Rise of Australia

Chapter 294 Buying the bottom rubber company
The good news is that there are not many other industries involved in this rubber crisis, and the crisis almost only stays in the rubber industry.

Coupled with the strict supervision of the securities market in other European countries, corresponding policies were introduced immediately after the crash of the rubber stock market to manage, which led to the stock market and economy in most regions, including Australasia, suffered The volatility is not too large, and a large-scale economic crisis around the world has been avoided.

In order to prevent the Sydney Stock Exchange from being affected too much, Arthur asked the royal consortium to make a high-profile announcement to acquire all rubber company stocks on the market when the rubber stock price plummeted to less than half of the issue price.

This move saved the economy of some Australasian rubber companies and allowed some shareholders to sell their shares.

This action will not be too bad for Arthur. After all, the stock of the rubber company has fallen to the bottom price now, and it will not fall any further.

Anyway, Arthur's royal family consortium made a lot of money in this rubber event, and it should take a little bit of money to save the rubber market in Australasia.

As for the rubber market and rubber companies in other parts of the world, Arthur can only express his inability to do anything.

Anyway, the rubber industry is facing such a huge crisis, which is largely caused by the greed of these small capitals.

In this rubber crisis, Arthur didn't actually earn much.Although he knew that shorting the stocks of the rubber company could make the royal consortium a lot of profits, Arthur was not interested in such ill-gotten gains. After all, for a monarch of a country, reputation is more important than money.

However, there is a nation that has been wantonly shorting in this rubber crisis and has amassed a large amount of funds.

This nation is a well-known Jewish nation in history, but this has also led to an increase in the hatred of Jews among many people in Europe.

Anti-Semitic actions even broke out in some areas, making the life of some low-level Jews more difficult.

This can also be regarded as the Jews asking for trouble. After all, it is okay to be greedy, but not too greedy.

Facing such an extremely greedy nation, who would have a good impression of it?

Historically, after the end of the First World War, the phenomenon of the 50-mark bread that the defeated Germans were faced with had the Jewish actions behind the scenes.

This also led to the Holocaust of the Jews in disguise after the Third Reich came to power. After all, in the hearts of all Germans at that time, the hatred of the Jews was engraved in their bones.

At the beginning of May 1911, the Kent butler came to report to Arthur the results of the royal consortium in the rubber crisis with a happy face.

Since its establishment, the royal consortium has invested nearly 200 million Australian dollars, created and invested in more than 200 rubber companies and more than [-] rubber production parks.

At that time, the Sydney Stock Exchange was not yet listed, and Arthur was aware of the losses caused by the rubber crisis to the stock exchange and the national economy. Therefore, these rubber companies established and invested by the royal consortium were generally listed in other foreign regions. Including New York, London and more.

"Your Majesty, our income during the stock sale period exceeded 1300 million Australian dollars, and the income from cashing out stocks at high prices was as high as 3100 million Australian dollars. After deducting a series of expenses during this period, our total profit should be as high as more than 3500 million Australian dollars." Kent Butler smiled Feel free to report to Arthur.

The annual profit of the royal consortium is more than 3500 million Australian dollars, which is why the Kent steward was not too moved when he reported.

But after all, this money was obtained for nothing, and it is enough to make people happy.

"How much did we spend in recovering stocks after this stock market disaster?" Arthur asked with interest.

Many Australasian investors are grateful for the royal consortium's high-profile recovery of all rubber stocks on the market.

After all, if it wasn't for the acquisition by the royal consortium, I'm afraid the stock price would drop by more than half, and it would really be worse than waste paper by then.

"There are not many rubber companies listed in Sydney. So far, we have acquired all the shares of most of the rubber companies listed in Sydney, which cost us a total of 59 Australian dollars." Kent Butler continued.

Although there are more than a dozen rubber companies listed in Sydney, if you want to acquire these companies before the rubber crisis breaks out, you have to pay at least more than 1000 million Australian dollars.

But now, with a simple AUD 59, perhaps just a fraction of what it was before, you can buy all the shares listed by these companies.

Moreover, the rubber companies listed in Sydney are generally of relatively good qualifications, and these rubber companies are fully capable of continuing to put into production after the rubber crisis.

Because according to Arthur's knowledge, even in later generations, synthetic rubber has not been able to fully replace natural rubber.

This also means that although these natural rubber plantations and rubber companies are currently suffering from a crisis, their overall value and role are not small.

