Chapter 208: Disaster to the Pond Fish

Both Schwarch and Hugo accepted Jonas's offer, with Hugo becoming chief economist and Schwarch holding only the title of strategic adviser.

At most, he will only help Jonas design a set of routes and management frameworks that are in line with the development of Hoffman's investment bank, and will not be involved in specific operations.

But Hugo is different, in addition to participating in some investment projects, he also has to correct the development deviation of Hoffmann Investment Bank at all times.

However, this does not mean that Schwarch has a lighter workload.

Although the current Hoffman Investment Bank manages more than two billion yuan, it is still a small investment bank in terms of structure.

If such a small company wants to develop into a consortium, it cannot be formed by acquiring a few companies.

Structurally speaking, the consortium must have several entities, the first is the core financial entity, which is the only one that Hoffman Investment Bank currently has.

Jonas then chose the automotive industry as the main body of industry.

So what kind of company to acquire, how to integrate various automobile companies and auto parts companies all over the world, is the most difficult.

If they are not well managed, these companies will not only fail to integrate together, but will become a burden.

Then, the production of automobiles needs steel, whether we must have our own steel mills, whether we must have our own smelters?

Then, how to connect these companies in tandem, and whether to establish a strict management system?

In addition, these companies need to establish their own logistics enterprises and establish their own transportation systems.

Finally, car companies produce cars, and they also need to establish their own sales companies, etc.

Suffice it to say, each step is very complex and requires a lot of management skills.

It is simply impossible to integrate these different companies together, without a certain macro vision, and at the same time with a strong management mindset.

If you can form a consortium by just acquiring a few companies, I am afraid that there will be conglomerates all over the world.

But until later generations, there are still only a few dozen companies that can be called consortia.

Although it is said that without Schwarch, with the prophet of Jonas, it can gradually grow and develop after forming its own competitiveness, but the loss in the middle is incalculable, and it can be said that it is half the effort.

However, with a big guy like Schwarch to help design a complete route, and adjust the plan according to the real problems encountered at all times, then it is twice the result with half the effort.

In the process of development, many enterprises in later generations seem to be flourishing and the scale is getting bigger and bigger.

But those companies are just getting more and more bloated, and their ability to resist risk is not increasing.

is like Mr. Wang, who once became the richest man, and his company's assets have reached hundreds of billions in the course of 20 years.

But the previous year was still full of flowers, and the next year it was cooking oil, and the wealth was lost tens of billions a year.

The Li family's city made a fortune by making real estate, and later got involved in ports, oil, electricity, and retail.

But he only fragmented his industry and turned it into a part of an industry, and never controlled the upstream, middle and downstream of an industry.

Such a company, no matter how big, can be regarded as a consortium.

Schwarch wanted to design a strategic plan for Jonas that was perfectly suited to Hoffman's investment banking, which could not be completed in a year or two.

Unlike Schwarch, who was a macroeconomist, Hugo was an expert in financial investment theory.

In this investment bank, he needs to be involved in specific investment matters, even including economic policy making.

He and Wolf are not the same type, but Wolf graduated from the University of Zurich, and he is now teaching at the University of Zurich, so the two are in the same camp.

On the contrary, although he and Rogers both graduated from Oxford University, they became opponents who could not be eased because of their tutelage.

He and Yannick studied under the economist Meade, who had an academic rival, Carl Pope, and Soros and Rogers were Pope's followers.

Popper is one of the most influential philosophers of our time, who founded the most important school of Western philosophy of science - critical rationalism, and is the idol of countless young Europeans.

Mead is regarded as a pioneer in the field of international economic macro theory and international economic policy in the West, advocating government regulation of the economy.

But Popper's philosophical argument is that the government should not be too involved in economic intervention and advocate for an open society.

Because of their different academic views, coupled with the promotion of the media and society, the two have become clear opponents.

As a student of Meade, he naturally has no good impression of Pope's students, not to mention that Rogers is still a deviant.

Since working for Hoffman Investment Bank, he has not expressed his attitude for the time being, but has been concentrating on studying the investment strategy and direction of Hoffman Investment Bank, and is ready to formulate the most suitable investment structure for Hoffman Investment Bank.

He was going to speak with the facts and come to the ring with Rogers.

However, Rodgers has been in Austria for this time, and the two have not yet had a chance to play each other.

Jonas sees such a collision as good for Hoffman's investment bank, as long as it does not turn the academic battle into a personal attack, allowing him to better control the bank.

