På sporet af Niels Brock

Finally, you will hear how Niels Brock's will becomes the school you will start at.Thanks for listening!

In the 18th century, Black people were enslaved, sailed across the Atlantic, and tortured to death on plantations—all just so a few wealthy men could become even richer. And although Niels Brock does his best to stay out of such grim business, there’s just a little too much money in it for him to completely keep his distance.Then, return to your school and listen to #7.

People often say, "Where there's trade, there's waste." But Niels Brock doesn't waste a single penny as he struts around the Stock Exchange making brilliant deals—at least not until he suddenly spots a very embarrassing oil painting.Then, proceed to the West India Warehouse and #6.

You can probably imagine that it looks pretty luxurious at the home of one of the richest people in Danish history. But Niels Brock hardly has time to enjoy it, because in Niels' work-life balance, there's a lot more emphasis on work than on life!Then, proceed to Wildersgade 51 and #4.

Niels Brock is dead! At his funeral, some of Denmark's most important men gather, all reminiscing about the great merchant—but in the corners, everyone is whispering about what will happen to his enormous fortune.Then, proceed to Strandgade 36 and #3.

Listen to the full story of the great merchant Niels Brock and how his legacy became the Niels Brock Business School.In 1752, the 21-year-old Niels Brock arrives in noisy, smelly, and chaotic Copenhagen.

Til sidst skal du høre, hvordan Niels Brocks testamente bliver til den skole, du skal begynde på.Tak fordi du lyttede!

I 1700-tallet blev sorte mennesker slavegjorte, sejlet over atlanten og pint ihjel på plantager - alt sammen bare så nogle rige mænd, kunne blive endnu rigere. Og selvom Niels Brock gør sit bedste for at holde sig ude af den slags grumme forretninger - så er der alligevel lidt for mange penge i det til, at han helt kan holde sig udenfor.Gå herefter tilbage til din skole og hør #7.
