Bulgarian Empire

Vol 4 Chapter 48: , Be a black hand

The Moroccan crisis is coming, and the French have moved. Can the Germans bear it?

Ferdinand knew that if this could be endured, it would not be William II, but the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles!

We must know that Germany also has great interests in Morocco. Can German monopolies and colonial groups tolerate the loss of their own interests?

Obviously the Germans are not far off!

But can the French make concessions now?

There is no doubt that if the French government dares to make concessions on the Moroccan issue, the French people will not mind changing to a cabinet!

Of course, the Moroccan crisis has not exploded so quickly. Under normal circumstances, Germany and France will have to deal with each other for several months. In the end, the conflict will break out if they cannot agree.

Then pull in the Allies and the Allies together, and the two big alliances will play together!

Well, the Moroccan crisis has already appeared, and Ferdinand's hanging heart can be recovered, at least he does not have to worry about Germany and France really compromising!

As an emerging country, there is no one who doesn't want to break the current world pattern. Bulgaria is no exception. It's just that the Germans are a bit too strong, otherwise Ferdinand really doesn't mind joining them to carve up the world!

However, there is no if in this world. The Germans' strength makes Ferdinand feel threatened. Once the Germans defeated France again, then the European Big 6 will be their world, so how can Bulgaria be mixed?

In contrast, the cooperation with Britain and France is much better now. Even if they kill the Allies, their vitality will be greatly injured and they will no longer be able to suppress Bulgaria's expansion!

And in order to suppress the rising Americans, Britain and France had to win over Bulgaria!

After all, after World War I, even if Britain and France are combined forces, they can only barely suppress the Americans in the military, and this advantage is still declining over time!

Britain and France want to maintain a huge colonial empire, and the Americans want to break this system and establish a new hegemony. In history, the two sides did not fight, or the Soviet Union and Germany III have risen too fast, otherwise the Americans are likely to challenge world hegemony!

...

"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, all the rubber stocks in our hands have been sold off. From the current point of view, this crisis will not explode in a short time?" Little Carl said in confusion.

Due to Ferdinand’s butterfly effect, Bulgaria became the largest car producer in Eastern Europe. The cheap cars and pickups he produced were popular in Europe.

The exhibition of the automobile industry naturally stimulated the rubber market. As the market has expanded, the demand for rubber has also increased. This crisis that should have exploded in 191o has been delayed until now.

In the international market, rubber has soared from 2 shillings per pound in 19o2 to 14 shillings per pound in 191o. At the end of 191o, London's rubber stocks also rose. The stock of a company, initially 10 pounds per share, soon rose to 26o pounds per share.

Now that he knew this, how could Ferdinand let it go? So the bookmaker on the international market has added one more. After all, Ferdinand can now manipulate the Bulgarian market?

How could the London bankers refuse such a powerful speculator to enter the market? Otherwise, Ferdinand will do something tricky and let the market crash prematurely, and they will not be stuck!

For such financial hype, Ferdinand has no pressure. Anyway, Bulgaria has not yet opened up its financial markets. Even if the whole world has a financial crisis, the impact on Bulgaria will be minimal.

Oh, to be on the safe side, Ferdinand would naturally not be foolish to buy rubber stocks. At most, he would use financial means to act as an agent for stocks and make the intermediate price difference!

Of course, it is a good choice to open a few rubber companies by himself and use them to go public. Now, most of the stocks he has asked Karl to sell are his own.

To put it simply, Ferdinand took advantage of the current lax supervision of the financial market and directly sold most of his shares.

Under normal circumstances, this is impossible, and the stock exchange is not stupid. How can it not happen? But now is the beginning of the 20th century, and many big figures in London are participants. How can they tear each other down?

Although he still controls the company, in fact Ferdinand’s shares are no longer a major shareholder. If anyone wants to swallow his company, he only needs to buy shares on the market.

However, the current market price is dozens of times the actual value of the company. If any idiot wants to buy it, Ferdinand won't mind selling the last share in his hand!

Ferdinand smiled and said, "Little Carl, you can't compare to your father! If it were him, he would never ask such stupid questions. When will the crisis break out, why must we follow the laws of the market?

Isn't it possible to operate artificially? Think about it, if someone announces that a new breakthrough has been made in synthetic rubber technology, or that the global demand for rubber will slow down in the future, can rubber still maintain its current price?

The price cannot be kept, the stock is of course worthless, and of course the new crisis will burst! "

Ferdinand’s words made Carl Mousse alive, his worldview is undergoing a new change, mainly because his previous work has nothing to do with finance, and he has no experience in these operations.

Oh, there are few talents in this area in Bulgaria now! In order to encourage industry and avoid a situation where a large amount of funds are concentrated in the financial industry like Britain and France, Ferdinand has long taken measures to suppress the financial industry.

Bulgaria currently has no domestic stock exchange, and domestic companies are also prohibited from listing abroad. Even a wide range of stocks are illegal financing. Naturally, not many people are interested in this!

Even if it is difficult to raise funds illegally, Bulgarian law stipulates that any fund-raising activity must be completed under the supervision of the government, otherwise it will be an illegal fund-raising, and the government will directly confiscate the parties and hold them accountable.

In this context, who would be foolish to raise funds for you in private? Confiscated if caught, this retrospective period is still forever, even if the income is high, it is useless?

Without the cash cow of the financial market, domestic capitalists can only honestly invest in industry. Of course, the dream of getting rich overnight is also cut off.

After all, in the financial market, it is possible to increase assets several times or tens of times a year!

