Chapter 520: Friendship (Part II)
Looking at the snow outside the window, Li Mo suddenly wanted to go back.
A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and there is no need to put himself in a less safe environment.
But it also illustrates the importance of the state.
Even if it was operated in Japan, Li Mo didn't have too many scruples, and when it came to the Soviet Union and the United States, it was really a little unclear.
Merkel opened her mouth.
Li Mo plagiarized a large amount of East German technology and registered patents, which is indeed a bit shameless. However, as soon as Li Mo mentioned businessmen, Merkel was speechless, what is a businessman, is a group of people who pursue profits.
Li Mo's eating appearance is quite good.
For example, after the Japanese plagiarized VCD technology and registered patents, they also collected patent fees from Chinese companies. At least Li Mo did not collect "patent fees" from relevant enterprises in the current East German region.
Moreover, although the Soviet Union had eased relations with China, it was actually two great powers guarding against each other.
Li Mo said directly: "Merkel, what do you want to do this time? If you are in trouble, please go back quickly, my time is more precious." If there is anything else, please say it directly, without going around in circles. ”
"Lee, you guessed it. ”
"What does it matter? The United States uses troops in the Middle East, the reason I believe you know, don't take it seriously what is to maintain world peace, but why do you Germany sponsor so much military spending? You Germany has a lot of money, why did you come to me?"
"Lee, without the United States, there will be no German unity, you have to understand. ”
But this is also what Li Mo admires most about the Germans.
Unlike Japan after World War II, Germany was miserable. First, the United States and the Soviet Union carved up all of Germany's advanced technology, and then came an astronomical reparation, with the United States, the Soviet Union, Britain and France demanding $50 billion in compensation from Germany.
As we all know, national wealth and GDP are two different things, 89 years in Tokyo, 20 years later in Kyoto, the wealth of real estate alone exceeds the GDP of the United States, some people say that the Chaka salt lake in Qingdao Province is worth 10 trillion yuan, it cannot be said that this statement is completely wrong, they are indeed wealth, but how much GDP can these wealth be turned into, and how much income can it bring to ordinary people, if the current Soviet Union, some people say that the national wealth of the Soviet Union has reached 20 trillion US dollars, but the GDP is only a few hundred billion US dollars.
GDP and existing funds are two different things, and then only China is slightly better and can get a lot of foreign exchange, if it is exchanged for the United States, don't look at its GDP surpasses China, but let them take out a trillion dollars in cash, except for the money printing machine, they really can't take it out.
In 45 years, the US dollar was really money, and the GDP of the entire United States was only a little more than 200 billion yuan at that time, and the GDP of the entire world together was not 500 billion US dollars.
The post-war German economy was certainly not able to come up with it, so several countries began to openly "legally" loot German wealth. Among them, the Soviet Union was the most ugly, not only forcibly taking away Germany's movable assets, but also dismantling the equipment of a large number of German factories and transporting them back to the Soviet Union. Nearly 700 enterprises have been completely demolished, and some of the enterprises that have been demolished are estimated to be 1367-2033, and even the rails of the railway have been demolished one by one, and even the bicycles in the hands of ordinary people have been snatched away.
Western countries eat a little better, but they also rob a lot of good things, especially the United States, which has robbed a large number of patents, trademarks, scientists, and intellectual compensation.
Later, Germany successively compensated many countries, including Eastern Europe, Greece and other small countries, as well as the Jews in Israel, and compensated large sums of money, for example, as of 86 years, only to the Jews in Israel, 90 billion marks were compensated, and it continued until the beginning of the new century before this reparation ended. At the same time, more than 100,000 square kilometers of territory were lost......
What is even more interesting is that a few years later, what brilliant performance did the Greeks have in World War II? Li Mozhen can't remember. But in order to get out of the crisis, the Greeks almost drove the whole of Germany crazy by saying that Germany still owed Greece $183.3 billion in World War II reparations.
But even in this case, Germany is still developing economically and technologically.
The Japanese had better economy and science and technology, but what did they lose after the war? Fortunately, it was because the United States received great support and assistance from the United States in order to confront the Soviet Union and China, and Japan led to its development.
