Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

Like other European countries, the previous global stock market crash also had a great impact on West Germany's economy. Facing Yang Chen, a rich man who took the initiative to come to his door, Helmut Kohl naturally would not let go of the opportunity to pull some wool.

As the leader of a country, Helmut Kohl is very busy at work every day. If it weren't for the Yang consortium spending money in Europe, making Helmut Kohl's eyes greedy, he wouldn't be ashamed Pi Dian ran to the airport to pick him up.

In any case, Helmut Kohl is the supreme leader of a country at any rate, although after World War II, Germany, as a defeated country, suffered a serious decline in its international status.

But, as the saying goes, a lean camel is bigger than a horse.

If it's because of business, it's fine.

But this time Yang Chen came to West Germany, it was entirely for personal matters.

What's more, Yang Chen's visit to Bonn this time was only for people to say hello to Bonn Airport, and the officials did not contact West German officials at all.

As a result, Helmut Kohl's move made Boss Yang somewhat overwhelmed. Looking at his father-in-law, he also looked helpless, and Yang Chen didn't know what to say.

His main purpose of coming to Germany this time was to visit his father-in-law. If the Siemens family didn't settle in Bonn, he really didn't want to come here.

After all, since the end of World War II and the division of East and West Germany, the domestic situation in Germany has been very unstable. Today's Germany is like the Korean Peninsula of later generations. Under the control of the two major forces, there are some small sparks of friction from time to time.

In this hellish place, if you think that you are safe in the rear, you are absolutely nonsense. I think that the old US bombed the island country across the Pacific Ocean, let alone East and West Germany, which are also on the European continent and separated by hundreds of kilometers. In the terminal center, neither East Germany nor West Germany is absolutely safe.

Facing Helmut Kohl, the prime minister of West Germany, who warmly received him, Yang Chen could only accept it with a smile even if he felt helpless in his heart. He stretched out his hand not to hit the smiling person, not to mention that the person opposite represented the face of the entire West Germany.

Hearing that Helmut Kohl was going to prepare a residence for his group, Yang Chen quickly declined and said: "Mr. Prime Minister, there is no need to arrange the residence. This time I am taking Alisa home to have a look. I believe me My father-in-law has already arranged a place for us.

As he said that, Yang Chen gave his father-in-law a wink, telling the other party not to be stubborn, this son-in-law came to the door and asked others to arrange a place, isn't this nonsense?

Seeing his son-in-law winking at him, Peter von Siemens didn't understand that Yang Chen was unwilling to accept Helmut Kohl's arrangement, so he quickly interjected: "Mr. I won’t bother Mr. Prime Minister to worry about trivial matters.”

"Okay then." Seeing this, Helmut Kohl nodded with a smile: "However, Yang, this is your first time in Germany. As the host, I must not let the guests be left out. The government hosts a banquet for all of you..."

This time, Yang Chen didn't refuse any more. Whether it was Helmut Kohl's face or his father-in-law's face, he had to accept it. It was just a meal, and at most it was to get to know a group of important figures in the West German authorities.

Although the Yang's consortium will not make large-scale investments in West Germany for the time being, the cooperation between the Yang's consortium and many large enterprises in West Germany is getting closer, especially as the Yang's consortium enters the inland market. The connection has been constantly strengthened.

Inland reform and opening up, in addition to economic development, another is to build a sound industrial system.

Later generations, the inland is known as the world's factory. The entire industrial system was built in decades, and most of the high-end industries started from joint ventures.

Germany's strength in industrial manufacturing is unquestionable. If the Yang Consortium wants to take root in the inland, obtain strong support from inland officials, and reduce constraints, it must play a certain role in inland industrial construction.

Just being able to make money is not enough. Li Chaoren of later generations is the best example. What about the richest man in China?

No matter how rich you are, can you still be richer than the Jews all over the world?

Therefore, it is not enough to just make money.

With the development of the times and the continuous innovation of science and technology, the most important thing is to master the cutting-edge technology of the times.

give a real example

Li Chaoren and Mr. Ren, the head of Huawei.

