Even twenty years later, Wang Chuanfu still remembers that trip to Dresden vividly. In a talk show, I couldn't help but sigh affectionately.

"Yes, I was staying in a small hotel on the outskirts of Dresden. There are four beds in one room, and the one above his head is Mr. Lu of Wanxiang, and the one under his feet is Mr. Cao of Foxit Glass. So we still occasionally get together and talk about Mr. Cao's snoring jokes, which is how it spreads. ”

"Who would have thought that there would be so many characters in that small suburban hotel. Mr. Li of Geely, Mr. Zhang of Weiqiao, Yu Zhi'an of Yangtze River Power, Li Huazhong of Angang, Xing Qifu of Flying Pigeon and Chen Qingtai of Second Automobile. ”

"That's right, the people of the second automobile back then were still very backbone. Not only did commercial vehicles do well, but they were already planning to enter the passenger car market at that time. In Dresden, Lao Chen is quite a hard worker. ”

"But I see that some people are now advocating the same thing that East Germany did back then. Of course, the reform of state-owned enterprises must be changed, but how to change it, my opinion is that we can't learn from the stupid people of East Germany. ”

"I don't care what these people think, if you have the ability, you can do it yourself and make trouble, don't pull us people as a shield and mess around under our banner. Those of us who are involved in the entity know that only when the country is stable and strong can we make money. If you really get the results of East Germany, no matter whether you say state-owned enterprises or private enterprises, they can't escape the results of being harvested. ”

......

When the news came that Wang Chuanfu had just taken over the DKK fluorine-free refrigerator compressor production line as soon as he landed on his foot, the whole hotel was boiling.

In particular, he was ingenious and obtained DKK's investment and procurement commitment through a joint venture that was almost an empty glove white wolf, which made a group of Chinese businessmen even more jealous.

Wang Chuanfu came late, and it took a lot of time for the General Research Institute of Nonferrous Metals to get the news and go through the door, but in fact, the operation here in Dresden has been going on for a long time.

These Chinese businessmen have indeed gained a lot, but they are also facing a lot of problems. For example, the most realistic is that the cost is becoming more and more insufficient.

Although China Railway Construction Investment has provided loans from it, the principal and mortgage of the enterprise and the necessary expenses still need to be available. In this way, after several projects were won in a row, everyone's activity funds began to be stretched.

Seeing that a feast in East Germany is entering its climax, Chinese businessmen may have to leave the table early. It's like spending a lot of money to eat a seafood buffet, and before you can eat the crabs, you will be full of cockles alone, which is not distressing to death.

Yes, the huge East Germany's $600 billion state assets have just been drunk with an aperitif. Some small businesses with little profit and really bad ones are closed and sold, but the real feast has not yet been served.

A hors d'oeuvres like DKK can only be regarded as a garment, and BB Company, which is worth more than 300 million marks, can be regarded as a side dish. The Eisenten Steel Plant, the shining jewel of East German industry, can be regarded as a generous main dish.

And how are these delicacies brought to the table? The waiter who shuttles from restaurant to feast is called the East German Bank.

If Chinese businessmen want to be able to recoup their capital at this table, although they have the plan of Wang Boatman's empty gloves and white wolf, they still need some other factors. For example, it is appropriate to have a "waiter" who openly and secretly pulls the shelf to cooperate.

"Hello, Ms. Biitbruyer, I am Diane, President of the West German Union Economic Bank. ”

The office building of the East German State Property Trust Agency in the center of Berlin was today emptied from the inside out. The large and small managers of the Trusteeship Bureau wore crisp suits and welcomed them in front of the gate with great spirit.

And the target they are now welcoming is the acquisition team of the West German Union Economic Bank. The target of the acquisition of the West German Union Economic Bank is the famous East German Bank, the central bank of the GDR.

"I've heard the name of Ms. Diane, who was previously President of the Zurich Financial Services Group. I didn't expect the West German Union Economic Bank to have you in the honor, I have to say, you are a banner among our European professional women!"

"Ms. Breuer, as the director of the Trusteeship Bureau, means much more to European women than I do. ”

Diane and Breuer, two "working women", shook hands slightly, complimented each other, and walked side by side towards the office building of the Trusteeship Bureau.

Behind them are the business news agency reporters who are constantly murdering the film. Whatever the outcome of today's discussion between the two men, it is conceivable that the hastily formed and little-known West German Union Economic Bank will soon become famous.