The hatred of the country and the family must be remembered, and do not think that the past is over, and if there is a change in China, the Japanese will inevitably give China a bloody knife...... The reason is simple, they have always wanted to go ashore. But putting aside the hatred of the country and the family, in fact, Li Mo also admires this country in his heart.
But the Germans are even more remarkable.
They really got up from a pile of rubble.
The senses could not be substituted into the negotiations, and Limer said: "Merkel, but I will also help you to reunify Germany." ”
"Lee, this is your promise. ”
"I'm down, Merkel, although it's a promise, but you can't just come up and question me fiercely. ”
"You promised!"
"Merkel, even if I promised, you have to take my affection. Hey, I've found that you're really looking more and more like a successful politician now, even more brazen than I am. ”
"What do you say...... Lee, no kidding. Chancellor Kohl asked me to come and invite you to Germany. ”
"Merkel, our ancient Chinese philosophy understands the country like this, self-cultivation and unity of the family to govern the country and level the world......"
This level is not the level of peace, of course, it is not exactly the level of peace, it is the level of both, it has the meaning of peace, and it also has the meaning of stability. But let Li Mo translate it into peace.
"Self-cultivation is to cultivate one's own knowledge and morality, so that one can lead the family to live a good life, and when the family is harmonious, can one help the king govern the country with peace of mind. At the same time, we in China have another saying, the small is the family, and the big is the country. Without thousands of small families united and fraternized, there would be no strong and prosperous country. Without the protection of the state, a small family cannot guarantee security. Such as Kuwait when it was annexed by Iraq, such as Iraq when it was defeated by your multinational army. Therefore, the people must love the country, and the country must also love the people. In fact, there are many truths that are common between home and country, just like you and your husband, although you are a loving husband and wife, I believe that there will be occasional bumps. Moreover, East and West Germany have been separated for so long and suddenly unified, and the previous system is different, and some conflicts cannot be avoided. ”
"You want to refuse?"
"Did I say I was going to say no? Yes, I got some benefits from your East Germans, but I am a businessman after all, and every investment has to be made with returns in mind. But do you have an American market in Germany, and I have so many friends in the United States. If there is no market, then you have to consider the cost factor, your German labor cost is so high, what is the cost advantage?"
"Li, you come to invest in our Germany, and our Germany will take care of you. ”
"Merkel, you haven't figured out what I'm talking about. The reunification of Germany and the integration of the two Germany will inevitably produce some headaches, but they can all be solved. If you can solve the problem, and you must need me? When it is really impossible to solve the problem, I will naturally lead the negotiation team to your Germany without your greeting. ”
Merkel finally understood.
What Li Mo meant was not to let them solve it by themselves, but to enter Germany now, and the Germans might not be able to accept Li Mo's favors. When the situation was even worse, Limer entered, which was not only conducive to negotiation, but also to many Germans.
"Lee, you're such a businessman!"
"Merkel, I was originally a businessman. Okay, I'm not talking about interests, I'm just talking about feelings. On the night before last, you and I led the people of Berlin to tear down the Berlin Wall, and you said, do the leaders of the former East Germany know about it? If they had ordered us to be shot at that time, would you still be able to reunify Germany? At least in my heart, I am still very grateful to Erich Honecker. Most of us in China firmly believe in a saying, the grace of a drop of water is reciprocated by a spring. But ......" Li Mo shook his head.
Merkel was moved.
In fact, the Berlin Wall began to be torn down, but Honecker's insistence on non-reunification, coupled with the opposition of Britain and France, Germany was still not reunified, at least not last year. But Li Mo didn't mention it, and almost no one thought about it anymore.
"Lee, is this your condition?"
"Merkel, I dare to mention such a condition, just to use an analogy, you say promises, say love, say right and wrong. But in fact, in the political arena, it is also based on interests. ”
The previous promises of various politicians in West Germany that after reunification, Germany will not liquidate the leaders of East Germany, why they would go back on it, is nothing more than to quickly remove the imprint of these people in East Germany and scandalize the previous system of East Germany.
