v2 Chapter 527: Independence referendum! ! ! (2 in 1)

After lunch, Henry asked his secretary if there were any better private villas nearby.

"There happens to be one!" the secretary nodded. "This villa has 2,500 square meters. It used to be a French private villa. After the outbreak of war in Madagascar, it was sold to us at a low price!"

"Notify Madam and they will move in this afternoon!" Henry raised his head and looked around and said, "Living here, it feels like I have come to the country!"

"Okay!" The secretary nodded and went outside to call and arrange the relocation.

At this time, CEO Tom of Winsom Architects came to the Royal Blue Mountain Palace.

"Hello, Mr. Williams!"

"En!" Henry nodded and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Mr. Williams, many of the buildings we design by Winsom are high-rise buildings, but Madagascar's industrial foundation is too poor to be built!"

Henry thought for a while and said: "Don't worry about this, I will buy related engineering equipment from the outside world!"

In fact, Henry had already considered this issue.

Madagascar's industry is so poor, can it produce large excavators and trucks? ? Can't. Therefore, the only way is to buy from the outside world. Henry has asked people to investigate the information of the world's top ten construction machinery manufacturing giants. At present, two companies have entered Henry's eyes!

The first is Caterpillar, the world's largest construction machinery manufacturing company.

Founded in 1925 and headquartered in Illinois, the company is one of the world's largest manufacturers of construction machinery and mining equipment, gas engines and industrial gas turbines, and one of the largest diesel engine manufacturers in the world. In terms of construction machinery, Caterpillar’s ​​main products include excavators, loaders, bulldozers, scrapers, graders, pavers, milling machines, stabilized soil mixers, off-road and mining dump trucks, pressure 10 series products including real machines.

The second company is Liebherr of Germany. The company's construction machinery products include complete tower cranes, truck-mounted cranes, hydraulic excavators, dump trucks, hydraulic pipe cranes, wheel loaders, crawler tractors and loaders, pipeline laying machines, concrete mixing plants and Mixer truck series. In addition, Liebherr also provides a variety of products in many other fields, such as cargo handling, including cranes for ships, containers and dock areas. In the field of factory and equipment manufacturing, Liebherr supplies machine tools, interlocking machine systems, aviation equipment and transportation technology. In the field of household appliances, Liebherr supplies a complete series of refrigerators and freezers.

It can be seen from the product lines of these two companies that their products are complementary in many ways and each has its own strength.

The two trucks that impressed Henry the most were the Liebherr T282 and Caterpillar 797. These two trucks are called land giants! Henry was taken aback when he saw it at first, and was surprised at how there is such a big truck in the world! The Caterpillar 797 weighs 288 tons, while the Liebherr T282 weighs 363 tons. Each tire of the two trucks is almost 3.8 meters high. When a person stands over, it is less than half the height of a tire. The large trucks you usually see on the road compare with them. They are just mini trucks! If this kind of giant truck is driving on the road, those who bump into porcelain will definitely take a detour!

In addition, as far as Henry knows, Haier was developed based on Liebherr's technology, and its origins are not small!

When Tom heard Henry say this, there was no problem, and then gave Henry a staffing arrangement for Winsom Architects in Madagascar. This time, Winsom sent more than 3,600 designers to Madagascar, and almost 80% of the designers in the office were used!

Then Tom said goodbye and left.

Henry picked up the phone and called his acquisition team.

"Smith, began to acquire Caterpillar of the United States and Liebherr of Germany!"

"understand!"

The information of Caterpillar and Liebherr was investigated by Smith personally, so he knew the situation of these two companies very well, "Mr. Williams, even after acquiring these two companies, he wants to transport these engineering equipment. Coming here is also a big problem. Look, are we buying another large marine transportation company!"