What's more, they also have a Schwarch god sitting above them, and Jonas is not afraid that their struggle will affect the company.

October 9 is the annual grape harvest day.

On the evening of October 8, Jonas called his two uncles and mother to offer condolences.

It was a good year in Burgundy, and the grapes were growing very well, and the two uncles were happy to mention this.

When Jonas was wounded, both uncles visited him in Leukerbad. Although he was not their only nephew, Emir divorced Yannick.

They used to hate Yannick, but with Yannick's unexpected death, the grudge was overcome.

For their nephew, they have always been very fond of each other.

It was also at this time that he learned that Nicole had not returned to Australia and was still living at his mother's house.

Burgundy, the village of Romané.

Emil was dressed like a village maiden without make-up today, and was happily waiting with a group of recruited pickers to receive scissors and trays from his father-in-law, Henry.

In Burgundy, where the grapes are harvested entirely by hand, in slightly better wineries, and the vineyards use almost no pesticides unless they are exposed to pests or diseases.

When Nicole woke up that morning, she took out the test strip and tested it again.

Relatives didn't come this month, but it was less than two months, and the test paper still couldn't be measured, and she wasn't sure if she was really pregnant.

Having a child is not a burden for her, on the contrary, she thinks it's cool.

Of course, the main thing is to have a child, she and Jonas will not be forced to separate, and she can still do what she loves, so why not?

As for parenthood, seventeen-year-old Nicole is still too far away.

On Wednesdays 17 October and 24 October, the first phase of the competition was played by the European national teams.

Today's Europe has not been divided because of Yugoslavia, the Soviet Union has not disintegrated, and Czechoslovakia has not been divided, and the total number of countries is only forty-two.

This year, with the upper champion Italy directly entering the finals, Europe, which originally had 13 qualifying places, is now competing for 12 qualifying places.

Unlike Asia, which is a top 10 tournament, Europe divides 42 countries into eight groups, with the top teams in each group qualifying.

Subsequently, the second place winners from the eight groups will compete in the second stage, and four more spots will be selected.

The Swiss team is the champion of the European Cup, but the points in the international competition are not enough, and they can still only rank in the second bracket.

The first gear of their group is the powerhouse Poland, and their group, which is also the only two groups of six national teams, is not too strong.

Although Jonas was selected for the national team, the injury did not heal, and coach Enzelle did not let him play.

In the first game, Switzerland faced the weak team Luxembourg and easily won 3-1.

In the second game, the Swiss team challenged Northern Ireland away, and Jonas did not travel with the team, and the two sides fought 2-2.

Despite the lack of a victory, there were two away goals and the Swiss were satisfied.

However, the fact that both games have conceded goals has made Jonas more and more important.

Although Jonas did not play, he was more admired by the media.

On Saturday, October 27, Rogers took advantage of the stock market break to return to Zurich from Austria.

During his two months in Austria, Rogers became the savior of the Austrian stock market. In just over a month, Rogers has invested more than $700 million in the Austrian stock market.

Almost all stocks in the Austrian stock market today are cut in half, and no matter what stocks you invest in, the risks don't seem great.

Because Austria's real economy is actually very healthy, the reason why the stock market has changed so much is entirely influenced by the first meeting of six countries in West Germany last month.

Unlike West Germany, Austria lost all its ports after World War II, and their economy was completely dependent on West Germany.

A large part of Germany's exports belong to Austria.

Seeing that the value of the Deutsche Mark is going to rise, Austria's exports will be greatly affected. Germany has not yet reacted, but Austria has already begun to collapse.

This is mainly due to the fact that Austria itself was a congenitally deficient country, and after being forcibly separated from Germany, they withered.

For example, the shilling, a currency issued by their government, is the only foreign exchange linked to the Deutsche mark.

Their industry was supported by Germany, their currency was influenced by Germany, and their ability to resist risk was far less than that of Germany, which led to the current situation.

Wolf, who is in charge of risk control, still has $500 million in his hands and is ready to continue to buy the bottom at any time.

And Jonas's main concern for automobiles, the instructions of the auto parts company, were also carefully fulfilled by them.

At present, Hoffmann Investment Bank has become a shareholder in 13 companies in the automotive industry and is negotiating with the Austrian government about the possibility of holding a controlling stake.

Ninety percent of Austrian companies are state-owned, and the government cannot control any company without the consent of the government.
