Furthermore, in a few days, if other families learn about the location of the Jews, a steady stream of funds will immediately come from all over Germany, so within a short period of time, Gustav can guarantee that there will be absolutely no problems. .
Coal in the Ruhr area has increased tenfold in a short period of time. Naturally, it cannot be hidden from the eyes of interested people. Before the union of various families, the news was finally confirmed that the Jews took action. Although everyone is a little surprised that the Jews would choose Thyssen in the Ruhr area, this also shows that the Jews don't care about them at all.
After learning the news, everyone did not take any action in the first ten days, but continued to wait and see. Because they all understand that the friendship between Gustav, Thyssen, and Kodolpho is very deep. Not only that, their industries of coal, steel, and military industry also complement each other. If something happens to any one of them, The other two people will definitely help.
The news that came later confirmed their suspicions. Gustav and Kodolphus learned that Thyssen was in trouble and immediately appeared. Desperate men and Jews are driving up the price of coal. In just one month, the price of coal in the Ruhr area has increased 40 times. Fortunately it is not winter, otherwise ordinary families would not be able to buy the coal they need for a month with a year's salary.
Kodolpho's Steel Trust has been suspended for more than a month. Judging from the news they have received, even if the three Gustavs have strong capital, they will soon be unable to survive. All the coal in the Ruhr area was bought by Jews or Thyssen himself, and some small and medium-sized steel plants have closed down because there is no coal for steelmaking.
Lin Wei naturally also learned the news. There were several times when Lin Wei couldn't help but want to arrest the Jews, but after thinking about it, he decided to wait and see what would happen. Because if we take action now, some people can move funds out of Germany through secret channels. What Lin Wei wants is to let the Jews spend all their money in Germany, and then take action to acquire their industries, and then expel the Jewish forces from Germany in one fell swoop.
In Essen, Gustav and the others were secretly frightened by the Jewish capital. Although the Jews had always been famous in Europe for their wealth that rivaled other countries, Gustav still disdained it in his heart. However, Now that he really faced the Jews, Gustav realized how wrong he was.
Since the Jews began to drive up the price of coal, Thyssen ordered his workers to work overtime to increase production, causing Essen's coal mines to produce nearly twice as much as usual. So far, at least 300,000 tons have been mined, but they have been mined by the Jews. They ate them all without making a sound. This shows how terrifying the strength of the Jews is.
In terms of steel, steel factories that had lost their coal were closing down one after another. At this time, Jews came to buy them. The price given was quite reasonable, so in a short period of time, the Jews used the acquired factories to merge into a behemoth, which was comparable to Kodolpho's Steel Trust.
If this continues, the Jews will control Germany's steel industry. After all, Koudolf's steel kingdom is huge, but it has not yet occupied half of Germany's steel. Seventy percent of Germany's steel industry is in the Ruhr area. Dolph's Steel Trust only accounts for 20% of it. Excluding the better families of Koldowf, the remaining 40% is scattered among thousands of factories, large and small, in the Ruhr area.
If it were normal, Koldolf would not want to deal with them at all. After all, if he eats meat, he has to leave a mouthful of soup for others. Moreover, scattered steel plants will not pose a threat to Koldolf in his life. It can be said that in the steel industry, although Koudolf did not think of Gustav in the military industry or Thyssen in the coal industry, joining other families and squeezing small factories to nothing, he still managed to achieve a monopoly situation.
However, the injection of Jewish capital turned these usually inconspicuous small factories into powerful enemies. After the Jews began to raise enough money for steel factories, Gustav and the others began to focus on steel. Almost simultaneously with the Jews, the two sides began to compete for large and small steel plants in the Ruhr area. Although the Jews were one step ahead, Koudolf had gained a lot of power in this industry, so the two sides began to compete evenly.
At this time, people who had already wanted to sell the factory because there was no coal began to wait and see again. Even a fool can tell by now that something was not normal in the Ruhr area during this period. Everyone started to wait and see, preparing to buy their factory at a good price. Koudolf and the others did not resent this. After all, it is the nature of businessmen to pursue profits.
The takeover war has been going on for more than two months. What used to be thousands of steel factories in the Ruhr area has turned into a confrontation between two giants. The price range from hundreds of thousands to tens of millions made Gustav and the others feel very heavy. The price of coal continued to rise. It can be said that more than three months of tug-of-war had exhausted all their funds. .
Moreover, although winter has not yet fallen, the weather has begun to turn cooler, and ordinary people's demand for coal has begun to increase. But coal is so ridiculously expensive that it prohibits most people. Someone has already started making trouble.
