The Rise of Australia

Chapter 675 Everyone enters the scene

To be honest, Australasia's efforts to attract talents in Europe and the United States are actually somewhat lax.

After all, Australasia has taken the lead in aircraft, tanks, aircraft carriers, rockets, etc. This also makes Australasia's demand for European and American talents not so strong.

Attracting immigrants has been the main topic in recent years. Instead, it is about the introduction of technical talents. Although it is also being carried out, the intensity is much smaller than before.

After William Edward Boeing raised this issue this time, Arthur realized that the biggest gap between Australasia and the United States is actually not population and economy, but the mid-level talent pool over the years.

Perhaps the United States' technology in aircraft and tanks cannot keep up with Australasia, but the United States' reserve of mid-level talents far exceeds that of Australasia.

This phenomenon can be fully reflected in major private enterprises. The number of private companies in Australasia lags far behind that of the United States. In addition to the reasons caused by population, the lack of secondary talent reserves is also an important reason.

Although top talents determine the development direction of an industry, mid-level talents are also very important.

After all, top talents are useful for top talents, and mid-level talents are also useful for middle-level talents.

Only when a country has a large reserve of technical talents and sufficient reserves of top talents, middle talents and junior talents can it shine its own glory in a certain research field.

Australasia currently lacks foundation. Although it has made some progress, it will easily be overtaken by Europe and the United States.

If you want to stabilize your advantages, in addition to constantly attracting top talents, you must also cultivate your own middle-level talents to fill the vacancies of small and medium-sized private enterprises.

Only when state-owned enterprises and private enterprises, and top talents and mid-level talents work together, can all industries in Australasia flourish.

Arthur's order was quickly passed to the hands of Batty, the director of the Royal Security Intelligence Service, and then distributed to various intelligence personnel.

Fortunately, intelligence personnel are professionally trained and are involved in all aspects. Otherwise, wooing talents and acquiring companies will sooner or later make these intelligence officers busy.

In fact, compared to acquiring industries, in the current United States, it is easier to attract technical talents.

This is no exaggeration. For the United States, which has a population of more than 100 million, what do tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of technical talents mean?

On the contrary, it is the companies that have gone bankrupt one after another that are the sweet potatoes for those capitalists. Because everyone knows that the economic crisis cannot last too long, and the U.S. economy will return to normal sooner or later. new

This also means that only during an economic crisis is the best time to buy stocks. The more bankrupt companies you buy, the more you will make after the economic crisis.

But these technical talents are different. Every time you recruit a talent, you have to pay the same salary as that talent.

Moreover, these talents are abundant in the United States, and there is no rush for this moment. Recruiting too early will increase the costs of companies and consortiums during the economic crisis.

This also led to a strange phenomenon. When these intelligence officers began to attract technical talents, almost most of them were willing to go abroad for development.

Although the intelligence personnel did not explicitly say that the destination was Australasia, these technical talents had already agreed when they heard that it could provide them with stable and high-paying jobs.

Fortunately, there was no anti-fraud propaganda at this time. Otherwise, this would look more like fraud, and some technical talents might call the police.

Under the action of many intelligence personnel, the first batch of thousands of technical personnel was quickly gathered and headed for Australasia on the ships that had been prepared.

Because intelligence officials promised these technicians that if they brought their families there, they would also be able to provide jobs for their families.

This also allows the vast majority of technicians to travel with their families, which invisibly contributes to the immigration work in Australasia.

I believe that the immigrant population will increase in the new year, because the United States currently has no measures to control the economic crisis.

President Hoover's words of allowing every household in the United States to eat chicken and live a normal life again may be something Americans can only experience in their sleep.

Although the shortage of technical talents is always a problem, with the backbone of the company coming from Boeing and Douglas, the company has no problem maintaining operations for the time being.

In fact, when we break down the three major aircraft manufacturers in Australasia, there are certain differences in the fields of research.

The Royal Aircraft Factory specializes in military aircraft, and its best results so far are jet bombers and fighter jets.

Boeing has achieved certain results in single-wing propeller aircraft and has entered the passenger aircraft industry.

Douglas, the smallest company, is mainly involved in the field of transport aircraft. Whether it is a civilian transport aircraft or a military transport aircraft, its role is actually not small.

On this basis, the Royal Aircraft Factory is also involved in the field of passenger aircraft, and Boeing also designs military aircraft. Douglas Company has not been involved in other fields due to its relatively small scale before, but its capabilities are undoubtedly outstanding.

These three aircraft manufacturers, which are involved in different fields and compete and cooperate with each other, are also a benign relationship for the Australasian aircraft industry.

The military can even choose the best-designed aircraft among the three aircraft manufacturers. After all, it is Arthur's industry, and there is no loss for Arthur.

After the sites of Douglas and Boeing were determined, the most important task was to build their own wind tunnel.

The wind tunnel is very important for the design and construction of aircraft, because it can simulate the airflow around the aircraft to ensure that the design of the aircraft is reasonable, and on this basis, the fastest and most stable aircraft can be designed.

The world's earliest wind tunnel was probably built by the Englishman Wenham about 58 years ago. It was a wooden box with openings at both ends, with a cross-section of 45.7 cm × 45.7 cm and a length of 3.05 meters.

Although the shape of this wooden box is very simple, it successfully measures the resistance encountered by an object when it moves relative to the air.

Since the birth of the aircraft, the construction of wind tunnels has been a topic explored by major aircraft manufacturers.

The Royal Australasian Aircraft Factory was no exception and built its own successful wind tunnel.