In fact, the real reason for this rubber crisis is not only the saturation of synthetic rubber and rubber production, but also the chaotic rubber market. In Southeast Asia, the main rubber production area, there are a large number of shell companies.

After the rubber crisis eliminated most of the rubber companies and those shell rubber companies, the rubber market will stabilize in a few years.

After discussing with the Kent steward for a long time, Arthur decided to start buying stocks of rubber companies and rubber estates in Southeast Asia on a large scale after some rubber estates and company stocks in Southeast Asia reached their lowest point.

This time is almost the best time to start, and even only need to invest a few million Australian dollars, you can buy hundreds of rubber companies.

More importantly, Southeast Asia is very close to Australasia, and Australasia still has some influence in this area.

After acquiring these rubber companies and estates, Arthur also has the ability to fully control them, thereby affecting the rubber prices in Southeast Asia and the entire world.

With Arthur's approval, the royal consortium is expected to invest at least 800 million Australian dollars to acquire rubber companies and estates in Southeast Asia.

As for the rubber companies in other regions, they are not considered by the royal consortium for the time being. After all, Australasia's hand cannot be stretched so far for the time being, and the benefits of the rubber market are not something that Arthur alone can eat.

Of course, after the acquisition of the stocks of these rubber companies, delisting must be done.

It is definitely impossible to make money from the stocks of these rubber companies. At least within a dozen years, the rubber market will never be able to return to the grand state it was before the crisis.

For the stock market at this time, selling the stocks in their hands is the dream of all stockholders.

Therefore, when the royal consortium bought rubber stocks aggressively, a large number of shareholders began to sell their stocks. This also allowed the royal consortium to reap stocks in many rubber markets in Southeast Asia in a short period of time, with a total of more than 100 rubber companies and 200 rubber estates.

The acquisition lasted for more than half a month, and the number of rubber companies acquired by the royal consortium increased to more than 500, and the number of rubber manors reached more than 1000.

At the same time, almost all other rubber companies in the market were acquired, and a vigorous rubber crisis ended.

The royal consortium currently owns more than 500 rubber companies and more than 1000 rubber manors. The combination of these rubber companies is not a small business.

After careful consideration, Arthur decided to unite all the rubber companies in Southeast Asia to establish the Australian Rubber Company and operate independently.

After all, the current scale of the royal consortium is already very large. Even if Arthur can control it now, it may not be controlled by the next monarch or every subsequent monarch in the future.

It's better to prepare for the split of the royal consortium in advance, split the royal consortium into big giants in various industries, and the royal family will be the master behind the scenes.

If you don't show up, you can get a lot of dividends every year. Isn't this more memorable than controlling a group?
The time has entered May, and several more important news have ushered in the world.

The first is that the Qing Dynasty in the east officially began to implement the responsible cabinet system.But Arthur is not too optimistic about such a change, because those who can enter the cabinet are still royal nobles after all, and ordinary people are basically not qualified to get involved.

In addition to establishing a responsible cabinet, the Qing state also nationalized the country's railways, which also aroused domestic anger.

On the European side, the Italian-Turkish war has also become more and more intense.

On May 5, more than 1 Italian troops landed in Tripoli, officially starting the first battle of the Italian-Turkish war.

Compared with the Turkish garrison army, the Italian army has a clear advantage in the number of equipment.

As one of the great powers, Italy also used its fleet to blockade the coast of Tripoli, and even dispatched military airships and aircraft to participate in this war.

Just like in history, this is the first time in the history of human warfare that an aircraft is used to participate in a war.

However, due to the influence of Australasia before, the progress of aircraft research and development in European countries is generally not fast. The military aircraft dispatched by Italy are even more backward than those dispatched by them in history.

However, the development of Italian airships has made some progress, and this time more airships than aircraft were dispatched to participate in the battle.

The superiority from the air made the Turkish army miserable, and the British directly prohibited the Turkish reinforcements from passing through Egypt, leaving the Turkish army in Tripoli without any reinforcements and fell into a lonely place.

The act of the British helping the Italians made the Turkish government and people very angry.But at the same time, the conflict between Turkey and Italy has also deepened sharply, which is why the Turkish people still did not choose to join the Allies after being hostile to the British.

Arthur looked at the battle report from Europe and shook his head. He wondered if the event that directly allowed Turkey to join the Allies in history would still happen in this world?