Leaving aside the scale of their companies, just considering the personal influence of these two people, the reputation accumulated by the former over the past few decades must be much higher than that of the latter.

But fame and wealth are not the measure of everything.

Later generations of Huawei faced the sanctions and blockade of the entire US imperialism. When Mr. Ren faced the public, he still straightened his waist and talked and laughed with the big guys with ease.

At the same time, in order to support Huawei, the country even started a trade war with the US emperor. It is undeniable that Mr. Ren has caught up with the good times and the good times of the country's rise.

But as the saying goes, you need to be strong to strike iron. If you don't have strong strength and confidence, even if you have the support of the country, it will not help.

If the positions were reversed, would Li Chaoren be able to withstand the same sanctions and blockades imposed by the U.S. imperialists?Can the country support it at any cost?

There is no need to verify it, Yang Chen already has the answer in his heart.

Future technology is more important than wealth

Of course, if you have technology and wealth, you will be invincible.

Chapter 1066 German Consortium

In the evening, the Prime Minister's Office held a grand party.

Many heavyweights from West Germany came from all over the country, including high-ranking politicians, business leaders, and financial group leaders.

What Boss Yang didn't expect was that there were many differences between the Germany he had imagined in the past and what he had actually seen.

After being introduced by his father-in-law, Yang Chen truly realized the difference between Germany and other countries.

When it comes to consortium forces, in Yang Chen's impression, South Korea is definitely the number one in the world.

Not only do they control the country's economy, but they can also control the lives and deaths of leaders. As we all know, almost every South Korean leader will be imprisoned under various excuses after he steps down. The risk rate is the highest in the world.

In addition, there is the island country. The power of the island country consortium has a long history, and it should not be underestimated.

However, when it comes to monopoly, the Korean consortium and the island consortium are no match for the German consortium.

Although Germany is a late capitalist country, the emergence of monopoly capital was relatively early, and the degree of monopoly was relatively high.

World War I and World War II, the two world wars, made the German monopoly capital continue to develop and expand. During the war, only big capital and big consortiums can concentrate their strength to do big things.

Just like in the inland areas after the reform and opening up, state-owned enterprises lead economic development, state-owned enterprises guide economic development and control the lifeline of the country's economy.

In the two worlds, Germany's economic lifeline was almost monopolized by its own consortium forces.

Monopoly capital groups such as Thyssen, Flickr, Siemens, Krupp, Mannesmann, and the three major banks (ie Deutsche Bank, Dresdner Bank, and Commerzbank) have long dominated and controlled Germany's economic development and dominance .

In Germany, there are two types of consortia, one is the consortium centered on large banks, and the other is the consortium based on industrial monopoly organizations.

The former includes the Deutsche Bank consortium, the Dresdner Bank consortium, and the commercial bank consortium, while the latter includes the Thyssen consortium, Farben Inheritance consortium, and Flickr consortium.

The Siemens family belongs to the former and is a core member of the Deutsche Bank consortium. In World War I, Krupp, Siemens, Dammler, Steiners and other monopoly organizations became the biggest beneficiaries of the war.

After World War II, Germany's large monopoly conglomerates were supposed to disband.However, due to the obstruction of Western countries headed by the United States, the German monopoly consortium did not disband, but remained.

Yang Chen didn't pay too much attention to these consortium forces in Germany. Now that Germany has not been unified, even if it is unified, the power of the German consortium may not be inferior to the power of the island country consortium.

Although the power of the island consortium cannot be said to be the dominant one, controlling the economic lifeline of the entire country, the capital strength of the island consortium is undoubtedly much stronger than that of the German consortium.

With the current strength of the Yang's consortium, even the major consortiums in island countries are unwilling to turn against each other, let alone the consortiums in Germany.

To put it bluntly, the reason why Germany gives people a very powerful impression is mainly due to the fact that Germany set off two world wars, rose twice, prospered twice, fell down twice, and then rose again.

To be honest, there is no country in the world that can do this. Once many countries are weakened, they basically cannot get back up.

Just like Britain, once the empire on which the sun never sets, after World War I and World War II, its international status and economic and military strength plummeted.