Historically, the popularity of wind tunnels had to wait until after World War II. However, because Australasia was far ahead in aircraft, the construction of wind tunnels has also achieved results.

new

At present, Australasia has three types of wind tunnels: low speed, medium speed and high speed. The Royal Aircraft Manufacturing Factory will also help Douglas and Boeing build the wind tunnel laboratories they need.

A general wind tunnel mainly consists of the tunnel itself, a driving system and a measurement system. If you want to develop an aircraft with sufficiently good performance, you must go through a lot of experiments in the wind tunnel.

After Boeing and Douglas have their own wind tunnel laboratories, I believe they will have better ideas in aircraft design.

Just when the big bargain hunting operation in Australasia was going very smoothly, an accident happened suddenly.

1. Reporters reported that there was a large number of dips in the U.S. stock market. After their investigation, they found that these bargain hunting did not come from domestic consortiums in the United States, but the actions of capital from some European countries.

Although these dips were not targeted at Australasia, they certainly had an impact on the dips in Australasia.

After all, there are only so many markets. While these capitals are bargain-hunting, they also reduce the number of companies in Australasia that can bargain-hunt.

Coupled with the actions of domestic consortiums in the United States, this not only turned the U.S. stock market into chaos, but also made American companies on the verge of bankruptcy become prime targets for acquisitions.

This situation is bound to happen, and Arthur is not surprised by it.

Although stock exchanges in various European countries, including the London stock market, have also suffered huge crises, the distance between European countries is too close after all, and everyone does not dare to let go and buy the bottom. At most, they only act quietly, and grab whatever they can. .

More often than not, European countries are trying to save their own stock markets. After all, their own losses have been heavy, and they have little thought to care about others.

But the United States is different. First of all, the United States is still relatively far away from European countries, and it basically cannot threaten European countries.

Secondly, after the United States terminated the payment of compensation, it has offended a large number of European countries.

This has also made it inevitable for European countries to buy low-priced American companies. After all, the United States is like a soft persimmon with wealth in its hands. Who can be bullied if it does not bully the United States?

When the Americans reacted, everyone gathered together and said it was just normal business behavior. What could the Americans do?

In fact, European countries have already begun bargain hunting in March. However, at the beginning, European countries were relatively cautious and did not indulge too much. They basically conducted it in private.

But after a month of testing, it was discovered that the U.S. government's control over the stock market was not strict, and European countries became crazy about bargain hunting.

As American companies were acquired one after another, the United States finally responded in May and expressed its intention to regulate the stock market.

But it's too late now. All forces are frantically hunting for the bottom in the U.S. stock market, and it's not easy to manage.

Before the Americans took action, Arthur quickly provided a list of companies he wanted to acquire and asked the Intelligence Bureau to act as soon as possible.

This list mainly focuses on the chemical industry, electrical industry, military industry, light industry and shipbuilding industry. Apart from anything else, American shipbuilding technology is still good. After all, the scale and strength of the American navy are the confidence for the United States to remain a great power.

These are basically all heavy industries, and Americans should not give up so easily. However, Arthur is not pursuing all acquisitions.

If acquisition is not possible, try to purchase technology from well-known companies in these industries, and then build your own factories in Australasia for production.

In particular, the technology in the US shipbuilding and chemical industries is currently lacking in Australasia and can be purchased in large quantities during the economic crisis.

The Hoover administration's announcement of controlling the stock market was welcomed by Americans, but Americans soon discovered that something was wrong.

First of all, it is not easy to control the stock market, and it is likely to make the stock market more chaotic.

As for shutting down the stock market, the U.S. government is not yet so determined. After all, the stock market is related to major financial groups, and financial groups can influence the US government.

Although the U.S. government has investigated the countries behind the crazy bargain hunting, the problem is that the U.S. government has no good solution.

After all, Americans cannot resist the combined power of these countries. Can the United States still start a full-scale war with European countries?

Secondly, for those greedy capitalists in the United States, the truth is that they will sell their companies to whoever gives them more money.

As for the theory promoted by the government that selling companies will harm the government, only civilians will care about that kind of nonsense. Capitalists only see money and power. What is patriotism?

Precisely because a large number of capitalists value profits and money more, the U.S. government's measures to control the stock market have not been well implemented.

This also resulted in tens of thousands of companies being acquired in the United States in just a few weeks, including a large number of steel, oil, shipbuilding, automobile manufacturing and agricultural industries. This caused an immeasurable blow to the United States.

It is worth mentioning that countries like Turkey that did not suffer much losses during the economic crisis have also entered the market.

However, Turkey is obviously self-aware and does not target those important heavy industries. Instead, it acquires a large number of relatively cheap small factories to increase its industrial heritage.

Although this may seem trivial, it is a fatal blow to American industry.

Although these factories are cheap, they cannot support the large amount of Turkish capital acquisitions. Moreover, Turkey is not the only country that has not suffered damage from the economic crisis. A large number of countries with industrial deficiencies have entered the market in order to rob American industry.

As long as you can buy a factory, it is equivalent to creating a little industry for your country at a price far below the cost price.

Although one factory seems to have little effect on the improvement of the country's industry, the accumulation of dozens or hundreds of industries is a good supplement for countries with originally small industrial scales.

In a one-on-one situation, those countries may be afraid of the United States, but the current situation is that all countries are buying crazily in the U.S. stock market, and everyone is becoming bolder.

After all, everyone still understands the principle that the law does not punish the public. No matter how powerful the Americans are, they will not go against all countries participating in bargain hunting.

Moreover, some of the countries participating in bargain hunting also have the support of the British. This is also a British strategy. How to protect the London stock market from being copied at the bottom? The best way is to turn the attention of all countries to the New York stock market and protect the United Kingdom at the expense of the United States.
