Chapter 220: Great Benefits

In March, Austria, whose economy had almost collapsed, began to stabilize thanks to the policy support of West Germany.

But the nearly $2 billion invested by Hoffman's investment bank has now lost nearly 20 percent of its value.

The original bottom was copied, but now it is found that after the bottom is copied, it is actually a basement below.

However, both Rogers and Jonas are very optimistic about the future of Austria.

On March 19, Ursula held another fundraising conference for Hoffman Investment Bank, which was the third fundraising meeting she held for Hoffman Investment Bank.

In the first fundraising, Jonas received a $2.3 billion investment from his partners.

In the second fundraising, Rogers received nearly a billion dollars in investment.

Although Rogers' original 50% profit turned into a loss because of the February shock, anyone feels that the Austrian economy has bottomed out.

Although Austria's economy is extremely dependent on West Germany, because of this, their economy itself has not had problems, and it is full of confidence when the West German economy is still stable.

This time, the fundraising was not too smooth, on the one hand, because there were more people waiting and watching, but it was mainly in the hands of partners of interest groups, and there were not many funds.

Interest groups have hundreds of core partners and thousands of associated partners.

But at Seaman Investments, they have tens of billions of dollars circulating there, and on Wall Street, there are so many dollars in Steinhardt's hands.

Hoffman has now absorbed more than two billion yuan, and even if they have some in their hands, they will not invest all of them.

The fundraising conference raised only $800 million, but it has far exceeded Hoffman's expectations.

Because Hoffman Investment Bank is not short of investment funds now, but only lacks hedging funds and adjustment funds.

With $800 million, we will adjust the previous investments, and more importantly, the sufficiency of funds will also give commercial banks confidence, and they are willing to spend no less than this amount of funds to support Hoffman's investment bank.

In this, Dean Schwarch and Professor Hugo have played an active role.

Professor Hugo had a close relationship with Deutsche Bank, and he also helped to contact Deutsche Bank, which is headquartered in Frankfurt, when Hoffmann's investment bank was running out of cash.

This move has made UBS and Credit Suisse, two Swiss commercial banks, particularly dissatisfied and alarmed, who already regard Hoffmann as their closest partner, how to allow Deutsche Bank to get a piece of the pie.

Therefore, under the mediation of Dean Schwarch, they readjusted the risk management level of Hoffman Investment Bank, and were willing to come up with more funds to help Hoffman Investment Bank deal with the crisis.

Another factor in this is that Jonas's investment in Dongying has been very profitable.

Prior to February, Jonas had a return on investment of less than 40 percent at Dongying. However, Hoffman Investment Bank invested $1.7 billion, plus nearly a billion in loans.

Forty percent of $2.6 billion is also a return of $1 billion.

Although in terms of Austrian investment, their bank loans are already approaching the risk line of one billion dollar loans. But now that the dollar is depreciating and the yen is rising, Jonas has to add 20 percent to his profits.

In other words, Hoffmann Investment Bank has experienced some setbacks in the Austrian stock market, but the overall assets are still very good.

Relying on loans, currency exchanges, and capital guarantees to Hoffman Investment Bank, the two banks can make a profit of about $300 million this year.

With such a high-quality customer, how can they allow Deutsche Bank to dig into the wall!

Of the $800 million, Rogers invested all of it in the Austrian stock market, and in order to make greater profits, he even kept less than $100 million in reserves.

When the time came in April, the Austrian stock market began to fully recover, benefiting from the increase in orders from West Germany, the confidence of the Austrian public was restored.

At this time, everyone laughed happily, and the worry on Rogers' face was all gone.

This one, he won the bet.

Only Jonas was not worried, because he knew very well the outcome of the battle.

Every weekend, he is on the pitch and works hard to defend the team's title.

He recovered from the market because he hired the most professional neurologist to help him recover from the wound, and his injury did not affect the development of his muscles, and even the wound was not visible.

In late March and early April, he played one match each against Bulgaria and Malta, and both were victorious.

Now the Swiss team has won four games and drawn one in five games, and is firmly at the top of the group with a 13-point advantage.

On April 17, the match between Switzerland and Albania became the focus of the world.

First of all, half of the players of the Swiss team could not play in this game, and several players who were on the field pulled their pants on the field.

Jonas blocked three penalties in a row in one game to keep his team from three points and become a lone hero.

In this game, the careless Nzele faced the weak team, only reported a squad of sixteen people, and brought sixteen players to Tirana, Albania.

