MTL - Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981-Chapter 1061 German consortium
Chapter 1061 German Consortium
In the evening, the Prime Minister's Office held a grand party.
Many heavyweights from West Germany came from all over the place, including high-ranking politicians, business leaders, and leaders of consortiums.
What Boss Yang didn't expect was that there were many differences between the Germany he had in the past and the one he had actually seen.
After being introduced by his own father-in-law, Yang Chen really realized that Germany is different from other countries.
Speaking of the power of the consortium, in Yang Chen's impression, South Korea is the number one in the world.
They can not only control the national economy, but also control the life and death of leaders. As we all know, almost every South Korean national leader will be imprisoned under various excuses after stepping down, and 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 should not be underestimated.
However, when it comes to monopoly, the Korean consortium and the island nation consortium are no match for the German consortium.
Although Germany is a late capitalist country, monopoly capital appeared relatively early, and the degree of monopoly is relatively high.
World War I, World War II, and two world wars have made the German monopoly capital continue to develop and expand. During the war, only big capital and big financial groups can concentrate their efforts on big things.
is like inland after the reform and opening up, state-owned enterprises lead economic development, state-owned enterprises guide economic development, and control the national economic lifeline.
Two times in the world, Germany's economic lifeline was almost monopolized by its own consortium.
Monopoly capital groups such as Thyssen, Flick, Siemens, Krupp, Mannesmann, the three major banks (ie Deutsche Bank, Dresden Bank and Commerzbank) have long dominated and controlled the German economic development and dominance .
In Germany, there are two types of consortia, one is a consortium centered on big banks, and the other is a consortium based on industrial monopoly organizations.
The former includes Deutsche Bank Consortium, Dresden Bank Consortium and Commercial Bank Consortium, etc. The latter includes Thyssen Consortium, Farben Succession Company Consortium, Flick Consortium, etc.
The Siemens family belongs to the former and is the core member of the Deutsche Bank consortium. In the First World War, monopoly organizations such as Krupp, Siemens, Damrell, and Stiners became the biggest profiteers of the war.
After World War II, Germany's large monopoly group should have been dissolved. However, due to the obstruction of Western countries led by the United States, the German monopoly consortium did not dissolve, but remained.
Yang Chen didn't care too much about the power of these consortiums in Germany. Now that Germany has not been unified, even if it is unified, the power of the German consortium may not be comparable to the power of the island nation's consortium.
Although the power of the island nation consortium cannot be said to be the dominant one and control the economic lifeline of the entire country, the capital strength of the island nation consortium is undoubtedly much stronger than that of the German consortium.
With the strength of the Yang consortium today, even the major consortiums in the island countries are not willing to make bad relations, let alone those in Germany.
To put it bluntly, the reason why Germany gives a great impression mainly comes from the fact that Germany has set off two world wars, two rises, two prosperity, two loneliness, and then rises again.
Honestly, there is no country in the world that can do this. Once many countries are weakened, they will basically be unable to get up.
Just like the United Kingdom, 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. Now, let alone dominating the world, even on this European continent, it cannot be a dominant player.
And Germany, after two world wars and being beaten by the world, can recover again and occupy a great initiative in Europe. I have to say that this country is really powerful.
Of course, this premise is after the reunification of Germany.
Now, although West Germany's economic strength has recovered, its international status is still relatively low. The entire national security is still in the hands of the United States, Britain and France, and it can only continue to develop in a wretched manner.
A party, on the surface, the guests and the host are enjoying themselves.
Actually, neither side was satisfied.
Yang Chen did not make any promises, and the German consortium did not show the greatest sincerity.
Germany is about to be reunified. If you don’t know the inside story, you might think this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
After all, national reunification is a good thing for any country, whether it is international status or the economy will increase substantially.
However, Yang Chen is very clear that the reunification of Germany is a pit that can no longer be pitted. After the reunification of Germany, apart from the improvement of its international status, there is no other cheapness.
The reunification of Germany is like two brothers who have been separated, one poor and the other rich. It is enough for the two brothers to reunite. Does the poor brother need to divide up the wealth of the rich brother?
For West Germany, except for an extra brother at home, he didn’t get anything else, but an extra oil bottle.
Entering Germany now is a thankless task, and it will not take much advantage. Only after the reunification of Germany is the best time to enter.
In fact, for a monopoly market like Germany, economic crisis is what domestic consortiums want to see most, and the reason why those German consortiums are enthusiastic about him is simply because he has money.
It's just that after decades of development in West Germany, the resources and industries that should be divided up have been divided up, and only some soup is left. For Boss Yang, who is accustomed to eating meat, if he can pick up other people's leftovers down.
Of course, you can also be taken advantage of, pick up meat that others deliberately throw on the ground, and beat your teeth as sacrifices.
However, Boss Yang, whose appetite has been raised for a long time, does not accept those pieces at all. He only needs to wait until the reunification of East and West Germany, then he can take the opportunity to acquire some high-quality industries in East Germany.
As for whether there is a chance, he really doesn't need to worry, because not only he wants to eat the fat German meat, but other people also want to eat it.
For example, American capital, French capital, British capital, etc. Before Germany set off two world wars, the lessons of blood will not be forgotten so quickly.
Economic control is far more effective than military control. So many forces are concerned about this piece of meat, and the German consortium forces are hard to beat with both fists.
Besides, he also has the Siemens family as an internal aid. The Siemens family is a core member of the Deutsche Bank consortium. This core is no joke.
Regardless of whether the Siemens family is willing or not, when Eliza and Boss Yang were together, the Siemens family did not expressly object to it, and now the son-in-law has come to talk about marriage. In the eyes of outsiders, the Siemens family has been closely linked with the Yang family consortium. .
Over the years, the Siemens family and the Yang consortium have cooperated more and more frequently. Once they are interrupted, both companies will suffer huge losses.
Therefore, as long as Boss Yang says something, even if the Siemens family is unwilling, they have to support it.
