We are all reborn, who wants to be the richest man?

Munich Airport, a 5F-level international airport that was officially opened on May 17 last year, has been put under temporary control.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a large number of police cars were acting as security outside the airport to maintain order, while inside the airport were media reporters with cameras.

"It's really a big fuss. Even when officials from the United States came to visit, there wasn't such a big scene."

"They are nothing, they always come here to take advantage, just like debt collectors.

Can it be the same this time? This is achieved through investment. Haven’t you heard from the economic experts that if we can get one-third of the investment this time, the economic boost will be unimaginable, and it is likely that GDP will increase by two percentage points.”

"Ah? One-third of the investment is only three or four billion US dollars. How can it be so exaggerated?"

"What do you know? That's high technology, the world's leading and unique high technology.

If they build factories here, various supporting enterprises will settle in Germany, which will also promote the development of Germany in this industry. Won't all kinds of investment come again?"

There was a lot of discussion in the reporter area.

A Boeing 747 private plane slowly stopped where the reporter's camera was pointed. The current German Chancellor, also the first Chancellor after the reunification of Germany, Helmut Kohl, who had been waiting for a long time, was leading officials at all levels to welcome him.

Do you think that it was the head of a major country who was visiting? Otherwise, how could he have received such a high-level reception?

Actually, it is not, but for a country, visitors are more important than the heads of state of a big country.

The hatch opened, and the first man to come down was familiar to everyone. It was Jack Welch, the Far East CEO who was deeply trusted by the legendary tycoon.

In the list of the world's most powerful people in 1992 selected by Hong Kong Financial Magazine at the end of 1992, Welch surpassed the Pope and Comrade Yellen and was ranked second only to the US President, Old Cowboy.

Politically, the old cowboy's performance during his tenure will definitely go down in history, but in terms of economics, Welch, who has influence over the entire huge Far East system, is unmatched.

The media once reported that if the Far East system controlled by Welch were regarded as an economic entity, it would probably rank among the top five in the world.

This is still a conservative estimate, because the Far East Group has a large number of unlisted and undisclosed companies, and outsiders have no idea how big they are.

Now more and more media have put the Luo family, the Luo family and the Rothschild family together, and no one knows how huge their wealth is.

Therefore, this economic czar who is in charge of the Far East has the ability to decide the economic life or death of a country with a single word, and is a guest of honor of all heads of state.

Whether it is the United States or Europe, every time Welch visits, he receives invitations from heads of state of various countries.

It was difficult for Luo Nianzhong, the real person behind the scenes, to accept the invitation and live like a rich man, so Welch became the representative of the Far East Group.

When talking about Far East now, even many young people don’t know who Luo Nianzhong is. The first person they think of is Welch, which is also the effect Luo Nianzhong wants.

Therefore, every word and action of this CEO who is destined to go down in history is watched at all times, because it is full of endless business opportunities and chances.

For example, when he gave a speech at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology last year, he said that he would retire before the age of 65 and return to his family.

As soon as the news came out, the whole world was paying attention.

The transfer of power is not easy, especially in a huge empire like the Far East. It would take several years to achieve a smooth transfer.

Before the age of 65 is before the year 2000. It seems still early, but clues can be seen within the next two or three years.

The new CEO's personality, the areas he is optimistic about, and his views on investment are all related to many things in the world.

The two people that the outside world is most optimistic about right now are COO John Baibo and Far East Queen Chris. However, given the behavior of the tycoon who no one can figure out, it is possible that a third person will be parachuted in.

On the spiral staircase, Welch, who was leading the way, walked down slowly, followed by those who were capable of dominating a region individually.

Li Xiang of Watsons, Piech of Audi Group, Zhang Rujing of Far East Chip, Andy Grove, the new president of Honor Group, etc., which one is not a core figure of the Far East Group.

The reason why there was such a big scene this time was that Welch almost led the heads of various groups to come out, if for no other reason than to come for investment inspection, so Kohl attached so much importance to it and brought all the relevant German officials, big and small.

