In 1920, Günther, who had become a wealthy man, moved to Berlin. After the defeat of Germany, the economy collapsed, unemployment and inflation remained high, the mark depreciated wildly, and much of the middle class was destitute. But it's a godsend for entrepreneurs, as inflation makes it easy for them to pay off their debts. During this period, Günther acquired a 30% stake in German wool weaving through a bank loan. Later, the company's share capital was increased, and Günter used up all his capital, and he was forced to sell all his shares because he could not bear the intense pressure from the banks.

The sale of the stake brought in a huge amount of cash, with Günter having 45 million marks in his bank account, which needed to be invested elsewhere immediately. Gunter bought more than 20 different shares at the time and made a profit as a minority shareholder, but he still wanted to gain more influence – he wanted to concentrate his investments on certain companies in order to gain decision-making power. Gunter saw a promising future for the battery industry, noting that the battery factory Co., Ltd. (AFA) had not increased its capital and shares since World War I, and the stock price was quite cost-effective, despite the continued depreciation of the mark. He quietly acquired shares and teamed up with another major shareholder, Darmstadt Bank, to eventually acquire AFA, a military battery company. The family took the first step in moving from the textile industry to heavy industry, buying a company with world influence for the first time.

During his tenure as chairman of the AFA's supervisory board, Günther became an influential investor, holding shares in a number of heavy industry, chemical, pharmaceutical, and machinery companies, and he was elected chairman of the supervisory board of the Deutsche Arms and Ammunition Factory (DWM), which owned the Mauser plant and produced hundreds of millions of rifles and countless ammunition during World War I. And the ensuing Second World War will bring unimaginable excess profits to the family.

Günther had three sons, Helmut, Herbert and Harald. Helmut was trained as an heir at birth and sent abroad to learn the language and increase his knowledge. Herbert had poor eyesight since he was a child, and he could not read at all, and could only learn by hearing. For the ill-fated Quandt family. Family succession is not destined to be smooth sailing. Günther encountered many misfortunes one after another, and at the age of 37, his first wife Anthony died of illness; Soon after, Günther married his second wife, Marg, and gave birth to Harald. In 1927, in the tragedy of a medical accident with appendicitis. The death of his eldest son, Helmut, who was only 19 years old, dealt a heavy blow to Günther.

The children of the Quandt family do not seem to be able to escape their destined trajectory. Herbert had just turned 17 when Helmut died, and from then on, his father pinned his hopes on Herbert to become the heir to the Quandt family. In the thirties of the 20th century, when the Great Depression swept the world, Gunter took the opportunity to take Herbert around the world at a time when the German economy was in a downturn. to raise heirs. Herbert studied languages in London, Paris, and in factories in the USA, England and Belgium.

The co-founder of BMW is Günter ? Quandt. In 1929, Günt? Quandt and his wife Magda? Rachel divorced, Magda? Rachel then married under the Minister of Propaganda, Joseph? Goebbels. Although divorced, Günther? Quandt and Rachel still have a friendly relationship.

Günt? Noah, the representative sent by Kuangte, nodded and said, "Of course we have no objection!" However, our BWM company is also a large company, and the company's assets and influence are also very large, so we hope to have a good price in terms of the transaction price. We have been measured and evaluated by professional institutions. BMW is worth at least 30 million marks, but we are willing to sell it to you for 28 million marks. I wonder what Mr. Philip and Mr. Messerschmidt think? ”

This Quant family really deserves to be a veteran capital family. They thought very well, as soon as they opened their mouths, it was 30 million marks, and it was calculated and evaluated by professional institutions, and they also took the initiative to reduce the price to 28 million marks, as if they had let the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex take a big advantage.

The other five shareholders are not the controlling shareholders of BWM, so of course they are only the leaders of the Quandt family. Of course, they had no problem with what Noah said, in fact, they had already negotiated before the negotiation, and this time they had to sell for 25 million marks. In this way, they will be profitable, and not only can they get rid of their baggage. And it is easy to make a profit, in fact, BMW is now worth no more than 15 million marks, not to mention BMW's continuous losses.

Messerschmidt laughed and said, "Mr. Noah is so clever, it looks as if we have taken advantage of it." However, we all know that BMW has been operating very hard in recent years, if it weren't for the fact that our M-series transport aircraft have brought some business and profits to BMW, I'm afraid that BMW has gone bankrupt and closed down, so how much money can you get? Moreover, now BWM is also a loss-making company, if we cancel the engine order, will your BMW collapse with a bang? It's nice that you can get 5 million marks. So I think you should be very clear that the current situation of BWM Company, it will only have a glimmer of life when it is in the hands of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex. So, can your offer be lowered? ”

Noah didn't expect that the other party had already made full preparations, and it seemed that the Dragon Soul Ordnance Consortium had already found out the situation of BMW! Indeed, the current BMW company is worth only 15 million marks at most, which is still supported by the engine order of the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, if the Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex does not order engines from BWM and chooses other aero engine companies, then BMW will really go bankrupt and go bankrupt, in that case, not to mention 15 million marks, whether there are 5 million marks is a problem, the key is that no one wants to take over! It's just that the auction company's equipment and land don't have much money, and they have to repay bank loans.

Noah looked at the other 5 people, and then said loudly: "Okay, we admit that the offer just now is indeed a bit high, why don't we reduce it by another 3 million marks, and the transaction price is 25 million marks?" You must know that although our BMW company does not have too many assets, all the technical personnel and related technologies are also very valuable, once this deal is reached, all of them will become the property of your Dragon Soul Ordnance Complex, which is also very needed for you, right? ”

At this time, Noah did not dare to break through Mr. Quandt's bottom line. (To be continued.) )
