Chapter 337: Chapter 293: Bottom Fishing for Rubber Company

    The good news is that the Rubber Crisis does not involve many other industries, and the crisis is almost limited to the rubber industry.


    In addition, the strict supervision of the stock market by other European countries led to the implemtation of corresponding policies after the copse of the rubber stock market, which in turn caused the stock markets and economies in most regions, including Austrsia, to not suffer too much fluctuation and avoid arge-scale global economic crisis.


    In order to minimize the impact on the Sydney Stock Exchange, Arthur instructed the Royal Financial Group to announce the acquisition of all rubberpany stocks on the market wh the rubber stock prices plunged to less than half of their issue price.


    This move saved the economies of some Austrsian rubberpanies and allowed some investors to sell their stocks.


    For Arthur, this action would not cause too much loss, since the shares of rubberpanies have already fall to their lowest price, and they can''t fall much lower.


    After all, Arthur''s Royal Financial Group made quite a fortune in this rubber boom, so it was only right to spd some of that money to save the rubber market in Austrsia.


    As for the rubber markets and rubberpanies in other parts of the world, Arthur could only say that he was helpless.


    After all, the currt crisis facing the rubber industry isrgely caused by the greed of these small-scale capitalists.


    In this Rubber Crisis, Arthur did not actually make much money. Although he knew that shorting rubber stocks could bring in huge profits for the Royal Financial Group, Arthur was not interested in such ill-gott gains, as reputation is more important than capital for a monarch.


    However, one ethnic group profited greatly from this crisis by shorting stocks and amassingrge amounts of capital.


    That group was the historically famous Jewish ethnicity, but this also led to increased hatred toward Jews among many Europeans.


    Some areas ev saw anti-Semitic actions, making life difficult for some lower-ss Jews.


    This could be considered as the Jews bringing misfortune onto themselves, as one can be greedy, but not too greedy.


    Facing such an extremely greedy nation, who would have a good impression of them?


    After World War I, defeated Germans had to deal with the phomon of 500,000 marks bread, and Jews yed a significant role in contributing to this misery.


    This indirectly led to the Holocaust of Jews under the Third Reich, as the hatred for Jews was deeply ingrained in the hearts of all Germans at that time.


    In early May 9, Butler Kt happily reported to Arthur on the spoils the Royal Financial Group had reaped in the Rubber Crisis.


    Since its establishmt, the Royal Financial Group had invested nearly  million Australian dors, creating and investing in more than 40 rubberpanies and over 00 rubber production gards.


    At that time, the Sydney Stock Exchange had not yet be listed, and knowing the damages the rubber crisis would bring to the stock market and national economy, Arthur made sure that these rubberpanies were listed in other regions overseas, such as New York, London, etc.


    "Your Majesty, our ie from selling shares exceeded 3 million Australian dors, and the proceeds from liquidating stocks at high prices reached 3 million Australian dors. After deducting various expses during this period, our total profit should be over 35 million Australian dors." said Butler Kt with a smile.


    The Royal Financial Group''s annual profit was already more than 35 million Australian dors, which was why Butler Kt did not show too much emotion while reporting.


    Nevertheless, this money was earned effortlessly, which was ough to make people happy.


    "How much did we spd on repurchasing stocks after the stock market disaster?" Arthur asked with interest.


    The Royal Financial Group''s high-profile acquisition of all rubber stocks on the market had be greatly appreciated by many Austrsian investors.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om


    After all, if it were not for the acquisition by the Royal Financial Group, the stock price would have fall further, making it less valuable than waste paper.


    "There were not many rubberpanies listed in Sydney in the first ce. Up to now, we have purchased almost all the shares of the majority of the listed rubberpanies in Sydney, spding a total of 590,000 Australian dors." continued Butler Kt.


    Although there were only about t rubberpanies listed in Sydney, purchasing thesepanies before the outbreak of the Rubber Crisis would have required at least  million Australian dors.


    Now, with a mere 590,000 Australian dors, perhaps only a fraction of the previous amount, all the shares of these listedpanies could be bought.


    Moreover, the rubberpanies listed in Sydney were gerally in good standing and could continue production after the Rubber Crisis.


    Because in Arthur''s knowledge, ev inter gerations, synthetic rubber could not tirely rece natural rubber.


    This means that the value and role of these natural rubber ntations and rubberpanies were still significant, despite the currt crisis they faced.