Smith paused, then continued: "Didn't you have acquired a large number of shipyards in the UK before? If you can own a marine transportation company, then the shipyard can produce and sell on its own! At the same time, it can also combat competitors. , Reducing the other party’s orders! In addition, Mr. Williams, there are so many industries under your name, and many things need to be transported by shipping, such as express delivery, steel, ore, electronic products, engineering equipment, food, etc., if you have A marine transportation company can not only save a lot of expenses, but also develop and grow the marine transportation company!"

Henry nodded, feeling that what Smith said was very reasonable, with his own industry enough to feed a world-class marine transportation company. The biggest customers of shipyards are these marine transportation companies. Mastering the marine transportation companies means mastering the shipyard's destiny. If they don't buy Korean and Japanese ships, wouldn't their income drop drastically?

Henry couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and he said: "Smith, since you said that, then you must have found an acquisition target!"

"Yes, Mr. Williams!" Smith nodded, "This company is called Maersk Group, the top ten famous shipping company in the world, and the world's largest container shipping company!"

Smith didn't say too much, so he clicked. He knew that Henry’s own boss, Leigh Williams, would not buy the company. If he wanted to buy, he would usually buy the leader of the industry!

Henry could not help being surprised when he heard the name Maersk. Maersk's name is almost astonishing, Henry had heard of it in his previous life. Maersk ranks first in the world’s transportation capacity. Every year, nearly 7 billion tons of goods are transported by the ocean alone, which is equivalent to one ton per person on the planet. Maersk ships call in ports every 13 minutes on average in the world. What kind of concept is this? Unbelievable!

"There is no place Maersk can't reach! Even a small Pacific island or an inland point in Africa!"

Maersk is so confident.

It is said that Maersk’s tax paid in Denmark has reached 40% of the country’s tax revenue, which is simply huge!

"Very good, then buy Maersk!!!" Henry said solemnly.

"Yes!"

After Henry hung up the phone, he couldn't help thinking, is it too awesome to do this?

Just when Henry was stunned, Lakshmi Mittal called.

"Mr. Williams, with the help of the British government, the European Union has agreed to the merger plan between Williams Steel and Arcelor Steel!" Lakshmi Mittal expressed excitement over the phone.

Henry was more calm. In his previous life, Lakshmi Mittal’s Tamir Steel Company annexed Arcelor Steel Company. In this life, it was only replaced by Williams Steel Company. The success rate should be quite high. Arcelor Steel was originally composed of the three major European steel giants, and was established to fight against Japanese steel companies. But even so, Arcelor is still not an opponent of Japan Steel. If a single steel company is compared, Arcelor Steel is the first in terms of scale. However, Europe can also get the best of Arcelor, but there are four major steel companies in Japan, and each of them is not much worse than Arcelor. The solidarity of the Japanese is obvious to all. The four major steel companies have joined forces to deal with Arcelor Steel, and Arcelor is naturally not an opponent. Today, Williams Steel and Arcelor Steel have merged and their strength has skyrocketed, and they can almost compete with Japan's four major steel companies!

The new company after the merger is still called Williams Steel, with a market value of nearly 180 billion U.S. dollars, Henry holds 66.5% of the shares, the original Arcelor Steel’s shareholders hold 30%, and Lakshmi Mittal personally holds Share 3.5%.

"Okay, I get it!" Henry said, "Let the factory fully start, after that, the global demand for steel will be very large!"

"Yes!"

...

...

In the afternoon, Henry's family moved to a nearby private villa. In the evening, Henry received a large number of Blackwater members. Under their operation, Madagascar will be announced tomorrow for a referendum on independence. By then, Henry Williams will be proposed to be the king of Madagascar!

In the middle of the night, the starry sky was shining, and Henry had insomnia.

He stared at the distant starry sky in a daze, thinking in his heart that there will be an independence referendum tomorrow, when the time comes, the whole world will know that he is going to be king in Madagascar and establish a new regime. What will people think? What is the attitude of the US government? !

"My dear, can't you sleep?" Kailena hugged Henry from behind and whispered.

Henry nodded and said: "Tomorrow there will be an independence referendum, I am a little nervous now!"

