Chapter 515

After lunch, Henry asked his secretary if there was a better private villa nearby.

"There's just one!" The Secretary nodded, "this villa has 2500 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!"

"Inform your wife that they will move in the afternoon!" Henry looked around and said, "living here, I feel like I'm in the country!"

"All right!" The Secretary nodded and went outside to make a phone call to arrange the move.

At this time, Tom, CEO of winsom architectural design firm, came to the royal blue mountain palace.

"Hello, Mr. Williams!"

"Yes Henry nodded and asked, "what can I do for you?"

"Mr. Williams, many of the buildings designed by winsom are high-rise buildings, but the industrial foundation of Madagascar is too poor to be built at all!"

Henry thought about it and said, "don't worry about that. I'll buy relevant engineering equipment from the outside world."

In fact, Henry had thought about it for a long time.

With such a poor industry, can Madagascar produce large excavators and trucks?? No. So 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 eye!

The first company is caterpillar, the largest construction machinery manufacturer in the world.

Founded in 1925 and headquartered in Illinois, USA, the company is one of the world's largest manufacturers of construction machinery and mining equipment, gas engines and industrial gas turbines, as well as one of the world's largest diesel engine manufacturers. In terms of construction machinery, Caterpillar's main products include excavators, loaders, bulldozers, scrapers, graders, pavers, milling machines, stabilized soil mixers, off highway and mining dump trucks, compactors and other 10 series products.

The second company is Liebherr. The company's construction machinery products include complete tower crane, truck mounted crane, hydraulic excavator, dump truck, hydraulic pipe hanger, wheel loader, crawler tractor and loader, pipe laying machine, concrete mixing plant and mixer series. In addition, Liebherr also provides a variety of products in many other areas, such as cargo handling, including marine, container and terminal cranes. 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 range of refrigerators and freezers.

From the product lines of the two companies, we can see that their products are complementary in many aspects, and each has its own strength.

Henry was most impressed by Liebherr t282 and caterpillar 797 trucks. These two trucks are land giants! When Henry saw it at first, he was surprised at how there could be such a big truck in the world! Caterpillar 797 weighs 288 tons, while Liebherr t282 weighs 363 tons. Each tire of the two trucks is almost 3.8 meters high, which is less than half the height of the tire when people stand by. Compared with them, the large trucks on the road are mini trucks! If this kind of Big Mac truck is on the road, those bumpers will definitely make a detour!

In addition, as far as Henry knows, Haier was developed in the technology of Liebherr. It has a long history!

When Tom heard Henry say that, he had no problem. Then he gave Henry a personnel arrangement of winsom architectural design firm in Madagascar. This time, winsom sent more than 3600 designers to Madagascar, almost using 80% of the designers!

Then Tom left.

Henry picked up the phone and called his acquisition team.

"Smith, start to buy American caterpillar and German Liebherr!"

"I understand!"

Smith personally investigated the information of caterpillar and Liebherr, so he knew the situation of the two companies very well. "Mr. Williams, even if he acquired the two companies, it was a big problem to transport these engineering equipment. You see, are we going to buy another large shipping company? "

Smith stopped for a moment and continued, "didn't you buy a lot of shipyards in England before? If you can have a shipping company, then the shipyard can produce and sell! At the same time, it can also crack down on competitors and reduce their orders! In addition, Mr. Williams, there are so many industries under your name. Many things need shipping, such as express delivery, steel, ore, electronic products, engineering equipment, grain and so on. If you have a maritime transportation company, you can not only save a lot of expenses, but also develop this maritime transportation company! "

Henry nodded, feeling that what Smith said was very reasonable. With so many industries, he could support a world-class maritime transportation company. The biggest customers of shipyards are these maritime transport companies. If they master the maritime transport companies, it means that they master the fate of shipyards. If they don't buy Korean and Japanese ships, their income will drop by a large margin!

Henry couldn't help smiling and said, "Smith, since you have said that, you must have found a good acquisition target!"

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

Smith didn't say much, so far. He knows that if his boss Henry Williams doesn't buy the company, he will. If he wants to buy the company, he usually wants to buy the leader of the industry!

Henry was slightly surprised to hear the name Maersk. Maersk's name is so popular that Henry had heard of it in his previous life. Maersk ranks first in the world's transport capacity. Every year, nearly 7 billion tons of goods are transported by sea, which is equivalent to one ton per person on earth. Moreover, Maersk's ships dock at the port every 13 minutes on average in the world. It's incredible!

"There's no place Maersk can't get to! Even a small island in the Pacific or an inland point in Africa! "

Maersk is so confident.

It is said that Maersk's tax revenue in Denmark has reached 40% of the country's total. It's a big bull!

"Very good, then buy Maersk company!" Henry said in a low voice.

"Yes

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

Just as Henry was stunned, Lakshmi Mittal called.

"Mr. Williams, with the help of the British government, the European Union has agreed to the merger plan of Williams steel and Arcelor steel!" Lakshmi Mittal was very excited on the phone.

