Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

The wheel of history keeps moving forward and no one can stop it; the same is true for the merger of Germany and Germany. Of course, the merger of the two Germanys is not a good thing for Bao Zixuan and Heiyun Group! West Germany itself is the third largest economic power in the world, and its technological level has always been at the leading position in the world. If you add East Germany, it will be even more powerful; few countries are its opponents.

At the same time, East Germany not only merged with West Germany, but also became a member of NATO. Although East Germany no longer exists in name, this is the fact. No one can deny this, and it is impossible to change it!

Perhaps it was precisely because of the continuous separation of Eastern European countries and serious internal problems that the Soviet Union, a behemoth, collapsed. The merger of the two Germanys is inevitable, and the disintegration of the Soviet Union is only a matter of time; something must be done in this process, otherwise we will not even be able to protect ourselves in the future.

When the time came, the East German government agencies announced that they would stop working; the Federal Republic of Germany fully took over East German embassies and consulates abroad. Next is the celebration of the reunification of the two Germanys; but Bao Zixuan is in the mood to participate; he has more important things to do!

The reunification of the two Germanys once brought a heavy burden to the German economy. It is indeed sad and joyful, and deserves celebration. Economic growth continued to slow in the years following unification. You must know that for the sake of national reunification, the Germans paid a price of 1.5 trillion US dollars, which was more than the national debt of the country.

The weak economic conditions of East Germany and the unrealistic exchange rate between the two German currencies caused a sharp decline in East Germany's industrial competitiveness and caused the closure of many factories, resulting in heavy economic losses.

For the Germans, it was indeed a heavy loss; but for Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan, it was a huge profit. The official exchange rate between East Germany and West German marks was one to one, and they were indeed exchanged according to this ratio when they merged; but on the black market, it had already exceeded 4:1, or even higher.

Even if many East Germans have the opportunity, they will exchange East German Marks into other currencies. After all, holding them in their hands means depreciation. On the contrary, because of its huge economic size and advanced technology, West German Mark is very well recognized in the world.

Peng Yifei has been staying in East Germany in recent years. Currently, Heiyun Group is definitely the largest holder of East German Marks. Because of the Plaza Accord, the West German Mark has been appreciating.

So far, 100 West German Marks can be exchanged for 58 US dollars; it is definitely one of the most valuable currencies in the world.

Although the merger of the two Germanys paid a heavy price, everyone with a discerning eye knows that Germany will become stronger after reunification. Even if the East German Mark is absorbed, the overall market fluctuations will not be great; the Mark is still very strong.

Bonn, Germany, inside the Provisional Chancellery; it is different from the catharsis and celebration of the people outside. A group of old people are discussing the future and direction of Germany after reunification.

The East German government agencies announced that they would stop working, which meant that everything was handed over to West Germany; for West Germany, it was indeed a recognition. But for the top leaders of the country, it is also a huge pressure.

In what direction will post-unification Germany develop, and how can East Germany be quickly integrated into it? There are so many things going on, it’s a headache just to look at them!

One stood up and said: "Everyone, East Germany has made its attitude clear. To be precise, it has handed over the entire Germany to us."

"For the future of the German nation, they have made concessions and sacrifices; next we must come up with plans and measures, and we must not let down the colleagues who have made sacrifices."

"Now I don't want to hear any voices that are impossible or impossible; if anyone feels that he is not qualified for the current job, he can resign immediately. Participating in the great cause of national reunification is not only for the German nation; it can also leave a name in history. It will be possible in the future. The writing has been included in the textbooks. I hope you will cherish this opportunity."

"It is impossible to encounter such a major event in not just a lifetime, but maybe several lifetimes."

Everyone should perform their duties without making any excuses or reasons; including me, there is no way out for everyone!

Soon, various ministerial figures in Germany went down to arrange work. Indeed, at this time, all Germans had no way out. Whether the reunified Germany can gain international recognition; these days are very critical.

Not everyone left, but the finance minister chose to stay; he had a lot to report to at the moment. The reason why Germany was able to unify had a lot to do with West Germany's desperate spending.

