Chapter 246: Merger with BMW

Hitler happily said: "Guderian, you are very good!" You gave me a glimpse of the future of the German Army! Not only should the army speed up its development, but the German air force should also step up its construction! We still don't have a real fighter! I hope that Dragon Soul Ordnance can devote its efforts to the design and development of new fighters as soon as possible, and I think we need more advanced fighters, especially jet fighters, to defend Germany! Now that you have become a cartel registered with the German government, you have to show your strength in the development of the weapons industry, and even merge and acquire some arsenals, so as to accelerate the integration of the weapons industry and provide more and more advanced weapons for our Germany better and faster! ”

Xiao Weiguo smiled and said, "Thank you for your support!" In fact, now we have a plan, that is, to merge BMW! As you know, BMW was also associated with Messerschmidt in the early years, so we also wanted to make the two companies one again! This will also help to accelerate the development of our aero engines and tank engines in a higher and bigger direction! Our new tank also needs two powerful diesel engines, and after BMW is merged into Dragon Soul Ordnance, it can also integrate resources and accelerate the development of Dragon Soul Ordnance in terms of engines! This idea still needs the strong support of His Excellency the Prime Minister to be completed! ”

Xiao Weiguo was also very happy to see Hitler today, so he said the method of merging BMW! You must know that BMW is a great company, although it is not particularly powerful now, but in the future it will be a company that will be famous all over the world! To be able to include such a company under its umbrella! Xiao Weiguo felt his heartbeat suddenly accelerate when he thought about it! Now that BMW has started to produce cars in addition to various engines, what a great feat would it be if BMW was merged into Dragon Soul Arsenal? Even Messerschmitt and Karl felt that Hitler would not agree, because BMW was not small. And there are government shares.

But unexpectedly, Hitler pondered for a moment and said, "Mr. Philip, are you sure that the merger of BMW into your Dragon Soul Ordnance will speed up the development of our tanks and fighters?" ”

Xiao Weiguo couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart and said: "Oh, your Excellency the Prime Minister, please rest assured of this no matter what." When BMW and BFW are reunited, we will have the world's strongest engine development and manufacturing team, and there will be no problems with tank engines! In addition, our Fenglei jet engine has basically completed the test and will be ready for mass production immediately, and with the addition of BMW, the production of our Fenglei series engine can be increased. As for the development of jet fighters, we are also preparing to test the M29 competitive aircraft, a small competitive jet aircraft that can become a new jet fighter with unparalleled combat power as long as it is slightly enlarged! ”

"Bang bang bang". Hitler clapped his hands and said, "Good! That's really good news! Regarding the merger of your Dragon Soul Ordnance with BMW, I will definitely give my full support! Now, what else can stop Germany from becoming stronger? Both our army and air force will soon become stronger! The development of the navy will also be slowly put on the agenda, and I believe that one day, Germany's army, navy and air force will be the most powerful in the world, and any country and person who dares to provoke Germany will pay the heaviest price! ”

Why did Hitler express his strong support for the acquisition of BMW by the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex? In fact, this was originally one of his plans to expand the arms war, and the new German government originally wanted to merge more enterprises into large monopolies, even if Xiao Weiguo did not mention it. He's ready to do the same! The industrial policy he was prepared to formulate was an important part of the economic system of the war, and the constant expansion of armament needs would promote the prosperity of Germany's arms industry and related industries. It also stimulated the recovery and development of the German economy to a great extent, and became an important economic foundation and material guarantee during the war.

Historically, in the thirties, many German factories were converted to military production, and by early 1934 the German Ministry of Defense would approve plans to mobilize 240,000 factories in the future for wartime orders. By 1935, more than 300 factories would be in operation. Among them are 60 aircraft factories, 45 automobile and tank factories, 15 military shipyards and 80 artillery factories! It can be seen that despite the devastation of the First World War, Germany's military industrial base is still there.

The current German cartel is not a cartel in the ordinary sense, it is similar to the concept of the union of the Dragon Soul Ordnance! Although each enterprise is relatively independent in terms of legal personality, the affiliated enterprises form a close community of interests, and the person appointed by the German government is the person in charge, and the person in charge has the right to decide on the entire cartel company! In fact, in addition to not being part of a corporate group in the legal sense, it is already a real corporate group! Similar to the parent company and subsidiary of the later generations!

From the perspective of the history of enterprise development, there have been various forms of commercial alliances, such as poole, cartels, syndicates, trusts, concentrics, modern enterprise groups and multinational corporations, international cartels and so on. In a sense, these commercial alliances are different manifestations of affiliated enterprises in different historical development processes. The formation and development of affiliated enterprises go hand in hand with the formation and development of industrial and commercial monopolies. The form of monopoly, in which short-term price agreements are the main content, is called Poole in the United Kingdom and the United States, and cartel in Germany and France. Following the trust, the monopoly union has also developed to a higher degree, and a number of large companies in different industries, with a giant company as the core, are combined through horizontal and vertical alliances to form a cross-industry comprehensive enterprise group, which is Kang Tseen, which is a comprehensive enterprise consortium. The word "conzen" is derived from the German language, which originally meant a variety of conglomerates, and was also a high-level form of monopoly, which came later than the emergence of cartels, syndicates and trusts, and on the eve of the First World War, it first appeared in Germany and Japan, which had a military nature, and was most widespread and popular in Germany.

The cartel policy that the Hitler government was preparing to implement, the cartel was similar to the organizational form of the Kanzeen. The so-called new type of cartel refers to an enterprise group in the form of a parent company, a subsidiary, and a grandson company formed by the majority equity of one enterprise controlled by another enterprise, that is, the parent company exerts decisive influence on the management policies of the subordinate enterprise by controlling the majority equity of the affiliated enterprise through the general meeting of shareholders, the board of directors or the board of supervisors.

Seeing that Hitler agreed to Xiao Weiguo's plan to merge BMW, Messerschmitt and Karl were also excited, and Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry further developed and expanded, which was exactly what they were looking forward to! They also want to know what the Dragon Soul Ordnance Industry can develop into in the end under the leadership of Xiao Weiguo! (To be continued.) )