    In fact, the real cause of the Rubber Crisis, besides synthetic rubber and the saturation of rubber production, was the confusion in the rubber market. In Southeast Asia, a major rubber-producing region, there were numerous shellpanies.


    After eliminating the majority of rubber businesses and shell rubberpanies in the rubber crisis, the rubber market would stabilize again in a few years.


    After much discussion with Butler Kt, Arthur decided to begin arge-scale acquisition of Southeast Asian rubberpany stocks and rubber ntations after they reached their lowest point.


    The timing was almost perfect, as investing just a few million Australian dors could buy hundreds of rubberpanies.


    More importantly, Southeast Asia is very close to Austrsia, and Austrsia''s influce is still significant in this region.


    After acquiring these rubberpanies and ntations, Arthur would have the power to fully control them and th influce the rubber prices in Southeast Asia and the tire world.


    With Arthur''s approval, the Royal financial group ns to invest at least 8 million Australian dors to acquire rubberpanies and ntations in the Southeast Asian region.


    As for rubberpanies in other regions, they are not currtly being considered for acquisition by the Royal financial group, because Austrsia''s reach cannot extd that far, and the rubber market is not something Arthur can monopolize tirely.


    Of course, after acquiring the stock of these rubberpanies, the necessary delistings must still be carried out.


    There''s no doubt that making money from these rubber stocks is impossible, and the rubber market will not recover to its pre-crisis state for at least a decade.


    At this time, selling stocks was increasingly the goal of every stockholder in the stock market.


    Therefore, wh the Royal financial group began to acquire rubber stocks inrge quantities, many stockholders started to sell their stocks, and the Royal financial group quickly acquired stocks for more than 0 rubberpanies and 00 rubber ntations in Southeast Asia.


    The acquisitionsted for more than half a month, with the Royal financial group acquiring more than 500 rubberpanies and over ,000 rubber ntations.


    Meanwhile, the remaining rubberpanies on the market were almost all acquired, and the tumultuous rubber crisis came to an d.


    The Royal financial group now owns more than 500 rubberpanies and over ,000 rubber ntations. Thesebined rubberpanies are no small terprise.


    After careful consideration, Arthur decided to merge the rubberpanies in Southeast Asia into the Australian Rubber Company, run indepdtly.


    After all, the scale of the Royal financial group is already quite massive, and ev if Arthur can control it now, it may not necessarily be controlled by the next monarch or subsequt monarchs.


    It is better to prepare for the breakup of the Royal financial group early, splitting it into industry giants, with the royal family as the behind-the-sces controller.


    Without directly participating, the royal family could still receive substantial dividds every year - a better oue than running a conglomerate and being targeted by others.


    As time tered May, several major news evts urred worldwide.


    The first was the formal implemtation of the Cab System in the Qing Empire of the East. However, Arthur was not very optimistic about this change, as positions in the Cab were still reserved for royal family members and nobles, with ordinary people basically ineligible.


    In addition to the establishmt of the Cab System, the Qing Empire nationalized all railways, causing widespread outrage domestically.


    In Europe, the intsity of the Italo-Turkish War continued to escte.


    On May st, more than 0,000 Italian troopsnded in Tripoli, marking the first battle of the Italo-Turkish War.


    Compared to the Turkish garrison, the Italian army had a clear advantage in equipmt and numbers.


    As one of the great powers, Italy used its fleet to blockade Tripoli''s coastline and ev deployed military airships and aircraft to participate in the war.


    As in history, this was the first time that aircraft had be used in warfare.


    However, due to the influce of Austrsia earlier, the progress of aircraft developmt among European nations was gerally slow, and the military aircraft deployed by Italy were ev more outdated than those in history.


    That being said, the developmt of Italian airships did see some progress, and more airships than aircraft participated in the fighting.


    The aerial advantage made it difficult for the Turkish army, and the British prevting Turkish reinforcemts from tering Egypt resulted in the Turkish army in Tripoli being trapped without any help.


    The actions of the British in aiding the Italians angered the Turkish governmt and people. However, at the same time, tsions betwe Turkey and Italy escted rapidly, which is why the Turkish people did not choose to join the Allied nations ev after bing hostile towards the British.


    Arthur shook his head as he looked at the war reports from Europe, wondering if the evts that led Turkey to join the Ctral Powers in history would ever ur in this world?