Last year, Merkel brought back to Germany some of the possibilities that Limer had said, and Kohl also took it seriously.
In fact, without Li Mo's reminder, they also knew that the East German region would face some troubles after reunification, but they still held a very optimistic attitude.
Besides, so many elites can't be inferior to a hairy boy.
However, after reunification last year, all kinds of headaches came quickly, and they were even more serious than what Li Mo said.
It just so happened that they heard that Limer was in Switzerland.
Li Mo also did not have the ability to solve the problem of East Germany, which was not a large country in terms of area, but it was also a medium-sized country with an area similar to that of South Korea, with more than 16 million yuan and relatively developed industries.
However, if you give a force, he will give a force, and all kinds of contradictions in East Germany will be alleviated. Moreover, the funds that Li Mo has, as well as his wisdom, can be regarded as a force to be reckoned with, so Merkel came.
In fact, they still underestimated Li Mo.
With the funds that Li Mo has, some of his ideas, and the convenience of leading technology in the West, the combination of the three plays a much greater role than they imagined.
Of course, it also has huge benefits for Li Mo.
But Li Mo can't really be Lei Feng, and now is definitely not a good time to enter East Germany. Merkel's mouth was worn out, and he couldn't agree to it, and finally Limer said: "Merkel, in this way, a year, a year later, if you still think you need some help from me, I will bring the funds into your German ......"
"A year?"
"Even if I agree now, I have to send someone to think about it in detail, and it will be a year later," Limer thought in his mind, the main Merkel has just entered the political arena, not very mature, in a few years, there will be no need to explain so hard, he added: "Merkel, you have also entered the political arena, you should be able to see a lot of things." Sometimes because of interests, even the signed contract can be torn up, and a verbal promise. ”
"I help, although you have the credit of the reunification of Germany in all aspects, but also the credit of my promotion, I hope that this matter can be completed well, and I also hope to exchange your friendship, you want to say love, in fact I want to be love. But this affection is given to each other, I am good to you, you are good to me, there will be affection. It's affection, it's friendship, but it's not my responsibility. ”
But Li Mo said in his heart that compared with East Germany, West Germany has more good things.
…………
The appraisal process was beyond the expectations of others, and it was originally thought that the most difficult to value was the Giant Commercial Bank, after all, Li Mo would pay back six times the rubles in the future. Compared to Giant Bank, Swiss Bank is easy to solve, it is itself a loan process, the reason why these gems and gold are used as collateral is just to add a safe weight to the bank.
But in the process of evaluating the facts, on the contrary, Hao Lick took the appraisers to negotiate with the appraisers of several Swiss banks, trying to lend more money, but in the appraisal process with the appraisers of Giant Bank, they were very relaxed, so there is no doubt that Li Mo will pay a lot more rubles in the future.
End of assessment.
More than a dozen Yanai from the Soviet Union took the initiative to entertain Li Mo, can such an assessment still dissatisfy them?
Russian men are heavy drinkers, so this spring something happened that became widely circulated: "The Motherland Needs Your Stomach".
The protagonist of the story is a Chinese-Russian mixed-race and the only very handsome white general in China, Lin Hu.
There are multiple versions, but none of them are the correct one.
The correct version is that with the further improvement of Sino-Soviet relations, China sent a delegation to Moscow this spring to discuss arms purchases.
But now China is relatively unfamiliar with the Soviet military industry in general, after all, the relationship between the two countries was the same before.
Because of the bloodline, Lin Hu is also among the representatives.
Soviet Air Force generals began to show the delegation the MiG-29, MiG-23ML and Su-25 aircraft, and the delegation took a fancy to the MiG-29. At this time, an old comrade-in-arms of the Soviet Air Force who had fought side by side with Lin Hu on the Korean battlefield heard that Lin Hu was coming, so he entertained Lin Hu. Lin Hu drank a lot of alcohol, and soon drank his old comrade-in-arms, so this old comrade-in-arms spit out the truth after drinking, saying, "Why do you want a MiG-29, that thing is a 'swallow' that can't fly over the Dnieper, if you want to buy it, you should buy our 'Blue Lightning (Su-27)'".