In the Younger Villa on the outskirts of Berlin, Lin Wei sat in the living room of the house without saying a word for a long time. He held a photo of Amslow & Rothschild in his hand and didn't know what he was thinking about. In the photo, Amslow looks high-spirited. He is nearly 50 years old and appears to be smiling brightly in the photo. But the sharp eyes can make people feel that this person is not easy to deal with.
"Lampard, I can ask my grandpa to help." Linda walked out of the back room with a trace of anxiety on her beautiful face. It was obvious that she really wanted to help her husband.
Lin Wei quietly put the photo into his pocket without leaving any trace, and said with a smile, "Linda, things are not too bad. Grandpa is getting older, and he needs to take care of the family estate. Besides, this time his father has joined forces with Kou. Uncle Dolph and Uncle Thiessen, there will be absolutely no problem”.
Seeing Linda still wanting to speak, Lin Wei asked casually, "Where's little Albert? He's not sleeping again, is he? This kid is so sleepy. I was much more sensible than him when I was a kid."
"Isn't the child still young?" Linda followed Lin Wei's words, "You think everyone is like you, you are a weirdo. The child is just growing up." Lin Wei looked at Linda's chattering posture, I immediately stopped the unnecessary resistance and sighed in my heart, is this what I call a loving mother who loses her child
After chatting for a while, Lin Wei looked at his watch and said apologetically, "Linda, I have to go to the headquarters for a while. I have a meeting in the afternoon, so I may have to come back later in the evening."
"Okay, you go ahead." Linda said goodbye to Lin Wei with a smile.
Bang... After Lin Wei left, Linda's smile immediately turned cold and she immediately returned to her bedroom. After looking at the phone beside the bed for a long time, he dialed the phone at home, "Hey, Grandpa, this is Linda. Now I need to do a favor for my family. During this time..."
After hanging up the phone, Linda exhaled slowly. Why didn't she know about Lin Wei's little move just now? But as long as her husband made up his mind, no one could persuade him to come back. As a smart woman, and someone who had been treated since childhood, Linda did not expose Lin Wei's tricks. But when she saw Lin Wei forcing a smile, she decided what she should do.
Lin Wei arrived at the SS headquarters building and saw all the senior SS leaders except Heydrich. He nodded to signal the meeting to start. Looking at the people who were confused, Lin Wei explained, "In recent times, there have been abnormal changes in domestic prices. I believe everyone here has heard about it." Then Lin Wei's voice suddenly rose, "The coal in the Ruhr area has changed." Prices increased nearly a hundred times, and at the same time, small and medium-sized steel factories closed down one after another. The head of state was very angry and ordered us to find out what happened."
Louis has been responsible for the training of the armed SS. When he saw others, he did not dare to breathe. He said, "Leader, you summoned us because the solution to the matter has been determined. Just say it, don't scare us."
Looking at Louis with a playful smile, Lin Wei shook his head helplessly, handed over a stack of files and said, "Now, the Gestapo has found out that these things are related to some Jewish profiteers in the country, so..." Lin Wei looked around and shouted. "Robert. C. Crawford, I will leave this matter to you. I will give you one day. I want to see these people on the list between noon tomorrow."
"Leader, don't worry, they will appear at the police station before noon tomorrow," Robert C. Crawford assured loudly.
In front of a Baroque building in the western part of Munich, the Gestapo in black uniforms knocked on the door and said, "Mr. Karl Bardock, please come with us."
"Why, I committed no crime," Bardock replied angrily.
A sneer appeared on the Gestapo's stern face. "Mr. Bardock, I think you have not understood the situation. In Germany, the Gestapo does not need a reason to arrest people." After saying this, he glanced at the men next to him and "take them away." ".
In the port area of Dortmund and the St. Pauli district of Hamburg, similar situations unfolded across Germany that day. Within one day, hundreds of Jewish businessmen were arrested, leaving Amslow & Rothschild in the Frankfurt manor. Somewhat irritable.
Although Lin Wei captured these people, he did not expect to use forceful means to make them surrender. After all, Lin Wei still had a glimmer of hope in his mind, hoping that his father Gustav would use him to cause harm to the other party. After a short period of chaos, he took the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow.
Marx said that capital comes to the world, from head to toe, with blood and filth flowing from every pore. But capital itself is innocent. Capital inherently pursues profits and self-expansion.
The essence of capitalist economic crisis is a crisis of relative overproduction. Unlike Adam Smith, Marx believed that the capitalist economic crisis was a general crisis of overproduction, nor like Sismondi and Malthus, who believed that the capitalist economic crisis was a crisis of underconsumption. Marx believed that the essence of the capitalist economic crisis was The above is a crisis of relative overproduction.