On January 1, the European single market, which had been in the works for seven years, was officially opened. The 1 member states of the European Community abolished internal borders, and goods, capital and services began to flow freely.

However, due to the rejection of the UK, Ireland and Denmark, the free movement of people has not yet been realized.

With the opening of the European single market, corresponding policies to attract investment have also been introduced.

Far East issued a statement the next day that in order to better serve the European market and reduce costs, Far East Group expects to invest tens of billions of dollars in Europe.

The news caused a sensation throughout Europe.

The most noteworthy of these is that Far East Chip and Texas Instruments will spend US$18 billion to build two super chip factories in Europe to meet the needs of European customers.

This kind of high-tech industry is an investment project that every country likes. The 12 member states of the European Community have rushed to call the Far East and invite the Far East Department to visit.

Especially the United Kingdom, Germany and France, which have the greatest advantages in high-tech talents and are seen by the outside world as the three countries with the most opportunities.

After the holiday, the first destination Welch chose for his Far East investment team was Germany.

As is generally believed by the outside world, the investment and development of high-tech cannot be separated from talents, and the advantages of the three countries are indeed great.

However, Britain has already invested enough in the Far East, and France's industrial decline is obvious to all. Whether it is talent, investment environment, related supporting enterprises, etc., Germany is the best choice in Welch's view, so it became the first stop of the trip.

"Welcome Mr. Welch and everyone to Germany for inspection. By the way, it's been a while since we last saw Mr. Welch."

Before he had even walked down the spiral staircase, Cole had already come up to meet him.

"I didn't expect that Chancellor Kohl would come to the airport to greet me in person. You are so polite."

The two men shook hands, and Welch expressed his gratitude and began the routine reminiscing.

"It's true that we haven't seen each other for a while. The last time I came was when you were elected. I wanted to thank you for promoting the merger of Texas Instruments and Siemens' related businesses."

There were some unpleasantness between Far East and the then West German government over the merger of the sensor departments of Texas Instruments and Siemens. In the end, it was Kohl who overcame all objections and made the final decision.

Regardless of whether it was forced by the situation at the time or what, at least on the surface Cole helped, and there was nothing wrong with Welch thanking him.

"I don't dare to take credit for it, it's all for the betterment of the German economy.

Now, Feiling is a global sensor giant and has built several new factories in Germany. These factories have solved many employment problems in Germany and boosted the local economy. So this is a win-win situation for us and there is no need to be grateful or not.

I also hope that this time our cooperation with the Far East Group can achieve a win-win situation like last time."

"Sure, let's develop together."

"That's right, common development." Cole smiled and agreed, "Then let's get in the car first?"

"Okay." Welch agreed, but turned his head and looked away.

Each president of the Far East Group was received by someone there. Some came to get close to him, some to reminisce about the past, and of course some to confront him head-on.

For example, Siemens President von Bile, who has cooperated with many Far Eastern companies and knows many people, is now like a socialite, chatting on the left and talking on the right, and he is almost too busy to handle it.

Of course, there is something weird in this cheerful atmosphere.

In the crowd, the two groups were clearly divided, just like gangsters arguing about numbers.

One group is headed by Audi Group President Piech, with the CEOs of Audi-related companies such as Continental AG and Neoplan standing behind him.

The other side is represented by the Porsche family and a group of German parts suppliers.

The leaders of German car companies such as Mercedes-Benz, Volkswagen and BMW stood aside more like referees, and were biased towards Porsche.

There is a hint of an independent Audi Group in some way, but it is not so clear.

Everyone can see the weird atmosphere here, but everyone turns a blind eye to it.

Everyone knows about the Porsche family. It was thought that after Piech left, Audi, which was considered a second-rate car company by the Germans, had no chance of recovery.

But who would have thought that the legendary tycoon would take a fancy to Piech and acquire Audi.

Now the Audi Group has not only become the world's largest automobile company, but its overall brand influence is no less than that of Porsche, and is even higher than that of Porsche.

When Far East Motor changed its name, some German media speculated that the reason it was called Audi was because the tycoon was supporting Piech again.

