The golden age of shipping was seized by the Greeks! Of course, they only seized the revival of shipping.
Thanks to the Greek shipping magnate married by Mrs. Kennedy, George learned about Onassis's experience and how prosperous the shipping industry was after the war.
The opportunity hidden in it is not the prosperity of shipping, but the opportunity for the re-emergence of the entire Western European world. If this opportunity is seized, the benefits will be unimaginable.
The Greek shipping magnates only got rich returns in shipping. They did not give full play to their shipping advantages and were only satisfied with being a transporter.
For George from the 21st century, there were too many successful cases in that era for him to learn from. If he wanted to make huge profits, the most important link was to diversify his business and make full use of his own advantages.
It is entirely possible to use the transportation advantages and the information advantages of multinational companies to allocate logistics and directly participate in market sales. In this way, more lucrative profits can naturally be obtained.
By making some arrangements in Europe in advance, you can take advantage of the European revival and get huge returns.
The profits obtained in Europe are the funds needed for the rise of Borneo, and it will even form a certain cycle-the more developed Western Europe is, the more lucrative the profits will be, and the more prosperous Borneo will be.
Just like...just like the United States! The Marshall Plan is actually a sugar-coated bullet given to Europe by the United States.
"So that's it..."
Suddenly, George seemed to have figured everything out. By this time, it was already dark, and Alberto had already left the office.
"My God, these guys on Wall Street are really not simple!"
Standing up from the big desk, walking across the room, and walking to the window, staring at the Manhattan business district downstairs, although you can't see the people and vehicles crawling on the street from the high-rise building, the moving lights on the road show the prosperity of the city.
Over there is Wall Street, the heart of this financial empire. No matter what those who belittle it say, Wall Street is destined to dominate world finance in the next few decades or even hundreds of years.
When did all this start?
Not tomorrow, not yesterday, but now!
Those well-dressed speculators are waving US dollars in their hands, acquiring all kinds of cheap assets in Europe. Their purpose of acquiring assets is not just to make money, but for another goal-to turn Europe into a leek field for the United States.
"The Marshall Plan is probably one of their links!"
George said to himself.
"Europe has accelerated its economic recovery through the Marshall Plan. The undervalued assets have restored their value along with the recovery of European countries. Europe seems to have recovered, but in fact it has long become a leek field for the United States. The more developed Europe is, the more beneficial it is to the United States, because in essence, the economies of European countries have long been controlled by American financial capital!"
Wow!
Taking a deep breath, George seemed to understand why in another world, even if European countries had many dissatisfactions with the United States, they only stayed in words. Was it because they were grateful for the liberation of the United States during World War II? And the post-war assistance?
Nonsense!
There is no gratitude between countries. Gratitude is always verbal. Interests are the most important.
The reason why European countries dare not turn against each other is... they don't have the capital to turn against each other! Because their capital is just covered with a layer of the shell of Britain, France, Germany and other countries. What will you see after tearing off that shell?
It is the financial capital of the United States!
"Good guy, it turns out that Mickey and others are the real European liberators..."
As he said this, George began to think in his heart. He has never been an idealist. As a realist. He knows what this world is: it is purely a jungle. There are only two kinds of animals living in this jungle, one is tigers and lions, and the other is sheep and hares.
The former is a predator, and the latter is a prey. No one wants to be a prey, but if you are not strong enough, you can only be a prey and be captured by predators.
But what about the predators and prey?
George's mouth curled up slightly. Standing on the Empire State Building, he stared at New York in the twilight. At this moment, he was like an eagle hovering in this jungle... The eagle is also a predator, but it moves above the sky.
