"Boss, the country has just released the GDP data for 1988!" Liu Yinyin stepped forward and said to Zhao Ye.

"Oh, what was the country's GDP last year?" Zhao Ye asked.

"3.25 trillion yuan!"

Liu Yinyin replied, paused, and added, "It has increased by 1.21 trillion yuan over the GDP of 1987!" ”

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but show a smile on his face.

Speaking of which, China's GDP in 1988 was only 1.52 trillion yuan.

However, in this life, under the influence of Wujiang Group, China's economic development is very rapid!

The main thing is that electronic products and China's semiconductor industry chain have developed, and there is no need to spend dollars to import them abroad.

On the contrary, because of the Wujiang Group, the country has obtained a large amount of foreign exchange, and with foreign exchange, the country can introduce advanced production equipment, create higher GDP, and form a virtuous circle.

Of course, the revenue of Wujiang Group itself is also very high, accounting for about 5% of the country's GDP.

Zhao Ye recalled that in the previous life, China's GDP did not exceed 3.5 trillion yuan until 1993, but now it was realized in 1988, which shows that Wujiang Group has had a great impact on the country in the past four or five years since its establishment.

If the economy is strong, it will have the financial resources to develop the military industry.

Although Zhao Ye didn't know what the country's current military strength was, it was definitely stronger than the same period in his previous life.

However, China's military modernization process should be relatively slow, and it should still be stuck in the war mentality that has been formed since World War II, which mainly uses ground forces to carry out large-depth and rapid assaults to win victory.

Times have changed, and so have the patterns of warfare.

Zhao Ye is very clear about the way of modern warfare, mainly with air technology and equipment to become the core force in the war, electronic warfare aircraft, stealth aircraft, and precision-guided weapons are widely used, making the war from the mechanized era into the information age. In this mode of operation, the traditional theory of strategic depth has basically lost its significance, the battlefield airspace has become unprecedentedly vast, there is no distinction between the front line and the rear, there is no need to care about the gains and losses of one city and one place, and even if the two warring sides are thousands of miles apart, they can still strike at each other's core targets, and truly achieve "a decisive victory thousands of miles away." It is possible that the two armies have not even met before the victory and defeat have been decided.

After the development and growth of Wujiang Group, whether intentionally or unintentionally, it will get involved in the military industry, such as chips, spare parts processing, software, operating systems, etc......

The military has cooperated with the Borderless Group.

Can Wujiang refuse? No.

Since it can't, then it is better to take the initiative to embrace and develop Wujiang into China's Boeing, Raytheon, Lockheed Martin, and General Dynamics......

If you want not to be bullied, you must have a strong military.

Both Tiangong Technology and Space Exploration Technology have the potential to develop into military giants.

……

At this time, Zhao Ye was not in a hurry to launch the "Tomahawk" in the game market, because there were still many game software that had not yet been developed, and the stock of the "Tomahawk" home game console was insufficient, and there were only about 1 million units at present.

It may seem like a lot of 1 million units, but in fact, the Japanese game market alone may sell out in less than a week.

Therefore, at least 5 million Tomahawk home game consoles should be stockpiled.

Moreover, Wujiang Group said that the global game market will sell at least 30 million "Tomahawks" a year, otherwise it will be a failure.

"Taking advantage of the honeymoon period between China and the United States, hurry up to purchase a batch of advanced five-axis linkage CNC machining centers from outside!" Zhao Ye drank tea, and his thoughts flew to the field of precision machining.

The aerospace industry needs a lot of advanced spare parts, and after 1991, the whole world will be numb by the American muscles show off, and the shock will be overwhelming. At that time, China will vigorously develop modern weapons, and the precision machining industry will usher in huge opportunities for development.

At present, only the set of five-axis linkage CNC machining center purchased from Philips by Tiangong Technology Company is completely insufficient.

Therefore, it is better to buy as much as you can now.

……

Tiangong Technology Company.

General Manager Zhou Huicheng received a call from Zhao Ye at this time.

"Boss, what's the matter?" Zhou Huicheng asked.

Zhao Ye nodded and directly ordered: "Tiangong Technology cannot produce high-end CNC machine tools in a short period of time, so I plan to continue to purchase a batch of high-end CNC machine tools from abroad." When the time comes, you arrange someone to go to Germany and place orders with precision machining giants such as DMG Sen Precision Machinery and TRUMPF Group. ”

When Zhou Huicheng heard this, he was immediately overjoyed.

The high-end CNC machine tools bought can not only carry out spare parts processing business externally, but also allow scientific researchers to use them for research and further accelerate the research progress of Tiangong Technology Company in the field of high-end CNC machine tools.

"Okay, boss, but how many high-end CNC machines are you going to purchase?" Zhou Huicheng asked.

