After the initial shock, Lin Youde made some calculations and found that he had actually made a profit on the East India matter.
If the war actually started, not to mention the possibility of direct intervention by Britain and France, the money burned during the war alone would be much more than they spent preparing for the war in March. Moreover, the war would inevitably lead to the inability of Lin Ji's normal business activities.
Not only will Linji's rapid expansion be curbed, some areas with unstable foundations may even be counterattacked.
After all, although others could not completely copy Lin Ji's tactics, it was not a big problem to steal some things from him. After stealing from him, coupled with the original favorable location and people, as well as the war quagmire, the local businessmen drove away Lin Ji.
Don’t remember it too simply.
Now that he has captured the interests of the oil field without any bloodshed, he has also received preferential treatment in business, and the profits are leveraged. After three months of tightening business, Lin Ji can invest in expansion again.
This time Lin Kee has strong financial support from oil.
The Americans pretended to send a team of geological experts and pretended to drill seven or eight abandoned wells on the coastline of northeastern Sumatra. They did enough superficial work before a drill bit penetrated the first spouting well given by Lin Youde.
The earth's crust. For the next five months, the Americans kept making prototypes. Lin Youde gave the data of a well and they made a prototype for a month, and then drilled a self-effluent well. The exploration activities in this way came to an end around 1900.
, in the past three years, Lin Youde and the Americans have drilled out all the exploration results of half a century in the last time and space.
The East Indies Petroleum Company, a joint venture between Lin Youde's Lin Kee and the American Rockefeller Group, naturally became the world's top oil production company. The Times called this company's exploration in the East Indies the "Black Gold Miracle."
I don’t know where the British got the news, saying that these oils were discovered with the divination assistance of Lin Youde’s chief priest, Kusatsuhime. The Japanese government and the public were shocked for a while, and countless people condemned the government’s incompetence for giving such a powerful goddess to
Exiled.
Corresponding to the oil exploration, Lin Youde's Linji started a commercial expansion campaign to the East Indies with the commercial benefits promised by the Dutch government. Relying on the oil industry, Linji built oilfields near remote oil fields.
The plantation integrates the transportation of oil and general products. Moreover, because it occupies a remote location, and the Netherlands itself has relatively loose control over East India, the garrisons only stay near larger towns, so Lin Youde followed suit openly.
In the Lanfang Republic of the last time and space, a paramilitary organization was established to protect the factory.
The Germans are very unhappy about this, but many Dutch people in the Dutch East Indies have a very ambiguous attitude towards the merger of the two countries. We should turn a blind eye to things that the Germans are unhappy about - for this reason, Lin Youde
The armed forces of the organization continue to exist in broad daylight.
One effect brought about by Lin Kee's business expansion was the invasion of Nanyang Piao.
In the new towns built on oil and Lin Kee's reclamation, Nanyang notes are the common currency, and the indigenous people around these towns have gradually begun to accept Nanyang notes. This radiation is very slow, but it has a strong sense of existence.
Bit by bit, it was eroding the finances of the East Indies, which still used hard currency.
The strength of Nanyang Bank also benefited from Lam Kee’s futures trading and issuance of stocks such as bananas and cane sugar in Shanghai and New York. Lam Kee and Nanyang Bank were actually integrated, and the hard currency collected by Lam Kee went directly to Nanyang Bank.
Reserve system, these undoubtedly strengthen the gold content of Nanyang tickets.
By 1900, the exchange rates of hard currencies such as Nanyang notes and gold and silver had been maintained within a relatively stable range, which led many merchants who only had more business dealings with Lin Kee to start using this currency.
Lin Youde successively used his special skills to discover several financial and business talents, and then confidently and boldly entrusted these people with important tasks. Coupled with other bonuses provided by his golden fingers and the originally strong capital, the Nanyang Army's military conquest operation came to an end.
In the past few years, Lin Ji has repeatedly made extraordinary achievements in financial warfare.
Lin Youde didn't have to worry too much about all of this.
Lin Ji has matured, and even without Lin Youde, it will automatically operate and function as a profit-seeking business organization, and then continuously provide Lin Youde with the funds he needs.
So in the seven years from 1898 to 1905, Lin Youde focused more on other aspects.
The story of this volume is what Lin Youde did in the past seven years after he had strong financial support and a solid base.
