Start 1861: I Just Inherited the Dutch Throne

Chapter 386 What are the assets of the Dutch East India Company?

But by that time, the so-called international bankers, the largest ones among them, had become owned by the Commonwealth of America. Instead, they could use this to intervene in the internal financial affairs of other countries in the world, especially European countries. This Don't let people lament that things are changing.

As a person of later generations, William IV's vision of many things was far beyond that of people of this era.

The deployment was naturally ahead of its time.

William IV said: "At present, the overall situation in the United States has basically been decided. Next, it depends on whether Andrew Johnson's governance rules are in place."

Randy Alton nodded, "Irish President Lincoln stabbed Prussia in the back, and Prussia was suppressed. Prussian former Secretary of State Seward stabbed in the back, and Irish people were suppressed.

At present, these two ethnic groups have kept a low profile, while the Dutch are currently marching forward in the United States, and the William Group has also begun to conquer the city there, absorbing many of the essence of the American Commonwealth and strengthening the William Group."

"How is the Randy family in Millikin developing?"

William IV's question made Randy Alton pause for a moment, with a serious look on his face, and said: "No one has shaken the position of the first consortium. However, in recent years, the newly emerged Prussian Rockefeller Consortium and the British The Morgan consortium and the French-born DuPont consortium are developing rapidly. The Rockefeller consortium is very powerful in oil exploration. It is said that they are preparing to establish the Standard Oil Company. The Morgan family consortium focuses on the insurance and banking industries, especially in the introduction of international capital.

The DuPont family consortium developed in the gunpowder firearms and weapons business. Especially during the Civil War, the DuPont Group could be said to have made war fortune and officially entered the ranks of the first-class family consortiums in the Commonwealth of America.

There is also the Mellon family, which started out in industry and mining. Currently, as Millikin is developing rapidly, its development is not lagging behind the other three. The Mellon Bank is also in the process of preparation and is said to be established next year.

Obviously, all major financial groups want to use this approach to enter the banking industry. These three or four major families are currently potential rivals of the Randy family."

"In addition to the Randy family, I remember that there are also Citibank Group and Boston Group, right?"

Randy Alton's heart trembled. William IV's gentle question made him understand that it was a heavy blow.

It’s good that the Randy family currently belongs to the first consortium of the Commonwealth of America, but the Randy family is not the only Dutch descendant. Among them, the Citibank Group and the Boston Group have a long history. They were both developed by the Dutch East India Company in New York. As pioneers in Hong Kong, the reason why the Dutch were able to rise in America was actually inseparable from the strong support of these two major consortiums and the cooperation with the Randy family consortium.

The consortium headed by First Citibank consists of large companies and large enterprises that are closely related to the Dutch arms production.

In addition, there is the Boston Consortium. These families invest the huge wealth accumulated from overseas colonial plunder in commercial banks, insurance companies and investment companies. , and relied on these financial institutions to provide funds to operate the textile industry, tanning, shoemaking, clothing, food, chemical industry and other light textile industries. Due to the development of the light textile industry, now, as these families have been intermarrying with each other for generations, , with Boston as the core and the National Bank as the core, the Boston Consortium was formed.

William IV seemed to have unintentionally said: "Currently, these two major consortiums have invested heavily in developing the local economy in the Australian mainland. You know, the Australian mainland needs to develop into our future base camp, and these Dutch investments will have a positive impact on the local economy." It is very timely for us. As we come and go, these overseas Dutch people who are far away from home express their love for the Netherlands in this way, which really touches me, so"

William IV looked at Randy Alton, who was a little unnatural, and said: "I accepted their overtures. Perhaps, in a short while, the honor of being awarded the title of Dutch Knight will become a reality."

Randy Orton said happily: "That would be great for the Netherlands."

"Yes." William IV nodded and said, "Now, with your three major consortiums here in the American Commonwealth, I can finally feel relieved."

Among the ten major consortiums in the future American Commonwealth, of the six major consortiums currently emerging, the Dutch alone control two, accounting for one-third, and the Randy family consortium emerged unexpectedly. With his help, It has occupied the position of the first consortium at an unprecedented speed, with 3 of the seven major consortiums occupying. The Netherlands' position will be difficult to shake in a short period of time.

Coupled with the Andrew government of the American Commonwealth controlled by the Dutch, the official-business collusion has further consolidated the status of the Dutch.

At present, the strength of the Commonwealth of America is only acceptable to Europe. It is mainly reflected in the economy. Its military status is not obvious in Europe. However, only William IV knows that half a century later, it will be different.

Perhaps the current dominance of the Dutch family will be broken and its influence will become smaller, but it will be difficult for other families to replace it.

Perhaps many people in the future will question why William IV was so persistent in the Commonwealth of America and seemed to have used many of the resources of the Netherlands on the American side.

With all this energy, it would be better to develop fully in the Netherlands.

This statement is actually not bad, but the premise is that the Netherlands needs enough manpower.

The white population of just over 10 million, plus the 20 million Asian and African people, have contributed to the existence of the Dutch province to a certain extent, and it is necessary to suppress 20 million people. After all, there is a saying that people who are not our race will have different hearts. .

Naturally, William IV could not fully develop the potential of these 20 million people of color. At least until the white Dutch population can't keep up, they absolutely need to suppress the other side.

In the setting in William IV's mind, these people of color will develop from the perspective of being at the bottom of society in the development of the Far East of the Netherlands, and will appear as workers in construction, infrastructure, and handicraft industries. In order to obtain reliable And he has a skilled labor force, so he will propose universal primary education under the jurisdiction of the Netherlands, in order to increase a sufficient labor force. In terms of secondary education and higher education, as long as you look carefully, you will find that the degree There is an increasing preference for admissions to white Dutch.

This is the class design concept of the Kingdom of the Netherlands.

However, only a small number of people of color can rise to the top.

It was at that time in the 21st century, 150 years after Lincoln emancipated the black slaves in the Confederate States of America, that although their status was talked about every day, they were still deprived of their status by white people.

this is the truth.

Moreover, the Dutch East India Company was originally the world's earliest predator of colonial interests. The William Group, controlled by this group of 18 directors, was actually the staunchest supporter of the white Dutch.

"My Earl, tell me, how many assets does our Dutch East India Company, the Wilhelm Group, currently have?"