Zhao Ye didn't answer the exact number, and said slowly: "The more the merrier!" ”

High-end CNC machine tools are not ordinary things and are extremely sought-after worldwide.

Even if Zhou Huicheng and others buy a lot of units, Wujiang Group can digest it, and even if it is sold to the military in the future, it can make a lot of money.

"Okay, boss, I know, I'll arrange for people to go to Germany immediately!" Zhou Huicheng said excitedly.

Zhao Ye hung up the phone and sighed slightly.

Freezing three feet, not a day's cold.

Western countries have spent decades researching CNC machine tools.

It's not that Tiangong Technology Company is not strong, but it is really difficult to develop high-end CNC machine tools.

At present, Tiangong Technology has made great progress in the research and development of various low-end CNC machine tools, and will sell all kinds of low-end CNC machine tools to the outside world in the near future.

The domestic demand for low-end CNC machine tools is also quite large, and it is expected that Tiangong Technology Company should make a lot of money.

Zhao Ye's expression suddenly moved, and he muttered: "No one is rich without windfall, if Tiangong Technology wants to rise quickly, it has to rely on the big brother of the Soviet Union~"

……

But he said that Zhou Huicheng was so excited that he couldn't help himself, and he immediately notified the senior management of Tiangong Technology to hold a meeting, and then announced Zhao Ye's decision.

Everyone was taken aback, and immediately became very excited, and they all went to Germany to purchase high-end CNC machine tools.

Zhou Huicheng selected several executives with strong communication skills, and then asked Vice President Shen Zeyu to lead the team to Germany.

A few days later, a delegation from Tiangong Technology Company arrived in West Germany.

Germany's precision machining giants are almost all in West Germany, and the economy of East Germany is far worse than that of West Germany.

Tiangong Technology Company soon got in touch with several precision machining companies in Germany, and in the early contact, the other party was willing to sell high-end CNC machine tools, but the price was extremely expensive.

Millions of dollars to tens of millions of dollars.

If it is a machining center, it is tens of millions of dollars.

If you buy it at the price given by the other party, your heart will bleed.

Of course, Tiangong Technology Company was unwilling to accept such a price, and the two sides started long-term negotiations on the price issue.

Shen Zeyu felt that this trip was not easy at this time......

TRUMPF Group.

Inside the conference room.

"Tiangong Technology Co., Ltd. is also a precision machining enterprise, belongs to the German TRUMPF Group competitors, the key is that its parent company is the world's famous Wujiang Group, so we must pay attention to Tiangong Technology!" General Manager Zach Tolan swept his gaze over everyone and said in a deep voice.

"Making it difficult for the other party in terms of price is also to prevent Tiangong Technology from developing too fast. However, the order of Tiangong Technology, we had better win it at TRUMPF Group.

In addition to our German companies, Japanese companies have also made achievements in high-end CNC machine tools, and I am worried that Tiangong Technology will turn around and buy Japanese products.

Therefore, negotiators should pay attention to the balance and grasp the other party's ......"

Everyone nodded one after another, and many people's faces showed disdain and indignation for Japanese machine tools.

"How can Japan's CNC machine tools be compared with our German CNC machine tools, if it weren't for their cheap prices, I'm afraid it would be difficult to sell."

"Having said that, Japanese machine tools are sold cheaper than our German machine tools, so they sell well all over the world and have become the henchmen of German companies. Zach Tolan is right, we should still grasp the proportions, and we can't let Tiangong Technology Company turn around and buy Japanese machine tools! ”

……

……

At this time, Zhao Ye received the news that the negotiation of Tiangong Technology Company to purchase machine tools was not smooth.

"At present, it is not yet the collapse of the Soviet Union, and the negotiation team of Tiangong Technology still has plenty of time."

Zhao Ye picked up the phone and contacted Shen Zeyu.

Zhao Ye did not urge, but told Shen Zeyu that they should negotiate patiently with German machine tool companies, and only need to buy a large number of high-end CNC machine tools before 1991.

"Okay, boss!" Shen Zeyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and suddenly he thought of something, and said to Zhao Ye, "By the way, boss, we went to West Germany this time to learn about West Zeiss, according to our investigation, West Zeiss is probably on the verge of bankruptcy!" ”

When Zhao Ye heard this, his eyes lit up, and West Zeiss was on the verge of bankruptcy, so would Wujiang Group be able to acquire it?

East Zeiss is only complete if it merges West Zeiss!

"Mr. Shen, in your opinion, how likely is it that we will acquire West Zeiss?" Zhao Ye asked.

Shen Zeyu thought for a while and said: "It's more difficult, after all, West Zeiss is a famous optical giant in the world, and there are many companies interested in it, the key is that we are Chinese companies, which are naturally rejected by Western countries." However, we have East Zeiss, West Zeiss and East Zeiss were originally one company, so if the two companies are merged, the purpose of acquiring West Zeiss may not be achieved! ”

When Zhao Ye heard this, he couldn't help but nodded, feeling that what Shen Zeyu said was very reasonable.