"There are a lot of shareholders in United Economics, and basically you can find all the European financial groups in our list of shareholders. Of course, West Berlin Bank and Deutsche Bank are the main components. We at the West German Union Economic Bank have the strength to ensure the smooth running of transactions at the East German Bank. ”

"That's not the problem. Breuer shook his head, took out the delicate silver cigarette case from the drawer, took out the exquisite lady's cigarette inside, and handed it to Diane: "The two main components of the GDR Bank, one is the East Berlin City Bank and the other is the GDR cooperative, and we in the Trusteeship would like to be able to sell them in a package. ”

With a stab, Breuer struck a match and leaned in to light a cigarette for Diane: "I can tell you the reserve price assessed by the Trusteeship, which is 50 million marks for the East Berlin City Bank and 110 million marks for the East German cooperatives. As long as the West German Union Economic Bank pays 160 million marks, these two banks will be yours. ”

"One hundred and sixty million?" Diane nodded slightly, "Okay, no problem." 160 million, I'll be able to write you a check right now. ”

At this time, the office was empty except for the two of them, and Breuer pressed Diane's hand, his gaze direct and greedy: "Lady Diane, you know that. If you want to get the GDR, you can't just get it at this price. ”

Diane paused, but with a slight effort in his hand, he still wrote his name on the checkbook: "Whatever you want, or whatever you want, UECB has you covered." This check, Ms. Breuer, you will definitely accept. ”

"You-"

Breuer's finger slid over the thin cheque, and his voice echoed in the spacious office for a long time: "I know who you are, Zurich Financial Services Group, Swiss Re, Honest and AXA in the UK, and AEG Group in the Netherlands." You control half of Europe, plus the West Berlin City Bank and Deutsche Bank, and the Depository has no intention of making your enemies. But Chancellor Kohl doesn't want to sacrifice the GDR Bank to you demons so easily. ”

"Yes, Prime Minister Cole will inevitably have his intentions. We are ready and confident that everything he asks will be met. President Cole must be ready to work with us, otherwise he wouldn't have asked Congress to pass a general pardon to the Trusteeship Board, would he?"

Hearing this, Breuer smiled silently.

If it is a high-level Chinese executive who is sensitive to the futures situation before the Gulf War, hearing Breuer's report on the five European financial groups at this time must be extremely familiar.

At this time, Breuer would never have imagined that the five major financial groups would owe a rather terrible premium to a Chinese. In order to be able to pay off this arrears, these five families also had to "ignore their conscience" to deal with East Germany and West Germany.

As Diane said, the big five financial groups are ready to meet all the demands of creditors. However, it depends on who the creditor is. Seeing that the Sino-US trade negotiations are advancing day by day, the importance of Hu Wenhai's bad debts is also increasing day by day.

And when these words heard Breuer's ears, of course, they meant something else. The statement of the West German Union Economic Bank is undoubtedly a blank check. All of Prime Minister Kohl's demands within a reasonable range can be supported by the five major financial groups. And in Europe, it is clear that they have terrible political influence.

Had it not been for the sale of East Germany for a good price, Kohl would not have risked the world's condemnation and demanded that the Reichstag pass a general pardon for the Trusteeship.

With such a thing, nominally, the Trusteeship Authority has "no legal responsibility or price for all their deeds, all their mistakes, and all their negligence." "The power.

Just think about it, if it weren't for the "pit people" from the beginning, who would have issued such a pardon order in advance for a state institution!

Later, after the Trusteeship was abolished and Germany considered it to have fulfilled its historic mission, the then German Minister of Finance commented on the pardon: It is necessary to pardon the mistakes of the Trusteeship personnel, otherwise we would not have been able to get a group of excellent professionals to do their job in this high-risk position in such a short time.

Thus, the West Germans did not even have the slightest intention of concealing their mistakes. Tell the East Germans in a grand manner, "You are unlucky?" These are all the pains of reform!

The pre-dissolution Trusteeship Bureau lived up to expectations, and the state-owned assets of East Germany, valued at more than 600 billion marks, were placed under the custody of the Trusteeship Agency. By 1995, four years of privatization had been completed, with the result that the East Germans were indebted to 350 billion marks and millions of unemployed.

As the vanguard of Europe's anti-China emergency, in addition to competition reasons in international trade, in fact, Chinese should not take their views too seriously. Because China, as a country with a proclaimed socialist system, the better it develops, the more it develops, it is actually a slap in the face of the Germans, and of course it will not have a good attitude towards China.

Looking at China, wouldn't the East Germans dream back at midnight and think about it in their hearts. What would their lives have been like if socialist Germany had not surrendered without a fight.

Is socialism really the original sin of all their suffering?
