After arriving in North America, Maynz and the others concealed their identities and changed into casual clothes to inspect the Eagle Sauce Country.
Yingjiang was currently the world's largest economy. This country had a vast territory, a large population, and rich resources. It had unique natural conditions.
Maynz knew very well that although the Sun Never Sets Empire still seemed to be the world overlord, its status as the world overlord began to slowly decline after the First World War. In the 1922 treaty of Hasheng City, the ratio of the naval tons of the Sun Never Sets Empire and Eagle Chan became 5:5. The signing of the treaty at Huasheng City marked that the Empire of Sun Never Sets had given up its position as the world overlord. By the time of the Second World War, the United States and the Soviet Union had naturally snatched the position of the world overlord from the hands of Britain and France!
Of course, during this process, the Hans people had miserably served as stepping stones and background boards. And it wasn't just once, but twice!
As the saying goes, the position of the world overlord of the Eagle Sauce world was not won by them, but by the German army through two world wars!
The inspection of Ying-chan was not only to execute their own financial plan, but also to understand the social atmosphere and industrial situation of Ying-chan, so as to judge its war potential.
After a month of inspection, the expressions of the delegation were very serious.
Yingchan's industrial strength was stronger than everyone had expected. Before they came to Yingchan, everyone's influence on North America was still in the primitive and backward era more than a hundred years ago. However, after they had seen it for themselves, they knew how ridiculous their ideas were.
"If Ying-chan can't become our ally in the future, she will definitely become our enemy, even more terrifying than the Sun Never Sets!”
Seeing that everyone had a deeper understanding of the country's strength, Mayinz was relieved. Although the group of people he brought out were not famous yet, they were the core members of his future government.
People like Goebbels, Spear, Ribbentrop, and Walter were all high officials in the later Nazi-era government. Some of them were good at propaganda, some were good at internal affairs, some were good at diplomacy, and some were good at economics. Although they seemed to have nothing to do with military affairs, Maynz knew the importance of these " chores." If they could do what they were good at, it would be of great help to the military operations of the Third Reich.
"Sir, what do you plan to do?"
Walter was older, so he spoke first.
……
On August 1, 1919, a group of mysterious guests arrived at the headquarters of the goldman sachs group.
No one knew where these people came from, but the employees knew that these people had a great background because they saw the founder of the group, Marcus Goldman, who was in his 90s, personally entertain these people.
These people didn't stay at the headquarters for long. They came and left in a hurry. Two days later, the goldman sachs group suddenly acquired a car company, the general motor group!
Although the amount of the transaction was not disclosed, according to sources, the acquisition cost the company about 50 million US dollars!
This deal shocked the entire United States, so much so that the headlines of all major newspapers rushed to report on this matter for a week!
Many people thought that this was crazy. Although GM was one of the major car manufacturers in North America, its valuation was definitely not as much as 50 million. When GM proposed to acquire Ford Group, Ford Group's offer of 8 million scared GM away. Ford Group's scale and products were not inferior to GM. Ford was only worth 8 million, how could GM be worth 50 million?
Thinking of this, many people felt that this deal by goldman sachs was very unwise. In the eyes of many investors, goldman sachs was a typical example of people being stupid and rich!
However, when everyone thought that the deal with the goldman sachs was a loss, they didn't notice that as the entire country and even the world rushed to report on this matter, the goldman sachs group, which was previously only a little famous and not particularly famous investment bank, had become famous after this incident. Its popularity among the people had almost reached the level of household names!
Although everyone laughed at how stupid and rich they were, they also realized how strong their financial resources were. They had both financial resources and reputation, which made them one of the top investment banks in North America.
As a result, after completing the acquisition of General Electric, the business volume of the goldman sachs group also began to soar. In half a year, it had soared by more than five times!
From this point of view, even if the investment of the General Electric Group by goldman sachs made a loss, it would not affect anything, because they could earn back the investment of 50 million dollars in a year at most!
Moreover, the acquisition of General Electric Group would not only not result in a loss, but it would also be a huge profit!
In North America in 1919, with the end of the First World War, the government's financial resources and the people's financial resources were greatly improved after the Eagle Alliance plundered a large amount of war spoils from Europe.
The increase in social wealth greatly increased the income of the people. Therefore, in order to pursue a better quality of life, the real estate and auto industries in North America ushered in a prosperous and rapid development stage.
As a result, the originally sluggish car sales began to rise from the bottom and entered a period of rapid growth.
Of course, during this period, Ford was the well-deserved leader in the auto industry. Ford's annual production was about 750,000 vehicles, which exceeded the total production of 17 countries including England, France, Germany, Japan, and Austria.
The main reason for Ford's popularity was that Ford introduced the famous Model T in 1908. The main change of this car was to reduce the price of the car from the original 800 US dollars to 200 US dollars, which was four times lower. This made the car that was originally only affordable to the upper class and high-income people suddenly enter the homes of ordinary people, becoming an affordable existence for ordinary people!
With a price far lower than its peers, Ford cars began to enter thousands of households. From 1908 to 1927, before the Model T was stopped, this car sold an exaggerated 15 million units!
The success of the Model T not only allowed cars to enter thousands of households, but it also opened up the market and laid the foundation for the country of cars in North America, making car culture a part of the lives of the people in North America!
Mayinz knew that the North American car market would continue to grow in the future. This country had a population of more than 100 million. During peak times, the annual production of cars could reach 5 million. This was still very exaggerated in this era. Even if each car was only sold for 200 US dollars, it was still a huge market of 1 billion US dollars!
How could he let it go?