Henry is much more calm. In his previous life, Lakshmi Mittal's Tamil Steel Company annexed Arcelor steel company. In this life, he just changed to Williams steel company. The success rate should be very high. Arcelor steel company was originally composed of three major European steel giants. At that time, it was set up to fight against Japanese steel enterprises. But even so, Arcelor is still not the rival of Japanese steel company. If a single steel company is compared, Arcelor steel is the first in terms of scale. However, Arcelor is the only steel company in Europe. However, Japan has four major steel companies, each of which is no worse than Arcelor. The spirit of Japanese solidarity is obvious to all. The four major steel companies joined hands to deal with Arcelor steel company, so Arcelor is not the opponent. Now, Williams steel company and Arcelor steel company merge, the strength soars, almost can compete with Japan's four major steel companies!

After the merger, the new company is still called Williams steel company, with a market value of nearly 180 billion US dollars. Henry holds 66.5% of the shares, Arcelor's shareholders hold 30% of the shares, and Lakshmi Mittal's personal shares hold 3.5%.

"OK, I see!" Henry said, "after the full start of the plant, the global demand for steel will be very large!" When he said the last three words, his tone became heavier.

Lakshmi Mittal nodded and said, "yes!"

……

……

In the afternoon, the henry family moved to a private villa nearby. In the evening, Henry met a large number of Blackwater members. Under their operation, tomorrow will announce Madagascar's independence referendum. At that time, Henry Williams will be proposed as king of Madagascar!

Late at night, with the stars shining, Henry lost sleep.

He looked at the distant starry sky in a daze, thinking that there will be an independence referendum tomorrow, when the world will know that he will be king in Madagascar and establish a new regime. What do people think? What's the attitude of the US government?!

"Can't you sleep, my dear?" Kellina hugged Henry from behind and whispered.

Henry nodded and said, "tomorrow's independence referendum. I'm a little nervous now!"

"It's nothing to be nervous about. With your prestige in Madagascar and the help of Blackwater, the throne is a certainty. Since he is the king elected by the independent referendum, what qualifications do other countries have to give directions! " Said Karina.

Henry knew that "other countries" meant the United States.

"What's more, don't you have the support of Britain? Ratification of Madagascar as a member of the Commonwealth Kailinna said with a smile, "besides, you have been supporting your own government in the United States all these years. Although you can't compete with other consortia, you are also a big force. In addition, do you think these consortia in the United States want you to leave the United States, or do you want you to stay in the United States? If you stay in the United States, you may take more of their cheese and shake their position! If I'm a member of the Morgan or Rockefeller group, I'd like you to leave the United States as far as possible... "

Henry nodded and said with a smile, "yes, I want to be in America. They will only be more and more scared. If I go to the barren land of Madagascar, they should be eager to get it.... "

Kailinna said with a smile: "ha ha, these American consortia may unite to help you..."

"Ha ha, it's really possible..."

Henry laughs and kisses kailina's little mouth. After a while, there's a shameless voice in the room

……

The next morning, the air was fresh and fragrant with grass.

The independence referendum started at 9 a.m. and Henry and others sat in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast after breakfast.

The independence referendum is not a presidential election. How can Henry canvass? Do you want to say to them, I want to be king, the Williams family will rule you from generation to generation, and vote for me as soon as possible?

At least, Henry will not show up until the independent referendum results.

Wait and wait. It's only 8 o'clock. It's only an hour until 9 o'clock. But at this moment, Henry thought it was hard to live like a year!

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

"Mr. Henry Williams is most concerned about us Malagasy people. I think we should choose him as our king!!"

"That's right, Henry Williams is king, I'll take it!"

"Yes, let Mr. Henry Williams be king. He has so much money. He will certainly develop Madagascar in the future, and our living standard will be greatly improved, don't you think?"

"Yes, as the richest man in the world, Henry Williams has trillions of dollars! Just give some money out and Madagascar will change dramatically! "

"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, he will make Madagascar a rich and powerful country in the world

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

“……”

Some foreign media reporters are silly. What's the situation. In modern society, is there anyone willing to let others be king? Are these people out of their heads? These reporters don't understand. Henry has done a lot of things that moved the Malagasy people in Madagascar. Moreover, members of Blackwater have brainwashed these people night and night, saying how good Henry is. Moreover, they have built stone tablets and paid a daily visit to them. This is no longer a simple cult, but a deification of Henry.

Therefore, under the long-term influence, Henry Williams became king, which was also taken for granted by the Malagasy people. What's more, many of these voters are Blackwater members, who lead and support Henry as king! And the people have a herd mentality and are extremely easy to be influenced, especially the Malagasy people who have no culture. Seeing such an exciting scene and being brainwashed too much, they also expressed their support for Henry to become king.

Ding!!!

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

"When Henry Williams is king, one vote!"

"Henry Williams is king, two votes!"

"Henry Williams is king, three votes!"

“……”

At this moment, the voting places of Madagascar's major cities are basically the same. Henry is king.

The invited journalists from all over the world were completely dumbfounded.

"Oh, my God, is Henry Williams going to be king of Madagascar?"