However, no matter how huge profits are invested in industry, it is impossible to have hundreds or even thousands of profits? Under normal circumstances, it is only a dozen points, or dozens of points of annual profit!

Therefore, compared with international capital, the wealth of Bulgarian capitalists is really nothing! Of course, the gap between rich and poor in Bulgarian society is far less than that in the capitalist world!

I have to say that habit is a good thing! Bulgarian capitalists have always been engaged in industrial investment, and everyone dismissed the soaring stock market abroad!

The slogan that Ferdinand has always shouted is "doing hard work to rejuvenate the country, and empty talk will lead to the country". In the eyes of many Bulgarians, the stock market is virtual because it cannot create value!

Oh, so the capitalists born and raised in Bulgaria are often looked down upon by international capitalists, thinking that they are all buns and have never seen a big market.

But it’s okay, you look down on me, and I also look down on you! How can you vampires in the financial market compare to us socially responsible industrialists?

Now the Bulgarian capitalists have formed their own systems and have continued to walk firmly on the road of industry. Everyone is dismissive of speculation!

To some extent, Ferdinand's goal has also been achieved. Capital is profit-seeking, and they can't help but flow to the most profitable places.

But when the Bulgarian capitalists appeared with a clear-cut face as industrial capitalists, they were cut off from the international financial capitalists, and they also attracted capitalists with the same views to come and group together.

This is very beneficial to Bulgaria's economic development. After all, the jobs created by investment in industry are far from comparable to the financial industry!

...

Time flies quickly. Soon after Ferdinand withdrew from the rubber market, German scientists announced that they had made a new breakthrough in synthetic rubber technology and showed the outside world car tires made of synthetic rubber.

This was undoubtedly a blow to the hot rubber stock market. The rubber stocks on the London stock market fell on the same day, but they slowly started to recover after a few days!

Well, as early as 188o, William II was like the outside world showing off car tires made of synthetic rubber, but it was not mass-produced!

This time is actually the same, of course, there is progress. This synthetic rubber can already be mass-produced, but the cost is not to mention it, anyway, it can't be used!

However, it can still be used to fool investors!

Immediately afterwards, the world's major rubber importing countries such as Bulgaria, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany announced to the outside world that the amount of rubber procurement will remain unchanged for the next year.

This news is really deadly, more serious than the emergence of synthetic rubber, which means that the market is saturated and the golden age of the rubber industry is over.

As for the previous artificial synthetic rubber, everyone knows that it cannot be launched to the market in a short while, and it will not affect everyone's interests in the short term!

Under the blow of a series of bad news, the stock market could no longer hold back. The market value of rubber stocks on the London stock market was steamed by one-fifth that day, and it continued to fall, and the rubber crisis was fully exploded!

In less than a month, the rubber stocks on the London stock market have fallen 95%, and many stocks have fallen below their prices!

At the same time, Shanghai, the financial market far in the East, cannot be left alone! Since the Manchu Qing government's supervision is about zero, the impact in Shanghai is even more tragic than in London!

Not only has the stock market been hit hard, but more importantly, it has spread to banks, and the private financial industry has been hit hard! In less than a year, Shanghai's banks have reduced by more than half.

Ferdinand pretended not to see all this. Anyway, it was caused by greed. No one can control it. The real poor don't know how to play stocks, they don't even have a capital!

Oh, Ferdinand still has a conscience. After the rubber stock crash, his company also announced a high-profile repurchase of the stock market.

Of course this price is the price of cabbage! Now it’s good for someone to buy it, don’t you see that most of the stocks have become a pile of waste paper?

Of course, as one of the black hands behind the scenes, naturally it is impossible to just make money on the stock market! I haven't seen him, why doesn't Ferdinand bother to go short?

Oh, it's not that Ferdinand has a conscience. UU Reading www.uukanshu.com is mainly about attracting the wind. This kind of hatred matter should be handed over to the consortium to show off. He can hide behind and make a lot of money.

After making a fortune from the hype, he just waited for the last dip. Anyway, the capitalist world has always affected the whole body, and other industries are inevitably involved.

Rather than grabbing food with the consortium on the rubber stocks where everyone's eyes are gathered, how about expanding into other industries?

Oh, these are also discussed in advance by everyone, each of which divides a piece of meat, and can't get over the boundary. If there is competition, can this be called bargain hunting?

Well, taking this opportunity, before the crisis broke, Ferdinand also took the opportunity to sell a lot of European industries, especially in the locations of major wars in history, with priority for withdrawal!

This is also a big trouble for the family. If you want to withdraw funds, you must be careful. Otherwise, if they are discovered, the capitalists of this year are not easy to talk about, and they won't be able to take advantage of the fire, but don't think about selling them at high prices!

Fortunately, it is only 1911. The contradictions between the two sides are not too deep, and there is no sign of a world war. If on the eve of the explosion of the world war, if Ferdinand wants to withdraw from the capital, I don't know how many favors he will have?

As for the fief, to be honest, Ferdinand really wants to be broken up and sold! Oh, no one can afford it without dismantling!

Unfortunately, this is impossible! Selling ancestral properties is not a glorious thing, whether in the East or the West, and it will damage Ferdinand's reputation for flawlessness.

If you don’t have money, you can make more money, but if you don’t have a reputation, you really don’t! Ferdinand could only watch with the pain, his ancestral industry worth tens of millions of pounds was gradually leaving him!

No, just leave temporarily. After the end of the World War, the small country that had just become independent probably didn't have the guts to attack his ancestors, right?
