Schwab is right to invest in finance, but Charles Schwab will buy whatever the Morgan family buys. Sooner or later, Charles Schwab would be killed by the Morgan family.

"Mr. Schwab, Bethlehem Steel Company also wants to buy iron ore from Fawalt Steel Group?" Little John doesn't care about the involution of the steel industry. At this time, unanimity should be king.

"Yes, the grade of Brazilian ore is much higher than that of our American ore—" When Charles Schwab said this, he couldn't help but scold MMP, the shitty southern Africans are so lucky.

"It's a pity that South America was originally our sphere of influence in the United States, and the Americas belonged to the Americans. This was originally a feast prepared by God for us, but it's a pity that southern Africa took the biggest cake." Little John sneered, and Little Morgan and If Charles Schwab is still like this, U.S. Steel will die.

"How to say?" Little Morgan sincerely asked Little John for advice. The Rockefeller family is still very experienced in this kind of thing.

In fact, they all have experience. Looking at the fortune history of these big families in the United States, they are all full of blood.

"Minas Gerais, Itabira - Oro Prieto - Columba -" Little John is talking about the famous Iron Four Corners, this area is the world's most abundant reserves and the highest grade one of the iron mines.

The relationship between the United States and Brazil has always been good. After the Monroe Doctrine was proposed, the United States regarded the Americas as its own backyard. Now Brazil's iron mines are occupied by the Fawalt Steel Group. How can it be tolerated.

Little Morgan didn't speak, and of course he didn't want to accept this reality.

But it is not easy to take away the Iron Four Corners from Fawalt Steel Group.

If it fails, it will trigger a war between the United States and southern Africa.
