Chapter 79: The Beginning of the Great Change (18)
"Da Shao, hasn't the quality control of Inspur products stabilized?"
As soon as the phone was connected, Liu Wenyue was concerned about the things on the other side of the wave.
The members of the Yuanjia Conference naturally know that Yuanjia has a lot of business, but the only ones that can really be called the core business are electronics and aviation.
"Uh~uh~~. ”
Liang Yuan was almost stuck by Liu Wenyue's question, how could he say that he carelessly raised his pet to death and then found someone to cheat, which is too ruinous to ruin his image.
"I accidentally spilled water on the chassis, and the keyboard and monitor were a little short-circuited, and Jiang Jingfeng and a few of them came over to show me. ”
Someone's witty and decisive turn in.
Liu Wenyue knew from Liang Yuan's moment that the reason behind someone was pure nonsense, but since Liang Yuan chose nonsense, it means that Inspur's quality control is fine, and Liu Wenyue doesn't care about the rest.
"Da Shao, I found an interesting clue in the GDR, and the custodian Da Shao is interested in this news. ”
Liu Wenyue was kind enough to bring the topic back to the right path.
"Oh? ”
In view of the approaching winter of socialism, Liang Yuan is interested in all the seemingly inconspicuous news on the European side, history has been tampered with to this point, and God knows which socialist brick will be shaken and the entire socialist edifice will completely collapse.
"Dashao, now the group's financial situation has improved greatly, I think this matter should have a lot of use, the reason for the matter is this, because the group intends to implement the ERP plan, so a few days ago I summarized all the economic data since the establishment of the GDR Yuanjia, and when I analyzed it, I noticed a bit abnormal data from it, and I followed this data to find a big secret. ”
Liu Wenyue's suggestion that this long-deregistered enterprise refers to the data of all the commodities exported by the entire Yuanjia system to the GDR itself and to the Federal Republic of Germany through the GDR in recent years.
With the establishment of the supermarket system in East Germany, since the beginning of last year, Yuanjia has steadily purchased various light industrial products and small household appliances worth 1 billion yuan from China every month through the channel of Fengyuan Material and Trade for export to the GDR.
After removing various expenses such as cross-border freight, national taxes, and cost of goods, Fengyuan Trade will settle back the net profit of 400 million East German marks from the East German supermarket system every month.
After Deutsche Bank successfully acquired Lao Fengyuan Trade and renamed its East German supermarket system as Bavarian Business Group, it started a free travel project similar to the future republic in the name of exchanges between the two Germanys.
For a cross-border travel fee of 100 West German marks at a Bavarian branch in the Federal Republic of Germany, you can benefit from the membership services of a company belonging to the Bavarian Business Group.
When the user, who paid 100 West German marks, came to East Germany for sightseeing purposes, he found that the so-called Bavarian membership service was the ability to exchange goods or services in the name of loyalty points in East German supermarkets.
Each 100 West German marks are worth 600 points, which is equivalent to directly bypassing the barriers of non-trade between the two Germanys, and the official exchange ratio of the two German marks is 1 to 4, and the exchange of points is equivalent to directly getting the exchange of 1 to 6 and eliminating the uncertainty of black market transactions.
After more than two years of full development, the number of daily crossings between the two countries is now as high as 200,000, and the original full capacity of 896 transit trains has changed from three a day to one every 10 minutes, almost all night.
The most conservative estimates are that at least 50 million dollars flow around the line every day, and it is this kind of exchange that is in full swing that is the root cause of the agreement between the two Germans to start the construction of a new maglev line in the Berlin metropolitan area.
In this magnificent channel of free procurement of light industrial products, East Germany was the landlord who sat on the land and divided the money, West Germany provided customers or consumption power, Yuanjia provided goods, and the Red Army stationed in Europe provided armed protection.
Moreover, as long as Germany is not reunited, it is impossible to be held accountable for violating the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany, after all, the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany do not govern the GDR, and the laws of the GDR do not govern the head of the Federal Republic of Germany.
Therefore, under the entanglement of interests, this road has crossed the Soviet Command in Europe and the high-level political and economic circles of the two Germanys, and has grown into a deformed and huge interest complex, even Liang Yuan, the initiator, cannot guess how deep the water will be under this road.
At present, the international exchange rate is about 1 US dollar to 4 West German marks and 1 West German mark to 4 East German marks, while the current foreign exchange rate of the Republic is 1 US dollar to 4 yuan, and the value of the renminbi is basically the same as that of the West German mark.