Although there have been considerable fiscal surpluses in recent decades, and in order to promote national reunification, a large number of national bonds have been issued. But getting the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France to agree to the merger of the two Germanys required a huge amount of money, and West Germany has always gritted its teeth and persisted.

Now that the East German mark is to be integrated into the West German monetary system, it will have a huge impact on the West German economic system; you must know that since the split of Germany, the number of marks issued by East Germany in the past few decades has been quite a lot.

Direct exchange on a one-to-one basis is likely to overwhelm the German economy. Many things require the Prime Minister's nod or intervention; the Finance Minister has no good solution!

Anyone who knows a little bit about world politics knows that the person who just spoke is none other than the current West German Prime Minister - Helmut Kohl!

Helmut Kohl; 1 born in Ludwigshafen on the Rhine, 1 Democratic Union. 1 degree. 1 Prime Minister of Rhineland-Palatinate. 1 Chairman of the Democratic Alliance of Religions. 1 Social Democratic Chancellor Schmidt resigned in a "constructive vote of no confidence" and Kohl was elected Chancellor of the Federal Republic of Germany. This was the Christian Democratic Union's return to power after 13 years in opposition.

After Kohl came to power, he expanded state investment, encouraged private factories to build factories to increase employment opportunities, and adopted austerity policies to balance the balance of payments and reduce social welfare, which helped the West German economy escape the crisis of the early 1980s and enter the development stage. Foreign policy emphasized maintaining friendly relations with the United States, strengthening cooperation with European Community countries, and continuing to develop relations with the Soviet Union.

In recent years, he has devoted himself to the issue of German reunification. After "2+4" talks with East Germany, the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France, a treaty on the reunification of the two Germanys was signed on 1. On October 3, the Democratic Republic of Germany joined the Federal Republic of Germany. If history is correct, two months later; Kohl will be elected as the first chancellor of Germany after reunification. At the same time, he was Germany's longest-serving chancellor after the war.

He is definitely a legendary figure, and it was under his full mediation that Germany was finally unified!

Cole naturally understands what it means that the Finance Minister has not left; it has indeed been difficult for him recently.

The West German Finance Minister said without any nonsense: "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, everything is going on in an orderly manner. The major banks in West Germany have added many windows to specifically serve the people of East Germany in exchanging marks."

"It's easy for ordinary people to solve it, but some large companies hold huge amounts of East German marks; how to solve it."

"If the exchange rate is still based on one-to-one exchange, it will definitely have a serious impact on West Germany, or the German economy after reunification. If that is the case, what all Germans will have to do every day in the next ten years is to repay debts."

As West Germany's Prime Minister, Kohl naturally knew what the so-called big companies in the Finance Minister's mouth meant. Most East German companies were state-owned, and many were losing money; it was impossible to hold too much capital in hand.

It must be some foreign speculators who want to make a fortune while Germany is reunified.

Cole thought for a moment and said: "What countries are there companies in!"

It doesn’t matter who it is, but we should first see if it can offend him; or whether strong pressure will work!

The Minister of Finance said directly without any hesitation: "The United States, the Soviet Union, Japan, the United Kingdom, France, and other countries in the Middle East are all present. Among them, the largest number of East German Mark holders are from Xiangjiang; Bao Zixuan of Heiyun Group alone accounts for nearly half Share!”

There are so many countries, many of which are the ones who decide the reunification of Germany; now is not the time to fall out, as there are still too many unresolved issues. Of course, Germany at this moment has no capital to fall out.

Cole was not surprised when he heard the names of Heiyun Group and Bao Zixuan; the cooperation between Heiyun Group and East Germany lasted for more than ten years. And this time, most of the East German state-owned enterprises were acquired by Xiangjiang businessmen; although I felt not very happy. But it is also clear that before the merger, East Germany was a sovereign country and West Germany had no right to interfere.

Being taken advantage of by Xiangjiang businessmen, I felt very unhappy; but I could only suffer the loss of being dumb.

Cole thought for a moment and said: "According to the established plan, national credibility is very important; no one should be allowed to underestimate the German nation!"

"I know about the financial difficulties, and I will meet with Bao Zixuan later; some things must be faced, and I hope the other party will not go too far!"

Sorry, I have been busy with exhibitions in the past few days!
