As the day passed, the mayor of West Berlin, Dipgen, with a worried look on his face, reported to a few people in the conference room in the government building. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"At 11 o'clock today, the Berlin Wall section of the Brandenburg Gate was opened, and the people on both sides of us could come and go freely, and when the East Germans checked passers-by, we also urgently set up a guard post to check the passing personnel and prevent the infiltration of KGB agents, and at the same time, we also got specific statistics." Dipgen was very worried, he looked at the few people in front of him, German Chancellor Helmut, as well as US President Ronald Reagan, and US Secretary of State George and others, his heart was full of complaints. Damn, such a big thing, without notice in advance, and now, things have evolved into such a result!

"Well, how many East Germans are unwilling to return to West Germany?" At this time, Helmut was still full of confidence. Ever since the Berlin Wall was erected, we have seen East Germans trying to flee to West Germany, and no West Germans have wanted to flee to East Germany. Now, with the opening of this passage, there should be a lot of East Germans who will not return, right?

"Today's statistics show that by 7 o'clock in the evening, when the gate was closed, there were 2,300 West Germans who had walked through the Berlin Wall and reached the opposite side, of whom 1,800 had returned before the gate was closed, of which 500 West Germans had remained in East Germany and had not returned. On the East German side, 863 people came to West Germany, and the number of those who returned was 742. ”

Because when the gate was first opened, many West Germans ran into the GDR, so this data is only approximate and not accurate, but they have detailed records of the people who came from the GDR.

"So little?" Reagan was also moved, and in order to protect his safety, after the gate was opened, the people left there, and after that, the newspapers all over the world publicized Reagan's great victory, and after Reagan's shout, the Berlin Wall was forced to open the passage. Freedom and democracy will win!

However, this result surprised everyone, how is this possible?

"Yes, we expect that half of the 500 or so people who are stranded in East Germany will choose to stay in East Germany, except for those who have seen their relatives and stay overnight in East Germany." Dipgen continued: "The conditions on this first day were not optimistic for us, and, more importantly, the more than 1,800 people we had returned, their pockets were almost empty. ”

Empty pockets? Hearing this, Helmut asked, "What's going on here?" ”

"They consumed in East Germany, and most of the consumer goods were electronics, personal computers, walkmans, game consoles, etc., and the prices on their side were much lower than the prices on our side, so when they entered the GDR and found out that electronic products were cheap, they began to rush like crazy. It is said that those who came later could no longer buy electronic products and were out of stock. We have predicted that tomorrow, the flow of people will increase further sharply, maybe tens of thousands of people will go to East Germany to treasure for treasures, and these electronic products are their favorite. "The East Germans must have prepared in advance, digging a pit and waiting for us to jump in," Dipgen said. It is estimated that this evening, the whole of Germany will be spread about cheap electronics in East Germany. We have increased our police presence in advance to prevent congestion and accidents in the passage at the Brandenburg Gate tomorrow. ”

Damn it! Hearing this, Helmut was finally moved, this is simply cutting the blood of West Germany!

West Germany has a developed economy and is the pride of the whole of Western Europe in terms of industry. However, in terms of the electronics industry, West Germany has shortcomings, they are not as good as the United States, and they are not as good as the island countries.

And when the Soviet Union occupied the island country, it took away the electronic technology of the island country, and moreover, taking advantage of the planned economy of the Soviet Union, the country invested a large amount of money to advance the electronic technology by several decades at once! The electronic superiority of the West over the USSR, completely disappeared!

In order to sanction the island countries that have taken refuge in the eastern bloc, the entire NATO has imposed high tariffs on the products of the island countries, and at the same time to protect domestic electronics companies, which has allowed the German electronics industry to further develop, but there is still a gap in the island countries, and the electronic products of the island countries that have entered their own markets are still selling well, which is an example.

And this time, the opening of the Berlin Wall suddenly allowed cheap electronic products from the East to occupy their own market! From now on, our own electronics industry will suffer a serious impact from the East! This harm cannot be overstated!

Even though he didn't see it in person, Helmut could imagine the excitement of his own citizens walking through the Berlin Wall with a heavy computer on their backs! For ordinary people, they only care about the cost performance of goods, and absolutely do not care about the interests of the country!

What to do? The best thing to do would be to convene a conference immediately and draft a new law that would impose a consumption tax on cheap electronics bought by civilians from East Germany! Make up the difference in price to stop this action!

However, if this is done, the prestige of the government will be discredited!

Thinking of this, Helmut couldn't help but look at the side that after the Berlin Wall opened the passage, the Soviets lost face and won another great victory, preaching that NATO can only confront the East if it is united under the US-led system, and in the blink of an eye, it was slapped in the face.

Originally, in a few months, Helmut would have stepped down, and his term as prime minister was coming to an end, who would have thought that at this time, such a big event would happen!

"President Reagan, what advice do you have for the current situation?" Helmut asked.

As the culprit, the current Reagan, must give Germany an explanation! It was fine, but I had to come to the Berlin Wall to give a speech, I thought I could deflect the crisis, but who knows, things have taken a turn again!

"Prime Minister Helmut, don't be nervous, can this little thing stump us?" Reagan said: "Wouldn't it turn the tide if the electronics in East Germany sold for the same price on our side?" Do we still need to discuss this little trick of business competition? ”

In the face of Reagan's answer, Helmut was finally speechless, and Dipgen on the side couldn't help but explain: "The problem is, now the price of electronic products in East Germany has exceeded our cost, and if we compete, the company must not lose money?" (To be continued.) )