The breakthrough in the acquisition of West Zeiss is in East Zeiss.

Zhao Ye couldn't help but be glad that he had acquired East Zeiss early.

Of course, I am also glad that the big brother of the Soviet Union at this time is still standing firm in the front, and I am also glad that Tomohide Murai, an associate professor at the RB Defense University at this time, has not had time to bark and say something.

Otherwise, some German officials may make use of this and thus prevent the Wujiang Group from acquiring West Zeiss.

After ending the call with Shen Zeyu, Zhao Ye felt that more preparations needed to be made in order to ensure that the acquisition of West Zeiss was smoother.

Next year, West Germany and East Germany merged.

West Germany recognized the East German mark and exchanged it 1:1 for the West German mark.

If the WGR holds a large number of East German marks, then the West German government will definitely negotiate with the WGR on how to deal with these East German marks.

Of course, it is impossible to exchange 1:1, so the West German government will have to give some compensation to the Wujiang Group, of which agreeing to buy West Zeiss is one of the conditions.

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the corner of Zhao Ye's mouth.

The East German mark is not worth much now, and it has depreciated very much, and the Wujiang Group only needs to spend a small amount of dollars to exchange a large amount of East German mark.

Previously, Zhao Ye didn't want to pick German wool in this way, so as not to arouse the disgust of the German authorities. However, in order to acquire West Zeiss, it is necessary to do so, and having a large number of East German marks in hand can become an important bargaining chip for the acquisition of West Zeiss.

At that time, Wujiang Group only needs to make a small concession, so that the German government can buy the East German marks in its hands at a low price, without 1:1 exchange, even 1:2 or 1:3.

In this way, the German government will be grateful to the Borderless Group.

Zhao Ye picked up the phone, dialed a number, and gave the order to exchange for East German marks.

……

At this time in East Germany, the economy was regressing, the East German mark had been depreciating, and East German banks or other financial institutions were seriously short of dollars.

Wujiang stretched out an olive branch at this time, which immediately caused a sensation.

"Is this news true or false, and the Borderless Group wants to exchange dollars for East German marks?" Reynard Whitt, president of an East German bank, asked excitedly and suspiciously.

"The news is true, we have confirmed with the Borderless Group, and they do intend to exchange dollars for East German marks!" The secretary replied in a firm tone.

Renard Whitt was still puzzled: "Why did the Borderless Group exchange dollars for East German marks?" It's incredible! ”

Anyone who knows anything about the East German country should know that the East German economy is in decline, and it is difficult to reverse it, so the East German mark will also be in a state of depreciation for a long time.

That is, if you exchange dollars for the East German mark now, you will definitely lose money.

Is Wujiang Group doing loss-making business?

The secretary shook his head, saying that he didn't know, and immediately gave his own judgment: "Maybe Wujiang Group intends to invest in East Germany, so it will exchange a large amount of East German mark ......."

"Perhaps."

Renard Whitt did not dwell on why the Borderless Group wanted to exchange dollars for East German marks, but he was wondering how to win the cooperation of the Borderless Group.

At this time, there were also many powerful people in East Germany who were interested in exchanging US dollars for East German marks.

With dollars, it is possible to transfer property abroad.

It is the so-called "three holes of cunning rabbits".

Not only Chinese have this awareness, but also East Germans.

However, East Germany had very few foreign exchange reserves.

Therefore, even if they want to exchange dollars, it is difficult to do it on a large scale.

Now, they never expected that Wujiang Group would actually hand over the opportunity.

Not long after, someone found Wang Lei, the representative of Wujiang Group in East Germany, and expressed his intention to cooperate with great "sincerity".

"My boss plans to exchange $50 million to the Borderless Group at a black market price, I wonder if you agree?" A middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes with a very mysterious appearance spoke.

"Who's your boss?" Wang Lei asked.

"You don't need to know who my boss is...... Anyway, you Wujiang Group just need the East German mark, and my boss can provide it! ”

Wang Lei probably guessed who the other party was, so he refused directly: "I'm sorry, Wujiang Group is a regular company, and we will only take legal ways to exchange East German marks!" ”

The mysterious man frowned and said, "The black market price will double the profit, aren't you Wujiang Group excited?" ”

Wang Lei shook his head and said: "It's better to be regular, this profit is nothing compared to the reputation of Wujiang Group." If this matter is exposed, it will not be a matter of losing a hundred million dollars or two......"

Seeing Wang Lei's firm tone, the mysterious man retreated, got up and said goodbye: "Okay, if you bother more, I'll leave!" ”

Wang Lei got up and said, "Okay, Mr. go slowly, I won't send it." ”