But on the day of the game, I don't know if it was an off-the-board move by the Albanians, because the team ate food infected with spiralium, half of the players couldn't pull out of the toilet.

There were eleven people on the field, and some players had diarrhea directly on the court, constantly changing their pants.

Jonas was lucky not to be one of them, and he didn't want to be famous.

The ineffective Swiss players couldn't run at all, and after scoring the first goal, they stuck to the half, and the busiest player of the game became Jonas.

And after this game, what was originally an ordinary qualifier became the focus of the world.

There have been many off-the-board moves in a soccer match, but this is the first time that the opposing team has been brought down.

After the game, FIFA and UEFA both organized investigation teams to investigate the truth about the poisoning of the players.

The lone hero Jonas kept the goal intact, which made him another wave of popularity in Europe.

Albania, the land of mountain eagles, is one of the poorest countries in Europe and a bridgehead for the Eastern Bloc in the West.

The game quickly turned into a conspiracy against Western countries in the mouths of the Western media.

The suspects of the poisoner include several large countries in the East, but there is no party in Albania.

Because Albania is so weak, there is no reason for them to carry out such a disgraceful operation against the group leader.

This conspiracy theory has become even more influential than the "Eureka Plan" proposed by French President Francois Mitterrand to pass on this day.

Project Eureka is a plan for joint research and development in the field of cutting-edge science developed by Western European countries in the face of increasing competition from the United States and Japan.

The main objective of this plan is to improve the national competitiveness of European companies and further develop the international market. EURECA is an abbreviation for "European Research Coordinating Agency".

Jonas is well aware that the introduction of this plan means that Europe will once again move to the top of the world in terms of cutting-edge technology.

For example, the European Institute for Particle Physics in Geneva, which was established in '54, has tripled its funding from various countries since '85.

Not only is this institute home to half of the world's famous physicists, but it is also the birthplace of the world's first website, the first web server, and the first browser.

In the long run, the Eureka program has far-reaching implications, but at this time, there is not yet a single game that matters.

The results of the investigation came out a week later, and the Swiss team found excessive levels of Helibacterium in the steak and milk they ate at their hotel in Tirana.

However, when there was no evidence that it was man-made, Albania was expanded by the outbreak caused by the bacterium spira.

At this point, no one is talking about conspiracy theories anymore.

Both the Eastern and Western camps have begun to quarantine and prevent the epidemic, and to provide economic and medical assistance to Albania.

Jonas and the others, after returning home, also faced quarantine.

A week later, Jonas was out of quarantine near Zurich, but Lucerne drew and lost.

Bern Juniors took advantage of the opportunity to take a one-point lead with two straight wins and become league leaders.

With four games to go, the two teams are out of the way to face each other, and if the youngsters keep winning all of their matches, it will be difficult for Lucerne to defend their title.

And Jonas's energy is not on the game, because at this time, whether it is studying or investing, he has no time to be distracted.

The Austrian stock market in May was one of the best performing markets in the world, with all stocks rising.

With this performance, Jonas invested nearly three billion dollars, and the book profit exceeded 100 percent.

During this time, Rogers became the brightest star in the world, and he can be seen in the newspapers and TV every day.

Since entering the Austrian market in August last year, although there have been some twists and turns, the results have been good.

In less than a year, he made more than 100 percent profits, doubled his wealth, and he is now highly regarded.

He gained fame, and Jonas got the benefits, because even the billions of dollars raised in his name were in the name of Hoffman's investment bank, not his own name.

Jonas can't figure out how much profit he can make now, even if he excludes the trading fees to Rogers, the interest and service fees to the bank, and the dividends to the partners, Jonas has at least seven or eight billion profits.

And a large part of these profits, he will not sell, but will negotiate with the Austrian government to control those companies.

This includes Steyr, who he values the most.

This automobile factory, with world-class technology and management, will be the core talent base of the future automotive company.

Even at an extra cost, Jonas wants to make it his own.

If it were now 90 years, everything would be easy.

In the drastic changes in Eastern Europe in 89 years, all European countries implemented the policy of national retreat and democratic advancement, setting off a high level of privatization.

At present, 90 percent of the enterprises in Austria, Czechoslovakia and other countries are state-owned enterprises.

But in the next few years, many state-owned enterprises will become privately owned.

For example, Skoda in the Czech Republic, which is now a state-owned enterprise, took the initiative to seek public acquisition in 90 and became a private enterprise.

Now that Jonas wants to buy Steyr, it will cost more energy and capital.

But for the industrial layout in Huaxia and the financial layout of Hoffman Investment Bank, everything is worth it.