"What's so nervous about this, with your prestige in Madagascar and Blackwater's help, the king's position is a certainty. Since it is a king elected by the independence referendum, what qualifications do other countries have to make a fuss!" Kailena said.

Henry knew that this "other country" meant the United States.

"What's more, don't you have the support of the United Kingdom? Approve Madagascar to join the Commonwealth of Nations and become a member of it!" Kailena smiled, "Besides, you have been supporting your own government in the United States for these years. Although it is not comparable to other consortia, it is also not a small force. In addition, do you think these consortia in the United States want you to leave the United States or want you to stay in the United States? If you stay in the United States, you may take them More cheese will shake their status! If I were a member of the Morgan Consortium or the Rockefeller Consortium, I hope you leave the United States as far as possible..."

Henry nodded and smiled: "Yes, I want to be in the United States, they will only become more and more scared. If I go to the barren land of Madagascar, they should be looking for it..."

Kailena smiled and said, "Hehe, maybe these consortia in the United States will unite to help you..."

"Haha, it might really be like this..."

Henry laughed and kissed Kalena's little mouth. After a while, there was a sound that was not ashamed or irritable in the room...

...

Early the next morning, the air was fresh, with the fragrance of grass.

The independence referendum started at 9 o'clock in the morning. After breakfast, Henry and others sat in front of the TV and watched live TV.

This is not the election of the president, why Henry is embarrassed to canvass for votes. Do you want to tell them, I want to be a king, the Williams family will rule you for generations, and you will vote for me as quickly as possible?

At the very least, Henry will only appear until the independence referendum has a result.

Wait and wait, it's only 8 o'clock, and it's only an hour until 9 o'clock. But at this moment, Henry felt that life was like years, it was really difficult!

However, half an hour before the vote, there were growing calls from all parts of Madagascar for Henry Williams to be king.

"Mr. Henry Williams cares most about our Malagasy people. I think he should be elected our king!!!"

"Yes, Henry Williams is king, I will serve!!!"

"Yes, let Mr. Henry Williams be the king. He is so rich. In the future, Madagascar will definitely develop and our living standards will be greatly improved. Don't you think?!"

"Yes, Henry Williams, as the world's richest man, has trillions of dollars in fortune! Just put out some money, and Madagascar will undergo earth-shaking changes!"

"Support Henry Williams as king!!! Henry Williams is the most talented man on earth, who has created countless wealth and miracles. When he is our king, Madagascar will surely make Madagascar a rich and powerful country in the world!! !"

"Woo... I support Henry Williams as king. Without him, not only I would have starved to death, but even my grandson was starved to death. He gave me and my grandson's life, I Vote for him to be king!"

"..."

Some foreign media reporters are dumbfounded. What is the situation~lightnovelpub.net~In modern society, there are still people willing to let others be kings? Are these people's brains flooded? These reporters did not understand that Henry did a lot of things that moved the Malagasy people in Madagascar, and the members of Blackwater brainwashed these people every night, saying how and how well Henry was, and through the establishment of stone monuments, daily Pay homage. This is no longer a simple cult of personality, but a deification of Henry.

Therefore, under the long-term and imperceptible effect, Henry Williams was taken for granted by the Malagasy as king. What's more, many of these voters are members of Blackwater, and they will take the lead in supporting Henry as king! The people have a herd mentality and are extremely easy to be influenced, especially the uneducated Malagasy. Seeing such an exciting scene, coupled with the usual brainwashing, the brain became hot at the time and expressed their support for Henry as king.

Ding! ! !

At 9 o'clock, Madagascar's independence referendum officially began.

"Henry Williams is king, one vote!"

"Henry Williams is king, two votes!"

"Henry Williams is king, three votes!"

"..."

At this moment, the voting places in major cities in Madagascar are basically all voting for Henry as king.

The invited media reporters from all over the world were completely dumbfounded.

"Oh my god, is Henry Williams going to be king in Madagascar?!!!"