The GDR's failure to recognize the republic's apparently overvalued exchange rate was the root cause of the delay in large-scale free trade between the republic and the GDR at the official level.
After peeling off the skin, Yuanjia can get a net income of 1500 million West German marks per month from this "sightseeing" route, which is equivalent to 37.5 million US dollars.
Before Jardine Matheson started, this income was the most important discretionary liquidity in Liang Yuan's hands, relying on this continuous trickle, Liang Yuan had the confidence to leverage the domestic production and supply system of up to 10 billion yuan throughout the year, so as to maintain high-intensity investment in Brilliance and Gangji Power Collector without mercy.
Of course, with the acquisition of Jardine Matheson, Yuanjia finally got rid of the financial model whose fate hung by a thread.
Yuanjia, HSBC and Deutsche Bank colluded in Hong Kong to eliminate countless speculators with dreams of making a fortune, and only used 3.2 billion Hong Kong dollars to complete Liang Yuan's expected growth plan.
Hongkong Land's stake in Yuanjia increased from 36.8% to 55%, Dairy Cow International increased from 58% to 65%, and Jardine Pacific increased from 63% to 70%, and only Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group, which originally held 70% of the shares, did not start the shareholding plan.
After retaining 30% of the shares of Jardine Matheson in the four major listed companies in Hong Kong, Yuanjia mortgaged 25% of the equity of Yuanjia Land and obtained a five-year commercial loan of 4.8 billion yuan from Deutsche Bank.
At the same time, 32% of Jardine Pacific, 18% of Dairy International and 20% of Mandarin Oriental Hotel have received a five-year commercial loan of HK$9 billion from HSBC.
In order to tentatively start the road of cooperation with domestic banks, Yuanjia pledged 7% of the shares of Dairy Cow International, 8% of Jardine Pacific and 20% of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel to the Hong Kong branch of Bank of China, and also obtained a five-year commercial loan of 2.7 billion Hong Kong dollars.
After some adjustments, Jardine Matheson Group changed from holding 15% of the shares and the rest of the mortgage in the Kaiser family era to holding 30% of the shares in the Yuanjia era, and the reserve cash of the Jardine Matheson Group increased from 10.2 billion Hong Kong dollars in the Kaiser family era to 18.3 billion Hong Kong dollars in the Yuanjia era.
Generally speaking, HK$6 billion is sufficient to maintain the day-to-day operation of Jardine Matheson, and even if an additional HK$3 billion of liquid funds are prepared, the Jardine Matheson Group still has HK$9 billion of spillover funds to invest.
Liu Wenyue found that since the beginning of this year, the group's net profit of 400 million East German marks per month has begun to increase at a rate of 5% per month, and has now become 530 million East German marks per month.
Originally, Liu Wenyue thought that at the end of last year, in order to test the East German society, West Germany made a supplementary shopping rebound when the business was closed for rectification and normal business was restored, but after observing for half a year, Liu Wenyue felt that the matter was suspicious, and then took the trouble to investigate carefully, and found out from the side of the Soviet Red Army in Europe.
It began at the latest in September last year, when the Soviet Red Army Command in Europe, under domestic orders, began to work from the supermarket's main warehouse in Berlin, and the Soviets directly dispatched troops to take the goods from the main warehouse at night and not sell them on the shelves, and then the Soviet Command in Europe transferred the money to the supermarket's account at the normal retail price through more than 150 decentralized accounts.
Originally, when the East German supermarket was established, Yuanjia did not have any employees except for finance, and there were no problems with the accounts, and no one cared who bought the things.
The quantity of supply on the side of the republic has not changed, the Soviets have robbed part of the goods, and the shortage will naturally be transmitted to the market, and the West Germans will completely operate according to the market economy after buying the supermarket, and the price increase in the face of shortage is almost a conditioned reflex, Yuanjia does not accept rubles, and the Soviets can only pay with East German marks, and finally reflect on Yuanjia's books on the profits of East German marks are rising.
Because the Soviets were very secretive, Liu Wenyue only knew about the existence of the incident through the internal line of the European Command, and the details of how and when it happened, whether the top level of the East German government knew about it, how the two sides distributed the shares, and how the settlement was settled, were not known for the time being.
Liang Yuan listened to Liu Wenyue, he didn't know what to say, no wonder so far this year, the territory of the Soviet Union has been peaceful, Lao Maozi really has no tradition of sitting still, even if he can't talk to Liang Yuan, he has already found a way to save the country.