Now that Piech is back, many people find the scene of him meeting the Porsche family's enemies interesting.

"Ferdinand," Welch shouted from a distance, attracting everyone's attention.

Piech knew what Welch meant. If the stalemate continued, the media would not know how to present the story.

Although he was not nominally under Welch's management, he could still ignore the company and do as he pleased.

But everyone in the Far East knows that Welch’s words can influence every company, and the most important thing is that this legend deserves respect.

Piech got in the car, and Welch saw him and followed him in.

“Mr. Welch, the Far East Group has had a good cooperation foundation in Germany in the past, and we are more familiar with each other.

If the investment in Far East Chip can be implemented, we will definitely provide the most favorable policies in terms of land taxation and other aspects."

“I believe this, and I have always been very satisfied with the investments made by Far Eastern companies in Germany in the past.

But before coming this time, Mr. Luo specifically told me not to make a decision in a hurry and to travel around Europe and see more."

In the car on the way to the hotel in downtown Munich, Cole saw Welch playing tricks all the way and understood his intention.

It seems that this huge investment is not so easy to get. The other party obviously has a purpose, but I don’t know what industry they are interested in.

“Mr. Welch, I don’t know what the criteria are for Far East’s investment this time, or if you have any questions, please feel free to raise them.

As I said at the airport, the government will overcome all difficulties and hope to achieve win-win cooperation with Far East."

Welch turned around, smiled and apologized, "I'm sorry, I haven't been to Munich for several years. I was fascinated by the scenery outside and was a little distracted.

Germany has a very good investment environment, otherwise the Far East would not have chosen it as its first stop.

Especially in Munich, the high-tech industry has developed very rapidly in recent years, which is very consistent with the investment plans of Far East Chip and Texas Instruments.

However, as the Far East Group invested more and more in Germany, transportation became our primary consideration and the problem we needed to solve.

Munich's railways are well-connected and connect many European cities very conveniently, but sea transportation is the key.

The Far Eastern Group's largest investment in Germany is the Audi Group, whose subsidiaries own many factories in Germany.

The Audi Group has developed rapidly in recent years, but I understand that transportation now seems to have become a bottleneck restricting the development of the Audi Group in Europe.

You see, we have invested much more in Britain than in Germany, but we have never had any trouble with traffic.

Therefore, even though Rolls-Royce has good sales and built three new factories, it has always been produced in the UK, bringing a large number of jobs to the UK."

Cole smiled bitterly in his heart. He understood what Welch meant. He not only wanted things, but also came to help his brother get revenge.

Which port does the Audi Group use most at its plants in Germany? The Port of Bremerhaven.

But the management company of this port is BLG, which is very close to the Porsche family.

Although we won’t target you openly, there is no problem in using some tricks against the Audi Group, just to disgust you.

There is no doubt that BLG must have done it, otherwise Welch would not have said it.

Now the other party is taking advantage of the situation and wants to take over the Port of Bremerhaven, but this is not easy to do because it belongs to the Bremen state government.

The state of Bremen consists of only two cities, Bremen and Bremerhaven, with a population of only 66.

However, the small state with these two cities is indeed among the top three states with the best economy in Germany, thanks to its two ports, the Port of Bremen and the Port of Bremerhaven, which can also be collectively referred to as the Bremen Combined Port.

The land area of ​​Bremen State is small. Even if you invest, how much land can you get to build factories? The Bremen Combined Port is your only treasure.

Now you say you want Meizhou to hand over its shares in the port. Isn't this asking for the life of the Meizhou government?

Cole couldn't refuse directly, nor could he agree. Fortunately, the convoy arrived at the hotel where he was staying at this time.

“Traffic issues are not a problem, our government will do its best to solve them.

Everyone, please take a rest after the long journey. There will be a welcome dinner in the evening, and we will talk then."

"Okay, thank you for the arrangement, Chancellor Kohl."

Welch was not in a hurry. He had already made things clear to him. If he wanted to invest, he had to show his sincerity.

My Far East department is not so easy to bully. If you try to attack me secretly, don't blame me for trying to attack you openly.
