The Third Reich: The Return of the King
Chapter 92
The advent of penicillin made Johnson & Johnson famous in North America and even around the world.
People threatened by the flu virus have almost crossed the threshold of Johnson & Johnson's retail stores.
As Johnson & Johnson's flagship product, the 200,000 units of penicillin are sold at a very high price, but sales have not been affected at all.
In 1920 alone, penicillin had sold 150,000 copies, most of which were $400 and 200,000 units of penicillin injections, and a few were 500,000 units, and with this fist product, penicillin had received at least $60 million!
Part of the money was used to invest in expanding its operations in North America, and most of the rest was secretly sent to the German army's account in Swiss Bank through Goldman Sachs.
At the same time, a portion of the earnings of other companies that Mainz acquired in North America were also delivered.
This money adds up to nearly $80 million, which is equivalent to 1.6 million pounds when converted into pounds, and if there is this income for the next year, then in a year, Mainz can raise about 190 million pounds by sucking blood from North America!
This number is already very scary!
In wartime, this money is nothing at all, in the just concluded World War I, the military spending of both warring sides briefly climbed to the level of more than 10 billion Britain, but that was to kidnap the entire country on the chariot, and use the strength of the whole country to support the front line, so it can reach this level in the case of exhausting the strength of a country, but this state quickly dragged down the countries of Western Europe, including Great Britain!
After the end of World War I, the military spending of various countries fell rapidly, and in 1920, the military expenditure of the sun never set fell to 480 million pounds, and Mainz knew that after the signing of the Huasheng City Naval Treaty, the military expenditure of various countries would continue to decline, and the military expenditure of the Sun Never Setting Empire fell to 220 million pounds in 1922, and it remained low all year round, and as the world's strongest comprehensive national strength and the first economic strength of the eagle sauce, its military expenditure was even inferior to the Sun Never Setting Empire.
After 1920, Eagle Sauce's military spending fell rapidly, remaining below $900 million all year round, and even on the eve of the outbreak of World War in 1939, Eagle Sauce's military spending was only $930 million.
At this time, the exchange rate of the US dollar against the British pound was around 5 US dollars, that is, the military expenditure of Eagle Sauce was maintained within 160 million pounds all year round.
If these gains from North America can be stabilized, it means that Mainz's military spending is even higher than that of Eagle Sauce!
Of course, this is not counting President Hindenburg's appropriation for the army, although 50 million pounds a year is only a fraction of the countries, but this is also a lot of money, and together with the income he earns through business, Mainz's military spending in the hands of the empire has caught up with the sun, surpassing all other countries in the world!
With money in his hand, he can feel at ease, and with this money, he can rest assured and bold to do what he wants to do!
Of course, Mainz's acquisitions in North America are all large companies that will become well-known in the world in later generations, especially General Motors and Johnson & Johnson, two companies that he is very optimistic about.
Later generations of Eagle Sauce in China, there are several industries that are very profitable, one of them is in the field of medicine, the later generations of Eagle Sauce as the richest country in the world, but also the world's most expensive country, the reason for this phenomenon is that they have a very strong pharmaceutical group in China, they control the domestic medical field, medical treatment as a means of profit, rather than the work of curing diseases and saving people.
In the future, the annual turnover of Eagle Sauce's medical industry can account for 20% of the entire Eagle Sauce GDP, which is a huge market of more than 400 million US dollars, and the huge profits are unimaginable!
In addition to the medical industry, the automotive industry is also the most potential industry in the next 50 years, North America is sparsely populated, and the people's demand for cars is very huge, which makes car sales extremely considerable, and major automobile manufacturers can get a piece of the pie, and those who stand at the top, such as Ford and General Motors, can eat the most profits and become a monopoly group!
Of course, in addition to this, Mainz is also particularly interested in the petrochemical industry, which will be of great commercial interest for the next 100 years!
At this time, there was a small company in southern North America that was not very well-known and was suppressed by the Supreme Court - Texas Standard Oil.
The company was on the verge of bankruptcy at this time, and in the original history, in 190 years, Standard Oil Company should have been listed as a monopoly by the government and was forcibly dissolved, and after the forced dissolution, 34 branches went bankrupt because of the rupture of the capital chain.
But at this time, the company was ordered to complete the acquisition by Mainz.
The cost of the acquisition was very low, and Vanelke completed the acquisition of Texas Standard Oil for a low price of only $500,000.
After the acquisition, the company was quickly renamed ExxonMobil Oil Company and started to enter the oil field again!
Seeing the telegram from North America to complete the acquisition, a smile appeared on Mainz's face, Rockefeller exhausted his life's work to create Standard Oil, but he did not expect to be forced to dissolve the government because he was too powerful, and in the end he cheapened himself.
Texas oil has not been developed at this time, the main oil producing areas in North America at this time are California and New Mexico, Texas oil was produced as early as 1926, that is, six years later, but it was not until 1963 that Texas' oil fields were developed on a large scale, and it became the most important oil supplier in China.
It is precisely because there is no oil found here that Texas Standard Oil Company seems so down, and after being acquired by Goldman Sachs, it has not caused a little wave in this industry, and everyone doesn't care about this kind of thing at all.
In this regard, Mainz is naturally secretly happy in his heart, others don't know how much oil is in the ground in Texas, but he knows very well!
There are tens of billions of tons of oil here, and if you count the oil in Mexigo Bay, the oil reserves here can reach hundreds of billions of tons!
This oil is enough for the world for decades!
In response to Goldman Sachs' acquisition in North America, Mainz drew up a list of small companies that were not very famous at this time, but Mainz believed that they would rise rapidly in the future.
If Goldman Sachs Group wants to acquire GM Group like the last time, it will inevitably attract the world's attention because of the huge acquisition amount, but if they buy these small companies, it will be no problem at all, this kind of mergers and acquisitions are very frequent in North America, hundreds of cases occur every day, and everyone will naturally not be too interested.
So, when everyone was not paying attention, Vanelke bought all these companies that Mainz was very optimistic about according to Mainz's orders.
Some of these companies are now in the red, some are already profitable, and with Goldman Sachs' investment in these companies, these companies are basically moving in a good direction.
This means that with the rise of these companies, Mainz will be able to gain more and more revenue from North America!
The problem of military spending, which plagued the German army, will no longer be a problem, they will not even need a financial allocation from the state, and they will be able to support themselves only by taking a cut of the operating income from North America!_