There are better planes, of course, good planes, and the Chinese delegation immediately asked to see the Su-27, and in the subsequent negotiations it was made clear that we had to buy this aircraft. When this news reached the ears of Soviet Defense Minister Yazov, the commander of the Air Force and several generals involved were scolded to the core. Scolding and scolding, going forward, everyone understands, if the price offered by the Chinese delegation is right, they can sell their parents to China.
But it also speaks of the chaos that is now in the USSR.
Can such an important negotiation be treated as a child's play? Moreover, China is not an ally of the Soviet Union at all.
In addition, it shows that China is still begging the Soviet Union for the time being, so every time it will send some people who can drink to entertain the Soviets, and they have to drink well.
This law doesn't work on Li Mo's side, and the reason is simple, it is these people who ask Li Mo for it.
Li Mo's alcohol consumption is okay, but in this life, he is afraid of drinking and making mistakes, so he doesn't drink much anymore, and his alcohol consumption is much smaller. Li Mo pondered, in his fifties, he could drink about five or six taels, and after six taels, he might exceed the warning line.
But even the amount of alcohol he drank in his previous life couldn't do these hairy beards. Li Mo would not be stupid to fight with these Yanei, and after a round of toasting, he and Hao Like came to the side and sat down.
Halik said: "Boss, the woman you met the day before yesterday seems to be a rising star in German politics, right?"
The first two times Li Mo came to Germany, Hao Like did not come. Although he also pays a little attention to German news because of Limer, he does not deliberately pay attention to Merkel. It was only today that I accidentally saw some news from Merkel in the newspapers.
"yes, I have a story with her. ”
Anyway, it was boring, so Li Mo told him what had happened.
"How bad is the situation in East Germany now?"
It is not visible from the text.
For example, China's price breakthrough has failed, which once led to a sharp rise in prices and a large number of panic purchases.
In fact, it has derived many bad products, such as the subsequent regulation and control, which led to the chain of debts and production stagnation in the previous year, and the turmoil in the previous year was more or less related to the failure of price control.
In addition, production has stagnated, many businesses are in a state of semi-shutdown, and many young people are unemployed or unemployed, so law and order has deteriorated rapidly, and black associations have appeared in most parts of the country.
The southern tour of the chief designer of 92 and the subsequent deepening of reform also brought many negative factors.
The governance of an iron-fisted prime minister has likewise generated more negative factors.
The reunification of the two Germans will certainly have a far-reaching positive impact on the Germans, but at present, these negative factors should not be underestimated, and in fact they are far more serious than Li Mo knows.
Limer succinctly explained: "No system is perfect, including your American and West German systems. After the reunification of Germany, it will move from one extreme to the other, and these are also inevitable factors. To put it simply, the workers in West Germany are more than they work and get more without work, and the workers in East Germany are eating and waiting to die to get wages, and they are unwilling to let go of their bodies while watching the high income of West German workers.
A few years later, it will also be China's turn.
The iron rice bowl was quickly broken, and of course, the country did not have sufficient financial resources to enter the transitional resettlement, and then the same chaos arose.
"Boss, why help the Germans?" Haulik was still a little puzzled.
Li Mo also has compassion and affection, but he is definitely not a virgin.
Others don't know Li Mo's details, can Hao Like still be unclear?
In fact, it is Merkel who is suspected of having a virgin, so although she is not too bad about China, otherwise she would not have visited China nine or ten times, she has always maintained a tough attitude on the issue of human rights and Zang Province.
She did not interfere in China's policy, and ended up in a mud pit with Germany, and even the whole of Europe.
"Hao Lick, think again?"
Li Mo also had some vague hints before, Hao Like thought for a while, and finally came up with it: "It turns out, it turns out to be ......"
"Just know it, don't say it. ”
"This woman is really stupid, she dares to beat the boss's idea. ”
Li Mo was speechless, although Merkel is suspected of being a virgin, but people are really not stupid, otherwise they can be the head of Germany for more than ten years?
